Everyone bowed with the etiquette of peers and looked at him curiously. He was the youngest and should be the strongest cultivator in the group. Lu Yan dealt with them with a few words and decisively left.
He had no intention of staying for a few more days, so he ran out of the city openly. No one made things difficult for him, so Lu Yan was allowed to leave the town directly.
Getting back on the road, Lu Yan found an open area, took out the fragrant scarlet jelly block, and rubbed his hands, changing the card to summon the [Gourmet Kitchen]
A restaurant appeared in front of him. The quality of the fish was not good before, so Lu Yan did not use a special kitchen, but just roasted it over the fire. Now the meat should be good and will definitely taste good.
After disguising himself outside, he entered the kitchen and called everyone to discuss the dishes together. But before that, Lu Yan took out the skill card he had just obtained from Rou Taisui.

A very powerful and versatile skill, probably Rou Tai Sui's innate ability. Although his own strength has not reached the gold level, this skill has.
Lu Yan estimated that the most important thing was actually the "field" effect. As of now, monsters that could have their own energy range were quite strong, and the "field was expanded".
Putting away the card, Lu Yan looked at the fragrant jelly blocks and various ingredients in front of him. He rubbed his palms together and cut off a small piece, intending to bake it first.
Soon the flames destroyed the material structure of the Tai Sui meat. The originally scarlet pieces of meat turned white after being cooked, similar to pork and beef, and had a stronger aroma.
This aroma comes not only from the meat itself, but also from the energy. Daisy picked up a small piece of slightly burnt meat and stuffed it into her mouth, commenting as she ate:
"It's delicious. The incense seeps in. It's like eating a god."
As for the gods, the trainee little Death God had already killed one or two and had no intention of eating them. The main reason was that when the Death God fragments were pulled out, their flesh would turn into ashes, and besides, one or two of their bodies had already fallen into decay.
There was a huge difference between living gods and dead gods, so she usually couldn't taste the flesh and blood of gods. Now she tasted it and it was indeed delicious.
After tasting the feast made from Tai Sui meat, Lu Yan felt that his cultivation progress had improved, very slightly, but the meat he ate did take effect, which gave him the idea of continuing to look for wild gods to kill and then eat them.
Unfortunately, the conditions for obtaining information in this world are relatively backward, and he cannot find other evil monsters and wild gods. Otherwise, he would have to pass through those guys' territories to slay the monsters.
After cooking the Tai Sui meat, Lu Yan took a short rest and continued to head towards Indigo Hill. After about ten days of peaceful life, he finally experienced the local customs and culture again.
Fortunately, this time it was finally a welcome side quest, instead of making Lu Yan feel "Oh, why is Da Kun so chaotic, why is this world so bad."
[City of Flowers] is famous for its spring-like weather all year round and its abundance of flowers. A lot of honey and flowers are transported from here.
[Tsk, why does it feel like everything I encounter along the way is bad? Da Kun is not going to become weak.]
Lu Yan rubbed Yingying's head, and the little fox rolled his eyes at him.
[It's just bad luck. I thought the same thing before I met Sister Mudan. She told me it was because I always got into trouble.]
"I hope this city can have some romance or comedy stories. It's always full of evil demons and monsters. It really affects my impression of Da Kun and the demons and monsters at the bottom of this world."
[It would be strange if most of the low-level demons and monsters were good. Although I am a demon myself, I look down on those guys.]
Yingying opened her mouth and yawned. As a fox demon, she was born from the union of two fox demons. She was born a monster, not an ordinary fox. She was already a human superior to humans, no, a demon superior to demons.
The family is related to Indigo Hill, and is basically the same as a scholarly family of humans, and is not considered to be the bottom class at all.
"Yes, Yingying is of course different from them."
Lu Yan praised Yingying, and the fox wagged its tail. When the two of them passed a scholar jogging away, she suddenly felt something, raised her tail and looked at the guy, calling out "Yingyingying" a few times:
[He seems to have the aura of a fox demon, and the fox demon seems to be injured.]
“There really is a romantic comedy.”
Looking carefully at the scholar walking away, Lu Yan found that he was not a pretty boy as he had thought, but a slightly rough type.
Well-developed limbs, bright eyes, healthy complexion, and a swift gait...
It is obvious that he practices the six arts of a gentleman all the time, and he is full of righteousness. If it is an evil creature, it will be burned by the righteousness just by getting close to him.

Chapter 396 Ghost Market.
"Hmm, let's tell my fortune and see if we'll run into him again."
Lu Yan had no intention of following her. It would be best if he could meet her later, but if not, it would be fine. In order not to waste time, he decisively asked Yingying to do the divination.
"I can't tell fortunes accurately."
"Just a rough idea is enough,"
Taking out a copper coin and placing it on Yingying's paw, Lu Yan threw it upwards, then held it down with both paws. "The front side will hit, and the back side is just a passing thing."
Release the fox claws, and the copper coin gives the result that the two sides can meet again. Yingying expressed doubt about the divination result. Can this really be considered divination?
"You must believe in your luck and great merit. Yingying, you are a child of destiny."
After entering the inn and booking a room, Lu Yan released the fox, letting it move freely. He closed his eyes, amplified his hearing, filtered out useless information, and selected useful intelligence.
Noisy conversations flowed into his ears. About half an hour later, he opened his eyes, a hint of irritation in his eyes, and rubbed his temples to reduce his hearing.
"I feel like I'm just an eavesdropper. No, I'm just an eavesdropper."
All kinds of sounds flow into my head, which feels really uncomfortable. It turns out that I should use this kind of method less often.
There are also gains. It is said that a ghost market will be secretly held in the city tonight. All the monsters and ghosts in the town will come there. There are some good things for them.
Lu Yan planned to go and take a look, and by the way, kill some demons and monsters, deepen the inclination of "Heaven's Way" towards him, and feel how magnificent it would be to mobilize the elements when being loved by heaven and earth.
After the battle in Taihu City, he had carefully asked Meng Yun. As a righteous deity of her level who was the overlord of a region, if nothing unexpected happened, there would be very few evil creatures that could defeat her.
The entire Dakun is a place where people flourish. If powerful demons come in, they will be suppressed by the luck. Most of them retreat to the bitter and cold border areas and dare not come in, resulting in the fact that there are basically no demons that exceed a certain strength limit in the territory.
In game terms, this is a level limit. In the Da Kun map, the level of "demon" type enemies will not exceed level 50.
If he attacks the Ghost Market, the strongest enemy that comes out may not be a demon, but some corrupt officials in Da Kun, who may be at level 70 or 80.
As for Lu Yan's strength, it is considered to be at the upper-middle level in the entire Dakun. Meng Yun said that he can compete with a first-rank official who has good luck, and he can escape if he can't beat him.
In short, there are no taboos, so he is not afraid of exposing his identity.
After planning the itinerary, Lu Yan sat cross-legged, took out the roasted Tai Sui meat and put it in his mouth, feeling the flow of energy to practice today. About two hours passed until the energy overflowed, and he gradually came out of the practice state.
"Master! Master! I'm being bullied!"
"Something's wrong, master? It's okay." Lu Yan's crying cat suddenly came back from the window. After taking a walk outside, her tail had some burnt marks. She rushed into the room with tears in her eyes, which was quite adorable.
Lu Yan was not affected by the charm she exuded. He reached out and pinched the little fox's neck to lift it up, recalling some of the things he saw when his mind was divided and connected to her.
She was very curious about the scholar from before. Lu Yan did not follow him, but she wanted to go and see her compatriots, so she followed the tracking spell that she had secretly left behind and found the scholar's mansion.
You wouldn't know until you see it. It turns out that this strong scholar is from a wealthy family. Judging from the structure of the mansion, it is at least the villa of a third-rank official.
Considering the scholar’s age and strength, it is definitely not his home, but it must be his father or grandfather’s house.
Before Yingying could peek, several monsters discovered her. They didn't even want to talk and started fighting with her. Those monsters were quite powerful.
If she hadn't dared to use all her strength in broad daylight, her injuries would have been even more serious.
"How strong is it?"
"The strongest one is about the same as that water monster with the spiky colored hair."
She said coquettishly that she was referring to the sea hare. As for the types of monsters that hurt her, they were quite common, such as mice, snakes, weasels, and hedgehogs.
Including the fox makes up the five great immortals. I don’t know if this has anything to do with it. In any case, the one adopted by the scholar should not be from Indigo Hill or the Imperial Tomb.
"Don't worry, we will meet again in the future. I will help you get revenge then. You must also practice hard after you arrive at Indigo Hill. My strength is closely related to yours."
"Oh, I see. Just wait and see. I'll surpass all the sisters in one fell swoop."
The white fox patted his chest and said that Lu Yan only needed to wait until his magical powers were fully developed.
As night falls, the Yang energy weakens and all the evil spirits come out.
Demons and monsters hide in the shadows and quietly shuttle through the alleys. They can only do this even when the yin energy is at its strongest, because there are other yin objects above them suppressing them.
The entire city was shrouded in a force field similar to Daisy's [Sleeping Field]. The City God's gaze swept across the entire Baihua City to ensure that no evil spirits would take the opportunity to cause trouble.
Lu Yan held Yingying in his arms, and the little fox untied itself and comfortably released the demonic aura that had been hidden. The demonic aura also enveloped Lu Yan, making him look more like a monster.
Following the footsteps of other monsters, the surrounding houses gradually fell into disrepair, and subtle spatial fluctuations were heard. He realized that the space he was in was slightly different from the original one. As he went deeper into the dilapidated streets, the difference became larger and larger.
"The ghost market turns out to be a small space attached to the big world."
Lu Yan understood, and in order to get in, one must have special energy. No wonder it had not been discovered by mortals for so long.
Gloomy lights came on, and the red and green light seemed extremely creepy. The aura of evil, ghosts, monsters, and demons was strong, and the negative energy overwhelmed the positive energy. The front had completely turned into a world of monsters.
The scattered "evil creatures" gathered together, and piles of mice ran past Lu Yan with shrewd eyes. Sensing the whimpering evil spirit, they stood up and bowed. The little fox nodded to them with pride.
An oil-paper umbrella flew by at low altitude, and underneath was a noble lady with a hideous face, one of her eyes constantly moving. As a ghost, her body was empty and translucent, with only the oil-paper umbrella as a solid entity.
Black smoke, two-headed birds, headless corpses, zombies dressed as old farmers...
They all headed towards the ghost market, and many stalls appeared in front of Lu Yan. He frowned and looked around.
At this time, he had completely entered the market and realized the problem. This small world seemed a little big.
It is not only the space tunnel near Baihua City, but many space fluctuations are coming from all directions, and the tunnel seems to connect to other different cities.

Chapter 397: Humans and Monsters.
After careful perception, Lu Yan discovered that it was far more than that. His perception touched some kind of spatial barrier, and this ghost market seemed to occupy only a small part of the space.
He was not in a hurry to buy or sell things. He quickly came to the edge of the space and saw some soldiers whose bodies were paper people and beans. They were all made of magic and were collecting tolls from monsters. They accepted copper, gold and silver.
This is just the Little Ghost City, a part of the Big Ghost City. This space...
Sensing the energy carefully, Lu Yan felt that a huge negative energy was coming from somewhere in the air. He looked up and clearly saw a giant city gate hanging upside down in the air.
The door was slightly open, and two large characters were hung above the gate.
Yinfeng
"Fengdu? This should be a transit area between the underworld and the human world. Yingying, do you know this place?"
Lu Yan was not surprised. Some card areas would show this kind of interlaced space state.
"I haven't been here, and Sister Mudan never told me about it."
Yingying shook her head, having absolutely no information to provide about this alien space.
"I always feel like you've lived in vain all these years."
No longer counting on his own little fox, Lu Yan looked around curiously. The vendors were all willing to barter or accept various coins. Monsters needed wealth and people to communicate, while ghosts needed the "cause and effect" on the coins.
"After changing hands countless times, coins will also acquire various auras and are still valuable in the underworld."
"As for paper money, it can only circulate among ghosts. It contains the spiritual energy of relatives. The more you miss the ghost, the more precious the paper money becomes."
Yingying seemed to see through Lu Yan's thoughts, and pouted to introduce it to him. Although she was not familiar with the Ghost Market, she could still provide her own card master with some common sense!
"I see. Each has its own value, and through the coordination of a third party, the circulation of the ghost market is guaranteed. It's not simple."
Lu Yan whispered that it was basically certain that the existence of the ghost market was the result of some people above, and the reason was unknown. Perhaps it was for the connection between the two worlds, or perhaps there were other unknown reasons.
Suppressing his doubts, he wandered around the ghost market. There were not only monsters and demons, but also a lot of people. Some people were even selling human flesh. There was a board next to it with a message that roughly meant "These are all enemies I killed myself, and the sources are normal."
This is called a normal source, so an abnormal source means that they were abducted or raised?
During the friction, Lu Yan pricked up his ears to listen to the news, and soon realized that the ghost market where he was was closer to [Order Neutral] and [Order Evil], and still obeyed the order of humans.
The monsters here are generally more reasonable. The ghost markets in other areas are more chaotic, and it is really possible that there will be butcher shops that raise humans.
