Mystery Descends: My Exchanges Are Not Equal

Wang Teng looked around at the many exotic herbs and decided to extract them first before heading to the Moon Exploration Ancient Town.

At that moment, he put the Heaven-Controlling Bottle into his Storage Space.

Speaking of which, the Platinum-level Blind Box has only a 2% chance of containing Orange Legendary Items.

He managed to get an Orange Legendary Level Heaven-Controlling Bottle, although it's in a broken state and can't be extracted, which means its complete value is even greater than the Orange Legendary Level.

His luck was truly off the charts, and he was really thrilled.

Thinking about this, he felt joyful and continued extracting those exotic herbs.

[Successfully extracted Ordinary Level Dragon Blood Grass Essence! Absorbed to gain +3 Physique Attribute Points!]

...

Time flew by!

In the blink of an eye, twenty minutes passed.

Ten minutes passed in the outside world.

Wang Teng finally finished extracting all those exotic herbs, and his combat power unknowingly increased to 21,200 points!

Afterward, he added all the 400 Free Attribute Points he gained from upgrading to Level 4 Home.

As a result, his combat power once again increased to 21,600 points, just shy of reaching 22,000 points.

Not bad! Not bad!

Wang Teng stood up with satisfaction.

Twenty-two thousand combat power is just Wang Teng's on-paper data.

If he unleashes his full power, he can even reach 30,000 combat power.

Achieving Top-grade Foundation Establishment is within reach!

Speaking of which, after this massive harvest of regional resources.

He extracted the full quota of all varieties of Ordinary Level Spirit Grass.

In the future, if he wants to obtain attributes from Spirit Grass, he must extract them from Refined Level Spirit Grass.

Ordinary Level Spirit Grass can only be used for refining Elixir Pills from now on.

Spirit Fruits can still be extracted.

No need to think too much, it's time to go to Moon Exploration Ancient Town to fetch some Spiritual Spring Water.

With that thought, Wang Teng tidied up his attire and stood up.

Upon hearing the commotion in the Great Hall, Qian Lingxue looked up and saw Wang Teng walking over.

"Master~!"

Qian Lingxue stood up to welcome him.

Hmm?!

The master seemed passionate earlier, and now that he's here, could it be...

The little girl blushed, her face showing a hint of joy as she seemed to have imagined something.

Wang Teng glanced at her and curiously surveyed the surroundings.

He clearly felt that the Time Force Field had been continuously in effect.

But seeing Qian Lingxue without any action, even able to stand up.

He was slightly amazed: "Xue'Er, you don't need to fully concentrate to maintain the Time Force Field of the Angel Realm?"

"No need! As long as I want to, I can maintain the Time Force Field even while sleeping." Qian Lingxue said happily.

Wang Teng's eyes lit up: "Not bad! Not bad! Your ability is even stronger than I thought!"

"In this way, you can carry on with other tasks while using the Time Force Field. With the support of the Time Force Field, your efficiency is much higher than others."

Qian Lingxue covered her mouth and laughed: "Master, you're so clever! I use this method to collect wood, and my speed surpasses everyone else. My brother always competes with me, but he loses miserably each time."

Wang Teng laughed along with her.

Speaking of which, if Qian Lingxue can sustain the Time Force Field of the Angel Realm even while sleeping, it will be of great help to him in the future.

"Xue'Er, can you maintain the Time Force Field while doing anything?"

Qian Lingxue slightly shook her head: "Maintaining the Time Force Field still consumes some energy. Under normal circumstances, I can sustain it for 24 hours continuously. However, in the master's Great Hall, it's different. I can maintain it for at least three days and nights!"

Wang Teng was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.

Three days and nights!

His Level 4 Home offers significant recovery for stamina and energy.

Qian Lingxue can naturally sustain it longer here.

"So, if you can find a spiritual object that quickly restores energy, you could maintain the Time Force Field of the Angel Realm indefinitely?"

Qian Lingxue nodded obediently: "Yes~! But such spiritual objects that quickly restore energy are very rare!"

Hearing this, Wang Teng smiled and said nothing.

He thought of Spirit Liquid.

That Spirit Liquid not only quickly restores energy but also stamina.

The recovery of energy and stamina alone is comparable to that of a Level 5 Home, much stronger than this Level 4 Home.

If he could get some Spirit Liquid for Qian Lingxue, she might be able to maintain the Time Force Field continuously.

Of course, this was just Wang Teng's speculation.

To confirm, he needed to take a trip to Moon Exploration Ancient Town, fetch some Spiritual Spring Water, and find out.

"Xue'Er, I'm going out to handle some things. If there's an emergency, send me a private message."

Wang Teng came over to give Qian Lingxue a heads-up.

So she wouldn't worry if she couldn't find him after he left.

"Got it~! Please be careful, master~!"

Qian Lingxue looked concerned.

She really wanted to know where the master was going, but she dared not ask too much.

Right then, Wang Teng gave a few more instructions and then left.

He used the Realm Master's Home authority to directly teleport to the teleportation array in Moon Exploration Ancient Town.

Within seconds, the white light disappeared.

He immediately felt his feet touch the ground and arrived at Moon Exploration Ancient Town, at the square where the teleportation array was located.

But as soon as he arrived, Wang Teng heard an unusual clamor and saw various neon lights flashing.

He couldn't help but look up.

What he saw made him dumbfounded.

Before him was a bustling scene, with countless people walking on the streets adorned with colorful lights.

All around were luxurious pavilions and courtyards, with people opening restaurants, pawnshops, and stalls.

The streets were teeming with people, and voices of peddlers shouting their wares filled the air.

This was clearly a prosperous night market, not the desolate ancient town he had seen before.

Could it be that a problem with the teleportation array had sent him somewhere else?

Wang Teng wondered to himself.

At that moment, several vendors and pedestrians were trading in the square before him.

Some people were squatting in groups of three or five, chatting leisurely.

There was also a kindly-looking old man drawing water from a well.

Spiritual Eye Spring!

This was obviously that desolate ancient town!

Wang Teng's exclamation immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

They all turned to look at him.

"Hmm?! A stranger in our town!"

"Welcome, welcome~! Our little town is always hospitable!"

Crowds on the streets erupted into cheers.

At this time, the kindly old man drawing water smiled warmly at Wang Teng.

"Young man, where are you from? Just passing through our town or planning to stay?"

The old man smiled kindly, smoothing out the wrinkles on his face.

But Wang Teng felt that his smile was a bit eerie, yet couldn't quite pinpoint why.

Something's not right!

The town was a desolate ancient town only recently, how did it suddenly become a bustling night market?

Wang Teng looked again at the kindly old man and saw beneath his smile a row of overly white fangs!

His heart skipped a beat, and his eyes rippled black as he scanned his surroundings.

A Glimpse can probe the essence of everything and break through all Illusion Art.

Seeing this, astonishment appeared on his face…

A prompt appeared before his eyes.

Ghost Market!
