Due to the great success of their initial dungeon raid, and capturing two criminals, they piled up a bonfire and started celebrating.

With improved living conditions, the blacksmiths now have some spare money.

They are no longer satisfied with ordinary crow jerky, or even with other wild vegetables or corpse-colored mushrooms from the mountains.

The blacksmiths have begun to have higher pursuits for gourmet food, so they have started purchasing regular ingredients.

This time, the Food God not only went to the front line for the ancient tomb dungeon, but also sourced some exclusive ingredients from other cities through the channels of various families.

After all, he has a deep obsession with the profitable business of the cafeteria.

"Braised Wind Fire Fish, one magic coin for a large plate."

"Steamed and roasted duck eggs, ten for one magic coin, large quantity to get full, super cheap."

Various delicacies on the dining table were being loudly promoted by the Food God, and blacksmiths by each bonfire were spending money to pay the bill.

The purchasing power of magic coins is actually quite high.

One magic coin can buy several big sacks of ordinary mortal rice, enough for a family of three to live frugally for a month.

Even regularly farmed demon beast meat, eggs, and cultivator ingredients can be bought in abundance.

The blacksmiths, in groups of twos and threes, huddled with their teams, sitting shoulder-to-shoulder in front of the bonfire, eating, drinking, and singing.

"Whoa, we've entered a new era."

"Right, before we were so poor we didn't have clothes to wear, and we could only make Dizzy collect wild vegetables for food, now we're prosperous enough to afford proper gourmet food."

"Got a bit of spare cash in hand."

"Offline, I eat takeaway boxes, but here, it's gourmet feast, super delicious, just awesome."

Everyone chatted, grinning from ear to ear.

The food was so delicious!

It must be said that the exotic ingredients in this otherworld are a major highlight.

Especially the hundred rich people that joined in, they've all become loyal customers of the manor.

The wealthy folks claimed that the taste of this otherworld's food, casually cooked, surpasses anything they've eaten at high-end restaurants.

This is the manor at your taste buds.

They've become affluent and taken a big leap in terms of food.

Other games, as long as you're willing to endure hardships, there's endless suffering.

Those shameless dog planners are always finding ways to increase your liver rate and make your game harder.

But here, as long as you're willing to work hard, you grow rapidly.

Dog planners are genuinely as considerate as NPC stewards.

They even secretly adjust the card drop rates for you, fearing your luck is too poor to develop the manor well.

This strong sense of feedback stimulates their dopamine, making them more diligent in brick moving, mining, and blacksmithing.

Especially now, they're still discussing today's dungeon activity.

Based on past experience, it is preliminarily estimated that this tomb raiding dungeon's rotation pool can last for a month.

Everyone is analyzing various information and clues, chatting passionately.

"I wonder how Su Yuniang is doing in prison?"

Jiucai Rong smiled, with meaning deep in his expression: "When she figures it out enough, we can play the demolition team."

"Hmm, it might take a day or two to figure it out."

Shao Chaikun was eating, speaking unclearly with a face full of happiness.

"Anyway, tomorrow I'll continue brick moving, not advancing deeper inside... waiting for intel from Su Yuniang."

The few people nearby also felt the same.

Honestly moving bricks is so much better, right?

Risking your life to explore for intel, how stupid is that?

Mainly because this dungeon deliberately weakens player resurrection mechanisms, making the gap between them and NPCs not that big.

After all, bodies can't be recycled into the forging furnace, dying once is such a loss.

Relying on Su Yuniang for internal infiltration, provoking internal splits among the prisoners, can also gather intel.

"It's not that we can't afford to die, it's just more cost-effective to be brick-moving."

The Medical Fairy said: "By the way, the experiment you asked me to work on, I've made some headway here."

"What?"

Jiucai Rong was startled, then said joyfully:

"Is there hope for the 'Assassinate the Lord' plan? Can we finally create the embers of the Lord of the Manor?"

The Immortal Aunt smirked proudly:

"Well, hopefully, this tomb is without surprises!"

"If there are surprises, big families should deploy Three Elements Realm Great Cultivators to besiege the tomb."

"We'll deploy the Lord's embers to show them what a powerhouse is!"

...

So, what the hell is this 'Assassinate the Lord' plan?

Ning Zheng had just sent them back to the manor, then smoothly dealt with a blacksmith who wanted to have his child, and returned dust-cleared to the manor to eat, looking utterly bewildered.

These people have issues.

Saying they'll deploy the Lord's embers to amaze the world outside with the ancient tomb between families?

I allowed you tomb raiding, didn't let you raid on me.

"Could it be that after they empty this tomb, they plan to bury the Lord's body in the prison-grand tomb?"

He looked up with a strange expression.

No way.

Need to see what they're up to.

Reopening the forum, started flipping through recent events.

But there was no intel on stickied posts.

Searched a few more pages backward, all talking about today's ancient tomb event.

Ning Zheng thought about it, searched posts by the Medical Fairy, finally found a lukewarm post.

[Medical Fairy: How to Create the Lord's Ember Baby]

"I call this plan the 'Assassinate the Lord' plan."

"As we all know, everyone at our Green Hat Manor jumps into the forging furnace to give birth to ember babies."

"As the leader of our Green Hat Manor, the Lord himself must jump into the forging furnace, produce ember babies, split off green, only then is he the true owner of our Green Hat Manor!"

Ning Zheng's eyelids twitched wildly at these simple two lines of text.

The Lord jumping into the forging furnace, not gonna happen.

Still producing embers?

Even more absurd.

"So, I've come up with a brand-new plan. The inspiration came from my baby. My two embers can fuse, so why can't the embers of the Lord of the Manor fuse?"

"The great power that the Manor Master lent us, the apparition that appears when cutting someone, is essentially also a kind of ember shell, originating from the same source, and must be able to fuse."

"It's even better for fusion! Because it doesn't have the opposing attributes of Yin and Yang."

"Therefore, I plan to study the remaining fusion drugs that were previously bought for the Sword Fairy's fusion and re-conduct experiments on fusing same-source void bubbles."

"In the future, when we cut down the ancestors, a whole bunch of Three Elements Realm arrow apparitions weaker than the ancestors will appear. Then the arrow apparitions can fuse, isn't that the super high-quality ember baby of the Lord of the Manor?"

"Let's take it a step further, why should we only cut down the ancestors?"

"In the future, the prisoners in the [Demon Suppression Tower] can all be cut! As prisoners increase, with thousands upon thousands of prisoners, what happens after cutting them and conducting fusion?"

"The [Demon Suppression Tower] will become the launching platform of the Lord of Manor's nuclear missile launch tower in the future."

"Nuclear weapon is being activated."

"Ding! Manor Master, loading in progress."

"Ding! Manor Master, slashing wildly, fusing, undergoing fusion reaction."

"Ding! Manor Master, taking off."

"Ding! Manor Master, five seconds until reaching the battlefield..."

"Ding! Manor Master, passing through Pingchang City, Yunshan City, mountains, rivers, reaching the destination - Xinyi Continent City, Xinyi Royal Mansion, enemy Jian Xin has exploded."

"Ground-to-ground ultralong-range intercontinental missile, super cool."

...

And there were quite a few comments under the post as well.

It was popular for a while before being overshadowed by the new tomb raiding hype.

"As expected of you! Medical Fairy, what cyber nuclear weapon?"

"Holy crap, super weapon, suppression level combat power!"

"Truly hardcore mechanical ascension."

"The Manor Master hasn't appeared yet, turns out it's this way of appearing? If this is the hidden opening setup by the planner, then that dog of a planner surely needs to be hospitalized."

"Hahaha, can't stop laughing, Manor Master, launch!"

"Text a one-click check on the Medical Fairy's mental state."

"TD"

...

Ning Zheng continued reading, the next thousands of words were full of reasoning on the feasibility of this matter.

It cannot be denied that this plan is truly useful!

And through this post, the Medical Fairy successfully obtained funding from Jiucai Rong to allow the medical center to conduct research.

Although the Medical Fairy was not available, the Immortal Aunt was.

She is still the Soul Separation Flower.

She has an innate advantage in soul healing and fusion!

Moreover, it's not that difficult!

Previously, a more difficult Yin Yang fusion of the same source had been done, now it's just the fusion of embers void bubbles with the same attribute.

The results come quickly.

Hence, there's what Jiucai Rong said.

If this tomb event requires the deployment of Three Elements Realm cultivators, they might deploy the embers of the Lord of the Manor depending on the danger level!

Show other families' cultivators the formidable combat power of the Manor Master.

Obviously.

Their action efficiency is super high, so they already have some results.

Or rather, many of them are progressing together, and now, with three hundred people, each profession in each area is doing their own thing, whether for fun or brainstorming, they always find ways they think can make money.

After all, with higher freedom comes limitless possibilities.

"Solved the case after all."

Ning Zheng took a deep breath; his expression became even more peculiar.

What formidable combat power do I have?

Merely a Four Viscera Realm, and you guys want me to fight a city's City Guard?

But the poison intensity of cutting someone depends on the mother body, even if currently only a few Three Elements Ancestor were cut down, exploding a bunch of shadows weaker than Three Elements and conducting fusion... it theoretically can fight.

Thinking of this, Ning Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

What [[Kill the Manor Master]] plan, just a sensational title!

Thought they wanted to kill me.

After all, according to them, this Manor Master hasn't even shown the health bar, so surely it wouldn't involve myself.

"But, fusing?"

Ning Zheng's eyes flashed with a light.

His spiritual root has neither corresponding spells nor cultivation techniques.

Look at others like the Blood Separation Flower with three branch cultivation techniques, Blood and Flesh Puppet, Blood and Flesh Field, Blood and Flesh Dominating Body.

And look at others like the Shi Family, they also have three branches.

And myself?

Don't even talk about branches of cultivation techniques, don't even have a cultivation technique, just brute force cultivation.

A mere blank realm without any spells, just direct shots, drawing a bow and shooting arrows.

"This fusion might at least be considered a branch of my cultivation technique."

"After all, I attack a lot, and the number of clones is too many but lacks quality. If I create a cultivation technique and conduct fusion in battle, the combat power might soar."

Ning Zheng pondered.

"This group of blacksmiths is even researching a cultivation technique for me!"

Ning Zheng felt quite pleased.

Pooling everyone's wisdom to develop a cultivation technique saved himself a huge cost in Qi Fortune Value.

Hopefully, to propagate more of the Soul Separation Flower.

The Soul Separation Flower is his lower-tier spiritual root, if the cultivation technique for this spiritual root is researched, he can also use it.

And don't worry about the fusion "embers" having his own consciousness.

After all, he's not truly dead, so he's definitely not real embers, just an empty shell.

Estimate it can be controlled like a normal shadow clone.
