My Silly, Sweet Wife

”Alright, in that case, let’s go to the Ghost Market first!”

Ye Guichen made a swift decision, planning to check out the Ghost Market.

Luo Shentong had visited the Ghost Market with his master when he was young, but now after decades have passed, he could no longer find its location. Since Fang Tiancheng was leading the way, it was a good opportunity to scout the situation.

According to Fang Tiancheng, the Ghost Market was an extremely chaotic place, yet paradoxically, a very safe one.

Not only were there cultivators around, but also many people from the hidden sects.

Although the number of cultivators was not large, understanding cultivators was very important.

The market was chaotic because it had no laws, yet it was extraordinarily safe because, reportedly, the one controlling it was called the Great Demon King.

Though few had seen the Great Demon King, those who knew of him said he was a true cultivator, a super-powerful being who could easily annihilate a Grandmaster with a flick of his finger.

With such a master overseeing the place, no one dared act recklessly in the Ghost Market.

Not even robbery was dared inside; otherwise, only a dead end awaited.

Upon hearing Ye Guichen’s intention to visit the Ghost Market, Fang Tiancheng smiled awkwardly. ”Young Master, while the Ghost Market is indeed a good place, transactions inside don’t rely on outside currency but on Spirit Stones.”

He implied, how could someone ignorant of the Ghost Market have any Spirit Stones?

Ye Guichen paid no attention to Fang Tiancheng’s words.

While others might not have Spirit Stones, he had plenty.

”You don’t need to worry about Spirit Stones. If you want to join me, act like it.” Ye Guichen didn’t dally, ”But I’m still not very reassured about you, so I’ll have someone follow you.”

”Have someone follow me?” Fang Tiancheng was stunned, seemingly unclear about Ye Guichen’s intention.

Ye Guichen snapped his fingers, ”Gui Tuo, come out.”

A gust of eerie wind blew past, and a shadow appeared beside Fang Tiancheng.

Clad in a black robe, the shadow exuded an overwhelming dark aura that even pressed on Fang Tiancheng.

This person’s cultivation was likely a half-step Grandmaster Realm, definitely above that of a Grandmaster.

”Him...” Fang Tiancheng instinctively stepped back, hesitantly gazing at Gui Tuo.

Ye Guichen introduced, ”His name is Gui Tuo. If you try any tricks, I won’t hesitate to leave you with no burial ground.”

”Gui Tuo?” Fang Tiancheng shivered, hastily smiling in reassurance, ”Young Master, since I intend to follow you, I will certainly be loyal beyond doubt, you can rest assured.”

Internally, he marveled at Ye Guichen’s methods.

Not only was Ye Guichen highly skilled himself, but he also had such a mysterious henchman by his side.

Where Gui Tuo had been hiding was unknown, if he wanted to kill him, he probably wouldn’t stand a chance.

The more Fang Tiancheng pondered, the more determined he became to stick with Ye Guichen to the very end.

As for King Qin, he could roll aside!

Although Fang Tiancheng was one of King Qin’s people, he had little affection for him.

Back then, when King Qin rebelled against the Netherworld Emperor, many of his men were killed, and those left were subordinates who had surrendered from the Netherworld Emperor’s ranks.

Fang Tiancheng’s father had also followed the Netherworld Emperor but died amidst the chaos.

Left without options, Fang Tiancheng joined King Qin.

Apart from his own guards, loyalty among King Qin’s ranks was scarce.

Fang Tiancheng knew well which leg was sturdier.

With Ye Guichen’s prowess, King Qin might not even stand a chance against him.

Thinking this way, Fang Tiancheng naturally leaned towards Ye Guichen.

After sleeping for a day and night, Ye Guichen instructed Fang Tiancheng to wait for him for a day and to set out for Ghost Market by the third day.

After instructing Fang Tiancheng, Ye Guichen cleared up affairs in Tianjing, met with Chu Tiannan, listened to some encouraging words, and returned to Jinling.

Before leaving Jinling initially, Ye Guichen had Luo Shentong keeping an eye on the excavation at Dragon Tomb Peak, instructing him to unearth any original Spirit Stones in their entirety upon discovery.

However, after days of digging, no stone as large as the original one Ye Guichen had absorbed was found.

Yet, Dragon Tomb Peak did have several original stones, amounting to dozens of tons, set aside in one location waiting for Ye Guichen to deal with.

Returning to Dragon Tomb Peak, Ye Guichen couldn’t help but feel troubled at the sight of the accumulated raw stones.

”Boss, how do you plan to handle these stones?” Luo Shentong naturally understood their value, assuming Ye Guichen intended to absorb them all.

Ye Guichen indeed wanted to absorb them all, but since he was heading to the Ghost Market, he aimed to produce some Spirit Stones as currency for transactions there.

”Luo Shentong, want to go to the Ghost Market with me?” Ye Guichen smiled at Luo Shentong, avoiding a straightforward answer.

Luo Shentong abruptly lifted his head. ”The Ghost Market? Boss, I did visit it when I was young, but it’s been years, and I’ve long forgotten its location. Besides, what are we going to the Ghost Market for?”

”No need to worry about forgetting the location, someone will take us.” Ye Guichen patted Luo Shentong’s shoulder. ”I want to make Spirit Stones from these raw stones and fetch some treasures from the Ghost Market.”

”Spirit Stones?” Luo Shentong swallowed and chuckled, ”Boss, this stuff is difficult to make. Besides, as you’ve seen, these are all original stones, without specialized processors, we don’t know the standards for Spirit Stones. I do know they come in various types, but... this is tough...”

Ye Guichen was indeed a bit troubled.

Though, he wasn’t worried at all.

With so many raw stones, purifying some Spirit Stones shouldn’t be hard, right?

Apart from the inconvenience of carrying them, Ye Guichen had no qualms about such purification.

After some thought, Ye Guichen called Fang Tiancheng.

Having seen Spirit Stones, Fang Tiancheng should know how to handle them?

When Fang Tiancheng received the call, he was puzzled about what Ye Guichen wanted, but Ye Guichen didn’t directly explain; instead, he asked Fang Tiancheng to come to Dragon Tomb Peak in Jinling.

There was no reason for Fang Tiancheng to refuse.

Though unaware of Gui Tuo’s exact location, he understood that Gui Tuo was likely watching him at all times.

That day, Fang Tiancheng flew straight to Jinling.

Upon reaching the pile of raw stones at Dragon Tomb Peak, Fang Tiancheng’s eyes nearly popped out.

”These... are these all original Spirit Stones?” Fang Tiancheng gaped.

Before, he hardly believed Ye Guichen owned any Spirit Stones, thinking a trip to the Ghost Market would be futile, and he would merely salivate over good items without acquiring any.

However, upon seeing these raw stones, Fang Tiancheng felt as if his breath was taken away.

”Y-Young Master, there’s barely any spiritual energy in mundane realms, how could there be so many Spirit Stones? Am I dreaming?” Fang Tiancheng pinched himself hard, grimacing before laughing manically, ”I knew it, I knew following the Young Master would be absolutely right!”
