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

Daoist cultivators hold themselves in high esteem in front of those practicing the new orthodox methods.

When they were with these monks, they all consciously or unconsciously acted as the leader.

But things are a little different in the far west:

Because this far western region is simply too dangerous.

Let alone Foundation Establishment cultivators, even those at the Purple Mansion Golden Core stage will die instantly without hesitation.

In the past, we relied on having a large number of people, on having cannon fodder to replenish our ranks, and on having backup.

Many cultivators at the Daoist Qi Refining Realm, Foundation Establishment, and Purple Mansion stages are all working hard in the far west with a positive mindset.

But now:

Many top experts were transferred to the far east, far south, and far north.

Even a massive amount of cannon fodder was removed.

Initially, everyone panicked, but they were able to hold on.

Because the bigwigs above haven't sent any definite news.

However, just a few days later, everyone couldn't hold on any longer; because a clear message came from above:

[In the far west, under the wise leadership of three thousand unorthodox sects, eight hundred unorthodox schools, and one hundred and eight orthodox schools, the internal circulation has been completed.]

In just over a hundred years, thanks to the efforts of numerous masters from various sects, the far west has transformed from a barren land into a prosperous one.

We hope that, a century from now, the far west will provide grassroots support to the far south, far east, and far north.

......

After that rambling nonsense, all the Daoist cultivators below the Golden Core level in the far west felt uneasy.

As for ordinary and new-style cultivators, they had no information about this at all, so they continued to optimistically go to their deaths every day, serving as cannon fodder.

But it wasn't long before they discovered:

The tasks assigned to them by the higher-ups gradually decreased, and their level of security was significantly improved.

Many times, they could see those Foundation Establishment cultivators who were also Foundation Establishment cultivators, but whose strength was dozens of times greater than theirs, personally overseeing and helping them fight against abnormal weather.

This moved many cultivators to tears of gratitude.

Stone City:

With the opening of the three new areas in the east, south, and north, everyone's spirits were low.

Wang Quan was like this, Mei Niang was like this, Ruo Jinghong was like this, and Ma Qingqiu and others were the same.

"We urgently need manpower. If we can get another 1.8 million Daoist cultivators, we can overcome the abnormal climate within a radius of 100 miles and expand Stone City again."

Why were our logistical support suddenly cut off?

Everyone complained and was quite unhappy.

Wang Quan adjusted his mindset the fastest: "Everyone, our situation is not bad: we can still replenish fifty Dao Seal Foundation Establishment cultivators and hundreds of Dao Seal Qi Refining cultivators every day."

"In other cities, let alone Foundation Establishment cultivators, there probably aren't even any Qi Refining cultivators left."

Upon hearing this, everyone perked up, their faces lighting up with excitement: "Excellent!"

"We can still replenish some Dao scripture. I've seen many cities complaining that they have no Dao scripture to replenish."

"Now, every one of them who dies is one less to worry about."

"Much worse off than us."

One of the cultivators laughed: "If we keep replenishing our supplies, we can supply a million more cannon fodder every day!"

"But will we be able to replenish so many cannon fodder in a few days?"

"I don't think so."

"So everyone, I have an idea."

Wang Quan and the others asked curiously, "What are you thinking?"

The cultivator took a deep breath: "Judging from the current situation, future support will become increasingly scarce."

"In the future, the city with the largest population will develop better."

Mei Niang's eyes lit up: "You mean: bring over a massive number of cannon fodder and let them reproduce?"

The monk nodded: "Indeed!"

"The spirits reproduce the fastest. Even if there is only one pair of rabbit spirits left, a hundred or eighty rabbit spirits will grow next year."

"Only martial artists and cultivators of the new methods reproduce slowly."

"Therefore, we stockpiled a batch of martial artists in advance."

"Then let them reproduce."

One cultivator shook his head: "The current food production in Stone City is not enough to feed more cultivators."

Many cultivators nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Ma Qingqiu smiled: "They can be raised!"

"Hmm?" Everyone looked at him suspiciously.

Ma Qingqiu coughed and looked at Wang Quan: "The martial artists' food was actually used by Fellow Daoist Sahua."

"If Fellow Daoist Scattering Flowers collects less, or even no, the excrement of the spirits, then we can feed at least fifty million, or even hundreds of millions of martial artists."

"Gentlemen, fifty million martial artists are more than enough for us to complete the internal circulation!"

hiss!

Many people gasped in shock.

Mei Niang's eyes widened even more: "Are you going to make them eat excrement to survive?"

Ma Qingqiu nodded: "I've seen many martial artists smearing dung on walls."

"When they are hungry, they only need a handful of dung to fill their stomachs."

"It's not difficult to feed hundreds of millions of martial artists by combining manure and spiritual grains."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, and finally all turned to look at Wang Quan.

They really couldn't make a decision about such a beastly thing.

Wang Quan coughed: "Stone City has high enough authority, and the number of warriors and monsters is small enough."

"We don't need to worry about the cannon fodder at the bottom."

Upon hearing this, many people nodded in agreement: "That's right!"

Ma Qingqiu suddenly said, "But what if we run out of them later?"

"The far west has 108,000 cities; the other three regions will each have 108,000 cities!"

"We might have enough cannon fodder, but what about the materials needed to teleport them?"

"We are too far from our homeland, so the loss during a single transmission must be very large."

"Back when there was only one far western region, the important figures there limited the number of people that could be teleported."

"Now that there are three more locations, will there be even more restrictions in the future?"

Upon hearing this, Ruo Jinghong and the others frowned.

Wang Quan smiled and said, "These are all speculations. We'll have to wait for concrete information."

"By the way, you should quickly try to contact the relatives and friends who came this time. If any of them are willing to come to the far west, please provide their detailed addresses and names, and I will try to get them here."

"Hmm... Before they come, let them check out the situation in the other places."

Upon hearing this, everyone was delighted and nodded in agreement: "Thank you, fellow Daoist."

Mei Niang's mind raced: "Since you have the means to bring people here, why don't you bring your Daoist partner here as well?"

Wang Quan sighed, "The problem is I don't have her exact address right now."

"If we had a precise address, it would be a simple matter of a single sentence."

Mei Niang said dejectedly, "It seems that it will be extremely difficult for me to rise to the top."

Wang Quan chuckled: "You seem to be having a lot of fun with a group of people right now!"

Mei Niang nodded: "It is very enjoyable, but some newcomers, with their average temperament, are easily addicted."

"During this time, many people have said they want to be my fixed Daoist partner and not allow anyone else to get involved."

Wang Quan's heart skipped a beat: "So, you agreed?"

Mei Niang glared and shook her head:

"Do these guys think I'm some innocent, virtuous young girl? Isn't this an insult to me?"

"So, I slapped them a few times right then and there."
