My construction materials are weird

“Not going back?”

On the East Sea battlefield, during a rare moment of respite, Zhu Zishan and Lin Fan were sitting together, conversing.

“I'm not going back. Xiaocao recently made a good friend. I'm very relieved to have that esteemed one looking after her, and with you chasing me so closely, how could I dare waste any time?”

Speaking of which, at the end, Lin Fan looked at Zhu Zishan with resentment.

“You're still bringing that up? If you weren't firmly in the top spot of the team, would I be under so much pressure? The seniors of the Confucian school have a lot of opinions about me.”

Speaking of this, Zhu Zishan was also very depressed.

The four great prodigies, after initially being stationed on the second line for training, have now reached the front lines, which are also the three most intense battlefields.

These prodigies have grown a lot.

The Four Greats are satisfied with them.

As for the rankings, Lin Fan's Martial Alliance team is ranked first, and Zhu Zishan is ranked second.

Both of them are on the East Sea battlefield, which is also the most intense battlefield.

As the end of the year approached, Lin Fan originally planned to go back and see his younger sister, Xiaocao, but Zhu Zishan was chasing so closely that he didn't dare to slack off even a bit.

Because of being in first place, the seniors of the Martial Alliance have been very kind to him recently.

They all greet him with smiles, and the seniors who used to educate him at every turn have decreased a lot.

For the first time, Lin Fan felt that his seniors were amiable and kind.

“Isn't second place good? As second, you only need to think about improving. As first, I have to consider much more. My pressure is the greatest, understand?” Lin Fan complained.

Truth be told, this first place really tempers a person.

It's not just about the requirements for strength, but also the tempering of the body and mind. To maintain the first position, one really needs to consider a lot.

One can't become arrogant because of being first, otherwise, one will suffer heavy losses. One also can't become complacent because of being first, otherwise, one will be replaced sooner or later.

There's too much to think about.

He was originally a simple and cheerful young man, but now he's developing into an old fox.

Lin Fan's younger sister, Zhu Zishan and others, naturally gradually got to know. Who wouldn't like such a cute younger sister?

Gradually, Lin Fan discovered that his younger sister also had talent for cultivation, and what she excelled at was different from him. It was a talent in the aspect of refining the spirit.

Having been influenced by Qingyun Mountain since childhood, and having such a prodigy brother, Xiaocao had already comprehended the Visualization Chart to perfection very early on.

Strictly speaking, she is also a cultivator.

It's just that she's young and her temperament is unstable. Comprehending the Visualization Chart is purely beneficial, but cultivation is not.

The laws of Xuanhuang are mainly based on the path of the will being king.

The cultivation of the will is really not something that children can control.

It's difficult to control mood swings, which is what immature children are like.

It would be strange if it were easier for children to learn.

Of course, there are some freaks, such as Wan Xintong, brought by Liu Bi. Lin Fan felt scared when he saw this freak.

Clearly a child, an age not suitable for cultivation, with an unstable temperament, but when he cultivates, he's just so unreasonable.

It has already been confirmed that he does indeed have a special physique, and a special mental aspect, which is extremely rare.

For this reason, the Martial Alliance has not publicized it extensively, and is still in a hidden stage.

The other three Greats only vaguely know the outline, and don't understand the detailed situation.

Let's get back to the topic.

Because he discovered that Xiaocao had the talent for refining the spirit, Lin Fan was a bit棘手.

He and his seniors were all martial artists, and they were not professional in this delicate work of refining the spirit.

Lin Fan thought of his good friend Zhu Zishan, this guy is a genius in the aspect of refining the spirit.

In terms of refining the spirit, the strongest at present is the Buddhist school. After all, the Venerable Minghui is already a first-order late-stage spirit refining cultivator.

Refining the spirit is his signature skill, and the Buddhist school is the strongest because of it.

The strongest in terms of Qi refining is the Daoist school. The Confucian school is special, involving Qi refining, spirit refining, and body refining. If ranked comprehensively, the Confucian school is first.

It is very complete. There is no strength to be the first, but it is not the worst.

It can't even be said that their choice is not good. Specialization in a field is the best.

But it is such a Confucian school that is recognized as the first by the Four Greats. Although they don't admit it on the surface, they all admit it in their hearts.

Can you say that people's choice is wrong?

Can you say that people are too broad and too mixed?

You are not qualified. People's this is not good and that is not good is just that they have achieved the first place, what about you?

This led to Zhu Zishan serving as Xiaocao's teacher, guiding Xiaocao in cultivation.

However, Lin Fan regretted it. He always felt that his brother had other ideas, and from then on, he cared about Xiaocao even more than her own brother.

Lin Fan was immediately angry, regarding Zhu Zishan as ill-intentioned.

Zhu Zishan also wanted to cry injustice. Am I so desperate as to attack an eight or nine-year-old child?

I just simply like this younger sister, and her talent for refining the spirit, and I want to recruit her into my Confucian school.

Just such a simple idea, without any other improper thoughts.

“Are you sick? How many times have I said that I just like Xiaocao as a younger sister, and also her talent for refining the spirit?”

“Good, you finally told the truth. You like Xiaocao as a younger sister, are you still saying you have no thoughts?” Lin Fan was completely unreasonable.

“If I don't like her, should I hate her? If I don't call her younger sister, what should I call her? Are you a siscon, or what? Are you sick in the head?” Zhu Zishan was also angry.

“Pah, you're the siscon. I just want to protect her and guard against those who have ulterior motives towards her, such as you.”

Zhu Zishan: … …

Zhu Zishan completely stopped talking, not knowing how to open his mouth, having encountered such a brother.

He can understand, but it's very sad.

He understands that Lin Fan and his younger sister's situation is caused by the environment. Lin Fan's only support at the beginning was to protect his younger sister.

But it's also very sad, can't he get out of it?

He sees everyone as a bad guy.

“I just don't understand, you're so wary of me, what about that esteemed one?” Zhu Zishan had to take a roundabout approach.

“Hmph, that esteemed one is Lord Devouring Star, do you think I need to be wary? Lord Devouring Star gave Xiaocao a second-order spiritual seed, and takes Xiaocao to play in the dream world all day long, do I need to be wary? Do you think everyone is like you?”

Lin Fan was indeed fooled.

In his excitement, he confessed everything.

Zhu Zishan also breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. So it was Lord Devouring Star, then it's fine.

Wait… why did I breathe a sigh of relief?

Damn it, this foolish brother has made me abnormal too.

Lord Devouring Star is a very special existence.

His position is to guard Qingyun Mountain.

Although after Lady Shimen reflected reality, Lord Devouring Star's role was dispensable, everyone still respected him very much.

The Devouring Star spiritual seeds that are currently spread throughout the cultivation world are all Lord Devouring Star's children.

They have brought an unspeakable effect to the entire cultivator, sheltering countless cultivators as they grow.

It is still the best spiritual seed.

The reason it wasn't unique is that after so long, the cultivators weren't just sitting idle. Xuan Huang didn't release 《Spirit Plant Law》, 《Demonic Plant Reshaping Law》, etc., for nothing.

Other forces were one thing, but Prince Hao of Hundred Herb Pavilion had already reshaped two types of demonic plants.

Demonic plants are reshaped aberrant spirit plants.

There were also spirit plants, but few would consider them as a source for nurturing spirit seeds, as that would be too wasteful.

If you have spirit plants, wouldn't it be better to learn Prince Hao's 《Inner Landscape Spirit Root Law》? Wouldn't it be better to learn the Doctor's 《Outer Landscape Spirit Root Law》?

That is the true path, the path that can transform oneself.

It's not just simply selling spirit seeds.

Selling spirit seeds can earn points, but points can always be earned. The chance to transform oneself isn't always available.

Currently, spirit plants are being collected, some for inner and outer landscape methods, and some are being hoarded for a better price.

On the demonic plant side, after being reshaped, they nurture spirit seeds, like Devour Star.

In fact, demonic plants, which are aberrant spirit plants, are the best Dao trees for 《Inner Landscape Spirit Root Law》 and 《Outer Landscape Spirit Root Law》.

Unfortunately, without Xuan Huang's intervention, they cannot be completely reshaped.

Without a single mistake, every poem, every hair, every inner, every appearance, every existence, every look!

For example, Prince Hao's Bodhi tree Dao tree was created by Xuan Huang.

Ordinary cultivators can't achieve complete melting and reshaping, so despite being more precious, they have no choice but to choose more common spirit roots.

Spirit roots are simple. Just find an un-extraordinary spirit root, bring it back, and give it to Lord Hope. Spend points to have Lord Hope nurture and plant it into a first-order spirit root.

At Qingyun Mountain, a first-order spirit root won't go out of control.

A complete industry chain has formed, and Scarecrow Hope is an important part of it.

Cultivators learned about Scarecrow Hope after that conference, which led to the development of this cycle with Scarecrow Hope.

The appearance of Scarecrow caused the biggest impact on Hundred Herb Pavilion.

Compared to Hope, their planting abilities were simply appalling.

Fortunately, Prince Hao developed demonic plant reshaping, which allowed him to sell spirit seeds.

And Lord Hope plays in the high-end market, not participating in the low-end. This is Hundred Herb Pavilion's lane.

So, they didn't receive too much impact.

For example, nurturing extraordinary spirit plants, Prince Hao can actually do it, but not as well as Lord Hope.

Hope can nurture the spirit plants that cultivators want, can nurture them according to the cultivator, nurturing spirit plants that are perfectly compatible with the cultivator, completely custom-made nurturing.

Prince Hao can't do that. He can only luckily nurture extraordinary spirit plants, as for what they'll be like after being extraordinary… that's not important.

These are some of the changes and progress at Qingyun Mountain this year, but they can't be elaborated on in detail.

The entire Qingyun Mountain is growing.

Just like Lin Fan and Zhu Zishan, they are also growing.

The training in the First Battlefield has played a big role.

The two of them bickering here is based on having the strength to control the situation.

If they couldn't control the situation, they wouldn't have time to bicker here. They would have been diligently guarding the front lines long ago.

"Does Little Grass still need me to teach her?" Zhu Zishan asked.

"Um…"

Lin Fan was also speechless, he really couldn't do without Zhu Zishan.

The strongest Refining Spirit expert he could find right now, and one that he approved of, seemed to be only this guy.

Although this guy has ulterior motives, his skill is undeniable, he is a true genius.

A true genius like himself.

Lin Fan had already decided that he was a genius, ever since that conversation with Sun Hui.

"You, you still need to teach, but you can't have any improper thoughts?" Lin Fan said uncertainly.

"Am I just asking for trouble? Being wary of me like this, and still having to teach your sister, what am I getting out of this?" Zhu Zishan complained.

"You better not have any schemes? That idea is very dangerous. Lord Devour Star also likes my sister. If you have any improper thoughts, your Sect Leader won't be able to protect you," Lin Fan said stubbornly.

"Go to your grandma!"

Zhu Zishan was completely defeated by him and waved his hand and left.

"As expected, this guy is ashamed and angry. This pervert, he has ideas about Little Grass even when she's so young." Watching Zhu Zishan leave, Lin Fan strengthened his resolve.

"But it's okay, Lord Devour Star has already raised Little Grass's spirit seed to the second order. With this strength, Zhu Zishan won't be able to achieve his ideas even if he has them."

After saying that, still worried, he systematically sorted things out in his mind, and only felt relieved after thinking that his sister's spirit seed was already second order.

Devour Star was very simple and met the children Little Grass. The two children played well.

Devour Star even felt that they were better than his old friend Xuan Mao.

Recently, Devour Star wouldn't immediately respond to Xuan Huang's summons, always telling Xuan Mao that he was busy and didn't have time.

Mainly because he didn't like listening to Xuan Mao's complaints, always complaining about his Big Sister, it was very boring.

Too disloyal, he himself was very loyal to his boss Jianmu.

Xuan Mao is bad, Devour Star is good.

"This guy is really unreasonable, is he crazy?"

Depressed, Zhu Zishan walked and complained.

"As for me…"

"Boom!"

Suddenly!

Before he could finish complaining, while he was concentrating on complaining, he first saw a dazzling light.

Before he could react, a loud noise came, accompanied by severe pain.

As if he had been hit by a giant cannon, his body rose into the air without any struggle.

Hardly able to sense what was happening, the only thing he saw was Lin Fan, who was flying in the sky just like him.

They were truly in the same boat.

The two should have seen each other, both in uneasy panic and enduring severe pain.

"Roar! Human Xuan Huang, rebellious and unrighteous, violating the sacred, deserving of death!"

Only a voice that couldn't be identified as human, ghost, demon, or monster was heard.

It echoed throughout the entire First Battlefield.

An overwhelming pressure swept in, fortunately without any casualties.

Because these major battlefields have formation defenses, and not ordinary formations, but the strongest formations jointly arranged by Yuan Tianchun and the Four Greats.

A mid-stage third-order guardian defense formation.

It usually doesn't activate and appear, only appearing when third-order attacks are involved.

Even the cultivators present didn't know there was such a formation.

Telling them would negate the value of the training.

But the mid-stage third-order formation only lasted for a moment before instantly shattering, followed by a voice that was treasonous to the cultivators.

Daring to insult Xuan Shi.

Lin Fan and Zhu Zishan were unlucky, the two of them were chatting idly at the edge of the formation and were affected.

They were the two most unlucky people present.

Disaster has arrived. The suppression by the three top-level realms, the matchmaking by the Aberrant Association, their month-long plan has begun.

When the guardian formation was broken, the entire First Battlefield was immediately covered in darkness, as if it had turned dark.

An icy cold swept in, a coldness that the cultivators were very familiar with, it was aberration.
