Chapter 529 Entering the ghost market!
"Discussion?"
Gu Jiancheng raised an eyebrow.
Huangfu Shan's cultivation level is quite good, but she is probably no match for him.
"Let's forget it, Senior Sister. I know you're a battle maniac, but if the two of you start fighting, it'll never end. Besides, we have a lot of things to do!" Ling Chenyan quickly stopped her.
"Anything else?"
"what's up?"
Huangfu Shan, however, could no longer suppress her fighting spirit.
"Ahem, didn't we get a lot of treasures from the secret realm and want to get rid of them? We originally wanted to sell them to the sect, but now it seems that's not possible."
“I’m going to take Brother Jiancheng to the Ghost Market!” Ling Chenyan said.
"Ghost market?"
“That’s not bad either.” Huangfu Shan frowned and said, “The things you have on you really can’t appear in Lingtian Sect.”
"But the Ghost Market is a dangerous place with all sorts of people. I'll go with you so we can look out for each other."
"Besides, I have some connections in the ghost market, so at least I won't let you get ripped off."
"That's great! With you here, Senior Sister, things will be much simpler!"
Ling Chenyan smiled.
"In that case, let's go!"
Huangfu Shan smiled and then took out a strangely shaped black stone, which was carved with various skulls and ghost faces.
Seeing the curiosity on Gu Jiancheng's face, she explained, "This is the Ghost Market Token. After using this token to teleport several times, you can go to the Ghost Market!"
"The Ghost Market is an independent space in the Chaotic Immortal Realm. It is not governed by any force, but it has its own rules. You can trade freely in it, and you can do anything. You can even hire hunters to hunt down your enemies."
"I see, that's quite interesting." Gu Jiancheng also became curious upon hearing this.
Immediately, Huangfu Shan activated the Ghost Market Token, and a teleportation array appeared in front of everyone.
"Put on the cloaks. We can only stay inside for a maximum of one day before we are teleported out."
After Huangfu Shan finished speaking, she handed each person a cloak and they all entered the teleportation array together.
The teleportation array in this ghost market was quite complex. Although it wasn't high-level, it teleported people more than ten times before they finally emerged from it.
"Is this the Ghost Market? It is indeed eerie!" Ran Hongfu frowned as she entered.
Because what appeared before them was a long street of city shrouded in black mist.
The entire street looked quite dilapidated, yet there were many cultivators coming and going.
However, these cultivators were all wearing cloaks and moving through the black mist, making them look like they were from the underworld.
This ghost market truly lives up to its name.
"The Ghost Market is an independent secret realm. It was once a secret realm ruin, but it was later controlled by a mysterious person and turned into the Ghost Market."
"Only by gaining the approval of the Ghost Market owner can one be qualified to open a shop or a hunting organization here."
"But there are many swindlers here. Don't believe anything these cultivators say. Stay close to me and don't get separated."
As Huangfu Shan spoke, she led the group from the main street to another alleyway.
“Those who can open shops on the main street are not ordinary people, but these shops have strong backing, and you are easily exposed.”
“I have a friend whose shop isn’t big, but they’re quite well-off. Most importantly, we know each other, so she’ll definitely keep it a secret for us,” Huangfushan continued.
"Are you sure?" Gu Jiancheng asked at this moment.
In fact, given his personality, he would rather trade with strangers than with acquaintances in such a place.
After all, who can guarantee that the other party will keep it absolutely secret?
“I understand your concerns, but don’t worry, the owner of that shop is actually… my mother.” Huangfu Shan hesitated for a moment before spreading her hands.
"What!?"
But everyone gasped in surprise upon hearing this.
Huangfu Shan's mother?
This is absolutely mind-blowing!
"Senior sister, really? You didn't tell us this before!"
Ling Chenyan was also greatly surprised.
"Hehe, my mother has been with my father for a long time, and their relationship is not good, so I can't say anything about it."
“My mother is very strong-willed. She built her own career and has been good to me, but I rarely visit her.”
Huangfu Shan smiled and then said, "So, don't worry, I swear on my life, you're absolutely safe."
"Moreover, my mother's influence is far removed from the Lingtian Sect and has no connection with the Qin family. The Qin family is not worthy of making a deal with my mother."
"Okay, then I'm relieved." Gu Jiancheng nodded.
Immediately, as they talked, they arrived at the depths of a small alley.
"Cuiwei Pavilion".
Gu Jiancheng raised an eyebrow, looking at the shop sign at the end of the alley.
In this ghost market, the name is quite elegant.
"Don't be fooled by the fact that this alley is deep and the storefront is small. My mother only does business with acquaintances; she doesn't let ordinary people in."
Huangfu Shan smiled, then took out a bamboo jade hairpin, flashed past the door, and the tightly closed wooden door suddenly opened.
Immediately, a cultivator dressed in black robes emerged from among them, speaking in a hoarse, surprised voice, "Miss?"
"Why are you here?"
"Yes, I brought my friend today. Is my mom here?"
Huangfu Shan asked with a smile.
"Yes, yes, the shopkeeper just arrived recently. What a coincidence!"
"Miss, come in quickly! The shopkeeper will be so happy to know you're here!"
The monk ushered Huangfu Shan and the others into the shop, then, overjoyed, headed towards the back room.
When Gu Jiancheng arrived at the shop, he discovered that the space inside was indeed suppressed.
Upon entering, one finds a courtyard pavilion surrounded by green bamboo and cypress trees, with swirling mist and clouds. On either side are antique chairs, seemingly elegant, but the materials used in these chairs are of the highest quality, reaching the level of a Golden Immortal.
Even the stones paving the ground are materials of the Golden Immortal level.
That's incredibly wealthy and powerful!
"Shan'er!"
A moment later, a woman rushed out of the back room like the wind and hugged Huangfu Shan tightly.
Gu Jiancheng and the others looked over and found that the woman holding Huangfu Shan was not wearing a black robe, but a green dress. She was extremely beautiful and looked seven-tenths like Huangfu Shan, like sisters.
However, what shocked them even more was the woman's cultivation level!
Because even a mere wisp of pressure emanating from it was enough to suppress everything here, causing Gu Jiancheng to hold his breath!
This woman's cultivation level has actually reached the peak of the Immortal King realm!?
Is he only half a step away from becoming a Celestial Lord?
With that level of cultivation, even in a so-called holy land, that would make one a top-tier expert, right?
Huangfu Shan's mother is terrifying!?
"Mother, how have you been lately?"
A complex expression also flashed across Huangfu Shan's face.
It seems that her relationship with her mother is not so simple.
