My construction materials are weird

“Fellow Daoists, no need to be like this, please leave a little for me.”

Lin Fan suddenly felt empty, a little unaccustomed; after suffering for so long, he really wasn't used to it being gone.

At the same time, his heart surged with emotions.

He never expected that the so-called Five Ghost Daoists arranged by the headquarters would actually have a way, and could really help him.

“It's simple. To be honest, such defense is a bit of pressure for the five of us brothers. Although the Dao Lord's Five Ghost Transference Great Art is extraordinary and transcendent, we five are just beginners. If Fellow Daoist Lin Fan can resist some of it himself, we can be more relaxed.”

The leader of the Five Ghosts responded.

This request was exactly what they wanted.

Thus, the plan succeeded.

The Five Ghosts possessed Lin Fan, using Lin Fan as the core, forming the defense of the Five Ghost Transference Great Art, without requiring any mana consumption from Lin Fan.

The Five Ghosts, after truly operating here for a period of time, discovered that this place was really suitable for ghost cultivators.

The harshness of the environment far exceeded the underworld and netherworld. After all, it was a battlefield created by one of the five holy lands, and the reality was greater than the underworld and netherworld.

They came to the right place. The yin wind and resentment here are very suitable for them.

Especially with the Five Ghost Transference Great Formation activated, while resisting, they can also refine these yin winds and resentment. They not only don't need too much consumption, but can even achieve more nourishment than consumption.

If they cultivate here for a long time, the speed of progress will definitely be faster than in the underworld and netherworld.

The Five Ghosts saved Lin Fan, and likewise, because of Lin Fan's encounter, they came to this place and obtained the opportunity for development and growth.

Following the Martial Dao Alliance's number one genius, they were benefiting from the luck he brought.

Gradually becoming familiar with it, Lin Fan realized the power of the Five Ghost Transference Great Art.

Transference technique, defensive technique, cultivation technique, tempering technique in one, very suitable for ghost cultivators, even to the point that other beings besides ghost cultivators cannot cultivate it.

“Formation, formation is truly incredible.”

Lin Fan and the Five Ghosts, after being together, sighed like this more than once.

It's a pity that he was just a rough guy, and he was considered talented in tempering his will, but formations were really too difficult.

“Too difficult!”

This was another formation expert's trouble.

This person was no ordinary individual, but the acknowledged number one formation expert below the Mystic Master.

It was also because of his talent in formations that he was accepted as a disciple by the Mystic Master.

It was Yuan Tianchun from the Source Formation Sect.

He had recently been researching the combined formations taught by Xuan Huang in Yue Province. Understanding them was impossible, but implementing them step by step was achievable.

Some time ago, the Passing Mystic Master toured Yue Province and designated the combined formation at the Pearl River.

Upon receiving the news, Yuan Tianchun immediately rushed here and began to study the combined formation he had speculated about.

It wasn't just a simple one plus one combination. The Mystic Master had given a combination of even more formations, specifically, five or six formations combined together.

He couldn't even understand the one plus one formation, and was still researching it, let alone this kind of multiple combination.

When he obtained the Xuan Huang combined formation diagram, it was as if he had obtained a treasure.

Recently, he hadn't even returned to headquarters, and had been researching this formation here.

Unfortunately, three words: Too difficult.

However, difficult as it was, he did not delay the deployment of the Pearl River comprehensive formation, which had already been completed.

Completing the deployment was originally a matter of pride, but he did not feel any sense of accomplishment.

There must be inscriptions to operate, and inscriptions are the simplification of the rules of heaven and earth.

But this one deployed by the Mystic Master had no inscriptions. The lack of inscriptions to stabilize the foundation of the formation actually violated the principles of formation.

But why could it succeed?

There was only one reason, and that was that this formation was the rule of the operation of heaven and earth. Heaven and earth operated in this way, so there was no need for inscriptions.

Or rather, the inscriptions were not on the surface, but deeply embedded in every aspect of the entire formation.

Just as humans are also products under the rules, and according to the formation, humans also need specific inscriptions.

But humans do not have outwardly visible inscriptions, because a person's essence, energy, and spirit, everything about a person, are internal yin inscriptions, the principle of the great Dao is simplicity.

Outwardly manifested inscriptions are minor Daos, borrowed, and simplified.

A true innate formation has no deliberate deployment, and can utilize every aspect, every mountain and river, even every plant and tree is a combination of formations.

This kind is called an innate formation.

The combined formation deployed by Xuan Huang is like this. It is a formation that can be deployed by slightly changing the environment after thoroughly studying the principles of heaven and earth, so there are no inscriptions.

Inscriptions will be born innately because of the existence of the formation after the formation has been operating for a long time.

It is not an ordinary formation where inscriptions are born first and then the formation appears, it is a reversed relationship.

Yuan Tianchun was researching and waiting here, just waiting for the appearance of the innate inscriptions.

He had already given up on deploying this kind of Xuan Huang innate formation, and planned to record the inscriptions after they appeared and deploy them into acquired formations.

Innate formations are good, but they are not something that he should be researching at his level.

The Dao of formations is broad and profound, and he has learned to recognize himself.

Recognizing oneself is a common characteristic of the cultivation world on Blue Star recently.

It is probably related to the Dao Lord of the Roads transforming into thousands, casually explaining secrets, and guiding cultivators.

Starting from Nanshi and Taishi, the Mystic Master's incarnations spread all over the world, and legends of passers-by suspected of being the Mystic Master's identity came from all over.

Although the Passing Mystic Master did not preach alone, the many secrets revealed from his mouth not only broadened the horizons of the cultivators, but also invisibly educated them.

Is the second level strong?

The second level can only be cannon fodder in the universe, and needs even more effort.

The Dao Lord always comes out at the right time to give a head-on blow, so that the cultivators can be vigilant, not arrogant, and work hard in their cultivation.

The demon race's small world in Gan Province.

The Demon Suppressing Tower still stands here. Because of the appearance of this tower, many experts from the Daoist sect have gathered here, and half of the experts are stationed here.

While preventing others from having unrealistic ideas, they are also deeply studying the pagoda and refining the pagoda.

So that the pagoda and their own luck can be combined more deeply, completely binding the pagoda and the inseparable ability of the Daoist sect.

Including Jiu Tong of the Daoist sect, also often comes here to personally refine the pagoda as the leader of the Daoist sect, binding it with deep ties.

By the way, he also studies the other abilities of the pagoda.

If the pagoda is simply regarded as a powerful weapon, it would be too small to look at the means of the Mystic Master. When has the Mystic Master ever refined a magic weapon with a single ability?

Is he looking down on the Mystic Master, or looking down on the Mystic Master?

The treasures refined by the Mystic Master have always been comprehensive.

At present, after their exploration, they have not only explored the powerful defensive and offensive capabilities of the pagoda, but also explored the powerful suppression and refining capabilities of the pagoda.

In short, once you're thrown into the pagoda's interior, don't even think about getting out without the Daoist sect's permission.

Secondly, regarding its refining ability, no matter what kind of demons or monsters they are, as long as they're thrown into the pagoda and the refining ability is activated, they can be refined into essential origins.

A large portion will be absorbed by the pagoda itself to enhance its essence, and half will be collected by the Daoist sect as pure energy comparable to the Three Saints Pill.

Thanks to the pagoda, the Daoist sect has been gradually strengthening recently.

Furthermore, the Daoist sect is also developing the pagoda's forging abilities.

Another point is the pagoda's malleability.

As long as you communicate with the pagoda spirit, it will specifically evolve certain abilities. For example, the Daoist sect has a great need for forging abilities.

Once the pagoda spirit learns of this, it will focus on evolving that aspect of its abilities. This is its malleability.

The Daoist sect has never possessed such a powerful treasure, so they cherish it greatly, but they are also extremely irritable.

The reason for their irritability is that the three families haven't given up and are still secretly plotting.

This makes them very annoyed. What more do they want? They even conceded a significant portion of the profits from the Taishi Transcendent Technology City for the sake of the pagoda. Are the three families still not satisfied?

Of course, the three families are not satisfied. They originally thought that since the Mystic Master bestowed a treasure upon the Daoist sect, he would impartially grant benefits of equal value to the three families as well.

But they waited and waited, until the Mystic Master personally formulated a plan to send a hundred chosen talents to explore the Sacred Land of Myriad Races.

Yet, the treasures that the three families desired were nowhere to be seen.

They felt like they were at a great loss. Moreover, with the Daoist sect visibly strengthening due to the pagoda, how could the three families sit idly by?

Naturally, they looked for trouble with the Daoist sect everywhere. If the Daoist sect isn't annoyed, how can we feel comfortable?

Fortunately, the four families are used to being entangled with each other. Their annoyance has its limits, and they all operate within the rules.

The entanglement of the four families lessened the pressure felt by the Eight Great Families.

It's like the inertia of conduction.

Originally, while the four families were fighting among themselves, they would also spare some means to suppress the Eight Great Families and any other entities that threatened their interests.

Now that they are wholeheartedly focused on finding trouble with the Daoist sect, the Eight Great Families and other forces suddenly feel much more relaxed.

They all prayed and thanked the Daoist sect for their assistance, hoping that the three families would continue to attack the Daoist sect so that they could breathe a sigh of relief.

For example, the Small World Alliance, which was already in deep water.

Ji Zhongfu finally found an opportunity, an opportunity to 'usurp power'.

It's already out in the open. Having gained the support of more than half the members, he is forcing Zuo Dao to abdicate and allow him to ascend to the position of alliance leader.

Fortunately, the Small World Alliance has always been at the bottom, the weakest among the Eight Great Families.

Therefore, the other seven families are even happy to see their infighting and have not taken the opportunity to kick them while they're down.

After all, they are too weak, so weak that everyone lacks the interest to pay them much attention.

This is also what Zuo Dao and Ji Zhongfu wanted to see.

However, this shared sentiment is not entirely the same.

Zuo Dao, having discovered his own limitations and the loose structure of the Small World Alliance, believes that he cannot lead the Small World Alliance to become stronger.

Once he ambitiously tries to strengthen it, he will inevitably be suppressed by the other seven families.

He belongs to the type who struggled but gave up after realizing it wouldn't work, choosing to weaken himself.

Ji Zhongfu, on the other hand, thinks that it is precisely because of the Small World Alliance's weakness that everyone looks down on them, which gave him the opportunity to usurp power.

If the Small World Alliance were strong, with less internal dissatisfaction and greater attention from the external seven families, how could he have a chance?

As for Zuo Dao and Fang Wai, who once presented treasures to the Mystic Master, if their own abilities were sufficient, who would dare to suppress them like this?

Out of respect for the Buddha's face, no one would dare to easily usurp the position of someone who presented treasures to the Mystic Master and was even rewarded by him, unless there was a correct and just reason.

It's just that these two people's abilities have truly reached their limits, unable to strengthen the Small World Alliance.

The people inside are a little tired of this situation, which gave Ji Zhongfu the opportunity.

It was an opportunity of favorable timing, geographical advantage, and popular support, definitely not a simple case of Ji Zhongfu using his strength to suppress the weak in a power grab.

Zuo Dao and Fang Wai are a group with shared interests, and they are naturally unwilling to give up.

Even if they know that their abilities are insufficient to lead the Small World Alliance to become stronger, they are unwilling to relinquish their power, after all, this is the foundation of their existence.

The power grab has already begun, should they really give up?

Or should they follow what Alliance Leader Zhu Changxun said, that if they can't get it, then destroy it, and lead those who are of one mind with them to defect from the alliance.

"No, no, I can't do that. Then I would be a sinner. How could I live up to the Mystic Master's expectations of me, how could I live up to the expectations of my fellow Daoists?"

He shook his head and rejected the idea. He couldn't even get past this hurdle in his Dao heart.

"But if I don't do that, I will be betrayed by them at the voting meeting three days later. They betrayed me first."

"What should I do?"

Zuo Dao was caught in a dilemma.

"Fellow Daoist, what do you think?"

"I'm not optimistic. They have inherent flaws. I don't think Ji Zhongfu can lead the Small World Alliance to develop. Ji Zhongfu's promises may not be fulfilled."

"Hmm!" Bai Xiaosheng was also caught in a dilemma.

Zuo Dao has Zhu Changxun secretly supporting him, but Ji Zhongfu is not without any preparation either. He has fully considered everything inside and outside.

He also has external forces supporting him.

It was none other than Bai Xiaosheng, who became friends with him after their fight in the illusion. They acknowledged each other's strength, so they had a bit of mutual appreciation.

"Innate flaws are not impossible to change," Bai Xiaosheng said.

He was discussing this with his close friend and one of the founders of the Listening Tower, Gao Ming.

"How to change them? They are a combination of alliances. Each small world lord is like a landlord, with their own thoughts and a lot of self-determination. It's not easy to make them bleed," Gao Ming said.

"What you said is right, but don't forget that these landlords can keep their wealth because they are members of the Small World Alliance. Without this identity, they would definitely not be able to protect their wealth. Not to mention external pressure, they can't even suppress the rebel army within them," Bai Xiaosheng said.

"You mean?" Gao Ming seemed to understand.

"What I mean is, smash their rice bowls, make them feel the crisis firsthand, and then break and establish new rules. In this way, the Small World Alliance will be reborn," Bai Xiaosheng said.

"This?" Gao Ming hesitated.

If they rebuild in this way, they might really grow stronger.

But does Ji Zhongfu have this ability?

Will those landlords be willing?

It's not a simple matter.
