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

"【Sacrificial Spirit】?" Wang Quan asked curiously.

He looked at the large face and found that it was the size of a house, covered with countless human heads.

These heads looked like real people, so lifelike; but he quickly realized they were all fake.

Qian Xiuyue said proudly, "【Sacrificial Essence】was created by me after studying 20,000 volumes of Taoist scriptures, using the fundamental methods of sacrifice, and combining the techniques from a story in the 20,000th volume of Taoist scriptures."

"This thing has no independent thought, nor any other abilities."

"They only mechanically burn incense, burn their life force, and recite scriptures that are pre-imprinted in their blood."

"From birth to death, they never stop."

"The resources required for such a [Sacrifice Spirit] are equivalent to those required for one demon."

"However, their efficiency in worshipping the great sun is equivalent to that of ten thousand spirits."

"If you plant 10,000 [Sacrifice Spirits], it's equivalent to 100 million spirits offering sacrifices to the sun for you."

"What if we planted 100,000 or a million seedlings?"

"At that time, they will worship the sun during the day and the stars and moon at night."

"On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, they worship in all directions; on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, they worship in spring, summer, autumn, and winter."

"With these, given just a little time, the polar regions are far from lacking in resources."

"And you will become the greatest contributor to the polar pioneers."

Wang Quan listened with great enthusiasm: "That makes sense."

"So, how much of this do you have?"

Qian Xiuyue coughed: "This thing has a thousand good things about it, the only bad thing is that it's difficult to reproduce."

Wang Quan was taken aback: "What's so difficult about it?"

Qian Xiuyue sighed, "After this plant was created, it took a full year to multiply from one plant to one hundred."

"Moreover... their reproduction rate is getting slower and slower over time."

"More importantly—their reproduction method is quite unique."

Wang Quan: "How unique is it?"

Qian Xiuyue coughed and pointed to many things that looked like human heads, saying, "These things need the help of strong donkey spirits to reproduce."

Wang Quan looked at the monster with its large, round face, then at the donkey spirit, and exclaimed in bewilderment, "These aren't even the same species!"

"Can their combination produce new [Sacrificial Spirits]?"

Qian Xiuyue nodded vigorously:

"It took me a long time to figure it out before I accidentally discovered that donkey essence can help them reproduce."

"Otherwise, this thing would have been obsolete by us long ago."

"However, even with the help of the donkey spirit, it will take a long time to give birth to a [Sacrifice Spirit]."

"If they cannot continue to iterate on this basis, then it will take them three to five hundred years to expand to a scale of a thousand or eight hundred plants."

"Only when that time comes can we create a snowball effect and help solidify our polar foundation."

"And three to five hundred years is really nothing to us."

Wang Quan nodded upon hearing this: "Good stuff."

"But... I don't need it for the time being."

Over the years, although he has been refining magical artifacts, he has never stopped collecting materials to open up his Purple Mansion.

Now, the collection of materials for the Purple Mansion has reached a critical juncture.

After returning this time, he will focus on collecting materials for the Purple Mansion and then wait for eight to ten years before starting preparations to open the Purple Mansion.

He'll be too busy to pay attention to the [Sacrificial Spirit] at that time.

After all... with Qian Xiuyue and the Great Sun Alliance around, there will be even better [Sunflower Spirits] and spirits that worship the Great Sun in the future.

Instead of focusing our energy on these immature "sacrificial spirits" now, we should wait for the spirits to evolve through generations.

Wang Quan explained his thoughts.

Upon hearing this, Qian Xiuyue was quite depressed.

Wang Quan quickly realized what she was thinking and immediately smiled and comforted her, saying, "Don't worry."

"Once I open up my Purple Mansion, I'll give you my magic tool for collecting Purple Qi materials."

"Furthermore, I will have the entire Stone City and a city in the Underworld help me accumulate materials."

"In a hundred years or so, you will surely have enough materials to open your Purple Mansion."

Upon hearing this, Qian Xiuyue's eyes crinkled with joy: "Actually, I'm not in such a hurry."

Wang Quan blinked: "Really? If that's the case, I'll start gathering materials for the Master of Ceremonies and Dream."

Qian Xiuyue gritted her teeth: "Wang Quan... do you want me to roar?"

Royal power........

The two chatted for a while, and eventually the topic turned to the round-faced senior sister.

Qian Xiuyue said nonchalantly, "She came a few times a few years ago, and then took some of the latest iterations of the [Sunflower Essence] and [Big Face] Essence and left."

"Over the years, her family has sent caravans every year to purchase the latest generation of Sunflower Essence."

"It's just that her family situation isn't very good."

"I heard from her family that they encountered trouble in the second layer of the world."

"I also give her some sunshine every now and then."

"But...the situation doesn't seem to be getting better."

Upon hearing this, Wang Quan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Is it just trouble in the second layer of the world?"

"I thought there was trouble in the world!"

"The trouble in this second layer of the world is the easiest to solve."

Qian Xiuyue rolled her eyes, utterly disbelieving: "Evil is the most difficult to deal with."

"Although our solar output is increasing, the safety zone in the lower house is also getting bigger."

"However, everyone clearly feels that development has reached a bottleneck."

"We now inject massive amounts of sunlight every day, but the expansion of the safe zone in the second world is slowing down, and in some places it is even showing signs of stagnation or even regression."

"Now we are all working around the drowning lower house, creating safe zones on the surrounding hills, and then trying to connect them together."

"But...it's very difficult."

The larger the safe zone, the more and stronger the evil forces that will attack it.

Although the Lower House of Drowning has plenty of sunshine, it becomes increasingly difficult to cope with the overwhelming onslaught of evil.

As a result, Wang Quan said that the troubles in the second layer of the world were the simplest?

hehe.......

Before she could react, Wang Quan gave her the beacon of the current world's [Northern Underworld] city.

"There aren't many people left in this city. If you have the energy, take some men and take over the city."

"Then enter the corresponding second layer of the world and occupy the safe zone within."

"That safe zone has dozens of buildings, and its area is quite large."

Upon hearing the number of buildings, Qian Xiuyue immediately shook her head: "Too small."

"The Qinvshan safety zone alone now consists of over a thousand buildings."

"Besides, the place you mentioned is too far away; I don't have the energy to manage it."

Upon hearing this, Wang Quan did not insist further.

Now, he views the evil of the second layer of the mainland world as easily as an adult looking at a chick.

He even felt that with the [Seventy-Two Lamp], he could easily deal with even the evil of the second layer of the polar world.

What's more, he also has the [Dutian Banner].

"I'm going to see my senior sister."

Qian Xiuyue nodded: "Oh!"

"Oh, by the way, when you go, bring her a [Sacrifice Spirit]."

"Um!"
