Youzhou, Xuanmiao City
Lin Jiang stood on the attic and saw the surging crowd in Xuanmiao City. The Blood Demon Ancestor really entered Youzhou. Three days ago, he committed a bloody crime in the north of Youzhou. A small sect with hundreds of people was wiped out.
Once the matter was exposed, people with a little wealth flocked to Xuanmiao City, because in the entire Youzhou, only Xuanmiao City was the safest. Although the other big cities had Fanxu in charge, it was not necessarily safe to have only one Fanxu. Don't forget that the Blood Demon Ancestor was also Fanxu.
This sudden population explosion brought great pressure to Xuanmiao City. Prices soared, and public security incidents occurred frequently. Tianxuan Sect sent a large number of people to maintain order, but it seemed to be useless.
"Boss, other businesses sent a message and decided to raise prices again."
"How much will it increase this time?" "Another
50% increase"
"Notify them and do as they say."
Lin Jiang waved his hand. It was normal for businesses to form an alliance and raise prices together.
"The price has increased fivefold in three days, you are indeed a profiteer."
"If we were the buyers, we would just curse them, but now we are profiteers, there is no need to curse our own people,"
Lin Jiang turned around and said to Weilin. He was not the only profiteer, all the businesses in Xuanmiao City did the same, he had to fit in, it was not good to stand out from the crowd.
"You cursed your own people too" "Are
you upset?"
"Yes, because for the past hundred years, I was the buyer, and I was exploited by you profiteers"
"What about now?"
"Haha, in one word, cool,"
Weilin laughed, now it was his turn to exploit others, naturally he felt very comfortable.
"There are many people from the Taixu Sect in Xuanmiao City, right?"
"Hey, how did you know?"
"I deducted half of your salary, but you are still living a happy life. Where do you get the money? Do you need to think about it?"
Lin Jiang said. Of course, this is an excuse. The real reason is that someone saw Weilin running to a certain place. Lin Jiang guessed that this kid must be in Xuanmiao City for a reason.
"The boss is really smart,"
Weilin said with a smile, but the boss would never think that he actually has another business in Xuanmiao City. Those businesses are completely copied from the boss. Whatever the boss does, he will tell the other side how to do it. Even the purchase channels are the same, all from Xiaotian City, but the scale is not as large as this one.
"When do you think this Blood Demon Ancestor can be eliminated?"
"It's difficult. The Blood Demon Ancestor is quite powerful. There are less than ten people in Youzhou who can beat him. We have to find him and trap him. The blood escape technique is famous and ranks in the top five escape techniques in the world. If you can't beat him, you can run away."
"I dare not go out until the Blood Demon Ancestor is dead,"
said Lin Jiang. His life is important, but it's boring to stay at home.
"Then boss, let's go to the Zhongmiao Tower to play?"
"No, I'll pay if we go, you poor bastard,"
Lin Jiang refused directly. Weilin's face is thicker than the city wall. He doesn't pay if he goes. He has to pay. He doesn't know any rules. Doesn't he know the rules that gambling tables don't lend money and brothels don't treat guests?

Youzhou, Tianxuan Sect
Lin Batian chased the Blood Demon Ancestor all the way, but after the Blood Demon Ancestor entered Youzhou, he lost his trace. He could only come to Tianxuan Sect.
"According to what Fellow Daoist Lin said, this Blood Demon Ancestor is not very strong, but his escape method is unparalleled?"
"That can't be said. Everyone in the Blood Demon Sutra knows that once the Blood Demon Ancestor is allowed to massacre cultivators, especially high-level cultivators, his strength will increase rapidly and he will become a big problem."
"Yes, the Blood Demon Ancestor cannot be allowed to grow. He must be killed as soon as possible. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Lin has obtained anything from the Blood Demon Ancestor. Does the Tianxuan Sect have treasures that can track his whereabouts?" "Not
yet."
Lin Batian shook his head. The Blood Demon Ancestor escaped very quickly. He only fought briefly many times. He hadn't gotten anything from the Blood Demon Ancestor.
"This is troublesome."
"I can only use a stupid method, the human wave tactic. In the name of the Tianxuan Sect, I will order all sects in Youzhou to guard against it. Once there is news, all masters will go out together."
"It's too laborious, and this method can't last long. Once it lasts for a long time, it will inevitably be slack and there will be many loopholes."
Tianxuanzong Hedao said that Youzhou could set up a net, but it couldn't last too long, maybe even a month. The whole Youzhou couldn't just do nothing and just catch the Blood Demon Ancestor. After a long time, everyone would definitely slack off, and money would be spent, but things wouldn't get done.
"In that case, Lin has no other choice."
Lin Batian shrugged. That's your business. Anyway, the Blood Demon Ancestor has left Beizhou and has little to do with him.
"Let's think about it again."
"Then Lin will take his leave first."
Lin Batian said no more. He didn't want to care about the Blood Demon Ancestor's affairs, so he took his leave first.
Lin Batian came to Xuanmiao City, and the Lin family children of the business immediately came to pay their respects. The ancestor was here, so it would be unreasonable not to pay their respects.
"You guys go first, Dongyan and Lin Wu stay."
Lin Batian exchanged a few simple greetings, then asked everyone to disperse, leaving Lin Dongyan and Lin Jiang.
"Ancestor, is there anything I can do for
you?" "I found a Nascent Soul Pill, Dongyan, take it."
"Ah, Ancestor, I..."
"No need to say more, this is what you deserve, I hope you can advance to the Nascent Soul stage in one go,"
said Lin Batian. If Lin Dongyan can achieve the Nascent Soul stage, it will be very important to the Lin family. A sixth-level alchemist with outstanding talent can bring countless benefits to the Lin family. Think about how much money Li Ruoxu could make by himself before?
"Thank you, Ancestor."
Lin Dongyan did not refuse much. No one would really refuse to do something about the realm of cultivation. Once advanced, it would be hundreds of years of life.
"Congratulations, Dongyan,"
Lin Jiang smiled. Breakthrough, the more powerful the employees are, the more benefits they will bring to him. Lin Dongyan alone can make up for the income of hundreds of people.
"Lin Wu, let me discuss something with you."
"Master, please tell me."
"Lend me some money."
"No money."
"Just a little. I spent it all on this trip."
"I really don't have any. I spent it all on marrying my little idiot. I have a lot of money."
Lin Jiang refused directly. Even his own father couldn't do that. Would he ever pay back the money he had lent out
? "Your beast pet spends so much money marrying a wife?"
"Snow demon, you can't let your aunt suffer."
"Really no money?" "
No money. Master, you don't know how much it costs to support such a large group of people. They eat and drink my food and drink, and I rent the house they live in. I also have to pay them wages. Otherwise, I will deduct all their wages and give them to you?"
"That doesn't seem good."
"There's nothing wrong with that. You are the master of the family, you have the final say,"
Lin Jiang said. If you dare to agree, he will cheat you out of money, lend you 10,000 spirit stones, and deduct 20,000 spirit stones from their wages.
"Then forget it,"
Lin Batian said embarrassedly. The Lin family members were workers for Lin Jiang, and it was all their wages. How could he have the nerve to ask for it.
"That's nothing. I'll leave first, Patriarch."
"Wait a minute, I have some sundries here, can you help me deal with them?"
"Yes,"
Lin Jiang took the storage bag from Lin Batian and scanned it with his spiritual sense. There were indeed some sundries inside, but it was obvious that Lin Batian was really out of money.
Lin's income is actually not low now, and it is increasing every year, but Lin's expenses are also very large. Who can blame Lin for being fertile? The number of offspring increases greatly every year, and he has also divided most of the territories in Xiaotian City.
Lin's finances are a mess, and Lin Jiang doesn't want to care about it at all. If he takes over this mess, he can't get out of it. He just needs to take care of himself.
Lin Dongyan got the Infant Pill and went into seclusion within a few days. Lin Jiang paid for him to rent the top cave in Xuanmiao City. Otherwise, he would definitely fail to break through due to insufficient spiritual power.
People in other places in Youzhou are now in a panic. The Blood Demon Ancestor appears from time to time, commits bloody crimes repeatedly, and even begins to kill Yuanying. Tianxuan Sect has repeatedly taken action but failed to stop the Blood Demon Ancestor, which makes Xuanmiao City more strangely prosperous, because more and more people have fled to Xuanmiao City.
In the whole incident, it seems that only those profiteers are the ultimate beneficiaries, and the direction of the whole incident reveals weirdness.
