Chapter 301 - 237: Whirlwind (20)
"From prosperity to decline?"
Lin Xing looked at the small buildings before him and the crowded people within, asking, "Could it be that the land prices here are about to fall?"
Tianlian nodded, matter-of-factly saying, "The owners of the ley lines believe that land prices can always rise, so they keep buying and selling ley lines."
"The generations of talents from the Ming Mountain Sect also believed that land prices would always increase, so they were willing to bet the results of their cultivation for the next few decades on purchasing ley lines."
"But there’s nothing in the world that can keep increasing in price forever, and land prices are no exception..."
As they spoke, they had already passed the long street and arrived in front of a vast group of magnificent palaces, precisely the luxurious palaces established by the Ming Mountain Sect in this mountain city.
Looking at the expansive land that featured a building every five steps and a pavilion every ten steps, Lin Xing could not help but sigh slightly at the disparity between people in this mountain city.
Lin Xing said, "Are the people of the Ming Mountain Sect within? The so-called decline in land prices, the turn of fortune from prosperity to decline... So the target you talked about, who can collect fortune, that Qingming City Lord, is he the one who keeps buying and renting land, continuously driving up land prices?"
Tianlian smiled faintly and said, "At most, this can only be called land speculation, but he is also a speculator who goes with the flow, someone who can be considered a person of great fortune."
She pointed at the crowd constantly coming in and out of the palace, saying, "Look at these, they are all people buying, selling, and leasing ley lines."
"Guess who they are borrowing money from to trade the ley lines within the Ming Mountain Range, and to whom they are borrowing money to lease ley lines?"
