133: Ghost Market
Gu Changan wore a bamboo hat and came down from the mountain.
After walking a few steps, the features on his face changed again.
Since he wanted to stay in the Nether Ghost Market for a longer time this time!
His appearance would be modeled after a Ghost Cultivator!
His face was long and thin, his eyes slightly large, his nose bridge high, his eye sockets sunken, and he also had dark, heavy circles under his eyes.
Actually, Gu Changan wanted to make his face appear thinner.
But he could not change his body, and his flesh was quite full.
If he made his face too thin, it would clearly look uncoordinated.
It would look suspicious at first glance!
Gu Changan had to give up on the idea of becoming a thin person.
He went down to the foot of the mountain and entered through the entrance between the two mountains.
After entering, there were no obstructions; the Nether Ghost Market had no one guarding the gates at all!
Whether you wanted to come or leave, you were free to do so!
However, the air inside was a bit chilly.
Was it because of the Yin Qi?
Or was it because there were too many Ghost Cultivators inside?
Entering this place made one feel a sense of gloom.
Gu Changan switched to the perspective of Treasure Qi, and it immediately became much more pleasing to the eye.
Most were Foundation Establishment Cultivators; Foundation Establishment Cultivators accounted for twenty percent, and Qi Refining Cultivators accounted for eighty percent.
There were also a few rare Mortals!
Even Golden Core Cultivators were more numerous than Mortals!
He had not walked far before he could see a Core Formation Cultivator setting up a stall on the ground!
Gu Changan first wandered around roughly; the stall area in the valley alone covered a radius of 20 li.
At the same time, he could see how big the Nether Ghost Market actually was!
Being new here, he definitely needed a new place to stay, since he had to stay here for a while!
Looking around, the only places to live were on those three mountains.
The architectural style of each mountain was somewhat different.
The mountain closer to the north had a more magnificent and luxurious architectural style.
The building in the very center was familiar; it was the shop of the Treasure Pavilion, a 6-story building located in the center.
Most of the other supporting facilities nearby also used glazed tiles.
Looking from afar, they seemed to be of the same lineage.
On the mountain in the southwest corner, black buildings predominated, mostly wooden structures.
Every building was pitch black, and some had long banners hanging at their entrances.
Gu Changan knew without thinking that these must be the residences of Ghost Cultivators!
Those wooden structures must have special functions, either releasing Yin Qi or nourishing the Divine Soul; in any case, they were most beneficial to Ghost Cultivators!
As for the final mountain, it was in the southeast direction!
The buildings on it were disorderly and varied.
Some doors faced the mountain, some faced down the mountain; they just did whatever was comfortable.
Unlike the other two mountains, which clearly had their own planning.
Gu Changan pondered secretly, could it be that this mountain belonged to Loose Cultivators?
They built however they wanted?
Gu Changan began to consider which mountain to live on.
The Loose Cultivator's mountain was clearly more suitable for him, but who knew if there were any Golden Core Cultivators inside?
If he offended them, they could slap him to death, and he would have nowhere to reason!
He was originally pretending to be a Ghost Cultivator, so he should live on the Ghost Cultivator's mountain.
But that area of buildings was pitch black and filled with Yin Qi.
Living there would definitely be uncomfortable!
Gu Changan actually wanted to go to the mountain with the Treasure Pavilion the most!
The supporting facilities there were the most complete.
Not to mention, it was pleasing to the eye, with all kinds of restaurants! Medicinal Pill shops! Grocery stores! Everything one could need!
Gu Changan called over a Donor who was weaving nearby.
The other party was eighteen or nineteen years old and looked to be only at Qi Refining Level Three!
"How long have you been here?"
The eighteen or nineteen-year-old youth was a bit surprised but still lowered his head to answer.
"Senior! I was born here since I was a child!"
"When I was about 10, my parents passed away unexpectedly, and I was left all alone!"
"Relying on the Cultivation Technique left by my parents, I have slowly cultivated to this day!"
Gu Changan did not expect that the person he casually asked would have such a tragic life!
"Then where do you live?"
"Can you protect your residence?"
The eighteen or nineteen-year-old youth gave a bitter smile and then pointed to the foot of the Loose Cultivator's mountain.
"Right there!"
"There's a doghouse there, I live in that doghouse!"
Gu Changan was expressionless, but there was a trace of sorrow in his heart.
The world of Cultivation is truly cruel!
If he did not have the treasure gathering basin, he might have ended up in this situation too!
He then said: "I want to find a place to stay!"
"Which mountain do you think is better?"
The eighteen or nineteen-year-old youth slowly raised his head: "Senior! It depends on how you choose!"
"If you are a Ghost Cultivator, choose the Ghost Cultivator's mountain!"
"However, they also have factions and are quite exclusionary!"
"If you are powerful, choose the mountain where I live; it's all Loose Cultivators there!"
"If you are weak, people will often come to bully you!"
"If you have Spirit Stones, choose the Treasure Pavilion's mountain!"
"Everything is available there, and the order is relatively better!"
Gu Changan nodded, he would still go to the Treasure Pavilion side.
"Then let's go with the Treasure Pavilion!"
"Go and help me find a place to stay!"
"Do you have any recommendations?"
The eighteen or nineteen-year-old youth thought for a moment: "On the Treasure Pavilion side, every Inn is about the same!"
"It doesn't matter which one you choose!"
Gu Changan asked again: "Besides setting up stalls and shops here, what other ways can I find the treasures I need?"
The eighteen or nineteen-year-old youth's eyes shifted; it seemed that what this Senior was looking for was quite valuable!
Ordinary shops could not buy it?
He then bowed: "Senior! Some private gatherings, and also auctions!"
"The largest auctions are those of the Treasure Pavilion, which holds a small auction every month!"
"And a large auction once a year!"
Gu Changan was slightly interested: "When is the next auction?"
The eighteen or nineteen-year-old youth blurted out: "At the beginning of the month, about 20 days or so left!"
Gu Changan nodded: "What private gatherings do you know about?"
"What is the quality like?"
"I mean, for private gathering trades, are there any items from the Golden Core Stage?"
The eighteen or nineteen-year-old youth raised his eyebrows; it seemed the Senior in front of him had a big background!
He needed to buy items from the Golden Core Stage!
"Yes! But there are thresholds for entering them!"
"Most Golden Core Stage gatherings require one to be at the Golden Core Stage to enter!"
"I don't know if Senior is a Golden Core Stage Cultivator?"
Gu Changan thought for a moment; it seemed that was indeed the case.
If he, a Foundation Establishment Stage, went to buy Golden Core Stage items, would they not just fleece him completely?
He then asked again: "Are there any gatherings that include both Foundation Establishment Stage and Golden Core Stage?"
"There should be such gatherings, right!"
The eighteen or nineteen-year-old youth nodded: "But they are very rare!"
"These cannot really be considered gatherings!"
"They can also be called small auctions!"
"They are held by the controlling factions on the Ghost Cultivator's mountain!"
"And on the Loose Cultivator's mountain, trades facilitated by a few Golden Core Cultivators!"
Gu Changan frowned slightly; he least wanted to deal with these big factions!
If you are weak, they will directly rob you and easily wipe you out; there is simply nowhere to reason!
Only when you are strong do you have the qualifications to trade with them!
