The Far Western Land, Stone City:
Returning to Stone City after years away, Wang Quan, Ruo Jinghong, the Officiant, and the others all exclaimed in wonder and shock.
For cultivators like Wang Quan and his companions, especially Dao Seal Cultivators, those three years seemed like yesterday.
But for Stone City, its Spirit Monsters, martial artists, New-Method Cultivators, and even ordinary Orthodox Cultivators, those three years had been very long indeed.
Over those three years;
Stone City expanded once each year.
In just three short years, Stone City's area had grown to more than ten times its original size.
Such tremendous growth allowed Stone City to accommodate more living beings.
Because of Wang Quan's policies, Spirit Monsters and martial artists were the most numerous in Stone City.
These two groups were so numerous because they were to serve as cannon fodder, materials, and reserves.
Five Elements Fruit Trees were now planted here and there throughout Stone City.
There were also many special spirit fruits, plants, fields, and more.
Viewed from above, if one ignored the terrifying abnormal weather outside its walls, the entire city was an inland city brimming with spring and flourishing with life.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
Wang Quan walked through the streets and alleys:
The martial artists still secretly fermented dung and smeared it on walls; fermented Spirit Monster dung-soil was more potent.
After eating it, martial artists cultivated their blood and qi more efficiently, and it was easy to digest without causing heartburn.
Under the leadership of Big Wind-Driller and Little Wind-Driller, the Spirit Monsters had built Stone City's renowned organization, the [Brocade Guard].
The [Brocade Guard] consisted mainly of Spirit Monsters such as brocade-furred mice, hydrangeas, white-eyes, embroidered chrysanthemums, various embroidered pictures, and guard locusts.
This organization secretly investigated Spirit Monsters, martial artists, New-Method Cultivators, and others.
