I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players

Right now, Sword Casting Manor is mainly divided into four zones,

1. Sword Casting Manor.

The mountaintop is a huge pile of Golden Core factories.

The mountainside is a huge stretch of Spirit Fields and Meat Fields.

At the foot of the mountain is the storage-and-production line of the Kong Country refugees.

In short, the entire Sword Casting Manor is one big product factory.

2. Celestial Destiny Village No. 1.

This Celestial Destiny Village is at the foot of the mountain, with Yin Yang Creation Furnaces, Immortal Gourds... and other Treasures.

This is the main research village.

Most of the outsider Heaven’s Chosen are here doing all kinds of research.

The True Immortal dissection missions the manor released a while back were researched here, and they had them forge Magical Artifacts.

Contribution Points are recorded in service to the manor.

3. The Ancient Tomb map outside the burial caves.

Mountains and rivers have been restocked and rearranged by Ning Zheng, turned into a large-scale online game; the common folk are currently providing Qi Fortune Value.

Every day missions are posted, letting newbie blacksmiths ride Flying Swords, cloaked in Taoist Robes, go down the mountain as disciples to various villages and towns, maintaining order, spreading doctrine.

This place has enormous potential; once developed it’s another main world.

But for now the common folk have only settled here for just over a month, so Ning Zheng hasn’t paid much attention.

4. Chongshan Town Celestial Destiny Village.

This Celestial Destiny Village is the one that belongs to Combat.

To sum it up.

Sword Casting Manor: assembly-line factory.

Celestial Destiny Village No. 1: logistics research institute.

Celestial Destiny Village No. 2: frontline Combat zone.

You could say the current overall power development has been planned out very neatly.

After all, for a large True Immortal force, if you don’t have several sub-zones, can you even call it heritage?

At this moment.

Chongshan Town.

Here in Celestial Destiny Village No. 2, Mu Xi logs in at the Resurrection Point.

Although she’s been madly doing research in Village No. 1, she occasionally wants to come take a look at Village No. 2.

"And I’ll bring over the Spirit Fields my Embers baby army has been farming this whole time, sell them here—fighting is so intense on the frontline, we can’t let the food run short."

Mu Xi’s gaze was sharp as snow; she took a lap around.

This Celestial Destiny Village No. 2 really is a pure combat-type city now.

Everywhere are potion shops, weapon stores, cultivation rooms—everything is combat support, truly impressive!

Right now she’s mixed into Xi Rong’s middle ranks.

The stronger Xi Rong gets, the faster it develops, the broader her future becomes.

She, this little Spirit Farmer Celestial Immortal, might actually take off and become a regional manager of some future Immortal Venerate Sect!

Glorious by association!

"I have to farm properly! Constantly tell myself I’m a diligent person, working 20 hours a day—only then am I a mature Embers production source!"

She’d discussed it with her sisters and the Mudworker earlier.

If she wants her Embers babies’ potential to skyrocket and turn into oxen and horses, she has to start with mental construction—psychologically suggest herself into an Innate Ox-and-Horse Sacred Body!

"And I have to keep improving my Spirit Farmer techniques, raise the quality of my Spirit Farmer Embers Army, or they might end up eliminating me instead."

Mu Xi was fired up.

Her talent for farming isn’t especially high, but being able to become a Celestial Immortal is already decent.

But she hadn’t made any progress these past years mainly because the people above were squeezing her too hard.

She had no time to improve herself, no channels to obtain higher-level secret knowledge.

But here.

That library they donated a while back has a lot of Spirit Farmer knowledge, letting her study like crazy.

She took a lap around Chongshan Town, watching those passing combat Cultivators and Su Yuniang maintaining public order.

Then she delivered Meat Field and Spirit Rice supplies to the restaurant, a flash of curiosity passing her eyes:

"Why is everyone lugging their comrades’ corpses—what have they been doing lately? Is the fighting on the frontline really that brutal?"

In the distance, charred, tattered corpses were being sent back to the manor one after another.

The casualties were miserable.

But dying that horribly, why are they grinning so happily?

Are they sick?

Mu Xi was utterly confused inside.

Then she saw Shopkeeper Jiucai Rong chuckle, "Them? Those combat Cultivators, they’re not doing human work anymore, they don’t go fight—they’ve found a fun new business."

"What business?" Mu Xi was stunned.

Jiucai Rong gave a brief explanation.

Basically, they stop being combat Cultivators and switch to being Shadow Emperors, scamming insurance, scamming death compensation payouts.

"Does that make money?" Mu Xi asked.

"How could it not?" Shopkeeper Jiucai Rong snorted. "When a Human Immortal Great Perfection dies in battle, they get ten thousand Upper Grade Immortal Stones in compensation; a Celestial Immortal dying in battle gets a hundred thousand!"

"As they say, the war horn blares, and Immortal Stones flow by the ten-thousand."

"If the person really dies, then the payout is actually kind of low, and they’ll even get cursed by the Cultivators as having materialized themselves—’You died and only got ten thousand?’"

"But now they’re not afraid of dying—they pick the corpse back up, stitch and patch it together, repair it a bit, and they can log back in again."

Mu Xi was completely shocked.

It’s that profitable?

So with her Human Immortal avatar, if she dies once a day, doesn’t that mean she makes ten thousand Upper Grade Immortal Stones every day?

Has this world gone insane?

Ten thousand Upper Grade Immortal Stones a day?

She’d struggled to earn money for several thousand years to save up ten thousand Upper Grade Immortal Stones, and they... do it in a single day?

Nice.

Way too nice.

Who could hold back from that!

Mu Xi was instantly tempted!

So this is a benefit the Xi Rong Business Alliance is giving us Heaven’s Chosen?

We only need 100 Upper Grade Immortal Stones to log in each day, but we earn 10,000 Upper Grade Immortal Stones.

Does this world really have such earth-shattering dividends!

Mu Xi bid farewell to Jiucai Rong, her expression dazed.

Suddenly she attained Enlightenment.

She felt deeply that assembly-line farming can’t save the Immortal Realm; she has to go onto the battlefield, only blood can save the Immortal Realm!

So she prepared to enlist.

To bleed and sweat for our Immortal Realm, to pay with her life, to drive those invaders mercilessly out of the Immortal Realm!

"So that’s your enlistment declaration?"

The early-period True Immortal in charge of recruiting Cultivators listened to Mu Xi’s impassioned speech. "Go wait in the back, and await our notice."

Mu Xi: "..."

Something’s off. According to the conscription history of the Immortal Realm she knew, wasn’t the Immortal Realm constantly short on soldiers?

Why are they so lukewarm towards her.

She soon understood why.

She saw a Cultivator in line behind her, face twisted, wailing:

"Yes! I’m enlisting! Not for the Immortal Realm—you Immortal Realm people ruined my family! I hate you, but I’m still joining the army to fight!"

"My mother turned into a Pseudo-human, my father enlisted to avenge her, and seven days ago he died at the hands of those invaders—you only sent back a corpse."

"My big brother also died three days ago on the southern battlefield for revenge, and now I too must get revenge!"

As he spoke, three parts hatred, two parts sorrow, and one part anger flashed in his eyes... his expression was endlessly complex.

Mu Xi stared, dumbstruck.

Turns out these guys all do the ’family-died’ routine, one after another seeking revenge, performing with deep emotions.

Mu Xi ducked away in the distance, her mind blank.

Now even enlisting in the army is this competitive?

At that moment, the Food God next to her also leaned over:

"You’re Mu Xi, right? I think you should go buy a few Illusion Realm Golden Cores, like ’Actor’s Self-Cultivation’, ’Common Family Death and Military Entry Patterns’, ’Thirty-Seven Reasons Why I Hate Pseudo-Human’, ’Seven Natural Ways to Die on the Battlefield for Insurance Fraud’..."

Mu Xi felt things were getting more and more off.

Soon, Mu Xi still ended up on the battlefield, with both sides engaged in localized warfare.

Those other Outer Domain Civilizations were outside pinning down the Immortal Venerates; next up was the battlefield of True Immortal and Celestial Immortal Cultivators.

"Charge!"

"Kill!"

Mu Xi stiffly shouted along, reappearing on that bloody battlefield where artillery fire filled the sky.

The mercenary army known as the Fourth Heavenly Calamity was gradually beginning to spread through the Immortal Realm, turning into bizarre rumors like urban legends.
