The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 268 - 266: Impermanence Pavilion

Chapter 268 -266: Impermanence Pavilion

In front of the tower building was a large open space, covered with square floor tiles, forming a multi-acre square.

These floor tiles were all faintly blue, like blue jade, with patterns engraved on them, emitting bursts of blue light, illuminating the entire valley brightly.

A lot of small stalls were set up on the square, displaying various items related to cultivation. Despite the distance, the mana fluctuations emanating from these items were still perceptible. Many ghosts passed by these stalls, glancing over the items or inquiring about them.

No matter whether it was the ghosts going in and out of the remote shops or those in the square, they all emitted powerful yin qi fluctuations, none of them were weak.

Seeing this, a look of shock crossed Shen Luo’s face. After a while, he took a deep breath, and his expression returned to calm.

This is the real world of cultivation, just as he had imagined, grand and majestic.

Compared to this place, both Jianye City and the Spring and Autumn Pavilion seemed quaint and small-time.

There were likely special prohibitions set up around the valley, which couldn’t be detected from the outside. Only by entering could one discover the existence of the Ghost Market. This kind of wide-ranging and subtle prohibition was not something that the Spring and Autumn Pavilion and Jianye City could have.

The gray-robed man nearby was also shocked by the scene in the valley, but quickly regained his composure.

“I must take my leave now.” The gray-robed man said to Shen Luo, and without waiting for a reply, he quickly walked into the valley, soon mingling with the ghosts in the square, and disappeared.

Shen Luo didn’t mind, he was completely captivated by the bustling scene inside the valley.

However, he remained vigilant. He first moved to the vicinity of the square without hastily entering.

The breath of these ghosts in the valley was not weak, most of them had higher cultivation levels than his own. After all, the later stages of the Qi Refining Stage were just the beginning in the world of cultivation. Although Soul Hook Horse Face had said that this place was safe, he dared not entirely trust that and remained cautious.

Quite a few ghosts had noticed Shen Luo, but had just glanced at him and then quickly looked away, apparently not discovering his identity as a living person.

Shen Luo then secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and lingered near the edge of the square for quite a while. After assuring himself that his identity wouldn’t be discovered, he proceeded to move forward.

He didn’t venture deep into the valley to the shops but instead entered the square, examining one stall after another.

Having previously read the “Immortal Divine Herb” on Dreamland Mount Fangcun, a book annotating various things such as plants, insects, and minerals, he naturally had wide knowledge.

Although these stands were small, various items displayed on them were quite extraordinary. Even the lowest-grade materials were rare, with most being middle-grade or even high-grade materials.

Possibly because this was the Ghost Market, most of the materials on the stands were of yin attributes, which he had no use for.

Apart from the materials, there were also all kinds of talismans on the stands such as “Yin Fire Talisman”, “Illusion Talisman”, “Forbidden Treasure Talisman” and so on. They were quite varied and seemed to have high ranks.

Shen Luo was very interested in talismans and wished he could buy the ones he had never seen before to study thoroughly. Unfortunately, each talisman cost two to three pieces of Immortal Jade, with attack ones being even more expensive.

He didn’t have much Immortal Jade on him, and he still needed to buy Solidifying Yuan pills, so he could only satisfy himself by looking.

In addition to materials and talismans, there were various talismanic instruments, and medicinal items on these stalls.

However, these medicines were all used for healing and detoxification and lacked precious elixirs used for advancing cultivation.

Although Shen Luo didn’t have an intention to purchase anything, he found his horizons greatly broadened.

“Better get on with my business.” He strolled through half of the square’s stalls, forcing himself to regain his focus, and headed towards the shops in the center of the valley.

From the conversations of some of the ghosts on the square, he learned an important piece of information. The Ghost Market also had a time limit, starting at midnight and ending at dawn. The time was short, so he needed to hurry.

There were many shops in the center of the valley, totaling about two or three dozens. All of them were running businesses related to cultivating. After a brief visit, Shen Luo soon found a shop selling elixirs.

This elixir shop was quite large, with five long counters displaying a variety of elixirs under a sheet of transparent glaze-like jade, each labeled with its name and effects.

On a few glances, Shen Luo found out that the elixirs available here were much superior to those in the small stalls outside, with much more variety. Even elixirs that consolidate one’s foundation and nourish one’s origin, or that advance cultivation, were available.

“What kind of elixir do you want, customer?” A woman who looked seven or eight points similar to an ordinary person, but with a horn growing on her head and green face and red eyes, walked over. She was apparently the shopkeeper of this shop.

“Do you have Solidifying Yuan Pills for sale here?” Shen Luo did not beat around the bush and asked directly.

“Solidifying Yuan Pill? I’ve never heard of it.” The one-horned ghost woman seemed genuinely surprised.

Shen Luo’s eyebrows furrowed, but he quickly realized that the Solidifying Yuan Pill was a pill of the human race. This was the Ghost Market, and although it might not necessarily be the same place as the human world, it wasn’t strange not to know about the Solidifying Yuan Pill.

“It is an elixir that assists in breaking through the Grain Avoidance Stage.” He explained.

“I see, you want a pill for breaking through. I’m sorry, pills for breaking realms are extremely rare. Although we have two varieties in our shop, they can only assist in breaking through the small realms within the Qi Refining Stage. We don’t have any for the Grain Avoidance Stage.” The one-horned ghost woman spoke with clear regrets.

“Thank you.” Shen Luo felt disappointed, nodded to the ghost woman, and left.

He continued to search for other elixir shops and visited three or four more in succession, all without success.

“It seems that even in the Ghost Market, pills like the Solidifying Yuan Pill aren’t easy to find.” Shen Luo thought to himself, without halting his steps. He soon found another shop selling elixirs, hesitated for a bit, then walked in.

“You want a pill for breaking through the Grain Avoidance Stage? I’m sorry, we don’t have it in our shop.” The shopkeeper, an old ghost, shook his head and said almost the same words.

Shen Luo’s face darkened, and he couldn’t help but worry. Could it be that he wouldn’t be able to find the pill he wanted even in the Ghost Market?

“You must be visiting the Ghost Market for the first time, aren’t you? If you want to buy that pill, there’s no need to look for other elixir shops. Just go straight to the Impermanence Pavilion. It’s the only place in the whole Ghost Market that has the pill you want.” The old ghost seemed to see Shen Luo’s mood and spoke with a slight smile.

“Impermanence Pavilion?” Shen Luo’s spirits lifted.

“It’s that large white shop over there. They sell materials, elixirs, talismans, magical instruments and more. The best items in the entire Ghost Market are all concentrated there. Of course, their prices are also the highest.” The old ghost looked towards the direction of the entrance, his expression seemed envious, but also appeared resentful.

Following his gaze, a large shop stood tall in the distance.
