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

A Daoist Golden Core cultivator is asking me for help?

Wang Quan was taken aback: "What is it?"

"Don't even mention fighting with others; you can't even handle a Golden Core cultivator, let alone me."

Beitang Xue rolled her eyes: "You have countless underlings."

"Don't even mention Golden Core cultivators, you can handle even a stubborn Nascent Soul cultivator."

Wang Quan chuckled lightly: "Even a true Golden Core cultivator could easily escape."

"If a Daoist at the Nascent Soul realm wants to leave, no amount of people can stop them."

"A large number of people does not necessarily mean high combat strength."

"Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

Beitang Xue chuckled a few times: "We want to use your cloud pillar to forge some magical treasures."

Wang Quan blinked, looking completely bewildered.

He could understand these words if they were taken out of context.

But when they're put together, he really doesn't understand.

"Cloud pillar? When did I have a cloud pillar?"

Beitang Xue pointed to a massive cloud pillar not far away that connected several worlds and said, "This cloud pillar!"

Wang Quan: "This one?"

"Um!"

Beitang Xue said excitedly, "I studied the cloud pillar a few days ago."

"This cloud pillar seems to only have the ability to enhance one's foundation and improve one's bloodline."

"However, his greatest use is actually in crafting magical artifacts."

Wang Quan asked, puzzled, "I don't understand."

Beitang Xue didn't hide anything and quickly said, "This cloud pillar traverses five worlds, causing time and space to constantly change."

"Although the changes are extremely subtle, they are of great help in refining magical artifacts."

"According to our estimates, the cloud pillar can reduce the crafting time of magical artifacts by one-fifth."

A genuine magical artifact almost always takes at least five hundred years to forge.

If the refining time can be shortened by a hundred years, it would be very worthwhile.

If it is a high-level magic weapon, it can shorten the time by a thousand years or even ten thousand years.

Wang Quan looked at the cloud pillar, then at Beitang Xue: "How many magical treasures can this cloud pillar refine at the same time?"

Beitang Xue pondered for a moment: "Ten items."

Wang Quan thought for a moment: "How many pieces do you want to forge?"

Beitang Xue hesitated for a moment before saying, "Five items."

Wang Quan was taken aback: "Why not forge ten pieces?"

"Since we're going to spend the same amount of time crafting magical artifacts anyway, wouldn't it be better to craft more at once?"

Beitang Xue's lips twitched: "We don't have the resources!"

Wang Quan was dumbfounded: "You are all Daoist Golden Core cultivators, each possessing magical treasures, yet you lack the resources to refine new ones?"

Beitang Xue looked at him with a complicated expression: "Fellow Daoist Sahua, do you think everyone has as many followers as you?"

"Although we are Daoist Golden Core cultivators, we already owed the sect a lot of resources back then in order to forge our Golden Cores."

"Over the years, we've only managed to pay off about 70-80% of our debts."

"The magical artifacts we're creating now are also cobbled together by everyone."

"Once the magical artifacts are forged, everyone will control them together."

Wang Quan exclaimed in astonishment, "You're so poor!"

Beitang Xue rolled her eyes: "You think everyone is like you, controlling a city?"

"No, you also control a city in the Underworld."

"Countless spirits, ghosts, and cultivators are now crafting resources for you."

"No matter how extraordinary our methods or how great our abilities, we can't compare to you."

Wang Quan laughed: "As Daoist Golden Core cultivators, you can also come to the Arctic and take control of a city."

Beitang Xue shook her head: "It's not that easy."

"In the entire polar region, only you and three other cultivators control a city."

"The other cities are all controlled by the [World Dao Court]."

"Although we are Daoist Golden Core cultivators, if we go to the extreme regions, we will only be high-level cannon fodder."

"To take control of a city, one must make extraordinary contributions and seize extraordinary opportunities."

There are differences between different Daoist scripts.

Upon hearing this, Wang Quan suddenly realized the truth.

The reason he was able to control the cities of the Underworld and Stone City was because of a series of heaven-defying methods.

If it weren't for those extraordinary methods, he really wouldn't have been able to obtain the authority to control these cities.

After some thought, he stopped wandering off and said, "Well, from now on, you'll use the cloud pillars to craft magical artifacts!"

Beitang Xue's eyes darted around: "You can also send over the magical artifacts you're currently refining, and we'll take care of them for you."

Wang Quan shook his head: "No need!"

"Stone City is currently producing over a thousand Tier 1 magic weapons simultaneously."

Whether three or five items are generated earlier or later will not have a significant impact on Stone City.

Upon hearing this, Beitang Xue's feelings were complicated: "We worked hard for a long time to refine five magical treasures."

"You guys... started with thousands of items."

"This difference..."

Wang Quan Aotou: "At the beginning, we only made ten or eight pieces."

"It only increased slowly over time."

"Moreover, we only refine first-tier magic weapons."

Beitang Xue sighed, "It's quite remarkable that you can refine so many first-tier magic treasures without relying on a sect."

"Moreover, the magic weapon we refined was also a first-tier magic weapon."

She sounded quite frustrated.

Wang Quan didn't know what to say, so he simply exchanged pleasantries and prepared to begin his cultivation.

Then Beitang Xue added, "By the way, Fellow Daoist Sanhua, I have a disciple who hangs out in the Imperial Tomb City in the far west."

"He wrote to me a few days ago saying that he has already established himself in the 11th Ring Road area and invited me to come and enjoy a life of luxury."

"They even told me to go back and act like a tyrant, to be high and mighty."

Wang Quan laughed: "Isn't this great?"

"Your apprentice has learned to be filial."

"From now on, you can just sit back and enjoy your retirement!"

Beitang Xue shook her head: "I know what skills that disciple has."

"It's not that I look down on him, but if he were to act like a tyrant in a remote, impoverished area, oppressing the locals, I could still believe him."

"But it's not normal for him to act so arrogantly in the major cities of the underworld."

"So... Fellow Daoist, since you have some underlings in the Underworld, could you arrange for some of them to check on his situation?"

"Should we check if he has hysteria?"

"I have heard that hysteria is rampant in the far west, and there are many hysterical monks."

"My apprentice is also from the far west; he's probably suffering from hysteria."

"Send a ghost to go and check on him. If he has hysteria, bring him back."

Beitang Xue was still worried about her own apprentice.

Upon hearing this, Wang Quan nodded without hesitation: "It's a small matter."

"I'll send two ghosts and spirits over to take a look."

Upon hearing this, Beitang Xue was extremely grateful: "Thank you, fellow Daoist."

Although she was a Daoist Golden Core cultivator, after learning about the Emperor's Tomb City, she really didn't dare to go to the eleventh ring of the city.

They were terrified of being devoured by some ghost or spirit.

It should be noted that Golden Core cultivators are considered a form of hard currency in the Underworld.

In many prosperous cities, when people hold banquets and eat noodles, they will try every means to catch some golden pills as a top-grade delicacy.

In large places like the Imperial Tomb City and the Eleventh Ring Road, Golden Elixir is served like a feast.

If she goes to the 11th Ring Road, she'll probably be used as a meal halfway there.

That's why she wanted Wang Quan to send a ghost to check on the situation.

To her surprise, Wang Quan immediately suggested sending ghosts and spirits over.

That's way too much... self-importance.

At this moment, Beitang Xue felt extremely grateful to Wang Quan.
