I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players-Chapter 513 - 10: Power Distribution, Heaven in Turmoil (Part 2)
He currently belongs to a neutral unit, understanding the currents of such things is enough.
Ning Zheng glanced through the intelligence briefly, his expression slightly tense, and then he smiled: "This intelligence is good... it will help us return and firmly establish our foothold in the Nine-State."
Perhaps.
This hundred-year disappearance at a blink of an eye might not be a bad thing.
The hundred years of accumulation have given them foundation, allowing them to officially vie to be one of the top forces in the Nine-State.
After all, a hundred years ago, there was no foundation, no intelligence network, no power...
They were merely a hollow name!
Essentially, they were a shell force attached to the Great Noble Families like Doukou Hong and Xinyi Baisan.
Now upon their return, Xirong Academy has also cultivated a batch of new talents, so they have manpower.
Becoming one of the top professional forces in the Nine-State is essentially Ning Zheng’s goal.
As for dominating the world, competing for the Nine-State?
Why bother rebelling to become a Saint?
They are still a non-combat professional power.
Becoming the 98th of the top human forces out of 97 is Ning Zheng’s goal.
Of course, when he becomes the 98th top force, he will immediately ascend to the number one top force.
His reputation is no joke.
A nominally first top Holy Land is still first!
The Sword Fairy took a sip of tea:
"Over these years, the newcomers in the profession circle all admire us immensely, we have been thoroughly deified... it’s easier for the dead to become a white moonlight in people’s hearts, a cinnabar mole."
The Sword Fairy said: "Especially after we left, the research speed of their major forces slowed significantly, only now do they realize our importance."
For example, the research progress of Immortal Beasts significantly slowed down.
Because the Yin Yang Creation Furnace vanished.
The current Immortal Beasts are improvements on the first batch of Immortal Beasts fused back then.
But they still hope for new breeds to appear, unfortunately, without the Yin Yang Creation Furnace they cannot achieve it.
"This has made many people both respect and fear us, respect for us as we pioneered the Immortal Path, fear of us Xirong Divine Craftsmen returning and taking over their business!"
"Because it’s obvious to those who see clearly that the foundation of Xirong City has grown, and when we return, we can attempt to be independent, no longer needing to rely entirely on them."
"Even the Doukou Family is a bit anxious, fearing that we won’t cooperate with them."
The Sword Fairy showed a complicated expression.
In business, they don’t want Xirong to abandon them and monopolize everything.
Ning Zheng nodded: "Doukou Hong and we have a good relationship, but that doesn’t mean the Doukou Family has a good relationship with us. Even if relations are good, people need to ensure their interests."
The Sword Fairy continued:
"It was fine for the first few decades, but recently, with Immortal Artifacts fully matured, various listening methods for the Nine-State were developed."
"I also destroyed the previous Communication Token, fearing that the manor would contact me and be secretly monitored by those bastards." The Sword Fairy sighed a bit while saying this, "In order to continue cooperating with us, they simply act inhumane!"
"Are they indeed going to make a move on us?" Ning Zheng said.
Ning Zheng knew, their suspicion had already arisen!
Previously, during cooperation, everyone took what they needed, but now, with Xirong becoming a powerful force, and Xirong Academy having countless subordinates, they do not need them to help with matters... they fear that after Xirong returns and becomes completely independent, they will grab hold of Xirong and bind it tightly together.
It concerns the rise and fall of their family, it’s normal for them to grab Xirong.
"They won’t go as far as to kill us, the scholars have their limits, but to capture us, maybe for joining by marriage, political union, merging." the Sword Fairy said, "In any case, once captured, the Lord of the Manor will have many wives, our manor’s high-level people like the old steward will be matched with seven or eight concubines, even the three ancestors will have to get a spouse... combining the bloodlines of both families is called a strong alliance."
"Of course, it might not be one noble family capturing us. If they join forces to capture us, it’ll be even worse when it comes to splitting spoils, then it’s both sides sending wives over, and a few families’ bloodlines ganging up on us."
Ning Zheng shook his head repeatedly at this.
Those scholarly noble families really would go that far.
It seems we must be careful.
Once they capture the manor, even small blacksmiths would end up matched with a bunch of wives.
After all, those old forces might have means to regrow."
Wouldn’t that be terrible?
Ning Zheng now also mixes on the forums and knows what this implies.
The Sword Casting Simulator is really going to turn into a racy simulation!!
A bunch of beauties surrounding a small blacksmith, drained dry like a cow, bodies scattered everywhere, just imagining the casualties CG image is miserable.
This is the miserable state of being captured!
To make sure the small blacksmiths focus on forging swords and aren’t lost in beauty, Ning Zheng must absolutely not let outsiders know the location of the manor.
Swear to protect the chastity of the small blacksmiths.
"These forces are simply inhumane!" Ning Zheng felt a heavy sense of mission in his heart.
She took out a newly designed Communication Token, "We will use this from now on, the Yin Yang Communication Token, it cannot be eavesdropped." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
"Who gave it to you?" Ning Zheng checked it out.
"The current Emperor, he has been very good to us these past years."
The Sword Fairy said: "The Emperor intends to reform the Nine-State, but there is a lot of resistance, this Token was developed by the Emperor to resist monitoring and prevent interference and tracking."
Ning Zheng thought for a moment, placed the Token on the table without taking it, "In future exchanges, I will contact you by other means."
Xin Xichen was also someone they supported to rise, they hold the credentials of following the Dragon.
Yet, caution cannot be without.
This Token may not be monitored by others, but could Xin Xichen not monitor it?
If, by chance, Xin Xichen wants to marry off ten or eight princesses to him?
Soon, Ning Zheng and the Sword Fairy chatted a bit, and she handed Ning Zheng a Storage Ring.
Inside were various Divine Summoning Plaques, "Advanced Experience Books" she had collected over the hundred years, capable of granting knowledge of some High Tier professionals.
The Sword Fairy finally hesitated, but ultimately chose to speak:
"Actually, not only I am preparing for the manor’s comeback, but the Doukou Family is also preparing for our comeback."
"Oh?" Ning Zheng was startled.
The Sword Fairy took out a document, "Over these years, they have been studying Immortal Spirit Roots with huge breakthroughs! They even came up with a super Divine Technique for Immortal Spirit Roots, but lack the technology to forge it."
"This document, it contains the Divine Technique of the Immortal Spirit Root, serving as a collaboration gift for our debut, indicating the possibility to cooperate in casting it because once we emerge in the world, it’s best to use an Immortal Artifact to regain our prestige!"
Ning Zheng looked at the information with a shocked expression.
This thing...
The strength of this Immortal Artifact, if crafted together with the Doukou Family, would change the entire Nine-State.
It is indeed a generous gift!
The Doukou Family still knows how to invest as always.
"Keep the Divine Summoning Plaques for now, memorize all this information, the data on Immortal Artifacts needs to be discussed, I’ll think about it once I’m back."
Ning Zheng left Xin’e Princess’s place, and her consciousness rapidly returned to the inn.
