Chapter 65: The Dark Market
While following the rickety man forward, Qin Tianyi continued to release his divine sense to make more subtle explorations.
It didn't take long for him to get a rough idea of the topography of the place.
- If my guess is correct, this stone house should be a good-grade magic weapon, similar to the Tianji Mansion, with a large area of self-contained space inside.
The biggest difference between Tianji Mansion and general storage magic weapons is that Tianji Mansion can store living things, to put it bluntly, it is a portable cave mansion that can be carried around.
Qin Tianyi's master has one, but his master's Tianji Mansion has been arranged into a medicine garden and an alchemy room. It can be seen how obsessed Qin Tianyi's master is with the elixir.
After realizing this, Qin Tianyi's view of this dark market has changed dramatically.
A treasure similar to the Heavenly Machine Mansion is even rarer than a flying magic weapon. It seems that the background of this dark market is also very deep!
Qin Tianyi was not naïve enough to think that ordinary people would open a dark market on the edge of Yuhua Pavilion! This dark market was either very related to Yuhua Pavilion, or the owner of this dark market was a master who couldn't even be provoked by Yuhua Pavilion.
Of course, it may also be that the ignorant are fearless. However, judging from the cautious style of this dark market, Qin Tianyi immediately ruled out this possibility.
Just as Qin Tianyi was still using his divine sense to make a deeper investigation, a crisp "click" suddenly sounded in his ears, and then he heard a woman's exclamation.
"Ah...... bones!" Qingfeng shouted, and a pair of jade feet were already high off the ground.
Qin Tianyi glanced at it and saw that Qingfeng happened to step on a bone. The bone was yellow, brittle, and had apparently been sitting there for some years. It's just that the shape of this bone is a little like the leg bone of a beast, and a three-centimeter-long barb in the middle of the bone is extremely eye-catching.
If someone suddenly wants to bite this leg bone during a fight, the person who bites it must also fall for its tricks.
"Hehe, don't be afraid! This is just the bones of a demon beast. It's okay. Qin Tianyi smiled and comforted, and hurriedly beckoned to Qingfeng, motioning for her to walk behind him and follow the path he had walked.
Qingfeng's pretty face suddenly turned red, she lowered her eyebrows embarrassedly, and said delicately: "Thank you, Childe!"
But his move attracted a burst of ridicule from the passers-by.
......The laughter was still strange and ugly, but he just kept laughing and didn't spit out a word.
If it were someone else, he would definitely quarrel with him angrily. However, Qin Tianyi and Qingfeng turned a deaf ear and continued to follow him.
Seeing that the two of them did not react, the rickety man sighed heavily, whispered, "It's boring!" and stopped laughing.
Qingfeng was a little angry, but she still didn't plan to clash with this strange man.
She was afraid that others would not sell her a beast pet when the time came!
Qin Tianyi looked at this person with a blank look in his eyes, because he had already discovered that in addition to them, there were many other people in this dark market who were quietly watching them. And the more they followed the rickety man, the more people in front of them.
Although this rickety man only cultivated in the early stage of foundation building, the cultivation of those other people was not weak, most of them were Jindan monks, and there were even a few who were actually monks in the late stage of Jindan!
Qin Tianyi didn't think about running away without thinking about pulling his legs, but ...... He can't leave Qingfeng here and live alone. He'd rather die than be a bear.
******
Just as he was nervous, the rickety man stopped suddenly.
Qin Tianyi looked at it and saw that there were a lot of beast cages in front of him, but it was too dark here to see the specific number.
The rickety man twisted his stiff neck and said, "Two distinguished guests, the beast pet is here, you can go in and see it yourself." On the side of each cage is the pet's name, rank, and number. After you have picked it, you can tell the villain the number. You only have one chance to pick, and you can't make a counteroffer. ”
"What?" Qingfeng glared at her beautiful eyes, "What if we can't pick any of them?"
"Just give the villain a hundred medium-grade spirit stones. The rickety man's expression immediately became gloomy, and his eyes, one large and one small, opened hard twice, and two bloodshots quietly crept up his eyeballs, and the taste of unkindness became stronger.
Hearing him say this, Qingfeng was so angry that the jade feet kept stomping.
Originally, she wanted to argue a few words, but suddenly saw Qin Tianyi waving his hand, knowing that he wanted him not to say any more. Qingfeng can only stomp her feet at this time, and she can't have a seizure.
Seeing this, the rickety man became more and more arrogant, and he tilted his neck playfully, "Quack...... If you can't pay for the spirit stone, then leave this girl behind. The villain is missing a concubine...... Quack quack ......"
"It's over!" Before Qingfeng could get angry, Qin Tianyi had already floated out a faint sentence. Although it was only two words, it was not difficult to hear his anger.
The rickety man was stunned, but the next second he laughed again.
Qin Tianyi ignored him anymore, pulled Qingfeng and walked towards the beast cage.
******
As we got closer, the rancid smell became a little stronger, and it was even mixed with a fishy smell.
However, the strange thing is that these monsters in cages are very peaceful, and there is no sound other than the sound of their light or heavy panting.
Puzzled, Qin Tianyi took out a fluorescent stone (an ore that emits a pale green glow, which is often used by monks for lighting) and casually shone it towards a beast cage.
At first glance, he immediately frowned.
The demon beast in the cage is a tiger-type demon beast. The body of this demon beast resembles a tiger, but there is a one-and-a-half-foot-long horn on the top of its head, showing its identity as a demon beast. If this demon beast is healthy, it must be very powerful, but it is a pity that at this moment it is skinny, its eyes are dilated, and its pupils are not focused. There was a strange smell wafting from its mouth.
Qin Tianyi was stunned, and his face turned pale—this is ...... Shake incense!
Shake incense powder is a kind of pill prepared by using shake incense flower as the main medicine and adding a number of excipients. This elixir has no other effect on humans except for a slight feeling of drowsiness. But for demon beasts, it is a kind of poison. If the monster eats it, it will not only make the spirit sluggish and fall into a daze all day long, but also make the monster have no appetite. Many low-level demon beasts will die from running out of energy before the effects of the medicine can dissipate. For demon beasts, this thing cannot be described as terrifying.
Poison naturally has an antidote. Corresponding to the incense powder, there is a kind of pure heart grass. After eating this spirit grass, the spirit of the demon beast can regain its clarity.
Qin Tianyi's chest was full of anger, and he despised such a practice.
These monsters are probably the ones they caught using this method! Damn! The monsters that fell into this place are really pitiful, and they have suffered a lot of humiliation and abuse. With the control of shaking x incense, there is no day to emerge!
Although Yin Zixuan, who was in the Imperial Beast Bag, didn't understand this, she had already seen all this clearly through her divine sense.
She felt a chill in her heart, and even felt a little desolate.
- Animals, are they animals everywhere, and should they be kept in cages and become human playthings?
In her previous life, she had seen enough of the lions and tigers in the zoo, and it was her turn to become a demon beast in this life, does this mean that she will become such an existence?
She casually swept the poor demon beasts in these cages with her divine sense. At this moment, Yin Zixuan's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had discovered something.
