Chapter Fifty-Seven: Six Second-Grade Elixirs

The underground black market, located on the eastern edge of Blackstone Town, close to the mountains and forests, is guarded by a guard sent by the four major families, and anyone, whether you are a robber or a beggar, can enter as long as you pay a certain amount of silver taels, and neither the buyer nor the seller can inquire about the origin of your goods.

Even, if you rob the goods of the four major families and sell the stolen goods in it, the four major families are not allowed to ask.

It is precisely because of this rule that the underground black market has become the most popular place in Blackstone Town, not only the people of this town like to trade here, but also some of the nearby bandit forces that are not visible, will also frequent it, and this also makes the black market more and more mixed, and the four major families unite and dare not monopolize it.

The role of the four families in the black market is similar to that of the black market enforcers, enclosing a space, collecting rent, and providing force protection.

The four major families cannot monopolize it, therefore, in the exchange, there are many industries of other forces, and there is oil and water to be fished, and many forces acquiesce to this existence, and over time, a peculiar balance is formed.

When Chu Jiang came to the gate of the exchange, looking at the black crowd inside and all kinds of bargaining voices, he couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly, it is worthy of being the hottest place in Blackstone Town, this popularity is simply terrifying.

"Boom!" Just as Chu Jiang was about to step into the gate, two rows of bright spears stood in front of Chu Jiang.

"What are you doing, why don't you let the little master in?" Chu Jiang's face sank, and he asked in a cold voice.

"Little ghost, do you understand the rules or not, you need to pay five taels of silver to enter the exchange, don't you know? If you have money, hurry up, if you don't have money, get out, don't disturb us to do business." A man dressed in a butler's costume next to him scolded.

"It's black. Chu Jiang didn't want to cause trouble, so he scolded secretly in his heart, took out five taels of silver and threw it over.

"Release. The man took it, swept it casually, and waved at the guards.

"Boom!" the guards stood with their guns drawn, standing straight on either side of the gate.

Chu Jiang shook his head and strode in.

In the exchange, the dazzling array of shops is dizzying, and although the streets of the exchange are extremely spacious, they are extremely congested in the face of the overwhelming flow of people.

Shuttling through the crowd, Chu Jiang bought a bag and cloak from a stall, and found a corner where no one was there to put the pills in the storage bag into the baggage.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Jiang retrieved a small amount of healing pills, hemostatic pills, etc., in case of emergency, and finally hesitated, and put away the three bottles of unknown blue-green pills, having the experience of being deceived by the money shopkeeper last time, Chu Jiang was really afraid, before the value of these pills was determined, Chu Jiang did not plan to sell them again.

Everything was cleaned up, Chu Jiang put on his cloak and squeezed around the crowd to make sure that no one was following him before walking towards a shop called Baodan Pavilion.

It's nothing more than Chu Jiang being careful, although fighting is strictly forbidden in the black market, but no one cares about it when it comes out of the black market, and there are many people who have been intercepted and killed because they have exposed their wealth in the black market over the years.

In order not to bring himself some unnecessary trouble, Chu Jiang had no choice but to sneak ......

Chu Jiang stepped into the Baodan Pavilion, and what caught his eye was a row of neat solid wood shelves, the shelves were full of various pills, more than a dozen guests gathered around the shelves and pointed, and several small servants took down a bottle of pills from time to time according to the requirements of the guests.

"Guest officer, please inside, what do you want? Our Baodan Pavilion has its own alchemist, and the pills are the most complete on the entire street, so you have come to the right place here. Seeing a guest with a cloak enter, a servant near the door immediately greeted him, and in his limited hospitality career, most of the guests who wore a cloak and did not want to show their true faces were big customers.

"Do you accept pills here?" Chu Jiang pulled his throat and let out a slightly hoarse voice.

"Accept! Of course, please come with me, the place where you can collect the pills is inside. The little servant said respectfully, leading Chu Jiang towards the small door on the side.

Passing through the small door is a long passage, with a number of closed doors on either side of the passage.

The little servant turned a blind eye to these closed doors, and it was not until he came to a hidden door that he stopped: "Guest officer, please first." ”

Chu Jiang nodded slightly, pushed the door in, and looked around.

The room was about ten square meters, with a simple square table in the middle, an old man in his sixties and seventies sitting on one side, and an empty chair on the opposite side.

In Chu Jiang's room, the little servant followed in, closed the door intimately, and smiled slightly: "Guest officer, if there is anything that needs to be traded, just put it on the table, Master Zhou will estimate it for you, you can rest assured, our Baodan Pavilion reputation is guaranteed, out of this room, no one knows what you have traded here." ”

Chu Jiang nodded slightly, put the burden on the table, and opened it.

Master Zhou only glanced at Chu Jiang in a slight surprise, and without saying anything, he began to count.

Ten minutes later, Master Zhou raised his head: "Twenty-nine thousand five hundred taels of silver, you have a large amount this time, and I will give you three hundred thousand taels, what do you think?"

"Okay, what is the price of the elixir here? If you can, I'd like to change some elixir. Chu Jiang nodded in agreement, the price offered by the other party was slightly lower than his own estimate, but after all, they were all dirty goods, and it was normal for the price to be low.

"Ordinary first-grade elixir is 5,000 taels of silver per plant, and second-grade elixir is 50,000 taels of silver per plant, how much do you want?" Master Zhou said expressionlessly.

"What about the three-grade elixir?" Chu Jiang asked.

"Don't think about the three-grade elixir, the three-grade elixir has always been in demand, and it can only be exchanged for Yangyuan Dan, and the price ranges from five to ten pieces according to its medicinal strength and fineness. Master Zhou shook his head and said with a little disdain.

It's not that Master Zhou looks down on Chu Jiang, he has been working in the Baodan Pavilion for some years, and he has never seen anyone exchange Yang Yuan Dan for a third-grade elixir.

After all, Blackstone Town is just a border town, the level of martial arts cultivation is low, and there are very few Yangyuan Pills that have been handed down here, and occasionally someone gets one or two, and they are all offered as treasures, and no one will be willing to exchange them.

As for the three-grade elixir, this side is close to the Black Stone Mountain Range, but there is not much shortage, and most of the forces have treasures in their hands, and the difference is only how much.

"It's really expensive!" Chu Jiang smacked his tongue and said, no wonder the core disciples of the Chu family only supply one third-grade elixir every year, and this one is worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver for white flowers, and it can't be exchanged for silver, so it can only be exchanged for Yang Yuan Dan!

"Expensive, hmph, this is also in Blackstone Town, the local area is rich in elixir, and when you get to Mocheng, the price will at least double, if the elixir is transported to the royal capital, it is normal to multiply it three or five times!" Master Zhou said with a sneer.
