The cannon fodder just wants to survive until the end

"Of course you can, but this guest needs to pay a deposit of 100 taels for his first visit to the ghost market. Although I can be the guest's guarantor, this rule cannot be broken."

The boss was very sensible, but he still had some small thoughts. Ming Huaixi didn't care about his little thoughts. There was indeed a rule that one had to have a guarantor to enter the Ghost Market, but the amount of money depended on the situation. Ming Huaixi didn't want to offend this person too much, so he just gave the money.

"Here, this is a hundred taels of silver, which is accepted in all countries."

When the boss saw the banknote, he no longer cared about Ming Huaixi's previous threats to him. His expressionless face changed and he smiled so hard that wrinkles appeared on his face.

"Oh, come on, this is really neglecting the guests. Let me tell you about the rules of the ghost market. In this ghost market, people are not allowed to talk. If you talk, you will break the rules. You must cover yourself tightly after entering.

Fighting is prohibited in the Ghost Market, but this rule does not apply when leaving the Ghost Market. The Ghost Market is open once every two months, usually starting in the evening and ending at Chou time. Of course, it is still daytime now and you can go and wait, but you must remember, once you enter, you have to wait until the end before you can come out.

When would you like to go in?"

The boss explained it in great detail. The ghost market here is indeed somewhat different from the one in Central China, but the general pattern is the same.

Ming Huaixi decided to come back at night as her master was still waiting for her. She would come back after her master fell asleep. She had not been idle this year. She was about to break through to the middle stage of the secret manual of the Birth of All Things. She also had a lot of poisons on her, so she would have no problem protecting herself if anything happened.

"I'll come again in the evening, and I'll give you the antidote after I go in." Ming Huaixi tapped the boss a few times, and the boss was able to move, then turned and left.

The boss looked at Ming Huaixi's back and narrowed his eyes, "Here comes an interesting little guy, wow"

"Master, I'm back."

"Well, take a rest now that you're back. Is it fun outside?"

Suddenly, the medical fairy opened his eyes, came to Ming Huaixi, and reached out to pull a small insect off her body.

"You went to the ghost market? Did you see the demons?"

Ming Huaixi looked at the insect in front of her, gritted her teeth, and spoke silently. She told her master exactly what had happened today.

"That's it. I was just a little curious. What's so different about the ghost market here? I just happened to come across it. Could that Chi Xiao be the boss?"

"Did you really poison him?"

Rather than wondering whether his boss was a demon, the Medical Immortal was more curious about whether his own disciple had really poisoned the person.

"Oh no, I was just trying to scare him." Ming Huaixi still had some sense.

"Chixiao is the biggest leader of the Ghost Market in the northern border. His common method is to use this little bug to follow people. Since he is asking you for money, then there is nothing to worry about. If he helps you for free, then you will be in trouble."

The Medical Immortal is obviously very familiar with the methods of the Ghost Market and has a wide range of knowledge.

"Master, should I still go to the ghost market today?"

After this happened, Ming Huaixi was not sure whether he should go to the ghost market. It was also his own fault for not being careful. If he had known earlier, he would not have been so reckless.

The Medical Immortal chuckled, "Just go. He has taken the money, so why wouldn't he do the job? Don't worry, just have fun tonight."

“Yeah.” Since the master said it’s okay, then it must be okay.

It was almost midnight, and Ming Huaixi saw that his master's old friend had not arrived yet. Thinking that he might not be able to see him tonight, he went to the ghost market first. He would definitely meet his master's old friend more than once. Hehe, the ghost market is only open once in the past two months.

As soon as they arrived at the wine shop, the boss looked at Ming Huaixi and smiled, "You are here, come with me."

Ming Huaixi followed him to the entrance of the ghost market. The owner handed her a cloak and a mask and said, "Go in from here and keep walking forward. Don't look back. You won't be able to find the original way if you look back."

Obviously, there is something fishy about this entrance. Someone has added some Qimen Dunjia techniques to it, so the entrance and exit are not the same. The ghost market is really a big deal.

Ming Huaixi was about to enter the door when the boss's voice rang out, "Guest, where is the antidote you mentioned?"

Ming Huaixi: What a psycho! Didn’t this guy already know that it wasn’t a real poison?

Although he thought so, he still took out a medicine bottle from his arms and threw it to the boss, saying, "Okay, okay, I'll satisfy you, "Here's the antidote for you." Then he entered the entrance.

The boss looked at the bottle in his hand, poured out a bean, smelled it, and said, "Oh, a jelly bean." Then he put one in his mouth and slowly returned to the front hall of the wine shop.

"Long time no see." A voice sounded.

When the boss turned around, he saw the medical immortal sitting on a chair smelling a pot of wine.

"It is you, why are you here?"

The Medical Immortal said slowly, "Of course I came here for something."

"That tiger kid just now is your apprentice, right? He does things just like you did when you were young, threatening people as soon as you get up. This is a continuation of your tradition."

"Swoosh——" The medical immortal threw a small bottle at the boss.

"My apprentice, please help take care of it. This is for you."

The boss sniffed the medicine in the bottle and said, "This is a golden elixir that can increase your internal strength by ten years. It's a rare gift from the medical immortal. I like that tiger kid very much. From now on, she will be under my protection. Don't worry, no one in the ghost market will be able to bully her."

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. I'll take this pot of wine." The medical immortal held the wine in his hand and then disappeared in the wine shop.

The boss laughed and scolded, "You really don't want to take any loss. I couldn't bear to drink the wine, and you didn't leave any for me. You really haven't changed at all."

There is no limit to the things traded in the ghost market. As long as it can be traded, anything can be traded. People, objects, living things, and dead things are all trading items. As long as there are buyers, there will be people to trade.

Ming Huaixi wandered aimlessly in the ghost market. Everyone was wearing cloaks and masks and no one spoke. The sellers found a place and put their items on display. If the buyers saw something they liked, they would raise their hands and ask the price.

If the deal is done, the two beggars will pay for the goods; if the deal is not done, the buyers will disperse. The entire ghost market reveals a kind of order amidst the disorder.

The sellers were selling everything. Just now Ming Huaixi saw someone selling his own items. It was quite strange. Many people asked about the price, but none of them could agree on the price, so they just left.

Ming Huaixi was curious about what this man wanted to do, so he came up to him, raised his hand and asked the price.

The man raised two fingers to indicate.

Twenty thousand taels? No wonder no one could come to an agreement.

Ming Huaixi found the man quite interesting and nodded, indicating that it was okay. It just so happened that she really did need the 20,000 taels. Her master had given her some before, and she had not yet spent the 10,000 taels that Li Feiyan had given her. She wanted to see what was so special about this man.

He took out a stack of silver bills from his arms and handed it to the man. Unexpectedly, the man took out two thousand taels from the silver bills and returned the rest to Ming Huaixi.

Ming Huaixi: ??? So it was two thousand taels, then why didn’t anyone buy it?
