Chapter 338: The Black Market
Chapter 338 – The Black Market
Zhuge Yun couldn’t help but be moved.
Although Xu Chuniang did not receive the mission, the mood of wanting to get those fellow disciples trapped in the secret realm out of the trap was generally the same as his.
Knowing that the room is protected by heavy formations, but the matter is important, he still probed out the divine sense to insist again, confirming that there is no error before he was slightly relieved.
Zhuge Yun’s color was prudent and serious, and he lowered his voice.
“Senior sister, this object is very important, do not take it out again easily, so as not to be detected by others.”
After saying this, he used the Sound Transmission into Secrets technique to briefly inform her of this mission.
Xu Chuniang nodded, “I understand.”
Zhuge Yun thought for a moment and instructed her with a few words before letting her leave first.
Watching the figure disappear into the room, he leaned back, his demeanor slightly relaxed, a hint of a smile hanging at the corner of his mouth.
This senior sister, really gave him a surprise ah ……
Something that even he hadn’t done, she had actually done it.
Now that her cultivation was not visible, she had such strength. In time, she would definitely be able to blossom, tenfold and a hundredfold.
He let out a low laugh, and only after a long time did he slowly draw a formation with his blood and contact the sect.
After Xu Chuniang left her room, she didn’t go back to her room, but left the inn and headed outside.
It had been nearly ten days since Xie Changyuan’s disappearance, and his soul lamp was still on, but there was no news, and even the Mixed Yuan Realist had not been able to find any traces of him.
The city had been in a depressing atmosphere these days because of this matter, and the cultivators coming and going on the streets were much less.
Occasionally see a few, are in a hurry.
Passing by the auction house, which happens to be holding a small auction, just the number of participants, only one-third of the usual.
Xu Chuniang withdrew her gaze, wrapping herself in a tall cloak, she crossed the auction house, and took advantage of the fading sky to walk towards a remote alley.
The entrance to the alley was manned by someone, a man of smaller stature with a green-faced fang mask on his face, blocking out all prying eyes.
Previously, in order to search for the map of the Tian Yuan secret realm, Xu Chuniang had come to this black market hidden behind the alley once or twice, which was why she had already come here for the third time.
The black market was a huge trading market in the city, as long as there were enough spirit stones, all sorts of things could be found here.
As dangerous as it sounded, in reality, the black market was a safer place than the auction venue.
This was because all those who caused trouble in the black market died. After a long time, naturally no one would dare to make trouble here.
After weighing the weight of the spirit stone, the masked man threw out a jade talisman and made no more movements.
Xu Chuniang didn’t think so either, and after receiving the jade talisman, she walked towards the depths of the alley.
The alley was narrow at first, only allowing one or two people to pass through.
The jade talisman cracked without warning as it passed through a certain spot, which was a disposable item. The next time one wanted to enter the black market, one would have to buy the jade talisman again.
The further in you go, the more spacious it becomes, and in the end, it is even a bit more noisy and lively than the streets outside.
This black market is hidden in the alley, but the door is like a market, the coming and going of the cultivators is extremely large, not half a sign of being affected by the atmosphere of the city.
Many words that can not be declared in the mouth, to here, but found a vent.
In the brightly lit restaurant, three or two cultivators are drinking and talking happily, and there are words constantly floating out.
“I heard that two days ago, someone found the traces of those two people in the area west of the city.”
“West of the city? That side is a gathering place for low-ranked loose cultivators, mixed with fish and dragons. If the Blood Rakshasa couple has been lurking there for the past few days, it’s possible that they could have escaped detection. It’s just that I still can’t figure out why they did it.”
“I do have a guess, I’ve heard that Third Prince Xie has been preparing for his impact on the Golden Dan for the past two years, and they may have struck this time for the Golden Yuan Dan in his hand ……”
Xu Chuniang passed by the restaurant and listened to an earful of news, it turned out that the evil cultivator couple had a loud nickname, called Blood Rakshasa.
I hope that these two people will be smart and not be caught so quickly by the people of the City Lord’s Mansion. She collected her thoughts and circled around a few streets, stepping into an all-black attic at a corner.
Sensing that a guest had come to the door, someone soon came to guide the way, making “cackling” and “cackling” noises as they walked.
It turned out that this guide, not a real person, but a real wooden man.
Xu Chuniang looked at the wooden man and then retracted her gaze, this was her first time stepping into Tianji House.
Tianji House is a property under the Tianji Pavilion, selling information for a living, and knows a lot of secret things.
The wooden man led the way ahead, introducing her to a hut before leaving.
Xu Chuniang swept a glance, the four walls of the hut were empty, except for a table and chairs visiting the center.
On the table was a palm-sized jade tablet, and a pen whose material could not be seen.
Regarding the rules of buying and selling news in Tianji Lou, she had already read all about it in a hasty glance in the great hall just now.
Seeing the jade tablet and the pen now, she was even more clear in her mind.
She no longer hesitated, went forward and sat on the chair, picked up the pen and started writing on the jade plate.
After she wrote down the question, a line appeared on the jade plaque, to get this answer, thirty thousand spirit stones were needed.
Xu Chuniang directly took out the spirit stones and placed them on the table as instructed.
Right after the spirit stone was placed on it, a white light emanated from the table and a formation diagram lit up, instantly engulfing the spirit stone.
The white light disappeared, and the table became empty once again, the formation diagram disappearing with it.
The characters on the jade plaque quietly changed.
Xu Chuniang, however, did not bother to look at the jade plaque; her eyes fell on the empty table, and a bright light flashed by.
The formation diagram that lit up just now was a teleportation formation.
Those formation diagrams were complicated, but compared to the formation diagrams in the Heavenly Dao Palace, they seemed very simple.
In the five great sects, there weren’t many legacies regarding teleportation formations.
I didn’t expect this Heavenly Dao Pavilion to be able to utilize teleportation formations to such an extent.
Xu Chuniang calmed down and returned her attention to the jade tablet.
Displayed on the jade tablet was a vermillion-red elixir with an extremely detailed description beside it.
After reading the contents of the jade tablet, she did not show it on her face, but in her heart, she was already certain.
What that Taoist protector had given her was the Resurrection Pill that could keep her youthfulness forever, so she could take it without fear.
Xu Chuniang cleared the contents of the jade tablet and was about to leave, when she suddenly changed her mind and rewrote a new line on the blank jade tablet.
The jade plate quickly gave a response, wanting to get the answer to this question, the price was three hundred thousand spirit stones.
Seeing this astronomical price, the corner of Xu Chuniang’s eyes twitched slightly.
Apart from those two extreme spirit stone things, she had gotten some wealth in the Tian Yuan Mysterious Realm.
Together with her original ones, as well as the ones she sold demonic beasts for, it was just shy of three hundred thousand dollars.
After spending thirty thousand just now, only two hundred and seventy thousand remained.
She merely wanted to know who the owner of the Demon Soul was, but she didn’t expect it to be so expensive.
Xu Chuniang exhaled lightly and erased the writing on the jade tablet once more, rewriting a new line that was about the teleportation array.
However, after she wrote down the question, a light flashed through the jade tablet, and the words she had only just written down inexplicably disappeared.
