I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players

At this moment.

Ning Zheng did not go back to retrieve the remaining 20 million upper grade Immortal Stones from the villa for cultivation. After all, they needed to be kept as the villa’s working capital and could not be exhausted all at once.

Moreover, having already spent this batch of 10 million upper grade Immortal Stones, he was almost at the limit of controlling the number of Dharma Aspects.

Back then, the Shadow Devouring Dragon Emperor could control over eight thousand Dharma Aspects...

But now, Ning Zheng’s strength only allowed him to control a little over a hundred.

However, the quality on both sides is in no way comparable, so naturally, a simple comparison isn’t fair.

Each of his Dharma Aspects can showcase its abilities in a splendid manner.

The versatility of the masks, the Taoist system of the Golden God... The mental and flesh poisons of the Shadow Crocodile and Human God Flower.

They are quite formidable.

The Dharma Aspects have half of his power.

To put it bluntly, if not equipped with gear, everyone would be fighting with bare hands.

The so-called geniuses with Immortal Venerate potential from the outside world, who have gone through nine tribulations and are almost perfect monsters, might not even be a match for one of Ning Zheng’s Dharma Aspects.

Because completing the tenth tribulation makes one ten times stronger than just nine tribulations!

Converted, Ning Zheng’s Dharma Aspects, having 50% of his body’s combat power, are five times stronger than those guys, indeed quite exaggerated.

Of course, they go out fully equipped with the Six-God Armor.

And it’s impossible for Ning Zheng to equip every Dharma Aspect with various top-tier Immortal Artifacts. If a fight truly broke out, the unequipped Dharma Aspects would definitely lose.

At this moment.

Ning Zheng conducted a mental battle analysis, making theoretical assessments of his strength.

Yet he dared not truly make a move and find an opponent to measure up against, that would be too foolish.

"Enough, why think so much? I, Ning Zheng, have never been one to enjoy fighting, I am a merchant managing a villa and haven’t experienced many real battles."

He sighed, continually reflecting honestly,

"Yesterday, breaking through ten realms empowered me a hundredfold, and today, adding a hundred or so Dharma Aspects strengthened me another hundredfold. This geometrically multiplying power daily somewhat disrupts my Tao Heart."

He quietly urged himself to calm down, "I mustn’t break through to the Celestial Immortal stage again and become a hundred times stronger tomorrow, better save it for next week."

He knew he couldn’t become a blacksmith, recklessness could lead to destruction.

I, Ning Zheng, examine myself three times a day to avoid becoming a blacksmith jumping into a forging furnace to die!

His gaze fell upon his Dharma Aspect army,

"Most of these people should remain in the mining areas, sent to factories for work, while a handful should be dispatched to surrounding worlds, as stepping stones for my body-switching!"

A crafty rabbit has three burrows.

Ning Zheng is likewise.

He even thought of stationing one in each of the Thirteen Domains of the Immortal Realm, for convenient movement.

He spent several hours strategically deploying his Dharma Aspects, letting them enter the mining areas in batches through various entrances in the Immortal Realm, before quietly departing.

He planned to cultivate his mind and calm himself.

...

...

In front of the Immortal Realm gates.

A few guards couldn’t help but sigh, "Recently, have more Immortals been entering the Immortal Realm?"

"Indeed, just here at our Zhongluan Domain gate, several hundred Immortals have entered this month alone."

"I’ve heard it’s the same at other gates, with a steady flow of ascensions throughout the month."

"I’ve heard the mining area has seen a sudden influx of thousands of miners, and every single one is diligently mining, abstaining from drinking or gambling, they are quite fierce."

"Wow! They say an unprecedented great era is coming, but is this great era starting from the Immortal Realm’s mining area? Has the competition already escalated to such an extent?"

"Indeed, this is the highest number of miners in the Immortal Realm’s history, and they’re all frantically mining."

"Enough, I can’t drink with you tonight, I’ll go cultivate for a while, lest I get squeezed out of even this gatekeeping job."

"Then I should also cultivate, I recently acquired a few Golden Cores, they are cheap and causing me stomachaches. Now with over twenty numbers gathered, who knows, tomorrow’s Seven Dragon Pearls number might land on me."

"I’ve also been checking the winning seven-digit number daily, seeing if it matches the Golden Core numbers I hold. If it doesn’t, maybe we can pool our numbers together and share the prize."

"In my opinion, you’re all cowards, might as well take your Golden Cores to the third-floor hall for some fun. I had a streak of luck recently, talk about a massive profit..."

...

As they spoke, a shift change time arrived.

Nine Shui arrived to take over the shift, slightly furrowing his brows, "These Golden Cores do indeed offer great value, but I do not need them."

However, how did Xi Rong truly have a domain in the Immortal Realm?

He was a bit curious, but it was not really his concern.

He was indifferent to the external conspiracies, long having seen through fame and fortune.

The affairs of the outside world had nothing to do with him.

He made a handover with a few Celestial Soldiers and began taking care of the gate.

This position as a gatekeeping Celestial Soldier was arranged after he married into his wife’s family.

It was a quite friendly position given to him.

After all, though his cultivation potential wasn’t strong, his farming skills amazed the family elders, greatly shocking them.

Back in the Nine-State era, Xinyi, Rose... a series of Postnatal Spiritual Roots, were all farmed by him, the Spirit Farmer.

The world only saw him as the number one strong Emperor, not knowing he had single-handedly started the era of Postnatal Spiritual Root planting; this was quite terrifying.

He was the first Shennong in history.

Planting, nurturing, watching the rice flowers bloom, feeling the vibrant and beautiful life made Nine Shui happy, coupled with a fulfilling family life...

This was his most favored way of cultivating growth.

As a non-combat Professional Cultivator, engaging in farming and wellness, some battle cultivators would come seeking his expertise, forging good connections and earning the world’s respect.

When conflicts arose among various factions, he wouldn’t be affected as a neutral professional... He could quietly plant his beloved rice flowers while observing from the sidelines.

Moreover, he had recently added a side job, painting.

Although he had carefully inquired, selling Little Imperial Uncle paintings was the most profitable in the painting business, with authors remaining anonymous, known to no one.

But Nine Shui didn’t want to paint those.

He sold Enlightenment Maps.

In the Celestial Immortal Realm, one cultivates their Spiritual Roots internally, comprehends rules, and evolves the Five Elements within, Yin and Yang, and other great paths.

He painted scrolls to enhance enlightenment.

Everyone believed he was a High-Tier Celestial Immortal, or even a True Immortal... to have such high Law Comprehension, he gained a nice persona within the circle.

Even when they tried to catch him, they could at most find the painter who temporarily taught him painting.

After all, his painting skills were learned from him.

That person, loving to stir trouble everywhere, didn’t mind if he added another account to his messy record.

"These years have unfolded just as I wished."

After his shift change, Nine Shui looked at the beautiful scenery of the Immortal Realm, calmly seated at the Zhongluan Domain gate, playing the role of a small gatekeeping Celestial Soldier, elegantly scribbling on a scroll.

His Enlightenment Maps had been selling well of late, even gaining some fame in the circle, with many Celestial Immortals commissioning him.

His life was quite enjoyable.

However, there seemed to be a mysterious guest recently, inviting some painting authors, intending to create Illusion Realm images, offering generous rewards.

Furthermore, it was said that their works could be remembered in history, causing a sensation in the Immortal Realm.

"Enough, after my shift change, I’ll drop by to take a look," he sighed softly, this was the beautiful life he wished for.
