Chapter 573: Chapter 559: Six Treasures Enter the Ghost Market!_1

What interested Xiao Chen the most was this Terrestrial Offensive Array, which could make even a Zhong Lou Realm Martial Artist cower, and would be suitable as a defensive array for his tribe, safeguarding the safety of his tribe.

Although the Gu Yuan Tribe can compare to the upper-tier Battle Division in terms of peak force, overall, the tribe has yet to experience the long years of accumulation during the tribe’s promotion process, lacking in maturity.

All this while, one might say that the tribe has been developing in a counter-productive manner. The growth of a tribe requires craftsmen, formation masters, alchemists, spirit plant masters, and various other supportive positions. Different craftsmen can better structure the development of a tribe. These are aspects that the Gu Yuan Tribe needs to gradually make up for.

These are not things that can be done overnight. Although the peak powers of the Gu Yuan Tribe have met the requirements for advancement to the upper-tier battle division, the whole tribe still does not have the solid foundation that an upper-tier battle division should possess. Even among middle-tier battle divisions, they barely occupy a middle-rank position.

This is why Xiao Chen has not encouraged the tribe to be promoted to the upper-tier Battle Division.

Even at the time of the tribe’s promotion, the whole tribe, relying on his powerful strength, managed to suppress any internal strife.

With a Terrestrial Offensive Array, the Mountain City of the Gu Yuan Tribe could transform into a solid fortress. So even if the tribe’s powerful warriors are not in the tribe for a while, the tribe’s Mountain City would not be disturbed by external forces in a short period.

In a short moment, Xiao Chen had made up his mind. If there really was a Terrestrial Array Disk in the Ghost Market, he would get it at all costs. This would guarantee a future where the Gu Yuan Tribe would never be defeated.

In the face of the awe of many warriors, the warrior who initiated the surprise of the crowd closed his mouth and didn’t say anything more, much to the dissatisfaction of the many interested warriors.

"Sir, I’ll pay for this gentleman’s medicinal food and wine, is that satisfactory to you?"

Finally, there was a warrior who spoke up to pay for the Blood Food consumed by the warrior. The variety of medicinal dishes on his table, although not top-grade, was worth dozens of medium grade Elemental Stones.

"Everyone," the warrior who revealed the tidbits finally spoke, "This poor man only seeks to make a living."

As he finished speaking, a stack of Beast Skin Scrolls suddenly appeared in his hands.

"For your generosity, this Beast Skin Scroll contains information that I have gathered based on rumors and news about the Great Wasteland. It lists the possible treasures that will appear in this Ghost Market. Although I can’t guarantee absolute accuracy, it should contain about eighty percent of them. It would definitely be of great help to you who intend to enter the Ghost Market."

This man is a broker!

"For your kindness, ten medium-grade Elemental Stones!"

Eventually, Xiao Chen also paid ten medium Element Stones and obtained a Beast Skin Scroll.

The Beast Skin Scroll was filled with tiny characters, summarizing the possible items that might appear in the Ghost Market. And each item had a note below it, indicating its origin, but it didn’t show who currently possessed it.

The Beast Skin Scroll listed the upper-grade Purple Blood God Soul Amulet and Terrestrial Offensive Array of Zilun Combat Department, as well as the Terrestrial Offensive Array where Xiao Chen showed a keen interest.

Ten Thousand Calamities Devil-slaying Thunder Array!

A middle-grade Terrestrial Array, once activated, a Lei Long appears vanishing demons in the array. This is notably a Terrestrial Array with a thunder attribute. As thunder is known for its destructive power, one can imagine the might of this large formation.

The origin of this large formation was also described on the Beast Skin Scroll. Ten thousand years ago, it was the protective formation of the Xuan Kong Marquis Department, known as the Obliterating Thunder Demolishing Demon Formation, which was listed among the superior-grade Terrestrial Arrays. Even a venerable expert of the Stage Eight Realm had to concede to its might.

Later, the Array Disciple Old Man, a grand elder of the Xuankong Battle Clan, derived an easy-to-set-up Terrestrial Array based on this tribe’s protective formation. This was the Ten Thousand Calamities Devil-slaying Thunder Array.

Once the formation was activated, a Ling Lei would be formed in the formation. It was said that at the climax of Ling Lei’s evolution, a Lei Long could even be formed to control the formation. With a single thought, the Lei Long could precipitate innumerable lightning calamities and pulverize any martial artist within the array. In front of the Lei Long, those who opposed it were considered devils and ought to be exterminated.

On the whole Beast Skin Scroll, six notable treasures were marked, including the Terrestrial Array Disk and the Purple Blood God Soul Amulet. The four other treasures were the medium-grade Spirit Weapon Bow of the Fallen Moon, the three-color Sky Mending Fruit, egg of the three-headed Silver Winged Bird with four-star rating, and suspected Wind Thunder Bone of a five-star Wind Thunder Jiao Long.

These six items alone left him speechless. If they were to consider the quality of the treasures, they would not be inferior to the trade at the Void Exchange five years ago, but these items were not dignified enough to be traded openly.

The Five-Star Wind Thunder Jiao Long inherently resonates with both wind and thunder. It is a naturally violent Five-Star Beast that can reach a Five-Star realm when fully grown, equivalent to a Ninth-tier Towering Realm, nearing the level of a Monarch Expert. If its bloodline is purified to a certain extent, it might even regress into its ancestral bloodline and transform into the Wind Thunder Jiao Long King.

The Wind Thunder Bones of the Wind Thunder Jiao Long serve a remarkable role in helping humans understand the attributes of wind and thunder. If the degree of bloodline compatibility of a warrior is high, they might even be able to refine this Wind Thunder Bone into the body and transform it into Wind Thunder Wings.

The Border Wasteland Region is home to a formidable ranger known as the Wind Thunder Venerable.

A hundred years ago, in the depths of the Great Wasteland, the Wind Thunder Venerable killed a Four-Star Wind Thunder Jiao Long. However, he was severely injured and was taken advantage of by others, causing the Wind Thunder Jiao Long’s corpse to be taken away.

Throughout these hundred years, the Wind Thunder Venerable has been searching every corner of the Border Wasteland Region trying to track down the culprit. If anyone dares to touch these Wind Thunder Bones, they should first weigh whether they can withstand the wrath of an Exalted One.

Years ago, the Superior-tier Maple Battle Unit of the Border Wasteland Region lost a Four-Star Silver Bird Monster Egg.

As for the Three-Colored Sky Mending Fruit, a few days ago, the deputy steward of transporting treasures in the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion in the East City District of the Border Wasteland City was found dead two thousand miles outside the Border Wasteland City, his storage space was looted. One of the treasures was the Three-Colored Sky Mending Fruit. Behind the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion is the Superior-tier Heavenly Treasure Battle Unit, ranking fifth among the Superior-tier Battle Units of the Border Wasteland Region.

Mid-tier Spirit Weapon Bow of Fallen Moon: Despite being less remarkable among these treasures, the previous owner of Bow of Fallen Moon was the young master of the Thorn Castle, a ranger force. Six months ago, the young master’s corpse was found outside the Thorn Castle and has already been devoured by beasts, leaving it unrecognizable.

Xiao Chen couldn’t help feeling wistful as he looked over the six treasures. The Ghost Market was like a large gathering for the sale of stolen goods. And these were just the high-value items he had chosen. The entire Ghost Market covered an area of a hundred miles, and who knows how many shady items have been exposed.

However, the price paid for these ten mid-tier Elemental Stones suggests that the warrior selling the Beast Skin Scroll is not a common figure, and most likely one of the warriors from the Ghost Market itself.

Now there was still plenty of time before midnight. Xiao Chen was carefully chewing the golden roasted venison. The rich blood qi was baked using a special process which prevented the blood qi from dissipating, melting in the mouth and turning into dense blood qi to be absorbed by the body.

However, for the current realm of Xiao Chen, it didn’t carry much weight. It could only satisfy his taste.

He constantly pondered in his heart how to secure that Terrestrial Attack Array Disk. When he left the Gu Yuan Tribe this time, he brought hundreds of thousands of mid-tier Elemental Stones and four million lower-tier Elemental Stones. It seemed like a lot, but when he arrived in the Border Wasteland City, he realized that these Elemental Stones didn’t count for much.

The heritage accumulated by the tribes that have existed for thousands, even tens of thousands of years is simply immeasurable. Just the Spirit Rice he bought cost him more than half of his Elemental Stones. The remaining Elemental Stones don’t seem enough to make any significant gains in the Ghost Market.

Fortunately, he has the Mountain River Seal World, a divine object, with Spirit Medicines scattered all over it. A single ordinary Tier-three Spirit Medicine is worth a hundred upper-tier Elemental Stones. He was constantly weighing whether to sell some Spirit Medicines in exchange for some upper-tier Elemental Stones. After all, the Elemental Stone Cannon on the Void Battleship required upper-tier Elemental Stones as an energy reserve.

It was not until moonfall that some warriors started to leave one after another, heading towards the West City District. Xiao Chen then also put down sufficient mid-tier Elemental Stones, got up, and walked out of the Food Pavilion.

At this moment, the Border Wasteland City was bustling with vitality and showed no signs of slowing down with the arrival of night, with a constant flow of people in the streets.

Under the night, the entire ancient city seemed to be rejuvenated. Xiao Chen, blending into the crowd like an ordinary warrior, felt the varying power levels of many surrounding warriors. Some of the warriors passing by were even at the Heavy Tower Realm Martial level.

Soon, Xiao Chen followed the crowd to the entrance of a street in the West City, where a team of City Guardian Warriors was guarding. It was the Western City District Guard.

"Entry to the Ghost Market costs ten mid-tier Elemental Stones."

Hearing the voice, Xiao Chen observed that this was one of the entrances to the Ghost Market, the entire West City District had been cordoned off, leaving only a few entrances. Once the Elemental Stones were paid, one could enter the Ghost Market.

Each warrior who entered the Ghost Market had to pay ten mid-tier Elemental Stones. This was a very quick way for the capital to accumulate wealth. But it also required a strong force to suppress everything. Otherwise, it would draw the scrutiny of all parties.

Handing over ten mid-tier Elemental Stones, Xiao Chen’s hand was holding a black hat and cloak. The cloak was large enough to cover the whole body, and the hat had a lower guard to cover the face.

Feeling the cloak, a hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Chen’s eyes. This hat and cloak were woven from Soul-locking Grass, which has the effect of isolating a warrior’s perception.

Although he himself has the spiritual will of an Exalted One, he just tried it and found that this cloak cannot isolate his spiritual will. However, looking at the bigger picture, how many Exalted Ones can there be throughout the Ghost Market?

With one step, Xiao Chen entered the Ghost Market, his body draped in a black cloak, blending into the crowd. Even the people around him didn’t notice when an extra person had joined
