Seeing Nie Tian stand up, Meng Fanchen and the rest stood up as well. Their eyes were filled with shock and worry.
The black market was a forbidden area in the Xumi Spirit Capital. Once entered, even if Nie Tian was a red-robed elder, it would be useless. The black market was not under the control of the Alchemist Guild or the four great families.
"Elder Nie, it's too dangerous for you to go to the black market alone. I'll send someone to go with you." Meng Fanchen didn't try to persuade Nie Tian.
Nie Tian wasn't the kind of person who could be persuaded. Once he decided on something, he wouldn't change his mind.
Even if the black market was a mountain of daggers, a sea of fire and a bottomless abyss, he had to go.
"I'll go with Mister Nie." Just as Meng Fanchen finished his sentence, Ye Linyun said, "Don't worry, Old Meng. I'll definitely ensure Mister Nie's safety."
Meng Fanchen nodded. With Ye Linyun by Nie Tian's side, he was much more at ease.
"Alright, let's go." Nie Tian nodded to Ye Linyun and prepared to leave.
"Big brother Nie Tian!" Just as Nie Tian and the rest walked out of the hall, a clear voice rang out. Nie Yurou ran over.
"Ninth sister." Nie Tian caressed Nie Yurou's delicate, jade-like face, a happy smile appearing at the corner of his mouth as he teased, "You've grown quite a bit taller and fatter."
"Big Brother Nie Tian, you're going out again?" Seeing that Nie Tian was about to leave, Nie Yurou had an unhappy expression on her face, her little mouth pouting.
Nie Tian said helplessly, "I have some matters to attend to. I'll be back soon."
"Alright." Nie Yurou nodded obediently and said seriously, "Then when Big brother Nie Tian comes back, you must play with Rou 'er. Rou' er hasn't been with Big brother Nie Tian for a long time."
"En." Nie Tian nodded helplessly.
"Then promise." Nie Yurou smiled slyly.
"I promise." Nie Tian pinched the little girl's cheek and nodded.
The crowd burst into laughter when they saw this.
After a while, Nie Tian and Ye Linyun arrived at Xumi Spirit Capital's Wu City.
Martial markets. Every larger city had them, and Xu Mi Ling City was no exception.
"Xu Mi Spirit Capital's martial market is indeed different." Nie Tian looked at the bustling market in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.
The market in front of him was very big, and it was crowded with people. As far as the eye could see, there was a dense mass of people. However, this place was very quiet. There wasn't much noise, and it seemed to be orderly.
Arriving at the entrance of Wu City, Nie Tian paid the entrance fee and entered directly.
Xu Mi Ling City's martial market was the same as normal martial markets. It was divided into five regions: the medicine market, the soldier market, the beast market, the slave market, and the auction house.
Nie Tian and Elder Ye first walked around the medicine market and auction house to try their luck. Unfortunately, their luck was not good, and they did not find the Amethyst Flowing Orchid.
"Looks like I can only go to the black market." Nie Tian sighed helplessly and prepared to go to the black market.
Under the guidance of a Wu City employee, Nie Tian and Elder Ye walked towards a secret place in Wu City.
After passing through a deep secret passage, Nie Tian and Elder Ye came to a tall black wall.
"Hmm?" Nie Tian was slightly startled, because in front of him was a dead end, and the black wall blocked the way.
The Wu City employee chuckled, took out a token, and shouted towards the black wall: "Customer!"
"Boom!" A few seconds later, the black wall shook, and actually automatically separated, revealing a narrow passage that could only allow one person to pass through.
Nie Tian took a look, and could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. In front of him was a passage that was about a hundred meters long. This undoubtedly meant that the thickness of the black wall was a hundred meters, which was truly inconceivable.
The black wall seemed to be made of special materials, and looked even harder than black iron.
Nie Tian estimated that even a Heavenly Emperor Stage powerhouse might not be able to break through the black wall.
"Please." The Wu City employee smiled strangely, and without even asking for the tip, turned around and left.
Nie Tian and Elder Ye glanced at each other, and without hesitation, walked into the passage.
Entering the passage, Nie Tian immediately felt a suffocating pressure. It turned out that this passage was actually a ten thousand times gravity array!
Cultivators below the True Element Boundary could not pass through the black wall.
The passage was only a hundred meters long, but Nie Tian and Elder Ye had to walk for several minutes before they came out.
Walking out of the passage, Nie Tian let out a long breath, finally feeling a lot more relaxed.
"Token!" Just as they stood still, two black-armoured guards came over and said indifferently.
Nie Tian's Divine Sense swept over the black-armoured guards, and he could not help but be surprised. Unexpectedly, they were at the True Element Fifth Stage.
These two were obviously ordinary guards, but they were actually at the True Element Fifth Stage. This black market's security was very strict, no less than the Alchemist Guild's.
"You two, this is our first time coming to the black market, so there are some rules we don't understand. May I ask what kind of token you are talking about?" Nie Tian said as he took out several Spirit Cores, all of which were Fourth-Order Spirit Cores.
The two black-armoured guards saw that Nie Tian was very tactful, so they smiled and took the Spirit Cores, saying, "Come with us."
Under the guidance of the two black-armoured guards, Nie Tian and Elder Ye came to a seemingly dilapidated old building.
After entering, under the guidance of the black-armoured guards, they spent a lot of money and finally obtained the so-called token.
Nie Tian looked at the token in his hand, almost going crazy with anger. It turned out to be a very ordinary piece of black iron, square in shape, with nothing on it.
"This piece of scrap iron cost me a million Low-Grade Spirit Stones, fuck!" Nie Tian cursed in his heart, venting his dissatisfaction.
"The token in your hands is a Black Iron Token, it allows you to freely enter and exit the black market's ordinary places." One of the black-armoured guards casually said.
"Freely enter and exit the ordinary places?" Nie Tian was surprised, his complexion was ugly, but he still had to suppress the anger in his heart and asked, "If I want to enter the black market's auction house, what kind of token do I need?"
"You want to buy herbs?" The black-armoured guard was slightly surprised, his eyes became suspicious, and he stiffly said, "The herbs auctioned are all in the Asura Auction House, if you want to go there, you need at least a Purple Gold Token."
"How do I get a Purple Gold Token?" Nie Tian hurriedly asked.
The black-armoured guard frowned, and indifferently said, "You can't get a Purple Gold Token, you need someone from the black market to be your guarantor, only then can you get a Purple Gold Token."
"This …" Nie Tian was a bit embarrassed, and said, "Are you willing to be my guarantor?"
As he spoke, Nie Tian directly took out a rank five Spirit Core.
But the guard didn't even look at it, and said Coldly, "I don't have the qualifications to be your guarantor."
After speaking, the black-armoured guard didn't stay any longer, and directly left.
Nie Tian froze in place, his brows deeply furrowed.
"Mister Nie." Old Man Ye called out to Nie Tian, his eyes looking strangely at the place where the token was issued.
Nie Tian slightly shook his head, indicating that he couldn't.
Of course, he understood Old Man Ye's meaning, which was to directly rob.
If it was any other place, of course he could rob, but in the black market, this kind of action was tantamount to seeking death.
Since the black market could exist in a place like Xu Mi Spiritual Capital, it naturally had its terrifying aspects, and it was definitely not a place where one could casually behave atrociously.
