If I don’t become the last one, I will be immortal!

Chapter 23 Xingxing, you look down on me!

Spreading the human skin flat on the table, Fanxing took out the brush and paint.

Because she works in the embroidery business, Fanxing often has to draw her own drawings, so she has pens and paints at home.

Then Fanxing turned on the computer, searched for a large number of photos of people, injected spiritual energy into the paintbrush, and began to trace on the human skin's face according to the photos.

She did not completely imitate a person's facial features, but took one person's eyes, another person's nose, and another person's mouth... and finally combined the facial features of different people together to form a brand new face.

As a Painted Skin, Fanxing is very sensitive to beauty and can tell at a glance which facial features are the most suitable combination.

After an unknown amount of time, a beautiful face gradually took shape on the human skin.

After putting down the paintbrush, Fanxing picked up the human skin and admired it, with a look of satisfaction on her face.

Thin willow-shaped eyebrows, narrow fox eyes, a high nose bridge, thin lips... She is a beauty, the kind that is hard to tell whether she is androgynous.

Now that the new image is ready, let’s try it out.

Thinking of this, Fanxing took off her clothes and then slowly put herself into the human skin.

There is a crack on the back of the human skin, which is just big enough for Fanxing to get in.

The magical thing is that when the stars entered the human skin, the crack on her back began to emit a faint white light, and then the crack quickly healed and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Walking slowly to the mirror, Fanxing looked at her unfamiliar face and gently stroked her cheek.

It feels exactly like a real person.

This human skin is a male's skin, so the stars at this moment are in the image of a male.

This way, she won't have to worry about being recognized when she goes out hunting in the future.

There is just one thing, that is, the human skin she made has a limited number of uses. After multiple uses, the human skin will gradually break down.

Then we will have to look for new human skins.

It's really a headache.

After trying on the human skin, Fanxing took it off and then carefully put it into the spiritual pattern bracelet.

Time flies, and 20 days have passed in the blink of an eye. The time for Fanxing and her friends to finish their training is getting closer and closer.

These days, Fanxing goes to school as usual every day, and when he gets home at night, he takes Yato and the princess out hunting.

Unlike the first night, the spirit species that Fanxing hunted later were all F-level minions, which had little effect on improving her strength.

But there's nothing we can do about it. This is the norm in the surface world, and powerful spiritual species are extremely rare.

Spiritual species of the level of the mysterious man encountered on the first night and his pig butcher and bull butcher are special cases.

Besides, even if they meet again, Fanxing will never take the initiative to approach her again.

Because she found this matter very complicated.

It was obvious that she killed Lin Zaize and that mysterious man, but the serial murders in Hongguang City continued, and the rumors of the Skull-Splitting Butcher were terrifying.

It is obvious that this is an organized crime and the criminals are related to spiritualists.

Fanxing doesn't want to cause any more trouble.

Fortunately, she did not encounter such a thing again in the following days.

In addition, Fanxing would go to the tower for combat training every day without fail, so her, the princess, and Yato's combat experience became visibly richer.

So far, she has reached the 21st floor.

The reward for the 20th level is to expand the capacity of the Spirit Pattern Bracelet by 1 cubic meter, which means that the Starry Spirit Pattern Bracelet can now store 2 cubic meters of items.

Although it is only a small extra 1 cubic meter, it can play a huge role at critical moments.

That afternoon, Fanxing was about to leave after school when she was suddenly stopped by Fan Honghong.

"Xingxing, do you want to go to a nice place?" Fan Honghong said mysteriously.

"A good place? Where?" Fanxing was puzzled.

Fan Honghong lowered his voice and said, "Ghost Market."

"Ghost Market?" Fanxing frowned and immediately lowered her voice to ask, "It's those shady places in novels where secret transactions are carried out."

Fan Honghong slapped Fanxing's arm, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "What are you thinking? This ghost market is a place that the alliance tacitly allows to exist.

You know, although the spiritualists of the alliance can get rewards through merit, merit cannot be circulated as currency.

Therefore, if a spiritualist has something that he does not need, he needs to trade it through other platforms, and thus the ghost market came into being.

Of course, the ghost market was indeed created for this reason.

But over the years, with the development of the Ghost Market, various forces have continued to move in. Now it has become an area that even the Alliance cannot fully control. Not only are the forces of various parties complicated, but even dark spirits have quietly infiltrated.

The ghost market is held every three months and is only known within a small circle. I only found out about it by eavesdropping on my parents’ conversation.

My parents don't allow me to go to places like that, but I've always wanted to go and see what's out there."

After hearing this, Fanxing said, "Now that you mention it, I want to go and have a look too."

"Right, right!" Fan Honghong said excitedly, "Let's go together. I know the place."

However, Fanxing shook her head and said, "I won't go with you. Tell me the location and I'll go by myself."

"Why?" Fan Honghong said with a sad face.

Fanxing said: "Do you think it is appropriate for you to go there with your strength? If something goes wrong, will you be responsible or will I be responsible?"

"Uh..." Fan Honghong was speechless. She cried and said, "Xingxing, you look down on me."

Fanxing admitted very generously, "Yes! With your strength, even if I want to respect you, I can't go against my conscience!"

Fortunately, Fan Honghong was not an unreasonable person. He did not pester Fanxing to take him with him. He was also very clear that he was not strong enough, and he had no intention of going secretly.

"Then you must tell me what the ghost market is like when you come back." Fan Honghong said pitifully.

"Okay, I can promise you that." Fanxing said readily.

Upon hearing this, Fan Honghong happily drew a route map of the ghost market venue for Fanxing.

After leaving school, Fanxing found a secret place, put on the skin she painted herself, changed into men's clothes, and then rushed to the ghost market venue.

The ghost market naturally cannot be held in the surface world. It is in a deep mountain near Hongguang City.

As soon as she reached the foot of the mountain, Fanxing saw many people climbing the mountain like her. They were in groups of three or five, all heading in the same direction.

Needless to say, they all came to participate in the ghost market like Fanxing.

This was just right, saving Fanxing the trouble of looking for them, so she quickly followed those people.

After walking along the mountain path for an unknown amount of time, Fanxing arrived at a valley.

The valley was shrouded in thick fog, and I could only vaguely see many tall trees growing in it.

The people walking in front walked into the fog one after another and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The Ghost Market is right here? No wonder it's called the Ghost Market, so mysterious.

Fanxing was about to step in when she heard some familiar voices. She turned around and saw that it was Lu Xiangxiang and the others.

Seeing that the most rebellious Fan Honghong didn't come, these guys came instead.

There were three people traveling with Lu Xiangxiang, including her best friend Mei Xiaohuan and two men, all of whom were classmates of Fanxing.

Fanxing remembered that the tall one seemed to be called Wu Xingyu, and the shorter one seemed to be called Sun Chao.

Because everyone kept their distance from her, she didn't bother to remember other people's names.

The four of them walked into the valley talking and laughing, looking very excited.

After the figures of several people disappeared, Fanxing walked into the valley.

The magical thing was that when she entered the valley, she did not see the big trees she saw outside, nor was there a trace of fog inside. Instead, there was a bustling street.

There are rows of wooden houses on both sides of the street, which look like shops. Some of the shop owners also have spiritual seeds.

When Fanxing was passing by a shop, a charming voice suddenly came from inside.

"Guest, would you like to come in and take a look?"

Fanxing looked in the direction of the voice and saw a red-haired fox sitting behind the counter of the shop.

The fox looks a bit fat, with a round face and a round belly, but judging by the sound, it should be a female.

It wears a beige sweat towel and a gray apron, exuding a lazy temperament.

Fanxing felt that if this fox were a person, it would definitely be a fat beauty.

She was a little curious about what kind of spirit seed it was, and was about to use the illustrated guide to check it out, but she heard the fox stand up from the chair and say, "Handsome boy, it's very rude to point the illustrated guide at someone else."

After hearing this, Fanxing had no choice but to give up.

The fox smiled and waved at Fanxing, "Handsome boy, are you really not going to come and take a look? I really have some good stuff here."

When Fanxing walked in, she saw all kinds of jewelry displayed in the shop’s glass window, all made of various colorful gemstones.

No, those are not ordinary gems, but psychic gems.

"How about it, buddy? Do you want to pick one for your girlfriend? These pieces of jewelry are helpful to spiritualists~" Fox suddenly stuck half of his body out from behind the counter, put his head close to Fanxing, and said in a seductive tone.

Fanxing felt her mind was in a trance and she quickly distanced herself from the fox.

"No, I don't have a girlfriend." The fox used charm on it.

The fox's expression changed immediately when he heard this. "What a stinky man who can't recognize gold and jade."

After saying that, it sat back in its chair and ignored Fanxing.

After leaving the fox's shop, Fanxing was suddenly attracted by an old man's shop.

There were actually many beautiful flower fairies flying in this old man's shop, including jasmine fairies, rose fairies, lily fairies, orchid fairies, and so on.

To be precise, the old man is not a human either.

He was hunched over, holding a green wooden cane, his head was covered with green leaves, his face was wrinkled like book covers, his clothes were also covered with green leaves, and his lower body was directly like tree roots.

Even without the atlas, Fanxing recognized the identity of this spirit species, the Sage of Wood.

During class, Teacher Hu used it to give examples and showed photos.

The Wood Sage is the evolved form of the Jungle Herald, which is the evolved form of the Wood Sprite, which is the evolved form of the Wood Spirit.

Although the little wood spirit is very ordinary, after so many evolutions, the Wood Sage has become a very powerful spirit species.

With the fox's reminder, Fanxing no longer used the illustration book to target others at will.

Noticing Fanxing's gaze, the Wood Sage said with a smile, "Young man, do you want to come over and take a look?"

Fanxing walked into the store and saw the counter filled with various flowers, including peonies, roses, lilies, chrysanthemums... They were so colorful and beautiful.

The Wood Sage explained, "These are flowers carefully cultivated by the Jungle Messengers and the Flower Honey Whisperers. They emit spiritual light. If you plant them where you live, they will gradually enrich the spiritual energy there."

The Jungle Messenger is the evolved form of the Wood Elf, while the Flower Whisperer is the evolved form of the Flower Elf.

Of course, the evolution of spirit species is very complicated. Flower demons and wood demons may not necessarily evolve into these two types. They may also evolve into other forms.
"So magical?" Fanxing looked surprised.

"Of course." The Wood Sage nodded. "I've been doing business here for decades, and I never cheat anyone."

Fanxing was a little moved by what it said.

"Can it really gather spiritual energy?" Fanxing confirmed.

"Really? How could I, at my age, lie to you? If you don't believe me, ask other people." The Sage of Wood said frankly.

At this time, a head popped out of a shop next door. It was a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard. He was a normal human being, not a spirit seed.

I only heard the uncle say, "The things they sell are all genuine and really useful, but they are very expensive."

Fanxing smiled and said, "Since it's a good thing, it's normal for it to be a bit expensive."

The Wood Sage's face immediately lit up with smiles. "Young man, you're a real expert! Some people, even though they don't have money, still say my stuff isn't good. It really makes me angry!"

The middle-aged man laughed and said, "You old tree stump, you are not a human being."

The Wood Sage slapped his head and said with a smile, "Yes, look at my head, I forgot everything."

Fanxing glanced at the flowers in the store and asked, "Does the old man have any recommendations?"

The Wood Sage pondered for a moment, then pointed to a pot of green seedlings with short thorns on their roots and said:
"Why not buy roses? They have a very strong ability to gather spirits. If you plant them outside the yard, they will climb the walls and grow. Once they cover the entire wall, their ability to gather spirits will be further enhanced.

When the roses climb all over the courtyard wall and are in full bloom, the scenery is simply beautiful!
By the way, the flowers we cultivate have a high probability of giving birth to flower spirits. With flower spirits caring for the rose, it will bloom even more beautifully."

The more Fanxing listened, the more excited she became. "Okay, then give me a rose."

The Wood Sage asked, "Young man, what color do you like?"

Fanxing asked, "What colors are there?"

The Wood Sage smiled and said, "Red, white, pink, yellow, purple... we have them all!"

After a moment's thought, Fanxing said, "Give me a yellow one."

The bright yellow color will definitely look beautiful if it blooms all over the courtyard wall.

The Wood Sage smiled and handed the sapling to Fanxing. "Okay, thank you for your patronage. Here's a psychic gem."

"A... a psychic gem?" Fanxing was stunned. Is it so expensive?
A psychic gem costs one hundred thousand dollars!
Although she was prepared for the high price, she was still shocked by the price asked by the Wood Sage.

"Yes, what's the problem?" asked the Sage of Wood.

Fanxing asked in a negotiating tone, "Can we bargain?"

The Wood Sage shook his head firmly, "No bargaining!"

"Okay!" Fanxing accepted her fate. Thinking about the function of this flower, although it was a bit expensive, it was still acceptable.

After paying the money, Fanxing put the flower seedlings into the spiritual pattern bracelet.

There are only 13 psychic gems in total, and two of them have been used up.
