I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players

Chapter 77: Spending Winter Together with the River Demon


Ning Zheng just passed by to take a look at what kind of medicine was being sold, and that was enough for people to start a fuss.

The Medical Fairy saw these livestock lodging complaints, afraid that the old steward might be fooled by these hooligans, and immediately cried out, "Sir, don't listen to them, they're just jealous."

She spoke softly, "Now I don't have to go to the toilet often, so I can work better for our estate, which is very cost-effective, highlighting the three advantages of being aesthetically pleasing and practical."

Ning Zheng was a bit puzzled.

Aesthetically pleasing and practical are just two advantages, aren't they?

But anyway, Ning Zheng wouldn't be used as a tool either.

He felt that everyone came to play games, and each had their own freedom.

However one enjoys playing, they shouldn't limit others' joy, and of course, this premise is not harming others' interests.

Now the hottest and most eye-catching booth is indeed the Medical Fairy's.

Her embers usually go out to gather medicinal herbs and study pharmacology. After getting a basic pharmacology book from a merchant, she began studying pharmacology.

Dizzy and the Medical Fairy are essentially not adventurous spirits, very much homebodies.

One gathers ingredients to supply the canteen.

One gathers herbs to supply the medical hall.

They are the unique travel frogs of the estate's two major public buildings.

And Su Yuniang's position is even more crucial.

Stationed in the village at the foot of the mountain, setting up a stall at the New Year Market, while guarding the entrance to the Well Entrance Dungeon.

After all, at the early stage of estate development, there were too few embers that could go out, and the numbers were very tight. It would take a good while for more embers to gradually ease the situation.

But it's worth mentioning.

Previously, the Medical Fairy studied serious medicine for saving people, and the business was quite bleak.

Ever since she started trialing studying the pharmacology books of Demon Cultivators, learning various formulas from within, and developed this self-destructive overtime medicine, business boomed.

This opened the door to a new world for her: the end of overtime is taking medicine.

Thus, in enlightenment, she found that her pharmacy was one of the essential industries for the estate to undertake tasks!

Decisively researching whatever has significant side effects, focusing on practicality.

Ning Zheng ignored their complaints and walked away.

The blacksmiths, seeing no way to file complaints, could only buy more medicine.

The Medical Fairy saw these livestock once more acting fawningly around her, lazily ignoring them, while holding a bamboo tube-made medicine bottle:

"Do you want this 'One-Day Madness'? It has no antidote, burns until death, and will work you to collapse directly."

The blacksmith, dark circles heavy, answered, "No, though One-Day Madness has no antidote, it is the antidote in my life's journey."

"I wish you a miserable death, unable to rest in peace, opening Three Flowers at the top, expelling embers as the candle extinguishes."

"Thank you."

...

Ning Zheng looked at the prosperity of the stall area.

Completely different from before.

With Dizzy and the Medical Fairy's daily excursions to gather materials, coupled with that batch of large purchases from the merchant.

The estate's materials began to circulate.

Many people started to exercise their creativity, abilities, and real-world skills, purchasing various materials for processing, then selling them.

The atmosphere was bustling.

"My estate is developing rapidly." Ning Zheng smiled gently, looking at the heartless, unscrupulous little blacksmiths.

To them, it was just a guest journey.

But to himself, every bit of harvest from this estate was an important resource for cultivation, adding bricks and tiles to the Immortal Path.

Ning Zheng thought for a moment and headed to another estate building.

The study room.

This is the headquarters of the estate's Enchanters, filled with scholars reading, with the goal of becoming cultivators, embracing a sense of artistry.

Now, Su Yuniang is leading the team to analyze the spiritual root and cultivation secret manual of the ancestor.

"This Blood Separation Flower, once planted with the spiritual root, indeed allows cultivators to possess Innate Divine Techniques, enabling self blood and flesh separation."

Su Yuniang concluded, "The 'Other's Flesh Field' technique by that imperial-sister ancestor possibly extends from this move; this spiritual root of the Demon Cultivators emphasizes a gothic eeriness."

Everyone agreed.

The Righteous Path and the Demon Path, though distinguished through cultivation techniques, are actually differentiated by spiritual roots.

Some spiritual roots are simply wicked and brutal, making them unacceptable to people.

"What do you think about this spiritual root?" Su Yuniang asked.

"I think opening Three Flowers is fine, but self-destruction, forging into a magical artifact, the Divine Techniques of flesh separation — is it truly useful?"

"Yes, wielding this artifact, can one's own flesh and blood really separate? This is fundamental power; wielding an artifact using such borrowed external force doesn't necessarily enable separation."

"If one can't separate their own flesh, the best effect would be separating the enemy's flesh upon striking!"

"But we can't ignore a larger possibility that this spiritual root is effective on a person but could lose all potency on the artifact."

In reality, most Demon Beasts' innate talents fail when transferred to weapons.

Thus, there are few Demon Beasts capable of crafting weapons.

Demon hunting also has classifications.

Some Demon Beasts' materials cannot be made into magical artifacts, perhaps suitable for alchemy or for making a meat field.

Human spiritual roots are similar.

Some spiritual roots are usable on people, but quite rigid and useless on artifacts, losing their advantages.

This is the limitation of artifacts.

So artifacts are always auxiliary to humans, not to mention that humans' and Demon Beasts' spells and Divine Techniques severely weaken when transferred to artifacts.

Su Yuniang nodded:

"Indeed, Middle Grade spiritual roots are difficult to cultivate, and we lack the means to cultivate them ourselves. These spiritual roots are exclusive to our estate's Demon Sect inheritance; we must first set aside one or even two as breeding stock for propagation."

"We can only test with one."

The discussion continued.

But what use is one once produced?

Without enough similar spiritual roots to practice with, even if one weapon is forged successfully, its quality will be the worst.

One or two weapons are of no use to the estate.

"Flesh separation, perhaps you could try giving it to the doctors in the estate." This voice suddenly came from outside the door.

They turned their heads to see that it was the old steward speaking.

Ning Zheng offered a suggestion, saying, "I see that young lady enjoys limb decomposition research, engaging in various experiments. Flesh separation is perfect for her."

Su Yuniang's eyes lit up.

Indeed!

Stop always thinking about forging weapons.

For the estate's permanent building: the medical hall, further developing the estate's pharmacology tech tree.

This flesh separation is just right for surgery.

Moreover.

Once the Medical Fairy possesses this Spirit Root Divine Techniques, after playing enough and dying, everyone can forge her into an artifact then.

This is the highest cost-effectiveness.

The blacksmiths secretly following the old steward outside turned pale upon hearing this.

"We are doomed, the old steward is confused!"

"That bad woman must be soaring with success — this is the fruit of surgery!"

"Damn it, will our estate ever be well?"

"The old steward can't possibly like peeing..."

"The old steward must not be someone so superficial, seduced by the woman's appearance."

Everyone ranted furiously.

But Ning Zheng didn't see anything wrong; he approached things from a practical angle.

Recently isn't she researching the River Demon sleeping bag?

This now can expedite the process.

The upcoming winter is also considered for their sake.

Ning Zheng knows better than anyone how cold the estate's winter is.

Living at nearly five thousand meters of altitude on the mountaintop is no joke.

Even the stingy estate demon men previously were afraid of blacksmith slaves dying, painfully setting up warming arrays.

Of course, Ning Zheng is kind-hearted.

He wouldn't skimp on those Magic Coins; money can always be earned, but health mustn't have issues. Those guests come to visit the "inn," so how could they not even open the floor heating?

But the problem is, Ning Zheng is not an Array Master and does not understand how to set up arrays.

This is awkward.

Going to the merchant to buy an array and array plate is not only a hassle but also exposes the estate's inability to set up even a basic warming lifestyle array, making it easy to see through.

To ensure one's concealment...

Ning Zheng thought secretly, "It would be better to rescue the River Demon from the water, bring them up the mountain to pass winter together, which is a great merit, killing two birds with one stone."

Therefore.

This River Demon sleeping bag project, I, Ning Zheng, am investing!

To endure winter, the business of the Well Entrance Dungeon, accelerating the capture of River Demons, must also be prioritized.
