Chapter 3 The Dark Market

"Stop." At the door of the warehouse on the sixth floor of the Fu Boat, two warehouse guards stopped Yi Han.

Seeing the guard in the treasury, Yi Han's heart trembled, this dark market really has the support of a sergeant. Two guards were at the door of the storehouse, and people who didn't know why thought they were doing their duty.

Facing the guards' obstruction, although Yi Han was surprised, he had no intention of leaving. In one day, he had already inquired about the rules of the dark market. Obediently took out ten spirit stones and handed them over.

"Well, I know the rules. Take it and go inside. Don't cause trouble. The guard handed over a sigil.

"Yes, I know." Yi Han took the Fu Seal and said.

This sigil is a different sigil that can obscure the monk's face from the detection of others. This is also the rule of the dark market. The dark market is risky and has many stakeholders. Word-of-mouth is a guarantee for the survival of a dark market. If the monk goes out with you, he will be killed, and who will dare to come over time. That's why the Faceless Charm came into being.

After the different face charm is used, no one knows the true face of the other party. After leaving the dark market, the different face charm was lost, so no one knew who was in whose hands there was any treasure. The safety of the monks can be guaranteed.

Although the dark market in the lucky ship is a one-shot deal, there is no need to consider credibility. However, the monks on these ships, whether they were families or casual cultivators, all went to develop the Liuyun Islands. If there are too many deaths and injuries because of killing people and grabbing treasures, it is not what the above wants to see.

All of this is what Yi Han pondered. However, he guessed that the ultimate reason was because of the Faceless Charm to make money. There are only five spirit stones in the store, and here it costs ten, which is twice as expensive, which is simply a money grab. When Yi Han walked into the warehouse, he was even more determined in this idea.

There were probably more than 800 monks in the sixth-story cabin, and there were nearly 500 of them here. A different face talisman is the income of twenty or thirty thousand spirit stones, and it really makes money. With so many monks, Yi Han didn't believe that they were all sixth-layered, and there should be monks in other cabins. But whatever, he's here to pick up leaks, and he's not causing trouble.

At this time, the trading in the dark market had already begun, and many monks either took out items and placed them on the ground for people to choose from, or began to trade privately in pairs.

A different face charm is valid for about three hours, so the time of this dark market is also about three hours. The first two hours are free exchanges, and the last hour is an auction organized by the organizers of the dark market.

Yi Han didn't have a monk he knew well, so he didn't have a suitable exchange partner. He had to go to some of the stalls to see if he could find anything good.

There are more than 100 monks who set up stalls, and everyone has a lot of things around them. Pills, talismans, magic weapons, elixirs, jade slips, etc. And the monks who set up the stalls were not so attentive. A few monks saw that there were things they needed in the stalls next to them, and they ignored the monks who asked about them, and went to trade on their own.

"It's a mess." Yi Han sighed.

But the more chaotic it is, the easier it is to find good things. As he walked between the stalls, he looked at the items in each stall and asked about the prices of some items from time to time. He asked about common things to determine what was going on in the dark market.

After some inquiry, Yi Han also knew some information about this dark market. Some of the items commonly found in the stalls are about 70% of the store. And some uncommon things or strange things depend on personal eyesight and preferences.

Yi Han saw that a more cherished second-order elixir was bought by a monk's five hundred spirit stones. Yi Han recognized the elixir, but as far as he knew, this elixir was at most two hundred spirit stones. However, the monk just now was obviously in poor health and continued to buy this elixir, so he bought it with a huge amount of money. It's hard to say if it's worth it or not.

However, in addition to the much-needed monks who will make the stall owners make a lot of money, they think that the unjust head is the type that the stall owners like. The egg of a third-order spirit beast, the Fire Snake, was sold for a thousand spirit stones.

A thousand spirit stones for a live fire snake egg are not expensive. But the snake egg is already a dead egg, and at most it is used as an adjuvant for alchemy, and the price is worth one or two.

While walking, Yi Han also bought some small things from time to time. They are all ordinary items, and Yi Han mainly looks at them cheaply. It is not easy to build a spirit island, even the smallest spirit island, and it should be saved when it should be saved.

However, seeing that the stall was halfway through, Yi Han didn't pick up a single leak. Discouraged him a little. These stall owners don't have fuel-efficient lamps, and even items they don't know don't sell at low prices.

In front of another stall, Yi Han's eyes froze, and finally let him meet something good.

It was an arm-thick object like dead wood, and it looked like a lifeless elixir. However, Yi Han occasionally learned from a jade slip that this item was not a plant, but a mineral. This is a spiritual material called Deadwood Stone, which can be refined into a spiritual material for magic weapons.

"What is this thing?" Yi Han stepped forward and asked.

"Oh, this. Second-order elixir withered hand vine. Do you want? The stall owner replied.

"Second-order elixir? That must not be cheap, right? Yi Han's tone was a little hesitant, but he was happy in his heart.

Sure enough, Deadwood Stone is often mistaken for a withered vine that resembles it. There is not much difference in appearance between the two, but the difference is very large. One is a spiritual material and the other is a spiritual plant. One is of the third order and the other is only of the second order.

"It's not expensive, ordinary second-order elixirs cost two or three hundred spirit stones, but you are lucky, I urgently need spirit stones, you can take one hundred and eighty spirit stones." The stall owner said.

"One hundred and eighteen? But I don't have enough spirit stones. Yi Han had a heartfelt and helpless expression.

"There are no more than a hundred spirit stones? How many are you down? The stall owner's tone was a little sarcastic.

"One hundred, one hundred and fifteen." Yi Han only covered the storage bag on his waist and replied.

"You're lucky today, one hundred and fifty spirit stones are yours." The stall owner said cheerfully.

Not to mention the dead wood stone, it is easy to sell two or three hundred spirit stones for the dry hand vine. However, the stall owner could not detect a trace of life in the withered hand vine, and he mistook it for a dead spirit plant. If this is the case, the value will be greatly reduced, and no one will be interested. And now that he finally met Yi Han, a rookie, of course he urgently needs to make a move

"Really?" Yi Han was a little unconvinced.

"Of course." The stall owner affirmed.

"Alright then, thanks." Yi Han took out the spirit stone with a grateful face.

……

A piece of third-order spiritual material worth thousands was taken by Yi Han at a price of about one percent, which was also a small gain, and he was very satisfied in his heart. This leak also piqued his interest, and he continued to wander.

Not to mention, the first half of the stalls were cold and did not harvest. The second half of the stalls encountered a lot of good things. Four or five items were harvested piecemeal. The total cost of these items was less than five hundred spirit stones, but the actual value was more than three thousand.

When Yi Han took another item from the last stall, the free trading time was over. The auction is about to begin.
