Because Dongfang Mian bought a lot, Wang Mazi not only gave them a map, but also specially led them to the intersection of the Ghost Market and the Treasure Cave.
“Sir, look at these two roads. The one on the left leads to the Ghost Market, and the one on the right leads to the Treasure Cave. I’ll take you here. If you need anything, please let me know,” Wang Mazi said.
After Wang Mazi left, Dongfang Mian and the others discussed it and decided to go to the Ghost Market first. After all, if the artifact fragments had already appeared, they should be sold on the market. If the Ghost Market didn't have them, they would have to search for them one by one at each treasure cave.
With the beads they bought from Wang Mazi, Dongfang Mian and the others successfully entered the Ghost Market. The bustling scene before them upon entering the Ghost Market made them feel as if they had returned to the Ancient Domain or the Medicine Domain.
"A-Mian, is this what you meant by sparsely populated?" A-Ju asked, winking.
Dongfang Mian rolled her eyes at him and started strolling around the market. The entire Ghost Market was enormous, but fortunately it was divided into specific sections: pills, weapons, divine beasts, souls, and mystical items.
The first four areas are easy to understand, while the mysterious area is similar to a gambling site, where items that are wrapped or sealed are sold. No one knows what they are until they are opened, and what you get depends entirely on luck.
Although Aju was eager to try her luck in the Mysterious Zone, Dongfang Mian decided to go to the Weapon Zone first, since their only goal for this trip was to get the artifact fragments.
After entering the weapons area, the roadside was lined with countless small stalls. Some stalls displayed more than a dozen weapons, while others simply placed a rag in a corner and threw on a weapon that Dongfang Mian had never seen before before, then closed their eyes to rest, seemingly not caring whether they could make a sale.
At the far end of the road, you can see one or two houses, which must be the shops in the ghost market that Wang Mazi mentioned. According to him, only important figures in the ghost realm can open such shops.
Dongfang Mian and his companions started by searching the small stalls, where they found many rare and unusual items they had never seen before.
As Ah Ju passed by a man in tattered clothes' stall, she became interested in a skull on display and wanted to touch it. Just as she was about to reach out, the man opened his eyes and said, "Don't touch it, be careful, it can bite."
Aju jerked back his hand. He wasn't afraid the skull would suddenly bite him, but rather the person who suddenly grinned with a mouthful of yellow teeth and a wicked smile, warning him.
Aju quietly tugged at Dongfang Mian's hair and whispered, "Let's go quickly."
After walking half a street, Ah Ju realized that this ghost realm was not a place for normal people. Anyone who could survive in such a place for a long time must be sick.
They quickly searched most of the street, but still found nothing.
Does this mean the artifact fragments haven't been discovered yet?
Although the fragments of the divine artifact can be combined to form a powerful weapon, only Yan Lin knows how to use it. To others, it is just a decorative short sword with no practical use. Therefore, Dongfang Mian does not believe that anyone would collect such a thing as a treasure.
After walking to the end of the street and even past two shops, at the very end of the street, in the window of the last shop, Dongfang Mian immediately spotted the artifact fragment lying quietly there, inlaid with brown crystals.
The group excitedly pushed open the door and entered. Dongfang Mian pointed to the fragment of the divine artifact and said generously, "Boss, wrap this up for me."
