The continuous influx of Yun Province monks has not slowed down.
Qishui Sect After the eastern defense line of Yun Province was penetrated, the retreating monks poured into Liang Province like a tide. As one of the largest footholds in the southeast of Liang Province, Wulin Marketplace has taken on a considerable amount of people.
The space in Fangshi is no longer enough.
The guest rooms on both sides of the main street are all occupied, the temporary stalls in the Rogue Cultivator trading area are so crowded, and the backyards of several shops have been converted into temporary accommodation. Management Office The number of new faces registering to enter the shop every day is three times more than the previous month, but the number of people leaving the shop is decreasing, and most people dare not go out after entering.
Li Yuan met Management Office and Chen Yi.
"The city is going to expand." Li Yuan pushed the entry and exit registration data of the past half month to Chen Yi.
Chen Yi looked at the data and had no objection.
"The sect is also urging us," Chen Yi said, "Outpost forwarded the message and asked Fangshi to find a way to expand the capacity. Manpower and technical support can be applied for, but the materials will be funded by the sect."
Chen Yi looked up at him and said slowly.
"The Formation Materials intelligence, Devil Cultivator kills, and Auxiliary Array layouts submitted these days have never been fulfilled."
"You don't have to pay for the expansion materials, and the new shop floor is yours. It's considered a reward. Of course you have to do your part, how about it."
Li Yuan nodded, it was all right.
The expansion is moving quickly.
Li Yuan spent three days to open up an area on the east and south sides of Fang City. Twelve shops and a row of houses were expanded on the east side, and eight shops and a small storage area were expanded on the south side.
Many medicinal materials cannot be placed in storage bags and require special Array storage.
The Defensive Array method is laid simultaneously and seamlessly connects with the original Demon-Probing Array and Exploration Array in Fang City. The walls and prohibition structures in the expanded area are stronger than those in the old area, and the level of Second-Order Array Dao Minor Accomplishment is more than sufficient for a project of this scale.
After the pavilion was built, Li Yuan kept four rooms for his own use and sold the rest.
It is not difficult to find a buyer. The market is crowded with Yun Province monks who have nowhere to stay, and there are many who have Spirit Stone in their hands. What they lack is a fixed business location. Twelve of the sixteen shops were sold on the same day that they were put up, and the remaining four were also sold on the next day.
The selling price was higher than Li Yuan expected. The wartime premium combined with the short supply, the transaction price of each shop was nearly twice the usual price.
Spirit Stone was credited with a large sum of money.
During the break from selling shop space, Li Yuan divided some of the recovered Spirit Stone and began to hoard scarce materials in a planned way.
After Traveling Merchant became less and less, the circulation of materials in the market almost stagnated. There is no shortage of things that can be produced near Wulin Marketplace, such as Medicinal Pill, Talisman, Fiend Stone, and Fire Fiend Stone, all of which have stable output. However, there are some materials that cannot be produced locally and must be shipped in from outside.
Li Yuan went to Yunyang Marketplace and collected everything he could.
It costs a lot Spirit Stone, but these things will only become more expensive in the future.
On the third day after the stocking was completed, Yuanyang Sect's new task document was delivered to Management Office.
Li Yuan opened the document and scanned it.
The content is divided into two parts.
The first part requires the deployment of a new circle of Sense-Perception Array and Linked Defense Array outside the city to strengthen the city's early warning and protection capabilities.
The function of Sense-Perception Array is to sense the aura changes around Fang City. Once a monk or Demon Beast approaches, Array will automatically transmit an early warning signal to the interior of Fang City. Linked Defense Array will automatically activate the peripheral defense after Sense-Perception Array's early warning to gain reaction time for Fang City.
In the second part, Yuanyang Sect hopes to link the three Array, Outpost Array and Ruins Array in Fangshi. If an early warning is triggered at any one place, the signal can be transmitted to the other two places simultaneously.
Three-point defense.
Li Yuan After reading the document, he accepted it without much thought.
The city manager added Array Master, he should have been in charge of this matter.
The formation work started on the second day.
The structure of Sense-Perception Array is not complicated. The core is a group of Sensing Node distributed in the periphery of the city. The nodes are connected in series with Spirit-Conducting Line and merged into the Array Eye located in the center of the city. After receiving the abnormal signal, Array Eye will send an early warning to all Defense Array Formation in the city in the form of Spiritual Power Pulse.
Linked Defense Array is simpler. It is essentially a set of Defensive Restriction that can be activated remotely. It is hung on the walls and entrances of Fangshi and will automatically rise after receiving an early warning signal.
During the formation process, the multi-line parallelization of Li Yuan came in handy. The main line controlled the direction and node embedding of Array Pattern, a branch line Monitoring Array controlled the overall spiritual balance, and the other branch line was hung on the spiritual veins to ensure that the construction process did not affect the normal operation of the spiritual veins.
Sense-Perception Array outside Fangshi was finally completed.
Li Yuan squatted next to Array Eye, connected the last Spirit-Conducting Line to Sensing Stone, and as soon as the spiritual power was sent, Array lit up.
The moment Sensing Stone entered the three-foot range, Panel popped out.

[Equipment Affix preview: Array Core Sensing (white)]
[Effect: Abnormal fluctuations within the range of spiritual consciousness can be perceived, and the perception accuracy increases with the level of the spiritual soul]
[Preview of permanent conditions: A detection spell practice reaches Perfection]
White Trait.
Li Yuan put it away, stood up from Array Eye, added a new stone to the newly laid Sensing Stone position, and Array continued to operate.
Then he did the final linkage debugging between Sense-Perception Array and the original Demon-Probing Array and Exploration Array.
Three sets of Array have one tube each.
Demon-Probing Array specializes in detecting demonic energy, covering the interior and entrance of Fang City. Exploration Array monitors spiritual changes inside Fang City, with the highest accuracy but the smallest range. Sense-Perception Array covers the periphery of Fang City, with the largest range, and is the outermost early warning network.
The three layers progress from outside to inside.
After debugging, Li Yuan walked around outside Fangshi to confirm that all nodes were operating normally before returning to the stone house.
That night, Li Yuan sat at the table and calculated an account.
This month's operating results have been released.
Medicinal Pill line: Meridian-Repairing Pill and Qi-Gathering Essence Pill continue to be shipped, with extremely high profits under the wartime premium.
Purple Fiend Stone line: Fiend Cultivation Array operates stably, Purple Fiend Stone produces according to cycles, Wang Family channel and Rogue Cultivator channel run simultaneously.
Fire Fiend Stone line: After the three mines are connected, the output speeds up, Ji Huaiyuan is purchased in full, and the price is increased by 30% according to the Purple Fiend Stone standard.
Plus one-time income from the sale of the shop and market management fees.
Adding up the three lines, total revenue this month hit a record high.
Li Yuan disked Spirit Stone Reserves.
It has exceeded five digits.
This number is quite impressive for monk Foundation Establishment.
Spirit Stone Now that we have it, the next question is how to spend it.
Spirit Stone Having more just makes the choice easier, it does not mean it can be wasted.
Li Yuan put away the account books and cut a branch line to scan the spiritual veins.
Everything is normal in the direction of the spiritual veins. The spiritual energy of the main vein is still being pulled in the direction of Golden Core Formation Platform, with a ratio of about 40 to 50%, which is unchanged from the previous few days. There are two more Demon Beasts in the northern section of the branch, both of which are First-Order, and do not pose a threat for the time being.
In the internal direction of the market, Demon-Probing Array and Exploration Array are operating normally.
The aura of the mole was still in the duty position of Patrol Squad, and the shift was changed on time as usual, and the frequency of small transactions did not change further.
There is no abnormality.
Since the news of Golden Core Formation's failure came out, the mole's activities have become more restrained than before.
Li Yuan has no intention of taking the initiative to poke it.
The inner ghost is dormant, and I will continue to monitor it. When and how to move, I will wait until the time is right.
Li Yuan Take back your perception, close your eyes and do your exercises.
