As the words fell, the chilling pressure gradually faded away.
"Bang!"
Liao Cai'er suddenly pushed open the door, looked at Lin Xiuyuan with an uneasy expression, and said:
"Brother Xiuyuan, you've been going out a lot lately. What's going on outside? Please don't hide it from me. Have you heard anything from my brother? I'm going out to find the Seven Knives Society later to ask them!"
Lin Xiuyuan sighed inwardly. At this point, there was no point in hiding it anymore.
Although Liao Cai'er hasn't gone out much lately, focusing all her attention on breaking through to the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, and because she offended a disciple of the Golden Sea Sect, it's even more inconvenient for her to go out.
However, after hearing what that steward from the city lord's mansion said, anyone with a brain could tell that the situation in Beihefang City had definitely reached a critical point.
Otherwise, why would a full-scale conscription be necessary?
Moreover, Liao Cai'er is quite intelligent!
Lin Xiuyuan then truthfully replied, "The situation outside has indeed been very bad lately. I've heard some rumors that it might be related to the Demon Realm, or perhaps the Northwest Demonic Path..."
"The chaos outside the market was probably caused by the appearance of a secret place near Hundred Python Mountain, which attracted cultivators from all over the Southern Frontier and caused a lot of disputes."
"I suspect that what Brother Yong mentioned about the operation he participated in with the Seven Knives Society was probably related to the opportunity that appeared at Hundred Python Mountain..."
Lin Xiuyuan also shared his guess to prevent Liao Cai'er from overthinking.
Hearing Lin Xiuyuan's words, Liao Cai'er's face paled. From the simple description, she knew the dangers outside.
An unexpected opportunity has arisen, attracting countless cultivators in the Southern Frontier. Now it seems that even a powerful force has intervened, otherwise why would martial law be declared in Beihe Market?
Liao Yong's involvement in matters outside the home also seems to be related to this opportunity, so how could Liao Cai'er not worry?
Seeing Liao Cai'er's expression, Lin Xiuyuan quickly said, "Don't worry too much. Brother Yong is a lucky man. Next time I go out, I will ask Jin Yuan Ge for information and also ask the Seven Knives Society."
"I will offer some reward to some active gangs in the wild to help search."
"Don't overthink it. Worrying won't help. Your most important task right now is to break through the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top. When that happens, you'll transcend the mortal realm and enter the profound path of cultivation. Wouldn't that be able to help Brother Yong?"
"Otherwise, even if we have news about Brother Yong, we won't be able to help, and that would be the worst situation!"
Under Lin Xiuyuan's reassuring words, Liao Cai'er gradually calmed down, nodded, took a deep breath, suppressed the turmoil in her mind, and said, "Thank you, Brother Xiuyuan, thank you for your trouble."
...
Seeing that Liao Cai'er didn't say anything more, she returned to her room.
Lin Xiuyuan sighed, rubbed his forehead, and muttered to himself, "The entire city has been conscripted, and martial law has been imposed... I hope we'll hear from Brother Yong soon."
"My cultivation level is still far from sufficient, so I can forget about high-level talismans for now. The only way to improve my skills is through mid-level talismans. In addition to the Fire Cloud Talisman and the Thorn Talisman, I also need to start working on the crafting of other talismans."
"Mid-level exorcism talismans are remarkably effective against demonic cultivators' techniques, and there are also qi-concealing talismans, which are extremely practical..."
Although the benefits are multiplied, and with resources to assist in cultivation, the cultivation level increases rapidly, enough to rival the geniuses with dual or even single spiritual roots, time waits for no one!
The situation has now reached a critical point, and it remains to be seen what the final impact will be.
If things get chaotic, those Golden Sea Sect cultivators will likely not let them go and will definitely take advantage of the chaos to attack and kill them!
After a period of accumulation, the success rate of Fire Cloud Talisman and Thorn Talisman has reached a considerable level; just continue to accumulate them slowly.
Water Shield Talismans are also a stable source, ensuring a steady income. This reduces the number of times you need to craft them, freeing up time for other talismans.
Despite the severity of the situation, Lin Xiuyuan did not worry unnecessarily. Instead, he maintained his regular schedule and steadily improved himself, which he considered the best course of action.
Outside, the issuance of the conscription order and the city lord's announcement of martial law in Beihefang City initially caused quite a stir, but things quickly stabilized.
With the Golden Sea Sect in charge, it's unlikely to cause too much chaos unless a large army is pressing in.
However, many shopkeepers and monks, sensing that the situation might worsen further, left Beihefang City directly.
However, this did not diminish the bustling atmosphere of Beihe Market much. For most cultivators, the emergence of this opportunity was actually a chance to thrive.
In particular, the existence of this secret place has certain limitations and is more suitable for low-level cultivators.
Therefore, despite the strict identity checks due to martial law, a large number of low-level cultivators still flock to Beihefang City every day.
Furthermore, many foreign caravans have been traveling back and forth more frequently, clearly hoping to profit from the war!
This place is the very frontier of the human race in the southern wilderness.
This brought a lot of news, which calmed down many worried low-level cultivators, such as Lin Xiuyuan.
"Over at Hundred Python Mountain, due to the emergence of opportunities in the secret realm, the figures of demonic cultivators from Lingnan have been frequently appearing, leading to numerous conflicts with the cultivators from our Nine Kingdoms Alliance..."
"It seems that even high-level cultivators have suffered the same fate. In the struggle for ownership of the opportunities in this secret place, sometimes even Golden Core cultivators can be seen taking action, with Samadhi True Fire burning the heavens and earth."
"..."
As time went by, the news from the wilderness became clearer.
At least, we now know that it's not because of a war with the Demon Realm that the Southern Frontier War will be reignited.
