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

"Wine and women have made me unhappy!"

"From today onwards, I'm not listening!"

Outside the window, Ruo Jinghong covered her ears and gazed into the distance.

In the distance, auspicious clouds hung in the sky, and small veins of earth, like swimming fish, descended from the sky, penetrating the earth and amplifying it.

Yingjiaren's Fire Mulberry Tree carries the Five Elements Fruit Trees, which regulate the earth's veins, adjust the earth's fire and water feng shui, and gradually enhance the earth.

Everything here is almost exactly the same as in Stone City.

In just a few months, the foundation of Bitter Cold City has improved several times over compared to before the battle.

In some places, people have begun to cultivate spiritual grains, vermilion fruits, and other sustenances that can nourish mortals.

These things will enable the city of Bitter Cold to become self-sufficient.

In this way, it will gradually develop into a city like Stone City, with the ability to control its own future.

When the First Legion Commander and the others saw this scene, they didn't say anything, but they had already acknowledged Ying Jiaren's methods.

"Sure enough, with Stone City as the benchmark, we are now just following in its footsteps."

"Although it will take decades, or even centuries, for Bitterfrost City to become completely self-sufficient."

"But at least it's a glimmer of hope."

"Even if we don't receive any supplies from above in the future, we can slowly get through it."

"If things continue like this, the Bitter Cold City may truly become the most dazzling pearl in the far north."

Thinking of this, the First Legion Commander smiled.

The other legion commanders also noticed this.

They also saw hope.

Moreover, everyone has realized that the fundamental factor restricting the development of Bitter Cold City is still the land.

As long as the earth is thick enough, as long as there are enough ley lines, as long as there are enough spiritual veins and energy veins, then, without a hundred years or even a few decades, Bitter Cold City can become the pearl of the far north.

The once impoverished city is now thriving.

Whether they were spirits serving as cannon fodder, or new cultivators, martial artists, or even orthodox cultivators, at this moment, a glimmer of hope appeared on their faces.

When Ruo Jinghong saw this scene, the corners of her mouth turned up, and a hint of joy appeared in her eyes.

"This place will become the second Stone City."

"Well... the premise is that they can create a temporary safe zone in the second layer of the world."

"But...can they really do it?"

"I wonder how the safe zone in the second layer of the world corresponding to Stone City has developed now."

"Hmm, I should ask Meiniang. She brought some multi-barreled cannons and evil to the present world. Perhaps those evils have the ability to contact the evil back home."

Thinking of this, her expression suddenly changed slightly: "Wait, where's Meiniang?"

"Ma Qingqiu is also missing!"

"And... Niu Dali?"

Upon realizing this, Ruo Jinghong quickly contacted the First Legion Commander: "The cultivators we came with went out to play with your family's cultivators and have not returned yet."

"Can you check if they're in your camp?"

At the same time, she contacted the other monks who had come with her.

Soon, many cultivators replied using their identity tokens.

However, more than a dozen cultivators, including Meiniang and Niu Dali, did not reply.

Even the Tiger Taoist, who was skilled in transformation, did not reply.

Ruo Jinghong immediately sensed something was wrong: "Something's happened!"

At this time, the First Army Corps Commander replied: "We are short five or six army corps commanders here."

"Some top-tier cultivators have also disappeared."

"We thought they were with you."

Upon hearing this, the two women suddenly realized and exclaimed in unison, "Something's happened!"

"Meet me in the council chamber!"

call out!call out!call out!

A series of malevolent energies swept in and crashed into the council hall.

call out!call out!

One by one, magical artifacts rose into the air, radiating precious light and enveloping everything in their protective glow.

There were also special elixirs, resembling magical artifacts, hanging in mid-air and rotating, releasing a great deal of elixir energy.

The precious light and the aura of the pills were used partly to seal off the council hall and partly to detect and verify the identities of all the cultivators who entered.

Upon seeing this method, each cultivator frowned.

However, no one said much, and they simply let the precious light and the elixir energy wash over their bodies.

After a short while, Ruo Jinghong and the First Legion Commander recounted their discovery.

One of the monks frowned.

However, many other cultivators didn't care: "Just cast spells to find them."

"Perhaps they're enjoying their seclusion!"

"The Flower-Scattering Taoist has also disappeared? Why haven't I seen him?"

Ruo Jinghong coughed: "He's studying Taoist scriptures with Ying Jiaren!"

One of the monks frowned: "Who can be sure? What if they've actually disappeared too?"

Ruo Jinghong blushed slightly and patted her chest to guarantee:

"Hmm... I kept watch the gate for them. They were very loud; they're definitely not missing!"

The cultivators then breathed a sigh of relief with strange expressions.

"It's good that they haven't gone missing!"

"Fellow Daoist, your thoughtfulness in helping them guard the gate is truly remarkable."

Ruo Jinghong... glared fiercely at the other party.

Cough!

A group of monks coughed: "Everyone, tell me, when was the last time you saw them?"

After much discussion, the following conclusion was reached:

Everyone saw them after that grand banquet when they brought the deer's spirit back from the underworld.

One of the monks muttered, "Could it be that those ghosts and spirits ate them?"

If Jinghong retorted, "Impossible!"

"If the Flower-Scattering Taoist Wang Quan were alive, even if they had ten thousand lives, they wouldn't dare to eat people."

One of the cultivators frowned: "Then, where did they go?"

The other monks remained silent.

Yes, where did all these people go?

They wouldn't care if it were just one or a few missing cultivators.

Because this is the far north, where abnormal weather is rampant, if one leaves the city, one might be wiped out by the abnormal weather in an instant.

However, more than a dozen cultivators, including Daoist cultivators and even several top-ten legion commanders, have all disappeared.

This is a problem.

Many cultivators studied it, but still couldn't figure it out.

Finally, Ruo Jinghong said in a deep voice, "Let's all cast spells together to find them!"

"I want to see him alive or dead!"
