Chapter 17 - Big Sister of the Ghost Market

　　One bell later. 　　Li Yao was walking alone on the street mesmerized by the night breeze, remembering Helian Lie's head full of lobsters and scallops and sea cucumbers, escaping with his tail between his legs, he could no longer hold back and let out a loud laugh. 　　His life, surprisingly in a day and night, not more than thirty hours, such a wonderful reversal! 　　A day ago, when he faced Helian Lie, he was still like a rabbit facing a hungry wolf, with no room for resistance, and he couldn't even breathe easily. 　　A day later, he made Helian Lie fall into a dog's poop, forcing the "male god" of Chixiao No. 2 Middle School to flee. 　　If those girls in the school who were obsessed with Helian Lie saw it, they would have dislocated their jaws in shock! 　　Could there be a more miraculous reversal in the world? 　　As for Zheng Dongming's warning, he did not take it to heart. 　　From the depths of Li Yao's bone marrow, an inexplicable self-confidence faintly seeped out, he believed that even if he wasn't a match for Helian Lie at the moment, but as long as he went through a period of cultivation, he would definitely be able to open up an infinitely wide world, and trample Helian Lie under his feet ruthlessly! 　　"Helian Lie, yesterday you insulted me as 'garbage', and today you tried to slap me, both of these things, I'm keeping them in mind." 　　"Things don't happen more than three times, if you're honest, tighten your bones, tuck your tail between your legs, and don't come back to mess with me again, I'll be generous and not bother to take care of you." 　　"But if you are stubborn and still hang around in front of my 'Vulture Li Yao', your end will not be as simple as today!" 　　Unconsciously, Li Yao was surrounded by the biting aura of a powerful ancient cultivator from 46,000 years ago. 　　He was originally prepared to go back and have a good rest, and then go to the Underground Ghost Market tomorrow to buy the Shanzhai Reinforcement Potion, but at this moment, he suddenly changed his mind, and walked faithfully towards the elevated platform leading to the underground. 　　There were only ninety-nine days left before the college entrance exam. 　　He had to scramble for every second and grab every bit of time to cultivate and make a splash in the college entrance exam! 　　"Helian Lie, didn't you say that we, the students of the ordinary class, are all miscellaneous fish and trash? If I, this 'trash', even got better grades than you in the college entrance exams, then what are you-what are you?" 　　The underground ghost market was a unique landscape belonging to the civilian class in every major city in the Federation. 　　The 40,000s of cultivation were not peaceful, the wars between the righteous and the demonic sects, humans and the demon race, and various forces never subsided, and the Starburst Federation was also in a state of war for a long period of time. 　　Every major cultivation town in the Federation, when it was initially established, would dig ten thousand feet into the ground to build shelters, air raid shelters, sewers, and ventilation shafts. 　　Various underground facilities were inter-trafficked to form intricate, labyrinth-like dark war fortresses and underground cities, and a large amount of food, fresh water, and survival necessities were stored and sealed with spiritual shields to always remain in the freshest state. 　　In the most extreme situation, even if the ground was all occupied by the demon army, humans could still retreat to the underground fortress, and the various supplies were enough for hundreds of thousands of people to live for more than ten years. 　　The magic treasures and flying swords hidden in the most secretive "underground arsenal" can instantly organize an army of 100,000 people, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack. 　　However, in the Tianyuan realm, now is the golden years of humanism, the Starry Federation in the hundreds of years continue to expand the territory, breaking mountains and temples, the offensive force, the former military towns located in the frontier gradually turned into the hinterland, the underground fortress also in the unknowingly lost the military significance. 　　I don't know when it started, but there were quite a number of poor classes who slowly encroached on the underground space and survived and reproduced underground. 　　Perhaps at first, they were forced by the expensive housing prices and excessive cost of survival on the ground, and were forced to escape into the underground, but they soon realized that the underground world was well equipped and spacious, much better than the slums on the ground. 　　In this way, more and more people live in the underground, after hundreds of years of development, the underground world has been built into a slightly less prosperous, but the degree of noise and bustle greatly exceeded the surface of the "paradise". 　　This is a gray area that wanders on the edge of the law, with a unique order and style. 　　Simply put, in the underground ghost market, the goods may be a little bit of unknown origin, a little bit of poor living environment, a little bit of thievery, a little bit of food a little bit unhygienic. 　　But as long as you can ignore these trivial "a little bit", you can enjoy the incomparably low cost of living, as well as and the ground world is very different from all kinds of flavor. 　　"Bam, bam, bam", the ancient psychic elevator trembled violently, emitting a monotonous sound of impact as it descended several hundred meters deep into the underground ghost market. 　　The air gradually became a hint of turbidity, vaguely mixed with a few wisps of the smoky scent of cheap perfume. 　　Li Yao took a deep breath, like a fish on the shore fluttering for a long time back into the water, the whole person is "alive". 　　Compared to the "Upper East Side", he prefers to hang out in the underground ghost market, if not for the convenience of scavenging in the treasure graves, he would have chosen to rent an apartment in the underground ghost market, and the rent would have been half cheaper. 　　Three minutes later, the psychic elevator stopped at the entrance of a crowded market, Li Yao pulled open the rusty iron fence, accompanied by the ear-splitting sound of "squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak", what came to his face was a cloud of burning incense. 　　The structure of each underground ghost market was similar, following the law of the original military fortress, labeling the areas with numbers. 　　What Li Yao entered was the fifty-ninth area. 　　This was a very famous food street, where ingredients of dubious origins were cooked into the famous "ghost food" through a variety of unimaginable means, as long as one did not look deeply into the production methods, it was guaranteed to be so fresh that it would make people even swallow their tongues. 　　Steaming lard stick patties ...... golden charred fried stinky tofu ...... with garlic, pig's blood and horse meat mixed with blood sausage, the most important thing is to use the lamb's tail boiled out of the oil to fry, and then sprinkled with the special black crystal salt powder in the Northwest Demon Beasts Wilderness, while hot mouth! Hurry to bite, not wait to chew, half solidified blood paste mixed with lamb tail oil on the slide into the throat, only feel the body up and down the spring blossoms, body comfort, every pore is issued moaning, really give a big Luo Jinxian are not change! 　　It is said that many cultivators can't resist the temptation of the "ghost diet", and often change their faces to come here to feast. 　　Even though he had just had a hearty buffet an hour ago, Li Yao couldn't help but be tempted and bought five skewers of fried blood sausage in mutton oil, standing in front of the stall, squinting his eyes and enjoying himself to his heart's content. 　　An older sister in her thirties with a baby in her arms squeezed over and greeted him with a small voice: "Little man, do you want a jade sketch?" 　　The elder sister fished out a cowhide bag from underneath her swaddling clothes, and reached in with her fat hand, grabbing out three jade slips and spreading them in her palm. 　　These three jade slips were crystal clear, flowing with colorful aura, glowing with seven-colored ripples, converging into three names in front of Li Yao's eyes: 　　The Female Cultivator Bai Jie, The Teenage Sword Immortal Abin, and The Cunning Pill Refining Master. 　　"Too old to have read them all." Li Yao swept a glance, unimpressed. 　　"It's different, this is a high-definition version that has been re-refined by a powerful cultivator, each jade sketch contains hundreds of thousands of divine thoughts, the clarity is increased by a full ten times, and every hair can be seen clearly, guaranteed that you won't be able to forget it at first glance, and you'll want to see it afterward, young man!" Big sister enthusiastically introduced. 　　"...... or forget it, come out to wander, no money, really sorry, back to take care of big sister business." 　　It was not easy to send away the big sister who sold jade slips, five bunches of blood sausage also finished, Li Yao contentedly wiped his mouth, unhurriedly walked into the public restroom in the corner of the food street.
