Chapter 66: Bargaining at the Ghost Market Senior Brother

Ban Yao said simply that it was just beside the demon domain, but he was confused about where the demon domain was. He only knew that it was all the way to the southeast, across the sea of sand.

There was a constant rumble of thunder behind him, and he guessed that several elders had also come to kill Ban Yao completely.

If Yu Wei couldn't find him after the matter was over, wouldn't he be worried to death.

Chao Jianxue hardened his heart and temporarily cut off the spiritual power attached to his jade token. It wouldn't be too late to go back and make up an excuse when he found what Ban Yao said in the underground ghost market.

The heavy rain was still falling outside the narrow realm. He went straight into the woods. The clean rain washed away the gray and black residue on his face and body, but his clothes could no longer be worn. Chao Jianxue found the only black clothes in the storage, took off the dirty clothes and threw them into the storage, and found a river to roll in before changing clothes.

Yu Wei must be looking for him, he had to hurry. He

didn't know how far he had flown, but he had passed the South Island. He crossed the raging river and stepped on the scorching sea of sand.

There were no sects stationed outside the South Island. The only people who appeared were monks who made money by doing illegal things and demons. Chao Jianxue wrapped his hood and tried his best to walk calmly.

The reason why he wore black clothes was because black clothes could better blend in here. In short, he needed to look difficult to deal with so that trouble would not come to him.

But Chao Jianxue obviously ignored his outstanding appearance. Just showing a pair of eyes was not enough to avoid malicious prying. Someone reached out to lift his hood, but Chao Jianxue broke his fingers.

He dodged behind the sand pile in annoyance. The buildings here were all made of sand and soil. The wind was strong, and all the sand flew into his eyes, so he couldn't open them.

Chao Jianxue simply bought a special veil and wrapped himself up. He

even spoke in a rough voice and changed his voice to ask for clues about the underground ghost market.

But someone told him soon.

But Chao Jianxue suddenly remembered something when he was halfway through his walk.

He didn't know if the disciple he had knocked unconscious in the narrow space would recognize him, and whether he would tell others about what he saw when he woke up...

If he had known... If he had known...

Before that terrible idea formed, Chao Jianxue would have dismissed it in time.

Even if the disciple pointed out that it was him, as long as he found something to cover up the demonic power, he could say that the other party was mentally ill and talking nonsense. If there was no third person who saw it, he would just deny it.

He didn't have the energy to think about these things that hadn't happened yet, because the underground ghost market was right in front of him.

In front of him appeared a pitch-black well, and next to it stood a mottled wooden sign with four bloody characters "Underground Ghost Market" written in red paint that was almost corroded by wind and sand.

——A long line of people lined up in front of the well.

Chao Jianxue: "..."

Is it really like a tourist attraction?

The reason for the long queue is naturally that the well mouth is small and can only pass one person at a time. The team pushed and shoved, and people cut in line from time to time, and there were also vendors selling ghost market passes next to them.

"Do you want 280 Lingshi? I'll give you a free admission ticket to the Youmin Casino..." A little old man with a pointed face and monkey cheeks squeezed in front of Chao Jianxue and shook the ticket in his hand.

"I don't have much money left. Tonight, the ghost market is very lively because of the eclipse of the moon. If you buy my ticket, I'll upgrade your ticket to the no-queue service!"

Chao Jianxue looked down at the two red and black pass in his hand, which were wrinkled.

He really needed a pass.

Chao Jianxue lowered his voice: "200."

The little old man: "270."

Chao Jianxue: "230."

The little old man: "270, not a cent."

Chao Jianxue: "250."

The little old man: "Deal."

Chao Jianxue held the light ticket, and the little old man was delighted: "It's a bargain for you. We don't make any money at all!"

The deal was so quick, but it was still 250... Chao Jianxue felt a little regretful.

"No need to queue?" Chao Jianxue pursed her lips.

"Come on, come with me, we're honest in our business!"

The old man pushed him through the crowd and came to the side in front of the team.

Chao Jianxue wondered who he was looking for to trade, because his eyes were sharp, as if he was looking for something.

People kept jumping down from the wellhead, and the circle was impenetrable.

Suddenly, the old man moved.

He instantly spread his eagle-like wings, soared off the ground, and his five fingers became claws, grabbing Chao Jianxue's shoulders and pulling him up.

Then he threw him into the wellhead.

It turned out to be a falcon demon.

Chao Jianxue fell perfectly into the wellhead, and the impact squeezed the people jumping into the well next to him.

He turned his body from the inverted onion position in horror, and in the dark, his palms were against the slippery, mossy wall of the well, barely slowed down, and staggered to the ground. It turned out

that the so-called queue-free service was to throw him in directly...

Chao Jianxue was still in shock, and after the previous action, the injury on his waist and abdomen began to hurt again. There was no time to heal his wounds on the way here, so he fed himself a pill.

The bottom of the well was surrounded by blue flames, which looked like ghost fires at first glance.

The blue flames were faint, and Chao Jianxue imitated the person in front of him and threw the guide into the fire basin beside him. The moment it burned, the scene in front of him suddenly changed in the rising flames, from the dark and damp bottom of the well to a dark street with rows of people.

Chao Jianxue covered his waist injury and hid his breath, nervously stepping into the strange crowd.

In comparison, the market in the human cultivation is still too mortal.

He glanced at the bloody things displayed on the stalls on both sides, all kinds of Danxin, as small as chicken eggs and as big as balls, as if they were just dug out from the Dantian, still attached with blurred flesh and blood.

There were both human and demon cultivators, and they were very fierce.

Chao Jianxue felt the illusion of a hidden pain in his Dantian Purple Mansion, and glanced at it and dared not look any more.

There are also rare herbs such as poisonous grass, which are also sold here.

He walked past a shop that looked like a bookstore, and was curious. After he walked in, he found that it was full of evil skills, good and bad, and it would be difficult for a novice to distinguish.

The place was filled with a rotten and old smell, and the shop owner stared at everyone who came in and out grimly.

Before Chao Jianxue left, he also found a cabinet of obscene books.

There were actually fan stories of various proud people in the current human cultivation, but the pictures and terms were bolder and more terrifying than those outside, and it was not easy for ordinary people to accept. Chao Jianxue flipped through the books and wanted to poke his eyes out.

He threw down the book and quickly fled from the bookstore. The distinction between

human cultivation and demon cultivation was not as clear as it was outside. The demon cultivators all blatantly revealed their demon bodies, and the human cultivators also dressed in all kinds of strange ways.

Chao Jianxue wrapped in black clothes was actually a relatively normal outfit among them.

Gradually, the Youmin gambling house mentioned by the Falcon Demon also appeared in the field of vision.

It was a dangerous building a hundred feet high. As for why such a tall building appeared underground, it was just that everything in the Xuanzhen Realm could not be judged according to Chao Jianxue's original common sense. The building was decorated with lights and colors, adding a bit of festivity to this dark and gloomy place, but the occasional ecstatic laughter and painful wails from the building seemed ghostly.

Gambling is something that must not be touched. Chao Jianxue silently wrapped his clothes tightly and walked away quickly.

He had just inquired on the ground, and this trip already had a purpose, so he walked all the way inside.

Perhaps the sense of smell of demon cultivators is always more sensitive. The demon cultivators who passed by him all looked back at him, twitching their noses and staring at him. Chao Jianxue instinctively felt uncomfortable and walked faster.

At the end of the dark street, a white flag fluttered gently like a soul-calling flag, with the three words "Bai Xiaosheng" on it. His anxious heart calmed down a little, and he walked straight forward.

"What are you asking? Five thousand spirit stones for one time." Bai Xiaosheng was wiping the piano in his hand carelessly.

If you look closely, the leather of his piano is delicate, and the fine pores on it are dilated, which is not like an ordinary thing. But Chao Jianxue didn't have the energy to look carefully at this time, and was just shocked by the sky-high price he asked. He didn't know what the price level of the underground ghost market was. Five thousand was enough for Bai Xiaosheng outside to answer ten questions.

But after what happened just now, Chao Jianxue realized that he was not a bargaining talent. Five thousand was five thousand. He had money on hand, and he was afraid that he would be hated if he bargained.

So he simply took out the equivalent spirit stone ticket.

Bai Xiaosheng's hand that was wiping the piano paused slightly, and raised a smile with interest: "Ask."

"I'm looking for a magic weapon that can hide the demon blood."

Bai Xiaosheng is not good-looking, the kind of appearance that you will forget when you see it in a crowd, but when he smiled, he suddenly became weird, and his eyes became narrow.

"Sorry, sorry." He used the zither to cover the lower half of his face. "Do you want to hide temporarily, or give up your magic power permanently?"

There is such a detailed breakdown?

Chao Jianxue was about to speak, Bai Xiaosheng said, "Logically, these are two answers, and I should charge two fees, but considering your generosity and our fate, I will give up."

"..." Chao Jianxue said, "I want a long-term one."

"Simple, it's the Youmin Casino!" Bai Xiaosheng plucked the zither casually, and the strings vibrated slightly, making a nice and crisp sound. "There is a treasure in the gambling house called Washing Bones. Swallow it and you can wash away your demon blood and live a dignified life as a human being!"

"How about temporarily?"

"Go west and ask the medicine shop in Hungry Ghost Crossing for the Human Transformation Pill. It can temporarily hide your demonic aura. One pill a month. But within two days after taking it, every step you take will be as painful as walking on steel needles, and every breath will feel like a knife cutting your throat." He gloated over the price that the little mermaid had to pay to change her legs, just like in the ocean fairy tale.

One is to change from a fish to a human, and the other is to change from a demon to a human.

Chao Jianxue felt pain when she heard it.

He made a choice in his heart and stood up. Bai Xiaosheng still covered the lower half of his face, narrowing his narrow eyes: "Do you really want to be a human? Being a demon is not as good as being a human. You can come and go freely without any shackles."

Chao Jianxue did not answer, but spread his hands to him: "My answer will also cost five thousand spirit stones."

Bai Xiaosheng stretched out his sharp claws and pushed his hand away: "Do you think I didn't ask well?"

Chao Jianxue went to the hungry ghost road he mentioned, and indeed bought two bottles of human transformation pills.

Then, he walked to the door of Youmin Casino and looked up. The high pavilion of the casino was out of reach, and the red silk hung down. The noise inside and the sound of the card table colliding all fell into his ears.

Chao Jianxue put away the human transformation pill.

The human transformation pill was just a insurance, and he still had to wash his bones in the end.

-

"I can't find it, but the light of the jade card has not gone out. Where else can he go?" Li Zhenzhen flew back from the other side and shook her head at Yu Wei.

That day, they had searched every corner around them, but there was no trace of Chao Jianxue.

The rain washed away all the air.

Yu Wei looked tense, and was about to leave with his sword. Suddenly, someone found a corpse, covered in blood and holes, and died tragically.

A few people rushed over and saw that the disciple from the opposite sect had a strange expression on his face. He stood up, pointed at the corpse on the ground and said to Yu Wei and Li Zhenzhen sternly, his eyes bloodshot: "Junior brother left a will in the jade tablet. The murderer will be killed by Wuwei Sect!"
