Crash.
The Sword Immortal and Zhang Huaping appeared at the entrance of the manor.
This handover was actually not complicated.
Just taking 20 blind boxes.
But Zhang Huaping, who originally thought the handover was so simple, was taken to the steward's room.
"This is our latest [Painting Card] series."
Jiucai Rong smiled and said, "It can aid in communication, and the price isn't high, 50 Magic Coins. You just have to write to communicate, or you can draw pictures. What do you think?"
Zhang Huaping paused for a long moment.
A new Magical Artifact again?
This time it was surprisingly cheap.
Fifty Magic Coins for a pair!
But the materials used are minimal, like small ornaments.
She took it and examined it, a palm-sized Dragon and Phoenix carved idle card, one of the traditional ornaments scholars hang on their waists.
Also very beautiful!
The glaze is transparent, utilizing the previous craftsmanship.
"Just for sending messages? Very nice," this time Zhang Huaping knew it would surely sell, and sell well.
Because for the lower-tier cultivators, everyone previously used disposable Communication Talismans, which cost one Magic Coin for three, a continuous expense, while this Magical Artifact can be passed down.
"This time, we'll also use a blind box format."
Jiucai Rong said, "But the blind boxes are categorized, sold in pairs, with couple blind boxes, close friend blind boxes, father-son blind boxes, master-apprentice blind boxes..."
Zhang Huaping: "?"
She was stunned.
Wasn't it said that the blind box model was special, suitable for very few weapons?
...
On the other side.
The Sword Immortal was surrounded by people.
Encircled by the crowd, the Sword Immortal proudly spoke of her adventure in Pingchang City:
"Pingchang City is super big, as big as an entire province; this world is full of huge cities!"
"The city walls are the graves of more than thirty thousand ancestors, wrapped around the outside, belonging to the new-type Attack on Giant's Wall, leaving only four gates, very spectacular. At the foot of the wall, that epic majestic feeling rushes at you. You can't understand it without seeing it."
"Currently, the Red Moon outbreak is occurring, and everyone is handling it. Fortunately, there hasn't been any Great Calamity. Great Perfection in the Five-Body Realm can deal with most of it, and the most severe cases currently at most reach the Four Viscera Realm level."
The crowd listened intently to the Sword Immortal's description.
A grand Immortal Path city gradually took shape in their minds.
This is the advantage of setting adventures.
Every time the adventure baby returns, they narrate various literary adventures, like listening to audiobooks, understanding the world view plot, enriching the details.
This shows how meticulously crafted the game is.
For every adventure, they deliberately write novels to enrich the content, truly impressive.
Next, the Sword Immortal also spoke about her sisters she met in the Red House, chatting with everyone for quite a while.
Then she took out letters and handed them to Su Yuniang's Embers:
"These are two letters, for your family's Ning Jiaojiao two, and the owner of Youzhu Bookstore!"
The crowd was shocked.
"Let me tell you a big secret."
The Sword Immortal mysteriously said, "In Pingchang City, I met Ning Jiaojiao's mother. Her husband is actually the owner of Youzhu Bookstore... they're all in Pingchang City, about to become a Wangfu Stone."
The Sword Immortal, an experienced reader of the female-oriented literature, began to sentimentally narrate a moving love story.
...
...
Below the manor.
Su Yuniang rushed back to the house with urgency.
"Jiaojiao!" Su Yuniang shouted, bursting through the door, "Come quickly, you have a letter from your mother in Pingchang City, sent from your mother who's working there!"
Ning Jiaojiao poked her head out, excitedly: "Mom? Brother, it's a letter from mom!"
Ning Zheng remained silent.
He was aware of this matter, the Sword Immortal knew about it after arriving.
Ning Jiaojiao was a name she chose for herself; she originally had the surname Jiao.
And the most absurd thing is, the middle-aged scholar of Youzhu Bookstore turned out to be Ning Jiaojiao's father?
So the wealthy player in the village was you!
In this world, books are worth a thousand gold. Seeing his room full of books, it was early to guess he was a wealthy person in the village.
This news gave Ning Zheng chills down his spine.
Initially, when he went to Youzhu Bookstore, the Qi Fortune indicated a Great Calamity. But he had to go because there were books on entering cultivation.
He believed he could turn misfortune into fortune, so he went.
Thinking back now, the Great Calamity wasn't inherently dangerous, it was because he took the identity of her brother as a fake?
From his perspective, even though life and death are shielded, the plot most likely is as follows:
Slaves from the mountain escaped, brought someone's daughter to seek cultivation books with me?
However, obtaining the books evidently meant he had accepted being Ning Jiaojiao's sibling for convenience.
Yet pretended not to know himself.
But why wouldn't Ning Jiaojiao recognize her own dad?
This also posed a problem.
Ning Zheng took the letters and then instructed Su Yuniang: "Don't rush to send them to the bookstore, wait for us to finish reading the letters."
"Okay." Su Yuniang's eyes sparkled, the fire of gossip burning intensely.
Unexpectedly, the bookstore owner is actually their dad, no wonder he keeps prompting me to woo him.
Ning Zheng took Ning Jiaojiao back to the room, locked the door, looked at the letters, and the envelope was flexible, unable to be opened by him.
He thought for a moment, handed it to Ning Jiaojiao to open.
As expected, when Ning Jiaojiao touched it, a bright light seemed to flash, and the envelope opened directly.
Ning Zheng began reading the letter.
Most of the beginning was chats between siblings, greetings of family matters.
Unfortunately, their brother had died long ago, not even leaving embers behind.
Ning Zheng read it carefully, then focused on the last few paragraphs:
"All these years, mother has been sending people to observe. This Demon Manor may have major changes; their Bottle Ancestor, Nine Ancestors, mother's power can detect dragon vein qi fortune, the person seems to have gained a certain consciousness, already half-awakened, it cannot be delayed."
"Every hundred fifty years during the Red Sun, in the Ash Disaster, there will inevitably be Great Calamities taking advantage of the timing to emerge, self-awaken, realizing they are not themselves, humans die as embers, embers die as ghosts, causing disasters everywhere."
"The time will be around the early period of the Red Moon, taking advantage of the convergence of muddy qi, awakening with the momentum, bringing forth an outbreak of embers."
"By then, great powers of the Nine-State will personally descend to fight, punishing the ember leaders."
"This manor will become a disaster area, great powers personally arrive, the mountains collapse, turning to ruins. Find your father, escape early, come to the edge of the manor, we will secretly help you return home."
The tone was extremely urgent.
Ning Zheng felt as if he was struck by lightning.
The Bottle Ancestor, the ninth ancestor who has been in seclusion, had a major issue, kept deeply hidden. If it awakens...
He was surely doomed.
If it resurfaces, it would definitely notice the manor had been taken over, the cuckoo occupying the nest, and begin his massacre.
The Nine Ancestors are a ticking time bomb.
About to explode!
Ning Zheng sighed, looking at his 700 Qi Fortune Value, which showed no fluctuations, steadying his heart mind.
But this might not be effective.
Because if the adversary's Qi Fortune value far exceeds yours, no feedback can occur, it can only be used as a reference.
Ning Zheng rapidly processed thoughts, organizing his plan.
Ning Jiaojiao thinks she's alive, Li Youzhu thinks he's alive... but the outside Jiao Family can't possibly be unaware of their death!
So, what is the purpose of them writing letters to the deceased?
It must still try to influence their actions.
Treating them as living people, lure them to the manor's edge, then sever their roots, taking these Earth-bound Spirits away.
"But how should I, this imposter, respond? Run with their father and daughter? That's impossible."
Ning Zheng was silent, "Among the Three Ancestors, the Nine Ancestors, I need to find a way to kill him early!"
"Gather people to kill him."
"Stifle in the cradle, to prevent uncontrollable situations. When he fully awakens, great powers of the Nine-State will personally descend, these mountains will be gone."
Ning Zheng took a deep breath, thinking of the forces he could use.
Adoptive Father, that scarecrow witch sister, and the bookstore owner...
The two ancestors, logical flaws, if deceived a bit, not impossible, this relies on the blacksmith! They call the adoptive father very warmly!
Bookstore owner, personally visit once, see how things stand.
Thinking of this, Ning Zheng dared not wait, early period of Red Moon might awaken... who knows when it awakens now.
For the first time, using Ai assistant, urgently issuing an official announcement:
[Manor Emergency Defensive Campaign initiated, please prepare fully, expansion pack: Nine Ancestors Demonized Awakening, Destruction of Manor, mobilize all available forces to resist.]
