The old man opened his eyes as if he sensed someone approaching him. He looked at Su Ming and a hint of surprise appeared on his face. He looked at Su Ming carefully before closing his eyes once again.
Su Ming stared at the blue object on the beast skin. It looked like a plate. The edges of the plate were sharp but there were a few cracks on it. The deepest one looked as if it was going to pierce through the plate.
It lay quietly on the beast skin. Occasionally, it would let out a weak light, giving people the illusion that the plate was alive.
Su Ming could see some carvings on the plate as the cracks intersected with each other. The carvings were of a ferocious ghost's face. It looked terrifying.
"This is a defective Berserker Vessel. You can't afford it." As Su Ming observed the plate, he heard an old voice. Su Ming lifted his head and saw that the person who spoke was the old man sitting cross-legged.
"Berserker Vessel?" Su Ming took a deep breath. He had some guesses before this. From the beast skin scrolls, he understood that Berserker Vessels were extremely valuable items. Only those in the Transcendence Realm could own and create them. It was difficult for those in the Blood Solidification Realm to get their hands on them. Even if they did, it was usually passed down from a tribe. The tribe also needed to be able to protect the item so that it would not be taken away by those in the Transcendence Realm.
"This item is damaged and can't be used anymore. But it was created by those in the Transcendence Realm. I'll sell it for 1,000 stone coins," the old man said slowly.
Su Ming looked at the blue plate. His eyes were filled with desire and envy. Yet he only had 5 stone coins on him. He could not afford it.
Su Ming sighed and cast a few more glances at the blue plate before he reluctantly left.
"I wonder when I'll be able to have my own Berserker Vessel …" Su Ming mumbled to himself as he walked through the square. There were many people selling beast skin stalls in the square but Su Ming did not see any other Berserker Vessels after walking through the entire square.
He did see some Cloud Gauze Grass being sold by different people. The price was slightly higher. Each plant was sold for one stone coin, almost the same price as Dark Dragon's Saliva.
The sky was getting dark. It was almost dusk. The setting sun shone on the ground in the distance but there were more people in the square. It was bustling with activity.
Su Ming looked at the sky and continued wandering around the place. He even went into some tents made of grass. The items sold in those tents were also sold. The prices were high, but the quality of the items was guaranteed. There were also quite a lot of people going in and out of those tents.
Under Su Ming's watchful eyes, he saw some of the Berserkers who came to the place. They did not seem to be buying anything, but were instead carrying baskets on their backs and walking into some tents made of grass, just like him, to sell their items to the owners of the tents.
When Su Ming saw this, a smile appeared on his lips. He had been observing the place for the entire afternoon, and now, he had noticed all sorts of details. Once he organized everything in his mind, he understood most of the rules of the trade in this place.

Su Ming looked around cautiously and quickly took off the basket on his back. He opened the beast skin wrapped around his body and put it on. He also put on the beast skins he had prepared in the basket. Finally, he took out a black beast skin that looked like a robe and put it on, wrapping his body tightly.
Because of it, Su Ming's face could no longer be seen. In fact, he looked incredibly bloated, and compared to his previous frail self, he was practically another person.
Su Ming stretched his body and tightened the layers of beast skins he wore. He looked at the basket. There was another item inside. It was something he had prepared for this trip. It may have been heavy on the way, but it had its uses.
Su Ming lifted the woven basket and slung it on his back. He lowered his head and walked a few steps before he stopped. After a moment of pensive silence, he bent his body so that he looked like a hunchback and quickly walked towards the tent made of grass and wood he had chosen earlier.
The tent was the dimmest. The people who came and went in the tent during the afternoon were all like Su Ming. They hid their faces as if they did not want others to recognize them.
It may have been Su Ming's first time in the square, but his observation during the afternoon had allowed him to understand most of the details of the place. He did not immediately step into the tent he had chosen. Instead, he walked around the area where the light was dimmer. He would occasionally observe the tent.
Not long after, the tent was opened from the inside, and a man with his appearance hidden walked out. He hurriedly left the square.
Su Ming had seen a lot of people like this during the afternoon. When he was certain that those who left would not be chased by anyone, he took advantage of the fact that there were no other people in the tent and walked quickly towards the tent. Without any hesitation, he lifted the flap and walked in.
The moment he entered the tent, Su Ming immediately felt someone's gaze on him. It was a middle-aged man with his upper body bare. He was sitting cross-legged in the tent. There was a bonfire in front of him. As the fire burned, it let out crackling sounds.
One of the middle-aged man's eyes was empty, but there was an aggressive, brilliant light in his other eye. At that moment, he was staring at Su Ming without a single word.
"The light from the fire is a little blinding." Su Ming's entire body was covered by beast skins. He was not worried that the man would see his face. He spoke slowly. His voice was slightly hoarse, slightly different from his normal voice.
The one-eyed man looked at Su Ming for a while before averting his gaze. In his eyes, besides the fact that Su Ming did not have any Qi, he was no different from the other people who came here.
He may not have sensed any Qi from Su Ming's body, but if he could enter the tent without any sense of unfamiliarity and knew the rules, then he would not be a nobody.
He lifted his right hand and pressed it against the bonfire. Immediately, the bonfire became much dimmer, causing the light in the tent to also become dimmer.
"Take it out. If it's something good, I'll give you a good price." The man withdrew his right hand and spoke slowly.
Su Ming's gaze spread out from the beast skin covering his face and sized up the man. Suddenly, he laughed. His laughter was also hoarse, and it echoed in the tent, causing the man to frown involuntarily.
At the instant he frowned, Su Ming lifted his right hand and swung it. Immediately, a medicinal fragrance filled the air, and a round object charged towards the man. The man grabbed it, and at the instant he placed it in front of his eyes to examine it, a brilliant light shone in his right eye, and he sucked in a sharp breath uncontrollably.
"How much is this thing worth?" Su Ming's hoarse voice rang out slowly.
"What is this medicine? Where did you get it? What are its effects? " The man stared at the item in his hand for a while. He lifted his head and looked at Su Ming solemnly. There was a strange glint in his eyes.
"I saw this beast on my way to the square." Su Ming did not answer the man's question. Instead, he spoke suddenly. As he spoke, he took down the basket on his back and placed it by his side. He lifted his right hand and grabbed at something. The basket swayed for a moment and a tied up mink raccoon was brought out by Su Ming and placed on the ground.
The mink raccoon looked dispirited, but there was a fierce glint in its eyes. However, there were some unhealed wounds on its body, and it could not escape since it was tied up.
The man was stunned. It was clear that he did not understand the meaning behind Su Ming's words. He swept his gaze past the mink raccoon. It was just a normal wild beast and did not attract much attention from him.
"That's why I caught it. Look, it's still alive …" Su Ming's voice was languid and hoarse, but it sounded a little strange in the dark tent.
"What are you talking about?" The man frowned.
"I'm talking about it. It's still alive. Do you know why I caught it? Because it's a little too curious. It's been following behind me for a long time … "Su Ming lifted his left hand and caressed the mink raccoon's body. However, the moment his hand touched the unhealed wounds on the mink raccoon's body, the mink raccoon suddenly shuddered!
There was no pained scream or even a roar. There was only a shudder, and its entire body turned into a mist of blood, as if its blood was burning. Under the man's dumbfounded gaze, the beast's entire body dissipated, leaving behind only a pile of black and red bones that intersected with each other.
"Now, it's dead …" Su Ming touched the bones left behind by the wild beast with his left hand. Immediately, the bones turned into powder and fell to the ground.
The man took a sharp breath. He instinctively stood up and took a few steps back. His eyes were filled with terror and shock that he could not hide. He was stunned for a moment, and when he looked at Su Ming again, his gaze was filled with fear and respect.
"Fallen Berserker …"
"Hmm?" Su Ming let out a harrumph.
The man shuddered. He was just about to explain when Su Ming waved his hand, as if he was getting impatient.
"Tell me, how much is the item you're holding in your hand worth? The effect of this item is simple. It can increase the effects of herbs you take when you practice! "As for other questions, you're a little too curious," Su Ming said slowly.
The man's face was pale. The scene just now had shocked him. He did not even feel the circulation of Qi in Su Ming's body before the wild beast turned into a mist of blood right before him.
"This item …" The man calmed down his thoughts and lowered his head to look at the round pill in his hand.
"Senior, I've never seen this item before … This is …" The man spoke hesitantly. If it was a normal customer, he would not have acted this way. However, he was shocked by the scene just now and did not dare to offend Su Ming.
"You can test it now. If there's no effect, I'll leave. If there's an effect, then we'll talk about its value," Su Ming spoke unhurriedly as he sat there.
The man let out a sigh of relief. Once he bowed respectfully, he took out a bell from his bosom and shook it lightly. Immediately, tinkling sounds spread out.
A barely noticeable glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. He looked at the bell and clenched his left hand that was hidden in his robes. There were still some Scattering Blood powder left on his left hand.
