I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players

Next day.

Chaotic Yellow Immortal Venerable logged in and went back to studying his Embers, starting to reincarnate and play around with his pet.

Ning Zheng was in his room meditating, watching speechlessly:

"Is this guy seriously ill? Addicted? How can you as an Immortal Venerable be so idle? You guys are still in combat."

"Could it be that he is the kind of logistician sitting in town, just being a mascot and selling cuteness like an Auspicious Beast?"

He quietly mocked.

After observing for a while, he finally confirmed this person wouldn’t cause trouble.

This Immortal Venerable was behaving honestly, following other Celestial and True Immortals to reincarnate and enhance his Cultivation...

Ning Zheng didn’t pay him any mind.

He seemed quite happy playing with his Embers.

In fact, Ning Zheng didn’t want someone of Immortal Venerable’s level to enter because their controllability was too low.

The original plan was to let Celestial Immortals, True Immortals, slowly develop this platform, grow stronger, and then consider Immortal Venerables later.

But since they’ve all come in, what can be done?

Kick them out?

Surely they’ll just send various disciples to take their place, so there’s no point in bothering.

On the second day of Chongshan Town’s launch, the blacksmiths started today’s tasks.

Yesterday’s main task on the bulletin board was to dissect the Wood City’s True Immortal, and absorb the Wood Stronghold Sect’s spoils.

Today’s main tasks are:

1. Clear the surrounding Ghost Disasters.

2. Sell Storage Equipment, establish trade routes, broaden the influence of our Chongshan Town.

Now, Sword Casting Manor’s special product: Spatial Storage Equipment, has already accumulated a large stock.

Though this town of over a million people is just a small town, it can’t withstand everyone knowing how to make Storage Equipment.

Storage Rings, Storage Bags...

High quality and low cost, the production cost is much lower than the Immortal Realm’s average, almost becoming the second industry outside Sword Casting Manor.

A group of Heaven’s Chosen were discussing in front of the bulletin board.

"Today’s task is to open up the sales route to the neighboring marketplace?"

"And explore the surrounding jungle environment, map out the new map of the Immortal Realm Major Transformation Expansion."

"Did I hear there’s a Ghost Tide approaching?"

"That’s right, nowadays in the Immortal Realm, the wild isn’t safe anymore, many wild races have become ghostified, completely annihilated."

"Is there going to be another Ghost Tide siege event?"

Now that development has progressed, the number of Heaven’s Chosen has frighteningly reached over forty thousand.

And the number of player blacksmiths has also surpassed ten thousand, but they are mostly developing over at Sword Casting Manor, the tomb map area.

"Friends, want to take on tasks?"

"Why not take on this task if it means stepping out of this Chongshan Town framework?"

"Exactly, stepping out reveals the truth out there."

Some True Immortals were becoming suspicious.

It must be said, the previous over a month’s Sword Casting Manor experience in Celestial Destiny Village was beneficial, instilling in these Heaven’s Chosen the habit of forming teams to take on tasks.

Soon, a group of Human-level Heaven’s Chosen began their expedition.

"Xi Rong’s expedition will leave no blade of grass unturned!"

A blacksmith player mixed in among the Heaven’s Chosen, pretending his reality was that of a True Immortal, shouted loudly as he joined the expedition.

Rustle, rustle!

A multitude of soldiers, walking out of Chongshan Town, looked at the green mountains and waters outside.

This departure was to pioneer trade routes, gather intelligence on the enemy.

Among them, True Immortal Momei led a hundred-man army alone, behind her were the "Auspicious" three treasures: Shao Chaikun, Food God, Bai Pingtian.

These three infamous ones had been hunted, killed several times in a row, quite miserable.

But True Immortal Momei rather took a liking to these three unfortunate fellows.

"Even a scrap of toilet paper has its uses, let alone these three Plague Gods?"

Seeing other Heaven’s Chosen companions’ doubts, True Immortal Momei smiled and said: "With these three Plague Gods, it’s easier to run into outside Ghost Tides and see the situation out there."

"Oh, that’s why!"

The Heaven’s Chosen felt they had learned, there was indeed such a way to use waste.

Anyway, they aren’t afraid of death, might as well take these Plague Gods and cause some cursed events.

Bai Pingtian, Food God, Shao Chaikun: "..."

We have it tough.

Why are you assuming we’re Plague Gods?

Night Emperor and Ye Tian’ai also mixed into the team, going into battle with the army.

This group of Heaven’s Chosen flew all the way, crossing more than a dozen mountain peaks, seeing a Ghost Tide surging in the distance.

The wilderness ecosystem had suffered significant damage.

After all, ghosts are empty shell beings that go berserk, killing everything around them madly, stuffing the flesh and blood into their hollow shells...

Ghost Tide outbreaks, continuously spreading, killing, eventually leading to no living creatures...

Night Emperor had a serious expression, analyzing: "Here, it will eventually become the backdrop of the ’Pseudo-human Siege’ story, where people can only use the Earth-bound Spirit Ancestor to build tomb cities and Historical Painting Walls to oppose the Ghost Tides outside."

Other Immortals nodded.

"Indeed, the Immortal Realm is going into chaos."

"It’s likely, like in the story, a graveyard siege will be necessary."

"In the story, they exhausted every effort, finally defeating the pseudo-humans in their dynasty and herding them into graveyard city walls, but us? The pseudo-humans haven’t erupted here yet."

"We need a Jiu Shui, to quell the pseudo-human uprising."

"The story is just a story, who knows if it’s true?"

"But as described in the story, it is indeed a very reasonable future."

...

However.

They became even more astonished: here was actually real, not an Illusion Realm!

If it were a limited small-scale map, no matter how realistic, they wouldn’t be too suspicious, but with the Immortal Realm major maps appearing...

It was enough to make the True Immortals present breathe heavily!

They understood better than anyone else the terrifying significance of the platform black market provided by Xi Rong.

This black market would crush all the black markets in the Immortal Realm, unify all black market markets!

Because what is a black market?

The core is: black!

Under the cover of darkness, engaging in various shady activities.

Like fencing stolen goods, bounties for enemies, posting tasks, secretly assaulting a Sect, and covertly putting a bounty on a prodigy from a Sect, befriending them...

And here?

The cover of darkness here is literal!

This black market actually provides you with a real character, another identity for you to control, to do shady work, secretly causing trouble!

And after bringing this character back, you can even post tasks, hire other professionals to help fence the stolen goods!

This complete service is simply perfect.

Now they finally understood what the advanced VIP email feature was about.

Fencing stolen goods also included material transmission.

All the True Immortals weren’t in a hurry to combat the Ghost Tide, their minds were frantically thinking:

"This Xi Rong will surely unify the Immortal Realm’s black markets."

"Pity, we can’t find the location of his headquarters, his lair."

"Too cautious, even this forward base has us Heaven’s Chosen defending it, constructing it, operating it, these tasks of quelling the Ghost Tides, opening up trade routes are all our responsibility."

But also good, this Chongshan Town black market is established, its members will benefit from it.

Anyway, we can earn Contribution Points, and the difficulty isn’t high.

Now these bigwigs were completely convinced of this black market’s prospects, each eager to invest.

Rustle, rustle!

As they spoke, these Heaven’s Chosen started clearing the distant Ghost Tide.

Suddenly, an enormous army of Yin Soldiers madly surged forth, entangling with the Heaven’s Chosen, both sides fighting fiercely.
