Ghost Emperor Becomes God

Cen Gan took a step towards the light, and he was immediately shocked.

This was an extremely huge underground city, supported by countless tall pillars, and the passage they came down through was just one of the pillars.

Cen Gan felt that this place was even bigger than Donghuang City, with spacious streets and shops scattered around.

The place was bustling with people, monks were everywhere, and vendors were setting up stalls on the roadside.

The lowest level of cultivation here is that of a Spiritual Master, and sometimes even a Spiritual Emperor is seen. Cen Gan suspects that there is also a Spiritual Lord. After all, there is one next to him.

Zeng Xiaochen smiled and said, "Shocked, right? Is there anything you want? I'll buy it for you."

Cen Gan thought about it and realized that he didn't need anything, so he said, "Let's just walk around and take a look."

The two of them walked along the street looking at the things displayed on the roadside, and occasionally looked at the shops on the street, which had all kinds of medicinal materials, elixirs, talismans, equipment, etc.

Finally, Cen Gan stopped beside a small stall and looked at the scabbard and could not move.

"Buy it, buy it." The sword spirit kept shouting in Cen Gan's mind.

Cen Gan looked at the simple scabbard carefully. It was very ordinary and just looked a little old.

When the stall owner saw Cen Gan staring at the scabbard, he handed it to him with both hands and said, "Look, fellow Daoist, this scabbard is not simple. I found it near Lingtian Palace. It must have been used by a master of Lingtian Palace..."

Cen Gan glanced at the stall owner and said, "A master fighting with a scabbard?"

Zeng Xiaochen burst out laughing.

The stall owner wiped the sweat from his forehead. For some reason, Cen Gan looked at him and he couldn't make up any more stories: "I'll sell it to you for 100 spirit stones."

Cen Gan said nothing.

The stall owner added: "You've been looking at it for a long time, at least give me a price. If you don't give me a price, how can I sell it?"

"I think one spirit stone..." Zeng Xiaochen wanted to say that it was not worth even one spirit stone.

But the stall owner reacted very quickly and quickly replied: "For one spirit stone, the scabbard is yours."

Cen Gan looked at Zeng Xiaochen, who casually threw a spirit stone to the stall owner.

Generally speaking, only when you buy a new knife will the seller give you a sheath for free. Small knives like this are carried with you, and few people use sheaths to store them. Therefore, almost no one buys sheaths.

The stall owner happily took the spirit stones. Even though there were few, it was time to open the stall. And the scabbard was just something he picked up casually anyway.

Cen Gan pulled out the Shenqi Knife from his waist and put it into the scabbard. Cen Gan felt that the scabbard seemed to move. However, Cen Gan felt that a scabbard could not move, and it could only be the spirit of the knife messing with it, so he simply put it on his waist and ignored it.

The two of them walked aimlessly in the market, and Cen Gan was dazzled by the sight. Although he was curious about many things, he really seemed to have everything he needed, so he had no urge to buy anything.

The same goes for Zeng Xiaochen. Having reached his level, there is nothing else he needs.

"Xiao Gan, how about I take you to gamble on stones?" Zeng Xiaochen asked.

Cen Gan heard about it for the first time and asked curiously, "What is gambling on stones? Is it fun?"

Zeng Xiaochen patiently said to Cen Gan: "Gambling on stones is a high-level and essential skill for monks. It is a shortcut for monks to reach the pinnacle of life. You are at a low level now and don't understand it yet. Just follow me. Come on, I will take you to have fun."

Cen Gan thought of the happiness Huang You had told him about. He only felt the happiness of delicious food, so he asked, "Brother Chen, is gambling on stones more enjoyable than eating?"

Zeng Xiaochen laughed and said, "That's right! You'll know when you go there."

Zeng Xiaochen led Cen Gan through this underground maze, and soon they arrived at the door of a shop: Happy Stone Shop!

Cen Gan looked at the sign and thought, no matter whether gambling on stones is fun or not, Brother Chen really brought me happiness.

Zeng Xiaochen was obviously a frequent visitor here. When the guard at the door saw Zeng Xiaochen, he immediately came up to him and asked, "Master Zeng, do you want Xiaoyu or Xiaohong today? Or both?"

Cen Gan had been to Qingnv Tower before. If Zeng Xiaochen had not told him that they were there to gamble on stones, and he had not seen the sign at the door with his own eyes, he would have suspected that they had entered another "Qingnv Tower".

Zeng Xiaochen looked at Cen Gan and said, "I brought my brothers here today to see the world. We can just look around by ourselves."

The guard nodded and said, "Okay, okay."

But when Zeng Xiaochen entered the room, the guard still shouted, "A distinguished guest!"

Cen Gan was surprised to find that this place was even more like "Qingnv Tower" than "Qingnv Tower".

A large group of young and beautiful girls rushed up and said, "Master Zeng, choose me, choose me."

Cen Gan was quickly pushed back to the door five meters away from Zeng Xiaochen, and watched Zeng Xiaochen walk away surrounded by a group of women.

Zeng Xiaochen did not forget to send a message to Cen Gan: "Xiao Gan, just pick whatever you want first. I'll look around and just put it in my account later."

Cen Gan now had time to look around the shop. It was huge, ridiculously large, with all kinds of stones placed everywhere, each with a number.

Cen Gan looked at the stones with great interest. He had been practicing the "True Explanation of Weapon Refining" before, and there was a part in it that happened to be about observing the raw materials and decomposing their composition. Now was a good time to put it into practice.

He silently studied the contents of the interpretation while looking at the stones, and from time to time he asked someone to open one or two stones to verify his conclusions.

Cen Gan opened about ten stones. These stones were all cheap, one spirit stone per stone. In total, Cen Gan opened ten stones, eight of which were waste stones and two were green, so he didn't lose money.

However, Cen Gan's main purpose was to verify his learning and understanding of the Jie Zi Jue, and he did not care about the results.

A gentle voice interrupted Cen Gan's thoughts: "Sir, are you a friend of Master Zeng?"

A girl of fifteen or sixteen stood in front of Cen Gan, smiling, and Cen Gan nodded.

"You can just call me Xiao Man!" the girl said happily, "You are my first customer. Xiao Man is so happy."

Cen Gan looked at Xiao Man and said, "I'm only interested in stones."

Xiao Man blushed and said, "I'm sorry. Today is my first day at work. I'm so excited."

It turns out that there will be commissions for introducing stones to customers here, and if the customers win a big prize, they will also give some rewards.

Zeng Xiaochen is a frequent visitor here and is very generous, so every time he comes, the guards here will kindly remind him, and then the maids will rush forward to compete for this big customer.

Cen Gan laughed and said, "Just tell me where Master Zeng is, and I can go there by myself. I won't buy it."

Just as Xiao Man bowed and was about to leave, she heard the guard shout, "The distinguished guest has arrived!"

Xiao Man quickly played with Cen Gan's hand and said, "Master, please keep Xiao Man."

Cen Gan said puzzledly: "Aren't there distinguished guests coming? If you go, won't you have a chance to earn more?"

Xiao Man said softly, "Sir, you don't understand. If the guard says there is a distinguished guest, it means the guest is rich and generous. If the guard says a distinguished guest has arrived, it means the guest often beats and scolds people and is not easy to get along with."

Cen Gan said: "Then you can take me with you. First of all, I don't want to buy anything."

Xiao Man said happily: "Thank you, sir."

Then Xiao Man introduced to Cen Gan the stone divisions, prices, and some rules here one by one.

After listening to the introduction, Cen Gan decided to go to the second floor.

As soon as the two reached the stairs, they saw a young man in white and two men who looked like servants standing in the middle of the stairs, blocking their way.

"Boy, I'll take over the maid next to you." The young man in white said, waving his fan.
