The entire underground black market is very prosperous, and the liveliness is not lost to the large formal stores under the royal family.

Unlike the Starlight Auction House or the Treasure Cabinet in Shrek City, which is an official intermediary, this is all about direct transactions between buyers and sellers.

Buyers and sellers sit on the ground one by one, or stand there, writing down what they want to buy or sell, and quietly waiting for others to come up and ask for a price.

Those who don't set up stalls just wander slowly in the black market, looking for possible buyers and sellers.

Soul guides, elixirs, rare metals, and even soul bones...... The variety of items you can buy here is not inferior to that of the big stores, and the prices are the same.

The extremely spacious underground space is not properly planned at all, but it is up to everyone to set up their stalls, which makes it look chaotic and crowded.

There are also some stalls that will be a little more formal, neatly arranging the goods, and handing over the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other. The owners of these stalls are all strong and manpowered, and they dare to do this, obviously not afraid of others robbing them.

"It's a mess." Huo Yuhao walked in the narrow aisle, secretly saying in his heart.

The first impression of this underground black market is terrible, there are soul lights, but the light is not bright.

It stands to reason that it doesn't take too much technology to use the soul guide light to decorate such a large underground venue extremely brightly, but the Xishui Alliance didn't do that.

It seems that the organizers are disgusted with bright environments and deliberately do so.

Not far away is a formal stall that has just completed a transaction.

A middle-aged man lowered his voice and asked the bearded stall owner, "Why has the price of Mithril gone up again?" ”

The bearded stall owner snorted: "Rare metals have been under control, and recently there has been news from above that the royal family is going to increase control efforts. If you want to buy it early, I think the price of these rare metals will rise wildly after that. ”

The middle-aged man let out a helpless sigh, but still took out the soul guide card and swiped it for the stall owner before changing it back to a small and delicate box.

There is only a small piece of Mithril in the box, which will not exceed a hundred grams at most.

He quickly put the box into the storage ring and quickly left the underground black market.

Huo Yuhao used his spiritual detection to witness the complete transaction process between the middle-aged man and the bearded stall owner, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It's a black market, and the prices here are insane.

He had looked at some of Mingdetang's accounts, and on Mingdetang's accounts, the price of a hundred grams of Mithril only fluctuated back and forth around four hundred to five hundred gold soul coins.

And on this black market, the price paid by the middle-aged man just now even exceeded five times the official guide price of Mingdetang.

He should be a free man soul master, otherwise he wouldn't have paid such a high premium to take that piece of Mithril.

】

It seemed easier for him to get so much Mithril on the black market than it was through regular channels.

Huo Yuhao sighed again.

The quota of rare metals that Mingdetang gives a student to use every month contains 100 grams of Mithril, which is really willing to spend money on students.

However, only Mingdetang can be so wealthy, and other forces can't learn it, because most of the rare metal industry is firmly in the hands of the Sun and Moon royal family, and the royal family will directly supply rare metals to Mingdetang at a low price.

In the transaction between the two just now, Huo Yuhao also captured an important information.

The Sun and Moon royal family wanted to increase the control of rare metals, which led to the price of rare metals rising.

Why are they going to do more control? Maybe it's really preparing for war in advance.

In addition to the case of handing over money and delivering goods in the other, there is a second mode of trading.

Huo Yuhao raised his eyes and looked to the other side, where two empty-handed people were talking.

The owner of the stall was a middle-aged man who was a little chubby, and the buyer who asked turned out to be a teenager with an extremely jerky appearance.

The boy should not be more than fifteen years old, but he was already wearing a second-level soul master badge on his chest.

At this moment, he was asking the stall owner with a uncertain expression: "Uncle, if we go outside to trade, can you really give me a hundred gold soul coins cheaper?" ”

The middle-aged stall owner said in an extremely sincere voice: "Of course, we scattered people are trading here, and we have to hand over thirty percent of the income to the Xishui Alliance, if you go outside the black market with me, I will definitely count you cheaper." ”

The boy fell into hesitation, learning to engrave a soul guide requires a large amount of rare metals, and he plans to buy some rare metals on the black market privately, and then make a soul guide to sell to make some extra money.

As a young soul master, he is not rich yet, if he can save a hundred gold soul coins, he can buy some more rare metals.

The stall owner's expression was sincere, but a touch of greed in his eyes betrayed him.

Moreover, only the top layer of the box containing rare metals in his hand was pure gold, and the bottom was all extremely cheap rough cold iron.

Huo Yuhao shook his head helplessly.

The stall owner obviously saw that this young man was ignorant of the world, and after deceiving him, he hacked his golden soul coins.

He didn't dare to cheat in the black market, I'm afraid that because this black market is the territory of the Xishui League, he still has to abide by the rules, and when he gets outside, he will leave directly after cheating, and the young man can't catch him if he wants to.

Even the students' money is cheated, and this stall owner is somewhat lacking in morality.

Not only the stall owner, but the other stall owners around were all watching with a sneering look, as if they were all waiting to see the boy take the bait.

"Let's remind him." Huo Yuhao quietly began to display his mental agility and spiritual illusion.

After much hesitation, the boy agreed to the stall owner's request.

"Okay, uncle, let's go trade outside the black market."

The stall owner was immediately overjoyed, and while leading the young man out, he said enthusiastically: "Seeing that you are a second-level soul master at such a young age, you should be a student of Mingdu Academy or Sun Moon Academy, right?" Uncle, I'll make you cheaper today, hehe. ”

The two left the black market all the way to a three-story building, paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other.

The chubby stall owner pretended to say: "Hehe, young people like you still don't come to the black market very often, fortunately I met my uncle, otherwise you wouldn't know if you were deceived." In the future, if you need rare metals, you still need to apply to the academy. ”

"Okay, thank you, uncle." The boy was still unaware and said gratefully.

"Great, the quota of Adamantite given by the Academy has been used up, and with this Adamantite, my research can continue for a long time."

The boy looked excited, and was about to put the box containing the pure gold into the storage ring, when suddenly his hand slipped and the box fell to the ground.

The metal inside rolled out, and underneath a layer of pure gold was a black-gray rough iron.

The boy shrank back and picked up the rough iron on the ground, only then did he realize that he had been deceived, and hurriedly went back to the black market to find the chubby stall owner again, only to find that the other party's stall had long disappeared and was replaced by someone else.

The liar had long since disappeared, leaving only a frustrated teenager to regret it on the spot.

"This ......"

……

The boy's eyes suddenly lost focus, and after a few seconds, his gaze refocused.

After a brief pause, he suddenly slapped off the box in the stall owner's hand, revealing the rough iron inside, and asked, "What is this!" ”

Before the stall owner could reply, he dropped the phrase "I won't buy it" and ran towards the black market exit.

"This ......" The smile on the stall owner's face froze, and he didn't know why the young man who was about to take the bait suddenly changed his mind and let the hundreds of gold soul coins he had immediately received disappear.

Huo Yuhao smiled with relief on the side.

This is his attempt to construct illusions for other people, through the three major spiritual influence soul techniques, mainly spiritual sensitivity and spiritual illusions, so that others can spend a period of time in a few seconds.

Just now, he let the boy experience an unforgettable lesson in his life, eat a trench and grow wise, I believe that he will not be so easily deceived in the future.

Performing the two sustained soul skills of Psychic Agility and Psychic Illusion at the same time consumes a lot of soul power, but the effect is unexpectedly good.

Huo Yuhao found that many of his soul skills were continuously expendable, such as spiritual detection, spiritual sharing, spiritual suggestion, etc.

When using these skills alone, the consumption of soul power is negligible, but at the same time, it is also a consumption that cannot be ignored when used at a high intensity.

"Huh?"

Huo Yuhao was suddenly stunned, and turned his head to look in one direction.

At the end of that black market, there was a familiar aura of evil soul masters.

Huo Yuhao's face turned cold, and he slowly walked over there.
