Chapter 154: The Ghost Market Opens, Enemies Meet, Treasures Appear

Fu Changsheng raised his eyebrows.

Before Gan Shenglin approached, he scanned the other party’s body with his spiritual sense and found that there was obviously something hidden in the other party’s right thigh, so he was not too surprised when Gan Shenglin took out the dagger.

But Gan Shenglin made a sudden move and raised his sword.

Accompanied by a scream.

A cut suddenly appeared on the right thigh.

Then a well-wrapped ancient book was turned out.

Enduring the severe pain.

Gan Shenglin presented the ancient book with both hands:

“Master, this ancient book was obtained by our ancestors in an ancient cultivator’s cave somewhere. Our Gan family made its fortune by relying on the spiritual plant techniques recorded in it. I am presenting it to you today. Master, please see if it can be of use to you.”

Fu Changsheng was stunned for a moment.

Never thought about it.

Gan Shenglin is a courageous man.

Knowing that this item could not be hidden, he presented this ancient book to me in advance.

Fu Changsheng stepped forward, practiced his skills, and healed the other person’s wounds before taking the ancient book.

This small gesture.

But it made Gan Shenglin feel warm inside.

Fu Changsheng opened the ancient book and quickly browsed through it. As a layman in the field of planting, even though he was an expert, he felt that the methods of planting and improving the quality of spiritual fields in the book were very good.

With this ancient book.

Plus the guidance of Gan Shenglin.

I believe that the Spiritual Planting Hall will be able to cultivate a second-level spiritual plant master soon.

Fu Changsheng smiled and said:
“Shenglin, when we get up the mountain, Molan will give you an identity token. The merit points you paid to this ancient book will also be recorded in it. This merit point can be exchanged for anything you want, of course, provided that our Fu family has it.”

“Shenglin thanks the Patriarch!”

Gan Shenglin finally let go of the worry that had been hanging in his heart.

Fu Changsheng’s move.

There is no doubt that they regarded him as a retainer of the Fu family and took the initiative to join the Fu family. This move was right for the Gan family. From the perspective of the Fu family system, it is obvious that the more you work, the more you get. His passion was rekindled at once.

at the same time.

A familiar mechanical voice came from Fu Changsheng’s sea of ​​consciousness:

“Ding”

“You have recruited a second-level spiritual plant master for your family, and obtained an ancient book on spiritual plants, and received ninety family contribution points.”

on the panel.

The family contribution value instantly increased from three hundred and fifty-six to four hundred and forty-six.

This was an unexpected surprise.

With Gan Shenglin stepping forward, several people among the 30,000 refugees came forward and revealed their identities. They were all Qigong practitioners who could not continue to practice, but these people did not practice the Hundred Arts.

Fu Changsheng registered them.

First, let them be promoted to acting mayors.

Since they are cultivators, the chances of their future children having spiritual roots are higher, so they plan to move their clansmen here and then let them get married.

After handling refugee affairs.

In case there were spies hidden inside, Fu Changsheng still had a habitual thought:
“Exchange Information”

hum!
The panel vibrates.

The yellow light surged, and then lines of text appeared:

[One month later, a ghost market will appear in the Ghost Crying Ridge, 300 miles away from your fiefdom. The items sold in the ghost market are all-encompassing.]

Ghost Market?!
And it’s all-encompassing!
Then can he trade for the formula for the Foundation Establishment Pill that he needs, the Ghost Cherry Pill that Qiu Chan needs to break through to the second level, and the lapis lazuli that needs to repair the other side of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Array?

Fu Changsheng suddenly became excited.

This is for him.

It is undoubtedly a great opportunity.

It’s just a pity.

A month later.

The ghost market is about to open.

And he wanted to allocate supplies from Luofeng Mountain, but it was obviously too late:
“It seems that I can only use the [Training Room] to refine a batch of second-level medium-quality Explosion Talismans and Flying Talismans!”

This is hard currency.

Even if you cannot exchange for scarce items in the ghost market.

But it is also an asset.

present.

Fu Changsheng directly announced his retreat.

After entering the secret room of the second-level spiritual spring on the top of the mountain and opening the magic circle, he immediately had a thought:
“Activate [Practice Room]”

hum!
A flash before his eyes.

next moment.

He then appeared in the [Training Room].

To save time.

He started making the Exploding Talisman directly.

The talisman blood was extracted by the Golden-eyed Monkey King and just came in handy.

In the blink of an eye.

Three months passed in a flash in the [training room].

Day and night.

The refined Golden Eyed Monkey King talisman blood was almost used up, and he obtained several thick stacks of medium-grade talismans. Because the Ghost Market was about to open, he did not waste any time and immediately made up his mind.

Exit [Practice Room].

It stands to reason.

He made talismans day and night for three months.

Even an iron man cannot withstand it, and the spiritual power is severely consumed. Most people can’t withstand it at all. However, there is this special effect in the [Training Room]. It seems that you will never get tired in it. In addition, the magic power seems to be endless and there is no time to run out.

This was what he discovered after several attempts.

so.

He feels that this function currently developed by the system is extremely useful.

at this time.

The panel trembled slightly.

A line of text appears:

[Second-level Talisman Maker: Middle Grade (80/100)]

Obviously.

After making talismans many times.

His skills improved significantly.

After accumulating some more experience, he would be able to break through to become a second-level superior talisman maker.

at the same time.

The contribution value on the panel also dropped to three hundred and forty-four.

You can double the draw once.

but.

He was afraid that he would draw a recipe that had appeared before, which would be a waste.

Moreover, he also needs to accumulate contribution points to be used in the [Deducing Cultivation Technique] function. Previously, the foundation-building chapter of “The Green Emperor’s Longevity Secret” had only been deduced to the fifth level. Currently, he has reached the third level of foundation-building, and the next step forward will be the fourth level of foundation-building.

So he had to prepare in advance:
“Just in case, we have to go to Ghost Crying Ridge to investigate first.”

of course.

Before going out.

He still followed the usual practice:
“Exchange Information”

hum!
The panel trembled, a large amount of yellow light surged, and then lines of text appeared:

[1: Gan Shenglin and Cai Xiangu hit it off right away. They were both impressed by each other’s unique insights into spiritual plant techniques. It can be said that they met too late.]

【2:.】

When Fu Changsheng was in seclusion.

The battle between the Huainan Prefecture’s noble families in the devil’s cave also came to an end.

Pingshan County.

The fourth elder Ping Xingliu and his clansmen were waiting at the mountain gate early in the morning.

I stopped and waited for most of the day.

Finally, two sword rainbows were seen rushing towards us from afar. When the sword rainbows disappeared, it was none other than the Patriarch Ping and the fifth elder Ping Xingyu who had returned from the battlefield of the Demon Cave.

Ping Xingliu stepped forward quickly.

His consciousness swept away.

When he found that the clan leader and fifth brother were both injured, he felt a pang in his heart.

As soon as my second brother died.

Now there are only three people left in their Heike clan who have established their foundation.

I hope nothing happens to the clan leader and the others.

Just about to ask.

Patriarch Ping waved his hand:
“Everyone disperse. Fourth and fifth brothers, follow me into the meeting room to talk.”

Ping Xingliu felt vaguely uneasy when he heard this.

After entering the meeting room and activating the formation.

Patriarch Ping closed his eyes tiredly, then opened them and said slowly:
“Fourth brother, let’s put our previous plan to attack the Fu family on hold. In the last battle in the Demon Cave, my fifth brother and I were targeted by a quasi-third-level demon general. Although we managed to escape later, our meridians were damaged and we need to retreat to recover in the next few years. From now on, all the clan affairs will be placed on you.”

Ping Xingyu, who was sitting at the lower right, blamed himself when he heard this.

I was in the devil’s cave at that time.

He was devastated when he heard the news of his third brother’s death. Originally, the clan leader wanted them to get through the last battle smoothly, but he wanted to earn more court merit points to exchange for foundation-building pills. In addition, he felt aggrieved when he thought that his second and third brothers had died at the hands of that little beast Fu Changsheng, so he could not control himself for a while and attacked and killed everyone. This attracted the attention of the quasi-third-level demon general, and the clan leader was seriously injured because of saving him.

Fortunately.

They got what they wished for and exchanged for a foundation-building pill.

Ping Xingliu didn’t know the reason, so he just nodded and said:
“Master, you and my fifth brother can rest and recover from your injuries. You don’t need to worry about the family affairs. However, there is still half a month until the Ghost Market barrier of Ghost Crying Ridge opens. Master, do you and my fifth brother need to buy anything? If I can find it in the Ghost Market, I will buy it for you.”

Both Patriarch Ping and Ping Xingyu mentioned several spiritual objects.

the end.

Patriarch Ping said solemnly:
“Fourth brother, you are the only one going to the Ghost Market this time. After you come out of the Ghost Market, remember to return to the clan mountain immediately. The Ghost Market is open, and it will not only be our Ping family that will go. The He family and the Cao family will also participate. Although our three families are allies and the news of the second and third brothers’ deaths has not been announced to the public, we must be on guard against others. The most important thing is that the last time the Ghost Market was open, people from the Yunteng tribe participated. I am afraid that the number of people entering the Ghost Market this time is far less than that of the Yunteng tribe. You must join forces with the He family and the Cao family, but also be on guard against them.”

“Yes, Master”

Ping Xingliu nodded quickly.

Patriarch Ping then slapped his storage bag.

A flash of glow.

Boxes with white backgrounds and cloud patterns flew towards Pingxing Liu.
“This is one hundred middle-grade spirit stones. Fourth brother, take these spirit stones and buy a second-level pure yang spirit plant first. Fifth brother is deeply poisoned by the cold poison and urgently needs this. Also, I remember that the west building of the ghost market sells Soul-Condensing Incense that helps with foundation building. No matter what method you use, you must get it. This time, thanks to Fifth Brother’s heroic killing of the enemy in the Demon Cave, our Ping family has exchanged for a foundation-building pill as we wished. If we have the Soul-Condensing Incense, it won’t be difficult for our Ping family to produce another foundation-building cultivator.”

Foundation Building Pill? !

Ping Xingliu’s breathing became heavy when he heard this:
“Master, don’t worry. I will get this Soul-Condensing Incense even if it costs me my life.”

“Stop talking nonsense. You two remember this. Nothing is more important than your lives. Save your lives first!”

“Yes, Master”

Ping Xingliu felt warm in his heart.

After being busy in the clan for several days, the day of the opening of the ghost market arrived in the blink of an eye.

Ping Xingliu came out of the clan mountain and hurried all the way. When he arrived at Changmeng Mountain, he saw Cao Renshan and He Mingdian waiting for a long time from afar. Ping Xingliu smiled and bowed, saying: “Brother Cao, Brother He, I’m sorry, I’m late.”

Cao Renshan waved his hand, of course he would not care about such a small matter, but pinched a soundproofing spell and said:
“Brother Ping, your clan leader said that the plan has changed and the attack on the Fu family has been postponed. What is going on?”

He Mingdian on the side was obviously also very concerned.

after all.

How could the strategy that the Fu family had formulated when they were promoted to a quasi-ninth-rank family be changed so easily?

Ping Xingliu had obviously already thought of an excuse:
“Brother Cao, Brother He, the Shangguan family performed well in the Demon Cave and directly exchanged for two foundation-building pills. Our clan leader has received a message that Shangguan Hongyu will go to Tianlong City to garrison after coming out of the Demon Cave. Tianlong City and Yunshan County are bordering each other. With the flying speed of the foundation-building cultivators, it will take less than two hours to reach Yunshan County. What our clan leader meant is that this time our three families have exchanged for a foundation-building pill, and when there is one more foundation-building cultivator in the clan, it will be safer to attack the Fu family together.”

How could this nonsense fool He Mingdian and Cao Renshan?

The two looked at each other.

There was a flash of realization in their eyes.

It is rumored that Patriarch Ping and Ping Xingyu were seriously injured. Now it seems that the injuries must be serious, otherwise the plan to attack the Fu family would not be postponed.

and.

Ping Xingfei, the second elder of the Ping family, has not been seen for many years.

Combined with the information obtained by the spies.

Ping Xingfei is most likely dead.

The Heike clan is no longer what it used to be. It is clearly at a disadvantage in the three-family alliance and is no longer the leader of the three families. As a result, it is less polite to Heike Ryu.

Ping Xingliu felt the change in their attitudes and felt a little annoyed, but the situation was stronger than him, so he could only bear it and didn’t say anything more.

The group of three arrived at Ghost Crying Ridge.

Waited for a while.

Three rainbow lights came rushing from the west, and when they faded away, they turned out to be the three foundation-building elders from the Yunteng Tribe and the Tianyang Tribe.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.

just.

This time everyone’s goal is to enter the ghost market.

So they just snorted coldly.

There is no intention to start a war.

Another moment passed.

There was another rainbow light coming from the north. When it faded away, a young man suddenly appeared:
“Fu Changsheng!”

Ping Xingliu narrowed his eyes, and a huge rage rose in his heart.

He was just worried that he couldn’t find an opportunity to avenge his second and third brothers, but this beast just bumped into him. That was great.

He immediately sent a message to Cao Renshan and He Mingdian:
“You two, it seems that the plan to attack the Fu family can be brought forward. As long as we kill that little bastard Fu Changsheng, the Fu family will be in ruins.”

Cao Renshan also chuckled.

I didn’t expect Fu Changsheng to be so bold that he dared to come to the Ghost Market alone.

but.

He glanced at the three tribesmen on the other side with caution, but still held back:
“Brother Ping, now is not a good time to take action.”

“Brother Cao is right. After we enter the Ghost Market, I will keep an eye on Fu Changsheng. After we come out of the Ghost Market and separate from the people from the tribe, the three of us will join forces. How do you think?”

“Very good!”

The three of them were in a good mood.

I never thought that my trip to the ghost market today could make a great contribution to the clan.

Fu Changsheng glanced at the six people on the east and west sides, and there was no shock on his face.

It was just as the intelligence revealed.

Fortunately.

After refreshing the relevant information, he shared the information about the ghost market with Lin Tianfu and his wife. Knowing that there was such a good thing, Lin Tianfu and his wife naturally agreed to attend the meeting.

After a while.

Two red lights came rushing from the south.

The rainbow light faded away.

It was Lin Tianfu and his wife.

Lin Tianfu bowed to Fu Changsheng from a distance and said:
“Brother Fu, I’m sorry, I was entangled in the family affairs and came late.”

“Brother Lin, you are too polite. The ghost market barrier has not yet been opened. It is still too early.”

Fu Changsheng greeted him with a smile.

The three of them were laughing and chatting like old acquaintances, but this scene was particularly glaring in the eyes of Ping Xingliu and the other two.

Ping Xingliu was so angry:
“I heard that the one who guaranteed the Fu family was Lin Tianfu, a peasant. Fu Changsheng is not stupid. He even knew to call for reinforcements. Brother He, Brother Cao, it seems that we have to give up on the plan to kill Fu Changsheng.”

Before the master went into seclusion.

I have to say it again and again, it is better to have less trouble than more.

Now they were three on three.

Ping Xingliu didn’t want to cause any trouble.

Cao Renshan said disdainfully:
“Brother Ping, your Ping family has always been famous for daring to fight and kill. Lin Tianfu and the other two are only in the early stage of foundation building, while the three of us are all in the middle stage of foundation building, and we have established our foundation several decades earlier than them. How come you are afraid of losing in a one-on-one fight? If you are really a coward, then Brother Cao and I will deal with Lin Tianfu and his wife, and you will be left with that little bastard Fu Changsheng. If we miss this good opportunity, we will never have it again. I heard that bitch Shangguan Hongyu will be stationed in Tianlong City soon. By then, with her protecting the Fu family, it will be extremely difficult for us to fight again.”

He Mingdian on the side was also fanning the flames.

Ping Xingliu pondered for a while.

He has reached the fifth level of Foundation Establishment, two levels higher than Fu Changsheng, so a one-on-one fight shouldn’t be a problem for him.

Gritted his teeth:
“it is good”

“Brother Ping, this is right!”

He Mingdian and Cao Renshan laughed.

Everyone waited for another half an hour.

The night is getting dark.

Suddenly.

The originally bright moon was suddenly covered by dark clouds.

It became pitch dark all around.

at this time.

Faint sobbing sounds were heard from Ghost Weeping Ridge. After a while, it seemed as if a woman was singing an opera with a sad tune. Then, there was a buzzing sound from the ground of Ghost Weeping Ridge, and a ball of evil spirit rushed out, then rolled back in mid-air and landed above Ghost Weeping Ridge, condensing into a barrier door.

Above the gate of the barrier.

A bright white lantern was hung.

The three parties looked at each other.

Three people from the tribe waved their sleeves, and saw three middle-grade spirit stones fall into the white lantern. Then their bodies flashed and turned into a white light and disappeared into the door of the barrier.

Cao Renshan and the other two stood still.

Obviously they were afraid that Fu Changsheng would run away halfway, so after Fu Changsheng, Lin Tianfu and his wife entered the door of the barrier, the three of them quickly entered it. However, at the moment when the door of the barrier was about to close, they saw a shadow flash in from the darkness and enter the barrier.

The barrier door shook slightly and then disappeared.

After Fu Changsheng felt a brief dizziness, a dazzling red light came into his eyes.

After standing still.

However, shops made of dead bones stood on both sides of the street. Each shop had two lanterns made of holes hung on it. The fiery red wicks inside were actually evil spirits, which were forged to emit a dark red light.

The red light connected into one.

The entire ghost market was bright red.

An unusual market.

There were no hawking sounds in the shops in the ghost market, only the screams and wails of evil spirits.

and.

The shop was not run by a shopkeeper or servant.

All goods were marked with the number of spirit stones required, and no number was repeated. A treasure bowl was placed on the counter.

After Fu Changsheng stood still.

There was no rush to investigate.

But a thought:
“Exchange Information”

hum!
The panel vibrates.

A large amount of yellow light surged.

Then lines of text appear:
[1: The second floor of the third shop on the west side has Soul-Condensing Incense for sale. Four thousand Spiritual Stones can be exchanged for one.]
