Chapter 8: Black Market Changer
Ma Tiankun dragged the exhausted Qi Fan back to Qi Fan's wooden house and helped him onto the bed. didn't forget to ridicule Qi Fan: "Didn't you say that you can escape from prison by yourself?" As soon as the iron fence was blasted, he lay on the ground like a dead dog. Huh? hahahahahaha·····" Qi Fan glanced at Ma Tiankun: "Uncle Ma, you have been teasing all the way, let me be quiet and quiet, can you take a rest?"
To be honest, Qi Fan didn't expect that the consumption of "Yuan Dragon Breaking the Sky" would be so large. But the power is also very objective. After possessing the realm of Yuanlong's first heaven breaking "meaning as a dragon", Qi Fan felt that he could already have a cultivator who was the ninth level of refining the Yang Body and not falling behind, even if he was facing a master of the Yang Vein Realm, he also had some self-preservation power.
Of course, this is all under the premise of not understanding the general outline. If Qi Fan comprehended the power of the General Outline, even if it was any kind, Qi Fan would be sure to kill the monks in the early stage of the Yang Vein Realm.
After sending Ma Tiankun away, Qi Fan lay on the bed for a long time before regaining some strength. In the evening, Li Yuan and the three finally finished their work and returned home.
As soon as they returned to the wooden house, Akuta and the others happily grabbed Qi Fan, who was cooking, and ran to the bedroom. The curtains were also mysteriously closed and the screens were blocked.
"What's the matter, mysterious?" Qi Fan wiped the water stains on his hands on the hem of his clothes and looked at the three of them with some curiosity.
Akuta smiled and pulled out two large bags of things from his arms. The object was tightly wrapped in butter paper, and Qi Fan couldn't see why.
Li Yuan and Chu Yun also took out a pack of the same thing from their arms, both wrapped in butter paper. Qi Fan asked curiously, "What is this?" as he spoke, he opened one of the bags in front of Akuta.
The butter paper was dismantled, revealing its contents. The crushed stone slag like black charcoal was scattered among the butter paper, which seemed to be rough, but in the dark, Qi Fan sensed a charm.
It was as if these stones possessed spirituality and were echoing Qi Fan.
Qi Fan finally came back to his senses from these stones and looked at Akuta and the others. He swallowed hard.
"This... Is this a black spirit?"
Black essence, as the name suggests, is the crystallization of black. It belongs to a kind of ore with very strong hardness, and its production is caused by the black stone in the river being washed by flowing water for three hundred years, and then being struck by thunder, and then being eaten by monsters into the intestines, and forming a peculiar slurry through the friction of the stomach wall.
The surface of this slurry is rough, but it is very hard. If you add a little bit to the ordinary mortal iron forging weapon, then this weapon can break through the mortal product and reach a new level, to say the least.
Akuta smiled undeniably, then touched his round head and gave Qi Fan a meaningful look.
Li Yuan answered: "Brother Qi, then remember that we are going to make a house for the Liu Gong in the neighborhood next door today, right?" Qi Fan nodded, but what did it matter. Could it be that Liu Gong's reward for you is a black essence worth hundreds of gold and yang coins, right?
"Tsk, you don't know. That old man Liu is really stupid······" Li Yuan smacked his mouth unsatisfied. This made Qi Fan a little incomprehensible.
"I said that you robbed his daughter or fell in love with someone else's wife, such a spring heart-warming feeling. Qi Fan teased.
Li Yuan waved his hand and asked Chu Yun to bring dinner, "Four bowls of porridge and a plate of pickles." It's okay. Let's chatter together while eating. ”
Akuta glanced at Li Yuan, for Li Yuan, who was the most unobtrusive among the four, his style of acting was really a headache for his eldest brother. I don't know how to make him honest and mature.
Half a bowl of white porridge on the stomach. Li Yuan finally spoke: "This object, let me tell you, it's that old man Liu who doesn't know the goods." "Getting to the point. Qi Fan couldn't help but glance at him when he heard Li Yuan keep snoring.
Li Yuan shook his head: "Brother Qi, you haven't changed it and built a house, you don't understand." First of all, it is necessary to supervise the construction and ensure the quality of the house, to prepare steel, bricks, cement and other materials, and then to design the underground pipeline to the problem, once and for all, otherwise it will be a big trouble...
Akuta suddenly patted Li Yuan's head, and when he was caught off guard, Li Yuan was taken aback. "Tsk, hurry up. You said that Xiao Qi hadn't changed the house and he didn't understand, so you still talk so much, talk about the point!"
Li Yuan gritted his teeth and rubbed his head, and was lightly knocked by the eighth-level monk of the Yang Refining Body, which also made Li Yuan feel painful. After all, the gap between the two people's cultivation is too big. One is the eighth and the other is the sixth.
"The point is that when building a house, to solve the problem of underground pipe drainage is to dig the foundation, and we dug those things when we dug the foundation for Old Man Liu. ”
Qi Fan said suspiciously: "Then Old Man Liu, won't he take these things, I remember that Old Man Liu is very deductible." Why did I get it back for you?"
Akuta next to him smiled and explained: "The old man doesn't know the goods, and he still said that if he likes it, he will pay this charcoal for wages." ”
Qi Fan let out an "oh", but he touched his chin and pondered carefully, it was not right! Old man Liu was also a **lake, and people within a radius of several miles gave him some face, and he must be suspicious when he saw Akuta and their baby!
As if seeing Qi Fan's doubts, Li Yuan smiled. Pushed Chu Yun, who was eating with his head bored, and said, "Thanks to this kid, don't look at him when he usually doesn't speak." He directly smashed the black essence on Old Man Liu's face, and when he opened his mouth, he scolded something, 'Old Man Liu doesn't die, you don't behave, don't pay wages····· Yunyun. Wow, it was a portrait, and it almost deceived me and my eldest brother. Later, we pondered, the fourth child is not such a person! So what is crazy today·····
As soon as he said this, Akuta put a melon seed on Li Yuanyuan: "How do you speak? Don't scare Xiao Si, Xiao Si has a merit today!" Li Yuan touched his head and smiled embarrassedly.
Qi Fan gave him a blank look and looked at Akuta curiously: "What happened after that?
Akuta touched his slippery stomach: "That must be angry! Someone will come up and smoke us in an instant, you see we are not jealous." "One Ninefold Yang Refining Body and two Sixfold Yang Refining Bodies, although they definitely can't deal with those guards (Akuta was originally admitted to the Guards, but they refused to join the guards because Akuta was too strong), but it is still okay to deal with these miscellaneous people who only have seven layers of Yang Refining Body.
But just as Akuta rolled up his sleeves and was about to do it, Chu Yun hurriedly grabbed him, saying something like taking a step back and opening up the sea and the sky, and directly confessed to Liu Gong. Akuta got angry when he arrived, how could he be intimidated? But Chu Yun and Li Yuan pulled him to death, and finally Chu Yun quietly told them that he could get the black essence, and Akuta calmed down.
Chu Yun, Akuta and Li Yuan bowed their heads to Liu Gong, as if they were really afraid of Liu Gong's guards. Liu Gong saw that under their attitude of "humbly admitting their mistakes", he "generously" paid the four bags of "black charcoal" as wages to the three of them.
After listening, Qi Fan patted Chu Yun, who was drinking porridge, and said, "Yes, you kid still have this kind of ability, old fritters in the rivers and lakes?"
The teasing echoed through the room, and everyone blushed. It's not that they drink too much to get blushing, it's because they're excited.
Think about replacing these black essences tomorrow, wouldn't it make a lot of money, hehehe······
On the same day, Qi Fan and the others got up early in the morning, and they were already excited that they didn't sleep all night, rubbing the black essence over and over again.
When they sell the Black Essence, they can get very rich resources to help them cultivate. In this way, within a year or two, Qi Fan and the others will definitely be able to step into the Yang Qi Realm.
In this way, they are not worth a small guard, nor a group of craftsmen who build houses. It's a small colonel with strong strength and can guard one side.
······
When Qi Fan and the others came to the south square of the town, it happened to be the place where many strengths were transferred. Because there are too many disputes, no one can gnaw on it alone, so the trading fair was also established by the mayor of the town, that is, the primary school Ma Tiankun alone.
Later, Ma Tiankun was blackmailed by a colonel and handed over this fat industry to others. And the colonel also resigned from his official position and created the industry on his own, forming the most powerful independent force of the trading fair.
As long as you are in the trade fair, you have to listen to him.
In the trade fair, there is a lot of oil and water to be fished, so there are many powerful industries. Among them, the three top forces in the town, the Fire Thunder Sect, the Tiger Sect, and the Li Family. It has the most industries and the most powerful here. However, due to their equal power, they are not easy to offend each other, and over time, a peculiar balance has been formed.
And this trading fair is quite famous in the vicinity of 100 miles, not only the people of this town like to trade here, even some nearby bandit forces usually come here. The trading workshop will be mixed, but it has one characteristic, that is, anonymity and confidentiality.
The people who come here to trade don't know each other because they wear a kind of hat. In this way, it increases its mystery, so that bandit forces come here to trade.
When Qi Fan and the others came to the gate of the trading fair, they couldn't help but start to get excited when they looked at the group of black and oppressive people. Born into a poor family, when have you ever seen such a scene?
"It's the biggest trading fair within a hundred miles of the town, and it's terrifying. Li Yuan muttered dumbfounded.
Qi Fan looked at everyone, waved his big hand, and put on a shabby hat. "Let's go!" said Qi Fan, who was the first to enter the gate of the trading fair.
In the trade fair, the dazzling array of goods is dazzling, and the shops are not big, but the treasures in them are genuine.
Qi Fan led everyone to a clearing, and what made people wonder was that there were no shops in this place, only an iron gate leading to the underground. On each side of the iron gate stood a guard, and next to the guard, stood a plaque. "Black market".
Because there are people from all walks of life in the trading fair, and some of the things they sell come from various reasons, and some people are worried that the things they sell will cause some trouble, so some black markets are born because of this.
And the black market that Qi Fan and the others came to belonged to the trading fair, that is, the private property of the colonel. Here, no matter how unclean your stuff is, you can get rid of it smoothly, and the price is much higher than the outside. Therefore, the colonel's black market is the favorite trading place of the bandit forces.
Outside the black letterpress door, there were some people coming in and out one after another, but they were all like Qi Fan and others, all wearing hats, making it impossible to see their faces.
With a light breath in his heart, Qi Fan led everyone slowly into the letterpress door, and as he stepped into the door, a cold air swept in, making Qi Fan shiver.
Behind the letterpress door, there was a long tunnel, Qi Fan moved forward along the tunnel, and then he saw that on both sides of the tunnel, there were many closed gatehouses, Qi Fan knew that these were the places where the transaction was placed.
When I looked around, I saw the door with the sign of ore trading, and I tightened my hat and walked in.
