Chapter 213: Items on the Yama Ghost Market's Strange Insect List
True Man Qingyang was even more confused. He had no idea what Wang Yu was talking about.
"Let me think about it. I need your help with something else."
Hear the words.
Qingyang could only hold back and wait for Wang Yu to figure out the answer.
Regardless of whether He Gu really planted the demon seed into Luo Chen's body, he needs to respond immediately. It would be best if he could launch a counterattack and make Jin Lin suffer the consequences.
He closed his eyes and rubbed his temples.
After a while, Wang Yu came up with an idea. He actually only had two choices now.
He fell out with his enemies and killed Master Hegu, so his plan naturally failed.
He sneaked into Chencang, pretended to be ignorant, let Jin Lin's plan go on, and dealt a fatal blow at the critical moment.
The key is to grasp the timing of Tianshui's arrival.
It must be three months later, when he is not in Gui Ling. After thinking it through, Wang Yu told Qing Yang about his next plan, which immediately surprised the other party.
"So that's what you were thinking about just now."
"I can't help it. A tall tree attracts the wind. Besides, this is Jin Miaoshan's trouble. Guiling City Lord's Mansion has suffered an unprovoked disaster. I will ask her for compensation."
"Ha~"
Qingyang laughed awkwardly, didn't say much, and went downstairs to prepare.
You must go to the Yama Ghost Market.
Even if one does not buy anything at a Nascent Soul level auction, one can still gain some knowledge. Moreover, Wang Yu also has rare and desired treasures, so the opportunity should not be missed.
There are many monks in Guiling City, and the two groups of people from the City Lord's Mansion have reached two thousand people. They cannot act in advance to avoid alerting the enemy.
All he could do was let Qingyang take the warrant and notify the trusted commander.
The outcome will become clear at the critical moment.
After dealing with the matter, Wang Yu acted as if nothing had happened and continued to do what he was doing.
Until three months later - the Yama Ghost Market Auction will begin!
…………
…………
Walk southwest from Guiling City and cross the 3,000-mile reed pond to reach the Yama Ghost Market.
There are five black mountains guarding this place. There are no trees or stones. The soil is as black as sand, soft and cold, like the underworld. From time to time, black winds howl and wronged souls wail.
It is truly a den of ghosts on earth!
In fact, this is caused by a large formation. Although the demon cultivators can eat both meat and vegetables, they would not like to live in a desolate and haunted place. This is determined by human nature.
A strange formation was set up here by Yama Luo and Yamabu.
The surrounding area is a lawless area. Neither the Nilingxue Sect nor the Huangquan Temple have interfered with the sovereignty of this place, which is equivalent to giving face to the Taoist couple.
But since the Dead Desert is not far from here, Huangquan Temple has a closer relationship with the Ghost Market, and the area surrounded by five black mountains is the main body of the Ghost Market.
It only manifests at midnight every night. This is also the effect of that strange formation.
According to the plan.
Wang Yu and Qing Yang, led by the leader of the Zijin Chamber of Commerce, secretly came to the Ghost Market to participate in the auction.
"City Lord, this is your first time here. I'll have someone show you around first, and I'll come back to see you when the auction is about to start."
Hear the words.
Wang Yu nodded, signaled Qingyang with his eyes, and then walked into the seemingly desolate and barren wilderness alone, but in fact he could only take three steps forward.
The world before my eyes suddenly changed its appearance.
In the ghost market, everyone was wearing black robes and had ghost faces, and there was dark mist surrounding them. Even if Wang Yu touched them with his third-level spiritual sense, he could not sense any of their true appearance.
This is also the power of the strange formation.
If it weren't for such domineering concealment means, the Yanluo Ghost Market would not have become the largest black market on the border between the Niling Blood Sect and the Huangquan Temple.
All Qi-cultivating monks can come here, and as for the problem of leaving, it depends on the monks' own means. If it really doesn't work, they can also stay in the Ghost Market.
Apart from the people in the ghost market itself, outsiders need to spend a lot of spirit stones to settle down and stay. If they are really chased by their enemies, they will have no way to escape.
Selling yourself in the ghost market is actually an option.
While Wang Yu was shopping to gain more knowledge, Qingyang followed the people from the Zijin Chamber of Commerce to Gui Ling’s base in the Ghost Market.
That’s right, Guiling City has a garrison here. Since they are close by, and with the face of the Niling Blood Sect, negotiations are basically not a problem. All you need to do is pay the spirit stones normally.
Besides, Gui Ling is not the only one with shops in the ghost market.
After Wang Yu left, Qing Yang secretly looked at the leader of the Purple Gold Chamber of Commerce and realized that Jin Lin wanted to use the City Lord's Mansion to destroy Jin Miaoshan, and the leader of the Chamber of Commerce was also blacklisted.
First of all, the Zi Jin Chamber of Commerce moved into the north of the city when Wang Yu first came to Guiling and massacred the City Lord's Mansion. He accidentally killed all the leaders of the North City District. That's when they moved into the north of the city.
The Chamber of Commerce itself was not established by Wang Yu, but came from outside. The two parties hit it off immediately, and the tasks he assigned to him have always been completed perfectly.
So Wang Yu just focused on suspicion at first.
But if you think about it carefully, a chamber of commerce led by a foundation-building cultivator can always help him purchase third-level treasures without any problems.
A person like this can get along well anywhere, so why should you work for him?
This was the suspicion he had after he became suspicious of Master Hegu. The last sentence he said when he entered the Ghost Market just now made Wang Yu confirm his identity.
If the Green Sheep doesn't leave, then your attention will be focused here.
"Master Qingyang, you and I both serve the city lord. I have a little gift for you, so please accept it. The auction at the Yama Ghost Market has attracted many cultivators, so maybe we can find a bargain."
"hehe--
"Brother Luo is thoughtful. I will accept the things. You can visit the ghost market anytime. Let's go to Guiling's base first."
"Okay, okay." Seeing that he couldn't get rid of Master Qingyang, Luo Huzhou could only secretly activate a jade button in his sleeve to indicate that the other side's plan was going well, but he couldn't open his mouth to pass on the message.
He could only take Qingyang with him and head towards Guiling’s base.
…………
In the ghost city.
There are a total of seventy-two streets here, with a permanent population of over ten thousand, all of whom are monks, and the sky is filled with a large number of ghosts and ghost slaves who serve as laborers.
The streets are eerie and spooky, illuminated by green ghost lights.
Wang Yu strolled through the place and was truly amazed. Most of the shops were opened by nearby forces and usually provided many ancillary services, like setting up small stalls on the spot.
They are wandering independent cultivators, or disciples of sects and clans who are training and gaining spoils of war, etc. The ghost market is different from a regular market, and many of the things sold there are unknown even to the sellers.
Therefore, it is common to find bargains, and there is also a saying that one can get a bargain when buying things in the ghost market.
As the saying goes: Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles.
Even though Wang Yu has read a lot of ancient classics, he is still a little short of applying them in practice. His days of hiding in Guiling are not easy.
"Fellow Daoist, how much is this item for?"
"Ghost Mushroom, four thousand spirit stones."
A conversation in front caught Wang Yu's attention. He took a closer look and immediately laughed.
"Boss, this is not a demon mushroom."
The cultivator who was about to take out the spirit stone paused.
The owner of the small stall said angrily.
"What does it have to do with you? Just because you say it's not true, then it's not true. Is there anyone who would disrupt someone's business like this?"
"Don't worry~"
Wang Yu picked up a mushroom from the stall and sniffed it.
"This is a rare second-level spiritual object, the Night Curse Poison Mushroom. It can poison a foundation-building cultivator to death. Given its rarity, four thousand is too cheap. I think thirty thousand spirit stones is about right."
Now it was the turn of the monk who paid the money to be confused. He really thought it was a ghost mushroom. Did he almost get a bargain?
The stall owner was also dumbfounded. He didn't expect that Wang Yu was reminding him not to sell at a loss, and his tone suddenly changed.
"My friend is very knowledgeable. I am being reckless. Please forgive me for any rude words I may have said."
The stall owner first apologized to Wang Yu, and then spoke to the buyer.
"Hahahaha~, I almost sold this treasure as a ghost mushroom. Do you still want it? Just do as this friend asked, 30,000 spirit stones."
"This... I don't want it anymore."
Seeing this, Wang Yu walked over with a smile.
"He doesn't want it, but I do. I need this spiritual substance to make poison."
"Okay, okay, then... 30,000?"
"of course."
Wang Yu readily paid the money and took the poisonous mushroom away.
This thing is indeed the Night Curse Poisonous Mushroom. It has a black cap with green dots and white dots on the stem. It is extremely toxic and can kill people who have built their foundation. It is quite rare.
He warned.
One was that he thought the buyer had recognized him and was deliberately trying to annoy the stall owner so that he wouldn't sell the item to him. But who knew it was just a mistake.
Secondly, the value of this thing does not lie in itself, but in the fact that it is a strange insect that loves to lay eggs on the night-cursed poisonous mushroom.
This kind of spiritual creature is rare. Chi Yuan thinks it only grows in the [Heavenly Demon Bone Forest]. The strange insect that feeds on the Night Curse Poisonous Mushroom is even more mysterious and rare.
It is non-toxic itself, but can eat poison to grow.
It’s called——【Pure Jade Toad】!
It is called a jade toad, but it is actually a kind of insect that looks like a toad. It can only grow to the size of a palm at most, and its only ability is to eat poison.
It grows by devouring all kinds of strange and bizarre toxins. It is said that after being cultivated to maturity, a cultivator who refines the Immaculate Jade Toad can gain a body that is immune to all poisons.
If a strange insect could swallow the Immaculate Jade Toad, it could also evolve in its origin, transcend its bloodline levels, and undergo a transformation.
Wang Yu saw it in the sect’s Sutra Hall.
In a list of ancient strange insects, the Immaculate Jade Toad was ranked 62nd. There were a total of 99 places on the list. It is unknown who wrote it and what the ranking was based on.
Based on his observations just now, Wang Yu was very sure.
Among the white spots on the stem of the Night Curse Poisonous Mushroom, there is an egg of the Immaculate Jade Toad, which is slender, white and thin with a yellow spot.
Wang Yu was quite satisfied with this harvest just after arriving at the Ghost Market.
I can't help but look forward to the next auction even more.
He walked through several streets with great interest, but he did not gain anything else. Due to his alchemy skills, he had a very detailed knowledge of spiritual medicines and fruits.
For other aspects, I just learned some miscellaneous things from the vast classics, so it is normal that I didn’t gain more.
After the initial excitement of the Ghost Market, it inevitably became a bit boring. As for the Nascent Soul level auction, no one on the street was talking about it, probably because the level was not high enough, but more and more people were coming.
At this moment, Wang Yu felt the sound transmission jade talisman move. When he looked around, he saw a familiar figure standing at the entrance of the alley and nodding at him.
The person who came was Qingyang Zhenren, he walked over and said.
"Is the matter settled?"
"Well, to prevent the other party from having the means to detect whether he is alive or not, I sealed the man named Luo in the painting."
"Well, let's go to the auction and take a look."
"Walk."
