My construction materials are weird

"Besides that, there's also the binding of temporary contractors."

Wan Ling, seeing that everyone accepted the contractor binding, spoke of her plan for experts.

"Lord Wan Ling, what is a temporary contractor?" Yan Lai still asked the question on everyone's behalf.

"As you know, becoming a formal contractor means that I grow together with the cultivator. Half of the luck brought about by any progress of the cultivator will be shared with me."

Everyone already understood this point.

In simple terms, once you are bound as a contractor, you are a member of Wan Ling Palace in life and a ghost of Wan Ling Palace in death.

Regardless of whether your progress is due to Wan Ling Palace or not, half of your luck will be shared with Wan Ling Palace as long as you progress.

"As for temporary contractors, it's a one-on-one agreement for each mission undertaken. I will take 70% of the profit from this mission, and the binding will end after the mission is completed."

Wan Ling explained to everyone slowly.

Temporary contractors are not her own people, hence the 70/30 split.

Wan Ling even wanted a 90/10 split, but that would be too much and not conducive to leaving a good impression.

Everyone pondered the meaning of Wan Ling's words.

They understood what temporary contractors were all about.

The predecessor of Wan Ling Palace was the Strange Association. What was the Strange Association famous for before?

Naturally, it was undertaking teleportation missions and posting tasks needed by spirit masters.

Because it could be deployed anywhere at any time, it meant that all over Blue Star, no matter where, it could be opened.

This ability was too strong.

Putting aside other things, the expansion of cultivators would be reduced countless times with Wan Ling Palace.

The four great Dharma transmitters have been continuing. Starting from the first batch, they are still continuing, constantly expanding to various places.

If there was Wan Ling Palace's deployment, there would be no need for such difficulty, just teleport directly to the destination.

A new city, where no Dharma transmitter has arrived, where the people have not learned the Xuan Huang Taoist method, is like a reservoir for cultivators.

Dispatching a Dharma transmitter can yield at least a hundred new cultivators in a city. This kind of investment will not be suspended due to a shortage of manpower.

On the contrary, it is precisely because there are not enough people that the Dharma transmission is intensified.

"Lord, are temporary missions about opening up new cities?" Yan Lai asked.

"Yes, but it's not just that. It can also be about eliminating anomalies, exploring secret realms, conquering new small worlds, and also treasure hunting, seeking help, adventure, and everything else," Wan Ling replied.

"Hiss?!"

The temptation of this sentence was too great.

No cultivator can leave these. These are all ways to progress.

For example, if you can't find anomalies in a mature cultivator territory, don't worry, you can come to Wan Ling Palace to take on a mission. Wan Ling Palace is connected to the entire Blue Star. Wherever there are anomalies, there are missions.

The same goes for secret realm exploration and small worlds. If you occupy a special secret realm, the harvest will be great.

Just like the Martial Alliance's Anomalous Blood Secret Realm, it is still an important asset of the Martial Alliance.

It can continuously eliminate fierce beasts. Fierce beasts can refine many resources needed by cultivators. Even eating the meat is better than eating ordinary food.

There is even a legend that eating fierce beast meat from a young age has a chance to improve cultivation aptitude.

Of course, this is unreliable news. No one has verified it.

However, major forces and family forces are doing this, eating spiritual rice and fierce beasts.

Not to mention small worlds, each one is a treasure.

Without the development of the Blood Moon Realm, cultivators would not have developed so quickly.

The achievements of cultivators today, with the Blood Moon World as a treasure world, have provided great assistance.

Seeing everyone's tempted expressions, Wan Ling seized the opportunity and said, "Everyone should know about divine blood, but besides divine blood, there are also existences corresponding to Qi and Spirit, Qi Seeds and Purple Rhyme, these two..."

Wan Ling gave a brief introduction.

After listening, everyone couldn't sit still anymore.

Isn't this the best supplement for Spirit, Qi, and Essence? It even surpasses the Three Saints Pill.

Everyone already knew that Qiao Liangyu was a cultivator, not a spirit master, so they continued to use Qiao Liangyu as an example.

Someone like him, who doesn't have any cultivation techniques, can still reach the third rank step by step with the help of divine blood. Wouldn't those of us with cultivation techniques be even stronger?

"Don't misunderstand. Qiao Liangyu was able to reach the third rank because he was the only one and the association suppressed his soul. But there are so many cultivators, I can't supply enough, and besides..."

Wan Ling finally spoke of her plan.

"Besides, the amount of divine blood, purple rhyme, and qi seeds depends on the feedback from the twelve small worlds. Only when the twelve small worlds are stronger can they be used as firewood to feed back the trials in the three great portals. The conquest of secret realms and small worlds is the key to the progress of the twelve small worlds."

Everyone understood after Wan Ling said this.

At the same time, they felt it was reasonable. It would be too unreasonable to supply the three great sacred objects without restrictions.

Now it seems that a layer of the twelve small worlds needs to grow stronger before it can feed back the three great portals on the second layer.

It is impossible for someone like Qiao Liangyu to occupy the entire Strange Association alone.

"Lord, are the Essence, Qi, and Spirit portals on the second layer also open to temporary contractors?" Yan Lai asked.

This was very crucial. After Yan Lai finished asking, everyone held their breath and waited.

"I'm afraid not. The three great portals of Essence, Qi, and Spirit on the second layer are only open to formal contractors. After all, obtaining the sacred objects requires life-and-death trials. This is not suitable for temporary contractors."

Wan Ling shook her head.

Just kidding, if this was open to temporary contractors, what chance would those formal contractors have?

After all, she was a treasure to change the fate of those with ordinary qualifications, not an auxiliary treasure for those with outstanding talents.

Those with outstanding talents don't even need her. They can rise on their own.

To put it bluntly, her contractors are mostly trash and losers.

It's not suitable for those with outstanding talents and heaven-defying luck.

Binding Qiao Liangyu is a good example.

Why him? Because he is a loser trash.

Wan Ling found it difficult to accept this reality, but it seemed to be the case.

The gathering of cause and effect luck for cultivation represents countless ordinary qualified people, not geniuses.

"However, if the feedback is large, I can sell it to the outside world, and there will be no restrictions. And the priority will be given to temporary contractors. As long as they help the twelve small worlds grow, I will give priority to these people,"

Wan Ling said, seeing everyone's disappointed expressions.

But how should I put it, everyone's interest has decreased a lot, not as excited as just now.

"Lord, I am willing to be a temporary contractor."

Just when everyone was silent, a loud voice resounded through the Hall of Merit.

Everyone looked over, and it was actually Ji Zhongfu.

"It's you, kid. How many generations descendant of the Void God Venerable are you?" Wan Ling asked with a smile.

"Reporting to Lord, this junior is the four hundred and ninety-fifth generation descendant, Ji Zhongfu," Ji Zhongfu said.

"Good!" Wan Ling still said with a smile.

Regardless of Ji Zhongfu's reason for being the first to try, she would agree.

"Thank you, Lord!" Ji Zhongfu said calmly.

He even had more thoughts, such as those with ordinary aptitude in the God and Demon World. He would try his best to persuade them to become formal contractors.

For the sake of these clansmen, and also for a trace of his own sustenance.

To be honest, when he first learned that the Myriad Spirits Palace was the Old Ancestor's Space God Treasure, he was very excited.

But slowly he calmed down, after all, it wasn't what he had imagined, it was just the past after all.

Therefore, while the others were discussing and arguing fiercely with the Myriad Spirits, he remained silent.

He was calm in silence, understood many things in silence, and decided many things in silence.

Even though Ji Zhongfu was the first to become a temporary contractor.

Still, no one present agreed without authorization. After all, this was not the place to make a decision, and they could go back and think about it carefully.

As Yan Lai continued to talk with the Myriad Spirits, everyone thoroughly understood the abilities of the Myriad Spirits Palace and the changes it might bring.

Returning to the topic, everyone felt that the appearance of the Myriad Spirits solved the predicament of those with ordinary aptitude.

They had no reason to use the 'weakling' card as a shield anymore.

Without exception, first, one, first, one, inside, one, capacity, one, at, one, look!

Once preparations were complete, the Myriad Spirits would directly transmit to the souls of all cultivators recorded in the Disciple Register.

Those who were willing to become contractors only needed to agree in their hearts, and a contract would appear. Signing their names would bind them.

If they did not agree, they only needed to reject it in their hearts, and the passage in their souls would close automatically.

All of this was established under the guarantee of the Merit Hall.

It was also because the Myriad Spirits was a treasure of the Mysterious Master.

If it weren't for such a background, suddenly transmitting 'No' or 'Yes' to the soul.

It would scare many people out of their wits.

As for the cultivators who were not registered, they could go to the various major forces' preaching points to apply. After all, the cultivators at the preaching points in various places were recorded in the Disciple Register.

They could act as guides, like the form of dream transmission of teachings.

The Four Great and Eight Medium Sects all agreed that the cultivators at their preaching points in various places would assist the Myriad Spirits Palace in binding contractors.

After all, this was also reducing their own troubles.

For example, those with ordinary aptitude in their own sects finally had a solution.

After returning, they would issue an order to have them all become contractors. If they didn't agree, it wouldn't matter, it would be like giving you an opportunity that you didn't use.

Then don't blame us for handling things impartially, such as advising you to leave, reducing resource allocation, or arranging for you to do some tasks within your ability.

Don't use the excuse that I still need to cultivate, don't assign me miscellaneous tasks that will delay my cultivation.

Don't use these as a pretext.

Those who are unwilling to go to the Myriad Spirits Point for life-and-death trials will have their resources and tasks determined based on their progress.

No progress, no resources, or you can leave if you don't agree.

In short, the Four Great Sects will not support idlers.

This is the cold and cruel side that a great force should have, instead of muddling through things with everyone being nice to each other.

Of course, they would also remind some who still had hope of making progress not to become contractors, just focus on cultivating, and only try it when there was really no other way.

In short, the Myriad Spirits' contractor plan could be considered to have helped them solve a difficult problem.

And at this moment!

"Lord Myriad Spirits, can we spirit beasts become contractors?"

Holy Mother Tu Shan rarely spoke up to ask.

In recent meetings, the spirit beasts had been low-key and silent, but this time she spoke.

"As long as your intelligence is the same as a normal person, that's fine. If your intelligence is insufficient... please forgive me, I am ultimately an auxiliary tool, not an intelligence-awakening tool," the Myriad Spirits responded.

Forgive it for not being able to improve intelligence. If the contractor couldn't even understand the task, and had no intelligence at all?

What would be the point of having such a contractor? To ruin things?

"Senior, Tu Shan understands."

Holy Mother Tu Shan smiled slightly, with no change in her expression.

"Mm!" The Myriad Spirits nodded.

"May I ask, Lord..." Wei Qiancheng also asked after Holy Mother Tu Shan finished asking: "May I ask, Lord, can we Divine Cultivators become temporary contractors? Furthermore, can we use your transmission ability to open up new strongholds and protect more believers for the Dao Lord?"

"Temporary contractors don't care about cultivators, spirit beasts, or Divine Cultivators. Anyone who wants to can become one, I can guarantee this. But the sharing is the same as I said... As for the transmission ability..."

The Myriad Spirits did not continue to answer, but looked at Sun Tong.

Sun Tong nodded and said: "Whether it's cultivators transmitting teachings or Divine Cultivators spreading religion, the Merit Hall will uniformly organize these into tasks. However, we don't plan to continue expanding in the near future. You should first maintain the current situation to avoid being caught off guard."

"What I can guarantee is that the Merit Hall will treat everyone equally, whether it's cultivators, spirit beasts, or Divine Cultivators, they can all use Fellow Daoist Myriad Spirits' transmission to transmit teachings and spread religion. Everyone can rest assured about this, just wait for the news."

Sun Tong finished speaking.

"Yes!"

Everyone said in unison.

The representatives of the spirit beasts and Divine Cultivators were very happy.

The cultivators had a somewhat indescribable feeling.

In the past, these expansion tasks were all done by them, the cultivators.

Now there were two more forces, making the competition even fiercer.

"The main purpose of gathering everyone this time is for the arrival of Fellow Daoist Myriad Spirits and the changes it brings, and to answer your doubts... You should have understood by now, that's right, the Mysterious Master has emerged from seclusion. Currently, the one sitting in the Myriad Spirits Palace is the Mysterious Master himself. Lord Jin Xing has completed his mission and returned."

"We congratulate the Mysterious Master on his emergence from seclusion!"

Even though everyone had guessed it, after Grand Manager Sun said it, everyone couldn't help but feel happy and joyful.

This kind of joy was indescribable.

It was a sense of security and excitement that Lord Jin Xing could not replace.

"The Mysterious Master also solved the problem of the Strange Society. The problem you were most worried about has been solved by the Mysterious Master. You should be happy, but also reflect on why we always trouble the Mysterious Master to take action. Are we really that useless?"

Rebuking had already become Sun Tong's usual trick. In short, she was like a whip, lashing everyone from time to time.

Everyone couldn't say anything.

Because they were indeed being ridiculed.

Those spirit masters were laughing gleefully, from the invasion of the top-level domain to the sneak attack on the transmission array, resulting in heavy losses.

This kind of thing couldn't be concealed, the spirit masters also had the Strange Network.

Naturally, they were ridiculing them there, saying that the Mysterious Master's subordinates were incompetent.

No one dared to openly or secretly criticize Xuan Huang anymore, they were all afraid.

Therefore, the disciples of Xuan Huang became the target of the spirit masters' attacks.

They sarcastically said that they were all useless, and couldn't do anything without the Mysterious Master.

They said it very harshly.

The cultivators knew it, but it was difficult to refute, because on the surface, weren't they useless?

They couldn't do anything without the Mysterious Master.

But they felt very wronged, what kind of opponents were they facing? They had never fought a fair battle, and had always been fighting beyond their level.

They couldn't express their suffering.
