I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players-Chapter 416 - 209: The People’s Cheers, the Saint Has Arrived
Dizzy.
This rather strange name was very familiar to her, an unforgettable impression she had heard at that Sword Casting Manor outside Pingchang City.
For some reason, it brought to mind certain stories of fortuitous encounters:
Could it be... really that Dizzy?
She suddenly remembered her first meeting with Dizzy.
It was her first visit to that Demon Cultivation Manor, where a pitiful little Ember clung to her sleeve, recounting the manor’s terrors, the perverse demon cultivators, who giggled around him all day long...
He was trembling, terrified to the extreme.
At that time, she had no means to help him and had to refuse.
Later, when she occasionally visited the manor, she saw him and another little girl moving bricks, sweeping, diligently... Sometimes, they had just gathered wild vegetables outside, chopped wood and brought it back.
"But how could such a weak fellow be the supreme Xirong Divine Craftsman, the steward of this city?"
Zhang Huaping sighed inwardly, thinking it must just be a duplicate name.
However.
Their camp was indeed allocated the best position, right within the Scaly Gate.
A casual allocation from above propelled them to success at one go.
As Zhang Huaping had just thought of this, someone nearby excitedly exclaimed:
"Our property prices in Pingchang City are bound to skyrocket!"
Someone else shouted: "Surely, people wanting to live closer will choose to buy houses in our Pingchang City."
"The three major families have a lot of real estate, they will probably make a big profit."
"But even my small house at the alley entrance is likely to earn an enormous profit, perhaps selling for money I couldn’t earn in a lifetime."
"Yes indeed, I bought my house for three hundred magic coins, and it could sell for at least one thousand five, right?"
The crowd discussed.
However, the shopkeeper next to Zhang Huaping quietly said to her:
"The three major families don’t have any backing in Xinyi State City... They probably need to use these properties to find some backing."
Lost opportunities, unguarded wealth, are not wealth but disasters,
Zhang Huaping nodded:
"Backing is indeed important, I heard those Two-Phase Families qualified to leave local cities establish cities in the wild, but they too need to connect with the state city... and also have to pay a cost, find backing, or it’s hard to mix in the state city."
"But that’s the matter of the three major families."
The shopkeeper said: "If they find a backing and distribute most of their real estate, it’s still a great chance for profit, maybe they can ascend to the Two-Phase Realm family in the future, since they too have Three Elements Realm Great Perfection stuck at that bottleneck..."
"Sometimes a hurdle can block ten generations."
The shopkeeper sighed.
How many cultivator families in Three Elements Realm Great Perfection are there?
And how many can leap through the gates like a carp into a dragon?
The higher the realm, the harder to break through.
Zhang Huaping pondered for a moment and said softly: "It’s irrelevant to us, I also have some property, it’s likely to appreciate in value too!"
Fortunately, Zhang Huaping also had her own property, a school district house near a local academy.
With the court’s real estate certification, even after appreciation, there’s no fear of seizure.
After all, the Fang Family’s incident was not long ago, and corruption is strictly investigated.
Rumble!
Soon, the entire Pingchang City suddenly ascended into the sky, crossing over the Ximen city wall below, quickly entering the Central Ring.
With endless air waves rushing and surging, the colossal city uplifted by great power slowly descended, landing steadily on the ground.
It must be said, the Dharma Aspect is truly useful.
Except for the inconvenience of fighting within the same tier, it excels at crushing weaker ones, cleaning, moving, exploring, a true jack-of-all-trades.
Hence it is said.
Three Elements Realm cultivators are only local, while Two-Phase Realm truly belongs in the ranks of powerhouses, without a Dharma Aspect, they don’t even catch the eye of high-tier cultivators.
Rumble!
As the entire city completely landed, all the people within the city cheered.
"Hahahaha!"
"Look at the sky, so clear, the sun more distinct, and at night, the state city’s moon must be bigger and rounder!"
"Isn’t it? I heard now each of the Nine-State has its own moon and sun, and each rise and fall begins in the state city."
"So, aren’t we living in the place of sunrise and sunset?" someone seemed to witness a mythical story.
Men, women, children, and elders.
They all rode the scarecrow that had been popular in Pingchang City for several months, cheering wildly, even setting off firecrackers.
"Thank the Xirong Divine Craftsman."
"Hahahaha, we’ve made it, we’ve made it!"
"My child can go to school now."
...
Zhang Huaping also took her daughter home to cook.
The houses in the alley were not soundproof, and neighbors around were setting off firecrackers with laughter and joy.
Soon the dishes were on the table, Zhang Huaping gave her daughter some food: "In a few days, I’ll go to Ximen to have a look, I haven’t been to the Historical Painting Wall and see if there’s a chance to transfer schools."
...
Several women from the Xinyi Family, responsible for recording information, stood on the clouds, slowly registering: "Pingchang City, officially landed."
"Mm, another city," another woman said: "They do seem very happy now."
"Isn’t it? According to accurate distribution principles, right in the inner side of Ximen, of course they’re happy... after all, it’s for that existence."
Another woman smiled, "But, they have no idea that if a fight breaks out in the future, they’re at the forefront, if Ximen can’t hold it, they’ll be the first to fall."
Another woman shook her head: "Ignorance brings joy, the more you know, the more you worry... The high levels of the whole world, all major sects, the more they know, the more troubled they are."
"Sometimes, ignorance truly is bliss for the people," another person sighed.
"Do you not trust the Emperor to pacify the world?" Without realizing it, a voice came from behind them both.
They turned to see a young man with an aura of unusual majesty standing silently behind them.
The two were greatly shocked.
The Xin Dynasty Emperor opened his hand, and formless flames burned, probing their bloodlines.
Endless flames melded over their bodies, cleansing them once over.
"So I see, my bloodline reached your generation, still almost all female."
"Greetings, Saint."
The two, coming to their senses, hurriedly bowed.
They had never expected this one to arrive so quietly.
This revered, distant Saint glanced at the cheering Pingchang City below, then at the Ximen city wall behind, and revealed a contemplative look.
His gaze finally fell on the white-robed woman in The Shop, who was teasing the little Gao.
The white-robed woman seemed to sense something, looked up at the sky, as if seeing someone through the distance, not surprised at all, instead smiling at the sky, "Xin Xichen."
"To call Me by name..."
Seeing her tease the little Gao, this Saint’s face suddenly turned somber; when he reappeared, he was already at The Shop’s entrance.
