Chosen Man
Mystery Ghost Lantern

Jade City.

The Moon Sky Restaurant.

Feng Zun and the others were drinking and resting.

"Mr Haoran, do you know if there is a place in town that sells spiritual herbs and spiritual herbal ingredients?"

Feng Zun asked.

In the end, he came to Long Empire mostly for the sake of his cultivation.

The cultivation resources in the Zhou Dynasty or Han Dynasty countries were no longer sufficient for his cultivation in the future.

Only in the Long Empire could he obtain sufficient cultivation resources to meet the requirements of the Primordial Dao Book.

Haoran pondered for a moment and said, "The medicine shops in the city also sell spiritual medicines and spiritual ingredients, but most are only suitable for the cultivation needs of ordinary martial artists."

“If Young Master wants to purchase a suitable cultivation resource, then you can head to Melody City. That place was one of the most prosperous places in the Southern Prefecture of Long Empire. The three largest trading companies in the Empire all have branches in Melody City.”

"In Melody City, as long as we have enough money, it's easy for us to purchase spiritual herbs and high-end spiritual materials."

"In addition, there will occasionally be, a 'Melody City Conference' to be held in Melody City. This was an event specifically used to auction rare treasures.

Feng Zun was very happy to hear this.

Previously, he had exterminated Madame Ming Fei and the other experts in the Chu Imperial Region, and he had annihilated Qian Wu and the others in the Green Ice Valley, allowing Feng Zun to obtain a priceless amount of war spoils.

However, the cultivation resources that could fulfill his own cultivation were only a small part of it, and it could only sustain him for at most a month.

Most of the precious treasures were of little value to him and needed to be sold in exchange for cultivation resources that suited his needs.

Hence, this Melody City was undoubtedly a great place for Feng Zun.

At this moment, Haoran suddenly thought of something and said, "Right, there is also a very special Mystery Market in this Jade City that is very famous throughout the Southern Region. There were many strange treasures in the Mystery Market, but there were also many fake and ancient items. If one wanted to transact in the Mystery Market, it all depended on his eyesight."

A place like the "Mystery Market" was where cultivation resources were traded. And it could be seen everywhere in the Tian Clan Realm.

Normally, cultivators who liked to enter and exit this place were mostly here to take good luck.

Yet there were only a few people who could take luck in the Mystery Market. Most people will be fooled.

"Mystery Market? Sounds interesting. Teacher, can we go and see her later?"

Tianba said curiously.

"It depends on Young Master Feng."

Haoran smiled.

"Because I don't have a need, I might as well take a walk there."

said Feng Zun.

…

The entrance to the Mystery Market was located in the backyard of a shop called Sun Light.

There was a passageway here that led to the Mystery City underground.

According to Haoran, Sun Light's boss was supported by the Ghost Fiend Sect, so no one dared to cause trouble in the mystery market guarded by Sun Light.

Soon, Haoran brought everyone and paid each of them 10 middle-class spirit stones. Feng Zun and the others managed to enter the Mystery Market easily.

Although it was called the Mystery Market, it was actually a long street built underground, and there were various stalls erected on both sides of the road.

Some sold spiritual ingredients, spiritual herbs, and all sorts of precious treasures and antiques. It was an incredible collection that was practically related to cultivation needs.

Many customers move through various kiosks. Some stood in place to watch, some took treasures to bargain for, and seemed to be rather crowded.

"So many cultivators!"

Yin Ying was shocked.

Mystery Market is crowded with people. Although most of them were martial cultivators, there was no shortage of cultivators in the Nirvana and Mortal Realms!

"The Jade City Mystery Market was extremely famous throughout the Southern Region. Every day, many cultivators from other places came here."

Haoran explained with a smile.

"Ah, this jade pendant is sparkling and translucent. Very pretty!"

Tianba stood there while his gaze was fixated on the snow-white jade pendant in the nearby stall.

The owner of the stall was an old man with a simple appearance and looked honest, and he chuckled as he said, “Young Miss has good eyesight. This jade pendant was accidentally discovered from an abandoned residence while I was picking plants in the depths of the Pyton Cloud Mountain some time ago. I assure you that it must be an ancient treasure. ”

As he spoke, the old man sighed and said helplessly, “Only the fault of this old man for not being able to see the depth of this jade pendant. Since this old hand was unable to feel it any deeper, I tried repeatedly, yet I could only endure the pain and decided to sell this treasure. If Miss likes this treasure, you can mention the price. As long as this old man felt it was tolerable, this treasure would belong to Miss.

Tianba blinked his clear eyes as he stretched out a slender finger and said in a clear voice, "50 middle-class Spirit Stones, nothing more."

The old man was astonished, and he looked filled with disbelief. After which, he forced a smile and said, Little “Nona, are you joking with this old man? It is an ancient treasure whose origins are mysterious. A customer offered a hundred middle-class spirit stones earlier, but this old man did not agree.”

Tianba. "Is that so? Fortunately, he did not buy it. Otherwise, he would definitely scold himself as an idiot. Because this jade pendant was useless other than beautiful. I'm willing to pay for spirit stones just because it's beautiful."

The old man: "…"

His expression darkened bit by bit, and he said angrily, "Little girl, are you here to cause trouble? If you don't want to buy it, then leave quickly."

Tianba solemnly said, “Uncle, in my opinion, the spirit stones I offer are enough to buy most of the ones in your stall. Are you sure you won't sell it to me?"

Haoran hurriedly pulled Tianba and took him away.

"Teacher, why did you pull me?"

Tianba's confused.

"In the Mystery Market, even if you see the secret of the treasure, you must not reveal its flaws in front of everyone. It's gonna break the rules here."

Haoran whispers.

Tianba nodded and said, "Then I'll see her next time."

Feng Zun accepted everything and smiled without saying anything.

With Tianba's extraordinary talent, he could easily see the essence of the treasure.

Under such circumstances, even those cunning merchants would find it hard to let Tianba fall into a disadvantageous hole.

The group walked around and found some rare and beautiful small objects.

Feng Zun also casually bought a hairpin, with his divine eyes, he knew that this hairpin was made of star stone and if wearing it on the woman's body. It can nourish the soul and can be considered a pretty good spiritual weapon.

When he planned to return to the Han Empire, he intended to give it to Princess Han Mei.

Furthermore, under Feng Zun's guidance, Yin Ying, Zhuan Long, and the others each purchased some of the spiritual materials needed for their cultivation. It's not cheap, but it's worth it.

"There are still five Mystery Lights left in the hands of the old blind. Every Mystery Lamp had a stone coffin inside. Now, anyone could use their treasures to exchange them. As long as you're interested"

A low and hoarse voice sounded from far away.

Mystery Lights?

Feng Zun looked over.

Not far down the road, there was a strange stall. The owner of the stall was a skinny old man and looked unkempt.

He was like a beggar as he sat there lazily with no eyeballs in his eyes, making him seem empty and strange.

He is blind.

And in the stall in front of him floated five lanterns.

Each lantern was wrapped in a kind of black leather paper, and emitted strands of strange and frightening blood-colored candlelight.

Many figures had gathered in front of the blind old man's stall, and they were all cultivators. There are men and women, young and old.

"The old blind man is here again. In the past year, every time he appeared, he would say that he only had five Mystery Lanterns left. However, there are many fools who are deceived by his deception."

The nearest seller sneered.

"No matter what, the mystery lanterns the Blind Old Man offered were still very attractive. In the past, there had indeed been cultivators who obtained great wealth from within the mystery lantern!"

"It was also what made the blind old man carve a golden name and become famous. Even if many people lost their most precious treasures, they would still be unable to stop others from coming to fight over the stone coffin inside the mystery lantern."

The voice tones of the other stall owners were complicated and full of envy.

Hearing that discussion, Feng Zun quickly understood that in this Jade City Mystery Market, the name of the old blind man must have been one of the most legendary stall owners.

No one knows where it came from.

Everyone only knew that every time the blind old man appeared, he would carry five mystery lights. Furthermore, he had three strange rules.

Firstly, the Mystery Lantern could only be exchanged for treasures that the blind old man was interested in. If he was not satisfied, then no matter how precious or rare a treasure was, then it would not be enough.

Second, the stone coffins inside the five Mystery Lanterns were all sealed. As long as one had chosen, no matter what the contents of the treasure inside the stone coffin were, they were unable to retract their words.

Third, ghost lights are not sold to women.

As some treasures that shocked the world did appear inside the coffin that the old blind man had sold, it caused the status of the old blind in the Mystery Market to be extremely extraordinary.

The reason why many cultivators from other places came to Little Jade Mystery City was mostly to fight over the five mysterious lights belonging to the Old Blind.

There were some formidable cultivators trying to figure out the old blind man's origin and background, but all of them failed without exception.

Even until no one knew how the old blind man had come to the Mystery Market and how he had left.

In short, the origin of this blind old man had always been a mystery.

After he found out about all this, Tianba could only mutter. “Because this is a transaction, then why should women not participate in it? Uh, that blind old man is too disgusting.”

“There are many strange people and strange things in this world. Since he set this rule, there must be a reason.”

Haoran.

"Why?"

Feng Zun could not help but laugh. "These three rules were not set by the blind old man. Why women should not interfere... Well, if you want to know, I'll let you know after we leave this place."

The others were astonished as they actually noticed that Feng Zun seemed to have grasped something, and he was clearly aware of the origin of the 'three rules' made by the blind old man!

"Let's go and see."

As Feng Zun spoke, he walked forward.

He felt a little strange in his heart. He never thought that he would find something like 'Dead Pig inside the Mystery Lantern' in Jade City, Southern Prefecture!

As a result, he became very curious about the old blind man's origin.
