Chapter 574: Chapter 560 Xuanling Mountain Range Spirit Crystal News!_1

Within the Ghost Market, it was not entirely drowned in darkness. On both sides of the street, in the stone towers, there were translucent crystals embedded that emitted a faint white light, gentle, and delicate, allowing warriors to clearly see the items in front of them.

The Ghost Market was vast and seemed rather serene. Everyone wore the same black cloak, making every warrior look almost identical from the outside, hard to distinguish. This was also a measure deliberately planned by the Ghost Market.

On the stalls on both sides of the street, buyers and sellers were whispering softly, creating an atmosphere of quietness.

Xiao Chen did not stop, and proceeded forward into the street. He noticed that there was a grading system in the Ghost Market. On the outer periphery, there were just regular items being traded among ordinary warriors, as one moved deeper into the market, the grade of the items would get higher, with more exotic treasures becoming available.

A large number of warriors from different parts of the Border Wasteland Region had gathered, continually searching for their needed items in the Ghost Market. However, this also required discerning eyes. Some ancient items which emitted an air of vicissitudes might just be a pile of waste stones. But of course, amid these chaotic items, there might actually be high-grade treasures present.

"What’s this?"

On a stall in front of him, a faint crystalline glow flickered. Upon closer examination, he realized it was a skeleton, a skeleton of a Towering Realm martial artist. The entire skeleton shimmered with a pale golden radiance. A soft tap would resonate with a sound resembling metal and stone striking each other, indicating the robustness of the bone.

It would come as no surprise if anything appeared in the Ghost Market – be it casting materials, treasure medicines, spirit fruits, flesh, blood, skin, fur, spirit weapons, battle armor – they were all quite common.

Just as with the skeleton of a wild beast, a Towering Realm warrior’s skeleton was equivalent to a three-star realm beast. Furthermore, after a warrior has survived a heavenly tribulation, their corporeal bodies and bones would be refined and could also be considered a type of casting material.

As to where this Towering Realm warrior’s skeleton came from, one need not delve into it!

Xiao Chen wandered around aimlessly. He had three purposes for this trip: the Bronze Ancient Spoon required by the End of the World Tower, top-grade spirit stones or spirit crystals, and a Terrestrial Tier mid-level array disk. As for the rest, it would depend on what he might chance upon.

The Ghost Market had just begun. The Terrestrial Tier array disk had not appeared yet. Not only that, even the six major treasures had not been spotted yet. Xiao Chen wasn’t in a rush. If those treasures truly appeared, they would certainly draw a crowd of warriors. He would find out when that happened.

While pressing forward, he kept an eye on the stalls to see if there were any items he needed. Suddenly, an item caught his attention.

You must know that the Ghost Market had just barely started, yet a crowd had already gathered around the stall in front of him. They pointed and gestured curiously, their discussions continuous.

Xiao Chen observed with curiosity sparking in his eyes, and then made his way forward, approaching the stall and inspectively scanning through the items.

He only saw that behind the stall, a cloaked warrior was sitting cross-legged on an ancient stone. Their gender was indistinguishable. In front of them lay a pile of rough stones.

The stones were mottled and broken, large and small, of different shapes and scarred. Some were discolored and some were weathered, looking just like ordinary stones randomly picked up from the Great Wasteland.

However, from these stones, he could sense a faint trace of primal energy.

Gamble for primal stones!

The bunch of stones in front of him were indeed raw primal energy stones extracted from the primal stone mine. The price of every raw primal energy stone, regardless of size, was a medium-grade spirit stone.

After trading, whether a warrior could extract top-grade primal energy from the raw primal stones or leave empty-handed depended entirely on luck.

"Alas, nothing at all, are all of these waste stones? Are there no primal stones inside? We have selected more than ten raw primal energy stones, and not even one low-grade primal stone was yielded."

"These stones are weathered and fragile, even with large and small wind holes, the cracks are ugly and mottled; they obviously have been exposed to the Earth for an unknown period of time, just ordinary stones."

"Primal stones, primal stones!"

At that moment, a warrior nearby exclaimed excitedly. In his hand, the melon-sized raw primal stone had been cracked open, revealing a fist-sized medium-grade primal stone in the middle. Such a primal stone could be divided into five ordinary medium-grade spirit stones, and he only spent one medium-grade spirit stone to purchase it.

"One cut to heaven, one cut to hell, gambling for primal stones depends on everyone’s eyesight and luck."

At this point, the stallholder’s voice rang out, sounding a bit hoarse, like that of an elderly man. Xiao Chen had perceived through his spiritual sense earlier that the stall owner was indeed an elderly man.

Perhaps seeing the good luck of others, many warriors subsequently took action. Soon, the raw primal stones in front of the elderly man were bought out, and with a wave of the elderly man’s hand, nearly a hundred raw primal stones of different sizes appeared in front of everyone.

"The raw Elemental Stones from my mine are all from the Xuanling Mountain Range, so rest assured, everyone. If you’re fortunate enough to uncover a top-grade Elemental Stone, or even a Spirit Crystal, you’ll have hit a huge jackpot and amassed a great fortune."

The hoarse voice echoed again. In a fleeting moment, a small mountain of mid-grade Elemental Stones had accumulated in front of the old man, with as many as a hundred pieces. These were all from Warriors who wanted to gamble a little to gain a lot, paying for raw Elemental Stones.

It seemed as if the lucky warrior who had just opened five mid-grade elemental stones had exhausted the luck of everyone present. Of the nearly hundred pieces of raw Elemental Stones that were presented, only a few lower grade ones were unveiled. Even the largest Elemental Stone could only be split into ten lower grade stones, not even amounting to one-tenth of what was paid with a mid-grade Elemental Stone.

Even Xiao Chen couldn’t resist the temptation and bought one piece of raw Elemental Stone. Unfortunately, all he got was a piece of waste stone. What interested him most was the origin of the old man’s raw Elemental Stones.

"Are you deceiving us? I think you randomly picked up waste stones from the Xuanling Mountain Range. Hundreds of stones only yielded a few lower-grade Elemental Stones. Do you really think we are easy to fool?"

"Exactly, just because we can’t use force in the Ghost Market, do you really think we can’t deal with an old fraud like you?"

"My raw Elemental Stones all come from the depths of the subterranean veins in the Xuanling Mountain Range. As for whether there are Elemental Stones within them, I am unaware as well. It all relies on luck."

"Humph! The Elemental Stone vein in the Xuanling Mountain Range has long been exhausted, and it has now become an abandoned mine. And you still claim you are not deceiving us."

Through the discussions among the surrounding Warriors, Xiao Chen understood the origin of the Xuanling Mountain Range.

The Xuanling Mountain Range was rumored to have, a hundred thousand years ago, witnessed the discovery of a top-grade Elemental Stone vein by a Warrior within its desolate forests. Not only that, the vein was surrounded by high-grade Elemental Stone veins, with numerous mid- and low-grade Elemental Stones from the inside out.

In the end, people discovered a small Spirit Crystal vein deep within, containing nearly a hundred lower-grade Spirit Crystals. Not even the top-ranked Battle Divisions or marquis ranked divisions had such reserves.

The discovery of Spirit Crystals and top-grade Elemental Stones, along with a large number of high-grade Elemental Stones and countless mid-grade and lower-grade Elemental Stones plunged the entire Xuanling Mountain Range into a century-long struggle. Not only did many tribes from the Border Wasteland Region take action, but tribes from other regions also sought to stake their claim.

Evil creatures infiltrated the Xuanling Mountain Range, and numerous tribes indiscriminately mined the area. After a hundred years, the visible Elemental Stone veins were excavated and divided among them.

Even after that, sporadic top-grade Elemental Stones and even Spirit Crystal fragments were unearthed. But tens of thousands of years passed, and now, top-grade Elemental Stones are becoming rare, with mid-grade ones also dwindling. The entire Xuanling Mountain Range was thoroughly hollowed out, its mines extend a hundred miles underground, becoming an abandoned mine.

Nevertheless, over tens of thousands of years, some Warriors still ventured into it, hoping that they had good luck and would obtain residual Elemental Stones.

Wait!

At this moment, a warrior exclaimed, and an abrupt shine of crystal light sparkled in the dark night sky.

"Upper-grade Elemental Stone!"

A warrior had successfully uncovered an Upper-grade Elemental Stone. Although it was barely the size of half a fist, it was equivalent to three Upper-grade Elemental Stones. To extract an Upper-grade Elemental Stone from the abandoned vein that has been abandoned for tens of thousands of years - this luck was absolutely mind blowing.

After standing around for a short while, Xiao Chen continued his stroll. He had learned about the Xuanling Mountain Range, which had initially not caught his interest. He planned to return to his tribe after the Ghost Market ended, but now he was somewhat tempted and prepared to visit the Xuanling Mountain Range to try his luck.

After about half an hour, Xiao Chen arrived at the central area of the Ghost Market. It was a flat area of no more than five miles, where tens of thousands of people gathered. Apart from some trading areas, it was hard to find a very spacious place.

His attention was drawn to a stall that was surrounded by quite a few people. There was not a single ordinary item on the stall. They were all Spirit Items that were hard to come by in the Great Wasteland.

Thousand-Year Icy Marrow, Heart of Flames, Fire in Wood, Deep Blue Water, Nine Nether Blood Flame; these were all rare Spirit Items of heaven and earth. They can be used as Spirit Material to forge spiritual weapons, as well as being directly refined by warriors to comprehend the various combat essences embodied within.

Fire Pear Tree, Blood Dragon Fruit Tree, Millennium Vermillion Fruit Tree, Clearheart Tea Tree, White Jade Starlight Bamboo, Blood Thirsty Thorn Vine, and some other Spiritual Roots that are rare in the Great Wasteland.

The multitude of these heaven and earth Spirit Items simply astonish the surrounding warriors. Despite being hidden by straw hats, from the changes in their bodies, the shock and desire in their hearts could be felt.

Though these heaven and earth Spirit Items were only classified as Terrestrial Tier at most, they were invaluable treasures, whether in forging Spirit Weapons or directly absorbing and refining to practice divine powers.

Normally, it takes an inordinate amount of time and effort to find just one, with no guarantee of success. But now, they were casually placed before everyone’s eyes, which was practically challenging everyone’s psychological limits.
