Chapter 1865: Lifetime as a Price

Chapter 1865: Lifetime as a Price

The dense world was like a dark place. The deeper he went, the more Lin Chen believed what Leng Ling said.

Nowadays, this ghost market has reached a point where it is difficult for even the Beast Tower to deal with it.

Hundreds of ghosts walk at night, and the huge ghost shadow can swallow the sun and moon.

All I can say is that it is indeed a ghost worthy of being in the divine land of heaven, and it is indeed extraordinary.

I just don’t know why the Beast Fighting Tower didn’t hunt these ghosts and ghosts as slaves in the first place. Could it be that the great masters in the God Realm don’t like to see ghosts because they think they are unlucky?

Along the road lit by will-o'-the-wisps, the ghost mist in front of Lin Chen and the others gradually dispersed, and finally, a city with lights on appeared at the end of their sight.

Lin Chen's eyes flashed slightly. Without the invitation letter to guide him along the way, it would be difficult to find the location of this ghost market. Just this way, he had crossed dozens of space folds. I am afraid that only Lin Chen could remember to come. road.

If necessary next time, Lin Chen can arrive in this ghost market without an invitation letter.

Of course, any dangers that may arise along the way are unavoidable.

The ghost market is naturally still eerie, but compared to the mass graves along the way, it is much more peaceful. At least the lights in the ghost market are no longer the same miserable green, but also bright red and deep purple.

Of course, it's still very weird.

The ghost market is not large in scale. There is only one street. The houses on both sides are all kinds of strange and have no unified style. They are obviously built according to the owner's personal preferences.

Some like elegance, which is an elegant courtyard, and some admire killing, and the entire building is made of bones.

I have to say that Lin Chenshu’s style is like this in the Bones world.

There were not many pedestrians on the streets of the ghost market. After Lin Chen and the others entered, they noticed many eyes on both sides of the street. They were all residents of the ghost market, and they were ghosts with strong intelligence.

These looks may be curious, kind or malicious, but the ghost market has its own rules. As long as you don't step into their territory rashly, they will not take action.

Apart from ghosts, there are not many people in this ghost market.

Occasionally, you can see a few figures on the street, coming and going in a hurry, but they are all wrapped in thick cloaks to cover their auras, and their identities will not be revealed at all.

They maintain a distance and a tacit understanding between each other, and there will be no conflicts.

"My little brother is so full of yang energy. Why don't you come in and sit down while I make you a pot of tea!"

Lin Chen and the others passed by a house with red lanterns hanging on it. The pillars and walls were all painted with red paint. In such a gloomy environment, it didn't look festive, but more eerie and weird.

The ghost among them was lying at the window, waving his hands seductively, with a tail wagging behind him. It was a ghost fox.

This was the first ghost to greet them after entering the ghost market.

Lin Chen looked over curiously.

"Ignore it. Ghost foxes are best at absorbing people's yang energy. Your body is strong and you are a great tonic in their eyes. Once you respond, the ghost fox may attack you and drag you in," Leng Ling warned.

Although Lin Chen is powerful, they can certainly not be afraid, but they are here for information, and it is not wise to offend the ghost market.

Moreover, once a big fight breaks out, it is still a question whether the owner of the ghost market can let them out.

"Come on, little brother, come in and play!" The ghost fox's eyes were all peach-pink, tempting Lin Chen and the others.

Lin Chen was not afraid. He had no tools anyway, but it was better to do less than to do more. Responding hastily would indeed be troublesome, so he looked away.

Now he continued to walk forward, and when the ghost fox saw Lin Chen and the others leaving, his eyes suddenly flashed with anger, and the extremely charming face suddenly split open and turned into a huge fox head, with a bloody mouth open, extremely ferocious. .

Lin Chen felt a chill.

This ghost fox's method of absorbing yang energy must be to swallow people whole!

Along the way, Lin Chen saw many strange ghosts, including a ghost bride holding her head, a cold ghost snake, and a pair of crows with blood-colored eyes, of various races and shapes.

They are strong and weak, but they are hard to ignore.

"The ghosts here seem to have a certain aura, which is a little unusual," Lin Chen said.

"This place, the Divine Land, is too close to the God Realm, and the laws are too heavy and strict. It is not easy for dead objects to turn into ghosts, let alone the further generation of spiritual intelligence."

"And the Lord of the Ghost Market is said to be the first ghost to produce spiritual wisdom in the Divine Land of Heaven. It is precisely because of his existence that ghosts successively produced spiritual wisdom and gathered around him, thus contaminating other ghosts. Breath," Leng Ling further explained.

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed that the owner of the ghost market was indeed a capable person.

"Speaking of which, this street is almost coming to an end. Could it be that your friend is the owner of the ghost market?" Lin Chen asked.

Leng Ling didn't answer, he was in no mood to joke.

In this ghost market street, the ghosts became more and more terrifying as they went further. When they reached their position, they could already distinguish the end of the ghost market with the naked eye. There was a temple at the end of the street.

That's where the ghost market ends.

But it looked more like a fierce ghost lying there. The round windows on the white wall were like two ghost eyes, watching everything that happened in the ghost market.

"That's the mansion of the Lord of the Ghost Market," Leng Ling said, then walked towards the building on the left at the end of the street.

Lin Chen raised his eyebrows. It seemed that this was where Leng Ling's friend lived.

This is a courtyard with a large area. After walking in, it turns out to be a lotus pond with rippling water, lotus flowers in bloom, and fireflies dancing in the lake at night, which is beautiful.

This doesn't look like a ghost market. There is no ghost aura at all. In this gloomy place, it looks like a pure land.

Leng Ling was obviously very familiar with this place. He walked through the corridor on the lake and came to a three-story pavilion in the center of the lake. There was an ancient lamp at the door of the pavilion, burning with a faint light.

Leng Ling did not enter the house or knock on the door, but walked straight to the ancient lamp and bowed.

"Leng Ling came to visit," Leng Ling said.

The next moment, the flame in the ancient lamp shook, and then the wick began to change color. The orange-yellow light gradually turned into blood, and the strands of light and fire spread like silk threads.

This scene was very strange, and it was also the only gloomy atmosphere here. The blood and fire turned into silk threads, wandering in the air, and then passed through the crack of the door into the house.

Lin Chen saw that the lights in the house also changed, a bloody color.

Then, the door opened automatically, and a red carpet rolled out from the house, all the way to Lin Chen and his feet.

Lin Chen was surprised.

Because this red carpet was actually transformed by a ghost, to be precise, it was a ghost's long tongue!

"Let's go," Leng Ling said, and walked in on the "red carpet."

Lin Chen shrugged and walked in with him.

Under the blood-red lanterns, their shadows gradually stretched out, swaying in the light and fire, and even slowly began to feel inconsistent. These shadows seemed to have their own lives and began to move on their own.

Is this some kind of ability of the owner of this place?

Can you control shadows?

Lin Chen just glanced at it and did nothing, and followed Leng Ling straight up to the third floor.

Standing in front of the door of the room on the third floor, then the shadow stood up on its own and helped Lin Chen and the others open the door, and at this moment, Lin Chen felt a threat.

The shadow on the ground seemed to have become the other party's property, which was equivalent to part of their own characteristics being mastered by others. The other party could use the shadow as a medium to directly attack from a distance!

The weird means used some rules, like authority!

"This is the rule here, don't overreact," Leng Ling reminded quickly.

He was worried that Lin Chen would attack directly.

"Am I so reckless?" Lin Chen smiled and walked in first.

Leng Ling frowned and hurriedly followed.

This room is a reception room, with classical decorations, needless to say. When Lin Chen and his friends walked in, they saw a painting hanging in the middle of the hall at first sight.

A picture of a lady.

The woman in the picture is elegant, extremely beautiful and dignified, and the painting skills are also amazing and lifelike, as if the woman in the painting can walk out of it at any time!

Lin Chen has never seen such painting skills and can't help but sigh.

However, in the reception room, there is nothing else except this painting.

"Hongzhuang, long time no see," Leng Ling said.

Lin Chen's mouth twitched.

What the hell is this!

The owner of this place is this painting?

There are so many strange ghosts in the world!

As Leng Ling spoke, the lights around the reception room went out instantly, leaving only an oil lamp directly above. With the light of the oil lamp, the shadow of the lady painting on the ground began to move, and gradually stood up and turned into a woman.

Then, the woman faded away from the dark color. It seemed that the woman in the painting had walked out?

It can be played like this!

Lin Chen was also very surprised. He realized that the owner of this place was not the painting, or rather, not just the painting, but the painting and the lamp!

"It's incredible", even Bai Shu couldn't help but admire.

She had never heard of such a strange ghost.

"The lamp is very special, but this painting is also very special. I'm afraid the origin is not simple", Lin Chen pondered in his heart, and the lamp is fine, but is the woman in this painting really a person?

I'm afraid her identity is not ordinary!

"Leng Ling, long time no see", Hong Zhuang nodded and then looked at Lin Chen. There was no surprise or doubt on her beautiful face.

She knew Lin Chen's origin?

But it is true that ghosts who can control shadows have too many channels to get information. It is not surprising that she knows what Lin Chen did in the outer world.

"I won't reminisce with you. I came here mainly to inquire about a few things," Leng Ling said straight to the point.

Hongzhuang looked at Leng Ling and smiled.

Leng Ling at this moment is very different from the past. Although his breath is much weaker, his temperament has changed, and even his eyes are different from the past.

"You can ask, but every question needs to pay a corresponding price. Even if you and I are familiar with each other, the rules cannot be broken," Hongzhuang said with a smile.

She sat down and motioned for the two to sit down.

"I understand," Leng Ling nodded, and then said: "Am I wanted by the Fighting Beast Tower now?"

"This question is simple, I will take ten years of your life," Hongzhuang smiled.

Leng Ling nodded.

Hongzhuang continued, "Yes, the Beast Fighting Tower has issued a wanted order for you. It is said that your deeds have angered the gods. You have almost no place to stand in the second landmass, and other scattered cultivators do not dare to take you in."

In fact, Leng Ling should have no way to escape after the wanted order was issued, but the strange thing is that he was able to walk to the ghost market safely, which is incredible.

It seems that it should be Lin Chen who helped Leng Ling isolate all investigations, making it difficult for the Beast Fighting Tower to grasp Leng Ling's whereabouts.

"What is Mu Zhu doing now?" Leng Ling continued to ask.

He had expected the Beast Fighting Tower's wanted order, so the other party only symbolically took ten years of life as the price.

but.

"Knowing the whereabouts of the Celestial God's tribe is not a small price to pay. I'll give you five thousand years of life," Hongzhuang said with a smile.

"good."

"Ever since you made a big fuss in the Eastern Branch Tower, Mu Zhu no longer takes charge of the Branch Tower. She went to the Mirage," Hongzhuang said.

"Mirage?" Leng Ling was surprised.

It is a very special place on Continent No. 2. It is a mysterious pavilion between reality and reality. According to legend, it is a projection of somewhere in the God Realm, but no one has ever been to it.

Is it possible that Master Mo has found a way to reach the mirage, and the Celestial Axis Crystal is one of the required materials?

As a result, Leng Ling was relieved, at least Mu Zhu did not continue to follow them.

"If you think about it, knowing what they are doing over there at Mirage will cost a lot, right?" Leng Ling said.

"There is no cost, because we really don't know," Hongzhuang shrugged.

Lin Chen raised his eyebrows slightly. It seemed that not all news could be found in the ghost market, but yes, if he really knew everything, it would be too unnatural.

"Where are Luo Ji and the others?" Leng Ling said directly.

"Thirty thousand years of Yangshou", Hongzhuang stretched out three fingers.

so much!

Although today's powerful people often live for millions or even millions of years, the fact is that their longevity is not that long. They spend most of their time in a seal, or use secret methods to fight against the erosion of time.

For example, the Immortal Queen uses the immortality method to constantly deceive time and extend her lifespan.

Sure enough, Leng Ling also frowned slightly.

It's just a trace, but it requires such a big price.

The price that needs to be paid is often determined by the difficulty of the ghost market in obtaining information and the importance of this information. Hongzhuang will not take the opportunity to buy low and sell high to knock him off.

"Deal", Leng Ling finally nodded.

"In Xingluo Ancient City," Hongzhuang said.

Xingluo Ancient City, it is said that a star once fell from the sky and landed on the No. 2 continent. However, the falling star did not create a huge crater on the ground. Instead, after the destructive power dissipated, an ancient city appeared there.

It is said that the city fell from the world of gods.

But it was an empty city, and countless people had entered it but found nothing.

Luo Ji and the others actually went to Xingluo Ancient City. Could it be that they received a revelation from the gods and knew the secrets hidden in Xingluo Ancient City?

"I'll give you a piece of advice. It's best not to go to them. Your life will be in danger." Hongzhuang smiled lightly.

Leng Ling's pupils shrank, but then he shook his head.

It has reached this point, even if it is dangerous, there is no way he will not go.

He not only wanted to intercept Hu Luoji, but more importantly, he wanted revenge. He wanted to make Luo Ji die without a burial place for humiliating him!

Otherwise, your thoughts will be blocked and your path will be unstable!

Seeing Leng Ling's insistence, Hongzhuang stopped trying to persuade her, "Do you still have any questions?"

"No problem, but I need a seed of life," Leng Ling said.

The Seed of Life is the seed of the Ancient Tree of Life. It has extremely amazing vitality. Leng Ling wants to use the Seed of Life to repair his injuries.

"I do have the Seed of Life here, but it's not cheap, one hundred thousand divine coins," Hongzhuang said.

In the ghost market, information transactions often charge Yangshou, which nourishes the ghosts themselves, but if you want to buy things, you use the spirit coins that are common to the gods and lands of heaven and earth.

After all, only god coins are the recognized currency, and the ghost market cannot give longevity to those customers who sell them things.

Leng Ling nodded, the price was quite fair, and then looked at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen rolled his eyes.

I dare you to pay for it.

But there is nothing that can be done, Leng Ling's world ring has been taken away.

"That's all, I'll put it in your account and remember to pay it back later," Lin Chen said helplessly.

Even Leng Ling, who was in a heightened state of mind, couldn't help but tremble at the moment.

Damn it, those were his and Mingtai’s money, but he still had to pay it back after using it. Isn’t that right?

Lin Chen paid 100,000 divine coins, which was not a small amount. If Lin Chen didn't have the world ring of Mingtai, a member of the Celestial God's tribe, he really wouldn't be able to afford it.

"Okay, the seed of life will be sent soon," Hongzhuang nodded.

Then she looked at Lin Chen, her beautiful eyes blinking slightly, "Then what is Mr. Lin Chen's request?"

"Ask a free question first," Lin Chen said.

"Please tell me."

"Do you have any information about other land masses?" Lin Chen asked.

"Naturally, the Lord of the Ghost City has the ability to cross the void between the continents. Apart from being unable to penetrate the God's Veil, there is no place he cannot touch," Hongzhuang said. She was full of awe for the Lord of the Ghost City.

That’s good!

"There is an old drunkard in the underground city. What is his origin?" Lin Chen asked.

"What old drunkard?" Hongzhuang blinked, she didn't know!

Didn't even the ghost market notice the old drunkard?

"Where is the Immortal Emperor now?" Lin Chen asked.

"...It seemed to be on the fifth continent before, but now...I don't know," Hongzhuang said.

"Ulie, a six-winged seraph, where is he?" Lin Chen asked.

"Seraph has ascended to the divine land outside the sky?" Hongzhuang was surprised.

Who is giving this information to whom?

Lin Chen looked at Hongzhuang and lost the awe he had before. He was completely clueless about this.

Hongzhuang is also a little embarrassed on her face.

But Lin Chen's questions were too tricky, and she didn't even know any of them.

"They didn't ascend, they were forcibly captured. You should have some clues, right?" Lin Chen asked.

"..." Hongzhuang thought for a moment and stretched out a finger.

"One year of longevity?" Lin Chen was suspicious, and then said reluctantly: "Okay, let's see if what you say is useful. Now I even suspect that you are a liar."

Hongzhuang almost stood up in anger.

But in the end I endured it.

Just one year. After all, she really didn't know Uriel's situation and could only provide a possible clue.

And the deal is indeed negotiable. She originally wanted to keep it for ten years.

"There is a magical ingredient workshop on the third continent. You can go and have a look," Hongzhuang said.

Divine ingredient workshop.

"The gods were made into divine ingredients in the divine land outside the sky?" Lin Chen was surprised.

"Of course not, but some high-level gods have special abilities and have the possibility of recovery. These types will be sent to the divine material workshop for secondary processing," Hongzhuang said.

Secondary processing...

This wording gave Lin Chen a chill.

That's a high-level god, and now it's really become fertilizer.

"Do you two have any questions?" Hongzhuang asked.

"You don't know even if I ask, so I won't ask anymore," Lin Chen said.

Hongzhuang gritted her teeth and really wanted to punch Lin Chen to death.

"Let's do this first," Leng Ling also said.

Immediately, the seed of life was delivered. After Leng Ling accepted it, Hongzhuang opened her mouth and inhaled. Leng Ling was sucked away thirty-five thousand and one years of life in one breath. She aged a bit visibly to the naked eye. All the energy and spirit came to the bottom.

Correspondingly, Hongzhuang's face became much rosier, and her strength also increased.

Not all ghosts have the ability to seize Yang Shou. They must either directly absorb the life essence, or devour the soul and absorb Yang Shou alone, which can be said to be unbelievable.

I'm afraid this was only possible thanks to the Lord of the Ghost Market.

Immediately, Hongzhuang sucked Lin Chen for one year of his life.

Hmm...no feeling at all.

Hongzhuang was helpless, indeed she didn’t feel anything at all.

"Then I'll take my leave first!"

After the transaction was completed, Leng Ling stood up and left.

When Hongzhuang saw this, a trace of worry appeared on her face, and she whispered: "Be careful, don't die."

Leng Ling paused, nodded, and walked out.

It was only at this moment that Lin Chen was sure that the two of them were really friends. After all, it was just business, and there was nothing like friends.

The two left, the lights in the room returned to what they were before, and the red makeup disappeared, returning to the picture of the lady.

"How do you know each other?" Lin Chen asked curiously.

"I dug up that painting by accident," Leng Ling replied calmly without saying much.

"Oh," Lin Chen said in surprise.

"Oh~~" Bai Shu's eyes sparkled and he had the urge to eat.

The two walked out of the yard and were about to leave the ghost market and return to the outside world when they were stopped by someone.

It's the temple at the end of the street.

The mansion of the Lord of the Ghost Market!

At this moment, there was a paper man standing in front of the door, looking gloomy. He was facing Lin Chen with a stiff smile.

For a moment, the ghost market seemed to become even quieter, and the picture of a lady in the yard trembled slightly, the ancient lamp swayed, and the red makeup seemed to be walking out of it again.

"Master Lin, the master invites you," the paper man said.

Just looking for yourself? !

Leng Ling frowned, but knew he couldn't stop it.

But the picture of the lady has returned to calm.

Obviously she was just worried that the owner of the ghost market would cause trouble for Leng Ling. As for Lin Chen, the stingy guy should be taught a lesson!

Lin Chen exhaled, if that's the case, let's go and meet him!
