Dragon Devouring Cultivation

Chapter 23 Ghost Market
Li Zhen was promoted to the second level of Qi training. Li's mother had practiced for many years, which was also the second level of Qi training. This shows the importance of spiritual root talent to cultivation.

He opened his identity bracelet, and his own information was displayed on his retina, showing that his realm had been raised to the second level of Qi training, and his spiritual power had reached 10.1.

The improvement of spiritual power is only a part of the changes in the second level of Qi training. He can feel his mind clear, which is a manifestation of mental enhancement.

However, his body, due to the dragon heart, was already far stronger than a second-level Qi training cultivator, so there was no change at this moment.

When you are at the first level of Qi training, 10 points of spiritual power is the limit. At the second level of Qi training, the spiritual power limit reaches 30 points. This also allows the second level of Qi training to have more spiritual power to cast spells, and is no longer as tight as at the first level of Qi training.

Like the basic magic class he took in school, he is still learning the theory and has not learned how to cast spells.

The biggest reason is that the spiritual power of first-year junior high school students is too little to support the practice of spells.

After finishing his training, Li Zhen couldn't fall asleep for a while. He took out the Soul-Sealing Silver Spider Web and the Jiutian C045 medium-grade flying sword.

Now that he has reached the second level of Qi training, he can use the Soul-Sealing Silver Spider Web, a first-grade lower-grade magical weapon, with ease. It is no longer as strenuous as when he was at the first level of Qi training.

The Jiutian C045 medium-grade flying sword is still difficult to use, and I am afraid it will take until the middle stage of Qi training to truly unleash its power.

He further refined the two magical weapons. Before he got better ones, these two magical weapons would be his main means of self-defense. He found that he was still lacking a defensive magical weapon.

"Hey!" After finishing everything, he was about to go to bed when he heard a sound coming from outside.

Perhaps it was because of the fusion of the dragon heart that his hearing became extremely sensitive.

He got out of bed quietly and opened the door a crack.

He saw Father Li talking to Mother Li. He almost didn't recognize Father Li because he was wearing a black robe with a hood.

"You are not like when you were young. It's been many years since you last had a fight. Be careful not to conflict with others!" Li's mother said worriedly.

"It's just going to the ghost market, and it's still in the city, nothing will happen!" Father Li comforted with a smile.

Li Zhen was stunned. Father Li was going to the ghost market so late.

He had heard about the Ghost Market from Yu Nan. The Ghost Market was an illegal trading place.

Mr. Li and Mrs. Li are both honest spirit plant husbands. How could they have any connection with the ghost market?

While he was thinking, Li's father had left, and Li's mother sighed and returned to the room.

Li Zhen turned around and found a set of black clothes in the closet, then opened the window and jumped out.

Smart housekeeper Mei Yun will only sound an alarm for external intrusions. Li Zhen had never sneaked out at night before, and Li's father and mother had not made any relevant settings for Mei Yun. Therefore, although Mei Yun discovered that Li Zhen had gone out, she did not remind Li's mother.

Li Zhen followed behind Li's father. Instead of driving, Li's father took out a "light body talisman" and activated it.

A light flashed on Father Li's legs, and then disappeared. His running speed increased greatly, and each step was five meters long.

This made Li Zhen suffer. He also had a light body talisman, and it was a mid-grade light body talisman, but he was reluctant to use it in order to hurry on his journey.

In addition, he felt that his speed was not slow and he should be able to keep up with Father Li.

The routes taken by Mr. Li were all quite remote, with few people and no surveillance.

Li Zhen wrote down the route while trying hard to catch up, but he couldn't let Li's father discover him.

Even though Father Li could only take one step of five meters and was very fast, Li Zhen was not much weaker than him.

Li Zhen's breathing was steady. He couldn't take one step of five meters, but three or four meters was not a problem for him. In addition, he deliberately quickened his pace so that he would not be left behind by Li's father.

He also discovered that his physical strength was extremely amazing. The way the "Light Body Talisman" increased speed was by reducing the user's own weight. At the same speed, he would consume more physical strength than Father Li.

But in fact, Li Zhen did not feel the physical exhaustion. Instead, he became more energetic as he ran.

Father Li came to an alley beside the north city wall and covered his face with a scarf.

"Do you know the rules? You have to pay 100 credit points anonymously to enter. Transactions must be conducted with the presence of a middleman who will charge a 10% fee!" a man said in a deep voice in the darkness of the street.

This was not the first time that Mr. Li came here. He used his ID bracelet to pay 100 credit points to enter the alley. Thirty seconds after Mr. Li entered, Li Zhen also paid 100 credit points to enter the alley. Anonymous payment will not reveal personal information.

As soon as he entered the alley, he discovered that the connection between his identity bracelet and the outside world was disrupted. Either there was a formation set up in the alley, or some technological means had blocked the signal.

He was a little worried at first, but when he saw many people in the alley, he realized that this was the rule of the ghost market.

He first looked among the crowd and found Li's father.

He focused part of his attention on Father Li and also went to the ghost market.

There are street stalls on both sides of the alley, and each stall is illuminated by dim lights, making it difficult to see the items on the stalls clearly.

Li Zhen could accurately judge the grade of the items on the stall without using his eyes.

"Fellow Daoist, the treasures here are all brought back from the battlefield of the Demon Kingdom. You can sell them at a low price!" A cultivator who was setting up a stall saw Li Zhen standing still and hurriedly started to solicit business.

Li Zhen took two quick steps but did not approach the stall.

In fact, among the more than 20 items on the stall, he sensed the aura of spiritual objects in only three of them, and one of them barely reached the lower grade of the first rank, which was equivalent to the quality of the practice sword he used.

The other two spiritual objects are genuine first-grade lower-grade items, but compared to the more than 20 items, the proportion is too small.

This is a ghost market for monks, not a street market for ordinary people.

On the other side, Father Li was squatting in front of a stall, talking to the stall owner.

Not long after, the stall owner called a monk with a mark on his arm. This monk should be the one from the ghost market.

The role of the middleman is to help complete the payment. The signal of the identity bracelet in the ghost market is blocked. If you want to pay credit points, a middleman must be present to help activate the temporary signal.

In addition, the most important task of the middleman is to collect transaction fees. All monks who trade in the Ghost Market must pay a 10% fee to the organizer of the Ghost Market.

Father Li completed the transaction and prepared to leave.

"Attention, the Security Bureau will arrive in two minutes, all monks please evacuate!" Suddenly, a voice came from the alley.

This sound performed a secret technique that could be heard by all the monks in the alley.

At the same time, the monks from the Ghost Market opened other closed entrances in the alley. This alley had a city wall on one side and multiple entrances on the other side, which had been blocked by formations before.

The crowd was in chaos. Although the existence of the ghost market had certain rationality, it was illegal after all.

Being caught by the Public Security Bureau is not a big deal, but it will result in a large credit point penalty, and no one wants to lose their hard-earned credit points.

Li Zhen stared at Li's father, who had already left the open entrance and entered another alley.

He followed quickly, and several other monks chose this path and entered the alley before him.

Just as he was about to enter the alley, he sensed the aura of a large number of spiritual creatures. He took a quick look and saw a monk carrying a package climbing over the wall and entering a yard.

Li Zhen paused for two more breaths and noted the courtyard that the cultivator entered.

It is not so easy to enter other people's yards. Every house has an intelligent system. Unauthorized entry will be immediately detected and monitored by the intelligent system, and the surveillance footage will also be sent to the Public Security Bureau.

If you are proven to have trespassed into someone else's home, you will have to wait for the Sheriff's Department to issue a warrant for your arrest.

Therefore, the cultivator who entered the yard most likely lived here. Even based on the number of spiritual objects in the cultivator's hands, Li Zhen was wondering whether the cultivator had any connection with the Ghost Market, or whether he himself was a member of the Ghost Market.

Li Zhen entered the alley, staring at Li's father's back and following closely.

At this time, the identity bracelet was ready for use. He opened the map. Now he no longer had to worry about losing Father Li, because the direction Father Li was taking was exactly the route he took back home.

From the Ghost Market came the sound of the Public Security Bureau's alarm and the noise of many people. It seemed that many monks would be caught by the Public Security Bureau this time.

Father Li was lucky as he was located near a hidden exit, giving him the opportunity to leave first.
