“Could that be possible, and what about treasures from other eras?”
Shen Yuan casually asked.
“Other eras???”
The confident smile on Zhi’s face stiffened again. He desperately wanted to question the young man before him if he knew what the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge era represented three thousand years ago?
That was a cultivating golden age that lasted for hundreds of years, with many hidden immortal clans reincarnating, and True Beings, True Monarchs shaking the world one after another as numerous Divine Skills and spells evolved to their peak.
It could be said that any precious object from the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge era three thousand years ago is a priceless treasure in the barren Great Xia today.
But Shen Yuan in front of him was not satisfied, and even asked if there were treasures from other eras.
Zhi, suppressing her anger, explained to Shen Yuan:
“Sir, you may not know that treasures are not necessarily better the older they
are.
The Primal Chaos Realm has experienced several severe periods of depletion of Spirit Energy, and only during the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge era could it be considered a prosperous era for cultivation.
That’s why the treasures left behind in the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge era were sought after by everyone.”
Shen Yuan raising an eyebrow asked: “So, you don’t have any more ancient treasures here?”
Shen Yuan surely knew this, but his initial aim was not for the treasures themselves but for the hidden achievements they might involve.
The last Spirit Energy Tidal Surge era was just three thousand years ago, which seemed a bit off from Shen Yuan’s idea of trading ancient artifacts and triggering hidden achievements.
It seems that the seemingly bizarre Ghost Market before his eyes might not be
as extraordinary as he initially thought.
Shen Yuan’s ruthless revelation made Zhi’s expression even more rigid.
Zhi had never met such an impassive person in all the years the Ghost Market had existed, which made her wonder if Shen Yuan was here to trade or to research.
After a pause, Zhi had no choice but to grit her teeth and reply: “No.”
Shen Yuan’s face revealed a lack of interest and after glancing at the four structures of the Ghost Market, he shook his head somewhat disappointedly.
“It seems that the Ghost Market is not really that great.”
Zhi decided to ignore Shen Yuan’s rating and introduced to Shen Yuan with suppressed emotions:
“The Ghost Market is divided into the Calculation Pavilion, Treasure Pavilion,
Law Pavilion, and Gamble Pavilion.
The Calculation Pavilion is where they offer fortune-telling and predict cause and effect. As long as you pay a certain price, you can get all the information you want.”
Zhi first pointed to the smallest of the four buildings which looked like an ordinary small pavilion. A fishing rod extended from above the pavilion, and the hook was actually a straight silver needle.
On the door of the Calculation Pavilion, four big characters were written.
Volunteers Wanted.
“The Treasure Pavilion stores countless treasures collected by the Ghost Market over thousands of years, including storage magic artifacts, inherited treasures, and lifebound flying swords… as long as you can afford it, you can even get the rare supreme grade spirit treasure from the Treasure Pavilion.”
The Treasure Pavilion was the largest of the four pavilions, the building adorned with dragon and phoenix carvings looked like a palace, and many treasures embedded on it gave a sense of grandeur and extravagance.
On the door of the Treasure Pavilion, four big characters were also written.
Spend Till Broke.
“The Law Pavilion preserves the Divine Skills and spells accumulated by the Ghost Market over thousands of years. It even has precious cultivators’ inheritances, internal and external alchemy methods, and techniques of Primordial Spirit Travel. Once you comprehend the spells, you can ascend to heaven.”
The Law Pavilion had an ancient style, it was like a huge traditional library with many jade strips, jade tokens, bamboo strips, and books displayed inside, which seemed to convey a sense of antiquity.
On the door of the Law Pavilion, there were still four big characters.
Hard to Discern the True from the False.
“The last one, the Gamble Pavilion, is the most special one among the four.
As the name suggests, the Gamble Pavilion itself is a unique casino. But what is gambled in the Gamble Pavilion is not just simple treasures and spells.
As long as you can afford it, the Gamble Pavilion can even gamble lifespan, soul, talent, everything can be gambled.
And the Ghost Market promises that there will be no any hidden dangers in the things one wins from the Gamble Pavilion!”
Compared to the previous three buildings, the appearance of the Gamble Pavilion was very peculiar, like a grotesque and ugly skull with its mouth wide open, greedily swallowing all the living things that entered the Gamble Pavilion.
Above the big mouth, there were also four big characters.
Point of No Return.
The four buildings and the characters above, it seemed that the malice and treachery they showed were not concealed at all.
They have long considered all the beings who entered the Ghost Market as prey, and they would eventually enter them driven by desire.
As Shen Yuan was carefully examining the four buildings, a frantic voice suddenly rang out from the incredibly extravagant Treasure Pavilion.
“The Ghost Market has not yet truly opened, and you dare to bring outsiders here in advance. Do you still have any respect for the rules of the Ghost Market?”
As the voice fell, the ground shook, and a huge meat mountain squeezed out from the Treasure Pavilion.
The meat mountain was dressed in a golden yellow robe, with golden chains draped around its neck. Its chubby fingers were filled with a large number of rings, giving a sense of a walking treasury.
With each step, the weight of the meat mountain and its jewelry caused the ground to shake, like a monstrous humanoid beast.
In front of this meat mountain, Zhi seemed to bear immense pressure, with a large amount of yellow fat continuously oozing out of her body, which made her seductive body even more disturbingly nauseating.
“Greetings to the Treasure House Master!”
Zhi’s fair face began to twist, and she quickly bowed to the meat mountain in front of her, full of humility in her voice.
“Master, this guest was invited by the Ghost Market to come here. He has seen through the nature of the Ghost Market and has reached the level of entering the four pavilions.”
“The four pavilions?”
The meat mountain’s mung bean-sized eyes swiveled, then its gaze fell on the storage ring on Shen Yuan’s right index finger.
“Humph! Worth some value.”
The Treasure House Master snorted coldly, and the pressure on Zhi vanished in an instant.
The huge figure looked down at Shen Yuan. Even the mighty Maine Coon appeared merely as an unremarkable kitten in front of this Treasure House Master.
The massive mouth opened wide, showing a mouthful of golden teeth reflecting dazzling light. The Treasure House Master, carrying a smile, asked: “I wonder if this guest would be interested in trading with our Treasure Pavilion?”
Shen Yuan said nothing but cast an indifferent gaze towards another building. In front of the Law Pavilion, a handsome middle-aged man dressed in a light blue robe and holding a bamboo strip was quietly staring at Shen Yuan. Regardless of his attire or the bamboo strip in his hand, the middle-aged man looked like a private tutor from ancient times, carrying a scholarly air. However, as soon as the middle-aged man spoke, the scholarly air was completely disrupted, and a femininely gentle voice came out from his mouth. “Fatso, this guest asked about Divine Skills the moment he entered the Ghost Market, he should be trading with my Law Pavilion.”
