Chapter 2356 The Ghost Messenger's Dark Market, 3 Qingbing Spirit Pills
"This... Fellow Daoist, please don't use such methods to humiliate me."
The Red Candle Fairy's beautiful eyes swept over Chen Xuan, and she said with some dissatisfaction.
After a pause, Fairy Red Candle continued, "Our Xuanbao Pavilion does indeed have many pill formulas. Moreover, it has the most complete collection of pill formulas in the entire Imprisoned Immortal City. However, the pill formula that you require is not a simple matter. It is not something that ordinary shops can provide."
"Even if it exists, it would be the store's most prized possession."
"However, if you are a True Immortal and desire these things, I do have the means. It just depends on whether you dare to go."
As the Red Candle Fairy spoke, a slight smile appeared on her lips.
That cold arrogance instantly reappeared on her face.
Upon seeing this, Chen Xuan's eyes immediately showed a hint of curiosity.
"This Red Candle Fairy is quite interesting. Judging from the looks of it, although the place she mentioned is somewhat special, it should have quite a few good things!"
"What I lack now is not just healing pill formulas. I also desperately need rare and precious materials to improve my cultivation and assist in the cultivation of various secret techniques!"
"If we can buy these things, that would be pretty good!"
Thinking of this, Chen Xuan immediately smiled and said, "Fairy, you might as well just say it. I'm quite curious, in the City of Imprisoned Immortals, where else can I buy what I need?"
"Hehe, fellow Daoist, have you ever heard of the Ghost Messenger's Dark Market?"
The Red Candle Fairy looked at Chen Xuan with a playful gaze.
This made Chen Xuan frown immediately.
Ghostly dark market!
It is said that this is a dark market personally founded by the King of the Nine Netherworld.
Back then, the King of the Nine Netherworlds used his great supernatural powers to forcibly open a spatial passage between the True Immortal Realm and the Nine Netherworlds using a secret technique.
This allows many ghost cultivators living in the Netherworld to freely trade in the True Immortal Realm.
That is why the reputation of this underworld market is so renowned.
Unfortunately, after countless years, the Ghost Messenger Black Market is no longer the Ghost Messenger Black Market it once was.
However, the name of the Ghost Messenger Dark Market has been preserved.
The ghost market today is actually a mixed bag of all sorts of people.
The items sold in these places may not all come from the Netherworld, but the vast majority are of dubious origin.
One thing can be completely guaranteed.
The items sold in the underworld market by ghost messengers are inexpensive.
Moreover, the quality is guaranteed.
Even more, you can buy many rare and precious natural materials that are not available on the market.
That is why the Ghost Messenger's Dark Market has become the favorite place for countless True Immortals to find bargains.
Chen Xuan had also heard people talk about these things.
But so far, he has never been to the Ghost Messenger's Dark Market.
This immediately piqued his curiosity.
"Is there a ghost messenger's underworld market in the City of Imprisoned Immortals?"
Chen Xuan asked curiously.
"Hehe, fellow Daoist, you are quite ignorant. For ordinary True Immortals, there is naturally no such thing as a ghost messenger's secret market. However, I do know this place."
"If you are interested, I can arrange it for you. However, you will need to pay an entrance fee of ten thousand mid-grade immortal stones. How about that?"
The Red Candle Fairy smiled gently.
Judging from her expression, she seemed to hope that Chen Xuan would refuse outright.
After all, an entrance fee of 10,000 mid-grade immortal stones is not something an ordinary true immortal can afford.
Even a Golden Immortal in the early stage wouldn't waste money like this.
"make a deal!"
Chen Xuan did not hesitate.
He directly took out 10,000 mid-grade immortal stones and handed them to Fairy Red Candle.
His decisiveness surprised the expression on the face of the Red Candle Fairy.
Soon, the Red Candle Fairy smiled with delight.
"Since you trust me so much, I will naturally take care of this matter for you. Come to Xuanbao Pavilion to see me in three days."
"At that time, I will personally take you to the Ghost Messenger's Dark Market!"
Chen Xuan thanked him, but showed no intention of leaving immediately.
He just glanced at it casually.
He discovered that most of the pill formulas in Xuanbaoge were indeed quite ordinary, and he didn't even look at them.
However, some prescriptions are still effective.
Moreover, his injuries were quite severe.
Chen Xuan dared not place all his hopes on the underworld market run by the ghost messengers.
"Fairy, do you have ancient healing pill recipes here?" Chen Xuan asked curiously.
“There are some, but not many. If you are sure you want them, please come with me to the private room for a proper chat, shall we?” said Fairy Red Candle.
Seeing Chen Xuan nod, Fairy Red Candle then led Chen Xuan swiftly to a quiet private room on the third floor.
After Chen Xuan sat down, Fairy Red Candle waved her hand, and the anti-peeping array in the private room was instantly activated.
Chen Xuan secretly scanned the area with his Heavenly Illusion Demon Eye.
After confirming that the anti-peeping array in the private room was activated without any problems, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fellow Daoist, we are both early-stage Golden Immortals. Presumably, the ancient healing pill formula we need is also a healing pill formula required by early-stage Golden Immortals, right?"
"Perhaps you are unaware, fellow Daoist, but due to the great battle in Flying City, healing pills and their formulas have become quite scarce."
"As for the ancient healing pills that you need, there have never been many throughout history."
After explaining for a moment, Fairy Red Candle handed a jade slip to Chen Xuan with her delicate hand.
Chen Xuan didn't stand on ceremony and quickly examined the contents of the jade slip.
"Three-Patterned Purple Essence Pill? An ancient healing pill that can treat common injuries!"
"The Three Pure Ice Spirit Pill? It can treat the internal injuries of a Golden Immortal in the early stage, and it also has a good effect on ordinary injuries."
"The Yangchun Snow Elixir, this..."
Chen Xuan carefully examined the catalog of pill formulas in the jade slip, as well as the various descriptions of the formulas.
After much deliberation, the decision was finally made regarding the Three Pure Ice Spirit Pill.
"Fairy, I want the recipe for the Three Pure Ice Spirit Pill. Do you have any elixirs here to refine the Three Pure Ice Spirit Pill? If so, please give me five portions!" Chen Xuan said directly.
The Three Pure Ones Ice Spirit Pill!
This healing pill, which can be taken by early-stage Golden Immortals, is extremely effective in treating internal injuries and also has some effect on external injuries.
However, Chen Xuan was not sure whether the Three Pure Ice Spirit Pill would be effective for his internal injuries.
However, having finally found this ancient elixir formula, Chen Xuan had no intention of letting it slip away.
"Fellow Daoist, we only have three portions of the Three Pure Ice Spirit Pill left. Look..."
The Red Candle Fairy looked troubled.
Chen Xuan also looked surprised.
However, his alchemy skills were excellent, and even a single dose of the Three Pure Ice Spirit Pill did not significantly affect Chen Xuan's alchemy abilities.
It's just that the number of Three Pure Ice Spirit Pills produced is less.
"Three portions it is, give me all of them!" Chen Xuan said.
"Ok!"
The Red Candle Fairy agreed.
They quickly sent someone to deliver the items to Chen Xuan.
After Chen Xuan checked and confirmed that everything was correct, Fairy Red Candle said, "Fellow Daoist, each of these three sets of elixirs for refining the Three Pure Ice Spirit Pill requires 30,000 high-grade immortal stones. As for the Three Pure Ice Spirit Pill formula, it is even more expensive, requiring 200,000 high-grade immortal stones."
"Fellow Daoist, you will need to pay a total of 290,000 high-grade immortal stones!"
One hundred mid-grade immortal stones can be exchanged for one high-grade immortal stone.
This is the market price!
However, many true immortals would not exchange their high-grade immortal stones for mid-grade immortal stones.
Two hundred and ninety thousand high-grade immortal stones is equivalent to twenty-nine million mid-grade immortal stones.
For Chen Xuan, who was used to trading with mid-grade immortal stones, this was an enormous expense.
"Two hundred and ninety thousand high-grade immortal stones? After advancing to the Golden Immortal realm, I feel like I don't have enough immortal stones to spend!"
Chen Xuan smiled bitterly to himself.
Transactions among Golden Immortal realm experts are settled using high-grade immortal stones.
Although Chen Xuan had a large number of mid-grade immortal stones, after being converted into high-grade immortal stones, there weren't many left.
After a moment's thought, Chen Xuan asked, "Fairy, may I settle this with mid-grade immortal stones?"
"no problem."
The Red Candle Fairy readily agreed.
Chen Xuan nodded, paid the full amount of 29 million mid-grade immortal stones, and then took his leave.
Unbeknownst to them, shortly after Chen Xuan left Xuanbaoge, a burly old man suddenly appeared in the private room where Fairy Hongzhu and Chen Xuan were.
"Miss, why are you acting as this person's guide? You know very well that the Ghost Messenger's Dark Market is not a place that is easy to enter!"
"Although the Ghost Messenger's Dark Market has become much safer in recent years, it is still extremely dangerous every time I enter it."
"I am worried that if this person enters the Ghost Messenger's Dark Market, he will probably lose his life in no time."
The Red Candle Fairy gave a cold, arrogant smile.
Watching Chen Xuan's departing figure, he said jokingly, "If this person really dies in the Ghost Messenger's Dark Market, then he can only blame his bad luck."
"Besides, there's been some trouble in the underworld market lately. I'm willing to be his guide this time because I have my own plans."
Upon hearing this, the burly old man asked curiously, "Could it be that Miss intends to use this person to obtain that thing?"
"Hehe, what else?"
"If Miss does this, won't she have no place to stand in Imprisoned Immortal City forever?"
"For the sake of the family, taking some risks is nothing. Besides, that item is a family heirloom. How can we let it fall into the wrong hands?"
"Well, since Miss has made her decision, I will naturally do my best to help her."
"Yes, Elder Zhu, let's prepare the teleportation array as soon as possible. Once I get that thing from the Ghost Messenger's Dark Market, we'll leave Prison Immortal City immediately."
"Yes, miss!"
After agreeing, the burly old man immediately turned and left.
Only the Red Candle Fairy remained quietly standing in the private room.
However, the expression on her face was no longer as cold and arrogant as before.
Instead, an indescribable melancholy emanated from between his brows.
"Father, Mother, rest assured. After I obtain what you left behind, I will find a place to cultivate in peace and avenge you sooner or later!"
……
After leaving Xuanbaoge, Chen Xuan did not continue to wander around the Immortal Prison City.
Instead, he rented a temporary cave dwelling as his temporary lodging.
Wow!
Chen Xuan waved his hand, and the protective formation in the cave was instantly activated.
After leaving some of the Gold-Eating Insects to guard the cave, Chen Xuan himself entered the Immortal Beast Tower.
After finding a place to sit down by the cold pool, Chen Xuan took out the formula for the Three Pure Ice Spirit Pill and began to study it.
Although Chen Li is currently in seclusion and unable to help Chen Xuan refine pills.
However, Chen Xuan still planned to make preparations as soon as possible.
About half an hour later, Chen Xuan had completely mastered the formula for the Three Pure Ice Spirit Pill.
Just as he was preparing to go into seclusion for a while, a terrifying aura of flames suddenly shot out from a distance.
This caused Chen Xuan's expression to change slightly.
The next instant, he shot towards the source of the terrifying fiery aura.
