He could not stay here. Thinking of this, Shen Ping rode his flying magic treasure and left quickly. About four hours later, he vaguely saw some buildings in the depths of the continuous green mountain range, so he stopped not far from the buildings.

Normally speaking, be it the market or the immortal city, there would be array formations protecting them.

If ordinary cultivators did not know the exact location, it would be very difficult to find them. However, there was no concealment array in the market in front of him, and there was no disguise around.

However, this was the edge of the black fog after all. Cultivators of various races were gathered here, so there was no need to deliberately hide the market.

After observing for a moment, when he saw other living beings land in the market, Shen Ping walked along the stone path covered in moss. However, as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the market, he sensed obscure divine senses scanning. Moreover, the moment the living beings of the various races saw him, their eyes or faces revealed a trace of surprise.

Seeing this, his heart sank. However, his face continued to walk forward without batting an eyelid. At the same time, his body emitted a trace of Nascent Soul divine sense. When he sensed the fluctuation of the divine sense, these obscure probes and gazes shrank back.

It was obvious. There were not many mid-stage Nascent Soul experts in this place.

As he entered the market, scattered different buildings came into view. Shen Ping frowned slightly because he realized that there were no human cultivators here. They were all living beings of various races. He suppressed his emotions and came to a stall. Looking at some cultivation materials casually placed, he asked in the common language of the demons, “What’s the price of these materials?”

“30,000 spirit stones.”

Upon hearing this price, a trace of imperceptible surprise flashed in Shen Ping’s eyes. The materials sold by this vendor were Golden Core-level resources. Although they were relatively ordinary, 30,000 spirit stones were really very cheap. At least, if the same materials were in the five continents and four seas, they would be at least 30,000 medium-grade spirit stones.

He pondered in his heart. It seemed that the purchasing power of the spirit stones here was very strong. Or perhaps there were more such materials. Otherwise, it was impossible for them to be so cheap.

However, although it was cheap, he would not buy it directly here. He was about to leave when the stall owner immediately said, “Senior, if you really want to buy it, you just have to pay 23,000 spirit stones.”

Shen Ping did not stop walking. When the surrounding living beings saw this, they thought to themselves that this human cultivator was probably not easy to fool. He strolled along the main road for a while. He walked into the exquisitely decorated shop in the market.

A few foreign cultivators were casually shopping in the shop, and the receptionist seemed to be a fox girl in human form. When she saw Shen Ping, she hurriedly smiled and went forward. “Senior, what can 1 do for you?”

It was also the common language of the demons.

Shen Ping said indifferently, “It’s my first time here. I want a map jade slip.”

The fox girl was not surprised. She walked to a shelf not far away and took out a jade slip. She handed it to Shen Ping. “Senior, this jade slip contains detailed information. You can take a look.”

“How many spirit stones?”

“This is a gift from your shop to you, senior.”

The fox maintained her smile. Her figure was enchanting, and a large area of her fair skin was not covered. Her slender legs were crystal clear, and the patterns on her skin were not flawed at all. The only flaw was that she had the obvious appearance of a fox.

Shen Ping took the jade slip and strolled around the shop for a while. He threw an Armor Spirit Talisman and left the shop.

Swoosh. He rode his dharma treasure all the way to a river in a remote mountain range. After confirming that there were no foreign cultivators following him, he simply opened up a cave abode on the mountainside not far away.

He sat down cross-legged. He casually threw out dozens of array flags to hide and carefully checked the jade slip. Only then did his divine sense permeate it. The map jade slip was indeed very detailed, but the area recorded was not large. It was only a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers. The records further away were more crude.

“Black Fog North Corner Cliff…” Shen Ping’s eyes flickered. He took out the jade slip given by his master and compared it with each other. However, there was no such area in his master’s jade slip.

He didn’t really care. After all, his master had said that the jade slip recorded information from more than 100,000 years ago. It was normal for there to be mistakes.

This Black Mist North Corner Cliff was close to the Black Mist Direlands of the Abyss of Supreme Darkness. There were many living beings and cultivators of various races. As this place was very chaotic, the markets where the various races gathered would often be plundered. Or there would be Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation cultivators fighting each other and causing the markets to be destroyed. Therefore, many markets were established at the last minute. For example, the small market just now had only been established for less than ten years.

As for the surrounding area, it was the southern end of the Black Mountain Range. It was relatively remote at the North Point Cliff. Most of them were areas where foreign races and demons were active.

The humans were mainly concentrated in the east of the Black Mountain Range.

Since he knew the general situation, Shen Ping rested here for a while before rushing straight to the east. Even if he rode a top-grade flying treasure from the south to the east, it would take him two to four hours. During this period, he had to cross many places occupied by demons or secluded cultivators.

In order to avoid trouble, he swept his divine sense from time to time along the way. His powerful divine sense, which was about to break through to the late-stage Nascent Soul realm, really shocked many foreign race cultivators.

There were naturally powerful cultivators in the Abyss of Supreme Darkness, but there were very few experts at the Void Refinement Realm at the edge of the Black Mist Direlands. After all, the resources here were relatively poor in the eyes of Void Refinement cultivators. Even the Black Mist Thread Stone Fish was only of some help to them.

Although late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators were not considered experts, in such a chaotic place, they usually did not attack without much confidence.

Just like that, Shen Ping arrived at the eastern area without any mishaps. According to the map jade slip, he stopped at the Green Flood Dragon Market that had been established for a hundred years.

The name of the market was very straightforward.

This was because the one who established this market was a green flood dragon of the demon race. Its strength was tyrannical, and coupled with the fact that it followed the rules relatively well, it gradually caused this market to become more and more prosperous. However, the overall layout of the market was very chaotic. Other than a few decent streets in the middle, the other places were casually excavated cave abodes. Even so, the rental price of these cave abodes was not low.

Just as Shen Ping was strolling around the various shops, the main street suddenly became lively. A faint voice continued to sound. “The An sisters will be auctioned in ten days. The highest bidder will win!”

Immediately after, there were discussions among the foreign race cultivators not far from Shen Ping.

“Tsk tsk, these An sisters are quite beautiful human cultivators. They were only taken into the cave by Senior Green Flood Dragon 20 years ago. I didn’t expect him to get tired of them so quickly.”

“Demon flood dragon is a playboy to begin with. Besides, all the female human cultivators that have been taken in by him over the years have been auctioned off.”

“Who asked the human race to decline more and more? The demons who were once suppressed will naturally take revenge.”

“The Human Race is almost at the bottom of the Myriad Spirit Ranking. If not for their previous foundation, they would have long been reduced to a weak race.”

“Sooner or later.”

Listening to these undisguised discussions, Shen Ping frowned. He did not expect to encounter such a thing in this market where humans gathered. When the voice was far away, he came to a pill shop run by human cultivators. He casually bought two bottles of medicinal pills. He asked indirectly.

The shopkeeper of the pharmacy sighed and said, “The An sisters are quite unlucky. As soon as they arrived at the Green Flood Dragon Market, they encountered a disguised Green Flood Dragon wandering around. That Green Flood Dragon is not bad in other aspects, but it has a dissolute nature, especially when it likes female human cultivators.”

Shen Ping asked about the Myriad Spirit Ranking again. The shopkeeper of the pharmacy looked at Shen Ping strangely, as if he was curious why he did not know about the Myriad Spirit Ranking. However, he did not probe further. Instead, he said, “The Myriad Spirit Ranking is a strange ranking that spread tens of thousands of years ago. It can affect the rise and fall of races. No one knows the exact effect, but it really exists. For example, the demon race relied on the Myriad Spirit Ranking to rise. The most obvious is that there are more and more demon beasts with bloodline divine powers!

“Our human race is stronger than the demons in terms of spells and magic treasures. However, in the face of the power of bloodline divine powers, we can’t help but be at a disadvantage. As time passed, we were suppressed by the demons.”

Shen Ping’s heart sank when he heard that. The cultivation world was huge. Most of the low-level cultivators were running around for themselves. Who would pay attention to the matters of the race? Now, even the low-level people in the Black Mist Direlands knew about it. One could imagine the impact of the Myriad Spirit Ranking..
