Chapter 10: The Black Market
On the eastern outskirts of Stone City, there is a forest, and it is rumored to be haunted.
Thirty years ago, a caravan had to camp here for the night, but in the evening, just after midnight, there were constant screams, and the next day, when the bold villagers arrived here, they found that all of them were dead.
The death was extremely miserable, according to the monks who arrived here later, more than forty human skins were neatly placed in the caravan camp, and as for the human bones and other parts, they had completely disappeared, and the strong smell of blood and the tragic conditions made the monks who arrived here and the villagers who lived nearby shudder.
Since then, the villagers who originally lived here have moved away, and those who stayed behind have also lived with trepidation, and once it is night, they also close their doors and dare not go out.
"These demon cultivators are really crazy, that caravan was sacrificed by human blood, right? ”
Wang Luo held the Lingyuan Sword and walked into this forest carefully, he knew very well who were waiting here.
Although ordinary monks look down on mortals and will kill them at will, they will often kill them with one blow and will not cause them too much pain. Only these demon cultivators will take pleasure in torturing people, and after killing people, they will also imprison their souls and continue to play with them.
Of course, these people are not unable to talk, after all, they can build an underground market on the edge of Stone City, and there must be the support of some high-level leaders of the Wang family behind them.
"I heard that this place pays a tribute of 20% to the family every year, and I don't know if it's true or not......
A simple phantom array was set up in the forest, thus isolating the possibility of mortals and some foreign cultivators entering by mistake. Wang Luo has known about this place for many years, but it is only the first time he has been here.
He used all his spiritual power to the position of his eyes, observed the movement of the spiritual energy in this place, and then came to an ancient tree as pointed out by others.
"Bang bang!"
Two heavy blows, and then, a door-like thing was revealed out of thin air.
"Who should I be so bold, it turns out that the eldest young master of the Wang family is here. Two strong men in black robes immediately revealed.
They looked at it carefully, and after seeing the family logo that Wang Luo took out, they finally showed a hideous smile.
The powerful spiritual power of these two people made Wang Luo's expression condense, he really didn't expect that the two monks with a triple qi realm would be put here as watchdogs, and judging from the evil qi emitted from the two of them, even among the monks with a triple qi realm, they were also a good existence.
"Hehe, the rest of the people don't have such courage, there is no invitation, and the only ones who dare to come directly to the door when they first enter the Qi Realm are these big clan disciples with fine skin and tender meat. ”
Looking at the two Demon Dao cultivators in front of him, Wang Luo squinted his eyes and stared at them with a cautious gaze. Although the family must have signed some kind of contract with the master sitting here, so these demon cultivators will definitely not attack him head-on, but it is not without disciples of the Outer Refining Hall who unexpectedly disappear every year.
"You know all the rules! You need to pay a piece of spirit jade to enter the market. ”
Wang Luo took out the spirit jade and threw it to one of the black-robed strong men, and then exchanged it for a black pill from his hand.
The pill was soft, like a piece of plasticine, but Wang Luo knew that this was a grimace pill, which could temporarily distort people's faces after swallowing, and it was something that everyone who entered the underground market needed to take.
Wang Luo did not hesitate, he decisively swallowed this pill, feeling the soreness on his face, he knew that at this time, his face had turned into a demon, and at the same time, his voice became hoarse.
"Hey, hey, it's still much more pleasing to the eye now. ”
The black-robed strong man opened the door, and after passing through a section of dark road, Wang Luo finally saw a glimmer of light, under the dim light, dozens of stalls were lined up one after another, and there were hundreds of monks inside, Wang Luo's arrival did not cause any fluctuations, for those who often came here, everything was already taken for granted.
After carefully scanning around, I found that most of these monks were in the first level of the Qi realm, and there were a few people in the body forging realm, and there were only a few people in the double level of the qi realm, so it seemed that there was nothing too precious on the first floor of the underground market, so that the monks who were slightly stronger in cultivation did not bother to come here.
Due east, there is a door to the second basement floor, which is also guarded by two black-robed monks with a triple qi realm, and these people should be the highest combat power here.
When he arrived here, Wang Luo was relieved, and there were only a few guards with dual and triple qi realms, and there were not many people who could pose a mortal threat to him.
"However, being able to use the Qi Realm Triple Cultivator to guard the door is really a big deal. ”
He had also heard of the second floor of the underground market, and it was said that if you want to enter the second floor, you not only need to get an invitation letter, but also have to pay the fee of ten spirit jades, which is not something that ordinary people can afford, even those disciples from their own families in the Outer Refining Hall, in the face of the entrance fee of ten spirit jades, they have to suffer for a while.
The underground market did not deliberately maintain order, but the rules were known, and no one dared to violate the rules here. If you want to sell something, just find a corner and spread a mat and wait for someone to come to your door and ask for a price.
If something is not easy to sell, it can also be sold directly to the market.
In the center of the first floor of this market, there is a shop that is out of place with the surrounding area, which is opened by the forces under the command of the market, and they will buy all kinds of cultivation items at a price far below the market price, and then sell them at a high price.
No matter where the thing comes from, or the identity of the original owner, as long as you dare to sell it, they will dare to accept it.
After looking around for a while, he didn't find anything he particularly wanted, and then Wang Luo walked straight to the center of the market, where the only person who was most likely to eat all the Yuan Spirit Pill he had was the owner of this place.
A beautiful woman in a black robe with long hair and a graceful figure with extremely plump breasts is the shopkeeper here, holding a jar of wine in her jade hand, her seductive face is flushed, and the plump waves and the body fragrance mixed with the smell of wine exude a mature and attractive smell all the time.
Wang Luo looked at her and couldn't help but have some other thoughts. However, his instinct for danger still makes his brain very clear, and he still has to be careful with the beautiful women who can mingle in such a place.
He didn't feel the fluctuations in the spiritual power on the other party's body, but it was clear that this beautiful woman was not an ordinary mortal.
"Boy, if you look at it again, I'll gouge out your eyes, believe it?"
In the face of the glamorous woman's coquettishness, Wang Luo still maintained his face unchanged, although he was discovered, but with more than 20 years of experience in his previous life, his face had already been exercised very hard.
So, he changed the topic without blushing and without a heartbeat.
"These Yuan Ling Pills, I'm going to sell them. After saying that, he took out a porcelain vase and poured out nine pills from it, which were already the last money he had obtained after putting almost all the spirit jade into the spirit plate.
"The Yuan Ling Pill of the Beihe County Family?" The black-robed woman pinched a pill with her fingers, put it under her nose and sniffed it lightly for a moment, and quickly determined the origin of this pill.
"I heard that the third daughter of the Cheng family is going to marry the son of the Wang family, and the Cheng family sent a batch of pills to their future son-in-law, presumably this is how you got these pills, right?"
"Hmm...... Hmmm!"
"It's a pity. Facing Wang Luo's answer, the black-robed woman was not surprised, "We just opened a trading channel with the family not long ago, and now there is no shortage of this kind of supply, if you want to sell, at most one or two spirit jades." ”
"Although the amount of Yuan Ling Pill produced in Beihe County is small, it is only for you Nanling County monks. ”
"Only two spirit jades?" Wang Luo frowned, this price was much lower than he originally thought.
"A month later, the first batch of secret pills of the major clans of Beihe County, including the Yuan Ling Pill, will be transported to the territory of Nanling, and at that time, you can buy each Yuan Ling Pill for eight spirit jades. The black-robed woman didn't care and said, for the underground market, buying at a low price and selling at a high price are the norm.
However, this result made Wang Luo feel very dissatisfied, especially after learning that here, the Yuan Spirit Pill could be sold for a high price of eight spirit jades.
So he put away the pill and was about to leave, when he suddenly turned around and asked, "If I want to buy the Divine Cultivation Pill, how much will it cost?"
"Nourishing the Divine Pill, one grain and five spirit jades. The black-robed woman sat in her seat and yawned, then waved her hand, signaled Wang Luo to hurry out, and said: "Boy, forget it today, if you come again next time, you still haven't bought anything, and if you haven't sold anything, I'll let you know the consequences......"
After being kicked out of the shop, Wang Luo was not angry because of this, he took a mat like other monks who came to sell things, spread it on the ground, and then began to sell pills.
Then he recalled what the black-robed woman had said before, and unexpectedly got a message.
"What she said is that a batch of pills from Beihe County will be brought to Nanling in a month, that is to say, there is not much stock of Yuan Ling Pill here, and even if there is, it may not be on the first floor of this underground market......
Thinking of this, Wang Luo's eyes lit up.
There must be a reason for the price of eight spirit jades set by this underground market, but this has nothing to do with Wang Luo, so he marked the price of ten spirit jade on the side.
......
A few minutes later.
"Someone is actually selling the Yuan Spirit Pill!"
"The secret elixir of the family, it is said that it can assist in the rapid advancement of the forging body realm without sequelae, but the price is a bit high. ”
The stalls on the first floor were limited, so soon someone came here, and they looked at the pills in front of Wang Luo, especially some monks who only had the forging realm, and their eyes were full of longing.
