Chapter 70: Nanshanfang Crisis (Updated from last night) After two sticks of incense, it was dark. Xiao Changqing came out of the studio, holding two talismans that had been painted to break evil and calm the mind, and said, "I'm lucky. The quality of both talismans has reached the first-class upper grade. I hope they can help Master Zhu Dan." Zhu Youlong took the talisman and looked at it with a happy expression on his face: "Thank you very much! This is my reward, Master Xiao Fu, please keep it. If you need it in the future, please feel free to ask me! I will go back first, Qingzhu is still waiting. It is dark now. If I don't take the talisman back, Xiaoliang will fall asleep and have nightmares again. He will be worse than death." After handing Xiao Changqing a bag of spirit stones containing two mid-grade spirit stones, which was equivalent to two hundred low-grade spirit stones, Master Zhu Dan left in a hurry. Very generous. A first-level evil-breaking talisman is not particularly rare. Even if a calming talisman is relatively rare and its quality has reached the late first level, it is not worth a mid-grade spirit stone. However, compared to the spiritual stone reward, what Xiao Changqing is more concerned about and wants to know more is what happened to Shopkeeper Ruan's son, what kind of strange situation he encountered, and whether the advanced evil-breaking talisman and calming talisman can save his life. Xiao Changqing actually wanted to follow Master Zhu Dan to check out the situation and take a look at the scene. But in the end I didn't follow. Because he didn't know the specific situation, he was a little worried that if he followed him rashly and was entangled by the so-called unclean things on Ruan Bufan, wouldn't he be asking for trouble? Although the possibility of this situation is small, we still have to take precautions.
I'd better wait until tomorrow and go find Master Zhu Dan to find out the details. At this time, Xiao Changqing thought of another thing in his mind, that is, the border cultivation market "Yinye Peak" was actually broken into and occupied by evil cultivators, and the foundation-building cultivators in the market also died. This information is important, but also very dangerous. Even though Yinye Peak is a border city adjacent to the Southern Wilderness, it still belongs to the territory of the Dayu Immortal Cultivation World. Under normal circumstances, the evil cultivators of the Demon Cult would never dare to invade and directly break through it. Doing so is tantamount to declaring war on the immortal cultivation world of Dayu! Will the evil cult continue to invade on a large scale, and will Nanshanfang be in danger then? of course. Nanshanfang is much more powerful than Yinyefeng. Whether it is the scale of cultivators, the market formations, or the number of foundation-building cultivators, they are all much larger. It seems that there are only about 3,000 cultivators in Yinye Peak. It is not under the jurisdiction of any sect and is occupied by a family of foundation-building cultivators. In the entire market town, there are only two cultivators in the early stage of foundation building. Compared with the previous Nanshanfang, it is much weaker and not on the same level. Not to mention that now, Nanshanfang also has Mu Renjie, a great monk whose strength is comparable to that of the late foundation building stage! With Mu Renjie alone and the Nanshanfang mountain protection formation, Nanshanfang would be impregnable if the evil cultivators of the Demon Cult did not send out their Jindan-level cultivators. Moreover, Nanshanfang is not particularly far from the headquarters of Luoxia Sect and Baihua Valley. If Nanshanfang is really breached by evil cultivators, these two major Jindan sects will also face the Demon Cult directly, and the situation will not be very good, so they should not sit idly by and will lend a helping hand. So relatively speaking, Nanshanfang is still relatively safe and will not be easily conquered and occupied by the evil cultivators like Yinye Peak. After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Xiao Changqing decided not to worry too much for the time being and not to think too much. He had scared himself before anything happened. "However, those who do not consider the overall situation are not qualified to consider a specific area. There is no need to worry too much, but also not to be unprepared and wait until the crisis really comes before being in a panic. We must prepare in advance." Xiao Changqing was secretly planning in his mind. In the past, because Zhou Changkong was strict in his supervision and strictly prohibited the talisman masters of Lingfu Pavilion from making extra money and selling talismans privately, Xiao Changqing did not work overtime in the cave after get off work and did not stock up much.
But next, Xiao Changqing had to make more preparations. He would use his spare time after get off work every day to draw talismans without affecting his own practice! "The top priority is to draw the Calming Spirit Talisman and the Exorcist Talisman. The power of the Exorcist Talisman can only reach the first-grade upper grade, but the Calming Spirit Talisman has a second-grade production method, and I happen to know how to make it. Then all the second-grade talisman materials collected next will be used to draw the second-grade Calming Spirit Talisman!" "There is a huge difference between the power of the second-level talisman and the first-level talisman. If the first-level talisman has a miraculous effect on strange and evil spirits, then the second-level talisman must be even more useful." "In addition to the second-level Calming Spirit Talisman, the first-level Calming Spirit Talisman, the Evil-breaking Talisman, and other talismans, you should also try to draw as many as possible! The more the better, the more the better!" The materials for the second-level talismans are too difficult to collect in Nanshanfang, and it takes two or three months to collect a batch. So although the second-level talismans are difficult to draw, it will not take up too much of Xiao Changqing's time. Most of the time is still spent on drawing first-level talismans. A first-grade superior talisman is not particularly useful to Xiao Changqing now. But the Lin sisters can use it. Moreover, if the turmoil really came, talismans would immediately become a hot commodity, and the price would rise sharply, especially the first-grade high-quality talismans made by oneself, which would be the most sought-after by the monks in Nanshanfang. After all, there were only four foundation-building monks in Nanshanfang at present, and the others were in the Qi Refining Realm. For them, the first-grade high-quality talismans were the most powerful means. Think of a strategy and make a plan. Xiao Changqing immediately called the two Lin sisters together and informed them of the situation. "No wonder more and more cultivators have flocked to Nanshanfang in recent years. The prices of caves and shops in Nanshanfang have been rising steadily. Has the situation become so chaotic? Even Yinye Peak has been captured!" "Although Nanshanfang is a remote place and not worth mentioning compared to the major immortal cities in the heart of Dayu's immortal cultivation world, it is the largest among the several immortal cultivation cities on the southwestern border, and it is not far from Luoxia Sect and Baihua Valley." "If Nanshanfang is also captured by evil cultivators, it means that the entire southwest region of Dayu Immortal Cultivation World is in danger. It can even be said that the entire Dayu Immortal Cultivation World is about to enter a real war era, and a chaotic era will begin." Lin Zixi had recovered from his embarrassment and shyness. He nodded his head and spoke thoughtfully. Her first reaction was surprise, and her second reaction was not worry or fear, but wondering whether there would be any benefit in knowing the news in advance. "The current housing prices in Nanshanfang should be considered to have reached their peak. If nothing unexpected happens, the prices will probably fall sharply. In the past two years, the prices of cave dwellings have been rising steadily. The cultivators who took out loans to buy cave dwellings and shops are probably going to be in trouble..." Nanshanfang is still safe and will not be attacked by the evil cult. But news came from Yinye Peak that the number of evil cultivators from the outside world had greatly increased, and Nanshanfang was at the center of the vortex, so the cultivators were bound to panic. Maybe there will be a lot of cautious monks' coats. When war comes, the least valuable things are the cave properties. Because these things cannot be converted into cash, cannot be taken away with you, and there is a risk that they will become worthless after being hacked! In this way, it can be predicted that the housing prices in Nanshanfang will be cut in half uncontrollably! "I was thinking about spending spirit stones to buy real estate, but luckily the master disagreed and stopped me." Lin Zixi said with some relief. After making money at Guangjulou, she watched as the price of the Nanshanfang cave house continued to rise, and wondered whether she should just buy the shop where Guangjulou was located, so that she wouldn't have to pay rent every month. But after reporting to Xiao Changqing, it was rejected. At that time, Xiao Changqing didn't know about the risk of war, nor did he know whether the housing prices in Nanshanfang had reached their peak, and whether buying would be at a high price. He only knew that he would never stay in the remote place of Nanshanfang forever in the future. When he is ready to build his foundation, or after he has successfully built his foundation, he must leave and venture into a bigger world. In this case, there is no need to buy real estate in Nanshanfang.
Sister Lin Ziyu sighed when she heard this. "If the housing prices in Nanshanfang fall sharply, those wealthy and powerful local cultivators who have several caves and shops at home and are counting on making money from real estate will not have any problem. But for outsiders like us, who have worked hard in Nanshanfang for many years and finally saved enough spirit stones, and bought caves in the past two years and want to take root in Nanshanfang... that would be too miserable." Lin Zixi shook his head and said, "So when you are weak, you only know how to save spirit stones to buy real estate, but don't know how to use the spirit stones to invest in yourself and improve your cultivation and strength. This is the most foolish behavior. For cultivators of our generation, strength is the foundation of everything. The purpose of earning spirit stones is to improve your cultivation strength. Why use them to buy real estate? You should consider buying real estate when you have extra spirit stones and want to invest." Lin Ziyu rolled her eyes at her sister and said unhappily, "You are just blaming me for something else, saying that I was stupid at the beginning, right?" Lin Zixi giggled, "No way, sister, don't be so sensitive." Lin Ziyu snorted coldly: "I don't know you yet..." Watching the two sisters joking, Xiao Changqing couldn't help but think of many years ago when he and Lin Ziyu were both living in the shantytown. At that time, Lin Ziyu was indeed extremely stingy. Although he had reached the fourth level of Qi Refining, he was unwilling to spend money to move to a Class C cave dwelling. He lived in a shantytown for a low-grade spirit stone a month. She usually ate and drank as cheaply as possible, and she had never even bought spiritual rice. She was even more frugal than Xiao Changqing and Zhou Yun'e at that time. It turned out that at that time, Lin Ziyu's goal was to find a rich husband, and at the same time, to save up spiritual stones by herself so that one day she could settle down in Nanshanfang and have her own cave. He now lives in Cave No. 10, and earns nearly a thousand low-grade spirit stones every month. Most of the people who come and go are top-level cultivators in Nanshanfang. Looking back, it seems like a lifetime ago! "In this case, I must be more careful and never go back to the days of embarrassment and struggle in the past!" ps: I am ashamed, I fell asleep halfway through coding last night, so this chapter is considered last night's update. Today's update will be released in the evening. Breaking a promise (End of this chapter)
