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

Snapped!Snapped!

The Taoist nun, the master of ceremonies, slapped the toad demon twice across the face: "Do whatever the master tells you to do!"

"If you keep babbling, I'll skin you alive!"

The toad spirit felt wronged and dared not say anything, but its stomach rumbled loudly with anger.

Wang Quan laughed and said, "Focus on your work and don't overthink it!"

"You can have the spirits plant cow grass; as long as it doesn't affect the ley lines or the spirit valley, you can plant it anywhere!"

"oh!"

With the king's permission, the toad spirit took grass seeds from the small basket and distributed them to many other spirits.

Then he cracked the whip, shouting, "Get to work!"

"Then stimulate the growth of grass seeds!"

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

With each crack of the whip, handfuls of grass seeds scattered across the barren land.

The spirits sprayed out plumes of mist and rain that enveloped the earth, and soon the grass seeds sprouted and grew vigorously.

A spirit led a cow spirit over to eat grass.

These bull demons have gleaming eyes and are addicted to eating; they eat and defecate at the same time, thus forming a small cycle.

Elephant spirits, hippopotamus spirits, and other monsters also chimed in: "We can eat cow grass too, and we can defecate too; we even defecate more than the cow spirits!"

The toad spirit laughed: "Then eat to your heart's content."

"Eat as much as you can, as long as it doesn't kill you."

The many herbivorous spirits were excited and overjoyed.

Because of the increased manure and the enhanced soil texture, more areas are now planted with cowgrass.

In just three days, the toad spirit watched as the herbivorous monsters ate and drank their fill, and suddenly cried out, "So... this is why Master wouldn't let me plant the Misty Grass!"

At that moment, it broke down in tears.

Many spirits, unaware of the reasoning, simply urged it, "Go ahead and whip us! We're bored if you don't!"

The toad spirit laughed heartily, then jumped onto the head of a giraffe spirit, shaking its cloak and brandishing its long whip.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

With a series of crisp cracking sounds, it shouted, "Eat hard, produce lots of manure!"

"Anyone who slacks off will be buried under the fruit trees as fertilizer!"

"Whoever produces the most excrement, I'll report it to the monks under the master's command, and they'll reward you, perhaps even finding you some of their own kind to help you reproduce!"

Upon hearing this, the many excrement-producing monsters became even more energetic and motivated.

The black bird flies and the rabbit runs:

Three days later, the second sacrificial ceremony began.

This time, there were 60,000 more orthodox Foundation Establishment cultivators and more than 200,000 more spirits than before.

During this worship ceremony, the normal weather conditions over Stone City were slightly more pronounced.

However, what aggrieved the cultivators was:

They didn't receive any more privilege points.

The throne was not obtained either.

He thought that after this incident, many Daoist cultivators and orthodox Foundation Establishment cultivators would be unwilling to perform the ritual.

As a result, everyone still came for the third worship ceremony.

once.....

three times.....

Thirty times.....

After the thirtieth worship ceremony, the entire Stone City became exceptionally lively.

A large number of spirits, orthodox Foundation Establishment cultivators, new practitioners, martial artists, and orthodox Qi Refining cultivators appeared in Stone City.

At this time, during the more than three months of development, the soil thickness in Stone City had reached about 1,000 meters.

Even in this barren land, there are veins of earth everywhere.

Although these earth veins are weak, and many of them are even in danger of collapsing at any moment, once they penetrate into the earth, they are connected by the roots of the Five Elements Fruit Trees that are spread deep within the earth.

The various earth vein powers support and amplify each other through communication and coordination via tree roots.

In addition, many places in Stone City are covered with cow grass.

Many herbivorous creatures will prioritize eating cow grass to produce manure.

Because those big shots told them that as long as they continued to produce excrement, and produced a lot of it, they would never have to go outside the city to die again.

The spirits didn't want to die, so they naturally worked hard to eat grass and produce excrement.

and:

Because the number of spirits in the city is increasing, although the amount of fertile land opened up in the city has also increased, the output is still not enough, and many spirits are starving.

Herbivorous spirits can at least nibble on the grass for a while; but carnivorous spirits can only eke out a living by relying on the spiritual grains distributed from above.

Some spirits who don't want to eat spirit grains survive by borrowing flesh.

However, as time goes by, the borrowed meat must eventually be returned:

A skinny, spotted leopard cub peeked furtively from the corner of the wall.

An elephant stretches out its trunk to roll up grass and eat it.

One breath...

Ten breaths...

Thirty breaths...

Glug!

The elephant's belly rumbled, and a clump of dung fell to the ground.

In the next instant, many monsters rushed out from the corners of walls and ditches:

A hedgehog, wielding a steel fork, transformed into a rolling ball and headed straight for the elephant dung.

A dung beetle came running, shouting, "Get out of the way! This is mine!"

There were many monsters, including jackals, milk cats, and giant snakes, wielding pitchforks and carrying dung baskets, charging and attacking wildly.

They have only one goal: to grab the manure while it's still hot, otherwise they won't even get a single hair of manure.

Awoo!

The spotted leopard cub bared its teeth and roared, charging towards the elephant dung like a vicious dog: "Get the hell out of my way, or I'll eat you all!"

However, the many spirits sneered and dismissed it with disdain.

die?

What kind of monster would dare to kill in the city?

Snapped!

A hedgehog spirit rolled under the leopard's feet.

The leopard spirit sneered and leaped into the air to pass over it.

The next instant, a snake's tail lashed across its head.

boom!

The leopard spirit saw stars and fell to the ground.

Before it could get up, the other monsters, as if they had planned it together, started punching and kicking it.

Finally, two dung beetles picked up its paws and slapped them hard on the hedgehog's back.

Pfft!

Blood splattered everywhere, and the leopard demon rolled on the ground in agony, howling, "It hurts so much, Leopard Lord!"

It gritted its teeth, bracing its injured paws, and prepared to continue snatching the dung. Then it saw that the dung, the size of a table, had already been divided up by the many monsters.

Ignoring the leopard spirit, these monsters, overjoyed, carried their dung straight to the dung recycling station.

The manure recycling station will reward the animals with grass, spirit grains, or even meat and wine, depending on the amount of manure they bring.

The leopard demon gritted its teeth: "Damn it... for this piece of elephant dung, so many of you bastards ganged up on me? Is it really worth it?"

The hedgehog spirit chuckled: "Not at all!"

"But your creditors promised us other benefits in exchange for ruining you!"

"Those benefits are enough to make us take action!"

The spotted leopard cub was stunned.

It instinctively turned around and saw a pig demon that was over two meters tall, with tusks over a foot long protruding from its mouth and bristles as thick as chopsticks covering its back.

The pig demon was dark-skinned, with a fat head and big ears, drooling, and chuckled wickedly: "Little leopard, you're injured, you can't even get any manure to survive!"

"We're even less able to repay the loaned meat!"

"My request for you today isn't high: from now on, you'll be my mount, and I'll treat you very well; if you follow me, whatever I eat, you'll have too!"

"No?"

The leopard spirit gritted its teeth: "I won't comply!"

The pig demon rolled up his sleeves, pulled out two tusks from his mouth, and sneered, "What right do you have to disobey?"

"Do you really think your grandpa pig wouldn't dare poke you?"
