I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players

Ning Zheng didn't go down into the tomb because he has been very busy lately and has a scene to catch up on later.

He finally understood how exhausting it is to be responsible for a faction, constantly meeting people everywhere.

Currently, the manor has two main projects.

1. Researching Golden Mud and the Yin Yang Creation Furnace is frantically synthesizing and improving.

The resources spent on improving the Golden Mud version are enormous, but fortunately, with the wave of tombs from the Longevity Imperial Mausoleum, resources have been acquired in abundance.

2. Researching auxiliary cultivation immortal artifacts.

This is a keystone immortal artifact. If successful, it could assist lower-level cultivators in their cultivation, marking another prestigious moment for Xi Rong and coinciding with a high peak in absorbing Qi Fortune Value through a forging event.

There was a loud splash.

Ning Zheng arrived at the Ximen City.

Doukou Hong and Xinyi Baisan greeted him, "Long time no see. After a century, we are finally collaborating again."

"I'm sorry."

Ning Zheng apologized, "When I emerged after a hundred years, I immediately wanted to collaborate with you, but as you know, I've been extremely busy and only just found some spare time now."

"Of course, we understand." Doukou Hong replied somewhat resentfully, "Not to mention, just this major project of the New Magic Coins will take a long time."

Ning Zheng smiled awkwardly and invited them to take a seat.

Soon, Ning Zheng, Doukou Hong, Xinyi Baisan, and others discussed a collaboration on new weapons.

During the past hundred years, Doukou Hong and Xinyi Baisan have not been idle. They have been calculating and researching various spiritual roots, preparing to create similar cultivation immortal artifacts.

After all, cultivation is essential for cultivators.

Ning Zheng discussed with them throughout the afternoon, and finally settled on a plan.

It is expected to be a Yin Yang Spirit Root's [Blood Tempering Immortal Robe] that, when worn, can accelerate the Ninth Realm of the Body's refining of the Five Elements and Four Viscera and assist in the guidance of Spiritual Qi!

The second cultivation immortal artifact is a golden Tightening Ring called [Three Flowers and Three Openings Facing Me Ring], worn on the head, which accelerates the Three Flowers on the Top of the Three Elements Realm, gathering and absorbing the Essence, Qi, and Spirit's Three Flowers.

The third cultivation immortal artifact, made of spiritual wood, is the [No-Self Doll], into which the Dharma Aspect can enter, assisting in the refining and condensation of the Dharma Aspect at the Two-Phase Realm level!

For the One Heart Realm, there's currently no clear trick.

The talks that day were highly enjoyable, and Ning Zheng could finally rest.

...

...

Three days later, at Sword Casting Manor.

Under the swift actions of Doukou Hong and others, using the manor's Yin Yang Creation Furnace and players' unique Artifact Spirit Embryos, the first batch of prototype immortal artifacts was obtained.

At the Divine Statue Reincarnation Square, blacksmiths are arduously cultivating, duplicating cultivators.

After signing the latest Cultivator Loan, a massive amount of resources have been consumed and absorbed, and most have already reached the Four Viscera Realm Great Perfection, with some even attaining the Three Elements Realm standard.

"Three Flowers on the Top, open!"

Shao Chaikun shouted, and the Three Flowers on his head unraveled layer by layer, blossoming grandly.

He was immediately overjoyed: "Hahaha! I made it, I've succeeded!"

Next, they will be able to enter the renowned Nursery map, cross the Three Flowers, and enter the Capital City.

Transform into a beautiful flower, blooming in the Capital City, or even in random locations, and absorb the unique Spiritual Qi of the nursery.

Jiucai Rong watched this scene, very pleased: "Previously, our most diligent ones could only reach the Four Viscera Realm, and now the Three Elements Realm has become ordinary."

Daojiu shook his head, "Don't be so optimistic. After the Three Elements Realm, it begins to slow down rapidly. This cultivation speed is estimated to be like traditional online game leveling speed; only a few top cultivators can break through to the Two-Phase Realm and differentiate the Dharma Aspect."

In response, Jiucai Rong did not refute.

Because that's the truth, it's not that they are slow to duplicate; they're lacking resources!

Why was there continuous war during the Divine Statue Era?

It's not just about fairness, but because the cultivation resources required for a High Tier cultivator are way too much.

And what about these blacksmiths?

Even more!

Because on average, they are overly ambitious, aiming to craft a full-potential character.

Celestial Spirit Roots costing tens of millions of Magic Coins are beyond their reach. They are frantically taking loans, mostly using Upper Grade Spirit Roots, and favoring the Yin Yang Cycle Immortal Spirit Roots.

The cultivation resources for dual spirit roots are twice as much as for single spirit roots!

As you can imagine, they are severely financially strained, and once the cultivation upgrade system is opened, it becomes a bottomless pit, exponentially growing.

"Is the Golden Mud ready?" Jiucai Rong suddenly asked.

Night Mad Cultivator approached and said, "Much faster than expected, the 'Nine Chapters' on a blank sheet of paper has gained experience through our continuous training and numerous experiments, and the first version of Golden Mud is complete."

"But there's still time, and we are thinking about pushing ahead to directly create a second version of Golden Mud."

"That works." Jiucai Rong nodded, "The growth speed of Nine Chapters is getting faster, but it's not enough. After we complete the Golden Mud project, we'll initiate an Immortal Artifact project on 'Data Duplication.'"

Night Mad Cultivator raised an eyebrow, "You want to steal the 'Hongmeng' database to nourish our 'Nine Chapters'?"

"Isn't that the best way?" Jiucai Rong said.

A single manor is too small, and the speed of training Nine Chapters is sure to be extremely slow.

Next door, 'Hongmeng' is being trained by the entire Sea Race, with various professions, automated factories, and even interfacing with the Eye of Identification, all for training 'Hongmeng,' isn't it?

Nowadays, the Hongmeng Immortal Artifact's artifact spirit is preparing for awakening.

Once the artifact spirit awakens as the Ghost King, its potential is limitless and strategically, it's no weaker than that round of Sun Moon Divine Artifacts.

If they want to catch up with the other side, there's only one way, periodically stealing the opponent's large database and then using it to nourish their Nine Chapters.

While Ning Zheng was still maintaining his basic foundation, one hundred and forty years had passed next door.

In these hundred plus years, the Night Emperor began his actions.

He excavated an entire area of metal ancestral tombs, flattened the Forbidden Demon Area, and then threw in a batch of Nine-State natives infected by the Embers and Pseudo-human Calamity to multiply and thrive here.

The leader of these Nine-State natives was a replication of an ancient Ember with the same obsession.

This person became a formidable opponent that he discovered over years of consuming Embers, a One Heart Realm King Changjin.

This person's talent and capability were no less than that of the Gale Emperor of the Self-Transformation Realm, but due to untimely circumstances, he was suppressed and assassinated, eventually buried with the dead in a tomb.

Recognizing the potential in this person, the Night Emperor allowed him to absorb a plethora of obsessions to awaken, making him an awakened Ghost King of the One Heart Realm and leaving him outside to develop his strength, testing the era.

"His talent dazzles even us, and I have provided him with future Dharma Methods..."

"He is now a Human God Flower, with replicated spiritual roots, theoretically the strongest like us... and also added parts of Metal Giant Shrimp's blood and flesh to complete his genes."

"His mind not only possesses a Divine Power Flower but also a Divine Power Stone in his stomach... two systems merged, just like us."

The Night Emperor said coldly, "I hope you can blaze a path for us to reference."

Then he quietly left.

In the shadows, Jiucai Rong witnessed this scene, a bit uneasy in his heart: "He's too bold, openly releasing someone identical to us... testing the world."

Another hundred plus years passed, King Changjin certainly lived up to being one of the historically most astonishing powerhouses; upon living a second life, he quickly reinforced his foundation.

Moreover, he successfully broke through One Heart Realm, reaching the Self-Transformation Realm.

"Where am I in this era? What kind of world is this? A wasteland?"

King Changjin didn't understand but continued to grow silently.

"No matter, I will become the master of this world!" He led a group of Nine-State natives to develop; with a mature system, development was not slow; the younger generation already had Three Elements Realm cultivators, and they became a coastal nation.

And.

They also discovered the suppression effect of ubiquitous metal stones and continuously cleared stones, expanded their population to several billion people.

At this time, a city in a subterranean shelter officially emerged into the world after an initial biological explosion.

"Finally survived, in a new big explosion era, some astonishing individuals can seize the opportunity to complete their racial foundation, transforming into Immortal Foundations, soon breaking through to legendary Immortals."

"Hm, it's always like this, a great apocalypse is followed by a great reboot, all beings undergo transformations, races regroup, and Immortals will also emerge in this era, then guide the new ancestral race, create all things, open heaven and earth, sit and preach, accepting a batch of innate disciples at the dawn of a new era, leaving some inheritances for the world, then departing from the world."

"The winning king before them should be like this, too."

"Wait, what's that over there?"

"Not clear."

...

They just happened to awaken near this mysterious city, feeling increasingly terrified the more they looked.

What kind of terrifying, sinister Evil God civilization is this?

In their view, it was truly spine-chilling.

They had never seen such a terrifying thing as ghosts.

And also.

The Embers Disaster showing no respect for the old, a patricide disaster.

The Pseudo-human Calamity showing no love for young, a filicide disaster.

Clearly, this civilization has a severe problem with respecting the old and loving the young.

As they discussed in terror, the Emperor Changjin appeared before them, revealing a hint of disdain: "Are you the natives of this world? Truly... weak to the point of being outrageous!"
