Chapter 120 Preparations for the Ghost Market
Let these people think that the Demon Lord is just bored or has a sudden whim, so he came to inspect the forces.
The Ghost Market Leader in the Middle Spirit Realm wasn't qualified to contact the Ghost Lord directly, so Su Yu found a restaurant, booked two rooms, and sent Qiu Yin to wash up and change clothes. He stayed in his own room and randomly picked a Ghost Market Leader in the Upper Spirit Realm to send a message.
Su Yu contacted He Zhuangzhi, the head of the Ghost Market in Qingyang Domain.
Although the shrewd commander was somewhat puzzled as to what the Ghost Lord was doing in that barren Central Spirit Realm, he didn't ask any further questions and simply complied with the Ghost Lord's orders.
After ending the communication, he immediately contacted Shen Qi, the leader of the largest ghost market in the Central Spirit Realm, to make sure that preparations were made to welcome the Ghost Lord. He also repeatedly instructed the Ghost Lord not to be ostentatious and to keep a low profile while not lowering the Ghost Lord's quality of life.
After saying this, He Zhuangzhi thought that no matter what, the treasures in the Middle Spirit Realm were still not as good as those in the Upper Spirit Realm, so he simply transferred another batch of supplies to the Lower Spirit Realm for the Ghost Lord to use.
The leaders of the Middle Spirit Realm and the Lower Spirit Realm are all pure humans, but the chief leaders all know that the Ghost Market originated from the Demon Realm. However, the Ghost Market never participates in any disputes and only cares about money. These chief leaders also know more about the Demon Realm than ordinary people. As long as the Ghost Market does not do anything to fund the Demon Realm's attack on the Spirit Realm and remains neutral, these chief leaders will do their jobs obediently.
"Knock knock—"
After Su Yu put away the communication stone used in the Ghost Market, there was a sudden knock on the door.
He opened the door, and there stood Qiu Yin, who had finished tidying himself up.
He had combed up his disheveled hair, revealing a handsome face with a slightly wicked air, which certainly didn't look like a good person.
Upon seeing Su Yu, he looked up and asked with a hint of nervousness, "I'm all packed. What's next?"
"Wait," Su Yu said, lowering her eyes, "Go and get some rest."
Then he handed Qiu Yinyi a storage bag full of spirit stones: "Pocket money. Buy whatever you want when you go out to play, just don't go too far."
"...Yes." Qiu Yin accepted the money bag with a flattered expression, but he didn't know what to wait for. He went back with some trepidation. What was he waiting for? Could it be that the demons had accomplices and the spirit realm had been infiltrated by the demons?
Su Yu tricked the child away, put on the Ghost Lord mask, and then lay down to sleep.
He was still a little dizzy from using the system's teleportation too many times in a row and needed to rest.
The next afternoon, people from the ghost market came to their door.
Su Yu was taking a nap when she noticed someone climbing through the window. She sat up, her eyes half-open, and gestured to dismiss the three people's respectful greetings.
It's no wonder he was so relaxed; there were very few people in this spirit realm who could rival him, and they were mostly ancient ancestors who rarely appeared in the world.
The man at the head bowed respectfully and said, "Luo Dong, the deputy leader of Fansu Ghost Market, greets the Ghost Lord. Because Leader Shen Qi is in the secret realm and could not arrive in time, I have come to greet him. Once Leader Shen Qi leaves the secret realm, he will come to apologize to you."
“Hmm,” Su Yu said coldly, “Take the child from the next room to the Ghost Market as well. Once Shen Qi comes out, he will know what to do.”
Luo Dong replied without any change in expression, "Yes."
"The Fansu Ghost Market has prepared your accommodation and is ready to welcome you at any time."
"Then let's go."
The Fansu Ghost Market is naturally located within Fansu City, a large city situated in the central region of the Four Academies. Due to its well-equipped teleportation arrays, smooth trade, and large flow of people, it is an extremely prosperous and wealthy city, just like its name suggests.
At the same time, it is also the viewing location for the projection stone of the Four Academies and Eight Sects Grand Competition, and the high-ranking officials of the various invited forces will watch the competition here.
Of course, the official name of this competition of the Four Academies and Eight Sects is not so simple and crude. It is called the Path Competition, which allows disciples of other small forces and independent cultivators to participate. It is held once every fifteen years and is limited to cultivators under the age of one hundred. The top one hundred people receive generous prizes, and other participants also receive prizes of varying weight according to their ranking.
In addition, the top twenty finalists will be qualified to go to the Upper Spirit Realm. Of course, no one else will know about this qualification except for the final twenty winners.
This grand competition is Su Yao's opportunity to travel to the Upper Spirit Realm.
There are still three months until the competition begins, and Su Yao should still be receiving pre-competition training at the academy.
However, it's perfectly normal for any protagonist to be so honest; sneaking out to get resources that are more suitable for them or causing some trouble is all too common.
Once Su Yu arrived at the luxurious residence prepared for him in Fan Su Ghost Market, he stayed inside and refused to come out.
Three days after he arrived at the Ghost Market, Shen Qi, the captain, rushed back as fast as he could. After apologizing to the Ghost Lord, he took on a new task: to cleanse the human bloodline of the half-human, half-demon hybrid and to teach the little devil.
Although the meridian pathways of human and demon races are not quite the same, and he is not a demon, he obtained demon race cultivation techniques and a number of high-grade demon stones from the Ghost Lord. After he taught Qiu Yin to read and write, Qiu Yin should be able to learn on his own. The demonic energy supplied by these high-grade demon stones is also quite abundant.
After handing Qiu Yin over to Shen Qi, Su Yu stayed in his room frantically checking his sister Su Yao's recent schedule with the system.
After all, he couldn't just sneak into the school without a reason, otherwise he wouldn't be able to come up with a reason, which would clearly mean that he already knew about Su Yao's situation.
The logical fallacy was too obvious, so Su Yu had no choice but to arrange a chance encounter with Su Yao when she left the academy.
Then, eight days later, they discovered that after eight consecutive days of seclusion in the special training room, his sister had finally... Su Yao was planning to leave the academy to find evolution materials for her natal magic weapon!
Although Su Yu was pleased with A Yao's hard work in cultivation, after eight days of watching the protagonist's log inside the system, she was finally going out!
The system's tiny aperture bounced around excitedly, celebrating its final liberation:
Su Yu pressed the small aperture button.
These are all materials for refining high-grade Earth-rank magic weapons, and can even be used for low-grade Heaven-rank ones.
Su Yu was pleased with his younger sister's growth, but also a little frustrated, as he couldn't watch A Yao grow up with his own eyes.
Su Yu lowered her eyes and gently tapped the system's small, sphere-like body.
As a first-prize winner, the Meteorite Crimson Crystal is considered quite qualified in the Spirit Realm.
System Xiaoqi is acting a little strange:
