Cultivating Immortality in the Winter Wasteland.

Chapter 378 Change of Face
Just now, Chen Wang's sword-wielding skills were extremely graceful, and his calm demeanor was even more admirable.

"Damn it, I didn't die after encountering such a thing. I'm going to brag about it when I get back."

Meng Gaofeng suddenly said.

The heavy rain lasted for a long time, all night long.
The next morning, everyone set off.

To these wanderers and the scholar, what happened last night was truly bizarre.

Chen Wang bowed to them and drew his sword from his waist.
The next moment, he flew into the air on his sword and disappeared into the horizon.

Everyone was stunned!

"What a young god!"

Meng Gaofeng touched a new amulet around his neck and muttered to himself.

Last night he could sense the ghostly aura of that woman, who was different from ordinary people. He got a talisman from a wandering Taoist priest.

But the amulet can only serve to sense ghosts.

Last night Meng Gaofeng wanted to leave, but insisted on taking Chen Wang with him.

The amulet on his neck was a gift from Chen Wang, which could ward off evil spirits.
For example, the female ghost like last night was impossible to get close to.

It can be said that every sip and every drink is predestined by fate.

…………

Chen Wang flew the sword successfully. This time he did not drift in any big ways. Instead, he turned 360 degrees and soon arrived at Funiu Mountain.

From a distance, Funiushan Mountain looks like a yellow cow lying there, hence the name.

This place is sparsely populated, there are many ferocious beasts in the mountains, and there is miasma and poison, so some experienced herbalists rarely come here.

But it was extremely easy for Chen Wang here. He was already flying in the sky, and the miasma and poison on the ground could not pose any threat to him at all.

He flew his sword to the most dangerous part of the horn.
There is a black market here, but there is an obscuration here, so ordinary people can't see it even if they come here.

Wang Yue is experienced. He has been here before and knows how to get into this place.

Chen Wang found the marked place according to Wang Yue's instructions and chanted the formula. Soon, the picture in front of him was distorted like water waves.
An arched gate appeared.

Chen Wang walked in, and the scene in front of him suddenly changed.

This place was originally a barren mountain, but after he walked in, the gate behind him disappeared, and in front of him were pavilions and towers, and a bluestone-paved road that was very clean. There were many people setting up stalls here.

It looks very similar to a market town.

This is where many Qi training monks gather to exchange items with each other.
It’s just that many things that are not available in the market sometimes come here.

However, this place is full of good and bad people, so you need to be more careful.

After Chen Wang arrived here, he walked to a stall and took a few looks. There were several books on the stall of a stall owner.

"A complete collection of talismans."

"Fire Spiritual Power."

"Flying Star Sword Technique."

There are also wooden signs around.

Chen Wang had never seen this collection of talismans on the stalls in the market before. Only specialized forces like Baibao Pavilion and Tiangong Pavilion could find it.

The Fire Spirit Technique is a good Qi training technique and is not something from the mainland. You should know that this kind of technique is basically not available in the Hongyun Sect’s market.

"It is indeed the black market. Although it is a place where Qi training cultivators gather, the quality of the goods is much better than that of the market."

“There are more good things.”

Chen Wang looked around and found that there were many kinds of things for sale, but some of them were shameful.
Objects obtained from murders and robberies can be disposed of directly here.

Chen Wang took a look and found that there were indeed some good magical weapons, some of which were top-grade.

"Although this place is a bit remote, the quality of the goods is generally much better than that in the market."

Chen Wang thought to himself.

It's just that he has many high-quality magic weapons in his hands, and for him, the high-quality magic weapons have little effect.

Even a top-grade magic weapon is barely enough.

Chen Wang saw a man who specialized in selling medicinal herbs, but there were just many signs on the ground, with a herb in front of each sign.

There is also a very conspicuous sign next to it: "Sample display, large quantity, preferential treatment."

Chen Wang raised his eyebrows.

The stall owner is a man in his forties who looks very calm.

Then Chen Wang asked him about the medicinal ingredients for the rejuvenation pill.

The man quoted a price and asked, "How much do you want? If you want more, I can give you a discount."

Chen Wang thought for a moment and said, "Give me ten servings."

It was his first time buying things here, so he didn’t buy a large amount so as not to attract too much attention.

The man gave him a relatively fair price, which was cheaper than the price offered by the young man named Zhou Ping.

"It takes quite some time to get here, but it saves me some spirit stones."

Chen Wang nodded silently.

Even if no other treasures are found, just discovering this cheap source of medicinal materials is great.

Poor Zhou Ping, he risked his life to do this hot business in the market, only to lose this important customer.

Chen Wang handed over the spirit stones and put away the herbs.

Then he started walking around the stall again.

Chen Wang had no shortage of offensive and defensive weapons.

Soon, he found a nice little gadget in a stall.

This is a wooden mask with a painted face from theatrical plays.

Worth eighty spirit stones.

The stall owner is an old man, and the things sold at the stall are quite interesting, each with its own little magic.

For example, a flowering wooden stick can produce petals after being activated.
It can also bloom thirty-two flowers in an instant.

Chen Wang couldn't help but shake his head after reading it.

"What's the use of this thing?"

The price was not low, twenty-three spirit stones.

The introductions on these wooden signs are also rather casual, some are more and some are less. For example, the introduction to this mask only has a simple description of face changing.

Chen Wang asked: "How long can this change of appearance last?"

The sandalwood bracelet in his hand can change his appearance, but it has a time limit.
And it consumes a lot of mana.

Although Chen Wang's realm has improved now, the mana consumed in activating the bracelet is quite a bit, which is still not very convenient.

Furthermore, people in the foundation-building stage can see through it at a glance, and even those who are more sensitive in the peak of Qi training can see through it with their spiritual eyes.

The old man was holding a pipe in his hand and smoking it, with smoke all around him.

He looked up and said doubtfully, "Change your appearance? You can't change your appearance."

Chen Wang was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean? Doesn't it say face change?"

The old man nodded: "Changing your face does not mean changing your appearance. It's not the same thing."

The old man took another puff of his cigarette and said, "This is called a facial mask. After you put it on, even a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator won't be able to see what you look like underneath the mask."

Chen Wang originally thought that this old man was a swindler, but his eyes lit up when he heard this: "You can't even see through the Foundation Establishment Stage? Can't your spiritual sense detect it?"

The old man nodded and grinned, revealing his big yellow teeth: "Why else would it sell at this price? Eighty spirit stones, no bargaining."

Chen Wang said: "After putting it on, can you change your facial features at will, or can you only change into a specific one?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, then said: "You still don't understand, young man. This is a mask. Do you understand? A mask cannot change your appearance." Chen Wang's mouth twitched when he heard this.
He knew that the sign said "face changing".

"So what does this face change mean?"

The old man said seriously: "You put on the mask and become a clown. Isn't that called face changing?"

Chen Wang: “…………”

Fuck me,
Feelings are just a mask!
Such a simple face change.

It was just that it could block the detection of the spiritual consciousness of the foundation-building period, and Chen Wang was somewhat tempted.

"Is this thing of yours authentic?"

The old man puffed on his pipe and said with a smile: "Look at what you said, young man, I can tell you're new here. I, Old Zhang, never lie."

Although these words were spoken sincerely, they did not provide any guarantee for Chen Wang.

"Then put on this mask and let me see it."

Chen Wang said.

The old man puffed on his cigarette and said with a smile: "I can show you how to wear it, but it can block the detection of the spiritual sense of the foundation-building period. It's useless, young man."

Chen Wang suddenly said, "You've had this thing here for a long time, right?"

This thing was placed in the corner. If it weren't for the Peking Opera painted face, Chen Wang wouldn't even have looked at it twice.

The old man laughed and said, "Don't tell me, eh, don't tell me, it's been quite a long time."

What he said was extremely sincere, so sincere that Chen Wang was stunned for a moment.
This is indeed not deceptive.

"Put it on and let me see it." Chen Wang said.

The old man didn't have a bad temper and picked up the mask with a smile.

The mask had been here for a long time, and finally someone came to ask him about it, and he was quite willing to cooperate.

"Okay, okay, then I'll put it on for you, and you see."

After he put on the mask, Chen Wang used his spiritual sense to scan the area and found that his face was indeed blocked by the mask and he couldn't see through it even with the spiritual eye technique.

"Oh, this old man is really not a frame-up!"

Chen Wang thought to himself.

After looking for a while, the old man took off his mask and said with a smile: "How is it? Have you figured out something?"

Chen Wang said seriously: "It looks pretty good."

"It's just that it's isolated from the Foundation Establishment Stage's detection. I can't verify this."

The old man didn't get angry, he just smiled helplessly and said, "Young man, I told you just now, but you didn't believe me and insisted that I wear it for a while."

Chen Wang took the mask and looked at it, then put it down and said, "Forget it. This mask is quite powerful, but its use is too limited, and I don't know if it is really useful."

"No more."

When he put it down, he seemed a little reluctant. He sighed and was about to put it down again.

Seeing this, the old man said, "If you want it, I can give it to you at a lower price."

The old man asked for eighty spirit stones, which was enough to buy a decent-quality magic weapon.

Chen Wang said, "Your price is too high, forget it, forget it."

Seeing that Chen Wang was indeed interested in this thing, the old man pulled him aside and said, "Young man, if you really want it, I will really give you a discount."

Chen Wang thought for a moment and said, "I'll spend at most 40 spirit stones on this thing. Even if it doesn't work, I'll accept it."

“Even if it’s real, it’s not very useful, but at least it’s something related to the foundation-building stage.”

The old man looked embarrassed: "It would be fine if you didn't chop me, but this time you chopped me right on my waist."

Chen Wang said firmly: "Although I like this thing, I can only pay forty spirit stones at most."

"Is it okay? If not, I'll just have to give up. I'm still a little reluctant."

The old man said, "How about adding a little more? How about sixty?"

Chen Wang shook his head and looked towards another stall.
"Forget it. How about forty spirit stones? I don't want to bargain anymore."

With that said, he turned and left.

Old Zhang immediately stopped him and said, "Okay, okay, I won't talk to you anymore. Just take the forty spirit stones."

After Chen Wang handed over the spirit stone, he put away the mask.

This thing might come in handy at some critical moment.

Chen Wang was in a very good mood after buying the mask.

After Chen Wang left, Old Zhang shook his head and said, "Well, forty is forty. People don't recognize goods nowadays. Good things can't be sold at a high price."

He felt a little regretful.

But I remembered that young man just now insisted on trying it on himself to see how it felt.
"Could this kid be in the Foundation Establishment Stage? I just took a look at him and thought he was reliable, so I deliberately bargained with me!"

This thought came to Old Zhang's mind, but he immediately curled his lips.
"Impossible, how can it be so easy to encounter a master in the Foundation Establishment Stage here?"

"Just a young man who just got here for the first time."

"Besides, he is already a master of the Foundation Establishment Stage at such a young age. Wouldn't it be a waste of time for me to live like a dog at my age?"

…………

Chen Wang took a look around the black market and, in addition to buying medicinal materials for making rejuvenation pills, he also bought the mask in Old Zhang's hand.

Chen Wang wandered around here for a while and then planned to leave.

"You can come here again when you need to. Or you can go to Zheng Kangguo's big black market."

Chen Wang thought to himself.

He had originally wanted to pick up some bargains here, maybe he could find some incomplete magic weapon, spiritual tool, or some lost ancient skills.

But in reality, nothing was found.

Of course, this did not hinder Chen Wang's enthusiasm to go to another black market.

Finding bargains is not something that can be accomplished overnight, you need to persist.

Just like buying lottery tickets, if you keep buying them, sooner or later you will find that they are useless.

Chen Wang left the black market and after reciting the mantra, the scene in front of him looked like water waves again.

After he left, he didn't notice anyone staring at him, but he didn't fly down the mountain on his sword either.

Chen Wang's figure moved among the mountains and fields like a nimble monkey, jumping on huge rocks.

When I reached the halfway point of the mountain, I didn't realize anyone was following me.

"What kind of black market is this? How is it black? This is much safer than the market in Hongyun Sect."

Chen Wang complained silently in his heart.

He was still a little uncomfortable with the fact that no one killed anyone for the treasure after buying things.

You have to know that the Hongyun Sect is so chaotic that if he goes out to buy spiritual rice, there is a high possibility that someone will rob him on the road.

Moreover, there are so many things here and they are so messy, but no one is selling fake goods.

No one was selling ancient bronze artifacts or treasures unearthed from monks' tombs.

Clearly marked prices, fair trade, and the chance to bargain a little more.

"I changed my shopping platform and found that there are not so many scammers and unscrupulous merchants!"

He said silently.

Then the corner of his mouth twitched.
"Damn it, by comparison, the Red Cloud Sect Market is the black market!"
