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

The far west, Stone City:

After many years, upon returning to Stone City, everyone, including Wang Quan, Ruo Jinghong, and the master of ceremonies, exclaimed in amazement and shock.

These past three years have felt like yesterday to Wang Quan and other cultivators, especially the Daoist cultivators.

However, for Stone City, its spirits, warriors, new-method cultivators, and even ordinary orthodox cultivators, these three years were truly a long time.

Over the past three years;

Stone City expands once a year.

In just three years, the area of ​​Stone City has expanded more than tenfold compared to its original size.

Such a large increase makes Stone City able to accommodate more living beings.

Because of the monarchical policies, the Stone City has the largest number of spirits and warriors.

The reason there are so many of these two groups is because they are used as cannon fodder, raw materials, and reserves.

Nowadays, five-element fruit trees are planted every now and then in Stone City.

There are also many special spiritual fruits, herbs, and farmlands.

From above, if you ignore the terrible and unusual weather outside the city, the entire city appears as a vibrant and thriving inland city, full of life.

tread!tread!tread!

The king walked the streets and alleys:

The martial artists continued to secretly smear excrement on the walls; the fermented excrement from the spirits was even more potent.

When martial artists eat it, they are more efficient at cultivating their qi and blood, and it is also easy to digest and does not cause heartburn.

Under the leadership of the Big and Little Drill Winds, the spirits created the renowned organization of Stone City, the Embroidered Guard.

The "Jinxiu Guard" is mainly composed of spirits and monsters such as the Brocade-haired Rat, Hydrangea Ball, White-eye Bird, Chrysanthemum, various embroidered patterns, and Locust Guard.

This organization secretly investigates spirits, martial artists, and practitioners of new methods.

Any reactionary remarks or violations of rules discovered should be reported to Da Xiao Zuanfeng.

Then, the big and small drills dispatched experts to forcefully capture and suppress the criminals, or buried them in the fields as fertilizer, or drove in live stakes to stabilize the overall situation.

As a result, the internal environment of the entire Stone City remained relatively stable.

When Wang Quan left, he left behind some Foundation Establishment cultivators from the lower courtyard, including Si Xiaohong.

These monks may not be able to do big things, but they can certainly help carry out the plan.

Under the leadership of Si Xiaohong and others, although the number of living beings in the city is now close to 100 million, the city is now able to achieve basic self-sufficiency in food.

While it might not be fair to say the food was excellent, it was definitely enough to fill you up.

Moreover, as time went on, everyone's food got better and better.

what is interesting:

Nearly 100 million living beings pray and worship the sun, moon, stars, all directions, the earth, and the sky day and night.

Thanks to everyone's efforts, the alternation of the sun and moon, and the changes of stars in the sky above Stone City are now exactly the same as those in the inland areas.

Moreover, the earth is thick enough that springs gush out in many places.

The vast stone city is full of life.

The most significant change was to the mulberry tree that Qian Xiuyue had sent.

This mulberry tree is now thirty feet tall, its canopy spreading gracefully.

It is constantly refining sunlight, turning it into flames that fall onto the [Sunflower Essence] and are then stored in the gourd.

Wang Quan roughly estimated that, with the blessing of the Fire Mulberry Tree, the gourds produced by the Sunflower Spirits in a day were roughly equivalent to one-third of their output when they were drowning.

That's quite an impressive number.

After all, during the drowning incident at the Lower House, almost the entire population was working to generate sunshine.

In Stone City, the entire population worships the sun, with only a few spirits and monks assisting the Fire Mulberry Tree in refining sunlight.

The number of people refining sunlight differs greatly between the two sides, but the output is not significantly different.

That's enough.

Whoosh!

Wang Quan sat upright on the fire mulberry tree, with many flames swirling around him, rising and falling, drawn by the smoke and dust from the seventy-two paths.

Hundreds of crystal brains hung behind him, intertwined with strands of hair, swaying in the wind.

Beneath the mulberry tree, a few thousand tumor-like spirits diligently practiced the fundamental method of the idiot's path, striving to improve their cultivation.

After some of the tumorous monsters broke through a level, they excitedly danced around, shouting, "I've got it!"

"Haha, the Great Dao is right before my eyes, I will surely ascend to become a demon immortal."

Among the many lively spirits, there was a butterfly spirit whose eyes darted around.

Its eyes sometimes looked blank, sometimes sharp.

"The fundamental principles of the 'Idiot Path' are flawed; cultivating this will ultimately turn you into top-tier material!"

"In my previous life, I was the powerful Accelerator. I have been reincarnated this time to make a difference, not to be an idiot."

"Actually, being an idiot isn't so bad; at least you're carefree."

"Damn it, who am I? Was I really reincarnated to make a name for myself?"

Why is my mind so foggy?

"I shouldn't have practiced the path of the idiot."

"But if I don't cultivate this, what should I cultivate? My memories—are blurry."

There are several spirits that resemble the tumor-like butterfly.

They are sometimes clear-headed, sometimes confused.

They always felt this was wrong, but they were powerless to break free.

However, as time went on, they also discovered other unusual spirits, and then they contacted each other, formed a secret society, and prepared to change the status quo.

Originally, these tumorous monsters' plans were progressing smoothly.

We are about to make great strides and change the status quo.

As a result, the throne returned.

When the tumor-like monsters of the secret society saw the royal power on the mulberry tree, they immediately wailed.

"Something's happened. The plan is off!"

"Let's wait until the Flower-Scattering Taoist leaves before we take action."

-----------------

Wang Quan inspected Stone City and found that its development had exceeded expectations, which pleased him greatly.

What pleased him even more was:

The 108,000 magical artifacts, with the help of the special manor built at the time, collected a large amount of materials from the Purple Mansion Realm.

Wang Quan collected some of the materials, and with the rest, he planned to forge some special magical artifacts.

Hmm... Create something for the emcee and the Dreamy Taoist nun, starting with changing their Foundation Establishment realm.

The two female cultivators were moved to tears upon hearing the news.

The emcee, a Taoist nun, muttered with a sigh, "It's only because you look down on me that I'm doing this. Otherwise, I would have let you have your fill of fun."

boom!

Wang Quan tapped her on the head: "Be serious, don't talk nonsense!"

Master of Ceremonies Taoist nun.........

The Dreamy Taoist Nun was more direct. She patted her chest and said, "From now on, I will definitely follow Brother Scattering Flowers' lead."

"I would brave mountains of knives and seas of fire, even unto death!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Quan laughed heartily: "There's no need for that."

"You can help me with some trivial matters."

"The rest need not be considered."

The master of ceremonies, a Taoist nun, smiled wryly: "We studied the Taoist scriptures and found that they contain no record of any methods for modifying the foundation of one's spiritual practice."

"I thought this was all there was to my life."

"But you want to defy fate for us."

Is it worth it?

Wang Quan laughed heartily: "There's no question of whether it's worth it or not."

"We're all friends, so helping each other is only natural!"

The master of ceremonies remained silent for a long time. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end, she only sighed and used magic to engrave the kindness of the king to her heart.
