Tan Mengru never thought that there would be a day when she would be freed from the monster's body.

She held the Yincha Order in her hand, and found in it the "Tongyou Jue" which was specially used for the cultivation of spirits and ghosts. This technique could even allow the Yincha ghosts to cultivate to the realm of ghost immortals.

Even ordinary ghosts, after obtaining the secret of communicating with the underworld, can appear in the daytime without fear of sunlight.

Because the practice of this technique requires the Yin Cha Token. Without this token to convert spiritual energy, the practice will stagnate.

Under normal circumstances, ghosts need Yin energy to cultivate, but if too much Yin energy is absorbed, it will lead to imbalance of Yin and Yang, and thus completely fall into the ghost path.

Just like the monsters such as evil spirits, life-seeking ghosts, and green-faced ghosts that appear in the wild, they absorb too much Yin energy, causing them to become unconscious and thus extremely ferocious.

The Yinchaling can transform spiritual energy into energy that can be absorbed by spirit ghosts, and this token can also collect merits.

The more merits the owner has, the higher its conversion efficiency will be.

This is the important method that the underworld has come up with to persuade spirits and ghosts to be good.

Whether they like it or not, in order to cultivate faster, they must do good deeds to reduce the hostility brought about by the negative energy they unconsciously absorb.

After its strength grows, the Yin Cha Ling can change its form and become a special magical weapon such as the Soul-Catching Chain, depending on what the owner wants.

The weapons in the hands of the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons and the Black and White Impermanence are all transformed by the Yin Chai Ling. Each person is proficient in different weapons and spells, so the weapons presented in the end are also varied.

Lin Xiang said to Tan Mengru, "I'm sorry to bother you for a moment. Come rest in this jade bottle for a while. I'll let you out after I return to the land temple."

"Yes, sir."

Tan Mengru turned into a wisp of green smoke and fell into the jade bottle. She took this opportunity to study the "Tongyou Jue" carefully.

"I hope she can really help me."

Lin Xiang placed the jade bottle into the space ring and walked towards the Taichang market in the distance.

The players were already in the market at this time, and he was mainly trying to see if he could find any bargains.

The sword cultivator disguise of Qingwei Sword Sect is not very useful here, because Qingwei Sword Sect also participated in the Great Division War. If he is discovered by other cultivators or disciples of Yueying Palace, they will definitely arrest him as a spy.

The purpose of using a vest is to keep a low profile and conceal one's identity. A vest that can cause danger can only be temporarily hidden and replaced with another one.

Changing appearance may be difficult for others.

However, Lin Xiang's job was to play with clay figures, so he easily made another clay figure for himself and successfully changed his appearance.

He had been to the market within the Qingwei Sword Sect many times, but this was his first time to go to Taichang Market.

Cultivation markets are usually located in remote, out-of-the-way places, to avoid intrusion by accident, primarily to avoid trouble. They are also used to track down the location of spiritual veins. If a spiritual vein is located in a human city, then the market naturally cannot be moved elsewhere.

There is no road in the wilderness, but when more people walk, a road will appear.

Lin Xiang jumped down from the Dragon Slaying Sword, and just then a young cultivator came out of the formation, and the two of them met face to face involuntarily.

[Xie Junpeng: lv.19, late stage of Qi Refining.]

Lin Xiang could not detect any more information, but in order to avoid suspicion, he just nodded to the other party and moved away to avoid a collision.

"It seems I've found the right place. I wonder what kind of relationship this person has with the Xie family in Heng County. If he's from the Xie family, he might have the financial resources to participate in the fight for the Foundation Establishment Pill."

Those who have reached the foundation-building stage at such a young age are basically disciples from aristocratic families or famous sects.

The casual cultivators worry about the resources for cultivation all day long, so how can they have enough time for cultivation?

The Xie family of Heng County is an old-established cultivation family. It is said that their ancestors were once disciples of the Yueying Palace. Since then, members of the family have been worshipped in the Yueying Palace for generations. The family's influence has continued to expand. Now there are more than ten to twenty cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage, and there are even rumors that there are Golden Core stage cultivators in the family.

Lin Xiang also sent invitation letters and jade slips to the Xie family, but Han Mu and the other five people did not choose to send them to the Xie family, so they could only wait for the other players to run errands.

Even for such a large family, it is difficult to save a foundation-building pill.

Wherever there was news of a Foundation Establishment Pill auction, they would go and try, not missing a single opportunity. Furthermore, they had shops in several nearby Xiuxian markets, allowing them to buy and sell items while also gathering information.

As long as one understands spiritual power, one can directly enter the cover formation here without any special guidance. However, there must be a powerful protective formation hidden in the cover formation to prevent any blind monsters or evil cultivators from forcibly breaking in.

It clearly looked like a wilderness from the outside, but after entering the formation, a large ancient city appeared, which was much more luxurious and magnificent than Qifeng Town.

Taichang Market covers an area of ​​one hundred acres. The area where Lin Xiang is standing now belongs to the periphery. It is basically populated by low-level cultivators and mortals who are planting and caring for spiritual rice and other low-level spiritual medicines.

Behind the city is a small mountain range with many caves dug out on it. It is also covered by various formations and restrictions. These are the caves where the monks live.

The spiritual energy was firmly bound in the formation, without leaking out at all.

"As expected of a market that took hundreds or thousands of years to form, it's quite large."

The Taichang Market in front of him is a template for the development of Lin Xiang's Huanyu Market. There are too many restrictions within the Qingwei Sword Sect, and it mainly targets the disciples of the sect. Many foreign items are incomplete, and there are no foreign cultivators.

Here, as long as one is not an evil cultivator or a demon cultivator, even a sacrificial spirit can run rampant without hindrance.

There is a no-fly magic circle above the city. The monks can only fly from the periphery to the edge of the city, and then they need to enter on foot.

Lin Xiang flew on his sword and came to the bottom of the city gate. The large gilded characters "Taichang Market" looked vigorous and powerful. At the same time, there were many figures inside, and many monks were coming and going.

The buildings in the real market town are of different heights, some are seven-story pavilions with carved beams and painted pillars, and are magnificent.

Some are two-story restaurants with a big word "wine" hanging vertically.

Different areas have different architectural styles because this market is under the jurisdiction of three forces, namely Tianjianmen, Wanmiao Pavilion and Nanxi Wei Family.

The first two are first-class sects in Dagan, and the latter is the largest cultivation family in the nearby area.

A cultivation family supported by the Moon Shadow Palace can stand on equal footing with a first-rate sect. You can imagine how great its influence is in Dagan. This place is completely its back garden!

Some of these buildings in the market were sold to other forces, while others were operated or rented out by themselves.

For example, inns are operated by the three forces themselves, and many shops actually do similar businesses, such as selling magic tools, elixirs, and talismans.

The specific differences are the types and effects, and the prices are actually not much different.

Each store has its own unique formula or exclusive magic weapon, so that it can be competitive and not be defeated by its competitors.

Renting a shop in such a busy area is not cheap.

Lin Xiang knew that if his market was successful, it would definitely divert traffic from Taichang Market, and then conflicts would arise with these three major forces.

No one wants another market to steal customers!

Whether it is openly or secretly, there is always struggle.

Anything that wants to grow and develop will inevitably encounter obstruction from conservatives or vested interests.

Lin Xiang has made preparations, and now should be one of the best times to rise up because the war is approaching.

All these sects and cultivation families knew that the war was approaching and they were at a disadvantage in this battle, so they needed to continuously shrink their defenses to avoid suffering major losses.

When two countries are at war, Huanyu Market can survive in the cracks.

The premise is that it can withstand the aftermath of the battle. If Lin Xiang was not the land god, he would never risk doing such a thing.

Precisely because he was in charge of the area within dozens of miles of the Huanyu Market, he was confident that he could resist external attacks.

If the market had been reopened after the war, the refugees would have died long ago or fled to other places and would not have appeared in such a remote area.

He doesn't have much time left.

Lin Xiang looked at the surrounding shops with a sightseeing mentality, including the things they sold and the marks of each force.

If the other party wants to do business with peace of mind, perhaps we can extend an olive branch to them, attract investment to open a store in the Huanyu Market, and waive the rent for the first few years, etc.

These are just a type of field research work.

…

Although Han Mu and others were surprised by the prosperity of Taichang Market, this prosperity was only compared with other villages and towns in ancient times. Compared with those megacities in reality, it was nothing.

Therefore, although they clearly looked like they were entering the world of cultivation for the first time, they did not have any petty airs, which was in sharp contrast to some of the independent cultivators and children of aristocratic families.

This is the power of being accustomed to the world.

They did not rush around like headless flies, but chose to gather information separately in an orderly manner, and then parted ways here.

Yu Xiaoqi's task is to deliver the jade slip to Baibao Pavilion and invite them to participate in the auction.

Baibao Pavilion is a very mysterious chamber of commerce organization in the world of cultivation. They have branches in almost every market, even the markets within the sects are no exception.

If the Xiuzhen Market does not have the Treasure Pavilion, it will definitely be incomplete.

They are strong and have sufficient supply.

Even if it is a new market town, as long as there is the Treasure Pavilion, everything the monks need can be replenished here.

You can either buy or sell.

The only flaw is that the sales price of Baibao Pavilion is high, but the purchase price is very low.

This is also why other shops outside can survive.

There are countless monks coming and going in the Treasure Pavilion. Some of them show their true faces, while others wear masks and cloaks for fear of being recognized by others.

"Sir, welcome to the Treasure Pavilion. How can I help you?" The clerk in a green short coat immediately stepped forward to greet the customer when he saw him come in.

They tend to bend their bodies slightly, looking somewhat fawning and humble.

Because everyone here is a cultivator, and they are just mortals. It's a little better here at the Treasure Pavilion, at least they won't be beaten or scolded, at most they will be looked down upon.

Yu Xiaoqi was short of money. She had used all her spirit stones to buy the Golden Light Spell. Now the package only contained some items dropped by spider monsters, and those items were not very valuable.

Besides, the purpose of this trip wasn't to buy anything, but to deliver a letter. There were still four more locations to go to, and I also had to inquire about joining a sect.

"Sorry, I'm not here to buy anything. I'm here to deliver a letter." Yu Xiaoqi gave an awkward smile.

The clerk was a little confused. People usually come to the Treasure Pavilion to buy or sell items or to get information, so how could someone actually come to deliver a letter?

"Excuse me, to whom is the letter being sent? Do you need me to inform you?"

"No, no, no." Yu Xiaoqi waved his hands repeatedly. "On behalf of the Huanyu Market, I invite the owner of Baibao Pavilion to participate in the auction held in five days. There will be items such as Foundation Establishment Pills, Rejuvenation Pills, and Millennium Spirit Fruits for sale. If the owner is interested, you can go and take a look."

"Huh?" The clerk was puzzled. "Where is the Huanyu Market?"

"Just help me convey it. This is my errand fee." The moment Yu Xiaoqi handed over the jade slip, her task was completed.

But in order for the clerk to be able to actually deliver the item to the shopkeeper, he specially took out a spirit stone fragment from the game package and gave it to the other party.

Even if it is just fragments, it is still a huge gain for mortals.

After saying that, she turned and left, looking for the Tianjian Sect’s base.

When they entered the city, they paid a long-term resident to gather intelligence and inquire about relevant matters.

Tianjian Sect is one of the three giants in Taichang Market. Not only does it have a large number of stores for commercial activities, it also has a grand sect base.

This station is always guarded by late-stage foundation-building cultivators, whose main responsibility is to maintain the safety of Taichang Market. In addition, they help the sect collect materials, send talents, etc.

The three forces all sent cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment stage, and when problems arose, the three forces made joint decisions.

Yu Xiaoqi knew that his spiritual roots were not very good, so he did not expect to be able to join a big sect. The Tianjian Sect was a first-class sect after all, and it was backed by the Sword Cultivator Alliance. Even in the midst of war, no one would dare to mess with the crazy sword cultivators.

The person in charge of the station was no longer surprised by the coming and going of the wandering cultivators. He held a long sword in his hand and wiped it repeatedly before putting it back into the scabbard.

Yu Xiaoqi no longer had the confidence to stay in the Treasure Pavilion. She looked at the middle-aged swordsman anxiously, wanting to speak, but afraid to interrupt his deeply affectionate gaze on the sword.

He simply stood by, silently waiting for the other person to complete the entire set of movements before slowly speaking: "Senior, I have long admired the Tianjian Sect. May I ask if I can join your sect? Or what are the requirements for joining the sect?"

"You look so young, but your cultivation is a bit superficial." Middle-aged sword cultivator Yang Lin shook his head with some disdain. "You rely on taking pills to cultivate to the Qi Refining Realm. You won't be able to go far at this rate."

"Ah?" Yu Xiaoqi was a little surprised. "Senior, I have never taken any elixirs that increase my cultivation level. I swear!"

She wanted to take the Red Dragon Pill to improve her cultivation, but she couldn't afford it.

The superficial cultivation levels that Yang Lin detected were simply because most of the time, players only focused on increasing their levels and did not upgrade their skills.

In their eyes, his cultivation is superficial and not steady enough.

"Are you a casual cultivator, a descendant of an aristocratic family, or a transferee from another sect?" Yang Lin asked, pointing to a small sword nearby and saying, "This is the Sword of Inquiry. If you lie, you will be attacked."

Each sect is short of talent, but is also afraid of receiving spies or causing trouble, so each sect has similar links.

For example, Yueying Palace has the Great Array of Inquiry, Wanmiao Pavilion has the Bell of Inquiry, and they have the Sword of Inquiry.

Of course, this method can only find some more obvious spies, and it is impossible to identify them all.

Yu Xiaoqi had a clear conscience. She replied, "I'm just a casual cultivator. I only got some incomplete techniques from the Sacrifice Spirit."

This is a fact in itself, and the Sword of Questioning the Heart will certainly not move.

"What kind of ritual spirit would give out cultivation techniques to casual cultivators like you?" This was the first time Yang Lin had heard of this. "Let's test your spiritual roots and bone age."

This was not the first time that Yu Xiaoqi had tested two things. She was very clear about the attributes of her spiritual roots and knew that she was not an absolute genius.

Sure enough, there were still three colors of light on the spirit ball.

"Mid-grade gold spiritual roots, low-grade water and earth spiritual roots, and he's only 18 years old."

Middle-aged sword cultivator Yang Lin stroked his beard and commented, "Your aptitude is quite compatible with our Tianjian Sect, but with mid-grade spiritual roots, you can only enter the outer sect and start as an outer sect disciple. You can only enter the inner sect after you break through to the foundation-building stage. Are you willing to accept this?"

"I am willing to do this, and as long as I practice hard, I will definitely be able to do it!"

"Good! This is the mentality of us sword cultivators."

Yang Lin waved to the sword boy beside him and said, "Take this..."

He suddenly got stuck. "What's your name?"

"My name is Yu Xiaoqi."

"Daiyu Xiaoqi will stay in the outer disciples' rest area at the back and will return with the sect's chamber of commerce in a day."

"Yes, sir."

"Thank you for your guidance, senior. I will practice hard and live up to everyone's expectations." Yu Xiaoqi really didn't expect that it would be so easy to join the sect. Although he was the least valuable outer disciple, he was at least able to join the sect.

At the same time, her game panel was successfully updated to the title of Tianjian Sect's outer disciple.

She did not forget her mission and planned to go out and continue delivering the letter after settling down.

This will temporarily serve as her online and offline room.

…

At the Treasure Pavilion, the clerk Xiaoliu returned to the rest area and was immediately caught by another clerk, who asked him questions out of curiosity.

"Xiao Liuzi, what did that female cultivator just give you?"

There is also a contempt chain among the staff of Baibao Pavilion. Monks look down on mortals, and high-level monks look down on low-level monks. Xiao Liu happens to be at the bottom of the food chain, and usually receives the lowest-level monks who have the least benefits.

Facing his colleague's aggressive questioning, he smiled shyly, "She said there's a new market opening nearby, and asked me to send a letter to the shopkeeper, saying there are foundation-building pills, youth-preserving pills, and thousand-year-old spiritual fruits there, and asked the shopkeeper to attend the auction."

"It must be a scam. Do you know how expensive Foundation Establishment Pills are? Our shopkeeper only has five quotas for Foundation Establishment Pills a year. I don't know where this market came from, but it actually used Foundation Establishment Pills as a gimmick."

Another clerk nearby chimed in, "Yes, Fairy Xu from the Wan Miao Pavilion asked the shopkeeper to get her a Rejuvenating Pill, but she's been waiting two years and still hasn't gotten one. This thing isn't much cheaper than the Foundation Establishment Pill."

"You're not going to report this to the shopkeeper, are you? This is a complete waste of time. Be careful and you'll get scolded."

"Yeah, instead of selling things properly, you end up running errands for others."

Xiao Liu smiled awkwardly, "Whether the shopkeeper goes or not is his business. If it's true and I don't report it, then it will be my fault and I will definitely be fired."

He trotted all the way to the Treasure Pavilion and then stopped carefully in front of a door.

Before he could knock on the door, the shopkeeper with a goatee pushed the door open and came out with a kind look on his chubby face: "What are you doing here?"

He was clearly speaking with a smile, but when Xiaoliu heard it, his calves shivered and he was extremely scared.

Everyone knows that Manager Han of Baibao Pavilion is a typical smiling tiger.

Don't be fooled by the fact that he smiles at everyone he meets and seems to be very friendly. In fact, he is a master in the middle stage of foundation building. He is strong and has a good vision. No one knows how many cards he has up his sleeve.

"Boss... Boss, a fairy just sent me an invitation and a jade slip, inviting you to the auction at the Huanyu Market. The jade slip supposedly contains detailed information about the auction items. I dare not delay and will deliver it to you immediately."

Even though Xiaoliu was terrified, he still explained the whole story.

Shopkeeper Han quickly scanned the jade slip with his spiritual sense, extracting the important information from it. A hint of surprise appeared on his face, which had originally been indifferent.

"Where's that fairy person?"

"She handed the jade slip to me and left."

"Okay, you can go down. If you see her again, let her stay. I want to meet her." Shopkeeper Han said. He now had many questions in his mind and was full of curiosity about this mysterious Huanyu Market.

Xiaoliu smiled when he heard it. He was right. This jade slip must be real, otherwise the shopkeeper would not have given such an order.

"Yes, sir!"

After Xiaoliu left happily, Manager Han took the jade slip back to his room and thought seriously.

"Huanyu Market, that name is a bit too grand. And where does it come from? I've never heard of it before."

"To take so many good things at once, you can't keep them without some background."

"Sending out invitations, could this be a Hongmen Feast?"

Shopkeeper Han had handled numerous large-scale transactions, but he was still curious about these Foundation Establishment Pills, Rejuvenation Pills, Spiritual Fruits, and Misfortune-Breaking Pills. Especially since he was about to break through to the late Foundation Establishment stage, he needed a Misfortune-Breaking Pill to help him!

Although he is the owner of Baibao Pavilion, he is actually just a senior employee, and his annual income is linked to his performance.

The less sales you have, the less goods you can get. The less goods you have, the less sales you have, which leads to a vicious cycle.

Outsiders may think that his Baibao Pavilion business is booming, but in fact, Manager Han has been worried that his status in the Chamber of Commerce is getting lower and lower, otherwise he would not have not been able to get a Rejuvenating Pill for two years.

Now he just wanted to know whether this Universal Market was real and whether it was dangerous.

He took out a communication symbol and gave his subordinates an order: "Along, go with Ah Hu to Dongshan Village to investigate. Pay attention to gathering information and don't alert the enemy."

Before confirming the danger and its authenticity, Manager Han would not go there in person. What if it was someone else's conspiracy? His weak arms and legs would not be enough to stop the battle between two big countries.

A'long and A'hu are both cultivators who have reached the great perfection of the Qi Refining Stage. It is not enough to just send them out.

Shopkeeper Han decided to pass the news about the Rejuvenating Pill to Fairy Xu and ask her to go and investigate.

"Xu Xianzi must have been waiting for a long time. She might be the one who is most impatient. Please don't let me down!"

…

The most popular place in Taichangfang Market is not the major shops, nor the restaurants and inns, but the free trade market, commonly known as street stalls.

Lin Xiang's new vest is tall and handsome, and he looks particularly handsome.

He wandered around the market, occasionally casting detection spells on the items on the stalls, hoping to find any bargains. Meanwhile, he perked up his ears, listening to the conversations of the monks around him.

"There's been some unrest around here lately."

"Be careful when you go out. I heard that the Great Zhou was particularly excessive and even tried to assassinate our sacrificial spirit."

"The masters of Moon Shadow Palace have been dispatched in full force, hoping to calm the situation in time."

"Why are the prices of talismans and pills increasing?"

“Is war really coming?”

"If Da Zhou and Dagan really start fighting, what should we do?"

The monks are still insignificant in the face of the national situation, and everyone is worried and doesn't know how to deal with it.

In fact, the entire market has changed. Everyone is taking out their good things just to exchange them for life-saving items.

Unfortunately, none of these things caught Lin Xiang's eye.

Other things that are claimed to be fragments of magic weapons or land fragments are found to be fakes once they are detected.

Lin Xiang looked over little by little, and suddenly felt that the Five Elements Wu Earth Formation he had set up was under attack!

He hurriedly found a secluded place and immediately used up his incense points to teleport back to the statue of the land temple in Dongshan Village, then took off into the air.

"Why did you attack my market formation?"

…

A few minutes before Lin Xiang returned, a big battle broke out here.

As an inner disciple of the super sect Yueying Palace, Xia Yuan is specifically responsible for the safety of Guanlin Mansion.

After receiving the message from the Qifeng Town Spirit, he immediately inquired about the relevant situation and prepared to go to the scene to see if it was a spy conspiracy.

According to the records of Yueying Palace and the government office, the sacrificial spirit of Dongshan Village is a statue that has become a spirit and its strength is average.

Xia Yuan used the sect's flying spirit boat to quickly reach the vicinity of Dongshan Village, and then he carefully observed this so-called village in mid-air.

"Something's wrong! Something's very wrong!"

"Why are there so many low-level monks?"

As a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, Xia Yuan's spiritual sense could detect a wide area. In addition, the Five Elements Wu Earth Formation had not been activated, so it could not block his spiritual sense.

After scanning the area, I was surprised to find that there were hundreds of low-level cultivators in this mountain village and the nearby market.

The number of monks is greater than the number of civilians, which doesn't make sense no matter how you look at it.

What puzzled him was that these monks did not practice well, but instead gathered together to do various tasks.

Some people were digging ditches, some were reclaiming wasteland, some were dredging silt from the riverbed, some were cutting trees and firing brick kilns, and some were even decorating the market town.

A few acres of spiritual fields have been planted with spiritual rice, and the silver arrow grass seeds have also sprouted.

Some people in the wasteland performed the Small Cloud and Rain Technique to prepare for the spiritual fields, and there were even monks helping the villagers to lay tiles and harvest crops.

In short, apart from practicing, they do everything.

The entire area is not large, but it looks vibrant and full of vigor.

"Where did this sacrificial spirit get so many low-level cultivators? And why would these cultivators help mortals? It's the wrong way around." Xia Yuan was puzzled. Just as he was lowering the altitude of the flying spirit boat, he accidentally triggered the formation.

The Five Elements Wu Earth Formation that had been hidden was suddenly activated, and a yellow light shield immediately covered the Huanyu Market and Dongshan Village tightly, preventing him from entering.

"Damn, there's actually a formation here."

Xia Yuan had no choice but to control the flying boat away from the formation.

It was only then that the players and villagers realized that someone had accidentally triggered the formation!

There was no leader, no sacrificial spirit showed up, and no one could speak.

Xia Yuan asked loudly, "Where is the Dongshan Village sacrificial spirit?"

No one responded even after asking three times. Instead, the players below gathered together and looked up at the flying boat in the sky.

In mid-air, the young man standing on a flying boat held a precious orb in his hand, and a series of moon blades flew towards the Five Elements Wu Earth Formation, causing ripples in the formation barrier and erupting with loud rumbling sounds.

The villagers below were very scared because they had never experienced anything like this.

But the players are different, each of them is extremely excited.

"Hahahaha, another one coming to deliver food."

"Let's see how Lao Lin suppresses him."

"Is there anyone who wants to make a bet to see if he can be defeated by Lao Lin?"

"This formation is really solid. I thought it was a bubble that would burst with a poke."

"What sin did Old Lin commit to deserve being beaten up again?"

"Hurry up and check the task notice board to see if Lao Lin has issued any tasks."

"If Lao Lin doesn't make a move, I'm going to hit him. Does he really think he can't be hit just by flying in the sky?"

The NPC with a red mark looked particularly glaring in their eyes. This elite monster had bullied them to the door. If they didn’t fight back, what would happen?

Even though they knew there was a significant level gap between the two sides, the players still rushed out without hesitation, throwing all their weapons and spells at the other side.

"Get off me, you bastard!"

"Brothers, kill!"

"It's just a death, aren't you afraid of a hammer? Beat this elite monster!"

"Look at my fireball!"

Players rushed out from the Five Elements Wu Earth Formation one after another, and then attacked Xia Yuan in the sky.

Even the third batch of beta testers were already around level 5. The second batch of beta testers were around level 8 and 9, already capable of ranged attacks.

How could an ordinary sacrificial spirit set up an array, and how could there be so many low-level cultivators?

He's clearly a spy!

It's clear that he is a low-level cultivator sent by the Great Zhou to cause trouble!

The players' attacks couldn't hit Xia Yuan at all, because the flying boat under him had its own protective shield.

Low-level spells such as fireballs, flying swords, golden needles, and ice cones hit the flying boat's protective shield, but other than causing the flying boat to shake slightly, there was no other change.

But his attacks made it difficult for players to resist.

The crescent-shaped moon blade quickly attacked the ground, and the players who didn't have time to dodge were hit directly.

"What's going on?"

All the low-level monks who were hit by him were turned into mud and sand!

Xia Yuan was sure that these cultivators were definitely not monsters, and how could they be transformed from mud and sand? It was clearly a particularly advanced form of substitution that could replace a death.

His eyes lit up, yet he was secretly alert. "Who is so extravagant as to cast a substitute spell on these low-level monks?"

Even though he was a member of a super sect, he still couldn't think of any other sect in the world that could do this easily.

If the Yaowang Sect and Fahua Temple of the Great Zhou Dynasty could have done so, they would have unified Jambudvīpa long ago.

Flash sale!

The players were completely killed instantly!

They never expected that the new enemy would be so strong.

The attacks of himself and others could not hit the enemy at all, but the enemy's random group moon blade skill sent more than ten players back to the land temple to wait for resurrection.

How the hell can we fight this?! They're not even on the same level.

Even if they could be resurrected, there was nothing they could do.

Going out now would be giving away lives.

Fortunately, Lin Xiang was finally teleported back at this time. He knew that someone would definitely come to conduct advance reconnaissance, but he didn't expect it to be so quick.

The invitation had probably only been sent out two hours ago, but it attracted such a powerful opponent.

[Xia Yuan: lv. 25, inner disciple of Moon Shadow Palace.]

As soon as Lin Xiang flew into the air, he used a detection technique on the opponent, and sure enough, he was already a master in the middle stage of foundation building!

No wonder the players below can’t beat him at all. How can they beat him when there is such a huge gap in realm?

Xia Yuan looked at the frail scholar-like cultivator before him and asked arrogantly, "Are you the Dongshan Village Sacrifice Spirit? What's going on with this formation and the market?"

Having been in the sect for a long time, even when he came to Dagan for patrol, he used the same tone when speaking to other sacrificial spirits and monks.

But because the Moon Shadow Palace is so famous, even if someone is dissatisfied with it, they can only complain in their hearts.

Lin Xiang replied calmly, "Yes, I am the Dongshan Village Sacrifice Spirit. I'm afraid it's a bit disrespectful of you to attack the market formation without any reason."

There is no other way to deal with such a conceited and arrogant person except to fight him.

Xia Yuan was indeed arrogant on the surface, but in fact he was secretly alert, fearing that the sacrificial spirit in front of him might launch a sneak attack.

The people sent out by the big gate are not simple. They have experienced many battles and have the capital to be arrogant.

"I've received a report from the Qifeng Town spirits that your Dongshan Village has become a base for Great Zhou cultivators, and they're suspected of setting traps to kill nearby spirits and cultivator families. How could you, a mere statue transformed into a spirit, possess a formation inheritance and possess so many cultivators?"

Xia Yuan just wanted to find out the whole story. At the same time, he was also drooling over Lin Xiang's auction items. If he could just grab them directly, why bother spending money!

Lin Xiang had known that this day would come. As long as players existed, they would definitely be noticed.

He was originally very curious about why Yueying Palace noticed him so quickly and sent people over directly.

As a result, I found out that it was the Six-Winged Golden Cicada, the sacrificial spirit of Qifeng Town, who was responsible!

I sent the invitation to it myself, and the bug told it to Yueying Palace right away. It was really quick.

"First of all, I want to tell you that our Dongshan Village and Huanyu Market have nothing to do with the Great Zhou. I just want to build a market here. If you are willing to come in and do business, then I welcome you very much. If you are here to cause trouble, then I'm sorry, I will be angry."

Lin Xiang knew that fighting was inevitable, and he wanted to give the local forces a warning, preferably by killing a chicken to scare the monkeys.

It just so happened that Xia Yuan himself came to be the chicken to be killed, which was of course the best way to establish his authority.

"Oh? You're going to turn against me?" Xia Yuan sneered. "Just you? Just relying on this formation below? I think you're just dreaming. You don't know your place."

"There's no point in talking any more." Lin Xiang was too lazy to talk nonsense. "You can choose for yourself."

"I'll capture you first, and then I'll go see what's going on in there."

Xia Yuan then pulled out his crescent-shaped Wu Gou. This scimitar-shaped weapon was the most common magical tool in their Moon Shadow Palace, and it had a bonus effect on cultivation techniques. His divine sense couldn't discern Lin Xiang's strength, so he immediately used his ultimate weapon, Moon Shadow Shatter.

Outside of Dongshan Village, Lin Xiang would have almost no chance of winning against a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

But this is within his jurisdiction, he truly is God, not an image.

He just clenched his fair and slender palm lightly, and the sword energy that was cut by Wu Gou was directly frozen in mid-air and then crushed into pieces.

Xia Yuan widened his eyes, never expecting that his attack would be broken so easily.

The oppressive feeling brought by the sacrificial spirit of a village opposite is comparable to that of the sect’s ancestor!

Lin Xiang was omnipotent within his jurisdiction. He then took control of everything around Xia Yuan, making it impossible for him to escape.

"Let me go!"

"If you dare to kill me, Moon Shadow Palace will never let you go!"

Xia Yuan really didn't expect that he would meet a reclusive master here. His strength was simply unfathomable.

It seemed as if just a pinch from the air would turn him into a meat paste.

This kind of famous and upright sect is the most troublesome. After the young ones are beaten, the old ones come in an endless stream.

Lin Xiang was not afraid of the Yueying Palace coming to his door, he just felt it was troublesome.

I am running a business. If I keep fighting with people, who will come to the market to spend money?

So he placed his chance of success on Xia Yuan. He had to defeat this man and prevent him from having any bad intentions.

Because the black dragon that was stored in the sleeve was suddenly released, its body grew in size due to the wind, and then it consciously flew towards Lin Xiang's feet.
