Chapter 248: Storm (30)



Just as Lin Xing and Tian Lian were discussing current affairs, a mountain city not far ahead gradually came into their sight.

Unlike the Qingming City that Lin Xing came to last time with Tianlian, the mountain city before them still had large construction sites and many buildings under construction.

Lin Xing, who was watching this scene, said in surprise: "Is this a newly built fortress?"

Tianlian said on the side: "This mountain city is called Cangjiang City. It is a city that Mingshan Sect recently renovated and rebuilt. The terrain of Mingshan Mountain changes every year, so Mingshan Sect will also expand the ground veins every year according to the changes in the terrain..."

Just as Tianlian was introducing the Cangjiang City to Lin Xing, several men in long robes came up and smiled at them kindly.

"You two, do you want to buy land?"

"Are you interested in learning about the newly opened land vein in Cangjiang City?"

Walking into the newly built Cangjiang City, Lin Xing could see many people standing on the street inviting people to buy land and houses. He asked curiously, "So many people are here to sell land. Could it be that the land here is not selling well?"

His delicate skin and smooth hair showed that he took good care of himself.

He had never thought that there would be a strong man from the third inheritance who would be willing to guard others day and night like a bodyguard.

"Now that the land price in Mingshan is about to fall, Cangjiang City will be the first to be affected. This also means that this person's luck is gradually declining. It is a good time to take it away."

Zheng Tu looked at the people making trouble outside the City Lord's Mansion and snorted coldly, "A bunch of peasants who earn two pieces of silver a day and buy a palm-sized earth vein room, and they dream of cultivating successfully and becoming equals to my Zheng family one day?"

After saying that, he looked at the Xuanyin Taoist standing beside him.

"They dream of becoming masters with the help of the earth veins, and look forward to working hard every day and, after decades of hard work, to have a earth vein of their own in Mingshan. For this, they are even willing to gamble their lives and borrow money from Mingshan to buy land and houses."

On the high tower.

Lin Xing was surprised and asked, "A master from the third inheritance is guarding him day and night?"

Walking into Cangjiang City, Lin Xing could immediately sense from his spiritual sense that this city was much more desolate than Qingming City where he had been last time.

"Zheng Tu has a lot of land in his hands. He controls seven castles on Ming Mountain alone, and this Cangjiang City is one of them."

"However, as the head of the Zheng family, Zheng Tu has always been guarded by a third-level expert day and night. If he wants to take it, his luck is not simple."

"For ordinary people who borrow money to buy land, once the land price drops, it means that all the money they earn in the next few decades will evaporate." "For those big households who buy or rent land, or rent or buy land, it will make them unable to repay their debts and they will lose everything and become slaves to the Mingshan Sect."

"Don't you think so? Xuanyin."

"In this round of operations, Mingshan Sect relies on its extremely strong military force to suppress all disobedience."

A slightly plump man with fair skin and dressed in gorgeous clothes stood on the tower and overlooked the scenery of Cangjiang City.

"Only then will they realize that the Mingshan Sect has been playing tricks on them from the beginning. It is impossible for them to have their own place in the Mingshan Sect. After working in Mingshan for decades in vain, they have become slaves of the Mingshan Sect."

It turned out that many people were blocking the city lord's mansion and shouting something.

"They all think that they can catch up with the Zheng family's accumulation of more than 500 years by practicing for 20 to 30 years."

"When I bought the land, you said that the newly repaired land veins were full of spiritual energy and the cultivation effect was the best in the whole mountain. The price would definitely increase in the future. Why are you lowering the price now?"

"And if every master wants to cultivate a unique skill and break through to the third inheritance, he needs to refine an entire earth vein."

Tianlian sighed on the side: "After the land price in Cangjiang City fell, those who bought land and houses couldn't sit still."

The Zheng family is one of the three major families in the Mingshan Sect. Its ancestor was one of the founders of the Mingshan Sect. The Zheng family has a long history and occupies an important position in the Mingshan Sect.

There was no sign of labor on the man's face or in his hands... not even the slightest sign of cultivation.

Looking at the people who came forward to sell them land information, Tianlian smiled and said, "Everyone, we are not buying land, please make way."

There were very few pedestrians on the streets, all of them in a hurry, while the rows of brand new training rooms were empty, and the small compartments were like empty beehives.

"After Mingshan Sect accepted a new batch of slaves and geniuses, Mingshan became empty again and gradually attracted new people. The land price also gradually began a new round of skyrocketing..."

Tianlian said: "The land price of Mingshan Sect has risen to the sky, and it is time for it to fall back."

"They don't understand that their skills are given to them by us, so that when they repay their debts, they can contribute more to our Mingshan Sect."

Lin Xing asked curiously, "The Mingshan Sect has been established for hundreds of years. Has the land price never fluctuated before? Why did it only fall today?"

"Of course, this is not absolute. Some talented and accomplished warriors will be accepted by the Mingshan Sect. The best of them will join big families like the Zheng family and become part of this giant."

Zheng Tu smiled and said, "You should repair the ground veins of Cangjiang City."

"I have a meditation room here. The landlord needs money urgently, so I'll sell it to you at a very low price. Would you like to take a look? There's a carriage over there. I'll take you into the city."

"People who have the financial resources to buy land have more or less realized this, so they are naturally unwilling to invest money to buy it."

Outside the City Lord’s Mansion.

"I have a newly built building on the riverside land. The owner is sincere about selling it and is willing to give a 20% discount. I'll take you two to have a look."

Lin Xing could also see words posted on the outer walls of many training rooms, all of which were banners about selling houses and land.

In Lin Xing's impression, every strong man of the third inheritance is a hegemon who can dominate the world by his own strength.

Just as the two were exchanging information about the Mingshan Sect, they heard a quarrel coming from the front.

His voluptuous figure made him stand out among the powerful men from the Mingshan Sect who were around him.

At this time, Tianlian looked at a nine-story tower in the City Lord's Mansion and said, "Look, Young Master Lin, Zheng Tu is on that tower."

Tianlian sighed, "That's why in the Mingshan Sect, there are strong men of the third inheritance who serve the sect's top leaders like slaves."

Tianlian smiled faintly and said, "Each of the nine sects has its own unique mysteries, and the geniuses of the Mingshan Sect all rely on the ground veins cultivated and built by the sect to practice."

Tianlian nodded: "The Zheng family controls many masters of the Mingshan Sect. Even if the head of the family does not practice, he is enough to dominate the area."

Hearing what Tianlian said, Lin Xing seemed to be able to see in his eyes that over the past few hundred years, the Mingshan Sect had exploited batch after batch of people who had dreamed of changing their lives.

Xuanyin Daoist nodded slightly and said, "Elder Zheng, is there anything you want me to come back for?"

Tian Lian said, "Young Master Lin, the target of your luck this time is Zheng Tu, the head of the Zheng family of Mingshan Sect. Even the head of Mingshan Sect has to call him uncle when he sees him."

"Even the newly built Cangjiang City has been affected, and many construction sites have stopped working."

And when he looked at Zheng Tu on the tower, he could vaguely feel an extremely strong aura coming from him.

“So almost every strong man in Mingshan Sect who breaks through to the third inheritance needs to make a deal with the sect, swear a blood oath, and use his future combat power and realm to buy a vein of land.”

"As more and more people come in, the land price gradually reaches its limit and starts to fall. The land or houses that these people have worked hard for their entire lives... their value will be wiped out in an instant, and they will become slaves here because of the debts they owe to the Mingshan Sect."

As Tianlian smiled, the people who had gathered at the scene were stunned, as if they had instantly ignored the existence of Lin Xing and Tianlian. They dispersed in a blink of an eye, and soon rushed towards other passers-by enthusiastically.

Lin Xing nodded slightly, remembering that the Lord of Qingming City, from whom he collected luck last time, was also a direct descendant of the Zheng family.

The man in fancy clothes is Zheng Tu, the current head of the Zheng family of Mingshan Sect.

Looking at the figures in the tower, Lin Xing said, "Could it be that the weakest one among them is Zheng Tu?"

Tianlian said: "Young Master Lin, you can't regard the land price of the Mingshan Sect as a simple buying and selling transaction, because the Mingshan Sect is one of the nine major sects in the world and has enough military force to sweep across an area."

"For a long time, whenever the land prices have skyrocketed, the Mingshan Mountains have been thriving, always attracting many people to live and practice in the mountains."

The entire Cangjiang City seemed to be abandoned.

"In the past few hundred years, there have been more than one land price drop, but the Mingshan Sect was able to survive it safely. One of the important factors is this extremely strong military force."

"The ground veins in the west of the city have not been repaired yet. How long are you going to delay? Our whole family has already paid the money!"

Lin Xing sensed something through his spiritual sense and vaguely knew what was happening.

This luck is so strong and profound that it can be said that this is the person with the most profound luck that Lin Xing has ever seen since he started practicing the Six Secret Immortal Refining Method.

Compared with this, the luck he had collected from the Lord of Qingming City before seemed insignificant.

"As expected of someone who controls many of the veins of Mingshan, his luck is truly extraordinary."

"If I want to take away this person's luck, I'm afraid I'll have to use my wits to get the upper hand..."

I have something to do, so I will update 3,000 words first, and then I will add another chapter in the evening. I will update at 6 o'clock tomorrow.
