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

He reviewed the two fundamental methods from his memory; relying on the high level of the Daoist script, he directly deciphered the perfect version.

These two fundamental methods can cultivate the skills of "Earth Drowning in Water" and "Thick Earth Drowning in Water".

It can supplement the types and number of his drownings, and enhance his knowledge.

After mastering the fundamental method, he searched for spells similar to the "Scripture of Salvation".

However, after searching, the huge Dharma transmission hall did not contain any fundamental Dharma that was in line with the "Scripture of Salvation".

"Could it be in the Transmission Hall?"

On a whim, he headed straight for the transmission hall.

He searched here, but still couldn't find it.

"Looks like we'll have to use the 'Scripture of Saving People' again in the future!"

He pondered for a moment and searched for spells that were effective against ley lines.

Then, thousands of spells appeared in the search results.

He kept setting conditions, and the number of spells kept decreasing.

When the number of spells was reduced to about a hundred, he saw a very unique spell: Foundation Building. Spirit Earth Spell.

After becoming a second-rank Daoist in the Lower Temple of Drowning, he obtained thirty-six spells, including the [Spiritual Soil Technique], for building foundation-building Daoist platforms.

These thirty-six spells are quite interesting.

When it spread, it brought a great boost to the entire Lower Court and even to the new Dharma practitioners.

He had always thought that only those at the Qi Refining Realm possessed these thirty-six spells.

But now it seems that even the Foundation Establishment stage exists.

A thought struck him, and he asked the mirror, "Is the [Foundation Building. Spirit Earth Technique] the fastest spell for constructing ley lines?"

A message appeared on the mirror: "Not the fastest, but it is the most stable and consumes the least resources."

[You can continuously build ley lines, soil, etc., simply by investing mana and time, without any other material consumption.]

Wang Quan's heart stirred: "List the other thirty-five similar spells."

[Foundation Building. Embroidery], [Foundation Building. Textiles]...

One spell after another appeared.

Without hesitation, Wang Quan studied and mastered the text.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he mastered thirty-six kinds of magic.

After mastering the thirty-six spells, he discovered that to use them, he had to first learn the thirty-six spells of the Qi Refining Realm.

If you don't know how, you can't use the thirty-six spells of the Foundation Establishment stage.

"These thirty-six spells are just the right replacements for the previous ones, and can be used to create the Purple Mansion."

"Now, let me see how powerful these spells are."

With that in mind, he released seventy-two trails of dust, heading straight for the planned site for the earth vein construction.

Upon arriving at the destination, he uttered incantations and cast the [Foundation Building. Spirit Earth Technique].

With the next breath, all ten streams of magical power were exhausted.

He thrust one hand into the void and grabbed a handful of spiritual soil.

Whoosh!

The spiritual soil fell into the white jade box, exactly one thousand grains, no more, no less.

"It doesn't seem to have changed much!"

Wang Quan was initially quite disappointed.

He then used the [Spiritual Soil Technique] of the Qi Refining Realm to grab a handful of spiritual soil for comparison.

After comparing the results, he found that the spiritual soil captured by the Foundation Establishment Spiritual Soil Technique was significantly more crystal clear.

He threw the spirit soil he had captured using the [Spirit Soil Technique] onto the ground.

call out!

A thousand grains of spiritual soil disappeared.

Then, he sensed that the earth veins beneath his feet had become thicker, and even increased in length.

He memorized all the characteristics of this ley line, then poured the spirit soil he had gathered using the [Foundation Building. Spirit Earth Technique] onto the ground.

A breath...

Three breaths...

Five breaths...

The spiritual soil merges into the earth's veins, making them thicker and longer.

He recorded a lot of data and was quite pleased after comparing the two.

Because the Foundation Building Spirit Earth Technique is ten times more efficient than the Qi Refining Spirit Earth Technique.

Yes, the mana consumption is also ten times higher.

But that didn't matter to him.

He has no shortage of magical powers.

He now possesses 12,000 units of magical power, and with the blessing of nine breaths, each recovery yields 120 units of magical power.

In addition, he also has many other blessings such as the Foundation Establishment Platform and the Third Grade Dao Seal, which enable him to recover about two hundred strands of mana after nine breaths.

Theoretically speaking, if he slows down even slightly, he can keep grabbing indefinitely.

"Then, let's begin the struggle!"

call out!

A golden primordial spirit emerged from the inner realm, taking his place. Its eyes were vacant, and it mechanically and steadily chanted Taoist incantations, casting spells to grasp spiritual soil.

Each handful of spiritual soil landed on the ground and merged into the original earth vein.

This ley line is slowly but steadily expanding.

As the earth's veins expanded, the king carefully perceived the changes in the land.

These enlarged ley lines release strange power, nourishing the soil and giving it a glimmer of life.

At the same time, the land in the area where the ley lines are located seems to have gained a slightly heavier feel.

As he observed the changes in the earth, cultivators began to arrive in small groups.

These cultivators either ascended a platform to perform rituals, using various materials to create tiny veins of earth, which they then cast into the earth.

Or it could be the arrangement of rituals to enhance the earth's energy.

Or perhaps they could soar into the sky, pluck soil from the heavens, and amplify the earth's veins.

The methods employed by various cultivators differ due to personal preferences and fundamental principles.

However, everyone's ultimate goal is still to enhance the earth's veins.

Like the king, they first cast a spell to release the Yang spirit, and then cast a spell together with their main body to bless the earth's veins.

Wang Quan took a deep breath. Although he really wanted to learn more magic, master more fundamental laws, and even refine more drowning spells.

However, at this point, the most important thing is to enhance the ley lines.

He suppressed all his thoughts and continued to gather spiritual soil to amplify the ley line.

A quarter of an hour...

More and more monks are returning.

When Ma Qingqiu returned and saw Wang Quan use the [Spirit Earth Technique], a look of surprise and disbelief flashed in his eyes.

"How does he also know [Spirit Earth Technique]?"

"Did his lower academy possess this spell, or did he acquire it himself after advancing to the [Second-Rank Dao Inscription] level before reaching Foundation Establishment?"

"It must be the latter!"

"Even among the orthodox sects of Xuanmen, there are probably very few who can master the [Second Grade Dao Seal] before Foundation Establishment; he, a cultivator of the unorthodox path with shallow knowledge and no opportunity, is even less capable of doing so."

"It just so happens that I've also learned the [Foundation Building Spirit Earth Technique]. I'll use it now and let him know that he's inferior to me."

Half an hour...

Ma Qingqiu frowned.

Several cultivators who had mastered the [Second Grade Dao Seal] before reaching the Foundation Establishment stage also frowned inwardly.

"What happened?"

"How does he have so much magical power?"

"We need to rest and replenish our magical energy after capturing some spiritual soil; why doesn't he keep doing that?"

"Is his base mana level higher than mine? Or did he recover a greater amount of mana after nine breaths? Or is he blessed with a potential magical artifact that restores mana?"

Ma Qingqiu and several other cultivators who had forged top-tier Foundation Establishment platforms were puzzled.

They possess twelve thousand strands of magical power, and are blessed with the ability to recover after nine breaths; however, if they grasp the earth at the frequency of royal authority, repeating this process more than ten times, their magical power will inevitably be exhausted, and they will need to rest for the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea before they can continue grasping.

But the monarchy never rested, remaining as stable as a machine.

"How can this guy recover his magic power so quickly?" Ma Qingqiu wondered.

One hour...

Two hours...

Three hours...

Ma Qingqiu hasn't paid attention to royal power for quite some time.

He felt that if he continued to pay attention to Wang Quan, he would think of himself as a heretical cultivator, while Wang Quan was a true cultivator of the Xuanmen sect.

However, at that moment, he heard someone exclaim, "Fellow Daoist, are you planting a tree?"

"Stop right now!"

"The vitality here is too weak. Let alone trees, even a blade of grass could be drained of all life, wasting everyone's time."

"We need to cultivate the earth's energy for over a month before we can hope to plant trees."

"Don't be impulsive!"

—Thank you all for your support—Thank you so much—

—I've come up with the best title—"Falling into the wrong path doesn't matter, just keep reading and you'll become an immortal"—Do you think this is better, or the original title? I'm at a loss, I don't know how to choose.
