Chapter 524: Chapter 516: Ghost Market Takes a Slave

“`

Wang Wanyan had his protection and support, and he believed that she would definitely continue to grow and become more and more mature in the future.

After placing the rock rat properly, Qin Niu headed straight for the Ghost Market with a clear goal in mind.

He already had plenty of pets, and with limited energy and resources, he did not plan to add new pets lightly. Unless he encountered some especially heaven-defying pets, that would be a different story.

The Ghost Market was located on the edge of Rat City. Two ghostly green lanterns hung at the entrance, with an archway-style gate standing beside them.

Four characters were engraved on it: “Rat City Ghost Market”.

Under the glow of the lanterns, the calligraphic characters appeared particularly eerie.

The whole Ghost Market was pitch black and utterly silent; those with less courage might feel their legs go soft at the entrance and turn to flee immediately.

Qin Niu, of course, was not afraid. If he dared to kill an infant demon, why would he fear ghosts?

He walked straight in.

All around was quiet. Could the market be inside?

“Ao—”

At that moment, he heard the howl of a wolf, and it was not far to his left.

Upon instinct, he turned his head to follow the sound, and despite his bravery, he was startled. In the darkness on the left, a pair of menacing green eyes fixed on him.

With his cultivation power focused on his eyes, he finally saw clearly.

There was an old man sitting on the ground, with a ferocious wild wolf tied to a stone pillar behind him.

The wolf was as big as a one-year-old calf, with a body covered in blue fur. The fur near its brow was tinged with yellow, bordering on golden. It had a V-shaped patch of white fur around its neck, and its tail dragged along the ground.

Green wolves were even rarer than grey wolves, both belonging to larger species of wolves.

Coyotes, dholes, and Langshan wolves were all much smaller.

Just by looking at its external appearance, one could tell the wolf was powerful, level-headed, and probably very fierce. Its eyes revealed a cunning nature.

Wolves are often very good at disguising themselves.

The old man saw Qin Niu approaching but remained silent with an indifferent expression.

“How much for this wolf?”

Qin Niu felt that Wang Wanyan would be better off raising a wolf than a fox.

Because wolves were stronger in combat and could also be used as mounts.

She probably only considered raising a pet that was cuter, without thinking about their practical uses.

Asking the price of this wolf wasn’t out of intention to buy, but to get an understanding of the market first.

The old man stretched out four fingers.

“Four hundred taels.”

The price he quoted wasn’t too outrageous, but it certainly wasn’t cheap either.

Because a normal grey wolf on the market only sold for two silver money. This green wolf was priced two hundred times higher.

“Does it have any special features?”

Qin Niu asked because he didn’t know.

Identifying beast pets was never his strong suit.

The old man glanced at him, didn’t say anything, crossed his arms, lowered his head, closed his eyes, and began to sleep.

This attitude clearly showed he was no longer interested in doing business.

It was a sign for Qin Niu to do as he pleased.

Qin Niu observed the green wolf carefully for a while and then turned to walk further inside.

This time, he noticed that every ten meters or so there was a stall owner. The items for sale were diverse, including various beast pets, and even high-quality bugs. There were weapons, talismans, and other items for sale as well.

There were herbs and demon blood that could help beast pets advance in their levels, among other things.

Qin Niu stopped in front of a stall selling equipment.
