I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players-Chapter 558 - 48: New Playable Character: Pseudo-human, Onset of Oceanic Calamity
"Whew!" Ning Zheng sighed deeply, not reprimanding them for their independent decision.
Because the young blacksmiths now are already quite crafty, the bad ending of the Manor Master’s death constantly warned them.
Upon careful consideration of their actions at this moment, they were indeed very reasonable, brave and resourceful, completely deserving to be called: the fully automated developing idle blacksmiths with rich theoretical experience in killing and looting treasures like protagonists in a xianxia story!
Taking everything away, even plucking a feather from a passing goose, leaving only a turtle’s head for the pseudo-human to possess, and the pseudo-human has to take the blame for them, wiping their backs, and faking a living Elder Gui.
And the Two-Phase Realm Great Cultivator protecting Elder Gui is still in the Illusion Realm, unaware that Elder Gui has been possessed.
But how to conceal from that Two-Phase Realm Cultivator if the "amnesiac" Elder Gui no longer has a body?
Hope the possessing pseudo-human is okay!
If "Elder Gui" manages to conceal it and inherit the prior relationships, he can still use this connection to do some things himself.
Whether it’s the actual person has become unimportant.
"However, the pseudo-humans have been frantically active, it feels like the land will soon be filled with Immortal Spirit Roots."
Ning Zheng sighed in his heart.
This era, full of changes, is at a rarely seen juncture in millennia.
Belonging to the dimensional uplift stage of a cultivation civilization!
Now, on the side of the Human Race, a unified plan for Immortal Spirit Roots had been announced.
Lower Grade + Lower Grade is a Lower Grade Immortal Spirit Root.
Celestial Grade + Celestial Grade is a Celestial Grade Immortal Spirit Root.
All composite spiritual roots formed by fusion are categorized under Immortal Spirit Roots.
It is now clearly the era of Lower Grade and Middle Grade Immortal Spirit Roots.
This kind of entry-level threshold is very low, not difficult, and quick cultivation, it can quickly form combat power.
"Even pseudo-spiritual roots can possess hosts, and hosts can also instead possess the invading pseudo-spiritual roots..."
"It can be foreseen, a large number of former Three Elements Realm, Two-Phase Realm experts will, with the help of pseudo-spiritual roots, form a great outbreak of Immortal Spirit Roots!"
Ning Zheng sighed:
"However, the little blacksmiths said, it feels like the opponent’s Yin Yang Spirit Root circulation is deficient, as if blocked, with a strong sense of stagnation!"
But the combat power has still greatly increased.
The Pseudo-human Calamity only means the era of Immortal Path is officially coming.
Ning Zheng felt that he needed to speed up his own Immortal-grade Spirit Root.
Not to let the era of change he is pushing eliminate himself first.
...
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The crisp clanging sound seemed to be hammering metal.
"The sound of this turtle shell is so crisp!"
"Really pleasant."
A group of delighted little blacksmiths roamed the manor, examining the giant turtle shell.
Upon death, it revealed its true form, astonishingly as high as a two-story building, with a turtle shell shaped like a mountain.
"A Great Expert of the Three Elements Realm, what a pity, missing the head circulation... Can only extract the Four Viscera circulation inside to make a flesh cylinder."
"A flesh cylinder solely composed of Four Viscera circulation, the regeneration speed declines, feels like it won’t last long."
"Still, the Golden Turtle, in some aspects, feels like it’s not inferior to Celestial-grade Spirit Roots!"
"Indeed, this thing is strong! Suitable for us money-loving little blacksmiths."
"Synthesize it a bit, feels like it’s quite useful."
"Are we finally going to carry turtle shells and wear green hats? Boo hoo hoo."
"I can never escape the fate of the green hat."
"Stop arguing, most will be made into flesh cylinders, the rest turtle jelly, as for the turtle shell... Make a giant electronic wooden fish, place it beside the manor square, blessing the manor 24/7."
"Brilliant!"
...
A group of people was cheerfully arranging the temporary adoptive father Elder Gui’s body as if celebrating a bumper harvest during the New Year.
Although Elder Gui didn’t acknowledge being their adoptive father, their fervent filial piety remained warm.
Soon, Elder Gui’s Storage Bag was also sorted out.
Ning Zheng looked at the report, showing a slight smile, "The harvest is not bad."
million Magic Coins.
It’s estimated to have been collected after traveling through several cities, including many Shell Magical Artifacts and Fake Human Brain Wave Detection Magical Artifacts.
Yet Magic Coins are external objects!
He had a large quantity in his hands.
What truly concerned him were some haphazard specialties of the Sea Race, corpses of Sea Race Demon Beasts, and various Sea Race metal materials.
These are all middle and high-tier resources unique to the Sea Race.
Previously, without resource channels, these were good things Ning Zheng couldn’t get.
"This Elder Gui is really wealthy, this one Storage Bag is already as affluent as the fortune of a typical Sect Leader-level!"
"No wonder the pseudo-human wanted to attack him."
"No wonder a Two-Phase Realm Cultivator was sent to protect him, afraid others would rob this rent collector!"
Ning Zheng secretly reveled.
With these Sea Race resources, he could integrate into the Sea Race forces.
He glanced over and included them into the manor’s treasury.
"However, the Magic Coins in hand really are increasing..."
Ning Zheng felt a bit moved about whether he was too wealthy.
Of course, strictly speaking, compared with other forces with over 100,000 years of profound heritage, he was still poor.
But to concentrate these resources on a Two-Phase Realm Cultivator, it seemed a bit too much.
They simply couldn’t be used up.
Couldn’t be used up at all.
If a manor had a solid foundation, raising several One Heart Realm Sect Leaders would ensure the warehouse wouldn’t be this overly full.
"The most painful thing in life is having no one to help me spend money."
Ning Zheng didn’t consider the little blacksmith as a human.
The little blacksmith didn’t need any cultivation resources, didn’t need magic coins... magic coins were merely the circulating currency used for transactions among themselves!
Afternoon.
After organizing this batch of harvests, the matter with Elder Gui was resolved; he might as well be a Wealth-bringing Boy.
Ning Zheng didn’t bother further, as the Pseudo-human could take the blame. He then went to the Spirit Farmer area again.
In the Spirit Farmer area, the Mudworker was conducting new cultivation and said:
"Sir, our Upper Grade Human God Flower has completed research, and it’s already advancing, cultivating Celestial Grade Human God Flower... in a few days, we’ll need a little bit of Qi Fortune enhancement!"
As long as luck was good, even an Upper Grade Spirit Farmer had the chance to cultivate a Celestial Grade Spiritual Root, after all, it’s just frantically adding resources to plants and waiting for mutations... if luck was good enough.
"That’s not bad."
Ning Zheng thought this was good news.
In a few days, the Celestial Grade Human God Spiritual Root would be born, and it would be time for his complete qualitative breakthrough. Ning Zheng was looking forward to his Shadow Crocodile Spiritual Root advancing.
"Are the resources sufficient?" Ning Zheng couldn’t help but ask.
"It’s fine, they’re sufficient," the Mudworker said.
The cultivation of Celestial Spirit Roots consumed a massive amount of resources.
The required Celestial Grade Spirit Plant Liquid could only be extracted from spiritual plants over ten thousand years old.
Even the inventories of the Great Holy Lands didn’t have much.
Fortunately, Ning Zheng was quite wealthy and had deliberately collected some previously, which could now finally be used where it mattered.
Celestial Spirit Roots couldn’t be mass-produced.
He intended to cultivate just one and then use it himself.
"Also, cultivate a Celestial Grade pseudo-spiritual root with a Yang Spirit Root attribute."
Ning Zheng instructed, "Then, fuse this Yang attribute Celestial Grade pseudo-spiritual root with the Celestial Grade Human God Spiritual Root."
"Yes!!"
The Mudworker shouted, "Create a super Celestial Grade linear spiritual root and guarantee the mission’s completion!"
Only then did Ning Zheng leave the Spirit Farmer area, and soon a triumphant message came from the Alchemy Room.
"Sir, sir! Epic level great news!"
"We’ve made a major update of an epic level!"
Upon entering the Alchemy Room, he saw the Night Mad Cultivator exclaiming excitedly.
The Night Mad Cultivator showed a protective shield inside which was imprisoned something resembling ginseng but was a pseudo-spiritual root.
"This is the super-large pseudo-spiritual root we cultivated, our new character—pseudo-spiritual root character!"
"As long as we have logged into this character, we can possess high-level experts of the Three Elements Realm and Two-Phase Realm just like the Pseudo-human."
"We’re no longer weak!"
"We are a heavenly calamity, a super ocean calamity!"
"Breaking through the Sea Race Sects, kicking away the Sea Race forbidden zones, and plundering the Sea Race Dragon Palace is just around the corner!"
This rapid burst of statements quickly.
But Ning Zheng also understood what it was about.
Pseudo-spiritual roots, they could log in!
"Sir, we apply to log in!" the Night Mad Cultivator’s eyes sparkled. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
"Hmm, you may," Ning Zheng said.
Crash!
Soon, in the Alchemy Room, all the blacksmiths witnessed a historic moment.
Having become a pseudo-spiritual root, the little blacksmith began breakdancing.
Chirp chirp!
Spinning, jumping.
Chirp chirp chirp chirp!
Splitting, one-legged stance.
Chirp chirp!
Pole dancing.
The enchanting dance moves signified the opening of the [Player Possession System], an unprecedented new gameplay.
It could even extend into many imaginative new branches.
Ning Zheng looked, "Try possessing a blacksmith."
Chirp chirp!
The pseudo-spiritual root jumped on a blacksmith, struggling to crawl in through the mouth.
Ning Zheng watched speechlessly.
This kind of parasitic possession... looked quite difficult.
The size was too bloated.
Apparently, it was a large pseudo-spiritual root bred from crossbreeding some kind of Sea Race creature with a pseudo-spiritual root.
Being so large, let alone a surprise parasitic possession.
It would be enough for a meal when used for stir-frying dishes.
Yet the little blacksmith was completely possessed, successfully taken over, "Look, I am now a Yin Yang Immortal Spirit Root! Though they’re all Lower Grade."
He danced joyfully.
Ning Zheng stroked his chin, "Pseudo-human calamity... but it’s false, the truly terrifying thing is that we, these pseudo-pseudo-human calamity, spread beneath the sea."
As long as there was an opportunity, they could possess Three Elements Realm, Two-Phase Realm... the manor’s little blacksmiths were no longer weaklings, they could indeed become the manor’s powerhouse Elders, stewards, operating significant local powers.
What a pity.
If this thing had come faster, that Elder Gui would’ve been possessed by them too.
Though highly likely to be detected.
