I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players-Chapter 440 - 233: Xi Rong, I Will Kill You!

The time rewinds to a few months ago.

Gui Pu was abandoned in the Xinyi Continent City among the group heading to the Capital City.

Because he relied on the blood-sucking of the Sword Fairy and forcibly broke through to the Three Elements Realm in Pingchang City, and then was forcibly cut off by Jian Xin, removing his memories about this aspect.

The flaws in his body were too great, causing his cultivation to nearly come to a halt.

The early period of the Three Elements Realm was the limit of his lifetime.

His heart was unwilling, but so what?

Later, during the great battle of the Xinyi Continent City attacking the group heading to the Capital City, he witnessed the terror of the mysterious Vice Sect Leader of the No-Life Sect.

As he was dodging the chaos everywhere, he accidentally encountered this mysterious Divine Summoning Plaque.

The Divine Summoning Plaque, which contained Muddy Qi, was like the elder ring from old storybooks, or the grandpa in a ring.

He claimed to be: Xin’s Flower, meaning the newborn flower of the era!

This Xin’s Flower was knowledgeable in the astronomical and geographical, knowing everything.

Not only teaching various spells, but also guiding him to repair his foundation of the Three Elements Realm.

Even guiding him to seek several secret realms, among which were legendary treasures that allowed him to continuously absorb and open the Three Flowers.

In just a few months, he had already broken through to the Two-Phase Realm.

Of course, his Two-Phase Realm was forcibly broken through using Demon Path means, having only the realm but lacking combat power.

If nothing unexpected happened, he would only remain at this initial level of the Two-Phase Realm for his lifetime.

"Don’t worry."

"Listen to me, you will progress faster than those cultivators who reincarnate and cultivate anew."

"They cultivate properly, fearing foundational damage. I will teach you to cultivate quickly, if the foundation is damaged, it can be repaired later."

"Earlier, your Three Flowers were damaged and needed a One Heart Realm level treasure to repair, and I have already found it for you."

"Now, your Two-Phase Realm foundation is shattered, this is not easy to repair. This is the cost of rapid cultivation... It requires the core of the ’Chronicles of Time,’ the Supreme Treasure of the Nine-State, to mend."

Gui Pu remained silent.

That is the Supreme Treasure of the Nine-State, coveted by all forces and cultivators in the world!

How could a mere minor Two-Phase Realm cultivator like me have the qualifications to snatch it and repair my own small cultivator foundation?

"So, I have sent you to the Capital City, to take its core," Xin’s Flower said calmly.

He had been hiding in Xinyi Continent City for countless years, trying to study the descendants of Xin Dynasty bloodline... and Gui Pu was the one he specifically sought.

The initial thought was that he was the first owner of the Yin Yang Rice Flower Sword, to explore his memory and search for the whereabouts of the true body of the Xirong Divine Craftsman.

What a pity!

He arrived late, the memory had already been cut away by Jian Xin.

Helplessly, he could only help Gui Pu with his cultivation and formulate another plan.

Just moments ago, he guided Gui Pu to find such ancient figures, to help them a little, to research and create a competitive Eternal Divine Soldier, opposing the Xirong Divine Craftsman, which is akin to opposing the Last Saint.

He cannot let the other party have an easy time.

His intention was to attempt to ignite the ’Yin Yang Corpse-Slaying Sword’ into a book, to find clues of the Xirong Divine Craftsman’s heritage location.

Still unsuccessful.

Instead, those elders, their memories were infused, showing ugly behaviors.

Twice in a row, unable to locate the hidden location of the Xirong Divine Craftsman, he could only temporarily give up, sending Gui Pu to the Capital City.

"I haven’t been to the Capital City for a long time."

The aged voice resounded again in Gui Pu’s mind, carrying endless vicissitudes:

"In today’s world, almost no one understands this ancient imperial palace of the Xin Dynasty era better than I do because... I was once one of the masters here. I’ll take you inside, walking like on flat ground."

"Alright," Gui Pu took a deep breath.

He didn’t know who this existence was, but it must be terrifying in origin, being one of the masters already contained an extremely frightening meaning.

The depths of this Nine-State are too immense, hiding too many terrifying ancient existences.

The voice from the Divine Summoning Plaque laughed coldly:

"Avoiding this Saint’s flaw and obtaining the core is very simple, even if you’re just a Two-Phase Realm, you can leverage it effectively... That’s why I’ve insisted you break through to the Two-Phase Realm at all costs first."

Gui Pu wasn’t foolish, sensing the ill intent of this mysterious existence.

But he had no choice.

Seeking wealth and fortune amidst peril, if he cultivated on his own, he would reach the end of his life at the Three Elements Realm.

After a while, several mysterious existences appeared at the city gate one after another.

The voice from Gui Pu’s body, with a faint smile, said: "Fellow Daoists, you have arrived."

Those existence from the tombs nodded slightly.

The aged voice from Gui Pu’s body laughed and said:

"The Xinyi Chen on the throne is merely a pawn of ours."

"I specifically persuaded you not to kill him, to wait for a period, and then enjoy the fruits of his labor!"

He spoke volubly, his voice carrying a powerful sense of pressure and persuasion, strategizing confidently:

"It seems as though he has developed the cultivation technique for the Immortal Spirit Root, opening up an era..."

"But those were developed by him according to his logic for us. The land he conquered, the future he created, shall all be taken over by us."

The voice conveyed an indescribable pride,

"After all, he, a pure-blooded genius, is most suitable for this era, it would be a pity not to open up a future."

Everyone agreed.

After all, he is already dead, they are never afraid.

Only that fool Chang Wudao would clash head-on with a dead man!

To deal with a dead man, why use brute force, it’s all about strategy!

And now, the timing of that one developing the Immortal Spirit Root was accurately calculated, letting him fulfill his historical mission.

Only then did they start taking action!

With the guidance of this Xin Dynasty royal insider, they would form the strongest exploration team of the Nine-State for secret realms, infiltrating the imperial palace.

"It’s been a long time since I’ve explored a secret realm like this."

"How could other palace exploration teams compare to ours?"

A presence spoke faintly.

Everyone harbored ulterior motives, claiming to wait for the sage of the Xin Dynasty to herald a new era, after which they would jointly take over.

Yet they all prepared to kill the sage of the Xin Dynasty afterward, then secretly seize power, to see whose methods were stronger.

At this moment, the Firewood Flower on Gui Pu’s body looked at these tomb-presences and sneered.

A group of pawns, nothing more.

Most of them are from the royal family of the Xin Dynasty’s written records and books.

Not only the Last Saint knows your logic, behavior, and can predict your actions.

He too can predict and uses them as pawns.

The Xin Xichen on that throne would never expect there to be another existence, holding this foundation, opposing him.

His advantage will vanish completely!

"Look, that person is Princess Xin’e."

The aged voice from Gui Pu conveyed, "This person is gentle by nature and has a soft heart. Go and talk with her, mix into the imperial palace."

"Once inside the palace, I’ll teach you how to avoid the patrolling posts, various secret codes, hidden passages, and the flaws of the concealed masters of this era, coming and going as you please."

"I’ll help you find the flaws of that Saint, driving him mad."

"Amidst the chaos of the capital, with the Saint in madness, seize his core!"

Clearly, they already had a plan.

Gui Pu understood deep within and followed that one’s voice guidance, approaching Princess Xin’e.

The princess, indeed, was kind-hearted.

After a round, she not only took them away but also took along a few cultivators, and a group of people headed towards the capital city.

Even those ancient tomb-presences nodded slightly, secretly noting that this seeming scion of the Xin Dynasty’s royal family was quite talented.

The other side had known them for a long time!

Knew them for hundreds of thousands of years, hidden in the shadows.

Even the rapid downfall of the Jiushui Dynasty had the handiwork of this behind-the-scenes manipulator.

People speculated.

In the early years, there was an internal strife within the Xin Dynasty’s royal family.

This mysterious presence before them was a saint slain by Xin Xichen.

He was always discontent, scheming in the shadows, wanting to restore his Xin Dynasty.

After a while, Princess Xin’e led them into a room.

The [Happy Construction Site] instance officially started.

Gui Pu watched the scene before them: "..."

Wasn’t it said that this Princess Xin’e was very kind? Why does something seem off?

The presence of the Divine Summoning Plaque also fell into silence: "This..."

The ancient cultivators from the tombs: "..."

The dead maintain the logic from when they were alive; this will never change.

But how come this dead person is not quite like their living counterpart?

"The dead won’t change, it’s the living giving her advice, changing him."

The presence within the Divine Summoning Plaque quickly saw the clue:

"There’s a living person directing, but do not panic, let’s first observe, treat it as an ordinary secret realm, and do not provoke these specters into madness."

"The specters here are weak, but killing them will attract the capital’s patrol guards, creating a chain reaction, and we will be discovered, making this infiltration fail."

Soon, they were taken to move bricks.

And.

They were taught, hand by hand, how to build walls, construct houses, with a ghost foreman supervising them.

The presence within the Divine Summoning Plaque was increasingly familiar with the scene; weren’t these techniques from the "Brick-moving Guide"?

Even the minor details were identical!

"It’s him again, Xi Rong."

The presence within the Divine Summoning Plaque was thoroughly enraged; its voice carried a deep bitterness:

"Lingering soul, at meetings, it’s you, exploring the capital, it’s you... I want to kill you!!!"

Pa!

A whip lashed hard on him: "Work, what are you looking at?"

Gui Pu’s newly bought ancient-style clothes got torn, and he stood still, quietly lowering his head to move bricks.

Xi Rong, the Divine Craftsman, indeed was enigmatic and unpredictable.

The presence within the Divine Summoning Plaque accounted for everything, without a single oversight; yet, both setbacks were inflicted by Xi Rong, the Divine Craftsman.

Just yesterday, he taught this behind-the-scenes manipulator the brick-moving techniques.

Today, immediately he had this behind-the-scenes manipulator on a construction site.

They were so earnest!

"Pa, move bricks properly for me."

Another whip struck, causing Gui Pu’s whole body to tremble.

Gui Pu muttered secretly: "Senior, what should we do now? Our grand blueprint for entering the capital? Our plan to attack the Saint and steal the ’Heirloom Seal of the Realm’?"

Big Boss, where’s your ability to oversee everything without any oversight?

Saying the tombs were full of dead, above them was a Dead Saint, these repetitive logic creatures, you could easily manipulate them.

But now... blowing your horn so loudly, first being stuffed with chaotic brick-moving books by Xi Rong, then being taken to move bricks by Xi Rong.

The voice seemed choked for a while before it gritted its teeth and said:

"Let’s move bricks first."

The several ancient tomb owners nearby: "....."

Everyone present was once an apex existence of their era, dominating the world, sweeping through the Eight Wastelands with few rivals.

You were even the former owner here, to you, the capital was as flat as a steppe, yet you just led us into the city to move bricks?
