There are countless shady businesses in the fish market, as well as countless shady people, and countless noisy voices.

Just before the half-pillar of incense, the small canopy boat supported by Ding Ning swayed away from the gloomy dock, and when it was traveling among the countless wooden stakes supporting the fish market, the young man with thick eyebrows from the countryside who was full of questions outside the fish market walked into a pawnshop by the river with the son he said.

Without pawning anything, the two strangers passed through the backyard door of the pawnshop, through a narrow alley, and into a large gate, led by a rickety old man holding a black bamboo cane.

The dark, damp narrow alley was quiet, but entering the door was a whole different world.

A hall that is not too big, there are more than ten square tables in it, but there are at least a dozen people crowded around the square tables in each chapter, and agarwood is burning in all corners, but because of the large number of people, it looks like a miasma.

The moment he saw the scene in this room, the pupils of the young man with thick eyebrows unconsciously shrank slightly.

It wasn't because of the hostility in the eyes of those around him or the aura unique to cultivators, but because of something that was sitting on the middle table in the room at the moment.

It was a piece of jade the size of an adult's thumb and sallow in color.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this may be an ordinary topaz with a bad color, but almost all practitioners will know that this is the Huang Ya Dan of the Namyang Danzong of the Han Dynasty in the past.

Huang Ya Dan has warm medicinal properties and great true qi, and it is one of the best auxiliary elixirs for congenitally deficient True Qi Realm cultivators on their way to the True Yuan Realm.

When Nanyang Danzong was in its heyday, there were only a few hundred Yellow Bud Pills that could be refined in a year, and at this time, Nanyang Danzong no longer existed, and Yellow Bud Dan was naturally even rarer.

This kind of elixir is also a forbidden item that is not allowed to be traded in the Great Qin Dynasty, but the noise that fills this room is all a continuous shouting of prices.

So here, naturally, it is an illegal auction place.

The young man with thick eyebrows originally knew that there were many unimaginable scenes in the fish market, and there were many transactions of things that were very important to cultivators, but as soon as he entered the door, he saw something of Huang Yadan's level, he was still the same as a country child who had just entered the city, he had an inexplicable sense of shock, and he couldn't help but think in his heart, the Changling Fish Market really lived up to its reputation.

The handsome young man dressed as a scholar in front of him also stopped, staring at the scene in the field, and the old man with a black bamboo cane leading the way did not urge, but just waited silently.

At this moment, the competition for this Huang Ya Dan has reached a bit crazy, and the Huang Ya Dan, which was worth two thousand taels of silver in the early years, has shouted a thousand taels of gold at this moment, and there are still several parties competing for it.

After several more shouts, only a young swordsman in a gray shirt and a middle-aged man with a black veil were left on both sides of the battle.

The young swordsman's face was already flushed, and drops of sweat kept sliding down his forehead, but the middle-aged man with a black veil on his face sat still, extremely calm and calm, and every time he shouted the price, he only added a hundred taels of silver to the young swordsman's bid according to the minimum rules.

In an instant, one thousand three hundred taels of gold had passed.

The young swordsman's face turned from red to white, this Yellow Bud Pill was extremely important to him, if he didn't have this Yellow Bud Pill, I am afraid that with the root of the disease in his body, he would not have a chance to break through from the second realm to the third realm in this life.

So he turned his head and glanced at the middle-aged man with a veiled black face, almost pleadingly.

The middle-aged man saw his gaze, but only let out a cold and disdainful chuckle.

The young swordsman's emotions finally got out of control, he stood up and said sharply: "Two thousand taels of gold!"

The room is full of silence.

All eyes were on him.

Even if this young swordsman was a child of a clan with incredible wealth, for any clan, two thousand taels of gold was still too extravagant to buy a Yellow Bud Pill.

If it weren't for the middle-aged cultivator with a black veil on his face, I am afraid that this Yellow Bud Pill would have been able to be obtained in about a thousand taels of gold.

Hearing the young swordsman shout the price of two thousand taels of gold, the middle-aged cultivator with a black veil on his face was obviously stunned, but he still sat calmly, but his voice was slightly cold: "Brother Tai is so courageous, a certain family is not as good, but Brother Tai can really get two thousand taels of gold?"

The young swordsman suddenly fell into an ice cave, and his red face became extremely white.

There was an uproar.

Just by looking at his expression, all the people in this room knew that he was not the son of a huge rich clan at all, and he had just shouted the price of two thousand taels of gold, just because of a momentary emotional out-of-control and unbalanced mentality.

The ridicule was followed by coldness.

Shrimp have shrimp roads, crabs have crab roads, there are rules everywhere, and the dark passages of the fish market are even more stringent.

The thin man in the yellow shirt who had been standing in front of the table where Huang Yadan was placed and presiding over the auction shook his head, looked at the young swordsman with sympathetic eyes, and sighed lightly, "You should understand the rules here. ”

The young swordsman's clothes were soaked with sweat.

His right hand landed on the hilt of the long sword that hung diagonally from his waist.

Then he took a deep breath, but his expression became firm, and he slowly stretched out his left hand.

Originally, the eyes of everyone in this room had already focused on the long sword at his waist, but seeing him act like this at this moment, the mocking look in the eyes of most of the people in the room began to disappear, and a trace of respect appeared on their faces.

The young swordsman's sword looked very light, and the hilt was a rare blue-gold color, which was definitely not ordinary, and should be worth at least two thousand taels of gold.

According to the rules of the black market in the fish market, since he has already shouted the bid, he can at least use this sword to offset it in exchange for the yellow bud pill, but his actions at the moment are obviously unwilling to give up this sword, but to use the method of cutting his fingers to give an explanation.

The sword can be found again if it is lost, but it cannot be regenerated when it is broken.

But for those who major in swordsmanship, the sword is a symbol, a spirit.

Practitioners who possess this kind of spirit tend to go further on the path of cultivation.

Therefore, the choice of this young swordsman at this moment made the contempt and ridicule in the hearts of everyone around him disappear and turn into respect.

"Enough. ”

Seeing that the young swordsman had already exerted his strength, he was about to cut off his two fingers with a sword according to the rules here, but at this moment, a clear sound sounded.

"I'll give him this yellow bud pill. ”

The voice was simple and calm, without any emotion of showing off or winning people's favor.

The young swordsman turned his head in astonishment.

The origin is a handsome young man dressed as a scholar.

While he said this sentence simply and calmly, the young man with thick eyebrows behind him raised his eyebrows slightly, and directly took out a black pearl from the burden behind him and placed it on the side of Huang Yadan.

This black pearl was the size of a pigeon's egg, and it exuded a faint glow, and anyone with a discerning eye would know that it was definitely more than two thousand taels of gold.

The young swordsman was sure that he had never seen these two men before, and thought that as long as the handsome young man took a step slower, his two fingers would fall to the ground at this moment.

He felt lucky and surprised at first, and then ashamed and embarrassed, unable to say anything for a while.

The handsome young man dressed as a scholar didn't say anything, just glanced at the old man who stopped beside him and began to move.

The rickety old man didn't say much, and then led the way to a side door in the house.

The young swordsman began to come back to his senses a little, his hands trembled uncontrollably, because of excitement, his pale face was once again covered with a strange flush, "In Xiazhongjiang..."

He was obviously about to give his name, but he only spat out four words, and was interrupted by the handsome young man dressed as a scholar.

"I don't need anything from you in return, so I don't need to tell me your name. ”

The young man did not look back, and said simply, calmly, even seemingly impersonally.

Then he followed the old man into the side door and disappeared from everyone's stunned sight.

The young swordsman stood for a few seconds, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead again.

For some reason, he suddenly understood what the young man meant.

For a young man, this is just something that can be solved casually, but for his life, he will never meet such a person again, and he will never have a chance again.

He must not make the terrible mistake of just being emotionally out of control.

Receiving a lesson and enlightenment is greater than the grace of conferring Dan.

Therefore, after the young swordsman from Zhongjiang in Guanzhong took the Huang Ya Dan handed over by the presiding auctioneer, he bowed deeply to the side door where the beautiful young man's figure disappeared, and made a gesture to serve the sword.

Seeing his actions like this, the faces of many cultivators in this room became even more solemn.

......

Inside the side door, there is a deep alley.

The eaves and canopies above the alley are not complete, and there are rain lines pouring down.

In the many houses on both sides, there were many figures shaking like ghosts, and their voices were chaotic, and they didn't know what they were doing.

The wind and rain are like obscurity, and people are like ghosts.

In such a picture, even a handsome young man who casually gave away a yellow bud pill has a little more contemplation in his calm and firm eyes.

However, he immediately came to his senses, and a hint of anger appeared on his face.

A scorching aura spread around his body, and the wind and rain could not be approached, and the gloomy aura dispersed.

The old man leading the way was holding a black bamboo cane in his hand.

Not far from the front on the left, against the wall of the alley, there are also a few black bamboos.

At this moment, several black bamboos writhed like living snakes, quickly turning into black qi and disappearing.

The scene changed suddenly, and many ghostly figures disappeared, but where the black bamboos disappeared, a hidden wooden door appeared.

Inside the wooden door is a dark room.

"I didn't expect that the eldest lady of the merchant was practicing the way of yin gods and ghosts. ”

The young man smiled coldly and said indifferently.
