My construction materials are weird

"Let me introduce you all, these are from the ancient world, this is the patriarch of the Dongyi tribe from the ancient world, Jiuli, and this is the High Priest of the Dongyi tribe, Fengshan God Priest. These two come from a world extremely similar to our ancient times..."

Sun Tong emphasized the introduction to everyone.

The people from the small world didn't quite understand, but the cultivators from the main world were surprised.

It turned out to be an ancient world extremely similar to their own race.

"Patriarch Jiuli's tribe previously, due to totem worship and divine beasts..."

Sun Tong then explained the extraordinary aspects of their world.

Everyone finally understood why they were so strange. They were treating everyone else as creatures from other tribes, and even regarded Xuanshi as gods.

Because the totem gods they belonged to were different, they were afraid of being killed by Xuanhuang God, so they were cautious in everything they did.

It wasn't until they figured out the truth and wanted to communicate with everyone that they were already met with exclusion.

"The totem gods of the ancient world have disappeared, presumably due to strange anomalies going out of control or being Dao-ified. Currently, there are no extraordinary beings in the ancient world.

However, there are strange existences similar to those in our main world.

The ancient world has a vast area, with many entry-level ferocious beasts, and some bloodline divine beasts from the previous totem divine beasts... In short, it is a barbaric world, but with abundant resources.

The ancient world has granted development rights to the Merit Hall. Originally, our Merit Hall would not have accepted it. We are, to put it bluntly, employees of the Xuanshi, doing what we can for the Xuanshi. Developing worlds is not our forte, nor do we like it.

But the ancient world is very special... I think everyone can understand, whether it is a world like our human ancestor or not.

Since Patriarch Jiuli entrusted us with the Merit Hall, we agreed."

With Sun Tong's explanation.

Everyone understood the reason. The ancient world was too special, extremely similar to the era of the human ancestor of Xia Country.

Therefore, the Merit Hall, which does not participate in the development of small worlds, took the lead out of consideration for the 'similar human ancestor'.

This was also Jiuli's intention, at least to treat the ancient world gently in the name of 'true or false'.

"The ancient world not only lacks extraordinary Taoist techniques, but also extremely lacks resources such as food, and even the level of civilization needs support.

I'm not forcing it, everyone, please lend a hand. The Merit Hall will provide the resources, but various talents, especially educational talents, need your support.

Even ordinary people are fine, teaching knowledge or something is always possible..."

In short, it's begging for alms.

It means that those who have the manpower should contribute their manpower, and those who have the money should contribute their money, and everyone should help this 'ancestral world'.

"Of course, it's not without rewards. You won't be asked to only give without return. According to Patriarch Jiuli's description, the previous divine beast totem in the ancient world is a huge treasure. Some spirit beasts and ferocious beasts containing the bloodline of the previous divine beasts are very magical.

There are also many medicinal herbs and spiritual plants. Because Patriarch Jiuli and the others didn't understand or know how to use them before, many spiritual medicines can be said to be all over the mountains and fields..."

This huge temptation came down, and many people's eyes lit up.

The Qi of Gang Sha is something that many cultivators always mention.

Because the current main world and small world have not discovered it, Xuanshi has not created a method for using Gang Sha.

But they firmly believe that this kind of Gang Sha must exist.

Now, it really appeared, and dreams came true.

Every time a new divine anomaly appears, it can always accomplish some cultivators and allow them to rise because of it.

Why isn't the emergence of Gang Sha another enhancement of one's own power?

Not to mention the divine beast bloodline that Supervisor Sun said, the spiritual medicines all over the mountains and fields, etc.

This kind of barren world has this advantage. The resources are abundant, and almost no large-scale development by human cultivators has taken place.

The previously connected worlds were all very mature worlds, and the resources had already been utilized to almost the same extent.

Even if there are any, they exist in dangerous places, or are pitifully few and need to be carefully searched for.

Seeing the eager crowd, Sun Tong knew it was done.

Therefore, she said: "Patriarch Jiuli, tell me your thoughts."

"Thank you, Goddess." Jiuli bowed to Sun Tong, this was newly learned.

In the past, they would only kneel and worship, kneeling and worshiping the strong and the divine beast totem.

Sun Tong was very satisfied that he called himself Goddess.

The woman of God, who is God? Naturally, it is Xuanshi, and she is the woman of Xuanshi.

In fact, Jiuli's Goddess is a servant and slave of God, a maid who serves God.

In short: Goddess.

The High Priest felt it the most deeply, isn't this his position?

He is a servant of God, and this woman is a Goddess.

If he knew that this woman called herself the woman of God, the High Priest would go crazy. How dare a little female slave妄想想 to be the woman of God.

In our place, this idea would be dismembered and fed to wild animals.

"The previous misunderstandings have caused estrangement between us. Our ancient world is also one of the subjects of Xuanhuang God..."

Jiuli said the words he had practiced for a long time, trying to get closer to the communication methods of the main world.

As for calling him Xuanhuang God?

Xuanhuang is used to it.

There are all kinds of titles, everyone has a different Xuanhuang in their hearts, and each world will have its own titles, so let everyone call it whatever they want.

It is currently difficult to unify everyone's ideas.

"...We are very backward, we are very barren, some Taoist friends call us natives, we are not actually angry. We can't even reach the standards of natives. Perhaps natives and barbarians are the most appropriate names for us."

Patriarch Jiuli came up and belittled himself, jokingly resolving the previous misunderstandings.

Everyone smiled slightly, thinking that this person was very good, as expected of a patriarch.

Adding the aura of the Jiuli tribe, everyone instantly recognized with double standards that Jiuli was a character, and everyone had misunderstood him before.

Who would you say the patriarch of the Jiuli tribe is comparable to in the main world?

That is the first demon god, the master of war, one of the three human ancestors, and Chi You, the iron-eating beast of a mount.

With such a comparison, isn't Jiuli the original version of Chi You in the ancient world?

With this aura added to him, everyone's views instantly changed, and there was even a hint of respect and admiration.

It's so right.

"...I hope that you Taoist friends can develop the ancient world in a cyclical manner, the kind of win-win situation that the God Lord said, you will gain, and our world can also progress. In addition, my old rivals Xuanyuan and Shennong, I will treat them equally and not embarrass everyone. In the future, the three of us..."

Jiuli had done his homework.

Among the three, his reputation seemed to be the worst.

He needed to bring in strong reinforcements, these two were very good, good guys, their reputation and noble status were much stronger than his own.

Even if they are not the true three ancestors of Xia Country.

But can they get a little bit of the light?

As for the previous battles and conflicts between the three tribes, they were long gone, and they were gone when the weirdness revived.

They are all human beings, all struggling hard.

What hegemony, what for the tribe, what for the race, all do not exist.

Just negotiate, he has made such a big contribution, it's no problem to be the leader, right?

Sure enough, mentioning Shennong and Xuanyuan, except for those in the small world who didn't feel it deeply, everyone in the main world was a little crazy.

Everything can be replaced equally.

After Jiuli finished speaking, Sun Tong said: "It seems that everyone is very interested, that's good. After the meeting, you can discuss with Patriarch Jiuli, formulate a plan, and come to me to sign an agreement after both parties agree. You can then proceed according to the agreement between you.

But..."

Sun Tong reminded: "But everyone must understand that once the agreement is signed and notarized by the Merit Hall, do not violate the clauses in the agreement. If anyone violates it, the Merit Hall will intervene, and the Xuanshi will also pay attention."

Everyone nodded to show they understood.

They are not stupid, no one should make a mistake, Sun Tong is just a rational reminder.

"Alright, now that the matters have been discussed, does anyone have any issues that require the Merit Hall to mediate? Speak up if you do, otherwise, the meeting is adjourned."

After arranging the matters regarding the Xuan Master's seclusion, Sun Tong routinely asked everyone if there were any issues that needed the Merit Hall's mediation.

If not, the meeting would be adjourned.

"Hall Master Sun, my Weapon Refinement Alliance has a matter that needs to be discussed."

Zong Qicheng stood up and responded.

"Alliance Leader Zong, please speak."

Seeing that someone needed to negotiate, Sun Tong gestured for Zong Qicheng to continue.

"Yes!"

Zong Qicheng cupped his hands towards Sun Tong, then began, "It's about the issue of Black Gold. Due to most of the experts recently returning to Qingyun Mountain for seclusion, the offensive against the Blood Soul Realm has slowed down, and the acquisition of Black Gold has decreased sharply…"

Zong Qicheng's words caused the high-level members of the eleven forces present to frown.

This Weapon Refinement Alliance is truly troublesome, always causing unrest.

They just formed and already filed a complaint against the four major forces, are they going to file another complaint now?

"Alliance Leader Zong, you must understand that we have no obligation to cooperate with the Weapon Refinement Alliance. Cultivation is the key. Our choice to seclude ourselves is a personal decision. If the Weapon Refinement Alliance lacks Black Gold, can't they just wait?"

Jiu Da said with some dissatisfaction.

"That's right, Fellow Daoist Jiu Da is right."

Jiu Da's words represented everyone's feelings.

No one has the obligation to cooperate with the Weapon Refinement Alliance to mine Black Gold for their use.

"Since that's the case, then the pre-ordered weapon embryos will also have to wait. We in the Weapon Refinement Alliance also need to cultivate."

Zong Qicheng directly retorted.

"This?"

The eleven people were dumbfounded.

How should one describe the Weapon Refinement Alliance? It's the most loosely organized alliance. Eighty percent of the members are both part of the Weapon Refinement Alliance and hold dual identities in the major forces.

Zong Qicheng was not afraid of these major forces targeting him. 'Come at me,' he thought, 'and see who gets hurt.'

Moreover, if a force wants to survive, besides having strength, it also needs to have its own personality.

The personality of the Weapon Refinement Alliance is just like this, a firecracker that explodes at the slightest touch.

They filed a complaint against the four major forces as soon as they were established, wanting to continue their excellent style.

In addition, the sooner they get the weapon embryos, the better, the sooner they can refine them.

And the Weapon Refinement Alliance is currently the largest supplier of weapon embryos.

Don't even mention that Qingyun Mountain is a gathering place for geniuses, and they can also refine weapon embryos themselves?

It's better to spend that effort on cultivation, or to earn merit points.

Why insist on doing something you're not good at?

In the highly competitive Qingyun Mountain, wasting time is equivalent to wasting a spot on the mountain.

The more time you waste, the more likely you are to be squeezed out and forced to leave Qingyun Mountain.

But the Weapon Refinement Alliance is professional. They can enhance their cultivation while refining weapons. That's what you call weapon refinement talent.

Qingyun Mountain has a gathering of elites, but not many have both weapon refinement talent and cultivation talent maxed out.

After Zong Qicheng retorted strongly, everyone fell silent.

"Ahem!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was cold, Sun Tong tried to smooth things over, "Everyone, don't be angry, let's discuss things calmly."

These large force gatherings in Qingyun Mountain are divided into two types.

One is when the Xuan Master summons everyone. This is the highest-level meeting in Qingyun Mountain. The leaders of the various major forces must attend unless they are absent.

The second type is a meeting presided over by Sun Tong. These meetings are mostly to resolve conflicts between the major forces. They don't rise to the level of major events and don't require the Xuan Master's arrangement. They are all resolved in this type of meeting.

Therefore, there are many disputes and conflicts in the second type of meeting. In Xuanhuang's presence, it's always 'you're good, I'm good, everyone's good,' and everyone doesn't dare to argue in front of the Xuan Master.

So, the second type of meeting has become a place for the major forces to bicker and argue.

"Chief Steward Sun, please forgive me, it's my fault, I have a bad temper."

Zong Qicheng immediately took the opportunity to back down.

But then he said, "Chief Steward Sun, you understand our Weapon Refinement Alliance. Eighty percent of the alliance members are from various families. These members, from their own perspectives, always hope to allocate more weapon embryo quotas to their own forces… This is human nature, I understand, after all, everyone is biased towards their own forces.

But… the recent shortage of Black Gold has become a huge contradiction."

Saying that, he looked at the leaders of the eleven forces and said, "Everyone, ask yourselves, if eighty percent of your sect's members were acting on their own, fighting each other fiercely, and even hatred and conflicts arose, would you tolerate it?

Are you going to cause turmoil in my Weapon Refinement Alliance because you lack embryos?

Everyone… I, Zong Qicheng, am putting my words out there, at worst, the Weapon Refinement Alliance will disband, this job can't be done."

It's no wonder Zong Qicheng was so tough with everyone.

It was really due to special reasons.

Eighty percent of the alliance members are from the major forces.

They may have been instructed by the higher-ups of the major forces to try to get more benefits for their own families.

Every major force is calculating this way, so these Weapon Refinement Alliance members with dual identities in the major forces naturally had infighting within the Weapon Refinement Alliance.

No one is wrong, one head, one hair, one inside, one appearance, one existence, one look!

Anyone who becomes the leader of the Weapon Refinement Alliance would be angry.

"Amitabha, everything is negotiable. Alliance Leader Zong, please calm your anger."

Master Jingguang mediated.

The leaders of these forces were also quite embarrassed, it seemed like they would act the same way if they were Zong Qicheng.

"Fellow Daoists, I'm not just throwing a tantrum for no reason. You're all anxious, but that's actually a good thing, it means our Weapon Refinement Alliance is doing good business, we're happy… But, you can't not give us materials and still expect us to refine embryos out of thin air? That's not reasonable!"

"Everyone, isn't that the logic?"

Zong Qicheng said, his threat to disband was naturally fake, just a small tactic, everyone understood.

"That makes sense…"

Meng Qiao said, "Alliance Leader Zong, how about this, after the meeting, we discuss it separately?"

"We will try our best to allocate manpower to expand the Black Gold Secret Realm. Now that the Qingyun Boat connects various places, we can mobilize more manpower from the newly opened thirteen regions, and we will definitely not lack Black Gold for the Weapon Refinement Alliance, what do you think?"

As long as it could be resolved, Zong Qicheng naturally agreed.

"Okay, let's leave it at that. You go back and discuss it, and try to prioritize cooperation, don't hurt the friendship."

Sun Tong summarized:

"Also… after you high-level members go back, restrain yourselves a bit. Even if the members of the Weapon Refinement Alliance have dual identities, you can't instruct your subordinates to compete and snatch resources in the Weapon Refinement Alliance. That's not right, what do you all think?"

It must be said that Zong Qicheng's meaning also had this aspect.

Sun Tong was growing very quickly and could already handle many problems with ease.

She could also cleverly point out the core of the problem.

Sure enough, after Sun Tong said this, Zong Qicheng's face was immediately full of smiles.

"Definitely, definitely."

The leaders of the major forces all 'guaranteed that it wouldn't happen next time'.

"Does any other Fellow Daoist have matters to discuss?"

After another matter was successfully concluded, Sun Tong continued to ask.

Just as she finished speaking, Zhu Changxun from the High School Alliance stood up and said, "Reporting to Chief Steward Sun, previously the Xuan Master instructed my High School Alliance to assist student Liu Wenhe… Now that the air routes have opened, many systems have not yet been completed, mainly the merit points for riding the Qingyun Boat have not yet been determined…?"

"The Xuan Master instructed me about this before. I originally wanted to send a message with the merit point badge after the meeting ended."

Sun Tong nodded to indicate that she understood what Zhu Changxun was asking.

She continued, "According to the Xuan Master's intention, flying shuttles are mainly for the benefit of cultivators, so not many merit points are needed. Regardless of distance, it is currently one merit point per stop."

Sun Tong emphasized 'currently'.

This meant that there would be adjustments in the future, but currently it was one merit point per stop, feel free to ride.

After all, the Qingyun Boat's voyage does not require wasting resources, the Four Poles and Twelve Heavenly Pillars Array provides energy, which is equal to no consumption.

Speaking of this, Sun Tong asked Meng Qiao, "Mr. Meng, how are the merit point badges issued by your new government for spirit masters doing?"

Meng Qiao stood up and said, "Reporting to Chief Steward Sun, the merit point badges have only been on sale for two days, and sales are currently good. The spirit masters of Haidai Province recognize our Qingyun Mountain's merit point system."

"The points exchange centers in major cities are opening in an orderly manner. Spirit Masters will be able to ride the Azure Cloud Boat with their points cards in the future… I think Spirit Masters will gradually purchase and exchange them for travel convenience."

"Good, Spirit Masters will receive the same treatment, one point per stop. This is the Mystic Master's requirement."

Sun Tong said with satisfaction.

"Yes, we will send the message down," Meng Qiao said.

Zhu Changxun also sat down happily upon hearing this, his problem resolved.

Whether Spirit Masters or Cultivators, it's one point per stop. The points cards issued to Spirit Masters by the new government are also being slowly accepted by them.

"… …"

"Chief Steward Sun, the new government has something to report and hopes for guidance from Azure Cloud Mountain," Meng Qiao said.

Sun Tong: "Speak."

Meng Qiao: "It's about the issue of spirit beasts. Currently, as the Spirit Beast Sect's Beast Taming Tokens become more and more accepted, many cultivators in Nan City are purchasing Beast Taming Tokens and driving spirit beasts in the city area.

Some spirit beasts are enormous. Although they are not dangerous, they are still very troublesome for ordinary people.

In addition, whether it is flying spirit beasts or land spirit beasts, they are causing great obstruction to traffic.

Not many cultivators in Nan City can afford spirit beasts now, but in the future, spirit beast traffic jams and an overabundance of spirit beasts are bound to occur.

In order to prevent problems before they arise, the new government hopes that Azure Cloud Mountain can provide insightful guidance and, ideally, restrain cultivators from driving spirit beasts in the city."

Another new problem.

Recently, many new problems caused by the emergence of cultivators have been resolved.

In particular, the rise of the Hundred Arts seems to be all benefits, but in fact, it is not, and it will also bring trouble.

What Meng Qiao said is one such trouble.

You cannot stop people from showing off.

Having purchased a rideable spirit beast, how can you not show off by riding it?

But if there are too many people riding spirit beasts, it will lead to traffic problems.

Fortunately, spirit beasts are controlled, and Azure Cloud Mountain's education of cultivators is also very strict, and there have been no incidents of indulgence in spirit beasts hurting people.

"What are your thoughts?" Sun Tong asked.

To be honest, he was not good at this kind of problem. Meng Qiao's words sounded nice, such as giving insightful guidance, but it was just something to listen to and not take seriously.

"The new government's idea is that it is better to guide than to block," Meng Qiao responded.

"Explain in detail," Sun Tong said.

Meng Qiao: "An immediate ban is unrealistic. Not to mention that everyone is just riding them and hasn't caused other losses. If we ban them indiscriminately, it will obviously make cultivators dissatisfied.

Not to mention that spirit beasts are not only riding tools but also helpers in battle. Riding them usually can also hone control…"

Halfway through his opening remarks, Sun Tong knew that the new government, or rather the Confucian School, already had a plan.

What insightful guidance… nonsense.

They just wanted him to give the go-ahead and represent the Mystic Master's name.

"… Therefore, we think that charging fees can solve the problem. As long as you pay points, you can drive in the city, as long as you don't damage other people's property and safety."

Sun Tong fell into deep thought after Meng Qiao finished speaking.

And Sun Bole breathed a sigh of relief nervously.

After all, this concerns the future of his Spirit Beast Sect. If it is directly banned, the Spirit Beast Sect will lose many sales channels and many points.

Although high-end spirit beasts are expensive, the low-level spirit beasts that sell in bulk, especially those for transportation, showing off, and household use by cultivators, are the main source of points.

He was really afraid of a direct ban.

Fortunately, fortunately.

Sun Tong thought for a while, the Confucian School obviously had a plan, so he should just agree as usual.

So he said: "In principle, I agree with this method. Analyze specific problems specifically. A one-size-fits-all approach is not advisable. Since the new government has come to this method in practice, we will give full affirmation to the people below and let them boldly practice…"

Sun Tong spoke a lot of roundabout words.

Everyone who understands understands, I don’t have any responsibility. If there is a problem, it is your problem, not my problem.

But if there are achievements, it is under the insightful guidance of Azure Cloud Mountain.

"Yes, Chief Steward Sun," Meng Qiao said.

"Thank you, Chief Steward Sun."

With the matter settled, Sun Bole also stood up happily and cupped his fist at Sun Tong.

Everyone who understands understands.

This is, after all, their money bag.

"… …"

"Chief Steward Sun, we are wronged!"

The vice pavilion master, Fatty, of Hundred Herb Pavilion also has a problem.

"Our poisons and disposable magic plants are for dealing with enemies. Just like a kitchen knife can cut vegetables and kill people, you can't say that we who sell kitchen knives are murderers… Some cultivators use our poisons and magic plants to harm people, and the victims are actually suing our Hundred Herb Pavilion…"

Sun Tong: "No need to pay attention. I have heard of it, but I will not uphold justice for these people. The rules of the cultivator world were formulated by the Mystic Master after soliciting everyone's opinions. It is a cruel world. If you don't want to be treated cruelly, don't set foot in cultivation.

Since you have set foot in cultivation, don't think that we will protect them in the same way that we protect ordinary people. Not to mention unreasonable accusations, even if they are really targeted by enemies who are also cultivators, then fight back yourself.

… We will not deal with this kind of cultivator's accusation in the Hall of Merit, unless it involves ordinary people or has a wide impact."

"Thank you, Chief Steward Sun," Fatty said.

When the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds. There are not a few of these kinds of accusations, and 90% of them are unreasonable.

Most of them are recently transitioned from ordinary people to the cultivator track.

Perhaps they were too well protected during their time as ordinary people. When they first entered the cultivator track, they were not used to it and thought that they would be protected because they were weak.

The world of cultivators is not like this. It is a cruel competition personally formulated by Xuan Huang.

Protecting ordinary people is protecting the sea, because without the sea, the cultivator fish fry will be cut off at the root.

But once you become a fish, become a cultivator, you must follow the rules of the big fish eating the small fish.

This kind of atmosphere has been around for some time recently, and 99% of them are from ordinary people who have just become cultivators and have not yet changed.

Sun Tong's answer made everyone present breathe a sigh of relief.

They are all large forces, they all have their own basic disk, and they have all been sued.

With this statement from the Hall of Merit, everyone will be much more at ease in the future.

"… …"

"Chief Steward Sun, the opening of the Azure Cloud Boat may bring a short-term surge in the number of people. The new planning of Nan City…"

Sun Tong: "You can handle this as you see fit, but pay attention to the reserve of supplies."

"… …"

"Chief Steward Sun, after nearly half a year of summary and research, we have sorted out various precious bodies, divine souls, magical auras (Dao Embryos, Immortal Embryos), etc., but it is not perfect, it is a sum of time… We want to put it into the Dream World for points exchange…"

Sun Tong: "This is very well done. Di Ting Tower deserves praise. I agree with your idea. You can put it into the Dream World as a material for points learning. You must continue to maintain it, integrate and sort it out, and formulate standards. It is a meaningful and great thing."

"… …"

"Chief Steward Sun, the construction of the Dao Lord Divine Hall in various places has begun, with different progress… I think the work of the Dao Lord Divine Hall can be handed over. It is still better for those temple priests and believers to manage themselves."

Sun Tong: "Okay, I'll take some time to take a look after a while."

"… …"

It's over.

Many problems have been resolved, and many problems need to be observed, involving all aspects.

After Xuan Huang's seclusion, Azure Cloud Mountain did not stop and has been moving forward.

… …

PS: I wish you all a happy new year, good luck in the Year of the Dragon, good health, and all the best.

Zui Yue wishes everyone a happy new year.
