A powerful Divine Soul attempted to possess the Two-headed Bear but was thwarted by Xu Zimei. The Divine Soul fled, vowing revenge. Qiu Baiyin advised caution and directed everyone toward the Dragon God Temple. While traveling through White Bone Ridge, they encountered mysterious weeping and observed a strange black line in the sky, which Zhou Yanjun speculated was a form of gene nurturing something unknown. The group then found themselves facing a bustling marketplace street.

The stalls were bustling, and the air was filled with chatter.

This suddenly appeared marketplace made everyone extremely cautious.

Moreover, this marketplace happened to be right on the path everyone had to take.

It wasn't easy to take a detour.

This made Qiu Baiyin somewhat angry.

He said, "These weird things are like sticky plaster, always clinging to you, refusing to let go."

"What should we do then, take a detour?" the Two-headed Bear asked, trembling.

He was completely frightened now.

He hadn't expected the interior of the Heavenly Burial Grounds to be so dangerous.

If he had known earlier, he might not have agreed to come with Qiu Baiyin.

He felt a slight regret in his heart.

But saying all this now was useless.

You Jin, on the other hand, appeared to be a bit bolder.

He said, "Even if we change our route, who's to say these strange things won't follow us?"

"If these weird things are intent on making things difficult for us, changing paths won't have much effect."

"Fellow Daoist You Jin is right, I think we should just force our way through."

Qiu Baiyin looked at Xu Zimei and expressed his opinion.

"Let's see what kind of tricks these weird things have up their sleeves."

"Once we understand their rules, there won't be any problem."

"I'm fine with it," Xu Zimei nodded, offering no objection.

So everyone headed straight toward the marketplace.

The closer they got to the marketplace, the louder the noise became.

"Don't miss out, the Netherworld Great Method is cheap, it can reach Jiuyou and merge with the Netherworld."

"One Day Ascension Pill, just one can complete gene recombination, it's very affordable, come and have a look."

"Legacy of the Strong, can directly inherit everything from a strong person, guaranteeing you will become a strong one in just an hour."

The stalls were filled with all sorts of items.

Some sold cultivation methods, others sold pills, and even some ancient legacy items.

These things looked quite appealing.

At least they were enticing at first glance.

Moreover, they weren't attacked after entering.

Qiu Baiyin looked around.

He said, "It seems the rules of this eerie market are simple."

"As long as we don't buy anything here, we won't be entangled with it."

Saying this, Qiu Baiyin seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, compared to those with ever-changing rules, dealing with simple ones is easier.

However, Xu Zimei shook his head.

He said, "The simpler the rules, the harder they are to guard against."

Qiu Baiyin didn't dispute this point.

He simply warned everyone.

"No matter what you see, no one is allowed to buy anything."

"Once a transaction is made, you'll be bound by these rules."

So, the group of five continued on.

As they passed through the marketplace, more things appeared further along.

First was the Two-headed Bear, who stopped in front of a stall.

On that stall was a two-headed bear head.

One large and one small, they looked like Mother and Child Bear.

Seeing this, the Two-headed Bear was very tempted.

Because he himself had a two-headed physique.

If he could fuse with this Mother and Child Bear, his life essence might evolve once more.

Then his cultivation path would be an Avenue to Heaven.

So he stopped, a bit envious, looking at the Mother and Child Bear Head.

At this time, You Jin pulled him aside.

He whispered a warning.

"Let's go, no matter how tempting this item is, it's useless if it costs your life."

The Two-headed Bear gritted his teeth.

Finally, he followed the others and left.

Further along, Qiu Baiyin was the next to stop.

His eyes landed on a bell.

The bell's description read:

"Soul Summoning Bell, can communicate with the dead, with a chance to resurrect loved ones."

Just these short sentences made Qiu Baiyin unable to move for a moment.

Perhaps only he knew what it meant to him.

However, his Daoist heart was strong enough.

After his face changed several times, he finally gritted his teeth and gave up on the bell.

Even though the stall owner kept trying to sell it to him, Qiu Baiyin didn't linger.

"Does Fellow Daoist Qiu have a loved one he wishes to resurrect?" Xu Zimei asked from the side.

"All my loved ones are alive, nothing to resurrect."

"I just thought it was interesting, might come in handy someday."

Qiu Baiyin smiled as he replied.

But Xu Zimei didn't believe him.

Based on Qiu Baiyin's earlier expression, it didn't seem like he was telling the truth.

But he still didn't pursue it further.

They continued forward, soon about to leave the marketplace.

Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As Qiu Baiyin said, as long as they don't buy anything, the rules would protect them.

It was clear that although the rules were annoying, they were also a way of protection.

The rules bound others, but they also constrained the eerie market itself.

Sometimes, Xu Zimei even wondered.

Whether the rules and the eerie were truly one.

Eeriness could just be one of the species here.

While the rules exist independently.

But still, he knew too little about the Heavenly Burial Grounds.

So all his guesses were baseless and meaningless.

But just as they were about to leave the marketplace.

Xu Zimei suddenly stopped.

Throughout their journey, few things had moved him.

He was more like a passerby, observing the differences within.

But at that moment, as he was about to leave, Xu Zimei was attracted by one of the stalls.

Possibly because this was the last stage of the marketplace.

The items displayed were the best ones.

Aimed at keeping a few more customers.

These items, even outside, could cause bloodshed.

Xu Zimei's attention was caught by a stall.

And on that stall was a cloth bag.

The bag was dark yellow.

Covered in various patterns, it looked quite worn out.

But the aura it gave off surprised Xu Zimei greatly.

This was an Epochal Heavy Weapon.

Xu Zimei had been looking for an Epochal Heavy Weapon for a long time.

But the item was too rare.

He had searched for a long time without success.

Yet here it was, right in front of his eyes.

Indeed, it was like searching high and low, only to find it effortlessly.

Seeing this, Xu Zimei started walking toward the stall.

And when Qiu Baiyin saw this situation.

His face immediately changed.

But after thinking for a moment, he didn't stop Xu Zimei.

Because in his eyes, Xu Zimei was very powerful.

And powerful people tend to have steadfast Daoist hearts.

They are not easily tempted by external influences.

Rashly stopping him might backfire.

At this moment, Xu Zimei arrived in front of the stall.

He finally saw the name of the cloth bag clearly.

"Human Species Bag."
