I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players

Chapter 931: Chapter 25: The Painter: I Established Xirong Manor in the Immortal Realm

Immortal Realm.

Immortal Vein Domain.

The Immortal Realm consists of a total of thirteen domains, claiming to be a prosperous world formed by the amalgamation of thirteen systems.

Essentially, it radiates outward from the Immortal Vein Domain, the center, into twelve major domains.

Each domain has its own local specialty, and in the Immortal Realm, only the Immortal Vein Domain can produce local specialties—Immortal Stones.

The other twelve domains are merely outsiders who relocated here, occupying the Immortal Vein’s specialties.

It’s like Giant Dragons jointly guarding their treasure, treating a mountain of gold as their lair.

At this moment, somewhere in the Immortal Vein Domain’s mining area.

Jian Xin, drenched in sweat from practicing swordsmanship with a hoe, pushes the mined ore to the claiming area and receives his daily share of Immortal Stones.

He wiped off the sweat, about to leave.

A fellow worker next to him said, "Want to go for a drink?"

"Or maybe gamble a bit? Recently, my luck has been pretty good. Even if you don’t play, you can accompany me. I heard they’re having an event today; just entering gets you two free chips."

"There are also beautiful female immortals."

...

Jian Xin shook his head, "No need."

The fellow workers behind him smiled gently, "Then come play next time!"

Once Jian Xin’s figure completely disappeared, the expressions of the few workers gradually turned cold.

The leader among them even spat harshly, "What a thing."

A guy next to him laughed, "Feels like at least a two-catastrophe-and-one-disaster level, unlike us with just one catastrophe and one disaster, the potential is pretty much fixed, no future."

Indulgence is the choice of most miners.

In reality, most ascended immortals come here to mine, grinding their temperament.

Then, once their temperament is tempered, they might be recruited as sons-in-law or Tributor members of small sects, constantly forming new blood.

Mining, in many respects, is to make those who rely on their talents and arrogance recognize their own weakness and mediocrity.

After all.

Even those who ascended with a single catastrophe and disaster are invincible at their level, the weakest kind.

Don’t assume that local immortal ascension is so noble.

The prodigies of the major sects are indeed formidable, no doubt about it, the population base is there...

But most medium and lower forces covet these weakest ascending immortals.

These few fellow workers here have already become sons-in-law long ago; their current job is merely a task arranged by their families:

Look for any fellow worker with potential, draw them into their family, and become the next son-in-law, with main and collateral branches selecting descendants to marry off.

And how to draw them in?

First, see their character.

If tempting them doesn’t work, trick them into downfall, drinking, gambling, womanizing, accumulating debts, then have the family repay the debts, accepting them as sons-in-law.

Of course, they can’t use force.

The Immortal Vein Domain is the safest and most forbidden-combat place among the thirteen domains, unable to forcibly kill or abduct these new immortals.

All combat fluctuations are monitored.

Since the area producing Immortal Stones is very focused on safety, how could combat be allowed?

Even some newly ascended immortals have many hometown folks who are already at the top of various forces; certainly, they won’t permit the abduction of new seedlings from their ascending lineage.

They merely place newcomers here for training, grinding temperament with mining, and will later take them away.

So for many reasons, the Immortal Vein Domain has become the safest, absolutely combat-free novice area, which is also why most new immortals mine here.

These few people glanced at Jian Xin’s back, and someone suddenly said, "He doesn’t seem simple, maybe after some time of mining and tempering, he’ll leave to join an Immortal Sect."

Another person said, "Indeed, we shouldn’t focus on him anymore. Even if he really accumulates various debts, upon joining a major sect, they will handle it for him, benefiting other forces."

Everyone nodded, preparing to shift their target.

Just then.

A fellow worker suddenly said, "At the thirty-third mining area to the north, I heard that another batch of potential new miners just ascended, let’s go check them out."

Another strong man frowned, "That’s a bit far from here."

"But it’s worth it," the worker said, "I heard those ascending immortals are very diligent in mining, and notably fast."

"Oh?" Another person’s interest was piqued, "What’s their name, let’s take a look?"

"The leader seems to be named Emperor Rong?"

"Hmm... there’s someone named Emperor Daojiu? And a Food God? Emperor Kun?"

"Apparently, they’ve formed a faction called Xirong Manor, specializing in mining Immortal Ores, very qualified miners."

The few were astonished, believing that despite the distance, it was worth a look, perhaps fulfilling a few son-in-law quotas.

...

...

The thirty-third mining area.

Mining always sees various small and large teams form, and the overseers don’t interfere with these small groups.

As long as there’s no fighting, they can mine however they like.

Over years of practice, they’ve discovered that cooperative mining indeed drastically improves efficiency.

Since every Immortal has different Divine Techniques, coordinating them is indeed the most effective.

At this moment.

Several miners arrived at the area named Xirong Manor, finding that a few young immortals had already occupied a vein, establishing a manor on it.

Indeed, when everyone mines, they do cordon off an area to dig, and building a manor is nothing unusual.

What shocked them was the few immortals seemed incredibly joyful with mining, laughing, even eating earth with their mouths.
