Chapter 42: The Black Market
In July, the sun is blazing and the sun is scorching.
Ye Xingchen stepped into the realm of the Seven-Star Warrior, and rushed to the middle stage of the Seven-Star Warrior in one fell swoop, his mood was extremely refreshing, he walked easily, and he always felt that there was endless strength in his body.
"Now that I've become a seven-star warrior, I don't have to worry about being kicked out of the Royal Academy at Roland. Ye Xingchen looked at the teaching building of the advanced class not far away, and his eyes flashed with confidence.
"However, I can't expose my cultivation yet, Zhang Ying's vicious woman will definitely be waiting to see my jokes during the year-end assessment, and I will make her happy and sad when the time comes, hum!" Ye Xingchen then sneered.
"There is also an appointment with Zhang Mang, although I have also defeated him now, but there are still four months before the year-end assessment, and during this period, I can continue to improve my cultivation. ”
"However, whether it is the medicinal materials of the Cleansing Pill or the Condensing Qi Pill, they have all been used up, which is a problem. ”
......
Ye Xingchen pondered in his heart as he walked on the path of the academy.
He had already used up the medicinal materials that King Roland had given him, so even if he became a junior alchemist now, he no longer had any medicinal materials to refine the pills.
Of course, medicinal herbs could be bought, but he didn't have the money.
In addition, you can also go to the Demon Beast Forest near the Roland Kingdom to look for medicinal materials, but the Demon Beast Forest is very dangerous, and there is no general-level cultivation, so entering it is almost to death.
What's more, Ye Xingchen didn't dare to leave the royal city at will now, because he didn't know if Zhang Ying still sent someone to keep an eye on him, once he left the royal city, if he was caught by Zhang Ying's people, it would really be a dead end.
"Oh my God, how did you break through the four-star warrior? Didn't you just step into the peak realm of the three-star warrior some time ago?"
Another long-haired boy smirked: "My father spent a lot of money and hired an alchemist to help me refine a Qi Condensing Pill, and it was with this Qi Condensing Pill that I stepped into the realm of a four-star warrior in one fell swoop." ”
"I see, I heard that the medicinal materials needed to refine a furnace of Qi Condensing Pill are very precious, and after the refining is successful, half of them will be given to the alchemist, so it will cost a lot of money to hire the alchemist, your father has made a lot of money this time. The short-haired boy looked envious.
"There is no way to do this, those alchemists who can refine the Qi Condensation Pill are all owned by the three major families and the royal family, and the rest have also joined the Alchemy Union, and the Alchemy Union strictly controls the outflow of the Qi Condensing Pill, so my father can only spend a lot of money to hire someone to refine it on the black market. The long-haired boy sighed.
The two then left side by side.
Ye Xingchen looked at their backs, his eyes lit up slightly, and then he smiled: "I almost forgot that I am still an alchemist, can an alchemist still need to find medicinal materials? ”
After thinking about it, Ye Xingchen immediately returned to the dormitory, changed into a black robe, and left the Roland Royal Academy.
After leaving the academy for a moment, Ye Xingchen sensed that someone was following him, and the corners of his mouth suddenly pulled up a sneer: "Sure enough, Zhang Ying, a vicious woman, has been sending people to keep an eye on me outside the academy, if I leave the royal city, then I will definitely die." ”
Before, he didn't even dare to leave the Royal Academy of Roland.
Now that he has joined the Alchemy Union, Zhang Ying will not dare to attack him in Wangcheng.
But in the same way, Ye Xingchen couldn't leave the royal city, otherwise Zhang Ying sent someone to kill him outside, and the alchemy union wouldn't be able to control it.
"Hmph, as long as I have the strength of a one-star general, I can go to the Purple Moon Academy. ”
"Zhang Ying, you won't be proud for long. ”
Ye Xingchen snorted coldly and walked along the wide street, heading forward.
When passing through the downtown area, Ye Xingchen bought a grimace mask, put it on his face, and continued to move forward.
About an hour later, Ye Xingchen came to a huge manor, this manor was very strange, although it looked very magnificent, but there was no gate and no one guarded it.
"This should be the black market!"
Ye Xingchen looked at the manor in front of him and thought secretly.
Everywhere, there is light, and at the same time there is darkness.
In Wangcheng, there are some things that cannot be traded on the bright side, so they will come to the black market to trade.
This is the black market.
In the black market, there is only fair trade, there are no legal restrictions, and you can exchange anything as long as you pay a price that satisfies the other party.
Such an underground world, although it is not allowed by the laws of the Roland Kingdom, those princes and ministers, and even the royal family, all turn a blind eye.
Because there is no place for absolute light in this world, and sometimes, they also need some darkness to cover themselves.
Moreover, Ye Xingchen heard Bai Mingyuan say that this black market was actually opened by a high-ranking member of the royal family, so no one dared to commit it.
"The Qi Condensation Pill is a strategic material and is strictly controlled by the Alchemy Union, so if I want to refine the Qi Condensation Pill for others, I can only come to this black market. Moreover, refining Qi Condensing Pill for others in the black market is even more beneficial. ”
Ye Xingchen smiled slightly, and then walked into the manor.
As soon as he entered the manor, Ye Xingchen seemed to have entered another world, where there were many houses, arranged side by side, neatly and neatly, like a city in a garden.
In these rooms, there were black-robed people coming and going, men and women, old and young. But everyone has a common characteristic, that is, they wear black robes and masks.
This is the black market.
Transactions on the black market do not reveal each other's identities, and of course, if you decide to reveal your identities in private, that's your own business.
Ye Xingchen learned something about the black market from Bai Mingyuan, so he was not surprised by this, he directly found a place to sit cross-legged, and then took out a roll of white cloth from his arms and spread it out in front of him.
I saw a line of words clearly written on this white cloth: Refining Qi Condensing Pill for others, only one is accepted for each furnace.
After doing this, Ye Xingchen closed his eyes and waited for business to come to his door while cultivating his battle qi.
There are a lot of people in the black market, especially a business like this that refines Qi Condensation Pills for people, it is simply terrifying.
Ye Xingchen had just closed his eyes, and a black-robed man walked in front of him, and his voice was a little rough: "This Dan Master, what you said above is true?
Because Ye Xingchen's whole body was shrouded in a black robe, he couldn't tell how old he was, so this black-robed man used an honorific title.
In fact, when facing an alchemist, everyone uses honorific titles.
After all, as long as you are a warrior, sooner or later you will have the time to ask for an alchemist.
"Not bad!" Ye Xingchen raised his head and said lightly: "There is one thing I want to explain first, I have not yet become an intermediate alchemist, so I can only succeed once after refining three furnaces, and I can only get two or three Qi Condensing Pills at most after each success." ”
"This is already very good, those intermediate alchemists, they are all big names in the alchemy union and the big family, they are well offered, where will they come to the black market to make alchemy for others. The black-robed man in front of him laughed when he heard this.
Ye Xingchen smiled slightly: "If you want, I can open the furnace for alchemy at any time." ”
"That's right, I just happened to only bring three furnaces of medicinal materials today, so please ask Master Dan to refine them for me, and follow your rules. The black-robed man then laughed.
Ye Xingchen smiled faintly.
I just happened to bring only three furnaces of medicinal herbs?
Ye Xingchen knew that this was the other party doubting his ability, after all, it was the first time he came to the black market, in case the success rate was too poor, the other party would definitely not ask him to refine.
However, it was rare to meet an alchemist who could refine the Qi Condensing Pill, and the other party didn't want to miss it, so he took out three furnaces of medicinal materials to try it, and even if he failed, he wouldn't lose too much.
Ye Xingchen could also understand this, so he didn't get angry, and said lightly: "Okay, I'll refine it for you now." ”
After that, the light in Ye Xingchen's hand flashed, and a Dan furnace appeared.
"Space Ring!" The black-robed man in front of him had a light eye and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that Ye Xingchen had a space ring, this black-robed man was immediately relieved, after all, an alchemist who could have a space ring was obviously from an extraordinary background, and he was definitely not fooling.
At that moment, the black-robed man respectfully presented the medicinal materials of the three furnaces of Qi Condensing Pill.
Ye Xingchen took it, and then began alchemy.
He had already refined more than fifty Qi Condensing Pills, and he was already familiar with this process, although he couldn't say that every step could be perfect, but it was still possible to do it without making mistakes.
The black-robed man on the side nodded secretly, he had also found someone to refine the Qi Condensing Pill, at least in terms of steps, Ye Xingchen did a good job, and there was nothing wrong with it.
This put him at ease.
Next, it depends on Ye Xingchen's ability to control the flames, which is the most critical part of alchemy.
The strength of an alchemist depends on his fire control realm, and only a powerful alchemist can control the flame as he wants.
"Whew!"
An hour later, a familiar scent came.
Ye Xingchen and the black-robed man in front of him suddenly smiled, their faces full of joy.
"It seems that your luck is very good, this first furnace was successful. Ye Xingchen smiled slightly, and then began to weaken the flame, and waited until the flame was completely extinguished, and then began to open the furnace lid.
Suddenly, two Qi Condensing Pills that exuded a strong fragrance appeared in front of them.
Ye Xingchen put away one of the Qi Condensation Pills and handed the other Qi Condensing Pill to the black-robed man in front of him.
The black-robed man was not polite, took it, and said with a smile: "Master Dan has good skills, it seems that he is not far from becoming an intermediate alchemist." ”
"According to the rules, the remaining two furnaces of medicinal materials will belong to me. Ye Xingchen smiled faintly.
He had previously guaranteed that one of the three furnaces would succeed, so as long as he refined one of the three furnaces, the rest would be his.
"Well said!" the black-robed man smiled and continued, "I didn't bring enough medicinal materials with me today, I will come again tomorrow, and I will trouble Master Dan when the time comes." ”
"Eight in the morning, five in the evening, during which I will be on the black market. Ye Xingchen nodded, of course he didn't want to miss his first business partner.
