Chapter 79: The Underground Black Market

On the day he heard the news, Ling Youdao flew out of Cangli Island in a boat and headed towards Red Shrimp Island.

Ling Youdao set off at noon, and rushed to the Fang Market on Red Shrimp Island before the sun set.

He found an inn in the market to stay in, and decided to inquire about the news of the Shangpin Water Attribute Defense Weapon on the second day.

On the second day, I left the inn early and walked around the market, asking passers-by about the news of the water attribute magic weapon.

The so-called no wind and no waves, Ling Youdao didn't believe that the news that someone in Red Shrimp Fang City was selling high-grade water attribute magic weapons was fake.

The hard work paid off, and after a morning of inquiry, I finally learned some news.

A month ago, a ninth-level Qi cultivator took a high-grade water-attribute defensive magic weapon and sold it in the market, but he disliked that the price offered by the monks was too low, so he never sold it.

Two days ago, the man heard that this year's black market fair in Red Shrimp Fang City was about to start, so he accepted the high-grade water attribute defense magic weapon and decided to wait for the black market fair to be held to see if he could sell it at a good price at the black market fair.

Red Shrimp Island is a place where scattered cultivators gather, and the looted treasures are sold in similar markets, gradually forming a black market.

Every year, the Red Shrimp Fang City holds a black market trading conference, and not only the nearby scattered cultivators come, but also the monks of several major immortal cultivation families will also come in disguise.

Things in the black market are relatively low because they come from the wrong way.

But as long as it is a good thing, and the luck is good enough, and it is favored by several monks at the same time, the price that is sold is only high, not low, and that person just wants to try this luck and see if he can sell it for a high price, anyway, even if he can't sell it, he will not suffer.

Ling Youdao asked when the black market fair would be held, and where would it be held?

However, it is impossible for a strange monk to enter the black market without the recommendation of an acquaintance, because if an unfamiliar person enters the black market, it is very likely to bring disaster to the black market, which is not allowed by the monk who opened the black market.

As the saying goes, it's easy to do things with money.

This sentence is also applicable in the world of immortal cultivators, in order to be able to enter the black market, Ling Youdao spent a hundred lower grade spirit stones to find an old man from the Red Shrimp Fang City, and under his recommendation, Ling Youdao got the admission voucher for the black market.

In the only inn in the city, he sat on a stool in the room, next to a large round table.

The black market admission voucher is a boxy red card with golden text on it, which states the time and location of the black market fair.

Ling Youdao thought in his heart, "The ink for writing should be a special liquid, which can be regarded as an anti-counterfeiting mark for the black market opening alley." ”

Ling Youdao was slightly surprised, "Seven days later, Red Shrimp Inn, isn't this the inn where I live?"

In the next seven days, Ling Youdao often wandered around the Fang Market, although the Fang City was not big, but every time he walked around, there were new discoveries.

He could clearly feel that there were more monks in the Red Shrimp Fang City, and there were more and more people setting up stalls and entering and leaving the major shops.

Soon it was time for the black market to be held, and in a certain room of the Red Shrimp Inn, Ling Youdao took out the black robe from the storage bag and draped it over his body.

Then, he pushed open the door and walked out, down to the hall on the first floor.

From time to time, a person in a black robe walked in from outside, walked to the counter, handed the boss a red card, and the innkeeper nodded after seeing it, and motioned for the person to wait next to him.

Seeing this, Ling Youdao stepped forward and handed the red card he had obtained earlier to the innkeeper, who looked at it and pointed to the side, signaling Ling Youdao to wait with those people.

Soon, there were nine black-robed monks standing near him, and with himself, there were ten people in total.

At this time, the inn's shopkeeper came over.

"Fellow Daoists, please follow along. ”

After that, the shopkeeper walked in front to lead the way, and Ling Youdao and the others followed closely behind him.

Everyone turned left and right for a while and came to the backyard of the inn, where the shopkeeper made a trick against a wall.

In an instant, it seemed that a layer of water curtain was shattered, and there was an additional downward passage in front of everyone's eyes.

"Fellow Daoists, this is the black market down here, please feel free to do so. ”

With that, the shopkeeper turned around and left.

When Ling Youdao and a few people were still hesitating whether to go in, a few people walked in directly, and seeing this, the rest of the people also followed.

This passage is slightly diagonally downward, and the two sides of the passage are inlaid with luminous beads at intervals, illuminating the entire passage as if it were daylight.

Soon, everyone walked out of the passage, and their eyes changed instantly.

They were at the head of a brightly lit street, more than forty feet long, flanked by large and small shops, and many monks set up stalls along the street.

"I didn't expect that there was such a bustling black market hidden under the Red Shrimp Market. ”

Ling Youdao couldn't help but feel emotional.

In fact, the black market on Red Shrimp Island is open at any time, but only acquaintances can enter and exit at will, and outsiders can only be guaranteed by acquaintances, get tokens, and enter the black market with tokens, and even many people don't know that there is a black market on Red Shrimp Island.

The black market holds a trade fair every year, and it is also the easiest to enter the black market during the trade fair.

Because in the previous year, some monks had died for various reasons, and the number of monks on the black market had decreased dramatically, and a large number of replenishments were needed.

During the trade fair, it is easiest to get tokens, and Ling Youdao happened to catch up with it, so that he could enter the black market so easily.

Follow the flow of people and watch along the street.

Compared with those regular Xiuxianfang markets, there are miscellaneous things in the black market, because they come from the wrong way, and even everything is backed by blood debts, which will bring trouble to the owner, so the things in the black market are much cheaper than the things in the regular market.

Soon, he came to the square in the middle of the black market.

There are already many monks gathered here, and the square is also surrounded by stalls, and the monks in black robes are talking about the treasures on their stalls.

However, there are many people who see the fun, but there are few people who really want to buy, and even fewer who can complete the transaction.

After all, before buying something here, you need to think about whether you can withstand the trouble caused by that thing.

Ling Youdao's purpose here was to sell the top-grade water-attribute defensive magic weapon, and he walked to the side of each stall, but he couldn't find the person who sold the top-grade water-attribute magic weapon.

"No, isn't he on the black market?"

"There's going to be a trade fair on the black market next, so let's take a look at it then. ”

After a little more spinning around the square, I found a place to rest.

Half an hour later, a voice suddenly came to mind in the square: "The owner of Red Shrimp Island is thoughtful, and Senior Zhou has arrived." ”

Hearing this, there was an instant silence in the square, and the people sitting immediately got up, and the people who set up the stalls immediately stopped, all of them looked very respectful.
