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

That year, not only was Wang Quan preparing for the battle of magic in the far west, but Ruo Jinghong and others were also preparing.

Ying Jiaren, in the bitterly cold city far in the far north, is also making preparations.

Originally, she shared the same idea as Wang Quan: to use the magic treasure Zi Fu promised by that great figure back then to step into the Zi Fu realm.

However, upon learning that Wang Quan had reached the Purple Mansion Realm, she immediately gave up.

"If I were to reach his level, we would inevitably become rivals."

"And I can't compete with him."

"Instead of doing that, it's better to compete with others in the Foundation Establishment stage."

"It doesn't matter if we fail in the end."

"After all, there are many old fogies in the Foundation Establishment realm who have been cultivating in seclusion."

Although she hadn't reached the Purple Mansion Realm, she wasn't idle.

She focused more of her energy on Taoist soldiers.

Over the years, while Wang Quan was refining magical artifacts, she did not slow down the creation of the Daoist soldiers.

Now, she has refined and crafted the three thousand fire crows to a near-complete stage.

"I still need some martial artists."

"Top-tier martial artist".

There are a lot of top-tier martial artists in Bitter Cold City.

She said she needed three thousand top-tier martial artists, and then a whole bunch of martial artists came to apply.

Although everyone knows that joining the Daoist army will result in death and the dissipation of one's Daoist cultivation, it can earn a lot of money.

If this money were given to their descendants in their hometown, it could train at least a hundred top-tier martial artists and a dozen or so new cultivators.

They even gave it to a mindless monster.

In Ying Jiaren's eyes, this amount of money was nothing.

But in the eyes of these martial artists, it was a windfall.

Leaving aside the hundreds of top martial artists and the dozen or so new cultivators, the mere existence of a mindless monster is enough to drive all martial artists mad.

That's a spirit or monster!

Normally, a spirit can live for a thousand years.

This thousand-year period is enough for their family to be passed down for dozens of generations.

For generations, as long as people support this mindless monster, they can continuously produce monster excrement and blood.

While the excrement and blood of spirits are not top-tier medicines for martial artists, they are still considered superior secret medicines.

When practicing martial arts, a mouthful of fresh excrement can instantly boost efficiency.

Compared to the resources of top martial artists and new cultivators, this mindless monster, passed down for dozens of generations, is the most precious thing.

In just half a day, Ying Jiaren selected three thousand top martial artists.

These martial artists, both men and women, had reached the end of their martial arts journey.

They signed a contract with Ying Jiaren, obtained martial arts resources, some tokens customized by Ying Jiaren, and a brainwashed spirit.

Among them, the token is a new legal token used to join more than 700 left-wing lower courts such as the Drowning Path and the Great Sun Path.

It bears Ying Jiaren's mark and her hidden information about the Three Thousand Daoist Scriptures.

She actually hoped that the descendants of these top martial artists would learn about the profound mysteries of the Daoist scriptures through the information on these tokens, value the Daoist scriptures more, and follow the orthodox path of cultivation, rather than the new methods that had no future.

Whether their descendants can understand or perceive this is none of her concern.

This year, Yingjia people are working hard.

The geniuses and prodigies like Huanghun Daoren are also striving.

At this very moment, all the cultivators who decided to participate in the Western Battle of Magic are fighting hard.

They were afraid that if they wasted even a little time, they would lose a little more of their strength and thus fail in the battle.

Normal cultivators are striving, and abnormal cultivators are also striving.

Hmm... for example... Ma Qingqiu?

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

Underworld:

Ma Qingqiu, Menghu Daoren, and dozens of other Daoist practitioners gathered in a small town.

After many years apart, Ma Qingqiu and the others are just as they were back then.

Even their robes were exactly the same as they were back then.

However, everyone, including Ma Qingqiu, knew that they could never go back.

Because, ever since the incident involving the Vertical Eye, the Ninth Wheel King, and the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva occurred, they were infected and parasitized by the Vertical Eye.

Later, for various reasons, they decided to revive the [Vertical Eye].

Over the years, they went through some things, some people died, and then they finally came back to life [vertical eye].

At this moment, they formed a strange coexistence with the resurrected "Vertical Eye".

They had already reached the Purple Mansion Realm more than twenty years ago and had become even stronger.

Over the years, relying on the methods of the "vertical eye," they have already pushed their Purple Mansion to its limit.

Only then did they realize that they no longer possessed the fundamental method for achieving the Golden Core realm.

Although they still have Taoist scriptures, they can still glean some fundamental principles and techniques from them.

Those things are powerful, but they are not systematic and are not the Golden Core cultivation method.

Therefore, they discussed it a couple of years ago and prepared to return to the present world, find a city, and work on the next stage of their cultivation techniques.

As a result, just as everyone was preparing to take action, they also received the message from the "Far Western Battle".

Then Ma Qingqiu and the others slapped their foreheads and said, "Once we reach the Golden Core realm, we'll definitely be the weakest."

"Instead of this, it would be better to stay in the Purple Mansion Realm."

"Anyway, the items you can exchange at the Purple Mansion Realm are the same as those you can exchange at other realms."

"Moreover... the Purple Mansion Realm can exchange for more mysterious Dao Scriptures than other realms."

"By the way, does any of you know anything about the mysterious Taoist scriptures?"

Everyone shook their heads, indicating they didn't know what the thing was for.

"No matter how mysterious this thing is, we have to find a way to get a copy."

"This thing is even more expensive to exchange than the Yize Purple Mansion, it must be a really good item."

Ma Qingqiu sighed, "No matter how good the Taoist scriptures are, they're useless to us."

"If possible, I would like to exchange for a set of Relic Purple Mansion or a magic treasure Purple Mansion, and then replace the Purple Mansion in my body."

Upon hearing this, the Fierce Tiger Taoist and the others fell silent.

The reason they were able to enter the Purple Palace decades before the royal power was because of the "vertical eyes".

Their Purple Mansion is partly constructed from materials unique to the Underworld, partly from the flesh and blood of the [Vertical Eye], and only a small portion from materials from the Purple Mansion of the present world.

They were worried that the "Vertical Eye" was secretly controlling their cultivation through the Purple Mansion.

So I want to make a cut.

The reason everyone gathered at this time was because there was less than a year left in the battle between the Western and Eastern martial arts, so they came together to exchange ideas.

At the same time, we should also reprimand [the one with the vertical eye].

call!call!call!

Ma Qingqiu opened a box and spewed out streams of magical power that merged into it.

Click!

The box was opened, and a broken vertical eye flew out from it.

This mutilated, fist-sized creature with a vertical eye sprouted a mouth and roared:

"I have been imprisoned for a year, and today..."

Ma Qingqiu snorted coldly and imagined a whip lashing fiercely at it.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Six lashes in one breath.

The man with the missing vertical eye rolled on the ground, yelling, "Stop hitting me!"

"Stop hitting him!"

"I'm an honest person."

At this moment, the Fierce Tiger Taoist and his companions also opened their boxes and released their vertical eyes.

These vertical eyes are incomplete; some are only 30% complete, some are only 70% complete, and some are only 10%.

At this moment, Ma Qingqiu pointed at the broken vertical eye he had released and scolded, "You come and form a piece of coldness!"

The Fierce Tiger Taoist pointed to the broken vertical eye in front of him: "You come and form two parts of contempt!"

Another Daoist cultivator said, "You come and form three instances of nonchalance!"

"You form... twelve parts of pride..."

One by one, the Daoist cultivators spoke up, ordering the incomplete [vertical eye] to begin assembling.
