The situation in the Yue Kingdom changes rapidly, leaving one overwhelmed.

The Profound Sound Pavilion’s defeat is undeniable. After a year of discussions, they finally sold all the sect’s spiritual veins at a high price to Li Huo Palace and the Divine Sword Sect.

Although Li Huo Palace and the Divine Sword Sect paid a hefty price, they also avoided prolonged warfare, making it a profitable exchange.

As for Celestial Profound City, it is struggling to hold its ground amidst this tumultuous situation.

Lin Chang’an was eighty-nine this year.

“Old Lin, I heard that after the Profound Sound Pavilion sold their spiritual veins, Master Su from Celestial Profound City is also in negotiations with Li Huo Palace and the Divine Sword Sect.”

Watching Old Hu speak excitedly, Lin Chang’an understood.

“Master Lu and the others from Celestial Profound City have always had a foundation in the Demon Beast Abyss. They previously returned to plan their Core Formation, so it’s understandable they would leave now.”

This did not surprise Lin Chang’an.

In such life-and-death struggles, eventually, it’s the Core Formation cultivators who decide the outcome.

With the situation now clear, Celestial Profound City naturally doesn’t want to waste their efforts here, especially since they’ve achieved Core Formation.

The Divine Sword Sect and Li Huo Palace, these two allies, have also started competing secretly after seeing the favorable situation in the Yue Kingdom.

Of course, this competition is about which of the two sects can gain more benefits.

After all, such a large interest in the Yue Kingdom will take time for the two sects to digest.

“The clouds of turmoil have shifted; I never expected the Yue Kingdom to ultimately fall into the hands of the two major sects.” Old Hu sighed deeply.

“Indeed, with Li Huo Palace and the Divine Sword Sect splitting the Yue Kingdom, just these spiritual veins alone will take a hundred years to digest, and the fires of war in the Yue Kingdom can truly come to an end.”

Lin Chang’an nodded in agreement, relieved that at least his old friends could live peacefully for some time.

Though relative peace is approaching, he dared not remain in the Yue Kingdom.

After all, with his Phoenix Cry Bird and these years of service to Celestial Profound City,

even if he’s not held accountable, they would likely force him to serve the sect, robbing him of his freedom.

But Old Hu quickly transformed his excitement back into his typical expression.

“Old Lin, this is good news for us. Both Celestial Profound City and the Profound Sound Pavilion are preparing to head to the Demon Beast Abyss.

Word is spreading outside that the cost to travel with the spirit ship is only eighty percent of the usual rate.”

Since the situation turned unfavorable, their black market business has become a thing of the past. Though still profitable, no one wants to buy shops or spirit fields anymore.

Everyone fears that if major powers move into Celestial Profound City later, these assets will become burdensome.

Old Hu naturally saves wherever he can.

After all, moving to a new place means starting over from scratch.

“Eighty percent is quite a saving on spirit stone expenses.”

Lin Chang’an nodded internally. He had inquired before, knowing that these trade companies in the Demon Beast Abyss are not cheap to travel with.

Although he can earn spirit stones, traveling such a long distance to the Demon Beast Abyss is primarily for his Core Formation pursuit.

Whether it’s Core Formation spiritual objects or the Tier Three demon cores needed for the Three-Turns Pill Condensation Secret Technique, they all require a lot of spirit stones.

What he earns is simply not sufficient.

“Moreover, carrying too many spirit stones or supplies can easily attract attention.”

Lin Chang’an reflected silently, knowing that the Immortal Cultivation Realm has people with keen senses. Once the spirit stone quantity becomes excessive, the surrounding spiritual energy becomes very dense.

“Spend what’s necessary, and only keep a normal range of supplies.”

With a glint in his eyes, Lin Chang’an decided to use this time to purchase a large amount of spirit liquid to nourish his lifebound spirit plant.

After establishing himself in the Demon Beast Abyss, he would have ample time to refine pills and talismans.

Even spiritual artifacts are valuable for their quality, not quantity.

“Old Lin.”

At this moment, Old Hu, rubbing his hands with a fawning smile, said:

“Don’t you have old connections with those two Masters from Celestial Profound City? If there’s a chance, getting a ride on Celestial Profound City’s ship is much better than the Profound Sound Pavilion.”

Seeing Old Hu’s expression, Lin Chang’an waved his hand with a wry smile and said:

“Old Hu, if Celestial Profound City really wants to leave, do you think they’d do it secretly?”

The two major sects would gladly ensure a peaceful transition.

And for major forces like Celestial Profound City and the Profound Sound Pavilion, such a move would naturally cause a stir. If there were spirit ships, no one would mind earning more.

“That’s true. These trade companies, profiting from these spirit stones, can cover all the expenses for a round-trip spirit ship.”

However, after Old Hu left, Lin Chang’an still personally visited Master Song Tingshu.

He had sent so many spirit stones over the years,

maintaining connections precisely for critical moments like these.

…

Celestial Profound Peak.

“Mr. Lin, I understand your intentions.”

When Lin Chang’an approached with a smiling face and the profits from the black market during this time, he also discreetly inquired.

Song Tingfeng, who became a Fake Pill Master, did not feel estranged, but sighed and nodded:

“The news outside was also released by us. Just as Mr. Lin speculated, with the Profound Sound Pavilion retreating, Celestial Profound City cannot stand alone.

It would be better to take this opportunity to sell the spiritual veins at a good price.”

Sure enough, after hearing this, Lin Chang’an sighed inwardly, seeing the situation in the Yue Kingdom clearly.

“However, the migration won’t happen so quickly. Senior Sister Su has already purchased two giant spiritual ships from Sea Abyss City; by then…”

With a broad smile, Lin Chang’an nodded, simultaneously expressing his desire to seek fortune in the Demon Beast Abyss.

Of course, what needs to be given will certainly be given.
