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

Stone City hasn't changed much; it operates just as it did before the king left.

If we had to pinpoint any changes, it would simply be that there are now a few more people worshipping the sun, moon, and stars, as well as spirits, warriors, and new-style cultivators.

There were also a few more Daoist cultivators.

To the delight of the king, the number of tumor monsters also increased.

The world has not changed much, but the safe zone of the second layer of the world has expanded significantly.

With the help of his "Dutian Banner", Mei Niang and others took control of a building, which was then merged with the former three-story pavilion safe zone.

In the current second layer of security zone, the range of activities for many cultivators has expanded significantly.

During this period, relying on the [Dutian Banner], everyone has killed countless evil beings.

Finally, there is the underworld.

The Yin Mansion doesn't grow very large:

The number of monsters in City 95, which corresponds to Stone City, is many times greater than at its peak.

Countless ghosts and monsters came from all directions, through various channels.

Under the guidance of Ruo Jinghong and her Daoist partner Tongtong, a large number of ghosts and monsters are now worshipping the heavens and the four directions day and night, in accordance with the changing seasons such as spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Wang Quan was quite satisfied with this.

Through years of cultivation and crafting magical artifacts, Wang Quan discovered that worshipping the sun, moon, stars, and the four seasons was truly useful for cultivators like them.

Although the effects may not be obvious at first, as long as they continue to worship over time, the benefits they can obtain will be enormous.

More importantly:

Others spend their days and nights painstakingly worshipping, but they themselves reap the benefits.

The group briefly discussed the positive aspects, but there were also some negative things.

The master of ceremonies and the Dreamy Taoist nun said with great concern, "During this period of time, as Stone City continues to expand, the pressure we are under is increasing."

"The abnormal weather outside the city is constantly impacting Stone City."

"These past few days, Stone City has been almost unable to expand."

"Some city walls, under the onslaught of abnormal weather, are teetering on the brink of collapse."

"We have now built another wall behind the outermost city wall to serve as a second line of defense."

"We are worried that the outermost layer of the city wall will not be able to stop it."

Wang Quan pondered for a moment and then smiled, "There's no need to worry about that."

"If the abnormal weather intensifies, it proves that the intensity of the worship is not sufficient."

"Encourage all living beings to increase their offerings."

The master of ceremonies scratched his head: "Now, all living beings have to worship for ten hours every day."

"And they use only the highest quality sandalwood available today."

"How can we increase the intensity of the worship now?"

Without a second thought, Wang Quan casually remarked, "These people are either innate martial artists, new cultivators, or spirits with vigorous blood and energy."

"Ten hours of worship a day is a bit too little for them, so let them worship for twelve hours straight."

The emcee exclaimed in surprise, "Won't this be exhausting?"

Wang Quan shook his head: "No!"

"Have the Big and Small Drills arrange their logistics: feed them when they're hungry, and give them secret medicine when they're tired."

Tell them not to slack off.

"Besides... how can people not die when pioneering the polar regions?"

"We had the fewest deaths in Stone City."

"Right now, we just let them worship day and night. Although it's tiring and tough, it's still better than other places."

"As for the city... do not expand it for now."

"The key is to use the method of worship, without arrogance or impatience, to gradually wear down the abnormal weather."

The master of ceremonies, a Taoist nun, nodded: "Alright!"

Wang Quan then gave a few more instructions and looked at Ying Jiaren.

Ying Jiaren frowned and said, "The problem with City 95 right now is that too many ghosts and monsters are flooding in."

"These ghosts and monsters are of complex origin."

"Most of them are ghosts trying to make a living, and they make City 95 more prosperous."

"However, there are also some ghosts and monsters whose identities seem normal, but they always cause trouble in secret."

"Today they rob some ghosts of their gathered materials, tomorrow they destroy some ghosts' dwellings; or they incite some ghosts to form secret societies."

"These guys are causing trouble, making ghosts and monsters panic."

"Furthermore, I arranged for a ghost and spirit investigator named Crow Taoist to investigate, and he discovered that some ghosts and monsters seem to be related to the rebels."

"However, no matter how much we clean, it's never completely clean."

Wang Quan frowned.

He didn't know how to handle this situation.

Should we let him make the decision now?

Heh... he didn't know what to do either.

Fortunately, he had a special trick:

"Hmm...you handle this as you see fit."

Ruo Jinghong rolled her eyes: "I don't know what to do either, that's why I'm asking you for advice."

Wang Quan scratched his head: "I have an idea. Can you figure it out yourself?"

Like a fleeting glimpse of beauty...

Wang Quan sighed and looked at Meiniang and the others.

As a result, Meiniang and the others sighed, "We tried many methods, but we couldn't stop the small-scale disturbances in the Underworld."

"Those rebel monsters are too infiltrated and seductive."

"We even used the [Capital Banner] to clear out one-thousandth of the ghosts in City 95."

"However, we still couldn't stop this insidious trouble."

Wang Quan sighed, "Your killings are useless, so naturally I can't think of a good solution either."

Ruo Jinghong sighed, "I don't understand why those rebels are so fixated on City 95?"

"Could it be that this city is hiding secrets we are unaware of?"

Wang Quan thought for a moment and explained the importance of City No. 95 in the 95th Ring Road.

Upon hearing this, Ruo Jinghong suddenly realized: "That's right, if the rebels want to occupy the 95th ring, they must control the 95th city."

"Now I know what to do."

Wang Quan asked curiously, "So, how do you plan to deal with the infiltrated rebels?"

Ruo Jinghong laughed: "Join them!"

Wang Quan: "Huh?"

"Joining the rebels? Really?"

Ruo Jinghong laughed: "Of course it's fake."

"I want to use City 95 as an opportunity to infiltrate the rebels, then dismantle them from within and cut off their roots."

"Do you think this is feasible?"

Wang Quan thought for a moment: "It doesn't matter!"

"Do whatever you want."

"If I mess this up, I'll summon the [Sky Patrol Treasure] to clean up the mess."

Like a fleeting glimpse of beauty...

Everyone.......

After a moment, Wang Quan looked at Meiniang: "There shouldn't be any special trouble in the second layer of the world, right?"

Mei Niang chuckled, "No trouble at all!"

"With your [Dutian Banner] around, the evil in the second layer of the polar world is even weaker than the evil in the mainland."

"We can manipulate them however we want."

"There are many evil forces around the safe zone now, and many are willing to cooperate with us, form alliances, or even join us."

Wang Quan was bewildered: "Evil has allied with us? Joined us?"

Why?

Mei Niang rolled her eyes and said, "Fellow Daoist, your magic weapon is terrifying, but I am not without my own abilities."

"My personally crafted 'Loving Family' may not be as effective at killing as your magical artifact, but its influence far surpasses that of the artifact."

Wang Quan asked curiously, "So, what exactly does 'A Loving Family' do?"

Mei Niang smiled, proudly puffing out her chest: "Of course, it's an organization that breaks down racial barriers and spreads love!"
