My construction materials are weird

"As expected of the High School Alliance, worthy of the name of the Eight Great Factions. Since you've decided, this humble Daoist will risk a try," Bai Xiaosheng said happily in the headquarters of Diting Tower.

Face is face, business is business. Since there are customers coming to the door, and it's this kind of sponsorship-natured payment, naturally the customer must be satisfied.

Because of the Merit Temple's shareholding, Diting Tower is the most moderate internally, but it is exceptionally profit-oriented. After all, the major shareholder often checks the accounts.

Unlike other forces, sometimes they can plan for the future, even if it means large temporary expenditures.

Diting Tower must seek the consent of the Merit Temple for any major action. Although Sun Tong and Xia Qing always listen and watch, they never interfere with the development of Diting Tower, and even the points handed over are of a take-it-or-leave-it attitude.

Despite this, after adding a procedure, it is ultimately different.

Therefore, Bai Xiaosheng, with his strong merchant spirit, is very enthusiastic about customers, even to the point of customer-first principle.

After all, to other cultivators, points are just points, but to him, they are also merit.

Sun Tong knows Bai Xiaosheng's methods, one of the few who knows. In order to take care of this CEO who helps him make money, the major shareholder must have some special contributions.

For example, he can spend a massive amount of points to buy merit and luck.

Merit and luck are like points. The Merit Temple has the most of it. How much exactly? It's hard to count.

Anyway, the series of halls and other buildings in the Merit Temple are almost being reshaped with merit, becoming a truly meaningful treasure of merit.

So, the Merit Temple could actually start a business, such as selling merit treasures to the outside world.

As long as some of the unused merit is poured into magic tools and treasures instead of the Merit Temple, these magic tools and treasures can become merit magic tools.

It's just that the Merit Temple hasn't done so.

50,000-100,000 points is not a small number, so Bai Xiaosheng is naturally doing his best.

The sponsorship nature also indicates that this is his first experiment. The success or failure of the experiment will become his accumulation, just like scientists doing experiments, which require massive amounts of funding.

As for whether it will succeed or not, that's another matter. Bai Xiaosheng is the same. Someone gives him points to do experiments, how could he not be happy?

The reason why there is no fixed number is also because of this. Anyway, the minimum is 50,000, the maximum is 100,000, and how much he receives depends entirely on his mood.

"Then we'll have to trouble Tower Master Bai," said the High School Alliance executive.

"No trouble, no trouble. Customer first is our Diting Tower's most resounding brand. We will do our best to exchange for a satisfactory result for our customers."

Bai Xiaosheng didn't act like the leader of a major force at all.

People have human ways, and mice have mouse ways. The other forces don't have much to say about this.

Whether it's the Four Superpowers or the Eight Great Factions, they all have their own fixed base. Everyone understands this, and how to manage it is their own business.

At least everyone is very satisfied with Diting Tower, which sells information. Leaving aside the cost, this attitude makes people feel that the money is well spent.

"Then we?" The High School Alliance executive asked meaningfully.

"Three days, at most three days, and you will have an answer," Bai Xiaosheng said confidently.

"Okay, then we will await Tower Master Bai's good news. Farewell," the High School Alliance executive cupped his hands.

"Okay," Bai Xiaosheng politely sent them out the door.

When the group walked out of Diting Tower, they didn't notice that a figure had been watching them.

Before long, the figure disappeared.

The one tailing them was the person arranged by Ji Zhongfu, and soon the news was transmitted to Ji Zhongfu.

"Understood, you may leave," Ji Zhongfu waved his hand.

"Yes!" The shadow-like subordinate immediately left.

Ji Zhongfu wanted to plot against the Small World Alliance, so naturally he wouldn't be unprepared. He had already begun secretly wooing some members and executives of the Small World Alliance.

The God-Demon World clansmen who had been loyal to him before and had not joined any forces were also secretly summoned back by him.

A certain scale of power has already formed, but it is still in the dark.

Ji Zhongfu didn't indulge in self-pity, nor did he feel any melancholy or unease.

After all, he was once a hero. He understands that once a move is made, there is no regret. Since he has decided, he should not sigh and sigh, but go forward bravely and never give up until he achieves his goal.

These accidents are all in his plan.

"Bai Xiaosheng? Let's see if your fortune-telling is more powerful, or this old Daoist's concealment ability is stronger. This old Daoist is a descendant of the Sky God Ancestor. Perhaps you don't understand what this represents. Very well, let you and I compete."

Ji Zhongfu said confidently.

After all, he is a descendant of the Sky God Ancestor. Although he has been down on his luck, even a broken ship has three thousand nails.

Besides the most precious Heart of Space being devoured and refined by the Azure Cloud Boat, the treasures left by the Sky God Ancestor to his descendants are also numerous.

He is the biggest local tyrant in the entire Azure Cloud Mountain.

It's just that due to some reasons, some of the items left by the Sky God Ancestor were sealed, and some could not be used due to changes in the environment, and needed to be re-refined and restored.

The sealed ones belong to the fourth rank and above, which he cannot change. The general environment is like this.

Only Xuan Shi can make the fifth-rank Great Magic Treasure Myriad Spirit Palace appear in the world, but even so, it can only be used as a palace. The abilities that the fifth rank should have cannot be displayed.

Xuan Huang is like this, so he has no way to do it. He can only wait for the seal of heaven and earth to slowly dissolve before these fourth-rank magic treasures can be used.

There are also some whose functions are malfunctioning or damaged due to changes in the environment.

After all, many magic tools and treasures were refined in the former God-Demon World and belong to the magic tools and treasures of the God-Demon World.

After coming to the more vast main world, they need to be re-refined and restored to adapt to the rules of the main world.

He hasn't been idle these years.

Although his cultivation has not improved much in terms of cultivation, after switching to the Invincible Method, his strength has at least increased a lot, and he has also made up for the previous deficiencies in foundation and background.

In terms of will, because he has lived long enough, his will is already extraordinary, even a little earlier than Luo Feng.

In addition to this, he is refining the treasure house of the Sky God Ancestor to enhance his means.

For example, a jade pendant he carries with him is a third-rank magic tool with space concealment properties.

Due to changes in the environment, many of its previous abilities malfunctioned. Over the years, he has spent a lot of money to finally make up for some of them, at least the concealment ability has reached the ability of a third-rank magic tool.

In addition, the defense ability is also the same. As long as this jade pendant is worn on the body, attacks that do not exceed the third rank are difficult to harm him.

It's like attacking a layer of space barrier. As long as this barrier cannot be broken, it is difficult to harm him.

He had several such jade pendants. He wore one himself, gave one to his granddaughter Mingyue, and only recently gifted another to his little beauty.

However, these two only had their abilities restored to the level of second-order magical artifacts. The most powerful one, which he wore personally, could defend against third-order attacks and possessed abilities like detection and celestial secrets.

Just as it defended against attacks, it also protected against celestial secrets and deductions. To probe him, one would need to overcome a layer of spatial obstruction.

This jade pendant originally had the ability to attack, but he simply couldn't resolve it; he didn't have the ability.

Even the defensive ability cost him a considerable amount of points. He studied the imprints left by Xuan Huang in the Dream Realm, and then, with the help of Qingyun Mountain's field, he compensated with time.

He himself didn't have the ability to restore it.

He decisively restored the defensive ability first, not choosing the offensive ability. This was the result of careful planning.

Firstly, he had learned the Invincible Art. The three great Invincible Arts were already invincible at the same level, and his offensive ability was sufficient. There was no need to enhance his attack first, and even if he did, there was no need to use it on the jade pendant.

He also had other treasures left by his ancestors.

Secondly, apart from limited support for going out, he rarely ventured into the outside world. Having too many offensive methods was unnecessary.

He could cultivate peacefully and steadily. Why bother risking his life for points like those poor cultivators?

Having a good background had its advantages. He didn't have to worry about lacking resources or points. Selling a useless item of his would be better than several years of diligent struggle for other cultivators.

Without one mistake, one first, one issue, one content, one presence, one look!

He was the strongest rich second-generation cultivator in Qingyun Mountain; Wang Zihua couldn't compare.

His ancestor was a fifth-order ancestor, while Wang Zihua's father was just a moderately wealthy medicinal herb merchant. How could they compare?

A bright light flashed, and the jade pendant changed. The inscriptions on the jade tablet began to flicker and then quickly disappeared.

He still didn't possess the ability to activate it himself, but he could use the power of Qingyun Mountain to activate it.

This was the application of formations. In short, he used the field of Qingyun Mountain to arrange abilities that he couldn't do himself.

As long as he didn't leave Qingyun Mountain, he could.

After doing all this, he took out a spirit garment from his spatial ring and put it on. It was also a spirit garment that could conceal and hide.

To compete with Baixiaosheng, he had prepared thoroughly.

He wasn't afraid of Baixiaosheng, but he knew that no matter how much he tried, he couldn't hide under the eyes of the Tongtian Jianmu.

Including his secrets and his little lover, he knew that these couldn't be hidden from the Merit Hall and the Tongtian Jianmu.

In the eyes of these two, he was just a disciple, just a child.

How could adults unfairly take sides when children fought?

It was impossible to hide from the Merit Hall, let alone the Invincible Art he had learned. What could be hidden from Master Xuan?

Of course, there was even less need to worry about Master Xuan. What kind of dish was he that Master Xuan would care about? Was that looking up to himself, or looking up to himself?

"It's enough to fool you, Baixiaosheng. Even if you can use Lord Jianmu to deduce, I don't believe there won't be a price. If there isn't a price, then this old Daoist will admit defeat, but is that possible?"

Ji Zhongfu was very confident.

He was knowledgeable and came from the top of the Great World. He knew many secrets of the cultivation world. Even if he didn't know, he could understand many problems by expanding his knowledge.

Therefore, he knew that Baixiaosheng's so-called fortune-telling celestial secrets all relied on Lord Jianmu's grace.

Otherwise, in this distorted world, would you dare to fortune-tell and deduce fate? Are you deducing fate, or do you not want your life?

Originally, distorted heavenly will was everywhere. To provoke Him and speculate about Him was really...

Therefore, without Lord Jianmu, Baixiaosheng was nothing.

Not only that, but he even had a hint of speculation about Baixiaosheng's mysterious cultivation method.

That was a very, very ancient tradition. It was said that in the ancient era before the ancestor had risen, the Wu ruled the world and were honored as great priests.

They could condense the luck of the clan and use it for cultivation. The price was that the clan could not decline.

However, this method was said to be very primitive, and because it was too ancient, the records were incomplete.

Later, the Sky God Ancestor, the Time Ancestor, and others rose, and witchcraft was slowly eliminated. According to the ancestor's records, the ancestor had also participated in the hunt for the Wu, saying that they did not respect heaven and earth, and that their evil methods caused chaos in the world and should not exist.

History is written by the victors, and he understood this.

However, the ancestors were very concerned about this cultivation method, which must not be simple.

Fragmented records mentioned 'price,' 'repayment,' 'disaster,' and 'tribulation.'

If these were combined, there seemed to be a certain direction.

Combining the fact that the Di Ting Tower was partly owned by the Merit Hall and that Baixiaosheng's deduction of celestial secrets was bestowed by Lord Jianmu, he understood a rough idea.

There must be a loss for every gain. Baixiaosheng could be so mysterious, so what was the price?

His Di Ting Tower selflessly integrated various titles, defined various things, and promoted and disseminated cultivation methods for free. All of this was pointing to luck.

Strengthening the luck of cultivators and setting titles and names for cultivators in the pioneering era.

Then...

He smiled slightly.

"Perhaps this is a very good intimidation method. If the duel really fails, it may not be impossible to use it. The best thing is to mix truth and falsehood."

Although he didn't think he would fail in the duel, he had to consider it in advance.

"It's best not to use it. I've already offended the University Alliance, and I still want to plot against the Small World Alliance. I can't make too many enemies. It's not rational, and the Di Ting Tower is very special."

Ji Zhongfu shook his head and thought.

On the other side.

Baixiaosheng spent a day preparing everything.

Celestial Secrets was the name he gave to his self-created method. Outsiders called him a fortune teller.

Fortune-telling also required preparation, such as Ji Zhongfu's birth date and so on. Of course, this could be ignored. That was the most basic fortune-telling technique.

He had Lord Jianmu's grace and didn't need these.

However, Jianmu only gave him the ability to predict and trace cause and effect and fate, but not the treatment of amnesty.

That is to say, once he failed, he would have to bear the consequences of the backlash himself.

Nowadays, it was becoming more and more difficult to predict celestial secrets.

In the beginning, the cause and effect and fate lines of the entire cultivator stage were not so complicated. After the celestial secrets were deduced, it would be much easier and simpler.

However, with the growth of the cultivation world, especially with the gathering of cause and effect and fate lines by the Lord of All Beings.

The difficulty of predicting celestial secrets had doubled.

It was not because of the Lord of All Beings. After all, the Lord of All Beings also made an exception for him, allowing him to explore the cause and effect and fate of cultivators.

However, the increased cause and effect and fate lines had become the biggest obstacle to the deduction of celestial secrets. The cause and effect lines of each cultivator had become extremely complicated, and the difficulty of sorting them out and finding what he wanted was not comparable to before.
