The entrance to the Lingxu Market was newly decorated. Colorful spirit banners fluttered in the wind, and flowers lined both sides of the street, filling the air with a rich fragrance. The Linghe Merchant Guild had organized a large welcoming procession, its members dressed in their finest attire, carrying various magical implements, and playing cheerful music.
The moment the team members stepped into the Lingxu Market, thunderous cheers erupted. People gathered around, casting admiring glances at them. Children weaved through the crowd, tossing flowers to the heroes.
Lin Yang, along with the leaders of various factions, personally welcomed the team. He stepped forward, grasped the team leader's hand tightly, and said excitedly, "You are heroes of the Spirit Ruins Market and saviors of the entire cultivation world! If it weren't for your daring venture into danger and successfully thwarting the 'Shadow Society's' conspiracy, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
Zhao Wanbao, the head of Wanbaoge Pavilion, also remarked with emotion: "You have demonstrated extraordinary courage and wisdom in this operation. Wanbaoge Pavilion will certainly craft the finest magical artifacts for you as a token of our respect."
The elder of the Spirit Sword Sect looked at the sword cultivators with satisfaction and said, "You have won unparalleled glory for the Spirit Sword Sect. The sect will reward you handsomely. We hope you will continue to forge ahead."
Afterwards, a grand celebration banquet was held in the Spirit Ruins Market. Tables were laden with delicacies, and various spirit wines emitted an enticing aroma. Everyone raised their glasses to congratulate the team members.
At the banquet, the team members recounted in detail their adventures in the far north and the dark abyss. Their stories made everyone present feel as if they were there, sometimes holding their breath for their perilous encounters, and sometimes cheering for their heroic deeds.
With the crisis resolved, the Lingxu Market experienced unprecedented prosperity. Cultivators from all over, having heard of the Lingxu Market's successful thwart of the "Shadow Society," flocked to it. Some sought cooperation, while others sought to learn from its experience, making the Lingxu Market increasingly popular.
The Linghe Chamber of Commerce flourished, engaging in frequent trade with various parties. The Chamber not only expanded its market size but also opened up new trade routes, further amplifying the influence of the Lingxu market.
Inside the Wanbao Pavilion, cultivators flocked to purchase magical artifacts. The pavilion's artificers worked day and night, constantly crafting various high-quality magical artifacts. At the same time, the Wanbao Pavilion also engaged in exchanges and collaborations with artificer pavilions of other cultivation sects, jointly promoting the development of magical artifact crafting techniques.
The Spirit Sword Sect attracted many young cultivators who came to learn its skills. Under the guidance of their elders, the sword cultivators meticulously instructed these new disciples, passing on the Spirit Sword Sect's sword techniques and spirit. The Spirit Sword Sect also engaged in sparring and exchanges with sword cultivators from other sects to improve their own swordsmanship.
Amidst this prosperous scene, the Lingxu Market did not forget to enhance its defensive capabilities. The Linghe Chamber of Commerce continued to refine its defensive arrays and strengthen patrols and monitoring of the market. The Wanbao Pavilion constantly developed new magical artifacts to enhance its defensive power. The Lingjian Sect intensified its sword formation training to ensure a swift response to any crisis.
