I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players

The Celestial Immortal from the Fire Domain took the treasure medicine, unable to conceal his joy.

However, the figure within the shadows said, "This medicine is not free. Remember to give me resources; otherwise, I won’t be able to craft another piece that can resurrect an Immortal Venerate."

The Celestial Immortal from the Fire Domain showed a trace of dissatisfaction: "Why bother resurrecting others..."

The figure in the shadows spoke calmly, "In the chaos of the Immortal Realm, only then do you have a chance, I have a chance, everyone has a chance... Everything gets reshuffled."

The Celestial Immortal from the Fire Domain was startled: "How many entities like myself are there?"

The silhouette chuckled, "Like stars scattered across the sky, awaiting the moment to converge."

Whether they were part of the Xirong Golden Core or natives that had ascended from the Nine-State like Xin Xichen and others, he invested and helped, joining their ranks, providing them a background, aiding their development.

He even assisted certain foreign civilization forces hidden in the Immortal Realm to a certain extent.

There were a total of three hundred entities of varying sizes, many potent in potential, two or three akin to the mysterious, ancient, remote organization like Xirong.

The water runs deep in the Immortal Realm!

And what he needed to do was ignite them all.

Under the shocked gaze of the Celestial Immortal from the Fire Domain, the painter’s silhouette gradually faded away.

"This is my gift to all beings. I do not seek material reward or resource recompense from you; I only ask you to present me with a splendid canvas."

He wore a dark expression, revealing a slight smile: The stage has almost been set.

Over two hundred minor protagonists, over a dozen medium-sized protagonists like Xin Xichen, and seven or eight major protagonists with mysterious depths like Xi Rong, the Celestial Immortal from the Fire Domain, and the Celestial Immortal from the Water Domain.

"I don’t know what your depths are."

Within a quiet smile, his eyes once again reflected threads of black light, "But I have provided you with an eternal canvas, where ancient Immortal Venerates slumbering in history shall return."

"Past, present, future, all shall clash here."

...

...

Once a week, Ning Zheng would spend 1,000 upper-grade immortal stones to buy a weekly report.

One can only say it’s truly expensive.

Yet it’s an unavoidable expense, well worth it when dispersed across his forces, allowing quicker access to information from various places.

Moreover, Ning Zheng discovered something peculiar.

In the Immortal Realm, the pseudo-human iron thread worms seem to have resurfaced in the world.

For Ning Zheng saw a similar oppressive atmosphere of the pseudo-human calamity sweeping the Nine-State—a sprinkling of rumors about someone turning into a stranger overnight, or suspicions of someone suffering memory loss...

Before the pseudo-human calamity in Nine-State could erupt, it was suppressed by Jiu Shui!

For Jiu Shui spent his life scheming against the Pseudo-human Dynasty.

He was a human emperor specializing in pseudo-human special operations, so when he released the pseudo-human calamity to ravage the East Sea, he had absolute certainty in subduing it.

In the Nine-State, the pseudo-human calamity was just bluster with minor actual impact.

And here?

"The pseudo-human calamity that didn’t erupt in Nine-State is about to explode here." Ning Zheng maintained a peaceful expression, "The painter is indeed a madman; releasing the pseudo-human calamity, Embers virus... releasing anything regardless of the scale of chaos."

Furthermore, Ning Zheng detected clues in the weekly report, thanks to his knowledge in the area.

The Immortal Realm, however, remains oblivious.

After all, the painter planted a whole bunch of middle-level traitors among the painters, just to help cover when releasing the pseudo-human race for possession.

"This painter claims not to be the main character of the backstage manipulator genre in novels? Chaos follows wherever he goes."

"This backstage manipulator toys with the lives of others everywhere... while I steadfastly and simply know only how to farm and manage my manor." Ning Zheng sighed deeply, releasing a beast of calamity in this infernal cage of Nine-State...

Subsequently, Ning Zheng continued to disregard it, focusing on running his blacksmith army, going on various quests to earn money, selling Golden Core.

And forging good relationships with various Celestial Immortals.

Ning Zheng observed that these arriving Celestial Immortals were not that advanced.

These Celestial Immortals seemed unaware of the brewing storm.

Ning Zheng also lazily ignored it, continuing to expand, drawing in this batch of Celestial Immortal members, quietly awaiting the unfolding of events.

Who knows which other entities the painter secretly sponsors to stir trouble besides Xi Rong?

Occasionally, Ning Zheng browsed the forum.

[Ah ah ah, Heart Water Sect, that group of Water People is so hard to conquer.]

[Seeking Lunmu Sect strategy!]

[That boss in the Holy Spirit area just can’t be defeated; they can merge and disperse, essentially forming a singular entity, a collective conscious life-form.]

[Ah ah, I fell in love, I tricked a Celestial Immortal while teaming up, ah gaga gaga!]

[Bro, how did you trick them?]

[I said I was a high-ranking member of the Xirong Golden Core Business Alliance, in charge of Xirong Golden Core’s core plantation area.]

[Is it you, Mudworker? You posed as a wealthy attractive man and went to deceive the Celestial Immortal beauty that arrived? You beast!]

...

Clearly, under the great fusion, a group of blacksmiths were very happy.

As for Mudworker and Daojiu, they are rather honest and straightforward players, so there’s not much resentment about him fooling an angelic girl.

If it were someone like Shao Chaikun or Food God, everyone would have condemned it.

Many people think that the celestial girl is very smart and can see through one’s character and qualities, and indeed, Mudworker is quite decent.

As one of the giants managing the Spirit Farmer area, he is the most diligent and conscientious.

Now, this honest and simple Mudworker couldn’t be happier, constantly showing attentiveness: "This is a treasure not inferior to the Yin Yang Creation Furnace, not yet announced, the Super Immortal Gourd, containing Original Spirit Water!"

The celestial beauty smiled, "Is it true?"

This celestial being is named Mu Xi, a celestial spirit farmer from the Lower Immortal Domain—Wood Immortal Domain, not skilled in combat.

Having the surname Wood is a privilege only for cultivators from the seven attribute Immortal Domains.

In the Immortal Realm, having the surname Wood is very noble.

"In reality, we also have this Immortal Gourd, which is managed by our plantation area, but we don’t often use it." Mudworker kept explaining.

"Can you send me some Original Spirit Liquid?" Mu Xi asked.

Mudworker thought for a moment, "That’s not possible, currently our Xirong internal management is strict. I can give you a little to use in the Illusion Realm for research."

"Okay, I can explore it a bit." This celestial spirit farmer, Mu Xi, was also delighted at heart.

In her eyes, this Original Spirit Liquid is not inferior in effect to that Yin Yang Creation Furnace for Spirit Farmers.

This man, the leader of agriculture under Xirong’s influence, with celestial cultivation, seemed a very good companion in her eyes, and his character is simple and kind, seemingly with no bad habits?

Pretty straightforward, easy to read.

Marrying him might even be considered a step up.

If I could manage this Immortal Gourd and produce Original Spirit Liquid...she was delighted at heart, this supreme treasure could at least provide her True Immortal level resources.

Marrying over wouldn’t be a loss.

Both the lover and the beloved gradually fell for each other.

Meanwhile, celestial Mu Xi, to demonstrate her value, offered various applications of Original Spirit Liquid, leaving Mudworker open-mouthed in astonishment.

This is it!

So this is how it’s used!

I told you, with treasures launched alongside the Yin Yang Creation Furnace, our Spirit Farmer area’s Immortal Gourd wasn’t weak!

Mudworker was ecstatic.

To him, having a companion help with research for free was amazing.

Mudworker was very pleased, having high authority as the Spirit Farmer area’s leader, and after obtaining Jiucai Rong’s consent, he secretly brought the Immortal Gourd to a hidden house in Celestial Destiny Village down the mountain.

For Mu Xi to conduct research.

Moreover, a group of Spirit Farmers went down the mountain with Mudworker, constantly calling her "sister-in-law," their voices familiar and enthusiastic, making Mu Xi somewhat embarrassed.

Not even married yet, and they’re so warm? Looks like my in-laws will be easy to get along with!

Mu Xi felt a bit shy, having been born into a side branch, not favored, sometimes even oppressed by the direct lineage.

She had heard many "online romance" stories from sisters in the Illusion Realm, about finding a "prince" and falling for a "Cinderella" true Immortal descendant.

Unexpectedly, such a thing happened to her.

After all, in Mu Xi’s view, someone who could control this Xirong agriculture area, and with such a powerful treasure, must have True Immortal-level parents backing Mudworker, truly noble roots.

Online romance turned out to be quite good!

Mu Xi was very happy, since farming professions are often quite simple, never had a fight, simply earning resources through farming and flora.

She somewhat intended to marry into a good family, escaping her predicament, otherwise, she’d eventually be forced into an arranged marriage.

Might as well find someone herself.

She had no idea about the craziness behind this mountain estate, her "online romance" partner was surrounded by a bunch of monsters and freaks.

"Sister."

"Marry over, our area will be yours to manage."

"Yes, our elder brother is gentle and shy, also kind, he will definitely treat you well."

But the Spirit Farmer blacksmiths didn’t care about that.

In their eyes, this was the start of a side quest for the Spirit Farmer area!

With help from a celestial bigshot, their Spirit Farmer business would go to the next level. Once the bigshot gets a wife, wouldn’t they be introduced to her sisters through the sister-in-law? They did the math enthusiastically.

"I will, I will work hard to prove myself, to pass the test." Mu Xi’s character was as gentle as water, feeling overly appreciated, deeply moved.

The group of unattainable True Immortals was researching the Yin Yang Creation Furnace.

While she, merely a celestial, independently researched an Immortal Gourd; what trust and opportunity is this?

She was very touched, silently clenched her fist, and looked at Mudworker gently, "I will study well."
