Ning Yue hesitated for a long while before she finally spoke again.
“Lin Daoyou, there is something I don’t know whether I should say.”
“Ning Daoyou, you need not have any concerns, just speak freely,” Lin Jing replied.
As if she had made up her mind, Ning Yue lifted her head and said seriously:
“Lin Daoyou.”
“We cultivators should prioritize our cultivation, aiming to pursue the great Dao of immortality. One must never fall into the trap of mortal desires, or else one’s vital essence will scatter and all will have been cultivated in vain.”
After saying this, Ning Yue added another sentence.
“Of course, I am not trying to interfere with your private life.”
She then continued, “It’s just that, Lin Daoyou, your talent in the Alchemy Dao is unparalleled in this world, and you have the potential to travel even further on the path of cultivation. Even ascending to immortality is not an impossible feat.”
“If you were to sink into depravity and waste your cultivation, that would truly be a pity.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Jing knew immediately what the matter was about – the same misunderstanding from last time.
“Ning Daoyou, you are mistaken,” Lin Jing quickly explained.
Ning Yue, puzzled, asked, “Then why did that Talisman Master say what he said that day? Could it be he mistook someone else for you? That wasn’t you?” “The person he saw was indeed me, that’s not wrong.”
As soon as Lin Jing finished speaking, he saw Ning Yue’s expression darken, presumably thinking Lin Jing was making a fool of her.
Lin Jing hurriedly added:
“Ning Daoyou, please let me finish.”
Ning Yue nodded, then looked directly at Lin Jing, waiting for him to speak.
“Do you remember, previously I had asked Brother Wei about the secret market?”
After thinking for a while, Ning Yue nodded and said, “I remember. It was on New Year’s Eve when we were together at the gathering, right?”
“Correct, it was that day,” Lin Jing continued.
“Not long after that day, Brother Wei took me to the secret market. Since then, I’ve come to understand the secret market, and after Brother Wei left, I would sometimes go there on my own.”
“However…”
“The entrance to the secret market is always hidden, often in places beyond anyone’s imagination. Indeed, the reason I went there that day was because there was an entrance to the secret market.”
“I was merely using that place to pass through into the secret market.”
After Lin Jing finished explaining, Ning Yue’s face flushed red, and she suddenly felt embarrassed.
“Lin Daoyou, I’m sorry, I thought…”
Lin Jing waved his hand and said, “It’s alright, it’s good that the misunderstanding has been cleared up.”
“Ning Daoyou was concerned about me, how could I blame you for that?”
Although the misunderstanding was resolved, Ning Yue still felt extremely embarrassed. Initially, she was seeming to meddle in someone else’s private life, but it turned out to be a big misunderstanding.
After hastily exchanging a few words with Lin Jing, Ning Yue left with a flushed face.
After Ning Yue left, Lin Jing returned to his room and continued to sort through those materials.
The next day, just as Lin Jing awakened from meditation, he heard some news.
Moreover, it was a market announcement.
The content of the announcement was:
As of today, the Nanshan Market will be divided into the Inner Fang Market and the Outer Fang Market. The Inner Fang Market refers to the previous interior of the Fang Market, while the Outer Fang Market is the outer perimeter of the Fang Market.
At the same time, all members of the Nanshan Market must apply for Identity Tokens.
Starting tomorrow, the defense formation of the Inner Fang Market will be activated. Those from the Outer Fang Market wishing to enter the Inner Fang Market will need to present an Identity Token to gain entry.
The entrance to the Inner Fang Market will open every day at Chen Time and close at Xu Time. Those from the Outer Fang Market must leave the Inner Fang Market before Xu Time and are not allowed to stay overnight.
Otherwise, the Identity Token will be confiscated, and you will be expelled from the Fang Market.
Furthermore, anyone who renders great service during the beast tide will be rewarded by the Fang Market with 10,000 Lower Grade Spirit Stones, in addition to a top-grade Magic Artifact.
If the meritorious person is from the Outer Fang Market, an additional Inner Fang Market Identity Token will be gifted, for them and their family, along with a set of Inner Fang Market quarters, so they can reside together with their family.
This announcement, once issued, elicited different reactions from the people within the Fang Market.
Some people frowned and worried, feeling that with the imminent arrival of the beast tide, the Fang Market intended to abandon them, the outer ring cultivators.
Others were extremely excited, fantasizing about making a great contribution themselves and receiving the rewards, thus leading a carefree life thereafter.
10,000 Lower Grade Spirit Stones, a number many have not seen in their lifetimes, and to top it off, a top-grade Magic Artifact—something they did not even dare to dream of.
Lin Jing was different; he lowered his head and pondered the purpose behind the Fang Market’s actions.
Because Elder Yu once mentioned, in passing, that the defense array of the Inner Fang Market was constructed with the help of an Array Master from the Qingyuan Sword Sect.
Its defensive capability was astonishing, proclaimed to be unbreakable by anyone under the Nascent Soul Stage, and even if a Nascent Soul Cultivator should come, it could hold for a few days.
Now, the activation of this defense array, could it mean that the Fang Market had really received some news?
The actions of the Fang Market made Lin Jing think more deeply.
“Could it be that the large array on the outskirts of the Fang Market won’t be able to withstand the upcoming beast tide attacks, and the Fang Market is preparing to abandon those cultivators in the outer ring to hold the Inner Fang Market alone?”
Lin Jing decided that he needed to ask Elder Yu for clarity, as he surely would have some information, given that he was well-informed.
Acting on his thoughts, Lin Jing stopped his alchemy work and stepped out the door.
He first went to the Fang Market management office, spent a Spirit Stone to obtain an Identity Token, and then headed straight to the Inner Fang Market.
Upon entering the Inner Fang Market, Lin Jing made his way directly to Yuebaolou. As soon as he saw Elder Yu, Lin Jing spoke up: “Elder Yu, there’s something I want to ask you.”
“Is it about the announcement?” Elder Yu looked up at Lin Jing.
“Yes,” Lin Jing replied, and then continued, “Is this beast tide particularly dangerous? Why has the Inner Fang Market’s formation been activated?”
“Didn’t you say that even the Inner Fang Market’s formation could withstand a Nascent Soul Cultivator? Could there be Nascent Soul Stage Demonic Beasts in the upcoming beast tide?”
Elder Yu interrupted Lin Jing:
“Don’t let your imagination run wild, boy. If there were Nascent Soul Stage Demonic Beasts, I’m afraid the entire Fang Market wouldn’t survive.”
“Then why activate the large formation?” Lin Jing asked with confusion.
Elder Yu sighed and said:
“Alas…”
“This beast uprising is too abnormal, lasting a long time and already causing two beast tides, with a third on its way.”
“The Fang Market couldn’t just sit around and wait, so they decided to convene the Golden Core Cultivators from the various family clans within the market and send them deep into the Night Mist Mountain Range to investigate.”
“These Golden Core Cultivators, fearing for the safety of their clans should a beast tide hit while they were gone, put forth a request.”
“To activate the Fang Market’s defense array, and in order to prevent disturbances during the beast tide, they also want to isolate those cultivators from the Outer Fang Market.”
“That’s why this announcement was made.”
“So, it was at the behest of those family clans,” Lin Jing suddenly realized.
“Don’t be too optimistic just yet,” Elder Yu warned Lin Jing.
“Although the activation of the defense array is due to the various clans, this beast tide seems even more ferocious than the previous two; the outer defense array may not hold.”
“The Inner Fang Market has its defense array and will naturally be safe, but that doesn’t mean the Outer Fang Market will be equally unharmed.”
After speaking, Elder Yu sighed again.
“Alas…”
“It’s a pity, under normal circumstances, I could have arranged for you to come to the Inner Fang Market earlier..”
