Chapter 407 Ch 407: Timeworn Spectral House

?After leaving the shabby place, Ling Xiaolong found an inn and stayed there.

Three days later, Ling Xiaolong received the message he was waiting for. The Trade Fair was about to be held.

Ling Xiaolong left the inn and went to the same shabby place. There, he was once again received by the green-haired lady. She still seemed to be very impatient just like the first time he met her.

But she still did her job very well.

Seeing that it was Ling Xiaolong, she brought him to a teleportation formation and said, "This formation will teleport you directly to the Underground Trade Fair. Have a safe journey!"

Ling Xiaolong did not understand why she wished him to have a safe journey. He didn't have the time to ask because the teleportation formation had already been activated. Ling Xiaolong was directly teleported to a very gloomy and dark place.

There was nothing here aside from a gigantic boat-shaped structure. This boat-shaped structure was completely black. Not only it was completely black, but it was also very ragged.

Ling Xiaolong saw all kinds of weeds and stones on the surface of this boat-shaped structure. He even saw a few pieces of bricks falling to the ground.

He also saw dents and holes everywhere on the boat-shaped structure. Some of them had been tinkered with, but some were simply left unattended.

But underestimating this boat-shaped structure could be fatal for anyone. It is because this entire structure was protected by various Divine Inscriptions. Most of these Divine Inscriptions were exuding dense killing intents.

Ling Xiaolong was lost for words.

He gazed around and soon discovered a plaque, which had three words recorded on it, hanging down on top of this boat-shaped structure. This plaque seemed as if it would fall at any moment.

The words written on the plaque were: "Timeworn Spectral House".

Ling Xiaolong looked around but found no people.

The floor in many places was broken. Black clothes were everywhere, either abandoned on the ground or hanging on the wall.

Many white masks were hanging on the wall too, revealing nothing but two holes at the eye parts and two holes at the nose part. There was no hole for the mouth part.

"Timeworn Spectral House... What kind of place is this exactly?"

Ling Xiaolong could tell that people who come here would definitely want to hide their identity. The black clothes and white masks were for people to disguise themselves.

Ling Xiaolong approached the Timeworn Spectral House and picked up a black robe, only to be surprised. The robe was made of strange material and was rather heavy. But he could tell that this robe could easily block people's Divine Sense and other tricks of spying.

He also took a mask from the wall and put it on his face. The mask was big compared to his face at first, but the mask soon adjusted to completely fit his face.

Ling Xiaolong had to admit that it was a new experience for him.

After he was all set, he approached the ragged door that seemed to be nothing more than a few planks of rotten wood and tried to push it open.

However, upon touching the door, Ling Xiaolong was stunned to find that, though the door seemed ragged on the outside, it seemed to be very strong and no amount of strength could shatter it. The wood used to create this door was indeed incredible.

Ling Xiaolong then pushed open the door and was welcomed into a spacious hall. People dressed in the same dark clothes and white masks were present here, but still, the entire hall was very quiet. Though Ling Xiaolong heard people talking, they were mostly regular conversations and didn't involve deals.

Ling Xiaolong was lost for words. People here were sitting or standing in small groups every dozens of meters, selling items or talking to each other.

Ling Xiaolong didn't see any stores here. The center of this Timeworn Spectral House seemed hollow. He could even hear the waves, as if the middle part of the house was directly connected to an open space.

There were another three floors over his head and two floors below his feet.

The moment Ling Xiaolong entered the spacious hall, everybody within a hundred meters glanced at him. The person closest to Ling Xiaolong, who was only a few meters away, was looking at him while leaning against the wall.

"Hey! Is this your first time here?"

Ling Xiaolong turned his head towards him, raised his brows that was impossible to see due to the white mask, and finally nodded, "Yes!"

"Since you are here, it means you must have items to trade. After all, this is a Trade Fair. So, what are you selling? Anything good?"

After a brief silence, Ling Xiaolong replied, "Just some miscellaneous items."

"Well... Do you have any good treasure in hand? Like Mystery Descent-ranked weapons and even Heavenly mystery-ranked treasures?"

Ling Xiaolong's lips twitched. Mystery Descent-ranked weapons? Heavenly Mystery-ranked Treasures?

How many people in the could have such treasures?

It has to be known that the Mystery Descent rank is just below the Heavenly Mystery rank. It was already difficult to come by. Not to mention Heavenly Mystery-ranked treasure that only Masters of Chaos possess.

The man said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if you don't. In fact, bartering is more popular at the Underground Trade Fair. Mystic Crystals are useless. Do you want me to show you around?"

Ling Xiaolong remained silent for a while, and then asked, "What's the price for your service?"

"The price for my service?" The man laughed in disdain. "Do you think this kind of service exists here? Here is all about roaming and trading. I'm doing this just to make friends with you."

Unmoved, Ling Xiaolong said calmly, "Do you think I'm a fool? Yes, this is indeed my first time, but I know the untold rules very well. Since we all are wearing masks and dark clothes, it is to hide our identities. We are here to trade, not to make friends. Only fools will come here to make friends."

The man was stunned and coughed in embarrassment. He then slightly shook his head and said, "Fine. Let's be honest. Do you have any treasure that can help a warrior become a Master of Chaos? I can exchange with goods equally valuable to the treasure you'll provide."

Ling Xiaolong was rather surprised. Could a random person that he met after entering a random door be so rich?

Tilting his head, Ling Xiaolong did not answer, instead, he asked the man, "What do you have for me?"

The man narrowed his eyes and said, "Mystery Descent-ranked Fruit for healing, Heavenly Mystery-ranked Cultivation Technique, treasures to assist in the cultivation of Celestial Sovereigns, hidden killing weapons, and more. I have everything you want. If there is something I lack, then it is a treasure that could help a peak Celestial Sovereign step into the realms of Masters of Chaos."

Ling Xiaolong stared at the man for some time and then he simply turned around and walked away without saying anything.

Stunned, the man hurriedly caught up to him and said, "Hey! Don't go yet. Are they not enough? Do you want something else? Can you name what you want? If I have, I can take them out."

Ling Xiaolong stopped and complained, "If I had the treasure to become a Master of Chaos, I would have used it myself. Why would I sell or exchange that treasure here?"

Looking directly into the man's eyes, Ling Xiaolong's tone suddenly turned cold as he said, "Most importantly, if you truly possessed those things as you claimed, you would have sold them long ago to acquire treasures that aid in cultivation. If you had everything you mentioned, you would have exchanged them for other treasures and sought alternative paths to become a Master of Chaos. You wouldn't be here waiting for newcomers, attempting to deceive them!"

The man was stunned. He did not anticipate Ling Xiaolong to see through him.

Indeed, if he had all those treasures he had just spoken about, even if he didn't exchange them for a specific treasure that could directly help a Celestial Sovereign advance to become a Master of Chaos, he could have at least exchanged them for other treasures that would gradually bring him closer to his goal; not swiftly, but certainly steadily.

Seeing the man's stunned face, Ling Xiaolong snorted coldly and walked away.

The man paused and stopped chasing him. Deep in thought, he murmured, "Did I try too hard? Forget it. I'll wait for the next one!"

Ling Xiaolong strode in the huge and dark Timeworn Spectral House.

This was an underground trade fair. There was just one single rule here, that no one was allowed to fight. Other than that, no rules existed. If you are capable, you could cheat anyone. If you have the ability, you can steal other's treasures. If you have something valuable, you can simply exchange them for the needed treasure honestly.

Everywhere, people could be seen making deals.
