295 Demon Capital, Black Market

The so-called demon capital is just another name for this immortal cultivation city by others, and its real name is 'Luanluo City,'.

That is, the city where Qingluan inhabits, meaning auspicious.

In the center of the city are two side-by-side trees, which are outrageously large and indescribable. The trunks of the trees towered into the sky, and the branches of the trees covered the sky and the sun, hanging over the city.

Chen Ping stood in front of Luanluo City, and just by looking at it, he felt shocked.

With the monks coming in and out, they entered the city without any credentials, and the most intuitive feeling was that there were many trees in the entire Immortal Cultivation City, and the vision of walking in the city was very limited.

Some houses are even built on large trees.

Among the monks who came and went in the city, most of the demon cultivators had the same appearance and clothing as human monks.

I can't tell whether they are demons or humans.

There are only a very small number of demons who indulge themselves to reveal the characteristics of the demon clan, such as a fluffy claw, a pair of pink ears, and a pair of big blue eyes.

Chen Ping asked someone for a little inquiry and found a good inn.

When I checked in, I inquired about the situation here intentionally or unintentionally.

Luanluo City is completely different from other immortal cultivation cities, Luanluo City is not strictly speaking a Xiuxian city, but the capital of the Demon Dynasty.

The whole city is divided into four areas: the palace city, the imperial city, the inner city, and the outer city.

The first three cities have strict qualifications for entering the city, and they have formations to protect each other, and they can't enter at all if they don't have a specific identity.

There are no status restrictions in the outer cities.

That is, the area where Chen Ping is currently located.

"In fact, the outer city is the most extensive and has the most immortals, and the most inclusive area is also the outer city. What the immortal master wants to find, this outer city may have it. Countless immortal masters have come from far and wide, and they have all found their own opportunities in this outer city." The shopkeeper is well-informed, and after receiving a tip of more than a dozen taels of gold from Chen Ping, he has to answer all questions.

Chen Ping continued to ask:

"Is there a bidding party in this Luanluo City?"

Shop two introduction:

"Yes. Every once in a while, there will be an auction. Because the mixing of all kinds of immortal masters and mortals in Luanluo City is relatively serious, there are all kinds of strange treasures at the auction. If the immortal master is interested, he can go to the auction house in the center of the outer city and inquire about it."

"If the immortal master needs to find some ordinary treasures, there may be one in the market or shop."

After a pause, the shopkeeper whispered again:

"Have you heard of the black market?"

Black market?

Chen Ping has been cultivating immortals for so long, and he has only seen the Zhengzheng Fang Market, but he has never seen the so-called black market.

This is the national capital, and there can still be a black market?

Seeing that Chen Ping didn't answer, the shopkeeper looked forward to Gu and whispered:

"Out of Luanluo City to the east, about 50 miles away, there is a place by the sea. There is the famous black market in the demon capital. What is allowed to be sold and what is not allowed to be sold in this Luanluo City, there are all there..."

Got it.

It's a place outside the law.

Chen Ping knew that on the surface, it was a place outside the law, and it was not allowed by the ruling class in the palace, but in fact, most of the people standing behind it were the people in the palace.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to open in the demon capital.

Chen Ping took the opportunity to ask for some more information.

At the end, I asked for a map of the outer city of Luanluo.

There are no maps for the three cities inside.

"How can I get into the three inner cities?" Chen Ping put down the map.

The shopkeeper bowed and said:

"The palace city and the imperial city can only be entered by the royal relatives or high-ranking officials and nobles, and the specifics of the small ones are not clear. But this inner city can also be entered, but you have to go to the city defense to do a detailed registration, and only if it has been assessed that it is harmless to the inner city and there is a clear reason, you can let it go."

Chen Ping nodded and asked again:

"If you want to contact the people of the Imperial City, how can you send the news in?"

He's not going to do something shady

, so it doesn't hurt to ask directly, no need to be subtle.

"Well, the little ones aren't clear." The shopkeeper said helplessly.

Chen Ping couldn't ask about the confidence he wanted to know, so he didn't ask again. After all, the status of the shopkeeper is still a little lower, and he doesn't necessarily know this.

After the shopkeeper left, Chen Ping arranged a psychedelic array in the guest room, and made early warning arrangements everywhere.

Then meditate and practice the exercises in order to recover physical and spiritual strength as soon as possible, and get rid of the wind and dust all over the body.

Evening.

Chen Ping originally thought that he would rest for a day first, and the future would be long, and he would talk about other things tomorrow.

But I didn't figure out the situation of the demon capital.,I always feel insecure.,There's a feeling of restlessness.。

After all, it's not just humans here.

There are also demons.

So I went out and walked along the outer city according to the information marked on the map. Learn about the topography, layout, and location of various shops in Luanluo Castle.

By the way, I stopped at some restaurants, vulgar places, and markets, and inquired about the humanities of the demon capital from small talk.

Because it is the national capital, there are countless powerful people living in it, so the management of this entire demon capital is still very perfect.

It is common for city guards to patrol the streets.

Although the human race and the demon race are mixed, there are very few cases of scattered cultivators making trouble and robbing the road, and even fewer cases of mortals having disputes.

And because the mixed living situation has lasted for hundreds of years, it is not bad to be inclusive, and there is basically no 'Black Lives Matter, situation) here.

Even the goods sold in the market are divided into specific 'tofu blocks,'.

After all, it's the national capital, and the security is still very good. ,

After a trip to understand, Chen Ping was relieved.

That instinctive fear of the unknown is reduced.

When I returned to the inn in the evening, I specially came to a hot water medicated bath served by a demon maid with a tail.

Of course, this is mainly to fully experience the local customs and exotic customs, so as to better integrate into the local area and have a deep understanding of the demon clan.

It doesn't matter with anything else.

......

"Fellow Daoist, please take a look at what you need?"

On the second day, Chen Ping followed the map and found an authoritative register shop. When the shopkeeper saw Chen Ping come in, he immediately greeted him.

Chen Ping looked at the store:

"Is there a brochure about the spells on sale?"

"Yes, fellow Daoist, wait." The shopkeeper quickly beckoned Xiao Er to bring a booklet.

It's all about some of the spells on sale.

Most of them are spells in the Qi cultivation period, which is similar to other immortal cultivation cities, and there is nothing special about them.

There are only a few basic spells in the foundation period.

Chen Ping asked bluntly:

"Is there a god-refining spell here?"

"That fellow Daoist is in the wrong place." The shopkeeper smiled and said:

"The alchemy spell is a late-stage foundation building spell, how can it be sold openly in the store? If you want to buy it, you can go to Changhong, the auction house, and some alchemy will be released from time to time in the palace. Fellow Daoists can try their luck there."

Chen Ping saw that the shopkeeper was also a foundation, so he asked more:

"Does the shopkeeper have some summary booklets for alchemy?"

"Well, not really. However, this shopkeeper also knows a thing or two about alchemy, so I can say that I can listen to it with my fellow Daoists..."

... This shopkeeper is good.

Normally, even if the shopkeeper does not appear impatient when he does not buy his things, he will rarely be so enthusiastic about other information, let alone take the initiative to inform other ways to buy.

Shouldn't it be persuasion to buy some more things from the store?

There are still a lot of good people (demons).

Just when Chen Ping was so emotional, the shopkeeper smiled and said:

"When Daoyou went to Changhong Auction House to register, it can be said that it was recommended by my Longji firm, and the bidding fee was reduced to a certain extent.

If the auction is successful, all products of the firm will be reduced by one layer of the total fee."

Boy.

It turns out that the interests are closely related.

No wonder they are so enthusiastic and inseparable from business.

Chen Ping said indifferently:

"I do need to go to an auction house. Don't give me a discount on the books in your store, how about I ask you about something?"

"Fellow Daoists, please speak." The shopkeeper agreed.

"How can I enter the Imperial City openly? Or send a message in." Chen Ping inquired.

deliberately said a word of fairness, so as not to be misunderstood as wanting to sneak in and be detrimental to the dignitaries and nobles in the imperial city, which might bring unnecessary trouble.

Who knows if there will be an inner city backstage behind these shops?

Seeing that the shopkeeper was silent with a smile, Chen Ping added:

"Rest assured, this auction will be conducted in the way recommended by your store. And, as long as the price isn't too outrageous, I'll probably take pictures of individual goods."

"Okay, I believe in Daoyou, and Daoyou is a credible person when you look at your face." The shopkeeper led Chen Ping into his seat, and ordered the servant to get tea, and then said:

"If you want to enter the Imperial City, unless someone from the Imperial City is accompanying you, or if you go to the east of the city to reveal a certain reward order of the Imperial City, you can naturally enter after completing the bounty task and reporting to the city defense. Otherwise, it will not be easy for Daoists to become casual cultivators."

"Of course, it's not easy, it's not impossible. Daoists can also go to the black market, where naturally some people dare to take such a job. As for bringing a word, that's even more so. If you only need to bring a message into the inner city, I can do it."

Bounty order?

This word is not a good word when Chen Ping hears it.

Isn't that what it means to be a bounty hunter?

Can this go?

This can't.

Even the official forces in the imperial city may not be able to solve the troublesome things, so they will post a reward order, which is what I can do.

As for the black market......

Seems more doable.

"What they want is to be above board, not to do evil, their way to the black market... Is it serious?" Chen Ping smiled.

"Daoist friends laughed, although it is a black market, it is also credible." The shopkeeper straightened up.

Chen Ping continued to inquire about the situation of the black market from the shopkeeper, and wrote down where he could bring people to talk, where to buy information, and where to bring people into the imperial city.

Then leave.

The shopkeeper was worried that Chen Ping would not be able to find his way when he first arrived, so he arranged for a small servant to send Chen Ping to the auction house.

Chen Ping knew that the shopkeeper wanted to make sure that he really signed up for the auction in the way recommended by their store, but he didn't expose him. See through it, don't say it.

There happened to be someone leading the way, which was good.

The auction house here has an auction every other month, the most recent being seven days later.

Chen Ping spent 5 medium-grade spirit stones and asked for a high-grade private room.

After returning to the inn, he continued to cultivate.

In the past seven days, Chen Ping has not been idle, continued to go in and out of various places, and finally heard a little information about Bailiye in a green building.

Bailiye has a noble status, is a person in Miyagi, and is one of the many princes, but he is just a concubine.

There is not much other information, but judging from the limited information, Bailiye's word-of-mouth reputation is not bad, and he is a righteous demon.

It is basically consistent with the Bailiye that Chen Ping met in Falling Moon City.

Chen Ping continued to inquire about the situation of Bailiye on other occasions such as Fang City, and confirmed that he was indeed a good person, so he completely relieved himself.

When they were in Falling Moon City, the relationship between the two at that time was cooperation, and there were entanglements of interests in the middle, and their personal personalities could be disguised. But where a person lives for a long time, the evaluation of this person by others is basically true and credible.

If you find out today that Bailiye is a prince who is unreasonable, rebellious, and has no reputation. Then Chen Ping would definitely give up looking for Bailiye to obtain alchemy.

This is Bailiye's territory, Chen Ping

Coming here alone is actually quite risky. The credibility of the person Harino must be confirmed.

Otherwise, he would rather not show up.

The good thing is that the results are good.

Seven days flew by.

Chen Ping went to the auction house early that day and waited in his private room.

The auction rules here are similar to those of Tianyan City, but because the auction is held more frequently, there are fewer treasures.

One-day schedule only.

At noon, Chen Ping finally waited for the alchemy technique he was concerned about.

"Fellow Daoists, this jade slip is the 'Mixed Yuan Alchemy Technique' that Miyagi specially released to you, and it is also the most widely spread alchemy technique in my Demon Domain... As you all know, if the spirit is strong, it will be easy to form a Dan, and if the state of mind is real, the strength will be high..." The auctioneer is introduced.

But the truth is that this kind of alchemy will release one or two pieces every month, so the competition is not too big.

After a period of bidding, Chen Ping auctioned it at the price of 480 medium-grade spirit stones.

This alchemy is only used as a guarantee.

According to what Bairiye said when he was in Falling Moon City before, Bairino still has a better alchemy in his hands.

If you can cultivate better, then of course you will prefer a better one.

Chen Ping came out of the auction house, did not return to the inn, but went out of the city, according to the route given on the map, and rushed east.

Soon it was the black market fifty miles away.

The black market is built on a cliff along the coast, with various stilted houses stretching for miles on either side.

The black market has the rules of the black market.

Chen Ping fastened his mask at the entrance according to the regulations, and then entered the smoky black market. The roads in the black market are narrow, the air is very humid, and the smell of sea water is tinged with it. Many shops have empty doors, and the lights inside are not lit, and it is dark and not slippery.

With a terrifying atmosphere.

On either side of the narrow road, masked monks sat on the ground, ignoring the damp dirt on the ground, with one or two unnamed objects in front of them.

When you see someone passing by, you grin.

The whole black market looks very creepy.

Chen Ping walked his own way silently, and the stall owner who met the soliciting only nodded slightly and left.

At last he stopped in front of a shop with a wooden door, and when he knocked on the door, he was nowhere to be seen, only an old voice:

"Please come in!"

Chen Ping took a breath, calmly walked into the store, and saw an old man sitting in the corner of the store in the dim light projected from outside.

"What do you want to buy? Pick by the way." The old man raised his head slightly, and then buried himself in his work again.

Chen Ping said in a deep voice:

"I want to ask the shopkeeper to bring a message to a prince in Miyagi."

After thinking about it for a while, he decided that it was better not to venture into the inner three cities. Just send a message and let Bairiye come out by himself.

"Oh?" The old man suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed a mosquito flying in the air, threw it into his mouth and chewed it, and then turned his head to look at Chen Ping:

"Tell me about it."

The corners of Chen Ping's mouth couldn't help but tremble. But after thinking about it, this is a demon domain, and it is normal for some demons who like to eat mosquitoes to appear.

He said expressionlessly:

"Bring it to Bailiye, and say that an old friend from the Western Wilderness is here and lives in the Xianmen Inn."

"That's it?" The old man paused.

"That's it."

"Hmm. 20 medium-grade spirit stones." The old man continued to chew, green juice flowing from the corners of his mouth.

"Deal."

Chen Ping took out the money, paid, and left, all in one go. Then calmly leave.

Special mother's.

It's a long experience.
