Chapter 572: Chapter 558: A Mixture of Fish and Dragon, Terrestrial Array Disk!_1

Xiao Chen had not expected that the Bronze Ancient Spoon he collected years ago would actually be the connecting medium for the End of the World Tower. Truly, in this vast world full of endless mysteries, especially over the Desolate Wilds, anything is possible.

In an instant, the End of the World, this Bronze Tower, truly lived up to its name. Moreover, no matter the strength of the owner, under the protection of the End of the World Tower, one could travel through the Void Turbulence without any harm.

The thrill in Xiao Chen’s heart of having such a treasure fall into his hands one day could be imagined.

According to the information from the End of the World Tower, there were hundreds of these Bronze Ancient Spoons. When the Xuan Kong Battle clan was annihilated, these spoons, which served as mediums, were scattered throughout the Great Wasteland. Next, all Xiao Chen had to do was collect these Bronze Ancient Spoons.

After a while, Xiao Chen curbed his elation and focused his attention on the hill-like pile of Spirit Rice on one side.

Excluding the five kinds of ordinary Spirit Rice, there were fourteen kinds of Human-Grade Spirit Rice, eleven kinds of Terrestrial Spirit Rice, and one kind of Heaven-Grade Spirit Rice, but the quantity of each was not too much.

Of course, there are more types of Spirit Rice than these, but this is all that the Spirit Rice Pavilion in the Border Wilderness Domain had, all of which were purchased by Xiao Chen without hesitation.

In particular, the Heaven-Grade Spirit Rice, Green Jade Bodhi Rice, each grain the size of an adult’s fist, radiating a gentle glow. Inside the rice, there was even an illusory shadow of a Bodhi disappearing and reappearing, emitting a mysterious aura. The function of this Green Jade Bodhi Rice is to assist the venerable masters in calming their minds and comprehending the combat essence.

The saying goes, "If the heart is like the Bodhi, the spirit is calm and unafraid of the falling sky, as stable as a rock."

It is said that this Green Jade Bodhi Rice, born tens of thousands of years ago, was cultivated by a top Spirit Plant Master. It gathers a kind of Green Jade Ice Heart Rice with the Bodhi Treasure Tree, using the essence of the Bodhi Treasure Tree as the nutrients for the Spirit Rice. It took root in it, and with various unique methods, the mysterious characteristics of the Bodhi Treasure Tree eventually merged with the Spirit Rice. After generations of cultivation, it finally transformed into the Green Jade Bodhi Rice.

Such cultivation and evolution require a strong tribal heritage to combine with a warrior’s cultivation and cultivate the corresponding Spirit Rice. The Gu Yuan Tribe is just starting out and can only stick to the systematic planting process, and there is no dedicated Spirit Plant Master within the clan.

By a small lake, he picked a flat area where Xiao Chen planted ten grains of Green Jade Bodhi Rice. Immediately, abundant vitality in the soil surged toward the rice seeds, continually replenishing the vitality that had been lost originally due to the removal of the hull.

Sensing the increasingly vigorous vitality emanating from the Spirit Rice, Xiao Chen also breathed a sigh of relief. This way, the Spirit Rice truly took root in the Mountain and River Seal Space.

After a some effort in planting all the Spirit Rice in the Cave Heaven Space, Xiao Chen reappeared on the Stone bed in his dwelling.

The Ghost Market in the West City District of Border Wasteland City does not have a set opening time. It may not happen for a decade, but it can also take place twice or thrice in three to five months.

The items that appear inside are a mixed bag, emphasizing the principle of "buy and never regret", with a clear transaction. Even if you later discover that you have spent a hundred thousand Spirit Stones to buy a piece of broken stone, you have to accept the bitter consequences. Over time, there were always those who made trouble, but now all of them have turned into dry bones outside the Border Wasteland City.

Perhaps because of the forthcoming Ghost Market trading conference, there is a surge of people in Border Wasteland City, not only freelance warriors but also people from many clans who have come here. There is a strong and rugged atmosphere in the air.

Xiao Chen appeared in a Food Pavilion near the West City District. Warriors from all walks of life gathered here, mingled together, drinking and chatting, waiting for the opening of the Ghost Market.

That’s right, the Ghost Market only opens at night. At that time, it doesn’t distinguish between humans and ghosts, and trading is reliant on one’s judgement.

Compared to Xiao Chen’s first time coming to Border Wasteland City five years ago to participate in the Void Trading Conference, the threshold for entry into the Ghost Market is significantly lower. All kinds of people can participate, even Bone-Tempering Realm warriors can enter the Ghost Market, and any hidden Spirit treasures can be sold.

A girl clad in a beast skin skirt, with long **** that are crystal-clear and exquisitely fair, stood in front of Xiao Chen. A smile lingered at the corner of her mouth. Although she is not the most beautiful, she still brought a pleasant feeling that came from the heart.

"Sir, the Ten Thousand Beasts Food Pavilion has various beast and spirit medicine-filled soups that are full of vitality and easy for the human body to absorb. Furthermore, our shop accepts equivalent exchanges."

The girl smiled gently, proffering a not-so-large beast skin scroll to Xiao Chen. It recorded some of the medicinal soups in the Food Pavilion, from a common one-star Wild Boar to a three-star Blood Flower Deer medicinal soup. There were hundreds of medicinal meals cooked from various beasts. Of course, the price increased progressively, from a few low-grade Spirit Stones to a maximum of ten high-grade Spirit Stones. Besides, if a warrior doesn’t have enough Spirit Stones, they can also use Martial Arts Great Pills, Spirit Mine casting materials, Spirit Fruits, or even their weapons as collateral.

Without much selection, Xiao Chen chose a jug of century-old Clear Water Sweet Spring, a medicinal meal made of Eight Treasures Blood Ginseng Chicken, and a portion of Three-Star Blood Flower Deer meat. Just these three items consumed a hundred mid-grade Spirit Stones.

Soon, Xiao Chen’s medicinal meal was served. Crystal clear and sticky medicinal soup, golden crispy venison that exuded a rich aroma. One could sense the medication’s potency lingering in. A pot of clear spring water, icy and translucent, also flamboyant with a medicinal fragrance.

In the Food Pavilion, numerous warriors chatted ceaselessly, Xiao Chen heard snippets of conversations consistently hovering around the Ghost Market.

"Tonight, during the evening guard watch, the Ghost Market will open, lasting until the early morning of the second day. The entire West City District within a hundred-mile radius will serve as the Ghost Market. Anyone who wants to set up a stall in the Ghost Market needs to pay ten middle-grade primal stones. Moreover, the Master of the Rangers in West City, the Ghost-slaying Honorable, has already made it clear that the old rules still apply, no one is allowed to fight in the Ghost Market. Violators will be killed without pardon!"

"Who knows how many treasures will appear at the Ghost Market this time. I recall the last Ghost Market being held ten years ago; during these ten years, countless warriors have discovered numerous treasures from dangerous lands and secret realms."

"Not only the treasures buried for long centuries, do you guys still recall the major incident that shook the Entire Border Wilderness Domain ten years ago?"

A warrior whispered mysteriously.

"An incident that shook the Border Wilderness Region ten years ago!"

"You mean the top-tier Zilun Combat Department incident?"

Hearing the warriors around him talk about it piqued Xiao Chen’s interest. There was indeed a significant incident a decade ago in the Border Wilderness Region, the top-level Zilun Combat Department.

An elder, for unknown reasons, suddenly stole the Zilun Combat Department’s clan treasure, the Purple Blood God Soul Amulet, betrayed the Zilun Combat Department, and seriously injured two elders, while causing the death to one.

Later on, the chief of the Zilun Combat Department made a move personally, crossing the vast Desolate Wilds, and killed the traitorous elder deep in the Great Wasteland. But the whereabouts of the clan’s treasure Purple Blood God Soul Amulet remains unknown.

The Purple Blood God Soul Amulet is a special soul defense spiritual implement that is said to contain a soul defense formation method. It can prevent others from peeking at the soul, and it can also devour the mental will of the one spying, to feed back to the host.

"No wonder a few days ago, people saw Lord Zifeng, the patriarch of the Zilun Combat Department, personally arriving at the Border Wasteland City. It seems he wants to reclaim the clan’s treasure."

"That’s just one part," the mysterious warrior paused, then said, "Do you still remember a year ago, a ranger was luckily awarded a platter of the Terrestrial Offensive Formation from the secret realm within the Xuan Kong Marquis Department?"

"The formation platter that was obtained by the ranger will appear in the Ghost Market this time. This is the formation method refined by the Xuan Kong Marquis Department. One can imagine its power. Even a Heavy Tower Realm Martial Artist that steps into it is in danger of falling."

"So what? The Xuan Kong Marquis Department can be considered the peak of the Formation Way in our Border Wilderness Region throughout history. Even though it has been extinct for tens of thousands of years, we, the younger generation of formation masters, still can’t surpass the Xuan Kong Marquis Department in the Formation Way."

"Exactly, a territorial formation is not something to underestimate. Ten thousand years ago, the ten formation experts of the Xuan Kong Marquis Department joined forces and laid out ten terrestrial formations, killing the formidable Towering Realm Ninth Heaven from the alien race. This level of power is something we younger generations can never reach."

"Moreover, even if there is a territorial formation platter, without a formation master, who can replicate the glory of ten thousand years ago? Not to mention, the spirit materials required by the territorial formations, even top-tier combat departments, do not have the assurance to collect them entirely."

"What if the Terrestrial Formation has the presence of an array disk?"

What!

"Could it be that the Terrestrial Formation was imprinted on an array disk by a formation master?"

Hearing this, many warriors couldn’t help but gasp. If the Terrestrial Formation has indeed been imprinted on an array disk, then there is no need to worry about the consumption of lots of Formation Way spirit materials; there’s no large need for formation masters, ordinary warriors can set it up easily. This is the method evolved from Formation Masters.

Xiao Chen drank the spring water, his pupils flashed a hint of interest - he didn’t expect to hear about the existence of an array disk again, a Terrestrial level formation at that.

Five years ago, he traded a Tian Tier top quality Spirit Gathering Array at the Void Trading Conference. This auxiliary array attracted dozens of times the normal Heaven and Earth’s Vital Energy, forming a mini Cave Heaven Blessed Land within his tribe. Over the past five years, numerous tribe warriors have entered into the formation. Its contribution to the development of the Gu Yuan Tribe can’t be overstated.

With the existence of an array disk, the most challenging step of a Terrestrial Level formation has been completed. The warriors who get the formations only need to encrust primal stones into the disk and invoke its mysteries. The formation will naturally commence.
