“Brother Zhu!”

“Zhu, long time no see, haha.”

“Brother Zhu, have you brought some good stuff again? Remember to let us have a look!”

Not just Wu Hai, many cultivators in the Ghost Market seemed to be quite familiar with this Zhu Jianyi. They all greeted him enthusiastically.

“Hehe, it’s been a while, you guys.”

“Fellow cultivator Jiang, indeed I’ve brought something good this time, but 1 don’t know if it will meet your liking.”

A cultivator in blue robe, not strikingly handsome but carrying a noble aura, stepped forward.

Several junior Qi refining cultivators followed behind him.

After scanning the cultivators in the cave, although Wang Ba seemed unfamiliar to him, he didn’t overthink it.

Before long, he bypassed Wang Ba and started cordially chatting with those he recognized.

Wu Hai, who was pushed aside by the crowd, could only wave to the fellow without being able to pitch in, and noticing Wang Ba still in his spot, he hurriedly said:

“Shen, why don’t you go and talk with Brother Zhu?”

He wanted to drag Wang Ba over there.

Worried about his cover being blown, Wang Ba quickly refused, “Well…let’s not, for now.”

Wu Hai was taken aback, casting a suspicious look at Wang Ba.

Seeing this, Wang Ba grew anxious and was plotting to implant a new idea into Wu Hai’s mind.

However, he saw Wu Hai suddenly understood, “1 see. With your level of friendship, there’s indeed no need for such formalities.”

Wu Hai’s face filled with envy momentarily,

As if wondering why he wasn’t as fortunate.

But Wang Ba wasn’t loosening up and continued to study Wu Hai, ensuring that the Power of the Yin God was still effective. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief.

Not that he was afraid.

In Jinhe’s Ghost Market, the highest cultivation level was that Zhu Jianyi who just entered. He was just at the eighth stage of Qi refining.

Wang Ba was confident about defeating him even without his magic tools or spirit beast.

However, he didn’t want to create any disturbance during this visit. He was here solely to see if there were places where he could exchange for Class II resources.

If he attracted trouble from some major faction behind the scenes, it would not be worth it.

Luckily, Wu Hai didn’t pay much attention to him anymore. Instead, he admiringly watched Zhu Jianyi engaging jovially in a crowd of cultivators, with eyes full of envy and longing.

Wang Ba truly couldn’t relate to such feelings.

After a period of pleasantries, Zhu Jianyi had replaced the two previous managers of the Ghost Market, stood at the higher platform in the cave, gestured with his hands to hush the crowd.

“Gentlemen, please hear me out.”

The cave suddenly fell silent.

Zhu Jianyi, seemingly satisfied with this reaction, began to speak:

“Not long ago, the cultivation of my master advanced another step.”

As soon as his words fell, sounds of admiration and exclamation came from the cultivators below:

“What?! Breaking through again so quickly? Master Lin truly is a prodigy!”

“That’s terrific!”

“Indeed, we in Jinhe City are lucky to have Master Lin and Master Gao protecting us. Otherwise, we would’ve been destroyed by those damn sects! Those bastards can’t defend against foreign invasions, but they sure are good at screwing their own people over!”

“Heh, in the eyes of those sect disciples, Liu Feilong, you are not one of ‘us,’ so don’t make yourself look high and mighty.”

“Can’t I just talk?!”

Within the crowd, hearing those words, Wang Ba’s heart grew heavy.

It seemed like there were only two Foundation Establishment cultivators in Jinhe City.

Zhu Jianyi’s master, Master Lin, seemed to be advancing quite fast in his cultivation. The estimated realm was quite advanced and should not be underestimated.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Jianyi immediately said:

“Actually, what 1 wanted to mention is not just this. With the increase in my master’s cultivation base, some treasures which were previously useful have become obsolete to him. Due to the difficulty of cultivating in Jinhe City, he decided to sell these items at a low price to you all. That’s the main purpose of my visit today.”

Right after Zhu Jianyi finished his words, excitement filled the air among the cultivators.

“Good!”

“Master Lin is compassionate and merciful! A true cultivator with great virtue!” “Zhu, why didn’t you say about this earlier? I didn’t bring enough spirit stones!” “Yes! Damn it, Zhu! Can you wait for a while? I’ll go back and fetch my spirit stones!”

Hearing this, Zhu Jianyi laughed heartily: “You two are well-known for your integrity across Jinhe City. Even if you fall short, I trust you two!”

These words incited another round of cheers from the cultivators.

However, Wang Ba was quite indifferent to this.

What a Qi Refinning cultivator could take out, despite being discarded items of the Foundation Establishment cultivator, was of no interest to him.

What attracted him was Zhu Jianyi himself.

Being able to access many high-level Ghost Markets, possibly even those at the Foundation Establishment level, Wang Ba wanted the information from these markets.

Therefore, he planned to seek Zhu Jianyi after the trading session at the Ghost Market.

However, when he saw what Zhu Jianyi took out from his storage bag, he couldn’t help but shudder.

“Blood pill?!”

“No, wrong! It only looks similar…”

Wang Ba couldn’t help but use his spiritual sense to scan the blood-red pill in Zhu Jianyi’s hands, and his expression subtly changed.

Inside the blood-red pill, there was a fat, white, wiggling worm. Its body undulated as it dozed off with its legs twitching occasionally.

“A Gu insect? Or what is it?”

Wang Ba recalled the various pieces of information and creatures he had read about, and tried to match them to the creature in front of him.

But most recordings in books were commonly known facts and wouldn’t record secrets like this..
