I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players-Chapter 556 - 46: The Legend of the Golden Turtle Clan

Chapter 556: Chapter 46: The Legend of the Golden Turtle Clan

Four million Magic Coins?

The City Lord of neighboring Kissing City has revealed the bottom line; they only need 2 million Magic Coins to buy over there.

Obviously, the super markup here is a special treatment.

It likely has something to do with the former City Lord of Fish Wine City, coming to mess with people... and collecting protection fees.

The newly appointed City Lord probably has to pay him a big tribute.

This greedy old bastard must be used to rampant tyranny.

Not putting on airs at all.

Ning Zheng didn’t get puffed up and maintained his humble and calm nature, not annoyed by this bastard’s arrogance.

He sorted out his thoughts.

This person is in the Three Elements Realm, not much of a threat.

But there’s a Two-Phase Realm Dharma Aspect tracking him from behind.

If the bodyguard in the Two-Phase Realm were here, one move would be enough to destroy both the old turtle and his bodyguard without a trace.

With some false intelligence, even framing pseudo-humans wouldn’t be impossible.

But it’s just the Dharma Aspect... If killed, the real body in another place would expose all his secrets.

Ning Zheng was speechless:

"Now, I truly understand how much the ancient tomb owners hated those Two-Phase Realm flies!"

"They’re undying, using Dharma Aspect to explore your tomb and take your information back."

"Now, I also can’t kill this Dharma Aspect Cultivator."

Admittedly, this undying system is hard to kill, extremely disgusting.

It’s also his bad luck; why did the possessed Two-Phase Realm Cultivator next door send their real body for the pseudo-human?

But the Two-Phase Realm here is so cautious, only sending out Dharma Aspect?

No sense of martial virtue.

But after some thought, Ning Zheng quickly came up with an idea.

These four million Magic Coins, given if necessary.

This bastard will soon find that my money is not easy to take.

Thinking that having a Two-Phase Realm bodyguard guarantees safety?

It’s hard to attack him here, but once he leaves, it won’t be a Fish Wine City’s Cultivator wielding the dark hand!

Thinking of this, Ning Zheng mimicked the acting of the little blacksmith to reduce suspicion after attacking him, showing difficulty: "This huge sum, can’t be produced at the moment; Sir, could you show us some leniency?"

Elder Gui sneered, paced back and forth on the city street, looking at the surroundings, raising a long turtle head:

"Your city can’t produce money? That’s troublesome!"

"Without this, the city’s downfall is only a matter of time; it’s quite a profitable city, a shelter and home!"

"The words of the Sir are indeed correct." Ning Zheng showed a struggling look, "Sir, but we are really strapped for cash in hand, can we use other things to offset the debt?"

"Bring them and let’s see." Elder Gui said.

Their attitude was quite satisfactory to him.

Though he killed his wallet, a close friend City Lord, but before him... If the other party wants to become his new wallet.

Add a tribute fee of 2 million Magic Coins, and the matter of his City Lord friend will be let go.

Soon.

Under Ning Zheng’s hint, several blacksmiths ran reluctantly to the blacksmith shop, bringing a pile of Magical Artifacts from the Four Viscera Realm and even over a dozen from the Three Elements Realm.

The eyes of this old turtle suddenly lit up, picking up one of them, "Not bad! Nice craftsmanship!"

In the distance, the squatting little blacksmiths in the corner rolled their eyes frantically.

"Don’t we know our craft? Two words, rubbish! Middle Grade Artifacts can only be standard, Upper Grade Artifacts are all coarse."

"Exactly, it’s all semi-finished products smelted with synthetic metal from the furnace, just barely struck Upper Grade Artifacts."

"Even the forging technology of the Sea Race’s lower levels is so poor!"

...

This triggering of the NPC plot made some blacksmiths very upset.

This old bastard is actually extorting them.

When have they suffered such a loss?

But Elder Gui laughed:

"These Upper Grade Artifacts are okay, but it’s the Upper Grade demon beast materials that are the hard part... the materials you brought, are they all pseudo-human?"

"Naturally." Ning Zheng replied.

"Not bad, not bad."

Elder Gui gave a cursory glance, immediately thought of making friends.

After all, previously.

The little blacksmiths were humans, using humans to forge iron, very Demon Cultivator.

Now, little blacksmiths are Sea Race demon beasts, using demon beasts to forge iron, it’s traditional craftsmanship!

Even Sea Race’s Magical Artifacts use demon beasts to forge iron.

So, the demon beast materials before him were not strange.

Even because demon beasts possessed by pseudo-humans were used for forging iron, was a proper way to handle pseudo-humans.

Elder Gui said, "These things, Four Viscera Realm magical artifacts cost thousands of magic coins, Three Elements Realm range from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands... Adding it all up, I’ll count it as one and a half million magic coins for you guys."

"This is us already bankrupting ourselves, and it’s still not enough."

Ning Zheng sighed, putting on a hard-done-by expression, then took out some miscellaneous low-level materials and 2 million magic coins in cash to barely make up the amount.

"Not bad, very good."

Elder Gui happily weighed the storage bag, then took out two magical artifacts, "Here you go... and my communication token as well."

"You guys are quite decent. The money wasn’t taken from you for nothing; when the time comes, there’ll be a major opportunity for you."

"May I ask, senior, what major opportunity?" Ning Zheng asked, feigning curiosity.

He spoke heroically:

"Your forging skills are acceptable. Later, I’ll introduce some orders to you and give you a tip: our Saint plans to draft soldiers from major sects and sects of various sea domains."

"Cities like yours, small ones, aren’t needed. Only recruiting high-level Two-Phase Realm experts and using Dharma Aspect for battle to prevent possession."

"However, if the fight spreads, life in your small city certainly won’t be good... When the time comes, I’ll make some arrangements for you, to forge weapons for the army, supply goods."

This news was big for Ning Zheng.

This old tortoise may be greedy but he does get things done... Looks like I can hold off from killing him and use his channel to get more things.

"Work hard, I’m off to the next one."

Elder Gui showed a pleased expression and then left the city.

After he completely left, the surrounding blacksmiths revealed a sinister expression, "Sir, should we..."

Night Mad Cultivator stepped forward, making a throat-slitting motion with a sinister grin, "He has a way of courting death."

"Don’t kill."

Ning Zheng thought for a moment and instructed, "As for the specific operations, you decide... Don’t get exposed, don’t make any low-level mistakes."

"Yes!" Several small blacksmiths immediately showed excitement.

An urgent task has arrived!

Even Jiucai Rong at Sword Casting Manor quickly inserted a task card.

[Limited Time Task: Punish Elder Gui]

[Task Content: The greedy Elder Gui came in and beat up two of our docile "godsons" who acknowledge him as master, extorted and threatened us, so we must give him a small lesson! The dining hall is soon adding a dish: Turtle Jelly.]

...

...

Leaving Fish Wine City, Elder Gui jumped onto a sea vessel and continued his voyage.

Whoosh!

The azure seawater surged.

He glanced at the cultivator sitting cross-legged beside him and snorted coldly, "Humph, this is still the heartland of our Sea Race, pseudo-humans can’t infiltrate our top levels so quickly?"

The cultivator seemed to ignore him, continuing to sit cross-legged in meditation.

After all, the wisdom of pseudo-humans is not to be underestimated, they know all sorts of devious tactics, sneak attacks, ambushes, one must be wary.

Elder Gui felt satisfied in his heart, "Four million magic coins, this new City Lord of Fish Wine City is understanding and clever..."

One must know that the spiritual culture and style of a force are mostly reflected in its middle and lower levels.

Even a tiger and wolf army has its rank-and-file brimming with enthusiasm and fighting spirit!

As soon as he entered the city, several flattering mixed-blood bone demons came to please him, bowing and nodding, showing how deep the ingratiating and weak style of this force went.

What could their leader be?

Bully the weak and fear the strong.

Timid and afraid of things.

A bunch of cowards in one nest, Elder Gui, being well-versed, immediately saw the other’s weakness and opened his mouth wide like a lion, demanding a large sum.

It proved he guessed correctly.

"But such forces suit me well enough."

Elder Gui felt smug, "The previous cities weren’t honest... A timid City Lord taking office is quite nice, even having some forging skill inheritance, introducing some forging orders to them isn’t impossible either."

Introducing orders certainly didn’t mean profit-sharing.

Rather, it’s that this force is more controllable, let them forge weapons, conveniently allowing him to cash in on the forging projects, court allocations.

"Quite the big opportunity indeed." Elder Gui thought as he looked at the four million magic coins, "With this surge of resources, I can finally break through to the Two-Phase Realm."

As is well-known, the Divine Techniques Cultivated by the Turtle Prime Minister clan are one of the top Upper Grade Divine Techniques of Four Seas and Nine-State: Golden Turtle.

Among Upper Grade Divine Techniques, they are exceedingly outstanding, even comparable to some weaker Celestial Grade Divine Techniques not skilled in combat.

Yin Series, soul type strange.

Yang Series, formidable in flesh, mostly defense techniques.

Metal Series, meant primarily for killing.

And the Golden Turtle clan, it’s said to be the mixed-blood descendants of an extinct qi fortune Divine Beast clan.

The treasure that suppresses the Chronicles of Time is rumored to have been crafted by their ancestors.

Magic coins, in their eyes are the best cultivation resource.

Their popularity booms, as they accumulate incense qi fortune through transactions among various beings.

"Our Golden Turtle clan are lucky stars, skilled at accumulating wealth, the Metal Series can also campaign well, the Dragon Race likes us these profit-making golden turtles."

Elder Gui was delighted.

Today, he profited again, having made a substantial gain.
