I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players-Chapter 511 - 9: Emergence, Meeting the Sword Fairy!
"This appearance..."
Ning Zheng didn’t reveal his face at the time.
His face was shrouded in black mist; this appearance was probably the image of a hero in the painter’s mind.
He looked at the worshipers around him, and a vague thought arose in his heart: "These devout academic cultivators might be able to cut off a bit of Qi fortune value."
He merely glanced deeply at Xirong Academy, didn’t even enter the gates, and melded into the crowd, disappearing without a trace.
He needed to contact his forces again, but he couldn’t use the previous communication token.
Directly seeking out the Sword Fairy, face-to-face, was the best choice.
Because the Sword Fairy knew many things over the years that Ning Zheng did not.
But he couldn’t directly enter the academy to find people; he had to find another way.
Clang!
Ning Zheng found an inn to stay in; the Three Flowers rose.
Suddenly, with a fierce collision, he flew into the sky and landed in the nursery, growing over Xin’e Princess’s mansion.
Princess Xin’e was the best medium for finding the Sword Fairy, bar none.
"Luckily, I left this hidden method of contact back then, otherwise, it would really be troublesome, with no home to return to." At this moment, ’Princess Xin’e’ gradually sprouted petals on top of her head, growing six fresh flowers.
This time, he was the true Ghost King of the No-Life Sect.
Who would dare say he was fake?
Ning Zheng, as a princess of the capital city, stretched lazily and called the maid next door, saying blandly, "Let’s go out for a walk." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
"Yes."
Ning Zheng took two maids out, looking at the bustling downtown of the capital, feeling somewhat melancholic.
There were still flowers everywhere, the human path flourishing.
In this center named the capital city, who knows how many stories have happened.
"However, is this... Xin Xichen awakened?" Ning Zheng didn’t know about the mastermind’s matters; seeing no one in the capital afraid of a certain person’s frenzy, it was obvious he had guessed the truth.
He immediately understood in his heart.
Was he the one who went to meet the Jiu Shui Saint?
It was easy to guess what his awakened obsession was.
So, was publicizing his family’s painstakingly acquired immortal technique a deal between the Jiu Shui Saint and him?
"He truly lived, and the living are the hardest to predict. Who knows about this high-above saint’s attitude towards us a hundred years from now."
Ning Zheng pondered.
Sometimes, the living are scarier than ghosts, especially the emperor’s mind.
The thoughts of the living are simply incomprehensible, but ghosts can be understood.
Ghosts are much easier to deal with; you just need to be wary of a ghost turning berserk, no need to worry about sudden betrayal.
Ning Zheng was walking down the street at this time, and occasionally, people on the street would look at him and call "Lord Princess" or "Your Highness Princess"...
Obviously, Princess Xin’e remained as popular as ever with the people.
This time, Ning Zheng didn’t plan to rush into researching Princess Xin’e’s development over the years but rather said deeply, "Help me contact the person in charge of the Xirong Divine Craftsman force, the Sword Fairy."
"Yes!" the maid immediately responded.
Clearly, as a princess of the royal family in the capital, just like with other royal members and forces, she regularly maintained contact with the Xirong forces.
Soon, the maid took out a newly made communication token, and Ning Zheng glanced at its style.
Moments later, the maid nodded and said, "The one will come to the princess’s mansion as a guest in half a two-hour."
Ning Zheng nodded, taking another tour around the capital city.
The capital city today was rebuilt luxuriously, especially the Royal Academy, gathering the Nine-State’s strongest cultivators.
He skillfully sat down in a restaurant in the capital, continuing to listen to the idle chat.
"Have you heard? The nursery dragon palace has expanded again."
The Human Race had a safe zone in the nursery, the capital city, and these Divine Beast Race dragons also had a safe zone in the nursery, the dragon palace, where they guided the Three Elements Realm of the Dragon Race’s Three Flowers to cultivate.
Originally, the Dragon Race’s base was small and couldn’t compare with the capital, but now, as the era progressed and the nursery continually reclaimed lands, their area in the nursery gradually expanded.
"What are they so proud of? They’re just taking advantage of us humans."
"Yeah, those dragons, what’s the big deal about them? It’s not like we just blew up their ancestral graves or burned their genealogy, can’t they be more magnanimous and consider others’ perspectives?"
"Exactly."
...
Ning Zheng listened silently.
In the current version, the Ghost King received an epic-level enhancement.
Previously, the Ghost King was merely the leader of the Ghost Race with innate advantages.
But now, the Ghost Kings are the first ones with Immortal Spirit Roots and are destined to be the leaders of the era.
After all, cultivators with Immortal Spirit Roots now fall into two categories.
1. Ghost King.
2. Young cultivators.
The Ghost King’s cultivation in various realms isn’t low, and by consuming ghosts, they can cultivate rapidly.
Young cultivators only started cultivating a hundred years ago; although they progress thousands of times faster, reaching Three Elements Realm at a hundred is already genius level, enough to make it onto the Nine-State Celestial Pride List, just like Gui Pu in the past.
But now, these hundred-year-old cultivators, the strongest have already reached Two-Phase Realm.
They’re leading by a whole great realm.
Yet, with such rapid cultivation, it’s estimated to take a thousand years to reach Sect Leader level and catch up with top forces.
The growth of these seedlings is too slow; for now, it still relies on the Ghost King to conquer the world!
In thought, Ning Zheng saw a cloaked person enter the door and slowly sit down in front of him.
Removing the cloak, the Sword Fairy said, "This is not a place to stay long; let’s go to a safe place."
Ning Zheng stood up and followed the Sword Fairy out.
Quickly, they arrived at a Xirong force’s estate.
As soon as they entered, the Sword Fairy was delighted, "Lord of the Manor, you have finally returned... Back then, you pacified most of the nursery’s forbidden zones, suppressed the imperial mausoleum, which was shockingly heroic and left me in awe; I truly admire you! I adore you!"
"How do you know it’s our manor that unsealed?" Ning Zheng asked, "How did you know it was me?"
The Sword Fairy was very pleased, "Princess Xin’e communicates with me, not in such an official manner."
On the surface, Princess Xin’e and he are best friends, but secretly, they are followers of the new No-Life Sect.
Only the legendary Manor Master would descend in this manner.
After all, this has happened once before.
Unfortunately, the Lord of the Manor has already died; now he’s probably a defective, berserk ghost.
How tragic!
The Sword Fairy’s heart was in great pain: "All because of those little craftsmen, I lost such a big Manor Master, such a handsome persona, who died as soon as he debuted."
"I am a living person, I must accommodate this ghostly Manor Master, after all, ghosts might become berserk."
She felt a great sense of superiority in her heart.
"Lord of the Manor, are we officially making a comeback?" The Sword Fairy, communicating formally with the legendary Manor Master for the first time, was a bit excited.
A hundred years had passed, but the Sword Fairy hadn’t changed.
Just like Ning Jiaojiao, as an Earth-bound Spirit who repeats logic, they wouldn’t change their personality, their life pausing forever at the moment of death.
"We are preparing to make a comeback," Ning Zheng said.
"Then we need to prepare," the Sword Fairy said seriously. "We had better organize a sales event, perhaps even an immortal artifact that shocks the world, to officially announce our return... After all, now many are spreading rumors in secret, questioning our inheritance, saying we’re no longer as strong as we used to be."
"This needs to be carefully planned," Ning Zheng responded immediately.
"Yes," the Sword Fairy said, "The Nine-State is watching us; over the years, there have been many spies, hidden currents surging, and we’ve been on the cutting edge for years, needing caution."
