Otherworldly Merchant
Chapter 632: One-Day Tour in the Ghost Market

I checked the time and found that it wasearly morning. However, it was still twilight outside.

“There’s no daylight in Fengdu. Most of the time, it will look like twilight. There will be five hoursof darknessto give the living people who jointhe Ghost Market time to rest.”

“This Ghost Market is really human-friendly.”

I shifted on the bed, but I couldn’t sleep because I wastooexcited. Chuyi decided to takeme outside to widen my knowledge. I hurriedly got up. When we passed by Zen MasterBaimei’s room, I wanted to call him to go with us. However, as I heard him snoring, I didn’t want to disturb him.

As soon as we got out of the inn, I scurried around to see the shops on both sides of the streets.

“Hey, calm down. You should wait. There will be good things to see later,”Chuyi told me.

I refrained from my curiosityandwalked with him. After walking for around ten minutes, the path in front of us changed. Therewereno morestreetsor buildings.I sawsomething that lookedlike a traditional market. However, there was no roof.

“This is the location where the trade conferencewill beheld this time. However, it hasn’t opened yet,sothere aren’tmany ‘businessmen’ here. Although thereareonly a few sellers here, Icanseethepowerful mass of Yin energy they’vecreated in the air.Don’t underestimate them. They are all on the Ghost King level, thousand-year-old monsters, or spirits living deep in the mountains. They’ve comeearlybecause they are afraid that theywon’t be able tosell their goods. Although theyhavegood stuff, their stuffisvery expensive. That’s why theycan't sell them fast,” Chuyi explained to me.

“What are the prices?”

“Your longevity, your children’s karmic rewards,stuff like that.…”

I felt awkwardand thoughtthat it was understandable why they couldn’t sell their stuff. Who would have the mind to exchange years of their life for some item?

However, I was curious to see what they were selling. I wanted to go there, butChuyi hurriedly stopped me.

“Don’t. Those Ghosts Kingslike to force peopleintobuying their stuff. Do not appear in front of them at any cost. They may stalk you later. Although they won’t do anything to you during the time of the trade conference, they willholda grudge against you later.”

I didn’t expect to have tolearn somany things for just a trade. Licking my lips, I wanted to leave. However, when I turned around, I saw a figure inside the market. Instinctively, I stopped walking.

“What’s wrong?” asked Chuyi.

“I think I’ve seenthat person before. Do you know him?” I looked at a young man who looked smooth, chubby, and white. Although I had just caught a glance of him, Ihada familiar feeling.

Chuyi carefully took a glanceat thatman then said, “Oh, he’s a jade spirit. Every time I come here, I see him. What’s wrong?”

“A jade spirit?”

I was surprised. Then, I remembered the secretary who had dreamedofbeingmolested. When shewokeup, she had a lot of kiss marks on her neck. I had helped hersolvea case regardinga jade spirit. To prevent that thing from harming people, I had directly melted it.

When Chuyi told me it was a jade spirit, I recognized that there wasaspecial auraaboutthose jade spirits.

I had thought that I would see a lot of rare and interesting stuff, butI hadn’t expected to encounter so many rules. Gradually, myenthusiasmwas drained, so I asked Chuyi to bring me back.

Unexpectedly, he waved his handsand toldme not to rush. He checked the time then said, “A treasure is about to show. Moreover, the seller won’t force you to buy it. Let’s wait and check it out.”

As hehad becomemysterious again, my curiosity was aroused. “Whatis it?”

Chuyi blinkedand blushed. “What do men need the most?”

“Money?” I answered instinctively. Men had to feed theirfamilies. Money should be themostimportant thing.

Chuyi shook his head. “No. Of course, men need healthy kidneys.”

“Haha!” I couldn’t help but laugh.

“So, this place also sells something like Viagra?”

Chuyi nodded. “Wait and see.”

As soon as he said that, a melodic voice came from the sky. “Hahaha, here I come again!”

After that, a market stall suddenly appeared in the market alongwith a white-headed old man. As soon as he appeared, he started toworkwith an iron wok on his stall, whichcontained hot sand and dust. Sometimes, he used his hand to stir the dust like a chef stirring his vegetables.

“What is he doing?”

“Just waitandsee.”

As the sand in the wok was heated up, many five-colored pellets appeared in the wok. They kept tumbling for a while. Soon, they exuded strong fragrances of shrimp and meat.

The old man then conjured a male dog from his stall and exposed its body. Then, he took a pellet from his wok and put it into the dog’s snout.

After the dog had swallowed the pellet, it rolled on the ground as though it was in a frenzy. Soon, it laidon the groundand panted.

Before I could ask what had just happened,the dog slowlyfloatedup. It stopped around half a meterin the air.

The dog spun slowly, revealing its weenie, which was small and soft at first. After eating the pellet, the dog’s weenie turned red and big like a hot iron rod…

I was baffled. After a long moment, I pulled myself together.“Howcan itbe?”

Chuyi nodded embarrassedly. “That old man is a shrimp spirit. Because shrimp can boost men’s stamina, hehasdecided to come here to sell his Divine Pellets.”

It turned out the pellets were called‘DivinePellets.’

“I guess his business is really good.”I was curious.

“I think so.”

After saying that, Chuyi asked me to go back. On the way, I saw that his face was red.I felt hot, too.Thosepellets were truly divine as we couldn’t help ourselves after just inhaling its fragrance.

When wereturnedto the inn, the sky was dark. As there were only a few hours of ‘night’ here, we seized the time to sleep to replenish our strength.

However, not long after we went to sleep, there was a loud commotion outside.Chuyi and I almost got up at the same time. We heard people begging for mercy and someone shouting and crying.

Curiously, I went to the window to see. Not far from our inn, ghosts were surrounding a spot on the street. There were also living humans mingling with the ghosts to watch the fun.

Inside the circle ofghostslaida haggard-looking middle-aged man. He had wicked eyes, which wasn’t a good first impression.

Floating next to him was a cute, small rabbit that was constantly blowing dark gas toward him.Every time the dark gas hit him, the middle-aged man shivered. Soon, he vomited blood. It looked likehewouldn’tbe able to endureitfor a long time.

“Didn’t you say that someone would ensure the security of the trade conference? That rabbit almost killedthe man.Why does nobodycare?”

That man looked like a living human. My chronic occupational disease surged in me, making me want to save him.

Chuyi shot a glance at the man then snorted. “He deserves that. I’ve seen this man. He comes here every year, but he always wants to make use of the ghosts. He promises to give them good stuff, like burning them more money paper, and offerings. But he has never kept his promise. Hegetsthe good stuff, but hedoesn'thelpthe ghosts.He’s capableandonly choosesto trick thelittle ghosts. That’s whypeople ignore him.”

Chuyi was a little angry. “He’s even trickedthe dead. This sort of man should die. Moreover, the trade conference organizers won’t care aboutasituation like this. You shouldn’t put your nose in it.”

I nodded. I had thoughtof helpinghim because he was also human. I didn’t expect to hear such a disgusting story.

Chuyi went downstairs.He said,“We can go and see. Just don’t makeamove.”

I followed himas I wantedto see what the man had done to trickthe little rabbit. When wegotthere, the middle-aged man was dead. However, the onlookers hadn’t left yet.The little rabbit had a small stall next to the dead body, and there was only one white hair on its stall.

As the rabbit didn’t transform into human form, it couldn’t talk. Chuyi asked someone standing next to him,“What happened?”

A ghost wearing a Chinese tunic garment kindly explained the situation to us.“This man bought an Invisible Needle from the rabbit and promised that he would give offerings to it for three years. He didn’t keep his promise. The rabbit waitedfor himin the marketthis time, andthe manwas killed as soon as he got here. He deservedit.”

I gave him a friendly smile and asked, “What’s the Invisible Needle?”
