Chapter 246 The Huge Pit System

Li Xiaoyao left, and Zhu Xiaoyue returned to the villa, only to be called over by Zhu Hai, who asked about matters related to Li Xiaoyao.

Although Zhu Xiaoyue was very curious about Li Xiaoyao's true identity, no matter what, her father would no longer prevent them from dating.

Li Xiaoyao had planned to return to his shop to continue cultivation, but on the way, he received a call from Jiang Lichun.

"Are you planning on leaving this old man here to fend for himself?" Jiang Lichun asked indignantly.

Li Xiaoyao said speechlessly, "You're not a three-year-old child, do I really need to take care of you?"

Jiang Lichun huffed and said, "Come back, I have something to tell you."

"What is it that you can't say over the phone?" Li Xiaoyao didn't want to waste a moment of cultivation.

"Some matters within the cultivation circle, if you're not interested, then just pretend I never said anything."

Li Xiaoyao's interest was piqued, something to do with the cultivation circle?

This old man definitely wouldn't babble about nothing, since he had spoken up, it surely wasn't a trivial matter.

"I'll be right back." Just as he was about to hang up the phone, Li Xiaoyao added, "I'm hungry, cook me some Demon Beast meat."

Jiang Lichun was silent for a few seconds, then cursed, "Scram!"

Half an hour later, Li Xiaoyao returned home.

Pushing the door open, a rich aroma of meat instantly infiltrated his nostrils. Li Xiaoyao sniffed the air and followed the fragrance into the living room.

Jiang Lichun sat at the table, where a steaming, meat-filled soup was placed, with white vapor curling upwards, looking very tempting.

Li Xiaoyao walked over and grabbed some chopsticks to start eating.

Jiang Lichun glanced at him and said, "The underground Ghost Market is about to open."

Li Xiaoyao swallowed a piece of meat and exclaimed in surprise, "It's finally starting." Then he curiously asked, "You're pretty well-informed, aren't you?"

Jiang Lichun snorted lightly and said, "Once you formally enter this circle, people naturally inform you of such matters."

"Buzz~"

Li Xiaoyao's phone in his pocket vibrated, a call from Cheng Dongliang.

"Old Cheng, what's up?"

Cheng Dongliang said cheerfully, "Xiaoyao, I have good news."

"Hmm? What good news?"

"The underground Ghost Market is about to open!" Cheng Dongliang's voice was filled with excitement.

Startled, Li Xiaoyao asked, "Oh? When does it start?"

"It starts tomorrow night and will be open for seven days."

"Alright, got it."

Cheng Dongliang said, "It's your first time at the Ghost Market, there are some rules. How about this, I'll come pick you up first thing tomorrow morning."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Old Cheng."

"It's no trouble at all, your going is beneficial for me too," Cheng Dongliang said, laughing.

After hanging up the phone, Li Xiaoyao looked at Jiang Lichun and asked, "Are you going tomorrow?"

"One mustn't miss the Ghost Market, I will go with you tomorrow."

Having finished the meat soup, Li Xiaoyao returned to his room for cultivation.

In these days, Li Xiaoyao had been training furiously every night in the Spirit Stone Vein and battling Ouyang Gu in the Combat System.

Through such intense training, he had achieved remarkable progress - within just a few days, he made another breakthrough, reaching the seventh layer of the Condensation Realm.

His cultivation level had climbed higher, and his experiential learning in combat had also become several times stronger than before.

In between cultivation sessions, Li Xiaoyao also browsed around in the System.

Nie Xiaoqian had once mentioned that in order to revive Zhuo Yi, it was necessary to find a celestial medicine capable of healing the soul.

Li Xiaoyao had searched in the System before, and indeed there were celestial medicines for repairing the soul, but he couldn't purchase them.

The inability to purchase wasn't due to the price.

Even if the prices were in the millions or tens of millions, Li Xiaoyao could afford to buy them.

The currency Li Xiaoyao used to buy things in the past was all in Spirit Stones.

Yet the Immortal Elixirs he saw required Top Grade Spirit Stones to purchase.

"Top Grade Spirit Stones? What the heck is that?" As soon as Li Xiaoyao's words fell, he heard the System's voice in his ear.

"Spirit Stones are classified by quality. The stones commonly produced by veins are Lower Grade Spirit Stones, and occasionally there are Middle Grade Spirit Stones in a vein. Superior Grade Spirit Stones, however, are extremely rare. Top Grade Spirit Stones are one in ten thousand."

Hearing this explanation, Li Xiaoyao couldn't help but sigh.

Although he now owned a Spirit Stone Vein, all the Spirit Stones he had mined were of the Lower Grade.

Not to mention Top Grade Spirit Stones, he hadn't even seen a Middle Grade Spirit Stone.

Therefore, Li Xiaoyao could only helplessly watch the Immortal Elixirs in the System and do nothing about it.

Now he could only place his hopes on tomorrow's Ghost Market, as well as Zhongzhou City's Medicine God Valley.

If he had incredible luck one day, he might also be able to mine a piece or two of Top Grade Spirit Stones from the vein.

However, although he couldn't afford the Immortal Elixirs, Li Xiaoyao could afford the seeds of the Immortal Elixirs.

"Revival Grass Seeds, 3 million Spirit Stones,"

"Ice-Fire Soul Fusion Fruit Seeds, 5 million Spirit Stones."

Li Xiaoyao looked at the prices beneath these Immortal Elixir seeds, his face twitching.

Despite not being short on money, seeing these nearly insane prices, he couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Damn!"

Li Xiaoyao hesitated for a few seconds, then gritted his teeth and bought the Ice-Fire Soul Fusion Fruit seeds.

"Ding, Ice-Fire Soul Fusion Fruit seeds purchased successfully."

"System Notification: Ice-Fire Soul Fusion Fruit seeds have a forty percent chance of failing to survive."

Hearing this voice, Li Xiaoyao went completely dumbfounded.

"Forty percent chance of failing to survive? Fuck, why didn't you say that earlier?" Li Xiaoyao cursed loudly. After swearing a few times, his emotions gradually subsided.

"Damn it, this System really is a huge scam!"

After complaining for a bit, Li Xiaoyao held the seeds in his hand, turning them over and over and muttered to himself, "Wonder how long these things take to bloom and bear fruit."

"Kind Reminder: Immortal Elixirs require Immortal Soil to cultivate. Mortal Realm soil cannot grow them. If the seeds come into contact with Mortal Realm soil, they will immediately die."

"Phew~~ Sigh~~"

Li Xiaoyao puffed his cheeks with effort, his anger now beyond containment.

"What kind of 'kind reminder' is this? Why didn't you tell me when I bought them?"

"Immortal Soil? Where am I supposed to get Immortal Soil? System, get out here!"

In the face of Li Xiaoyao's furious swearing, the System immediately said, "The so-called Immortal Soil is simply soil with a Spiritual Energy concentration over fifty percent."

Li Xiaoyao asked, "How am I supposed to know which soil has a Spiritual Energy concentration that can reach fifty percent?"

The System said, "The host can purchase a Spiritual Energy Detector, available for purchase in the System."

Li Xiaoyao had a feeling that the System seemed to be leading him into a trap.

"How much for that Spiritual Energy Detector?"

"Not expensive, just 10 million Spirit Stones."

"10 million Spirit Stones... and that's not expensive?" Li Xiaoyao's vision darkened as he took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.

Before him, the Spiritual Energy Detector appeared, marked with an exorbitant price of 10 million.

Li Xiaoyao didn't want to buy it, but the System had made it clear it was necessary.

This situation gave Li Xiaoyao a sense of powerless frustration.

Unable to resist, he could only accept involuntarily.
