Chapter 1061 - 148: The Painter Is a Sinner
Ning Zheng patrolled around the various shelves, "Keep a close eye lately, don’t let certain people slip things in."
"Don’t worry."
Jiucai Rong had a sincere look on his face, "Our new version of the scanning immortal artifact, thanks to that batch of blacksmiths led by Daojiu, living off women, had the female blacksmiths help craft this kind of immortal artifact."
Ning Zheng chuckled, you guys really know how to live off women.
Nowadays, the manor is in a state of disrepair, thanks to those two batches of dedicated ’friends,’ our manor’s techniques barely keep up with the average sect standards of the Immortal Realm.
Finally breaking away from the scope of mortal civilian use.
However.
My own Sword Casting Manor is becoming more and more off-kilter.
Originally, this group of guys was all about calling people dad, recognizing adoptive fathers, and connecting with the three Blood Separation Flower ancestors, various networking...
Later on, examples like True Immortal Momei are too many to mention.
And now.
They’ve entirely skipped over the stage of calling people dad, and have stepped into the era of living off their wives?
This group of folks really knows how to play the game!
Letting you guys play this game for free was a huge loss.
However, as a now-experienced online game planner, Ning Zheng is no longer who he was, knowing better how to squeeze these players.
From afar, blacksmiths come and go.
"This one goes into warehouse number one."
"The Eye of Identification shows this stuff should be categorized in warehouse seven."
"Ah, today’s daily tasks are a bit cumbersome."
"The joy of unboxing, it’s an enjoyment, you get it?"
Then, the blacksmiths neatly organized the items on various shelves, storing over thirty warehouses worth of materials, marking a preliminary completion of inventory.
As for identifying these materials?
No need!
Having just switched to the new map of the Immortal Realm, the blacksmiths can’t recognize the Immortal Realm’s produce, better to let the artificial ’Zhuangling’ of Nine Chapters scan and batch identify them.
Working overnight until the next morning, the warehouse organization was finally complete.
As for why there were blacksmiths still around at night?
These are all Embers.
But these Ember blacksmiths, including Ember Jiucai Rong, still felt like they were playing a game, diligently taking on tasks and working.
...
Morning.
The first ray of sunshine spilled through the steward’s window.
From the plaza outside came the chirping sounds of real living blacksmiths logging in.
Last night, they were crazily summarizing experiences on the ’forum,’ a group of people frantically discussing tactics on how to fight, how to kill bosses.
This counted as their first expedition to the Immortal Realm, a trial run to hone their skills.
Each blacksmith constantly summarized gains and losses.
Although the Fourth Calamity is currently obscure in the Immortal Realm, you must eat one bite at a time.
Leveling up must be done step by step!
How many days have they been in the Immortal Realm now?
Taking down two True Immortal sects in one day was already a substantial improvement.
In the future, when the Fourth Calamity’s Xirong Army sweeps across the Immortal Realm, causing the Immortal Venerates to be apprehensive, is that far off?
However, after logging in, each blacksmith was full of curiosity, going to check out the warehouse.
"Wow, our Ember blacksmiths were crazily organizing last night, so impressive."
"Well, this game, a hang-up function is essential, otherwise it’s too grindy, can you play it?"
"Unfortunately, it’s not unique to us anymore, the Immortal Realm also needs to have a hang-up embers function, really a bargain for them."
"Yeah, the people of the Immortal Realm becoming Sticky Corpse Odor Cave-dwellers, not respecting the elderly and cherishing the young, that’s a big win for them."
"Tsk tsk, I can’t imagine how much they’ll earn in the future!"
"Anyway, my Jiucai Rong’s Treasure Lotus Lamp, Human Emperor Banner, will definitely earn big in the future, converting a group of Immortal Realm friends to my Western Heaven Bliss World."
"Jiucai Rong, your style, neither Eastern nor Western, leaves people speechless."
...
The Fourth Calamity’s first battle in the Immortal Realm really thrilled them.
Although it appeared to be just two True Immortals, still led and executed by Jiumu Qing, Ning Zheng didn’t even go, but this is the future combat mode.
Soldier versus soldier, general versus general.
Our big shots contain the enemy’s big shots, this is how battles of extraordinary civilizations are originally fought.
Ning Zheng ignored the commotion, sitting on a chair reviewing reports, with a calm face, unfazed:
"With over ten billion Upper Grade Immortal Stones worth of materials, our foundation has skyrocketed, and the Sword Casting Manor already compares to the typical True Immortal Sect’s accumulation."
"However, over three hundred marketplaces, plus two True Immortal sects, and only get resources worth over ten billion Upper Grade Immortal Stones?"
Still not enough!
Ning Zheng feels, maybe some were preemptively transferred away by those painters.
Painters, those people, really lack virtue, didn’t they promise to make us rich.
"In the end, it’s just about getting a bit of the broth after the big players have eaten the meat. Those Immortal Venerates of the Outer Domain hold back the thirteen giants of the Immortal Realm, won’t their True Immortals take the chance to loot?"
"Surely they can’t be expected to hold off the Immortal Venerates without charge, doing free labor for us."
Ning Zheng is clear-headed enough and hasn’t let emotions cloud his judgment.
How much resources have the thirteen giant Immortal Venerates amassed over the years?
Not to mention the dividends collected from marketplaces across the Immortal Realm and the shelter provided by the [Immortal Realm Business Alliance], just the rampant branching out of their various subordinate disciples.
They establish one affiliated sect after another, one power, one marketplace, infiltrating everywhere.
The two True Immortal sects we attacked in Wood Stronghold Sect were both small branches of the Immortal Venerate’s True Immortal disciples split off a million years ago.
This wave before us...
Though it wasn’t exactly like the fall of a whale giving life to all things.
But this wave indeed fattened many True Immortals, each one robbing in disguise.
Even those Immortal Venerate civilizations from the outer domain got the biggest slice of meat.
Of course, for those calculating behind the scenes against the Immortal Realm, the greatest profit isn’t the looted resources.
Because a day of turmoil in the Immortal Realm only brings a slight ache to the Immortal Venerates.
In reality, the biggest issue is: breaking the undefeated golden body of the thirteen civilizations’ Immortal Venerates.
Letting people know, they can be injured, they can suffer losses, they can die.
The Immortal Realm isn’t invincible.
Next, the instability of people’s hearts is the real issue for the giants of the Immortal Realm.
Of course.
This has nothing to do with Ning Zheng.
He just lies low, and when a fight breaks out, it’s best - what level is he? Without fishing in troubled waters, how can he take off?
And it’s all thanks to his ascension with the painter, this behind-the-scenes hand causing chaos, making it convenient for Ning Zheng to rise in the Immortal Realm.
Otherwise, without the painter, with the Immortal Realm steady and safe, he wouldn’t be able to make quick money.
From this aspect, the painter is a great virtuous teacher to the countless blacksmiths of our "Sword Casting Manor."
Now with this chaos, I reckon ancestral tombs might soon appear everywhere.
The environment of the Immortal Realm will undergo a drastic change, with graves everywhere, the dead resurrecting.
At first, the common people will even be joyous, excited.
Because a 50% probability of resurrection of the old fathers and mothers at home to live a second life, anyone would be happy.
But afterwards...
Looking at the history of the Nine-State, those who understand know, from the carnival eternal life virus to the fear of the eternal life virus.
And the top cultivators of the Immortal Realm have long been aware, yet it’s hard to stop the spread.
"Forget it, things feel chaotic, better to gather some more realm."
Ning Zheng, with money in his pocket, feels itchy.
Made money, shouldn’t he spend it?
Yesterday, over three hundred Dharma Aspects worked so hard, it was the busiest day of Ning Zheng’s life, shouldn’t he reward himself?
He plans to celebrate a bit, go for a wave of Celestial Immortal Great Perfection, else with all True Immortal clients, it’s a bit tricky!
Especially, our "Sword Casting Manor" might open "Celestial Destiny Village Chongshan Branch" to that previous batch of True Immortal members, they’ll know the truth.
He needs more power.
He switched Dharma Aspects, leaving two Dharma Aspects to keep an eye on Sword Casting Manor’s sorting workers and Chongshan Town’s new Celestial Destiny Village, then went to his cave mansion to cultivate.
Arrived at the cave mansion in the time acceleration zone.
The whole region seems as if it has undergone a great battle, becoming quite desolate, a group of cultivators repairing structures back and forth.
Looks like...
Previously, that beautiful front desk who rolled her eyes at Ning Zheng has already met with an incident.
This beautiful Embers front desk is still maintaining the logic from her life, continuing her service.
Ning Zheng suddenly feels a bit unsettled:
"The Immortal Realm, just in a little more than a day, has already researched the ability to root into the Earth Vein, how unsurprising."
"Just, didn’t they also discover a whole new business model? Embers service staff, these Immortal Realm giants Immortal Venerates, earned from him."
This wave, the painter probably lost blood!
Just this batch of True Immortals from Ning Zheng, the money from one day’s sneak attack and looting might be covered by the Immortal Venerates using these free workers within a century.
Various marketplace chain stores, free laborers, working 24 hours...
Hiss!
Ning Zheng takes a sharp breath, thinking he made the Immortal Venerates suffer enough to sit on Immortal Ships, but actually, the Immortal Venerates are just waiting for you to spread viruses everywhere, providing them with a batch of free 24/7 workers?
He suddenly thought of the Immortal Vein Domain, will there still be hiring miners later?
Embers miners, wouldn’t they rapidly appear?
Future new Immortals ascending to the Immortal Realm will have no mining employment benefits!
"The painter, seeming to pit the Immortal Venerates, actually those Immortal Venerates are hastening the oppression of the common people, digging into newcomers’ rising channels!"
Ning Zheng feels the painter is a sinner.
