The Only Player in ‘Child of Stardust’

"These living people are not only beautiful, but their flesh is top-notch. As you get closer, you can smell the fragrance emanating from their bodies; it’s very likely the legendary Pure Bodies!"

"Don’t even mention eating them, just smelling them can prolong life!"

"Take a look, you won’t be disappointed, you won’t be deceived!"

The middle-aged vendor with a pale face and red cheeks banged a gong while boasting about the porcelain-like maidens on the stage, drawing skeptical looks from the surrounding ghosts.

"Pure Bodies? Impossible. That’s a realm only cultivators can reach. These are just ordinary people; don’t spout nonsense here!"

"A swindling merchant trying to scam money."

"Let me get closer and sniff. If it smells good, I’ll buy it." A ghost with drooling lips and blood-red eyes hungrily stared at the porcelain-like maidens on the stage.

The pale-faced vendor blocked its way, smirking, "Please hold on, brother. I run a small business and can’t handle any trouble. If you’re hungry, you can buy one to take home. The price is fair, just 10 Life Extension Elixirs or twenty gold bars per piece."

The so-called Life Extension Elixir was actually a pill refined using the lifespan of living people. Each pill represented ten years of life and was a rare delicacy for ghosts, also useful for cultivation.

Angry shouts erupted around them, "10 Life Extension Elixirs? Why not just rob us!"
