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

This was the first time Wang Quan had ridden on auspicious clouds.

These auspicious clouds feel soft and comfortable to step on.

Moreover, auspicious clouds can conjure up things like tables, chairs, benches, soft couches, and swimming pools according to the owner's wishes.

The master of ceremonies, a Taoist nun, sat regally on a soft couch, while the Dreamy Taoist nun was less particular and simply sat on auspicious clouds.

Wang Quan stood there, looking down at the mountains below, reflecting the principles of feng shui and geomantic techniques.

After watching for a while, he patted the box, and a large bird flew out of it.

He jumped onto the big bird, and the bird carried him down.

He ran around on the ground, observing the mountain roads and waterways.

After walking for a while, a thought struck him, and he patted the box.

This time, two paper figures flew out of the box and transformed into bald, muscular men who lifted a sedan chair.

Wang Quan sat on it, quite comfortably.

After walking for a while, he remembered a movie he had seen in his previous life.

Then, with a slap of the box, four more scallions were released—no, four beautiful palace maids.

The palace maids were delicate and charming, their every smile and frown just like the real people.

They carried flower baskets and scattered flower petals.

"That's more like it!"

If they've cultivated immortality, how can they still walk on their own?

Even without auspicious clouds, someone must be found to carry it.

Hmm... Although it's a paper doll, because of his exquisite magic and his ability to analyze corpses, his paper doll is incredibly lifelike, and it even sheds paper scraps when it's injured.

At this moment, the Taoist nun in charge of the ceremony on the auspicious cloud saw this and jumped down, saying, "Get me one."

"I want to be carried, I want to act arrogantly and bully others."

The ethereal Taoist nun also joined in the fun: "Me too!"

soon:

The two Taoist nuns also sat on the paper figure sedan chair.

A little while later, the king arranged for them to scatter flowers.

After a while, two people carrying flags and banging gongs appeared in front of them.

There were also people holding signs that read "Silence" and "Avoidance".

Several burly, menacing men were also stationed behind them, armed with swords and shields to hold the rear.

"Arrange a few more musicians to accompany you."

"I'm out of magic!"

"You only have thirty strands of magical power?"

"Um....."

"It seems you haven't been practicing magic for very long; you're still quite young!"

"Young people should travel more. You've made those paper figures into something with music and fanfare; it'll make it look more lively."

"Master of Ceremonies, I need to observe the feng shui and earth veins in peace. Please do not disturb me any further."

The paper figures are all grandmaster-level martial artists, supported by magical power, and can use various lightness skills. Although they cannot travel a hundred miles a day, they can still travel three thousand miles a day.

call out!call out!call out!

The team traversed the mountains and forests, crossing more than a dozen hills.

Finally, Wang Quan, taking into account feng shui, the earth's veins, and even some rituals and magic, selected a mountain and a specific location: "This is it."

"Um?"

The master of ceremonies and the Taoist nun Meng Huan observed that the mountain Wang Quanxuan had chosen was filled with strange rocks and sparse vegetation, and there was a faint sign of an ominous wind sweeping through it.

Wang Quanxuan's location was precisely on the shady side of the mountain.

The wind was cold and gloomy, swirling in a depression several hundred meters in size, turning into a small tornado.

The Taoist nun in charge of the ceremony looked bewildered: "I've also studied feng shui and geomantic techniques."

"The spot you chose seems to be able to nurture evil spirits, zombies, and the like."

Wang Quan smiled, pointed to the surrounding mountains, and then pointed to the waterways, the direction of the trees, and the direction of the peaks, and began to explain.

Wang Quan: Bilibili!

The two nuns: "Oh!"

Wang Quan: Gibberish!

The two nuns suddenly realized:

"I see!"

"I'm not as good as you!"

The emcee, a Taoist nun, exclaimed in admiration, "You're really clever!"

"When we get back, you can rent me your brain, and I'll research some spells to return it to you, how about that?"

Royal power... "Not good at all!"

The master of ceremonies, a Taoist nun: "Sigh!"

After deciding on the location, the three of them took sedan chairs and walked back.

On the way, the female officiant contacted him through a token: "What if the other party doesn't approve of the place you chose?"

Wang Quan smiled and said, "We are professionals."

"They will approve."

The emcee, a Taoist nun, responded again: "What if they don't approve?"

Wang Quan sighed, "I also chose a backup option; the one on the opposite mountain is also an option."

The Taoist nun, the master of ceremonies, pondered the mountain range opposite and finally nodded: "That's good."

"After all, we can't ruin our reputation."

"If all else fails, just shift the blame and say it was done by a temporary worker."

"Um!"

It took three or four hours to get there, but only a short time, less than the time it takes to burn two incense sticks, to get back.

"After collecting the purple aura tomorrow morning, gather at the entrance of the third Hehuan Tower in the inner ward; Flower-scattering Taoist, if they accept your first tomb location, I will give you 50,000 coins; if they accept the second, I will give you 20,000 coins."

Wang Quan paused for a moment, then said, "Hmm!"

"Um... the guest was sucked to death at the Hehuan Tower?"

The master of ceremonies, a Taoist nun, shook her head: "No; those guests, during their revelry last night, were cursed to death by a cultivator."

"In the end, all that was left was a pile of bones; it was horrific."

The king remained silent.

The three separated.

The master of ceremonies and the dreamlike Taoist nun started looking for temporary workers.

Wang Quan returned to the mountains to study Taoist scriptures.

However, this time when he was studying the Taoist scriptures, he was a little disturbed and could not concentrate on reading them for a long time.

"I worked for nearly four hours and only got 20,000 to 50,000 coins."

"This amount of money is more than what we earn from internal tasks in the Lower House, but it's still too little."

"A single dose of a spiritual elixir that can be transformed into celestial secrets costs ten million, and even the cheapest essence of the sun and moon starts at ten million per dose."

"As for magic weapons... hehe... there's no need to even consider that."

"At this rate of making money, when will I ever accumulate enough for ten Heavenly Secrets?"

Wang Quan vaguely sensed that this was not good for future development.

"I've wasted too much time for this little bit of money."

"Within four hours, if one cultivates the [Great Sun Soaring Through the Sky Technique], one can roughly refine a strand of magical power."

"But I'm still very weak right now, so I don't dare to recklessly sell my magical power."

"Otherwise, making money by selling magical power is the only way to succeed."

"Or perhaps, I could collect sunlight specifically and condense its essence myself?"

Other cultivators need two or three years, or even several years, to condense even the most ordinary essence of the sun and moon.

"I have the Qi Gathering +1 trait, could I condense a Qi core in three to five days?"

"After the funeral tomorrow, I'll try to condense the essence."

"If it takes too long... then we can earn money and accumulate mana at the same time."

"In the [Bright Moon Illuminates My Method], there are also many items that can assist in refining the method."

"Once we've saved enough money, we'll get some auxiliary items to speed up the cultivation process; that's the key."

If he possessed 1001 magical powers, he could naturally sell them for profit without restraint.

So what if some people have doubts?

With his inner conflict resolved, Wang Quan was in high spirits and prepared to study the Taoist scriptures.

A pleasant fragrance wafted over from the side.

He turned his head and saw Ying Jiaren.

The little girl blinked her big eyes and said, "Senior brother... you were confused just now."

Wang Quan nodded: "Yes, everything's alright now."

Ying Jiaren nodded: "Senior brother, if your mind is in turmoil, go for a walk; that will help you recover faster."

"good!"

The little girl smiled, and then read the scriptures with the boy she was with.

Wang Quan took a deep breath and began reading the scriptures.

One hour...

Two hours...

Night fell, and the moon rose above the willow branches.

Wang Quan got up and went to practice his magic.

When he left, he found the little girl and her friends still diligently studying the Taoist scriptures.

"I wonder if she can hold out until she has read ten thousand volumes of Taoist scriptures."

"If she has condensed the [First-Rank Dao Seal]... I can discuss with her how we can use a small technique from the Daoist scriptures together to increase our wisdom and thus comprehend more of the Daoist scriptures."
