I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players

Steward’s room.

"In the future, regarding this outlying world base of the Sword Casting Manor, various sects, most will be under your management."

Ning Zheng showed a look of relief:

"I believe you can help redevelop our Kong Country, you should also know, if that Immortal Venerate from Refining Cauldron Domain truly is another Jiumu Qing, getting discovered would definitely mean being targeted."

"Not to mention, there might be another me, a Kong Country heir, possibly becoming one of the thirteen Immortal Venerate giants."

Jiumu Qing nodded, she was indeed a bit scared.

Ning Zheng continued to speak ominously: "I’ve heard that the Immortal Venerate from Ten Thousand Beasts Domain gets along well with the one from Refining Cauldron Domain, it’s possible that the Immortal Venerate from Ten Thousand Beasts Domain is an alternate space-time version of me."

Jiumu Qing was shocked, "The Immortal Venerate from Ten Thousand Beasts Domain might be an alternate space-time version of you? That would be one of the top giants in the Immortal Realm."

"Only possibly, maybe things aren’t that bad," Ning Zheng continued to dangerously excite Jiumu Qing.

To deal with someone that stubborn, this is the way to do it.

First, I am the descendant of Kong Country, you submitting to me means recognizing your ancestors and returning to orthodoxy.

Otherwise, even if she were to die rather than obey, only the identity of a Kong Country descendant would make her grudgingly submit temporarily, still the rebellious kind...

Secondly.

Show that we’re in the same boat, the outside is dangerous, Immortal Venerate is targeting us... only then will she be willing to obey, to join forces.

This is Ning Zheng having refined her psychological grasp through countless resets.

Ning Zheng continued brewing fear:

"I’ve heard, the Immortal Venerate from Ten Thousand Beasts Domain has a very powerful perfect system of Beast Taming. Possibly another version of Jiumu Qing captured from a tomb."

Jiumu Qing feeling rattled from Ning Zheng’s combo strike, "It could truly be possible, if I am discovered, I might be enslaved as the second flawless system Beast Taming under Immortal Venerate."

She knows her own nature.

Cold and ruthless, heartless vicious, she would attack another self.

Under the previous world rules, in the myth era of the multiverse lines, everyone was the same individual, proving Multi-Dimensional True Immortal.

But now?

Now parallel space-time has collapsed, each ’me’ is independent, equivalent to one person’s Three Souls and Seven Spirits dispersing...

Each one is myself.

But many people detest having another self, disgusted upon encountering.

If given a chance to directly capture and use for various evil techniques, lock up as a substitute, or enslave as Beast Taming, all these are excellent choices.

Reconcile with oneself, support each other?

Some Immortal Venerates might truly do it, cultivate another self, but absolutely not her, Jiumu Qing.

Jiumu Qing, just wants to become stronger, and revive her mother...

And, she carries a backup of her mother, wanting to resurrect her not purely out of kinship, but also selfish motives.

If that Refining Cauldron Immortal Venerate really is another Jiumu Qing, they might already be researching how to resurrect the mother... not knowing if they’ve succeeded?

She took a deep breath, "Master, I understand."

Ning Zheng showed relief, "Good that you understand, we’re walking on thin ice, any mishap, even seeking death would be a luxury."

Seeing she had thoroughly pacified this Immortal Venerate cub, Ning Zheng began to speak gently, "Come, let me take you for a walk in Celestial Destiny Village underneath the mountain, hide your identity."

Ning Zheng took Jiumu Qing out of the steward’s room.

In the manor’s square, a group of blacksmiths dared not brag openly, hid in various buildings’ corners, windows, gaps, stealing glances.

"Whoa, the old steward took the boss out, what’s going on?"

"No clue, maybe it’s just a scripted CG, some foreshadowing?"

"Last night, Night Mad Cultivator posted on the forum saying that in the future, the Sword Casting Manor will definitely have a super big event—monster siege, is this woman surely the behind-the-scenes siege boss? How did she get caught and brought back then."

"Exactly, exactly, Food God, Shao Chaikun, both had their necks squeezed by this mysterious woman, crazily asking where her baby went, both Food God people swore the boss is surely going to attack the manor."

"Hahaha, must be directly blocked by the big shots, caught the boss intending to siege, hilarious!"

"I think the boss wants to use another method to strategize the old steward, why bother with sieges? Break through your heart gate!"

"Shh, do you want to die?"

...

Ning Zheng took Jiumu Qing around the square, under the secret observation of the blacksmiths, visited the Golden Core factories, painted a grand vision, spoke of the bright future of our Golden Core industry...

Then, they directly walked out through the mountain gate.

Jiumu Qing felt a bit speechless, remained silent for a long time, eventually squeezed out a sentence: "These people are quite lively."

"It’s alright, in the future you’ll all be colleagues," Ning Zheng said, "You must learn to handle them, frequently hanging lanterns to assert your authority."

"I’ll give it a try." Jiumu Qing was very courteous, "This Golden Core is indeed good, very promising, and my Jiumu Race, skilled in metals, can also help with improvements."

Ning Zheng was very satisfied.

No matter what ambitions she hides behind, as long as she obeys now, can be utilized... that’s enough.

Even if this compliant phase lasts only a month or two.

If she harbors ambitions later, engages in antics, simply reset, revert to this obedient phase.

She’ll always be obedient.

Honestly, since Ning Zheng discovered the [Shadow Embers Virus], able to root Shadow Embers in her shadow and resurrect, she has wanted to create a batch of obedient assistants.

Her Dharma Aspect Army being somewhat dull, procedural, many things not suited for them to handle.

Another angle of perspective.

Ning Zheng’s enemies are honestly pitiful, with a 50% chance of becoming Ning Zheng’s dog upon death...

Isn’t it even more delightful?

Truly super practical Divine Techniques pairing, coupled with her Shadow Crocodile Divine Technique for a better army.

Moreover... Ning Zheng thought of a brand new strategy.

Crash!

Threads densely woven covered Jiumu Qing’s body.

Woo woo woo!

In Jiumu Qing’s whimper and the look of humiliated anger, the threads lifted her into the air, binding like tortoiseshell.

With a multitude of threads woven densely, she eventually transformed into a knitted doll.

Additionally.

Her shadow revealed a deep black Shadow Crocodile, slowly floating and coiling.

"You, what did you do to me?"

Jiumu Qing’s heart trembled, feeling a fright, her Soul Bubble stuffed with numerous threads, mixed with the original Jiumu Metal.

"This is my gift to you."

Ning Zheng said blandly, "This Yang Doll body gives you an extra Armor layer, with a shadow hidden having Shadow Crocodile Dharma Aspect, possessing 50% of my combat power, you should know how strong of a Protective Talisman this is."

Jiumu Qing’s expression slightly changed.

Protective Talisman, sure a Protective Talisman, but it’s also the cage you’ve set for me.

Ning Zheng ignored her mood swings, only treating her as an experimental subject, and mused privately, "Embers itself can resurrect, unafraid of death...fusing with my doll army covering this Ember...it’s such a great combo."

"Only this Earth-bound Spirit can’t stray too far from my main body’s [Shadow Earth Vein], but for now it’s sufficient."

"She as a True Immortal level Earth-bound Spirit, can traverse back and forth within a world."

...

Disregarding Jiumu Qing’s resistance, Ning Zheng took her down the mountain path away from the manor.

This woven plush doll version of Jiumu Qing also began examining the woven materials packed in her Embers Void Bubble, alongside the shadow behind her.

She discovered.

She could actually harness a small portion of the shadow’s Dharma Aspect powers.

After experiencing Ning Zheng’s Dharma Aspect power, her heart extremely shaken: "The power he left in my shadow is stronger than my own, although he’s clearly a Celestial Immortal, even half the power of a clone is so terrifying."

Her expression completely changed.

Someone like her, ambitious by nature, only bows before power, respects mighty and domineering leaders.

She peered at the back of Ning Zheng walking ahead: "Is this the foundation of Kong Country, the strength of the successor revived post-great annihilation."
