Chapter 213: Chapter 126: Top Grade Magic Tool, That’s

Just How We Do it in the Black Market l

Translator: 549690339

The Great River District has a black market, a fact known to most people.

Or rather, there exists a black market in any district.

It is specifically designed for rogue cultivators to trade in items that are not quite presentable.

Take Wang Yuan for example, who has done dirty work for Broken Mountain Gang in the past.

However, most of the things he sold at the rogue cultivator markets were lower grade and medium-grade magic tools, knowledge regarding foundational beginner’s techniques, or books of lesser value such as “Records of the Customs of Six Realms”.

Given the vast influence of the Broken Mountain Gang, was this the level of illicit items they needed to handle?

Obviously not!

Items that were a bit more high-end could easily involve enemies.

Hence, most of them were tossed into the black market for transactions.

However, even black markets had their highs and lows!

Lower-end black markets were probably just organized amongst a group of rogue Qi Refinement cultivators, the most valuable items involved in those were at most Ascendant Grade Magic Tools or top-rated first-order Spirit Materials.

Most of the participants involved were Qi Refinement cultivators in the middle or later stages.

However, today, none of the participants in the Zhenlong Black Market Luo Chen was attending were weak!

Luo Chen’s spiritual perception was extremely sharp. Despite the majority of the dozens of people at the gathering, like him, having restrained their breaths,

still, more than half of them gave him a sense of danger.

And currently, the ones who could make him feel threatened were entities at the Ninth Level Qi Refinement or above.

In other words, the majority of today’s participants were Ninth Level Qi Refinement Cultivators.

Furthermore, three individuals, who were sitting still there, did not dare to look directly.

They were three Foundation Establishment cultivators!

“Wasn’t it said that all of the Foundation Establishments in the Great River

District have gone to Golden Core Ruins?”

“Why are there three here!”

“Zeng Wen truly overestimated me, directly recommending me to come here.”

“What I wanted to go to was a lower-end black market!”

Luo Chen was complaining wildly in his mind.

With the arrival of two more cultivators, the main door was tightly shut.

Among the three Foundation Establishments, one individual wearing a golden mask, stood up.

He was lean and seemed like a remnant candle in the wind, but combined with his golden mask and the imposing aura of Foundation Establishment he exuded, no one dared to underestimate him.

With a slight clap of his hands, a series of ‘pitter-patter’ sounds echoed in the originally gloomy hall.

After that, more than ten glazed crystal lamps emitted a gentle light, illuminating the area in the very center as if it were daylight.

The golden animal skin carpet, the antique rosewood table, and a large compass with five different colors were displayed before everyone.

Upon seeing the compass, Luo Chen was startled.

A Magic Item!

The host daringly displayed the Magic Item right in front of everyone.

Was it deterrence? Or did he have other uses?

He inconspicuously observed the others and found that, except for a few cultivators who accidentally revealed fluctuations in their mind, most people were quietly sitting in their chairs.

It seemed like these people were already used to seeing strange things and knew there would be a Magic Item there?

All of them are old timers!

So, those few people who were accidentally shocked, like him, were they newcomers?

As he observed his surroundings, the lean Foundation Establishment Cultivator cleared his throat twice.

“I am Tian Xingzi, the master of the Zhenlong Black Market, and I will be responsible for conducting today’s transactions.”

“I am pleased to see many old friends and welcome new ones who join.”

“The rules of this market are simple, first, the host’s items for auction are Cultivation resources. Those interested can bid. If you lack Spirit Stones, you can also bid with equivalent resources. As for whether the resources are worth the corresponding Spirit Stones, I can make the judgment. I trust everyone can believe in my discernment.”

“The second stage, is for everyone to freely display and bid for items. The highest bidder wins. If anyone doubts the authenticity of the auction item, you can ask me to judge. If you don’t trust me, this Five-Color Treasure Luo Pan can also give a satisfactory answer.”

When he spoke, Tian Xingzi’s hand fell on the large Five-Color Luo Pan.

“However, if you want to use the Five-Color Treasure Luo Pan, you’ll need to submit a fee of ten Spirit Stones each time.”

“To prevent any new friends from misunderstanding this Magic Item, I’ll briefly introduce it.”

“The Five-Color Treasure Luo Pan, is a product of the tool casting master Hu Yan Zhuo from Tian Fan City. It’s a lower-grade Magic Item. It can identify Spirit Materials, Magic Tools, Elixirs… You can say that it can provide a relatively accurate appraisal for any third-order or lower treasures.”

Is it Hu Yan Zhuo again?

Hearing this name, Luo Chen’s heart skipped a beat.

He remembered that Mi Shuhua’s Sky Moon Purple Gold Wheel and his own Four Symbols Tripod seemed to come from the same person.

This person is an absolute casting maniac, with such a high output!

“Alright, that ends the introduction of the Magic Tool. The last stage is for everyone to trade freely. The pricing during the trading process is unrestricted, and you can also use the Five-Color Treasure Luo Pan. Still, the fee remains the same, ten Spirit Stones per use.”

After stating a pile of rules and regulations, Tian Xingzi paused for a moment.

Seeing no one questioning, he contentedly stroked the beard under his mask.

“Then, let’s begin the trade!”

With these words, the atmosphere in the spacious hall, which was over a dozen meters wide, became solemn.

Amid the somber atmosphere, there was an indefinable sense of eager anticipation.

Luo Chen, sitting in the corner, keenly noticed this odd atmosphere.

Could it be that today, on the Zhenlong Black Market, there was something good that many Qi Refinement cultivators were looking forward to?

“The first item up for auction, Green Musk Aggregation Jiao Banner, a top-grade offensive Magic Tool!”
