I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players-Chapter 422 - 215: Qi Fortune Value Increases Again
Actually, the Sword Fairy’s proposal isn’t a bad idea.
Because the combat power and accomplishments of those founding heroes were indeed extraordinary, but they were limited by the era, and the divine techniques of their spiritual roots weren’t that powerful.
In that era, it was impossible to obtain good spiritual roots.
Take Li Wanqi, the tomb owner of the Scaly Gate, for example.
Middle Grade Water Spirit Root.
Most of the founding heroes had middle, upper grade spiritual roots.
Actually, there were more lower grade roots, but most of them died in the prolonged wars.
So, gathering the mana of these ancestors on the Sword Fairy’s celestial grade divine weapon is feasible.
"We can consider this, but first let’s build the first defense tower."
Xin Xichen rose gracefully.
Soon, he and Xinyi Baisan went to the blacksmith’s shop, warmly discussing some structures and forging techniques.
On this day. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
—The Last Saint formally joined the Xirong Divine Craftsman team.
...
...
Sword Casting Manor.
Once the manor received the news, everyone was dumbfounded.
After a moment of silence, they couldn’t help but start criticizing.
"This is unprecedented! Didn’t the Saint say he was here for a southern tour, vacationing at the temporary palace?"
"Is he here to forge iron with us? Welcome to our Sword Casting Manor blacksmith shop, where you can experience the fancy dive into blacksmithing."
"He’s too down-to-earth! Why don’t you go to the Red House, the brothel for some fun, meet beauties like Xia Yuhuo, and cause some pregnancies? Isn’t that the normal tourism route for an emperor’s southern tour?"
"Exactly, wasn’t he supposed to sire a crown prince?"
The crowd clamored, thinking this was utterly absurd.
"He personally came to farm with us, organize tower defense, infrastructure, and set traps together to kill!"
"I suspect this Saint is taking matters into his own hands, fighting against rebels, marking the big plot of the monster siege!"
"Reminds me of our manor’s layout, all the tower defense, and the days of hunting the Crow King."
"So, those assassins must be the Crow King?"
"Looks like we need to teach the Saint how to trick people, invite him to play tower defense, bring out our funeral house! Lure them into the room, ring the bell, chop off the Crow King’s head, and see the assassins off!"
"Hahaha, classic plot reappears!"
...
...
The plot is too ridiculous.
Jiu Shui Saint, after placing the order, sits in the palace, waiting for us to finish the weapon.
Xin Dynasty Saint, after placing the order, directly joined our team to work for us.
Have we recruited a temporary worker NPC: Xin Dynasty Saint?
This worker is quite powerful!!!
Manager’s room.
Jiucai Rong put down his documents, touched his chin, and began analyzing:
"I think this person must have been very diligent in life, working nine to five in the imperial palace, clearly an old worker, one of those who just can’t stay idle..."
"If he weren’t a saint, I’d really want to squeeze this out of him."
Jiucai Rong’s old habits emerged.
As a capitalist, he wants to squeeze everyone he sees.
Seeing this innate working holy body as a saint, his eyes gleamed with greed!
He wasn’t scared at all!
No matter your status or position, he wants to recruit you to work.
But Night Mad Cultivator frowned, showing hesitation: "Something feels off, I feel something’s very off."
"What’s off?" Jiucai Rong was puzzled.
Night Mad Cultivator said: "This innate working holy body of a saint feels wrong, does he have some kind of sneaky learning divine technique, coming here to secretly learn from us? Craving our bodies? Our knowledge?"
He felt that the Saint must have deep intentions.
Although he doesn’t know the details of the Fire of Civilization, this Saint might want them to cultivate, amassing more knowledge in life for better ’burning paper money’ after death, as entrance reading material for future royal children.
Anyway, Night Mad Cultivator just feels... something’s off.
Jiucai Rong rolled his eyes: "Do you have Shi Youyou anxiety disorder? Thinking someone is out to steal our techniques? That’s a saint."
"It’s not like he’s some kind of learning expert Demon Cultivator NPC from the Shi Family, hiding in the shadows to secretly learn our Earth Eating Skill, brick moving technique, boasting technique... stealing our patents."
Night Mad Cultivator thought, realizing he might be overthinking it.
A saint is clearly a powerful scholar, knowledgeable and talented.
Even gave hints to various people in the team.
A pinnacle of humanity wouldn’t sneakily learn our middle-grade blacksmithing skills, right?
We’re so useless!
Look at Daojiu, his demeanor, can’t even join the Ark Series Divine Weapon, and is working on that ’Yan Shuangying Mechanical Armor’ order in the blacksmith shop with hundreds of people.
Rather than sneaking blacksmithing medical skills.
It seems more likely he wants to secretly learn the quirky medical skills of the Medical Fairy, Jiucai’s Earth Eating Skill, the blacksmith’s father-recognizing technique, Su Yuniang’s miscellaneous fish skill.
Jiucai Rong said: "Maybe he’s just curious? Simply wants to draw our team closer?! And by helping us build, he’s overseeing, preventing cutting corners, jointly resisting enemy invasion."
"Hmm, that’s the only understanding possible."
Night Mad Cultivator still felt a bit off about this big shot personally stepping down.
But.
Who could refuse a top-notch scholar who’s both knowledgeable and friendly helping you?
Maybe it’s just his tendency to meddle with drop rates manifesting again.
Throwing them a saint-level assist, fearing they couldn’t survive the main storyline.
Yes, thank you for the planning!
For modding the drop rates, even provided such a huge cheat, arranged a saint for us.
We really underestimated the planner’s favor!
...
...
"The Saint is coming?"
Ning Zheng’s expression was peculiar, feeling like he should keep his distance.
So friendly?
He instinctively felt that this person didn’t have good intentions.
—Coming for me!!
Although he didn’t know what the other person was planning, hiding seemed to be the best course of action.
As long as I keep low, I can survive until the end of time.
Regarding that Saint, Ning Zheng dared not ask, nor did he dare to interact.
"Today, if we calculate the time, it’s just past seven days since the Three Flowers were plucked."
Ning Zheng’s Three Flowers had grown anew, looking at the tender new Three Flowers, he was in a very good mood.
"They seem much tougher this time, perhaps like scallions, the more you pick, the thicker they grow?"
He touched his chin.
It seems a lot of plants are like this; if you cut them off, they grow back stronger.
But Ning Zheng currently had no intention of cutting them off again; it’s rare for the Three Flowers to grow, so he planned to cultivate for some more time before deciding.
He looked at his current Qi Fortune Value:
Seventy thousand.
Maybe I should save up to give Dizzy a half-awakening?
But now’s not the time yet.
When Dizzy’s emotions are intensely fluctuating, nearing a breakthrough, I’ll then push a wave of Qi Fortune Value.
Many Embers meet all sorts of conditions yet still can’t break through that bottleneck, unable to become the Ghost King.
A small gap, a world of difference.
"Wasn’t it that before, I said I would use 100,000 Qi Fortune Value to increase the iron forge limit by 1,000 spots?"
Ning Zheng was somewhat troubled, "I still can’t manage to save enough money."
But thinking carefully, after all, only 500 spots have been used, and there are still 500 more unused.
Rushing to increase the limit right now doesn’t seem cost-effective.
Just then, Ning Zheng suddenly received a message from the Shi Family.
Shi Youxing’s voice today was exceptionally sweet and cloying, like the Sect Leader from the Hehuan Sect: "Recently, we’ve received another batch of Female Ghosts from the No-Life Sect, do you want them?"
Ning Zheng was startled.
This woman has a big problem, so seductive, could she be thinking about marriage?
The Shi Family and the Blood Separation Flower Li Family have been marrying each other for generations, and with Dizzy gaining recent fame, he’s completely caught her interest.
Probably another one wanting to marry into the manor and steal our blacksmith shop’s techniques.
More blatant than Shi Youyou’s investigations, she came directly to stay here.
However, Ning Zheng pretended not to hear her cloying voice: "Yes, of course, we’ll take Female Ghosts, we accept unlimited."
On Xinyi Continent, after being provoked once, they’ve been constantly encircling the No-Life Sect.
They sporadically besieged several bases, acquiring 500 Female Ghosts.
Female Ghosts = 1,000 daily Qi Fortune Value.
This stuff has always been in great demand.
"By the way, can you ask about that Dizzy..." Shi Youxing whispered.
Got it.
It’s aimed at Dizzy.
Could she want to marry Dizzy? That’s Erya’s.
Tauren is not right.
Ning Zheng feigned regret: "We almost became a subordinate family, but unfortunately, there’s only one Dizzy, and he can’t help us much."
"After all, it’s not easy for a Patrol Envoy to abuse his power, especially after the Fang Family’s precedent, with Xirong Divine Craftsman not accommodating us, it might even lead to annihilating us to set an example."
The Shi Family felt a bit frightened upon hearing this.
The Fang Family was annihilated because of the Patrol Envoy’s position.
"Well, well..." Shi Youxing said.
Ning Zheng said: "How about this, go find Dizzy, it’s impossible for him to abuse power, but since you’re all former Scaly Gate families, he’s familiar with the local area and might offer a more ordinary position."
"That would be great."
Shi Youxing quickly said: "We wouldn’t have any problems in the construction department, we’ve done a lot of tomb raiding, familiar with construction, after all, this Ximen was originally a massive tomb."
Tomb raiding has always been about seeking dragons and digging holes.
Regarding Feng Shui, the structure of tombs requires deep understanding.
Now constructing tombs is just about the same.
Ning Zheng nodded, "That works, I hope you can settle in, I heard they’re still building defenses over there, you might even meet the Xirong team at the teleportation array."
"And you?" Shi Youxing said: "No need to abuse power, blending in with a normal position, no one would say too much."
"Us? We’ll be a bit later, avoiding suspicion." Ning Zheng said.
"Understood, indeed it’s good to avoid suspicion." Shi Youxing understood, better safe than sorry, that’s always the right path.
Ning Zheng thought the Shi Family’s arrangement made a lot of sense.
Like the Blood Separation Flower Li Family, the Shi Family has always been establishing manors outside, and when chaos arises, the Saint’s gaze would seal their fate.
Staying outside ensures self-preservation.
But for those who can’t protect themselves, hiding in the State City is wise.
And since the Shi Family originated from the Scaly Gate, joining as a subordinate family under my command isn’t bad.
Because the Shi Family is known and can be trusted.
Outsiders wouldn’t know the inner workings.
Soon, the Sword Casting Manor will also become one of the subordinate families, joining Ximen.
But after many families move in, blending in will make one more inconspicuous.
Shi Youxing was in a pleasant mood: "I won’t collect money for the 500 Female Ghosts this time!"
This money might mean little to Ning Zheng, but for the Shi Family, it’s a huge sum.
The market price per Female Ghost is quite high now, at 280 Magic Coins.
These 500 Female Ghosts total 140,000 Magic Coins.
Of course, rules are rules, business is business, money must still be collected.
Besides, before this.
For the Shi Family’s 10 bosses, he gave them 30,000 Magic Coins each, amounting to 300,000 Magic Coins.
