Cultivation of Immortality: This is what unorthodox methods are like.

Wang Quan laughed heartily: "I understand!"

"However, even small rural towns have beautiful scenery; you just lack the eyes to see it!"

The dazzling prince...

The two exchanged pleasantries for a long time before the banquet was about to end.

The dazzling prince suddenly spoke up: "Fellow Daoist, you come from a prominent family, and your status and knowledge far surpass ours!"

"We beg you, fellow Daoist, to tell us about the mysteries of the outside world, or the mysteries of cultivation!"

Wang Quan frowned: "Our ancestors said that what I've learned must not be passed on to outsiders!"

The dazzling prince suddenly realized, "I see."

Just a breath later, Wang Quan spoke again: "However, I can take a look at what you are cultivating, and I will explain it to you after I have mastered it."

"This way, it doesn't count as going against our ancestors' decision!"

The dazzling prince nodded and agreed without hesitation.

But after agreeing, it always felt that something was wrong.

However, it didn't have time to think it over and still gave the king a book.

Wang Quan was reading a book, and the contents of it were all recorded in Daoist texts.

He looked down from the platform and saw the creatures below looking at him expectantly, and he suddenly smiled.

This reminded him of the spirits and monsters on Linjiang Mountain.

He flipped through the book and found that the contents were similar to the methods of cultivating Yin and Yang spirits.

He mastered it after just one look.

However, he watched it a second time.

This time, he had completely mastered it.

"Alright, I'm going to start now!"

The dazzling prince asked curiously, "It hasn't even been the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, and you've already mastered the cultivation method?"

Wang Quan smiled and said, "The technique you took is simple and crude. I can understand it after reading it twice."

The dazzling prince remained silent.

It wanted to shout that this technique was a high-level technique of its family.

It took it three to five years to learn it back then.

How did you manage to finish it in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea?

You're not saying this is a low-level technique practiced by your servants, are you?

Could it be that my elderly mother was once a servant of such a large family?

The bloodline of ghosts and gods in my body was obtained by my mother through enduring humiliation and hardship.

Thinking of this, it couldn't help but resent its old mother: "If it had been a little thicker-skinned back then and stayed in the big family, I would be a real prince instead of a country bumpkin."

Thinking of this, it couldn't help but feel sorrow: tens of thousands of eyes welled up with tears.

At this moment, Wang Quan began to preach.

He intended to speak in human language, but when the words reached his lips, he spoke in Taoist language instead.

Bilibili!

Girgh!

The Daoist language is strange and ethereal, resonating throughout the world.

The creatures below couldn't understand, but they still shook their heads and swayed with ecstasy.

As Wang Quan spoke more and more Taoist incantations, flowers bloomed from his mouth, and golden lotuses emerged from the earth.

The flowers fell upon the living beings, and these creatures felt that their minds had been filled with magical information.

Golden lotuses sprang from the ground and carried them, and they felt their wisdom greatly increased.

In an instant, all beings were captivated.

The dazzling prince was shaking his head and swaying his body.

As he listened to Wang Quan preach, he felt that many things he had never understood before suddenly became clear.

He felt his cultivation level rapidly increase.

Many of the cultivation methods he believed to be correct were now riddled with flaws.

"I see!"

"I see, I get it now!"

The dazzling prince suddenly realized something, shaking his dozens of limbs, their eyeballs colliding and jingling: "I truly understand!"

These creatures gained some insights.

The king also gained something: in his inner realm, strange phenomena such as falling flowers from the sky and golden lotuses emerging from the ground also appeared.

Numerous golden lotuses dotted the inner landscape, and 108 streams of malevolent energy roared through them, becoming even more refined.

At the same time, even though he was not practicing any techniques, streams of magical power appeared within his inner realm.

Although this magic power was newly created, its quality was exactly the same as the magic power he had honed for more than ten years.

A cup of tea's time...

A stick of incense...

Half an hour...

Wang Quan recounted the technique repeatedly, going on for twenty or thirty times before finally stopping, still feeling unsatisfied.

It wasn't that he didn't want to talk about it anymore, but rather that the strange phenomena such as golden lotuses and celestial flowers no longer appeared in the inner realm.

However, streams of magical power still began to emerge.

Wang Quan opened his eyes, looked around, and then his expression changed slightly.

Because the bustling crowds have now become quite sparse.

Many beings, seated on golden lotuses, swayed their heads and listened with rapt attention, gradually becoming ethereal and then disappearing completely.

Every time a creature from the underworld disappears, Wang Quan can feel more magical power within his body.

"These heavenly flowers falling and golden lotuses springing from the earth—they've actually refined the beings of the underworld into magical power?"

"Truly wondrous!"

He sensed the increase in magical power and discovered that there were more than a hundred more strands.

At this moment, he looked at the creatures of the underworld with the same joy as he would at elixirs and great medicines.

"With such a method, why should I bother with the arduous practice of magic?"

"From now on, my magical power will be used on the beings in the underworld."

He felt that the beings of the underworld could actually transform into his magical power, which was a gift from heaven and earth to him.

If he doesn't take it, he's wasting resources.

Unfortunately, although he could still explain the techniques in Taoist language, he did not produce the earth-emerging golden lotus or the heavenly flowers falling in profusion.

At this point, he was too lazy to explain anymore.

Not long after, the dazzling prince woke up.

A complex expression appeared on its face, and it sighed in admiration, "Fellow Daoist is indeed formidable!"

"The same technique, the profound mysteries you hastily mastered are even more profound than those I have studied for hundreds of years."

Wang Quan shook his head: "If you try a little harder, you can do it too!"

The dazzling prince remained silent.

It has been working hard for hundreds of years and has long since given up; otherwise, it wouldn't hold a banquet every now and then.

However, although the time spent listening to Wang Quan's sermon was short, he felt that he had gained more than he had in the past three to five years of practice.

At this moment, it was quite surprised to see that about half of the people at the banquet had disappeared.

"Fellow Daoist, what about the other living beings?"

Wang Quan laughed heartily: "Perhaps he had some insights and hastily went into seclusion!"

The dazzling prince sighed, "Let alone them, even I am eager to go into seclusion to consolidate my cultivation."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Wang Quan stood up and said, "I should go!"

The dazzling prince reluctantly exchanged contact information with him: "Fellow Daoist, let's keep in touch!"

"If you ever encounter this city again, please descend upon it."

"Then, we brothers will talk late into the night by candlelight!"

Wang Quan laughed and said, "When I come again in the future, you must find more living beings to participate in the feast, so that it will be more lively!"

The dazzling prince nodded.

A moment later, the royal power transformed into a stream of malevolent energy and roared away into the distance.

After he left, the dazzling prince looked at the crowd below and gritted his teeth: "These bastards actually got such a huge benefit!"

"Get them away quickly!"

"If the Flower-Scattering Taoist comes again, we must never host a banquet for them!"

Wishing all the big shots a happy Lunar New Year's Eve! Sending you my early New Year greetings!
