Chapter 830: Chapter 310: Flag Mode, Paru Babies Everywhere

Next, Ning Zheng, usually a layabout, once again took a tour around the manor, observing each uniquely styled and beautiful building.

"Training and upgrade rooms, job transfer square hall, and Qi Fortune card draws with guaranteed rewards are increasingly resembling the games we talk about."

"How long has it been since I last visited the manor? But indeed, with a cultivator’s building speed, they can construct a building in just a few hours with 24/7 work."

Ning Zheng found that they are truly obsessed with the [game].

A unique compulsion exists to turn this Otherworld reality into the world in their minds.

The following afternoon.

He walked through the towering blacksmith buildings, the Hairpin Lady Tower building, Spirit Farmer area terraces, Alchemy Room building.

And the newly established Divine Statue Professional Square, Alchemy Room, and Bronze Statue Warehouse assembly line.

Now.

The Golden Mud Warehouse Assembly Workshop is five stories tall!

It is equipped with Nine Chapters of Zhuang Ling, and a heap of logical cycle Ember workers performing 24-hour assembly.

Additionally, it is equipped with mechanical carts for transporting goods between floors.

And each mechanical cart’s artifact spirit is undoubtedly Ember blacksmiths.

Even the elevator of the workshop building is imbued with an Ember artifact spirit from a blacksmith.

Of course.

Each mechanical device has a slot to insert a Soul-Calling Banner, which is what they refer to as the [Human Emperor Banner], containing Ember blacksmiths.

Yes.

Now their [Human Emperor Banners] can be inserted into any manor’s magical artifacts, even the lamps along the road, granting intelligence to the artifacts.

The manor has a thousand living blacksmiths, totaling over ten thousand people; over ten thousand of these embers have been transformed into little colorful flags using the latest technology.

Along the way, Ning Zheng saw many carts, transport vehicles, doll figurines adorned with flags swaying in the wind, busy at work.

Even rushing to the bulletin board to pick up tasks.

Moreover, those dolls are quite interesting.

Like passing by Ning Zheng, this Ember with a flag on its head lit up the eyes of this Ember doll.

On the eyes are golden mysterious characters that elegantly move:

[Shrimp Catcher, Upper String Six]

Even numbers are assigned to their Paru babies, fearing others might not recognize them.

Ning Zheng really can’t tell whether this Sword Casting Manor is a mechanized manor or a haunted manor wearing a mechanized skin.

But one cannot deny the fact.

The Sword Casting Manor can now automatically produce various standardized low-end weapons, much different from before.

As the blacksmiths say, it’s an era where the Immortal Cultivation Realm no longer uses traditional manual forging.

Automation, assembly line, 24-hour operation.

These are Ning Zheng’s impressions after traveling around the newly constructed workshop buildings.

Clearly, Paru babies are everywhere, helping them with work!

"Sword Casting Manor has now truly gotten on track, possessing a unique order."

Along the way, he greeted blacksmiths in various areas; upon seeing Ning Zheng’s arrival, the blacksmiths hid in the shadows to chat.

"Wow, am I dizzy?"

"The old manager has actually come, moved to tears."

"Speaking of which, when was the last time the old manager came to inspect?"

"Pukidaw." (slang for "unknown")

"I almost forgot our Sword Casting Manor has an official NPC, an old village chief; I thought it was entirely a self-sustaining farming game."

"If inspecting each professional area, hasn’t it been several months since the last visit?"

...

Ning Zheng felt slightly embarrassed.

Indeed, he hasn’t inspected various posts for quite a while, usually just visiting the management office to issue tasks to Jiucai Rong and then descending the mountain.

He silently felt guilty for slacking off for two or three seconds.

But this is based on them having fun themselves; for example, he recently got into [Daoist], [Feng Shui Master], and other professions.

Furthermore, they aren’t disconnected from external NPCs, often visiting Bone Demon Royal City, Xirong Academy to accept tasks, right?

After walking around, Ning Zheng sighed with emotion as the time reached dusk.

He rarely had the "heart" to join them for a bonfire dinner at the square, watching them dance and sing, sitting together eating kebabs.

Although the manor’s buildings and scenery keep changing, the nightly bonfire event in the square remains unchanged.

Standing on stage, Lin Meimei, feverishly waving a microphone, shouted: "I want to dedicate this next song to my beloved old manager!"

"The vast horizons are my love, the flowers bloom beneath the endless green mountains!~~"

KTV mic superstar emerges, shaking the manor with sound.

The lively bonfire party approached seven o’clock, everyone was very happy and ready to log off.

Before leaving, Ning Zheng reminded Jiucai Rong:

"We can not rush to update the mask; although the mask is the foundational practice of our blacksmiths, it’s not urgently needed for the short term."

"We can first update the spiritual root of the golden mud, which can better assist the other side."

Jiucai Rong paused, "I understand, updating golden mud can also increase our warehouse capacity; I will discuss it with them."

...

Next morning.

After a brief leisure, the manor’s blacksmiths resumed their own internal competition and continued working diligently.

Perhaps because Ning Zheng conducted a grassroots inspection yesterday and motivated the blacksmiths, they resumed their efforts in researching the gold attribute Golden Mud Spiritual Root.

And today’s tenth Golden Mud statue warehouse had started to be put into use.

Boom!

In the manor’s square, a golden figure was swept into space turbulence, disappearing without a trace.

[Current stored Qi Fortune Value: 520 million]

[Current daily harvested Qi Fortune Value: 110 million]

Daily Qi Fortune Value, successfully breaks one billion!

Yet another beautiful day, Ning Zheng pushed open the window, looking at the sun in the sky...

Wait, it’s not dawn yet, and the sun has indulged in sleeping in again today.

"This life is really delightful."

Ning Zheng has already experienced the joy within it, his heart gradually becoming resolute.

He must help the Night Emperor eliminate the crisis.

In this period, feeling the thrill of daily skyrocketing profits, due to the otherworldly adventure team’s led transformational shifts in the manor blacksmith civilization...

He can never return.

If the Night Emperor is defeated and loses his domain, he would also return to his former days, back to daily earnings of over two million, which Ning Zheng cannot tolerate.

"To win now, there are two ways."

"First, accelerate the construction of the National Guardian Divine Artifact on that side, which we can’t assist much, the only help is to optimize the Golden Mud version, enabling him to create better Divine Artifact embryos."

"Second, I need to grow stronger myself, until the day I can personally descend into the other world to lend a hand...a newly breakthrough Immortal, isn’t without possibility!"

Honestly speaking.

Ning Zheng has been stuck in the One Heart Six Apertures Realm for a month now.

It’s the first time his cultivation speed is so slow, not breaking through one realm in a month, similar to a snail’s pace.

Fundamentally, it’s due to the Five Elements Spiritual Root not being optimized well.

Ning Zheng now plans to first optimize one of the Five Elements Spiritual Roots, plant the first one first!

Masked "All Saints Form" at 2.9 billion, he hasn’t thought about it for now.

After all, it still requires optimizing several versions to reach the limit.

His current focus is on Golden Mud, after all, this thing has been optimized through several versions, approaching limit.

Several versions were optimized by the blacksmiths themselves.

Several versions were naturally mutated and optimized by the group of natives from Otherworld, then transmitted back by the Night Emperor on the other side, letting the blacksmiths breed new Golden Mud according to this.

Although.

The version transmitted from Otherworld, didn’t expand the Golden Mud’s capacity, but other functions like absorption speed, utilization efficiency, fighting style... have improved.

It transformed Ning Zheng’s mere storage warehouse into a versatile Divine Techniques.

Ning Zheng pondered:

"This Golden Mud...was originally synthesized using my Golden Turtle, Money Child, and part of my blood and flesh...even some remnants of the Chronicles of Time, in the Yin Yang Creation Furnace, belonging to the mutated Divine Techniques of the leading bronze statue among the Four Great Divine Beasts."

"Within it is my blood and flesh, it inherently has a certain degree of compatibility with me."

"It can be used as my first Five Elements Spiritual Root, placed inside the body."

Currently Ning Zheng, with a Yin Yang Cycle inside, yet unable to establish a second Five Elements Cycle.

Because a cycle cannot be a rootless duckweed, it must have a body-anchored point!

Forcibly implanting the first Five Elements type Spiritual Root, only then can use this anchoring point to build a Five Elements Cycle.

Ning Zheng’s anchoring point begins with Golden Mud, this Gold Attribute Spiritual Root.

After all.

Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, originally start with Metal.

"However, Xin Xichen clearly withheld a hand, teaching cultivators of the Five Elements Spiritual Root to establish the Five Elements Cycle, yet not teaching how to plant the initial anchoring point of the second Spiritual Root cycle."

"But it doesn’t matter."

"I spend the money myself."

A number appeared in Ning Zheng’s mind.

[Enlightenment: Inner Fire and Demonic, body collapse! Four viscera shattered! Meridian collision! Three flowers confused! Two phases exploded! Resulting from disaster, opens the second cycle anchoring point for Spiritual Root, 300 million Qi Fortune Value.]

million is acceptable for Ning Zheng.

Though after this wave, the Dharma Aspect might suffer serious injuries, the Three Flowers may be picked once, and must recover anew.

After all, such a barbaric and primitive pure luck method, forcing to break through bottlenecks, the side effects are naturally not small.

"Let’s go!"

Ning Zheng took a deep breath and began his retreat.

His body erupted into chaos, fire and demonic began!

A chaotic, violent aura flooded through the meridians, circulating throughout his body.

Three days later, Ning Zheng opened his eyes again, his body covered in wounds, constantly bleeding, revealing a slight smile:

"Success! The cutting-in point for the second cycle of Five Elements Spiritual Root has appeared."
