My construction materials are weird

After three days of intense competition, the second Hundred Arts Competition's top ten matches concluded.

As the most sensational event recently, the Hundred Arts Competition not only affected the cultivation world but also the entire Blue Star Holy Land.

The sacred beings within the realm, as well as scattered spiritualist groups, were also paying attention to this competition.

When your strength reaches a certain level, even a small sneeze can create a huge tornado.

The situation on Blue Star is the same.

Back in the day, every action of the spiritualists and every meeting of the Demon Suppression Department would lead to countless interpretations, with numerous experts analyzing every aspect.

The current cultivation world has achieved the same; the holding of the Hundred Arts Competition reveals many issues.

Within the borders of Xia, after the Demon Suppression Department announced its integration into Qingyun Mountain, the God Lord was killed by Xuan Huang, and the Mysterious Oddities Association was eliminated by Xuan Huang, there are no longer any large spiritualist forces.

The previous righteous factions, such as the Gold Medal Envoys, the Justice League, and the Spiritualist Guild, have gradually weakened after ten years of changes.

Many spiritualists have chosen to leave their respective forces; Xia no longer has the soil for large forces to form.

Spiritualists face three main problems.

But the reality is that the pressure on spiritualists has greatly reduced.

Strange entities are treasures in the cultivation world, but wherever strange entities appear, spiritualists cannot compete with cultivators; in fact, it's better not to compete, as there is a risk of falling.

Not to mention the fragility of their own bodies, they simply cannot compete with cultivators.

Under such a trend, spiritualists were already afraid of death, and now that seventy to eighty percent of the strange entity problems have been snatched away by cultivators, the pressure has naturally decreased.

The third problem is related to the second problem.

Because there is no pressure, why bother to band together, why bother to follow the instructions of superiors?

Being a free person, why be dependent on others?

Therefore, the third problem is an internal problem; many spiritualists have withdrawn from large forces and established small-scale cooperative or contractual forces.

They are all antique bosses of this force, no longer working for anyone.

Not only is it freedom, but the gains are also great.

Of course, the most important thing is that the spiritualists' ability to resist risks has greatly increased.

Previously, they huddled together for warmth, as a reliance; who doesn't have moments of bad luck or distress? In peak condition, it's fine, but once they are unlucky or injured, having a companion greatly increases the chances of survival.

However, the appearance of Xuan Huang's God Lord and the various auxiliary means of cultivators have led spiritualists to discover that they don't need to huddle together for warmth; they can solve many problems themselves.

Let me briefly mention here that spiritualists have been completely subdued by cultivators in recent years, so they are no longer the arrogant youths they once were.

The previous spiritualists were distorted by the erosion of strange entities, and all were abnormal, with an aura of arrogance spreading within the spiritualist teams, each with the typical brainless villain personality.

This is not their fault; it was caused by the distorted will of heaven and the fusion of strange entities.

Since the appearance of cultivators, they have been gradually awakened; as for those who couldn't be awakened, they were all killed.

In addition, with the God Lord absorbing the distortion, their wisdom and reason have returned, and the current spiritualists within Xia are all normal people.

Sometimes, when spiritualists recall their previous behavior and personality, they themselves feel very embarrassed; were they normal people?

How could they be so brainless?

With their regained wisdom and reason, coupled with being subdued by cultivators, their clever intelligence began to reoccupy the high ground.

They used the auxiliary means provided by cultivators to alleviate their own problems.

This is a mutually beneficial cooperation that cultivators are also happy with; after all, spiritualists are all wealthy, and they are willing to cooperate with the wealthy.

For example, the Spirit Suppression Talisman.

Take the Spirit Suppression Talisman as an example; does it only suppress the intelligence and soul of cultivators?

It's not that simple; the Spirit Suppression Talisman can also suppress the souls of spiritualists.

Just like spirit talismans, elixirs are also the same; cultivators and spiritualists have long jointly developed elixirs to enhance themselves.

A Spirit Suppression Talisman suppresses the strange entity, and then they take elixirs to enhance themselves, so that the fused strange entity has no ability to cause trouble. When the spiritualist refines and absorbs the elixir, they release the Spirit Suppression Talisman.

The strange entity...

It's fortunate that strange entities can't speak; if they could, they would definitely shout: Isn't this bullying honest strange entities?

Formations, magical artifacts, puppets, etc., are all the same; in order to earn points, don't underestimate the cleverness of cultivators.

They will tailor-make and refine them for spiritualists; the kind that is privately customized.

Don't even mention the crippled strange entities fused by spiritualists; even a complete strange entity Daoist can be captured. A mere crippled strange entity, with temporary cooperation, is too easy to handle.

You strange entities should inquire; who is the daddy on Blue Star?

I rely on exploiting strange entities, developing strange entities, and using strange entities to rise.

I am too familiar with you.

This example fully proves that spiritualists can live well even after leaving large forces.

In that case, there is no need to sell their lives to large forces; they can live well on their own.

Besides...

Isn't it possible to switch tracks?

The reason why this issue is not classified into the three major disintegration problems is that there is no need to say much about this point; everyone knows it.

Many spiritualists have long embarked on the path of converting to cultivators.

There are still many spiritualists who have not converted, because the further the spiritualist goes, the more solid the foundation laid for cultivators. They want to continue to lay the foundation and then convert to cultivators after the spiritualist level is no longer advancing.

It is worth mentioning that, due to the emergence of numerous auxiliary means, the level of spiritualists in the current spiritualist world has greatly improved.

Previously, it was purely gambling with fate; now, with the means provided by cultivators, there is already a complete and safe path to advancement.

Therefore, looking at the number alone, spiritualists have decreased, but their cultivation levels have all improved.

Previously, the entire spiritualist world, including foreign countries, had less than one hundred tier-three spiritualists.

Currently, Xia alone has more than two hundred tier-three spiritualists; this is the change.

Although these powerful spiritualists cannot defeat cultivators and are gradually squeezed out of their living environment by Xia's cultivators, don't forget that Blue Star is constantly expanding; in fact, it has not compressed much of the living environment; it is still as vast as ever.

Most importantly, if they can't defeat Xia's cultivators, can't they defeat foreign spiritualists?

Many spiritualists have chosen to run away and become masters abroad (Note: The real master kind, not the 'donut is really delicious' kind).

Their home is established in Xia, but they venture outside, bringing all the money they earn back to Xia to strengthen it.

This is a very important survival method in the current Spirit Master world.

Therefore, all Spirit Masters are tycoons, and cultivators are very willing to work for these tycoons.

The rewards they receive include not only strange items but also various spiritual herbs, medicines, plants, mineral veins, resources, and so on discovered by the Spirit Masters.

And a very important point is that Spirit Masters almost always arrange for their families to live in the large cities controlled by cultivators because these are the safest places.

After their wisdom returns, they are not foolish.

They know that the cities controlled by cultivators are the best safe havens for their families.

Putting aside everything else, in places occupied by cultivators, strange occurrences are suppressed and sharply reduced, even to the point of eliminating the environment for their birth. How can it not be safe?

Cultivators also have the Qi Luck Heavenly Net of cultivators as a barrier to resist falling stars.

There are also two rules that treat ordinary people more humanely than Spirit Masters, making it naturally the safest place.

This is the result of their 'voting with their feet'.

So, Spirit Masters are very wealthy. Even if they lack resources, don't they still have the strange abilities they've fused with?

Just like the Blood Qi controlled by the Martial Dao Alliance, Spirit Masters can also do it, using their own strange abilities to transform into strange substances and then sell them to cultivators.

Although this method is very draining and will delay their growth,

it is also a way to turn things around in the absence of resources.

Especially with the rise of various heretical cultivators, the righteous path used to be more restrained in their use of strange abilities, but the heretical cultivators have no such concerns. They use whatever they can, without any scruples.

The Spirit Masters have also benefited a lot from the rise of heretical cultivators.

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

Some even directly cooperate with heretical cultivators. They are not good people anyway, so they barely manage to stick together.

Don't mention it, but they are doing quite well.

The heretical cultivators have not yet grown up and are still very low-key, so the treatment they receive is better than anywhere in the righteous path. The Spirit Masters are very satisfied.

They love the heretical cultivators so much.

Many Spirit Masters have already decided that even if they switch to the cultivator path in the future, they will switch to the heretical path. They are born free and do not like the strict rules and constraints of the righteous path. The heretical path is more suitable for them.

In addition, because of the appearance of heretical cultivators, they have realized one thing.

That is, the Xuan Masters have become benevolent.

They don't know where they got this strange idea from, but this idea is generally recognized by the Spirit Masters.

Previously, the Xuan Masters used to shout and kill evil Spirit Masters. The largest-scale slaughter of Spirit Masters was initiated by Xuan Huang.

Now, his disciples and grandchildren also have a heretical path, but this ancestor doesn't care anymore.

They think Xuan Huang has become benevolent, so they have become bolder.

Therefore, there is cooperation with heretical cultivators and wanton actions abroad, as long as it is not within Xia.

In fact, Xuan Huang is very wronged.

Can domestic and foreign be the same? You were previously in the country, still under his own eyes. Can it be the same?

Moreover, these disciples and grandchildren of the heretical cultivators are for progress, with few or almost no pure killings.

It's not the same.

In short, in any case, the Spirit Masters have changed a lot.

They have become particularly concerned about the major events in the cultivation world, such as this Hundred Arts Competition.

In a certain Spirit Master force.

With the help of cultivators' projections, they are also seriously watching the competition.

The cultivators who provide them with Dream Realm broadcast projections are hired by them, and they give the cultivators a lot of points for each broadcast.

This is also a kind of cooperation.

"Look, this, this is the Spirit Beast Sect genius Du Wuniang I told you about. Look at the Beast Tower in her hand. This is our opportunity."

"Huh?"

"Hiss, it's really good."

"Haha, good, good, we can cooperate."

The Spirit Masters fully expressed their opinions.

Currently, Spirit Masters can borrow many methods from cultivators, but they cannot use beast control because their fusion with strange abilities will devour the beast marks or spirit guides integrated into their souls.

Spirit Masters cannot cultivate beast marks, but cultivators can refine them and sell them to them, so they can also control beasts.

However, there was a mistake.

All the beast marks they buy, if they want to use them, must be fused with their souls. It is their own souls that control the beasts, not their physical bodies.

Therefore, the trouble appeared.

Once a beast mark wants to be refined, it will be devoured by the fused strange ability, which is like feeding the strange ability a big supplement.

This made the Spirit Masters very depressed.

Who doesn't envy the cultivators' beast control? When traveling, what could be better than a mount?

Moreover, mounts are also powerful helpers, guards, and meat shields.

They can even self-destruct to defend against enemies, which is like having an extra life. For them, who cherish their lives very much, beast control is very perfect.

Unfortunately, unfortunately.

Until this genius disciple of the Spirit Beast Sect named Du Shiniang appeared. This woman is said to be Sun Bole's personal disciple, but she has not been recognized by the Spirit Beast Sect.

Everyone knows Du Shiniang's genius name.

Du Shiniang has creatively created a secret technique, which she calls: Beast Sacrifice Secret Technique.

It can control more spirit beasts. The control of spirit beasts is not unlimited and also depends on the strength of will and the power of the soul.

Unless it is a natal beast mark, but there are only nine natal beast marks.

A first-order cultivator can control at most one hundred beasts. More than that will cause delays and even a crisis of losing control.

The will and soul of a second-order cultivator can control one thousand beasts. More than that will cause loss of control.

Du Shiniang creatively created the Beast Sacrifice Secret Technique by fusing natal treasures, beast marks, petrification techniques, spirit beast bags, etc.

In short, sacrifice and refine a magic weapon, and the beast mark is fused in the magic weapon, without occupying the place of the soul.

In this way, the number of controlled beasts can be greatly increased.

Of course, this method is dispensable for beast control cultivators. More quantity is not necessarily good. Quantity cannot compare with quality.

A powerful beast can be worth a hundred of the opponent's. More is useless.

But the Spirit Masters don't think so. They can't control beasts. Now, as long as they refine a magic weapon, they can fuse the beast mark into it, so it will not be devoured by the fused strange ability.

This method is too suitable for them. They must get it so that they can fulfill their dream of being able to control beasts.

Having controlled beasts is not just a matter of pretending to be powerful. It can save lives at critical moments.

Most importantly, it can narrow the gap with cultivators.

Their cultivation and abilities cannot compare with true cultivators, and their methods cannot compare either. This is too speechless.

They must try every means to catch up, even if it's just a little bit.

"Brother Hao Guang, immediately contact Daoist Du Shiniang after the Hundred Arts Competition ends. Be sure to let her refine a batch of beast control magic weapons for us… Tell her that my Sun Moon Alliance is willing to trade more deeply with the Spirit Beast Sect. We won't skimp on the points."

The leader of the Sun Moon Alliance immediately decided.

…
