Before entering the Ghost Market, Chu Ci had already noticed that someone had quietly placed more than a dozen spiritual marks on his body.

In Lingxi City, where there are so many experts and people's minds are hard to predict, it is common to be secretly targeted by others.

Moreover, his behavior in the city attracted the attention of many people. Every time he went to a store, he spent money like water, spending hundreds of thousands or even millions of spirit stones like flowing water. Such a heroic act would naturally attract the attention of others.

Although these tracking secret techniques are sophisticated, they cannot escape Chu Ci's spiritual sense.

However, Chu Ci did not erase these marks immediately. He planned to deal with them together before leaving Lingxi City.

Continuing to walk forward, Chu Ci's eyes were attracted by a small two-story building. On the door of the building, the words "Hunting Bounty List" were written.

Chu Ci was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that there would be such a place for issuing assassination missions in this ghost market.

He walked in curiously, only to see that the walls were covered with all kinds of pictures. Under each picture, there was a corresponding reward amount.

Chu Ci browsed through them one by one, and suddenly, his eyes fixed on a picture. It was an old man, who looked quite familiar.

The text below the picture surprised Chu Ci.

"Master Taixu, the Jindan elder of Luoying Sect, offers a reward of 100 million spirit stones."

Chu Ci was shocked. He didn't expect that Master Taixu, whom he had met once when he was in Luoying Sect, was now listed as a wanted target.

Looking further down, Chu Ci discovered that several pictures were marked with red crosses, indicating that the assassination mission had obviously been completed.

Just as Chu Ci continued to look at the bounty list, his eyes suddenly fixed on the 28th place.

It was a bearded man. Chu Ci looked carefully and couldn't help but widen his eyes. It turned out to be the disguise talisman he used when fighting the square-faced monk before!

The text below reads, "Bearded monk, perfect foundation building, bounty of 30 spirit stones."

Chu Ci raised his eyebrows slightly, it seems that he is quite valuable.

Chu Ci speculated that it must be that after the square-faced man escaped back to the Tianyin Sect, he described his appearance in detail, which was why he was put on the hunting bounty list.

Although he was only in the middle stage of foundation building, he was able to defeat the square-faced man and so many zombies. The person who put him on the list must have thought that he had concealed his cultivation level, so he overestimated his strength and wrote that he had reached the perfect foundation.

Chu Ci thought to himself, it seems that this bearded man's disguise charm cannot be worn for the time being. If he continues to appear in that appearance, it will probably cause a lot of trouble.

He turned around and prepared to leave the building, but when he looked back he found a notice posted on the wall behind him.

He walked over curiously and examined it carefully.

The notice said recruitment information. It turned out that an organization was recruiting independent cultivators all year round, with annual salaries ranging from 3 to 100 million spirit stones. If you are interested, please contact Xue Laojiu in the ghost market.

The recruitment notice did not reveal any names of the organizations to be joined, nor did it detail the specific work and tasks after joining. If I want to know more details, I will probably have to go to Xue Laojiu mentioned in the notice in person.

Chu Ci turned around and left the small building. Thinking that the time was about right, he walked towards where the rat monk had been before.

From a distance, he saw the rat monk looking around, obviously waiting for him. Seeing Chu Ci coming, the rat monk waved at him.

"Fellow Daoist, 100 bottles of corpse evil qi have been brought here. Please check them." The rat monk transmitted the message and handed over a storage ring.

Chu Ci took the ring, and with a move of his consciousness, a bottle of corpse evil turbid air appeared in his hand. He gently opened the bottle cap, and a stream of black and red liquid came into view, accompanied by a nauseating smell.

Chu Ci looked at the bottle of corpse-evil air carefully. It was exactly the same as what was recorded in the book, so it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.

After accepting the things, he put another 10 spirit stones into it. The rat monk smiled and took a bottle and handed it to Chu Ci:

"Fellow Daoist Tiger, this bottle of virgin energy is a gift from me. You will know its benefits after using it."

Judging from the name, it seemed to be made with a virgin boy. He wanted to refuse it directly, but then he thought that if he rejected it directly, it might not be in line with the atmosphere in this ghost market, so he had to accept it.

After finishing all the tasks here, Chu Ci walked towards the entrance. It was time to go back to find Peng Qi.

When he reached the entrance, he left the token and mask with the minotaur guarding the gate as instructed by the shopkeeper Ma, and then walked out of the ghost market directly.

As soon as he stepped out of the ghost market, he found that the sky had already slightly brightened. Chu Ci walked quickly forward.

When he reached a corner, he quickly turned and entered a dark alley.

After entering, Chu Ci looked around and confirmed that no one was following him. He quickly took off the disguise charm on his head and his clothes. He put on a brand new Taoist robe that he had never worn before, and turned into an arrogant young man.

Then he took out a few cleaning talismans and threw them at himself and the clothes on the ground.

After clearing away all possible traces, he put away the disguise talisman and shot out a fireball, burning the old clothes to ashes.

Only when the flames gradually died down did he turn around and walk out of the dark alley, heading quickly towards the west.

Two hours later, Chu Ci was sitting in a teahouse in the center of Lingxi City, sipping a pot of spiritual tea in front of him.

This is a teahouse specially open to cultivators. The atmosphere is quiet and elegant, and the prices are very high. The pot of Oolong tea in front of Chu Ci costs 50 spirit stones.

Chu Ci was concentrating on watching the people coming and going on the street ahead. Although he had checked several times, there were many secret techniques in the world of immortal cultivation, and he was still not completely sure whether he had completely escaped the pursuit.

"Hey, brother, have you heard?" A voice broke the silence around and attracted Chu Ci's attention.

He turned his head and saw several monks talking in low voices at a table not far away.

“I heard that Luoying Sect has sent another group of monks to Baoxia Spiritual Mine.” One of them said.

"Oh? How many people were sent this time?" another person asked curiously.

"I heard that this time there are six Jindan cultivators with 30 foundation-building cultivators." The previous person answered.

Chu Ci's heart moved. Baoxia Spiritual Mine seemed to be the most popular place now.

"It seems that Luoying Sect has invested a lot this time." Another person sighed, "In total, they sent out nearly 200 Jindan cultivators alone."

"I heard that the Jin Fu Sect also sent a lot of people." Another person interrupted.

The people at the same table disagreed: "Baoxia Ling Mine originally belongs to them. If they don't send people, who will?"

"You're not right." At this time, someone at another table also joined the discussion: "I told you that the mining rights have changed a long time ago. I heard that it is shared by the five major sects of Jin State. Otherwise, why would Luo Ying Sect be so enthusiastic?"

Chu Ci listened to the diverse conversations and gradually gained a deeper understanding of the situation at the Baoxia Spiritual Mine.

Since it involves a war between two countries, it is definitely not something that the Jinfu Sect can fight alone, and it needs help from other sects. Naturally, the rights to the spiritual mine cannot be monopolized by one sect.
