Longevity starts with learning

Chapter 191 Black Market, Auction House.

"A spirit stone can stay in Fangshi for one day. If the time is exceeded, the spirit stone must be paid in time. Those who violate it will be imprisoned for three months!"

Entering the black market is a familiar phrase.

Chu Mu glanced at the man standing idle at the entrance of the black market, casually threw out a spirit stone, and held a ring representing the time of stay in his hand.

The place where he is now is the Jade Emperor Black Market which is the closest to the Jade Emperor Valley. Like the Fengming Mountain Black Market, it is also located in the mountain.

However, the cave in front of me seems to be a natural cave.

The lava crystals, like ice crystals, hang from the dome of the cave, and under the action of light, they bloom with magnificent brilliance.

Under the dome, there is a layout similar to that of the Fengming Mountain Black Market, but, perhaps due to the fact that it was newly built, it is a little tidier than the Fengming Mountain Black Market.

The low-rise houses are in the shape of a well, and they are arranged under the dome. Perhaps it is the influence of the prosperity of the Jade Emperor Valley. The flow of people in the black market is obviously much higher than that in the black market in Fengming Mountain.

I don't know why, the moment I entered this black market, even if I knew it, this black market must be inseparable from the Longevity Sect.

But it still feels like a heavy burden has been lifted, and the whole person seems to be a little more relaxed and carefree.

The black market represents disorder and freedom.

But this kind of disorder and freedom is precisely the strictest order in the world of cultivating immortals.

After all, all the cultivators who come to the black market value the concealment and freedom of the black market.

Once this hidden freedom is destroyed, the credibility of this black market will be drastically reduced!

In order to maintain the interests of the black market, the behind-the-scenes controllers of the black market will do their best to maintain the order and reliability of the black market.

The most chaotic black market is often the safest place. This kind of safety is definitely much safer than those square markets on the surface.

Individual interests and collective interests are two completely different concepts.

And the current Jade Emperor black market represents the interests of a Jindan Daoist.

Very safe and comfortable.

Walking and stopping on the street, the mood in the black market this time is obviously different from the last trip to the black market in Fengming Mountain and the dissolution.

Without the urgency of that time, it is natural to go shopping with a lot of leisure.

Be careful and calm down, and there seems to be a lot more things to see.

A more real world of cultivating immortals seems to be reflected in front of his eyes.

For example, there are stalls selling the souls of immortal cultivators, the souls of the first level of Qi training, and the price is ten yuan.

There are also stalls selling slaves. Dozens of men and women are kneeling by the street. Under the perception of their spiritual sense, they are all warriors with vigor and blood.

After strolling around for a while, Chu Mu stopped at a stall selling newspapers.

He has subscribed to the mansion newspaper for a long time, but the mansion newspaper at the booth in front of him seems to be quite different from the mansion newspaper he knows.

"Where are these mansion newspapers?"

Chu Mu asked.

"It was compiled by the old man himself. In the past 100 years, some major events that have happened in the world of cultivation in the Great Chu have been recorded on it."

"The price is not expensive, just one spirit."

The old man introduced with a smile.

Chu Mu threw out a ghost.

"Dele, fellow daoist, take it well."

The old man gave a coquettish smile, and handed over a thick volume of residence newspaper.

After receiving the mansion newspaper, Chu Mu threw it into the storage talisman and continued walking along the street.

Chu Mu's purpose is very clear.

One puppet, two body training, three pills, and four basic knowledge of cultivation.

These three items are the main purpose of his trip to the black market.

Especially the first two items are necessary.

Chu Mu has made up his mind that if the Jade Emperor black market fails to achieve his goal, he will go to other black markets. If his goal is not achieved, then he will not return.

When subdivided into details, the purpose becomes clearer.

The pre-basic knowledge of Puppet Art, that is, Artifact Refining Art, and basic knowledge related to Artifact Artifacts.

As for body training, there is already a Man Niu Jue exercise, if possible, he would like to buy other body training exercises for comparison and to broaden his knowledge.

Of course, the most important thing is to buy pills that assist in body training. If possible, it is best to buy one or several pills that assist in body training, and then buy all the raw materials for the pills.

As for the elixir, by the way, he bought other elixir formulas and related basic knowledge of alchemy, such as elixir, to increase the background of alchemy.

And the final basic knowledge of practice is aimed at increasing the breadth and depth of knowledge.

For example, the knowledge of basic fire attribute inscriptions related to the fireball spells he practiced, such as some basic formation prohibition knowledge, such as some experience notes on Qi training and body training...

The existence of "Linghui" is doomed, and his way of cultivation will inevitably be completely different from other immortal cultivators.

He needs to collect a relatively complete knowledge system in the world of cultivating immortals, and then use the effect of "spiritual brilliance" to establish a deep understanding of the way of cultivation.

Only in this way, with his pseudo-spiritual root aptitude, can he go further and stand firmer on this path of practice.

This is a process of collecting knowledge, understanding knowledge, and applying knowledge.

And the cost of knowledge is undoubtedly doomed, and this will inevitably be an extremely difficult process.

Walking around in Fangshi, there are hundreds of ghosts pouring out.

And what I got was a jade slip that recorded the basic inscription of the fire attribute, a detailed explanation of hundreds of common spirit ores in the world of cultivating immortals, a detailed explanation of the practice of Raging Fire Art, and a volume of growth and efficacy analysis of elixir.

Knowledge is expensive, and we cherish ourselves.

While spilling a lot of spirit stones, he also made a vow of Dao heart all the way.

In the end, after spending several spirit stones and renting a booth, Chu Mu put up the spoils he harvested this time.

A low-grade magic weapon, a flying sword, and a middle-grade magic weapon, a scimitar.

The price is not expensive, about [-]% lower than the market price.

As for Yangmai Pill, at this time of crisis, there is no need to cause trouble for yourself.

Two magic tools are enough to harvest hundreds of spirit stones, which can barely make up for the vacancy of spirit stones.

Perhaps it was because the price was lower than the market price, but in just over half an hour, the two magic weapons were sold one after another.

In the next few days, Chu Mu wandered around the Jade Emperor's black market all day long, and when he saw something he liked, he sprinkled spirit stones into his pocket.

The knowledge system in his mind was also being improved bit by bit in the process of sprinkling the spirit stone.

By the eighth day, most of the goals of this trip to the black market had basically been achieved.

But only the inheritance of the knowledge of the refining technique that he has been thinking about for a long time has still not been seen.

In the storage talisman, more than a thousand low-grade spirit stones are still quietly displayed, and they want to spend them, but they can't find a way to spend them.

His luck with the knowledge inheritance of the art of refining seems to have been completely exhausted after the first encounter in Fengming Mountain.

Stopping on the street, Chu Mu glanced at the street behind him, pondered for a moment, but walked towards a side alley.

At the end of the alley, Chu Mu stopped again, turned around, looked at the empty alley behind him, and waited silently.

He has a guess and needs confirmation.

Not long after, a figure appeared at the entrance of the alley. He looked around and walked into the alley.

Chu Mu's guess has undoubtedly been confirmed.

Ever since he entered this black market and sprinkled the first spirit stones, he clearly felt that he was being targeted.

A horse without night grass is not fat, and a person is not rich without windfall.

This is obviously a normal thing.

But it is also obvious that the peepers are obviously sneaky, hiding their greedy thoughts as carefully as possible.

How can it not be almost open and aboveboard to follow and peep.

But this time, he met it.

From the moment he sprinkled the first spirit stone, a nearly upright figure followed him around the city.

Even if he changes his appearance in the middle, as soon as he starts to sprinkle spirit stones, he will be stared at openly again, and the people who stare at him are different every time.

However, most of their cultivation bases are around the fourth or fifth level of Qi training.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Chu Mu didn't mind testing it out.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Looking at the Qi training fifth-level monk walking in front of him, Chu Mu questioned.

"The young one saw that the senior stayed in the market for a few days, but he couldn't find any channels for what he wanted to buy?"

"Why, do you have a channel?"

Chu Mu frowned, and said again.

"Three days later, there will be an underground auction. If you are interested, seniors, you can go and have a look."

The man respectfully handed over a dark gray jade card.

Chu Mu didn't reach out to take it, but asked instead: "So, this is how you find guests?"

"Forgive me senior, this is just a small duty."

"Ah."

Chu Mu chuckled, took the jade token, and didn't say any more to pursue responsibility, and the man in front of him also respectfully retreated.

The jade badge has no distinctive features, the dark gray jade body is only the size of a palm, and 96 is engraved on the front, which seems to be the serial number of the jade badge.

On the back is an arrow, a red dot.

Obviously, it is the location that guides the underground auction.

Chu Mu raised his head and glanced in the direction. Following the memory of wandering around the black market these days, he was roughly sure about the location of the so-called underground auction.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

On the third day, Chu Mu appeared on time at the place pointed by the jade card.

A low house exactly like other houses in Fang City.

But from time to time, the immortal cultivator can be seen walking into the house without a trace.

Obviously, this house is not as simple as it appears on the surface.

After pondering for a moment, Chu Mu stepped forward and opened the door. The layout was similar to that of an ordinary house, except that there were two men in black standing on the side of the house.

After a little perception, the mana fluctuations on the thirteenth level of Qi training are very clear.

"Fellow Daoist, please show the Jade Order."

One of the men stretched out his hand.

Handing out the jade token, the man glanced at it, and immediately, the two men in black each took a step aside.

Behind it, the original wall seemed to lose its camouflage following this step and turned into a wooden door.

"Please."

The man handed over the jade token and raised his hand as a signal.

Push open the wooden door, and there is a passage extending underground.

The tunnel is very long, and the end is hard to see with the naked eye. On the walls on both sides of the tunnel, fluorescent stones are inlaid, illuminating the tunnel brightly.

Chu Mu pondered for a while, but in the end, he walked down the tunnel without too much entanglement.

At a distance of about 200 meters, the end of the tunnel is clearly visible.

In the end, a stone gate at the end also appeared in front of my eyes.

Without hesitation, he pushed open the stone door, and what came into view was not the emptiness as expected, but a deep curved corridor.

Outside the door, a woman dressed in a palace seems to have been waiting.

"Fellow Daoist, please."

The woman raised her hand.

Under the guidance of the woman, Chu Mu finally stopped in front of another door.

The woman pushed open the door, then raised her hand to signal.

This time, it was a room, and...

Looking at the scene in front of him, Chu Mu seemed a little dazed.

The room is not big, the length and width are only about ten feet, but the inside of the room is not a stone wall, but a floor-to-ceiling window that occupies the entire wall.

Through the crystal clear glass, there is a circular dome that looks like the black market above.

Under the dome, on the entire wall of the cave, there are circles of rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows like his, surrounding them all the way to the ground.

At the bottom of the cave, there is a red circular high platform. On the high platform, several immortal cultivators can be clearly seen busy on it.

Chu Mu looked at the floor-to-ceiling windows of the surrounding rooms. The crystal-clear glass seemed to be engraved with some kind of partition restriction. From the inside to the outside, it was clear at a glance, but from the outside, the inside was blurred.

"Dare to ask, friend, is there anything that needs to be entrusted to our bank for auction?"

Outside the door, a woman in palace attire seemed to be asking a question as a matter of routine.

Chu Mu was about to refuse, but then he looked towards the room in front of him.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows is a set of tables and chairs, and there are melons, fruits and wine on the tables.

The entire room is also obviously paved with some kind of partition prohibition, which can block the peeping of the spiritual consciousness.

In other words, when he was sitting in it, the other guests didn't know who he was.

The only auction house that knew about it only knew his false identity.

But in Fangshi, out of habitual caution, he changed his figure many times.

In other words, even the auction house does not know his true identity.

As for using other means to peek at the reality under the disguise of the phantom face, if he really wanted to, it was impossible for him not to notice it.

If you didn't notice it, it means that the auction house didn't do this.

But judging from the scale of this auction house, the possibility that Zhao Tang mentioned by Wang Mazi, even his father, the foundation-builder cultivator, can influence him is obviously not great.

Even if the news leaks later, it will have some impact, but by then, he must have left the black market long ago...

"This, can it be auctioned?"

Thinking of this, Chu Mu casually threw out a jade bottle.

Ten Yangmai Pills with one pill pattern, according to the market price, are more than six hundred spirit stones.

And he... has more than 40 pieces.

"Dan Wen... yes, yes."

The woman in palace attire was obviously surprised, and looked at Chu Mu with a little more respect.

"Let's auction off three bottles."

Having made up his mind, Chu Mu didn't have too many scruples, and threw out two more bottles.

Right now, the auction house in front of me is almost at the bottom of the black market. It is obvious that there is a lot of energy behind it for such a big battle.

Undoubtedly, there will be many things that are rarely seen on weekdays.

But in his pocket, there were only more than 1000 spirit stones left.

Thirty pieces of Yangmai pills with one pill pattern, if auctioned, would cost two thousand spirit stones.

The property that can be auctioned can also be much richer.

If you really meet something you fancy, you won't miss it again because of Lingshi!
"Fellow Daoist... Senior, please wait a moment."

"The alchemist from our bank will come over soon. After confirming the elixir, I will sign a contract with you, senior."

The woman clutched the three jade bottles tightly, and her speech was a little awkward.

"According to...according to the bank's regulations, the lot will be charged a 5.00% handling fee based on the final transaction price..."

"Row."

Chu Mu nodded, moved a chair and sat down, waiting quietly.

After a while, the sound of hurried footsteps came from the corridor.

What followed was an urgent and expectant voice.

"Yi Danwen Yangmai Pill? Three bottles at once?"

"Hurry up, show me!"
