My construction materials are weird

"Old Song, how are you?" Sun Hui asked, looking at Song Hongliang, who was gritting his teeth and persevering.

"Master, everyone, I can't continue for now. My leg should be fractured. Following everyone will only be a burden. I'm not fit to participate in the investigation of the haunted funeral shop."

Sun Hui nodded and said, "Alright, if you can still persevere, then follow us. If you can't, go back to Qingyun Mountain first."

"It's alright, it's just a fracture, it's just inconvenient to move… I'll see it through to the end. I can follow everyone."

Song Hongliang didn't plan to retreat now.

This not only concerned the Xuan Master's opinion, but also his own inner convictions.

For martial artists, broken legs and arms are normal. Achieving success in martial arts is extraordinary. It's just a broken leg, it's not like he's paralyzed.

Without needing anyone's help, he slowly arrived outside the hotel with the group.

At this time, the hotel and the blocked street had changed drastically.

The gloomy and eerie aura began to dissipate. Although it was still dilapidated, it had vitality.

"Report to Minister Xu that the Ghost Clock has been resolved. Later, go to the funeral shop in the south and have the resident spiritualists there pay attention."

Hearing Xuan Huang's words and seeing the dissipating chill, the two stationed spiritualists understood everything.

Although they were very surprised, they regained their composure.

"Yes, Xuan Master."

Seeing is believing. The Xuan Master's rumors had already caused a sensation in Nanshi, and are still sparking discussions on the paranormal forum.

But no matter how much you hear, it's not as direct as experiencing it firsthand.

Xuan Huang led the group of eleven, speeding away.

"So… does this mean that this place doesn't need to be sealed off anymore? Can people live here after a period of restoration?"

The female spiritualist asked.

"It should be like this. I heard that recently, due to the appearance of the Xuan Master, many cultivators are rushing here, and many well-informed ordinary people are moving into Nanshi. The population of Nanshi will continue to grow. It's good that this area is unsealed, as it can accommodate the influx of people."

The female spiritualist gave a wry smile: "I never thought that the resurgence of the supernatural in Nanshi would actually lead to a recovery in the real estate market. I couldn't afford it before."

The male spiritualist also said: "Me too. Before the resurgence of the supernatural, I was also a member of the houseless class. I simply couldn't afford it."

On the other side…

"Resolved."

Gao Xiaolan said to Xu Ruyi, hanging up the phone.

Xu Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief, "As expected, we still need the Xuan Master. It's really resolved."

"The stationed spiritualists said that the Xuan Master has gone to the funeral shop. In addition, the group that followed the Xuan Master into the Ghost Clock Hotel were all disheveled. The deputy master of the martial arts hall, Song Hongliang, even broke a leg."

Xu Ruyi didn't care, waving his hand and saying, "That's normal. It's good enough for ordinary people to save their lives. Besides, why did the Xuan Master bring them along? I think this is to temper them. Jade must be polished to become a useful object. Relying on the Xuan Master alone, even with three heads and six arms, he can't solve all the problems. What the Xuan Master is doing is right, only by training people can we cope with the future situation."

Gao Xiaolan nodded in agreement: "They reported that it took the Xuan Master less than fifteen minutes from entering to leaving to solve the Ghost Clock, which was very fast. And the supernatural power around the Ghost Clock Hotel is dissipating, and it will return to normal in a few days."

"That area isn't small, is it?"

Gao Xiaolan said: "Minister, that area is very large. In recent years, the area affected by the Ghost Clock has increased, so the area sealed off has also increased. Releasing such a large area can accommodate a lot of residents."

"When the time comes, you discuss it with Qingyun Mountain to see if they need it. Consult their opinions, don't just take over after the Xuan Master clears it without saying a word."

Gao Xiaolan indicated that she understood.

Xu Ruyi asked again: "How many stationed spiritualists are there at the funeral shop?"

More and more supernatural events are being discovered, and more and more locations need to be guarded.

And spiritualists are not easy to find, and the cost of sealing off supernatural events is huge, which is not ideal.

Now there is finally hope.

Having such a 'professional' cleaner like Xuan Huang, who is also not afraid of out-of-control transcendent martial artists, is really good news for Nanshi.

For him, the Minister of the Nanshi Town Evil Department, it is even more of a surprise.

"By the way, don't forget to bring some bargaining chips tomorrow to the spiritualists at Qingyun Mountain who are alleviating the supernatural erosion… The Xuan Master said he would alleviate it for free, but we can't be ignorant and not express anything. Give the Xuan Master some sealing-type supernatural objects that are difficult to integrate and that we can't use. The Xuan Master can turn waste into treasure, and maybe even refine treasures that are useful to our spiritualists."

"I understand, Minister," Gao Xiaolan nodded.

Since Jia Zhengyi 'disappeared' and Dong Xingbao went to Qingyun Mountain and became silent.

The entire Nanshi Town Evil Department is under Xu Ruyi's complete control, and his orders can be fully implemented.

Without any constraints, the entire Nanshi Town Evil Department has been completely renewed.

However, there are still a small number of people, such as Wei Zixuan and others, who still have ideas.

They were just frightened by Xuan Huang's methods and are hesitating whether to run away or correct their mistakes?

Xuan Huang has not bothered them, which makes them both happy and angry.

They are happy that Xuan Huang doesn't care about them, and angry that Xuan Huang doesn't care about them.

The sudden change in status and the rise of martial arts have made them very uncomfortable.

It was already 10:30 PM.

After resolving the Ghost Clock Hotel, Xuan Huang and his group drove to the funeral shop.

The eleven people were very silent along the way.

Everyone was preparing for the next new test.

At the same time, they were reviewing their performance just now.

"Little Jin, how do you feel?"

In the second car, there were the three of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism, plus Sun Hui and Jin Ning, a total of five people.

"There is indeed a buffer. The Furnace Observation Diagram will form a portal-like existence. When supernatural entities invade, it will have the ability to defend, whether it is the spirit or the dreamlike mind, etc. However, it is only a buffer. I only resisted for less than ten seconds before being pulled into the blood-colored room by the Ghost Clock."

Jiu Tong heard this and said, "Ten seconds is not bad. The Xuan Master said that the three of us have the ability of the fourth level of Intent Refinement, but when facing the rules of the Ghost Clock, we have no way to defend and were instantly pulled into the supernatural rules."

Minghui also said, "Benefactor Jin, you only have the will of the first level of Intent Refinement, but because the visualization object in your spirit suppresses it, you have the ability of the seventh level of Intent Refinement, which is extraordinary… A complete understanding of the visualization diagram does indeed have the power of the seventh level of Intent Refinement."

"Not bad," Yan Lai agreed.

"Then, do you have a way to deal with the faceless man in the blood-colored room?" Sun Hui asked again.

Jin Ning gave a wry smile: "No, although it can alleviate the impact of the faceless man's spirit, the effect is not ideal. I already have the strength of the fourth level of Body Refinement, 4,000 kilograms, but I was knocked away by the faceless man in one move."

"Me too," Sun Hui said.

Jin Ning has not only made great progress in will, but has also comprehended the complete Visualization Diagram. In the past month, his Body Refinement level has also reached the fourth level of Body Refinement.

And Sun Hui has even reached the sixth level of Body Refinement.

"After all, it's an extraordinary anomaly. The Faceless Man's strength is at least over 100,000 with each strike. It's understandable that the gap between us is too large. The old Daoist is equally vulnerable and can only dodge and entangle."

The difference between the extraordinary and ordinary people is immense.

When Xuan Huang was not extraordinary, his limit was only 12,000 kilograms of brute force. After the first-tier Xuan Transformation, the starting point was 100,000 kilograms, and the limit was 3.6 million kilograms.

That is to say, the limit of the untransformed was twelve tons, while the limit of the Xuan Transformation was three thousand six hundred tons, a three-hundred-fold difference.

Therefore, Xuan Huang could shatter the Faceless Man with one punch.

It's not that the Faceless Man isn't strong, it's that Xuan Huang is too strong.

The Xuan Transformation limit he deduced was three thousand six hundred tons, but that doesn't mean he can achieve it all.

The Four Extremes Twelve Heavenly Pillars Furnace Method, in fact, once one extreme and three pillars are cultivated to perfection, one can try to enter the extraordinary second tier, the Profound Connection.

Xuan Huang didn't do this. He plans to condense all four extremes and twelve heavenly pillars.

According to the division:

Generally, achieving one extreme and three pillars is the limit. It's very difficult to continue tempering. There is a great hurdle, and whether one can break through to the second tier Profound Connection requires opportunity. The possibility of failure is very high.

Geniuses can try two extremes and six pillars, which will greatly increase the chances of entering the second tier Profound Connection.

And geniuses among geniuses, those monsters, can try three extremes and nine pillars, and they will definitely be able to enter the second tier Profound Connection.

Only the founding ancestor of a technique, or an extreme genius with great luck, can try the perfect four extremes and twelve heavenly pillars.

Xuan Huang belongs to the latter, being both the founding ancestor of a technique and an unprecedented monster.

After all, each extreme is more difficult than the last. This is not only the difficulty of tempering the will, but also the danger of each tempering.

Each time the Heavenly Gate is opened, it is a great crisis. If one doesn't control it well, the power of heaven and earth will sweep in and Daoize you.

Each time a Heavenly Pillar is connected to draw in the power of heaven and earth, it is also a great test. Similarly, if one doesn't control it well, one can easily be Daoized.

Talent, perseverance, and luck are all indispensable.

The Faceless Man's power exceeds ten tons, but compared to Xuan Huang's already sixty tons of brute force, the gap is very large.

After all, the Faceless Man is not the main body, but an illusion of the Cursed Clock, and not even a power-type anomaly.

Jin Ning's heart felt a little relieved after hearing everyone's answers, and said, "I feel that the Cursed Clock is much stronger than the previous Puppet. If I were facing the Puppet anomaly at this moment, I wouldn't be so passive."

"Indeed, the Cursed Clock's ability is indeed at the top of the first tier. I just don't know how Xuan Shi cracked it. Could it be that breaking the blood-colored space can break free?"

The others had no idea what Xuan Huang did.

But it wasn't just breaking the blood-colored space, there was also the Reverse World, and the Cursed Shadows in the Reverse World.

Nothing wrong, all done in one go!

"We need to work hard."

Jiu Tong finally concluded.

"Yes, hopefully the upcoming Funeral Shroud anomaly won't be so troublesome."

Ming Hui shook her head and took out a document, saying, "It's also very troublesome. It's the kind of anomaly that absorbs lifespan, similar to the Corpse Tree that Xuan Shi subdued before."

"You guys take a look too." Ming Hui handed the documents to the four of them.

The four of them took it in turn to check it out.

"This kind is okay. The Faceless Man is a combination of power and anomaly, but this Funeral Shroud anomaly should only be anomalous power. Strength shouldn't be its strong point."

Jin Ning breathed a sigh of relief after reading it.

Pure anomalous rules should be resisted by one's own Divine Soul Visualization.

What he feared was the Faceless Man's combination of anomalous rules and real-world power.

Amidst the discussion, the group arrived at the Funeral Shroud Shop.

It was another street that had been blocked off.

However, in the distance, they could see the lights in the tall buildings, and there were residents living nearby.

This indicated that the threat here wasn't too great.

"Xuan Shi!"

The person stationed here was an elderly Spirit Master, looking to be in his sixties or seventies.

His right foot was strangely large and constantly oozing blood, looking very eerie.

After exchanging greetings, Xuan Huang also asked him to go to Qingyun Mountain tomorrow.

Xuan Huang noticed that all the Spirit Masters guarding the place had heavily eroded souls.

It seemed that guarding a place was less dangerous, as it didn't require fighting. Therefore, those who had been heavily eroded by anomalies were stationed at an anomalous place.

"Thank you, Xuan Shi."

The old Spirit Master squeezed out a smile.

"Which of you will follow?"

"Xuan Shi, Old Song won't go, we'll all go." Sun Hui said.

Looking at the ten ragged people, Xuan Huang didn't speak to them along the way.

"Alright, be careful."

Although they were just going through the motions, they still needed experience.

Standing at the entrance of the Funeral Shroud Shop, Xuan Huang sensed with his mind that this place was far inferior to the Cursed Clock Inn.

He had looked at the information when he came and knew it was another anomaly that absorbed people's lifespan and vitality.

It could only be said that today was a Tongtian Jianmu special.

Whether it was the already rooted Reverse World or this Funeral Shroud Shop, Jianmu was good at dealing with both.

After tonight, Jianmu would gain a lot again.

Entering the Funeral Shroud Shop, the anomalous rules descended.

An old man with a face full of corpse spots, as thin as a stick, appeared, wearing a funeral shroud, moving numbly and sluggishly.

Looking at the group that had entered, he seemed unaware and busied himself with his work.

But everyone could feel that they were surrounded by an anomalous force, absorbing their vitality.

Jin Ning breathed a sigh of relief. It was similar to what he had expected. The furnace visualization in his Divine Soul resisted this suction.

Xuan Huang sensed it and instantly lost interest. It was too ordinary.

Entering the anomalous rules would cause one's lifespan to be absorbed, and corpse spots would appear on the body, as if being eroded by time.

"Let's end this."

Since that was the case, he should resolve it sooner.

Jianmu's roots appeared out of thin air and quickly wrapped around the corpse-spotted funeral shroud elder.

The old man was like a puppet, offering no resistance.

In less than ten seconds, wham! The funeral shroud elder was sucked dry, leaving only the funeral shroud tightly wrapped by Jianmu's roots.

It lost its ability to struggle.

Rumble!

The anomalous space-time shattered. The people who had just entered and were nervously resisting suddenly felt a burst of relief.

"This, this is over?"

Sun Hui looked at the Funeral Shroud Shop, which had returned to normal.

"Alright, let's go."

Xuan Huang's voice came from the door.

Everyone realized that it was really over.

Had it been a minute since they entered?

It didn't seem like it.

"Huh?"

The Spirit Master guarding outside was equally surprised and couldn't help but rub his eyes, thinking he had seen wrong.

"Xuan, Xuan Shi, this is?"

"It's resolved. This anomaly isn't strong, and doesn't have any other special abilities."

Xuan Huang said 'truly' regretfully.

"Report to your department head, saying that tonight's mission was completed very smoothly, and we'll continue tomorrow night."

After speaking, Xuan Huang got into the car.

Guarding Spirit Master: … …

"This Spirit Master, we'll leave first."

Sun Hui reminded the Spirit Master who was still confused and passed by him.

"Ah, okay."

The elderly Spirit Master came back to his senses, feeling very embarrassed, and hurriedly took out his phone to report to Xu Ruyi.

Gao Xiaolan and Xu Ruyi reported the situation truthfully after receiving the call.

Xu Ruyi picked up a pen and used it to erase a marked red dot on a map of Nanshi.

This represented the Funeral Shroud Shop anomaly.

Thinking that in the next few days, two would disappear every day, Xu Ruyi was very happy.

… …
