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

The soft sunlight fell on the corner of the wall, and the spirits, who had been basking in the sun and catching their breath, silently recovered their energy.

The orthodox monks watched the king with burning passion.

They desperately wanted to elect the monarchy as their sole leader.

However, they don't even have the most basic authority, so they have no right to elect anyone as their leader.

They could only obey their boss's orders: to die, to work, to be exhausted.

Right now, they only dare to challenge Ma Qingqiu and the others because they are cannon fodder from different Daoist sects mixed together.

Ma Qingqiu and the others were in turmoil when they looked at the royal power on the altar.

Through today's events, they have actually realized that royal power is stronger than theirs.

Whether it's authority, a sacrificial ceremony, or the original Five Elements Fruit Tree.

Logically, they should have supported the monarchy, united around him, and then managed and built the Stone City.

However, many people are unwilling to accept this.

"Regarding the Five Elements Fruit Tree, I just don't have a sapling; if I had a sapling, I could do it too."

"The sacrificial ceremony is good, it benefits everyone; but we just didn't think of it; we're all busy forging ley lines and stabilizing Stone City!"

"If we wait another ten days or so, until the earth's veins are completely stabilized and a certain amount of fertile land has been cultivated, we will definitely hold a grand sacrificial ceremony."

"We'll do a better job than him then."

We are all Daoist cultivators.

Although the current monarchy has more authority and is better at handling matters than they have, they are not as powerful as the current monarchy.

However, they believe this is only temporary.

We are all the best of the best, so how could we completely bow our heads because of temporary gains and losses?

Moreover, everyone hasn't even really taken action against the abnormal weather outside the city yet.

Only when we face abnormal weather will we know who is more capable.

On the altar, Wang Quan took a deep breath and shouted, "Everyone, let's cast a spell together to help the spirits recover!"

"Three days later, at the same time, everyone will come to offer sacrifices again."

As he spoke, he took the lead in casting a healing spell to restore the spirits.

Seeing this, Ma Qingqiu and the others also took action.

The group hurriedly helped the spirits recover, and they finally had the strength to eat grass and regain their energy.

At this moment, many cultivators noticed that the blue sky and white clouds above Stone City appeared to be larger.

"The ceremony just now only caused a slight change in the sky above Stone City, yet it gave us so many privilege points!"

"It seems that dealing with abnormal weather is really difficult!"

"However, the rewards of clearing up the abnormal weather were also quite extraordinary!"

"Everyone... I have an idea for dealing with abnormal weather!"

Ma Qingqiu suddenly spoke up: "But I need your help!"

The female cultivator, Mei'er, chuckled softly, "How can I help?"

"Are they going to drain our energy and spirit too?!"

"If you keep drawing blood like this, you'll drain us dry."

Cough!

Ma Qingqiu coughed: "I want to forge a set of magical artifacts!"

"This set of magical artifacts is extremely complex. Although I've collected the materials, I simply don't have the energy to forge it!"

"If everyone helps me, it should be done in a day or two at most!"

"Once it's completed, the magical artifact will unleash its power; if there are any gains, those who helped craft it will also enjoy the benefits!"

The group of cultivators glanced at Wang Quan, then at the slightly changed sky and the points on their identity tokens, and then laughed: "What Wang Quan can do, we can naturally do too."

Then, the group of cultivators surrounded Ma Qingqiu and went off to refine magical artifacts.

Ruo Jinghong and the other hundred or eighty cultivators also gathered together to discuss and deliberate.

They were discussing:

Should we fully support the royal power?

Many cultivators had their own opinions: some believed that Wang Quan was quick-witted, and that both the Five Elements Fruit Tree and the sacrificial ceremony demonstrated his extraordinary abilities.

They should surround him.

However, some cultivators, including the Fierce Tiger Daoist, were unwilling to accept this: "Everyone, Wang Quan's performance in the early stages was extraordinary."

"However, these methods were formed by the combined efforts of many people."

"Without the help of others, how much of the mystery would remain in his methods?"

"Moreover, surviving in the far west is a long-term task."

"There's no need to worry about temporary gains or losses!"

"Before we leave the city and confront the abnormal weather head-on, demonstrating our true skills and abilities, we are qualified to compete with him!"

Ruo Jinghong thought for a moment and said, "I want to support the royal power; however, if you need my help in any way, I will do my best to assist you!"

"Everyone, our competition is healthy!"

"The ultimate goal of all competition is to make Stone City better."

Many cultivators nodded in agreement.

At this moment, on the altar, Wang Quan did not pay attention to Ma Qingqiu and the others. Instead, he had his primordial spirit sit on the altar, lighting incense sticks and repeatedly burning his magical power to worship the great sun.

His true form, accompanied by the master of ceremonies and Meng Huan, headed straight for the Five Elements Fruit Tree planting area.

In just over ten days, these five fruit trees have become much thicker and stronger than before.

Some of the older fruit trees even showed signs of flowering.

However, the earth is still not thick enough, the nutrients are still insufficient, and the earth's veins are still too weak; they are not enough to support them to bloom and bear fruit.

After observing and deducing, Wang Quan discovered that even if he used the "Perform the Four Seasons" technique, he could not make the Five Elements Fruit Trees bloom and bear fruit.

The cultural heritage of this stone city is ultimately lacking; despite numerous renovations and enhancements, it is still far less prosperous than any random barren mountain in the lower courtyard.

"Find some spirits skilled in farming and ask them what kind of plants are suitable for fertilizing the soil in this forest."

Si Xiaohong, who was tending the Five Elements Orchard, nodded: "Mm!"

"I've just selected some spirits skilled in farming; I'll bring them over so you can question them in detail!"

"Um!"

call out!

Si Xiaohong transformed into a streak of light and sped away. Before long, her escape light brought back a hundred and eighty monsters.

To Wang Quan's surprise, the leader was actually a toad demon.

This toad spirit had a large belly and a dirty cloak tied around his short, thick neck; he carried a basket in one hand and a whip in the other.

"Greetings, sir!"

Wang Quan nodded, pointed to the empty space between the five fruit trees, and asked, "What do you think we should plant in this space?"

The toad spirit asked with a fawning smile, "Master, what do you envision for this land in the future?"

Wang Quan laughed: "I want the earth's veins here to become stronger, and the land to become fertile."

The toad spirit's eyes lit up: "That's easy!"

"Planting cow grass is the best option!"

Wang Quan: "Hmm?"

"Why? Are there seeds?"

The toad spirit laughed: "Cattle grass is the favorite food of all herbivorous spirits."

"And eating it will produce a lot of manure!"

"More importantly, these cow grasses do not have high requirements for growing conditions."

"The land here is enough to sustain their growth!"

"As for seeds... I have them!"

"Although there aren't many, they can still fill the gaps."

Wang Quan clapped his hands: "Alright, let's plant cow grass then!"

The toad spirit hesitated for a moment before saying, "Master, it would actually be fine to plant the Misty Grass here as well."

"The Misty Grass can produce some smoke and can be used to refine some elixirs; its value is far greater than that of Cow Grass!"

"And it doesn't even affect the growth of the five elemental fruit trees!"

Why must we plant cow grass?
