I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players-Chapter 401 - 197: Shi Youxing, An Unexpected Encounter at the Shop
At a high point of the Scaly Gate, by a restaurant window.
"What? That scholar, is he really favored by such esteemed figures?"
Shi Youxing was also present, witnessing the scene, her expression revealing a hint of shock:
"I didn’t expect Xirong Divine Craftsman’s spokesperson to return to Scaly Gate from the Capital City, establishing a sub-branch headquarters."
For the first time, she felt that the distant Capital City, the legendary figures famed throughout the Nine-State, were so close to her.
As a family that, like the Blood Separation Flower family, had once fled from Scaly Gate in exile.
Today, as the Patriarch of the Shi Family, her return to Scaly Gate through the Teleportation Array was under the orders of the family’s Three Elements Realm forebear, to gather information.
After all, her ancestor had entered the Capital City, and after witnessing the destruction, left with injuries as the price for witnessing that scene. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
Now, many families, much like the Shi Family, have gathered from various places to Xinyi Continent City, trying to probe for information.
This was their only channel to access information from higher-ups.
"We’ve secured some decent information."
Shi Youxing watched from the teahouse.
Meanwhile, Shi Youyou quietly said:
"Patriarch, isn’t the Xinyi city wall a monument to historical greatness? Only those who left their mark in history can be buried here after death?"
Shi Youyou was very puzzled.
The large Continent City only had three thousand city walls.
Getting an entry within is to be remembered in history.
But now, it is being given to a living person?
Shi Youxing sighed and said:
"Rules are dead, but people are alive. Given this person’s status, providing a ’living tomb’ and attracting them here is certainly possible."
"Firstly, this Scaly Gate, with its original master having done such deeds, how can the Court allow her to leave a monument here?"
"Thus, the Scaly Gate has been vacated, belonging to a masterless city wall."
"Previously, it was built with the ’Nether Sect’ by a group of rebellious scholars within, inscribing the vice No-Life Sect Leader’s heroic deeds against evil."
"The Court couldn’t take action against these rebellious scholars... So rather than letting the Scaly Gate serve as humiliation for the No-Life Sect’s Vice Sect Leader, it was better suited to give it to Xirong, a living person."
Shi Youyou’s heart trembled.
Establishing a ’living temple’ for a living person was unprecedented.
Not only has it never happened in the Jiushui Dynasty, but not in any former dynasty’s Continent City walls either!
Shi Youyou quietly said: "This is Xinyi Continent City, a miracle born from weighing pros and cons, and political compromise!"
If it were any other Continent City, like Doukou or Other Shore... they might be more than eager to spend greatly to invite this person.
However, no amount of expenditure would offer a city gate.
It’s not that they refused to give; they had no legitimate reason to take.
All their three thousand city walls were saturated.
The three thousand forebears committed no crime, and removing a historical hero’s monument would draw public outrage.
Only in Xinyi State can they produce such a wall!
The timing, geography, and harmony were all in place, leading to today’s event.
"One city wall, unprecedented, yet fitting for Xirong who launched a weapon revolution renowned throughout the Nine-State!"
"What a pity."
At this moment, Shi Youxing sighed: "That Dizzy family didn’t catch this massive wave."
Every city wall has a patrol envoy family.
This steward family serves the tomb’s master!
Scaly Gate’s new master, Xi Rong, now famous beyond measure.
Becoming their family, the benefits are imaginable.
What a pity!
Perhaps Xi Rong Divine Craftsman feared another Fang Family patrol envoy, indulging and enabling corruption.
Therefore.
Only supporting the single Dizzy.
Shi Youxing analyzed, feeling her guess was mostly accurate!
Although regretful, she still considered, and directly said:
"Let’s go, we should visit The Shop and see which poor family lost this heaven-sent opportunity, and learn where they are from."
With that.
She led Shi Youyou down from the restaurant and along the street to The Shop.
As soon as they entered, Shi Youyou was startled, noticing Jiucai Rong sitting at the counter, her beautiful eyes full of shock: "What! Why is it you guys!!"
Embers Jiucai Rong: "..."
Su Yuniang: "..."
They suddenly felt a toothache.
What’s going on? We just finished our performance, now there’s an unexpected cameo from bit players?
Shi Youyou was very familiar with Ember Jiucai Rong!
Previously, leading the tomb raiding was not Jiucai Rong himself, but this Ember Jiucai Rong.
This guy was crazily commanding, moving bricks, mining, and teaching them various techniques.
"What, what are you doing here?" Embers Jiucai Rong was also shocked.
Let alone the gigantic three thousand walls, just locating them in this Scaly Gate is like finding a needle in a haystack.
"Just came to check."
Shi Youyou whispered: "Weren’t you commanding the tomb raiding before, why are you here now?"
Shi Youyou quietly shocked within.
No wonder they’ve ignored her recently, constantly dismissing her!
Turns out they secretly established this shop, silently making a fortune.
"These little rascals, they’re too good at saving money, even removing floor tiles, now they’ve saved enough for a shop..." Shi Youyou’s eyes were full of resentment and envy.
"Come with me."
Embers Jiucai Rong was startled, pulling the two to the back, where he activated the shop’s attached Earth Vein Defense Array, to prevent others from peeping.
This shop, although it may reveal the identity of the Blood Separation Flower family, others merely regard it as a middle-grade small family from a region opening a store.
Such families number in the tens of thousands, and it’s not unusual in State City.
But it’s best not to expose one’s family identity.
In Su Yuniang’s [Viewing Bullet Comments], a group of people is frantically commenting:
"New plot."
"This is just a dozens of square meters small scene map, the planner really knows how to play, suddenly the Sword Fairy comes in, suddenly the Shi Family comes in."
"Exactly, it’s like a sitcom script, similar to Tongfu Inn where all the world’s events happen at the inn."
"The Shi Family also returned to the Scaly Gate."
"It’s over, they know the Manor Master wants to marry a Xinyi girl as a son-in-law, ally with a family, and come here to make trouble."
"Shi Youxing: Our two families have been intermarrying for generations, and now you want to break off the engagement and climb up? I’ll tell you this! Today it’s not you breaking off the engagement, but me divorcing you. Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west, don’t underestimate the poor girl!"
"You guys are toxic, still doing the son-in-law drama?"
...
Everyone laughed.
This observer perspective is really interesting.
In the manor’s small map, shooting battles have already started.
In this small map, the shop is also performing tricks.
It’s estimated that the third small map, Dizzy’s legendary four perspective, the recent small courtyard map, will also have tricks.
This is a bloom on three sides.
At this moment, Jiucai Rong coughed twice and found an excuse to say:
"Because I performed well, the family sent us to State City to develop, opened a small shop... the development is so-so."
Came here to develop?
Shi Youxing thought about it and found it reasonable.
The Blood Separation Flower family has recently earned big money selling painting cards.
With the chance to return to Xinyi State City, naturally, they would come back.
If it were them, they would also try to come back and develop.
"Your family has a chance to return to State City, huh."
Shi Youyou also nodded in admiration, saying: "That rebellious scholar, leading the parade, establishing the ’Nether Sect’, is from your family?"
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Embers Jiucai Rong coughed twice:
"It wasn’t long after we opened the shop that we ran into an attack on the Capital City team, the Vice Sect Leader of No-Life Sect is very sinister, caused our shop to be damaged once."
"So, one of our Embers clansmen, a righteous scholar, took the lead in making trouble, bringing along a group of scholars to demand an explanation, and inadvertently became a patrol envoy of the Scaly Gate."
Shi Youxing looked with some envy.
The Scaly Gate patrol envoy is a ceremonial position.
Originally, it wasn’t much, but couldn’t resist Scaly Gate’s new owner being the Xirong Divine Craftsman!
"Ah, it’s a pity."
Shi Youxing felt sorry for the allied family:
"They want only that one scholar, not your family behind, otherwise you could have soared to new heights."
If the Blood Separation Flower Li Family followed the Xirong Divine Craftsman, their Shi Family could also bask in some glory!
Shi Youxing felt a bit upset.
"Alas, we have no choice." Embers Jiucai Rong sighed, but was secretly delighted.
Even Su Yuniang beside him smiled secretly with satisfaction.
——Is this the joy of secretly showing off?
Familiar friends showing regret for not being able to follow such a supreme great power.
But, we are that big shot!
This secret pleasure is a bit thrilling.
We have no choice, we are just so low-key, hiding among the crowd, silently opening up a new era of weapons for the entire Nine-State.
"But you are not without options."
Shi Youxing suggested: "Every top force or Celestial Spirit Root family has a lot of subsidiary forces, of upper and middle-grade dependents."
"There is still plenty of opportunity to reconnect and become a subsidiary family to that one."
"What’s more, now with the exaggerated claims by Xirong Divine Craftsman’s fanatic believers, they are being touted as the first Immortal Level force prototype in human history."
"Immortal Level?" Embers Jiucai Rong exclaimed, making an exaggerated expression, "Isn’t that a bit too exaggerated?"
Shi Youxing smiled, revealing a look of longing: "How isn’t it? That ability, everyone says surpasses Celestial Spirit Root... Immortal Spirit Root."
"Even the Holy Land Great Sect of Celestial Spirit Root has so many dependents, this first prototype of Immortal Spirit Root, although only on weapons and not on the human body yet, still breaks new ground!"
"Everyone is rushing to become dependents, vying to be the first group of confidants, this is an opportunity to soar to new heights!"
Saying this, she showed a look of yearning.
The appearance of Immortal Spirit Root on weapons has led some visionary great power cultivators to speculate whether there will be breakthroughs in Spiritual Roots!
Could Immortal Spirit Root, in the future, appear on human bodies?
Of course.
Xirong Divine Craftsman is merely a Forging Master.
The breakthrough in Immortal Spirit Root is not their professional domain, this is something only combat cultivators can do through Immortal Cultivation Techniques, systematic innovations!
So now, many combat families have also raised ambitions, striving to become the first Immortal Spirit Root force.
To stand alongside the neighboring Xirong family, one scholarly, one martial, to become the two giants opening a new era!
Furthermore, no matter how Xirong Divine Craftsman opens a new era, they are still scholars, but the family that opens Immortal Spirit Root is martial, directly enhancing combat power, likely to open up the next era’s dynasty, dominating the Nine-State.
Who doesn’t yearn for this world domination?
Many have begun attempts at experiments, planting two Yin Yang Spirit Roots when opening the Three Flowers!
Therefore, the topic of Immortal Spirit Root has become the Nine-State hotspot, with rumors circulating that any combat family appearing with Immortal Spirit Root will be the next Holy Family of Nine-State.
With Xirong Divine Craftsman stationed in Scaly Gate, if this news spreads.
Countless people would flock to this huge living area, attempting to find the new [Tomb Owner].
Three thousand tombs also play traditional [Hide and Seek], they would hope to find this new Xirong Tomb Owner followed by seeking opportunities to pursue him.
