I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players-Chapter 521 - 16: Birth of the Upper Grade Human God Spiritual Root
These petty blacksmiths, with their furtive and cunning expressions, Ning Zheng instantly understood.
Taking me to see the cultivation process of upper-grade spiritual roots is a sham.
It’s clear that secretly they’re saying: We’ve already prepared the groundwork, hurry up and secretly alter the card draw rate to yield SSR spiritual roots.
"Take me to have a look," he said.
Ning Zheng thought with relief, having just returned from an outing, capitalizing on the fame of Xi Rong’s emergence, and earning a side income.
Soon, Ning Zheng followed them, traversing the manor’s bustling plaza, and arrived at the spirit farmers’ area behind.
The plants spread across the mountains and fields, neatly arranged.
In the distance, spirit farmers are planting, evidently having taken a daily task for petty blacksmiths.
The most novel aspect is the opening of a sea field, where various ocean spirit grasses float up and down in the blue sea water.
The sea field is approximately a thousand square meters, quite a considerable area.
Ning Zheng’s eyes showed a hint of curiosity as he felt the salty, moist ocean air: "What is this?"
"It was just finished today!"
The Mudworker introduced: "In the past two days, we’ve opened up a sea field in the manor, where sea root spirits, various corals, and seaweeds are growing."
"The painting cards can’t be used anymore, weren’t we planning to craft new low-end weapons to sell to sea race cities? When in Rome, use these unique spiritual roots of the sea race."
He pointed at the seaweeds:
"Currently, our enchanter team is opening three flowers and has started planting seaweeds."
"Look over there."
He pointed toward the enchanter house in the distance.
Although the distance was long, Ning Zheng’s vision was strong, seeing team leader Su Yuniang commanding a group to open coral spiritual roots.
Once the coral completed its spiritual roots, they directly transformed into dragon horns over their heads.
"Look, my dragon race third crown prince!"
"I am truly a handsome devil."
"Hahaha! Hahaha!"
...
Ning Zheng frowned, "These spiritual roots grow into coral horns on the head?"
Generally speaking, planted spiritual roots could subtly affect a person’s appearance.
The most common changes are hair color and style.
Take the previous wine rice, for example, which directly turned into golden wheat-bundle hair, heavily tugging and pulling to produce spirit rice.
And the Firewood Royal Family’s Firewood Divine Power, a flame on the forehead.
"Hmm, sea race spiritual roots seem to be like this."
Jiucai Rong nodded,
"Yesterday, we also had seaweed spiritual roots, but they turned into greenish seaweed curly wave heads on top, which we consider improper colors back home, so now everyone opens coral spiritual roots."
Jiucai Rong continued:
"No wonder Nine-State doesn’t have many opening; probably only coastal human races or certain minorities on islands would open them."
Ning Zheng understood.
Coral spiritual roots do look quite stylish.
"Our spirit field is soon going to achieve diversified planting," the Mudworker proudly said: "The new manor scene map is crafted with the characteristics of sea race weapons, blending in with the sea race... Who would even guess we’re Human Race’s Saint Xi Rong Divine Craftsman?"
"Well done," Ning Zheng encouraged, indeed needing deep concealment; those beings outside were eavesdropping everywhere, it was too dangerous.
The main entity hides and develops among the sea race.
No requirement to develop too high among the sea race.
Just like previously hiding near Pingchang City, conducting some business with local natives to cover up and not seem so abrupt.
The main source of profit is still Xirong City.
Actually, after going online this time, these blacksmiths were very excited because they hadn’t been digging ditches, moving bricks, and building houses for a long time.
Now digging a big pit and creating an artificial ocean suits them well.
A couple of days ago, wasn’t the manor’s activity range expanded?
The Embers Adventurer Team was able to venture out.
Those embers went swimming, diving, sea foraging, gathering various shells, sea fish...
That’s called having a blast!
They even set up cage traps, various absolute fishing nets.
A bountiful harvest of various sea products.
During the past two days, when Ning Zheng went out to harvest fortune value, they would start bonfire parties in the night.
Seafood feasts, daily indulgence in big crabs, big lobsters... almost eating themselves into gout.
Moreover, they had the Embers Adventurer Team outside hauling barrels of ocean water to the manor.
This sea field is also planned to have three layers, entirely encased in glass.
The assembly line has been restarted.
Ocean Spirit Grass planting—Ocean Enchanters opening three flowers—Sea water weapon forging smithy.
Ning Zheng found satisfaction in witnessing it, acknowledging the painting card was outdated; mass production of lower-grade + lower-grade low-level immortal artifacts was imperative.
Next, Ning Zheng bypassed the buildings and paddy fields, arriving at the deepest spiritual root cultivation spiritual Qi room.
There, various luxurious equipment, combined, amounted to roughly one million magic coins.
After all, earlier the looting of various shop warehouses in Xinyi State City also brought a batch here.
Because of this, their upper-grade spiritual root cultivation speed wasn’t slow.
"Master, it’s this one."
The Mudworker pointed at a transparent glass box.
Inside, a middle-grade Blood Separation Flower was growing, enveloped in spiritual energy, rapidly mutating.
Beside them, little spirit farmers leaned against the wall, faces filled with anticipation and longing, waiting for the opening of SSR spiritual roots.
Ning Zheng lowered his gaze, and soon a line of data appeared before him.
[1, Blood Separation Flower Upper-grade Spiritual Root: Enhances flesh direction, blood proliferation, separation, flesh regeneration, blood absorption, propagation of rudimentary blood species.]
[300,000 fortune value]
Three hundred thousand fortune value wasn’t surprising.
Because previously upgrading from lower-grade to middle-grade spiritual root, it also required twenty to thirty thousand fortune value.
Now upgrading from middle-grade to upper-grade, a tenfold increase is normal.
Calculated this way, the ordinary upper-grade Celestial Spirit Root’s upgrade price would be around 3 million fortune value.
However, seeing it this way, my Shadow Crocodile spiritual root was much cheaper than expected back then.
It could be because it was nearby.
Or within space turbulence, the few thousand fortune value wasn’t for acquiring a Celestial Spirit Root, but happened to open a spatial wormhole to deliver the item.
It’s like drawing a blind box.
"Perhaps, this blind box method can still be used."
"If there’s still some random floating upper-grade, Celestial Spirit Root within space turbulence, acquiring them for a few thousand each would be a huge gain."
"Although random spiritual roots might not be practical, they could have side effects, but using them for weapon crafting wouldn’t be shabby."
Ning Zheng considered that when given the opportunity in the future, he could try drawing blind boxes from the space turbulence.
But noticing how those petty blacksmiths previously handled storage bag relic blind boxes, losing nine out of ten bets, made Ning Zheng somewhat anxious.
His gaze shifted to the second option:
[2, Blood Separation Flower Upper-grade Spiritual Root: Extremely strong in skeletal direction, with skeletal battle armor and reflective damage.]
[300,000 fortune value]
The second one follows Rose Continent’s direction?
Ning Zheng’s gaze settled on the third option.
[3, Mutated Blood Separation Flower Upper-grade Spiritual Root: Human God’s blood irrigation, focusing on hair and meridians, stitching skeleton, skin, flesh, blood... comprehensively enhancing.]
[300,000 fortune value]
Presumably, Human God’s blood triggered the mutated spiritual root’s special conditions.
Under normal circumstances, this option wouldn’t be available.
"Not bad, no need to overthink it, this one only requires a two or three-day accumulation." Ning Zheng pointed his finger.
Whoosh.
The entire Blood Separation Flower spiritual root became more exotic.
Delicate strands of silk encompassed the petals and stem, exuding a unique aesthetic.
Ning Zheng turned to leave:
"Hopefully, it can quickly upgrade to upper-grade, then another upgrade to Celestial grade spiritual root; just enough to integrate, allowing my immortal spiritual root to transform."
Mutated Ghost King + Super Immortal Spiritual Root, now that is the perfect foundation.
But once you possess the spiritual root, you have to develop corresponding new Immortal Path Techniques.
Yet another enormous expense.
However, this time, I am on the same starting line as everyone else.
Others are just advancing to immortal spiritual roots, needing to develop Immortal Path Divine Techniques and Cultivation Techniques.
Take Xin Xichen, who has barely appeared in the past hundred years, is most likely developing his own Immortal Path Techniques, Divine Techniques, and moves.
One cultivation technique requires countless people to perfect and develop to form a mature heritage.
Even such top-tier figures like Xin Xichen can’t develop one instantly.
"They now have empty values without techniques, only know basic attacks, akin to me earlier; executing one-tenth of their combat power would be impressive."
Ning Zheng pondered.
These individuals just crossed into the Immortal Sect, discreetly perfecting Immortal Techniques, making these years relatively peaceful.
