I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players

Jiucai Rong was immensely shocked upon hearing this. Such a grand gesture, asking us to film at the Immortal Venerate’s site? This is too outrageous! What have we done to deserve it?

Big shot, have you actually gone to steal the Immortal Venerable Supreme Treasure already!?

Our Manor Master is that ruthless? Perfectly embodying the core philosophy of a Tomb Raider?

It’s infuriating, going down into a dungeon alone. Why not take us tomb raiding? If we went to the Immortal Venerate’s Ancient Tomb, even a chunk of masonry would be torn down for you.

Guaranteed that we’d retrieve and recycle everything, leaving nothing behind.

Ning Zheng ignored Jiucai Rong’s face full of pained lament and said aloofly:

"The Manor Master has taken the Core Supreme Treasure, yet other parts of the Ancient Tomb still have some Treasures. If you have the ability, you may take them as well."

Jiucai Rong’s eyes flashed with excitement upon hearing this. "There are still things? The Manor Master is so benevolent, he doesn’t even care for the other Treasures aside from the Supreme Treasures of the Tomb Owner Immortal Venerate?"

Ning Zheng secretly scoffed in his heart.

It’s not that he doesn’t care, it’s that he can’t take them; he’d be chopped down once he steps out.

Nonetheless, enhancing the Manor Master’s mysteriousness and might is beneficial for the manor’s dominion.

Especially for those native players who come in; it can certainly awe them!

For instance, right now, the No-Life Whale, Xin’e Princess, and the Marriage Dress Town Master are hiding in the shadows with shocked expressions, filled with disbelief.

Could it be that the Manor Master of the Sword Casting Manor is truly that fierce?

It was thought that he was developing commerce in the Nine-State, at most having some ventures in other worlds, even the Immortal Realm.

Who would have thought this existence had long ventured into the Immortal Venerate’s Ancient Tomb?

Even with their lack of broad experience, they know that finding the Immortal Venerate’s Ancient Tomb is a challenge, and once found, only the prime and top-tier Immortal giants of the Immortal Realm have the courage to enter.

Ning Zheng chuckled softly, saying mildly: "Consider this your trial as well; hope you won’t disappoint the Manor Master’s good intentions."

Jiucai Rong immediately beamed with joy, "Don’t worry, old steward, leave it to us; we’re experts at this!"

Ning Zheng nodded with emphasis, "Then let’s send you over there."

With that, Ning Zheng activated login permissions.

Permitting them to log in at the main hall of the Tomb Owner, establishing a sub-branch of the Sword Casting Manor for new blacksmiths.

...

...

With a rustle.

The main hall from which Ning Zheng took the throne and space dagger carried a primitive and ancient tribal aura.

Inside a sci-fi resurrection room sent here, each person lay in a flesh vat, their flesh writhing, accompanied by mechanical magical-themed mechanical capsules emitting mechanical beeps.

[Welcome back, your clone number 125 has been successfully resurrected]

...

Similar ceremonial voices echoed within the mechanical capsules.

Soon after, the doors opened, and a group of blacksmiths emerged from the resurrection room.

As their feet stepped onto the earth-yellow mud bricks, a slight plume of dust rose.

"Seems like even within the Immortal Venerate’s Ancient Tomb, earthly dust accumulates."

"Kind of shatters the illusion. Isn’t it supposed to be ethereal and immaculate? Turns out even Immortal Venerates have to poop."

"Your logic possesses a surprising beauty."

A bunch of blacksmiths logged in, curiously observing their surroundings.

A few of the more superstitious blacksmiths took out some incense to burn, then extracted a Wooden Fish, "Ancient noble, no offense intended. If your undead see this, please forgive my intrusion upon your resting place."

Evidently, these blacksmiths knew their way around raiding dungeons.

Considering the nature of this game, it’s possible the undead of the Secret Realm Immortal Venerate are lurking, ready to eliminate these tomb-raiding offenders. Thus, they bow and apologize, hoping for no losses, might even trigger some hidden plot.

Seeing someone leading the prayer.

Those blacksmiths who believe in mysticism also began the tomb raiding startup ceremony.

Someone also took out a Wooden Fish, piously chanting: "Please, Senior Immortal Venerate, bless this expedition for smooth sailing and a bountiful tomb raid."

Another one retrieved the Treasure Lotus Lamp crafted at great expense by the Manor, mystically muttering, "People light candles, ghosts extinguish lamps. If Senior has no desire for disturbance, extinguish this lamp, and we shall depart after three bows and nine kowtows, never to disturb again."

That Treasure Lotus Lamp flickered gently, still shining brightly.

The lamp-holding blacksmith was jubilant, "Thank you, Senior, thank you, Senior. These riches aren’t brought to life nor taken in death. We will humbly inherit your legacy, and ensure future generations benefit from it!"

Even the native No-Life Whale and others came over, witnessing them showcase their Divine Techniques, starting the tomb raiding ceremony, they were deeply startled.

So, this is how they raid tombs?

It’s quite ceremonious.

No-Life Whale prepared to sneak-learn the technique, finding it quite sensible.

Regardless of whether there are the undead of the Tomb Owner, it’s prudent to use this move; it can only be advantageous.

Yet previously, these traditional Nine-State tomb raiders did not learn because in a tomb, there is certainly the undead of the Tomb Owner—Embers.

Unlike now, with uncertainty if the Tomb Owner lives, they conduct the ritual due diligence.

After a group prayer, discussions commenced.

"The place is quite expansive."

"The aesthetic is filled with charm; is this mural the Tao Rhyme left by Immortals? It’s stunning and capturing the Heart Mind."

"Don’t mess with it; if it’s damaged, how will we film?"

"Shall we invite the distinguished to come here, collect information on site, and construct an Illusion Realm?"

"Silly, we wouldn’t let them come here; this is our big secret!"

"Then what?"

"We’ll record it ourselves, gather resources, film, scan these ruins in 3D, and invite them to splice it together with our environment modeling."

"Oh, they have this trick!"

...

This palace isn’t large.

The blacksmiths could only temporarily erect a Resurrection Point, a small blacksmith shop, a tiny village square, and a small residential area.

Then a group of blacksmiths, arms over shoulders, exited, heading into the tunnel, preparing to explore this Immortal Venerate Secret Realm.

Without a doubt, the screen went black instantly, leading to immediate demise.

The blacksmiths fell victim to the First-Time Kill, not daring to risk their lives again, but instead deployed long-legged surveillance puppets, yet ended in an instant black screen.

They produced several plans in succession, eventually creating relatively static machine surveillance systems.

Only then did they succeed in seeing what was causing the slaughter in the dark corridor.

The slaughter emanated from the wall murals on either side of the corridor.

The murals depicted a snake with sharp, piercing wings.

When the snake detects movement, it immediately flies out to kill, then returns to its mural.

According to the blacksmiths, considering the ancientness of the tomb, there might not be any real living entities left inside.

This creature is likely either an Artifact Spirit of a Magical Artifact or a Puppet of a Technique.

"Guys, let’s think this through."

"Gosh, how did the Manor Master steal things? Not even the guards at the door were alerted, and he took the Core Immortal Venerate’s Treasure? Did he haul the corpse of the Immortal Venerate away?"

"That Immortal Venerate corpse is a major treasure; wouldn’t he haul it away for logging in? Award blacksmiths with top-up options, earning VIP15 exclusive character?"

"Your minds are getting crazier; do check into the infirmary, please."

"What do you know? It’s precisely going frequently to the infirmary that crazifies my brain."

"Nuts."

"Are we now reversing from the main tomb chamber to the tomb entrance?"

"Charge the Treasure Lotus Lamp once more."

"This Ancient Tomb holds worthwhile secrets, looking like a different system entirely, which is bound to bring explosive momentum to our manor."
