Chapter 115.
Darkness descended.
tan san, however, went out the door at this time, dressed in black with a bucket hat on his head.
At this time, he is very different from the usual, looks a few points thinner and shorter, slightly hunched over, like a downtrodden middle-aged cultivator.
In the darkness of the night, the bustling marketplace also had very few people walking around.
tan san walked all the way and soon arrived at the scattered cultivator bazaar square.
A month ago, there was a performance troupe stationed in Fengmingwu Square Market, and at first, they even handed out flyers, which caused a sensation.
tan san didn’t expect that this time, the black market organized by the Greenleaf Alliance would be within this performance troupe, which was within this huge tent in front of him.
Moreover, he also did not expect that the troupe had not been withdrawn until now, and most of the members inside were people from the Green Leaf Alliance.
Among the performing troupes, performances were held on the tenth day of the month.
Today happens to be the 30th day of the month, there is a performance in front of the stage, just close to the time, you can hear cheers from time to time.
After tan san got close, he took out the Green Leaf Order and once again tapped out a bit of spiritual light, and instantly a hidden spiritual light guidance came from it.
“Backstage?”
tan san glanced at the main entrance, the entrance to the tent that was guarded by two cultivators, before walking towards the rear.
At the back, it was pitch black.
However, through the Green Leaf Order guidance, he knew that the black market organized by the Green Leaf Alliance was located right here at the back door, looking around, he couldn’t help but use his Spiritual Eye Technique, and it was only then that he noticed that at a corner, a hint of spiritual light was coming from a hidden place, which was covered, and he hurriedly walked over to it.
With a flash of the Green Leaf Order, the spiritual light caved in and a dark door appeared.
It was obvious that within the dark door was where the black market was.
“This is a masterful formation, specially set up so that only those with the Green Leaf Order can enter and exit.
This must be at least a second grade or higher formation.”
Thoughts flashed through tan san’s mind, but he did not hesitate and walked straight in.
Into the eyes, was a long passageway, walked to the end of the passageway, turned to the side, which revealed a spacious workshop room.
At this time, within the room, there were already about ten cultivators.
Most of these cultivators were masked, and their attire was varied, all of them had hidden treatments, at least from the appearance, it was difficult to discover each other’s real identity.
For tan san’s arrival, a circle of people did not have the slightest surprise, just sit in a corner, do not disturb each other.
Seeing this, tan san also silently found a place to sit.
Time passes, in the room, from time to time, someone enters, some body spirit light hidden, some do not do to cover, but most of them are qi cultivation five or six layer level, of course there are also qi cultivation late cultivators, one of them, even if the use of astringent technique, but obviously astringent technique is only the entry level, but tan san in his body felt a than the shen xinyue is also a strong one chip of the aura of spiritual pressure.
Ninth level qi cultivator!
Other than this person, there were two others, also above the seventh level of Qi Practicing.
A female cultivator who wore purple robes and whose face was also covered with a purple face scarf, and another one who wore loose Taoist robes and looked a bit skinny.
Suddenly.
Three cultivators suddenly walked out from the back side.
All three did not make a cover.
It was none other than a few of the people from the main performing troupes in this performing troupe.
Flying Mouse Wu Yuntian, Moon Green Fairy Zhao Yueqing, and Imperial Beast Master Zhuge Hongyu.
Of the three, the strength of the Flying Mouse Wu Yuntian was at the ninth level of Qi Practicing, while the Moon Qing Fairy Zhao Yueqing and Zhuge Redfish were both cultivators at the seventh level of Qi Practicing.
The three arrived together, and immediately everyone converged their gazes over.
“All of you!”
Soon, the leader, Wu Yuntian, opened his mouth, his voice low, and said, “I will preside over the black market trade fair this time.
The rules are simple.
Everyone in turn will take out the treasures they wish to sell, or if they have any needs, they can bring them up.
If there is an intention, they can contact each other privately to trade.
If two people share the same fancy, they can bid against each other to trade, or negotiate to complete the transaction, it’s all up to freedom.
In this room transaction, I will maintain everyone’s safety, but out of this room, it has nothing to do with me.
But here, after all, is the interior of the marketplace, and since everyone is from the Alliance after all, I don’t think anyone would be so unwise as to lay hands on a fellow practitioner.”
Saying that, Wu Yuntian swept his eyes at the crowd.
Everyone didn’t speak, with a noncommittal look.
“Alright, since I’m the one who initiated it, then this transaction, I’ll start it.
This is a top-grade magic weapon flying sword, the Wuqing Sword, with a complete array of artifacts and unparalleled sharpness, and it even contains the ‘gravity’ characteristic, so when it is initiated, it suddenly triggers ‘gravity’, and it can also have the effect of taking people by surprise.
I wish to exchange it for a Foundation Establishment Spirit Item, or 30,000 Lower Grade Spirit Stones.
Any Daoists who are willing to do so can contact me!”
As soon as he finished speaking, his gaze looked at the crowd expectantly.
Just, Foundation Building Spirit Item, as a Qi Practicing Cultivator, who wouldn’t want it? The cultivators present, not to mention not having them, even if they did have them, they were not willing to take them out in exchange.
And thirty thousand lower grade spirit stones was not a small amount.
The value of the top-level magic weapon flying sword was indeed extremely high, and this one also contained the ‘gravity’ feature, which was barely worth 30,000 lower-grade spirit stones, but no one really had this many spirit stones on them.
In the end, there was a cultivator who offered to exchange a few treasures with him, and the two of them directly used the soundproofing technique, and after a few discussions, the cultivator finally successfully exchanged the Wuqing Sword for the other one.
tan san glanced at that person, noting that it was the purple-clothed female cultivator from before, and was not in a position to pay too much attention.
Because at this time, another person walked up, and it was that late stage Qi Practicing cultivator who wore loose Taoist robes and looked a bit skinny.
As soon as he stepped onto the stage, he threw himself onto a storage bag, and then he took out a huge humanoid puppet from it.
tan san’s eyes flickered when he saw this, unexpectedly realizing that this humanoid puppet was actually the same mid-grade puppet, the Swordsman Puppet, that he had seen the first time he had entered the Bai Clan’s merchant house.
Immediately after, this person opened his mouth and said, ”This puppet, is a first grade middle rank puppet, the shape is made of ebony steel, and the long sword in the puppet’s hand is also a large middle grade artifact, which is hard and unparalleled.
The whole puppet, combat strength is very strong, not weaker than the sixth layer of qi cultivator, and control is simple, only need to refine, can be controlled by spiritual consciousness, such as the arm of the finger.
It is a necessary thing for all of you to travel and adventure.
I’m here to bid 20,000 lower grade spirit stones, of course, also willing to exchange magic weapons, materials.
In addition, I’m actually a puppeteer, if you have a need, you can also contact me privately and look for me to make a reservation and order a puppet, as long as the price is right, I’m bound to not let you down.”
“Sure enough, it’s him, a first grade middle rank puppet master, Cao Youde.”
tan san’s eyes narrowed slightly, finally identifying this person, it was none other than the puppet master Cao Youde that he had pulled a sales pitch on earlier in the Bai Clan’s merchant center.
It was unexpected that this puppet of his hadn’t even been sold yet, and at this moment, he had taken it to this black market to hawk it.
Twenty thousand lower grade spirit stones of the humanoid puppet, the heart of the people have, but really willing to pay out spirit stones to buy the natural people less.
Therefore, after waiting for a while, this puppet of his didn’t sell out after all.
On the contrary, there were two cultivators who approached him later, obviously intending to order a puppet.
Then, another cultivator soon came forward and took out his treasures for introduction.
Among them were magic weapons, formation flags, exotic fruits, and of course, jade slips.
In particular, there were some ”ancient slips”.
They were jade slips that had been left behind since ancient times by cultivators exploring some ancient land.
Above left a special prohibition, the only way to unlock the prohibition, to be able to explore the contents of the jade slip, the contents of which are varied, there may be ancient inheritance, cultivation techniques, cultivation experience, a biography of a certain cultivator, of course, there may be just a letter, some of the environment, a bunch of uncontested dialogue, some of the value of the cultivation of low-level spells, and even blank jade slip! ……
As long as the prohibition wasn’t open.
No one would know what contents were actually hidden inside.
Just for example, this Pure Yang Five Elements Technique that tan san cultivated belonged to one of the ancient simplices.
At this moment, there was a cultivator who said that he had three ancient simplices on him and one thousand lower grade spirit stones each, and that he could be approached to trade if he needed it.
It is worth mentioning that, even if you get the ancient brief, and inside really hides some treasured inheritance, secret arts, but not necessarily really able to obtain the inheritance inside.
Because, there is a prerequisite is – to unlock the forbidden system.
But restrictions, belonging to the formation of a kind of use.
If the setting of the prohibition is extremely powerful, or the means of the person to unlock the prohibition is too rough, and may even trigger the prohibition backfire, thus destroying the ancient brief itself, will be annihilated.
Therefore, this unlocking the ancient brief prohibitions, is also a risky thing.
A bad, there may be a basket of water.
The spirit stone was gone, and so was the jade slip.
However, it was clear that there was no lack of people with a sense of adventure on the scene.
Although one thousand lower-grade spirit stones were a lot, many cultivators, the weakest of which were at the fourth level of Qi cultivation, all had small fortunes.
Therefore, the three ancient simplices were quickly purchased.
Immediately after, another person walked forward, it was that one of the members of the performance troupe that came with Wu Yuntian, Zhuge Hongyu.
She was a middle-aged female cultivator look-alike with a scar on her face, not unsightly, but also very conspicuous.
After standing up, she directly opened her mouth and said, “I don’t have any treasures on me to exchange, but I would like to ask for a bottle of Second Grade Spiritual Pill Illusory God Pill, or all Second Grade Spiritual Pills that can restore Divine Consciousness, and Spirit.”
Unfortunately.
Second Grade Spirit Pills, for many Qi Practicing Stage cultivators, were not very useful, so naturally, there would not be much stored, not to mention still more precious and rarer Spirit Pills of the Spirit type.
“Fellow Daoist might as well go to the upcoming Bai Clan Auction.
Nowadays, within the marketplace, that’s the only place where these types of spirit elixirs could possibly exist for sale.”
Instead, the cultivator suddenly voiced a reminder.
“Good, thank you for reminding me, fellow Daoist.”
That Zhuge Hongyu answered, but just didn’t say anything more after all.
Instead, it was tan san who guessed something, the other party this was clearly seeking a cure for a certain cultivator, while their performance troupe, the reason why they were able to enter the Square Market, relied on the Chen Family.
The auction organized by the Bai family, of course, would not invite them who were labeled as ‘Chen family’.
Then, there were a few more people who came forward with various treasures to display and sell.
Among them, there were one or two items that tan san was also quite interested in, especially a third grade spirit fruit, the seven-colored lotus seed.
The seven-colored lotus seed is said to be a spiritual fruit that can enhance the cultivator’s spiritual root qualification to a certain extent.
However, while tan san was interested in this kind of treasure, others were also interested.
So that cultivator just took out, there are four or five cultivators open bidding, tan san also followed the price.
However, tan san shouted up to 3,000 lower-grade spirit stones, and then didn’t open his mouth again.
After all, his own spirit stone is not handy, still have to reserve, see ‘Brother Xiu’ can help him to auction down the five elements glazed heart lamp.
But other people, but not that many scruples, the price quickly soared up, until called to eight thousand lower grade spirit stone, only gradually no one to compete. After all, ‘lotus seed’ only one, eight thousand lower grade spirit stone, already some false high, so many people did not continue to bid.
In the end, it was bought by a black-robed cultivator.
It wasn’t until after one of the cultivators walked down that tan san walked up.
“On the lower hand, there are some finished spirit talismans, mainly Thunderbolt Talismans, Fireball Talismans and Golden Light Shield Talismans, which are not of a high grade, but they can also be used in battle, to play some roles.
Among them, the Thunderbolt Talisman is twenty-five fast lower grade spirit stones a piece, the Fireball Talisman is twenty lower grade spirit stones, and the Golden Light Shield Talisman is eighty lower grade spirit stones.
If you Daoists are interested, you can contact me.”
tan san directly opened his mouth with a hoarse voice, then simply walked on.
Naturally, there were cultivators with corresponding needs who took the initiative to make contact with tan san.
By now, any cultivator who was a bit more astute would be able to detect the crisis within the marketplace, and no one would not want to store some spirit talismans on their person.
Therefore, just a moment’s effort, tan san’s hands of spirit talisman, sold out.
It even included a large number of ordinary high-quality talismans, which were also rounded up by a few cultivators.
Later on, when someone else came looking for them, tan san could only helplessly wave his hands.
In the final roundup, he had obtained a total of over two thousand one hundred lower grade spirit stones.
Together with the three thousand or so that he originally had on him, he finally managed to round up another five thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones.
“What if it’s a reservation? Here, I also need a batch of spirit talismans, I wonder if you are willing to provide them?”
The one asking for a price at this moment was none other than that Moonlight Green Fairy Zhao Yueqing from the performing troupe, and after tan san stated that there were no more survivals, she asked undauntedly.
“Reservation?
I don’t guarantee that there will still be spirit talismans for sale.
I think that you, Fellow Daoist, are also aware that the Feng Ming Dock Workshop is not safe nowadays.”
tan san shook his head and spoke.
He could not guarantee that he would still be within the workshop market the next time the black market opened.
When Fairy Yueqing heard this, she could only nod in disappointment.
Soon, as the last person walked down, the transaction came to an end.
Immediately after, by the organizer of this black market, Wu Yun Tian took out a jade slip and distributed it to many cultivators, what was recorded on it was some corresponding Greenleaf Alliance tasks.
If you have the intention, you can directly take it, then contact the other party to record it, and after completing it, you will be able to collect the corresponding points reward.
This was the only obligation of joining the Greenleaf Alliance.
But all the Green Leaf Alliance cultivators, need to be on time monthly to complete a small task, if not for three consecutive months to pick up the task, must complete a medium-sized task, if not yet, accumulate a year, then you need to complete a large task.
Three years was the limit, and within three years, if a single mission was not taken and completed, one would automatically be removed from the alliance.
After tan san reached out and took the jade slip, he soon realized that there were many missions recorded inside, both large and small.
Among them, there were three large-scale tasks, one of which was to submit a Foundation Establishment Spirit Item, only the main Foundation Establishment Spirit Item was precious and it was unlikely that anyone would submit it.
The second one was to submit a one-horned red mango’s horn, which was a Foundation Establishment demonic beast, not something that ordinary cultivators could handle.
The third was an assassination mission, only after taking the mission could one obtain the corresponding assassination information.
As for medium-sized tasks, there are many, there is to obtain materials, there is to buy secret techniques, elixirs, heavenly treasures, also have to help set up formations, to solve the problem and so on …….
On the contrary, there weren’t many small quests, and the requirements were relatively simple.
At least with tan san’s ability, most of the small tasks can be easily solved, as for medium-sized tasks, with his means, it is not difficult to complete.
There were a few of them that could even be accomplished without him stepping out of the workshop.
Seeing this, he was relieved.
If the tasks were too difficult, he would have to consider ‘whoring’ for three years and then silently withdraw.
In this way, this trip to the black market was over.
In the end, Wu Yun Tian directly opened his mouth and said, “Alright, this black market, even if it’s over, Daoists can leave on their own, or of course, you can enter the audience from our backstage, and watch our performing troupe’s performance before leaving, go or stay as you wish.”
tan san thought about it, but still silently followed them, entering the audience and watching the performance.
After all, with so many experts going out together, who knew if someone would see them as a target and make a move to loot them?
The cultivators within the Greenleaf Alliance were mixed, but there was no shortage of robbing cultivators, or even evil cultivators, so it would be better to mix into the audience, which was safer.
And with his seat soon, see the performance stage, that moon green fairy on stage, a pink robe, on the stage lightly jump, show a beautiful dance.
Moreover, while performing, she even used various spells.
The light of various spells flowed on the stage, and with her dancing, it was truly radiant, like a heavenly fairy on earth, beautiful beyond compare.
“Not to mention the power of this Fairy Qing Yue’s spells, her spell casting speed is not really slow. It’s at least a minor accomplishment, and there’s no shortage of major accomplishments among them ……”
As tan san watched the performance, he could easily tell her spell attainments.
One must know that there were few cultivators who put that much effort into their spells.
The white moon was in the sky.
And with that, tan san smoothly returned to his own small courtyard.
Then, he didn’t stay in the courtyard and directly entered the cultivation chamber and began to run the Pure Yang Five Elements Technique for cultivation.
The next afternoon.
tan san had just returned from the backyard when he heard the sound of knocking on the door from the front yard.
Guessing that it might be ‘Brother Xiu’ who had just finished attending the auction, tan san hurriedly opened the gate.
Sure enough, Tuoba Xiu arrived as promised.
“Fortunately!
The Five Elements Glazed Heart Lamp, was successfully auctioned off by me.”
Brother Xiu’s eyes narrowed, his eyes almost becoming a line, and he said with a smile.
“Many thanks to Brother Xiu.
How many spirit stones did it cost in total?”
tan san’s face was solemn as he arched his hand and said solemnly.
“One thousand seven hundred lower grade spirit stones.”
Brother Xiu smiled and said.
“So cheap?”
tan san froze and reacted in a trance.
This spell, was not comparable to a gongfu.
The Pure Yang Five Elemental Feats in his hand, but the top five elemental feats, and also included the Foundation Establishment chapter, which only required fifteen thousand lower grade spirit stones, for that matter, it was still cheaper by a full fifteen hundred lower grade spirit stones.
As for spells, even if the price was higher, it wouldn’t be too exaggerated.
Even the first-grade high-grade thunder spell, the Great Five Elements Thousand Thunder Technique, was only seven hundred and fifty lower-grade spirit stones, and this Five Elements Glazed Heart Lamp, even if it was more treasured and difficult to come by, wouldn’t be too much of an exaggeration since.
“Indeed, this can purify, purify spiritual impurities, so that the spiritual power is more pure, powerful spells, especially there are remaining cultivators foundation three off in the spiritual power off hook, can enhance the cultivator’s chances of foundation, naturally tend to be expensive.
For example, the nine-turn spirit refining technique, three points to transform the jade trick …… generally need four or five thousand lower grade spirit stones.
But who called this a five element spell?
Five element spells, only cultivators with all five elements were suitable for cultivation.
And which of the cultivators who were able to participate in the auction were not of extraordinary strength? Most of them were four spirit roots, three spirit roots and above cultivators.
And thus, the competition for this “Five Elements Glazed Heart Lamp” was relatively low.
The starting price was one thousand two hundred lower grade spirit stones, and I raised the price twice before I helped you get it.”
Brother Xiu explained with a smile.
“This time, dang it, thank you Brother Xiu.”
When tan san heard this, he was also greatly surprised and didn’t know whether he should be grateful or helpless.
However, at last, he had also successfully gotten his hands on this spell, and it was still a thing to be happy about.
Then, he hurriedly pointed out one thousand seven hundred lower grade spirit stones, and with a flip of his hand, he took two finished talismans and handed them over, saying: ”This is one thousand seven hundred lower grade spirit stones.
Then these two first grade early stage spirit talismans are not worth many spirit stones, count them as my little reward.”
These two talismans, or the ones he had just drawn today, were the Thunderbolt Talisman and the Fireball Talisman.
As for the Golden Light Shield talisman?
He did have one in his hand, but after all, it was a first-grade mid-rank spirit talisman, so he was not in a good position to send it out to avoid any complications.
“Hahaha, Fellow Daoist Zhou is truly, too polite.”
When Brother Xiu heard this, he didn’t reject it, and hastily accepted it with a smile on his brow, and naturally, he also obediently handed over the corresponding jade slip, into tan san’s hands.
In addition to the jade slip, there was also an unblocking method.
Only by utilizing the corresponding unblocking method would one be able to unblock the restrictions on the jade slip, and also truly see the contents within the jade slip.
In this way, it actually proved that Brother Xiu had not viewed the contents within this jade slip, otherwise the prohibition above would not be that complete.
“Alright, the money and goods have been paid for.
Our transaction, is also considered to be over.
Next, it’s time for me to truly prepare to leave.”
Immediately afterward, Brother Xiu’s tone lurched as he continued, “In fact, I had thought about it before and didn’t return your seventy lower-grade spirit stones.
However, this person of mine has been in the fixer business for such a long time, and what I am seeking for is a fairness, an honesty.
Naturally, I can’t break it because of your seventy lower grade spirit stones.
Moreover, I can actually see that your ambition is not small and your potential is sufficient, so I am willing to make friends with you.
Unfortunately, this time, I’m leaving Feng Ming Dock Market, so I definitely won’t be able to come back in a short period of time.
In the future, when we arrive at the Qingyuan Sect’s territory, as long as you still look for me and recognize me as a friend, I will recognize you as a friend and buy you a drink.”
With that, Brother Xiu arched his hand, and then without stopping any longer, he directly turned around and left.
“Friend?”
When tan san heard this, he also couldn’t help but reveal a trace of a different color.
There weren’t many friends in the Immortal Cultivation World that one could make.
How lonely on the road to immortality.
Under the long river of years, there were also all dry bones.
