Wang Quan thought for a while, then continued reading.
What followed were the Round-Faced Daoist Nun's tests on spirit monsters, cultivators, and even spirit plants, spirit herbs, and other things.
Her final conclusion was: "The minimum increase is one-tenth."
"And as time passes, this increase is still slowly growing."
"Moreover, the area it covers is getting larger and larger."
"It's just that both are increasing too slowly."
"There's no way to determine the upper limit, either!"
The Round-Faced Daoist Nun had written a great deal, and Wang Quan read it closely.
A long time later, he put away the Round-Faced Daoist Nun's letter and opened Ying Jiaren's.
Ying Jiaren's letter was very short, containing only a few sparse lines: "By the time you receive this letter, I'll have completed Foundation Establishment."
"Whether or not I receive a conscription order, I'll go to the Far Western Land to find you."
Wang Quan paused after reading the letter, then smiled.
"Whether or not she receives a conscription order, she'll come find me?"
"Then I'll wait and see!"
He put away the letter, then restored the power of the [Self-Crossing Scripture] and entered the Second-Layer World to inscribe Daoist scriptures.
Three years...
That year, although he continued writing Daoist scriptures with all his might, he still had not covered the floor.
The more Daoist scriptures he wrote, the slower his progress became.
Many times, Wang Quan wanted to tell Ruo Jinghong about the [Self-Crossing Scripture] and have her help him.
Yet every time he opened his mouth to speak, he vaguely sensed something was wrong.
When he tried to teach the [Self-Crossing Scripture] to Mei Niang, Fierce Tiger Daoist, Ma Qingqiu, and the others, he felt the same unease.
That vague sense of something being wrong made him abandon teaching it to them
