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

Going on and on:

After traveling for seven or eight days, Wang Quan's troops ran out of food.

The monsters pulling the cart were secretly delighted, because with the cart being easier, the oxen and horses were naturally more relaxed as well.

However, Wang Quan and the others were quite worried: "Without food supplies, we cannot improve our cultivation."

This period of history should only last ten years.

Within ten years, they must raise their strength to a certain level before they will have a chance to kill Liu Yong.

If we fail, we will either die or have to repeat the next decade.

They did not want to die or perish, nor did they want to endlessly repeat the same period of time.

Therefore, everyone seizes every opportunity to improve their cultivation.

Food supplies were of paramount importance to them.

"There is still a surplus of ordinary grains, the only thing that is lacking is flesh and blood."

"We need high-quality flesh and blood."

"Then, according to the plan, let's go hunting and harvesting flesh in the mountains."

Wang Quan and others had already prepared for this.

At this moment, they were all fully armed, carrying heavy weapons such as spears, hammers, and double-handed swords, and charged into the mountains to begin their hunt.

Within the territory of the Great Shang Dynasty, there are many monsters.

On any mountain peak, there are monsters who rule as kings, eating meat and drinking wine to their hearts' content, living a carefree life.

Many demons also saw the new army where the Purple-Clad Marquis and Wang Quan were. Seeing that the new army's banner did not belong to the logistics department, they were quite relieved.

Originally, many monsters planned to continue robbing travelers and raising humans after Wang Quan and his group passed by, living a law-abiding life.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Quan and his men arrived before them.

"You two-legged creatures, we keep to ourselves, what are you doing on our mountain?"

The Purple-Clad Marquis looked at Wang Quan, who smiled and said, "Gentlemen, we are about to undertake a major task, but this task requires the support of provisions."

"Unfortunately, we are running out of food supplies. We hope that you will donate some to help us get through this difficult time."

Upon hearing this, the monsters flew into a rage: "Two-legged beasts, you are not grain transporters, and this is not the season for harvesting grain."

"Why should we donate food supplies?"

"Do they really think we're easy to bully?"

Wang Quan frowned: "Everyone, you must prioritize the overall situation."

The monsters were enraged: "What nonsense! Brothers, let's attack together and kill them!"

Whoosh!

A group of monsters, wielding stone hammers, stone axes, stone spears, and large clubs, charged forward with howling cries.

Wang Quan and others were furious: "They don't understand the bigger picture, they don't know what's good for them—they deserve to be cut off!"

boom!

The two sides collided.

Upon the moment of contact, Wang Quan discovered that these monsters were exceptionally powerful, having reached the Foundation Establishment stage of [Life Cultivation].

Although they are strong, their fundamental techniques and moves are crude.

Wang Quan and others were the best of the best, the most selective of the best.

Although his strength had not yet reached the Foundation Establishment stage, he was clad in fine iron armor and wielded sharp weapons, and for a time he fought these monsters to a standstill.

Moreover, as time went on, the formidable foundation of Wang Quan and his fellow cultivators became apparent.

boom!

Wang Quan wielded a large club and struck a deer between its legs, causing the deer to kneel on the ground, howling and rolling around.

With the next breath, Wang Quan leaped and landed behind a black bear demon, striking it directly on the back of the head with his staff.

boom!

The giant club exploded, and the black bear demon, relying on its rebellious nature, only needed to shake its head a few times to regain its senses.

He growled and looked at Wang Quan: "You little flower-sprinkling rascal, how dare you ambush your Grandpa Bear?"

"Grandpa, I want to dig out your heart and liver and heat them up to drink as wine."

He turned and lunged at Wang Quan, only to have the monk who had initially fought him shake his spear and thrust it directly into his chrysanthemum.

Awoo!

The black bear demon screamed and turned to pounce on the cultivator who had launched the sneak attack.

Wang Quan seized the opportunity to jump on his head and then began to whip his head repeatedly.

boom! boom! boom!

After a frenzied beating, the black bear demon bled from all seven orifices, swayed a few times, and collapsed to the ground.

Although the cultivators who engage in combat may not all be proficient in [life cultivation] techniques, they are definitely much more powerful than these monsters.

Although none of them cultivated the fundamental methods of the present world's timeline, and they all used the methods from this historical fragment, after a brief clash and adaptation, they quickly defeated the group of monsters, leaving them howling in agony.

Among them, the Purple-Clad Marquis was the most ferocious. Using the same fundamental technique, he flew with his fists and feet, his blood surging, transforming into twelve great demons, killing with the most ferocity.

The monsters that fought him either had their heads smashed or had their spines pulled out.

In the shortest time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the monsters on this mountain were defeated.

Pack up the loot:

Dead monsters are put on carts by cattle and horses: they are skinned and bled, and their flesh is divided into lean meat, fatty meat, large bones, and offal.

For those that aren't dead, just find some vines, put them around their necks, and hang them up, then wait to eat them fresh.

The cattle, horses, and local cooks lit stoves and cooked meals directly on the mountain.

Wang Quan and the others gathered together to discuss the battle they had just fought, summarizing their experiences and sharing their insights.

Everyone chimed in, summarizing the shortcomings and highlighting the strengths, preparing for the next harvest.

After everyone had finished speaking, the Purple-Clad Marquis suddenly said, "There are many spirits and monsters around us. Although the cultivation methods of this era are crude, the speed of improvement is very fast."

"Why don't we raise our cultivation to the Foundation Establishment Realm in one go, and then go to Zijin Pass?"

"Once we reach Zijin Pass, with our strength, perhaps we can reach an even higher level."

"If we encounter other cultivators who are fighting, we can rely on our cultivation level to force them to join our team."

"If we encounter a target in the future and we are no match for him in a one-on-one fight, we will directly mobilize a large army to launch an attack."

"At the peak of the Purple Mansion Realm, he can kill hundreds or thousands, even hundreds of thousands, or millions?"

Everyone nodded in agreement, showing their approval of the Purple-Clad Marquis's plan.

Wang Quan said, "These past few days I have been studying the practices of this era and have found some connections that can be linked to our fundamental principles."

Upon hearing this, all the cultivators were stunned.

The Purple-Clad Marquis was even more surprised.

During this time, he was also studying the fundamental laws of this era, trying to connect them with the fundamental laws of the present world, and then use the fundamental laws of the present world to quickly improve his cultivation without being detected by the cultivators of this era.

As a result, even this prodigy who possessed more than 50,000 volumes of Daoist scriptures failed to comprehend it, while Wang Quan, this unorthodox cultivator, did.

"It seems that cultivators with legendary status have extraordinary foundations."

"Could it be that his Daoist understanding is at a higher level than mine? If not, how could he have found the connection between the two before me?"

At this moment, the Purple-Clad Marquis valued royal power even more.

The reason why Wang Quan was able to comprehend the fundamental laws of the two eras in less than ten days was not because of his more than 40,000 volumes of Taoist scriptures, nor because of his own wisdom.

The reason he was able to comprehend it was purely because of the "Ghostly Talk on the Transformation of Mountains and Rivers".

This passage discusses changes in thoughts, spirit, and other aspects.

However, after comprehending the fundamental law in this history, he discovered that the traces of this fundamental law could be found in the "Ghostly Talk on the Transformation of Mountains and Rivers".

Only then did he gain some insight and become able to connect the fundamental laws of the two eras.

Many cultivators, with mixed feelings, sought advice from Wang Quan on the methods of connecting the dots in his comprehension.

This method seems simple: it's nothing more than using the internal organs, even the flesh and bones, of creatures of this era to cultivate.

However, the core techniques are merely superficial methods from the "Ghostly Talk of the Divine Travels Through Mountains and Rivers".

After a short while, everyone mastered the new method and couldn't wait to open their hearts to the monsters.

"Demon, I need your help in my cultivation!"

Click!

The cultivator pried open the monster's chest, pulled out its internal organs, and spat out mouthfuls of essence blood to refine them, using them as an external cheat.

The demon Tao Tao cried out, "We are just mountain kings who raise some two-legged beasts for food. We live a quiet and honest life behind closed doors. We are pure and good demons."

"You are the monsters, you are the beasts!"
