Treasure Forest.
It was located at the intersection of the Green Peak, Black Army, and Feng Chang Empire. A long time ago, it was just a small forest. But after the three empires were formed, this small forest in the middle of the three countries started to become a different world, finally gaining the name of Treasure Forest.
As the name implied, a place like Treasure Forest naturally had treasures, and these treasures had nothing to do with normal people. Recording pearls, recording devices, sound tracks, these little tools that only had special abilities from soul power would not appear in the Treasure Forest. What appeared in the Treasure Forest were things that truly belonged to the world of xiuzhe, like shen weapons, or soul grain pills.
These things were extremely important to xiuzhe, and also to the empires. Compared to normal swords, spears, arrows, and crossbows, shen weapons were more high-end and sharp weapons. The three empires all hoped that their own country would have more, and other countries would not have a single one. So in reality, shen weapons were prohibited from being shipped between the three empires. Even the Precious Treasure Pavilion, which had the largest shen weapon business, could not sell the shen weapons found in the Black Army's territory to the Green Peak or the Que Yue Empire.
Of course, wishes were good, but shen weapons were targeted at high end customers. No matter which one of the Three Great Empires, it was very difficult for a powerful expert like the xiuzhe to seal off the entire border of such a long country. Those high peaks and ravines that could be called barriers for normal people were nothing to xiuzhe. It was not hard for some experts that had connected all four spirits to charge through some of the barriers.
But no matter what, the three empires had set down this policy. They did their best to suppress and clean up the xiuzhe that did this. Following the rise of high-level forces like the Black Army and the Protectorate Nation, cultivators were no longer able to cause trouble in the three empires. At this point, smuggling Divine Weapons across the country's borders had become a very risky thing to do. The Forest of Treasures was born under such circumstances. This intersection of the three empires would sink into a vicious cycle if they interfered. In the end, it became a lawless area and slowly became the largest shen weapon trading area on the continent.
Because it was a lawless area, people could do things freely here. Those without any power wanting to do business in the Treasure Forest, whether it was buying or selling, were like sheep entering a tiger's den. Therefore, the Treasure Forest could only be considered a low-end black market. As for the high-end market, it still depended on the Treasure Pavilion. Even if the circulation of Divine Weapons between countries was prohibited, those who had the strength and connections to read treasures would always have a way to carry goods. It was just that if it wasn't an extremely important business, they wouldn't take such a risk.
In the past two months, the business of the Precious Treasure Pavilion had suddenly become a mess. Outsiders didn't know the exact reason. They only knew that the Precious Treasure Pavilion was being ruthlessly targeted by various forces. As a result, a large number of divine weapons flowed out, and the black market in the Forest of Treasures immediately became extraordinarily lively. In these two months, there had been many Grade 5 Divine Weapons appearing here. One must know that before this, even Grade 4 Divine Weapons rarely appeared in the Treasure Forest. Now, the influx of Level Five Divine Weapons had caused a storm of blood. In the Forest of Treasures, possessing a jade was not a crime, but possessing a jade without strength was a crime punishable by death.
Many rookies didn't know about this, but Jin, who had been in the Forest of Treasures for 20 years, knew this very well. She would never let anything that was more valuable than her own ability appear in her hands, whether it was to buy or sell. However, in the past two months, the chaos in the Forest of Treasures was something that even a veteran like her could not adapt to. Jin had already made up her mind to quickly find a place to avoid these chaotic days after the batch of Divine Weapons in her hands left. Otherwise …
Xiu!
An arrow suddenly shot out from behind a tree. Jin, who was always vigilant, twisted her body and dodged it. In the next second, her figure had already appeared in front of the figure behind the tree.
The other party revealed a surprised and nervous expression. According to his understanding, Jin shouldn't have this kind of strength, nor should she have this kind of reaction and speed that surprised him.
As if she understood the other party's expression, the corner of Jin's mouth raised into a mocking smile.
"Stupid." After she scolded, she raised her hand and took off the other party's head. Everyone thought that she relied on cautiousness, experience, and connections to survive in the Forest of Treasures for 20 years. However, they didn't know that the biggest trump card that protected Jin was her strength, which was underestimated by everyone. When she first came to the Forest of Treasures 20 years ago, Jin was very good at disguising herself. This allowed her to win countless times by pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger. Now, relying on the resources that she had obtained in the past 20 years, she had just broken through to the Four Spirits. This kind of realm was extremely rare among the practitioners in the Forest of Treasures. But even so, Jin still didn't take off her disguise. She still didn't give up on being careful. In the recent chaotic situation, she still thought that hiding was the best strategy.
However, some people couldn't learn this.
Jin looked at the head that fell to the ground in front of her with a cold expression. She recognized this person and had interacted with him a few times. She didn't even mind that he called her a friend. However, in the Forest of Treasures, there weren't many valuable friends, but there were many friends who were open to money. The person whose head fell to the ground was in the Realm of Three Spirits. He was considered the number one expert in the Forest of Treasures. Now, he had evil intentions towards Jin. Jin had seen this kind of thing many times. No matter who it was, she would kill anyone who attacked her. Only then would she not expose her strongest trump card. The techniques he used were usually beheading or stabbing the heart, which were commonly seen killing moves. Jin couldn't remember how many of these people died in her hands. She only knew that very few people suspected her. Of course, this was also related to the fact that the people in the Forest of Treasures didn't care about the life and death of others. In this place, there were cases of people killing and robbing, or being killed for robbing.
But now, it was really chaotic!
Not far away, there was a scream, followed by the disappearance of a soul power. Jin hid behind a tree. She didn't want to show her head or be curious at all. She just waited until there was no more movement over there. Then, she walked out and checked the body of the person she killed.
"Bad luck." There was nothing on the body. It seemed that this person came this time to get something for nothing. It was a pity that he chose Jin as his target. He thought that he was familiar enough with Jin. Maybe he had prepared for a long time for today, but he still misunderstood Jin's strength. This mistake caused him to be beheaded.
Jin left the body in disgust. Soon, her figure appeared in the center of the Forest of Treasures.
"Jin." Many people waved at her and greeted her. Jin nodded and smiled.
This was the trading area in the Forest of Treasures. But don't think that it was safe here. Even in this place, there were people fighting and killing, but very few people would step in to help. It was a strange sight to see people fighting to the death while negotiating with each other until their spittle flew all over the place. But now, the number of killings that took place here had decreased, because people gradually realized that killing in public wasn't a good thing. It was not because someone would hinder you, but because there were too many people who would kill you when you were at the end of your rope.
Jin greeted the people she knew along the way and walked to the tree she often occupied. Here, a tree was a stall. No one said that a certain tree could only belong to a certain person. But Jin was really experienced in the Forest of Treasures, so her tree was usually left. Even if it was occupied, she wouldn't say much. In her opinion, this kind of fight was meaningless.
Nowadays, there were more people in the Forest of Treasures. Jin saw from afar that her tree had been occupied. So she stopped and didn't go over. Instead, she looked around for another place. At this time, a skinny practitioner jumped in front of Jin under a small tree.
"Jin." He called.
"What's up, Skinny Dog?" Jin called him by his nickname.
"There are a few fat sheep in the forest today. Many people went there." Skinny dog said.
"Oh? Where did they come from? How do you know they are fat sheep? "Jin said.
"They came from the border of the Dark Army. They look like small children. They all look clean. I guess they are from the Dark Army City. The Treasure Pavilion in the city is closed, so they came to the Forest of Treasures." Skinny dog said.
"You know about the Forest of Treasures, so you're quite knowledgeable. How is that insensible?" Jin said.
"Who comes to the Forest of Treasures carries divine weapons in their hands? Does he think he is selling candied fruits on the street? "Skinny dog said.
"He really doesn't understand. Pitiful." Jin was a bit sympathetic.
"Jin, do you want to go take a look?" Skinny dog said.
Jin just looked around and there were no empty trees. After thinking about it, she nodded: "Let's go take a look."
"Wow? Jin is in a good mood today! "Skinny dog was surprised. Jin from the Forest of Treasures had always been a businesswoman and never messed around. This was something that everyone knew.
