"The stars seem to be fewer now."
Stepping out of the courtyard, Ning Zheng looked up at the starry sky.
He then opened the personal star map that Su Yuniang had posted on the forum earlier and compared it with the current stars.
"A rough comparison shows about half the stars are missing."
He looked up, his brain calculating swiftly.
"Probably busy elsewhere, besides, this is the Xinyi Continent's sky; other continents might also have fewer stars."
Midway along the night path, snow began to fall from the sky.
Ning Zheng didn't pay much attention and kept walking until he suddenly saw Dizzy and Erya from afar.
The two were slacking off from their tree-chopping task, building a snowman, with a lovey-dovey atmosphere, full of the stench of romance.
"?"
Ning Zheng quietly avoided the two and continued up the mountain.
The night was like water, he opened the manor's gate and went straight to the spirit farming area, crossing various fields to a cultivation chamber.
A variety of equipment lined the walls, dazzling to the eye.
Ning Zheng wasn't too knowledgeable, and he hadn't even been the one to purchase them.
He had to go back to the forum and watch various videos in the spirit farming section.
Carefully studying the operation guides recorded there, he opened a cabinet and saw the mutated spiritual root inside, the wine-red seedling emanating a gloomy aura.
"The most suitable direction for mutation."
Ning Zheng murmured softly.
"-8000 Qi Fortune Value"
He showed a hint of pain; that almost matched the cost of a small realm in the Four Viscera Realm, enough for him to break through the second viscera.
In reality, if others knew he cultivated a suitable middle-grade spiritual root with such little cost, they would be astounded, exclaiming him as the strongest spirit farmer.
After all, spirit farming not only required solid skills but also relied heavily on luck, with seven parts skill and the remaining ninety-three parts luck.
Ning Zheng was professionally aligned.
A small realm in the Four Viscera Realm, his operation this time exchanged a middle-grade spiritual root that could become the foundational heritage of a Pingchang City family, an incredible feat.
But Ning Zheng clearly didn't care; he didn't intend to make it a life profession. Now he was just helping his family's spirit farmer with a little cheat, feeling somewhat pained.
Following the operation, he closed the equipment's door and left without looking back.
The plant didn't immediately mutate successfully, requiring time to grow.
Just like when he wished for that server to descend, it landed on the back mountain only the next day.
"Can look forward to the middle-grade shadow spirit root's ability."
"After all, the lower-grade shadow rice wine is too lame, just controlling the shadow of the rice."
...
The next morning.
Life continued as usual.
The saint's affairs didn't affect anyone at the manor.
After breakfast, Su Yuniang was preparing to supervise the prison construction when she suddenly asked, "By the way, would you like to be a prison guard? Our prison is being built next to the village, commuting is quick."
"Prison guard, can I?" Ning Jiaojiao roughly understood.
"Of course, you're naturally a prison guard, you have pretty jade feet." Su Yuniang nodded, "Besides, your jade foot two-in-one becomes a tail, small and short, super cute."
Ning Jiaojiao: "?"
"Brother, do you want to be a guard?" Su Yuniang tilted her head shamelessly, calling brother along with Ning Jiaojiao.
Ning Zheng was taken aback, asking Ning Jiaojiao was fine, but asking me?
Ning Zheng shook his head, "I need to cultivate daily."
Su Yuniang also understood, given that cultivators needed to cultivate, which was quite normal.
"Then just hold a title, occasionally come help, it can be quite dull." Su Yuniang said, "How does that sound?"
Ning Zheng thought for a moment and agreed.
Thinking that going to the prison might give him a good reason in the future.
Soon there would be two talisman masters in the prison, he could chat and inquire about outside news when bored.
Even though he wouldn't be able to learn about the saint's assassination, some basic common knowledge, information would still be very necessary.
He could even learn talisman making.
Gradually, higher-tier professionals might be imprisoned, holding great future potential!
This prison, in the future, might become a very important structure.
With nothing else to do, Ning Zheng accompanied the two to visit the prison, curious about its construction.
Due to the 24-hour continuous construction work, divided into three shifts, a framework of a structure had already appeared.
The outline was already initially built.
On the construction site stood huge circular prison walls, inside were rows of small dirt-and-wood houses.
All that could be said was that the villagers of this world, or perhaps the ghost, were very quick in their actions, building walls and houses at an astonishing speed.
And the mountain's blacksmiths weren't planning to build any high-tech paper house, why should prisoners reside in lavish villas?
Prisoners should be kept hanging!
Kept weak, even receiving little meat.
Until "running a sewing machine," producing a certain amount of goods, only then was there a limited meat supply provided.
Moreover, the prison was equipped with interrogation rooms, isolation rooms, and other punishment facilities.
If they forgot that segment of memory, the interrogation by beauty officer Su Yuniang and girl ghost would whip and beat these useless fish!
Ning Zheng walked around as the manor master, feeling very satisfied!
These villagers worked incredibly fast and efficiently, building such a large prison wall, if done successfully, imprisoning powerful prisoners would still be quite the achievement.
"Hey!"
"Hey!"
A group was carrying a giant log.
Ning Zheng and Ning Jiaojiao were watching, enjoying the sight.
Su Yuniang watched for a while before leaving to head up the mountain, as Jiucai Rong used painting cards to call her.
Riding a cable car, climbing to over five thousand meters at the mountain's summit, Jiucai Rong was already holding two prisoners at the manor gate waiting, "The people have been trained."
"So fast, only three or four days, right?" Su Yuniang felt it was a bit unstable, "Why not, train them for a few more days?"
"No, don't want to, don't want to!"
The two talisman masters cried out loudly, "Please take us away, take us to that so-called prison."
"Get lost, you two useless fish." Su Yuniang stepped back several steps.
Upon hearing the words "useless fish," the two talisman masters seemed to have a stress response, trembling in fear.
Clearly, the Medical Fairy had caused them serious psychological trauma with that term.
The Medical Fairy patted her belt medical box, proudly saying, "In the future, if they act up, scolding them as useless fish will make them scared."
"You're amazing!" Su Yuniang gave a thumbs up, suddenly realizing, "I hadn't understood what to call the prison before, why not call it Useless Fish Prison? A place full of useless fish who tremble at a call."
"Absolutely not!"
Jiucai Rong immediately stepped out to stop her, "We need style, what if outsiders come to visit? Our prison, growing big and strong in the future, is meant to become a holy land!"
"I think Demon Suppression Tower is just right, showing our grand aspiration to suppress the world's great demons, great evils, have them run the sewing machine."
Jiucai Rong seemed to have already discussed the name with them.
"Tacky." Su Yuniang didn't say anything and took the two away.
Meanwhile, behind her, a shy blacksmith slipped her a note.
"This was something I prepared earlier, but they're too weak, just two talisman masters, poor psychological resilience didn't use this interrogation technique, you can take it."
Su Yuniang looked.
Oh, wow!
It turned out to be various training techniques for military dogs.
Throw bones, jump barriers, use meat as rewards...
Feeling a bit crazy, if you can't interrogate just don't put random things together.
Su Yuniang shook her head speechlessly, taking the two down the mountain.
Also using the so-called "Sleeping Talisman" to help them sleep, waking up in the prison as an earth-bound spirit.
She quickly brought the two prisoners still locked in cages down the mountain, throwing them into the prison as the first batch of prisoners.
"Continue your work, prisoners shouldn't be approached, don't bother with them."
While overseeing, Su Yuniang began to interrogate the two talisman masters, every new arrival must be beaten, giving the prisoners a show of strength, "Ning Jiaojiao, let me teach you how to train people, first, you call him useless fish, with a disdainful look..."
"What are you doing here?"
Ning Jiaojiao and Su Yuniang turned around.
Seeing the masked figure, Bottle Ancestor appeared and said in a bland tone, "How come such a big house suddenly arose here?"
