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

The black bird flies and the rabbit runs:

The Stone City in the far west is becoming increasingly stable.

If Jinghong, Meiniang, Ma Qingqiu and other Daoist cultivators take turns returning to the real world every day to lead orthodox and new-method cultivators to clear away the abnormal climate.

The group did not seek personal credit; they would stop after clearing more than 10,000 abnormal weather phenomena each day.

Then, the remaining time was used by the many cultivators to worship the sun, practice the fundamental law, refine techniques, or forge magical artifacts.

The monks were extremely grateful.

Because in this way, although they are still cannon fodder filling the gaps, they also have time to improve themselves.

If they are lucky enough, they can keep getting stronger and eventually survive; they may even have the opportunity to step into the next realm.

As the abnormal weather patterns were cleared away and as casualties increased, Stone City began constructing special buildings such as the "Corpse Cave".

A large number of corpses are piled up in a pit; after these corpses are blessed by magic, magic tools, rituals and other means, they will generate things such as corpse aura and yin evil aura.

These things can be used to refine magic techniques, magical artifacts, and even malevolent energy.

Whether it's a new method or a traditional cultivation practice, it can be used to improve one's cultivation level.

Moreover, under the blessing of the ritual, the Corpse Cave is like a stabilizing force, a super ley line: its power is embedded in the earth and the sky, stabilizing the surrounding seasonal climate and preventing the occurrence of abnormal weather.

This thing is considered one of the foundations of Stone City.

When Stone City expands in the future, everyone can establish strongholds and build walls on it, expanding little by little.

Besides the Corpse Cave, there is also the Yin Earth, which is created using Yin spirits, souls, and other such things.

This [Yin Soil] is made in imitation of the Yin Palace and is also located deep in the earth, but its effects are different from [Corpse Cave].

The reason for making such things is to avoid wasting the soul, spirit, and other materials in the corpse.

Finally, there are also strange landscapes such as [White Bone Mountain], [Blood Pool], and [Flesh Forest].

These landscape materials were all extracted piecemeal from numerous cannon fodder corpses and were gradually accumulated and crafted without affecting the construction of the [Corpse Cave] and [Yin Soil].

Numerous landmarks stand outside the stone city near the city wall, gradually stabilizing the battle line.

As the battle lines advance, these landscapes will continue to be developed ahead of schedule.

In the real world, besides the steady progress on the front lines outside the city, the development within the city is changing rapidly.

Through the privileges granted to Stone City, the king could possibly maintain the maximum number of inhabitants within the city.

As long as there is a lack of living beings, they can be replenished immediately.

Because he is not picky about food, he accepts anything, whether it's spirits or martial artists.

therefore:

They can replenish cannon fodder at the fastest speed every time.

Many cannon fodder have arrived, and they all have things to do:

Warriors and spirits cultivated fields, disposed of manure, and worshipped the sun, moon, stars, and all directions. In their spare time, they would also venture outside the city to challenge abnormal weather and risk their lives to build numerous landscapes.

The new cultivators are the main force in clearing away abnormal weather.

Their casualty rate is actually more than ten times higher than that of spirits and warriors.

Under the operating rules established by the royal authority and many Daoist cultivators, a new cultivator who can survive in Stone City for three days is considered a mature member of Stone City.

If you can survive for a month, you're considered lucky.

Compared to other living beings, orthodox cultivators are the most carefree.

Every day, a small number of orthodox cultivators at the Qi Refining Realm would go outside the city to fight against the abnormal weather.

Most of the rest of the time was spent refining earth veins, spiritual veins, and energy veins, worshipping the sun and moon, and practicing magic and techniques.

Their safety has greatly increased, but they have almost no time to rest.

A true Qi Refining Realm cultivator can only rest for half an hour a day.

And this is because their level of understanding is too low.

Those orthodox Foundation Establishment cultivators work non-stop for twelve hours a day.

Often, after ten or fifteen days of busy work, one can only get an hour of rest.

While they were resting, they would be carried away from time to time by spirits and warriors to various places, either to maintain the landscape or to sort out the earth's veins.

Finally, there's the development of the emcee, the dream, and others.

Over the past few months, the Foundation Establishment cultivators who came from the Lower Temple have finally cultivated a certain number of [Sunflower Essences].

As the number of times the Great Sun is worshipped increases, the efficiency of the Sunflower Essence in producing sunlight also continuously improves.

Initially, they could only produce a thousand or eight hundred gourds per day.

After several months of development, production increased more than tenfold.

One gourd of sunlight is equivalent to the power of ten Qi Refining Realm [Salvation Scripture] sessions.

This quantity and power are negligible compared to the second layer of the world corresponding to the far west.

However, over time, the production of Sunflower Essence will continue to increase.

Moreover, this sunlight is an additional boost to cleansing away evil.

Therefore, the royal power was quite satisfied with this.

Ee-yah-yah!

Orthodox cultivators chanted Taoist incantations and released a "shrinking spell," shrinking each gourd to the size of a peanut and dropping it into a large gourd.

One large gourd can hold ten thousand small gourds.

When needed, simply spray your magic power onto the large gourd and tap the bottom of it to release small gourds.

When the small gourd falls, it's like a thunderbolt exploding, unleashing a torrent of sunlight to cleanse all evil.

Although its power is somewhat limited, if we continue for another year or two, the production capacity of Sunflower Essence will at least double.

The current constraint on the development of Stone City is actually the issue of grain production.

Fortunately, the promotion of ley lines and spiritual soil techniques has increased the daily food production of Stone City, thus enabling it to feed more cannon fodder.

"ten years!"

"Within ten years at most, the earth veins, spiritual veins, energy veins, and sunflower essence of Stone City will enter a stable internal cycle."

"After that, the sunlight we've accumulated, or any other resources, will be more than enough for you to make a name for yourself in the second layer of the world!"

"At that time, you will make a name for yourself, capturing a building in one fell swoop and creating a small safe zone."

"Even the smallest safe zone is enough for you to gain a firm foothold in the far west!"

The female officiant, a Taoist nun, excitedly described the future.

Wang Quan remained unmoved upon hearing this.

On the contrary, the Taoist nun looked excited and expectant: "At that time, we will be able to save up some money to repair our foundation."

"By the way, I asked other cultivators, even Ruo Jinghong and the others, and they all said there was no way to repair the foundation."

"How did you know?"

Wang Quan laughed: "The methods for repairing one's foundation are naturally unknown to ordinary people."

"I only gained some insight after learning a spell that could 'perform the four seasons'."

"Finally, by combining some records in the Taoist scriptures, we discovered the methods for repairing and building up the foundation."

"This method doesn't cause much damage, but it will take up some of my time."

"So, don't tell anyone!"

The emcee and Meng Huan nodded repeatedly.

Wang Quan then instructed them, "Even when you are busy, do not forget to study the Taoist scriptures!"

"After all, the Taoist scriptures are very important!"

"Um!"

The two female cultivators nodded vigorously.

By this time, they already knew the importance of the Taoist scriptures.

Although the time wasted in the past cannot be made up for, they must seize the opportunity in the future.

While Wang Quan was exchanging ideas and discussing future development with the two female cultivators, in a large mansion in City No. 95 of the 95th Ring of the Underworld, a group of cloaked figures and ghosts wearing vertical eye masks were whispering and discussing Wang Quan.
