Chapter 69: Tianwu Ghost City
The world of Zhuxian is a world where the development of the Immortal Dao is very imperfect, especially the alchemy that is the first of the hundred arts.
There are only a few healing pills in the two realms of righteousness and demons, and as for the pills that assist in cultivation and enhance mana, they may only be barely counted as the elixir in the Heavenly Emperor's treasury.
And what Zhao Kong is not good at is alchemy.
Although he now has a lot of points, he can buy pills from the Ten Thousand Worlds Mall when he goes to the Zhuxian World.
But his crossing this time is obviously not a matter of ten or eight years.
For decades or even hundreds of years, if he had been buying pills in the Ten Thousand Realms Mall, such an almost bottomless consumption, Zhao Kong would not be able to bear even if he had more points.
Of course, it would be even more unreliable to let him improve his alchemy by himself, just with Zhao Kong's faint sense of alchemy, the success rate of alchemy was destined to be miserable.
Although he went to the Zhuxian World, he could cultivate a special alchemist just like he had cultivated Huang Yaoshi.
But no matter how good the opponent's alchemy talent is, if he wants to refine a second-order late or even third-order pill, it is not something that can be done in ten or eight years.
"By the way, there are demon pets who can do alchemy in the Wanjie Mall, although the price is ridiculously high among the same level of goods, but it is more cost-effective than buying pills for a long time."
"However, those demon pets are not the alchemy of the Shenzhou realm, many of the unique pill recipes and alchemy techniques of the Shenzhou realm, and the demon pets that they bought will definitely not, so they have to prepare one."
"Forget it, forget it, let's take a little risk for the time being, sell the elixir that Ying Yangjun got there, plus those few high-grade spirit stones, because I should be able to do most of the preparations."
Zhao Kong thought about it for a while, and finally decided to go to the ghost market in the city to trade.
He did know a little about the ghost market in Tianwu City, because the Xuanling Fruit that the original owner of the body got was obtained by trading with others in the ghost market.
Therefore, places like ghost markets are mixed, and most of the sources of items are not clean, whether it is a big profit or being killed by someone, there is no way to investigate it afterwards.
Moreover, the real manager behind the ghost market in the entire six counties of Yangzhou is the Jiangnan Xiao family, one of the eight great families in the world.
It is precisely because of this background that the ghost market has this background, even if the money building and the local government hate the ghost market so much, they can only let the ghost market continue to exist.
In the middle of the moon, Zhao Kong changed into a set of thick black clothes, put on a black iron mask, and came to a restaurant not far from the ghost market in the west of the city.
Because Zhao Kong had been here once, there was a black pass token, and the restaurant guy took it and took him into the ghost market.
Although this ghost city is in Tianwu City, it is not on the ground, but hidden deep underground.
It can also be regarded as Jiangnan Xiao's giving face to local governments and minimizing the impact of ghost markets on various cities.
"Guest, please follow me!"
Coming to a big stone gate, the guy said to Zhao Kong expressionlessly.
Zhao Kong nodded without saying a word, and followed closely behind the middle-aged man dressed up in this hotel guy, but in fact, he was a middle-aged man who was a late-stage congenital martial artist.
Not long after entering the stone gate, a narrow stone staircase that spreads downwards appears.
After descending the stone stairs for a few minutes, Zhao Kong was led through several tunnels again.
It took him nearly a quarter of an hour to walk all the way before he was taken to a huge underground space.
This space is about 100 acres of land, and the interior is slightly dimly lit.
Everywhere there were masked pedestrians and stall owners who had wrapped themselves more tightly.
The man sent him here, and he was ready to turn around and return to the surface.
Before leaving, Zhao Kong stuffed him with a low-grade spirit stone according to the rules.
Although not everyone will give, there is no need to save this small amount of money.
Seeing the spirit stone handed over by Zhao Kong, this guy with a dead face all the way finally showed a little smile.
"Thank you, officer, it's best not to go to those stalls selling strange things in the east."
After saying that, the guy turned around and followed the passage out of the underground space.
Zhao Kong didn't come to the black market to pick up a bargain, so he walked directly to the place where he received the goods.
However, when passing by a large stall, Zhao Kong suddenly stopped.
It's not that he found any treasures, but the stall owner of this stall, selling some pills.
Even on his stall, there were dozens of first-order pill pills, and Zhao Kong estimated that the other party should be an alchemist.
"Do you accept the elixir?"
Zhao Kong suppressed his voice and said to the stall owner wearing a fox mask in front of him.
The distance between these stalls is basically more than 10 meters apart.
In addition, there are people coming and going in the ghost market, even if no one shouts, the noise is not much smaller.
Moreover, there are strict rules in the ghost market, it is strictly forbidden for spiritual power to leave the body more than one foot, and those who violate it will be immediately discovered by the detection circle, and the consequences will be absolutely miserable.
Therefore, Zhao Kong simply did not transmit the sound to ask, so as not to make the other party feel that he was weak and suspected the source of the elixir, but it was prone to accidents.
"Collect elixir, but only barter."
Although the other party also deliberately suppressed his voice, Zhao Kong could hear that it should be a young woman.
"Do you have a Zhuangqi Pill, a Condensing Heart Pill, or a Pure Hua Pill...... The Dan Fang? ”
Zhao Kong reported more than ten kinds of pills in a row, and more than half of them were third-order pills, which made the stall owners in the fox mask stunned for a moment.
Although a direct showdown is not conducive to bargaining, Zhao Kong did not want to take advantage of the other party.
As long as the other party has these Dan Fang, the quotation is also in line with the market, and it really doesn't matter if there are more or less.
"I have the Heart Condensing Pill and the Fixing Spirit Pill here...... of Danfang. ”
The stall owner wearing the fox mask didn't seem to be a person who often messed with the city, and directly reported the nine kinds of pills to Zhao Kong.
Although the other party's Danfang lacked a few kinds, the risk of bartering for Zhao Kong was far less than that of selling to a professional recipient.
After all, now that Chen Ke is still in Tianwu City, who knows if he will not be reluctant and let people secretly pay attention to the situation of the elixir trade in the city.
Although the transactions in the ghost market are secretive, the professional receivers are obvious, and their work ethic is not trustworthy.
Therefore, bartering with an alchemist is relatively much safer.
No matter how great Chen Ke's energy is, it is impossible to explore all the stall owners in the entire ghost market.
Moreover, the other party took it back and refined it into a finished pill, so naturally there were no hidden dangers.
"Nine kinds of pills are also fine, I will take Qixia lotus leaves, three-color blood spring fruits, and five-hundred-year-old Longyan grass...... How about exchanging with you? ”
Zhao Kong successively reported the names of thirteen elixirs, which had the main materials for refining second-order pills and the main materials for refining third-order pills, and their value was about the same as that of the nine kinds of pills.
Among them, there were four third-order elixirs, which were storage bags from the Marquis of the Eagle Yang Army.
Two third-order elixirs and seven second-order elixirs were brought back from the Condor World.
These elixirs are mixed together, and the elixirs of the four eagle Yangjun are not particularly conspicuous.
The stall owner of the fox mask thought for a while, and finally nodded and agreed, without bargaining.
Take out a jade slip from the storage bag, first print the Danfang of the Heart Meditation Pill, and hand it to Zhao Kong, who took out the Qixia Lotus Leaf.
The two traded back and forth nine times, appraising each other's items.
The stall owner of the fox mask is an alchemist himself, so he can naturally distinguish between good and bad elixirs.
And Zhao Kong got a Danfang and uploaded it to the Wanjie Mall once.
From the number of points given by Wanjie Mall, you can roughly judge whether there is a problem with Danfang.
By the time the last deal was completed, both sides were relieved.
Zhao Kong smiled and said to the fox mask stall owner: "It's rare to encounter such a simple deal, let's see you next time." ”
"Well, see you next time!"
The fox mask stall owner nodded slightly perfunctorily and began to clean up the stall.
The elixir traded by the two was exchanged for spirit stones, and there must be at least more than twenty high-grade spirit stones.
Although the safety of Xiao's ghost market is guaranteed, the stall owner is still ready to leave early.
However, Zhao Kong still had a lot of things to buy, and continued to wander around the ghost market.
