Linggen Civil Engineering only wants to build roads

Not long after, Fang Chen led his team up the mountain and saw the Yu family's territory in ruins.

The Yu family's residence on the mountainside had been half destroyed. The surviving Yu family cultivators had been tied up with ropes, and soon after, cultivators from the prisoner-of-war camp came to lead these prisoners away.

As I expected, the place had been completely looted, leaving not a single bit of profit.

After climbing the mountain to the Spirit Eye at the summit, there were still some low-grade spiritual materials that had not been fully mined.

It is a mineral called Yunmeng Stone, which is quite difficult to mine, but Xu Qian'er saw it and immediately led people to collect it.

Meanwhile, Fang Chen received a message.

"Come quickly to the Scripture Transmission Pavilion."

The Scripture Transmission Pavilion is a place used by families to store cultivation techniques, spells, and secret arts; every faction has one.

Normally, when cultivators go out, only independent cultivators will pack all their cultivation techniques and spells with them, while for family cultivators or sect cultivators, the cultivation techniques and spells they learn are all stored here.

This applies to small families as well as the Tianbi Sect.

The only difference is the scale.

The inheritance that Fang Chen longed for was also within this Scripture Transmission Pavilion.

Whoever manages to break through the magic array keeps the spiritual materials and treasures, but the cultivation techniques and secret arts are different; they can be copied, so naturally everyone gets a copy, which can be considered a small perk.

"It seems that the current leader of the Tianbi Sect is indeed a man of great talent and ambition."

On his way to the Scripture Transmission Pavilion, Fang Chen suddenly remembered what the Tianbi Sect cultivator had said earlier.

It is obvious that Shen Wen's actions were tacitly approved within the sect. The sect could have directly confiscated such a secret technique, and it had the power to do so, but it still chose to let the cultivators attacking the mountain "peek".

The Heavenly Jade Sect is not afraid of small forces growing big; on the contrary, it is accelerating this process.

Looking back now, the sect wars seem to have been a rapid reshuffling of the major forces within the sects.

Shaking his head, Fang Chen withdrew his thoughts. How the sect operated was still too far removed from his current situation.

Now, he has only one goal: to help the young cultivators of Qiyun Temple survive as much as possible in this brutal sect war.

The Scripture Transmission Pavilion is small, only the size of one room; it should be called the Scripture Transmission Room.

Upon entering the room, they discovered that Shen Wen had also been waiting there for some time.

"You can record it yourself," Shen Wen said, handing over a blank jade slip.

By placing it on the forehead and continuously turning the pages of the book, the contents can be stored in the jade slip. This jade slip can be written and read using spiritual sense. In addition to text, it can also contain images, sounds, and even emotions and insights.

Fang Chen only recorded the text at this time, which was a set of clan-protecting techniques of the Yu family.

Strictly speaking, it can be considered a top-tier wind-based cultivation technique.

The Qiyun Temple currently only has one set of basic spiritual techniques based on the Five Elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Even Fang Chen's own cultivation technique, the Earth Spirit Technique, is the most basic earth-based cultivation method. After it is perfected, it does not have any special abilities; it can only accelerate the recovery of spiritual power, which is a characteristic of all cultivation methods.

As for those high-level cultivation techniques, Fang Chen also wanted them.

However, I currently lack too many things, so the importance of cultivation techniques has to be put on the back burner.

Besides the cultivation techniques, Fang Chen also discovered that the Yu family had another lineage.

It is a basic inheritance of talisman making. Because the way of talismans is simple to learn and easy to master, many small families inherit the way of talismans, which has led to the proliferation of low-level talismans and relatively stable prices.

Fang Chen glanced through the Yu family's collection as well.

It contains the crafting methods for three beginner-level talismans and one intermediate-level talisman.

Fang Chen already possessed the necessary qualities, so this inheritance was useless to him.

After recording the findings of the Scripture Transmission Pavilion, Fang Chen was about to leave when he heard Shen Wen speak.

"The Spirit Eye Land of Dream Stone Mountain has been breached, and the military merits have been awarded. Please take a look. We also need to rest here for a while. Several teams will take turns using the Spirit Eye Land. Your time will be from Chen Shi (7-9 AM) to Wu Shi (11 AM-1 PM)."

"Okay," Fang Chen nodded.

After leaving the scripture transmission room and returning to the camp, he sent a wisp of his spiritual consciousness into the military merit plaque.

They discovered they had gained another hundred military merits; this was the reward for their attack on Mengshi Mountain.

Judging from the difficulty of these small families' spiritual eyes, the simplest is the Yu family's, which is worth a thousand military merits. Shen Wen took 30%, the other three teams each took 20%, and Fang Chen's team was stationed at the foot of the mountain.

They did not directly participate in the attack and could only take 10%.

These 100 military merits belong to Fang Chen's entire team, and how they are distributed within the team is up to Fang Chen.

Not long after, the rest of Fang Chen's team who had been collecting Yunmeng Stones returned.

Xu Qian'er skipped and hopped along at the front, looking like she had gained quite a bit.

"Master, you're back so early."

"Yes," Fang Chen said, looking at everyone, "the military merits have been awarded. Take a look."

Fang Chen had already decided on the division of his team's spoils: a 50/50 split. Individual gains would be disregarded, and Fang Chen would take 50% of the collective gains, while the remaining ten would share the other 50%. In other words, this was the division of spoils for the mountain assault.

Fang Chen received fifty military merits, while the other cultivators in the team each received five military merits.

"I didn't do anything this time and I still managed to get five military merits," Long Eyebrows couldn't help but say the moment he saw the merits.

"What, is it really that hard to earn five military merits?" Xu Qian'er asked from the side.

"Of course, in the last sect war I participated in, I was always running around, doing manual labor, casting spells to build array foundations, and I didn't encounter any decent battles."

He only earned seven or eight points of military merit in several months.

And now, less than half a month after arriving, without experiencing a single battle, he's already earned five military merits.

Hearing what Changmei said, the others finally understood how difficult it was to achieve military merit.

Fang Chen looked at Changmei with pity.

It seems that he did not lack military merit, but rather that his merits were deducted, which is why he received so little. He then claimed to the outside world that there were no military merits without combat.

Five military merits actually have considerable purchasing power; they can be exchanged for a high-quality, mid-grade spiritual weapon from a sect on the exchange leaderboard.

The magical artifacts sold in general markets or by caravans are common goods, and everyone knows their advantages and disadvantages.

So it's fine for dealing with demonic beasts, but if used against cultivators, its combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced once it encounters a counter.

However, the products from the sect are different. Each one is made by the disciples of the sect's special weapon-refining peak. Each one is very unique and has basically never been seen outside, so it is not easy to be targeted.

Besides exchanging for mid-grade spiritual artifacts, you can also exchange for pills that increase your cultivation level, although they are only at the initial stage.

It's suitable for cultivators in the early stages of Qi Refining, but they won't need it.

If you want to exchange for mid-grade pills used by mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators, you'll have to save up for a while.

After the military merits were distributed, Fang Chen's team rested with Shen Wen's group at Mengshi Mountain, where there was a place with spiritual eyes where they could cultivate every day.

Aside from the three hours of cultivation, Fang Chen either made talismans to increase his proficiency or went out to scavenge the high-level demonic beasts around Dream Stone Mountain under Wu Feng's guidance.

They hunted down four animals, some large and some small.

They collected another three hundred blank upper-level talisman papers.

On the way here, Fang Chen had already leveled up his proficiency in the Upper-Tier Golden Light Talisman to the Great Perfection.

Now that we have obtained the superior-grade Fire Serpent Talisman, along with the hundred blank talisman papers Shen Wen gave us before, we have a total of four hundred talismans, which can push our proficiency to the perfect level.
