I became a saint by cultivating demons in a strange world

Chapter 125

Entrance to Qincheng Ghost Market,

Located in an abandoned market on the outskirts of the city.

Show up every night at twelve o'clock.

At three o'clock in the morning, it will close.

Looking from the entrance, there are many shadows inside.

It's like a rundown market.

But entering inside is a different scene.
Outside the ghost market, many players come to watch every night, but not many dare to enter easily.

Although fighting is not allowed in the ghost market,
But there are also many dangers for living people.

For example, if you enter it and the transaction amount is less than [-] ghost coins, you will be left there forever and become a ghost slave in the ghost market.

Also, there are many strange and cunning things in the ghost market.

Various traps will be used to lure players to complete some impossible tasks.
For example, if you are asked to help him buy something that is difficult to buy,

If the player accepts the mission and cannot find anything, they will be left inside and enslaved by the strangeness.

Anyway, don’t look at the ghost market where fighting is not allowed.
But it is also full of dangers, with traps everywhere, and is not necessarily any safer than other ghosts.

So for ordinary players, the ghost market at this time is actually not of much help to them.

Only by clearing it perfectly and allowing the ghost market to open up and allow free trade,

That is really of great help to all players, even ordinary people.

As long as items can be traded freely,

Ordinary people can also get props, which will greatly reduce the casualties when ordinary people become players.

And then, it will be the true era of universal players.

However, if you want the trading market to be fully open, you must perfectly clear the Ghost Market dungeon.

The first condition for successfully clearing the Ghost Market dungeon is that you need to spend or earn 100 million ghost coins in the Ghost Market.

This condition is simply an impossible task for current players.

According to official estimates from major cities,

To achieve this condition, you must at least wait for the top players to clear all ten three-star ghosts.

But now the Samsung ghost has only arrived for a few months.

And the danger level of three-star ghosts is much higher than that of two-stars.
Even the top players don't dare to enter easily.
It often takes a long time to prepare to clear a level.

Major cities will not let their top players take risks easily.

If these pillars of support have three advantages and two disadvantages, it would be like crying without tears.

Because the top players in the city were trapped in the ghost world,
It was not uncommon for a city to be destroyed due to lack of manpower.

In fact, if Qincheng had not produced a divine man named Li Daozhang,

After the elite team led by Liang Mingyan fell into the ancient city, they would fall into this embarrassing and dangerous situation.

So now everyone is actually very cautious about the ghost market.

Rich players will try to enter it to buy or sell items.
But no one even thought about being able to pass the level perfectly.

In their view, it will take at least several years to completely clear the ghost market and open the trading market.

And then,
Players in major cities have received the news.
It is said that Daochang Li from Qincheng will go to the ghost market and pass it perfectly.

Let all players and cities be prepared.

This is explosive news,

Because all the ghost markets around the world are copies of the same ghost market.

As long as one of them can pass the level perfectly,

Other ghost markets will be fully opened and become permanent free trading markets.

As soon as the news came out, the forum suddenly became lively.

"Really or not, someone wants to pass the ghost market perfectly? That's 100 million ghost coins, is it possible?"

"This news is a bit unreliable. Who has 100 million cheat coins at this stage..."

"What do you know? That's Daozhang Li. Do you know who Daozhang Li is?"

"Is it Taoist Master Li from Qincheng? I've heard about his reputation, and I heard he's very powerful..."

"How powerful? Is it more powerful than Zhang Shichao and Hawke?"

"Uh... I don't know..."

Apparently various news about Li Xiao has gradually spread in the forum.

But most people still have no idea how powerful it is.

After all, I just heard that some players in Qincheng often mentioned this magical Daozhang Li, saying that he had successfully cleared many ghosts.

Information between cities is basically transmitted to each other.
However, some information will still be withheld.

For example, only people in Qincheng and the capital knew that Li Xiao destroyed the Situ family in Qincheng.

Therefore, except for people in Qincheng, not many people actually know how powerful this Taoist priest is.

However, as Li Xiao's strength gradually increased, he no longer wanted to be secretive.
So when those in Qincheng asked him if he could share information with other cities,

He said it didn't matter.

So the news about him began to be unblocked,
Human society is generally very united in the face of this strange doomsday.

Some key information is shared to enable others to become better players.

However, as long as there is still humanity, small-scale struggles for power and profit are certainly unavoidable.

Human nature can be very dark sometimes, but it can also be very holy.

This is the complexity of human nature,

Just like the world of cultivating immortals, the same is true.

On the Internet, people were arguing fiercely and divided into two groups.
The topic of debate is naturally whether Director Li can pass the ghost market perfectly and let the ghost market open in advance.

Most people think it's impossible.

Only some players from the Dragon Kingdom think that Li Daochang can do it.

There is another topic that is also hotly discussed,
That's who is more powerful, Daozhang Li, who was born out of nowhere, or Zhang Shichao and Hawke, who are known as the twin swords of the East and West.

On this topic, most players also support the two veteran powerhouses.

Everyone was arguing, and no one could convince anyone.

And at this time, in the post arguing about which of the three is stronger,
Suddenly a person appeared, making everyone quiet down.

The man just said a short sentence,

"Daozhang Li is much better than me. Please don't compare me with him..."

Originally, some people wanted to complain, but who compared you with others?
But when he saw the real-name authentication, Zhang Shichao immediately stopped talking.

There was a rare moment of silence,
The post went viral again,

"Holy shit, Boss Zhang showed up. Haven't you always just been a diver?"

"The boss is here, watch around..."

"Hahaha, you saw it. Boss Zhang showed up and said that Daochang Li is better than him. Why are you arguing?"

"I think Zhang Dashen is too humble..."

Zhang Shichao, who rarely appears on the forum on weekdays, immediately replied to a post,
"I'm not being modest. Don't call me a great god. Daozhang Li is the real great god, a living immortal..."

At this moment, everyone knew he was not joking.

But it aroused everyone's curiosity,

What did that Daochang Li do to convince the arrogant Zhang Shichao to praise him so much?

In the face of people's doubts,
Zhang Shichao replied,
"You know what happened to Yingzhou Qicheng, right? The man who is called a god by the people of Yingzhou and takes away hundreds of ghosts is Daozhang Li."

Yingzhou Qi Castle was mysteriously destroyed. Later, the survivors of Qi Castle claimed to have seen a god descending from the sky and took away all the ghosts.

This matter has spread like wildfire, and all players know about it.

Yingzhou also released a video of the time.

It's just that the survivors were too far away and only some vague images were captured.

In the image, a figure appeared, absorbing all the strange things about Baigui Nightwalk into the black mist, and then disappeared.

Because they couldn't see clearly, most people thought that the figure must be another Gaoxing Weird.

After all, it is not uncommon for strange people to fight each other.

Even Zhang Shichao actually thought it was a weird fight before.

But now he said that the figure called a god by the people of Yingzhou was Li Daochang.

Even if it was what Zhang Shichao said, everyone still found it unbelievable.

The main reason was that the video was not clear, and even the Yingzhou people could not see the figure clearly.

Others were fine, just expressing doubts.
Many Yingzhou people are furious.

"How could the god descending on that day be that Daoist Li? That is our Yingzhou god, showing up to save the world..."

"That's right, people from the Dragon Kingdom are really talking nonsense, just to put money on their faces..."

"Yes, my divine savior in Yingzhou cannot possibly be from the Dragon Kingdom..."

"Everyone, it is a given that the divine savior will appear in our Da Yingzhou. Please recognize the reality..."

The reaction of the Yingzhou people was so great that no one else expected it.

But it's normal to think about it.
Before the strangeness came, the relationship between Yingzhou Kingdom and Long Kingdom was not very good.

Originally they thought that a god would come to the world in their country and regarded it as hope.
But now I am told that this god is from the Dragon Kingdom.
Naturally it is unacceptable.

However, Zhang Shichao used his ultimate move and posted a photo of Daochang Li wearing a blue robe.
Then compare it with the figure in the blurry video.

Although the figure's face could not be seen clearly, the robe it wore was exactly the same as the robe worn by Daochang Li.

"Daozhang Li cares about the common people and has traveled thousands of miles to rescue you. If it weren't for Daozhang Li, the Hundred Ghosts at Night would have destroyed more than one city. You are ungrateful but deny the existence of your benefactor. It is really deplorable..."

His words were sharp and unceremonious.

He has never had a good impression of these Yingzhou people.

Especially Miyamoto Keiichi, who is known as the number one master in Yingzhou, has always wanted to challenge him, saying that he is not convinced by his title of Sword of the East.

These Yingzhou people sometimes have short-circuit in their brains.
It’s almost the end of the world, and I still want to challenge this and that.

Zhang Shichao originally didn't want to pay attention to these guys.
But seeing them jumping up and down, I still couldn't hold it back.

At this time, the door of the room behind him was opened, and an old man hurriedly came in.

The old man said anxiously, "Shichao, why do you post everything online? This is confidential information..."

Zhang Shichao looked indifferent, "Didn't Daoist Li tell me what confidential information it is? This information does not need to be kept secret, it can be known to people in other cities..."

The old man said, "But we have to wait until we have discussed it before making the news public. Let me tell you, about the ghost ferry of the Wind Chime, you must not tell anyone anymore. This matter is of great importance and will affect the future." We have more say…”

He rattled off a lot of stakes, political and economic nonsense.

Zhang Shichao said impatiently, "I know, I know, don't tell me these things. Don't you know that these things bother me the most? That's what you politicians need to consider, not me..."

Having said that, he still did not continue to break the more exciting news.

The capital is considered to be the first city to receive various news from Qincheng.

So everyone was shocked after receiving the news.

Whether it was the Yingzhou incident or the ghost ship incident, they almost subverted their cognition.

Is there really such a divine man in the world, or is he really a god descended from heaven?

This is what everyone thought after hearing the news.

Then naturally there is excitement and fanaticism.

Although Du Ming has stated in the report,

This Taoist priest is indeed powerful, like a heavenly being,
But he is not a savior.

He is more like a legendary immortal,
Do whatever you want, no scruples, no worries.

So we can’t rely too much on it, we still have to cultivate more high-star players.

But everyone was still very excited,
Because no matter what, there is such a number one person in the world, and that is hope.

After Zhang Shichao obtained all the information about Li Xiao sent from Qin Cheng,

In an instant, he became his little fan. He felt that he originally wanted to go to Taoist Li for a discussion, but he really didn't know how high the limit was.

Now that he saw the endless debate on the Internet, he naturally sided with Daochang Li without any thought.

After the Yingzhou people were scolded by him, some people fell silent.
But someone still replied stiffly,

"Isn't it just that the clothes are the same? Who knows if Daochang Li dressed like this on purpose after watching the video we circulated..."

Zhang Shichao was furious,
"Miyamoto Keiichi, don't think that I don't know it's you when you post anonymously..."

Seeing this, everyone started to yell at each other by name, and began to eat melons excitedly.

Administrators could originally ban people directly.
But there was no movement at this time.

Obviously I also want to wait and eat.

The man also cursed back,

"Zhang Shichao, don't think that just because you're called the Sword of the East, everyone has to listen to you and believe you. What you said are just your own words. Is there any substantial evidence?"

Zhang Shichao replied coldly,
"You want evidence? Isn't Mr. Li planning to enter the ghost market? Don't you all think he can't pass the customs perfectly? Do you want to make a bet?"

"What kind of bet are you making?" "If Daozhang Li passes the ghost market perfectly, all of you Yingzhou people will collectively call you daddy..."

"Is it because he can't pass the level perfectly? You people in the Dragon Kingdom collectively call him daddy?"

At this time, many players from Longguo and Yingzhou quit.

"Hey, hey, you guys bet, don't get involved with us, okay?"

"That's right. Although you two are considered the top players in Dragon Kingdom and Yingzhou Kingdom, you can't represent the entire Dragon Kingdom and Yingzhou Kingdom, right?"

Seeing the conflict escalate, the administrator finally couldn't stand it anymore and issued a stern warning to both of them.

"Both of you, please pay attention to the forum rules. It is strictly prohibited to involve national topics or attack others... If you do not heed the warning, you will be banned..."

Zhang Shichao sneered in front of the computer and tapped on the keyboard.

"Miyamoto Keiichi, let's make a bet. If I lose, I'll call you daddy. If you lose, you'll call me daddy. How about posting a video on the forum and calling me daddy?"

On the other side, a young man wearing Yingzhou clothing was also gnashing his teeth and typing on the keyboard.

"Okay, I'll make a bet with you. If you lose then, no one will cheat."

Witnessed by many players, the two made a bet.

Many players didn't mind seeing the excitement, so they naturally started to boo.

However, some players still expressed concerns and sent private messages to Zhang Shichao, asking him not to be impulsive.

After all, the most basic condition for successfully clearing the ghost market is to have 100 million ghost coins.

It's so hard.

If it's just a normal customs clearance, it's not difficult.

Among the people who persuaded Zhang Shichao was Hawke, known as the Sword of the West.

This guy Hawke has been diving to watch the fun,

Seeing that the two of them were playing such a big game, I couldn't help but advise Zhang Shichao not to bet on such a bet that he would definitely lose.

He has a good relationship with Zhang Shichao, and they sometimes exchange information.
So I don't want to see him make a fool of himself.

After all, he was not very optimistic that Daochang Li could pass the ghost market perfectly.

Just kidding, he considers himself one of the top players in the world.

But now he only has tens of thousands of guile coins.

As for other players, how could anyone get 100 million.

It's not like he's never been in a ghost market before.

Ordinary two-star props can only be sold for a thousand guile coins, while high-quality items can only be sold for tens of thousands at most.

Ordinary three-star props can only be sold for tens of thousands, but high-quality three-star props can be sold for hundreds of thousands.

But he doesn't believe that Daochang Li can get so many high-quality three-star props to sell at this stage.

Again, unless Daoist Li has successfully cleared ten three-star ghosts at this time, he will be able to get 100 million ghost coins.

After he reminded him, Zhang Shichao ignored him.

Hawke sat back in his chair, "Okay, then I'll wait to see the video of you calling daddy..."

At this time, some players appeared again, shouting for those Yingzhou people who did not believe in Li Daozhang's strength and doubted that the incident in Qicheng was not his fault to come out.
They want to make a bet with these Yingzhou people,
The conditions of the bet are the same. If you lose, you will call me daddy.

People who were not too concerned about the excitement began to help them count the number of people and the list of bettors.

In this day and age, entertainment activities have become much less common.

It was not easy for everyone to watch the excitement, and naturally they were very enthusiastic.

Fortunately, there is no communication between the cities at this time, so their respective currencies cannot circulate.

Otherwise, I'm afraid there would have been various openings and the betting would have gone crazy.

The network between continents is relatively smooth, thanks to stable submarine optical cables.

Although the ocean has become a sea of ​​death,
But only for living creatures,
Things like submarine optical cables have not been affected at all.

So as long as the server is still there, the city can be connected to the Internet.

This makes it difficult for cities on the continent to communicate with each other in a practical way.

But they can communicate with each other on the Internet.

The Internet is already considered the biggest spiritual support for mankind at this time.

If a city is really completely isolated from the outside world,
Even if the supplies are sufficient, over time, despair may gradually develop.

And as long as the Internet still exists, it can allow people from all over the world to communicate,
This greatly alleviates the despair caused by the end of the world.

Just like this carnival on the player forum now,

Officials and management will not care.

After all, players also need to vent their emotions.

It's just the bet between the Dragon Kingdom players and the Yingzhou players that left the top management of both sides speechless.

Even if this kind of bet loses, there doesn't seem to be any substantial loss.

But it will definitely create a gap between players on both sides.

But the atmosphere has reached this point, and the top management of both parties is not easy to control, so they can only let it go.

In the capital of the Dragon Kingdom,
The old man rubbed his forehead with a headache. Zhang Shichao really didn't make people worry.

He just told him not to cause trouble on the forum anymore.
Unexpectedly, he turned around and made such a bet with Yingzhou.

After that, many guys who followed the trend came out to join in the fun and provoke Yingzhou.

A subordinate reported, "Almost all of those player IDs who followed suit later came from Qincheng..."

The old man said helplessly, "I have guessed it a long time ago... Don't worry about them. Now it mainly depends on whether Daoist Li can really pass the ghost market perfectly. If he can really pass the ghost market perfectly, maybe all mankind can enter a real world." In the era of all players, we must be prepared..."

"Yes……"

They each have their own plans here,

The forum was also abuzz,

And on the other side,
Li Xiao didn't know this at all.

After he came back and explained the situation to everyone in Qincheng,

Went to the location of the ancient city.

After all, the ghost market doesn’t open until midnight.

But it was still morning, and we still had to wait half a day.

So he simply went to the ancient city to see the situation of Xuesui.

Li Xiao came to the place where the ancient city was located,
As soon as I thought about it, I saw the gate of the ancient city.

He walked in and came to the ancient city of bones.

Just came in,

He saw a blood shadow rushing towards him quickly.

Li Xiao smiled slightly and held Xue Ying in his arms.

"Master, why did it take you so long to come..." Xue Sui complained.

Li Xiao caught the rushing blood spike and found that this little guy had grown up several years in just a few months.

When he came last time, the little guy was only five or six years old.

And now, he looks to be in his teens.

Moreover, the aura on his body is much stronger than before.

It has almost reached the late second stage.

I think it will take a few months to reach the second level peak.

Then you can try to fully integrate the Ancient Skeleton City and be promoted to three stars.

The little guy was hanging around Li Xiao's neck, nuzzling him like a puppy.

"Master, Xuesui is so boring. When can you take Xuesui out to play?"

Li Xiao reassured, "It's almost time. Once you have completely integrated into the Ancient Skeleton City, I can take you out to play, so you have to work hard, you know?"

Xuesui nodded, "Well, Xuesui will work hard..."

The Ancient City of Bones is indeed a bit boring.

The ghosts Li Xiao left behind were not very sane.

At this time, most of them were tortured to death by blood spikes.

This little thing may look small, but she is very ferocious.

After all, it was a strange thing cultivated using Li Xiao's essence and blood and the bones and blood in the ancient city of bones.

Li Xiao asked, "Have you killed all those ghosts?"

Xuesui said aggrievedly, "Those guys are not fun, and they are not strong. They will die if you mess with them casually..."

Li Xiao patted her head lovingly, "Okay, I'll leave some fun things for you this time, but you try not to kill them, otherwise no one will play with you..."

As he spoke, he took out the Soul-Eating Banner and waved it.

Hundreds of weirdos were released.

After these weird things came out, I still looked confused.
They are all weird things that happened after boarding the Wind Chime at the entrance to the Dead Realm and being included in the Soul-Eating Banner.

The Soul-Eating Banner originally had one characteristic:
That is to cultivate and refine the ghost slaves, who can have a certain level of sanity.

The green poisonous ghost is the main soul with the highest sanity among them.

In the past, Li Xiao didn't dare to keep too many ghost slaves sane except for the Green Poison Slayer.

After all, having a high level of sanity means that it is easy to backlash.

Didn't the green poisonous creature swell up before and try to bite him back once?

But now that his strength has greatly increased, he has far surpassed these ghost slaves, so naturally he no longer worries.

Therefore, when these newly captured weirdos were refined into ghost slaves, their sanity was basically preserved.

After all, a sane ghost slave is indeed much easier to control than a ghost slave who only knows how to kill.

After these ghost slaves appeared, they still couldn't figure out where they were.

Li Xiao said, "From now on, you will stay in the ancient city and become the weird one in the ancient city, and Xuesui will be your BOSS. Is it clear?"

All the ghost slaves are naturally afraid of him.

Looking at Xue Sui again, he was indeed more powerful than them all, so naturally they responded respectfully and did not dare to disobey.

Li Xiao said to Xuesui, "I will remove their connection with the Soul-Eating Banner, and then you can use the ancient city to bind them, and they can play with you..."

Xuesui clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, these guys are smarter than those before, and they are good playmates..."

Li Xiao released the connection between the Soul-Eating Banner and these ghost slaves.

And Xuesui activated his ability,

Black threads appeared on the ground of the ancient city, binding the ghost slaves, just like the former residents of the ancient city.

Li Xiao thought for a while and released another guy.

As soon as this guy came out, he started crying bitterly, "Boss, you finally thought of me again..."

But it was the clown who was let out.

After being squeezed out of his remaining value by Li Xiao, he was thrown into the Soul-Eating Banner.
Li Xiao said, "Okay, okay, from now on you will live here and serve Miss Xuesui. The other ghost slaves can be managed by you. In this case, you should be able to be promoted to two stars..."

The clown is just a one-star BOSS.

According to him, if he wants to be promoted to two stars, he must successfully scare some two-star targets.

This promotion condition is actually very difficult for him.

Because I'm a two-star guy, why should I be afraid of you, a one-star guy?

Now Li Xiao has indeed given him a chance to be promoted.

It can be regarded as a reward for being squeezed all the time.

The clown was overjoyed and thanked him quickly.

After being made the general manager of the ancient city by Blood Spike,
As long as he is in the ancient city of Guixiao, he has absolute suppression over other ghost slaves.

And many of those ghost slaves are two-star weird.

Under his intimidation and threats, those two stars were indeed afraid of him.

Then this guy was successfully promoted to the two-star level.

After he was promoted, he immediately turned around and nodded and bowed to Xuesui and Li Xiao, flattering them and acting like a slave.

I can only say that although this guy is afraid of death, he does have some vision.

As a favorite and playmate, it's quite good.

Xuesui was following him, and he was indeed very happy.

Because this guy is really going to cause trouble.

Seeing that it was almost done, Li Xiao gave Xuesui a few words and left the ancient city.

Get ready to go to the ghost market.

And what he doesn't know yet is,

At this time, players all over the world are waiting for him to enter the ghost market.

Looking forward to his performance.
