Chapter 369: Chapter 251: The Master of Fengdu City! (Seeking Subscription)

“Oh?”

Xu Yang said with joy upon hearing this: “Has the reputation of our haunted house already spread out? In that case, we can attract more ghosts… That’s a good thing!”

“…”

The girls all had a confused look on their faces.

Liu Shishi said: “Husband, according to the rules you set, any ghost or evil spirit that enters the haunted house will be rewarded with a certain prize… The more ghosts that come, the more money we will spend, so how can this be a good thing?”

More ghosts.

More virtue points.

How is that not a good thing?

However, Xu Yang wasn’t going to explain this; even if he did, others probably wouldn’t believe him, so he solemnly said: “The Yin-Yang Path is broken, so many souls that should have gone to the Underworld Palace to reincarnate are trapped in the human world, turning into wandering spirits with no one to rely on… Now that they have come to our Xi Xia territory, what’s wrong with giving them some money to improve their lives?”

Upon hearing this, the girls felt like Xu Yang’s image had become even greater.

Xu Yang continued: “Besides, when these ghosts come to our Xi Xia Ghost Market, they can’t come empty-handed, right? They’ll have to spend money and trade, and since the Xi Xia Ghost Market is our turf, all the wealth will eventually flow to our pockets.”

He thought for a moment, and said: “Qiluo, my wife, you have a lot of connections, so send some Minor Demons to spread the word about our Xi Xia Ghost Market in the surrounding areas, attracting more ghosts to our Ghost Market.”

Yue Qiluo said: “My husband, the territory of each Ghost Market is clearly defined, with each region having its own Ghost King or Sovereign. I’m afraid other Ghost Kings would not agree if we openly poach their territories.”

“So what if they don’t agree?”

Xu Yang laughed and said: “The ghosts have their own legs; if they have the ability, let them tie up the ghosts in their territories. If they can’t, let them come to Wu City and find me.”

When they heard this, the girls couldn’t help but laugh.

Coming to Wu City to look for trouble with Xu Yang?

Xu Yang, who is now famous in Da Xia, is already grateful that they aren’t causing trouble for those Ghost Kings. Who would be so blind as to come and provoke Xu Yang?

After dinner, Liu Shishi and Yue Qiluo took Tu Xiaoyu to the Ghost Market in advance.

Xu Yang sent a text message to Ma Long and then went to the funeral shop.

It was already 10 pm, but the door of the funeral shop was still wide open.

“Master.”

As soon as he entered, Ma Xiaotiao came up to greet him and asked: “Master, are you going to the Ghost Market again?”

“Yes.”

Xu Yang nodded and looked at Ma Xiaotiao with a smile: “Not bad, not bad… When did you break through?”

Ma Xiaotiao scratched his head and said honestly: “I just broke through to the third level of the Qi Refining Realm this morning. My talents are dull, and my cultivation is too slow.”

It has only been a month since Ma Xiaotiao came into contact with the Divine Ascension Scripture.

In one month, he went from being a beginner to the third level of the Qi Refining Realm. This cultivation speed is definitely considered good in the martial world, and Ma Xiaotiao’s “dull talent” would be considered humble bragging if others heard it.

However, to Xu Yang’s ears, it didn’t seem like much.

He reassured: “Since I’ve passed on the Divine Ascension Scripture to you, I haven’t given you much guidance. It’s already quite good that you could reach the third level of the Qi Refining Realm within a month… By the way, once you reach the third level of the Qi Refining Realm, you can try cultivating Daoist talismans.”

Xu Yang waved his hand and took out a talisman brush.

This talisman brush, which Xu Yang obtained at Xishan Wanshou Palace, originally belonged to Wei Daochang of the Lu Shan Sect. The quality was excellent and extremely valuable.

Ma Xiaotiao took the talisman brush and said: “Thank you, Master. I will definitely practice well and not let you down.”

“As for cultivation, just do as you wish; there’s no need to put too much pressure on yourself.”

Xu Yang waved his hand, and asked: “Where’s Yue Ya?”

“Yue Ya knows that the Master is coming and is preparing a late-night snack for the Master upstairs.”

Ma Xiaotiao went upstairs quickly and came down with a plate of sugar cookies in no time.

Yue Ya, wearing an apron, greeted Xu Yang and said: “Master Xu, this is a deep-fried sugar cookie from my hometown. I don’t know if you’ll like it.”

The shape of these sugar cookies was somewhat like that of a mooncake.

However, mooncakes are made with a mold, while these sugar cookies are handmade and not as delicate.

The golden, crispy, deep-fried crust encased black sugar, peanuts, and sesame seeds, and the taste was quite good.

After eating four deep-fried sugar cookies in a row, Xu Yang wiped his mouth and asked: “Yue Ya, are you used to living here? Ma Xiaotiao hasn’t been bullying you, has he?”

After chatting for a bit,

Ma Xiaotiao reported the business situation of the shop.

In recent days, the funeral shop’s business has been booming.

Especially for paper money and paper offerings used in sacrificial rituals, the demand is immense.

It’s not that more people have died recently, but after people learn that the deceased do indeed turn into ghosts, they start to pay more attention to their deceased ancestors.

“This is a good thing.”

Xu Yang said: “I’ll talk to the bosses next door and buy their shops, knock down the walls, and expand the funeral shop… In the future, the demand for these things will only increase, so we must be prepared.”

Soon, it was 12 o’clock.

Ma Long drove his BMW and arrived at the funeral shop’s entrance on time.

As his cultivation advanced, his “Extremely Yin Body” became more apparent, and his whole body exuded a cold aura.

His attractiveness to Yin spirits and malevolent beings had become even more lethal!

However, Ma Long was unaware of this.

As his cultivation improved, he became somewhat arrogant. His favorite thing to do during the day, besides practicing at home and messing around with the ghost “Xiao Hong” from the brothel, was visiting the martial world forums!

Nowadays, the ID “Liangli Baitiao” is quite famous on the martial world forums, often arguing with masters, pointing to the sky and painting the ground; luckily, the “IP address” of the martial world forums is off, or he would have been hacked long ago.

Getting out of his BMW,

Ma Long was wearing a floral shirt, big shorts, a leather bag clipped to his knee with a box of Chinese cigarettes sticking out, and a pair of sunglasses on his forehead. He walked in casually and said: “Old Xu, I’m not late, am I?”

“The timing is just right.”

Xu Yang glanced at his watch and said: “Let’s go to the Ghost Market first.”

The two of them went to the quiet crossroads and took out a corpse-oil candle. With closed eyes, they walked forward and eventually disappeared in front of the road.

The next moment.

A rustling sound came from nearby, and when Xu Yang opened his eyes, he and Ma Long had already arrived in front of the “Ghost Gate” formed by those two elm trees.

Nowadays, Xu Yang and Ma Long could enter the Ghost Market without wearing masks.

They passed through the “Ghost Gate” and came to the street, where various ghostly figures greeted them by calling out “Master Xu” and “Brother Long.”

Some martial world newcomers who didn’t know Xu Yang were shocked to see this.

“Big brother, didn’t you say that we must hide our true selves and not let the ghosts know we’re living creatures when entering the Ghost Market? Otherwise, it’s hard to get out alive… but why don’t these two need to hide themselves or even wear masks?”

The new martial arts seeker was confused. “And those ghosts… they’re actually greeting them while bowing down? Should we also take off our masks? This Pig Bajie mask is really uncomfortable!”

“Shut up!”

A fellow martial artist slapped him hard, scolding, “Bloody hell, if you want to die, don’t take us with you… That’s Master Xu. Do you know him? What level do you think you’re at to compare yourself to him?”

……

“Master Xu!”

“Brother Long!”

Faced with the greetings from many ghosts, Xu Yang calmly nodded in response.

Suddenly, Xu Yang paused and looked at a stall on the side of the street.

He saw a red wooden coffin placed at the stall, accompanied by many strange items. Behind the coffin, there was pitch-black darkness without any candlelight or human head lanterns hanging. A ghostly figure hid in the darkness… According to the taboos of the Ghost Market, when encountering such a stall, you must stay far away and never look or buy anything!

Otherwise, you’d provoke the taboo, and the ghost behind the stall would come after you.

Xu Yang looked at the ghostly figure in the darkness and frowned slightly.

Ma Long was furious, stepping into the darkness and grabbing the short ghost figure by his collar, scolding, “You damn thing, our Ghost Market’s new rule is that all stalls must light up… What the hell are you hiding behind for?”

“……”

The ghost was dumbfounded.

What the heck!

Are these two humans really this courageous?

And when did the Ghost Market have such a rule?

It was only two months ago that I went traveling to other places… has the atmosphere of Xi Xia Ghost Market changed so much already?

“Old Hu!”

At this moment, the ghost from the neighboring stall hurriedly came out. He was a hanging ghost with a super-long tongue, nodding and bowing, “Master Xu, Brother Long… Please don’t be angry. Old Hu was not in Xi Xia these past few days and only just returned tonight, so he doesn’t know about the new Ghost Market regulations… May you be magnanimous and give Old Hu a chance to make a living.”

Xu Yang waved his hand, signaling Ma Long to let go.

“All right, get back to your business. No exceptions!”

He said, “I understand that everyone’s business is not easy, but since it’s a business, you must follow the rules. Some taboos also need to change… Otherwise, in the future, who would dare to enter our Ghost Market?”

“I will establish some rules to regulate the order of our Xi Xia Ghost Market later on… At that time, I’ll have the ghosts post the notices on the streets, so you all pay attention and read.”

After giving this ghost a few words, Xu Yang continued towards the heart of the market.

Soon, he arrived at the Haunted House.

He saw a long queue in front of the Haunted House, especially among some unfamiliar faces who had come from all around just to witness the Haunted House in the Ghost Market!

Xu Yang was delighted to see this. He asked Ma Long to quickly bring the underworld soldiers to maintain order, while he went straight inside the Haunted House.

Quickly.

Xu Yang discovered something unusual.

The Yin spirits and malevolent beings inside the Haunted House were all standing still as if they had been immobilized by a Body-fixing Skill, and even his own “Dream Creation Skill” couldn’t affect them…

No!

Not all of them!

There was still one ghost who was unaffected.

This ghost looked like a middle-aged man.

He wore a set of green scholar’s robes, giving off a scholarly atmosphere. With his hands behind his back, his figure flickered, and he appeared in front of Xu Yang in an instant.

Xu Yang’s pupils shrank!

He didn’t feel the slightest bit of “Yin energy” from the middle-aged man in the green robe, but he was sure… this person was not a human!

Rather…

He had the same aura as Yue Niang!

Ghost Immortal?

A creature from the Underworld Palace?

Xu Yang immediately stood up, his body’s energy surging, the essence of the sword bursting out, and put himself on alert, asking in a deep voice, “Who are you and what are you doing in my Xi Xia Ghost Market?” ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

The middle-aged man laughed, “Master Xu, don’t be alarmed, I have no ill intentions… I came here for you. My name is Qing Shan, and I am the master of Fengdu.”

“What?”

Xu Yang almost jumped up, exclaiming, “Emperor Beiyin of Fengdu?”

“No, no, no…”

The middle-aged man waved his hand hurriedly, saying, “I am not Emperor Beiyin of Fengdu, but the master of Fengdu Ghost Market, simply known as the Master of Fengdu.”

Fengdu Ghost Market’s master?

Xu Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief… Damn, that scared me to death!

I really thought the Ghost Emperor of Fengdu had come to the mortal world!

But then again, as mighty as the Ghost Emperor of Fengdu is, even if he came to the mortal world, why would he come to Xi Xia Ghost Market to see me?

So, he mocked, “Calling yourself the Master of Fengdu, isn’t that a bit too arrogant? If Emperor Beiyin finds out about this… I’m afraid he won’t let you off easily!”
