The Sword Fairy was shocked.
Unexpectedly, the residence where Su Yuniang lived had a mission... that connected with her own.
The Sword Fairy and the others thought the village below the mountain was alive, the bookstore owner, Ning Jiaojiao, was also alive.
Delivering letters to living people, very normal.
It's odd if there wasn't any correspondence between such relatives.
Furthermore, saving people requires taking them beyond the jurisdiction of the Demon Cultivation Manor's power, which seemed to make sense.
The families in Pingchang City didn't have a good relationship with the manor.
"Why trust me so much?" The Sword Fairy, not being a fool, couldn't help but ask, "I just came down the mountain."
"I have no choice left."
Jiao Wuyu smiled, "I've waited too long. You ended up in Pingchang City by chance, besides, the other side doesn't know my plan. I trust in your good heart. I don't need you to do much, just deliver two letters for me."
Beside them, Jiao Chiwan sighed, stepped forward, and cupped his fists, "Grandmother, you're not well, leave it to me. I'll take her down first."
The Sword Fairy didn't chat further and was led outside by Jiao Chiwan.
Jiao Chiwan said, "You're from the manor, is there any way to get close to it again, deliver this letter to them, and make sure someone trustworthy goes to the village to deliver it."
The Sword Fairy quickly nodded.
The manor above is full of trustworthy people!
Who isn't trustworthy?
The letter delivery mission is a classic.
They're naturally compelled to complete missions, even delivering a letter perfectly in death.
It's just a mere residence below the manor, a bookstore.
"In a few days, Zhang Huaping will go as per the delivery cycle, accompany her back, so it doesn't draw attention." Jiao Chiwan stood up:
"I'll send you to the Red House now."
Soon, the Sword Fairy was brought to the entrance of the Red House.
There were plenty of scholars around.
Jiao Chiwan explained:
"The Red House is essentially a grand magical artifact. If you get recognized by guests, show your talents in poetry and song, you can live there once reaching a certain level, becoming an Earth-bound Spirit... It belongs to the official organization that the Red Sun won't remove."
"If you have no talent, you'll be kicked out."
"Currently, you can only stay on the first floor, not allowed upwards."
The Sword Fairy nodded.
In her perceptual barrier, this was not the Red House but a brothel.
A place for live courtesans to entertain guests.
The Sword Fairy entered the Red House confidently, exploring each room along the corridor, finally settling in a room on the first floor.
The new simulation management:
Red House, initiated!
I want to become the top madam of the Red House, leading the flower girls, flourishing in our beauty.
The blacksmith shop was bustling, everyone was researching new magical artifacts, the Paper House.
The Crow Feather Robe had also been rushed out, with excellent warmth.
The delay was because crow feathers smelled terrible, requiring several washes, airings, and various deodorizing methods before being barely usable.
"Not expensive at two magic coins."
In the clothing workshop, everyone suddenly became delighted, finding the warm brick moving not tiring.
In the manager's room.
Daojiu, Su Yuniang, Jiucai Rong, Food God, Medical Fairy, the five giants were sitting in the room.
"It's these two spiritual roots, choose one."
Su Yuniang took out a report.
The Enchanter finally succeeded, preparing two spiritual roots.
[Double Kidney Grass (Water Mixed Spirit Root), Feature: Water Resonance]
[Spirit Root Introduction: Cultivators with this mixed spirit root have no ability. After crafting a magical artifact with this spirit root, it will instead have water level resonance.] Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on NoveIꜰire.net
[Image (a plant resembling coral veins, connecting two animal kidneys)]
[Brief Review: The sound transmission token is priced at a thousand magic coins, we could perhaps create a cheaper word transmission painting board, an ink-wash screen, write on this side, display on that side.]
[Potential: C, this spirit root has a beastly nature, seemingly a spiritual grass stained by an ancient biological kidney, degenerating over generations into a weed, perhaps could be cultivated back to an advanced spirit root.]
Everyone glanced at it, falling into thought.
"I suggest if we make this magical artifact, we name this writing screen Kidney Six." Su Yuniang joked with a pun.
Everyone ignored her, looking at the next one.
[Gathering Filth Grass (Earth Mixed Spirit Root), Feature: Evil Qi Absorption]
[Spirit Root Introduction: This spirit root is useless, cultivators with this spirit root have no ability and are prone to misfortune, dying miserably.]
[Image (resembles octopus-like weed)]
[Brief Review: Evil qi absorption, thinking optimistically, after planting this spirit root, perhaps it's a container for muddy qi? Absorbing heaven and earth's kinfolk, giving them a home]
[Potential: C, extremely uncertain]
Both are not satisfactory.
After all, it's only been a few days, and mixed spirit roots are all about finding treasure in trash.
"What do you think?" Food God opened the discussion.
"I think the token is possible."
Medical Fairy spoke first, "Our current blacksmithing level can't craft highly practical battlefield weapons, so, we might as well bypass this hard flaw and take an unusual path."
Communication actually has a significant impact on the battlefield.
Most people aren't high tier cultivators, haven't trained in specialized remote sound transmission techniques, and don't have the money to afford communication tokens used among factions.
However, expecting it to be popular isn't realistic.
Cultivators have sound and image transmission magical artifacts, even space teleportation arrays...
Your writing tool is like a primitive little mobile, outdated by years.
Its drawbacks are obvious, primitive, retro, low-end.
But its advantages are equally evident, mainly simple to forge, cheaply priced.
Palm-sized, it saves magic copper, we price it at 50 magic coins, isn't this pretty cost-effective, better than a communication token costing 1000 magic coins?
Of course, the communication range is short.
It can only transmit within the city, unlike others' long-range communication tokens.
Another advantage is it's just a square metal card, even simpler than the previously popular tail series, blacksmiths can easily make it.
No technical content needed.
"I want both since the quality is insufficient, quantity makes up for it."
"We now have another hundred people who can simultaneously open the Painting Card series and Muddy Artifact series."
Jiucai Rong thought for a bit and said, "This painting card can be handed to those newbie blacksmiths for crafting, just right for practice, seasoned blacksmiths should study the Gathering Filth Grass, absorb muddy qi, and try crafting Muddy Artifacts."
"Starting work on that thing?"
Daojiu was surprised, feeling the stride was a bit large, "Muddy Artifacts belong to a new project, is it safe? We have limited time, and even if we produce Muddy Artifacts, they might not sell well, not suitable for this Ash Disaster version."
"Anyway, we have the word transmission painting card as a fallback."
Jiucai Rong said, "Moreover, now on the eve of the Red Sun, it's the time when the muddy qi is thickest between heaven and earth, perfect for saving some kinfolk and giving them a home, even if not used this time, it will serve as material for the future."
Su Yuniang said, "After all, we're compassionate and can't bear to see heaven and earth's kinfolk swept away by the Saints, saving them now means they'll eventually be useful."
Now is the time to collect, or wait until 150 years later for this concentration.
Shut down the server!
"So, start forging?" Daojiu said.
"No, open the skull for forging." Su Yuniang stood up, her expression solemn.
"Good gracious, stop playing word games, hurry up and get to work." Jiucai Rong laughed and waved these jokers off, resuming handling various task files.
