I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players

On the other side.

Sword Casting Manor.

Through the observer perspective of the painter Jiucai Rong, the blacksmith watched as thousands of people sat in the square and finished watching the usual opening ceremony—cutscene CG, feeling quite shocked.

[Whoa, they built the shop within a day and started business. A true Earth and Wood Holy Body!]

[It’s you, Earth and Wood Immortal.]

[The Immortal Realm is too competitive. They even have specific secondary professions for this kind of work.]

[The Immortal Realm is full of smart people. What profitable business hasn’t been discovered by now?]

[Stop arguing, even the upright sect masters are secretly painting the Little Imperial Uncle, showing that for a few taels of broken silver, people have lost their principles.]

[Hahaha, that sect master suffered social death, nailed to the pillar of shame in the history of the Immortal Realm, discussed by everyone daily.]

[Why don’t we trick the painter into painting the Little Imperial Uncle and then expose him, letting him suffer the same social death in the history of the Immortal Realm?]

[Hahaha, previously you urinated on someone’s painting and got sent to the Otherworld, and still haven’t learned your lesson? Do you have a death wish?]

[You don’t get it, dying is one thing, living is another.]

...

...

Of course, they also think the painter is really reliable.

He’s very meticulous in his work.

Sending Wan Luanfeng under this identity was a decision made after considering many factors.

Because with the identity of Saint Child for the trial, other forces won’t act rashly and may even want to befriend.

In the management room.

Jiucai Rong saw, through the observer perspective, another self hosting the opening ceremony and felt a bit speechless:

"I don’t know why, watching Jiucai Rong host a press conference... I’ve kind of gotten used to it."

"This game has such a quirky nature!" Shao Chaikun complained, "Just treat it as an AI NPC copying us."

The Food God also complained, "How do you know we’re not the ember shells left on Earth after their transmigration, already dead?"

Jiucai Rong rolled his eyes: "Not auspicious, you’re the one who’s dead."

"See, as an ember, you wouldn’t say you’re dead, that’s the solid proof."

The Food God retorted: "This game is seriously messed up! In it, it’s full of: ’how do you know this is the real me at this moment?’ and outside the game, it makes us question every time we log off: ’how do you know this is the real me at this moment?’"

"Getting addicted to it." Su Yuniang nodded heavily, "This Sword Casting Manor is played too trickily, real and fake, indistinguishable."

Medical Fairy: "Alright, we’re here for a meeting, don’t ramble about useless stuff. Haven’t you noticed? Attacking a Saint Child of an Immortal Venerate sect, the painter’s boldness is really remarkable."

"Sneak attacking, cloning a Self-Transformation Realm mortal is simple and easy."

"But the painter must have dealt with the true immortal guardian behind him, even if it’s the weakest type, the painter is fierce, able to fight a true immortal!"

Immortal Aunt nodded emphatically, "This person has a lot of cards up his sleeve, and as the mastermind behind the pseudo-human calamity, he surely is more skilled than human gods, knowing how to replace the opponent’s middle and upper echelons, finding their weak points."

Not to mention he’s a first-time kill.

Immortal Realm has no pseudo-humans, painters, these terrifying sticky undying demons that replace identities.

You have to know, the painter is the father of Embers.

The first pseudo-human in the Nine-State world was a painting by the painter.

Night Mad Cultivator analyzed:

"I estimate the painter himself has already broken through to Celestial Immortal, perhaps reaching the third or fourth layer of Immortal Level, which allows him to cross a great realm and launch a sneak attack to encircle and kill the opponent."

Everyone nodded.

This is the most likely scenario.

A monster cultivating to perfection with the Three Calamities and Seven Tribulations is inherently exaggerated in combat power, and those from Nine-State can perform attribute cycling, making them even stronger.

A Celestial Immortal can fight a weaker True Immortal, it sounds unlikely, but it’s actually possible.

Strangely enough.

Before becoming an Immortal, crossing a great realm to kill an enemy is extremely difficult and rare.

But after becoming an Immortal, crossing realms to kill an enemy becomes normal.

Thinking about it carefully.

Conversely, the more realms, the easier it is to fight across levels.

Each realm widens the gap slightly, when you add seven or eight realms together... the gap becomes very exaggerated.

Su Yuniang also added quickly: "He probably also painted Jiu Shui to help him surround and sneak attack this true immortal."

"Makes sense." A group of people chattered about the painter.

They discussed in detail the specific matters of the Golden Core alliance and, based on the information from today’s live broadcast, made some detailed adjustments to their plan.

Then they began to research their next Golden Core extension project.

"Have we gathered the group of people we summoned?"

"They’ve already been notified, but currently, only the painters from within the Zhongluan Domain are being notified, as other people wouldn’t care about our Golden Core Business Alliance."

"Makes sense, having franchisees within the Zhongluan Domain means they will help us."

"Then let’s start commissioning."

"Yes, starting tomorrow, invite them one by one to the headquarters of the Golden Core Business Alliance in Chongshan Town for an interview."

"Our first trial volume, ’Jiao and the Scholar,’ consists of over 1,700 Golden Cores, each telling a person’s life perspective..."

"By viewing more than a thousand different perspectives of life’s cores, a storyline is woven, presenting a dramatic and twisting plot of ’Jiao and the Scholar,’ with twists and turns."

"Then, the main perspective cores left by Jiao Wuyu and Li Youzhu after their death will inevitably sell at high prices!"

"After all, they’re the protagonists. They felt compassionate towards Jiao Wuyu and Li Youzhu... how pitiful they were. Wouldn’t their Golden Cores, refined posthumously, sell at a high price? Isn’t there significant value in collecting them?"

Su Yuniang rolled her eyes from the side.

These people truly know how to cause trouble!

They’re so troublesome!

Luckily, Ning Jiaojiao isn’t here, otherwise, you’d all be doomed.

Blackening her parents, already dead, and saying those golden cores were all refined using their life’s essence posthumously.

For every death, there’s a Golden Core...

They’re aiming for each Golden Core to have its own pre-life story.

And the countless Golden Cores sold, when pooled together, depict the lives of countless people, interconnected, forming a magnificent Daoist civilization.

Some inconspicuous Golden Cores will have unexpected easter eggs, surprises.

In any case, they want to enrich the Golden Core backgrounds in a "realistic" manner.

A luxury brand must learn to tell stories, without storytelling there’s no sentiment, without sentiment there’s no depth, without depth, how can it sell at high prices?

That’s how luxury goods work!

A single Golden Core is a single life, containing that person’s entire life... would you really feel okay buying it at a low price?

Right!

My blacksmith’s life counts as well.

This instantly boosts its class, sentiment.

Their first adapted story ’Jiao and the Scholar’ will use pre-life perspectives from over a thousand Golden Cores.

It tells a dramatic love story of twists and turns that is heart-wrenching.

And this is just one small region’s touching story. It’s expected there will be adapted stories of Xu Huan’s background, leaving reversed plotlines of Golden Cores...

They will keep adapting stories this way, embellishing them, but without revealing the Nine-State background, using the Daoist background to logically adapt the story.

Continuously interacting, unveiling the fascinating corner of the Daoist world, impacting people’s hearts.

This Golden Core medium will undoubtedly sweep the entire video sector, with the innate advantages of Golden Cores, those old traditional mediums of the Immortal Realm such as Little Imperial Uncle, illusion books, memory capturing magic balls... surely won’t compete with them.

"This way it can also bring the Daoist civilization’s entry into the Immortal Realm, adding a mysterious color, warming up, letting people know how upright, kind, passionate, and touching our Daoist blacksmiths are." Jiucai Rong stood up, clapped his hands,

"Alright, when traveling far, our background and identity are self-made! We have to prepare for interviews, get a group of people to record for us."

"I’ve heard a few big shots can draw scenes with Tao Rhyme, wonder what the cost is."
