After Wang Gou left the blacksmith shop, he bought some materials for martial arts practice and research in several shops in the city.

At this time, he was walking towards the largest bulk market in the center of the gathering place, which was a large place to sell some rare things, filled with hundreds of small stalls.

Most of the goods inside are rare items that are not very useful, or some items that are not useful.

The stall owners gather here in the hope that people with special needs will pay for these scarce items, and even sell the items of unknown use to others for good profits.

Therefore, it is not uncommon for unknown people to be deceived into buying unknown items, and of course there are also cases of discerning people buying high-value items at low prices.

Everyone knows that scarce but inefficient things have some special characteristics, although they are also commonly used by some people, but they have a very low effect on the improvement of force, which has been confirmed by years of experience.

In addition, anyone with a bit of a brain knows that an unknown item must have been tried after being picked up by the stall owner, and the estimated utility was very poor or none, before it was taken out and traded.

This bulk market is a major place for collectors and treasurers.

A stone called black scorched stone got its name after it was discovered here.

At that time, a master blacksmith bought black scorched stone on Taobao here, and after returning home, he forged the weapon in a special way, and found that the hardness of the weapon had increased nearly twice!

At this point, the stone became known as black scorch, and it is said that the black scorchite mine revealed by the stall owner later caused some power struggles.

......

After Wang Gou walked into the bulk goods market.

It was found that this was an open field with a length of about 100 meters, and the field was neatly filled with stalls of various vendors, and the open space between the stalls was also full of people.

Wang Gou started from the stall in the bottom left corner and slowly looked at the items on the stall.

The herbs and animals in this world are very different from those in previous lives, and many medicinal properties are difficult to test and study, and he doesn't know how to use them.

Moreover, some unknown herbs have been tried by the stall owners by cutting a little leaf, etc., and it is estimated that they are not very useful before they are sold, and Wang Gou himself does not have a good way to test them.

The main purpose of his coming here is to buy all kinds of ores.

And about minerals.

He can also make some use of the substances in minerals based on what he knows, because the elementary particles of this world are also microscopic particles such as atoms.

Before he built an electron microscope capable of nanoscale identification, these minerals were a key resource he could use.

In fact, when hypothetizing the microscopic composition of this world, Wang Gou also thought that if this world was different from the previous life, then when he discovered the new microscopic structure, and then compared it with the previous life, it is estimated that he could find a deeper source of difference and the essence of the world, and the benefits would be greater in the long run!

After all, the fundamental characteristic of science is not a certain theory, nor is it just mathematics, physics and chemistry, but its methods and ideas, which can produce explanations that are more in line with the essence of facts in the process of constantly overturning itself.

Think about it, in addition to the most famous natural sciences, even the analysis of social phenomena in universities is called social science, and no matter what the world, as long as there is life, there must be society!

Of course, in some tests and phenomena, Wang Gou still determined the consistency between this world and the microcosm of the previous life, although it is estimated that there will be some more things in this world that cannot be measured at present.

......

Wang Gou walked through the various stalls in the order of first horizontal and then vertical, and soon there was a big bag in his hand.

There were more than 20 kinds of stones in the bag, which he had bought one by one from each stall, and he also inquired about the mineral fields of some of the stones, which cost him nearly 50 taels of gold in total.

Since he had harvested thousands of taels of gold in the Gongjiao Gang, he didn't care much about money, so he directly bought all kinds of ores in the form of sweeping.

So much so that although there were many customers in the market, when he came to the next nearby stall, the next stall owner immediately put the ore from his stall in front of him, and then continued to greet other customers.

When he arrived at the last two stalls, Wang Gou saw that there were no ore items on the two stalls, but one of the stalls had a half-meter-long tree trunk with the thickness of an arm.

The trunk appears to have been used for ease of transportation, and the stall owner shaved off the branches and leaves before cutting off the head and tail, leaving only the middle torso. The trunk and the shattered body exposed at both ends had a black, metallic sheen.

Wang Gou could see that this was the trunk of the Black Iron Tree, which was one of the more useless items among the known scarce items.

In fact, in this bulk market, about forty percent of them are slightly poisonous, and these kinds of things are difficult to use to improve strength, after all, it is rare to use poisons to assist in martial arts.

This black iron tree is a slightly poisonous plant, only grows in some high-quality iron ore, its hard like iron, long-term holding of this thing will gradually paralyze the body.

It is said that some drug makers like to use black iron trees to make some poison containers or weapons.

In the stall he walked through before, Wang Gou also bought some non-mineral sundries, and now seeing the metallic luster of the black iron tree, Wang Gou plans to buy it too.

So, Wang Gou asked the stall owner out loud:

"How do you sell this black ironwood?"

The stall owner naturally saw that Wang Gou had bought ores and sundries at the stall next to him before.

He saw that other stall owners had been able to get a few days of income with one or two stones, and he was a little envious of the fact that these stall owners would soon be able to pick up some stones and put them back on the stall to easily replenish the stock.

He didn't have any stones on the stall, but at this time, he saw that Wang Gou was interested in black ironwood, he was also happy, and said to Wang Gou:

"In the past half a year, I am the only one who still has such a black ironwood, and you can be regarded as catching up, guest officer."

"What do you think of 30 taels of silver?

Wang Gou nodded after hearing this, and was about to agree, when a voice came from the edge of the market:

"I want this black ironwood!"

The sound was so loud that most of the passers-by and vendors in the vicinity stopped and turned their heads to look at the source of the sound.

Wang Gou also turned his head to look over, and at the streetside teahouse more than ten meters away from him, two people were walking towards the bulk market.

The two calmly walked to the open space on Wang Gou's left, and did not stop until they were five or six meters away from him and the stall.

Wang Gou only showed a pair of eyes and looked at the two with a smile.

Walking slightly ahead was a young man of twenty-one or twelve, with a long body and a long sword carved with dragon and jade hanging from his waist.

The other person was a slightly stronger middle-aged man, who also had a long sword hanging from his waist, and judging by his vigorous steps, he must be a master.

The words just now were shouted by the young man, and after the young man stood at this time, he only glanced at Wang Gou casually, and then asked directly to the stall owner of Hei Tiemu:

"How's that? I'll buy it for 50 taels."

The stall owner was a little surprised when he heard this, and then looked at Wang Gou with a little hesitation in his eyes.

Wang Gou didn't care about the stall owner, but just asked the young man:

"Looks like you recognize me?"

Only then did the young man look at Wang Gou, and said with his mouth crossed:

"Of course I know you."

As he spoke, a smile and disdain appeared in the corner of his eyes, and he continued:

"The deal has not yet been reached, so naturally the one with the highest price will get it, so you won't have any objections, right?"

Listening to the words of the young man, the surrounding crowd and hawkers also had some discussions:

"It seems that Young Master Liu is going to embarrass this guy"

"This person turned out to be the number one on the talent list, and after the list suddenly changed, because he didn't even have a name, I didn't pay much attention to it"

"Why don't you pay attention! I still think those things are fake, I feel like a random character launched by Fengyunlou"

"It looks like it does look like the number one on the talent list, maybe it's a little taller, and the rest of it looks like it's only changed slightly."

"But how did he mask his face, and he only showed a pair of eyes"

"Young Master Liu is also a genius on the talent list, but he is only ranked third, is it because of this reason to embarrass him?"

"Since he is the number one on the talent list, even if Young Master Liu is the grandson of Liu Bei, a first-class master of the Liu family, it is estimated that it will not be easy for him to embarrass him."

"What's not easy! Wang Shoucheng next to Young Master Liu is the strongest second-rate peak master of the Liu family, and there should be no problem in dealing with a first-class talent list."

"It is said that the geniuses of the great forces have some means to deal with the second-rate peak"

"What means, their means are the guards of the second-rate peak!"

Listening to the discussions of the surrounding crowd, Wang Gou also knew the identities of the two.

This Wang guard's eyes had been paying attention to Wang Gou before he walked over, and his expression was still a little wary and cautious at this time.

Young Master Liu looked at Wang Gou with a smile on his face at this time, as if he was waiting for his answer.

Wang Gou also smiled slightly when he saw this:

"Where, of course, I'm also a very well-behaved person"

After hearing this, the smile on Young Master Liu's face was about to increase, and at this moment, Wang Gou moved.

Wang Gou's figure blurred instantly, and appeared in front of Wang Huwei in a flash.

The short knife under the right hand had already collided with the long sword of the Wang Guard, sending out a series of flying sparks.

At this time, in the sound of sword collision, except for Wang Huwei and other second-rate masters above the peak who were present, they could reflect it.

The minds of the others were still stuck in the scene of Wang Gou's polite reply in the previous moment, including Young Master Liu, who was standing one step in front of Wang Guard.

And before, when Wang Gou rushed past Young Master Liu's side, and then slashed at Wang's guards with a short knife in his right hand, the knife in Wang Gou's left hand had already cut off Young Master Liu's entire waist!

At this time, in the collision of swords, Wang Huwei could no longer care about Young Master Liu's death and the horror in his heart.

The short knife in Wang Gou's left hand that cut through Young Master Liu's waist had already continued to slash towards his abdomen, and he must retreat!

It's just a pity that Wang Gou will certainly not let him get his wish.

After Wang Gou killed Young Master Liu, his feet had already landed on the ground when the short knife in his right hand slashed at Wang's guards.

Although at this time, Wang Huwei erupted with a strong desire and potential to survive, with the reverse thrust of the sword collision and part of the foot force, it was beginning to retreat, and the sword was about to separate.

But with the acceleration that Wang Gou is estimated to be able to achieve after accumulating under his feet, Wang Gou only thinks in his heart:

"Double Kill"

Sure enough, I saw Wang Gou exert his feet, and two cracks appeared on the ground on the soles of his feet in an instant.

After a "click", Wang Gou's figure flashed past Wang Huwei like a thunderbolt, and suddenly appeared ten meters behind Wang Huwei.

After the figure appeared and stopped ten meters away, Wang Gou's right-hand short knife had not been put down, but the short knife on the waist of his left hand had been stained with blood, slowly dripping blood.

It seems that Escort Wang did not succeed in retreating in the end, and the short knife in his left hand that cut off Young Master Liu's waist also cut half of Escort Wang's abdomen under the acceleration again.

When Wang Gou, who was ten meters behind Wang Guard, put away his double knives, Wang Guard's body that had retreated slightly before just fell to the ground.

The two of them were bleeding all over the ground, and it was clear that no one could survive after their waists were cut off and half of their abdomen was cut off.

The surrounding audience was also quiet at this time.

After Wang Gou saw the death of the two, he walked back to the side of the stall slowly, and said to the stall owner who had been staring at the corpse of Wang Guard with a stunned expression:

"Now that no one is bidding with me, is this piece of black ironwood mine?"

The stall owner came back to his senses and said with a respectful and trembling face:

"When...... Of course, it's yours."

After hearing this, Wang Gou put 30 taels of silver on the stall and put the black ironwood into his bag.

Then he slowly left the bulk market, ignoring the crowd that began to whisper around him, and as he passed, the crowd quickly and respectfully moved out of the way.
