Chapter 193, The Dawn Before Darkness

"Don't rush, speak slowly!" Lu Nan said soothingly.

"There is a fate in Fang City!"

It is not uncommon for a fate to appear in Fang City, every year there will always be some monks who can't control themselves and take action against others, but it is not the first time that the person in front of him has stayed in Xiancheng, so nervous, there must be an inside story.

"What about the specifics?"

"There are a lot of people dead, and there are still a few mid-stage Qi refining cultivators, and the people from the Foreign Affairs Department are taking control of the situation!"

It seems that things are a little bigger.

The thought of a strange calamity suddenly crossed Lu Nan's mind,

"How's it going about the last time you were asked to prepare?" Han Ping is not here, Lu Nan can call the shots in all matters in Xiancheng.

This is what everyone in the Fu shop knows.

"More than a month ago, all the rune shops around the country have stopped selling medium-grade and above rune paper, and have changed to buy ······"

The order began two months ago, and the reason why it took so long to complete it was because Lunan was trying to prolong the time for the market to be hit.

After all, there was still a year to go, and if all of them were to stop selling all of them at once, the entire cultivation world in the Tiannan Region would inevitably be shaken.

Now the influence of the rune shop under his command has surpassed the vast majority of rune shops, and it can definitely be regarded as the card face of Xiaotiannan, and in terms of rune paper, it is the rune shop of the Iron Sword Gate, which is slightly inferior.

However, as time went by, more and more people noticed the change in the situation and began to consciously accumulate materials such as talisman paper and pills.

It is conceivable that by next year, the price of materials on the market will reach what point!

Lu Nan prepared in advance, just thinking about the last wave of harvest, so that when he arrived in the Tiannan Region, he could have some capital.

"Tiannan Domain is a large domain, if there are no accidents, the resources should be extremely abundant, in the small Tiannan Domain, the price is very high, there, it should be much lower, at that time, spells, exercises, magic weapons, pills, these things, are not as valuable as here, but the spirit stone is estimated to be more valuable!"

······

After a hurried explanation, Lu Nan went out to the Fang City, and soon got the news that in the Fang City, more than ten monks suddenly killed people on a large scale, and in just a few minutes, they killed more than 20 monks in Fang City.

Fortunately, there were often patrolling monks from the Foreign Affairs Department around, and they stopped the dozen or so monks in time, otherwise, the death toll would have further increased.

However, as soon as they were subdued, more than a dozen people suddenly grew white hairs from their bodies one by one, and they died completely.

Such a terrifying picture can only be explained by a strange possession.

At that time, the situation was urgent, and the patrol monks of the Foreign Affairs Department failed to block the scene in time.

"Is this a precursor to a calamity?"

······

In the days that followed, Lu Nan's life was hardly affected.

Every day, most of my mind is focused on soul scare and sword slashing.

As time goes on, the two spells are also moving towards the proficiency level.

It had been a while since the last strange incident in the market, but in the third month, a similar incident occurred again.

Install the latest version. 】

This time it's not in Fang City, but in Lingtian.

A cloud of mist enveloped a spiritual field, and several immortal farmers who were guarding the spiritual field failed to return, and it was only on the second day that someone discovered the vision in the spiritual field.

The steward in charge of this place checked afterwards, good fellow, more than 20 people were missing in the village.

It's only one night!

He hurriedly reported to the Foreign Affairs Office, and after a fierce battle, the strange incident was put to rest.

At this time, the monks at the bottom also sensed that something was wrong, and in connection with the rising prices, they hurriedly spent the spirit stones they had accumulated, intending to buy some rune paper or magic weapons to prepare.

It is not too late for those to wake up at this time.

Because, there are still six months before the agreed time of the foundation building monks such as Lu Nan.

But even so, the good things on the market are almost extinct, and only a very small number of them are still in circulation, and they are all in some large stores.

And Lu Nan's two spells have also officially entered the proficiency level.

In terms of power, it is already stronger than the proficient-level spirit sword technique.

In addition, there is also the earth-shaking technique, which has also entered the Dacheng level, and under one foot, it can shatter a mountain of hundreds of meters, and it still has the appearance of remaining strength.

The cultivation has increased slightly, but because the cultivation time is relatively small, and it is very difficult to improve in the late stage of foundation building, there is still a long distance from the eighth layer of foundation building.

On the day of the New Year's Pass, he deliberately went back to Bailing City to take the three daughters back to Xiancheng.

However, before coming back, it took several days to hollow out the entire Bailing City.

A pin talisman shop, as well as a spiritual vein next to Bailing City.

This year, he asked people to vigorously excavate the spiritual veins, and they did not hesitate to damage the spiritual veins, but also to dig out the spiritual stones inside.

It's a pity that the time is still a little short, and in the end, only more than eight million medium-grade spirit stones were dug up.

Coupled with the first-grade rune shop and the medicine hotel, these industries, after they were disposed of, there were a total of 10 million more medium-grade spirit stones on hand.

At the moment, there are millions on hand, and when the income from other places is recovered, it is estimated that it will be a lot more.

Lu Nan was a little amazed in his heart, but when he thought about it, he could actually understand it.

As a person at the top of a small domain, in a previous life, it was almost the same as controlling a country.

Ordinary people in the country have a net worth of hundreds of thousands after picking and searching for a lifetime, but what about those at the top?

Moreover, the means and methods of making money for these people are more convenient and direct monopoly than those of the countries in the previous life, and no one dares to say anything.

In the past, there were some taboos, but now that there are no such scruples, it is not an exaggeration to achieve this level of short-term gains.

"I estimate that we, the foundation building monks, can loot one or two percent of the wealth of the entire Xiaotian Southern Region!"

Lu Nan and the third girl said.

This is actually an exaggerated ratio.

After all, there are so many monks, and everyone has more or less some spirit stones, with an average of one person having thousands of lower-grade spirit stones, and two hundred thousand monks also have hundreds of millions of lower-grade spirit stones.

This is still a conservative estimate.

Because, in the middle and late stages of Qi refining, the wealth of cultivators is multiplied.

In the middle stage of qi refining, counting the equipment or something, the net worth is at least more than 10,000 grade spirit stones, and there are more in the late stage of qi refining, and the more senior monks in the late stage of qi refining have a personal net worth of tens of thousands of mid-grade spirit stones.

To this is added some real estate.

"If I had known that this situation would occur, I would have dug up the spirit stone earlier!"

Lu Nan felt a little pity.

Of course, that's all.

A spiritual vein is not all composed of spirit stones, most of them are still spiritual soil, and only in the core area will spirit stones be born.

Excavating all the spirit stones at one time will cause damage to the spirit veins and reduce the lifespan.

Although he wanted money, he didn't want to completely destroy these spiritual veins.

After all, this departure is destined not to have too many people, and the abilities of these foundation-building monks can't be taken care of at all in a place like the wilderness.

Moreover, if there are many people, no one can say what kind of accidents will happen.

At the moment, you can only choose self-preservation first!

While taking the three daughters with him, he went to the wilderness again, and found a snake mountain in an area hundreds of miles deep.

A large number of snakes of all kinds gathered around a mountain peak forty or fifty meters high, and on the peak of the mountain were huge red snakes.

The higher it goes, the bigger the giant snake becomes, and when it reaches the top, you can see a huge mountain of meat slowly wriggling, and if you look closely, it is a red giant snake more than ten zhang long.

It suddenly raised its head, half of its body leaning out, as if sensing something.

At the same time, the whole Roshan was also alarmed.

Lu Nan landed with spiritual light, and one by one giant snakes suddenly crawled out of the resting place, crawling under the mountainside like a pilgrimage.

The huge red-blooded python on the top kept touching Lu Nan's body with its head to show its closeness.

Li Yuan and Li Yu no longer dared to approach these red-blooded pythons, they hadn't seen them for a while, the strength of this red-blooded python had grown rapidly, and it had reached the first-order upper grade, even if the ordinary foundation building monks were right, they had to deal with it carefully.

As for the other red-blooded pythons, their growth rate was much slower, and the most powerful one was only worthy of reaching the first order of the middle grade, which was equivalent to the fourth level of qi refining.

Lu Nan guessed that it should be because of the first generation devouring the dark snake in the late stage of foundation building.

With so many red-blooded snakes, the cultivation of the first generation can pass by.

Therefore, Lu Nan just left with the first generation, and the rest could only be left to fend for themselves.

"Whether you can survive or not depends on your creation!"

Lu Nan took the three daughters and landed on the head of the red-blooded snake, and then summoned a flying sword magic weapon and carried it towards the fairy city.

······

The first generation of the Red Blood Snake was placed in a wilderness closest to the Immortal City, and then quietly entered the Immortal City.

Next, everyone passed a good year with peace of mind.

Lu Nan thought that such a situation could last until April and May, but he didn't expect that as soon as the New Year passed, things changed amazingly.

On the third day of the month, a terrible thing came from the stronghold of Xiling Mountain.

"Fellow Daoists!"

On this day, Lu Nan, who was making the Qi and Blood Rune Treasure, noticed that there was an abnormality in the transmission note, and after making the Qi and Blood Rune Treasure, he took out the transmission note to activate it.

"Huang Daoyou, what's the matter?"

"I think we might have to leave early!"

Lu Nan's heart tightened, "It's only January now!" ”

"There was a weird outbreak on the side of Xiling Mountain, and last night, the stronghold was lost for a while! So, we can't afford to delay! If all the strange disasters break out, it will be very difficult to leave according to the established route! ”

Lu Nan nodded, "I understand!" What time is set? ”

"I was just about to discuss with you, in my opinion, what about 10 days?"

"Isn't it going to be too long?"

"If it's too short, time will be tight!"

"Five days!" Lu Nan replied, "You can eat as much as you want!" ”

"Okay!"

Huang Yin's attitude was very good, he knew Lu Nan's strength, and when it came to leaving, he naturally wanted to ask Lu Nan's opinion.

In his heart, he and Lu Nan are the first echelon.

"In terms of relatives, how many people do you plan to bring?"

"There won't be more than five! When something happens, you will have to trouble Daoist friends to help you more! Lu Nan said with a smile.

"Rest assured!"

Removing the mana of the transmission note, Lu Nan shook his head slightly.

Don't look at Huang Yin's good attitude, in fact, what may happen when the time comes, after all, you still have to rely on yourself.

That night, the people of all the industries under the command of the Iron Sword Gate almost all got the news from above at the same time.

All low-level resources stored are released.

In terms of price, it is almost twice as high as before, and it will only be open for five days, and after five days, the Iron Sword Gate will choose to close the mountain!

The news of the sudden rise swept through the entire fairy city like a storm, and spread in all directions at an unimaginable speed.

After several years of development, the scale of the Immortal City has been several times larger than before, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the center of the Xiaotian Southern Region, with nearly half of the monks gathered here.

Before dawn, the shops in the fairy city were crowded with monks.

The Iron Sword Gate closed the mountain, and the news was like an earthquake, which was difficult to accept.

"Why do you want to close the mountain? Could it be that there is something that even Brother Jindan can't solve? ”

"Could it be fake news?"

"How can it be fake? Previously, the industry of Tiejianmen began to shrink in all aspects, and many things were restricted from being sold, so there must be something big going on! ”

"I had a hunch, but I didn't expect it to be so serious, when the Iron Sword Gate encountered a treacherous disaster, it was also closed, is it related to the treacherous disaster this time?"

"I think, is it the top management of the Iron Sword Gate that is manipulating the market? Didn't they buy a lot of resources before? Now, I'm afraid that the time has come, and I want to stimulate prices through these bad news so as to earn spirit stones! ”

"Hehe, it's best for Daoist friends to think so, I'll go buy some supplies first, it's a matter of my family's life, it's better to be cautious!"

There have been many discussions at the bottom, and over the years, the high-level leaders of the Iron Sword Gate have often used the means of cutting leeks, and there are still some shrewd people who can see through it.

But it's one thing to see through, it's another thing to be able to block it.

Naturally, there was a lot of resentment in my heart.

Therefore, this time, such an obvious act of cutting leeks really made these people gnash their teeth, and then, take out their savings to buy things.

When it comes to their own lives, no one dares to gamble.

In just five days, Lu Nan earned about one million medium-grade spirit stones, including the proceeds from the sale of some low-grade resources in his storage bag.

Looking at the bag full of spirit stones, Lu Nan couldn't help but be a little dazed.

According to preliminary estimates, at this moment, he is carrying at least thirteen million medium-grade spirit stones, as well as several thousand high-grade spirit stones.

In addition to these, almost all the low-level resources on hand have been sold.

Of course, Lu Nan left a part for Li Yu, Li Yuan and the others, which was enough for them to use the Qi Refining Consummation.

"Everything is ready, just wait for tomorrow!"

Lunan Dark Road.

It's late at night.

In the courtyard, the light of the lantern charm sprinkled the entire courtyard.

None of them fell asleep, but landed on the roof, looking into the distance, one after another.

Layers of bricks and tiles with red paint outline the outlines of each building.

"Are you really going to leave tomorrow?"

Li Yuan had a trace of reluctance and worry in his eyes.

"I don't know what happened to them, senior sister?"

Several of her senior sisters were still in Bailing City, and although Li Yuan wanted to take them away, he didn't want to embarrass Lu Nan.

Therefore, only some resources were set aside for them.
