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

In the morning, at the Sutra Repository:

After many days, Wang Quan felt quite unfamiliar upon returning to the library.

He looked around and found that the people studying the Taoist scriptures were still the same ones, with little change.

He also saw Ying Jiaren and her friends.

The two were face to face, both studying Taoist scriptures.

Wang Quan noticed that Ying Jiaren's friends would stare blankly for a while after reading Taoist scriptures for a while.

It was unclear whether the other person was pondering the mysteries of the Taoist scriptures or thinking about something else.

He returned to his old seat, took out his pen and ink, and began to answer the questions, preparing to pass the test on this new volume of the Daoist scripture.

After an unknown amount of time, all the questions in the new volume of the Daoist scripture were answered correctly, and yet another volume of the Daoist scripture appeared.

Tao Te Ching +1.

Wang Quan smiled.

Another step forward.

Although it's only a little bit, it's not far from reaching the second-grade Dao seal script.

very good!

"Senior brother, I thought you weren't coming back and had given up on the Daoist scriptures!"

A clear female voice interrupted his reverie.

Wang Quan turned his head and saw Ying Jiaren and her friends.

He smiled and said, "I have something to take care of outside."

"Moreover, even when I go out, I study the Taoist scriptures!"

"The Taoist scriptures are the foundation for cultivators; how could I possibly abandon them?"

Ying Jiaren's friends sighed, "These days, many of those who came with us have given up the Taoist scriptures and started practicing the fundamental methods."

"And then, they never came back to the library!"

"Senior brother, will they come again?"

Wang Quan thought of Qian Xiuyue, Wu Yong, and Zhao Hongyi, and smiled slightly, "Perhaps they won't come again!"

Ying Jiaren and her friend had complicated expressions: "Senior brother, are the Taoist scriptures really that important?"

Wang Quan smiled and nodded as always: "Mm!"

The boy opposite Ying Jiaren's eyes flickered: "How important is it? Could you elaborate, senior brother?"

Wang Quan smiled and said, "If you study the Taoist scriptures before you start practicing the techniques, you will one day find that these scriptures are quite important."

Yingjia and the young man were seemingly lost in thought, while the other appeared quite suspicious.

At noon, Wang Quan told the round-faced Taoist nun about Qian Xiuyue's agreement.

The round-faced Taoist nun was delighted and insisted on taking him to find Fairy Qin for help and entertainment, but Wang Quan politely declined: "In the future, I'll ask my senior sister for help; just remember her kindness!"

The round-faced Taoist nun nodded vigorously.

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

The black bird flies and the rabbit runs:

one day.....

Ten days...

One month...

Wang Quan lived a simple and unpretentious life.

In the morning, I would gather five or six wisps of purple energy, then learn twenty or thirty kinds of spells and study Taoist scriptures in the library.

If you feel tired or bored, practice the "Great Sun Soaring Through the Sky Method" and cultivate the "Great Sun Power".

After regaining my senses, I continued studying the Taoist scriptures.

After nightfall, spend the first half of the night cleaning the reliefs and ghost masks around the dining hall in the second layer of the world.

In the latter half of the night, he had paper figures carry a sedan chair to a random mountain to collect moonlight for alchemy.

After gathering the purple aura at dawn, they returned to the Drowned Lower Temple.

During this period, he would occasionally act as the Flower-Scattering Taoist and work with the Master of Ceremonies Taoist nun and the Dreamy Taoist nun to manage weddings and funerals.

Speaking of these two Taoist nuns, they are now in a rather miserable state.

because:

They couldn't handle the strange occurrences at Hehuan Tower.

Finally, the Hehuan Tower was abandoned.

However, relying on the new law, Hehuanlou forced the two nuns to compensate for their losses.

These two Taoist nuns lost over 500,000 coins before finally escaping the quagmire of the Hehuan Tower.

Whenever this matter is mentioned, the two nuns sigh and say, "If only they had known then what they know now!"

"If we had declined in the first place, things wouldn't have come to this."

Wang Quan asked suspiciously, "The anomaly wasn't caused by you, so why should you compensate them?"

The two nuns sighed, "If we don't pay them compensation, they'll punish us!"

"These guys have a group of cultivators just like us standing behind them."

"They outnumber us and have the upper hand; we can't afford to mess with them. We have no choice but to accept our defeat!"

"Little brother, you must work hard in the future and learn to form cliques. When you are strong enough, help your sister take care of them."

Wang Quan nodded.

Even without the master of ceremonies saying so, he would settle scores with the Hehuan Tower and the Zhao family in the future.

Why should they pay him his wages?

If they don't pay their wages, they'll pay with their lives.

This is a matter of course.

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

After passing another test with a Daoist scripture in the Sutra Repository, Wang Quan checked the information on the "First-Rank Daoist Seal".

[First-Rank Daoist Seal - Royal Power - Lifespan 20/140]

[Promotion requirements for Daoist Seal Rank: 1.25/2]

[Realm: Qi Refining/Yin Spirit!]

【Magic Power: 【Bright Moon Magic Power - 210 strands】, 【Purple Qi Magic Power - 200 strands】, 【Great Sun Magic Power - 3 strands】.

Fundamental Laws: [The Bright Moon Illuminates Me Law], [The Purple Qi Reaches the Heavens Law], [The Great Sun Shines Across the Sky Law]

[Spells: [Plain Moon Paper Cutting Technique], [Moonlight Escape], [Yang Qi Furnace], [Taiyin Yin Thunder], [Frosty Yin Thunder], [Illusory Moon Yin Thunder].]

[Characteristic: Qi Gathering +1 - Consumes 10 Heavenly Secrets to condense a second characteristic.]

[Heavenly Secrets: 0.]

[Virtue in secret: 15000]

[Qingfuqian: 40 million]

Elixirs, essences, and magical treasures can all be transformed into celestial secrets.

The information on the 【First-Rank Daoist Seal】 has undergone many changes.

His magical power had reached over two hundred levels, but that was only because he spent more than half of his time each night clearing away evil, which delayed his progress.

Otherwise, his magical power would definitely be over three hundred.

Although his magical power has diminished, his spiritual cultivation and moral virtue have made considerable progress.

Leaving aside the issue of yin virtue (hidden virtue), we don't even know how to use it yet, and it's not even recorded in current Taoist scriptures.

However, accumulating over ten thousand merits is definitely better than accumulating a few hundred or a few thousand.

As for the Yin spirits, their progress is even greater.

Although he had never actively tempered his Yin Spirit during this period, he vaguely felt that his Yin Spirit was about to step into the Yang Spirit level.

Once some more evil is eliminated, feedback is received, and the Yin spirit is refined with a small amount of essence, one can step into the Yang spirit realm.

At that time, he can also descend upon the Second World during the day.

In this way, his cultivation progress will reach a state of explosive improvement.

The only thing that disappointed him was that the secret remained—0.

During this time, he tried to use elixirs to transform the secrets of heaven.

As a result, the spiritual medicine of ten thousand Qingfu could only transform a trace of heavenly secret.

Not worth it!

As for the transformation of magical artifacts... well, he has never even seen a magical artifact, and he doesn't know how many secrets a single magical artifact can transform.

The only certainty is:

The cheapest way to convert the essence of the sun, moon, and stars into celestial secrets is the most cost-effective.

However, even the cheapest essence costs ten million Qingfu coins.

He needs to sell ten magical powers to raise ten million Qingfu.

To gather ten heavenly secrets, one must exert one hundred units of magical power.

However, if one sells one unit of magic power per month, no one cares.

However, selling a hundred units of magical power in a month, or even a year, is problematic.

If someone starts watching you, that would be troublesome.

For safety's sake, the royal power decided to wait.

Once the Yin God evolves into the Yang God and he has cultivated more magical power, it's fine to do it this way.

So what if someone has doubts then?

At that time, he possessed great magical power and numerous spells; who would dare to provoke him?

As he pondered, his thoughts left his inner world and he continued studying the Taoist scriptures.

They had only been studying for a short while when Ying Jiaren and her friends approached them: "Senior brother, can you tell us about the cultivator's manor?"

Wang Quan raised an eyebrow: "Why the sudden interest in the manor?"

The girl remained silent.

The young man spoke up: "Senior brother, several of us from the same year attended the banquet at the Seven Maidens Mountain Villa after practicing our techniques."

"They said the banquet was extravagant, surpassing even the greatest earthly pleasures!"

"They said..."

"Young Bilibili is talking."

Wang Quan was in a daze, as if he had returned to the scene described by Zhao Hongyi a few years ago:

"They gathered moonlight and transformed it into beautiful women who danced gracefully..."

"Someone casually waved their hand, and the clouds fell..."

"Someone planted a fruit seed... and it tasted sweet."

"There are many seekers of immortality... who are supported in their cultivation."

"You want to do that too?"

The boy was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly waved his hand: "No, I already made a promise with Jiaren that we would study the Taoist scriptures together."

"We need to elevate the Taoist scriptures to ten thousand volumes, and then analyze the fundamental principles to begin our practice!"

"We're just curious if these things are true!"

Wang Quan smiled: "A real manor banquet is far more luxurious and more enjoyable than this."

The young man felt a longing in his heart, while Ying Jiaren continued to study the Taoist scriptures beside him.
