My talisman pen is omnipotent. How should you deal with it?

When Shopkeeper Ma heard that Chu Ci wanted to buy the corpse evil turbid qi, his face changed slightly, and he asked cautiously: "Seeing that you look righteous, you must be a person of the righteous path. Why do you need the corpse evil turbid qi that only corpse cultivators use?"

After asking, he realized that he had said something wrong, so he quickly explained, "Don't misunderstand, I was just asking casually. If someone else had asked me about the matter of the evil spirits, I would not have told them. But we hit it off right away, so I will introduce a place to you."

Chu Ci was delighted when he heard this. The reason why he deliberately mentioned that he would come again and asked for a sound transmission note was to induce Shopkeeper Ma to tell the truth.

Chu Ci knew very well that the other party's words "we felt like old friends at first sight" were just compliments from the other party who valued his potential value, so he naturally did not take them seriously.

So Chu Ci cupped his hands and said, "I feel the same way. Thank you very much, Brother Ma."

Shopkeeper Ma stroked his beard and spoke slowly, "Unlike other countries, most places in our Jin Kingdom strictly prohibit the existence of demonic cultivators. Especially the Luoying Sect, they are irreconcilable with demonic cultivators. Therefore, it is not convenient to sell this corpse evil qi directly. If the people of the Luoying Sect know about it, I am afraid it will cause a lot of trouble."

Chu Ci was slightly stunned after hearing this. Luoying Sect and the Demon Cultivators were sworn enemies? He had never heard of this before. But he did not show any strangeness, just quietly listening to what Shopkeeper Ma said next.

"In fact, there are quite a few people practicing magic cultivation techniques near Lingxi City. In order to find cultivation resources, these people naturally need a place to trade. So an underground market gradually formed nearby."

Chu Ci's eyes lit up when he heard this. An underground market must contain many rare items that cannot be bought in ordinary places.

"I think this market must be extremely secretive. It would be difficult for a stranger like me to enter." Chu Ci asked.

Shopkeeper Ma nodded slightly and explained: "You are right, this place is called 'Ghost Market', it is indeed extraordinary. If you don't have an acquaintance to introduce you, you will definitely not be able to enter. However, I have some connections with some people in the Ghost Market, and I happen to have a token in my hand. You only need to hold this token to enter and exit freely. The Ghost Market should have what you need."

As he spoke, Shopkeeper Ma slowly took out a token from his bosom. The token was engraved with complex patterns and emitted a faint glow.

He gently placed the token on the table and pushed it towards Chu Ci.

Chu Ci's eyes flickered as he looked at the token in front of him, but he did not reach out to take it immediately. He asked, "Shopkeeper Ma, please lend me this token. Do you have any other requests?"

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Ma smiled even more: "Fellow Daoist Chu, to be honest, I only have one small request. I just need you to sell me another 10,000 of these Soul Gathering Talismans within a year. I wonder if you can agree to this?"

Chu Ci heard this and said calmly, "Fellow Daoist, are you asking me to swear a Heart Demon Oath?" The Heart Demon Oath has a very strong binding force on cultivators. Once violated, the consequences will be disastrous. If the other party really made this request, he would refuse without hesitation.

Now that we already know about the existence of the Ghost Market, there will always be other people willing to introduce it.

Seeing this, Shopkeeper Ma quickly waved his hand and explained, "Brother Chu, you are worrying too much. How could I make such an excessive request? You just need to verbally agree to this agreement."

Although the so-called verbal agreement does not have the side effect of backlash like the inner demon oath, it is also an invisible constraint for practitioners. If you do not abide by the promise, you will inevitably feel bound in your heart, which is also extremely detrimental to your practice.

After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Chu Ci felt that it was feasible. He nodded and promised solemnly: "Okay, I agree. Within one year, I will definitely deliver the 10,000 second-level soul gathering talismans that I promised you as scheduled."

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Ma was delighted and quickly pushed the black token in front of Chu Ci: "Daoyou, this token is the certificate for entering the Ghost Market. The Ghost Market is located 200 miles north of here. There is a black dead tree that is very conspicuous. You can enter at midnight tonight with this token. However, regarding the existence of the Ghost Market, please keep it a secret and don't mention it to others."

Chu Ci took the token and secretly noted the location and time. After nodding in agreement, he stood up and left Baicao Zhai.

It was still early, so he started to go shopping like crazy, visiting more than 20 stores in a row. Half of the materials needed for the nine kinds of golden elixirs were already available. The remaining materials were either in insufficient quantity or not available at all.

We also bought more than 600 plants of black jingcao, and all of them were over a hundred years old. This number is enough to start refining zombies.

Chu Ci waited until almost midnight and arrived at the agreed place according to what the shopkeeper Ma had said.

From a distance, he saw a huge black dead tree standing in the night, like an ancient and mysterious statue. The branches of the dead tree were twisted, as if carrying the vicissitudes and secrets of countless years.

According to what Shopkeeper Ma said, there was an entrance hidden inside the dead tree, through which one could enter the underground ghost market. He approached the dead tree cautiously and felt a chilly breath coming out of the trunk, which made him shudder.

Just when Chu Ci got near the dead tree, a figure suddenly flashed from the left, and a man wearing a bull-head mask appeared in front of him. The eyes under the mask revealed a cold look, and he asked in a deep voice: "Do you have a token, fellow Taoist?"

Chu Ci took out the token from his bosom and handed it to the Minotaur. The Minotaur took the token, looked at it carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, he asked in a deep voice: "Who introduced you to this place, fellow Taoist?"

Chu Ci replied, "Fellow Daoist Ma from Baicaozhai."

The Minotaur nodded, took out a tiger-shaped mask from his ring, handed it to Chu Ci and said, "Please wear this mask, you are not allowed to take it off in the Ghost Market."

Chu Ci took the mask and put it on his head. There was a small restriction on the mask to prevent spiritual detection.

These are all routine procedures, and Shopkeeper Ma had told him about them long ago.

Seeing that Chu Ci had put on the mask, the Minotaur turned sideways, revealing a small formation behind him. Chu Ci stepped inside, and felt the surroundings light up, and the scenery in front of him suddenly changed.

This is quite similar to a teleportation array, but Chu Ci did not feel dizzy during the teleportation. He estimated that this place should not be too far from the dead tree.

He looked around and found that this place was exactly the same as the ghost market described by Shopkeeper Ma. He was standing in a huge street, which was bustling with activity. There were all kinds of strange stalls and shops. The people walking in it all wore animal masks, as if they were in another world.

At this moment, a loud and slightly hoarse voice sounded. The voice seemed to have cast some kind of secret spell, and it was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears:

"My fellow Taoists, come and take a look at this! Is anyone interested in this first-level fox girl? Now it only costs 5,000 spirit stones. You can buy it and cultivate it as a spirit beast, and you can also enjoy it as a sexual beast. It can also be put into the spirit beast bag when not in use. Everyone, take a look at this little girl. Isn't she pretty? And she's still a chick."
