The following matters were quite simple.

They weren't ones to hesitate, decisively dividing into batches, taking the formal route, and left the Longevity Imperial Mausoleum with 30% of the resources, having abstracted 70%.

And those precious royal treasures could accept a cut, but the more precious Longevity Emperor Embers...

They absolutely could not accept a cut!

If they went through security like this, with seven babies and one mother, wouldn't they be taking away four babies and one mother?

How could this be?

They planned to seal and hide the severely weakened Longevity Emperor and Mother of Non-Life in a secret place.

Waiting for a way to come back and take them away later.

Soon, they acted according to their plan, only able to use conventional means to deliver the goods.

"Hmm, no stash this time."

"Next one."

"You behaved well this time!"

One cultivator after another walked in, calmly accepting the division.

Some treasures that they presented left some bystander loose cultivators gawking.

"Gasp! Is this Self-Transformation Realm material?"

"This is the trunk of a Spirit Tree that's cultivated over hundreds of thousands of years to reach the Self-Transformation Realm? Such a presence, intense life force!"

"Did they just hand it over like that?"

"Given up 70% in cuts, it makes my heart ache to see!"

Many cultivators were watching, guessing that they emptied the Longevity Dynasty's royal treasury.

And this 30% of royal resources was enough for them to instantaneously top the contribution list of the entire town.

So the resources they took became 40%, which made the distant Xin Xichen's face look much better.

But how could the blacksmiths let these tomb raiders off?

A blacksmith searched while chuckling: "It should've been like this from the start, four layers are already a lot, but they still don't cherish it, just act shamelessly, acting flamboyant with divine techniques, burning and acting with flair!"

In the distance, Xin Xichen showed a trace of coldness.

This was clearly pointing indirectly while scolding.

"Next."

The next cultivator stepped up, was fully checked, and found with top treasures too.

"Not bad, not bad, you behaved this time too."

"You defeated ancient emperors, uncle is pleased, but uncle dislikes your sneaky underhanded moves."

"Next."

The next cultivator stepped on, also carrying a batch of top resources.

The blacksmith sincerely patted one smuggler cultivator on the shoulder: "What the King gives you is yours, what the King doesn't give, you can't take!"

"Next!"

The cultivators in line turned red with anger.

This was humiliating, how could there be so much cheek?

But the big bosses behind them personally ordered them to become smugglers, and they had to leave with the materials of the three big bosses.

Another cultivator went through security, and the blacksmith hinted:

"The King allows you to fear."

"The King permits you to respect."

"The King lets you struggle, the King lets you resist."

"And all this struggle and resistance is doomed to be in vain, all these restless ancient emotions will be calmed by the might and mercy of My Master, then kneel and submit, willingly handing over 70% of the profits!!"

...

How hilarious.

Bai Xingling watched merrily, not deterred by the scene.

He hid in a dark corner, observing the nearby Xin Xichen, Cursed, and Phoenix Yi's faces unchanged, thinking to himself:

"Based on my many years of experience, they're fuming."

These Nine-State top overlords, how dare you tease them like this? No face whatsoever? Aren't you afraid of death!? I'm impressed, really impressed.

This tongue is too sarcastic.

These ancient demon gods are indeed masters of the combat arts, they're ruthless.

Sure enough.

The three big bosses from Cursed looked at each cultivator leaving with resources, being lectured, and decided to abandon their Dharma Aspects. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Boom!!

The Dharma Aspect in place exploded with anger, dissipating into energy bodies.

They understood each other well, opting not to leave through the door.

Because they would rather have their Dharma Aspect self-destruct at home than be held at the door by that blacksmith, who, acting like a big brother, pulls you aside, raving crazy talks.

Allowing the Dharma Aspect to self-destruct is a loss, but getting chewed out at the entrance, where's the face in that?

"A bit cool."

Food God snapped some satisfactory photos, [Xin Xichen Explodes With Anger], [Cursed Explodes With Anger], [Phoenix Yi Explodes With Anger] delighted him endlessly.

Now he had emojis for the three big bosses!

With expressions like they had eaten something foul, Food God already foresaw them becoming the top trending emoji.

...

At Sword Casting Manor, in the game forum.

Food God: "Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter, remember to give me credit for the emojis."

Shao Chaikun: "Hehehe! Try acting like a ghost behind our backs, try stealing things! Think you can steal things! We open Adventure Towns, recruit heroes to do quests, is it easy for us? We have to pay as much as 30% of the reward."

Lin Meimei: "I'm dying of laughter, I'm impressed, you little rascals, you completely lost the battle, but in the art of being irritating, you're unconquerable! Though I don't know what identity Xin Xichen is disguised as, blocking the door, lecturing cultivators with crazy talks, there's no way it won't affect them... scared the three into not daring to leave by the door, exploding right on the spot."

At Sword Casting Manor, everyone was full of laughter, this move was too wicked!

After all.

The fact is, Xin's move was indeed sneaky, stealing stuff.

But from an enemy's standpoint, this act of raiding is a normal tactic, who abides by rules and laws with enemies?

Yet the blacksmiths are double standards.

We madly raid other people's ancestral tombs again and again, causing chaos everywhere, even stealing from your Human Race Emperor's ancestral tomb, we see ourselves as representing justice.

But when your Human Race Emperor comes to our place to steal what's ours, tomb raiding, it's your fault!

Stealing your ancestral tomb? That's fine.

Stealing my ancestral grave? Disgusting.

Ning Zheng closed the forum, rubbed his temples, feeling both amused and exasperated.

Originally, he just planned to catch a wave of stowaways, but who knew these blacksmiths' antics would throw his back out.

They really intend to have a blood feud with Xin Xichen and others!

However, Ning Zheng didn't care much about it. The feud is destined with the ancient schemers behind the scenes, what does it have to do with me, Xi Rong?

"Stop arguing."

"Yeah, stop laughing, let's tally up the tomb raiding gains."

After the blacksmiths in Sword Casting Manor finished laughing, they began to discuss serious matters.

Jiucai Rong said: "This wave, a bloody profit. We briefly looked over the treasures, and they are all top-tier Demon Beast materials at the Self-Transformation Realm level. Even when a Saint at the Self-Transformation Realm falls, the essence materials on them are just a few."

"Among them, there's Qilin bone, Dragon Pearl... all at the Self-Transformation Realm level, it seems like the Longevity Dynasty's hand is a bit shady."

Everyone nodded, this wave was a bloody profit!

Materials at the Self-Transformation Realm level are extremely hard to find.

Without trade, there is no slaughter. Every Self-Transformation Realm material means the fall of a Saint-level existence.

And in an era, there're only a few cultivators who break through to the Self-Transformation Realm.

Imagine how precious they are!

Previously, Ning Zheng frantically raided tombs, dug up piles of Ancestor of Embers at Self-Transformation Realm, yet never found such materials.

Because those ancestors were all soul bodies.

The bodies of these Nine-State bigwigs who died and fell, while fresh, were probably long divided and crafted into various magical treasures by their devoted descendants, consumed in history...

After all, when a Self-Transformation Realm being falls, it can transform into vast mountains, the spine becomes Divine Gold, and the pupils become Divine Stones, which is an important method of reclaiming family resources.

So, the materials Ning Zheng held were the most precious top-tier forging materials he had obtained since his debut, bar none!

Even general Divine Craftsmen, in an era, might never encounter materials of the Self-Transformation Realm level in their lifetime, nor have the qualification to forge an Immortal Artifact of the Self-Transformation Realm level!

They essentially encounter materials of the One Heart Realm, or even Two-Phase Realm.

And previously, the Self-Transformation materials used to forge the Sun Moon were also from the Nine Shui's inventory, which could almost clear out the Nine Shui's treasury.

"And now? These materials might be enough for us to forge another National Guardian Immortal Artifact!"

The manor's chief analyst, Night Mad Cultivator, said:

"In fact, according to our estimates, these Infant Emperor preserved these materials unused, possibly intending to use them as their foundation for recovery after awakening and walking out of the coffin for the second life!"

Jiucai Rong laughed brightly, "What a pity, what a pity, it's cheap for us."

Food God said: "Originally, it wouldn't have been cheap for us; those storage rings were encrypted, forcibly breaking them would have caused self-destruction, lucky we encountered Xin Xichen, and through burning, got the decryption password."

Everyone understood, this was thanks to Xin Xichen's luck.

Otherwise, even getting the ring, it would absolutely not be openable.

Xin Xichen had a rough time, deciphering and taking out the items, preparing to smuggle them out in batches, only to become their Wealth-bringing Boy.

Thankfully they had good luck, with Food God infiltrating the main character's party, otherwise, they wouldn't have known what happened after the raid and theft.

But this wasn't even considered lucky.

Because Food God was keeping an eye on the main character—Bai Xingling, constantly plucking, blending into his protagonist team, knowing for sure he'll stumble into big opportunities.

"This is good stuff!"

Jiucai Rong said: "When our technology improves, we can forge a more advanced Free Will Immortal Artifact."

Everyone was jubilant.

This round of materials was a windfall that couldn't be wished for.

The Village Guardian Immortal Artifact at the Self-Transformation Realm, Free Will, has found its bearings!

At that moment, Food God said: "That Emperor of Longevity's Embers, they hid them, we don't know where it's sealed, if we have a chance, we can dig it out."

"Indeed." Shao Chaikun nodded.

"That's right, the fact they hid it makes it better for us. We grab it all, they don't need to submit 70% of it, leaving them with nothing!" Night Mad Cultivator also laughed.

That thing was already sealed after being beaten to near death.

If they catch it, it's a huge bargain.

Additionally, Nine Infant!

After they got it, they could complete an infant.

Why did they speculate this was a foreshadowing?

A month ago, wasn't it at the No-Life Female Ghost prison halfway up the mountain, the tens of thousands of Female Ghosts that merged with the Demon Ghost King?

The No-Life Female Ghost even formed a new Divine Technique.

[Innate Demon Heart Holy Embryo]: The belly as world, placenta as holy seat, memory illusion, one infant one life, every life reborn as infant, reincarnate a hundred lives, born as heavenly holy.

This is a one-time Divine Technique!

When an infant is birthed, it's used up, and the mother turns to dust.

This is an awakened Ghost King!

Its powerful Divine Technique is just a one-time use?

Moreover, it's unique in the world, possibly never to find another, as they cleared out all the Female Ghosts in the No-Life Sect's inventory over a hundred years!

After using up these few one-time birthing Ghost Kings, it's probably completely out of print.

Thus, they were still researching how to use it, to avoid wasting this one-time treasure.

"Now thinking about it, it's blatantly the plot's foreshadowing."

"I said, previously keeping treasures whose effects weren't well understood will eventually trigger a plot point."

Night Mad Cultivator said with a serious tone: "Now the remaining Female Ghosts in the whole world of No-Life Sect are only about 100,000, synthesized into ten such [Innate Demon Heart Holy Embryo] Ghost Kings."

"Although this reproductive capability might not match the first generation's Mother of Non-Life, it's one-time only."

"But it should have captured some of the essence."

"We, blacksmiths, reincarnate into this one-time Demon Embryo, we can sculpt a new Infant Emperor of Longevity."

"Become the eighth, even the ninth Infant among them."

"You get what I mean?"

Night Mad Cultivator revealed a slightly deep smile.

Everyone's eyes suddenly brightened, a mischievous idea appeared in their hearts:

That Mother of Non-Life, Nine Infant, wasn't it beaten to near death?

Just right, without any effort, take over.

The ninth Infant makes an appearance, devour and eliminate the other infants, and we are the true Emperor of Longevity.

Publicly announcing:

Historically, our Ancestor Demon God has always hidden their identity, even once became the Emperor of Longevity, founding a dynasty.

Emperor of Longevity, merely a facade in our history course.

This instantly maxes out classiness.
