As the analysis continued, everyone found it increasingly interesting.
The thrill of decrypting always leaves one exhilarated.
Moreover, the fact that they deduced it step by step from mere clues gave them a great sense of achievement.
Indeed, this manor is not just about forging iron.
Digging into the ancestral grave plot uncovered so many fascinating things.
[Nightly Frenzied Cultivation Sixth Body]:
"If this is true, the Hidden Vein must have a large population! Because only they in the Five-Body Realm can actually live up to the 800-year life limit, yet now there are only a few dozen?"
"They must have experienced a great war, like the bandit extermination battle a hundred years ago."
"Or perhaps, these Demon Cultivators migrated here, but why migrate? Is there a home they can't return to?"
"Or did they suffer some attack? In that escape, the Hidden Vein disciples controlled their bodies together—during the Zero Ancestor battle, likely most perished."
Everyone thought it made sense.
This delved into a heap of hidden settings and various foreshadowings.
Many sighed in their hearts at how well this ancestor's new map was opened.
Now let's calculate the settings of the three ancestors.
[Ancestor Qi Adoptive Father Map]: Bold fishing man, connecting to the underground river.
[Bottle Ancestor Puppet Master Map]: Personality unknown, just conquered the city, just blew up the opponent, currently in respawn cooldown.
[Meat Field Sister Map]: Manages a group of Hidden Vein Demon Cultivator disciples, practicing and doing alchemy inside, a small map.
It can be said that the setting of each ancestor is rich, with many points worth exploring.
The newly arrived onlookers were shocked:
"Oh my god, is this a game someone came up with? Quickly send the planners to the hospital! It's too late otherwise o(* ̄︶ ̄*)o"
"I didn't believe it before, but now I do. I suspect the entire planning team is patients from a mental hospital writing these bizarre world views and scripts."
"Love it, love it, rarely is a planner more absurd than silly players! (*^▽^*)"
But the older onlookers were not surprised.
They were discussing the future developments, what they should do next, and how to strategize.
"Eye Legend Four of you, you must act a bit more ruthless, or the Hidden Vein Demon Cultivator disciples won't respect you."
"Exactly, otherwise it'll show we're lacking in confidence! These Demon Cultivators will definitely bully the four of you, making you clean toilets or something."
"I also want to enter the Hidden Vein."
"Don't joke, you can only get in as the last place."
"Then I'll try to be at the bottom, knock on the door, wonder if it'll work?"
"There's NPCs there! All former Demon Cultivator disciples, surely there are various tasks, and even some history of the manor to inquire about."
"However, it'll take more than a week's black screen time to successfully get in, isn't this setting a bit off? Can the planner change it, isn't attaching a head just a quick snap on?"
"This might be a dungeon entry limitation? If you could enter at will it might not be as valuable, things would get chaotic."
"Hahaha, who told me before that the hidden setting of Meat Field Sister here was Alchemist? That was a stretch of logic, guessed wrong now, it turns out this place manages the Hidden Vein."
[Nightly Frenzied Cultivation Sixth Body]: "Could it be there's no alchemy here? Everyone said there was an alchemy furnace, and it's related to alchemy, at most I'm half wrong. Maybe they'll really use the Meat Field for alchemy."
...
...
Ning Zheng secretly frowned.
He simply re-examined the internal environment of the Paper House from the perspective of the Eye Legend Four.
The Paper House of the Red-clothed Sister was slightly larger than those of the other two ancestors.
It was originally a mansion with lots of rooms, plenty of space for many people to live together comfortably.
Additionally, there were various small alchemy rooms, and other facilities and buildings.
In fact, the mansion of Ancestor Qi was also very large, where River Demon Meat Fields could be grown, with a group of maids serving, the life was incredibly pleasant.
Actually.
If they hadn't boldly ventured into the enemy camp, Ning Zheng would have never known that this group of Demon Cultivators still had remnants.
This is exactly the flaw in Qi Fortune Value.
The worst situation now is that they discover the main vein is doomed, the Hidden Vein strikes out, kills all the blacksmiths on the mountain, and takes over the manor again.
Is this perhaps another manor defense battle?
Having just eliminated one Bottle Ancestor, now there's a Sister Stone Ancestor to deal with?
That's too outrageous.
Moreover, there's no guarantee I can take her down this time.
"This is quite troublesome." Ning Zheng began to weigh the risks of this sudden event.
Ultimately judged as: completely non-threatening.
There was almost no chance of exposure.
This so-called Hidden Vein, its restrictions were massive.
And they couldn't even know the mountain was already wiped out.
Besides, these were all "useless" Demon Cultivators, left here because they couldn't stir up much trouble themselves.
The real problems remain twofold.
1. The Red-clothed Sister, this ancestor indeed has significant intimidation power.
2. The underground Meat Field body, an unknown mighty trump card.
As it stands, this so-called Thousand-Headed Meat Field Giant is most likely not the Red-clothed Sister herself.
But rather the clan's passed down trump card for generations!
Currently, this Red-clothed Sister hasn't noticed anything unusual; if you continue to win her over, and succeed.
You'll bring the Hidden Vein she manages, and the Thousand-Headed Giant, under your control.
Thereby, becoming the underlying strength of your family!
It's both a crisis and an opportunity.
If you handle her, you can completely eliminate the risk of taking over the nest's home.
Even her technologies, Hidden Vein disciples, will become channels for enhancing the blacksmiths' foundation and knowledge.
Meanwhile.
Ning Zheng discovered another issue.
The three ancestors have a combined 500 Qi Fortune Value, with Ancestor Qi holding 200 points.
According to Ning Zheng's estimation, the remaining two ancestors each have 150 Qi Fortune Value.
But how could the Red-clothed Sister, who holds a major weapon, only be worth 150 Qi Fortune Value?
Yet Qi Fortune Value doesn't lie.
This means that perhaps her Thousand-Headed Giant really is damaged.
Possessing no combat power and still under repair... that's why the Qi Fortune Value is so low.
This theory is not without basis.
As a certain blacksmith guessed.
The Demon Cultivators migrated here after possibly experiencing a great war.
Conquering Jiao Family Stronghold was the second battle.
Pingchang City attempting to prey on them, a century ago exterminating the bandits, conquering Jiao Family Stronghold, was the third war.
After successive battles, it's reasonable the Thousand-Head Giant is unusable.
Even these successive fights left the mountain's Demon Men with various lingering injuries, only for Ning Zheng's curse to cause their infighting, directly wiping them out!
Ning Zheng's expression turned peculiar:
"So, they endured three battles, and I, hiding at the mountain's foot cursing, initiated a fourth 'battle,' reaping the final benefit?"
But the overall logic is mostly clear.
He breathed a sigh of relief, "It's not a big issue, could even consider it another Ancestor Qi to strategize on."
Though this is not something Ning Zheng, the Manor Master, needs to handle, those blacksmiths were happier to see a new ancestor than themselves.
