Chapter 91: Become Their Puppet

Lin Yu had grown up in Miao Street since he was a child and had long been accustomed to the strange sights here.

After walking into the Ghost Market, the originally quiet street instantly became bustling.

The signs that were in simplified Chinese during the day were all replaced with traditional Chinese characters at night.

This place was not only a trading place for people in the Xuanmen but also where many old Chinese medicine practitioners came to purchase medicinal materials.

"Ghost souls from the Guangxu period, selling cheap!"

"Southern Song Dynasty jujube wood compass, 700,000." Listening to the hawking of street vendors, Lin Yu knew that most of these so-called antiques were fakes.

Only he, who grew up in the Ghost Market, could distinguish which were the real treasures.

In this place, the real and the fake were intertwined, making people dazzled.

Over the past hundred years, the rare resources between heaven and earth had gradually become scarce, leading to the current situation.

Lin Yu could hardly imagine the grand occasion of a hundred years ago when it was full of real items.

You must know that the several spirit medicines he needed to refine the Life-Prolonging Pill before were all things that several top wealthy people spent over 100 million to obtain.

Stepping into the Ghost Market again after two years, Lin Yu felt a thousand emotions in his heart.

With the population explosion, how many people could still live in seclusion in the deep mountains to cultivate those precious medicinal materials? And how many people knew how to plant these spirit herbs and spirit medicines?

It could be said that Xuanmen, Xuan medicine, Chinese medicine, and even ancient martial arts had almost been lost in modern society.

This was also one of the reasons why the government's high-level officials attached such importance to Hanfang Pharmaceutical's investment in the country.

The great Chinese civilization, many heritages had been cut off, which was truly worrying.

Fortunately, the Lin family where Lin Yu belonged had retained most of the Xuan medicine heritage. "Oh my, isn't this Little Master Lin? It's been several years, right?"

A black fatty figure greeted Lin Yu enthusiastically, handing over a crimson spirit mushroom and asking.

Lin Yu also smiled, "Xie Pangzi, what kind of treasure is this?"

Xie Pangzi looked around mysteriously and whispered: "Coffin Awei."

Lin Yu listened and carefully examined the crimson spirit mushroom. The spirit mushroom was completely red, faintly revealing seven-colored light, and it was actually a real blood spirit mushroom.

Because the blood spirit mushroom only grows inside a coffin, and the best ones need to be parasitic on a corpse, it is also known as "Coffin Awei."

Legend has it that its growth conditions are extremely harsh: the deceased must be an unmarried girl who died suddenly; at the same time, she must be buried in a Feng Shui treasure land to ensure it doesn't rot for decades.

When digging, the blood spirit mushroom and the corpse must appear together, neither can be missing.

Since ancient times, the blood spirit mushroom has been an extremely rare treasure of heaven and earth, with the effects of nourishing heart Qi, calming the mind, and relieving depression, having miraculous effects on critically ill patients, and is also an indispensable spirit medicine for many famous pill formulas.

Based on experience, Lin Yu felt that this blood spirit mushroom should be real.

Xie Pangzi smiled and extended two fingers, "Little Master Lin, you can take it away for this number."

"200,000?" Lin Yu asked softly, his hand already touching the blood spirit mushroom.

Just as he was preparing to pay, a strange voice interrupted them.

"What a precious blood spirit mushroom, I am willing to pay 3 million to buy it."

No sooner had the words been spoken than a man wearing a peculiar long gown and holding a folding fan stepped forward.

Seeing this person, Lin Yu couldn't help but flash a trace of anger, because this person's attire was exactly the same as that of a Neon country Onmyoji.

The few people following him were also dressed strangely and appeared extremely arrogant, not putting anyone in Miao Street in their eyes at all.

Tanaka Yu, who had been expelled from Zhongcaotang before, followed closely behind, and when he saw the blood spirit mushroom, he commented with disdain: "Such a rare medicinal material, leaving it in the hands of these so-called 'experts' in Huaxia is simply a waste."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Miao Street instantly became silent, and everyone cast their gazes over. However, this silence was soon broken, and the Ghost Market became bustling again.

Ridicule came from the crowd, "I thought it was some sacred figure, turns out to be a few Japanese slaves."

"Two years ago, a Japanese slave also came, and ended up offending the people of the Tang Sect, finally meeting a tragic end."

Hearing these discussions, Tanaka Yu's face became gloomy.

Recalling the investment failure case of Hanfang Pharmaceutical in the provincial capital with Lin Yu, and the fact that Sada, who was responsible for the negotiation, finally died in Huaxia, all of this made him have lingering fears.

Especially the matter of Sada attempting to assassinate an important figure in Huaxia but failing, which made him remember it even more clearly.

After learning these secret stories, Lin Yu was also very surprised. Xie Pangzi, after recognizing that these people were Neon country people, his smile disappeared instantly, and he put away the blood spirit mushroom.

"My medicinal materials, even if fed to dogs, will not be sold to you." He said to the Onmyoji holding the fan.

The other party was stunned for a moment, but didn't get angry, instead laughing: "I, Tianpei Bangyan, want something, and there is nothing I haven't obtained."

Xie Pangzi smiled proudly, suddenly handed the blood spirit mushroom to Lin Yu: "Little Master Lin, this treasure is given to you. In the future, if you can refine it successfully, please be sure to share a few pills with me."

After saying this, he also looked at those Neon people provocatively and spat at them: "Pah, if you have the ability, snatch it from Little Master Lin."

Lin Yu's expression suddenly became serious; Xie Pangzi actually wanted to use him to block disaster.

At this time, Tianpei Bangyan also noticed Lin Yu and asked with a smile: "I am still willing to pay the price just now, have you considered selling it?"

Lin Yu didn't expect the other party to be so persistent about the blood spirit mushroom, and responded coldly: "Sorry, I'm not selling." After saying that, he prepared to leave.

But in the moment of turning around, he unexpectedly discovered a familiar figure in the crowd; it was Zhou Min!

However, Zhou Min's eyes were empty, as if he were controlled by some power, following behind someone like a wooden puppet.

Among the two big men standing beside Zhou Min, one had an obvious tattoo on his arm.

Lin Yu took out the blood spirit mushroom and said to Tianpei Bangyan: "I can give this thing to you."

Tianpei Bangyan laughed with interest: "Have you figured it out? There is a 3 million check here..."

However, Lin Yu waved his hand to refuse the money, "I don't want money."

Tianpei Bangyan looked confused: "Then what do you want?"

Lin Yu pointed at Zhou Min and said: "I want this person to go with me." As soon as these words were spoken, Tianpei Bangyan's expression changed drastically.

Tanaka Yu shouted angrily: "Bold, this is Tianpei-sensei's Shikigami."

Hearing the word "Shikigami," Lin Yu frowned.

Legend has it that these so-called "Shikigami" are actually hypnotized people, controlled by Neon country Onmyoji through special means.

Thus, Lin Yu pretended to compromise, put away the blood spirit mushroom, and said: "If it doesn't work, forget it."

Tianpei Bangyan hurriedly tried to keep him: "I can add it to 10 million, please consider it."

But Lin Yu insisted from beginning to end: "As long as your Shikigami goes with me for a trip, if you agree, the blood spirit mushroom will be yours."

Inside, however, he was filled with anger, because these people actually dared to turn Zhou Min into their puppet.

Finally, Tianpei Bangyan agreed: "This is a 3 million check, put it on my Shikigami. After completion, you keep the check, and hand the blood spirit mushroom to the Shikigami, and he will bring it back." ===== CHAPTER 92 =====
