Chapter 1131 - 214: True Man Danding’s Shock—Is Xi Rong Truly the Celestial Destiny of This World?

Chapter 1131: Chapter 214: True Man Danding’s Shock—Is Xi Rong Truly the Celestial Destiny of This World?

Being stingy won’t lead to great achievements.

Ning Zheng agreed to give 10 billion upper-grade Immortal Stones to let True Man Danding complete this order.

Professional tasks should be handled by professionals.

Saving money and letting the blacksmiths develop it by themselves?

The blacksmiths would certainly beat their chests and guarantee success, but the results would remain questionable.

In fact, even if one were wealthy, without a connection with this person, it might not be possible to establish this link.

He had no way to modify these ten fortresses.

Circle, connections, foundation, are very important.

Otherwise, you’re just a nouveau riche.

After receiving order confirmation, True Man Danding’s face beamed with joy, looking at Jiucai Rong:

"I’ll give you a list of materials, and you gather them accordingly. Most are relatively common, and you can buy them in the Xirong Black Market."

"After all, the core of this fortress requires the High Tier material of a True Immortal cultivator’s body, which is relatively rare. Now, directly modifying it without the need for a high-grade Magical Treasure core saves a considerable amount of money."

She paused and continued to explain:

"Finding me proves that your force, Xirong, has great fortune, with the strong luck of an Immortal Venerate!"

"Letting someone else modify it would definitely result in a flaw. It’s best to have me, the original casting master, personally transform it."

True Man Danding was very adept at interacting with others, praising the other’s fortune immediately.

Soon, she and Jiucai Rong were complimenting each other in business.

To her, even discounted, this was the largest deal in recent times!

After securing this order, her assets would surpass 100 billion upper-grade Immortal Stones, making her a top-tier super-wealthy individual among True Immortals.

War is very favorable to someone like her who sells weapons.

Jiucai Rong, on the other hand, went out for a while, spending an hour walking around.

The materials were indeed relatively easy to purchase; the Xirong Black Market covered almost everything, and the material expenses cost over three hundred billion in funds.

This placed Xirong’s cash flow under significant strain.

In contrast, the renovation of the ten fortresses began.

"Sir, let me help!"

"I’ll help too."

"I’m free of charge, I won’t take a salary!"

"Damn! You beast... Sir, wait, I’ll even pay to help."

...

Although the blacksmiths couldn’t lead this forging project, still a group of them diligently came to forge and help the big boss.

Learning under True Man Danding.

True Man Danding was also happy to oblige and teach a few things.

They even witnessed an amazing scene where Daojiu organized an NPC Daojiu troop and started working.

Clang, clang, clang!

The entire fortress had transformed into a giant blacksmith shop, with continuous modifications underway and the sound of metal clanging.

"Damn, how did Daojiu end up with ten Ghost King babies?"

"Really wealthy."

"His Ghost King babies have already all been awakened with money and reached Human Immortal Great Perfection, right?"

"You thought Food God was the richest in the manor? No, he’s just a poor card-drawing guy; the richest in the manor is Daojiu."

"A hidden tycoon indeed."

A lot of blacksmiths started to complain.

Now the manor’s baby nurturing function was already on track.

The growth path of the babies was like what they predicted back then.

Phase One: Producing Embers.

Previously, only a few in thousands of cases produced Embers; the number was minimal.

However, during beta testing, complaints surged, prompting the planners to promptly change the mechanism to a 50% drop rate for Embers.

Phase Two: Nurturing Ember growth.

Phase Three: Turning Embers into Ghost Kings.

And how to become a Ghost King?

It involved spending Qi Fortune Value for awakening.

The Qi Fortune Taoist in the neighboring Celestial Destiny World had low utilization of fortune and couldn’t use such advanced fortune usage to awaken the Embers.

But Ning Zheng’s Qi Fortune Gambling Table had almost omnipotent utilization capability for fortune, allowing Embers to awaken by just spending money.

Since Ning Zheng opened up the Qi Fortune Coins, earning 1% daily after, they made 300 to 400 million Qi Fortune Coins daily.

Ning Zheng set for them: 50 million Qi Fortune Coins to awaken one Ember.

Although the typical cost for a blacksmith’s Ember awakening was just 5 million.

But he charged ten times that.

This was Ning Zheng’s cash-grabbing tactic.

After all, blacksmiths had started using upper-grade Immortal Stones, and the Qi Fortune Value income had skyrocketed...

If they didn’t add some fees, how could they recover the money in their pockets?

This manor’s commodity prices must be adjusted to prevent devaluation of supplies.

Returning to the main topic.

Daojiu was the type to forge silently, rarely boastful like those high-flying blacksmiths, saving up quietly and obtaining ten Ember Ghost Kings.

His Ember Ghost King qualifications were the highest type.

Forging together, honestly researching, with unprecedented harmony.

Duang Duang!

Sparks flew, shattering layers of Immortal Power.

Daojiu relentlessly forged, the hammer steady, each strike like heavenly music.

True Man Danding watched with satisfaction, arms crossed, speaking calmly:

"Not bad, not bad. Originally, you’d barely be a small-town blacksmith from a small world, with some fame but no further, likely unable to make a name even in your continent, let alone become the best."

"But after Ghost King awakening, your qualifications and insight have significantly improved, making you barely above average in the Immortal Realm."

"Yet talents are abundant in the Immortal Realm; at most, you could reach the Celestial Immortal level in terms of insight and talent in this life."

"But!"

"With this Ten Thousand Beasts Domain, connected Embers, plus the inheritance of firewood...ten of you comprehending together, forging together...it has True Immortal-tier professional potential."

True Man Danding was immensely envious.

This kid was utterly average in qualifications but won a stroke of luck!

The potential for the future is likely extraordinary.

Xi Rong!

What an excellent Xirong Manor.

As expected of the Sword Casting Manor, possessing such ingenious methods to elevate the blacksmiths under it to this level.

Truly matching their self-description: A Dreamland for blacksmiths.

Building a "many me" army, countless selves united, capable of defying fate in any profession!

For example, a Fried Fish Lady army.

Though she was envious, possessing several Ember slots of her own, she didn’t intend to develop them this way.

Because she took her Ember babies back and found that their qualifications...

Weren’t great!

In simple terms, they were like the Ember of the previous Chaotic Yellow Immortal Venerable, wanting to brawl with her main body, neither yielding.

Born rebellious, how could they form an army?

It’s like Night Emperor, Jiucai Rong...their Ember babies rebelled every day.

In reality, Su Yuniang’s Ember, though rebellious, calmed down once bullied by "herself", making them relatively easy-going baby types.

"Seems only such steady, pure individuals can coexist peacefully with themselves."

She sighed inwardly.

This was probably what those blacksmiths referred to as... the Mortal Immortal Cultivation flow!

Good people get bullied.

Good deeds earn no rewards.

It’s a cruel truth in civilized history.

But now?

Only virtuous, pure individuals can produce high-quality, obedient babies, allowing them to unite...

These pure, honest cultivators, Xirong had opened a broad path for them!

True Man Danding, appearing carefree, was in fact a skilled thinker, with a sensitive mind.

She couldn’t help but envision the future.

The rise of this "innocence" faction could surely lead to an increase in this type of high-tier kind cultivators, producing a batch of Immortal Venerates of this personality...

The ethos of entire celestial civilizations might change?

Could the world become a bit more friendly, overthrowing the cold, greedy, monopolistic era of those Immortal Venerates?

Celestial Destiny?

She suddenly recalled the term Heaven’s Chosen mentioned by Xi Rong.

Looking at the ten Daojiu, who were honestly chatting and discussing with her, passionately and purely righteous...

Perhaps this really was Celestial Destiny, who knows.

The torrent of fate, the slaves of destiny, who truly understands the tide of the world, the direction civilization is supposed to surge?

She had a sudden impulse, as if wanting to grasp the node of destiny.

"Little fellow, are you interested in becoming my disciple?" True Man Danding’s eyes showed a hint of coolness, suddenly speaking.
