Black Marsh Market stood between the Lanhai Sect and three outer cities on land.
It was one of the major resource procurement hubs for numerous rogue cultivators and small- to medium-sized lineages and sects.
At the same time, this market dominated by the Qin Family was also one of the Lanhai Sect's important markets for harvesting resources and wealth from outsiders.
Previously, with the shares divided evenly within the Lanhai Sect, prices at Black Marsh Market had remained consistently high year-round, leaving many rogue cultivators and lineage factions suffering untold misery.

Prices for pills, talismans, and even artifact-refining products at Black Marsh Market fell at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Basic cultivation pills supplied to Golden Core and Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, in particular, plummeted by more than thirty percent.

"Black Marsh Market has been operating for tens of thousands of years! How did vermin like you suddenly crawl into it?"
