My construction materials are weird

"Doctor Zhang, Doctor Zhang, did you see it?"

In a newly developed residential area in Nan City, this is a newly opened area. Previously, this place belonged to the wilderness, and fierce beasts often haunted it.

But at this moment, it has become a safe area under the cleansing of Confucianism.

A small, exquisitely renovated courtyard is the residence of Doctor Zhang, the demon medicine practitioner.

Entering the courtyard, various containers and alchemy furnaces can be seen everywhere, as well as the flesh and blood essence of various fierce beasts.

A middle-aged man with a disheveled appearance is carefully looking at the information on the points board.

His originally pale face began to change, becoming energetic, and the corners of his mouth began to widen, his smile overflowing with joy.

The subordinate who reported the message, seeing this, knew that Doctor Zhang had seen the first Qingyun Mountain Hundred Arts Competition.

"I saw it."

Doctor Zhang replied with a smile.

Not only did he see it, but he also received a separate message.

【Hello Doctor Zhang, I am Wang Ziháo, the host of this competition. I have long admired Doctor Zhang's expertise in elixirs, which is famous all over the world.

Therefore: I invite Doctor Zhang to participate in this competition. This competition will be fair and just…

Based on Doctor Zhang's level, it is expected that the top three will be within reach, and you will have the opportunity to meet Master Xuan in person…】

— Wang Ziháo, host of the Qingyun Mountain Hundred Arts Competition.

This was the message he received separately.

"Then?" the subordinate asked hesitantly.

"What then? Of course, I'll participate. Although I'm reclusive and don't like to communicate and interact with outsiders, this competition is different. Putting aside whether I can go to the end and meet Master Xuan, just exchanging and learning with peers can broaden my horizons, so naturally I have to participate."

Said Doctor Zhang, the demon medicine practitioner.

He is a reclusive person and rarely communicates with the outside world. Even when he does, it is about elixirs.

Therefore, everyone thinks he is a bit arrogant. In addition, his most famous creation is the Three Demonic Pills, which correspond to the Three Sacred Pills of Master Xuan.

Hence the title of Demon Medicine.

"That's good, haha…"

The subordinate laughed, he knew Doctor Zhang's ability and was afraid that Doctor Zhang would refuse.

"Wait, I'll go sign up now."

After speaking, Doctor Zhang walked into the house, sat cross-legged, adjusted his breathing, opened his heart, and entered the dream bubble.

"I want to participate in this Hundred Arts Competition, the elixir project competition."

According to what the competition organizers said, he began to register.

【Ding: Thank you for participating, please register your name, age, cultivation level…】

A voice prompt sounded in his dream bubble.

"Zhang Huaque, age 42, cultivation level Entry Stage Level 3 (Qi Refining)…"

【Ding: Contestant Zhang Huaque, you have successfully registered. Please enter the dream bubble on time at 8:00 a.m. three days later to start the first round of dream selection…】

After carefully reading the rules, Doctor Zhang exited the dream.

The second round is still a dream selection, which is also a recognition of spiritual herbs.

However, the second round is no longer just simple herbs, but also the flesh and fur of fierce beasts as medicinal materials, as well as some Entry Stage demonic plants, spiritual plants, and other spiritual medicines.

This is a test of learning ability and the ability to keep up with the times.

You can't just know the meridians and directions of the herbs of Blue Star before, but also need to study the Entry Stage spiritual medicines, demonic plants, and fierce beasts after the strange recovery.

The second round will select the real elixir masters.

The third round…

The rules for the third round were not mentioned, but Doctor Zhang felt that the third round should be a test of actual combat, that is, the ability to refine elixirs.

The same is true for the sea selection in the dream world.

Exiting the dream bubble, Doctor Zhang couldn't help but sigh at the power of the dream world.

Before, it was just preaching, but now it is very convenient to hold such competitions.

Dreams are a reflection of the heart, and entering a dream requires asking the heart, which eliminates the ability to cheat.

What's more, when the trial is in progress, the Gate of Dreams will control the dream bubbles of the participants, and will not allow anyone to have the opportunity to cheat.

You don't even need real medicinal materials for everyone to identify, just transform them directly in the dream, and there is no delay in looking, smelling, asking, and feeling, just like the real world.

This way, the speed of the sea selection will be very fast.

The same medicinal materials will appear in the dream bubbles of each participant. There is no need to queue up and wait. Just do it once. Anyway, the medicinal materials in the dream bubbles of all participants are the same.

It maximizes fairness and justice.

Doctor Zhang was very satisfied and felt good.

"It's worthy of being a competition personally instructed by Master Xuan, very good."

After exiting the dream, he said to his subordinate.

"Okay, I need to calmly retreat for the next three days. You pay attention to the news on the market and see if those famous people will participate."

Although Doctor Zhang is very arrogant, he also knows that he is not necessarily the strongest.

For example, those masters in big forces are his biggest opponents.

In addition, other tracks also need to be paid attention to.

He was able to research the Demon Pill and use fierce beasts as materials for alchemy because he was inspired by the wild Taoist.

Presumably, the wild Taoist is not participating in the alchemy competition.

In addition, the Chemical Engineering Doctor, this person also needs to be paid attention to.

However, this person's stronger talent is in materials, all kinds of research, and should not participate in alchemy.

The rest are the alchemy masters in the major forces. Although they are not very famous and are not known to everyone.

But Doctor Zhang was also in the organization before, and he understands very well that the talents inside this kind of powerful organization are like crucian carp crossing the river.

His great reputation is the Three Demonic Pills, which are highly pioneering.

However, in a one-on-one hard-bridge and hard-horse competition in alchemy, the control of the heat, the identification of spiritual herbs, etc., is really not as good as the alchemy masters in the big forces.

Especially the alchemy masters of the Taoist sect, who were once his enlightenment teachers.

His only hope of winning is innovation.

Thinking of this, Doctor Zhang made a decision. He is not strong in simply competing on proficiency and control of the furnace fire elixir.

He still has to show his housekeeping skills.

It was the same as he thought.

The Chemical Engineering Doctor of the Confucian School and the Wild Taoist of the Taoist School were invited to participate in the talisman competition.

Madman Yuan Tianchun also received an invitation for formation.

Even if the participating cultivators may only have three dates and two jujubes, it is also a project.

Elixir, Talisman, Tool, Spirit, Imperial, these are the five main events.

Although it is a hundred arts, those who understand understand, it is in name only.

At present, Qingyun Mountain cannot find a hundred kinds of skills.

But I have to say, there are really strange things.

Wang Ziháo, the host of the competition, was a little unsure after seeing some strange competitions.

As a last resort, he contacted Xuan Huang.

Just in time, Xuan Huang had just finished condensing the seventh Heavenly Pillar, his Qi Sea expanding to two hundred and ten zhang, and his physical body possessing a colossal strength of 2100 tons.

The Origin Spring within his Qi Sea had undergone a significant transformation, no longer a simple spring but a massive source of water, surging powerfully.

The seventh Heavenly Pillar was the first pillar of the Third Heavenly Gate. After it stood within the Qi Sea's mist, it connected with the three Heavenly Gates and linked with the previous six pillars.

A sense of stability directly suppressed the fluctuations that occurred when it first stood.

The Four Extremes and Twelve Heavenly Pillars had already triggered a chain reaction within Xuan Huang's plans.

This was due to Xuan Huang's research and experimentation with formations.

The formation of the seventh Heavenly Pillar provided stability to the pillars standing within the Qi Sea's mist.

Xuan Huang didn't even need to suppress it with his will to complete the erection of the seventh Heavenly Pillar.

Without a mistake, a first, an inner, a content, all in one look!

One must know that each of the twelve Heavenly Pillars was more difficult to erect than the last, yet Xuan Huang felt it was becoming easier.

This was the effect of the formation.

Even if it was useless to Xuan Huang, it at least verified the formation.

Afterward, Xuan Huang conducted another tempering of his seventh layer of will.

Under the combined force of two high-speed paths and one small path, the surging power of heaven and earth poured into the furnace.

The Heavenly Will Hammer also improved.

This pitiful hammer that received little attention grew stronger under Xuan Huang's gaze.

"The Four Extremes of Heaven and Earth, if the previous two Heavenly Gates were the two poles of Earth, then the Third Heavenly Gate is one pole of Heaven. The combined force of Heaven and Earth is why the Heavenly Will Hammer's strength hasn't increased, but its Dao essence and spiritual energy have become stronger."

Discovering that the Heavenly Will Hammer had become stronger, Xuan Huang deduced the reason with a simple calculation.

"Begin!"

Xuan Huang gave an order, his will entered the furnace, and the Heavenly Will Hammer fell.

"Boom!"

Xuan Huang trembled slightly.

"Why is it that every time I become stronger, the strongest move is always to use myself as the first target?"

Saying more would only make one uncomfortable.

Every time he became stronger, he was the first to be tempered.

However, the power of heaven and earth from the three gates and seven pillars was very strong, lasting for nearly a day and night before the first tempering of Xuan's Transformation of Will's seventh layer ended.

After calming down for a while, Sun Tong walked in.

"Master Xuan, Wang Zihao said he couldn't reach you. Did you just come out of seclusion?"

Currently, only she could enter Xuan Huang's resting room, and she happened to see Xuan Huang upon entering.

Xuan Huang looked at the messages. Wang Zihao had contacted him many times, but he hadn't seen them because he was in seclusion.

Wasn't it said that it would start in three days, which is tomorrow morning?

Why was he contacting him this morning?

Could it be that he encountered a problem?

"Tell him to go to the living room later."

After speaking, Xuan Huang, with Sun Tong's assistance, changed his clothes, putting on formal attire and taking off his training clothes.

Anyway, Xuan Huang was used to being helped with his clothes.

Under Sun Tong's arrangement, he wore a silver-white long shirt, and his hair was held up with a jade hairpin.

Due to the gradual increase in personnel in the Merit Hall, various regulations and rules appeared, coupled with the operation of the Dream World.

Currently, Sun Tong was much more relaxed, with some of the work being handed over to Deputy Director Xia Qing. She mainly took care of Xuan Huang's daily life and personal affairs.

Although Xuan Huang didn't have many personal affairs, and he didn't need to be taken care of.

"Wait, this button isn't buttoned properly, don't rush."

Wang Zihao, who was waiting in the living room, heard the voice and quickly stood up, but found that the voice was wrong.

At the door, Director Sun Tong was buttoning Master Xuan's buttons, and after buttoning them, she even tidied up Master Xuan's clothes.

This intimate attitude, Director Sun's little resentment, and Master Xuan's helplessness made him immediately sit down again as if he hadn't seen anything.

This was not something he should be seeing.

He only stood up and bowed to greet Xuan Huang when Xuan Huang entered.

"What is it?"

Wang Zihao wanted to perform well and exchange for Xuan Huang's guidance on spiritual root methods.

Therefore, he would not bother Xuan Huang unless it was a major event, as this would reduce Master Xuan's impression of him.

"Master Xuan, I am ashamed, I have encountered some difficult decisions, please take a look." Wang Zihao handed several documents to Xuan Huang.

Xuan Huang took it and looked, and it was indeed about the competition.

"Hmm, paper effigies, puppet techniques, vein-searching ore identification and sorting, Gu poison?"

After Xuan Huang finished reading, Wang Zihao said: "Master Xuan, I am at a loss after some cultivators signed up. Many skills are even only possessed by a few people, or one person..."

After Wang Zihao finished speaking, Xuan Huang roughly understood.

Although the main events of this competition were Dan (Pills), Qi (Artifacts), Ling (Spirits), Fu (Talismans), and Yu (Beasts), with Ling being spiritual plants and demonic plant cultivation, and Yu being beast taming.

Many cultivators responded, why weren't there events for what they were good at?

For example, vein-searching ore refining, such as poisonous insect Gu breeding, such as curses, and even those who wanted to brew spirit wine or weave spirit clothes.

It would be fine if many people participated in these unpopular arts, but some only had a few people or one person, how could they compete?

It seemed like trouble, but Xuan Huang didn't think so. In his opinion, these were all valuable assets.

These people were likely to be the future founders of the hundred arts of Azure Cloud Mountain.

"Like this, projects with less than ten people will be directly canceled. This is your first time organizing it, and you don't have much experience. Focus on the five major projects of Dan, Qi, Ling, Fu, and Yu.

Don't set strict rules for small projects. For those with more than ten people, gather them together for exchange and competition."

Xuan Huang added: "Of course, it's not directly withdrawing and not letting them participate. You should collect statistics on those projects with less than ten people and ask them if they are willing to join the Merit Hall. In the future, the Merit Hall will directly take over, and the Merit Hall can meet their resource needs if they want to break through their skills in the future."

He also said: "In addition, don't be greedy and try to swallow more than you can chew for the first time, and you don't have experience. Focus on the five major projects for competition, and other small projects can be more relaxed."

As Xuan Huang finished speaking, Wang Zihao breathed a sigh of relief.

This was much simpler.

The main thing was the competition of the five major projects. Those with less than ten people in the small projects would directly let them join the Merit Hall and belong to Master Xuan's subordinates in the future.

And those with more than ten people would compare among themselves, select the strongest ten, and then ask them where they wanted to join?

If they wanted to go to a large force, they could go to a large force, if they wanted to be rogue cultivators, they could continue to be rogue cultivators, and if they wanted to join the Merit Hall, they could join the Merit Hall.

These people were all future hundred arts founder-level figures and needed to be cultivated well.

The Merit Hall was currently very well organized, the mechanism had been established, and bringing these people into the Merit Hall would allow them to study their unique hundred arts wholeheartedly.

"Master Xuan, this method is good. I think those fellow Daoists will not refuse the opportunity to access the Merit Hall. I will go and arrange it now."

Wang Zihao said.

"Okay, go."

"Yes!"
