The cultivators looked varied in appearance. Though they appeared human, there were always so peculiar quirks; for example, so had three arms, so cultivators had two heads, so were incredibly tall, and so had a chest pierced through... the list went on.
In comparison, the short stature of the Five Ghost Kings and Yun Qi’s two bright black mustaches seed rather ordinary.
Wang Ba even saw so cultivators passing by who looked similar to them.
Strange, novel, interesting...
This was Wang Ba’s first ti seeing so many people from different domains, and he couldn’t conceal his amazent.
This is indeed the charm of cultivation, always seeing different sceneries.
Soon, the group landed at the market’s outskirts, receiving a separate place at a designated warehouse to store their belongings.
After that, Wang Ba finally had the ti to observe the market.
What t his eyes was a vast cluster of wooden buildings stretching endlessly.
If calculated, it was as large as several Little Cang Worlds combined.
Above the cluster of wooden buildings was the tail end of a huge ’horn’, and from ti to ti, figures of cultivators flew into it, and occasionally, voices of cultivators erged.
"That’s the real entrance to the Sea Market, now in open status."
The Corpse-digging Ghost King noticed Wang Ba’s gaze and stepped forward to explain.
Wang Ba nodded.
However, Wang Ba still noticed that the market seed vaguely divided into several areas.
Before he could speak, the Corpse-digging Ghost King began to explain:
"Although this outer market of the Sea Market is governed by various forces, the Three Realms each have their own stalls; Jade Pot Workshop, Holy Desecration Hall, and Double Body Hall mainly sell middle or low-tier spirit materials. The largest trading location is actually ’Haitou Square’, where all the forces combined efforts, and this is where you can find good stuff."
As he spoke, he pointed in a few directions from a distance:
"Haitou Square encompasses the Dao Treasure Workshop, Human Market, Flower Market, and Immortal Cave in these four zones."
"I can guess what Dao Treasure Workshop ans, but what do Human Market, Flower Market, and Immortal Cave an?"
Wang Ba couldn’t help but ask curiously.
"Hehe, you have to walk through them yourself to understand."
The Corpse-digging Ghost King laughed, retaining a sense of mystery.
Seeing this, Wang Ba also grew a bit curious.
However, after thinking, he rembered what mattered most:
"First, let’s find an Artifact Refining Grandmaster who can repair an Innate Dao Treasure."
"Rest assured, Mountain Lord, leave it to . I know soone, and if they co this ti, it should et your needs."
The Corpse-digging Ghost King showed a ’leave it to ’ expression.
He imdiately led Wang Ba and the others into a sowhat sparse cluster of buildings.
Here, was precisely what the Corpse-digging Ghost King previously referred to as the ’Dao Treasure Workshop’.
The gaps between buildings were significant, but inside the buildings, light circulated, and Dao intention proliferated.
Just getting closer, the sound of vendors and conversations filled their ears.
"...A middle-grade Dao Treasure with fifteen Innate Cloud Bans, unmatched in combat, a missed opportunity and it’ll never co again, can be exchanged for items, can be exchanged for tokens..."
"Can this Innate Dao Treasure be cheaper? It wasn’t natural growth after all..."
"...Five hundred thousand tokens, no haggling!"
"Ha, do you think this is an immortal treasure! Keep that price to bury yourself when you die!"
"Bah! If it really were an immortal treasure, your life wouldn’t even cover it!"
Sellers and buyers were cursing and bickering.
"So, Dao Treasure Workshop is indeed where Innate Dao Treasures are traded."
Yu Wuheng followed behind with a hint of interest in his eyes.
This place was huge, and hundreds of various Innate Dao Treasures were displayed.
Many cultivators were inside scrutinizing with their hands behind their backs.
So were engaged in conversations in small groups.
The Corpse-digging Ghost King dared not neglect Yu Wuheng, feeling that he seed even stronger than Yun Zaitian, who had been slain by Chong Hua.
He nodded:
"Yes, whether it’s our own nurtured Innate Dao Treasures or those collected from inside the Sea Market, they’re generally traded here. People often find gems unexpectedly, buying extrely useful Dao Treasures... Oh, and there’s gambling for treasures..."
"Wang Bing!"
The Vine Grinding Ghost King lowered his voice and called sternly.
The Corpse-digging Ghost King imdiately replied sheepishly:
"I was just ntioning it... I don’t like playing it anyway."
Wang Ba turned to look at the Vine Grinding Ghost King, who helplessly explained:
"Wang Bing once ca here to trade Innate Dao Treasures but ended up gambling for treasures and lost everything he had, eventually working for free for several hundred years..."
Upon hearing this, Wang Ba realized.
No wonder the Corpse-digging Ghost King was so familiar with this market; he had a history with it.
The Corpse-digging Ghost King chuckled twice, seeing Yu Wuheng and Yu Yu and others were quite interested as they wandered within, pointing to the depths of the market:
"Let’s move on; there’s nothing much to see here. There are many treasures inside."
"Moreover, this is just the outer area; there are no Artifact Refining Grandmasters here."
Wang Ba nodded, continuing to follow the Corpse-digging Ghost King inward.
Sowhat curious, he asked:
"I heard soone ntion ’Immortal Treasure’ earlier, what is that?"
"Immortal Treasure?"
The Corpse-digging Ghost King paused, then laughed, shaking his head:
"That’s considered an old joke. It’s said that before the Sea of Chaos Realm appeared, there were two immortals battling, and one of them died, leaving his treasure’s whereabouts unknown. So said the treasure was hidden in the Immortal Forbidden Land, others said in the Sea Market. Later, people ca out from the Sea Market, using the na of the immortal’s treasure to fool others, and surprisingly tricked quite a few people. Eventually, everyone learned of this scam, and it just beca an insult buyers throw at each other."
"Ha-ha, actually, thinking back, people were quite naive. If there really were an Immortal Treasure, there should be anomalies, you could spot it at a glance, and if it truly were an Immortal Treasure, how could it possibly be in this market? It would have been snatched away long ago!"
Wang Ba, hearing this, also agreed with a nod.
The group continued wandering around.
However, it wasn’t long before Yu Wuheng, who was following behind, suddenly paused slightly, as if sensing sothing, a trace of surprise and a bit of joy flashing in his eyes.
Wang Ba, constantly alert to his surroundings, naturally noticed Yu Wuheng’s change, and curiously transmitted:
"What’s wrong?"
Yu Wuheng slightly shook his head, whispering:
"Land-Parting Staff... I feel fragnts of the Land-Parting Staff around."
