My construction materials are weird

"By order of the Ninth Venerable, we have come to visit Fellow Daoist Xuanhuang. Your Daoist temple possesses extraordinary grandeur, resembling a sacred place in the mortal realm. Although we hail from the Boundary, the Daoist essence and spiritual energy of your temple are in no way inferior to those of the Boundary. It is truly admirable..."

"I had a brief encounter with you before, but I refrained from interacting with you for fear of becoming entangled in karma..."

"Now that the node has arrived, and the fusion of myriad realms has entered a new era, the beings of my Boundary are also beings of the sacred land, and have a great connection with the mortal realm. We need to interact and connect..."

"We are neighbors, and we will definitely deepen our exchanges in the future..."

When the three-man group of corpse捞尸人 came to visit the mountain,

it was the first official appearance of the Boundary beings, which not only alarmed the cultivators of Qingyun Mountain but also surprised Xuanhuang.

However, upon hearing that they were 'old friends,' Xuanhuang relaxed his guard.

Truth be told, Xuanhuang was wary of the Boundary beings' visit, suspecting that they had come to establish their dominance or even provoke him.

After all, he had just humiliated the heretical Boundary, and Xuanhuang feared that they would sympathize with each other.

It's not that they had a good relationship, but rather that even if the two Boundaries were enemies, they would unite against a common enemy.

Fortunately, what Xuanhuang had anticipated did not happen.

In fact, the three-man group of corpse捞尸人 were unaware of it.

However, even if they knew, it wouldn't matter. They also disliked the heretical Boundary.

Some of them may not consider themselves human anymore.

But they firmly believe that they are still Chinese gods, and this cannot be denied.

If you say that they are no longer human, they may agree or think about it, but if you say that they are not Xia country's saints, or not Eastern saints,

they will get angry and throw a fit.

"Speaking of which, I must thank you, Fellow Daoist, for your assistance in resolving my crisis back then."

After some pleasantries, Xuanhuang also said to the corpse捞尸人.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Xuanhuang, you jest. You simply didn't want to take action. Looking back now, my intervention was like showing off one's axe before Lu Ban, a laughingstock."

The corpse捞尸人 said honestly.

Xuanhuang didn't sense any insincerity, only pure honesty.

But why did he say that? Could it be that this corpse捞尸人 fellow Daoist misunderstood, perhaps because of his golden soul.

It only appears in times of crisis, and perhaps the corpse捞尸人 sensed it back then.

Since that's the case, Xuanhuang didn't bother to explain. Let the misunderstanding be, because it was impossible to explain, and it wouldn't make sense.

Explaining would be like revealing his secrets.

"Regardless, I must thank you, Fellow Daoist, for your assistance back then, which saved me from trouble," Xuanhuang said.

"Daoist Xuanhuang is not only unparalleled in talent, but his genius is also the only one I, this old woman, have ever seen in my life. He created the Divine Cultivation system, as well as the Immortal Cultivation system, and even various side-door Curse Cultivation, Dream Cultivation, Soldier Cultivation, Formation Cultivation, Talisman Cultivation, Pill Cultivation, and so on. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed it. It's truly unbelievable that there is such a being as you in the world!"

Finally, after the scavenger finished 'reminiscing' with Daoist Xuanhuang, the shaman couldn't help but exclaim.

Before Xuanhuang could even be modest after the shaman finished speaking,

the hardworking ferryman said: "Not only that, but Fellow Daoist Xuanhuang's weapon refining is already a grandmaster level, and he has also incorporated it well into fundamental cultivation. Furthermore, there are supreme existences like the Three Supreme Treasures... In addition, this Qingyun Mountain temple has a dense concentration of innate spiritual energy, so this place must have innate spiritual energy veins. To be honest, even the Boundary doesn't have innate spiritual veins..."

"Speaking of which, this old man will say something casually. Fellow Daoist Xuanhuang, please don't mind it, just listen..."

The ferryman, who had never liked to use his brain, seemed to be shocked by Xuanhuang and Qingyun Mountain, and he rarely said so much.

"Fellow Daoist, please speak freely!" Xuanhuang said politely.

"It's like this? Fellow Daoist's various wonders are precious, but after all, the level is still a bit low, so it won't be coveted by certain Boundaries, because it's not very useful to them. However, innate spiritual veins are too special. Our Yellow River Boundary, as a top Boundary, doesn't have innate spiritual veins. Its preciousness can be imagined. I'm afraid...?"

He didn't say what he was afraid of.

But it was obvious that it was like a child carrying gold through a busy city.

Xuanhuang didn't expect that, in the eyes of the Boundary beings, his most precious thing was actually the innate spiritual vein?

"Does the Boundary really not have it?" Xuanhuang asked cautiously.

The three of them looked at each other upon hearing this, and then nodded tacitly.

"Since you asked, Fellow Daoist, we will say it. The Boundary doesn't have it. We can't be sure if other Boundaries have it, but our Boundary doesn't have innate spiritual veins?"

Obviously, this was very important. The three of them had a good impression of Xuanhuang, coupled with the Ninth Venerable's polite words, making friends, and other factors.

The three chose to tell the truth. This was a manifestation of trust and friendship.

Xuanhuang understood.

Of course, this wasn't important. What was important was that there was no innate spiritual energy in the Boundary?

Then how did the fourth order exist, and how were those saints conceived?

"Then...?" Xuanhuang hinted, without needing to say it explicitly, those who understood would understand.

"Indeed, there isn't. As for your doubts, Fellow Daoist, how are the fourth-order kings or the fifth-order venerables, or even the sixth-order lords, conceived and exist? It's the innate spiritual energy converted by the Boundary, not the supply of the Boundary's internal spiritual veins."

The corpse捞尸人 paused here, and then said: "In addition, I said that our Yellow River Boundary doesn't have it, and it's true that we don't know about other Boundaries. But conversely, our Yellow River Boundary is the top of the top, and it doesn't have it. I don't believe that other top Boundaries have innate spiritual veins. Can you understand this, Fellow Daoist?"

Xuanhuang nodded upon hearing this, naturally understanding what he meant.

The top of the top didn't have innate spiritual veins, so it would be strange if others had them.

At the same time, Xuanhuang finally understood that the innate spiritual energy they needed for the fourth order was converted by the Boundary.

Although after the fourth order, they wouldn't care about innate spiritual energy, because the fourth-order true self king could refine ordinary spiritual energy into innate spiritual energy.

But that was after the fourth order. They, who were still being conceived, couldn't do it yet, and still needed innate spiritual veins to conceive.

"Fellow Daoist, I don't understand a bit. The fourth-order true self, which is what you call the king, can convert it themselves. Since that's the case, what's the point of coveting innate spiritual veins? How much significance is there?" Xuanhuang couldn't figure this out.

"How could it be useless? You can absorb and utilize it without converting it yourself. Doesn't this save a lot of trouble? Moreover, it can be used for healing, and it can be used for cultivation. It's like recovering mana faster than others. The effect is too great."

The ferryman said instead of the corpse捞尸人.

Xuanhuang: ??????

"Fellow Daoist Xuanhuang, what do you mean? Why that look? Am I wrong?"

Seeing Xuan Huang looking at him with incomprehension, doubt, and confusion, the ferryman thought he had said something wrong and asked a little uncertainly.

"No, don't misunderstand. I want to ask, is this all it does? ...Just to recover quickly, heal injuries, cultivate, etc.? Doesn't having a congenital spiritual vein allow one to step into a higher level?"

Xuan Huang asked cautiously.

The three responded: ? ? ? ? ?

They looked at him with the same incomprehension, doubt, and confusion that Xuan Huang had shown earlier.

"What's wrong?"

Xuan Huang was also made to feel uncertain.

"Fellow Daoist, isn't recovering quickly, cultivating without refining, and healing quickly enough? Do you still want to advance? Why do you think like this? Isn't that a bit outrageous? How can it be so easy to improve? To improve, especially to improve to a higher level, requires a specific time and a specific amount of calamity..."

The corpse fisher said a lot, and Xuan Huang felt that he had understood.

It was purely a deviation in understanding.

He had never felt that cultivation improvement was difficult, but for them, it was very difficult, very difficult.

Perhaps it was one of the drawbacks of being a congenital sacred being.

No one is wrong, one head, one hair, one inside, one appearance, one is watching!

Nothing only has advantages. They were born high above, but they are also burdened by being high above.

This leads to their fate being determined from birth, and I am afraid that there will be no hope of improvement in their lifetime.

I dare not say all, but for 90% of congenital sacred beings, it is as difficult as ascending to heaven to take another step after birth.

Therefore, when they cannot see further progress in a short period of time, they shift their focus to methods and abilities at the same level.

Like the Qingyun Mountain cultivators who were very competitive before.

If it is difficult to make progress in a short time, increase your methods.

And recovering quickly is indeed a very unsolvable method.

Xuan Huang understood them, but!

Understanding them does not mean agreeing with them.

TMD, just because of quick recovery and healing, you set your sights on my congenital spiritual vein. You are really promising!

I thought having a congenital spiritual vein would allow you to quickly advance to a higher level?

"I seem to understand your confusion just now, Fellow Daoist. Do you find it hard to understand that this 'small benefit' would make people covet your congenital spiritual vein?"

The corpse fisher was quite clever, and he also understood Xuan Huang's confusion just now.

Combining Daoist Xuan Huang's heaven-defying talent, unparalleled comprehension, and aptitude, it seems that he really has no worries about not being able to improve.

"No, no, I was thinking about other things."

Xuan Huang was embarrassed to admit this. Those who understand, understand.

Wouldn't admitting it be saying, 'You guys are so useless?'

"No need to explain, I understand. Alas, this is one of our drawbacks. We were born because of the entrustment and remembrance of living beings, but success is also Xiao He, failure is also Xiao He. We are not purely 'naturally nurtured beings', and it is as difficult as ascending to heaven to improve."

The corpse fisher sighed, with a hint of unwillingness and anger.

"It's okay, at least we have seen higher scenery. Some of our humans can't even enter the ranks, and we don't have the aptitude for cultivation. Transcendence is even more difficult than ascending to heaven. We humans also have our own difficulties," Xuan Huang said.

"But that doesn't include you. You can't represent ordinary people. You are special," the corpse fisher said.

These words... left Xuan Huang speechless.

He really can't represent ordinary people. If the standard for ordinary people is like him, these sacred beings would be autistic and self-destruct. What's the point of living?

"There is always a way to the front of the mountain. I was also desperate before, unable to control my fate. After trying to change, I have the current situation... In short, there is no absolute thing. Maybe after you really come into the world, the world will change, and you will find that there are many ways to improve? This is not certain."

Xuan Huang used himself as an example to comfort them.

The three shook their heads with a bitter smile. It's impossible to reason with him.

To talk to this kind of person... no, not this kind of person.

It is impossible for beings with ordinary comprehension, low aptitude, and mediocre talent to understand when talking to an existence like Daoist Xuan Huang who is beyond compare.

Fortunately, this difficult topic was passed over.

Xuan Huang was prepared. If someone coveted his congenital spiritual vein, then the enemy would have to be prepared to become food for the congenital spiritual vein.

You want the congenital spiritual vein? Coincidentally, I also want all your essence to strengthen the spiritual vein.

Let's see who has the better methods.

"The fourth level is the King, True Self as King, the fifth level is the Venerable, Earth Soul in hand, I am the Venerable, the sixth level is the Master, Earth Soul and Heaven Soul are all controlled by myself, I am my own master... In short, this is the transmission of the will of the realm to us, which is recognized by all the creatures in the realm..."

"Realms are divided into small realms, large realms, and top-level realms. The sacred beings of small realms are only at the fourth level when they are born. Large realms can nurture fifth-level Venerables, even several of them. Top-level realms can nurture sixth-level Masters..."

"Of course, realms of the same level also have strengths and weaknesses. For example, our Yellow River Realm is the most top-level realm. In addition to the Yellow River Master being at the peak of the sixth level, there are also the first, second, and third domain masters who are sixth-level Masters. In addition to these, there are also the fourth to ninth six Venerables..."

"The reason for the difference is not only the number of experts, but also the strength of the nurturing perfection. Fellow Daoist must know that after the fourth level, although each level is the same, the difference is very, very big. The fifth level is specifically divided into seven levels, which are the seven stages of integrating the seven souls. The sixth level has three souls, and there are also distinctions between the human soul master, the earth soul master, and the heaven soul master..."

"In short, the further you go, the greater the gap between each level. Even at the fourth level, those who have just entered are not as good as those who have comprehended supernatural powers... Those who have comprehended supernatural powers are not as good as those who have integrated supernatural powers into the domain... Those who have integrated supernatural powers into the domain are not as good as those who have completely integrated the supernatural powers, true self, and domain, and whose domain is perfect and begins to move towards the will of heaven."

"Of course, Fellow Daoist may have incomprehension and doubts, which is very normal, because your three methods of essence, qi, and spirit are all invincible methods. At the second level, they are mysteriously transformed into seeds (supernatural power seeds), at the third level, they will inevitably become a domain, and at the fourth level, they can achieve the simultaneous existence of the true self, domain, and supernatural powers. Because of the simultaneous existence and the early nurturing, it will be easier to perfectly integrate the three."

"I am talking about the general cultivation method. Fellow Daoist, your method cannot be measured according to the general method. You should know it in general, don't delve into it, delve into it and you will find that the myriad methods in the world are difficult to enter your eyes."

Xuan Huang:...

He hadn't even asked yet, and they had already turned to him. They had learned to explain in advance?

"The Holy Land has always been the Holy Land. In the world of myriad realms merging, there will be five great Holy Lands, and Blue Star is one of them. The Holy Land has never been afraid of so-called alien creatures. To us, they are just backwater places, so don't worry about alien creatures invading. They can't do it."

He also told Xuan Huang about the Holy Land.

Xuan Huang finally understood that, like what he knew, after the fusion of the entire universe and myriad realms, there would be five great Holy Lands.

Blue Star is one of them.

As for alien creatures?

Xuan Huang felt that the corpse fisher was right and didn't need to care too much.
