Chapter 219: Chapter 35: Stage II of Ghost Market_2

Even occasionally, they could see the figures of fearsome Golden Core Masters!

“Fellow Daoists, is this your first time here in the second layer? I’m a humble person, who has participated in the Ghost Market dozens of times. I am familiar with the situation here in the second layer, and if you want to understand, just ask.”

Not far away, a white-faced, beardless old man came over with a smile, addressing Wang Ba and Zhao Feng.

Zhao Feng immediately asked, “Why are there so many Foundation Establishment Cultivators here?”

Curiosity also peaked in Wang Ba and he could not help but prick up his ears.

To their surprise, however, the old man did not respond, just rubbing his fingers together with a smile.

Having traveled in the outside world for many years, Zhao Feng naturally understood the old man’s meaning, and asked with a slight frown:

“How many Spirit Stones?”

“Hehe, my fee is not expensive, just one middle-grade Spirit Stone is enough, and I’ll tell you everything.”

At these words, Zhao Feng instantly turned to Wang Ba without changing his expression.

“Junior fellow apprentice, you pay. I don’t have a single Spirit Stone on me.”

Wang Ba: ?

Did you not defeat countless Demon Cultivators?

Where are the Spirit Stones?

However, he was not short of a middle-grade Spirit Stone, and quickly took out one to give to the old man.

The old man was instantly overjoyed and became even more enthusiastic:

“The two of you must be reincarnations of celestial beings, reincarnations of great virtue, whom the sun and the moon bow their heads to as soon as they see them, and the earth and sky dim upon encountering them…”

“My friend, better answer our questions quickly.”

Wang Ba reminded the old man.

“Hehe, yes, yes, I just haven’t opened for a long time… cough, the second layer of the Ghost Market, is connected to the entirety of the first level of the twelve Linglong Ghost Markets within Yan State. The Foundation Establishment Rogue Cultivators of Yan State make up 20% of the Ghost Market, so the number is naturally high.”

Upon hearing these words, Wang Ba was amazed as well.

No wonder there are so many Foundation Establishment Cultivators here.

However, wasn’t the Linglong Ghost Market afraid of attracting the attention of Yan State’s sects by gathering so many Foundation Establishment Cultivators?

He asked this question immediately.

But upon hearing this, the old man showed great confidence:

“The background of this Linglong Ghost Market is not so simple, don’t worry. Not just the sects of Yan State, but even if the neighboring Song State, Lao State, and Qiao State… I doubt many sects are capable of harming the Ghost Market!”

Upon hearing these words, Wang Ba and Zhao Feng exchanged a look, both of them barely hiding their surprise.

“May I ask what exactly is the foundation of this Linglong Ghost Market…”

Wang Ba hurriedly asked.

“I can’t say, I can’t say!”

The old man straight away shook his head, looking profound and mysterious.

But when Zhao Feng narrowed his eyes at him, the old man couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart!

He felt a fearsome sword intent aiming at him.

Even though he knew that fighting is forbidden in the second layer of the Ghost Market, he still can’t help being nervous.

In a hurry, he explained, “Hehe, actually I also do not know. Really, I swear I would not dare to lie. All I know is, the Immortal Master of Nascent Soul of the Zhenling Palace, the top sect of Yan State, once personally took action against the Linglong Ghost Market, and ended up with a loss.”

“Since then, no sect dared to take action against the Linglong Ghost Market.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba was shocked.

The Immortal Master of Nascent Soul could not do anything to the Linglong Ghost Market?

The Sect Hierarch of Tianmen Cult is also an Immortal Master of the Nascent Soul, does that mean the Linglong Ghost Market does not fear the Tianmen Cult?

Of course, it can’t be certain because the gap between the Masters of Foundation Establishment is already huge, not to mention the Immortal Masters of Nascent Soul.

But anyway, the Linglong Ghost Market indeed has some mysterious background, as this old man said.

Would such forces go to so much trouble to build so many Ghost Markets and set up numerous teleportation arrays, just to facilitate the exchange of resources among the Rogue Cultivators?

Wang Ba had numerous thoughts running through his mind.

But he pushed them all down.

Even if the Linglong Ghost Market has some ulterior motives, he is just a small Foundation Establishment Cultivator and it has nothing to do with him.

Anyway, he was just here to purchase resources for cultivation.

The two of them then asked a few more questions.

The old man was indeed knowledgeable and patient, answering all of Wang Ba and Zhao Feng’s questions without any impatience.

“By the way, it is said that there will be a quota distribution for the third level of the Linglong Ghost Market. If you two are interested, you may go over there later to have a look.”

Before leaving, the old man specifically pointed to a palace in the distance.

The two of them nodded.

After the old man left.

Zhao Feng immediately said, “Junior brother, I will first go around and see if there are any resources suitable for me. Let’s meet later in front of that palace entrance.”

Wang Ba hurriedly stopped him: “Senior brother, didn’t you run out of spirit stones?”

Zhao Feng smiled: “When I was cultivating, I lacking spirit energy so I had to consume all my spirit stones. However, I still have many storage bags from those demon cultivators, which contain some magic tools. They should be able to make up for some spirit stones.”

Only then did Wang Ba nod his head. Suddenly, he remembered something and hurriedly took out the few highly pure spirit chicken essences from his storage bag and gave them to Zhao Feng.

“Good stuff.”

Zhao Feng took it over and looked at it, but then he gave it back to Wang Ba:

“My Taoist body is formed from the condensation of souls, so these are useless to me.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba had no choice but to let it go.

He said, “Senior brother, if you lack spirit stones, you can come to me.”

Although he does not have much himself, he can exchange them for spirit chicken essence.

“Don’t worry, if I really need it, I won’t be shy with you.”

Zhao Feng said with a smile, and then he walked into the crowd.

Wang Ba also started weaving through the crowd.

It must be said that although the scale of the second level of the Linglong Ghost Market is far less than the Nichang Ghost Market at the border of the Song and Yan states, the quality of the goods in these stalls was significantly higher.

Not far away, he saw someone selling a top-grade Class II attack magic tool.

The quality was very high, and the aura it emitted made Wang Ba’s heart throb.

Of course, the price was also touching, eight hundred middle-grade spirit stones, which directly shattered Wang Ba’s desire.

After walking around some more, he found that there were too many things to see.

And everything that caught his eye was invariably priced beyond his current budget.

After thinking about it, he decided to still go with the plan he had made before coming here.

Prioritize buying the things he needed the most.

Afterwards, he found the manager of the second level of the Ghost Market.

The manager was a white-haired old man dressed in brocade who stood in front of the palace.

The overflowing aura he emitted made Wang Ba’s spine tingle instantly.

So powerful!

Wang Ba was secretly amazed.

A manager of a ghost market gave him the same feeling as Master Lin, even more dangerous.

Clearly, he was using this force to deter cultivators in the ghost market, preventing them from causing trouble.

“Fellow daoist, do you wish to set up a stall here?”

“It’s quite simple, just pay 10 middle-grade spirit stones and you can find a place to set up your stall.”

The old man in the brocade robe replied with a light smile.

Ten middle-grade spirit stones were by no means a small amount. Although Wang Ba felt the pinch, he still paid up.

Then he received a token.

“This token can hide your cultivation base and change your appearance. When the stall is closed, it must be returned.”

The old man in the brocade robe said.

Wang Ba then found a spot near the palace and displayed the spirit chicken essence.

Then, he wrote down his needs on a sign next to him.

“Spirit Chicken Essence, can be exchanged for spirit stones or goods. Purchasing the following: Cultivation method for the Second Dantian, Class I/II Spirit Fire, Spells related to souls, Water Style Cultivation methods…”
