Talisman Reincarnation - All My Clones Are Dao Ancestors-Chapter 53: A peek into construction

Three men walked up to a station where various large beams of marble were stacked.

Two worked together, taking one end each, and carrying it delicately out of the station.

The last carefully took out a talisman out of his storage bag and put it on the pillar. Then he took out another and put it on his chest.

A thin veil of spiritual power spread across the pillar, while the man himself suddenly felt a surge of power!

When the two saw this, they exclaimed in shock "Sealing talisman? Strengthening talisman? You, how can you waste these things like this!

Don’t you know that the hall doesn’t compensate you?

Be careful, if they are those low-grade ones, they might suddenly lose effect and the pillar will then fall down!"

The man looked over in confusion, but didn’t answer right away.

He first took the pillar and carried it carefully with his arms, before he breathed a sigh of relief and replied to them "Why would I buy trash like that? Hmph, every year, there are newbies who take them, thinking they can earn more by doing the work of two as a single person.

But am I a newbie? You really lack some smarts." He shook his head at them, as if they were a bunch of idiots.

One of them spoke up "Then what was this? This is clearly a talisman! You didn’t buy those higher quality ones, did you? I’m telling you, the extra income won’t be enough to cover the use of so many talismans!

Better just give up, don’t waste your time on this. I will call another to carry it with you!"

The man carrying the pillar alone shook his head once more "No, actually, it’s that this talisman was provided to us! Just follow me and I will show you what I mean."

Although the two were confused and nervously looking at the pillar in the other guy’s hand, they didn’t talk any more. Since it was a high-quality talisman, there would at least be no faulty. If that guy really just threw his money away, that would be his problem, not theirs.

They walked down the road, quite far into the neighbourhood.

It was in the early hours of the morning and no cultivator was out.

To be exact, the neighbourhood itself was small. While there was chit-chatter between the creation masters in the evenings of the day, during a normal day, this was limited. Most of the time, it was the servants and disciples who chatted, while the residents didn’t go out as much.

"I wonder which senior it is, who chose such a far away courtyard!"

Two people on the side, foundation building cultivators, talked with each other when they saw the three construction workers carry materials down the road.

"I heard the senior is called Fu, and he’s a talisman master. My master told me that if the senior got any disciples, I should friend them.

If I’m fortunate, with a friend like that, I wouldn’t need to buy these overpriced low-quality talismans from all those shops."

"Oh is it senior Fu? Yeah my master had also told me to do the same. But by the time his disciple becomes a foundation building cultivator, won’t we already be in the late stage?"

"Who knows? Let’s just wait and see."

While they were talking, the three construction workers had already walked quite a distance away.

There were barely any other courtyards around them at this point.

Far and wide, it was empty. Now and then there would be a courtyard, but even they stopped after some time.

Carrying the pillars was strenuous on the two, so they had to pause several times.

These pillars were made from second-grade marble! White marble is an excellent construction material because of its conductivity of spiritual power, it was very delicate and could break easily.

It hadn’t yet been engraved and refined.

But if they engraved and refined it, then moving it would be even more difficult. So for now, the main construction work was to transport materials.

They soon saw a courtyard in the distance, and next to it, there was a large space.

Many materials were packed with several people carrying things around.

They heard voices calling out to several construction workers "Take that wall material to the north-east, it’s still lacking some!

Also, who’s in charge of the wood constructs? Why haven’t they arrived yet?

And you, why the hell are you moving so slowly? Do you think I don’t see you? You’re just carrying bricks, why the hell would you move like you’re carrying some delicate material?"

When the three pillar carries entered the premise, a voice called out to them "Why are you two carrying the pillar together? 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

The senior provided so many talisman to us just so we could complete this work faster. Are you guys stealing them?!"

When they heard this, the two were shocked. But before they had to explain anything, the other pillar carrying replied "Construction Overseer, Senior, these two have been newly assigned to our team.

I didn’t have any spare talisman so they had to carry these pillars like this!"

"Hm, since it’s like this, then it’s fine.

Show them where the talismans are. Remember, the faster we work, the more we get paid!

Did you guys over there hear? Work faster!

This is a two month job! If you can complete it in one month, you’ll still get the pay for the second month!"

The single pillar carrier moved carefully along the path left open by the construction workers.

At the end of the path, there was a large space.

In the middle, quite a few materials were already placed, mostly made of marble.

He put down the pillar on the side, told the other two to do the same, before calling them to follow him.

"The senior who’s courtyard we’re building is called Fu, when you see him, just call him senior Fu. He’s very nice. In addition, he is a talisman master and provided us with many talismans!"

As he said so, he arrived at a station.

A middle-aged man was sitting behind it while three boxes were on the table. He was scribbling on a notebook.

When he saw them, he asked "Two new people? Give me your name and your mission."

The two reported their names, "Our mission is to help carry pavilion building materials."

"Hm, alright. For this, you get one strengthening talisman and one sealing talisman. Remember, use the talismans and make sure to not damage anything! If you’re caught not using the talismans, you will be fined and send back to the hall to await punishments!"
