Chapter 325: Chapter 145: The Order of Ghost Market, Twenty-four Generals; Kicking the Gate, the Strongest Physique

The poison blood inside this porcelain bottle was indeed the key culprit tormenting Li Guanyi for ten long years; the sharp pain in his heart would often flare up, causing him almost to faint from the agony lasting an hour or two. When he finally recovered, his whole body would sweat profusely like pulp, nearly leading to his demise.

This was the situation even after Li Guanyi’s mother had transferred the Green Bird Dharma Form to him.

Had it not been for the protection from his mother, Li Guanyi would have died directly from the pain.

Upon hearing the elder say it was an object of the royal family of Ying Country, a surge of emotions welled up in the depths of Li Guanyi’s eyes, but then he regained his composure.

Indeed...

That’s what he was thinking in his heart.

Guan Shier stood at the entrance of the Ghost Market Gate, looking at this porcelain bottle. He took out a silver needle, dipped it in the poison blood, then casually touched it to a mechanism. Li Guanyi watched the white jade on that mechanism visibly change color, swiftly turning purple, then the concentrated areas turned black.

Thus, Guan Shier’s expression solidified, and he said to Li Guanyi,

"You!!!"

The Mo School elder’s complexion changed several times, and finally, looking at the youth, he said,

"This is of a level that only the Emperor can order to be utilized."

"Legend has it, it comes from the most poisonous substance, obtained eight hundred years ago when the Red Emperor ordered the Divine Generals to surround and kill an Ancient Strange Beast, Fei, a leftover exotic beast from the Ancient Mythical Era."

"It resembled an ox with a white head, had one eye, and a snake tail, and was called Fei. Where it moved over water, it drained it dry, where it moved over grass, it died; its mere sight caused great epidemics in the world."

"The Red Emperor led the Divine Generals in a personal campaign to slaughter this exotic beast that troubled the ancient times."

"When that mountain-like exotic beast fell, an area of five hundred li around it turned into a source of poison, which eventually dispersed after eight hundred days. What remained was a large swelling under its horn, containing blood clear as jade and extremely poisonous. This was taken by the ancestors of Ying Country."

"They ascended to power in the world, surviving several dangers thanks to the blood from Fei’s third eye."

"Extremely precious, only used when the Emperor deems it absolutely necessary, and the current Emperor of Ying, renowned for his benevolence and firm resolve, agreed that he wouldn’t allow more than three people to be killed by this method..."

Guan Shier spoke with deliberate pauses, "This thing, don’t show it to others again."

"Otherwise, it will bring trouble!"

Li Guanyi said, "It’s because it’s the Mo School elder, that I dared to bring it out."

Therefore, Guan Shier had nothing else to say; the Mo School knights were renowned throughout the Martial World as the most trustworthy martial artist group, the first giant being one of the Six Palace Masters, assuring the safety of the Mo School’s actions.

Guan Shier tossed the porcelain bottle back to Li Guanyi, then handed over a wooden box.

"Keep it inside here; it can mask the scent, making it a bit safer."

Li Guanyi thanked him and tucked away the box. The Mo School elder, silent for a long while, looked at Li Guanyi and sighed deeply, saying,

"The Emperor of Chen Country, the Emperor of Ying Country, the princes of Ying, and the Martial World. Fei blood, assassinations... A person like you entering the Martial World will not lead a peaceful life. Your father is too well-known, his ambitions too great, offending too many."

"Enemies everywhere, my boy, your fate is not good."

Li Guanyi attached the box to his waist and patted the sword at his side, replying with a carefree smile, "I’ve lived to this age with all limbs intact, not blind or deaf, and although poor, I’m not yet dead, and I even possess martial arts skills."

"I have friends, I have teachers."

"Friends from the Four Seas, sir, my fate is very good!"

Guan Shier said nothing further, only offering a smile before going to bid farewell to the Marquis Bu Ye of the Ghost Market, and then telling Li Guanyi, "Your personality suits being a Mo Zhe very well. The world is so vast, I await the day your fame spreads far and wide."

"Farewell."

The Mo Zhe merely waved his hand at Li Guanyi, then shouldered his own box and departed with an untroubled ease, without saying anything else. Li Guanyi’s smile faded, and he pressed his hand to his sword as he also went to pay his respects to the Marquis Bu Ye of the Ghost Market.

The Marquis Bu Ye sat in his chair, his demeanor gentle and composed, but Li Guanyi did not know if this was his true appearance. The Marquis smiled and said, "The hospitality of the Netherworld Ghost Market—has it satisfied the guest?"

Able to find the Mo School elder, who was most likely able to cure the musician, in such a short time.

The power of the Netherworld Ghost Market indeed ranked top in the Martial World.

Li Guanyi nodded and thanked him.

The Marquis Bu Ye said, "If the guest is satisfied, it’s time for us to settle the accounts, as the dealings of the Ghost Market are all about clear pricing. Bring it here for the guest," he clapped his hands, and already someone wearing a mask from the Ghost Market was bringing over a box.

The Marquis motioned for Li Guanyi to open it.

When Li Guanyi opened the box, he found inside a token.

It was made of wood, with a smooth, warm touch.

This was the Honored Guest Token of the Netherworld Ghost Market.

Although it was just the lowest-level Wood Token, it couldn’t compare to Mr. Siming.

But it still denoted a valued guest.

Able to receive various types of help within the Netherworld Ghost Market, having the opportunity to purchase various precious materials, and even participate in certain secret assemblies, passing on intelligence information.

Li Guanyi looked at the Marquis Bu Ye, who was holding his tea, speaking slowly and gently,

"I almost forgot."

"The guest previously completed a commission for my Netherworld Ghost Market."

"Around the Netherworld Ghost Market, there are many black market traders who, knowing of our existence, want to attach themselves to the Ghost Market’s fame yet do not have the honored guest waist card. So they’ve settled near my Netherworld Ghost Market, trading goods. My Ghost Market has been looking to get rid of them, but there hasn’t been a good opportunity."

"After posting a bounty, the guest completed it, sweeping them clean."
