Most of the ghosts in the ghost market seem rather abnormal.
Of course they'd all become ghosts; it would be strange if they were perfectly normal.
Although the old man who called out to Yang Cheng was also not normal, he seemed to be able to communicate normally.
Yang Cheng squatted down in front of the old man's stall and asked, "Besides using ghost money, what else can be used to trade in this ghost market?"
The old man, with his hands tucked into his sleeves, chuckled and said, "There are plenty of things that can be traded, such as your arms, legs, eyes, ears, any part of your body can be traded, even your lifespan."
Yang Cheng suddenly asked, "Can we use someone else's?"
The old man gave Yang Cheng a deep look and said, "Of course you can, but young man, your mind is more cunning than a ghost's."
Yang Cheng said calmly, "Ghosts are all transformed from humans. No matter how poisonous a ghost's heart is, how could it be more poisonous than a human heart?"
"Sir, what are you selling? I didn't see you displaying anything."
The other ghosts' stalls all had some items displayed in front of them, but this old man's stall was completely empty.
The paper figure in front of him was also empty, but that person sold himself. Could this old man also be selling himself?
The old man said, "People in the ghost market call me Old Yang. I'm a broker in the brokerage business."
Young man, the things in this ghost market are a deep well of trouble. There are some things you have to buy once you ask the price, or you'll be in big trouble.
There are also some things that look good, but when you actually buy them, the side effects might be beyond your imagination.
"If you trust me, I can take you to pick out some good things, but you'll have to give this old man some payment."
Yang Cheng pondered for a moment and then asked, "How much compensation do you want, sir?"
There were indeed many things in the ghost market, and he couldn't touch or explore them at will, so he wasn't sure what to buy. He couldn't possibly buy a piece of human flesh, could he?
So as long as Old Man Li's price is reasonable, asking him to help you choose is a good option.
Old Man Li held up a finger and shook it, saying, "I'm an honest old man, I only ask for a hundred ghost coins or a person, but it has to be a living person."
Yang Cheng took out the thousand-fold ghost money and said, "Deal, but do you have change?"
Old Li chuckled: "That's not how you use ghost money."
As he spoke, Old Man Li gently sniffed the ghost coin, and the red markings on it diminished.
Yang Cheng looked again and saw that the ghost money had changed from one thousand units to nine hundred units.
"Guest, how many pieces of ghost money would you like to buy? What will you use them for? I'll try my best to pick out the best for you."
Yang Cheng said, "At most 980 Ghost Coins. As for where to use them, they are mainly for increasing one's own strength, and secondly for increasing combat power."
"Understood, please follow me, guest."
Old Man Li led Yang Cheng to a woman who was completely covered by a black robe. The woman's head was even covered by a black veil, with only her two bloodless, pale hands showing.
"These ghost hands are worth 800 ghost coins plus your hands, sir."
By simply removing one's own hands and attaching these ghostly hands, one can remotely extract a person's internal organs.
However, you might not get any internal organs each time; it can be used once every ten minutes.
Upon hearing this, Yang Cheng shook his head immediately.
The ability to remove a person's internal organs from a distance is indeed extremely sinister. If one could remove the other person's heart, it could even instantly kill them.
However, the price is that he has to replace his own hands, which would mean that his powerful physical cultivation would also be ruined.
Moreover, it's not always possible to remove the other person's heart. What if you take the appendix instead? You'd essentially be performing a non-invasive surgery on the other person.
Therefore, this thing is definitely worth a gamble for ordinary reincarnators who don't have any killer moves, but for Yang Cheng, it does more harm than good.
Old Li shook his head and said, "Sir, you still don't have enough ghost money. Things that enhance your strength are not cheap, and some cheap ones are definitely not worth your money."
"It doesn't matter. I can replace it with other things that increase combat power. I'll come back to this ghost market again in the future."
"That makes things easier."
Old Man Li led Yang Cheng forward until they were almost at the exit of the Ghost Market, where they came to an old man with a Qing Dynasty-style queue.
The old man looked ordinary, but a strong smell of blood could be smelled when you got closer.
He was wearing a red mandarin jacket, but upon closer inspection, it was clear that the flesh of his upper body had been hollowed out, and inside the jacket was a skeleton with scarlet internal organs!
The old man's stall displayed only one item: a broken knife, its blade covered in dark red grime, exuding a menacing aura.
"This old man is called Liu Yidao, and he was an executioner in the late Qing Dynasty."
The Qing Dynasty was overthrown, and killings were changed to execution by firing squad. This old guy was completely useless and could only go to the south of the city to clean up pig offal.
Later, something unexpected happened, and the old man was slowly sliced to death, and the executioner's blade broke off.
Although the knife is broken, the Blood-Devouring Blade Spirit inside remains.
The Blood Devouring Blade Soul can be integrated into any weapon, and during combat it can devour the opponent's flesh and blood. The more it devours, the stronger the effect.
However, this thing shouldn't be allowed to eat too much, otherwise the Blood Demon might awaken and devour its master.
"That old fellow is very stubborn; he's asking for a thousand ghost coins. If you're sure you want it, I'll try to negotiate with him."
After a moment's thought, Yang Cheng nodded and said, "I'll take this."
Yang Cheng used the Imperial Guard Saber quite skillfully, thanks to the support of the Xinyou Saber Technique.
