Chapter 130: You Pay, I Work, It’s a Fair Trade!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Lu Yuan walked into the Five Ghost Treasure House.
What he saw inside was a hall that looked like a museum.
A large number of ghost artifacts, magic items and celestial herbs were arranged in the hall.
Lu Yuan was very surprised to see magic items and celestial herbs here.
He never imagined that the ghost market, which was a symbol of death, would actually have things that only the living had.
As he thought about it, Lu Yuan walked towards a magic item.
However, just as he took a few steps, a voice suddenly called out to him, “Hey! Watch where you’re going!”
Lu Yuan stopped in his tracks and looked around. He did not see anyone around.
“Kid, where are you looking?”
Lu Yuan lowered his head and found a thumb-sized ghost beside his feet.
If he had taken another step forward, he would have stepped on the other party.
“Sorry, I didn’t notice you.”
Hearing Lu Yuan’s apology, the other party did not continue pestering him.
Out of curiosity, Lu Yuan looked at the other party’s interface.
[Eastern Money-making Ghost]
[Cultivation: Core Formation Stage]
[Description: As a money-making ghost, not only can he make good use of money, but he can also use money to display many special techniques.]
Good heavens, this little guy the size of a thumb actually had the cultivation at the Core Formation Stage.
The Eastern Money-making Ghost jumped onto one of the displays.
He looked at Lu Yuan and suddenly extended his hand.
When Lu Yuan saw this, he seemed to have thought of the door number outside just now.
It seemed that the entrance fee would cost five ghost coins.
He took out five spiritual ghost coins and placed them in the hands of the Eastern Money-making Ghost.
“At least you know the rules. Start choosing. Pick whatever you like. The prices are displayed clearly. No haggling is allowed.”
After saying that, the Eastern Money-making Ghost jumped down and began to walk around the hall.
Lu Yuan was not the only guest in the hall.
Aside from some powerful ghosts and monsters, he also saw some cultivators.
It was obvious that these cultivators were also attracted by the things in the Five Ghost Treasure House.
They wanted to see if they could exchange for some good things.
However, after Lu Yuan walked around, he realized that most of the things on the first floor were used by Foundation Establishment cultivators. They were not very useful to him.
Thus, he walked up to the second floor.
On the second floor, there were undoubtedly fewer people and ghosts here.
Moreover, there were not many things here.
However, the things here were all things that could only be used by those at the Core Formation Stage.
The items here were not cheap.
Each item cost at least 500 ghost coins.
This was the lowest price.
Among these things, Lu Yuan quickly found one that he could use.
[Broken Long Rope of a Hanged Ghost]
[Rarity: Pseudo Core Stage]
[Description: This is the Life Long Rope from a Pseudo Core Stage Hanged Ghost. It can directly touch the divine soul of a cultivator.]
[Price: 1,000 ghost coins]
Supposedly, the Soul Reaper Rope could only be refined by Lu Yuan when his Black Yin Devil Technique reached the Core Formation Stage.
That was because usually only Core Formation Stage cultivators possessed a divine soul at the Emptiness Realm.
Another reason was that using the Soul Reaper Rope required a large amount of death aura.
If these two conditions were met, even if one’s cultivation was not at the Core Formation Stage, one could still start refining the Soul Reaper Rope.
Although Lu Yuan’s Foundation Establishment Yin spiritual root was not as strong as that of a Core Formation cultivator, he could fuse all the spiritual energy from his other spiritual roots into his Yin spiritual root for a short period of time and turn it into death aura.
Therefore, under certain conditions, his death aura was actually not inferior to that of an ordinary Pseudo Core Stage cultivator.
With the cultivation of a Pseudo Core Stage cultivator, he could use the Soul Reaper Rope once.
It was naturally not an easy task to refine the Soul Reaper Rope.
The Life Long Rope of a Hanged Ghost was one of the best materials to refine the Soul Reaper Rope.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan made up his mind.
He walked up to the Life Long Rope of the Hanged Ghost and picked up a black stone beside it.
The next moment, the Eastern Money-making Ghost instantly appeared in front of Lu Yuan.
“Has this caught your eye?”
Lu Yuan nodded.
“Alright, then pay up.”
The arrogant look of the Eastern Money-making Ghost made it seem that he was confident that every item in his shop could be sold.
However, Lu Yuan did not take out ghost coins immediately. Instead, he took out a Blood Qi Pill.
“Boss, how about I use three of these pills to exchange for the Life Long Rope of the Hanged Ghost?”
Looking at the Blood Qi Pill in Lu Yuan’s hand, the eyes of the Eastern Money-making Ghost suddenly lit up.
However, he seemed to have thought of something, and his expression quickly changed.
“Three pills aren’t enough, I will exchange with you for at least five.”
When he heard the Eastern Money-making Ghost demand such an exorbitant price, Lu Yuan said directly, “Boss, I don’t think I need to explain how useful these pills are to ghosts. Normally, when ghosts absorb Yang qi, they will be polluted by negative karma. However, my Blood Qi Pills have been refined. Not only do they have no karma, but they also carry the blood qi of many living people.”
He continued, “This is a good tonic for ghosts. 1 can guarantee that no one can offer such a thing except me.”
Upon hearing Lu Yuan’s words, the Eastern Money-making Ghost immediately fell silent.
When Lu Yuan saw this, he felt more confident.
He knew very well the value of the Blood Qi Pills refined through the Divine Soul Pill Refinement Technique.
Just as he said, the Blood Qi Pills he refined were all pure, without karma.
There were no side effects for ghosts to absorb such pills.
Karma was like poison to ghosts and monsters.
Previously, the horse-headed ghost had fallen into the Fallen Petra Path because of its heavy karma, becoming a monster that only knew how to eat.
If the ghosts absorbed Lu Yuan’s Blood Qi Pills, they would not have such side effects.
After thinking about it for a moment, the Eastern Money-making Ghost also came to a decision.
“Four. If you offer me four pills, I’ll agree to exchange with you.”
“Alright.”
Lu Yuan took out four Blood Qi Pills from his storage bag and handed them to the Eastern Money-making Ghost.
After confirming that there were no problems, the Eastern Money-making Ghost also removed the restriction on the Life Long Rope of the Hanged Ghost.
Lu Yuan waved his hand and put it into his storage bag.
After buying this item, Lu Yuan did not plan to stay in the ghost market any longer.
Although there were other useful things on the second floor, they were not things that Lu Yuan could use at his current cultivation stage.
Lu Yuan felt that it would be unwise for him to use Blood Qi Pills to exchange for these things that he could not use in the near future.
However, just as Lu Yuan was about to leave, the Eastern Money-making Ghost suddenly called out to him.
“Friend, please wait a moment.”
Lu Yuan looked at the Eastern Money-making Ghost and asked warily, “Is there anything else?”
The Eastern Money-making Ghost took out a token from his bosom and threw it to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan caught the token, and the words ‘Five Ghost Bring Wealth’ were written on it.
Seeing Lu Yuan’s puzzled expression, the Eastern Money-making Ghost laughed and explained, “Friend, not only are we in the business of treasures, but we also accept reservations for some treasures. If you want something, tell us in advance. We will offer you a reasonable price based on the value of the item.”
Hearing this, Lu Yuan’s eyes suddenly lit up.
He asked, “Can you procure cultivation techniques?”
The Eastern Money-making Ghost said, “As long as you want it, we have a way to get it, but the prerequisite is you have to be able to afford it. You pay, I work.. It’s a fair trade, right?”
