My construction materials are weird

"Has it begun?" Sun Tong, who was in charge of the Merit Hall, asked.

"Chief Manager, it has begun. Do you need us to prepare anything?" Xia Qing asked.

"No need. It just so happens that Master Xuan has emerged from seclusion. With Master Xuan here, there won't be any unpredictable accidents. But..."

Sun Tong emphasized, "However, the rules of Qingyun Mountain must be observed. Direct fighting is not allowed."

"Chief Manager, the rogue cultivators understand the rules. They won't fight on Qingyun Mountain. According to the Listening Tower's list, the top ten thousand rogue cultivators will compete in the White Bone Pagoda, with willpower as the test. The top three thousand strongest in willpower will become the masters of the three thousand cave dwellings."

Xia Qing said.

"Yes, that's good. Willpower cultivation is always the most important, and it also meets Master Xuan's expectations for disciples. This is very good. I will go and preside over it later."

Sun Tong nodded in satisfaction.

With the three thousand cave dwellings fully formed, this opportunity for rogue cultivators has officially begun.

Only the strongest three thousand can possess their own cave dwelling in the sacred ground of Qingyun Mountain.

For rogue cultivators, nothing is more important than this.

It's not just the Xia people's attachment and love for having a home, but also about luck and the future.

Having a cave dwelling is equivalent to having fixed assets.

Although Qingyun Mountain strictly prohibits wanton excavation and the sale of immortal herbs and elixirs belonging to Qingyun Mountain.

Even if the rules are very strict, self-cultivation is still allowed. The land is provided free of charge by Master Xuan for everyone to use.

You just can't wantonly destroy it.

Besides, who would dare? Who would dare to wantonly destroy their own cave dwelling? Wouldn't that be idiotic?

They all treasure it, okay?

Having one's own cave dwelling represents officially establishing a foothold in Qingyun Mountain, which is equivalent to half of one's life being affirmed.

As long as you don't court death, just guarding the cave dwelling and slowly managing it will lead to faster development than rogue cultivators without a cave dwelling.

Because the cave dwelling is also a sign of luck.

Furthermore...

The rogue cultivators don't yet know what the cave dwellings are like, but based on their understanding of Master Xuan, they are definitely not simple.

Master Xuan wouldn't just casually give a mountain and say this is your cave dwelling.

Master Xuan still cares about face. If the specifications of the cave dwellings are not sufficient, even if they are willing, Master Xuan would still feel embarrassed.

Therefore, the rogue cultivators are certain that it is definitely not simple.

Some people even speculate that the cave dwellings are definitely not the same.

The cave dwellings ranked higher are definitely stronger than the cave dwellings ranked lower.

If they were all the same, why bother competing?

Even the cultivators from the Four Great Families and Eight Great Sects envy these rogue cultivators.

The Four Great Families and Eight Great Sects do have their own main peaks, their own territory on a giant mountain.

But this main peak belongs to their own power, not to the individual. They are very envious of the rogue cultivators competing for the three thousand cave dwellings.

This is equivalent to having one's own exclusive home.

This temptation is too great.

Inside the Myriad Spirits Palace.

Wan Ling still doesn't understand what a 'system' is?

The Lord's intriguing smile makes it eager to know.

It feels that this is very important to itself. If it knew about the so-called system, it might be very different.

"Is the decision on the ownership of the three thousand cave dwellings being made outside?" Xuan Huang asked.

"Willpower? Not bad!" Xuan Huang nodded, very satisfied.

But he felt something was lacking.

He waved his hand again, and a palm-sized, emerald green sapling appeared, as if rooted in his hand.

It was the Tongtian Jianmu.

"How are the cave dwellings set up?"

[Lord, among the three thousand cave dwellings, nine are supreme grade, thirty-six are high grade, three hundred and sixty-five are middle grade, and the rest are low grade cave dwellings. I set them up according to some human knowledge, including the size of the area, the concentration of spiritual energy and spiritual rhyme, and the vitality aura I added.]

The Tongtian Jianmu's brain is much more flexible than the Void Blade.

It also formulated a division, which Xuan Huang was very satisfied with.

[All three thousand cave dwellings have spiritual springs and spiritual fields. In addition to the size of the area, the essence of the spiritual springs and spiritual fields are also different. Low-grade ones are ordinary first-order spiritual fields and spiritual springs, middle-grade cave dwellings correspond to first-order middle-grade spiritual fields and spiritual springs, high-grade ones correspond to first-order high-grade spiritual fields and spiritual springs, and supreme grade ones are first-order supreme grade spiritual fields and spiritual springs.]

Xuan Huang frowned for a while at this division.

"The difference is so small, is it just the difference in area?"

[Lord, it's not that your subordinate wants to do this, but the cultivators' cultivation is currently weak. They can't control second-order spiritual fields and spiritual springs? However, your subordinate has specially refined the 'Blessed Land Token'. As long as the cultivator refines the token, it is equivalent to being the owner of this cave dwelling. The token can sense the owner's cultivation. For example, if the owner of a cave dwelling enters the second order, the cave dwelling will automatically evolve...]

Tongtian Jianmu explained to Xuan Huang.

Xuan Huang understood when he said that.

This cave dwelling can evolve, it's not a fixed level.

It will change with the cultivation of the cave dwelling owner.

The highest cave dwelling level set by Jianmu is the fourth order.

This is a bit exaggerated, belonging to drawing a big cake.

The entire Qingyun Mountain does not have this level.

But it doesn't matter, it's good to give the cave dwelling owner an expectation, at least they will work hard to keep their cave dwelling, and will only work harder.

Besides, who can say for sure about the future.

Qingyun Mountain is destined to enter the fourth-order spiritual mountain treasure land, then these internal cave dwellings also have a chance, depending on whether Xuan Huang wants to.

[In addition, the supreme grade cave dwelling also has an ability, which is the "Domain Control" and enlightenment opportunity once a year.]

Jianmu said.

Xuan Huang is very clear about this without explanation.

That is, the owner of the supreme grade cave dwelling has a chance to display the domain once a year.

There is also a chance for enlightenment.

Both of these are arranged by Jianmu.

Domain control belongs to the privilege of a third-order powerhouse, and even a powerhouse among the third-order can possess it. Ordinary third-order does not have a domain.

Once a year of domain control is equivalent to a gift from the Small Heavenly Will of the Three Treasures, allowing the owner of the cave dwelling to display the domain at the first order.

This help is too great.

It is equivalent to indirectly laying the foundation for the third-order Dongxuan. Xuan Huang was like this before.

Moreover, every time you control the domain, it is equivalent to being the master of a domain. During this period, comprehending the profound mysteries is no less than directly finding the answer to the problem with a head-on initiation.

Once a year, one time is worth more than a year (Note: One year of Qingyun Mountain is still one year of Qingyun Mountain's genius evildoer.)

There is also a chance for enlightenment, and this opportunity is also given by the Small Heavenly Will based on the Three Treasures.

I am in charge of my domain, and it is very simple to bestow an enlightenment on one of the cultivators.

But, it's not that simple either.

Who can make a living being directly enlightened?

I am afraid that only heaven and earth have this ability, and it is difficult for others to achieve it.

Unless the level gap is too large, it is a gift from a master to a weak cultivator.

But the Three Treasures are different. They are the objects of contemplation and the suppression of the divine soul for cultivators. All the insights of a cultivator will also converge there, forming a continuous lineage.

Granting a single enlightenment is much simpler.

"Good, good, is there more?" Xuan Huang continued to nod, expressing his satisfaction.

【Lord, cultivators in top-grade grotto-heavens only have one chance for enlightenment and no chance to control a domain. As for cultivators in middle-grade grotto-heavens, they have neither enlightenment nor domain control, but they do have one chance for replenishment. Cultivators in low-grade grotto-heavens receive no special treatment.】

Jianmu said.

It seems that the nine strongest supreme-grade grotto-heavens are the most special.

Once a rogue cultivator becomes one of these nine, the opportunity they receive is no less than that of the leaders of the Eight Great Sects.

They are only slightly inferior to the Four Great Sect Leaders.

"Is the replenishment opportunity your life force replenishment?" Xuan Huang asked.

【Yes, Lord. As long as the cultivators in middle-grade grotto-heavens do not die, I will provide them with life force replenishment. Moreover, it's not just me; our three brothers' exploration of all things will also be used.】

No mistakes, no omissions, everything is included!

"Mm!" Xuan Huang nodded, indicating that he understood.

It is equivalent to replenishing the essence, qi, and spirit within the Three Treasures' Small Heavenly Will, which is much stronger than simple life force replenishment.

While replenishing, it also corrects the essence, qi, and spirit cycle of the cultivator, achieving a more perfect level.

It's like saying that each replenishment improves a cultivator's aptitude.

"Are these decisions all your own ideas?"

Xuan Huang had no more questions about the grotto-heavens.

The tone of his voice changed, and he asked with a somewhat intriguing expression.

【Uh, this…】 Jianmu was momentarily stunned.

"Reporting to the Lord, Fellow Daoist Jianmu consulted the opinions of this subordinate, as well as Grand Manager Sun of the Merit Hall, Fellow Daoist Guixu, Fellow Daoist Melting Furnace, and all the other supreme treasures before making these decisions."

At this time, Wan Ling stepped forward again.

"I knew it; you don't have the brains to think of so much," Xuan Huang scolded Jianmu.

Jianmu was used to it. It was good as long as the Lord didn't blame him.

Indeed, there had been a great discussion.

All the supreme treasures, whether smart or not, even idiots had to participate. If they didn't speak, they could just vote.

"Is it to balance the strength of rogue cultivators and major powers?" Xuan Huang asked knowingly.

"I knew I couldn't hide it from you, Lord. Many things have happened recently… Apart from the Four Great Sects, the Eight Great Sects cannot bear the burden, and the rogue cultivators are even more miserable. They are objects that anyone can abandon, without any autonomy. This subordinate and Grand Manager Sun feel that this is not good…"

"A prosperous cultivation world should not only be the prosperity of the major powers, but also involve solitary heroes like rogue cultivators. They should also have their moments of glory. This is what a complete and normal cultivation world should be."

"…Therefore, there is this support plan. With the help of your grant of three thousand grotto-heavens to rogue cultivators, we, under your general direction, have made this decision… In fact, we are just picking up scraps, picking up your grand strategy of strengthening rogue cultivators…"

With all the flowery language, Wan Ling was even more eloquent than Sun Tong.

"Alright, I understand. The plan is good," Xuan Huang stopped his impassioned speech.

Xuan Huang's demarcation of the three thousand grotto-heavens did indeed have the intention of supporting rogue cultivators.

It was just that they had strengthened it.

Of course, it was inseparable from the recent situation.

Indeed, as Wan Ling said, apart from the Four Great Sects, the others couldn't bear the burden. The rogue cultivators were not only a scattered mess, but they also didn't have many experts.

With the nine supreme-grade grotto-heavens, it was equivalent to having nine existences even stronger than the leaders of the Eight Great Sects.

Currently, there is a gap between the cultivation of rogue cultivators and the leaders of major powers, but in Xuan Huang's view, this gap is very small.

They are all within the Profound Transformation stage, how big can the gap be?

The nine supreme-grade grotto-heavens' one enlightenment and one domain control can quickly catch up with the leaders of the Eight Great Sects.

After all, the nine strongest rogue cultivators are not ordinary people; they just lacked opportunities.

Given the opportunity, they will quickly catch up.

In this way, there will be nine existences whose strength is no less than the leaders of the Eight Great Sects, or even stronger.

There are also the cave masters of the thirty-six top-grade grotto-heavens, who are only slightly weaker than the sect leaders and deputy sect leaders of the Eight Great Sects.

In this way, the rogue cultivators will have the ability to contend with the major powers.

Although they still can't win, at least others won't abandon them as they do now, completely ignoring them.

"Speaking of which, I have a few words to say to you," Xuan Huang stopped Wan Ling's explanation and said to him: "In the future, if you have any ideas, boldly discuss them with Sun Tong. As long as you think it's feasible and has a great impact on the development of the cultivation world, don't be afraid. Just implement it with confidence, so that I can avoid worrying about it."

"Whew!" A breath that only Wan Ling himself could hear.

He thought that the Lord was going to scold him, but it wasn't.

It was to let him take the initiative to contribute and add bricks and tiles to the cultivation world.

"I respectfully obey the decree!" Wan Ling formally responded.

"Mm, your selection this time is not bad, but it's not enough. How about this…"

Xuan Huang pointed out, and a ray of light descended from the sky, entering the brow of Sun Tong, who had just arrived on the scene and was in charge of the selection of the three thousand grotto-heavens.

Whether it was the Four Great Sects, the Eight Great Sects, or the most active rogue cultivators, they were all waiting for the Grand Manager to say start.

Seeing Grand Manager Sun 'driving' over, he just got out of the car and looked at everyone with a smile.

Everyone was about to greet Grand Manager Sun in unison.

Only to see a golden light coming from the sky, entering the brow of Grand Manager Sun Tong.

This scene… There were no fools on Qingyun Mountain, and they knew that this was the Xuan Master's doing.

Therefore, it was instantly silent, and even the pleasantries of meeting Sun Tong were forgotten.

"Xuan Master's decree, all rogue cultivators listen!"

Sun Tong's smile disappeared, and he said with a serious face.

"We obey!"

The rogue cultivators knelt down to listen to the decree.

【Xuan Master's decree, a path of mental cultivation is specially opened. This time, the tempering of the will of the White Bone Pagoda will be carried out in the Sea of Bitterness, not only testing the will but also testing the mind… The top nine strongest this time will…】

"哗!" When Sun Tong finished speaking, the major powers were in an uproar.

The rogue cultivators, however, trembled with excitement. It was too incredible.

What did they hear?

There were actually nine supreme-grade grotto-heavens, thirty-six top-grade, three hundred and sixty-five middle-grade… So the previous guess was true. There were indeed strong and weak distinctions.

Especially the nine supreme-grade ones, which could actually control a domain and have an enlightenment once, and once every year.

The grotto-heaven will change with the growth of its cultivation…

Every single one of them touched the hearts of the rogue cultivators. Not to mention so many, even any one of them would be desperately fought for.

Not to mention so many.

Therefore, the rogue cultivators involved were directly shocked speechless.

And the onlookers from the Four Great Sects and Eight Great Sects, after the uproar, had expressions of both surprise and regret.

Fools cannot become the masters of the Four Great Sects and Eight Great Sects.

The Xuan Master is putting such a big bet on the three thousand grotto-heavens for rogue cultivators. What is the reason?

Isn't it obvious!
