Chapter 75: Ghost Market



Because the west of the city was not very far away, they arrived there quickly. The ghost market that Zhang Ping mentioned was located between the area where the nobles lived and the area where the common people lived. With such a geographical location, it was no wonder that there were all kinds of people here.

Entering the Ghost Market is also very simple. One person only needs to pay three gold soul coins. This threshold is much lower than Si Yun imagined. Moreover, there are many people in the Ghost Market wearing masks, so they are not so conspicuous.

"Young Master, is there anything you like?" Zhang Ping leaned close to Si Yun's ear and said while blowing air into it.

"No, the things here are very ordinary. I haven't seen any treasures worth buying yet."

Facing Zhang Ping's teasing, Si Yun behaved calmly. This was the character setting that the two of them had agreed upon. From now on, when they put on masks outside, Si Yun's identity would be the aloof young master, while Zhang Ping would play the role of a courtesan.

As for why Zhang Ping assigned herself such a role, it was mainly because when the two of them were outside, Zhang Ping would definitely have to take action in most battle situations. After all, Si Yun's martial soul recognition was too high, while Zhang Ping's martial soul had not been exposed yet.

That's why Zhang Ping played a role that was completely opposite to his usual personality. However, Si Yun vaguely felt that Zhang Ping seemed to enjoy it, as if this was his nature.

"Oh~ There's nothing that the young master likes. Then let's look around a little more. The ghost market is huge and we haven't finished exploring yet~"

"Um."

Normally, he had never been so close to Zhang Ping, and he was rarely teased like this. Si Yun could even clearly smell the fragrance coming from her body. Human instinct made his body temperature rise rapidly. He tried not to smell it, but he couldn't. As soon as he breathed in, the fragrance from Zhang Ping rushed into his nose. Si Yun felt an unprecedented crisis. If he continued, would he faint from a high body temperature, or would he increase his immunity to beauty?

After thinking about it, Si Yun felt that this was a test from God. As a small leader of the Spirit Hall, how could he not be able to withstand such a test!

Not long after, a stall attracted Si Yun's attention. Without any hesitation, Si Yun walked straight towards the stall, but before he took two steps, he was grabbed by the shoulder by the waitress beside him.

Si Yun turned his head and said, "What are you doing? This young master has taken a fancy to a beautiful treasure, and you dare to stop me?"

"Young Master, ask yourself, have you seen a good treasure?" Zhang Ping was very angry when she saw the beautiful stall owner who was surrounded by a group of men not far ahead, wearing cool clothes and with two big white buns.

"Hey, I was mistaken just now. Let's go to the shop in front. It seems to be doing good business."

Si Yun quickly broke free from his restraints and walked towards the shop in front. Anyone who could open a shop in such a place must be a person with certain abilities. The things inside were indeed much more reliable than those stalls outside.

Seeing Si Yun's back, Zhang Ping hurriedly followed. Although she was still angry, she had not forgotten her duties.

However, halfway through the walk, Si Yun saw a few skinny guys in an alley not far away, smoking golden powder with a look of satisfaction. He recognized this powder, the powder of the Albizia Julibrissin. Although Dongfang Yan and most of his men had been arrested, the contraband they had sold before was still circulating in the ghost market. Moreover, Dongfang Yan and his men might not be the only ones involved in the Albizia Julibrissin business.

However, he just took a look and ignored it. He didn't have the extra energy to deal with the affairs of the Ghost Market. This should be left to Xingluo Country itself. He only needed to manage the Spirit Hall well.

As soon as the two of them walked into the store, a clerk came over to greet them.

Seeing the two people's expressions, the waiter quickly said, "Is this your first time in the ghost market?"

Hearing the other party's words, the cause of death was not surprised. He could see that, but he did not give a direct answer: "Don't ask things that you shouldn't ask."

"Yes, yes, I'm sorry for being so nosy, but I see you two haven't been to our shop before. How about I introduce you to some of our specialties?"

"Then tell me about it~ and see if you can attract our young master~" Zhang Ping said in a delicate voice, which made Si Yun feel cold on his back. If his skin was not exposed, he could find that he had goose bumps. He seriously suspected that it was because he wanted to go to see the beautiful woman's stall...treasures just now, and Zhang Ping wanted to take revenge on him, so she spoke in such a voice.

But he still forced himself to endure it and accepted the voice. As long as he was not embarrassed, others would be embarrassed.

The shop assistant in front of him was quite experienced and had seen all kinds of people, so he didn't say anything about Zhang Ping's delicate appearance. He just continued to introduce, "The specialty of our shop is that we mainly sell various herbs that are good for the body. After eating, they can strengthen the body. Some can even increase soul power. We have all kinds of herbs. See if you need anything."

"Sounds ordinary too, doesn't it? Is there anything special about your store?"

"Of course there are special ones, Miss. Our store has a can opening event. Each can contains herbs of different prices. 100 gold soul coins can open a can. If you are interested, would you like to try it?"

Hearing this, Si Yun became a little more interested. They were just opening blind boxes? This shop was quite good at doing business and knew how to take advantage of people's gambling mentality.

"Hey, hey, hey, it's too expensive to open a jar here. It costs 100 gold soul coins to open a jar." Zhang Ping said a little unhappily.

"Don't worry, Miss. Someone once opened a Dragon Heart Grass worth hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins in our jar. Moreover, there are many herbs in our jar that are even more precious than Dragon Heart Grass. If you can open one, you will definitely not be ashamed. Do you want to give it a try?"

Hearing this, Zhang Ping glanced at Si Yun, and Si Yun nodded slightly.

"Then take us to see it."

"Okay, okay, both of you follow me."

As he spoke, the waiter led the two of them into the store. The space inside the store was larger than they had imagined. After they came in, they saw many people selecting jars, and there were thousands of unopened ceramic jars in front of them.

Looking at these ceramic jars, Si Yun quickly discovered something wrong. These ceramic jars seemed to have some special materials inside that could block the prying of soul power, making it impossible for people to use soul power to see what was inside.

However, it seems that he cannot isolate himself from the senses, because after his head evolved, every time he fights with someone, he can feel the energy emitted from the other person and check the approximate energy level of the other person. The higher the level of the person, the more amazing the energy emitted from their body.
