Chapter 802 - 282: Competition Between Both Sides
From the result perspective.
The intentions on their side are good.
To make you despair, become self-reliant, to hone you, change you into a strong mindset...
If it weren't for cutting off the contact between both sides, they wouldn't have gone all out, crazily grinding and leveling up for five hundred years.
But for normal people, suddenly being schemed against and thrown into hell for honing, who wouldn't have grievances?
At this moment, they certainly have thoughts, but just keep them in their hearts.
"Those guys are really arrogant."
Night Emperor crumpled the letter into a ball:
"But we still need to continue trading, even though it's five hundred years late... This new type of giant shrimp can update five of our civilization labs! Enhance our accumulated foundation."
"Medical Fairy, take this and study the results they sent over."
"No problem." The Medical Fairy walked over with a face full of joy.
This thing at a glance is known to be produced by the Yin Yang Creation Furnace.
Seeing this product again after more than a thousand years gave her a sense of nostalgia.
Now both she and the Immortal Aunt are true Divine Doctors, with completely different vision and standards. Looking at the composite shrimp results, she couldn't help but feel eager to try.
This is something no true Divine Doctor can resist.
The folks from Sword Casting Manor, their mindset has become restless!
Without settling down, they don't even know they're holding a priceless treasure for physicians.
Having a mountain of treasures but unable to use even a little.
"I'll research the results immediately, don't worry!"
The Medical Fairy joyfully took it away.
"Wait." Night Emperor suddenly picked up the hundred pieces of Golden Mud, saying: "Medical Fairy, take it over to Ancient Bronze Emperor for charging, absorb full Qi Fortune... that's the trade condition."
"Alright."
The Medical Fairy carried the hundred pieces of Golden Mud, not minding the dissatisfaction from Night Emperor.
As for those folks over there... deep inside, even wanting to shout 666.
After all, over these hundreds of years... it's these two leaders who suffered.
Me, a non-combat stream cultivator, what suffering do I face?
I'm not in a hurry to advance in realms, nor do I have a way to advance.
The entire burial grounds of the statue, waves of Embers resurrected over the centuries, are all stacked to be consumed by these two Ember leaders, leveling up.
There aren't any more Embers left for others to cultivate.
Besides, I don't cultivate combat streams, no urgency in elevating realms, enjoying studying what she loves these years, eating and drinking with the Immortal Aunt, happily researching, going to the giant shrimp civilization to show off...
These years have been truly delightful!
It's those two combat stream cultivators who suffer, what does it have to do with us?
The Medical Fairy thought to herself: "Someone indeed needs to carry the burden forward, tricking them into frenzied internal competition, leveling up... if these combat stream cultivators suffer a bit, they can protect us."
"They did quite well, and also attracted resentment..."
At this moment, she finally understood why so many people prefer the non-combat professions.
Because it's genuinely relaxing, easy, and pleasant.
The combat cultivators crazily compete, fight life and death, collect resources everywhere, and also take care of protecting them...
And what about them?
They are responsible for research, being protected.
Of course, only combat stream cultivators are the overlords of times, but for the Medical Fairy, whoever wants to be Emperor, can go ahead.
She joyfully ran to the Ancient Bronze Emperor, slapped on the Golden Mud to absorb the full Qi Fortune, then returned it to its original place, carrying the shrimp's Embers back to the medical pavilion.
Night Emperor wasn't in a hurry to send the prepared items back but pondered:
"The next transaction, who knows how many hundreds of years it will take... to them it's fleeting, but to me, it's a long journey."
"I've reached the Self-Transformation Realm, but Self-Transformation... is just the beginning attempt to interfere with this world, trying to provide some information over, let them produce more results."
"After all, when I talked about revenge, to truly return alive, reaching the peak, surely I must trample the dignitaries of this world, the historical black hands, and the powerhouses hidden here... it's estimated to be one in ten thousand survive."
He's neither arrogant nor restless, very self-aware.
This world is probably deep in waters.
"But, the immortals here, I guess they've all gone beyond this domain... those left behind might just be at the Self-Transformation level, maybe there's a chance."
"But that chance should be left for the native cultivators, their later generations... doesn't matter if they infight in their world, but discovering I'm an outsider aiming to dominate the era, they'll surely intervene."
"So, integrating into the system of this world is really important, hoping copying Spiritual Roots, can reproduce the system of this world."
Thinking of this, he picked up pen and paper, writing down some information about this world, speculations, various data.
Then he threw the letter into the treasure box, with a hundred pieces of Golden Mud, and sent it back.
With a whooshing sound.
Space surged, seemingly with a blurry yet majestic figure gazing at him, the entire treasure box vanished.
"Cross-dimensional space."
Night Emperor cast a deep glance, "Such cultivation, our Sword Casting Manor's Manor Master, unfathomable, crossing realms he might also be an immortal."
...
Sword Casting Manor.
A treasure box landed.
Jiucai Rong stepped forward, opened the box, inside was a letter and a hundred pieces of Golden Mud.
Ning Zheng didn't bother with the letter, absorbed the Qi Fortune Value from the hundred pieces of Golden Mud, leaving 1% for the blacksmiths, then turned to leave.
Before leaving, Ning Zheng instructed: "The giant shrimp project is completed, next up is updating the Golden Mud, we absolutely cannot let the Yin Yang Creation Furnace remain idle!"
Jiucai Rong nodded, indicating this matter could commence today.
Indeed, Golden Mud needs urgent updating.
Yin Yang Creation Furnace Artifact Spirit Night Mad Cultivator: Ah ah ah, no no! I haven't rested for over half a month, the furnace keeps running.
Nine Chapters Artifact Spirit Jiucai Rong: I'm suffering too, you get to rest occasionally, I probably can't stop.
Ning Zheng ignored them, turning to leave.
He returned to the manor, glanced at a string of numbers.
[Current Qi Fortune Value: 25.31 million.]
These few days of frantic recovery finally replenished some.
If it weren't for the giant shrimp project being so urgent, concerning life and death on the other side... he would've preferred to research Golden Mud first.
However.
Now it's estimated that in a few days the Golden Mud will also succeed.
Post-revision, efficiency should greatly improve, and then we can officially begin operations, as a freight team.
Ning Zheng doesn't wish for thin profits and quick sales, frantically transporting Golden Mud back and forth, because Ning Zheng discovered there's a cyclical space turbulence node.
Just like the periapsis and apoapsis between two planets, specific times conveniently bring about space turbulence, otherwise, the cost is greater.
But it's still frequent, roughly a cycle a day, a space weak spot.
Of course, converted to their world's timescale, it's a hundred-year space weak breeze.
"Previously, each piece of Golden Mud earned 30k, now after optimization each needs just to earn 100k, I can mass produce."
"Produce 500 pieces of Golden Mud in one go, a single round trip would earn 50 million, just enough to empty that Plague God Emperor's 50 million vault each time."
Ning Zheng's heart suddenly burned with excitement.
What's the concept of 50 million in one day?
Immediate takeoff.
A mere Nine-State, Four Seas, only netting over two hundred thousand daily...
Cough, cough, cough.
But that's not low, it's 50 million every hundred years there, different flow rate just makes Qi Fortune value accumulation appear more.
The only pity is, those blacksmiths got wild, provoking the other side.
But Ning Zheng didn't care.
He even felt, oppressing those Night Mad Cultivators, Jiucai Rong was quite good!
Indeed they needed some honing.
How dangerous is that Otherworld? If I told them the truth, and we needed 500 years to yield results, they might truly just wait it out!
Those perfectionists, awaiting the foundation completion before officially cultivating.
Yet over five hundred years, things might happen to them.
Not oppressing them to grow rapidly, what's the use in mending their foundation there?
Ning Zheng could not tolerate an incident at the neighboring courier station, so oppressing just went ahead.
Another reason is.
For a powerhouse, motivation is necessary to become stronger quickly.
The opponents currently seem quite motivated, but that side's rise likely involves nine lives lost per one survived, various hardships, still needing repeated assistance from this side.
Once collaboration unfolds, earning 50 million Qi Fortune daily, I'll have sufficient capital to deal with the Five Elements Spiritual Root transformation, becoming the strongest seven-color foundation.
Same realm, would he fear those dual spirit root advanced Self-Transformation Realm individuals?
Their cultivation speed is fast, but it doesn't mean Ning Zheng's is slow.
If he wasn't holding onto the Spiritual Root foundation, waiting for a wave, within this half month he'd elevate another realm, directly entering Self-Transformation Realm.
In fact, Ning Zheng doesn't even need to act himself.
Once wealth is secured, crafting a 3 billion advancement to the Mask [All Saints Form], even the blacksmiths of Sword Casting Manor can soar.
Ning Zheng's gaze was icy: "Even the blacksmiths here fear being attacked by the other side, their being hit is a slap to the face, so they also have to compete... the blacksmiths on the other side must compete, remember this grudge."
"Competition, warfare between the two sides, instead benefits my current state."
