After entering Linyaofang City, Gu Changhuan found that Linyaofang City seemed to have changed a lot.
The first is that the concentration of spiritual energy in Linyaofang City has changed.
In the past, the spiritual veins in Linyaofang City were only second-order high-grade, but now they have been promoted to third-order low-grade. This is a qualitative leap.
Secondly, the number of monks in Linyaofang City has increased a lot, and foundation-building monks can be seen everywhere. At a glance, you can always find one or two foundation-building monks in the crowd.
So many monks gathered in Linyaofang City. I don’t know if it’s because the monster tide is over, or because of the promotion of spiritual veins in Linyaofang City.
However, Gu Changhuan felt that there were two reasons.
Thirdly, the size of Linyaofang City has also expanded a lot, almost twice as much as before.
Could it be that the person in charge of Linyaofang City discovered the spirit stone mine?
Otherwise, where did these many spiritual stones come from to upgrade the spiritual veins and expand the scale of the city?
You must know that upgrading spiritual veins requires a lot of spiritual stones, and the people in charge of this place should only be in the foundation building stage. The second-level high-grade spiritual veins are enough for them, so why spend tens of thousands of spiritual stones to upgrade the spiritual veins?
Could there be some hidden secret in this?
Gu Changhuan suddenly became interested in exploring.
But it was naturally impossible for him to ask Taoist Bai Xing directly.
The Gu family also has a store in Linyaofang City. He might as well go and ask, maybe they know the inside story!
Gu Changhuan walked slowly, seemingly casually, but he walked directly towards the shop opened by the Gu family.
As soon as he stepped into the Gu family's shop, someone came to greet him
"Senior, what kind of spiritual things do you need? Or what kind of spiritual things are you selling?
The prices at our Gu family shop are very reasonable and will definitely satisfy our seniors!"
After the man finished speaking, Gu Changhuan smiled and took out his identity jade token.
This person is not the Gu family, he just works in the Gu family industry, but he also knows this jade medal.
"Where's your shopkeeper?"
When the man saw the jade plaque, he understood Gu Changhuan's identity and said in a more respectful manner:
"The shopkeeper is in the back hall. Does Senior Gu need to pass the news down here?"
Gu Changhuan took back the jade token and waved his hand
"No need, I'll go find him myself."
The structure here is not complicated, and Gu Changhuan quickly found the Gu family monks who were stationed at the property here.
The Gu family monk stationed in Linyaofang City is none other than Gu Changming, the seventh eldest member of the Gu family. Gu Changhuan once spent some time with him in Baizhan Valley.
Seeing Gu Changming, Gu Changhuan greeted him with an unfamiliar face and said:
"Brother Changming, long time no see!"
Gu Changming was stunned for a moment, his hand inadvertently pressed on the storage bag at his waist, and he asked tentatively:
"Seventeenth brother? Chang Huan?"
He had definitely never seen this face before, but this voice was somewhat familiar to him.
Gu Changhuan said with a smile: "Brother Qi has a good ear!"
Gu Changming said in surprise:
"Brother Seventeen! Why are you here too?"
Gu Changhuan was stunned:
"Have Chang Yue and the others arrived?"
Hearing that the people in front of him talked about Gu Changyue and others, Gu Changming was completely relieved and put his hand down from the storage bag and said:
"Well, they have been entering the Qianlong Mountains for several days. I think they will be back soon.
Isn't the family preparing for an auction?
Why did you come out when I was supposed to be using you, Seventeenth Brother?"
Gu Changhuan said:
"Over at the auction, I have already finished refining all the elixirs that need to be refined.
The wave of monsters and beasts that lasted for two or three months and the elixirs that I had been practicing for more than a month were almost exhausted to death.
It's good to go out and relax and look for some spiritual objects.
Although Bifeng Mountain is safe, I prefer the days of traveling outside, which are more exciting."
Although Gu Changhuan can endure the boring practice, he essentially hates the same routine, which is why he always wants to run away.
"Speaking of which, Brother Qi, why are you here in Yaofang City? I always thought you were working in Guaping Mountain."
After hearing Gu Changhuan's words, Gu Changming shook his head and smiled, nodded again, and said with a wry smile:
"I did originally raise spiritual beasts in Guaping Mountain, but a month ago, I was suddenly transferred here.
The monk who was originally in charge here has been transferred to the market to prepare for the auction, and I am just the shopkeeper chasing ducks to put them on the shelves."
Gu Changming is not very good at business management, but he is very lucky. These days, he has received several spiritual objects that his family does not have.
It can be considered a small achievement.
Gu Changhuan suddenly understood and asked:
"Then Brother Qi, does he know why Linyaofang City has changed so much?"
Gu Changming waved his hand,
"This is not the place to talk. Let's go to the central hall. I'll order someone to get some food and wine, and we'll talk while we eat."
Indeed, the back hall is half a warehouse, and it is indeed not a good place for chatting.
A quarter of an hour later, the food and wine were all served in the central hall.
Gu Changhuan also hadn't eaten for a while. Seeing a lot of spirit animal meat on the table, his greed was aroused and he actually ate a lot.
Gu Changming was more interested in what was in the cup, so he drank a pot of spiritual wine.
Gu Changming had almost finished drinking, and Gu Changhuan was half full, and he also figured out the reason for the changes in Linyaofang City.
"Unexpectedly, Haoran Sect actually acquired Linyaofang City. They also upgraded their spiritual veins and set up a fourth-level formation. Such a feat is worthy of the Nascent Soul power!"
Gu Changhuan sighed.
Gu Changming also sighed a little,
"It's hard for the original managers of Linyaofang City to be willing to give up half their life's hard work."
Gu Changhuan smiled nonchalantly:
If Linyaofang City had not been given to the Haoran Sect, Linyaofang City would have been razed to the ground by monsters. Using a market that could not be saved to embrace the Haoran Sect, Taoist Bai Xing and the others would do this business.
Not a loss.
Moreover, the Haoran Sect also allowed them to be the stewards of the city, which was very kind.
As soon as they finished eating, guests came to the front hall.
He came here to buy spiritual talismans. Although he was only in the Qi training period, he spent a lot of money and spent nearly a thousand spiritual stones in one go.
Gu Changhuan was a little surprised when he saw it. Are these casual cultivators so rich?
After Gu Changming recorded the account books, he turned around and saw Gu Changhuan with a strange look on his face, and couldn't help but ask:
"What's wrong? But is there something wrong with that person?"
Gu Changhuan shook his head,
"It's nothing, I was just thinking, aren't these casual cultivators very economical? Why are they willing to spend thousands of spiritual stones to buy spiritual talismans at once?"
Gu Changming put away the account books, shook his head and said:
"Brother Seventeen, don't you know this?
These days, all casual cultivators in Linyaofang City have at least doubled their net worth after returning from the Qianlong Mountains!
If you have some strength and luck, your net worth can even increase several times!
Not many come back empty-handed.
However, there were also many casual cultivators who were killed or injured during this period. Just as far as I know, two regular customers of our Gu family shop have died.
There was another person in the foundation building stage who was also seriously injured. He came to our store two days ago to buy White Feather Pills to heal his injuries.
It is said that because he was too greedy, he broke into the depths of the Qianlong Mountains and encountered a third-level monster, which brought disaster to himself.
But having said that, if he can save his life from the claws of a third-level monster, he can be considered a blessing."
