Chapter 187: Old Ghost’s Small Shop (1)

Note: Old ghost (gui) here is not necessarily a ghost, just a saying about someone who is strange or sinister (but it could also be a real ghost/devil).

At this moment, the old man slowly lifted his head and looked at Li Qiye. At the same time, his eyes radiated a frightening light, like the sacred light of the heaven and earth with an immeasurable sharpness, seemingly able to tear apart the world. Even Li Shuangyan and Chen Baojiao, standing behind Li Qiye, had to take three steps back. They did not receive this fierce glare directly but they felt that this flash was able to decapitate gods and devils along with people of their cultivations like insects!

As the cold sweats dripped down their bodies, they realized that this old man calling himself old ghost was a horror outside of their speculations.

“No.” This old man then withdrew his gaze as if he was drowsy and stiffly shook his head.

Li Qiye narrowed his eyes and looked at the old man, then calmly said, “I know very well that there are three types of hard currencies at this place. One, true or false great sagas. Two, Early People’s ancient language. Three, corpses! I have true or false great sagas and Early People’s ancient language! You want to choose Early People’s ancient language then?”

“No, neither will do.” The old ghost still shook his head rigidly, and slowly said, “At least, not for you, they will not! I have a medicine pot and you can put the medicines in for me!”

Li Qiye became serious and stared at the old ghost, before finally speaking, “This is not your trading rule! At least, the item that I want, is not worth this price!”

Li Shuangyan and Chen Baojiao, in the back, were confused listening to this odd conversation, they didn’t know what was going on.

“I know. But you are an exception. The only exception!” The old ghost slowly continued, “I can smell the scent on your body. So, your three currencies will not do now!”

Li Qiye narrowed his eyes and silently looked at the old ghost. As the Dark Crow with eons of experience, he had seen everything. He naturally knew what this old ghost was, and knew how difficult it was to deal with him.

“I want to see what you are concocting!” Finally, Li Qiye relented.

The old ghost didn’t look at Li Qiye and stood up like a corpse, and slowly said: “Follow me.” He then walked into the door as black as ink in the back.

“Three hard currencies?” Looking at Li Qiye, Li Shuangyan felt that this type of transaction was too weird.

“This place differs from the outside.” Li Qiye smilingly shook his head: “Outside uses Refined Jades, spirit medicines, fate pills, and even treasures. All of those are not tradeable in this place!”

“What is a true or false great saga?” Chen Baojiao curiously asked, “Great sagas also have true and false?”

“Of course there are.” Li Qiye smiled and said: “At this place, you can naturally obtain the items you want. First you have to think about a rare and strange enough item. All the treasures that aren’t available outside, they will all be here. If you want these items, it is very simple, you can tell the old ghost an old story…”

“… Of course, this old story has to be ridiculous and bizarre. What is even stranger is that this old story can be your own personal experience, or be made up by you. If your old story is true, then you can immediately obtain the item you want. However, if your made up story is real enough, you can still trade for the item, but you need to be able to fool him!” Li Qiye smiled as he finished his words.

Hearing this, both Li Shuangyan and Chen Baojiao were surprised. Such a thing was too strange.

“What about corpses?” Chen Baojiao asked once again.

Li Qiye shook his head and said: “Corpses are even harder. Corpses that could catch his eyes are absolutely unimaginable and were definitely capable of becoming existences like Earth Immortals! Of course, you can also trade for the most amazing things out of this place with them!”

“Come, don’t let him wait too long.” Li Qiye then smiled and walked towards a narrow path to the dark door.

Li Shuangyan and Chen Baojiao glanced at each other once, then busily followed him inside.

They originally thought that this door would lead to a dark place but, after entering, they found that this was not the case. Behind the door was a Heavenly Grotto in the form of a large yard. In this place, rays of sunlight shined down giving a very comfortable and lazy feeling.

However, once they saw the contents of the yard, the girl’s mouths gaped and they simply could not close them! They stared at all the items ahead in complete astonishment.
