No-Life Sect.
"Damn it, damn it, why are they chasing us all day long."
Wusui Mother took a deep breath. These years have been tough for them.
No-Life Sect was never skilled in Immortal Artifacts.
As a result, the entire Nine-State came to eavesdrop on their Communication Tokens, hearing everything they said, every casual conversation being intercepted.
The whole No-Life Sect almost faced destruction several times because of this.
Eventually, they were forced out of their potential and pushed to develop Immortal Artifact forging techniques, barely escaping surveillance.
Unfortunately, those unscrupulous Great Sects are still frantically besieging them in various ways, claiming to retrieve the Xirong Divine Craftsmanâs legacy for friends and reclaiming the inheritance.
Heartless Mother was furious beyond description.
Are you truly seeking justice??
Youâre just coveting the Xirong legacy!
"Xirong Divine Craftsman, times have changed! And to all the Divine Craftsman forces, I demand blood for blood!"
No-Life Mother was furious, looking at a certain girl at this moment:
"Weâve succeeded, youâve finally forged a Middle Grade Five-Cycle Immortal Artifact! Today, weâre the second inheritors of the Xirong Divine Craftsman legacy!"
She looked at a genius girl, No-Life Whale.
She was an extreme Demon Infant, even overlapping... with the Royal Dynastyâs baby from the founding era!
No-Life Sect loved infiltrating various sects.
Even within the Royal Family, some members were coaxed into becoming No-Life Sect followers.
Unfortunately, there was an incident back then, she was born an ordinary mortal, without the Royal Dynastyâs Firewood Spirit Root, possessing only the Xin Familyâs innate comprehensive intelligence.
She died as a mortal Ghost, older than Xin Xichen in years.
Now, after her death, she was planted with Xirongâs Shadow Crocodile Spiritual Root, over a hundred years, her cultivation wasnât very high.
But her forging skill was astonishing!
Furthermore, she developed the Xirong Divine Craftsmanâs spiritual root, researched various forging Divine Techniques, possessing functions of soul splitting and fusion, successfully creating many Immortal Artifacts.
They were keeping pace with the times!
However, in the end, they were just trying to move mountains with their arms.
Heartless Mother sighed, "Our Vice Sect Leader of No-Life Sect hasnât contacted us for ten years, weâve been pursued fiercely, and lost another batch of low-level followers, with quite a few turned into Ghosts."
"Sell to them again, itâs no big deal at low levels anyway."
Over the years, itâs been genuine manufacturer direct sales, without the middlemen earning the difference.
"Damn Xirong Divine Craftsman!" She felt heartache thinking about so many followers dying.
...
...
Ning Zheng didnât plan to cooperate with Doukou Hong immediately, instead continued hiding.
He dutifully develops the Manorâs basic business, handing over the information Sword Fairy gave to Jiucai Rong for them to digest and absorb.
And started busying himself with another matter:
Expanding the Manorâs territory.
The previous Manor was too small for travel purposes.
Ning Zheng planned to use the Protective Shield to cover the surrounding sea area, incorporating it into the Manorâs management map.
So it wouldnât just facilitate fishing, but also provide some Embers little blacksmiths opportunities to gather resources, swim, and venture out.
After all, the previous Sword Casting Manor and the Embers Adventurer Team went to the neighboring hill for gathering resources, enjoying wilderness foods, collecting wood.
Going to the nearby sea domain seems pretty good now.
"Wonderful."
"The map is expanded."
"Off to the sea."
"We can still fish."
In the Manorâs plaza, they were infinitely grateful.
Thus, the Manor began a busy and fulfilling time.
The little blacksmiths were familiarizing themselves with the new eraâs structure and experiences, even reading a New Era book "Basic Forging of Immortal Artifact" that Ning Zheng bought from Xinyi Continent.
[This book is published by Xirong Academy, Xirong Divine Craftsman is the founder of Immortal Artifact basic theory, and his principles involve Yin and Yang Soul Bubble...]
In the Blacksmith Shop, led by Daojiu, a group of blacksmiths watched engrossed.
"This is how our ideas were!!" Daojiu exclaimed in admiration.
"Weâve learned something." A blacksmith was overjoyed.
"Thereâs such forging technique?"
"With this method, we can forge some low-level Immortal Artifacts, such as Lower Grade + Lower Grade Spiritual Roots, possibly with considerable success rate."
"Truly worthy of being Xirong Divine Craftsman. Learning his techniques felt like enlightenment, in the future, our Blacksmith Shop can revolutionize its technology, we can already forge Immortal Artifacts!"
"Brothers, go for it, find random Lower Grade Immortal Spirit Roots for fusion, create an atlas, strive to produce a card from the New Era."
"But we donât have Pingchang City here anymore, how to sell?"
"Go to the Sea Raceâs cities, sell to them, find the Sea Raceâs âPingchang Cityâ."
"Damn, makes sense."
...
The Blacksmith Shop began to strive forward.
Cards have already been outdated with time, now Immortal Artifacts are popular.
They were ready to create some innovative Low Tier Immortal Artifacts, sell to nearby cities, and engage in interpersonal relationships, intrude into enemy territory.
In the meeting room.
This side was also adapting to the New Era, and setting various guidelines.
Jiucai Rong: "Heard that the Dragon Race is quite unfriendly toward our Xirong Divine Craftsman. Now weâve just fled to the seawater, our goal is to infiltrate the Dragon Race."
Night Mad Cultivator was flushed with anger: "Shameless! Just burned their ancestral grave, canât they be more tolerant? Are they not 1% wrong?"
Immortal Aunt: "Heh heh, who wouldâve thought that Xirong Divine Craftsman turned out to be a member of the Dragon Race, each like little dragon blacksmiths, weâll hide within the opposing forces, three years and another three, infiltrate enemy forces, become high rank, the Dragon Race Great Emperor will be us!"
Su Yuniang: "Isnât it Qilin Child, Human God Child? How did it become a Dragon?"
Medical Fairy: "You donât understand, Dragon Race Child will exist. We are the unity of Ten Thousand Races!"
Jiucai Rong: "Ahem, ahem, this is the general outline of the meeting this time, we are forging Low Tier Immortal Artifacts, starting to penetrate the market."
...
The Blacksmith Shop, meeting room, Spirit Farmer area, all are re-examining plans and quickly releasing various daily tasks.
New main goal: Dragon Race!
The Dragon Raceâs foundation isnât much weaker than the Human Race.
The Human Race controls the land of Nine-State, and the Dragon Race, alongside Qilin and other Divine Beast Races, govern the vast oceans beyond Nine-State.
Ning Zheng didnât bother with these excited small blacksmiths and their chatter, for they, despite their excitement... could only go hammer away, all being overconfident. Adapting to this era requires time.
He began his daily trips to Xinyi Continent City, observing the situation, adapting to the era, sipping some little wine, strolling, and looking around.
Then visiting Princess Xinâe occasionally, engaging in conversation with Sword Fairy about various matters.
This was when he understood, all these years, every ten years or so, thereâs been a procurement of No-Life Sectâs low-level female Ghost followers, combined with the increasingly high number of female Ghost deaths.
Theyâve acquired over fifty thousand of low-level female Ghost followers.
Ning Zheng was stunned.
What a big surprise!
This was naturally occurring female Ghosts.
If calculated, a few million followers might have already died.
Upon careful inquiry, it was revealed that a No-Life Sect headquarters town, smaller only than the State City, had been breached!
Close to a hundred million townâs citizens died.
No-Life Sectâs foundational strength was entirely eradicated, now only small forces remain, lurking in the shadows.
"So miserable?" Ning Zheng took a deep breath.
The Capital City is a huge living wall area, internally with various towns, mountains, and forests, Ning Zheng quickly controlled Princess Xinâe to arrive at a secret base.
He saw fifty thousand No-Life Sect followers.
Soon, a series of operations.
+100,000!
A staggering number surfaced.
Ning Zheng was delighted.
10,000 a day, 300,000 a month, it was an extraordinary number.
Of course, Ning Zheng, for safety, continued to spend 25,000 on daily Qi Fortune Value, leaving only 75,000.
Thus, adding the existing 25,000 daily Qi Fortune Value, Ning Zhengâs daily fortune had soared to 100,000.
This was the greatest surprise in a hundred years!
Qi Fortune Value also kept pace with the era.
"Well done." Ning Zheng looked at Sword Fairy, took a deep breath, "In this way, after accumulating for a few more days, we can begin to emerge."
