After listening to the pale-faced young man's introduction, Ye Kong nodded. The square was filled with temporary stalls set up by small cultivators to sell their own gadgets. After selling them, they would close down. The small buildings at the back were the shops, which were dedicated to doing business. Of course, there were more good things here than outside, but the price was estimated to be relatively more expensive.
Following the pale-faced young man into the square, he saw that there were all kinds of strange stalls. There were all kinds of beast bones, all kinds of utensils. Some had a sign in front of them, indicating what it was, but some didn't even have a sign, so he didn't know what they were selling.
The noises around him were incessant as people haggled over prices. It was no different from the market among mortals.
"Dao brother, if I rent a stall here, how many spirit stones would it cost?" Ye Kong remembered that he also had things to sell. First, it was the horn of the Corpse Control Insect, according to the old ancestor, it cost a hundred spirit stones. In addition, there were hundreds of cage grass seeds, which could also be sold for some money.
"Oh, these stalls can only be rented when the market is open, five spirit stones a day, you can also rent them according to the hours, two spirit stones per hour in the morning, three spirit stones per hour in the afternoon." The pale-faced young man replied.
What a black price, Ye Kong stuck out his tongue. He killed Fan Jiushe and got four spirit stones, killed Xia Hui and got eight spirit stones, and from the Nandu people, he got a total of seventeen spirit stones.
Later, when he went out, he gave Lu Qin and Xiao Hong one each, and he used another one for the spirit cultivator array. Now, there were fourteen in his storage bag, which was not enough to rent the stall for a few hours.
"Seems like it's more cost-effective to rent it for a day." Ye Kong said with a smile.
"Yes, yes." The pale-faced young man nodded, he saw that Ye Kong had something to sell, and couldn't help but ask, "Little brother, do you have something to sell? I'm more familiar with this place, tell me, I'll give you an estimate, don't lose out. Oh, I also know a lot of shop owners behind, if it's a rare item, they will also buy it at a high price. "
At first, Ye Kong was afraid that this kid would have designs on him, but looking at the prices in front of him, a hundred spirit stones shouldn't be something that would attract people's attention, right?
"I have a … corpse-controlling insect horn," Ye Kong stuttered.
"What?" The pale-faced youth didn't seem to have heard it clearly, but he also seemed to have heard it clearly and couldn't believe it.
"The horn of the Corpse Control Worm," Ye Kong repeated.
The pale-faced young man finally heard it clearly, and then he laughed and said, "You want to set up a stall to sell this thing?"
Ye Kong was a little dumbfounded. "Why? Why can't I?"
The pale-faced youth laughed even harder. "A living corpse controlling insect can only be sold for three spirit stones. How much can a horn of yours be sold for? Renting a table would cost you at least two spirit stones. "
Ye Kong nearly fainted. He quickly asked, "Are you mistaken? It's a corpse-controlling insect, the kind that has a horizontal top and a vertical bottom! "
Seeing how anxious Ye Kong was, the pale-faced youth laughed so hard that he couldn't catch his breath. He quickly said, "I know, I know. I also know that the insect has a black shell and can't fly very far."
"But I heard that it's sold for hundreds of spirit stones!" Ye Kong said in disbelief.
The pale-faced youth laughed a little exaggeratedly. It immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding people. Someone immediately came over and said, "Little friend, the horn of the corpse-controlling insect, I will sell it to you for fifty spirit stones. How about it? You can have as many as you want."
Another person behind him jeered, "I only want thirty spirit stones. It's even buy one get one free."
Even more people laughed and shook their heads. "This is most likely a little cultivator who is going out for the first time. He doesn't even know that he has been cheated."
"No way. The horn of the corpse-controlling insect is so cheap?" Ye Kong blinked his eyes. Damn it. He was hoping that this thing could sell for a high price. He could then exchange it for a flying artefact!
Ancestor Acheron always woke up in time. He immediately roared in Ye Kong's mind. "Don't listen to them! The corpse-controlling insect can't be so cheap. They are lying to you! "
But soon, Ancestor Acheron could not shout anymore. The pale-faced youth pulled Ye Kong to a shop behind the square called Hundred Insects Shop.
"This is our Hundred Insects Stronghold's own shop. You can go in and see how many spirit stones it costs for the corpse-controlling insect."
When he saw the countless black beetles crawling inside the big crystal box, as well as the price tag on the box, Ye Kong was really dumbfounded.
A living corpse-controlling insect was only sold for three spirit stones. Thinking about that horn, it was probably not even worth a single spirit stone.
The busybodies who followed behind also enjoyed Ye Kong's dumbfounded expression. Each and every one of them laughed. Some of them even came up and patted Ye Kong's shoulder. "Silly boy. Next time, you should first inquire about the price before doing business."
When Ye Kong and the pale-faced youth came out of the crowd, an acquaintance that Ye Kong had seen before unexpectedly appeared in the crowd.
Boy, what a coincidence! We meet again! Last time you dared to scold me like that. I'm not done with you!
"Little Fellow Daoist, I'm sorry. I didn't expect so many people to watch." The pale-faced youth pulled Ye Kong to the street in the middle of the market.
"Oh, it's okay. I didn't get cheated. I caught the corpse-controlling insect myself. Later, someone told me that it was very valuable." Ye Kong explained.
The pale-faced youth nodded. "The corpse-controlling insect has been raised by our Hundred Insects Sect for a long time. There are a lot of them. Of course, they are not valuable. But in the mainland, far away from the wilderness, it is possible that they are worth a hundred spirit stones."
"En, that's true." Ye Kong made a fool of himself. His face was very red.
"Then, you can look around by yourself. I'll go back." The pale-faced youth probably saw that Ye Kong was poor and stupid, so he didn't want to waste any more time.
But Ye Kong felt that this pale-faced youth was very warm-hearted. He was a sentimental person. He immediately wanted to make friends with him.
"Okay." Ye Kong said quickly. "Fellow Daoist, how should I address you?"
"My name is Zaji." The name of the barbarian race was similar to the ethnic minorities on Earth. This pale-faced youth called Zaji asked, "Then little friend, what about you? Which sect are you from?"
"I am Xia Hui from the Bone Spirit Sect."
A certain beauty was currently worrying about how to teach this rogue a lesson. Hearing that Ye Kong was lying, she felt that the opportunity had come.
"Wow, isn't this the famous Eighth Young Master? When did you become Xia Hui from the Bone Spirit Sect? "Suddenly, a dull voice sounded from behind Ye Kong.
Ye Kong's heart jumped. Damn, I've been exposed! Who is this? How could he know me? Damn, I don't know any other cultivators besides Ancestor Acheron.
Ye Kong hurriedly turned his head. He saw a thin man with two strands of thin beard. He was in the middle stage of the Qi Training Stage.
Who the hell is this? I don't know him!
"This fellow daoist looks very unfamiliar …" As Ye Kong spoke, his hand had already touched his waist. The small sword was still hanging there, but it was covered by his thin clothes.
This cricket bearded man was only a few levels higher than him. He should be able to kill him. Since he knew his real identity, then don't blame me for being merciless.
However, that man was also very strange. He raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile, "If you can't remember, you can think about it slowly. Goodbye."
That thin man was also really strange. He said two inexplicable words and then left. Was his brain flooded?
"Hey! Who are you! "Ye Kong looked at his back and felt that he was somewhat familiar.
That thin man did not answer. He only turned his head and smiled. Then, he walked towards the direction of the market square.
"Your acquaintance?" Zaji asked.
Seeing that smile, Ye Kong had already recognized him. He nodded and said, "Oh, just a one-time acquaintance. This person was kicked in the head by a donkey when he was young. He often said inexplicable words. Brother Zaji, please don't mind him."
"So that's how it is. I think he's also not normal." Zaji did not think too much. He cupped his hands and bid farewell.
This small mustache was actually the female cultivator who wanted to assassinate Ye Kong in the Hidden Spring House. After nearly a year of experience, she also understood a lot of the ways of the world.
That day, when she failed to assassinate Ye Kong, she sneaked back to Southern City to inquire about this Eighth Young Master. What she did not expect was that this perverted thief was actually very loved by the people. Adults and children all praised him.
Since that was the case, she no longer had any intention to kill him. However, Ye Kong, this brat, cursed her that day, and she still took it to heart.
She was a female cultivator. Can't you be a little more refined? You don't need to curse people so much, okay? Even barbarian cultivators would not curse people like that.
So today, when she coincidentally met Ye Kong, she naturally wanted to get back at him. However, she also did not want to completely expose Ye Kong. She just stopped when it was appropriate. Hehe, let him be a little unhappy.
"Brat, you dare to curse this lady! Since I'm in a good mood today, I'll collect a little interest. Next time, it won't be so easy! " The female cultivator thought of Ye Kong's panicked and nervous look a moment ago. She could not help but feel proud in her heart. She covered her mouth and smiled. She then walked towards the entrance of the makeshift market.
This female cultivator's actions made Ye Kong puzzled. He recognized this female cultivator. She was the one who wanted to plot against him last time.
But why didn't she want to kill him today? Moreover, she could have said his real name to harm him. But why did she stop when she mentioned the Eighth Young Master?
Ye Kong could not figure it out. He then heard Ancestor Acheron say, "Is there really something wrong with this female cultivator? Last time, she wanted to kill you even though there was no enmity between them. But this time, even if there is enmity between them, she doesn't care. It's really strange."
Ye Kong looked at her back as she walked out of the makeshift market. He sighed and said, "I haven't seen her for more than half a year. This woman's ability to disguise herself is a bit better. It's not like when I first saw her. But why did her cultivation become so low?"
Ancestor Acheron said, "It's not difficult. There are many elixirs that can hide one's cultivation. It's not difficult to suppress one's cultivation from the middle stage of Foundation Establishment to the middle stage of Qi Refining."
Ye Kong thought for a moment and said, "Hey, Ancestor, do you think that woman will hide outside the makeshift market and wait for me to go out, and then plot against me on the way?"
"I don't think so. Look at the three men in the late stage of Qi Refining. They must want to kill that woman and take her treasures."
After listening to Ancestor Acheron's words, Ye Kong found that there was really something wrong with those three men.
"Then should we follow them and take a look?" Ye Kong asked.
"What for? Do you want to take advantage of them? That woman is in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment and has a top-notch magic weapon. Those three brats are dead for sure. "
"Then it's none of our business. Let's continue strolling around the makeshift market." After talking about the female cultivator, Ye Kong recalled the embarrassing scene of him making a fool of himself just now. He said angrily, "Hey, Ancestor, didn't you say that thing can be sold for hundreds of spirit stones? You're not the one who made a fool of yourself, are you? "
"Don't be noisy. I'm talking about the price of goods from 100,000 years ago, okay? Do you want to follow me back to 100,000 years ago to take a look? " Ancestor Acheron replied. He then muttered with grievance, "Who knew that this Hundred Insect Stronghold would raise the Corpse Control Bug like a domestic animal. Of course, it's not worth much."
"Ai." Ye Kong let out a long sigh. He grabbed the dozen or so spirit stones in his hand. He couldn't think of anything else he could sell.
