There was a large open space in front of the building. It was paved with square floor tiles, forming a square that was several mu in size.
These floor tiles were completely blue, like blue jade. They were also engraved with veined patterns that emitted bursts of blue light, illuminating the entire valley.
There were many stalls and hawkers in the square, selling all sorts of items related to Immortal cultivation. Although they were far away and couldn't be seen clearly, the ripples of Dharmic powers emanating from those items could still be felt. Many ghosts walked past these stalls, glancing at them or inquiring about them.
Whether it was the ghosts entering and exiting the shops or the ones in the square, they all emitted powerful Yin Qi fluctuations. None of them were weak.
Seeing this scene, Shen Luo was shocked. After a while, he took a deep breath and his expression returned to normal.
This was the true cultivation world. It was as grand and majestic as he had imagined.
Compared to this place, whether it was Jianye City or the Temple of Spring and Autumn, they all seemed small.
There should be a special restriction set up around the valley. From the outside, there wasn't the slightest clue. Only when one entered could they discover the existence of the Ghost Market. This kind of large area and mysterious restriction wasn't something the Temple of Spring and Autumn or Jianye City could possess.
The grey-robed man was also shocked by the situation in the valley, but he quickly regained his composure.
"I'll take my leave first." The grey-robed man said to Shen Luo. Without waiting for a reply, he quickly walked into the valley and quickly blended into the crowd of ghosts in the square, disappearing without a trace.
Shen Luo didn't care about this. He was currently completely captivated by the bustling scene in the valley.
However, he didn't relax his vigilance. First, he moved closer to the square, not rashly entering.
The auras of the ghosts in the valley weren't weak. Most of them had higher cultivation than him. After all, the late stage of Qi Condensation was just the beginning in the cultivation world. Although the Soul Hooking Horse-Face said that this place was very safe, he didn't dare to believe it completely. He was still very careful.
Many ghosts in front of him noticed Shen Luo, but they only glanced at him before quickly looking away. Clearly, they didn't discover his identity as a living person.
Shen Luo inwardly let out a sigh of relief. After dawdling around the edge of the square for a while and making sure that his identity wouldn't be discovered, he continued to move forward.
He didn't go to the shops in the depths of the valley. Instead, he walked into the square and looked at the stalls.
Due to the fact that he had familiarized himself with the Hundred Celestial Herbs, which included the annotations of plants, insects, and ores on Mount Fangcun in the dreamland, the current him naturally had a wide range of knowledge.
Although these stalls were small, the items displayed on them were all extraordinary. Just the materials displayed on the stalls were very rare. Most of them were mid-grade or even high-grade materials.
Perhaps because this was the Ghost City, most of the materials in the stalls were of the Yin attribute, so he didn't need them.
In addition to materials, these stalls also had all kinds of talismans, such as "Yin Flame Talisman", "Phantom Talisman", "Treasure Talisman", and so on. There were all kinds of talismans, and they all seemed to be of high quality.
Shen Luo was very interested in talismans. He wished he could buy all these talismans that he had never seen before and study them carefully. Unfortunately, after asking around, he found that any random talisman would cost two or three immortal jades. Offensive talismans were even more expensive.
He didn't have many immortal jades on him, and he still needed to buy the Core Condensing Pill. He could only take a look to satisfy his craving.
In addition to materials and talismans, these stalls also had some talisman weapons, medicines, and the like.
However, these medicines were all for healing, detoxification, and so on. There weren't any precious Elixirs for cultivation.
Although Shen Luo didn't have any intention of buying, it was still a great eye-opener for him.
"Forget it, let's get down to business first." He strolled through less than half of the stalls in the square, forced himself to put away his thoughts, and walked towards the shops in the center of the valley.
From the conversations of some of the ghosts in the square, he learned an important piece of information. The Ghost City also had a time limit. It started in the middle of the night and ended in the morning. The time wasn't long, so he had to hurry.
There were many shops in the center of the valley, about twenty or thirty of them. They all operated businesses related to cultivation. Shen Luo strolled around for a while, and soon found a shop that sold Elixirs.
This Elixir Shop was quite large. Inside, there were five long counters covered with a layer of glass-like transparent jade. Under the jade, there were various Elixirs, with their names and effects written on the side.
Shen Luo took a few glances. The Elixirs here were a lot better than the ones sold in the stalls outside. There were also a lot of varieties. There were also some Elixirs that could strengthen one's foundation and cultivate.
"What kind of Elixir does this customer want?" A woman with a green face and red eyes, who looked seventy to eighty percent similar to an ordinary person, with a single horn on her head, came over. It seemed like she was the shopkeeper of this shop.
"Do you have the Core Condensing Pill for sale here?" Shen Luo didn't beat around the bush, and asked directly.
"Core Condensing Pill? I've never heard of it. "The Ghost Woman with a single horn said with a surprised expression.
Shen Luo frowned, but he quickly understood. The Core Condensing Pill was a Human Elixir. This place was the Ghost City, and it might not be the same place as the Human Realm. It wasn't strange that they didn't know about the Core Condensing Pill.
"It's a kind of Elixir that can assist in breaking through the fasting period." He explained.
"So your distinguished self wants a breakthrough Elixir. I'm sorry, breakthrough Elixirs are extremely rare. Although our shop has two kinds, they can only assist in breaking through a small realm within the Qi Refining Stage. We don't have breakthrough Elixirs for the fasting period." The Ghost Woman said with an apologetic expression.
"Thank you for your trouble." Shen Luo was disappointed. He nodded to the Ghost Woman and walked out.
He continued to look for other Elixir shops, and even after three or four shops, he still found nothing.
"It seems that even in the Ghost City, Core Condensing Pill is not easy to find." Shen Luo secretly said in his heart. He didn't stop his footsteps, and soon found a shop that sold Elixirs. After a little hesitation, he went in.
"Your distinguished self wants a breakthrough Elixir for fasting period? I'm sorry, we don't have it in our shop. "The shopkeeper, a ghostly old man, shook his head and said almost the same thing.
Shen Luo's complexion was gloomy, and he couldn't help but worry. Could it be that he couldn't find the Elixir he wanted in the Ghost City?
"Dear customer, is this your first time coming to the Ghost City? If you want to buy this Elixir, you don't have to look for other Elixir shops. Go directly to the Impermanence Pavilion. In the entire Ghost City, only that place has the Elixir you want. "The ghostly old man seemed to have seen through Shen Luo's mood, and said with a slight smile.
"Impermanence Pavilion?" Shen Luo's spirit was shaken.
"It's that big white shop that deals in materials, Elixirs, Talismans, Artifacts, and so on. The best things in the entire Ghost City are concentrated there. Of course, the price is also the best." The ghostly old man's line of sight looked towards a direction outside the door. His expression was somewhat sour, as if he was envious, and also as if he was jealous.
Shen Luo followed his line of sight, and saw a large shop towering in the distance.
