"From prosperity to decline?"

Lin Xing looked at the small buildings and the crowds of people in them and asked, "Could it be that the land price here is going to fall?"

Tianlian nodded and said as a matter of course: "The owners of the land veins believe that the land price can continue to rise, so they keep buying and selling land veins."

"Generations of geniuses from Mingshan Sect also believe that land prices will continue to rise, so they are willing to gamble their cultivation results over the next few decades to buy land veins."

"But there is nothing in the world that can keep rising in price forever, and land prices are certainly no exception..."

While the two were talking, they had already walked through a long street and arrived in front of a huge palace. It was the magnificent palace built by the Mingshan Sect in this mountain city.

Looking at the vast Yaotai Qiongshi with a building every five steps and a pavilion every ten steps, Lin Xing couldn't help but sigh at the gap between people in this mountain city.

Tian Lian ignored him and said to Lin Xing, "Young Master Lin, what do you think of this person? Is he blessed with great fortune and luck?"

At the same time, Lin Xing and Tian Lian had already stepped into the depths of the palace. Along the way, they could see various antique paintings and calligraphy, natural treasures, and magical weapons that were being refined day and night, showing an unparalleled luxury.

Lin Xing said thoughtfully: "Mingshan Sect?"

Lin Xing's eyes moved when he heard this, and he thought of Ma Hong who was eliminated in the martial arts arena. He was defeated when he was fighting with Mingjing monk from Shilin Temple, when he was suddenly attacked by a poisonous insect.

Xiao Linxing, who had been silent, suddenly said, "This is not a small trick. This is the unique skill of Shilin Temple. It can change cognition, turn friends into enemies, and turn enemies into friends."

“There are so many people in the whole mountain who have comprehended the inheritance. If it weren’t for the ground veins cultivated by my sect, would they have even one tenth of their current strength?”

“All the money comes out from here and comes in from here. The land price seems to be rising every year, but do the landowners who bought the land really have more money in their hands?”

"Xuan Yin actually lost? The sect has trained him for so many years, but in the end he lost to a native of a secret realm."

“By then, the landlords and tenants will need to work hard for the Mingshan Sect for decades or even hundreds of years to pay off their debts.”

Because from his perception, he could not sense any powerful force from the other party.

Listening to the other party's eloquent words, Lin Xing used his spiritual sense to sense the study in front of him, as well as the pavilions and towers outside the study, as well as various treasures and magical weapons.

"If I hadn't cultivated the earth veins vigorously over the years, would the Mingshan Mountain Range have been as prosperous as it is today?"

He sighed: "This is how the world works. Sometimes the best fighter is not necessarily the most powerful, and the most powerful is not necessarily the best fighter."

"If I hadn't lent large sums of money to the people in the mountains, how could they have achieved the results of their cultivation today?"

Tianlian explained, "In the Mingshan Sect, the three major families have always held the power, and many successful disciples have always worked for them."

Then he saw the disciples of Mingshan Sect practicing Taoism and martial arts on a land vein with rich spiritual energy. Looking at these disciples of Mingshan Sect who were practicing diligently and their eyes were full of hope, Tianlian sighed: "In addition to the landlords and tenants, the talented disciples of Mingshan Sect who bought the land veins in recent decades will also suffer the same fate."

"The landlord has more and more land veins in his hands, but he also owes more and more debts to the Mingshan Sect."

"They spent decades practicing, but in the end they could only sell the results to Mingshan Sect at a low price, and worked hard for Mingshan Sect."

Lin Xing followed Tianlian and found that the whole way into the palace was as if he were in an empty place.

And in Lin Xing's perception, there were waves of strong attraction coming from the Lord of Qingming City, as if there was an extremely strong aura in his body, waiting for Lin Xing to collect it.

"But after the landlords and tenants go bankrupt one after another and the land prices plummet...what should these talented disciples do?"

"How many decades do we have in a lifetime? The land veins they have obtained after sacrificing decades of time have seen their value evaporate in the blink of an eye. Only then will they realize that the land veins of Mingshan Sect do not require them to spend most of their lives to exchange for them. Someone is playing a trick on them."

He could even sense that although the Lord of Qingming City in front of him was extremely weak, he had at least eight magical weapons on his body.

The middle-aged man looked at Tianlian, and a gentle smile immediately appeared on his face. He hesitated for a moment before speaking: "The land veins can speed up the speed of cultivation. Everyone is scrambling to buy it. How can the land price not go up?"

"And when they deceive you, sometimes they help you."

Along the way, whether it was the guards guarding the palace, the disciples of Mingshan who were in a hurry, or the people who were buying, selling, or renting land veins, it was not that they could not see Lin Xing and Tianlian, but they ignored them. Some guards even smiled kindly at the two of them, as if they knew them.

Tianlian and Lin Xing came to a training ground.

Standing at a land vein transaction site, Tian Lian smiled at both parties and said to Lin Xing: "In the past, because the land price kept rising, the landowners could sell some land veins from time to time to pay off their debts."

The fat man shook his head: "I don't know if he can introduce spiritual inspiration and cultivate the earth veins in the secret realm..."

The middle-aged man nodded and said in a friendly manner, "It is me. What can I do for you two?"

"The landlord collected most of the land price in rent at one time, borrowed some money to put it together, and continued to buy and rent land, rent and buy land."

But Xiao Linxing was now face to face with Tianlian, staring into her eyes, and said casually, "Do you want to know if Shilin Temple lied to you?"

"The land prices in Mingshan Sect have been skyrocketing since they were born, which makes them think that this surge will continue forever."

"Besides, my Mingshan Sect teaches disciples and cultivates earth veins. Which of my expenses does not require money and materials?"

"So they swore a blood oath with the Mingshan Sect, willing to use their combat power for most of their future lives in exchange for the Mingshan Sect's earth veins, and then use the power of the earth veins to practice."

The fat man in front of him was just like any old man in any village in the mirror world, extremely weak.

As he said this he couldn't help laughing.

"good."

Lin Xing said, "Are the people from Mingshan Sect among them? As the saying goes, when the land price drops, the luck turns from prosperous to declining... So the target you mentioned who can collect the luck, the Lord of Qingming City, is the one who keeps buying and renting land and constantly pushing up the land price?"

"Those disciples with outstanding talents do not speculate on the price of land, but buy the land veins in an orderly manner for cultivation."

At this point, Tianlian looked at Lin Xing and said, "Young Master Lin, do you think it's a problem for us to take the luck of the Mingshan Sect?"

"Guess who they borrow money from to buy and sell land veins in this Mingshan Mountain Range, and who they borrow money from to rent land veins?"

Tianlian said: "It is Mingshan Sect that lends money to landlords to buy land, it is Mingshan Sect that lends money to tenants to rent land, and it is Mingshan Sect that sells the land veins to collect money."

Tianlian said, "Our temple has some tricks to conceal our identity. Besides, this place is just the mansion of the Lord of Qingming City, not the real base of Mingshan Sect. There are no masters inside. Young Master Lin, just follow me without any worries."

Tianlian smiled slightly and said, "This can only be called land speculation at best, but he is also a speculator who follows the trend. He can be considered a person of great luck."

So Lin Xing asked, "Are you the Lord of Qingming City?"

"But those guys at Shilin Temple, if they don't lie to you, it may not be for your own good."

Lin Xing asked again: "The skyrocketing land prices, does it have anything to do with you?"

The image in Lin Xing's mind at this moment shook. A rune representing the secret of heaven appeared and disappeared from time to time, sensing the Lord of Qingming City in front of him.

Xiao Lin Xing crossed his arms and floated in front of Tian Lian, observing her: "But you don't have to worry. This method won't work easily. It requires certain conditions to be met."

"After the landlords and tenants are unable to repay their debts, the land prices will continue to plummet. After paying off the debts, a large number of land veins will be taken back by the Mingshan Sect."

"How many geniuses have been discovered by us in this way? Ask them if they are grateful to our Mingshan Sect?"

Suddenly, he raised his head and looked at Tianlian and Lin Xing, and said with a smile: "Master Tianlian, what brings you here?"

"But if land prices start to fall, the debt they owe will be far beyond their ability to repay."

"Why are you so nervous? So what if you got cheated?"

The middle-aged man, who had originally had a friendly and kind face, immediately turned cold when he heard this and wanted to drive the man away.

As if sensing Lin Xing's surprise and curiosity, Tianlian smiled slightly and introduced casually: "The Zen monks in my temple have never been very good at fighting, so they can only use some tricks to confuse people's minds to avoid fighting."

When the two arrived at a study room, they saw a fat, pale, and somewhat frail middle-aged man sitting behind a desk, carefully looking at the documents in his hands.

But Lin Xing did not act immediately, and a strange thought flashed through his mind.

Seeing Tianlian about to walk towards the palace, Lin Xing asked curiously, "Just walk in directly like that?"

"Other people are afraid of being deceived and exploited by them, but we shouldn't care. You should appreciate how they play now. This is a rare pleasure."

"If the landlords can't pay back the money, the tenants won't be able to get their deposits back, and they will also owe the Mingshan Sect a large debt."

Tianlian on the side suddenly said: "My little brother doesn't quite understand the rules of Mingshan Sect. I hope you, City Lord, will forgive me and explain it to him."

Lin Xing frowned slightly. He wanted to know whether Shilin Temple was lying to him or not.

After a moment's silence, Lin Xing said, "So the target you mentioned, the Lord of Qingming City, is the one who tricked them?"

"Everyone living on and below this mountain can now practice on the earth veins. This is the credit of our Mingshan Sect."

Even the brush that the other party just held in his hand was a magical weapon that contained rich spiritual power.

Lin Xing suddenly asked: "What is the use of this pen?"

The Lord of Qingming City smiled and picked up the pen, introducing it like a treasure: "This pen is not simple. The brush hair is made of snow rabbits in the north, and the pen holder is made of thunder sandalwood that was specially brought from overseas. It has been worshipped for a hundred years..."

Listening to the other party's endless introduction, Lin Xing suddenly interrupted and asked: "So after spending so much material and manpower to make this magic brush, it doesn't use ink?"
