Chapter 46: Chapter 46 Fang Market Announcement
Translator: 549690339
Not only here, but many places had collapsed buildings; most people could only sit and rest on the rubble.
However, compared to those who had died, they seemed to be especially fortunate.
Soon, daylight fully broke, and the sun also rose.
People from the Fang Market finally arrived.
Everyone also learned why there were no members of the Fang Market Guard Squad last night to slaughter the Flame Poison Centipede.
Last night, a beast tide struck, attacking the Fang Market.
Since the Fang Market Guard Squad was fully engaged in repelling the beast tide last night, this led to a significant vulnerability within the market.
And that Flame Poison Centipede, it took advantage of the Fang Market Guard Squads battle with the Demonic Beasts, at a time when they could not spare the effort, to dig underground and stealthily enter the market.
In addition, the management of the Fang Market also issued two announcements.
The first was that due to the beast tide last night, the Fang Market Guard
Squad suffered great losses and decided to recruit a large number of guards.
The second was that considering the ongoing violent activities of the Demonic Beasts outside, to prevent another beast tide from occurring, the Fang Market had decided to establish a large Defensive Array on the perimeter.
Every cultivator residing within the Fang Market would need to hand over Spirit Stones.
Indeed, before noon had even arrived,
Steward Jiang had brought people here.
Lin Daoyou,
Steward Jiang came over and greeted with clasped hands.
Steward Jiang, Lin Jing returned the greeting with clasped hands.
Steward Jiang turned his head and looked around; all around were ruins and rubble, as if an earthquake had occurred, with not a single house intact.
This Flame Poison Centipede, truly
Steward Jiang sighed and then said to Lin Jing:
You must have heard about the two announcements issued by the Fang Market today, Lin Daoyou.
Naturally, Lin Jing spoke up.
May I ask how many Spirit Stones are needed for the construction of the formation this time?
Steward Jiang did not answer but took a step forward, getting closer to Lin Jing.
Lin Daoyou, please dont be in a hurry.
Actually, this time its not only about the formation. The Fang Market has also decided to collect next years rent in advance.
Moreover, theres
The damages to the Fang Market Guard Squad were not small this time, the Guard Squad also needs replenishment, hence, each household will need to pay some protection fee to maintain the operations of the Guard Squad.
After all, they are risking their lives to battle the Demonic Beasts for your safety, it wouldnt be right if you all did nothing and reaped the benefits.
Lin Daoyou, wouldnt you agree thats only fair?
Mmm, I understand, Lin Jing replied.
Steward Jiang, how much do I need to pay in total this time? Just tell me.
Lin Daoyou, the rent within the Fang Market has risen; each household needs to pay 20 Low Grade Spirit Stones every year. Additionally, for the construction of the formation, it is 30 Low Grade Spirit Stones,
Finally, for the protection fee needed to sustain the Guard Team, its paid monthly, 10 Low Grade Spirit Stones each time.
All together, thats a total of 60 Low Grade Spirit Stones.
At this point, Steward Jiang changed his tone and continued:
If Lin Daoyous Spirit Stones are insufficient, its not a big issue. You can choose to join the Guard Squad.
If you join the Guard Squad, you wont need to pay any Spirit Stones, and, moreover, the Fang Market will also provide you with a monthly allocation of
Spirit Stones.
Of course, if you feel that the Guard Squad is too dangerous, you can also choose to help with the construction of the Defensive Array, which can offset some of the Spirit Stones you need to pay.
Lin Daoyou, what do you think which option will you choose?
Rest assured, Steward Jiang, I have enough Spirit Stones. Here you are, Lin Jing said.
Having said this, Lin Jing took out 60 Low Grade Spirit Stones from his bosom and handed them to Steward Jiang.
Once Steward Jiang received the Spirit Stones, he said, Lin Daoyou, this afternoon, we will arrange for people to repair your house.
Dont worry, they are professionals, very fast, and will definitely not delay your rest tonight.
After saying this, he pointed to the courtyard next to them and said:
Lin Daoyou, if Im not mistaken, the courtyard next door belongs to Daoyou Wei, right?
Yes, Lin Jing answered.
I see hes not here, when he returns, please notify him to go to the management office to pay the fees as soon as possible, Otherwise, in three days, well take back this courtyard and rent it to someone
After Manager Jiang spoke, he prepared to leave.
Manager Jiang.
Lin Jing called out to him.
Brother Wei is not around recently, so how about this, Ill pay the fees for him.
You?
Manager Jiang was stunned for a moment; it was his first time encountering someone paying Spirit Stones for a neighbor.
Thats fine,
Manager Jiang said.
If someone was willing to pay the Spirit Stones, it would save him a lot of trouble later on, so why would he object?
After speaking, Lin Jing took out another 120 Lower Grade Spirit Stones and handed them to Manager Jiang.
And for them, Ill pay for them together as well.
Manager Jiang looked in the direction that Lin Jing was pointing, where an ordinary-looking woman was meditating, and next to her, a little girl was lying on a wooden board covered with bedding, sound asleep.
It was indeed Ning Yue and Luo Luo.
Ning Yue had used a secret technique forcibly out of desperation to save Luo Luo yesterday, and suffered heavy injuries; she was currently meditating to heal.
Luo Luo, on the other hand, hadnt slept well the night before and had been frightened, so she was there sleeping soundly.
If thats the case, then I will accept it.
Manager Jiang said as he took the Spirit Stones, and then he said farewell to Lin Jing, ready to leave.
Before leaving, Manager Jiang leaned close to Lin Jing and whispered: Lin Daoyou, that Daoist Ning Yue is a good person, and quite virtuous
But
Im afraid its not very likely between you two. She and Daoist Su were very affectionate, I have seen it with my own eyes, even though Daoist Su unfortunately perished
From what I see, Daoist Ning Yue probably wont accept anyone else in this lifetime.
Lin Daoyou, its better you heed my advice and give up
Lin Jing couldnt help but smile wryly; Manager Jiang had actually thought of this possibility.
Manager Jiang, you have misunderstood.
Ive been studying the art of Alchemy recently, and Daoist Ning Yue is somewhat like my master.
Manager Jiang said sheepishly:
Oh, I see. Thats how it is.
Sorry, I thought Lin Daoyou you had that kind of intention towards Daoist
Ning Yue.
Ive made you the subject of a joke.
Its all right, its clear now, Lin Jing spoke up.
By the way, Lin Daoyou, since you are a Pill Master, I must advise you to stock up on Alchemy Ingredients these next few days.
With the Demonic Beast Wave assault, many small families and minor Sects Spirit Fields have been destroyed and, because of the Demonic Beast Wave, trade routes are not that smooth. Transporting from other places will greatly increase costs.
I estimate that in a few days, the prices for Alchemy Ingredients will skyrocket.
Perhaps out of guilt.
Manager Jiang imparted this piece of news to Lin Jing before leaving.
This information was extremely useful for Lin Jing.
He just happened to need a large amount of Alchemy Ingredients.
In the past three months, while he was cultivating, his work in Alchemy had never stopped.
In three months, he had made more than a dozen Pure Elixirs, and since he couldnt use so many himself, he sold a few in the black market.
Plus the money he got from selling other Elixir Medicines, he now had over 6500 Spirit Stones.
This was also why he was so forthright when Manager Jiang came to collect Spirit Stones.
Now that he had gotten this news.
He was going to start buying Alchemy Ingredients in bulk..
