After entering the city, Yang Qi made some inquiries and learned that the City Lord's Mansion held a trade fair every month and a large trade fair every year. Yang Qi's arrival time was quite coincidental, as there was still half a month before the start of the large auction. This was why Yang Qi saw so many practitioners coming and going in the city. These practitioners came from nearby star regions, and there were even martial king realm practitioners from the wilderness.
While inquiring, Yang Qi also learned that the city lord was a mid-level Martial Emperor, who was said to be connected to a powerful force. A high-level Martial Emperor had once tried to cause trouble in the city, but was eventually suppressed.
“The one who can suppress a high-level Martial Emperor must be a Martial Emperor!” Yang Qi’s eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance, and he thought to himself, “This is not surprising. If you dare to do this kind of business, without the support of a Martial Emperor, you can’t gain a foothold at all, and you can’t exist for long.”
Even Yang Qi suspected that the Lord of the Alien Universe was behind this, but this was just Yang Qi's guess. The Lord of the Alien Universe could not show up in person, so it was naturally difficult to confirm.
The large-scale auction was about to begin, and Yang Qi was quite interested in it, so he stayed. Before the auction began, Yang Qi was not idle either, but looked for some rare treasures in the shops in the city.
However, most of the rare treasures that were dared to be sold directly were those with confirmed uses. Therefore, after a few days, Yang Qi did not find any special rare treasures. Even some seemingly precious rare treasures were not worth Yang Qi's attention.
"It seems I still have to go to the ghost market." Yang Qi thought to himself.
The so-called ghost market is actually an underground market. Compared with the clearly marked prices in shops, the rare treasures in the underground market are of all kinds and anything can appear. Whether or not the treasure can be found depends on the practitioner's own ability and luck.
The ghost market in the city was not difficult to find. After asking around, Yang Qi found out the entrance to the ghost market, which was in an inconspicuous alley next to a restaurant.
"Peak of Martial King!"
When Yang Qi came into the alley, he immediately discovered that the two practitioners at the peak of Martial King level were guarding the entrance. Not only Yang Qi came to the Ghost Market, but also some practitioners who came because of their fame. There were several practitioners waiting in the small alley.
"Daoyou, please!"
Seeing Yang Qi coming, a peak Martial King immediately stepped forward and respectfully welcomed Yang Qi into the Ghost Market.
A young man looked at Yang Qi entering the ghost market and said with an unpleasant expression, "Why doesn't he need to provide proof of financial resources?"
When these people came to the Ghost Market, they were asked to prove their financial resources, because once a transaction was reached in the Ghost Market, payment was required immediately. The Ghost Market also had small auctions, and the proof of financial resources was to prevent practitioners from deliberately bidding.
The middle-aged man who sent Yang Qi into the ghost market heard this and looked at the young man coldly and said, "If you are a Martial Emperor, you don't need to prove your financial strength!"
Martial Emperor Realm
As soon as these words were spoken, the young man's face changed. No wonder the other party did not need to prove his financial strength to enter the Ghost Market. In the cultivation world, strength is the best proof!
The young men and their companions were only at the Martial King level, so they naturally did not dare to be compared with the Martial Emperor level. Therefore, they could only wait patiently for the verification from the two peak Martial Kings.
…
“Is this the ghost market?”
Looking at the huge courtyard in front of him, Yang Qi's mouth twitched. The ghost market in front of him was actually set up in a villa, which was completely different from the ghost market he expected.
Compared to shops in the outside world, the ghost market is filled with constant hawking sounds and stalls everywhere. The stall owners even take the initiative to introduce the rare treasures in their stalls to the cultivation world.
The treasures in the Ghost Market are of all kinds and strangeness, and ordinary Martial Kings may be dazzled. However, with Yang Qi's knowledge, he found that although there are many treasures in the Ghost Market, most of them are extremely common treasures, just relatively peculiar. Practitioners with insufficient vision and experience may really be fooled.
“This ghost market is somewhat unworthy of its name.” Yang Qi shook his head slightly and walked towards the depths of the ghost market.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Yang Qi's gaze focused and he looked towards a stall not far away. He saw several practitioners gathered in front of the stall, but he was not looking at these practitioners, but at the stall.
"That mysterious pattern!"
Yang Qi's eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance. After seeing the mysterious pattern in the Seven Treasures Glazed Mirror, the mysterious pattern flashed from time to time, but as time passed, this situation has not appeared for a while. But just now, the mysterious pattern flashed again, especially when Yang Qi looked in the direction of the stall, the pattern flashed more frequently.
"What on earth is on that stall that could trigger that mysterious pattern?" Yang Qi's eyes focused, and he immediately walked towards the stall.
"Poor bastard!"
Just as Yang Qi approached the stall, a disdainful voice came from the direction of the stall.
"you… "
The faces of the intermediate martial kings who were standing in front of the stall were red, and it was obvious that they were offended by the stall owner's words. After all, those who had cultivated to the martial king realm were considered strong in their respective cultivation worlds, especially near this desolate area. Now being called a poor ghost was a huge loss of face, and it would be strange if they were not angry.
The stall owner glanced at the mid-level martial king and said coldly, "If you can't afford it, don't waste my time."
"Hmph~"
The middle-aged man snorted coldly. After all, he was at the Martial King level. It was impossible for him to impulsively buy an expensive treasure just because of a remark from the other party. Therefore, the middle-aged man just snorted coldly and left the stall immediately.
While the other party was away, Yang Qi came to the stall, quickly scanned the items on the stall, and soon found the item that caused the mysterious pattern to flash.
"A mirror again?"
Looking at the palm-sized mirror-like object, Yang Qi couldn't help but frown slightly. The mirror was somewhat similar to the Seven Treasures Colored Glass Mirror, but it was silver-gray in color. It looked ordinary and seemed to have nothing special about it.
Although the origin of the mirror cannot be seen, it can trigger the mysterious pattern in the Seven Treasures Colored Glass Mirror, so it is obviously related to the Seven Treasures Colored Glass Mirror and should also be a treasure from the Wilderness.
"How much is this mirror?" Yang Qi looked at the stall owner and asked.
Seeing that Yang Qi seemed to be interested in the mirror, the stall owner immediately said in a vivid voice, "Senior, this mirror is a rare item. Even a Martial Emperor cannot destroy it..."
"How much?" Yang Qi interrupted the stall owner.
The stall owner in front of him was obviously a profiteer, otherwise he wouldn't have called the customer a poor bastard. Because the mirror triggered the mysterious pattern, Yang Qi revealed his interest in the mirror from the beginning. With the stall owner's personality, he would naturally give him a good deal, and Yang Qi had expected this. As long as the other party's asking price was not too outrageous, he would have no choice but to buy it.
"Four hundred million crystals." The stall owner said in a deep voice.
hiss~
As the stall owner finished speaking, several practitioners in front of the stall couldn't help but gasp.
Although they didn't ask about the price of the mirror, how could it be a treasure worth 400 million when it was placed together with a bunch of treasures priced at tens of millions? It was obvious that the stall owner saw that Yang Qi was interested in the mirror and deliberately raised the price in order to sell it to Yang Qi at a high price. (To be continued)
