My construction materials are weird

Although Yan Lai had made ample preparations for refining talismans, he only succeeded by chance on his third attempt, even with the simplest Spirit Guiding Talisman.

However, the goal was achieved. When he released the Spirit Guiding Talisman in the plaza, it caused an uproar among the crowd.

This meant that what the Mystic Master said had come true. Whether it was refining artifacts or talismans, they could become methods for cultivators in the future.

This meant that their methods had greatly increased.

Yan Lai happily announced that the Confucian School would sell various talismans in the future, which was considered a GG.

However, Yan Lai was also very depressed. In these days, he had simulated and studied the Spirit Guiding Talisman countless times. Even the simplest Spirit Guiding Talisman took three attempts to succeed. If it were a more difficult talisman, he didn't know how much he would waste.

He originally thought that one hundred and ten leaves of material were a lot, but now it seemed like it would be enough for him to learn three kinds of talismans? And those were the simplest ones.

"It's not enough," Yan Lai pondered.

The crowd dispersed, and everything was very satisfactory. Artifact refining and talisman making began from this day.

… …

Within the Martial Dao Alliance.

Several high-level members watched the performances of the Daoist and Confucian schools.

However, they did not show any loss, as if the progress of the two families did not touch them at all.

"Is the road to the Blood Pool Secret Realm ready?"

Gao Jian: "Reporting to the Chief Manager, it is ready. We can proceed according to the plan after reporting to the Mystic Master."

"How are the beasts and animals prepared?"

Gao Jian: "Chief Manager, the several breeding farms under our jurisdiction are ready. Chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle, and sheep are all ready, and we have also prepared many wild beasts."

"Very good. No matter how the Confucian, Daoist, and Buddhist schools perform, our primary goal is the Blood Pool Secret Realm, and then the Blood Moon World. This is the opportunity the Mystic Master has given us. As long as we make good use of these two, who will have the last laugh is not certain."

The core of the Martial Dao Alliance is very simple.

They compared and found that they could not beat the Confucian school in terms of scheming, layout, and management.

They could not beat the Buddhist school in terms of wisdom, action, and accumulation.

They could not beat the Daoist school in terms of technology, talent, and experience.

All that remained for them was loyalty to the Mystic Master and the opportunity for their Martial Dao Alliance to come from the Mystic Master.

If they couldn't win by using their brains, then they would prove it with sincerity and action. Anyway, this was something that martial artists were very good at.

They would work hard to do what the Mystic Master designated, without competing or snatching, and firmly follow the Mystic Master.

The Mystic Master said that the Blood Pool Secret Realm should be developed, so they would develop it. The Mystic Master said that there was a great opportunity in the Blood Moon Secret Realm, so they would develop the Blood Moon Secret Realm.

Now it was the turn of their Martial Dao Alliance.

"By the way, how are Old Song and Old Zhao progressing in their comprehension?"

Zhao Long, one of the ten people, was a typical martial artist. He chose to join the like-minded Martial Dao Alliance and became one of the deacons.

But he didn't manage affairs, it was a matter of honor. Now his only purpose was to cultivate.

Zhao Long said: "Chief Manager, I have already found the opportunity. I am confident that I can complete the comprehension within a day or two."

Song Hongliang: "Chief Manager, I am still a little short. I may need another week."

Sun Hui nodded in satisfaction after hearing this.

Wu Gang also needed three or four days, Jin Ning had already completed it and started to fuse the second inscription of the Fusion Method.

He himself was engraving the third inscription of the Fusion Method.

The Mystic Master recognized ten people, and his martial arts school accounted for five, which was the biggest advantage.

One step ahead, every step is faster. The Confucian, Daoist, and Buddhist schools want to surpass themselves, but they are still a little short.

It was said that the three old guys from the Confucian, Daoist, and Buddhist schools were going to condense the fourth inscription. The mid-stage Fusion Method had attack methods, which was a trouble.

After all, he was still far behind, and had only just begun to engrave the third inscription.

"Everyone, work hard. Since we have a huge advantage, we must maintain this advantage. At the same time, we cannot relax in absorbing and recruiting talents, and the cultivation of young geniuses must also be continued. Although the points are temporarily not enough, we will not lack points after the Blood Pool Secret Realm is developed."

"Yes, Chief Manager."

The group took orders and acted.

"Huh?"

Suddenly!

"Old Song, Old Zhao, Wu Gang, Jin Ning, let's go. The Mystic Master summons us."

Sun Hui was about to make a summary speech to encourage everyone.

Suddenly, his divine soul vibrated, and a message came.

Jin Ning also received it.

This was because after the two of them had completely comprehended the visualization diagram, Xuan Huang could transmit messages to them through their divine souls.

"Okay."

Zhao Long, Wu Gang, and others hurriedly responded.

At the same time, the Confucian, Daoist, and Buddhist three also received the message, as well as Du Ming and Daoist Ma who had joined the Daoist school.

The ten people were summoned by Xuan Huang again, and they hurriedly instructed their subordinates before rushing to Xuan Huang's other courtyard.

Soon, the ten people gathered.

"Everyone, the Mystic Master is waiting for you, please come in." Sun Tong greeted them at the door.

"Thank you."

The ten people greeted each other simply and entered the other courtyard, arriving at the hall where Xuan Huang received people.

"Everyone, sit down."

Xuan Huang was actually very casual, but his strength made him too detached, causing everyone to be uneasy.

"Thank you, Mystic Master."

Everyone sat down halfway, straightened their bodies, just like a big leader summoning small employees.

"How was the harvest from the first time refining artifacts and talismans?"

Jiu Tong immediately stood up after hearing this: "Mystic Master, thanks to your grace… The little Daoist has gained a lot, but I can't change the shape of strange objects like you. I only eliminated the distorted consciousness. The little Daoist has not yet refined it…"

Yan Lai: "Mystic Master, I think talisman making is easy to learn, but not easy to master. I have been studying hard for a long time, but I still feel unsure when drawing talismans on the spot… To be honest, the three successes were purely by chance. If I were to draw another one, I'm afraid I would still fail. The accumulated experience is there, but it is very little."

Hearing the two people's answers, the other eight people pondered.

This experience was kept by Xuan Huang and they said it, it was very precious.

Xuan Huang: "The main reason is that the control and will are not strong enough. It will be much better if these two aspects are solved… Secondly, your cultivation is a little lacking. Experience can only be accumulated slowly, there is no other way."

He also said: "It's good to dare to try, it can be regarded as opening a precedent, but don't pay too much attention to it. At present, you should still focus on cultivation, you must understand that cultivation is the kingly way. Just like the three of you."

Speaking, Xuan Huang looked at the three Confucian, Daoist, and Buddhist people: "After condensing the fourth inscription, you can use the power of the Heaven and Earth Furnace, the Tongtian Jianmu, and the Gui Xu Great Mill. Don't think that these three devices are visualization objects and don't pay attention to killing. However, you must understand that these three devices are very comprehensive treasures."

Xuan Huang continued: "Jiu Tong's chain magic weapon seems to be good at trapping people, but it is far worse than the Heaven and Earth Furnace. The swallowing ability of the Heaven and Earth Furnace is very powerful, and the furnace fire can be released to fight enemies, and its killing power is also exceptionally powerful."

He also said: "In terms of assistance, it can refine fierce beasts and strange things. The refined pure energy is stronger than pills. In addition, hanging it above the head can emit a protective divine light, which cannot be broken without a huge difference in strength."

Continuing, he said, "The Tongtian Jianmu is also like this. Its life and death abilities are quite powerful. In life, it can heal injuries and restore vitality, comparable to a life-saving treasure... In death, it can transform into a Grim Reaper's scythe, destroying the enemy's life force. It can be said to be both offensive and defensive. After summoning it, it also has the Guardian Divine Light of Yin and Yang flowing around it, which cannot be broken unless the strength difference is too great... It also has various other abilities, such as catalyzing plant growth, controlling plants, stabilizing the heavenly secrets, and purifying spiritual energy..."

Finally, he said, "Although the Guixu Great Grinder is the strongest in soul attacks, it is also the strongest in soul defense. The grinding disc can crush the enemy's soul with a turn. It cannot be resisted without soul defense methods. Tempering the soul is just a normal function. The Guardian Divine Light is also powerful. The Guixu Nine Imprint Technique that I am passing on is a top-notch technique, whether for fighting enemies or condensing the soul..."

Currently, the strongest among them has not even reached the fourth level of Inscription.

Therefore, they don't quite understand the methods of the mid-stage of Fusion of Laws and Refinement of Intent.

With Xuanhuang's description, they realized that they had thought too simply. This was not just powerful; it was simply very powerful. Forgive their nonsense, because they couldn't think of a better expression.

Offensive and defensive capabilities, auxiliary cultivation, and various abilities opened their eyes.

What spiritual pills and miraculous medicines are needed? The enemy is the best firewood.

It can be called an invincible technique.

It is very similar to a devouring-type Dao technique, but without the side effects.

According to the descriptions in many novels, this is simply the protagonist's golden finger, even more excessive than the man-eating style, devouring all things.

The essence, energy, and spirit of other living beings can be refined and used to strengthen oneself without any side effects.

However, it requires the right aptitude. The Guixu technique can strengthen the soul without side effects, but devouring the aura, spiritual energy, and magic power will not work. This requires the Heavenly Dao and Tongtian Jianmu Visualization Diagram.

Similarly, the Heavenly Dao Furnace can devour the enemy's essence and blood, but the soul, spiritual energy, and magic power require the Guixu technique and the Heavenly Dao technique.

Unless one cultivates all three techniques simultaneously, refining all three techniques together.

But this is impossible. It is too difficult to cultivate all three techniques simultaneously. It's not just a matter of comprehension and time, but also whether one can control them.

Condensing three visualization diagrams in the mind, just thinking about it is terrifying.

It is impossible to have even a single mistake! All must be in perfect harmony!

How strong of a will and control is needed to maintain balance? How high of a comprehension is needed to achieve it?

It's better to take one path.

Xuanhuang said that as long as one of the essence, energy, and spirit is strong enough, it can drive the other two, and it is also a path to the Great Dao.

"I value you ten very much, so the best way for you now is to fight, to kill ferocious beasts, to temper yourselves... Managing a large force and being high above is indeed intoxicating, but the era is changing after all. Only those who possess great power themselves can laugh to the end. Don't be obsessed with power and status. Delegate power where appropriate, and do less of the things that delay cultivation."

The ten hurriedly got up and bowed, saying, "We thank you, Xuan Shi, for your teachings."

Important meaning does not need a heavy hammer to knock. Xuanhuang's tone of persuasion was very calm, but it was very heavy in their hearts.

Was this criticizing their recent eagerness to show off? Actually, no. Xuanhuang was just saying a few words. He was happy to see them compete.

It's just that it should be used on the key points, to change the atmosphere.

Competing through killing enemies and protecting all living beings is what Xuanhuang is happy to see.

"Xuan Shi, the Blood Pool Secret Realm is ready, waiting for your instructions."

Wu Gang immediately said.

"Okay, I will personally investigate and make some changes. After that, the Blood Pool Secret Realm can operate normally. Ferocious beasts can be cultivated and refined, and a batch can be prepared for tempering purposes."

Xuanhuang nodded in approval.

He added, "Since my Qingyun Mountain is located in Nanshi, it is not good for there to be too many rampant ferocious beasts in Nanshi and the surrounding cities and wilderness. You should mobilize and clean them up. From now on, any successor who learns my Dao techniques must remember that when settling in a place, they must protect the living beings of that place. If you do not have this Dao heart, it is better not to learn my techniques."

"Yes!"

This can be considered a great aspiration and also a requirement for his disciples.

If you learn my techniques and have the ability, you must have equal responsibility and obligation.

There must always be a persistence and connection in your heart.

If you have nothing, you will eventually be confused and trapped. How can you prove the meaning of your existence?

If you don't have the ability, you can go with the flow, or even lie flat. But if you have the ability but don't use it, it is a gift from heaven, and not using it will backfire.

With contemplation and solemnity, the ten left Xuanhuang's courtyard.

......

Xuanhuang appeared on a bustling mountain top.

"Long time no see."

Looking at the familiar scene, Xuanhuang came to the mountainside where the Blood Pool anomaly was located.

Recalling that he had guarded this place more than a month ago, the time wasn't long, but things had changed.

It was Liu Jinquan who discovered Xuanhuang, the 'Uncle Liu' that Xuanhuang was very familiar with.

Now he is in charge of the development of the Blood Pool anomaly.

"Old Liu!"

He wanted to call him Uncle Liu, but he changed his mind at the last moment.

There was no problem calling him Uncle Liu, but Liu Jinquan would be nervous and uneasy.

With the intention of not causing trouble for others, Xuanhuang called him Old Liu.

Just this title made Liu Jinquan's mouth almost split to his ears.

"Xuan Shi, you've arrived."

"Yes, I'll go take a look."

"Please."

To be honest, Xuanhuang was very cautious. He had guarded the pool for more than ten days before, but he had never entered it.

He was afraid that his cultivation was not enough and he would be schemed against by the Blood Pool anomaly.

Now it was considered his first time entering.

Arriving at the crack in the cave, the Blood Pool anomaly's erosion was even stronger.

When Xuanhuang was guarding it, the connection between the Blood Pool Secret Realm and reality had a reddish blood stain. Now, this blood red had eroded half of the entire cave.

As time passed, the Blood Pool Secret Realm would continue to erode the surrounding area until it completely merged into reality and became a part of the real world.

This was the result of the fusion of myriad worlds.

Blue Star was getting bigger every day because of the countless dense spaces that were merging into it.

This kind was considered good.

Some directly shattered and turned into a strange domain, adding an area to Blue Star out of thin air.

"Everyone, wait outside. I'll go in myself."

He said to the crowd.

Xuanhuang entered the Blood Pool Secret Realm for the first time.

A cold and violent aura rushed towards him.

It was as if the air was filled with blood, and the strong smell of blood made people uneasy.

His will transformed into a treasure light to protect his whole body, and Xuanhuang surveyed the entire Blood Pool Secret Realm.

He had seen it in videos before. The Blood Pool Secret Realm was not big, only about half the size of a village.

It was filled with scarlet mist, and in the center was a ten-foot-sized blood pool, filled with bubbling blood, emitting a shock that disturbed people's souls.

It was as if countless demons were roaring. If one's mind was destroyed, living beings would uncontrollably walk into the blood pool and then be swallowed and melted by the blood pool.

"Late Stage of Tier 1, not even at its peak."

After sensing it, Xuanhuang came to a conclusion.

It was not even comparable to the previous Corpse Tree anomaly and Strange Bell.

But because it was a secret realm with the blessing of the secret realm, it could have the strength of the peak of Tier 1.

"As long as the living beings who enter can withstand the soul shock, they can avoid being swallowed."

"But ordinary people find it difficult to resist the shock, so a safe path needs to be marked out."

Xuanhuang found the place to change.

"But there's no hurry. Let the Void Blade reach the Late Stage of Tier 1 first."

Xuanhuang took out the Void Blade, the only poor blade among the four brothers that was still at the Mid Stage of Tier 1.

"Buzz!"

The Void Blade that appeared was still always full of enthusiasm.

As long as it was summoned by Xuanhuang, it would always tremble excitedly.

As if saying: Use me and you will surely win, with me you are invincible, Master, let's fight together.

......
