Chapter 1154 – Secret Market
Secret market is not big, a total of only three or four streets, a hundred stalls, coming and going cultivators but more than a thousand people.
Dwarf Lie Devil toward the entrance to the secret market from the nearest stall, while walking.
“You don’t see that this secret market is not big, and there are not many things for sale, but those that can appear here are all good things, and there are even a lot of extreme products that are rare to see in the outside world.”
Xu Chuniang looked towards the stalls on both sides of the market, her eyes sweeping over the lists of goods on the stalls, and she immediately had a number in her heart.
The Dwarf Flame Demon was telling the truth, there were indeed no mortal goods that could appear in this secret market.
Just on this one small stall alone, she saw some extremely high quality magic materials, and even two or three fourth-order holy objects.
Although these few fourth rank holy objects were all common things, and their grades were only fourth rank lower grades, it was enough to see that this secret market was not ordinary.
On some of the sheets, the stall owners would directly write down their price and the magical materials they wanted to exchange for, and their requirements varied.
The Dwarf Flame Demon tentatively asked, “I wonder what you want, what exactly is it, I am more familiar with this secret market and can save you a lot of time.”
“There’s no rush, I’ll take another look.”
Xu Chuniang looked all the way over, her eyes sweeping over the lists of goods on the stalls, and it really did allow her to find a Soul Nurturing Sacred Item, the Nine-Colored Lotus.
Unfortunately, this Nine-Colored Lotus was a bit crippled, with only seven of the originally intact nine pieces of the lotus remaining, and its grade had fallen from a fourth-ranked upper-grade to a lower-grade.
Moreover, the conditions offered by the shopkeeper were also very high, naming this Nine-Colored Lotus in exchange for a Demon King’s Demon Seed.
Some people saw this exchange rule and shook their heads breathlessly.
“You haven’t died yet, guarding a crippled Nine-Colored Lotus, you want to exchange it for a Demon King’s Demon Seed, if it was a complete Nine-Colored Lotus, there might still be a few possibilities.
How about I take the Demon King’s Demon Bone and trade it with you, how about it?”
The stall owner was unmoved, “I only want the devil seed, or an equal amount of military merit, I won’t exchange the rest.”
“Alright.”
The person who asked was a bit disappointed, but he didn’t say anything more and turned around to walk towards the other stalls.
Xu Chuniang took this scene in, it seemed that just finding the fourth-order Soul Nourishing Sacred Item wasn’t enough, one had to find a way to meet the requirements set forth by the other party in order to successfully complete the transaction.
She didn’t move as she looked towards the next stall, her eyes sweeping over the list of goods and writing down its contents as much as she could.
After strolling around for half an hour in this manner, the entire secret market was already finished.
The Dwarf Flame Demon once again looked at Xu Chuniang, “Fellow Daoist, with so many treasures in the secret market, is there anything you need?”
Xu Chuniang nodded her head lightly, “Truth be told, what I want, there is indeed here, but the conditions offered by those stall owners are all very harsh, and what they want, I don’t have.”
Upon hearing this, the Dwarf Flame Demon reminded, “Daoist can exchange what you have in your hands for what the stall owners need, and then make a deal with them.”
“What you said, why don’t I know, it’s just that ……”
Speaking here, Xu Chuniang paused briefly, “To be honest, I have my eye on the Seven Quarters Grass and the Tongyi Jade, but the treasures that these two stall owners want to exchange for are not available in the entire Secret Market.”
The Dwarf Flaming Demon was surprised in his heart, this Seven Quarters Grass and Tongyi Jade were both fourth-ranked upper-grade soul nourishing items!
Soul nourishing things are precious and rare, the top grade of the fourth order, is even more rare, the entire secret market on the two, is considered to be the ceiling level treasure in the secret market.
Dwarf Lie Devil as an insider, know more news, he is clear in his mind, this seven curved grass and Tongyi jade, this is the secret city to take out to attract the attention of all the treasures. The reason why the exchange conditions offered by the two stall owners were so harsh was also intentional on the part of the Secret Market.
“So it’s the Seven Quarters Grass and Tongyi Jade that you have your eye on, these two treasures are very precious, there have been quite a few people who have offered a high price, wanting to exchange them for these two Soul Nourishing Sacred Objects, but unfortunately they were all rejected by those two stall owners.”
The Dwarf Flaming Demon inwardly said that it was a pity, it seemed that today’s deal would only earn 20,000 magic crystals in hard-earned money.
Xu Chuniang weighed her options and finally walked towards one of the stall owners, wanting to try and see if she could use the Yin Sinking Pearl to trade with him.
The Yin Sinking Bead in her hand, along with the Seven Quarters Grass and the Tongyi Jade, was a fourth-ranked upper-grade treasure, and was very much in demand, so she might be able to impress the stall owner.
As a result, after hearing her intentions, the stall owner turned her down.
“I’m sorry, this Seven Quarters Grass of mine, I only want to exchange it for a piece of Heaven Sealing Wood, without Heaven Sealing Wood, no negotiation.”
The Heaven Sealing Wood was a fourth-rank extreme magic material that required 100,000 years to grow into, and was extremely rare in quantity, almost never circulating on the market.
Xu Chuniang was psychologically prepared and was not surprised when she was rejected, “Seal Heaven Wood is hard to come by in ten thousand years, the treasure in my hand is no worse than Seal Heaven Wood, do you want to consider it?”
The stall owner shook his head loudly, “Sorry, I only want the Sealing Heaven Wood.”
After saying that, he even directly closed his eyes, with an expression of unwillingness to say any more.
Xu Chuniang had no choice but to look for another stall owner, but the object the other stall owner wanted to trade with the Tongyi Jade was even harder to find than the Sealing Sky Wood, and was equally soft and hard.
The Dwarf Flaming Demon took her dealings with the two stall owners in stride and gave her an idea, saying.
“In fact, these cultivators browsing the secret market also have a lot of good things in their hands, why don’t you branch out a stall, light up the treasure and write down what you want to exchange, maybe when others see it, they will take the initiative to find you to trade.”
Xu Chuniang’s heart stirred, this was a good idea.
After all, there were so many cultivators who came to visit the secret market, maybe in anyone’s hand, there was a Soul Nourishing Sacred Object that was no worse than the Seven Quarters Grass and the Tongyi Jade, and they would be willing to take it out in exchange for the Yin Sinking Bead.
With the help of the Dwarf Flaming Demon, Xu Chuniang spent ten thousand magic crystals and managed to set up a small stall at the end of the street.
In addition to the Yin Sinking Pearls, she had also added a number of Heavenly Demon grade magic materials to the list of goods.
The Short Flaming Demon was taken aback when he saw the list, especially when he saw the Gloomy Sinking Beads in the list.
After all, Xu Chuniang’s cultivation level wasn’t that high, and he really doubted that she had so many good things on her.
“Fellow Daoist, this goods list can’t be written carelessly, all of these things, you have them on you, right?
If you falsify it and get reported, not only will you face a hefty fine, you’ll also be kicked out of the secret market.”
“Don’t worry, since I wrote these things on the list, I can naturally take them out.”
Xu Chuniang’s tone was light, and after some thought, she added a few more strokes to the list of goods, adding the Golden Jiao Order as well.
Seeing the Golden Jiao Order, the Short Flaming Demon’s eyes twitched, even more determined that Xu Chunniang’s identity was extraordinary.
Not only was this thing of high value, but more importantly, it only circulated amongst a small number of people!
The average person, simply couldn’t come into contact with something of this caliber.
The Yin Sinking Bead and the Golden Jiao Order, indeed, attracted the attention of many people, but after seeing the harsh exchange conditions, many people caved in.
A fourth-order Soul Nurturing Sacred Item, it must also be of top quality, they have to have this kind of good stuff, what do they want to exchange for nothing?
