Chapter 233: There is a
On the bustling street, there were all kinds of stalls. Most of the places next to the city gate were places for food, inns, restaurants, and song and dance workshops.
Whether it was clothing or architecture... this place was somewhat between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Luo Sha Kingdom, as if entering a foreign city that combined both.
Listening to what the monk Wu Jie said before, the ghost market city was not equal to the ghost market. To enter the ghost market, you needed to buy an admission ticket. The cost was not high, and ordinary people could afford it.
After asking about the direction, Lv Fang arrived in front of the City Lord's Mansion in the center of the ghost market city, bought an admission ticket there, and was guided into a teleportation array.
This teleportation array sent him to a very small empty room. Rooms like this were countless in the ghost market.
It was for people who came in to buy and sell to disguise and change their appearance. After buying or selling the heavenly materials and earthly treasures on their bodies, they could find an empty room to remove their disguise and use the admission ticket to teleport back to a special empty room in the ghost market city.
These teleportations were random, so the buying and selling in the ghost market was very safe.
Because no one knew who bought what or sold what in the ghost market.
This time, Lv Fang did not use the extraordinary power "Deceiving the Heavens and Crossing the Sea" to disguise himself, but casually took a Luo Sha mask from his storage bag and put it on his face, and changed into a white long robe before walking out of the empty room.
After walking a few steps, he saw people coming out of the empty rooms one after another, mostly covering their faces with masks, coming and going in a hurry.
The area of the empty rooms would change at any time.
So it also prevented people with ulterior motives from guarding outside the empty rooms and judging a person's entry and exit from the ghost market by time.
Some people would also wait in the empty room for a period of time just in case before coming out. In this way, it was even harder to tell who was who.
After walking for a full quarter of an hour, Lv Fang finally walked out of the area of the empty rooms. Arriving on the street, he saw shouting vendors everywhere.
Different from other places, there were no large trading houses or auctions here. Basically, they were shops and stalls on both sides of the road.
The things sold here were very mixed. As long as you bought a stall fee, you could be given a small stall to sell the heavenly materials and earthly treasures obtained in the scorched earth area.
Lv Fang didn't want to sell any sundries. He threw the things he couldn't use to the Invincible Army side. Otherwise, renting a stall here to sell felt quite good.
Walking and looking, he found that several rows of shops were written with the seal of the Shen family. It seemed that Shen Kangbo had done business here too.
After having the commercial section of the Great Zhou Literary Newspaper as an advertisement, Shen Kangbo's business was already very famous in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a household name.
Lv Fang smiled and shook his head, walked into the largest Shen family sundries shop nearby, and when he saw the shop assistant coming to greet him, he whispered a secret code.
Hearing this, the shop assistant smiled and said: "Distinguished guest, please come to the elegant room here."
After bringing Lv Fang into an elegant room, the shop assistant said softly: "Distinguished guest, please wait here for a moment. I will go and invite the shopkeeper."
Lv Fang nodded. He did not take off the mask on his face. When Shen Kangbo gave him the secret code, he told him that no one knew this secret code was him.
He also told him that the authority of this secret code was very large.
Lv Fang had used it for intelligence before, and today he planned to try to see how large this authority really was.
He didn't wait long.
A ghost cultivator woman in her thirties, dressed in wealth, came gracefully. As soon as she saw Lv Fang, she bowed and said: "Distinguished guest, you have been waiting for a long time. I am Shen Yue, the person in charge of the Shen family in the ghost market city. I don't know what I can do to help you."
"Shen Yue?" Lv Fang raised his eyebrows and said: "Are you from the Shen family?"
Shen Yue nodded and explained: "I am considered a distant collateral branch of the Shen family. Because of a coincidence, I became a ghost cultivator, so the people above let me be responsible for business matters here."
After a pause, she suddenly said: "Does the distinguished guest's name have a 'Marquis' character?"
"'Marquis' character?" Lv Fang frowned and looked at Shen Yue in front of him, a look of displeasure appearing on his face. This Shen Kangbo was really unreliable. Didn't he say that as long as he didn't say it, no one would know his identity?
Although the character "Marquis" was not his name, Marquis Wenguan occupied one "Marquis".
He didn't believe that all this was a coincidence.
If so, why let people from the Shen family tell him the updated secret code every period of time, and say that this could protect his identity from being known by others?
Seeing Lv Fang's expression, Shen Yue immediately understood his thoughts and waved her hands to explain: "I don't know the identity of the distinguished guest. It's just that a while ago, a pair of master and apprentice came to the shop and said that recently a distinguished guest wearing a Luo Sha mask might come."
"They also said that if you came, let me notify that old Daoist."
"Because the secret code identity of that old Daoist is very noble, I was in a dilemma, so he told me that when the time comes, as long as I tell you that there is a 'Marquis' character in your name, whether you are willing to meet him or not depends on your meaning."
"Old Daoist?" Lv Fang thought for a moment and tested: "Does the old Daoist have a female apprentice who is a martial cultivator?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Shen Yue nodded repeatedly and added: "That old Daoist is dressed in rags, and his female apprentice is dressed as a man, but she is dressed very decently."
"It should be correct." Lv Fang smiled: "Later, you tell me where they live, and I will go find them myself."
People with this combination were still people he knew.
It should be the Heavenly Mystery Daoist and Shen Xiaxuan he had met before. This prophet of the human race had actually come to the ghost market and specifically came to find him. He didn't know what it was for.
Lv Fang shook his head and blocked these distracting thoughts. He took the Hard Stone out of his storage bag and said to Shen Yue: "You look at this ore first. Have you seen it in the ghost market?"
Shen Yue carefully took the Hard Stone and observed it for a while, saying: "No, but the things that can enter my hands are generally high-rank heavenly materials and earthly treasures. There are very few strange ores like this."
"If the distinguished guest is willing, I will mobilize everyone now to inquire about the news of this kind of ore."
Lv Fang thought for a while and said: "That's not necessary. I just saw in an ancient book when refining a supreme treasure that using this kind of ore to refine a supreme treasure is more solid. I have heard in other places that someone sold this kind of ore at a stall here. You let trusted people investigate secretly."
"Also, you make up a reason to help me collect this kind of ore."
"If possible, it is best to get where this kind of ore was obtained. Remember, collect as much of this kind of ore as there is. I need quite a lot." ===== CHAPTER 234 =====
