My construction materials are weird

Indeed, despite everyone's joy at the congratulations and pleasantries, nothing was as shocking as hearing about the demonic yin essence.

No wonder the price of demons has always been higher than that of fierce beasts of the same rank. I thought it was just that demons were stronger, but I never expected them to have this ability.

Although most first-tier Profound Transformations don't have it, it doesn't prevent everyone from making far-sighted plans in advance after hearing about it. This is the importance of having an expert to guide you.

Without an expert's guidance, you can only understand it when you reach a certain level.

And some hints are irreversible. When you reach a certain level, you will find that it is too late.

Ji Zhongfu, as a second-tier cultivator, felt that he had gained a lot. He also needed to understand the opposition of yin and yang to improve.

Because of his own sufficient accumulation, the experience of the ancestors, and the experience of countless experts before him, he knew more about this.

But knowing more is just knowing. There is no way to quickly make up for the balance of yin and yang.

What Fellow Daoist Sun Tong conveyed on his behalf was a way to reduce the understanding of yin and yang.

Directly refining and absorbing demons can reduce the time.

Ji Zhongfu pondered for a while, thinking that it was actually complementary to the Invincible Dharma of the Xuan Master.

The Invincible Dharma of the Xuan Master is so strong, largely because it refines all things to strengthen itself.

Anything can be refined to achieve oneself.

If this were placed in my previous world, it would have to be strictly reviewed, and even defined as a demonic art.

There is also a more interesting point.

Demonic arts often appear suddenly in a normal world as an evil technique.

However, the Invincible Dharma of the Xuan Master was born in a distorted world, refining the distorted Invincible Dharma.

This is a very difficult scene to describe.

In a great world of cultivating immortality and seeking the Dao, the will of heaven is stable, there are many famous and upright sects, and countless righteous techniques. Suddenly, a demonic technique that devours people appears, and everyone will feel nervous and uneasy.

But now the main world is a world gone mad, a world devouring people, and the Xuanhuang techniques are not so special.

There is also the influence of the environment.

[The first place in this personal contribution, as expected, is Sect Leader Yuan Tianchun, a disciple of the Xuan Master. Now, according to the Xuan Master's instructions, the rewards will be distributed. Please Sect Leader Yuan Tianchun come forward...]

Yuan Tianchun, whose name was called, cupped his hands to everyone, smiled, and stepped forward.

Congratulations, Sect Leader Yuan.

Sun Tong also congratulated him.

"Thank you, Xuan Master, thank you, Chief Manager Sun." As he spoke, Yuan Tianchun took the reward for the first contributor.

The most important thing is the second-tier Star-Swallowing Vine Spirit Seed.

It means that as long as there is energy provided, this natal spirit plant can be raised to the second-tier level.

The individual combat power of the cultivator is indirectly raised to the second tier.

[The first major force in contribution is the Martial Dao Alliance. Let us congratulate the Martial Dao Alliance. The Xuan Master said that you should make persistent efforts...]

Sun Tong announced the first major force in contribution with a smile.

Sun Hui also cupped his hands with a happy smile.

[The Xuan Master has already placed the rewards in the Dream World. Chief Manager Sun can go to the Dream World to collect them. Choose one of the three great divine abilities.]

"Thank you, Xuan Master, our Martial Dao Alliance chooses 'Law, Heaven, and Earth'."

Although Xuanhuang was not present, the ceremony was still necessary, and it was best to say it on the spot, so that it would seem that the Martial Dao Alliance was not hiding anything.

And Sun Hui's choice of the Martial Dao Alliance was within everyone's expectations.

Yan Lai looked tangled. He was not happy that the first contribution force was taken by the Martial Dao Alliance.

It was also difficult to explain to his fellow disciples that this was because they had not commanded well, and it was a mistake at the leadership level.

There was nothing to say about this, and most of the reason was his own fault.

To be honest, they had always thought that the first contribution force would be either the Confucian School or the Daoist School. After all, whether in terms of superficial or real strength, these two were the strongest.

If they were also divided into the four major and the lower four major.

The Confucian School and the Daoist School are the strongest of the four major, and the Buddhist School and the Martial Dao Alliance are a little weaker of the four major.

They never expected to collect corpses and become the first, they really didn't expect it.

"No need to blame yourself, Headmaster. It's a good thing, at least it's not the Daoist School that is first," Meng Qiao comforted.

"Although that's true, it's still because we didn't consider it well. It's a negligence of our command level. Our pure strength and contribution are the most. Who would have thought that adding the factor of collecting corpses... No wonder Old Daoist Jiutong said that collecting corpses is very important. I thought he wanted to win over Sun Hui, but now I understand that it's because he saw that our contribution to killing enemies was not as good as theirs, so he increased the proportion of contribution for collecting corpses."

Yan Lai seemed to understand the strange scene of the discussion yesterday.

Jiutong was not confident, and in order to prevent the Confucian School from getting the first place, he strongly supported the idea that collecting corpses was also a great contribution.

Adding it up like this, although the Martial Dao Alliance had the least real contribution to killing enemies, it became the first after adding the proportion of collecting corpses.

"I think so too," Zeng Wu nodded and said.

"Let the old Daoist calculate. Haha, that's good... But what? When it comes to playing tricks, we scholars are the experts. They calculated me?... Let them calculate then."

Yan Lai said something incomprehensible for no reason.

After speaking, he ignored everyone's doubts and turned his head to look at Jiutong with a smile.

Coincidentally, Jiutong was looking at him.

Seeing Yan Lai looking at him, Jiutong was a little cramped for no reason, but it disappeared in an instant. He still smiled and cupped his hands at him.

"Headmaster, it seems that we have been discovered," Jiutong's junior brother Jiuda said.

"It doesn't matter. It's normal to be discovered. Their Confucian School has not pitted us before. We are just 'repaying' a little. The Martial Dao Alliance is ultimately insufficient in foundation. Even if they have this divine ability, it will be difficult for them to surpass the Buddhist School, let alone surpass us and the Confucian School... But the Confucian School is already strong, and with the current official support, it has already surpassed us. We can't let them continue to grow stronger. This is not only my idea. Didn't you see the bald donkey's cooperation yesterday?"

Jiuda recalled the seemingly silent Minghui yesterday, and now he understood.

This bald donkey was cooperating with himself. No wonder it was so easy to pass yesterday.

"Yan Lai has been a little arrogant recently. According to his wisdom, he should have seen through it easily, but this guy has been arrogant recently, and people who are arrogant are prone to making mistakes. He should actually thank me. It was I who made him return from his lost way," Jiutong said calmly.

But the joy in his words could not be concealed.

It's just that the skin on his face didn't fluctuate much, so you couldn't see what he was feeling.

"Headmaster is wise. Mr. Yan Lai does need to thank you. From the time he publicly educated his disciples some time ago, to the touching scene of 'bearing' with the Doctor, and then to the Black Gold Battlefield where he was the leader, all these things combined have indeed made him arrogant."

Jiutong said: "Therefore, people can't be arrogant. If they are arrogant, they must be educated."

And on the other side...

“Venerable Abbot, all the fault lies with True Man Jiutong. Although you were involved, no one can bring themselves to resent you, haha… Next, the Confucian and Daoist schools will have a good fight, allowing us to catch our breath and develop discreetly.”

Amidst a group of senior monks, Grandmaster Jinguang said to Minghui.

“Amitabha, this old monk did nothing. This old monk merely gave a benevolent push… Furthermore, remember that petty tricks are just petty tricks. Such underhanded methods are ultimately minor paths. You can give them a push, but don't specialize in researching and seeking them out. If you do, you will ultimately stray onto a misguided path, unable to achieve great things. This is by no means great wisdom.”

While acknowledging his own contribution, Minghui didn't forget to educate his subordinates.

Such things should only be used when the opportunity arises, but using them as the primary means is a lower-grade approach.

Relying on such methods will not lead to significant achievements.

He feared that his fellow disciples would stray onto the wrong path, so he spoke loudly.

“Amitabha, we respectfully abide by the Abbot's teachings,” the monks hurriedly realized.

At this time, Abbess Baichan asked, “Abbot, although the Confucian and Daoist schools didn't come out on top, the Martial Dao Alliance will also increase its strength as a result. We also need to be careful. Although the Martial Dao Alliance still has a gap compared to us, it is developing very quickly. On the surface, its high-level combat power is not inferior to ours. What it lacks is only insufficient foundation.”

After Abbess Baichan finished speaking, the monks fell into contemplation.

Being classified as one of the lower four was already a humiliation. Their Buddhist school had always been on par with the Confucian and Daoist schools.

Now that they had become third, they were ultimately declining.

“It doesn't matter. Two grandmasters in seclusion are about to break through to the Transcendent Realm, and at the same time…”

Minghui waved his hand, isolating the surroundings so that his words could not be heard.

“At the same time, Grandmaster Sweeping Monk is about to break through, becoming the first Dream Cultivation Transcendent.”

No mistake, one head, one hair, one inside, one appearance, one look!

“What?”

“Grandmaster Sweeping Monk is about to break through?”

After Sweeping Monk communicated with the wild Daoist of the doctorate, he began to prepare for the breakthrough.

In order to break through, he didn't even go to the Black Gold Secret Realm War this time, just to break through to the Transcendent Realm.

Now that everything was ready, he only needed to break into the Transcendent Realm.

The reason why his breakthrough was so sensational was also because he was the first Dream Cultivation Transcendent. The impact of this was equivalent to the grand occasion when Minghui and the other three abbots first broke through to the Transcendent Realm.

It represented that besides the three invincible fundamental methods, other methods of the Mystic Master had also produced Transcendent experts.

“Although the combat power after Dream Cultivation Transcendence is not as good as the three fundamental methods, Grandmaster Sweeping Monk has a very clear understanding of his own position and has a pure Buddhist heart. He knows that he is better at assisting, so after the grandmaster breaks through to the Transcendent Realm, he will promote the changes brought about by the blessing method and a series of blessing methods. Moreover…”

Minghui continued, “Moreover, the grandmaster is not only the first in Dream Cultivation, but also created blessing and consecration methods. The Mystic Master has explained that such cultivators will be granted innate Qi seeds upon breakthrough. Once we have two Transcendent experts with innate Qi seeds…”

It seemed there was no need to describe it in detail. Innate Qi seeds were equivalent to guaranteed advancement to the fourth rank.

Although not absolute, as long as they didn't fall, there was a great chance.

“Therefore, we don't need to rush. Let's take our time. It's hard to say who will be strong or weak in the future,” Minghui said confidently.

“Amitabha!”

The monks responded happily.

They seemed to have forgotten that the Martial Dao Alliance had five Mystic Master disciples.

Compared to Transcendent experts with innate Qi seeds, the Martial Dao Alliance would be the best buy in the future.

The monks were not stupid. The abbot had already said so, so why would you continue to question and expose it?

Your Buddhist heart is not sincere.

Moreover, shouldn't these headache problems be for the Confucian and Daoist schools to worry about?

What does it have to do with our current third and possibly fourth-ranked force?

…

After receiving the reward, Sun Hui returned to the stage. The high-level members of the Martial Dao Alliance were all very happy.

They didn't want to know how others saw them, but they themselves were getting happier the more they looked at themselves.

This was certain. If they didn't have confidence in themselves, what future would they have?

Putting aside everything else, with Sun Hui, the leader, being Transcendent, and Guan Dao and Divine Spear being two Transcendent experts, they were originally the faction among the four with the most Transcendent experts.

It was just that the three major factions had been exerting their strength recently. They had more experts to begin with, and now each family had three or four Transcendent experts.

The Martial Dao Alliance, which had been number one for only a few days, was overthrown.

But they were not worried. The Mystic Master had ten disciples, and the Martial Dao Alliance occupied five of them. What else could they ask for?

Sun Hui was already Transcendent, and Song Hongliang, Wu Gang, and Jin Ning seemed young, but they were ultimately disciples of the ten great disciples. They had both luck and opportunities.

At the latest, in a month or two, the three of them would also have the ability to possibly step into the Transcendent Realm.

And Zhao Long, another one, had already reached perfection. In a week at the earliest and a month at the latest, he would step into the Transcendent level.

These were all cultivators with eleven Dao inscriptions, disciples of the Mystic Master who were personally granted innate Qi seeds. Such Transcendents had a gold content far exceeding ordinary Transcendents.

A promising future was not just talk.

It was something that the people of the Martial Dao Alliance could truly see.

And now, they had obtained the first supernatural power method, overpowering the three teachings and coming out on top. This was strength and luck.

Perhaps the high-level members knew in their hearts that there was still a gap between them and the three teachings, but others knew, and casual cultivators didn't know.

Ordinary casual cultivators would only see the Martial Dao Alliance overpowering the three major factions and think that the Martial Dao Alliance was the number one force.

And with the foundation of the Mystic Master's place of origin, there was no way to find a reason to refute it.

Although Sun Hui admitted that his wisdom was not as good as Yan Lai and the other three, after careful consideration after returning yesterday, he could also see the clues.

Combining it with a realistic analysis, he understood the process.

The Daoist school didn't want the Confucian school to occupy the first place, so it joined forces with the Buddhist school to favor one side, and their Martial Dao Alliance became the most contributing force.

Although there was a feeling of being looked down upon, Sun Hui was not angry.

It was good to be looked down upon, so that they could develop and grow stronger.

The Confucian school was the best example. Why did everyone unite to suppress him? Was it really because Yan Lai's mouth was stinky and he liked to dig pits?

That was not the case.

The main reason was that the Confucian school was too strong. Not to mention that there were many experts, the number of people was more than the three major factions combined.

After all, so many new government officials were also from the Confucian school, not to mention the army and so on.

Did they really think that everyone couldn't see Yan Lai secretly supporting the armies in various places?

Therefore, the Confucian school seen on the surface was only what the Confucian school wanted everyone to see.

And in the places that couldn't be seen, the Confucian school had been growing stronger.

This was the reason why the Daoist and Buddhist schools tacitly pitted Yan Lai.

After accepting the congratulations from Shen Qiang, Guan Dao, and others, Sun Hui dispersed his thoughts and turned to look at the three old partners.

He saw Minghui, who had already removed the isolation, smiling and nodding at him, expressing his congratulations.

He saw Jiutong smiling and nodding, signaling his congratulations.

He saw…

He saw Yan Lai smiling very obviously, and also raising his hand to signal to himself, clearly expressing his congratulations to himself and the Martial Dao Alliance.

Sun Hui felt a little unreal.

A question suddenly appeared in his mind: Was Mr. Yan Lai really plotted against?
