Old Five is a Goose.

Chapter 754 A Greenhorn Arriving at the Outer Heaven Market

“Lou Si, my friend, do you know how to get a shop in this market?” After realizing that the Celestial Abode Corridor was a sacred place for cultivation, Mo Wuji felt even more urgent to gain a foothold here.

After the battle with Yuan Jie, he became increasingly aware that his strength was too weak.

Lou Si looked at Mo Wuji with some embarrassment and hesitated before saying, "It's not that there's no way, but the way is very difficult. The first way is to give something very good to the shop manager of the Celestial Abode market and ask them for help. They know best which shops are about to expire or which shops are about to be taken back.”

Mo Wuji asked in surprise, "Does this mean the shops here only have operating rights? Does the ownership still belong to the shop management?"

Lou Si shook her head. “No, once a shop here is owned, it will directly belong to the owner's private property. But once the owner has not returned to the Celestial Abode market for three years, your shop will be directly taken back by the shop management of the Celestial Abode market and resold or rented to others. Besides, some people want to leave the Celestial Abode market, and they will ask the shop manager to sell their shops in advance."

“But I want to remind you that these shop managers are all heartless. They only recognize benefits. Even if two people give them good things at the same time, they will compare prices and sell the vacant shop to the one with the higher price. As for the lower bidders, they will not refund the money. When the next shop is sold, the money you paid last time will be void, and you need to pay them again.”

"Sure enough, it's a black market," Mo Wuji cursed inwardly. He had no choice but to continue asking, "Then what's the second way?"

"The second way is that when you know a shop is about to be sold, you actively communicate with the owner of the shop and buy it from the owner. This method is more difficult because there are basically no empty shops here. Another possible way is that every time the Universe Wall appears, some empty shops will appear in the Celestial Abode market, depending on whether you can grab them," Lou Si explained.

Mo Wuji immediately became interested and quickly asked, "Why are there empty shops when the Universe Wall appears?"

Lou Si sighed, "Because all the cultivation resources here come from the Universe Wall. Once the Universe Wall appears, even the shop owners will go to the Universe Wall to grab things. Many shop owners who grab things in the Universe Wall have fallen in the Universe Wall, or have fallen in the Gobi Wasteland Battlefield. After they fall, the shops will be empty at the first time. As long as you can occupy the shop before the shop manager of the market arrives, then you have a chance to get this shop."

"Don't the shop managers take back such shops?"

"They will take it back. You just have to say that the deceased was your friend or fellow disciple. Although everyone knows you are lying, because you were the first to occupy the shop, no one will drive you away."

“……” Mo Wuji was completely speechless. It was indeed such a world.

"Thank you for saving me, but unfortunately I can't help you. I'm going back to the Celestial Abode Demon Race Corridor. I still want to remind you that even if you occupy a shop, it's difficult to stay there for long without a certain amount of strength." Although Lou Si wanted to help Mo Wuji very much, her strength was limited and she couldn't help Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji clasped his fist, "Lou Si, my friend, you have already helped me a lot. My name is Mo Wuji."

After a pause, Mo Wuji continued, "Lou Si, my friend, I don't think you are from the Demon Race. The aura of your cultivation technique is also unrelated to the Demon Race. Why do you want to stay in the Demon Race?"

Lou Si sighed. "When I first came, a human cultivator wanted to rob me of my things, so I killed him. You know, if you kill a human immortal, you can only go to the Demon Race. Later, I lived in the Demon Race area, and every time in the battle for resources in the Universe Wall, I fought against the human immortals. I have no way out. In fact, I have always wanted to leave the Celestial Abode Corridor, but leaving here is not a simple thing either. Mo, my friend, thank you again for saving my life. Goodbye."

"Wait, I have a ring here, let me give you one." Mo Wuji saw that Lou Si didn't seem to have a ring on her hand, and he had just captured two rings.

"No need, I still have one hidden. You have already helped me a lot. Also, you can have conflicts with the stall owners, but don't have conflicts with the shop owners." After saying that, Lou Si quickly left the market and disappeared into the distance.

Mo Wuji sighed in his heart. He could see that Lou Si really couldn't help him. Not to mention helping him, Lou Si herself was constantly on the verge of life and death. Mo Wuji had a good impression of Lou Si. He didn't know if Lou Si had a ring, but he could be sure that Lou Si was leaving in shame because he saved her life, but she couldn't help him.

In fact, Mo Wuji still had one thing to ask Lou Si, which was why no one lived in the Gobi Wasteland Battlefield. Unfortunately, Lou Si left in a hurry, and he didn't have time to ask.

Mo Wuji decided to find a shop himself. He had a lot of celestial crystals on him. Although according to Lou Si, it was difficult to find a shop in the Celestial Abode market, he still wanted to ask one by one. What if he found one?

The first shop Mo Wuji entered was a shop that purchased various materials. The shop was not small, and there were many people inside. Although Mo Wuji estimated that this shop would not be for sale, he still found the shop owner and asked.

Hearing that Mo Wuji was here to buy a shop, the shop owner looked disgusted and waved his hand directly, too lazy to even answer Mo Wuji's words.

Mo Wuji didn't care and continued to inquire at the second shop. As Lou Si guessed, Mo Wuji asked twenty-nine shops in a row, and almost none of them were willing to sit down and say a word to Mo Wuji. They either waved their hands directly to tell Mo Wuji to get lost, or they spoke rudely and told Mo Wuji to get lost.

Even though Mo Wuji was very careful, his blatant inquiry about shops in the Celestial Abode market still aroused the vigilance of the shop managers of the Celestial Abode market. Before the two shop managers stopped Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji entered the thirtieth shop.

Mo Wuji also saw the two shop managers. He decided that this was the last shop he would ask. If he failed to buy this shop, he would go to the shop management office of the Celestial Abode market to see. If there was no way to get a shop through official channels, he would go to the Gobi Wasteland Battlefield. The Gobi Wasteland Battlefield was vast and boundless. At worst, he would dig a cave under the wasteland battlefield.

The only thing that made Mo Wuji a little worried was that he didn't ask Lou Si why no one lived in the Gobi Wasteland Battlefield.

As soon as he entered this shop, Mo Wuji saw a dazzling array of magical treasures of all kinds. Many of the magical treasures were made from the bones of demonic beasts. Without exception, these magical treasures were simply made. Even a Rank 6 immortal artifact was only created with heaven-defying materials.

This kind of magical treasure was simple to make, had average attack power, and could not realize the caster's magical powers.

Mo Wuji didn't see a single truly good magical treasure. Without asking, Mo Wuji could guess that the magical treasures here were all spoils of war, and this was a second-hand business.

The shop was not big, and there was only a middle-aged man sitting there listlessly. When he saw Mo Wuji coming in, he lazily asked, "What magical treasure do you want?"

Mo Wuji clasped his fist and said, "May I ask if the owner of the shop is here?"

"I am, do you have a big business?" The shop assistant heard Mo Wuji's words, his spirits lifted, and he immediately stood up.

"I would like to ask if there are any shops for sale nearby?" Mo Wuji asked politely.

"You want to buy a shop?" The guy in the shop stared at Mo Wuji up and down with wide eyes. After a while, he continued to ask, "How much can you offer?"

"Are you going to sell the shop?" Mo Wuji didn't say how much he would offer. He saw the greed in the shop owner's eyes.

Mo Wuji could see that the cultivation of this shop owner was probably in the mid-stage of the Immortal King Realm. Moreover, his improvement speed was very fast, and his Dao rhythm was not very stable. Mo Wuji suspected that he could teach this guy a lesson when he was at the Great Luo Immortal Realm Perfection.

"That's right, I am indeed going to sell this shop, but I want to see what you can give first." The shop owner's eyes flickered.

Mo Wuji took out two jade bottles and a long jade box and said, "This is a bottle of Special Grade Azure Bodhi Pills, a total of six, and a bottle of Myriad Year Immortal Wood Marrow. This box contains a Rank 9 immortal artifact, the Lilei Spear."

As he spoke, Mo Wuji also deliberately opened the long jade box, and a long spear with thunderous light and flowing Dao rhythm was lying inside.

The Lilei Spear was a trophy that Mo Wuji obtained from Qi Junyi of the Thunder Sect. Qi Junyi was a mid-stage Immortal Emperor Realm expert of the Thunder Sect, so his magical treasure was naturally not bad.

Seeing the things Mo Wuji took out, the middle-aged man swallowed. Mo Wuji's asking price was not too low, but too high. In fact, the most valuable thing among these things in Mo Wuji's opinion was the Myriad Year Immortal Wood Marrow, but in the eyes of this shop owner, the Myriad Year Immortal Wood Marrow was the least valuable.

The most valuable thing was Mo Wuji's bottle of Special Grade Azure Bodhi Pills and a Rank 9 immortal artifact, the Lilei Spear.

In a place like the Gobi Wasteland, each Azure Bodhi Pill was a life, and as for a Rank 9 immortal artifact, that was even something he dreamed of. Although he had a lot of magical treasures here, they were mostly garbage.

The shop owner involuntarily reached out to the bottle of Azure Bodhi Pills.

Before the other party's hand touched the Azure Bodhi Pills, Mo Wuji raised his hand and took the bottle of Azure Bodhi Pills away, and asked indifferently, "Do you want to sell the shop or not? If you want to sell it, then the things are yours. If you don't want to sell it, then I'll leave."

The shop owner woke up. From beginning to end, he had never thought about selling the shop. The reason he wanted Mo Wuji's things was just because his magical treasure shop's business was really not very good. How could he not take advantage of a noob like Mo Wuji? It would be strange if someone who asked about shops for sale in the Celestial Abode market wasn't a noob who had just arrived.
