Chapter 1065 - 152: The Ferocious Growth of the Villa and External News
Jiucai Rong took out a strategic proposal.
1. True Immortal members sign a contract, and their presence will not be exposed.
It seems like they will be exposed when they land in Chongshan Town, but in reality, they won’t be.
Heaven’s Chosen army?
Outsiders would only think that the Golden Core Business Alliance was simply setting up a special guard army in Chongshan Town.
And the True Immortal and Celestial Immortal characters landing in Chongshan Town, although shocked that the Illusion Realm equals reality,
cannot reveal it to the outside world due to dual restrictions.
If they can’t reveal it, who would know?
It’s the same as before—outsiders will only think they have more troops.
At least it can be kept under wraps for several months, especially now in these tumultuous times, when the attention of the Immortal Venerates has already been diverted.
2. The divination war of the Pseudo-human Race occupies the computational power of the Immortal Realm.
Now that the Pseudo-human Calamity has erupted, it’s essentially a time of rampant wars.
The core top-tier computational power auspicious beasts of the Immortal Realm have been mobilized to the front lines to fight... They can’t foresee the disaster on Ning Zheng’s side.
Simply put, the memory of the computational power in the Immortal Realm has long been occupied!
3. We have the Xirong Manor Master, so we’re not afraid.
The identity of our Xirong Manor Master is mysterious and immensely powerful. Are you scared of a little divination, catching me?
Why are we not afraid?
Not afraid means not afraid.
4. The geographical location is excellent.
Our base is in a tomb, and "Sword Casting Manor" already has its own world MMORPG map, with a group of NPCs self-producing and self-selling, comparable to the size of the Celestial Destiny World...
The key point is: surrounded by Tribulation Qi, not afraid of divination!
"Our base is a world, and we have been working hard, sending the new players that appear daily to pioneer, following the traditional sandbox map route of online games."
"Under the free labor of new players, our base map is thriving."
Jiucai Rong talked eloquently, "At the same time, opening our Heaven’s Chosen mercenaries is feasible, although it may seem somewhat absurd."
"Our blacksmiths will continue as NPCs, making those guys work for us."
They are completely prepared to create a simulation management gameplay.
Ning Zheng did not say anything about this; nowadays, I am not the only rebel, with so many of them, who would pay attention to my Golden Core Business Alliance?
I am just a small fry among them.
Several months are enough.
If it doesn’t work out, I’ll flee. After all, Daoist civilization is meant for fleeing; it’s always been about seeing whether I or the artist can run faster.
Then, Ning Zheng continued to listen to Jiucai Rong’s report on the recent multi-faceted development of "Sword Casting Manor", with the key points as follows:
1. The story of "Jiao and the Scholar" begins its second volume mainline, "Pseudo-human Siege."
The entire story tells of the human race overthrowing the pseudo-humans after the Pseudo-human Calamity, establishing a new dynasty, and then turning around to raise pseudo-humans, specifically the story of Cultivators with Innate Spiritual Roots.
The historical truth revealed: The flower bloomed and I saw my history; the flower withered and another me took its place.
And the real difference between Postnatal Spiritual Roots and Innate Spiritual Roots.
In addition, the story of Xu Huan, originally full of twists and turns, you think he’s a historical life, but he’s alive, you think he’s an ancient person but he’s a captive sheep.
This exciting and touching story of reversal fits perfectly with the environment of the Immortal Realm where the Pseudo-human Calamity erupted, and once spread, the Immortal Realm would be shaken.
Daoist civilization would become even more renowned.
Of course, because this story is too shocking, if the Immortal Venerates discover it, it would enter the sight of the big players.
The blacksmiths thought that this mainline expansion pack is for members only!
Only for the Heaven’s Chosen to watch, to shock them and earn their user loyalty, giving them the impression that our Daoist civilization is profound and unfathomable.
Apart from the main storyline, they’ve recently come up with a bunch of Golden Core sideline storylines: "The Cultivator Is Not Cold", "The Dragon King’s Return", "The Daoist Descending the Mountain, Seven Sisters Spoil Me Superbly", "Dominant Sect Master: I Escape with the Ball at the Start"...
Various rich and diverse story content enriches our Daoist civilization’s background, telling various true stories of our Daoists before they passed.
Ning Zheng glanced at it briefly and found it somewhat speechless.
Recently, the market research department—the Medical Pavilion, with a group of Medical Fairies and Immortal Aunts, has also been working hard; the types of Golden Core being consumed have increased.
For instance, those that help with cultivation, with enlightenment, and with healing by counteracting toxins...
This aspect of Golden Core is still enriching its products, as maintaining a sales base is something the manor has always needed.
The development of Golden Core products is as described above.
2. The reconstruction of Chongshan Town.
The reconstruction effort is practically complete; these days, their civil engineering is not to be underestimated.
The previous marketplace has become even more prosperous, and they’ve upgraded the previous marketplace’s protective array.
As for how they upgraded it?
It wasn’t through their intricate array techniques, but rather by using a pile of array plates looted during a raid to reinforce Chongshan Town.
As a result, Chongshan Town can now be considered a forward base in the Immortal Realm.
Paving the way for the complete opening of the second Celestial Destiny Village, Chongshan Village.
3. The rescue efforts of the Treasure Lotus Lamp and the Human Emperor Banner.
This wave of disasters in the Immortal Realm has left many innocent towns and villages suffering, with the land littered with the embers of common folk.
The blacksmiths have led this diligent rescue team, sweeping through surrounding areas and rescuing some common folk into the Soul-Calling Banner for shelter.
After all, embers are always the best workers.
It’s just that recently, they’ve almost exhausted the nearby embers, and the blacksmiths continue to explore maps further out, encountering quite a bit of resistance.
4. The Tao Companion system.
The Tao Companions have been brought to Chongshan Town, essentially settling down and seeking refuge in the "Sword Casting Manor" sect.
Many have even reached a favorable impression score of over 50.
Due to a ’hero saving the fair maiden’ event, the female Celestial Immortals’ impressions have been growing day by day.
"Sir, this Tao Companion topic is what I would like to discuss now."
Jiucai Rong had a serious expression: "Should we send our actual Tao Companions to reside in the Sword Casting Manor?"
"These people are still housed in Chongshan Town and it doesn’t feel very safe here."
They didn’t dare make a decision on this and were waiting for the old steward to return and make a statement.
Ning Zheng thought for a moment, "Send them to the village of commoners under the Sword Casting Manor in Kong Country, designating a separate village for them as a residential area."
"Where would they usually work, then?" Jiucai Rong probed.
"The Spirit Farmers should work in the mid-mountain area, cultivating the Spirit Field and Meat Field. As for those smithing, they should go to Celestial Destiny Village number one for smithing."
"When their population expands, they can be sent to outside mapped towns to establish a distinct residential sect area."
Jiucai Rong showed a hint of disappointment.
He had been thinking of tricking his girlfriends into going to the Sword Casting Manor to work with the blacksmiths.
But how would Ning Zheng let them have their way?
Letting them gather together, how would they get any work done?
As for bringing this batch of Celestial Immortals into his own base at Sword Casting Manor, Ning Zheng didn’t see an issue with it!
What’s the matter with bringing them in?
Once brought in, there’s no getting out, what aftermath could there possibly be?
The backbone of labor in the Immortal Realm is definitely the Celestial Immortal tier.
It’s a truth that even Immortal Venerates know—you can’t rely on True Immortals to work, right?
Farming, smithing—these Celestial Immortals will never be phased out by any update, and Ning Zheng can use them until the world ends!
After handling the recent development of the manor players, Ning Zheng finally glanced at external news.
In truth, there was little news from outside in recent days.
On the surface, it seems calm...
But beneath the surface, who knows?
In a Qi Fortune War, even if it’s life and death on both sides, it’s invisible to the naked eye.
However, one piece of news did surprise Ning Zheng:
This secret news only spread yesterday.
In the Immortal Vein Domain, an explosion occurred on the day the disaster erupted...
This information immediately put Ning Zheng on alert.
"Fortunately, I had all my miners come back that day, or it would’ve been a huge loss."
"But the reason for the vein explosion was evident; the artist had stationed a large number of miners, probably not just for mining, but secretly stirring things up—like I did—trying to probe the source of the Immortal Vein’s Immortal Stone."
Ning Zheng had to retreat halfway through his excavation when he could dig no further.
But the artist, a terrifying person, had arranged numerous miners, secretly plotted his move, and detonated it outright.
The artist truly is fierce.
