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

Back then, when the lower house was drowning, Wang Quan was curious as to why so many people chose the new law.

Although the new method allows for the practice of magic, it has too many drawbacks.

He didn't even know where to begin.

In his view, the new cultivators were nothing more than a bunch of high-quality leeks to be harvested.

He didn't understand why everyone was scrambling to become the "leeks" (a metaphor for being exploited or taken advantage of).

Later, when he went to the far west, he heard from the master of ceremonies and others that the casualty rate of those new cultivators in the far west was really, really high.

In the far west, those who can survive for two or three days are considered lucky, they are old people.

Later, he caused trouble in Stone City and changed his expansion goals, which allowed the new cultivators and spirits to survive.

Those cultivators using the new methods are actually just as weak as spirits and monsters.

So weak that he felt:

If he wanted to, he could kill any so-called Foundation Establishment Ancestor with a single spell.

The round-faced Taoist nun laughed: "Studying Taoist scriptures is tiring and consumes a lot of resources."

"A true Qi Refining Realm cultivator who can enter and exit the second layer of the world in his physical form can use the resources to cultivate at least five hundred new Foundation Establishment Ancestors."

"The resources consumed by a legitimate Foundation Establishment cultivator are enough to cultivate three to five hundred so-called Golden Core Ancestors using the new method."

"The new law has many shortcomings."

"However, once they reach the Golden Core stage, their combat strength is almost the same as that of a traditional Foundation Establishment cultivator."

"What's even more interesting is that the Golden Core Ancestor in the new method only has a lifespan of eight hundred years!"

"It takes eight hundred years to obtain the corpse of a Golden Core cultivator."

"Although this Golden Core corpse may not have been able to refine artifacts, set up rituals, or create special magic power in its lifetime, it only mastered a few dozen, or even just a dozen or so, spells."

"However, their corpses were still at the Golden Core level."

"It takes eight hundred years to harvest a Golden Core level corpse."

"This is hundreds of times more efficient than when we were harvesting orthodox cultivators before."

Upon hearing this, Wang Quan suddenly realized the truth.

The new method of Golden Elixir Master consumes fewer resources and produces results faster.

Naturally, some people will be willing to promote it.

Moreover... many people genuinely want to cultivate immortality, but they wouldn't be unwilling to read Taoist scriptures.

For those practitioners of the new methods who do not need Taoist scriptures, this is their lifeline.

When the topic of the new cultivators came up, the round-faced Daoist nun spoke at length.

she says:

"From now on, my family will also train new cultivators!"

"Thirty-six kinds of spiritual roots, one team for each kind."

"From now on, these new monks will be our family's shield, spear, and building blocks."

"I will use a secret method to plant a bloodline curse in them, so that they can establish a family and their descendants can serve our family for generations to come."

"I also need to plan their immigration status."

"Some families specialize in practicing various arts, some in magical combat, and some in rituals, etc."

The round-faced Taoist nun was full of dreams for the future.

Wang Quan found it interesting and, in his spare time, he worked with her to design the plan.

As for whether the round-faced Taoist nun could ultimately achieve her goal, he didn't really care at all.

one day.....

Five days...

Ten days........

Time is up.

Wang Quan did not wait for the Golden Core cultivators from the [Western Pole] family, nor did he witness their slaughter.

At that moment, he knew that the [Western Pole] family was completely finished.

"I thought they would have the courage to make a move and test the waters."

"I never expected...they would be so cowardly!"

The fact that the other party dared not attack the round-faced Taoist nun's family, nor dared to attack him, was enough to prove that they still wanted him to let them go.

But... is that even possible?

"I gave them a chance."

"I displayed my magical weapons and swift and decisive methods, simply to ask them about the anomalies and the [Taiyi] behind them, but they made all sorts of excuses."

Even now, as they are about to set foot in the polar regions and die, they still refuse to tell me more about [Taiyi].

"They...they're courting death!"

After leaving the gifts prepared by Qian Xiuyue and the resources provided by the [West Pole] family for his round-faced senior sister, Wang Quan drifted away and returned to the Drowning Lower Courtyard.

After he left, the round-faced senior sister looked at the large face covered with heads and remained silent for a long time.

"When I was in the lower house after the drowning incident, I wouldn't say I was living a life of unparalleled glory, but I was definitely doing better than Qian Xiuyue."

"Now... she's a thousand times better than me."

"I'm not reconciled!"

"I can't be worse than her."

"Otherwise, it would be too awkward if we met again!"

She arranged for family members to cultivate large-faced plants, and then, with the help of the abundant resources left by the royal family, she rapidly expanded the family's fortunes.

Following the plan she had discussed with the royal authority in recent days, she assembled thirty-six new law teams within a single month.

These thirty-six new law teams were further divided into eight departments by her, referred to as the Eight Departments.

These eight groups have a clear division of labor, some cultivating their physical bodies and others their spiritual souls, serving as top-tier talents.

There are specialists who refine magical artifacts, cultivate medicinal herbs, and draw talismans.

There are those who specialize in practicing killing magic to fight against others.

There are also those who specialize in practicing magic such as construction, exorcism, and warding off evil.

There are eight departments with clearly defined responsibilities.

The round-faced senior sister thought it was good and was in a good mood: "Give me just a little time, and my family will definitely grow stronger."

"Moreover, among the resources left behind by the king this time, there are also some Purple Mansion resources."

"Although these resources are not many, they are enough for me to build a standard Purple Mansion."

"After I open up the Purple Palace, I will build more Purple Palaces and nurture many offspring."

"When the time comes, I'll choose a young and beautiful descendant to possess, and then repay him properly."

Drowning and subsequent discharge:

Whether it's the former family, the alliance, or Qian Xiuyue, everyone is very busy.

Every day, they hybridize various sunflower spirits, creating new fairies and producing more sunlight.

Everyone was busy. Wang Quan didn't understand hybrid spirits, so he sat upright on the fire mulberry tree and continued to study Taoist scriptures, comprehend magic, and use methods such as "the emperor said he looked down on the eight directions of the heavens."

What he found interesting was:

The mulberry trees that Qian Xiuyue and the others managed were very different from the mulberry trees that he and Ying Jiaren had.

Qian Xiuyue and her group planted 3,000 mulberry trees. After many years of propagation, there are now at least 80,000, if not 100,000.

Although these fire mulberry trees can also refine sunlight, their efficiency is far less than that of him and Ying Jiaren.

Some spirits who love fire like to cultivate themselves under the fire mulberry tree.

They absorb sunlight and help with the refining process, thereby gaining some benefits.

Wang Quan studied the fire mulberry trees here and found that they were not as mysterious and strange as the fire mulberry trees he had encountered.

"Was it because too many cuttings were taken initially?"

"Is it because of different growing environments that the final results are different?"

These days, in addition to observing the fire mulberry tree, he also observes the drowning lower courtyard.

The drowning incident at the lower house has resulted in numerous deaths due to the presence of wiring.

Whether they are spirits or humans, there are dozens of times more of them than in his time.

Among them, the number of cultivators using the new method has increased nearly a hundredfold.

Moreover, he discovered that the conflict between the new cultivators and the orthodox cultivators in this drowning lower academy had not diminished due to the benefits of refining the sun and passing down the [Sunflower Essence], but was actually more serious than before.

Even within the Great Sun Alliance established by Qian Xiuyue and her group, there was a struggle between orthodox and new methods.
