Peerless Dragon Sovereign

Chapter 258: An Unexpected Encounter


Upon hearing Chu Nan's request, Zhou Xiaohao quickly led him to the Spirit Corpse Sect's trade market.

The trade market is located five miles outside the Spirit Corpse Sect's mountain gate, covering a vast area. Inside, it is not only a place for transactions but also has inns and restaurants, essentially forming a small city.

Given that the Spirit Corpse Sect is only five miles away from here, almost nobody dares to cause trouble in the trade market.

The trade market is bustling with people, gathering many martial artists from both the Spirit Corpse Sect and various places in Liangshan Province.

Chu Nan observed and found that martial artists with dark circles around their eyes and thin bodies were mostly disciples of the Spirit Corpse Sect, and judging by their looks, their positions within the sect were not low.

Disciples like Zhou Xiaohao, who are full of vigor, usually don't have high status in the Spirit Corpse Sect.

They are mostly servants or outer-sect disciples.

This is considered one of the unique characteristics of the Spirit Corpse Sect, and Chu Nan generally understood why it's like this.

Corpses contain Yin Evil Qi, and these disciples of the Spirit Corpse Sect are naturally corroded by the Yin Evil Qi as they are in contact with corpses daily. The more corpses they interact with, the more severely they are corroded by the Yin Evil Qi, and thus they appear weaker.

In contrast, outer-sect disciples or servants like Zhou Xiaohao, who don't interact with many corpses of high grade, are not affected much by the Yin Evil Qi.

In summary, in the Spirit Corpse Sect, appearing more half-dead might indicate higher status!

Guided by Zhou Xiaohao, Chu Nan arrived at a shop, which was considered one of the larger places in the trade market.

"Brother Chu, I often come to this shop. Their backing is from an elder of the sect, and their transactions are quite trustworthy. They won't cheat you." Zhou Xiaohao excitedly introduced.

As they entered the shop, a waiter quickly approached and asked, "Honored guests, are you here to buy or sell?"

Chu Nan replied indifferently, "Sell."

"May I inquire what you would like to sell? Please present it." the waiter asked.

Chu Nan had many good items on him, but the place was crowded, so he stated, "The items I have are beyond your handling. Call your shopkeeper."

The waiter was immediately a bit displeased, thinking about what he couldn't handle, so he said, "Honored guest, we are professionals. Even if it's a corpse from the Yang Wheel Realm, we can handle the transaction. What item do you have that I can't handle?"

"Can you handle King-grade Spirit Martial weapons?" Chu Nan stared at the waiter, "Not just one weapon..."

The waiter was speechless and quickly switched to a smile, saying, "Esteemed guest, please follow me, I will take you to see our shopkeeper."

Zhou Xiaohao was a bit speechless; the waiter's face-changing speed was too fast.

Soon, led by the waiter, Chu Nan arrived in a secret room on the third floor and met the shopkeeper there.

The shopkeeper was very courteous and said, "Honored guest, what would you like to trade? Allow me to appraise it."

Chu Nan scrutinized the shopkeeper and found that the other party was only at the eighth stage of the Yang Wheel Realm, not very strong.

Standing firm in the trade market likely relied on the background of the Spirit Corpse Sect itself.

Thinking about this, Chu Nan naturally had no more worries, so he shook his storage bag, causing several King-grade Spirit Martial weapons to clatter to the ground like junk.

Seeing the scene, Zhou Xiaohao almost had his eyes fall to the ground like the Spirit Martial weapons, and his gaze toward Chu Nan changed entirely.

Earlier, Chu Nan gifting him a King-grade Spirit Martial weapon was already shocking, but he didn't expect Chu Nan to have more, and so many!

Even the shopkeeper raised his eyebrows slightly, heart pounding, staring at Chu Nan and saying, "Esteemed guest, are you selling all these?"

Chu Nan nodded.

The shopkeeper swallowed dryly and then raised five fingers, "Five hundred Yuan stones, how about it?"

With a swoosh, Chu Nan put away the Spirit Martial weapons, and then said to Zhou Xiaohao, "Let's go."

Seeing Chu Nan about to leave, the shopkeeper hurriedly spoke, "How about one thousand Yuan stones?"

"Fifteen hundred Yuan stones, I can't offer more..."

"Two thousand, two thousand Yuan stones, that's all I can offer."

Chu Nan, preparing to leave, paused his steps and turned around, saying, "Then we, have a pleasant cooperation."

Actually, these Spirit Martial weapons are worth much more than two thousand Yuan stones, but at this moment, Chu Nan understood that to sell them quickly, sacrifices must be made.

These Spirit Martial weapons were mostly superfluous to Chu Nan, so exchanging them for Yuan stones was using them to their fullest potential.

The shopkeeper also breathed a sigh of relief, then said, "Esteemed guest, please wait for half an hour, two thousand Yuan stones is no small amount; I need to make some arrangements."

"You can take a look around here while we gather the Yuan stones as quickly as possible."

The shopkeeper had no intention of scheming for the Spirit Martial weapons. After all, a martial artist who can casually sell several King-grade Spirit Martial weapons probably has very deep background.

It is not worth taking the risk of being killed for a few Spirit Martial weapons.

Chu Nan nodded, two thousand Yuan stones was no small amount.

In Cyan Profound Mansion, perhaps only the Mansion Master, the Battle Academy, or the Zhang family had the power to produce two thousand Yuan stones.

And in Green Mountain County, it would be difficult to produce even one hundred Yuan stones with the strength of an entire county, so this two thousand Yuan stones is definitely a huge sum.

Fortunately, Liangshan Province is a major state of the Qin Kingdom, and the Spirit Corpse Sect is also one of the strongest sects in the Qin Kingdom, so it could easily bring out two thousand Yuan stones.

After the shopkeeper left, Chu Nan and Zhou Xiaohao wandered around in the shop.

This shop has three floors. The higher the floor, the more precious the items sold, such as King-grade Spirit Martial weapons, elixirs for the Yang Wheel Divine Illumination Realm martial artists, spirit plants, and so on.

However, corpses are the most prevalent, along with spirit corpses,

Looking across the shop, Chu Nan saw many corpses of Yang Wheel Realm martial artists, with prices varying according to their level of completeness and cultivation during their lifetime.

Typically, a hundred Yuan stones could buy a corpse that was at the ninth level of the Yang Wheel Realm in life.

Besides corpses, there are some spirit corpses for sale, with the worst on the third floor at the Flying Corpse level.

The price of a low-grade Flying Corpse unexpectedly reaches two hundred Yuan stones, with top-grade Flying Corpse priced at as high as five hundred.

Chu Nan even saw a low-grade Wandering Corpse equivalent to the Divine Light Realm, with its value priced at a sky-high one thousand Yuan stones!

Nevertheless, the number of Wandering Corpses, not to mention here, is extremely rare even within the Spirit Corpse Sect.

After a long inspection, Chu Nan suddenly stopped his footsteps upon seeing something in a huge display cabinet.

Seeing Chu Nan stop, Zhou Xiaohao immediately inquired, "Chu Nan, why have you stopped, have you taken an interest in anything?"

Following Chu Nan's gaze, Zhou Xiaohao took a deep breath and then exclaimed, "Cloud Sea Realm, there is actually a Cloud Sea Realm corpse for sale here, it's terrifying."

"According to reason, a Cloud Sea Realm corpse should have been taken by the Sect Leader or a Supreme Elder long ago, how could it be sold here?"

Zhou Xiaohao looked puzzled, carefully examined the corpse's description, and suddenly understood, "So that's how it is, although this corpse is from the Cloud Sea Realm, it nearly lacks Yin Evil Qi within."

"Moreover, the surface of the corpse is severely damaged, significantly reducing its value."

"Even so, to us disciples, this corpse is still extremely precious, don't you agree, Chu Nan?"

"Correct." Chu Nan nodded, showing no sign of anything unusual, but had secretly made up his mind to obtain this corpse.

Because the corpse in front of him was the ancestor of the Lin family!
