Chapter 221 Development Trends
If there is no other way, Lin Xiaoyuan is unwilling to cooperate with Wugu Market.
Although the two sides are temporarily at peace, their relationship is definitely not as good as wearing the same pants, and they don’t know each other very well. Even if they cooperate with each other, they need to consider each other’s character.
Otherwise, not only will it be difficult to achieve their own goals, but they may also be calculated by villains, which will not be worth the loss.
As the leader of Yinsha Sect, he knows very well that a person who can build a market must have extraordinary abilities and means. It must be a very troublesome thing to cooperate with such a person.
So if possible, he still wants to do his best to complete this matter.
Having made up his mind, Lin Xiaoyuan’s eyes condensed slightly and said to the outside of the house: "Lu Chao, you continue to send people to find Pan He’s whereabouts. If there are any signs, report to me immediately."
An old voice came from outside the house, saying: "As ordered by the leader, but this person is extremely cautious, I am afraid there will be no results."
"Just do your best. If you really can’t do it, I will find another way."
…
Three months passed quickly.
On the surface, everything was very stable, and nothing major happened.
Baihefang City and Wugufang City were both operating and developing in an orderly manner, without major contradictions and conflicts.
Of course, this was also due to the stability of the overall environment.
The war between Qingshan Sect and Lingding Sect still had no intention of stopping. The front line was like a meat grinder, and a large number of late-stage strongmen continued to die.
Therefore, small forces continued to decline, exterminate, and flee, and the number of scattered cultivators continued to increase. The sects and families in Qingshan Sect withered, and the cultivators were living in poverty, a scene of decline.
But it was precisely because of this that Wugufang City and Baihefang City, which were located on the border, achieved unprecedented prosperity and development.
A large number of downtrodden forces and cultivators came, making these two markets full of vitality.
Some weaker forces that were unwilling to take any risks stayed in Baihefang City to survive.
Now, with the competition from Wugufang City, Baihefang City no longer dared to adjust prices at will, and the market was much more stable, so many cultivators were willing to stay.
Of course, there are also cultivators who are pursuing development, willing to take risks, and have stronger strength. They will go to Wugu Market to hunt stronger monsters and find precious natural treasures.
Generally speaking, the two major markets have their own characteristics and have all developed well, but the momentum of Wugu Market is stronger.
However, recently, the situation around Wugu Market has continued to deteriorate.
There are indeed unknown situations in the east of the Wugu Mountains, which have caused the surrounding monsters to begin to migrate outward, resulting in a significant increase in the second-level monsters around Wugu Market.
As time goes on, Zhou Daobai has also explored many times, and with the time of the foundation-building period, he has barely understood some of the situation.
In the deeper places in the east, it seems that there is a strong yin energy, which has caused many monsters to die.
But the specific situation cannot be understood too clearly, and Zhou Daocheng is in seclusion, so Zhou Daobai dare not leave for too long.
He must stay in the east of Wugu to guard against monsters invading the formation.
In these few months, there have been six cases of second-level monsters entering the formation, but for safety reasons, Zhou Daobai did not attack to kill them, but drove them away directly.
Several first-level top-grade monsters also appeared, and Zhou Daobai hunted them without hesitation, just harvesting a batch of flesh and blood and monster materials.
However, Wugufang City can survive among a large number of monsters with the formation and the protection of the foundation-building masters, but many small forces find it difficult to do so.
Recently, many small sects, small families, and casual cultivation teams active around Wugufang City have been attacked by monsters and suffered heavy losses in the end.
But it is precisely in this situation that the value of formations and spirit beasts is revealed.
Many forces with "cave-type formations" happened to rest in the formations. After being discovered by monsters, they barely blocked the attack with the formations and had time to escape in time.
Moreover, because they rested in the "cave-type formations" every night, they were in good physical condition and could resist in time.
Therefore, in the face of emergencies, the probability of survival is often higher.
As for spirit beasts, the role of "Soul Devouring Ants" is also very large. On the one hand, spirit beasts are more sensitive in the wild and are easier to find a safe environment.
Moreover, after being tamed, "Soul Devouring Ants" can be on guard around and remind the cultivators in time when there is danger approaching.
Therefore, although there are more powerful monsters around, the business of Wugufang City has not only not withered, but has become more and more popular.
Even though the price has been forced to increase by more than 30%, there are still a large number of cultivators scrambling for them.
Including the five major foundation-building forces in Baihefang City, they also sent people to buy formations and spirit beasts, and took advantage of the increase in the number of monsters to increase hunting teams for hunting.
However, compared with other forces, the recent behavior of the Disha Sect is worth pondering.
On the one hand, they began to want Pan He on a large scale among the casual cultivators, without hiding anything. As long as someone provides Pan He's location, they can get their spirit stone reward.
This puzzled many people. What kind of hatred made the Disha Sect so relentless?
On the other hand, the Disha Sect may be stronger. They did not hunt monsters around the Fog Valley. Instead, under the leadership of the Disha Sect leader, they went deep into the east many times and even directly entered the East Great Wilderness.
They went there twice and got something. They hunted two second-level monsters, showing their strong strength.
However, at this time, Pan He, who was wanted by the Disha Sect, broke a news: It is said that the Disha Sect is looking for the remains of a powerful force in the East Great Wilderness!
This news also attracted the attention of many people, but because there was no evidence, it did not cause any waves in the end.
Many cultivators and forces only thought that there was a conflict between the Disha Sect and Pan He, and they were just throwing dirty water on each other.
The overall situation was generally stable, but there were also waves.
After three months, a long-sealed cave in the "Spirit Beast Garden" in the Fog Valley Market was also opened at this time.
Zhou Daocheng stretched his waist and looked at the sunlight shining on the Spirit Beast Garden, a scene full of vitality.
After three months of retreat, he finally learned how to set up the "spiritual puppet formation" and successfully set it up.
This formation, which allowed him to have the strength of the foundation-building stage in advance during the Qi Refining stage, also made him full of confidence at this moment.
From now on, the strength of him, the Lord of the Fog Valley, has finally barely reached the foundation-building stage!
After leaving the cave, Zhou Daocheng took a general look at the spirit beast garden. Everything here was well-organized, and some small trees were planted around, and the greening was done very well.
"It seems that Yunzhi is usually busy and has made the environment here very good." Zhou Daocheng was in a very good mood.
The Mirage Cloud Python cub sensed Zhou Daocheng's breath and swam over quickly, entwining Zhou Daocheng's feet with an intimate look.
