votes, and other support!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>————————————\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike a normal market, in the black market, Gu Xi maintained a stern face, not wanting to be seen as a novice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For things he didn't understand or felt unsure about judging, Gu Xi simply avoided them, refusing to be tricked here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Gu Xi was selecting items related to the undead and death spirits, and since he was buying low-quality seeds in bulk,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the merchants initially surrounding him with various spirit plants quickly dispersed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some even glanced at Gu Xi from afar and didn't bother him further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To them, the items Gu Xi bought were the kinds usually given away as freebies, essentially worthless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, one merchant who deals in large quantities was quite pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because what Gu Xi wanted was exactly what he sold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This merchant sold Gu Xi 300 kilograms of seeds at a very low price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seeds included a variety of species and types.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A full 300 kilograms, if a normal person were to classify them, it might take years to find anything worthwhile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like selling copper coins by the ton in an antique market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone knows there might be some valuable items inside, but no one would verify them piece by piece.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This merchant thought the same way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He packaged everything and sold it to Gu Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether Gu Xi could pick out any spirit plant seeds was beyond his concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Gu Xi bought them because he felt a strong life force within this large pile of seeds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was uncertain what kinds of seeds they were, one thing was certain: they would definitely grow when taken back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for classifying these seeds, it's not a difficult task, the White Impermanence of the Ghost Squad could handle it easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, both Gu Xi and the merchant were quite satisfied with this transaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The merchant even discreetly told Gu Xi where to find better saplings, allowing Gu Xi to buy some high-quality ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike spirit seeds, there is no uncertainty involved with saplings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One can immediately see the type and quality of a sapling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi didn't choose any rare saplings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when he saw high-quality World Tree saplings, Gu Xi wasn't tempted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he selected a large quantity that met his needs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Gu Xi didn't choose peach trees like before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His aim this time was solely to raise ghosts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi's objective for the saplings was simple, just like the Blood Maple in the magic plant district.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The goal was to rapidly gather Yin Qi in the city and attract a large number of undead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It happened that in the black market, there were some unsellable saplings,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi took a glance, found them suitable, and purchased all of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the sapling care manual to cultivate tree-men provided by the seller, Gu Xi didn't take it at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi knew well that these saplings wouldn't have a chance to transform into tree-men in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Growing them honestly was the most suitable for Gu Xi's current needs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this, Gu Xi bought over a hundred saplings, all of which were types like locust, willow, pine, and cypress, with relatively high quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most important part was that since Gu Xi didn't choose any top-grade saplings like Vermilion Fruit, the price wasn't too high, and the seller even gave a discount to Gu Xi, wanting such a customer to return in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides saplings, Gu Xi also purchased some mushroom spores and special plant seeds, like vines and herbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just one round, Gu Xi acquired a large quantity of desired items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The best part was these items were quite cheap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sending the purchased items back to Yalidu City and having Luna plant them in the magic plant district, Gu Xi headed to another building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This building was the place the black-robed man mentioned, where some stolen goods were sold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for calling it archaeology publicly, Gu Xi knew right away what it meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Archaeology\" was essentially grave robbing, something Gu Xi had seen many times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he held some expectations for the goods brought out by this archaeology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he wasn't disappointed by the archaeological merchants here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The items they presented made Gu Xi's eyes light up, and they responded to some of Gu Xi's requests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Customer, are you looking for some bodies?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he turned a half circle around the building, a black market merchant proactively approached Gu Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bodies are truly contraband; it's not very convenient to talk here. Would you care to step aside?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi glanced at the black market merchant and noticed a faint corpse Qi on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he weren't an Undead Mage, an ordinary person would never sense this corpse Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This alone confirmed they had what Gu Xi wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Gu Xi nodded to the black market merchant and followed him to the basement below the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they led the way, the black market merchant was also probing information about Gu Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But following the principle that the more you say, the more mistakes you could make; the less you say, the fewer errors there could be; and saying nothing is best, Gu Xi remained silent whenever possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black market merchant couldn't extract any unique information from Gu Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering the basement, Gu Xi discovered the scale of the black market merchant's business was immense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half of the basement floor was occupied by the black market merchant, with numerous corpses of all sizes stored here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at a glance, Gu Xi knew these corpses were not initially meant for sale to an Undead Mage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the corpses were animals, processed primarily for extracting bones and flesh for consumption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before him, a decomposed large serpent was obviously intended for making snake soup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after circling around the large serpent, Gu Xi remarked somewhat helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I must say, boss, this serpent has been dead for hundreds of years, hasn't it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you want something fresh, you should buy from the meat market building; all I have here are dried goods, you know, they can be preserved for a long time when dried.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi shrugged, acknowledging the black market merchant's words, but he didn't stay idle; instead, he walked further inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he walked, he continued to examine the condition of these corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although these corpses were now mummified or fossilized, their quality was truly impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weakest among them had over Level 25 capability in their lifetime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was something Gu Xi hadn't dared to dream of before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he turned another half circle, Gu Xi's eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss, how much is this one?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1119,"2026-06-10T07:09:35.514Z",1,"novelbin.me","c3b8752668b8b27fa20780fdc1f4cf05a5458374a2b244e96e678e6b496643f5","undead-mage-from-a-cell-chapter-749","undead-mage-from-a-cell-chapter-747",860,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fundead-mage-from-a-cell-cover.jpg"]
