Back at the Drowning Dao Lower Court, Wang Quan had wondered why so many people chose the New Method.
Although the New Method allowed Dharma refining, it had far too many drawbacks.
So many that he did not even know where to begin.
In his eyes, New-Method Cultivators were nothing more than a crop of prime chives waiting to be harvested.
He did not understand why everyone scrambled to become those chives.
Later, in the Far Western Land, he had heard from the Officiant and the others that casualties among those New-Method Cultivators were truly, truly high.
In the Far Western Land, anyone who survived two or three days was already a lucky one, a veteran.
Later, when he stirred things up in Stone City and changed their expansion targets, he finally allowed the New-Method Cultivators and Spirit Monsters to survive.
Those New-Method Cultivators were actually just like the Spirit Monsters: very, very weak.
So weak that he felt:
As long as he wished, he could kill any so-called Foundation Establishment Ancestor he faced with a single casual spell.
The Round-Faced Daoist Nun smiled. "Studying the Daoist Scriptures is exhausting, and it consumes a great deal of resources."
"The resources spent on one Orthodox Qi Refining Realm Cultivator capable of entering and leaving the Second-Layer World in their physical body could nurture at least five hundred New-Method Foundation Establishment Ancestors."
"The resources spent on one Orthodox Foundation Establishment Cultivator could nurture three to five hundred so-called Golden Core Ancestors through the New Method."
"Although the New Method has many drawbacks."
"Once they cultivate to Golden Core, their combat strength is almost the same as that of Orthodox Foundation Establishment Cultivators."
"What's even more interesting is that Golden Core Ancestors of the New Method only have eight hundred years to live!"
