Family Cultivation: Expelled from the Wilderness at the Start

Chapter 3 Underground Ghost Market
Soon, Xie Lingxiao found the ghost market connection point mentioned by the loose cultivator in his previous life.

I saw a few casual cultivators standing on a remote street corner, looking like gangsters, chatting with their arms crossed.

After Xie Lingxiao came to Lei Hongze in his previous life, he often dealt with casual cultivators. Especially in the later period, he fought side by side with all kinds of people in the war, and he had long since lost the squeamishness that comes from a family of cultivators.

At this time, he walked over in a manner unique to Jianghu. Although the casual cultivators saw that Xie Lingxiao had an extraordinary temperament and was different from his peers, the businesslike manner of his gestures still made them lower their guard.

"A few fellow Taoists, I was introduced by Lao Zhang San."

Xie Lingxiao reported the name of the casual cultivator in his previous life.

"Old Zhang San?"

Several casual cultivators looked at him carefully and seemed to recognize the name Lao Zhang San, but they seemed to think that he was not related to the name Lao Zhang San, so they looked suspicious.

"Do me a favor."

Seeing this, Xie Lingxiao could only throw a spirit stone to them: "I was arranged to go to Lei Hongze, and I am going to try my luck."

After hearing these words, several people actually believed it.

"Do you know the rules?"

They asked after carefully looking around the alley.

"I heard Lao Zhang San say it."

Seeing the drama, Xie Lingxiao nodded immediately.

"Cover your face and follow me."

One of the casual cultivators suddenly waved his hand and said.

Although there is a secret technique for keeping one's appearance in the spiritual world, after all, the ghost market is all low-level monks, and not everyone may have this secret technique, so a face covering step is added.

Xie Lingxiao had already used facial constriction techniques to change his appearance, but in order not to look too alien, he still tied the black cloth he had prepared long ago to his face.

He followed the casual cultivator into the winding alley. After walking for an unknown amount of time, he felt that it was getting more and more deserted. He could not help but tighten his hands on the talismans that had been prepared in his sleeves.

There was no way. In his previous life, he had experienced too many intrigues with Lei Hongze, and they were all lessons learned in blood.

Finally, the casual cultivator suddenly stopped in front of a house with only ruins of walls left. He pushed open the badly broken courtyard door and walked straight in.

Xie Lingxiao looked at the swaying courtyard door, feeling that it would fall apart completely if it shook a few more times. He followed it to the yard in front of the house.

The casual cultivator walked to the middle of the yard, where there was a well. He kicked the well on the ground and said, "Go in."

Xie Lingxiao was not surprised. He had long heard the old Zhang San say that there were many entrances to the ghost market, and they were all such wells. The ghost market was located underneath this maze-like group of alleys: "What shall I do later?" come out?"

"You can come back the way you came. There are people guarding you down there."

The casual cultivator waved his hand.

Xie Lingxiao nodded, walked to the well, looked down, and saw that it was completely dark, but he could still vaguely see the muddy ground.

This is a dry well.

Now that the matter was over, he jumped directly into the well without any further hesitation.

As expected, there was no water under the well. Xie Lingxiao found a passage to a certain place in the darkness.

He waved his hand and used his spiritual power to summon flame illumination, followed the passage deeper, and after walking for some distance, a red light suddenly appeared on his left hand side.

Xie Lingxiao's eyes lit up, but he did not speed up his pace, but walked cautiously in the passage at an even speed.

When he took a closer look, he discovered that there was a small, low door on the left side of the light, and there were faint sounds of communication and footsteps coming from inside.

He got into the small door and looked sideways, and was stunned.

I saw that there was actually a cave inside the small door, but a street full of lights and dazzling things.

For a moment, Xie Lingxiao felt as if he was in the busiest night market instead of a dark and damp well.

Squatting beside the small door was a man who looked like the casual cultivator in the alley just now. He just glanced at Xie Lingxiao and ignored him.

Xie Lingxiao walked curiously towards the street and saw stalls lined up on both sides of the street, stretching into two long queues with no end in sight.It seems that Jie Xiu is very prosperous.

There is a lantern with yellow light hanging on each stall. On the stalls under the lanterns, there are various items, and there is a sign with the price on the back of each item.

Looking at the stall owners behind the stalls, they all looked indifferent and did not open their mouths to solicit business.

The current scene makes people feel as if they are on the road to hell, and these stall owners are the fierce ghosts.

Xie Lingxiao was not surprised because he heard Lao Zhang San say that this is another rule of the ghost market, no communication.

The magic weapon in the late stage of Qi mining realm [Red Fire Sword], fifty spirit stones.

The magic weapon of the late Qi mining realm [South Stone Shield], forty spirit stones.

Xie Lingxiao scanned it casually and found that the prices here were indeed about half cheaper than outside, but most of them were worn out, and some even had blood stains...

His purpose was clear, and he did not stop along the way, silently searching for the mountain-protecting formation.

Compared to magic weapons, formations, especially mountain-protecting formations, are extremely rare here.

But this is normal, because most of the things here were obtained by killing people and grabbing treasures on the path of robbery and repair. Who would go out with a mountain protection formation?

Finally, in front of a certain stall, Xie Lingxiao saw his target.

"The mountain-protecting formation [Liuhe Lihuo Formation] in the late stage of Qi mining realm, 77 spirit stones."

Xie Lingxiao breathed a sigh of relief, because he divided 120 of the two hundred spirit stones given by the third elder to Xie Lingquan and the other two to purchase necessary supplies, and he still had 86 spirit stones on his body.

The six spiritual stones among them are his own original cultivation qualifications.

Although he is a direct descendant, because he has been practicing in the mountains all year round, he does not have much cultivation qualifications, and most of them are used for cultivation.

Xie Lingxiao was not sure if there were other mountain protection formations in this large underground ghost market, because he had walked for nearly half an hour before he met such one.

In terms of price, it is also very suitable. A mountain-protecting formation of this level requires at least a hundred spiritual stones from the outside, which is about one-third cheaper.

Although I still don’t know the specific effects of this formation, there is nothing I can do about it. After all, this is a ghost market, not a regular market outside.

After hesitating for a moment, Xie Lingxiao finally walked towards the stall.

The stall owner didn't pay attention to Xie Lingxiao who was nearby. His covered face revealed only a pair of cold eyes, as if he couldn't see him.

Xie Lingxiao could only point to the mountain guard formation to signal to the stall owner.

The stall owner glanced at it and nodded.

Xie Lingxiao then took out the full amount of spirit stones and put them down, and took down the [Liuhe Lihuo Formation] composed of the array plate, four array flags, and various bits and pieces.

"It's just inconvenient not to have a Qiankun bag."

He sighed, put the box containing the formation under his arm, turned and left the stall.

Xie Lingxiao's purpose of this trip has been achieved, but because the things in this underground ghost market are so good and cheap, he couldn't help but curiously browse those stalls on the way back.

At this moment, his eyes suddenly brightened.

"The flying magic weapon [Spiritual Bamboo Dragonfly] in the early stage of Qi Gathering Realm, fifteen spiritual stones."

"I almost forgot about this..."

Since only the Qi Training Realm can control Qi flight, and even traveling long distances in the Qi Training Realm requires the use of flying magic weapons, only in the Foundation Establishment Realm can one truly come and go freely and carefree.

After they go to Lei Hongze in the Qi-gathering realm, their travel will cause great trouble. In their previous lives, their travel was greatly affected because they did not have flying magic weapons.

However, because the rules of the ghost market prohibit bargaining, Xie Lingxiao, who only had eight spiritual stones left on his body, could only regretfully prepare to move on.

Who would have thought that just as he was about to leave, the owner behind the stall actually lowered his voice and shouted impatiently: "Hey, fellow Taoist, wait a minute!"

Xie Lingxiao was stunned, wondering why the other party suddenly violated the rules of the ghost market and started communicating.
