My construction materials are weird

The people of the Daoist sect openly refine tools without any reservation, even promoting it widely.

The purpose is to build their reputation. At Qingyun Mountain, martial artists and cultivators arrive daily in a constant stream.

Some join the Daoist sect, some join the Martial Alliance, some join the Confucian school, some are from the Buddhist sect, and some are independent cultivators.

Therefore, Qingyun Mountain is expanding every day. The ten-mile radius covered by the Jianmu tree has been planned well, avoiding dense gatherings, as too much density is not ideal.

On the central square, a group of Daoist sect elders stood together solemnly, as if holding a grand ritual.

Seeing that the time had come, Headmaster Jiutong strode to the center of the platform.

"Fellow Daoists, our Daoist sect has received the grace of Master Xuan and been bestowed with cultivation methods. The Daoist sect..."

A torrent of flowery, grandstanding words.

After speaking, he took a step back, and three more Daoists stepped forward to stand beside him.

"Summon the Heaven and Earth Furnace!"

Jiutong Daoist Priest shouted loudly.

In the other courtyard, Xuan Huang waved his hand, and the Heaven and Earth Furnace in the small world rumbled.

"Today is the start of your business. Don't mess it up. As long as you do well this time, you'll have chances to sneak snacks in the future. Go."

"Buzz!"

The Heaven and Earth Furnace trembled, as if responding.

Immediately, it transformed into a streak of azure light and flew towards the square.

"Look, it's coming, it's coming! This is the treasure refined by Master Xuan, the Heaven and Earth Furnace."

It should be called a magical artifact, but martial artists prefer to call Xuan Huang's Heaven and Earth Furnace, Tongtian Jianmu, and Gui Xu Great Mill treasures.

After all, the prototypes of the visualization diagrams they comprehend are these three artifacts, which also suppress their souls.

Calling them magical artifacts is too undignified; calling them treasures is better.

Of course, those refined by others are called magical artifacts.

These guys are typically using double standards, treating things differently.

"Is this the Heaven and Earth Furnace? It's my first time seeing the real thing. Before, I only comprehended the visualization diagram. Sure enough, Daoist essence flows within; it's not an ordinary object, and it makes people feel close to the Dao upon seeing it."

"This treasure was refined by Master Xuan to suppress the source of our souls. How can ordinary magical artifacts compare? Moreover, this treasure excels at both refining tools and refining pills, which is good news for us."

"I've seen the Heaven and Earth Furnace this time, and it's indeed extraordinary. I've also seen the Tongtian Jianmu, the object of visualization for the 'Heaven and Earth Law,' which is very magical. It's just that I haven't seen Master Xuan's third treasure, the Gui Xu Great Mill. I imagine it's also an extraordinary object, beyond imagination."

After this person finished speaking, someone suddenly reminded him.

"Fellow Daoist, you're wrong. Master Xuan also has a fourth treasure, a seemingly decayed long saber. According to the information I've gathered, it's Master Xuan's first weapon, the long saber he received from the Nanshi Martial Arts Hall. It should have been constantly refined by Master Xuan, so it has changed."

After he finished speaking, those who had just arrived were curious, surprised that there was a fourth treasure.

This person continued, "The other three treasures were refined by Master Xuan for the three aspects of essence, qi, and spirit, but Master Xuan's weapon for fighting enemies is that unknown treasured saber."

His words aroused everyone's curiosity.

"Fellow Daoist, do you know the name of Master Xuan's fourth treasure?"

This person shook his head and said, "Not many people know. The name of the treasured saber hasn't been spread, but it's definitely extraordinary."

These words were like nonsense, and everyone shook their heads in disdain.

Someone laughed and said, "There's no need for you to say that, Fellow Daoist. How can a treasure personally refined by Master Xuan be ordinary?"

"Hehe..." Everyone chuckled softly.

Then someone suddenly said, "By the way, did you guys know that Master Xuan repelled the Strange Alley a few days ago?"

Everyone nodded upon hearing this, and one person replied, "Of course I know. Isn't the Nanshi Evil Suppression Department constantly promoting it these days? They even subtly hinted that the previous records of the Strange Alley were inaccurate."

"Pfft!" Someone laughed and said, "Master Xuan 'slapped them in the face,' right? I heard that the information the Evil Suppression Department gave Master Xuan was vastly different from what happened when Master Xuan faced the Strange Alley. The Evil Suppression Department's spiritual masters were too far off, causing Master Xuan to want to exchange opinions with a spiritual master who had experience dealing with the Strange Alley? ...Unexpectedly, that spiritual master was only responsible for the aftermath, haha... He had no experience dealing with the Strange Alley at all."

"Is that so? How do you know, Fellow Daoist?"

This person laughed and said, "I have a friend named Gao Jue, who is well-informed."

Everyone didn't delve into it. Someone said, "Before, the spiritual masters were the ones who recorded the information, so they could write whatever they wanted. Now it's good, haha... There are too many mistakes."

This person didn't completely reveal the truth, but those who understood, understood.

"Look, the people from the Confucian and Buddhist schools are here, and Chief Manager Sun Hui of the Martial Alliance is also here."

"Did you see that woman?"

"Did I see her? Are you talking about the one who is unbelievably beautiful?"

"Yes, her. Master Xuan's assistant. She's also here to observe."

"Hey, the Daoist sect is really making a big move. This is their first attempt at refining tools, a pioneering effort. I was just thinking about joining the Daoist sect; it seems like my decision was right."

A companion said, "Aren't you a martial artist? Why don't you join the Martial Alliance? The Martial Alliance is the highest aspiration for martial artists, right?"

Hearing this, the companion understood his old friend's thoughts. Indeed, Qingyun Mountain was evolving too quickly, changing every moment.

Every day, geniuses from all over the world gathered here.

At this time, those who could cross the wilderness to come to Qingyun Mountain were undoubtedly people with strong strength and firm Dao hearts, and not the kind who only had strength. They possessed equal strength and wisdom, with experience and skill existing side by side.

"I heard that the Martial Alliance's first genius has been selected?"

This person replied, "Yes, a fifteen-year-old boy named Lin Fan not only entered the door on his first attempt at comprehending the visualization diagram but also comprehended 30% at once. A young talent."

The companion smiled wryly and said, "It's true that comparing people is infuriating. I finally accumulated enough points to comprehend the Tongtian Jianmu visualization diagram once, but I didn't even enter the door, let alone comprehend 30%."

This person said, "That's why recognizing oneself is also a great wisdom. I have recognized myself. Joining the Martial Alliance is too competitive, and it's difficult to get any resource allocation. It's better to join the Daoist sect. Although there are many people in the Daoist sect, there are also more options. With the hundreds of immortal cultivation arts, I can always find a place that suits me."

The companion accepted his old friend's decision and was about to speak...

But they saw that after the Buddhist, Confucian, and Martial families arrived to offer their congratulations, the Daoist sect began to refine tools.

"Begin!"

A loud shout pulled back the whispering crowd, and everyone watched intently as the Daoist sect refined tools for the first time.

"Open!"

Jiutong chanted a spell, and the lid of the Heaven and Earth Furnace flew open.

Jiutong gathered all his strength and urged the Heaven and Earth Furnace.

"Enter!"

A dark chain was thrown into the Heaven and Earth Furnace.

As soon as it was thrown in, the dark chain instinctively struggled and rioted. The Heaven and Earth Furnace trembled, causing Jiutong, who was controlling it, to feel as if he had suffered a huge impact. His essence and energy were immediately disrupted, and a mouthful of blood rushed to his mouth.

Jiutong didn't dare to be careless and quickly adjusted his impacted essence and energy, gritting his teeth and not letting the blood spray out, only leaving a red line from the corner of his mouth.

"Not good."

The Daoist sect members watching were in a panic.

"It's okay, I'm fine, don't panic."

Jiutong said.

The weirdness was erased, twisting the mind, and instinctively struggling and resisting. This was the most violent impact and the first difficult step in refining tools.

The reason why Xuan Huang was fine was because the impact had no effect on him.

If the Heaven and Earth Furnace could speak, it would scold Jiutong Daoist Priest for being useless. When the master controlled it, it was as steady as an old...old hand.

This old Daoist is no good. His control over himself is too poor, and he even injured himself. It's really no good. If it weren't for earning the price difference, he wouldn't let them get their hands on it.

But Jiu Tong breathed a sigh of relief.

The riot of the bizarre consciousness being wiped out was suppressed. Once this step is crossed, the rest will be easier, it's just a matter of consuming essence and energy.

His two junior brothers and one fellow Daoist were already prepared to take turns with him.

Next is a matter of time.

"Halfway to success."

A group of Confucian scholars, clustered around Yan Lai, an older man spoke.

"Refining artifacts is said to be more difficult than drawing talismans. The Daoist sect is truly bold. We must also advance our artifact refining plans."

"Indeed, but if we are to refine magical implements, what should be our first choice?"

Someone asked.

"I observe that the Daoist sect's choice is weapons of slaughter. It seems they intend to earn more with weapons of slaughter. I heard that the Blood Moon World is about to be opened up, and full-scale development is imminent. There are many extraordinary fierce beasts in the Blood Moon World, so the Daoist sect's purpose in refining chain-type magical implements is self-evident."

Without error, one song, one hair, one inside, one appearance, one look!

"Also, the Blood Pool Secret Realm is about to be officially developed. By putting ordinary animals in, fierce beasts can be catalyzed. The essence blood, aura, and spiritual intelligence of the fierce beasts can all be used as nourishment for advancement. Chain-type magical implements can not only kill enemies but also trap them. The Daoist sect has thought very deeply."

Yan Lai, upon hearing this, asked: "How is the information on the Strange Fire?"

"Sir, it has been confirmed. That strangeness is a Strange Fire close to the second rank. It was born in a supermarket fire. Tian City has already sealed off this supermarket. The Strange Fire is still in the supermarket. We paid a considerable price to persuade the Tian City Evil Suppression Department to let us oversee the suppression."

After this person finished speaking, he asked: "Sir, what do you mean?"

Yan Lai said: "That's right. The Xuan Master said before that if there is any Strange Fire type of strangeness, we can inform him, or we can take it to exchange. We will not exchange it with the Xuan Master. Our first artifact will be targeted at the Strange Fire, and then we will personally seal the Strange Fire and send it to the Xuan Master."

"Sir, are you talking about the Jade Box Strangeness?"

Yan Lai nodded and said: "It is the Jade Box Strangeness. This strangeness is very rare. As everyone knows, jade has the ability to seal strangeness. The birth of strangeness in jade greatly enhances this ability. As long as the Jade Box Strangeness is refined into a magical implement, then the sealing ability will definitely be enhanced. When the time comes, we can seal or trap the Strange Fire in the jade box."

"High, sir is truly high."

"Haha, I admit that the Daoist sect is very strong, but when it comes to understanding people's hearts and comprehending the thoughts of superiors, my Confucian sect is the strongest... cough cough, I mean in terms of insight into people's hearts, not flattery, don't misunderstand."

"Don't explain, everyone understands, but pay attention to the bald donkeys. The bald donkeys are also very strong in this regard."

"Yes, yes, the monks are also good at this."

Hearing their conversation, Yan Lai felt a little ashamed, but the reality was just like that, and he himself was like that.

Could it be called worldly wisdom? Learning a little is always useful.

Besides, there are also many upright and unyielding people in his Confucian sect. Everything has two sides, and nothing is absolute. Being too absolute is not good.

Wisdom, this is wisdom.

Yan Lai changed the subject and said: "Are you all prepared for refining talismans later?"

"Sir, we are all prepared. You only need to focus on engraving the runes, and we will take care of everything else."

"That's very good." Yan Lai smiled. He could rest assured with his colleagues handling things.

In fact, his colleagues may not be as talented in cultivation as the other three families, but they are absolutely top-notch in handling affairs, managing miscellaneous matters, and so on.

He wanted to give full play to the strengths of himself and others and gradually take charge of some power.

"What movements are there on the Buddhist side?" Yan Lai asked again.

"Sir, the Buddhist sect has no movements for the time being. They have been rectifying the Buddhist sect. It must be said that Grandmaster Minghui has great courage."

Even if they called the monks bald donkeys, they still admired Minghui and the others.

Yan Lai said dejectedly: "Let's not talk about them. We also need to rectify ourselves. Our reputation is not much better than the Buddhist sect's. Although my Confucian sect often takes the blame, we also need to revive ourselves. The most valuable thing about my Confucian sect is that we are aware of the times and know how to change and adapt to the general trend. This is not something shameful, and we need to continue to maintain it. Only those who survive to the end are qualified to comment. Do you have this awareness?"

"Yes."

"… …"

While they were discussing, a few maverick people looked at the Daoist sect refining artifacts with gloomy eyes, looking at Green Cloud Mountain, looking at the bustling and vibrant vitality.

"This Xuan Huang has already become a force to be reckoned with."

A gloomy middle-aged man said. Judging from their aura, these people were spirit masters.

He was a spirit master subordinate to the demon believers.

They valued Xuan Huang the most, after all, there was a Demon Puppet Hall Master named Gou Jianren.

"Where have the Three Strange Rat Brothers gotten to?"

The man asked a young woman beside him.

"Sir, the Three Strange Rat Brothers have arrived at Mount Tai. The specific city is not yet determined, but they said they will definitely arrive in two days."

The middle-aged man was very angry when he heard this, "Being so procrastinating, do the Three Strange Rat Brothers think that my demon believers are easy to talk to?"

The woman said dejectedly when she heard this, "Sir, you don't know, there are not many spirit master assassins who can be hired at present. Many people are still worried about the previous overwhelming popularity of the forum. The Evil Suppression Department, the Gold Medal Envoys, the Dragon Masters, the Confucian, Daoist, and Buddhist families, all praise Xuan Huang, and even the Confucian, Daoist, and Buddhist families have taken refuge under his banner. With so many forces supporting him, many assassins are also worried."

She added: "Only the Three Strange Rat Brothers, who are on the verge of losing control and are almost crazy, don't care. They are not easy to force. If they are forced too hard... their instability may backfire. Our contact with the Three Strange Rat Brothers is with an attitude of coaxing them."

"Hmph!"

The middle-aged man did not continue to ask.

As the woman said, there are not many who dare to accept the task of killing Xuan Huang.

The death of Strange Shadow Qi Long has already been exposed, and the incident of Demon Puppet Hall Master Gou Jianren has also been exposed.

The Xia Capital Headquarters Evil Suppression Department was furious and issued a kill order for Demon Puppet Hall Master Gou Jianren.

Daring to harm the deputy director of the Evil Suppression Department of a city, and also hiding spies, this is a provocation to the headquarters of the Evil Suppression Department.

Therefore, even if several major evil organizations issued a kill order for Xuan Huang, very few dared to take the job.

Under Gou Jianren's strong promotion, he finally found the Three Strange Rat Brothers.

The eldest brother of these three brothers is a second-rank spirit master, and the two younger brothers are at the peak of the first rank. They are extremely difficult to deal with. Strange Rats can burrow into the ground and hide invisibly. In addition, with the combined strength of the three, the threat is extremely great.

However, the three brothers are all on the verge of losing control. The demon believer church promised a large price of divine blood, which is why they hired the three.

They still paid half of the transaction in advance.

"The three brothers should be using the divine blood we gave them to suppress the erosion of strangeness, so they are coming slowly. This is also good, as it gives us greater certainty," the woman said.

"Hmph, I hope so," the man said.

"I have the entrustment of the Demon Puppet Hall Master to make sure this matter is handled well. Xuan Huang must die. If he doesn't die, how can we two face the Hall Master?" The man said in a gloomy tone.

"Yes, we will definitely work hard and not let the Hall Master down."

"That's good. The Hall Master said that as long as everyone works hard, there is still a chance to get a chance to die in their place. You must be serious," the man said, drawing a big cake.

Of course, it may also be a big cake that Gou Jianren drew for him.

Even if he knew it was a big cake, his eyes still lit up with heat.

"Let's go, this Green Cloud Mountain is really depressing, it's uncomfortable to stay here. This Xuan Huang must die, his ghostly place is so annoying."

The man saw that the Daoist sect's artifact was about to succeed and didn't want to face such a situation.

In addition, it was indeed uncomfortable in Green Cloud Mountain, after all, the strangeness suppressed by Jianmu was dormant.

Therefore, he chose to leave.
