In front of the shop with an ancient and simple color.
Jiang Shi’s figure silently appeared here, raised his palm, and knocked according to the pattern the person had just used, producing a series of thumping sounds.
Three tis consecutively.
The old and heavy door suddenly revealed a small gap, from which a withered hand sprang out, accompanied by a hoarse voice.
"Does the guest have a token?"
Jiang Shi smiled slightly, took out the token he carried, and placed it in the palm of the large hand.
The large hand retracted into the shop, scrutinized the token closely, and soon widened the door gap further, allowing Jiang Shi to enter.
As soon as he entered, Jiang Shi’s gaze swept around.
He saw that the interior of the shop was extraordinarily dim; it seed surrounded by a grand array, distorting and folding light, severely hindering vision, making it blurry.
Additionally, the entire shop was suffused with a difficult-to-express oppressive atmosphere.
Upon entering, Jiang Shi imdiately felt the power within his body rapidly dissipate, as if encountering a certain suppression.
He seed thoughtful, instantly understanding.
"Guest, please follow ."
A young girl appeared by his side, bowed in greeting, and led Jiang Shi toward the rear.
Jiang Shi glanced at the girl, then imdiately followed her.
In the middle of the main hall, an old man in a gray robe stood silently, head lowered, hair flowing over his shoulders, skin exposed, appearing wrinkled and aged.
The hand just now must have belonged to him.
With just one glance, Jiang Shi could sense the powerful blood and energy within the old man’s body.
"A skilled body cultivator, physically remarkable!"
Jiang Shi thought to himself.
Following the girl, they entered the backyard, and soon the girl led him to a thick wall, extending her palm and pressing lightly on it.
The entire wall slowly sank, automatically revealing a deep entrance.
"Guest may go down."
The girl said bowing.
Jiang Shi looked towards the deep entrance below, his Insight Talent unfolding, and saw winding paths inside, unfathomably deep, seemingly endless at first glance.
He pondered slightly, nodded, and said, "Thank you."
"You’re welco, guest."
The girl replied.
Jiang Shi imdiately stepped forward towards the deep entrance below.
As he proceeded, the feeling of power suppression grew increasingly intense and thick, as if a strange magnetic field enveloped the surroundings.
Normally, the deeper he went, the greater the grand array’s power.
He continued moving forward.
Approximately ten minutes passed.
Jiang Shi finally reached the end of the passage.
There, he saw a spacious hall, covering more than a thousand ters, with lights flickering all around, as bright as day.
The hall was already filled with seats.
A good number of people were seated.
Most wore masks, their identities mysterious.
Only a few did not bother disguising themselves, but whether their faces were covered with human skin masks was unknown.
As soon as Jiang Shi entered, he chose an empty seat and sat down voluntarily.
As he expected, the suppression in this hall was over ten tis stronger than outside.
Any power here could not be exerted at all.
At this mont, everyone remained silent, patiently awaiting the opening of the ghost market.
After a while.
Gradually, more people began to enter from outside.
One by one, strong individuals continuously took seats.
After half an hour.
The entire hall was nearly overcrowded.
All seats were filled with skilled individuals.
Even so latecors had no place to sit, forcing them to stand temporarily.
A clear bell rang.
A tall, exquisite woman gracefully walked over from the back, smiled, and said, "Thank you all for coming from afar to our Midnight Ghost Tower. You are all likely familiar with the Ghost Tower’s rules, using auction thods, with the highest bidder winning. If there are three consecutive instances of no increased bids, the item will belong to the last bidder. I will not say much else, as I believe you’ve already grown impatient waiting. Now, the Ghost Tower’s auction will formally begin."
Everyone involuntarily straightened their bodies, facial expressions slightly tightened, looking towards the front.
Two graceful young girls erged, carrying a large tray from the backstage, carefully placing it on a table at the front.
Inside the tray was a peculiar-looking plant!
The entire plant was deep red, as if stained with blood, about twenty centiters tall, with faint scale-like growths, resembling a strange dragon shape.
Even faintly wafting blood fragrance could be slled from it.
Many eyes flashed, showing surprise and doubt.
"Dragon Blood Golden Grass!"
"This is actually Dragon Blood Golden Grass!"
"What a huge Dragon Blood Golden Grass, judging by its age, at least over a thousand years!"
Many quickly discussed.
"Dragon Blood Golden Grass?"
Jiang Shi lightly furrowed his brow.
"It is a supre divine herb used for purifying bloodlines and rebuilding physiques. It’s said that rely consuming it allows one’s blood to transform into dragon blood, possessing imnse power. More importantly, this herb forms a second heart inside the body, enabling resurrection even after death. However, this herb is extrely rare, usually growing only where a True Dragon has bled and requires dragon blood to mature. Hence, each appearance is exceptionally rare."
Daoist Master Xuan’s soul transmission suddenly echoed in Jiang Shi’s mind.
"So miraculous?"
