Chapter 19: Damage to the Spiritual Vein
The first thing to do was naturally to put all the spiritual plants in the yard into the first generation immortal palace. Although the materials for the second generation immortal palace had also been prepared, he planned to wait until he left Lianyunfang City before refining them.

The materials this time were much better than those of the first generation Immortal Palace in both quality and quantity. The fact that the five elements of spiritual energy created soil and water also gave him new ideas. He planned to allow the second generation Immortal Palace to break free from the restrictions of the Moon Goddess Flower.

That is, there is no need for the Luna Flower, the distinction between light and dark can be created in space on its own.

At that time, you will be one step closer to the real immortal palace.

He controlled the puppets to travel between the first generation immortal residence and the yard, and transported everything in the yard into the yard one by one. In the end, only the big tree that was originally in the yard and the weeds that had not yet been given any characteristics by Fang Chen were left.

"This house should be worth a lot of spirit stones, but it's a pity that it belongs to the market and cannot be resold."

This was Fang Chen’s last thought before leaving home.

A house on the outskirts of the market town can be permanently occupied for just 100 spirit stones, but if the house is unoccupied for more than half a year, the market town will take it back.

Unless they are willing to work in the market town for their entire lives, most casual cultivators will not live in these houses for more than twenty years.

And if someone really chooses to work for Fangshi for his whole life, that would be even better. The income he creates for Fangshi will far exceed the value of this house.

To put it bluntly, this is a means to attract independent cultivators.

However, it must be admitted that if Lianyunfang City had not made this decision, the original owner's family would still have to rent a house in the market.

It would have been impossible for Fang Chen to live so carefree in the past four months.

As soon as he entered the trading area, Fang Chen's brows furrowed.

"The concentration of spiritual energy has dropped by half. What happened?"

The trading area of ​​Lianyunfang City is full of spiritual energy, which is why the houses here are not as cheap as those in the outskirts. Most casual cultivators only come here to rent a training room when they need to break through.

Every time I walk from the periphery to the trading area, I can clearly feel the change in spiritual energy.

This change is still there, but it is far less intense than before.

Thinking about it carefully, in fact, the concentration of spiritual energy outside was not as high as before, but the spiritual energy in his yard was too strong, so when he left the yard, he felt that the concentration of spiritual energy dropped suddenly, so he did not notice it at the first time.

The streets of the market town were much quieter than usual, and the occasional passers-by looked dejected.

It is very likely that he has noticed that there is something wrong with the concentration of spiritual energy in the market town, and he understands the deeper reasons.

Fang Chen couldn't help but quicken his pace, wanting to quickly reach Lianyun Pavilion and find Zhou Xingyun to find out what had happened.

The nine-story Lianyun Pavilion is still the most conspicuous store in Lianyunfang City, but the number of people visiting it has obviously decreased a lot.

It seems that the impact of the fight between the two major sects has not subsided yet.

When I walked into the lobby, the shopkeeper was still nowhere to be seen, and Zhou Xingyun was napping on the counter.

He walked up quietly and sat down at the counter, then tapped the table twice.

"Um--?"

Zhou Xingyun was awakened instantly. He looked around blankly at first. When he saw Fang Chen, his eyes became clearer instantly. He asked happily, "Fang Chen, you are here again? What's the matter this time?"

"Nothing, just saying goodbye before I leave."

Fang Chen smiled, and then raised his own question: "The concentration of spiritual energy in the trading area has dropped a lot today. Do you know what happened?"

"Today?" Zhou Xingyun looked at Fang Chen as if he were a Martian, and then asked, "How long have you not been out?"

"It's been about half a month. I've been packing up and choosing a destination. It seems that the concentration of spiritual energy has been declining for a while."

Having guessed why the other party asked this, Fang Chen answered truthfully. "Yes, the battle between the two major sects affected the spiritual veins. The third-grade upper-grade spiritual vein that Lianyunfang City relied on has degenerated into a second-grade lower-grade one."

Zhou Xingyun sighed and told Fang Chen the reason why the concentration of spiritual energy decreased.

Fang Chen did not react at first after hearing the news. He was stunned for a moment before he said, "To damage a third-grade upper-grade spirit vein, at least a Jindan cultivator would have to go all out. Didn't you say that the two major sects were just fighting for fun? Why did they send out Jindan cultivators?"

"Who knows what's going on? The two major sects actually started a real fight. Not only were all the hired cultivators wiped out, but even two Jindan cultivators died." Zhou Xingyun also smiled bitterly and told a more explosive news.

"???"

Fang Chen was completely unable to understand what was happening and could only stare with his eyes wide open in shock.

"It's incredible, right? Actually, I didn't believe it at first, but according to the information from my sixth uncle, it might be that a demon cultivator took action."

Seeing Fang Chen's expression, Zhou Xingyun lowered his voice and revealed another bombshell piece of news.

"Demon cultivator?"

Fang Chen was not unfamiliar with this word. According to the original owner's memory, this was a group of cultivators who liked to take unconventional approaches. Their cultivation techniques and spells were all extremely weird, and most of them involved the sacrifice of flesh and blood, souls, and so on.

The strange martial arts also made most of the people in this group mentally abnormal. They are all crazy and will bite anyone they see, so they can be said to be hated by everyone in the world of cultivation.

"That's right. It is said that there are demon cultivators mixed in with the recruited independent cultivators this time, who instigated the two major sects to expand the scale of the fight. As a result, it also affected the third-level spiritual veins in the Lianyun Mountains. Alas, I'm afraid that the scale of Lianyunfang City will be much smaller in the future."

Zhou Xingyun sighed again. In fact, it was not just Lianyunfang City. Their Zhou family could be said to make a living in the Lianyun Mountains, so the impact they received would definitely not be small.

Although their family is far away from here and has its own spiritual vein, without such a huge market as Lianyunfang City, much of their output cannot be exchanged for the necessary resources, affecting the development of the family.

Not to mention that the huge profits brought by the family's buy low and sell high business in Lianyunfang City every year will now be reduced a lot.

"Will it have such a big impact? Besides, isn't this third-grade superior spiritual vein in Lianyun Mountain occupied by a Jindan demon race? How could he sit back and watch the spiritual vein being affected by the battle between the two major sects?"

Fang Chen was very curious. Although Lianyunfang City was built on this third-grade superior spiritual vein, the trading area was only located on an aura node equivalent to a second-grade spiritual vein.

The real third-level spiritual vein is located deep in the Lianyun Mountains. It is the territory of a demon race that is equivalent to human Jindan cultivators.

The original form of this demon clan is a pangolin, which can now transform into a human. It is peaceful in nature, and will not actively attack human monks as long as you don't make too much noise in his territory to provoke him.

Moreover, even after transforming, he is still extremely powerful, and his scales have amazing defensive power, which can reduce most spells and physical attacks. Even if he is besieged by three Jindan monks, he can escape unscathed.

This is why the two major sects can tolerate his existence.

Otherwise, this third-level spiritual vein would have been occupied by one of the two families long ago.

"It's very strange. This demon didn't show up during the whole process. The Jindan cultivators from the two major sects also seemed to be crazy for some reason. It was said that some rare treasure had appeared, but now all kinds of news are flying around, and it's hard to tell whether it's true or not."

Zhou Xingyun shook his head. Fang Chen’s second doubt is currently an unsolved mystery and no one knows the real answer.

"As for the impact, the resources produced by the second-level spirit veins are completely incomparable to those of the third-level spirit veins. This also means that the Lianyun Market used to be able to do business with cultivators at the Purple Mansion stage and below, but now all the business at the Purple Mansion stage is gone, and the business at the Foundation Establishment stage can only be half of what it used to be. Only the business at the Qi Training stage is not affected. Do you think the impact is big?"

Zhou Xingyun could answer the first question and did not hide anything.

"But I didn't think about anything at a higher level."

Fang Chen also understood what was going on. He only thought that his level of cultivation would not be affected, but he forgot that Lianyunfang City was facing not only them, the independent cultivators in the Qi training stage, but also higher-level cultivation families and sects.

This is the bulk of their income.
