I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players

Chapter 978: Chapter 71: The Game, Scheming Against the Immortal Realm, Becoming Masterminds Together

After all, in the painter’s analysis, Xi Rong’s power has indeed collaborated with many people.

Jiu Shui, Xin Xichen, both have crafted weapons for them.

Xinyi Baisan, Doukou Hong, these forces have repeatedly collaborated in commerce.

As long as there is profit and suitable products, and convenience is provided, there is negotiation to be had.

Indeed, upon thinking further.

How is it possible for a commercial power not to cooperate with various forces?

Anyone can be a lone ranger, except for a commercial entity.

Reviewing the entire event once more, the painter can basically confirm that the other party came to the Nine-State for him personally.

To know that.

In order to prevent the outside world from discovering the anomalies of the Nine-State, he had controlled the surrounding worlds... making sure the news wouldn’t get out.

And made the surrounding worlds ordinary, deliberately appearing mediocre.

Thus, he could securely hide within the Ganges Sand-like All Heavens World, becoming a "black account."

Even if Immortals occasionally traveled, the surrounding world would form a barrier, detecting intruders immediately.

The Immortals under his control would personally attack and then "possess" the intruder.

The Nine-State is a black zone, a forbidden zone for Gods and Demons!

The Immortal Realm prohibits passage because low-level Immortals being captured while traveling prevents high-level Immortals from leaving easily.

But this Xi Rong, somehow caught a mistake of his, deliberately descended upon the Nine-State to establish a Xirong Manor...

This Xirong Manor, powerful and mysterious, can traverse many worlds.

It even uses a Wonderful Technique to summon a batch of Otherworld blacksmiths to serve, each with unique ideas, superb skills, fearless of death, consuming earth to jump into the furnace—a true marvel.

This "Sword Casting Manor" ... is feared to be an Immortal Venerable Supreme Treasure!

Not to mention if there is a living Immortal Venerate, at least it is a True Immortal power inheriting the legacy of an Immortal Venerate, undoubtedly targeting him from the start.

However, the other side previously engaged in commerce in the Nine-State, seemingly without malice, just neutrally profiting from the Nine-State, seemingly wanting to cooperate with him from the beginning...

Hence, he initiated this probe.

"Cooperation, what can you offer?" Ning Zheng softly spoke.

"My sincerity is naturally sufficient."

The painter calmly said: "Zhongluan Domain, descendant of the Wanluan Immortal Venerate, the grandson of the current True Immortal Sect Leader can vouch for your Golden Core endeavor."

"Perhaps within your Xi Rong, there are also advanced members, but it should be inconvenient to reveal their identities... I can provide an overt protection for you, how about it?"

Ning Zheng’s heart was stirred.

This guy, dealt with the grandson of a True Immortal? Replaced him with a painter?

Worthy of the Pseudo-human Calamity, ancient Pseudo-Human King, master of the Human God.

This person’s actions were terrifyingly swift! Fully efficient!

Moreover.

This is not an ordinary True Immortal grandson, but the grandson of an Immortal Venerate power’s current True Immortal Sect Leader, truly a super Second Generation Immortal.

If a person of this rank speaks to protect the Golden Core industry, not only would it solve many troubles.

It could rapidly expand territories.

At the very least, under the power of this local Immortal Venerate, the expansion of the entire Zhongluan Domain, the establishment of widespread Golden Core businesses, would not just be a dream!

This is a super large Business Alliance, poised to rise in a very short time.

"Impressive." Ning Zheng smiled, "This sincerity is sufficient."

Like a timely rain, this allows unrestrained expansion for the foreseeable future.

His own Immortal Cultivation resources are basically secured.

The painter smiled faintly, saying:

"And this is merely the first preliminary cooperation."

"If further progress is smooth, the other twelve major domains... can also find protection, ensuring the Golden Core Business Alliance sails smoothly."

Ning Zheng suddenly envied this painter.

Pseudo-human Calamity, indeed starting to infiltrate everywhere, is the Immortal Realm filled with pseudo-humans?

The painter is a fierce, even brutal person, is he replicating the tactics of the Human God Era?

Gradually replacing the upper echelons of the Immortal Realm, ultimately penetrating the top, all pseudo-humans... are people going to start spreading the horror stories of the "Ancestral Human Biography"?

Ning Zheng suddenly realized: he really released a monster imprisoned from the Nine-State!

If not for himself... the painter would at least take a very, very long time to perfect this system, to revive, to emerge...

Perhaps without incident, it could remain as an Earth-bound Spirit, trapped forever.

But Ning Zheng didn’t feel worried.

With the emergence of a natural disaster, a caged beast unleashed, disaster sweeps the Immortal Realm; the ones to worry are the Immortal Venerates.

He is responsible for watching the spectacle, observing the painter, this peerless fierce man, causing chaos everywhere.

Instead, Ning Zheng is a bit interested in learning his pseudo-human possession technique.

But he couldn’t learn it himself; with his pseudo-human blacksmith’s possession, the original memory would be lost, the pseudo-human would be exposed instantly.

But the painter... could inherit most of the memories, now after becoming Immortal, it seems he had further perfected it, achieving flawlessness.

"Well then, happy cooperation." Ning Zheng raised his glass, "Hope the grandson of that True Immortal Sect Leader will act soon."

"Happy cooperation." The painter also smiled, looking at this Xirong Manor Master with an indescribable expression.

For him, this matter was quite interesting.

He indeed lacked resources and had many ways to plunder them.

But he still chose Golden Core as one of the ways to acquire resources.

Because he enjoyed witnessing, watching fascinating things rise.

After all.

Witnessing is what creates an eternal and exciting scroll, isn’t it?

He sighed softly, suddenly looking at Xin Xichen and others conducting an inspection on the street below, revealing a slight smile,

"The younger generation of the Nine-State has too many misconceptions about me. I never wanted to be some hidden hand behind the scenes. More than anything, I just want to be a witness, to see them grow."

"At times of necessity, I even help them. For instance, Xin Xichen, and even Jiu Shui, have received my benevolence in the past."

"I only want to paint more splendid portraits of them, to capture that moment in eternity."

"This is merely a painter’s desire to collect scrolls of paintings, yet the world misjudges me greatly."

Ning Zheng nodded, "So that’s it. You simply want better painting subjects, with no other demands, no ambition to rule the world, no craving for worldly power."

"Those who understand me, like Xi Rong, do!"

The painter’s smile was gentle,

"I am a good person, dreaming of painting in the countryside, enjoying serene years as a painter purely intent on creating art."

"At this moment, I only wish to do business with you, to earn some paint money after all, as you know, the materials for writing and painting are quite expensive."

Ning Zheng expressed understanding.

The painter continued smiling, "I have prepared brush and ink to pave the way for you, hoping Xi Rong can also journey forth with a unique story. I am here to witness all of it."

Ning Zheng suddenly asked, "How far do you think we, the Golden Core lineage, can go?"

"The Immortal Realm, the Fourteenth Domain, how about that?"

The painter suddenly spoke, "The Celestial Destiny World, forming its own domain while integrating into the Immortal Realm.... How does this scene, with Daoists as sovereigns, seem to you? Let’s start from this Golden Core, sweeping across the Immortal Realm’s business market as a beginning."

"Xi Rong, back then, quickly spread their business throughout the Nine-State, resounding across the Nine-State. Now, with such speed, it will fill the Immortal Realm, resounding through the Immortal Realm, so everyone knows your Sword Casting Manor... is an alchemy giant, and that’s the Righteous Path."

"Quite visionary," Ning Zheng laughed heartily.

"Speed is key; it showcases Xi Rong’s flair! Swiftly, to let the entire Immortal Realm have Golden Cores to consume."

The painter raised his cup, speaking lightly:

"Isn’t your craft the refinement of Sun and Moon? How do you feel about refining the sun of the Immortal Realm into a gigantic Golden Core, radiant with golden brilliance, continuously emitting medicinal power?"

Ning Zheng feigned hesitation, "This..."

The painter said, "I will provide plenty of umbrella protection, helping the Golden Core lineage to bloom everywhere, unimpeded. Later, when the Immortal Venerates also come to you for alchemy, see if you can refine a Sun Golden Core for them... that’ll depend on your skill."

"Can’t you, sir?"

This person’s manner of speaking increasingly carried a hint of a blacksmith’s disposition.

"How can a man admit defeat?" Ning Zheng raised his cup, smiling confidently, "Risking my life to accompany a gentleman!"

"Good!"

The painter laughed, "I’ll accompany you for a journey; just hope that when the time comes, you won’t retreat upon encountering the Immortal Venerate. This is to send you up for alchemy, to refine a round of Sun and Moon."

"Back then, refining Sun and Moon for Jiu Shui, now refining Sun and Moon for the Immortal Venerates."

"Using the Immortal Realm as a furnace to refine a Sun Golden Core, that scene will surely be resplendent, and just thinking about it compels me to paint it down."

Ning Zheng laughed heartily, "Why fear the Immortal Venerate? Fearing that by the time it provokes the Immortal Venerates’ wrath and jealousy of our Golden Core industry, they’d use heavy hands on us, the one afraid to back out should be you, sir."

"Hahaha, let’s see the future," the painter drank heartily.

If someone backed out now, wouldn’t it be said that they couldn’t cut it?

Their foundation isn’t enough; are they a paper tiger?

Yet the painter dared to be so bold.

How could Ning Zheng be afraid?

The Golden Core lineage, obviously, the painter wanted to propel it to become the Fourteenth Domain, one of the giants, as an attempt to cut the pie, but also to try being a trailblazer...

Now, the era is full of turmoil.

Recently, there emerged acceleration technology of a century in a day. An unprecedented big era is about to unfold in the Immortal Realm.

Countless civilizations want to probe the Immortal Realm.

And the painter, wanting to drive the Golden Core lineage to be the first civilization probing the Immortal Venerates...

Regardless of success or failure, as long as someone leads a rebellion first, even if suppressed, there will be others following suit.

He intends to stir a chaotic era and initiate it.

It can be the Golden Core...

It can also be the Silver Pill...

It also allows for making a little money on the side.

The painter just wants this giant wave of the Immortal Realm to strike, with gods and demons appearing, with wind and clouds surging, to seize the opportunity to create an "Immortal Realm Ukiyo-e," fulfilling his dream.

Similarly.

Ning Zheng is also unafraid of playing big with the painter.

Even if the Golden Core lineage fails, collapses, it’s merely abandoning this industry, yet Ning Zheng also believes that the Immortal Venerates can’t trace it back to him.

Ning Zheng, with over 20 billion Qi Fortune, was indeed wary of tracking.

But they would first track the "Sword Casting Manor" server.

This Immortal Venerable Supreme Treasure, now with Ning Zheng insanely investing money, 2 trillion Qi Fortune Value, the Immortal Venerable Supreme Treasure is at the highest level; are you afraid of being tracked?

And the painter, so arrogant, yet does not know what trump card he has, daring to believe that the Immortal Venerates couldn’t catch this hidden hand?

Dare to be so reckless?

Isn’t he courting death? Don’t blame the Golden Core for taking a huge fortune, and after the Immortal Venerates begin action, I’ll exit the stage and push you out as the scapegoat.

Making money while also taking down the painter is not a bad choice.

However.

At this moment, is the painter not thinking the same way?

Thinking what trump card does Xi Rong have, a mere Business Alliance being so audacious, truly daring to take his deal to push the Golden Core lineage, not afraid of the Immortal Venerates storming in?

This Xi Rong... truly spans the All Heavens, unfathomable?

Don’t blame me for pushing you out as the scapegoat.

The painter chuckled inwardly: Is this Xirong Manor Master truly well-founded, or is he exaggerating, it will soon be known, let’s see when pushing this Golden Core, whether the smiths under him will cower.

Though calling themselves a natural disaster, they might genuinely not be as combat-worthy in the Immortal Realm as the pseudo-human disaster under my command.
