Soon, an area enveloped in white mist appeared in his line of sight.

This is where the marketplace is situated. The white mist before him was formed by a Formation, not only obstructing vision but also affecting Divine Intent to some degree.

Just as Xu Mu was about to step in, the five people who had invited him earlier walked out, bringing along two unfamiliar faces.

The two additional individuals appeared to be the helpers they had recruited.

Because everyone was in a hurry, none of them even glanced at Xu Mu, who was approaching from the front. The moment they exited the Formation, they summoned their flying swords, dashing off into the distance.

Xu Mu diverted his eyes after a brief glance, and continued to move deeper into the white mist.

As if sensing his arrival, the white mist in front of him began to churn, automatically creating a clear path.

When Xu Mu emerged from the white mist, a somewhat deserted street came into view.

Just as Xu Mu was about to move forward, a blue-robed Cultivator hindered his path.

“May I ask, fellow Daoist, to show your Token!”

“I am Xu Mu! I am new here and do not possess a Token.”

In a place like this, where no one knew him, there was no need to use a false name.

Upon hearing Xu Mu’s words, the blue-robed cultivator did not show surprise. He simply took out an iron Token from his storage bag and handed it to Xu Mu. “Ten Lower-grade Spirit Stones! With this, you can access all the marketplaces managed by the Whale Sea Gang!”

Xu Mu hesitated for a moment, and did not immediately provide his Spirit Stones.

According to the map, the marketplace should have been managed by the Blood Bone Gang.

In the Outer Sea, very few forces existed as clans and sects. Most forces existed as gangs.

Stronger forces swallow weaker ones, and the small ones cling to the big ones. They constantly fight against each other, which is completely different from the relative peace of the Inner Sea. This accounts for some of the chaos in the Outer Sea.

“May I ask, friend, didn’t the Blood Bone Gang used to manage this place?”

“The Blood Bone Gang?”

The blue-robed cultivator looked at him slightly surprised.

“The Blood Bone Gang has been extinct for more than a decade!”

If If

Well then!

It seems that the map he had gathered in the Inner Sea was somewhat out of date.

After paying the Spirit Stones and receiving his Token, the blue-robed cultivator did not say anything more and allowed him to enter the marketplace.

The marketplace’s floor was paved with small stones, mysteriously perfectly connected together, making the surface so smooth it seemed to have been polished.

Xu Mu applied a bit of strength, finding the stone as hard as iron.

“Although this marketplace appears desolate, it looks much more upscale than the White River City Marketplace.”

Xu Mu lamented to himself.

The floor of the initial White River City Marketplace was made of ordinary blue stone, while some areas were covered in mud and no one cared.

Unlike here, where even the ground was meticulously polished.

As he continued to move forward, small stands began to appear.

Perhaps due to the low number of people, those who set up stalls did not shout out their wares. They all sat cross-legged in front of their stalls, either engrossed in cultivation or examining their Skills, some were even multitasking by doing Alchemy.

Each stall was enveloped in a small Formation, displaying a variety of goods inside, dominantly materials of some sort.

If someone came up to ask, only then would the stall owners stop their ongoing activities to talk. After negotiating to an acceptable price, they would open the Formation, take out the goods, and let the other party examine them closely.

As Xu Mu walked and looked around, he noticed that the stalls were only displaying low-level materials, which he felt would be a waste of space even if given to him for free.

It wasn’t until he spotted a stall selling secret manuals, that he finally felt a spark of interest and stepped up to take a look.

The stall owner was currently cultivating a Water Skill. Seeing Xu Mu approach, he paused his cultivation and greeted Xu Mu with a warm smile.

“Which kind of hidden manual is Daoist friend looking for? I have nearly all hidden manuals below tier four here, a complete variety, I assure you that you will be satisfied!”

“You don’t seem to have many here?”

Xu Mu pointed at a few sparse manuals scattered on the stall.

“Daoist friend jests! There are thousands of manuals, it’s impossible to display all of them! I don’t have enough spirit stones to rent so many stalls. Just let me know which hidden manual you’re looking for and I’ll find it for you!”

“I am looking for hidden manuals that can help in hiding traces and altering aura.”

Xu Mu did not expect to purchase any manuals from this small stall that would satisfy him. He just wanted to buy a few to study, and investigate the differences between these martial manuals sold here and those in the Inner Sea.

“Dear Daoist, please wait!”

Finding a rare customer, the stall owner spared no effort.

He took down five or six storage bags, and after thorough rummaging, he took out a thick stack of hidden manuals. The stack consisted of hundreds of books, which he placed in front of Xu Mu.

But before handing them over, he picked up the manual on top of the pile and threw it to the ground while cursing loudly: CH𝒆Ck for 𝒏ew st𝒐ries on no/v/el/bin(.)c0m

“This damn old jerk! How did another manual get in here! Next time when I stock up, I must demand my spirit stones back from him!”

Xu Mu could not help but look down out of curiosity.

“Twelve Startle Cicada Skill!”
