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

ten years!

Wang Quan discussed the matter with Ruo Jinghong, Meiniang, and the other first batch of Daoist cultivators who came to Stone City. They finally decided to spend ten years building their foundation and improving their cultivation.

Ten years later, regardless of one's foundation or level of attainment, one must simultaneously connect to the third world and the second underworld.

As for whether it will ultimately succeed, Wang Quan does not consider it.

Ruo Jinghong and the others also did not consider it.

Because they always have to try.

If these two places can be successfully linked, it will be of great importance, both to the authority of the monarchy and to the escape route for Stone City and its inhabitants.

If the real world truly collapses, everyone can go to the first or second level of the underworld, or to the second or third level of the world to take refuge and survive.

The black bird flies and the rabbit runs:

A year has passed...

Stone City is teeming with little kids and sprites crawling and running around everywhere.

Fairy Qin personally led a group of female cultivators to take care of him.

Fairy Qin and the others were skilled at serving people, so there was no fear of problems arising when they took care of them.

These female practitioners often lecture the younger generation on Taoist scriptures and share common knowledge about cultivation.

They even used magic to draw upon the spiritual energy from the mouths of the new cultivators, giving the new generation a thorough cleansing and refining from the inside out, tempering their physical and mental foundation from a young age.

These newborns, refined by spiritual energy, are much stronger than ordinary babies.

It's just that the orthodox cultivators are too capable, especially some Daoist cultivators who are addicted to using Purple Palace externally—they need to use a thousand or eight hundred externally every day to satisfy their cravings.

Suddenly, there was a bit too many little brats in Stone City.

Fairy Qin and the others couldn't hold on any longer, so they went to find Wang Quan under the Fire Mulberry Tree.

When she arrived at the mulberry tree, she was stunned.

The Fire Mulberry Tree before us is now hundreds of feet tall: countless rays of sunlight fall from the sky, are transformed by the leaves, and become millions of flames, drifting to the newly upgraded [Sunflower Spirit] in the distance.

One gourdful after another, the refined sunlight fell.

Numerous spirits and warriors collected the gourds and stored them in their treasure pouches.

One-third of them were stored in the Stone City warehouse.

One-third was given to Ruo Jinghong, Meiniang, and others.

The last third all belonged to the royal family.

On the mulberry tree, Wang Quan, dressed in white, sat upright.

He transformed into a three-headed, six-armed being: with two hundred thousand pairs of kidneys and tens of thousands of crystal brains hanging behind him, as well as hundreds of thousands of internal organs, and even blood vessels and skeletons.

From a distance, the billowing black smoke was quite a sight.

He formed hand seals, simply casting various spells and sensing their profound mysteries.

They use their hands to knead and expend massive amounts of materials to refine various physical thunder and fire.

They have hands that can condense various types of drowning.

Some people were shaking their heads and chanting Taoist scriptures.

Some heads spew out streams of magical power, refining escape lights, substitution techniques, and so on.

It has a brain that can chant incantations, adjust various buildings within the Purple Mansion, produce various resources, and control external cheats for cultivation.

Fire mulberry flowers floated around him, and as he inhaled and exhaled magical power and practiced spells, some of the fire mulberry flowers gained intelligence and became flower fairies.

Flower fairies are born with common sense about cultivation.

First, they worshipped the royal authority. Then, some of the flower fairies carried the leaves of the fire mulberry tree, rubbed them together, and made sandalwood. They then placed the sandalwood on the branches and leaves of the fire mulberry tree to worship the four directions, the sun, moon, stars, spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

Some flower fairies made small whips from fire mulberry leaves, which then flew around to herd silkworms.

The silkworms munched on the leaves and then spun silk.

Whenever they ate less, the flower fairies would go up and whip them, yelling, "Eat up!"

"Only by eating more can we repay the master's kindness!"

One of the silkworms blinked, tears streaming down its face, and said, "I really can't eat anymore."

"Look, I've gotten so fat, the strands I spit out have gotten thicker."

"If I fail the inspection, they will drag me out of the Emperor's Banner and whip me."

"Let me rest for a bit, and lose some weight, okay?"

The flower fairies were bewildered and didn't know what to do.

The silkworms were secretly pleased with themselves, and then took the opportunity to lie on the mulberry leaves, cross their legs, and bask in the sun.

They wanted to enjoy the sunshine before they died.

After all, after death, one must go to the dark and sunless Emperor's Banner to refine Yin Silk. At that time, only the model worker will be qualified to come out and bask in the sun.

They were self-aware enough to know that being a model worker after death had nothing to do with them.

That's why I wanted to be lazy and enjoy myself before I died.

The flower fairies were quite helpless. Most of them could only stand there with their hands on their hips and puff out their cheeks in anger. A few of the fairies were clever. They mashed up mulberry leaves and forcibly fed them to the silkworms.

Fairy Qin looked at the silkworms with considerable envy.

However, she quickly regained her composure, stomped her foot, and then pink clouds rose from beneath her feet, carrying her to Wang Quan's side: "Fellow Daoist, we have more children than we have manpower."

"Could you please reduce the number of Daoist cultivators who have children?"

"There was a male cultivator who reproduced seventy to eighty thousand spirits and humans every day."

"We simply can't take care of everyone."

On the mulberry tree, Wang Quan spoke with a head raised, saying with exasperation, "Fairy Qin, the child is now the foundation of Stone City."

"We absolutely must not dampen everyone's enthusiasm for reproduction."

"If you need someone to take care of you, then find someone yourself!"

Fairy Qin blinked: "I also want to recruit people, but Stone City is now rich in resources and money is easy to make. Many female cultivators are no longer willing to serve others. My team has not only failed to grow, but is also declining."

"Moreover, Fellow Daoist Meiniang has better skills, is more adventurous, and has a more professional team to serve people."

"I... I really have no other choice."

Wang Quan was bewildered.

Damn it, it's just taking care of a bunch of little brats, what does that have to do with being good at the game or having fun?

What the hell is this brain circuitry?

He wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed: "Cultivators are hard to find, so we'll look for female warriors, or even male warriors, or spirits."

"Anyway, it's up to you."

"Don't bother me with such trivial matters."

"I'm giving you the authority; you hire people yourself!"

Upon hearing this, Fairy Qin beamed with delight: "Great!"

She came here hoping that Wang Quan could use his authority to allocate more manpower to take care of the children.

As a result, the king granted her the authority directly.

"From now on, I'm a big shot!"

Fairy Qin was pleased.

Humming a little tune, she rode on pink clouds and headed straight for the city center.

"I need to recruit people!"

She first used her privileges to contact many female martial artists.

"From now on, you will all be helping me take care of the children."

The female warriors were delighted.

Taking care of children, though troublesome, is still easier than the labor of worshipping in all directions day and night and pouring out one's heart and soul.

"Come on, let's go to training first!"

Qin Xianzi led several thousand female warriors straight to the [Pure and Immaculate] Manor.

The female warriors arrived, completely bewildered: "Fairy Qin, weren't we supposed to be taking care of the child?"

Why did you come to this place?

Fairy Qin said smugly, "Here I can learn how to serve both people and spirits!"

"If you learn how to serve adults and spirits here, serving children will be a piece of cake from now on, won't it?"

The female warriors felt that this made sense, but there wasn't much of it.

However, they dared not resist and could only accept their fate.

Fairy Qin comforted them, "Don't look so aggrieved."

"Those who come here are all strong and healthy men, who can bring you pleasure."

"I will then teach you the skills related to the love of union, so that you can enjoy them, learn skills, and improve your strength."

"A triple win."

"Alright, everyone, smile."

"Everyone, study hard. In the future, we will definitely surpass Meiniang's gang and become the most outstanding and best-serving team in Stone City."

"To become an indispensable part of Stone City."

"come on!"

"oh!"
