Chapter 156 Soul-Catching Bell

"Thank you." Yuan Ming said and walked towards the passage.

"Is this fellow Daoist's first time in the ghost market? Are you planning to go in like this?" The black shadow suddenly spoke.

"What do you mean by that?" Yuan Ming was a little surprised by the man's sudden talk, but he didn't lie, and asked.

"Although fellow Daoist is wearing a bamboo hat, this level of disguise can be seen through by the divine sense. Don't you know that it is very dangerous to be spied on by others in the ghost market?" The black shadow said.

Yuan Ming was stunned. Gu Yue didn't mention this.

There is some truth in what the black shadow said, but the Qianji mask has not been refined yet, and he can't cover his appearance even if he wants to.

"Fellow Daoist, don't worry. Here is a concealing cloak that can conceal the breath and isolate the divine sense. As long as you wear it, it is guaranteed that no one will recognize you. It is a fate for you and me to meet today. I will sell it to you for fifty spirit stones, or rent it to you for five spirit stones for one use. How about it?" The black shadow took out a gray-black cloak with a hood, and his tone became eager.

Yuan Ming heard this and understood, and was both amused and confused.

This black shadow stopped him, and it turned out that he wanted to do business.

He used his spiritual sense to touch the gray-black cloak, and was unceremoniously bounced away by an invisible force.

Yuan Ming's eyes lit up. This cloak can really isolate spiritual sense, which is a good thing.

However, his Thousand Machine Mask can be refined soon, so there is no need to spend a lot of money to buy this thing.

"One time for rent, one spirit stone." Yuan Ming took out a spirit stone and handed it over.

"Hehe." The black shadow laughed, took away a spirit stone with a flick of his sleeve, and threw the cloak over.

Yuan Ming put on the cloak, and the breath of mana disappeared completely, and the smell disappeared without a trace.

He touched the thing. This cloak was not made of cloth, but woven with a soft black grass stem. It seemed that he had seen it somewhere before.

Yuan Ming thought carefully, and the figure of the old pipe suddenly appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Most of his memories have been restored, and he vaguely remembered the situation when he was picked up by the old pipe.

On the day when he was picked up by the old pipe from the river, the old pipe had used a straw mat to cover him and other corpses to hide the stench of corpses. The straw mat seemed to be woven with this kind of grass stems, which seemed to be a specialty of southern Xinjiang.

"Daoyou, please come in. Remember not to follow the seller away!" The black figure reminded him and disappeared into the darkness again.

Yuan Ming stepped into the wall passage and soon reached the end. The light in front became normal, and a dim square came into his sight.

Looking around, there were small stalls everywhere. All the stall owners were masked, which looked a bit simple and far less than the scale and style of the Black Rock City Market.

There were a few scattered guests in the square, each of whom covered their true faces. Most of them wore the black cloak on Yuan Ming, which was obviously bought or rented from the black figure, and looked shadowy.

After a quick look, Yuan Ming walked casually to a small stall closest to him.

There was nothing else on the stall, only two corpses lying side by side, covered with green scales and a dark blue mist on their bodies.

"Refined corpses."

Yuan Ming combined some information he had read in the sect before and recognized that the two refined corpses had reached the level of "Blue Steel Corpses". They were very high-level refined corpses in the Black Fire Sect and would not easily flow out of the sect. He did not expect that there would be two of them in the ghost market at once.

Looking at the two Blue Steel Corpses, Yuan Ming was a little tempted.

The body of the Blue Steel Corpse was harder than iron, and its combat power was comparable to that of the peak of Qi Refining. It could even withstand the attacks of the cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage. It was far from being comparable to the human goblins refined by Huo Huo. If you could own one, it would play a big role in the battle.

"How much are these two refined corpses for?" At this moment, a man wearing a black cloak also came over and asked for the price.

"Eight hundred spirit stones each, no bargaining." The gray-robed masked stall owner said without raising his head.

"Will you sell it for five hundred?" the man asked.

"I've said that the price is fixed. You can't buy it even if you pay 1,000 spirit stones outside this place." The gray-robed stall owner said coldly.

Seeing this, Yuan Ming shook his head and turned away.

The price is too high, let's look at other things.

He then looked at several stalls in a row. There were many fine products, and there were even tools suitable for cultivators in the foundation-building stage.

Not long after, Yuan Ming stopped in front of another small stall.

Behind the stall sat a person in a green robe with a bronze mask. Judging from her figure, she should be a woman.

Yuan Ming continued to scan the stalls.

His sight turned and fell on a silver-white bell-shaped magic weapon.

He was very familiar with this thing. It was the thing that Hu Zha and others used to collect the souls of wild people.

"What is the use of this thing, and how much is it?" Yuan Ming pointed at the bell and asked as if he didn't know it.

"This bell is called the Soul-Capture Bell. Although it is a low-grade magic weapon, it has the effects of collecting souls and soul-strike. Attacking mortals will cause them to lose their memory at the least, or lose their souls at the worst. Attacking monks can cause them to be dizzy and lose their memory for a short time. Although it is a low-grade magic weapon, it is the exclusive magic weapon of Biluo Cave, and many monks are eager to get it. Sell it for sixty spirit stones." The green-robed woman whispered.

"It can make mortals lose their memories." Yuan Ming was stunned.

When he entered Biluo Cave, he lost his previous memories, and he only remembered most of them so far. If this Soul-Capture Bell has such an effect besides collecting souls, he suspected that he had been attacked by this bell.

This time, the reason for the amnesia was finally found!

Yuan Ming couldn't help but hate it in his heart!

This bell must be taken!

"The effect of this soul-catching bell is quite miraculous, but the spiritual power contained in this bell is weak, and it is a low-level magic weapon. I am afraid that it can only be used against low-level cultivators of Qi Refining. As for using it against mortals, it is a bit of an overkill. Sixty spiritual stones are too much. I will offer twenty at most." Yuan Ming said.

"Twenty? Don't underestimate this bell. If you have a night of love with a mortal woman you like, this magic weapon is most suitable. Fifty-five!" The green-robed woman said in a low voice: "If the young master of Bailong Island had not died, would you be able to get it cheaply?"

"How could I be such a person? Twenty-five, that's about it!"

"Fifty!"

After a round of bargaining, the stall owner finally gave in to thirty-two spiritual stones.

After Yuan Ming left, the woman also left quickly.

In front of another stall, there was an old book with four small words "Miscellaneous Essays on the Way of Formations" written on it.

In the past few days in the market, Yuan Ming has come into contact with things related to magic arrays many times and has developed some interest in magic arrays. He doesn't want to be distracted from learning, but it is still necessary to understand it, so he paid another three spirit stones to buy it.

After walking for half an hour, he stood up and left from a small stall, spending thirty spirit stones to buy three somewhat shriveled black fruits.

According to the stall owner, this thing is a unique tree of a family in the southern region of southern Xinjiang. It has been hundreds of years since it has produced strange fruits. After eating it, fierce beasts can quickly increase their fertility rate. If this fruit is placed in the mountains and forests, the slightest smell of the fruit will attract fierce beasts hundreds of feet around to compete for food.

Yuan Ming has already looked at most of the stalls in the ghost market. In addition to these three black fruits, he bought a few more things, four talismans, three yellow pills, and more than thirty kinds of spiritual wood and spiritual herbs.

The four talismans are called Four-Direction Sealing Spirit Talismans. The four talismans must be used together to form a hidden barrier that covers up all the fluctuations of the breath inside and hides the traces. It is suitable for use when resting in the wild.

Unlike ordinary talismans, this talisman is a type that slowly activates its power and can be used multiple times.

The three pills are not ordinary pills, but a common attack method used in the Poison Cave. When they hit the enemy, they will explode into a piece of poison powder, similar to the smoke bombs he often used before.

As for the spiritual wood and spiritual grass, they are all because he wanted to use them to experiment with making incense. After this investigation of the White Night Alliance, Yuan Ming deeply realized the magic of the incense burner, but the time of the black incense's possession is too short to play the effect of the incense burner. He must find a way to extend the time of the black incense.

He still doesn't know enough about the materials for making incense, so he can only use the most stupid method, buying various spiritual materials and trying them little by little.

These things were somewhat lower than the market price, but the total cost was quite high. He spent about 200 spirit stones in total. With the previous expenses, he only had more than 400 spirit stones left in his storage ring.

This trip to the ghost market was quite fruitful.

But he also saw Kuntu's ghost flag being sold in a corner!

Although he didn't know the man's appearance, he was undoubtedly Wu Lu's accomplice. Yuan Ming was about to go up and ask questions, but a monk got ahead of him and bought it for an unknown price. The seller also left in a hurry, and Yuan Ming didn't dare to follow.

Yuan Ming continued to move forward. A black stone pillar appeared at the edge of the square in front of him, with several fluorescent stones inlaid on it, illuminating a large area around it.

There were four such stone pillars in the market, located in four corners, and the light they emitted illuminated the entire square.

With the help of the light curtain, Yuan Ming looked around. At this moment, there were more than half fewer stalls than when he first came in.

There was a stall under the stone pillar. The stall owner was a one-armed old man with a fox mask on his face. He was sitting on a worn bamboo chair with his eyes closed.

There were a few items scattered on the stall, most of which were spiritual materials. There was a magic weapon, a small dark red shield.

Yuan Ming's eyes lit up, and he squatted in front of the stall and said, "Can I see this magic weapon?"

"Please." The old man said without opening his eyes.

Yuan Ming picked up the shield and injected his magic power into it. The shield immediately floated up, emitting a red light, and a red rune flashed out.

"Low-grade magic weapon, what a pity!" he thought to himself.

Yuan Ming thought of this, put down the dark red shield, and was about to get up and leave.

The one-armed old man opened his eyes and called Yuan Ming: "Fellow Daoist, please stay."

"What's the matter?" Yuan Ming stopped and said.

"Fellow Daoist, do you want to buy a defensive magic weapon? This fire rock shield is not bad. If you like it, I can sell it at a lower price." The one-armed old man smiled.

"I'm not interested." Yuan Ming said.

"Forgive me for being so rude, but do you have any beast eggs or strange beasts?" asked the one-armed old man.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Ming's eyes suddenly lit up. He not only had a black toad, but also a blue beast egg.
