I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players

Cloud Wax Little World.

Jiu Shui sat quietly on the deck chair, fiddling constantly with a flower pot in his hands, slightly frowning: "The evolution cultivation of this flower has hit a bottleneck."

The Holy War of All Realms is both an opportunity and a great calamity.

Many family cultivators went to battle, earning merits, while they would beforehand take their family’s old and weak women and children to retreat to their hometown’s small world.

This old and weak woman, Jiu Shui, retreated with the family over a month ago.

This wave of retreat hasn’t been long.

Four big bombs exploded soon after, making this family, which took him in as a son-in-law, feel incredibly fortunate.

Almost got exterminated!

This war, being involved in it, unknown how many civilizations were wiped out.

Of course, there is destruction and there is life.

The emptied world, inside it, the Xian, will still cycle through era cycles—the Sacrificial Era, evolving a new civilization...

"Thankfully, thankfully indeed."

Beside him, his wife was talking:

"We retreated early, I just received news that our neighboring ally, the White Feather Civilization, did not withdraw in time and their home base was directly destroyed."

"Now a month later, we got their message, alas, too tragic."

This wife of Jiu Shui did not have any cultivation aptitude, just a Human Immortal Great Perfection.

And Jiu Shui, however, was sitting on the rocking chair enjoying the breeze, smiling and saying: "Indeed, being alive is having hope to get stronger; it is normal for us to retreat."

Leaving the Immortal Realm, he was quite content.

After all, during the previous riot day, he also followed the attack on several marketplaces, reaping enough resources for cultivation for a while.

And.

Now he has a better business.

In Immortal Realm, he was not only a painter as a side business but also a Spirit Farmer as a side business.

As the strongest Spirit Farmer in Nine-State, he also cultivated many powerful and special Spirit Plants, Spirit Fruits for the family to sell.

In front of him, the scarcity of resources due to war, Holy War of All Realms, these Spirit Fruits are selling extremely well!

He even combined alchemy... and developed Pill Fruits that do not require refining and are quite efficient in energy absorption.

Fight and kill?

What money is there to earn?

Combat cultivators are the unprofitable bottom tier laborers, the ones who die the fastest!

Jiu Shui knew this early on, it’s the secondary profession that earns the most resources.

Just that their family previously couldn’t safeguard the Spiritual Objects Jiu Shui cultivated, almost getting caught several times while selling at the black market.

Fortunate that the heavens never seal off all roads.

They discovered the recent booming Xirong black market, which could help them keep their identity secret!

Xirong, came like timely rain!

This made Jiu Shui sigh that this force is truly his lucky star.

Back then, he faked his death and entered the tomb preparing his "affairs", Xirong was like timely rain, coming to Beijing to create Sun and Moon for him.

Xirong, good people!

Lately, the disciples responsible for their family’s sales channel landed several Heaven’s Chosen to set up stalls. The profits were good, though the commission was a bit high, and each space mail’s fee was rather exploitative.

But safe above all.

This new type of black market developed by Xirong drastically reduced the possibilities of murder and robbery.

Thus, Jiu Shui could almost assert.

The potential for this black market’s development is quite terrifying, indeed having the potential to be the first platform of the Immortal Realm.

Unify the entire black market’s market, becoming the industry’s number one.

After all, the black market’s core is nothing but one.

Dark enough.

This darkness refers to the Three Dark Laws concluded by successive black markets:

Perfect transaction of unknown-origin black goods.

Perfect undertaking of identity-unknown black work.

Guarantee not to be eaten by other Tribulation Cultivators.

"But the premise is, their platform cannot be replicated." As an Immortal, Jiu Shui has seen countless historical cycles over fifteen million years.

He has seen too many patent replication cases.

The world’s cultivators are one big copy.

This is Jiu Shui’s insight, and he can almost be sure, with the power of the Immortal Venerate, it is almost certain to be copied!

Never underestimate the Divine Craftsman at the Immortal Venerate level.

In Jiu Shui’s view, it’s likely soon enough there will be various "Xirong" platforms appearing.

"Then, how will Xirong respond?"

Jiu Shui’s expression was peculiar, having caused such a scene by killing an Immortal Venerate, he had already proven his theory: Xirong, not just an ordinary iron head.

When copied, the head will surely be even harder.

This time which one will be dancing?

Jiu Shui was quite looking forward to it, sitting on the chair enjoying the cool:

"But despite the fuss, with such a black market opened by them, I can sell even higher value Spiritual Objects."

His Jiu Shui Spiritual Root, used as a flower pot, is specialized in cultivating nine random Spiritual Roots.

He has quietly cultivated stronger Spiritual Objects, but just because his in-law’s family couldn’t keep it safe, so it was not taken out.

"Someday I can personally log in to check it out, along with regularly buying something."

Jiu Shui stretched lazily, quite satisfied with such a hidden life.

The key is to escape the painter’s pursuit.

Once exposed, if discovered by the painter, there would surely be no good things coming.

The painter surely has various ways to involve him in the stage of painting, making him a saint hero of history, becoming a painting model.

And.

Not just the painter looking for him, he suspects that if discovered by Xirong, they would also try to lure him out... he wouldn’t have a peaceful life.

Therefore, he is hiding.

His wisdom is profoundly deep, having planned step by step future after ascending to the Immortal Realm, seeking out this optimal solution.

Now, just selling things can earn resources, without pressure, living at ease, away from disputes, and the cultivation speed isn’t slow.

After all.

The laws of his Celestial Immortal Enlightenment accumulation far surpass ordinary people.

Going into closed-door cultivation at Stream Speed Cave Mansion, a realm in four thousand years, he has been in closed-door cultivation for over fifty thousand years, already reaching Celestial Immortal Great Perfection, about to break into True Immortal.

It’s just so swift.

Fifty thousand years, traversing all the realms of Celestial Immortal.

As a mortal trapped in the Nine-State cage, having lived for over fifteen million years, ascending to the Immortal Realm is just that absurd.

At this moment.

A sound came from outside the door.

It’s Jiu Shui’s sister-in-law, a cultivator of the first level of Celestial Immortal, "Brother-in-law, I’m coming in."

Before even stepping through the door, she announced loudly, "Brother-in-law, I’ve already set up a stall in Xi Rong’s Black Market, and sold everything!"

"You wouldn’t believe it, this morning, Xi Rong’s platform had a major update, everyone went wild, absolutely mad!"

"The brand new mechanism caught all the Heaven’s Chosen by surprise! Especially that login screen, it’s so terrifying."

The sister-in-law chattered incessantly, full of life:

"You don’t know, the previous Yin Yang Creation Furnace was monopolized by those powerhouses, not letting us weaker folks use it, and now, hehe..."

She kept explaining the day’s events, extremely joyful.

Jiu Shui and his wife kept listening.

This sister-in-law has contributed a lot to the family, primarily responsible for selling goods.

There were a few times she nearly got intercepted and killed, fortunately, Jiu Shui secretly prepared measures, averting calamity.

After Xi Rong’s platform opened, the sister-in-law became a Heaven’s Chosen, making the buying and selling of Spirit Fruits safer.

"Meanwhile, they’ve released numerous daily missions, just about every Heaven’s Chosen received a ’Welcome Task’."

"Isn’t this a welcome? So I came back! When looking for newcomers, definitely hometown folks are more, calling friends to become Heaven’s Chosen together."

Saying this, she took out a Storage Bag and poured out several Golden Cores.

Jiu Shui was somewhat silent.

The sister-in-law continued:

"This is called Net Swimming Pill, a low-cost version of the Online Game Pill, selling for only 10 Upper Grade Immortal Stones."

"And if someone takes a ’Welcome Task’, they can purchase it at half-price, with the promotional discount, only 5 Upper Grade Immortal Stones!"

As she finished speaking, before Jiu Shui could respond, his wife couldn’t help but get excited.

One Online Game Pill a day consumes 100 Upper Grade Immortal Stones per day.

The entrance fee is too expensive!

Even Celestial Immortals find it difficult to afford.

So, this Celestial Immortal family had only their sister-in-law responsible for entering the Illusion Realm, logging in as Heaven’s Chosen, and performing tasks.

But now?

With just 5 Upper Grade Immortal Stones, one can enter.

"Is there a price to pay?" Jiu Shui asked, knowing Xi Rong’s nature.

The sister-in-law replied: "Well, with the Online Game Pill, Heaven’s Chosen is free to go in, basically able to do whatever one desires."

"But this Net Swimming Pill is the low-cost version, requires accepting tasks, becoming Xi Rong’s mercenary."

"All time spent on the platform will be occupied, assigned fixed mandatory work, but they will also be paid a salary."

"However, this is also welfare; by slowly working on the platform earning money, there’s still a chance to obtain the upgraded version of the Online Game Pill, then self-sustain inside."

The sister-in-law’s eyes were filled with excitement.

In reality, Xi Rong’s platform had already been explored by others.

Once skilled at "bricklaying", the daily hundred Upper Grade Immortal Stones for the Online Game Pill can be earned back through various means and even profit!

The biggest hurdle is actually not having the 100 Upper Grade Immortal Stones as start-up capital.

And whether you have sufficient savings to become proficient at "bricklaying" inside, slowly turning losses into profits, starting to earn money.

This resolves the immediate crisis!

The Net Swimming Pill allows countless people to practice the "bricklaying" task in Xi Rong at a low cost.

After all, with the new Life Treasure, Ning Zheng’s server capacity increased to one million, allowing continued recruitment!

Thus, expansion is imperative.

According to Jiucai Rong’s description, an online game without a million players is considered trash gaming.

"I see."

Jiu Shui continued listening, sighed in his heart, took the Net-Swimming Golden Core, which gleamed golden in his eyes and felt cold and metallic in his hand:

"Alright, let’s go in and see what they’ve been up to."

He swallowed the pill and signed the Spiritual Restriction Contract, entering the login interface.

Thus, the last native to ascend from the Nine-State succeeded in being captured by Xi Rong, becoming an honorary external blacksmith.

About the painter?

His methods were secretive, omnipresent, having already infiltrated Xi Rong earlier.

Since they could send people to the mines to bricklay, wanting to fleece Immortal Venerates for not being able to afford spaceships, wouldn’t they also send people into Xi Rong as Heaven’s Chosen to fleece Ning Zheng, making it unaffordable for her Dharma Aspect?

According to the blacksmiths’ guesses.

It’s unknown how many genuine or fake True Immortals this painter fellow disguised as Heaven’s Chosen came into bricklay here.

Whoa!

A colorful and exciting cinematic appeared before his eyes.

The Immortal Realm war, Immortal Venerates making their moves.

Then the scene shifted, showing the customs, landscapes, and beautifully scenic vistas of the various realms.

After the login screen, it was the face-molding screen.

Jiu Shui input the so-called Heaven’s Chosen name, clicked on the Yin Yang Forging Furnace icon, "Create Character," then began attempting to mold the character.

The more he tried, the more shocked he became.

He had heard of the former Yin Yang Creation Furnace.

The synthesized creations were all aberrant shapes, quickly dying, requiring Resurrection from Embers to live a second life to complete the foundations.

But here, inside the Yin Yang Creation Furnace, there were some evolved entities aiding in fine-tuning the entire structure.

No need for Resurrection from Embers, it could synthesize new races directly.

What shocked him most was:

The group of evolved entities inside, during the evolution process, followed the directions of a special figure.

Moreover, those people faintly shouted "Respect Life Country Immortal Venerate reincarnation’s command!" "As commanded, shall complete Life Country task!"

Jiu Shui was completely stunned!

The internal aura of this Yin Yang Creation Furnace faintly bore a trace of ancient Life Laws.

He watched the login screen—an imposing and majestic Life Country Immortal Venerate—logging in for people, molding roles, and creating life.

An extraordinary thought popped up:

Could it be that the ancient Great Venerate of Heaven and Earth reincarnated in Xirong Manor, holding authority over life’s creation, assisting everyone in molding Heaven’s Chosen?
