I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players

Two days have passed.

The tomb strategy still has no progress. Blacksmiths are working hard to overcome the challenges and have started setting up a photo studio in the main tomb, establishing a small Sword Casting Manor campsite, preparing for a long-term battle.

Meanwhile, outside, the Golden Core suddenly became the hottest topic among the lower ranks of the Zhongluan Domain.

First, there is the Seven Dragon Pearls, with daily draws where people gather in front of shops to watch the lottery and exchange winning numbers.

Some also call it the "single-color ball."

Because it only has one color, dazzling gold, the color of wealth.

Every day, a group of cultivators watching the draw, alongside some old mystics, muttering divination about how to win the "single-color ball."

A bunch of people together guessing the numbers for the next round.

Various subsidiary fortune-telling stalls began filling up the area outside the [Taoism Golden Core] shops.

No kidding.

Some skilled diviners manage a 40% probability of winning!

These mystics were chased daily by crowds of cultivators wanting the next day’s winning number, then swapping the numbers’ Golden Cores with others in advance.

This situation really infuriated the franchise owners.

You dare to fleece me?

They hired professionals to personally draw the daily winning numbers, suppress destiny, isolating outsiders’ divination.

This farce unexpectedly created quite a stir.

Even several Immortal Domain civilizations next door became extremely curious.

Eating a Pill Medicine, how did you start gambling? Using Golden Core to play ball, is there such an elastic Pill Medicine in this world? If used to play ball, won’t it wear out? If it wears out, wouldn’t that be heartbreaking?

"Does your Golden Core really have poison, truly using metal as Pill Medicine?"

"Interesting, recently thinking of visiting Zhongluan Domain."

"Heard the Pill Medicine is dazzlingly gold, worthy of being the best-looking Pill Medicine in Immortal Realm history, can be used as light bulbs, I’ll go check it out."

Tourists started increasing.

Zhongluan Domain, Ten Thousand Beasts Domain, were already tourism-heavy domains, always having plenty of visitors.

Many tourists here came to taste the food made by Zhongluan chefs or study the ever-changing techniques of Zhongluan beauties.

As a result, a batch of tourists arrived, though not daring to eat Golden Core, managed to gather some Golden Cores, experiencing the local [Golden Core Hall] and enjoying themselves thoroughly.

Therefore, the already high flow of visitors to the Zhongluan Domain soared dramatically, everyone wanting to see Stacking People, and now the wind has helped fuel the flames for even greater growth.

Relying on [Golden Core Hall] to become popular, establishing itself as a gambling city, forming a tourist area around it.

Not engaging in a few "Golden Core" chips, having some fun, one feels embarrassed to say they’re an advanced cultivator.

...

At this moment.

Golden Core Hall.

Wanluan Vase slightly frowned, "This place is really lively, that guy Wan Luanfeng did such a move secretly in business!"

"For this trial, if there are no accidents, if he makes another breakthrough personally, I’m afraid his victory is already set."

Initially, the cultivation qualities of their batch of Saint Children and Saintesses were about the same.

Next, it’s all a test of a person’s talent, business acumen, ability to form alliances... these comprehensive qualities.

And the other party’s move seems to already be winning!

Beside, another Saint Child sighed:

"I wanted to give him some trouble too, hinted to a batch of divination-savvy cultivators to predict Seven Dragon Pearls numbers at their doors, then head to the third-floor hall, making gold if lucky."

"What happened? Their franchise owners hired experts to suppress destiny and warned us."

Wanluan Vase upon hearing, could only show a bit of a wry smile.

Indeed.

Their competition among Saint Children, using some dirty tricks secretly, outsiders don’t really care.

But these tricks affecting their business directly harm their interests, rousing public outrage, who would tolerate you?

"So we really have no way then." Wanluan Vase showed a hint of bitterness, "Taoism Golden Core, Xi Rong, what is the sacred power behind it?"

She held the Golden Core and looked at the words [Xi Rong] on top, hesitating inside.

Although publicly advertised as Xi Rong being a force in the alchemy lineage.

Yet the obvious can clearly tell, they are just blacksmiths!

His visit this time is to the Golden Core headquarters here, to talk with the other side, see if he can coax them over.

After all.

If your subordinate betrays you, siding with another Saint Child, it’s your own incompetence, can’t blame anyone.

This is within the sect’s allowed competition range.

Thus, before him, he wants to reach out to this mysterious Golden Core civilization for cooperation, maybe offer more profit.

If his guess is correct, according to tradition, Wan Luanfeng’s cooperation with this Golden Core civilization has a 70-30 profit split.

Wan Luanfeng just acts as a protector and takes 70%.

This is the dominance of Immortal Realm civilization.

Doing business here isn’t just you want to do it and you can, most profits must be handed over...

And he, Wanluan Vase, is seeking contact with the other side, to see if he can offer more favorable terms, like a 60-40 or even 50-50 split.

As for going lower? Letting the other side hold major shares?

This is simply impossible!

Firstly, there’s native prejudice against outsiders.

They naturally look down on foreign miners, seeing them as only fit for mining in mines.

Even if really split profits like this...

The sect’s evaluation of him wouldn’t be great!

Thinking someone like him taking so little profit, unable to control subordinates, unable to dominate other civilizations, unsuitable to be a future Sect Leader.

A 60-40 split, taking 60%, already worsens Saint Children’s evaluation.

He considered in his mind, "But other areas can compensate a bit, like marrying the daughter of their Golden Core power’s leader."

While observing everywhere, they walked around, becoming more alarmed the more they saw!

Golden Core Hall had become many people’s entertainment and money-making venue.

Many cultivators to earn Golden Core, practiced ball skills diligently, reaching supernatural levels.

Competing against people, even more exaggerated than techniques in those passionate comics.

Moreover.

There’s the painter Jiucai Rong leading the trend, and a culture of boastfulness rose across the whole ball court.

For example, playing while saying: "Your backhand is weak, forehand lacks essence, steps are loose, reaction is slow!"

Various boastful catchphrases continuously emerge.

Some cultivators come here to flirt and boast.

It’s become a social venue.

Even famous players, had groups of fangirls cheering from a distance when appearing.

This Golden Core...

Seemingly further expands their Wanluan Sect.

Their sect, under Wan Luanfeng’s potential future True Immortal Sect Leader, would use the Golden Core industry to further expand their territory, surpassing nearby Immortal Venerate forces.

Elders focused solely on profit will surely choose to support Wan Luanfeng, taking the Golden Core industry to ascend to Sect Leader.

"How hateful, the victory is set then?"

Amid contemplation, he called the accompanying Saint Child, "Let us have a ball game, this ping-pong is quite interesting!"

"Okay!"

Both Saint Children’s eyes burned with fiery determination.

This is also a form of competition and combat!

Their True Immortal Path Guardian would silently record their actions, wins, losses, and performances, reporting back internally to the sect for evaluations.

This match must not lose!

In an instant, both minds flashed this thought.

Toss the Golden Core!

The paddle swings.

Clang!

The Golden Core quickly bounced around in front of both sides.

Filled with murderous intention, the Golden Core darted like lightning in various Z-shaped bounces, leaving viewers dizzy.

After the match ended, Wanluan Vase won, crushing the accompanying Saint Child.

His previously irritated mind showed a bit of a smile:

"Let’s go, time’s about up, the preliminary has ended, let’s attend the final interview of that Illusion Realm, taking the chance to interact with their leader."

Soon, they arrived in a building.

Diverse people were already here wearing face masks to conceal identities, waiting.

And Jiu Shui who just finished watching the Immortal Realm gate on the Zhongluan Domain side, glanced at them briefly, seemingly sensing the True Immortal Path Guardians of these two:

"This Xi Rong, truly mysterious, even attracted core disciples protected by True Immortals."
