The bonfire blazed fiercely.

While eating, Su Yuniang listened to the speeches of their leaders, thinking:

"These guys, starting to snatch newbies now, I've never seen them so diligent before."

Ordinary blacksmiths, grabbing them doesn't really matter.

But this batch is different.

They're rich blacksmiths, who can forge iron, lay bricks, do work and also spend money, definitely big spenders.

Everyone who has run a guild knows, whether a guild is strong depends mainly on how many big spenders it has and how flashy they are in spending money.

If they join your team, and someone spends generously to develop their region's technology tree, wouldn't that overshadow other professions?

This concerns the future of our branch!

Su Yuniang silently cursed them for being unscrupulous, "I also want to snatch some people, but I'm an Enchanter, it's not easy to snatch."

She felt this game wasn't very friendly to her Enchanter team.

Enchanters are a bunch of scholars with no technical knowledge, just jumping into the forging furnace.

Originally, they could still play Shennong, testing various Mixed Spirit Roots brought back by Dizzy, studying encyclopedias with other Enchanters.

But now, with the rise of Spirit Farmers, Spirit Farmers gradually replaced them, studying Spirit Root diagrams and Spirit Root reproduction.

It made Enchanters even more helpless.

Their replaceability was too strong!

"Enchanters are a version trap, not even dogs want to play them."

Su Yuniang complained silently, thinking she must lead the Enchanter team to work on some new projects, figure out how to grow stronger, and keep people around.

She didn't go to give a speech or compete for the rich players.

Eventually, these wealthy players would read and develop Three Flowers.

To read, they'd have to come to their study book house.

She could recruit people to rebel when they were reading.

Su Yuniang felt she had a well-thought-out plan.

...

...

Watching them analyze endlessly, claiming to treat the Saint's eyes or forge eyes to pull people in, Ning Zheng found it ridiculous.

It's absurd.

Have they always been so bold?

But this welcome party was indeed quite lively.

As long as they're happy, after all, games should be about having fun.

As for real-world worries and the manor's development, Ning Zheng carried them silently.

In fact, the big issues at the court had nothing to do with him, he just needed to think about whether the backer behind him would be swept out.

Ning Zheng pondered:

"After the Red Sun, it's a burst period for recuperation, the world is clear, the wilderness is quite safe, without Muddy Qi and Embers, perfect for adventure."

"New trading teams formed by low-level cultivators will begin to appear in groups, gathering resources in the wild, exploring secret realms."

"This is also the most suitable time for developing Three Flowers."

"A bunch of scholars will enter the Immortal Sect at this time, and a lot of new cultivators will emerge, weapon sales should do quite well."

"Especially our low-tier Magical Artifacts, perfect for selling to low-tier Five-Body Realm cultivators."

"Our manor still needs to speed up the production of painting cards and do a big job!"

"Only when our manor earns more from painting cards, can it gradually grow into a major power. If the backer sees huge profits, they might approach us, and then we can subtly hint at whether we'll be implicated."

Of course, it would be best if the backer doesn't come looking.

Quietly make a fortune.

Once he organized his thoughts, he turned to the strategy section on the forum.

A group of people was enthusiastically posting various analysis threads.

The leaders in various regions who had just logged off at seven o'clock were also continuing to push their rhetoric.

Saint was assassinated... it's the main storyline in the medical center, the main storyline for blacksmiths, the main storyline for alchemists, all a mess.

Arguing endlessly!

Ning Zheng felt speechless, they really wanted to cure the Saint!

They really have a few screws loose.

However, that online deduction emperor [Nightly Frenzied Cultivation Sixth Body] was still expressing himself.

Very diligent.

"Ugh, I have no money, can't get the third batch of spots, you guys are insane, can't compete, can't compete at all."

"Let's talk about the main issue, today everyone's discussing the new main storyline, saw a new NPC, the current Saint, didn't expect such a powerful NPC to appear on the whole land so quickly!"

"This game's production team doesn't follow the usual cards, by normal game NPC appearance rules, the stronger they are, the more they like to appear later, right?"

"Even our Manor Master hasn't appeared, yet the Saint has, don't tell me when our Manor Master appears, he'll be stronger than the current Saint? Beat the Saint, rule the world? (dog head)"

...

Upon seeing this, Ning Zheng's face suddenly darkened. Is this something that can be said recklessly?

They really aren't afraid of death.

Ning Zheng quietly collected the dog head emoji.

[Nightly Frenzied Cultivation Sixth Body]:

"According to my hypothesis, the Saint's assassination plot is just a signal for a new game version launch, directly affecting us low-tier forces in three aspects."

"1. The disappearance of the sun and moon."

"Someone said they just disappeared, maybe just dimmed a bit. Well, I want to slap him. The sun and moon must have a purpose, otherwise why hang there every day, working overtime crazily?"

"The disappearance of the sun and moon may lead to certain special environmental changes, which are closely related to us, the common folks."

"2. Court purges."

"Court turbulence is inevitable. They'll sweep away some people, and various factions might seize the opportunity to smear each other, leading to a large-scale outbreak of factionalism."

"3. The rise of demon cultivators and demon sects."

"With the court being restrained and its prestige damaged, I reckon a bunch of demonic entities will start emerging."

"Some say the court was held back by the Red Sun before, so why didn't the demon cultivators appear? During the Red Sun, the court was restrained, and the demon cultivator clans were also held back by their ancestors!"

"Now they are liberated, but the court is not."

"This should be the main gameplay, the rise of demon cultivators... We're demon cultivators! Our time to rise is next, with the Manor Master leading us to pillage everywhere?"

"We can look forward to it."

"Although we are on a fixed map, not a sandbox, it doesn't mean we can't raid dungeons, rob families, steal from ancient tombs, these are dungeons."

"It's confirmed that the gameplay will increase a lot. The developers know how to control the game's pace. A map centered on managing a manor can't even go outside, yet players aren't tired of it. Instead, everyone finds it more engaging."

"The developers are practically our gods. Just look at other games' operations getting worse and worse. Learn properly from Sword Casting Manor!"

"Nightly Frenzied Cultivation Sixth Body" has already become quite a famous strategizing talent. Every post he makes gets a lot of likes.

Some even say:

"Brother, next time there's an invitation, I'll buy one for you. I'll take you to play together."

"Wow, the rich are generous."

"Brother Fu, let's see your V50 power."

Ning Zheng glanced briefly and found the analysis to be relatively comprehensive.

He continued to scroll down and discovered a familiar ID, it turned out to be Mudworker.

His post surprisingly has no less heat than discussions of the Saint's plot.

Mudworker: "Screenshot, screenshot, everyone, quickly look at our Shadow Rice Wine. It's finally mutating under the influence of the Muddy Artifact."

"I've already dug it out separately, carefully transplanted it. This spirit root is still absorbing spiritual qi. We used purchased equipment to enhance spiritual qi liquefaction, it seems to be advancing into a middle-grade wine rice spirit root."

Su Yuniang: "Big brother, keep up the good work. You're the master of hybrid spirit roots. A middle-grade shadow spirit root! In the future, the rice we eat at the manor will be high-end!"

Medical Fairy: "Oh my, you're not cultivating Blood Separation Flower and playing with this stuff?"

Daojiu: "As a blacksmith, I suggest cultivating Goosegrass, advancing it to lower-grade spirit root. We'll have the second generation of frenzy weapons! We can sell more, have more money, and buy more equipment and materials."

Jiucai Rong: "Don't get too happy. Mutating into middle-grade has positive mutations, but also negative ones."

"A single spirit root might have cultivated hundreds of advanced mutations. There's no guarantee one will be suitable; mutation just means it's a start, reliant on luck. You might end up with a trash middle-grade!"

"Might not even be as good as lower grade!"

This statement was like cold water poured over everyone.

This direction of mutation relies on luck!

Also on the spirit farmer's experience and technique.

"Damn, isn't this a lottery draw?"

"Defying heaven, sure enough, you have to draw cards here too."

"Spirit farmer needs European Emperor luck."

Mudworker: "Folks, I will work hard! We will definitely cultivate spirit roots with super strong divine techniques, lush green, and let you wear them as a crown."

Got to rely on luck.

Ning Zheng watched the spirit farmer's post with interest.

Spirit roots are the foundation of a powerful force.

The Blood Separation Flower is the magic cultivator family foundation, but ultimately not Ning Zheng's foundation.

Shadow Rice Wine is the foundation of this lineage.

Of course, he also wants to cultivate subordinate spirit roots from his spirit root, upper grade, middle grade, lower grade... forming a heritage system.

Additionally, cultivating a middle-grade Yin spirit root paired perfectly with the middle-grade Blood Separation Flower!

If the Medical Fairy's Yin Yang spirit root were both middle-grade before, her potential could have been greater.

Therefore, this is necessary spending.

Just relying on the manor's spirit farmer's luck in planting, it's unknown how many plants need to be cultivated, and how much time will be spent.

Ning Zheng can't wait.

The current mutation he could intervene in, making the mutant result luckier!

"Got to spend money again."

Ning Zheng originally planned to save for over two months, ten thousand Qi Fortune Value, to upgrade the server's population count.

But when spending is necessary, it must be done.

Especially since after the Saint's assassination, he always felt things wouldn't be peaceful in the future.

Though it's likely that it's only chaos in the city, with various evil cults rampaging, this place shouldn't be much affected, as everyone here is a demon cultivator. What are you attacking us for?

We're all brothers, demon cultivators one big family!

But even so, being buddy-buddy with those demon cultivators and pretending to attack the city together, still needed more trump cards for development!

"Got to take a trip up the mountain," Ning Zheng muttered.

He walked to the courtyard, the night wind blowing, snow covering the ground.

He looked at the well-lid, already covered, Ning Jiaojiao sleeping in the cellar, then went out the door.

Taking advantage of the night when the blacksmiths were all asleep, he decided to climb the mountain to research that mutant spirit grass, attempting to advance it, secretly achieving fame and fortune.
