I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players

The Sword Fairy thought about it and agreed.

"By the way, how is the Sun Moon Artifact Spirit?" Jiucai Rong asked.

"There has been no news after entering the Imperial Palace."

The Sword Fairy whispered:

"It hasn't come out yet, very mysterious! The Court's Imperial Palace, Between the Scales, I already thought was mysterious before, now it's even more mysterious."

Jiucai Rong paused in silence, wondering what was going on.

"Xinyi Baisan and the others told me not to think too much, all Sun Moon things must go through strict inspection, eliminating all potential hidden hands."

Jiucai Rong sighed inwardly, as expected.

Over there with the Sword Fairy, they are accelerating the research on the Sun Moon shell, quite busy indeed.

"While on your side, you can take it easy for a while. When we have results, which will be soon, there will be nothing for you to do currently."

Sword Fairy: "Regarding the No-Life Sect, I found some materials for you, the rest I can't help with."

She is currently under the spotlight, a celebrity, and cannot secretly connect for them.

Providing some No-Life Sect materials and information is already quite nice.

Even though the information she got might not be considered top secret.

"I'll tell you a little insider info, it's about Between the Scales," the Sword Fairy suddenly said.

"The Saint built his own Imperial Mausoleum, the latest mural in the Chronicles of Time?" Jiucai Rong curiously said, "That shouldn't be surprising, right!"

Even emperors in Earth's history would have a habit of building tombs for themselves while they were alive.

Not to mention this world?

Building a tomb for oneself is a habit among High Tier Cultivators.

Even the common folks in this world often purchase graves in advance.

"You don't understand."

The Sword Fairy, in a secretive manner, lowered her voice: Thɪs chapter is updated by NoveI(F)ire.net

"Between the Scales is different, you know the Earth Vein? Before the previous dynasty, there were no Earth Veins."

Then, the Sword Fairy recounted the origin of Money Child casting Magic Coins.

"Every 150 years, the Red Sun cleanses the world's impurities, this practice has existed in past dynasties."

"In the past, the Red Sun would directly evaporate the Embers, now it uses Earth Veins to absorb the Embers."

"So, since our dynasty was established, where have the Embers absorbed every 150 years gone?"

Jiucai Rong suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

Indeed.

In the past, they were directly evaporated and destroyed.

Now they are absorbed, where have all those Embers gone?

Jiucai Rong immediately guessed a possibility.

The Imperial Mausoleum!

Sent to Between the Scales.

The mausoleum of the current Saint is surely the most luxurious in history!

Inside, there are a large number of Embers from all over, maintaining the entire Nine-State ecology, like another mini Nine-State.

It's like the dark side in the mirror!

"Hiss!~~" Jiucai Rong took a sharp breath, "Terrifying! What a big dungeon, when will the dungeon boss inside go online?"

"Scared now?"

The Sword Fairy spoke about secrets known only to the high-level:

"Therefore, the unprecedented largest Imperial Mausoleum, the unprecedented fiercest existence, those evil cults of Nine-State want to assassinate the Saint, target his eyes."

"Because if he died, no one in the world might be able to control him anymore, all of us could be killed in an instant."

Jiucai Rong listened intently, nodding: "And then?"

This game's background story is quite interesting.

The production team truly deserves its reputation for settings, with plenty of details.

The Sword Fairy said: "I just got an internal message, the Saint is about to die, preparing for it after all the Sun Moon weapons are completed."

"Where did the message come from?" Jiucai Rong felt this message was strange.

"The Saint set his own death date." The Sword Fairy lowered her voice, pausing for a moment.

Hiss!

On hearing this, Jiucai Rong took another sharp breath, feeling the coming storm.

He was extremely sensitive: "Miss, a new expansion pack is coming!"

"Yes, little brother, the new main storyline is about to debut." The Sword Fairy appeared solemn: "The Saint's passing will plunge the world into chaos!"

"Why are you taking advantage of me?"

After gasping, Jiucai Rong quickly changed the topic: "By the way, we need some live Low Tier Demon Beasts, a bit of each type, put them in a Beast Taming Bag."

"What for?" The Sword Fairy was curious, "Are you planning to research legitimate demon beast material weapons?"

Jiucai Rong: "Hehe! The Saint's demise doesn't concern us? We are in Peach Blossom Spring, remaining aloof from worldly affairs. Chaos doesn't involve us, we are trying new things recently, 'Free Race Login', perhaps next time you see us, you'll find us in the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden."

The Sword Fairy: "???"

Jiucai Rong chatted for a while longer before ending the communication.

...

Sword Casting Manor.

Everyone got busy again.

Now, a group gathered to discuss the information received from the Sword Fairy earlier.

"It seems, after the Into the Capital to Meet the Saint event, it's the Saint Has Died event."

"This time, the main storyline is pretty clear."

Perhaps this top-secret news will shock the natives, but it definitely won't surprise those little blacksmiths.

They'd just cleverly gasp, exclaim "brilliant," and then continue working, laying bricks.

Main focus is on being down-to-earth; even the day before the apocalypse, it shouldn't affect our bricklaying.

After all.

Aren't there fewer doomsday plots and hero versus Demon King plots in other games?

As old players, they're accustomed to the game world's frequent doomsday scenarios.

Basic skills, don't worry!

Instead of studying those things, it's better to think about something practical, like what to eat at tonight's campfire party.

Even the second before the apocalypse, they look at the sky and laugh, then gleefully shout out:

"Whoa, the server's about to shut down."

"Hahaha, our manor is about to disappear."

"I wonder where we'll log in next time, it's so fun."

"You don't understand, once we log in next time, it'll be the beginning of chaos, pitch-black, and we three thousand gods and demons will rebuild Sword Casting Manor in the primordial void, forge innate divine artifacts, and recreate heaven and earth."

"Awesome, planners, quickly copy this."

Words like that.

At this moment.

They're researching how to use the manor master's embers to attack those ten bosses.

Because they've attacked a certain city guard's tomb before, they have experience, so it shouldn't be difficult.

But!

The old steward told them that this time, they would be responsible for controlling the manor master's embers.

This is also a benefit given to them by Ning Zheng.

Let them practice with some Three Elements Realm boss tombs.

And.

Ning Zheng himself personally intervened, but may not be as good as the blacksmiths, because his archery level isn't high.

He heard that a recent batch of blacksmiths included an archery streamer, who used chopsticks, toothpicks, and cards as hidden weapons, hitting the targets with incredible accuracy.

He kept saying jokes, that in future, cards must be regulated as weapons in streamers' hands.

As soon as Ning Zheng heard this, he knew this person's archery skills surpassed his own.

Ning Zheng knew his own level.

He's only trained for a month or two, and hasn't even added "Qi Fortune" to learn archery; he's a blank sheet and can't compare.

Furthermore.

Not only archery experts, but many combat experts have also arrived.

Previously, Su Yuniang's women's self-defense techniques were already out of date; they simply can't be the standout fighters among the blacksmiths.

With the influx of batch after batch of blacksmiths, the so-called "combat stream players" appeared, and Ning Zheng feels the manor is becoming more and more talented.

At the very least.

In the future, some low-level embers battles can be handed over to them.

For example, if someone invades the manor, the blacksmiths can automatically cut out massive embers, let someone skilled in archery control the giant Guardian God, and protect the manor.

Ning Zheng doesn't even need to manage the manor's defensive work.

"I can't handle the Saint's matters; when the sky falls, the tall guy can hold it up."

Ning Zheng is very self-aware, similar to the blacksmiths' mentality, "I'll still attack some tomb boss and develop the manor."

"Before the chaotic times come, it's always good to train the soldiers a bit."

Quickly.

Ning Zheng contacted the Shi Family.

Despite being busy recently, he hasn't neglected the painting card business.

Zhang Huaping and Shi Youxing regularly come to purchase batches of painting cards.

The Shi Family has been very pleased lately, opening trade routes everywhere, selling painting cards in various townships, and it seems they've become enamored with being legitimate merchants.

Ning Zheng thinks this is good.

The Shi Family's network was already strong; the main focus of tomb raiding is being well-informed.

Now that the information is even more well-informed, it's promising; when the chaotic times come, the first area to become troubled will definitely be Ning Zheng's local township, with rampant bands of soldiers and bandits; the Shi Family is a good ally for him.

Shi Youxing over there was stunned:

"I thought you'd forgotten; now you're seriously going to attack those tomb owners? This really feels like a thankless task; you might not even get the spirit plants in their tombs."

"No worries, we'll just give it a try." Ning Zheng isn't hot-eyed for those resources; the main purpose is to train combat skills.

Now Ning Zheng is also a Great Cultivator in the Three Elements Realm.

Shi Youxing, who is in the Four Viscera Realm of Great Perfection, is still a bit behind him.

Ning Zheng is now full of confidence.

Next, let her set up a temporary teleportation array at the tomb and then leave.

Swoosh!~~

Ning Zheng traverses through the teleportation array.

He personally explored the outer terrain of the opposite tomb, confirmed there was no problem, then used Qi Fortune for further exploration before retreating.

"You can go now."

Ning Zheng communicated as he said.

"Alright." Jiucai Rong communicated to the prison below, "Start hacking, form the manor master's embers, and initiate the dungeon!"

"That one over there, [Yan Shuangying], get ready; you'll be controlling it as the main DPS."

Jiucai Rong excitedly rubbed his hands together.

Yan Shuangying is a tall, skinny human youth, with fierce flames in his eyes, "Leave it to me, I'll handle shooting the boss."
