There was a moment of silence in the room.

Then, someone said, "Can I take a look at your sword?"

The man who said that he wanted to sell the coral iron sword did not hesitate at all, and when he heard the promise, he bent down to unhook the hook and brought a sheathed sword to the table, and then he drew the sword out of the sheath and said: "The scabbard is a random match of mine, but the size is right, and it doesn't cost a lot of money." ”

The sword body is unsheathed, and there is a cold atmosphere.

Zhou Ang paid close attention within the "field of vision", but after all, he didn't look at it face-to-face, but according to the surrounding environment and people, he roughly felt that the sword should be about ten centimeters shorter than the standard long sword of the Yamen, the sword body was narrower, and it was also a lot thinner, the overall color was black, and there was a dark red faint in the black, and it seemed that there were some faint patterns on the sword body.

This is in a dim candlelight, and if it is in the sun, the color will be brighter.

But what he can see is these superficial things, in fact, he doesn't know about coral iron, he hasn't even heard of it before, just by looking at it, he naturally can't tell the good from the bad or the real from the fake.

At this time, the person who was going to sell the sword held the sword body with three fingers in one hand and said, "Whoever wants to see it, take it!"

Without waiting for others to greet him, his own servant came over with a tray, the man put the sword on it, and the servant walked around with the sword, as long as someone beckoned, he stopped for people to watch, and even took the sword into his hand to rub and play, Zhou Ang noticed that Lu Tao also looked at it carefully, but did not take it down to look at it carefully.

It wasn't until he turned around that the servant returned the sword to his master.

At this time, someone finally said: "It's the best coral iron, I wanted to get a good weapon recently, but you sold it too expensive." I'll ask for four hundred taels. ”

The owner of the sword shook his head, "Four hundred taels is too cheap, don't sell it." Coral iron is already rare, and it is even rarer to be refined into shapes and cast into iron swords by skilled craftsmen like this, and it will not be sold for less than seven hundred taels. ”

So the man shut up.

However, from this, Zhou Ang still knew that in this obviously underground small trade fair, not only can everyone bid to buy items, but also can bargain.

At this time, seeing that no one was inquiring again, the "big man" sitting at the top suddenly spoke: "The Coral Iron Sword is indeed a good thing, especially suitable for dealing with some monsters with rough skin and thick flesh, or strong armor to defend themselves, but it is only mortal iron, and it can't deal with spells and demons...... I'll give you five hundred taels!"

The man hesitated when he heard this, but still shook his head, but he began to close the sword and return it to the sheath, and said, "Forget it, I might as well continue to use it myself." But in the last month or two, I shouldn't go anywhere else, and this sword shouldn't be sold, so if someone wants to buy it in the last two months, I can sell it at any time!"

As "Mr. Big" nodded in acquiescence, and no one bid again, Zhou Ang was a little surprised that such a transaction of a coral iron sword, which was recognized by everyone as a sharp weapon, was actually aborted.

However, after a while, Zhou Ang gradually realized that although cultivators were also more willing to use weapons with higher strength and sharpness, the pursuit of this "mortal iron" level weapon, or the reliance on it during battle, was far inferior to that of ordinary martial arts practitioners.

The reason is very simple, the enemy of a cultivator is either a monster or a cultivator. Of course, the monsters also have the characteristics of rough skin and thick flesh, but what they are better at and what makes cultivators more headache is undoubtedly all kinds of demonic arts, and their almost inexhaustible aura.

Of course, cultivators also have their own ways of refining their bodies, and they all practice martial arts, and even rely on the assistance of aura, and they are stronger than ordinary martial artists in martial arts, I don't know how much, but the battle between cultivators is still spells and aura.

Therefore, for cultivators, a sharp weapon like the Coral Iron Sword is not useless, nor is it unwanted, but it is more or less chicken - obviously they are not like themselves, they can enter the demon realm at any time, and there are hordes of monsters to kill!

Regarding this point, just looking at the fact that the yamen of various official cultivators still buy and sell demon corpses from time to time in order to pass the assessment of political performance, and at the trade fair between those who should be called underground cultivators, everyone also asks to buy demon corpses but cannot get them, you can clearly understand.

Seeing this "trade fair", Zhou Ang was already more and more excited - like now, if he was on the scene, Zhou Ang was sure that he would not hesitate to speak. Of course, it's better to be able to make a price, but it's really not good, and it's not unacceptable to buy such a coral iron sword with iron like clay for seven hundred taels.

Maybe for other cultivators, this sword is only much better than an ordinary sword when they buy it, but for themselves, as long as they get it, they can completely melt the demon yuan of the roe demon that they hunted in the demon realm last time, and when the time comes, they can not only make this coral iron sword harder and sharper, but also harvest a magic weapon—this is probably something that ordinary cultivators can't even think of.

............

This small trade fair should have been formed for a while, Zhou Ang secretly observed that now, and found that although they are all secretive about their identities and appearances, they have covered themselves with masks, hoods, cloaks, etc., but in fact, they have formed a quite tacit understanding with each other, so the transaction is quite smooth.

A coral iron sword transaction was aborted, and everyone was just silent for a moment, and then someone spoke again, saying that they wanted to sell their "Guiyuan Dan" that was "refined by ancient methods".

For this "Guiyuan Dan", he only gave a brief introduction, obviously it is not the first time it has been sold at the trade fair, thinking that everyone is already familiar with it, according to him, the refining materials of this Guiyuan Dan, in addition to some rare medicinal materials, also include at least two kinds of monster bones, the formula is taken from the ancient method, the refining is also fully in accordance with the ancient law, and the effect is that it can help the cultivator recover his strength as soon as possible after a fierce battle.

Zhou Ang heard Gao Jing and Du Yi mention this elixir, it is said that there will be some special teams on the side of Taizhu Temple, probably the Jing'an Division, when they carry out some special operations, they often distribute some special pills, one of which seems to be called "Guiyuan Dan", but for local official cultivators, the hidden forces or monsters that generally need to be dealt with are not too powerful, so the intensity and intensity of the battle are limited, so Taizhu Temple did not popularize these configurations downward.

In fact, judging from the few months since Zhou Ang came to this world, especially from his experience after entering the county Zhu Yamen, that is, after joining the official cultivator system, today, at least in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, there are official cultivators at all levels who are searching for and encircling all kinds of opponents everywhere, and those hidden forces and monsters, let alone fighting with official cultivators, it is really difficult to find them.

Therefore, at least for the local official cultivators, it is indeed rare for them to encounter large-scale battles with great intensity and the assistance of various pills.

So when that person briefly introduced some of the characteristics and selling points of "Guiyuan Dan", Zhou Ang naturally didn't care much about it, but as soon as this pill appeared, even if two people opened their mouths to buy it.

Among them is Lu Tao, who changed his voice.

This "Guiyuan Dan" costs ten taels of silver each, which is not cheap in Zhou Ang's opinion, but the twenty pieces that the person brought this time were directly divided by Lu Tao and another person after negotiation.

Both of them paid on the spot, and then one of them harvested a small porcelain vase.

After the transaction was completed, Lu Tao also booked on the spot, expressing his hope that he could still buy this "Guiyuan Dan" next time, and the person who sold it said on the spot that he could bring ten more at the next trade fair.

With both parties agreeing on a pre-order plan, it is clear that the deal is coming to an end.

The room was quiet for a while, and no one spoke.

Seeing this, the "big man" asked, "Does anyone else have items that need to be traded?", seeing that no one answered, many people shook their heads, so he said decisively: "In this case, this transaction is over." If there is no notice of abnormal changes, ten days later, on the 21st of this month, I will still be here, and I will wait for you. ”

When everyone heard this, they all thanked each other.

So the "big gentleman" said: "It's still the old rule, first come, first go." Start from the first place! And so-and-so still said that whoever dares to make up his mind behind his back, so-and-so will never let him go!"

As he finished speaking, everyone bowed their heads, and then a medium-sized man stood up, nodded slightly in the direction of "Mr. Big", and then went over and opened the door, got up and left.

After two or three minutes, one of the servants came and said, "The man is gone." ”

So the second one got up.

In this order, everyone was quite tacitly not impatient, and quietly left the stage one by one in the order in which they came-Zhou Ang always waited patiently, and did not rush out of the "field of vision", so he waited for more than 20 minutes before it was finally Lu Tao's turn to get up and leave the west wing.

At this time, Zhou Ang was a little hesitant, thinking about whether he could switch the perspective of the "field of vision" tracking to see if he could follow the person who was still carrying the coral iron sword, but after hesitating, he still gave up.

Because it's not necessary.

Even if you know who the other party is and know the address, it is not good for you to go directly to the door to buy.

Because it is clear that outside of the official practitioner's body, hidden beneath the entire vast mystical cultivation world, there is another set of rules that are quite secretive but work freely.

If you don't find it, you should try to approach and contact it in a gentler way, and use it to facilitate yourself, instead of savagely touching the rules of operation as soon as you come up.

Because he keenly realized that underground gatherings and transactions like the one just now could bring him more than just a good weapon. Once you find a way to join in, then those demon corpses you get from the demon realm will have a stable and high-priced sales channel.

In this way, the little worry about the sale of demon corpses after entering the demon realm to hunt monsters will naturally disappear - even from this point alone, this trade fair is worth paying more attention to.

Even if he doesn't protect it, at least he shouldn't take the initiative to break his rules.

Therefore, after a short hesitation, Zhou Ang still chose to follow Lu Tao all the way out of the west wing, and then left the cross-courtyard, until she returned to her room, took off her mask and cloak, put on her hat again, and finally left the house.

Moreover, when she finally returned to the carriage, Zhou Ang still did not withdraw from the "field of vision" - now he could certainly be sure that this Lu family's eldest lady Lu Tao was not kidnapped or held hostage, but Zhou Ang still wanted to confirm the safety of this party by tracking her.

Although judging from the smoothness of the process of this trade fair and the tacit understanding with everyone, that "Mr. Big" should be quite powerful, which can deter everyone's small hearts, so as to ensure everyone's safety after leaving the trade fair, but out of prudence, Zhou Ang still wants to follow and confirm.

So, he followed the Lu family's carriage all the way, and at the same time paid attention to whether there were any hidden trackers on the side of the road and in front of and behind the carriage - he soon found that there should be none.

At this time, when the carriage passed through the gate of Guide Fang and entered the north-south avenue, the driver waved his whip, and the carriage quickly accelerated. At this time, it is obviously more difficult to track down, and it is more difficult to hide the traces. So Zhou Ang observed again and finally put his mind at ease.

It seems that the reason why this "Mr. Big" dares to convene such a trade fair, and it feels that this trade fair should have been running for a short time, and he still has his own reasons.

Thinking about it this way, Zhou Ang felt that this person should not be an idle person in Lingzhou City.

If you're looking into this hidden trade fair, this is obviously a good place to start.

With such a thought spinning in his mind, Zhou Ang was about to withdraw from the "field of vision" and cut off the tracking of Lu Tao, but suddenly heard the driver say in a low voice: "Miss has a harvest?"

"Seeing that there are no pedestrians on the road, and no one seems to be following, so you dare to speak?" Zhou Ang thought so in his heart, and heard Lu Tao in the carriage say lightly: "There are a few interesting things, but I haven't argued, it's better to observe first! After all, although the 'big man' has been friends with my father for many years, it is difficult to know his lungs and intestines with my father's departure." ”

Outside the door curtain, the driver nodded slightly, "um", and said, "Miss's concern is reasonable." ”

However, after a pause, the driver said: "However, he still needs our family to provide him with business, in the short term, he should not have any problems." It's his background!"

Inside the carriage, Lu Tao said: "Yes, so Uncle He, when dealing with him in business, you should pay more attention to observation, find anything wrong, and inform me in time." ”

"No!"
