Spiritual power circulates in a circle and naturally returns to the dantian within the body, mixing with the original spiritual power.

To solve this problem, he can only quickly elevate the realm of the Five Elements Glazed Heart Lamp to Mastery, Small Success... to greatly increase its maintenance time, exceeding the time it takes to circulate once through the Five Elements Pure Yang Technique.

Only in this way can he thoroughly attend to every trace and thread of spiritual power in his dantian, purify it completely.

However, even so, as long as he continues to utilize the Five Elements Glazed Heart Lamp to purify and refine spiritual power, unknowingly, the purity of the spiritual power within him will increase significantly.

Both its power and the speed of operating his cultivation technique will continuously strengthen.

After a complete cycle, Zhou Changwang stopped operating the cultivation technique.

Then he hurriedly used the Five Elements Glazed Heart Lamp again.

Eighteen breaths later, he cast the magic.

Five Elements Glazed Heart Lamp +1

Under the illumination of the Heart Lamp, Zhou Changwang once again controlled the spiritual power to operate his technique.

Thus, it goes round and round.

The next day.

Zhou Changwang went out once more.

This time, he headed straight to the Talisman Inn.

At this moment, the Talisman Inn had its door half-covered, and when Zhou Changwang entered, he saw the owner Wei Xingyuan cutting talisman paper.

Seeing Zhou Changwang, he quickly put down what he was doing and said in surprise, "Zhou Talisman Master, do you have another batch of finished talismans in hand?

Last time, thanks to Zhou Talisman Master stepping in to help me complete that batch of finished talismans, otherwise I would have been in big trouble.

The Bai family and the Chen family are not easy to deal with.

By the way, I don’t know if you’ve heard, but Lin’s Talisman Shop about a hundred meters away from my store has closed down."

"Closed down?

What’s the reason?"

Zhou Changwang was taken aback.

He didn’t expect that Wei Xingyuan was so talkative; even before he spoke, the other party started talking and caught his attention.

"Isn’t it because of the struggle between the two families?

The Bai family needed fifty finished talismans, and the Chen family straightforwardly demanded a hundred.

I managed last month, thanks to you, and completed the quota without making much spirit stone, but at least I got through it.

But Lin’s Talisman Shop couldn’t make it; they barely managed a hundred, and when members of the Chen family came, they ended up giving all to them. When the Bai family arrived and found nothing left for them, they couldn’t accept it.

They directly brought several Market Guards, accusing the shop owner of colluding with Tribulation Cultivators, and threw him in the marketplace prison. It’s said his family gathered two thousand lower-grade spirit stones to ransom him back.

But that shop can no longer open up again.

Also, Zhao’s Talisman Shop in the East District couldn’t complete the quota either. Luckily, Zhao formed a connection with a steward from the Chen family, so although they’re safe now, they live in fear.

When I bumped into them last time, they told me the marketplace is becoming unbearable."

Wei Xingyuan spoke with a worried look.

As the saying goes, the misfortune of others evokes sympathy.

Although he got through this month safely, what about next month?

When two tigers fight, one is bound to get hurt.

But before their struggle even begins, the commotion is enough to seriously harm small shops like his, or even directly destroy them.

Even if we move, they can move, but their family properties, connections, and assets are all in this marketplace, how can they be easily relocated?

Starting anew in a different place isn’t that easy.

And that, too, is their dilemma.

The only hope now is for the struggle between the Bai and Chen families to end soon.

"The marketplace has indeed become much more chaotic lately.

There was even an assassination incident recently, and no one knows how it ended."

Zhou Changwang also felt a sense of lament.

As the conflict between the two families grows, the cultivators in the marketplace are bound to suffer.

Being alone, he’s less affected, but he’s forced to halt the cultivation of the Thunder Spirit Rice Tree and compelled to prohibitively transplant the Centennial Spirit Tea Tree, a Third-Grade Spirit Plant...

For someone like Wei Xingyuan with assets, it’s even harder.

His store is the link connecting various talisman makers; once closed and relocated, it’s not easy to rebuild connections and establish a store like Talisman Inn in a new marketplace.

Not to mention, his Wei family has been rooted in the marketplace for nearly decades, with more than a dozen people, most of whom are mortals, who, if relocated, may reduce in number by half before reaching the next marketplace.

"What could have happened with the assassination incident? Without finding the Tribulation Cultivator, it was left unresolved. Meanwhile, the marketplace became even more unstable, with people taking advantage of the situation to reap benefits and harm others. Many people got unknowingly involved, captured, and sent to the marketplace prison.

Each required a thousand lower-grade spirit stones to bail, and if no one outside could gather the spirit stones in time, they ended up being taken to the mining mountain for work after being held for only a few days.

Speaking of the mining mountain, it brings to mind the Fire Crystal Geng Iron ore vein discovered recently.

Recently, a large-scale battle broke out there.

The main conflict is between two faction forces vying for control over the ore vein, with rumors of hundreds dead.

Even the leader of one faction, the head of the Rakshasa Gang, died in that battle."

Wei Xingyuan sighed with emotion.

Zhou Changwang silently nodded, simply listening.

It serves as an insight into the current situation of the marketplace.

As for the death of the Rakshasa Gang leader... Although he had previously killed a few Rakshasa Gang members, that was provoked by them, and since the Rakshasa Gang hasn’t pursued him, he considered it a non-event and wouldn’t bother with it anymore.

The leader’s death has little to do with him.
