Building a sect from scratch.

This is a management method learned from Nietzsche and Chang'an City. Such methods require a considerable amount of funding, something ordinary small towns simply cannot afford. Even Longshan wouldn't waste such resources. However, the current Haoqi Changcun town is not short of money, and Nietzsche is extremely ambitious. Therefore, Wuwang City has completely replicated this management approach, and just a few days ago they finished processing the "resident certificates" for the batches of "slaves" they had bought. This time, in rescuing the NPCs in Tiangui Mountain, Nietzsche simply intends to solve the problem once and for all, starting with registering information from the allocation of residences.

I've said the same thing countless times, and my voice is a little hoarse, but the middle-aged woman who's clearly an NPC registering information still speaks softly:
"Yes, this is your 'Resident Certificate.' With this, you can not only freely enter and exit Wuwang City, but also enjoy various welfare benefits. For example, you can collect a few 'Five Thunder Talismans' every week, which can prevent everyone from being harmed by the evil mines. Yes, yes, our Wuwang City is famous for its minerals, and its mining and smelting industries are quite developed, so exposure to evil mines is inevitable, hence this benefit... As for the housing issue, due to the limited number of houses, we can only have everyone live in tents in groups of two to four for now. However, this is temporary. After the land is allocated, you can build your own houses. Wuwang City will provide some building material subsidies, or you can work and earn money to buy a pre-built house. However, Wuwang City is newly built, there are relatively few vacant houses, and the housing prices are too high. I don't recommend buying a finished house... Ah, sorry, I've said too much. If you have any questions, you can ask the people over there. I still need to register the next resident! I wish you a pleasant life in Wuwang City!"

In contrast, the NPC cultivator mechanically engraving information onto the wooden plaque looked rather impatient, but he still diligently and tirelessly cast spells, engraving information onto the "resident's certificate."

This not-so-harmonious scene warmed Zhao Qing's heart.

Players of the game "Eternal Righteousness" have absolutely no idea that the game is a real world. So when it came to rescuing the residents of Tiangui Mountain, Wang Ergou, Zhao Qing, and a few others even had a fight over the matter.

Wang Ergou and the Jade Emperor believed that every detail of the "Eternal Righteousness" plan needed to be monitored to prevent them from becoming too much like the Fourth Calamity and engaging in any misconduct. However, Zhao Qing and Jieran felt they should give the other players some trust, and besides—

“If something really happened, the sect leader and senior sister would definitely be monitoring it by now. There’s no need for us to do anything unnecessary. Besides, I reckon there are people from our project team in the Righteous Spirit Forever community. There’s no need to take everything on ourselves.”

“If we try to interfere in everything, it will be seen as us overstepping our bounds. Even if the senior sister has no objections, the project team will not be happy.”

Zhao Qing's analysis was reasonable and well-founded, and Jie Ran even went so far as to analyze the political reasons directly, finally persuading Wang Ergou and the Jade Emperor.

Therefore, Zhao Qing's special trip to teleport ahead of time was not for rescuing any NPCs, but for her "friend" from another world, the "dragon," whom she had only recently come into contact with.

Seeing that Zhao Qing had teleported to the Nabahai tribe and was about to turn and walk out of the tribe, Renxin Huadao couldn't help but ask, "Second Senior Sister, it's so dangerous here, are you sure you can handle it?"

"Don't worry! I reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment through my own abilities!"

Zhao Qing rose into the air, confidently uttered a sentence, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

When she temporarily swapped puppet bodies with her senior sister Baili Shuang, she didn't think to mark the map, so she had no idea where the "dragon" was with her at the time.

Fortunately, thanks to her relationship with Baili Shuang, she managed to find out what happened next—Kui Huai Ren had expended a great deal of his cultivation to transform the rift valley into a long river, and even became the de facto "River God" to suppress the rift valley and the various evil spirits it spawned. So…

"Since he's the river god, once we find the river, we should be able to find him, right..."

Zhao Qing muttered to herself as she flew towards the outer edge of Tiangui Mountain. The entire Tiangui Mountain was in chaos. What was once just a place shrouded in red mist and devoid of human habitation was now frequently teeming with strange monsters.

Most of them were somewhat humanoid, but they also had many unidentified limbs and strange "organs". They were all shrouded in a thick red mist and emitted an unbearable stench, forcing Zhao Qing to lower her sense of smell several times before finally turning it off, which gave her a feeling of "rebirth".

At first, Zhao Qing used lightning magic and swung her giant hammer to "kill" these monsters, but she soon discovered that "physical attacks" seemed to have limited killing power against these monsters. Unless she endured the nausea and smashed them into limbs and flesh, she could not stop their "resurrection." Otherwise, these monsters would quickly solidify new limbs from the red mist, just like the Nine Nether Demons.

The lightning strikes from the Thunder Magic were also useful, but it often took her half a bar of mana to completely kill a monster. This forced her to give up using the Thunder Magic after just one try—she still needed to save her spiritual energy for her journey.

Left with no other choice, Zhao Qing had to temporarily give up dealing with these monsters. When she encountered a few more wandering monsters, she ignored them and focused solely on finding the "Black Moon River" that Baili Shuang had mentioned.

Fortunately, these monsters couldn't fly. Even though they spotted Zhao Qing traveling in the sky, they only chased after her. However, because they were too slow, they were quickly left behind by Zhao Qing and then wandered around aimlessly.

After shaking off several waves of monsters, Zhao Qing finally spotted a somewhat reflective black "ribbon" in the distance.

"Wuyue River".

Looking at the river markers revealed beneath the dissipated fog on her map, along with the three characters next to them, Zhao Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huai Ren! Kui Huai Ren!"

Zhao Qing stopped beside the Wuyue River, hesitated for a moment, but then abandoned her shame and shouted loudly.

"Are you there!? Kui Huai Ren! River God of Wuyue! Dragon King of Wuyue!"

At first, she called out several times, but the river remained still. So Zhao Qing called out every name she could think of—or rather, it wasn't still; the dark Wuyue River was now like a witch's cauldron simmering with potion, constantly churning with eerie "bubbles." Upon closer inspection, one could see that what was churning on the surface wasn't "bubbles" at all, but rather the shadows of the monsters she had encountered many times before.

Zhao Qing called out more than a dozen times, until she was almost about to give up, when finally huge waves rolled up on the river.

A huge, white, somewhat weary dragon head emerged from the Wuyue River. (End of Chapter)
