Ning Zheng continued watching for a while.

All they had were pointless conversations and chats, and when they resumed work, getting ready for winter, he withdrew his gaze.

"The last time during ancestor worship, I didn't use my Qi Fortune Value."

"Now, I've saved up for a few days, and it's almost enough for a breakthrough."

He took a deep breath, ready to break through to the next realm:

Fourth Body.

Because he had experience this time, the whole process was smooth and without any waves.

Two hours later, a surge of powerful blood and energy filled his body, every cell was moaning in satisfaction.

Fourth Body, a natural success.

He felt quite exhilarated.

His whole body was cheering, the joy of cultivation was just so simple and unadorned.

And all of this was sponsored by the familial support of the mountain's blacksmiths.

Even if they were ghosts, Ning Zheng accepted it.

...

Blacksmith shop.

The scorching heat surged forward.

Daojiu sat on the iron frame in front of the furnace, with crossed legs and a worried expression, looking at the list in hand.

Theoretically, they were supposed to sell 300 pieces of the Dog-tail series Magical Artifacts, but now they've crafted 320 pieces, with 20 excess as a margin of error, it's about time to stop.

Even though continuing to craft would guarantee future sales,

who knows when they'd actually sell out?

The local market is saturated, other cities might have potential buyers.

But they'd have to wait until after the Red Sun event concludes, before they can make connections, at least a few months later.

Thus, the blacksmith shop suddenly found itself idle, with nothing to do.

If they can't forge weapons, they can only craft some Magic Artifact Coarse Embryos to get by.

But the amount of raw ore mined isn't much, the minerals sent from the mine each day run out soon after starting work.

So a group of people ended up playing cards and chatting idly.

Someone complained:

"I remember working on an assembly line in a factory, when the workshop stopped, we'd be sitting on the ground playing cards just like this. Adding some cardboard on the ground would make it feel even more so."

Someone empathized: "I was also a factory dog before, now in the game, feeling like slacking in a factory again, it's just so darn real."

"This is bad, we're all turning into a card-playing simulator."

"By the way, once the Dog-tail series sells completely, each of us will have about 40~60 Magic Coins."

"Yeah, the loan will be paid off immediately, and there'll be some left."

"Haha, how can there be any left? Are you planning to survive winter? Whether it's choosing heating or paying for heating fees, or buying River Demon, the cash on hand disappears again."

The blacksmiths sat around the furnace chatting idly.

Some wanted to complain about the Enchanters next door.

Why haven't they selected a new Spiritual Root yet? Everyone's waiting for them to sort it out before starting their side of the work!

Some blacksmiths couldn't sit still, venturing out to take construction tasks, even starting from moving bricks and mining.

The workforce dwindled significantly.

But Daojiu certainly couldn't go after low-level tasks, competing with the second batch of newbies for work. As the chief blacksmith, how could he go and move bricks? Or mine?

Therefore, he chose to find his own tasks.

He set his eyes on the recently renowned, even surpassing Su Yuniang, Medical Fairy.

At the medical hall.

"Collaboration?"

"Yes, since there's nothing to do now, I'm free. I plan to craft a top-notch surgical tool for you for free, what do you think?"

"Free?" The Medical Fairy immediately became cautious: "Speak."

"Your medical hall doesn't have a professional surgical knife, right?" Daojiu said: "How about I craft one for you, as a surgical tool?"

The Medical Fairy immediately understood.

This guy set his eyes on her Blood Separation Flower, wanting to practice a technique.

And not just for free.

Once Spiritual Root can craft a few Magical Artifacts, he definitely wants to take one.

This Blood and Flesh Separation Saber is not only suitable for the medical hall, but the blacksmith shop also wants one, for handling various forging materials.

"I'm indeed interested, with surgical tools, it'll be easier to craft my River Demon sleeping bags, do you think you can do it?"

Medical Fairy said: "I loaned 100 Magic Coins for this, applying with the medical hall's name, got it at a special discount price, that's Middle Grade Spiritual Root! Selling it outside could easily fetch one thousand Magic Coins!"

It'll be okay if successful.

If not successful, it's a big loss.

If crafted successfully, and he wants to swipe a Magical Artifact for free?

"No way! I must pay, so tell me, how many Magic Coins do you want." Medical Fairy said: "What's the success rate?"

Daojiu thought to himself, this is how business arrives.

"Don't underestimate me, I'm now a Unity Realm Cultivator."

Daojiu patted the Spirit Rice on his head and said:

"Recently, I've learned Brain Overclocking, speeding up brain function, I guarantee success! The minimum is +1, high chance of +2, and if luck is on my side, could be +3!"

This level is already quite good.

He's one of those with talent, after all, he's Middle Grade Spiritual Root, never forged similar weapons before, the difficulty is there.

"Alright, we'll find someone to serve as witness."

The Medical Fairy stood up: "If it succeeds, I'll give you 100 Magic Coins, if not, you'll have to compensate me with a thousand Magic Coins Spiritual Root price."

"No problem." Daojiu felt business was on its way.

He was confident at least a Magical Artifact could be crafted.

Quality wasn't guaranteed, what's more, he also noticed the higher the level of blacksmiths, the more they needed High Tier materials to challenge their skills.

Money was one aspect, he needed forging experience.

Soon, after some negotiation, with Jiucai Rong's certification, they released the task.

In the blacksmith shop, Daojiu shouted: "Guys, we got work! Big task from the medical hall! Let's come up with a plan quickly."

They threw down their cards, patting off the dust quickly:

"Haha, ready to explode the medical hall's Gold Coins."

"Reliable brother, went to secure the order!"

"That woman always earns too much from us, now it's her turn to spend money at the blacksmith shop."
