The development of Yun Xuan Mountain Range had livened up the entire Return Profound Market City. However, the downside was also obvious—everything had become more expensive, and the price increase was not insignificant.
There were two reasons for this. Firstly, Loose Cultivators also wanted to grab a share of the benefits, which required supplies. Whether it was protective Charms, supplementary Elixirs, or Formations, all these resources were helpful. Where there's demand, there's supply, hence the rise in prices. Secondly, the Return Profound Market City's actions to transfer costs were undoubtedly a factor. Besides the increased protection fees demanded by the Black Heart Snake, various charges within the marketplace had also risen. For instance, rent had tripled, and the fee for a stall had increased fivefold. This made everyone cry foul. Thankfully, these fees would be collected next month, leaving them no choice but to raise their own prices.
