Linggen Civil Engineering only wants to build roads

"You're late, making Lord Shen Wen wait for so long."

As soon as they arrived at Dreamstone Mountain, cultivators from other teams started making trouble.

Two days later, Fang Chen and his group arrived late on the second night, just in time. Whether it was considered overdue and whether military law should be enforced was entirely up to the supervising officer.

"Reporting to the supervising officer, we encountered many demonic beasts on this march, and also..."

Fang Chen was about to explain when he was interrupted by a cultivator beside him.

"Monster beasts? Which of the passing troops hasn't encountered monster beasts? It's written on our sergeant tags that anyone encountering a monster beast must leave as quickly as possible and not linger in battle. Did you fight monster beasts for materials? Your greed for profit has slowed down our march and delayed our mission. What is your punishment?"

Even Shen Wen couldn't help but frown when this label was put on him.

"Nonsense! We not only encountered demonic beasts, but also cultivators on the other side. We killed the cultivators and even obtained their inheritance."

Xu Qian'er shouted in a delicate voice.

These words drew sighs from the surrounding cultivators.

They marveled at how lucky Fang Chen and his friends were.

Since military merits have been gained, the time lost is understandable. Shen Wen nodded and said to Fang Chen, "Give me the inheritance you captured, and I will record it."

Fang Chen was helpless; he originally did not want to hand over the inheritance.

But now it's not an option to refuse to hand it in, since cultivators have photographic memories; we can simply make a copy later.

After handing over the newly acquired talisman, Shen Wen recorded his military achievements and also submitted the footage of killing a family cultivator along with his identity token.

The military supervisor's badge clearly had more functions, and Shen Wen quickly confirmed that this person was a member of the Liu family, a family under the Tianyou Sect.

Each person received three military merits, for a total of six military merits.

Upon learning the amount of military merits, Xu Qian'er was disheartened. She had thought that the military merits she had handed over for inheritance would be a lot, but it turned out to be so little. Fang Chen also smiled. He had originally wanted to keep a low profile, but now he couldn't.

They acquired a legacy book; although it didn't earn them many military merits, it didn't diminish its value in the slightest.

After all, many families do not have such a tradition.

Moreover, some independent cultivators join this war with the greatest hope of obtaining a legacy. Once they occupy a spiritual land, they can transform themselves into the founders of a family.

However, Fang Chen was not afraid of these people at all.

"Since you killed the enemy cultivator and gained military merit, there was a reason for it, so you can't blame yourself for being late to the battlefield."

However, you must do your best to craft some talismans for us, in preparation for our later attack on the Dreamstone Mountain stronghold.

Furthermore, during the subsequent battle to capture the stronghold, you, the Ninth Division, will be responsible for the outer perimeter guard duty. After we break through the great formation, do not let any fleeing cultivator escape.

Shen Wen announced his decision, and the other family teams standing nearby calmed down somewhat.

This decision can be seen as a push and a pull.

Although they were on guard outside, there was a chance to catch any fleeing cultivators.

Such cultivators usually carry a large amount of family spiritual materials and treasures, making them quite a big fish.

However, such cases are extremely rare. In many cases, families would send away their next generation of qualified cultivators before being besieged.

Because they don't directly attack strongholds, the guard missions yield the fewest military merits.

Furthermore, they are not allowed to plunder the sacred grounds.

It's a tough job.

However, there are advantages. It is safer and more leisurely not having to participate in the attack formation. Fang Chen just needed time to learn the new talismans, so he did not refuse.

"I will follow Supervisor Shen's arrangements."

Overall, the supervisor's handling of the matter was not particularly difficult for Fang Chen.

According to Changmei, the disciples in the sect are of varying quality, and ordinary disciples will take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.

Fang Chen was prepared to lose money to avoid disaster, but the result was not as bad as he had imagined.

It was just a minor punishment; it seems the fat monk in charge of assigning teams is indeed reliable.

After assembling, each team returned to its own base.

Not long after Fang Chen returned, Shen Wen arrived once again.

This time, they were delivering talisman-making materials to Fang Chen. After all, several teams would need them in the upcoming battle, and there would be more fighting after breaking the formation. Having these talismans would also reduce some casualties, which was also Fang Chen's duty.

"It will probably take us ten days to break through the formation."

Within these ten days, you need to refine one hundred low-level talismans, thirty mid-level talismans, and ten high-level talismans.

This is a blank talisman paper; please do some research first.

After receiving the stacks of blank talisman papers from the military supervisor, Fang Chen glanced at them and found that the materials provided were indeed plentiful.

They are all calculated in multiples of ten.

One thousand blank talisman papers for beginner level, three hundred for intermediate level, and one hundred for advanced level.

The success rate of ordinary talisman paper is usually only 20% to 30%. These blank talisman papers gave Fang Chen a significant advantage, providing him with enough resources to upgrade the initial-level fireball talisman to the Great Perfection.

"The materials are sufficient, thank you for your trouble."

"Well, the materials aren't a problem; the key is to ensure that the talismans are prepared in sufficient quantities and without delay."

After giving some instructions, Shen Wen turned and left Fang Chen's team's camp.

These talismans were given to Fang Chen's entire team to refine, but unfortunately, he knew very well the level of talisman refining within his own team.

Fang Chen decided to keep the blank talisman papers for himself, and then he would simply take some talismans out of his pocket and give them to them later.

Instead of immediately starting to make talismans, Fang Chen carefully examined the sergeant's tag, or more precisely, the information about the military merit exchange list on the sergeant's tag, after putting the blank talisman paper away.

Looking at the dazzling array of spiritual materials and treasures, Fang Chen remained calm and quickly found what he truly needed.

Or perhaps it has determined the main direction of their team for the foreseeable future.

"The basic formation inheritance of Tianbi Sect is worth two hundred military merits."

Among alchemy, artifact crafting, talisman arrays, puppetry, beast taming, spiritual plants, and insect worms, Fang Chen ultimately chose to inherit the basic array formations.

It's not that nothing else matters, but that the formation is what I urgently need right now.

Compared to killing enemy cultivators, eliminating strongholds is what Tianbi Sect needs to do most right now, so it provides the greatest support in this regard and awards the most military merits.

Even rogue cultivators who are skilled in formations are highly sought after by cultivators.

With the panel in his possession, if Fang Chen could master the basics of formations, he would definitely become a formation master. At that time, his team would be able to eliminate strongholds on their own, and he would earn more and more military merits, which he could then use to improve his strength and eliminate even more strongholds.

After all, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Once the family cultivators summoned by the Tianyou Sect arrive, the war will inevitably turn into a protracted battle.

Such an opportunity to recklessly besiege the enemy's family formation will never come again.

Therefore, Fang Chen chose to seize the moment and start by inheriting the basic formation techniques.

After making his decision, Fang Chen took out some talisman paper and began making talismans. The first one he made was the entry-level high-grade Fire Serpent Talisman. Once this talisman was made, his strength would be further improved.
