This was a place where several huge mountains intersected. It was surrounded by mountains that were tens of thousands of meters tall. The roads came from far away and finally converged at this place.
Because of the convergence of the roads, this area had become a bustling place. In the exceptionally spacious open space, tents were spread out and the figures of people were moving about. It was extremely lively.
Mu Chen stood on a hill and looked at the scene of people coming and going in front of him. A hint of surprise flashed through his eyes. There were at least thousands of people gathered in front of him. The number of people here was even more vigorous than when he was at the Receiving Platform.
"This is a temporary gathering point. From here, we can go deeper into the Northern Heavens World. That's why many people in this area choose to pass through here."
Beside Mu Chen, Ye Qingling smiled and said: "In addition, this is also a trading area. Many people will come here to sell their items. Various Spiritual Arts, Spiritual Beast's Soul Essences, and even Spiritual Weapons will appear here. Of course, if you want to exchange for them, you need to pay a satisfactory price."
Mu Chen nodded his head. Sure enough, wherever there were people, these things would automatically form. After all, everyone had their own needs and wanted to obtain what they needed.
"Do I need Spirit Coins here?"
Mu Chen asked. Spirit Coins were the common currency of the Great Thousand World. This kind of currency was condensed with Spiritual Energy. Sometimes, it could even be directly refined by people. Therefore, it was considered the hard currency of the Great Thousand World.
"Spirit Coins are barely enough. However, it is not what the people here need the most."
Ye Qingling's slender finger pointed at the dark golden mark between Mu Chen's eyebrows and said: "This is the hard currency of the Northern Heavens World.
If you want to exchange for something, you need to extract a satisfactory amount of Spiritual Energy from your mark. "
Mu Chen was surprised. He didn't expect the mark to have this kind of effect here. However, thinking about it, it made sense.
For the people here, Spirit Coins were temporarily useless. However, the Spiritual Energy from the mark could allow them to quickly increase the rank of their mark.
Thus, they could escape the tragic fate of being eliminated.
"In addition, this is also a place where all kinds of information is gathered. We can ask around and see if we can find any traces of Heaven Rank Spirit Beasts. Let's go take a look?" Ye Qingling smiled at Mu Chen.
"Alright."
Mu Chen's interest was piqued as he nodded his head.
When Ye Qingling saw this, she ordered the Ye Clan to set up camp first. Then, she brought along the curious Su 'Er, Mu Chen, Mo Ling and a few others.
He walked down the hill.
He headed towards the trading area that was like a small city.
As they approached the trading area.
The commotion made Mu Chen feel as though he had returned to the Great Thousand World.
This was not considered a specific territory owned by anyone.
Therefore, there were no forces that specialized in maintaining order here. Of course, if anyone thought that they could ignore the rules here, they would not be able to do so.
That would be a grave mistake. There were crooks mixed in with the honest here, and many people belonged to different powers. Once one broke the rules here, he would become the enemy of many powers at the same time. Only a fool would do such a thing.
Mu Chen and his group followed the path filled with people and slowly entered the trading area. Their gazes gradually spread out.
Within the trading grounds, there were many tents. Outside of the tents, there were huge rocks that were moved in. The huge rocks were shaved to the point that they were extremely smooth. On the surface of the rocks, there was a faint Spiritual Energy radiating from them. Various different items were faintly discernible.
"Exorcism Blade Technique, Spiritual Tier Low Rank Attack Spiritual Art. You only need to pay a Rank 3 Spiritual Energy to take it away. Don't miss it!"
"Earth Spirit Technique, Spiritual Tier Low Rank Cultivation Technique. You only need to pay a Rank 4 Spiritual Energy. Who wants to take a look?"
"Ghost Sword, Low Rank Spiritual Artifact. You only need to pay a Rank 5 Spiritual Energy!"
“”
As they walked through the trading area, strange shouts came from all directions. It made them secretly laugh. Perhaps only in the Northern Heavens World could one hear such strange shouts and demands.
Mu Chen's gaze swept through the surrounding stone platforms. Many of the items were considered real. If they were in the Northern Spiritual Realm, it would be enough for people to fight over them. In terms of price, it would not be lower than a million Spirit Coins. However, it was obvious that they were much cheaper here.
Halfway through the trading area, Mu Chen separated from Ye Qingling and the others. The little girl liked lively places and pestered her sister to bring her around. Mu Chen wandered around by himself.
Along the way, although most of the items were quite good, Mu Chen did not see anything that truly tempted him. This made him slightly disappointed. Just when he was about to turn around, a quarrel suddenly came from a place not far away. This caused him to stop his footsteps.
"Damn it. You want a Rank 6 Spiritual Energy for a Broken Array Diagram? Who are you trying to scam?"
"Array Diagram?"
Mu Chen's heart skipped a beat. He looked over and saw a boy standing on a stone platform in the corner. He was cursing. Behind the stone platform, there was another boy wearing grey clothes. He was too lazy to care about this guy and closed his eyes to rest.
When the boy saw that the grey clothed boy was too lazy to talk to him, he became bored. He coldly snorted and turned around to leave.
At this moment, Mu Chen had also arrived in front of the stone platform. His gaze was directed towards the grey-clothed youth. There was a black metal box in front of him. Within the box, there was a dark-golden scroll that faintly emitted Spiritual Energy fluctuations.
"What rank is this Array Diagram?" Mu Chen asked with interest.
When the grey clothed boy heard someone asking him, he lazily opened his eyes and glanced at Mu Chen. When he saw the Rank 6 Spiritual Energy Mark on Mu Chen's forehead, his eyes suddenly lit up. His expression became a lot more enthusiastic and he quickly replied: "This is a Rank 2 Array Diagram. However, don't underestimate it. If you want to arrange it, you will need at least 40 Spiritual Seals. Even a Spirit Stage Middle Phase person would not be able to resist its power."
"40 Spiritual Seals?"
Mu Chen was surprised. It was rare to see a Rank 2 Spiritual Array that required such a number of Rank 2 Spiritual Arrays. After all, only a few outstanding Rank 2 Spiritual Array Masters could barely achieve this.
For example, the "Golden Wheel Spirit Splitting Formation" that his father had found for him only required thirty Spirit Seal s, but its power was …
However, its power was enough to instantly kill a Spirit Stage Spiritual Beast and heavily injure two others.
"You're also a Spiritual Array Master?" Mu Chen glanced at the grey clothed boy and asked.
When the grey clothed boy heard this, he forced a smile and nodded his head.
"Array Diagrams are very important to Spiritual Array Masters, right?
You're actually willing to sell it? "Mu Chen asked.
"I'm only a Rank 1 Spiritual Array Master right now.
I don't know how long it will take for me to reach 40 Spiritual Seals. If this goes on, I might not even be able to reach Rank 4 Spiritual Seals. I might as well use it to exchange for Spiritual Seals.
In the future, after I enter Hokuang Reiwon and train properly, I won't have to worry about not having a Rank 2 Spiritual Seal. "The grey clothed boy was quite open-minded.
Mu Chen smiled. That's right. If he was eliminated because his Spiritual Seal could not reach Rank 4, the loss of a Rank 2 Array Diagram could not be compared to it.
"What's the price?" Mu Chen did not hide his interest in the Rank 2 Array Diagram.
"I won't lower the price for a Rank 6 Spiritual Seal. This is something that I stole from my father with great difficulty. If you're willing to buy it, then buy it.
Otherwise, forget it. "The grey clothed boy said with a firm expression.
"Can I inspect the goods?" Mu Chen thought for a moment.
He asked.
"Sure." The grey clothed boy was straightforward.
He was also a Spiritual Array Master, so he knew how complicated this Array Diagram was.
If he wanted to master it, he would need to study it carefully. He was like the kind of person who could understand a complicated Array Diagram with just a glance.
The root did not exist.
Mu Chen's palm sucked and the dark gold scroll in the black metal box shot into his hand. He then slowly tore the scroll open.
Roar!
The moment the scroll was opened, a dark gold light came toward him. The faint roar of a dragon and an elephant sounded in Mu Chen's ears. Golden light surged on the scroll and countless complicated lights flickered. It looked like a dragon and an elephant were entrenched in it.
The golden light gradually dimmed and finally turned into three ancient characters.
"Dragon and Elephant Array."
Mu Chen softly muttered and slowly kept the Array Diagram. A trace of joy surged in his black pupils. This Array Diagram seemed to be quite powerful and he was very satisfied.
"I'll take it." Mu Chen raised his head and smiled at the grey clothed boy.
"Haha, brother is straightforward."
The grey-clothed youth was overjoyed when he heard this. With a thought, the red mark on his forehead dimmed. The Spiritual Energy there was temporarily suppressed by him, causing the mark to revert to a rank 1 mark.
The dark gold mark between Mu Chen's eyebrows also flickered. A golden light shot out and directly drilled into the boy's forehead. The latter's dim mark instantly turned golden. It was the mark of a sixth rank mark.
"Awesome, I'm also a sixth rank mark expert."
The grey-clothed youth touched his forehead happily, then quickly picked up a piece of cloth and wrapped it around his forehead, concealing the mark.
Mu Chen held the Array Diagram and touched his incomparably dim mark. He could not help but shake his head. The accumulation of the past half a month was cleared in an instant. If he were to calculate the rank of the mark now, he would probably be instantly eliminated.
Mu Chen kept the Array Diagram into his Mustard Seed Bracelet. He did not care about the grey clothed boy who was quickly packing up his stall. He turned around and left. He did not need to look anymore because he was extremely poor now.
Just as Mu Chen was about to find Ye Qingling and leave, he suddenly felt a disturbance in the trading area. The crowd in the distance seemed to have split apart at this moment.
Mu Chen narrowed his eyes and looked in that direction. He could vaguely hear some voices.
"Is that the boss of the Chu Gang?
I heard that the Chu Gang is one of the most powerful forces in this area. "
"He rarely comes here. I don't know what kind of wind blew him here this time."
“ ”
The crowd split apart. From there, a tall and sturdy figure slowly walked over. His steps were calm and steady. When he landed, there was a faint feeling of the ground trembling. No one dared to underestimate him.
Mu Chen looked at the figure. His eyes swept across and he planned to avoid it.
However, the figure walked straight and finally stopped in front of Mu Chen under the astonished gazes of the crowd and the slight frown on his face.
Mu Chen frowned as he looked at the unfamiliar figure in front of him. The latter's gaze made him a little uncomfortable. Moreover, he should not have seen the person in front of him before.
"What's the matter?" Mu Chen asked in a calm voice.
"You are Mu Chen."
The tall and sturdy figure in front of him stared at Mu Chen and smiled faintly.
"I am Chu Qi. I want to ask you for a favor."
Mu Chen's black pupils rested on his face, but he did not reply to him.
Chu Qi looked at Mu Chen and slowly said, "I hope that you will not appear in front of Luo Li."
