Undead Mage from a Cell

The Eldest Princess Anna’s expectations for the Soul Gathering Land were instantly heightened after just one meal.

For the Eldest Princess Anna, if food here could be made this way, then there should be no problem with the market.

Once a woman’s shopping interest is piqued, not even death can deter her.

After enjoying the food, the Eldest Princess Anna and Shaya dragged Gu Xi out together.

By now, Shaya had thoroughly familiarized herself with everything in the Soul Gathering Land.

She knew the roads here better than even Zuo Ya.

Shaya dragged Gu Xi along, and after just a few steps, the scenery in front of them changed.

They had moved from the eerie city streets to a chaotic, enormous market.

The market before them, like the street outside, had both chaotic and orderly aspects.

Around the market were fixed shops with large and small signs at their doors, some even offering a dozen different types of business.

Inside the market, it was completely chaotic; as long as you had something to sell, you could simply lay a cloth on the ground to set up a stall.

No one would mind your actions, and of course, no one would watch over the items on your stall for you.

One could say that in this market, the rule was: shop order is guaranteed, while outside stalls depend on luck.

According to Shaya’s thinking, normally she would take Gu Xi around the outside stalls, because although there was no guarantee, there would always be some good things to pick up.

But this time it wasn’t just Gu Xi; there was also the Eldest Princess Anna and Luna’s shopping list.

So the situation was different, and Shaya directly took Gu Xi to a shop on the east wall.

At the door of this shop, there were seven or eight signs with words like ’Mercenary,’ ’Herbs,’ ’Dragon Bone,’ ’Spirit Treasure,’ and ’Pawn’ written on them.

Upon entering the store, Gu Xi saw many bounty posters stuck on the shop’s wall.

The hand-drawn images on them made it impossible to tell who was being wanted.

However, the prices below were relatively high; here, everything was priced in Yin Qi Stones or Spirit Stones, with the highest bounty being the Rakshasa Ghost King from the East, Level 14, worth eight hundred Spirit Stones upon capture.

Considering the annual income from the micro earth vein under the Blood Sacrifice Ridge, one could understand the value of those eight hundred Spirit Stones.

Looking at this situation, Gu Xi began to contemplate whether or not to venture out and slay the Rakshasa Ghost King.

Seeing Gu Xi’s reaction, Shaya pulled at his arm and shook her head at him.

The Eldest Princess Anna turned her head at this time as well, taking a glance at the bounty on the wall, then the price, and whispered to Gu Xi: ”Don’t act recklessly, there’s much more to this than it seems.”

Gu Xi wasn’t foolish; he had just looked a bit longer because the price was indeed too high.

With Shaya and the Eldest Princess Anna’s reminders, he understood that there was something off.

He swiftly turned his head, his gaze sweeping across the bounty posters, then focused his attention on the items in the counter display.

In the shop he was in, aside from the bounty posters on the entrance wall, the rest was quite traditionally styled.

Common items were all displayed on ancient shelves, allowing one to see at a glance what good goods were for sale in this shop.

Seeing Shaya leading Gu Xi and the others in, a man wearing a silk robe quickly walked out.

The man’s skin looked like varnished black wood, and his limbs were somewhat stiff as he moved.

”Isn’t this Miss Shaya? What do you want to buy this time?”

”This is my master, buying in bulk, so you need to give me a lower price.”

Shaya gestured towards Gu Xi with her hand.

Upon hearing this, the man immediately extended both hands, ”So it’s the lord, look at me, please come this way. I’m the shop owner here, you can call me Old Coffin.”

As soon as Gu Xi interacted with this Old Coffin, he understood the situation.

This man was essentially a coffin plank; as for how he took on human form, Gu Xi, as an Undead Mage, didn’t know much about it.

The only visible thing was that Shaya seemed to approve of him, so there shouldn’t be an issue.

”Hello, I’m here to buy some materials for city building this time, it’ll be a large quantity.”

”No worries, our materials here, the soil and stones, all come from tombs over a thousand years old, absolutely brimming with Yin Qi, while the wood is all made from the finest coffin wood.

At least five hundred years old.

The metal is all scavenged from ancient battlefields, not only heavy with Yin Qi but also laden with strong Evil Qi, definitely not a problem.

As for gems, I assure you, each piece is a sealing stone, no mistakes there.”

”Can I see the goods first?”

Gu Xi didn’t completely trust Old Coffin in front of him, so he seriously asked.

”Of course, right this way.”

Old Coffin heard this and knew there was a potential deal, promptly inviting Gu Xi to the backyard of the shop.

At this time, in the backyard of his shop, many undead were busily transporting various items.

Among these were inscribed gravestones, coffin lids, or cinnabar-red soil, and so on.

There were also some undead carrying large amounts of rusty weapons, sorting them regularly.

At this moment, Old Coffin proudly spoke.

”My lord, see, wasn’t I right? All the materials here are top-notch.”

However, Gu Xi’s attention wasn’t on these materials; he spotted something mixed with the swords and weapons.

Gu Xi took another look, and Shaya immediately understood his meaning.

”Take all these weapons.”

Old Coffin saw this and smiled, ”Fine, move them to the side.”

But Gu Xi directly stepped forward, ”Put them in front of me.”

At this point, the undead under Old Coffin’s command weren’t sure whom to listen to.

Seeing Gu Xi’s reaction, Old Coffin understood what was happening, ”Put it in front of this lord.”

”Ancient Battlefield Weapons, one hundred and three pieces, can be converted into twenty units of metal, anything extra counts as a bonus, record it!”

”Got it~~”

A bookkeeper following Old Coffin quickly responded and recorded the transaction.

At this moment, Shaya pointed towards the surrounding gravestones to distract Old Coffin.

Meanwhile, Gu Xi’s gaze searched through the pop-up information.
