I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players-Chapter 421 - 214: Saints Discuss the Tao, Training Each Other
The goal of this Last Saint is very clear.
——Burn those heretics.
This requires increasing strength as much as possible in a short time.
Forging magical artifacts is a great choice.
This is one of his academic specialties, and he is curious about the Xi Rong team, joining them allows him to access the new domains of this era.
It is indeed killing many birds with one stone.
At this moment, the Sword Fairy is completely unruffled, naturally saying:
"Emperor, I’ll leave this blueprint to you and Xinyi Baisan, make sure to teach your junior Xinyi Baisan well."
"..."
Several people around have sweat emerging on their foreheads.
The Sword Fairy’s artifact spirit is very straightforward.
The local little blacksmiths have no innate respect for NPCs and speak this way even to the Emperor.
However, Xin Xichen doesn’t mind, smiling as he says:
"Don’t worry, the responsibilities I must take, I will take upon myself."
"As I’ve said before, ignore my other identity, I’m starting now as a Divine Craftsman—a blacksmith within the team."
"I’m here to help build this... tower defense... is this what it’s called?"
"Construct the so-called Xinyi Continent City Tower Defense, various traps, underground tunnels? Towers? Fortresses? Kill those assassins attacking in waves." He keeps learning these "new terminologies" of the era.
Sword Fairy: "Catching a turtle in a jar!"
Xin Xichen shows a trace of a smile: "Sweep them all at once?"
The Sword Fairy proudly: "Shut the door to beat the dog!"
The Sword Fairy is inwardly delighted.
Previously, the little blacksmiths of the villa mentioned adjusting the AI of the old manager, deliberately saying modern words of the new era in his presence...
Now, wouldn’t she, the Sword Fairy, be adjusting the AI intelligence of a Saint in a wave?
The Sword Fairy thinks secretly inside: "Great, let’s first learn to adjust the AI intelligence of a Saint, gain experience, and then go back to adjust the old manager’s AI intelligence."
"Moreover, it seems the Saint is quite approachable and easy to guide."
But this Last Saint, however, is indifferent, thinking to himself:
"Adjusting the logic of this Embers artifact spirit is rather simple."
"After all, beings like the Poison Doctor have fixed and repetitive logic; it’s not difficult to figure it out and adjust her logic."
Every Embers logic has fixed thinking, even catchphrases.
That Poison Doctor always says the same thing "I will come back again" every time she is killed, sometimes making it easy to predict her next sentence without thinking.
At this moment.
Doukou Hong and others watch this Emperor teasing the Sword Fairy, gradually easing their tense nerves, a vague excitement passing through their hearts.
It’s said that the Saint Jiu Shui of the past was also so amicable, gathering a group of friends among the crowd, starting uprisings, reforms, and avoiding pursuits.
And now.
Do they not follow a Saint to conquer the world?
Just like the founding heroes who followed the Saint Jiu Shui back then?
Thinking of this, they are incredibly joyous at heart.
Surely, this counts as immense glory.
Already standing at the top of human professions, they have little desire for money and power, aiming only to leave their names in history, pursuing higher Realms.
Doukou Hong can’t help but sigh inwardly:
"This is truly the Emperor’s Heart Skill, even though you know this is drawing ministers close, entering among people... yet one can’t help but feel drawn near."
Weak powerhouses make people yield with violence, that’s called a brute.
True powerhouses make people yield with charisma, that’s the best strategy.
Gradually, as the lively and chatty Sword Fairy continues, several others sit down and chat about arrangements.
Actually, the basic work distribution was already decided.
Doukou Hong will study the Spiritual Root Divine Techniques.
The Xirong Divine Craftsman will use Spiritual Roots to forge Artifact Spirits.
Lan Zhou will study the array linked under the defensive tower rooted in the ground.
Xinyi Baisan will forge a defense tower, and now an additional Saint will act as a Divine Craftsman.
But this learned scholar’s strength gradually starts to reveal itself as he advises Lan Zhou on the array.
Xin Xichen shows a pondering expression:
"It seems that in this era, the main structure of blacksmithing has remained largely unchanged, but the array has developed significantly, some unknown."
"As for the Spirit Farmer, I completely cannot understand... the changes are too great, planting Spiritual Roots, unprecedented in history."
The contemporary blacksmith seems unchanged.
But from the Xirong Divine Craftsman in front, a new change appears.
Lan Zhou respectfully explains:
"These years, arrays have changed significantly."
"Because Saint Jiu Shui’s research on arrays was so intense, post-establishment resources largely went into constructing Earth Veins, itself a colossal array."
"Indeed, encompassing the Nine-State, increasing imperial rule over the world."
This Last Saint deeply agrees, even he cannot deny the merits of that Saint.
The [Nine-State Earth Vein] is essentially a prototype of another [Historical Painting Wall].
If developed further, it might become another National Guardian Divine Artifact!
Certainly, considering the ongoing development of the [Eternal Sun and Moon], there are already three prototypes of National Guardian Divine Artifacts.
Among which two appeared only in recent years, a testament to how times change, truly astonishing.
"If he hadn’t taken away the core of the Earth Vein, I wouldn’t have been so troubled."
Xin Xichen sighs, "Not able to monitor the Earth Vein’s information, the governance is too weak... unable to discover your Xirong Divine Craftsman identity through the Earth Vein, do you Xirong Divine Craftsmen have any methods?"
The Sword Fairy freezes.
What does this mean?
Are you asking us to decode the Earth Vein for you, and let you catch us through the Earth Vein?
Do you think it’s okay to say it so plainly?
The Sword Fairy shakes her head frantically.
"No way, no way... um, you should ask Doukou Hong, whether a new Immortal Spirit Root Divine Technique can be developed."
"I think since it’s a [network], maybe create a Yin Spirit’s Trojan virus—Zhenzi, crawling along the cable to kill from the TV of the other side."
"TV?" Xin Xichen says.
"Yes, it’s the communication projection."
The Sword Fairy says: "For instance, if I’m chatting with some entity, suddenly a monster crawls over in the projected image from the other side, wearing white, with disheveled hair, and it looks terrifying."
Xin Xichen doesn’t realize Sword Fairy is playing a joke, and instead, starts thinking seriously:
"If there’s truly an Earth-bound Spirit creeping along the Earth Vein, it wouldn’t be an Earth-bound Spirit... if it’s not controlled by the region, that would be the true terror!"
"If we could control this so-called Zhenzi, we could regulate the Earth Vein strictly, and if uncontrolled, it would cause calamities through the Earth Vein."
Xin Xichen shows a look of reflection.
This kind of discussion and summary with peers in the circle, the clash of ideas, is something he hasn’t experienced in a long time.
Indeed, after coming back from the crypt, living once more is great.
He finds this new world truly interesting and feels renewed hope and anticipation for the future, a new era where he can fully unleash his potential.
Then, the Sword Fairy asks: "Emperor, what about the Crown Prince Consort, didn’t you bring her with you?"
"She manages the Capital City, and as the Sun and Moon of the nursery, she cannot leave the Nine-State on a whim." Xin Xichen answers: "Currently, the situation in the Capital City is a bit complex, with assorted creatures gathered in one place. Although my main body is presiding there, I’m too lazy to manage..."
Soon.
They talk about business again.
Regarding the defense tower, Sword Fairy also has some new ideas.
"That defense tower needs an old ancestor to preside over, capable of amplifying the old ancestor’s bombardment power."
The Sword Fairy says: "However, the firing mechanism of these old ancestors is not flexible at all, dispatching their strikes by themselves is too scattered!"
"What are you planning?" Xin Xichen glances at the Sword Fairy, his expression indifferent.
The Sword Fairy boasts: "I suggest using a bouncing mechanism to link all defense tower beams together."
"I call this defense tower the Light Prism Tower."
"The beams of each tower bounce in a chain like network cables onto one tower, consolidating the force for a unified attack."
"For example, if the mana of three thousand ancestors bounces onto me, infusing into my Divine Weapon, how powerful would that mana be? I could unleash an earth-shattering strike, cutting out an army of scarecrows!"
The Sword Fairy’s abacus is loud, audible even in the neighboring continent.
