My construction materials are weird

"凝!" (Condense!)

Xuan Huang, with his mind focused on his dantian, roared.

The radiant Furnace of Heaven and Earth trembled, and a Heavenly Gate inscription was engraved upon it.

Instantly, it seemed to connect to a vast and boundless world.

Strands of Heaven and Earth power surged, but it was as if the connection wasn't fully established. One could only see the boundless power of Heaven and Earth, yet it couldn't be drawn upon.

"Hoo!"

After seven days of engraving, Xuan Huang finally etched the complete Heavenly Gate inscription onto the Furnace of Heaven and Earth.

This was the first step in first-order cultivation.

Next was to condense the Twelve Heavenly Pillars that connect to the power of Heaven and Earth.

Three pillars in each direction, but three isn't just a simple three; it represents infinity.

It embodies the idea of one giving rise to two, two giving rise to three, and three giving rise to all things.

The furnace needs four Heavenly Gates, one on each of the four cardinal directions, each representing a pole of Heaven and Earth.

In fact, one could first engrave the four Heavenly Gates and then condense the Heavenly Pillars.

However, that would be inefficient and unrewarding.

Initially, there isn't a need for so much power of Heaven and Earth. If one couldn't control it well and a powerful surge of Heaven and Earth power came, it would overwhelm and collapse the person.

It's better to proceed step by step, one gate at a time, gradually increasing power before opening a new Heavenly Gate.

The 'Four Poles, Twelve Heavenly Pillars Furnace Method' is not only a method for tempering the will but also a method of martial arts.

In the past ten days or so, Xuan Huang's physical cultivation had hardly improved.

Xuan Huang didn't plan to enhance his body until his will had progressed first.

Even though he could enhance his qi sea to the limit of the first-order initial stage, ninety zhang, Xuan Huang didn't do so.

Accumulating qi and blood has never been the primary goal; the will is.

"Next is to condense the Heavenly Pillars."

Xuan Huang had a premonition that condensing the Heavenly Pillars wouldn't be accomplished in one fell swoop either.

It would take at least a week, almost the same time as engraving the Heavenly Gate.

The material for condensing the Heavenly Pillars is golden blood energy.

Through willpower, the blood energy is condensed into Heavenly Pillars, and each Heavenly Pillar requires thirty zhang of golden qi sea power.

This is the reason why it takes at least a week.

Because it requires qi and blood replenishment, three replenishments are needed to condense a complete Heavenly Pillar.

Once the Heavenly Pillars take shape, it's equivalent to having forty zhang of qi sea power. Each Heavenly Pillar is not only a pillar connecting Heaven and Earth energy but also a foundation for the martial artist, capable of unleashing even stronger energy, similar to stacked skills.

A complete set of Twelve Heavenly Pillars is equivalent to a first-order peak of three hundred and sixty zhang of qi and blood accumulation.

Moreover, when the Four Poles and Twelve Pillars are complete, they can open the Heavenly Gate and constantly connect to the power of Heaven and Earth.

This is equivalent to double the ability + infinite endurance.

A very invincible strength.

The method deduced by Ultra-Me is always perfect and powerful.

"First condense one-third."

Xuan Huang planned to first condense one-third of a Heavenly Pillar and then replenish his qi and blood.

"Rumble!"

Under the envelopment of his will, ten zhang of golden blood energy began to change shape.

It began to solidify from a gaseous state, slowly turning into a three-zhang-high cylinder.

"Go."

Xuan Huang's will swept across, breaking through the mist of the qi sea.

"Rumble!"

A three-zhang-high golden Heavenly Pillar stood in the endless mist of the qi sea.

Instantly, Xuan Huang felt the stirring of Heaven and Earth power once again.

But it stopped in an instant.

This was because the Heavenly Pillar had not yet been completely condensed and could not become a connecting bridge.

It still needed two more condensations to become a nine-zhang-high Heavenly Pillar, nine being the extreme of Heaven and Earth.

After doing this, Xuan Huang breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, a sense of emptiness descended.

The will was almost exhausted due to condensing the Heavenly Pillar, and so was the qi and blood, putting him in a state of double fatigue.

Xuan Huang didn't dare to be careless and immediately disappeared from here, appearing in the small world.

The small world was the safest place to slowly recover his blood.

Arriving in the small world, Xuan Huang swallowed a hundred Greater Restoration Pills. The Furnace of Heaven and Earth quickly refined them, and then they were absorbed by his flesh and blood.

It wasn't until an hour later that Xuan Huang recovered less than 20% of his qi and blood power.

His will, on the other hand, had recovered 30%.

"Eating the Greater Restoration Pill for the first time after entering first-order transcendence, this thing is becoming less and less effective."

Xuan Huang couldn't help but sigh that the Greater Restoration Pill wasn't very useful for restoring blood.

A hundred pills recovered less than 20%.

If he were to eat them freely, he wondered if a thousand pills could restore him to fullness.

Before, he had lamented that there were many martial arts pills in this world, but he couldn't use them.

Now it seemed that he had been reckless.

"It's not that I can't use them, it's that there aren't enough to eat."

If more martial artists enter the first order in the future, the demand for pills will be even greater.

Xuan Huang planned to borrow some of the inventory from the martial arts hall first, not go out hunting, and safely wait seven days to condense a complete Heavenly Pillar himself.

By that time, the transformation of Qingyun Mountain would be complete, and whether it was the development of the Blood Moon World or the Blood Pool anomalies, they would be sources of qi and blood.

"However, new pills suitable for first-order martial artists need to be developed."

As the Ancestor of Creation, this was the downside.

You need to create a cycle for your disciples and grandchildren.

Wealth, Companions, Method, Land; this thing is useful everywhere.

Wealth includes money, pills, magical treasures, etc., no wonder it's ranked first.

Companions are not just Dao companions, but teachers, Dao friends, Dao companions, and a system cycle to support the necessary cultivation.

Method is simple and clear: Dao methods, cultivation methods, spells, techniques, etc.

This point is the least important to Xuan Huang. He doesn't ask anyone for anything; he just creates it himself.

Land: blessed lands, places with abundant spiritual energy, including blessed heavens and cave lands, etc.

Companions and Land are not needed for the time being.

Although other martial artists who have comprehended the complete visualization diagram can also use the Furnace Method to refine and absorb wealth.

But it's just a means after all.

Now there are too many fierce beasts and wild animals; just kill them.

If there are more martial artists in the future, it will be difficult to find them.

As the Dao Master of Creation, he needs to find a way to solve this problem for his disciples.

"Unfortunately, spiritual herbs become out of control and turn into strange plants as soon as they transcend, so the conditions don't allow it."

He shook his head at this thought.

"It seems that I still need to combine it with reality and not be blind."

"The reality is that this place doesn't produce spiritual herbs, but specializes in strangeness, so I have to start with strangeness."

"Practice produces true knowledge. Grasp the direction and find the way out…"

"Well, in short, it's to rely on local characteristics and turn strangeness into treasure."

"That's right, I was thinking about using the Strange Dream Paintbrush and the Love Letter Strange Paper to create talismans, puppets, etc. Isn't this the direction? At least there is a direction for talismans."

"My Jianmu is also a representative of spiritual roots. It is not impossible to cultivate non-out-of-control spiritual herbs through it."

Once his thinking diverged, he suddenly had many ideas.

"Completely occupy the Blood Pool Secret Realm, develop and grow it, invest more wild animals or artificially raised animals, and use the Blood Pool's strangeness to breed fierce beasts… slaughter… process… extract pure qi and blood."

A one-stop service.

"Study the Blood Moon's laws and cultivate monsters on their own in the Blood Moon World… slaughter, process…"

"Done. It's enough for now."

"Take the time to find spiritual herbs, or mutated medicines, strangeness, plants, and cultivate them through Jianmu."

"…"

The worried Dao Master had thought of everything.
