As a lord, I was forced to farm

Chapter 916 The Popular Qushui Tower
After all, most weapon refiners are not very good-tempered. Seeing their painstakingly created magical artifacts being plagiarized by others in the blink of an eye is not a pleasant experience for them.

Beating someone up is considered mild; worse, hiring someone on the black market to kill them is also considered normal.

It was rather strange that Wang Zhenyun was so happy.

Fortunately, the weapon refiner, who was much younger than them, seemed genuinely happy to see them and had no intention of harming them. Gradually, the two relaxed.

Wang Zhenyun carefully took a Swallowing Mist Flying Sword from Wanbao Spirit Goods Store, her calloused fingers gliding over the blade. "It's almost exactly the same. You guys have such solid forging skills."

Su Changyue and Su Changlu rarely had the opportunity to interact with other cultivators. Faced with Wang Zhenyun's praise, they felt both shy and proud. In fact, they also thought that Wang Zhenyun was very amazing, as she was able to create such an interesting magic weapon. This made the two sisters, who could only copy but were not good at innovation, very envious. They wondered if they could also absorb some of Wang Zhenyun's spiritual energy if they had more contact with her.
"Hehe, no, no... We're not good at other things, so we can only practice the basics more..." The two sisters said, blushing and waving their hands.

"You're too modest!" Wang Zhenyun warmly took their hands and, sure enough, felt a thick layer of calluses on them.

To perfectly replicate someone else's magical artifact, one cannot achieve this level of perfection without countless hours of meticulous crafting day after day.

Wang Zhenyun had to admit defeat; in terms of forging ability alone, the two sisters were superior to her.

I couldn't help but feel a little excited. Sometimes, weapon refiners would cooperate with each other. After all, weapon refinement is a very broad field, and weapon refiners have limited energy, so they would usually choose one aspect to specialize in.

Wang Zhenyun thought that if they were willing to cooperate with her, some of the ideas in her mind might be able to come true.

However, this is not the time to discuss these things.

Their attention was drawn to the magical swords in the Wanbao Spirit Goods Shop.

With the immense popularity of "Chasing Clouds: First Edition", the flying swords in Duobao Spirit Goods Shop are selling extremely well and are about to run out of stock. Even the high-end custom flying swords are fully booked with orders.

Moreover, some outside merchants have recognized the potential of the Cloud-Swallowing Flying Sword and plan to order a batch of it to sell outside the Cloud-Sorrow Land.

However, even if Zhenyue Refining Workshop immediately purchases materials to refine them, it would probably be unable to deliver so many magical artifacts immediately.

The power competition only lasts for about a month. If you miss this peak period, you might have to wait until five years later for the power competition to be held again in Mingxiao City!

Da Su naturally couldn't let the duck that was about to be eaten fly away.

Fortunately, Wanbao Linghuo Store had a batch of these "pirated flying swords".

The Su family also has great ambitions. In order to seize this opportunity, they have invested no less money in flying swords than the major innkeeper of a county town. Now there are at least tens of thousands of flying swords in this shop!

Because the Swallowing Mist Flying Sword is basically identical in appearance and function to the Swallowing Cloud Flying Sword, it is now a boon for Da Su.

If they simply change the character "雾" (mist) to "云" (cloud), engrave the "宿" (Su) character (a mark of Su) on the hilt of the sword, and add a dazzling light to the flying sword, they can directly send it to the Duobao Linghuo Shop for sale.

Although modifying these minor details will take some time, it's much more convenient than refining them from scratch. Moreover... Da Su bought these things directly from the Su family at almost the cost of the materials themselves.

"You guys are really ruthless. After 'Chasing Clouds: The First Chapter' is released, our shop's Swallowing Mist Flying Swords definitely won't be able to sell anymore, at least not in the Cloud Grief Land." Su Changfeng gave a wry smile, looking at the flying swords and the materials used to forge them with some reluctance.

Liu Wenyan gave a kind smile, "There's nothing we can do. Who told you to do something bad to our Duobao Spiritual Goods Shop?"

The Su family was disgruntled.

But having said that.

Everyone thought to themselves: if this could lure out the person who could save their elder brother, it would be well worth it.

……

Qushuilou has been blown up, from all sides.

Let's start with the most popular ghost drama right now.

In just seven days since its release, the theater has been packed every day. There are six viewing rooms in the Star Gazing Pavilion, each with five hundred seats. Each viewing room replays "Chasing Clouds" eight times. In these seven days, the Star Gazing Pavilion has brought more than twelve million spirit crystals to the Great Palace!
This doesn't even include the revenue from popcorn and other snacks!
Even though the upcoming power struggle will draw away a large portion of viewership and cause a decrease in moviegoers, there may be a small peak in the short two weeks following the power struggle's conclusion.

In addition, viewers are also very interested in the follow-up of this ghost drama. "Chasing Clouds: The First Episode" has obviously brought a great start to the show. The Star Gazing Pavilion is also following up with news that the show will have two more ghost dramas, "The Legend of Cuju" and "Sangmo Chuiyan", to be released.

Although not a sequel to "The Legend of Cloud Chaser," these two ghost dramas, both representing the latest and most innovative form of entertainment, have garnered significant attention, with many inquiring about their release dates. Some wealthy and influential individuals have even sent people to approach Jiang Ran, the owner of Qu Shui Lou.

Qi Yu was also caught by acquaintances and asked a few questions about the Spirit Shadow Drama.

News spread from who knows where that some people knew that there was a physical copy of "Chasing Clouds" and came to buy it. Ah Feng and the bookstore behind him seized this opportunity. After obtaining Da Su's customs clearance document and paying the customs duties, they urgently printed "Chasing Clouds" and opened a bookstore in Mingxiao City.

It should be noted that although "Chasing Clouds" is a novel about cultivation, it is essentially a novel that promotes the ideology of love and city.

But which city does this "city" refer to?
"Chasing Clouds" continues to exert its influence.

Finally, some businessmen who had caught a whiff of interest came to our door, their eyes burning with excitement, saying they hoped to sell us the ghost story of "Chasing Clouds: The First Episode"!
As for how to sell it?
Jiang Ran had prepared for this long beforehand.

The Starry Environment Box can be disassembled to produce a Starry Mirror, which stores the images and sounds of the Spirit Shadow Drama and can be played when needed. Buying and selling "Chasing Clouds: First Edition" is simply handing over the Starry Mirror containing this Spirit Shadow Drama to them.

These merchants had also calculated the revenue that "Chasing Clouds" had brought to Qushui Tower in the past few days, so most of them offered relatively high prices. A price of several hundred thousand spirit crystals wouldn't reach Jiang Ran or even A Feng, while a price of over one million would allow them to meet with the person in charge.

Now, a merchant from the Land of Thunder has offered eight million spirit crystals. They guarantee that the show will not be broadcast in the Land of Clouds of Sorrow, ensuring that it will not affect Da Su's business in Mingxiao City. Moreover, they have their eyes on the upcoming spirit dramas "The Legend of Cuju" and "Sangmo Chuiyan" and intend to buy them.
