"We'll probably reach seven thousand Qi Fortune Value tomorrow."

The next day, Ning Zheng got up very early.

He found that this period had been exceedingly leisurely and carefree.

This is exactly the kind of life he's always wished for.

After the River Demon incident, the ancestor worship event, and the manor defense battle, finally came a long-awaited peace.

For him, calmly cultivating and becoming stronger is indeed the best.

Counting carefully, there have actually been only two events recently.

1. The red-clothed sister's elder Paper House strategy.

2. The Zhang Family's Red Sun Alliance invitation.

To Ning Zheng, the duration of the Paper House elder's strategy doesn't matter; no need to be too concerned.

As for the Zhang Family? Red Sun?

The blacksmiths had hinted before, and Ning Zheng's answer to them was:

Refusal!

He doesn't have the ability to meddle in the city's troubled waters.

Ning Zheng routinely checked the forum.

It's gotten more lively, but several key blacksmiths have gone to the so-called professional chat group.

Their remarks aren't open for prying eyes, making it a bit difficult to monitor their movements.

After breakfast.

Ning Zheng received a message from Zhang Huaping, given the timing it's about time to secure the next batch of goods.

He didn't go up the mountain but directly opened the Teleportation Array remotely using a token at the foot of the mountain.

I believe Zhang Huaping and the blacksmiths are now proficient in trading, and there shouldn't be any hiccups.

...

Sword Casting Manor.

Zhang Huaping entered the Teleportation Array and adeptly walked into the manor.

Even though she had been here countless times, she couldn't help but marvel at the constantly evolving buildings and surroundings.

It's practically a change every few days.

This is the most psychologically twisted and bizarre Demon Cultivator she has ever seen in her life, yet the most diligent and unpredictable.

Zhang Huaping suddenly paused in front of a very unique building.

She faintly heard screaming inside, "Murder!" "Help!" "Someone save me."

Her heart skipped a beat, "What's inside?"

In reality, since that day, small groups of Ash Disaster have continuously attacked the inn.

However, they weren't as ferocious as Scholar Li.

The numbers weren't as large, some went up the mountain alone, while others went in groups of three or four.

Most of them are ordinary disaster ghosts, not professionals.

This card pool has lately been flushed with trash cards, and they're powerless about it.

"That's the inn."

Jiucai Rong spoke vaguely, "Some guests are playing inside."

Zhang Huaping listened to the cries but wasn't curious to investigate, following Jiucai Rong forward.

"This batch of painting cards has a thousand blind boxes."

Jiucai Rong led Zhang Huaping to the warehouse, "Fifty weapon blind boxes."

"No problem."

Zhang Huaping nodded, counting the quantities.

The blind boxes, based on different series, contain between 2 to 10 painting cards inside.

This batch of a thousand painting card blind boxes contains over five thousand painting cards.

The painting card sells for about 25 Magic Coins, with a profit margin of 10 Magic Coins.

Just these five thousand painting cards alone yield over fifty thousand Magic Coins in profit!

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as a windfall.

And the most crucial part is that there's no risk of market saturation; the market can absorb as much as there is.

How can the neighboring family not be envious?

After the handover.

Zhang Huaping saw there was nothing else and left directly.

"We've struck it rich."

Jiucai Rong excitedly grasped the manager's exclusive Storage Bag, filled heavily with Magic Coins.

"Come on, let's split the earnings."

Jiucai Rong chuckled as he spoke.

Currently, materials from one Enchanter can create 10 to 30 painting cards using forging technology.

Profit is 10 Magic Coins, meaning one life can yield profits of 100 to 300 Magic Coins.

"And split half with the blacksmiths, so one Enchanter life is now worth 50 to 150 Magic Coins."

"Totally blood profiting."

"Absolutely, absolutely."

Everyone's faces were filled with smiles.

Su Yuniang smiled so broadly her mouth slanted, "Even when I died five times, it only cost 50 Magic Coins in total, yet I earned several hundred Magic Coins over those five times."

Shao Chaikun also worked as an Enchanter: "Exactly, once individual deaths exceed fifteen times, resurrection costs reach 150 Magic Coins, then painting cards start to officially become unprofitable, but dying such high numbers we have already researched more advanced Magical Artifacts."

...

The joy of earning big money through hard work is the most unforgettable.

Now, the entire manor is immersed in the sweet dreams of becoming wealthy.

With this amount of money, various loans could be repaid.

Even most of the blacksmiths would have surplus of ten to twenty Magic Coins.

Some have already saved up to fifty Magic Coins.

This is enough to use a Continuing Ash Talisman or buy Netherworld Coins that enhance Ember probability, trying a one-in-ten chance!

After Zhang Huaping left, everyone felt extremely happy.

Just then, the Communication Token held by Medical Fairy suddenly rang.

"It's me." Sword Fairy's voice came through.

"What's happened?" Medical Fairy curiously asked.

The surrounding blacksmiths also gathered around, wondering if Sword Fairy was going to tell another adventurous tale today.

"Last night, we disguised ourselves as Demon Cultivators and entered Pingchang City, fought a battle... but that's not important! There's something I need to tell you."

Sword Fairy thought for a moment and then conveyed Gui Pu's message.

After listening, everyone was stunned.

Medical Fairy shouted, "What, family assets, shops, and various resources, we can make requests??"

This is one of the top three families in Pingchang City.

Over the millennia, the accumulated wealth must be beyond imagination.

When someone has nowhere else to turn, it's obviously: hurry up and exploit me, I can't wait anymore!

This is a fat sheep delivered right to the door.

Unfortunately, they're not the Lord of the Manor, they can't answer, nor can they help solve this crisis.

"Can we ask how much this wealthy patron's fortune amounts to?" Su Yuniang suddenly said.

"I'm not clear either."

The Sword Fairy thought for a moment, "Lately, a lot of foundation has been consumed, so there might not be much left. Various treasures and resources, converted, might be around 8 million Magic Coins or more?"

Holy crap!

Holy crap!

The crowd listened with their hearts pounding.

This is when their family fortune is nearly depleted.

If it weren't depleted, it would probably be worth tens of millions of Magic Coins.

Such temptation placed before these blacksmiths is simply irresistible.

The dozen or so Magic Coins they just earned suddenly didn't feel worth it anymore.

"I really want to agree on behalf of the Lord of the Manor."

Shao Chaikun was feeling hopeless.

But they all knew, the old steward had said before that he wouldn't help the Zhang Family.

"Is this mission reward just to make us envious? I admit it, I'm jealous! Family!" Jiucai Rong shook his head, though in reality, he was more envious than everyone else.

This is equivalent to a level 50 monster map.

This group of newbies at just a few levels, can they get involved?

It would surely result in broken bones!

Besides, they couldn't get out either.

But Su Yuniang, with her always big imagination, declared with certainty: "Brothers, it's impossible for the game to have a useless storyline, every story serves the main plot."

Daojiu suddenly said: "And then? Are you saying we have a way to complete this hell-level difficulty instance? We can help the Zhang Family?"

"Are you suggesting that we persuade the Manor Master?"

Jiucai Rong started to ponder, analyzing the storyline: "But we've never met the Manor Master, how could their decision be influenced by us?"

Su Yuniang analyzed based on her years of gaming experience:

"No, the Manor Master is probably still just a background character, they might not appear in the early stages!"

"The old steward also clearly said they wouldn't help the Zhang Family, yet the Zhang Family's plea storyline still got triggered."

"So, is there a possibility that, instead of the Manor Master helping, the storyline is for us little blacksmiths... to help the Zhang Family through tough times?"

The crowd looked at her as if she were crazy.

But Su Yuniang continued to plunge into deep thought:

"How can we help? Combat certainly isn't an option; the way we help has to revolve around our main storyline!"

"What's our main storyline? The blacksmith shop! Forging! We help the Zhang Family by forging weapons."

"That makes sense, but our blacksmith shop has only been open for less than a month." The Sword Fairy mused, "To forge a supreme divine weapon that sweeps Pingchang City is a Long Aotian script, isn't that a bit far-fetched."

Implying that their weapon-forging skills are too poor.

And the Sword Fairy was held by others, being forged by more advanced blacksmiths.

They were researching high-tier magical artifacts of the Three Elements Realm!

How could these small-time blacksmiths interfere?

Our Painting Card and Goosegrass, both are low-tier magical artifacts, used by the Five-Body Realm.

But Su Yuniang, with her broad imagination, didn't think that way:

"No, it's not about what you think, it's about what I think!"

"There are things these advanced blacksmiths can't do that only we can: Embers, if we offer services, improve, and upgrade the Artifact Spirit—what about the Sword Fairy?"

Su Yuniang's eyes gradually brightened as she suddenly remembered yesterday's opening ceremony of the Spiritual Root cultivation lab.

The Mudworker's words echoed in her mind like thunder.

"Blood Separation Flower Spiritual Root, Soul Separation Flower Spiritual Root, what happens when they merge? Mudworker, you mentioned this before, right?"

"I did." The Mudworker was puzzled.

Su Yuniang suddenly laughed brightly: "The Sword Fairy of the Blood Separation Flower, if merged with the Sword Fairy of the Soul Separation Flower, what happens when the soul bubbles of these two spiritual roots combine?"

The crowd was thunderstruck and stood dumbfounded for a long time.

Blood Separation Flower + Soul Separation Flower?

Merging?

The Sword Fairy of the Blood Separation Flower is at the Zhang Family blacksmith shop!

We don't have the Medical Fairy of the Soul Separation Flower...

But!

They have the lower rank of the Soul Separation Flower.

They all shuddered and silently turned to look at the Medical Fairy's other Ember: Money Lolita Doctor Assistant.

If remembered correctly, the first Spiritual Root the Medical Fairy opened was the Shadow Rice.

Amidst the shock, they suddenly heard a voice.

"Look, what is that?"

Su Yuniang suddenly pointed to the eaves.

Everyone followed her finger to look at the eaves.

A cold snap struck last night, a continuous night rain moistened the ground, and a crystal-clear water droplet hung from the eaves, like a soul bubble.

Drip.

Another droplet collided.

The two droplets slowly fused into a larger one.

Water droplets of the same rain can merge.

Can soul bubbles of the same person also merge?

This thought took root in their hearts.

In the entire history, this might have never happened.

For it's almost impossible for any person to die twice, let alone luckily produce two Embers after death.

They collectively eyed the Medical Fairy, like wolves.

The fusion of two soul bubbles.

This might be our unique baby upgrade system!

Embers Awakening is not the upgrade, fusion is our upgrade!

The Mudworker and other Spirit Farmers were visibly shocked with disbelief.

Jiucai Rong was thunderstruck and abruptly told the Sword Fairy in excitement, his breath becoming rapid:

"Quick! Quickly, I need to communicate with that Zhang Family administrator over there, I have a business deal of unprecedented magnitude here."

"We need materials, we need research sponsorship!"

He was so excited he couldn't contain himself, shouting:

"If this works, with the Yin-Yang Convergence, the fusion of the Soul Separation Flower and Blood Separation Flower bubbles, we might forge an absolutely unparalleled Demon Weapon across the entire Nine-State—a Supreme Divine Soldier—Sword Fairy!!"
