Chapter 445: Chapter 404: First Encounter in Market Square: Ghost Market!_2

Wang Zijia wore a puzzled expression, unable to understand the meaning of those words.

"If there’s nothing else, you should leave!" Xu Yuyu did not provide an explanation but began to show him the door, presumably because Wang Zijia would understand once he left.

After bowing again to him, Wang Zijia quietly exited the lake pavilion.

He left the lakeside and walked to the outer courtyard.

"Dong Dong..."

With the faint notes of a zither drifting over, Wang Zijia paused and turned his head to look back for a moment.

I take back my previous statement, the Wanyu Sect is quite powerful after all. It’s just that I haven’t encountered the right circuit yet!

After leaving the courtyard, Wang Zijia, sticking to his rule of trying a few shots with or without jujubes, ran back to the few peaks in the inner sect and met every big shot, or senior brother and senior sister that he could. He expressed his desire to purchase spiritual objects.

Only after ensuring that his request to examine infant god spiritual objects, regardless of polluted or intact, had spread within a certain circuit, did he set off back home.

By the time he returned to the White Peach Courtyard, it was already evening.

Hurriedly explaining that he wouldn’t be eating dinner, he entered the training room and carefully took out the card Xu Yuyu had given him.

To Wang Zijia’s surprise, the card wasn’t a talisman or an array tool, but just a piece of card that, astonishingly, was a specially made top-grade magic tool!

"This aura...why does it feel like the distant communication technique of the Flying Immortal Sect?"

Sensing the magic tool briefly, Wang Zijia was surprised for a moment.

The Three Sects each had their own strengths. The Daqian Dynasty ruled the world while the Wanyu Sect encompassed myriad ways.

The Flying Immortal Sect, however, had completely abandoned tradition, united myriad ways under one sect, and entered the era of sect alliances.

While they had spread far and wide, they no longer had a clear superior or inferior relationship.

For that reason, to avoid major rifts among the various sects, regular contact was necessary.

Therefore, the communication techniques of the Flying Immortal sect were the best among the Three Sects, One of the nine techniques that formed the foundation of the false foundation talisman summoning in Wang Zijia’s second red copper weight was a communication technique secretly transmitted by the Flying Immortal sect.

So he was rather familiar with it.

Within this top-grade magical artifact, Wang Zijia could clearly perceive the power of this faction.

His eyes flickered with spiritual light, and a strong detection wave swept over it.

Magic Tool: Netherworld Ghost Market Order (Sub-order)

Grade: Top-Grade Magic Tool (Second Grade)

Type: Command Token

Function: Can pull the mind to enter a special space from a long distance.

Note: Low-level communication tool, can break free at any time.

"Ghost Market?" Wang Zijia immediately thought of the Immortal God Illusion in the sect, "The high-end market mentioned in the legends?"

After carefully checking the order symbol and confirming that there were no problems, Wang Zijia blessed himself with several layers of life-saving techniques before cautiously activating the order.

The familiar fluctuations of mind power, Wang Zijia unexpectedly arrived in a room that appeared to be a hidden compartment.

About a square meter in size, it was like a dark dressing room.

At this moment, his spiritual consciousness was actually attached to a puppet!

Although the puppet was of low rank, it could nonetheless traverse unknown distances under Wang Zijia’s command.

What fundamentally differed from the arrival of Wang Zijia’s consciousness in his clone was that he was currently controlling this puppet remotely using the Command Token communication technique.

With curiosity and confusion, Wang Zijia controlled the puppet, reached out his hand to open the door, and walked out.

Although it was actually dusk, the place appeared as if it were in the middle of the night, with the pitch-black streets only faintly lit.

On an ancient street, many people were hawking goods.

Miraculously, the shops around seemed to be just facades. No, inside all the stores were these ’login’ dressing rooms!

There were no shops selling goods; everyone was hawking their wares on the street.

Many puppets were wandering around, and occasionally, there were monks with profound mana walking among them.

’Ah, I see. Using communication and puppets to ensure that no matter where people are, they can come here?’

’Like Xianxia, real online shops?’

’Interesting market!’

’But if I really like something, how will the logistics be solved? How will goods be retrieved?’

At that moment, Wang Zijia immediately thought of Xu Yuyu’s parting words: ’If you see something you want to buy, come to me first.’

’So the basic condition to come to this market without a physical body is the ability to transfer goods over long distances?’

’If that’s how it is, this Ghost Market is probably teeming with big shots!’

’The top trading circle of the Flying Fairy Sect Alliance?’

’Given their diverse alliance nature, it’s highly plausible!’

Whilst immersed in his thoughts, Wang Zijia felt quite excited experiencing his first legitimate contact with senior members of the foreign sect.

Because he was remotely controlling the puppet through communication, even mind communication made Wang Zijia feel very awkward, like experiencing VR for the first time.

After familiarizing himself with the new environment for a while, Wang Zijia then stepped out of the ’online’ area and entered the legitimate Ghost Market.

As he learned more, Wang Zijia realized that this was a real Market Square, a traditional black market inherited from ancient times!

Furthermore, the items displayed on each stall around him made Wang Zijia inwardly shocked.

He didn’t examine them closely, just a quick scan, and found that the items started at the third-grade minimum, fourth grade wasn’t rare, he even saw fifth-grade items!!!

Moreover, Wang Zijia discovered that the command tokens and puppets seemed to be a set, the lowest level being the one he had, and there were even third-class spiritual device level ones!

Not all stalls were manned. Some even used a spirit-wisdom puppet to help with automated sales.

He was wrong, this was an online store coated in a Market Square’s skin, a Xianxia version!

For now, it seemed to be the type that didn’t include delivery!

Compared to the Immortal God Illusion of the sect, apart from everything here being physical, the main difference was...

The Immortal God illusion was the local area network of the sect, no sect prohibited items could appear inside.

However, this Ghost Market, it was the ’global’ dark web covering the Spirit Suppressing Realm!!!

Inside, not only were there people from the Three Sects, but there were also members of the Devil Gate mixing in!

This was basically a smuggling black market, not a private trading circle as Xu Yuyu described!

But what she said about living on the edge wasn’t false, anybody who could mix in here wasn’t simple.

Xu Yuyu looked pretty cold, seemed like she was also likely a dark-hearted person!

Because this was his first visit, even just exploring with his puppet couldn’t temper the cautiousness due to the high-end circle, Wang Zijia didn’t immediately buy anything, only briefly wandered around the Market Square.

The whole Market Square was only made up of two cross-shaped streets.

Around it were many buildings, all were set designs used for storing login puppets.

All the sellers were given the same treatment: set up a stall on the street.

Only at the center was there a store.

It should be a store selling puppets, command tokens, and related items; Wang Zijia only glanced at it from a distance, and didn’t go in.

The big shot who set up this Market Square is truly an imaginative person!

After Wang Zijia had a general understanding of this place, the first thing he thought about was not familiarizing himself or scavenging, but how to set the anchor here.

Because for now, he was only controlling through communication, his mind was not actually here.

Without anchor points, he was incapable of traveling thousands of miles with his mind.

After familiarizing himself for a while, Wang Zijia withdrew upon finally understanding the basics.

Once he disconnected from the communication, Wang Zijia looked at the command token in his hand.

"An Xianxia-themed physical online store, huh? Seems like there are also plenty of creative big shots in the Cultivation World!"

For caution’s sake, Wang Zijia put a seal on the magic tool’s command token before putting it away.

After checking the time, it was still early.

The book flew out and he dived back into the Hundred Demon Bewitching Domain to continue refining the Flesh Field Space.

"Value +880,000!"

Item: False Dao True Zhuge Scripture

Belongs to: Inheritage Netherworld Device

Level: Third-class Spiritual Device (Top Grade 76,080,000 /100,000,000)

········

After refining for half of the night, nearly half the Flesh Field Space of the Hundred Demon Bewitching Domain was refined, and the total refining progress of the Bewitching Domain was near one third.

At midnight, he returned to his room to sleep.

In these few days, Xiang Feifei had been avoiding him, probably because she had just completed her promotion.

She was secretly hiding her cultivation, fearing her cultivation would be exposed during intimate contact with him.
