Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 76 Fangshi
As I walked through the gate of the market town, a cold wind blew towards me, and the temperature around me seemed to have suddenly dropped by more than ten degrees.

"clatter……"

Zhu Ju paused slightly, slowed down, and then continued forward.

Formation?

Since the ignition of the mysterious light, his perception has become extremely sharp, and he can even sense the changes in the aura of heaven and earth.

The vital energy of heaven and earth is everywhere, but the atmosphere here is chilling and biting, and the evil cold penetrates into the marrow, which is obviously acquired.

This made him think of the legendary formation.

After all, human power is limited, and it is impossible to influence the aura of heaven and earth for a long time. Only formations can do this.

"No wonder the market prohibits mortals from entering. It seems that it is not only for the sake of secrecy, but also a disguised form of protection."

"Even a sorcerer would be affected if he stayed in this place for a long time. A mortal who stayed there for a while would either suffer a serious illness or die. Perhaps only a mage would be immune to this."

As his thoughts turned, Zhu Ju had already entered the market.

It is called Fangshi.

In fact, it would be more appropriate to call it 'Ghost Market'!
Graves are scattered around, with ghost lights flickering, and the sounds around are also erratic.

From time to time, a cold wind blew, picking up paper money thrown on the ground by someone unknown.

Paper money swirled and flew.

The vendors occupied the more "beautiful" graves, on which they inserted white banners with words written on them and figures sitting below, greeting passers-by in a ghostly manner.

"Painting skin, making talismans, walking in the underworld..."

"A ten-year-old infant ghost, only one drop of essence and blood is needed to feed it every day, and it costs eight spirit jades. Don't miss it if you pass by!"

A plump lady squatted on the grave, black jars placed around her, and shouted loudly:

"Friend, do you want to raise a little ghost?"

"I have mother-and-child ghosts and life-threatening ghosts. The price is negotiable. If you don't like them, I also have beautiful female ghosts."

"This female ghost was once a mainstay of a brothel. She was incredibly beautiful and had the ability to serve others..."

"Don't leave!"

"Selling talismans!" a bald man shouted in a muffled voice:
"Vajra Talisman, Divine Travel Talisman, Exorcism Talisman, three for one Spirit Jade, and Tiandu Five Thunder Talisman for sale."

"Lei Guangtou, could you please stop mentioning that missing Tiandu Five Thunder Talisman?" someone shouted.
"If you could really refine this kind of talisman and sell it here, you would have already become a magician."

"Although I can't draw it, my master could do it when he was alive." The bald man didn't get angry and said slowly:
"I still have a few stocks left by my master. If the price is right, I might be able to sell them."

"Come on!" The other party curled his lips:
"You've been saying this for years. Even if there were any, they would have been sold out long ago."

"Sir, you may wish to take a look at my altar. Whether you are casting spells or practicing, sitting cross-legged on the altar can increase your power."

……

The main transaction in the market is jade, but gold and silver are also accepted.

It’s just that gold and silver are not very cost-effective.

Lingyu is a kind of cut jade with rich spiritual energy inside, which can be used to assist in cultivation.

Along the way, Zhu Ju had seen people trading spiritual jade several times.

He looked around as he walked, and although he didn't walk too slowly to avoid arousing suspicion, he was still amazed.

Martial arts are not flourishing in this world, but magic is flourishing.

There are so many markets where sorcerers gather in Yidu alone, and there must be countless masters in the world.

In addition to the mobile vendors who use graves as stalls, there are also several houses in the market that sell various items.

Among them, the main ones are the Treasure Pavilion of Tiandu Sect, the Shenbingju of the Yamen, and the Monster Shop of the Monster Catcher Organization.

In comparison.

The things sold by mobile vendors are cheaper, but the quality of the three shops is more guaranteed. Each has its pros and cons.

"Monster meat?"

The sorcerer of Baibao Pavilion was a beautiful woman. Upon hearing Zhu Ju's question, she shook her head regretfully:

"There's no monster meat this month. It's likely to arrive next month. Sir, please consider something else."

"I have elixirs, talismans, weapons, and puppets here..."

"Forget it." Zhu Ju shook his head and asked as he turned to leave:

"If you have monster meat, how do you sell it?"

"Buy it with gold and silver."

"As for gold and silver..." the woman began:
"The price varies depending on the monster. Generally speaking, one ounce of gold equals one ounce of monster meat."

"Thanks."

Zhu Ju thanked him and bowed to take his leave.

Monster shop.

This is the designated sales outlet of the Monster Catchers Organization, with various monster skins hanging on the walls of the shop.

The table was filled with various bones.

Animal skins and bones are essential for making certain items and are also sold.

"Monster meat?"

The plump shopkeeper nodded and said:
"It's been hard to hunt monsters lately. Even if we hunt them down, we keep them for ourselves. Very few are sent here."

"If my guess is correct, Treasure Pavilion and Divine Weapon Residence should have run out of stock, right?"

Shenbingju didn’t know, but Baibaoge was indeed sold out.

"Boom!"

A large piece of unknown meat was thrown onto the table; the pink muscle texture indicated that it had been well preserved.

"One ounce of gold, one ounce of gold, how much do you want?"

?

Zhu Ju pursed his lips, his eyes showing doubt:
“Selling it just like that?”

"Otherwise?" The shopkeeper raised his eyebrows.
"Monster meat has always been sold like this. If you want the finest meat, it's a different price."

妖，
Animals with spirits are demons.

Monsters have treasures that are the essence of their own, such as snake gall, bezoar, etc., but not all monster meat is valuable.

Like the big rat Zhu Ju encountered before, only the back of its head was useful, and the rest of its body was just ordinary flesh.

The piece in front of him was a mixture of demon meat and ordinary meat, and the real demon meat might be less than one-tenth of it.

One ounce of gold for one ounce of monster meat?

Do not!
If you really want to buy it, ten taels of gold might be enough to buy one tael of monster meat.

"Demon beast meat contains evil spirits. If ordinary people consume it, the evil spirits will enter their bodies and shorten their lifespans. For cultivators, consuming it will pollute their spirits and souls, hindering their cultivation."

Zhu Ju asked doubtfully:

"If that's the case, why is it so expensive?"

"Heh..." The shopkeeper laughed when he heard this:

"That's true, but monster meat can also greatly increase a person's strength, and many forces are vying for it." "Look outside!"

He looked up and gestured:
"Where do you think these evil guards came from?"

Zhu Ju looked back, thoughtful.

The environment in the market town is different. Ordinary people cannot stay here for a long time, not even sorcerers.

But the patrolling Sha guards can!
The evil guards are just ordinary people, but they have an inexplicable evil spirit that can even restrain spells.

and so……

"Monster meat?"

"Not bad." The shopkeeper shrugged.

"Swallowing monster meat may result in death, or it may lead to becoming a demon guard. Many people are vying for this opportunity."

"A few ounces of demon beast meat could create a Sha Guardian capable of fighting against warlocks. Do you think this price is too high?"

"Not expensive." Zhu Ju sighed:
"How much is pure monster meat?"

"One ounce of gold for ten ounces."

"Give me six pounds."

"Boom!"

The heavy cloth bag filled with gold fell out of his hand and landed on the table, causing the whole table to tremble.

Walking out of the market, Zhu Ju touched the monster meat hanging around his waist, and a smile appeared on his face.

money?
If you lose this thing, you can earn it again.

Moreover, he is the peerless grandmaster in the world of Qi and Blood Martial Arts, so he definitely has no shortage of worldly things like gold and silver.

As long as it can improve your strength, it is worth it no matter how expensive it is!

The night is dark.

Zhu Ju quickened his pace and walked towards the city. After turning several corners and entering an alley, he suddenly stopped.

"You have been following me since entering the market, and have been following me until now. Why is it so?"

At the end of the alley, a man in black appeared out of nowhere.

"Hehe..." The man in black sneered:

"I heard that an unidentified nobleman has come to Yidu City. I'm a little short on cash recently, so I'd like to ask you for some support."

"Seeing you came out of the monster hunter's shop, you must have reaped a lot of rewards. Why don't you leave your things behind?"

"You know me?" Zhu Ju raised his eyebrows:
"But you, alone, want to engage in highway robbery. Aren't you afraid of losing your life?"

"Of course I'm not the only one." The man in black chuckled.

"And her!"

At the head of the alley, an old woman holding a cane walked out and pointed at Zhu Ju from a distance.

"Certainly!"

Soul-calming technique!
This is a spell that suppresses the soul. If this spell falls on the body, thoughts will stop functioning.

Zhu Ju had been through hundreds of battles, but he had never fought against a sorcerer. After being pointed at by the sorcerer, he was unable to move.

at the same time.

"Shh!"

A black light flew out from the sleeve of the man in black at the end of the alley and headed straight for Zhu Ju's forehead at an astonishing speed, hitting him right between his eyebrows.

succeed!

Both of them looked happy.

"Ding……"

There was a crisp crashing sound, and Zhu Ju's body shook, and he was freed from the influence of the soul-calming technique.

However, the collision of the black light was not affected at all.

"Grandma Niu, it's you!"

The old woman holding a cane at the end of the alley was actually Granny Niu who had previously taught Zhu Ju the art of controlling objects.

With a low roar, he pounced forward as fast as lightning.

"Want to get close?"

A dark shadow fell from the sky:

"It's my turn!"

Please magic!
The man's eyes narrowed, and he let out a low roar. His body, which was already larger than that of an ordinary person, swelled even more.

He stretched out his arms and faced Zhu Ju.

"Peng!"

The energy is surging.

"It's you!"

Zhu Ju's eyebrows drooped slightly, murderous intent rising in his eyes:
"Huo Yan!"

This person was also an acquaintance, and it was Huo Yan, the sorcerer who taught him the "Summoning God Technique" together with Granny Niu.

"That's right." Huo Yan grinned, his seemingly steady and honest face revealing a cunning expression:
"Mr. Zhu, we meet again!"

"Hmph!" Granny Niu snorted coldly:

"We've been waiting for so long. Luckily, the method I left on you that day is still there, otherwise we really wouldn't be able to find you."

"Stop talking nonsense." The man in black shouted:

"This place is not far from the market town. If we make too much noise, it might attract the evil guards. We must fight quickly and decisively."

Granny Niu, Huo Yan, and the man in black, except Feng Hongda, were all present that day.

"on!"

The man in black shook his hands, and dozens of black lights flew out from his sleeves, mixed with a buzzing sound.

Gu insect!

Flying Mantis Gu!
This fingernail-sized poisonous insect has a pair of extremely sharp knife-like legs that can cut through gold and iron.

Huo Yan roared and used all his strength to summon the divine power, suppressing Zhu Ju with the enormous force.

Granny Niu took a deep breath, her cloudy eyes flashed with dazzling light, and she pointed forward again.

Soul-calming technique!
"Certainly!"

Zhu Ju paused.

Fei Tang Gu's knife-like feet and Huo Yan's fists fell on him at the same time.

"boom!"

The energy exploded.

The black robe on Zhu Ju's body was torn into pieces, and the fragments flew all over the sky, revealing the black armor underneath.

Pojun Armor!
