583: Red Sky Ghost Market, enter the auction room
Yanshen Pill is a seventh-grade soul elixir that can greatly enhance the power of the soul, making it a crucial pill for cultivators seeking to advance to the Divine Court Realm.
However, the ingredients for refining Yanshen Pill are numerous, and each one is incredibly rare and difficult to find.
Many Dragon Transformation Realm cultivators who wish to advance to the Divine Court Realm need to either endure a long period of time or find other methods.
This is because they cannot find a seventh-grade alchemist, nor can they find Yanshen Pill. Even if they could find a seventh-grade alchemist, they might not be able to find the ingredients.
“The ingredients for Yanshen Pill are: Shen Yan Grass, Thunder Grass, Lightning Fruit, Dragon Origin Grass, Love Refining Fruit, seven souls flower, Primeval Spirit Spring…”
Xie Weilou continuously selected from a multitude of medicinal ingredients.
He had quite a few medicinal ingredients on him, and he happened to possess some of the important ones he needed.
After a while.
He found ninety percent of the ingredients, and was still missing four: Love Refining Fruit, Shen Yan Grass, seven souls flower, and Primeval Spirit Spring.
“Love Refining Fruit can be replaced with Bitter Love Fruit; Primeval Spirit Spring is hard to find, its function is to cleanse soul impurities and purify surrounding resentment, so it can be replaced with Dragon Transformation Marrow; as for Shen Yan Grass and seven souls flower, I’ll have to search for them slowly.”
Xie Weilou’s face showed a thoughtful expression.
Thus, for one batch of Yanshen Pill ingredients, only Shen Yan Grass and seven souls flower remained.
These two medicinal ingredients are crucial for enhancing the soul and are the most core ingredients of Yanshen Pill, absolutely essential, and they need to be ten thousand years old.
“…”
Xie Weilou put away the spirit herbs and spirit grasses in front of him, casually deactivated the Restriction, and then got up and left the room.
It seemed he had to go out and explore.
There should be many markets in this capital city where he could try his luck.
Outside the house.
The middle-aged beautiful woman was busy. Seeing Xie Weilou walk out, she smiled charmingly, “Young Master, are you planning to go out for a stroll?”
Xie Weilou smiled faintly and said, “I want to get some medicinal ingredients to nourish my body, so I plan to visit the market.”
The middle-aged beautiful woman said, “If the medicinal ingredients you need are of extremely high grade, perhaps you could visit the Ghost Market. There are many things inside, and you should find everything you need.”
“Thank you for the reminder.”
Xie Weilou nodded and walked downstairs.
On the street.
Xie Weilou wandered aimlessly, but his soul was investigating his surroundings.
Not long after.
A Little Girl wearing tattered cloth shoes and coarse cloth clothes quickly walked towards Xie Weilou.
Her face was a bit pale, and there was a hint of fatigue between her brows. Hanging from her waist were a small bamboo-woven turtle and a small gourd.
“Big Brother, are you looking for the entrance to the Ghost Market?”
The Little Girl came before Xie Weilou, looking at him with a slight nervousness.
Xie Weilou asked with a smile, “Little Girl, do you know where the entrance is?”
This Little Girl had been secretly following him since he left Guanshan Tower; her presence here was arranged by that middle-aged beautiful woman.
The Little Girl’s eyes lit up, and she immediately said, “I know! Give me one tael of silver, and I’ll take you there.”
The Big Sister at Guanshan Tower said that as long as she took this Big Brother to the Ghost Market, she could ask for one tael of silver.
Xie Weilou took out a gold ingot from his sleeve and handed it to the Little Girl, “Here’s a gold ingot for you!”
Little stars sparkled in the Little Girl’s eyes. She happily took the gold and quickly said, “Thank you, Big Brother, you’re so kind! I’ll take you there right away.”
This was the first time she had seen such a large piece of gold.
“Mm!”
Xie Weilou smiled and nodded, then followed the Little Girl towards an alley.
After a twenty-minute detour.
The Little Girl led Xie Weilou to the entrance of a peculiar alley. This alley was incredibly deep and extremely dark inside.
At the entrance, a bronze lamp hung, and two Mysterious Persons in black robes and masks stood motionless.
The Little Girl pointed to the alley, “Big Brother, we’re here.”
Xie Weilou chuckled, “Thank you! You can go back now, I’ll go in by myself.”
The Little Girl shook her head and said, “I want to go into the Ghost Market too.”
Xie Weilou looked at the Little Girl in surprise, “Little Girl, what are you going to the Ghost Market for?”
The Little Girl awkwardly scratched her hair, then lowered her head and whispered, “To buy medicine… medicine to treat an illness…”
She touched the gourd at her waist, her expression a little downcast. She was a sickly person who had to drink medicine every day.
“The Ghost Market will be very dangerous.”
Xie Weilou murmured. How could a Little Girl, without any cultivation, go to the Ghost Market alone without danger?
The Little Girl quickly said, “Don’t worry! I’ve been to the Ghost Market before, and I have friends inside, so I’m not scared.”
“Is that so!”
Hearing this, Xie Weilou said no more.
The two walked forward.
The two Mysterious Persons immediately looked at them.
“To enter the Ghost Market, each person must pay one century-old spirit herb.”
One Mysterious Person said indifferently.
“For two people!”
Xie Weilou casually pulled out two century-old spirit herbs.
The Little Girl immediately said, “Big Brother, I have spirit herbs too.”
As she spoke, she pulled out a spirit herb from her sleeve. This spirit herb was given to her by an important person as a reward for guiding them previously.
However, this spirit herb couldn't save her life; she needed to go to the Ghost Market to buy other medicines.
Xie Weilou smiled and said, “Keep yours for yourself!”
“Thank you, Big Brother.”
The Little Girl quickly said.
The Mysterious Person took the spirit herbs and then handed two wooden tokens to Xie Weilou, “This is just the entrance; you will need to exit from another place.”
“…”
Xie Weilou took the wooden tokens, gave one to the Little Girl, and then walked into the deep alley.
Buzz!
Just as they entered the deep alley, a shifting force struck, and their bodies instantly disappeared from their original spot.
When the two reappeared, they had already arrived at a small, entirely black ancient city. The city streets were wide, surrounded by numerous treasure towers, from which hung blood-red lanterns.
There were also many vendors on the street, displaying various items. Many cultivators came and went, some wearing masks, others disguised.
The moment he entered the Ghost Market, Xie Weilou sensed several soul fluctuations assaulting him, all of them probing.
The Little Girl said to Xie Weilou, “Big Brother, there’s a Ghost Market Auction House ahead. There are many things inside, all traded through bartering. You can go and look around there. I’m going to find my friends now.”
Xie Weilou nodded gently and said, “Then you be careful.”
“Don’t worry, Big Brother.”
The Little Girl waved her hand, about to leave, but then seemed to remember something and added, “My name is Xiao Yueliang!”
After saying that, she ran off in one direction.
“…”
Xie Weilou chuckled, then walked forward.
After walking three thousand meters.
A massive black auction house appeared before Xie Weilou. A plaque hung above the auction house with five characters: Ghost Market Auction House.
Many cultivators were currently entering and exiting this auction house, including some powerful individuals.
“Ghost Market Auction House.”
Xie Weilou pondered for a moment, then walked towards the auction house.
No one blocked the main entrance, and he successfully entered the auction house…
