Chapter 36

In the following days, Lan Hong came looking for him a few more times, but Zhan Chen either pretended to be stupid or didn't know anything. This caused the old fellow to be helpless against him.

But this kind of life was really not easy. He felt that the Qiankun bag in his bosom was a hot potato, causing him to be restless when he cultivated.

The other gold notes, silver notes, primordial stones, medicinal pills and so on were not important, but the martial skills and the Qiankun bag itself could be used as evidence.

Those martial skills, in fact, he had already grasped them. But since he chose the metal attribute Zhen Qi, the fire attribute 《Fire Thunder Sword》 and the wind attribute 《Flying Catkin Sword Art》 did not have much meaning to him, and could only display the power of the yellow level middle grade non-attribute martial skills.

"I also need a metal attribute sword art and a sword technique, those things in Lan Xing's Qiankun bag should be able to help me exchange for them; and the Hundred Refined Sword is not suitable for me to use anymore, I need to exchange for a weapon commonly used by Martial Masters, made from a thousand years old cold iron – Cold Iron Sword!"

"I need to go to the market and deal with the things that need to be dealt with, don't leave any traces." Thinking like this, Zhan Chen walked towards the market of Shannan Town.

Shannan Town was the door closest to the Golden Elephant Sect, Zhan Chen often went in and out, so he was already very familiar with it. And the market of Shannan Town was also famous in this whole area.

Not only the disciples of the Golden Elephant Sect often visited here, but also many of the nearby small sects, rogue cultivators, and even the Flowing Water Sect, Rejuvenation Sect, and other sects that were on equal footing with the Golden Elephant Sect often visited here.

Among them, the Rejuvenation Sect and Fire Cloud Sect were the most frequent, because the Rejuvenation Sect was good at concocting medicinal pills, and often brought the refined medicinal pills to sell in the market of various places; while the Fire Cloud Sect was the best at concocting, and was good at creating all kinds of divine weapons.

In the market, there were many shops and pedestrians, everywhere one could hear the spirit of shouting, and fierce bargaining sounds between customers and merchants. But these were not enough to attract Zhan Chen's attention, he came to a dark corner, took out a black cloak from his bag, and put it on, so that people would not recognize his face.

Next, he passed through a winding path, came to the front of an inconspicuous small building, turned his head, looked around, and saw that there was no suspicious person, then walked in.

Although the small building was small, it had a different world, with a long passage leading to the underground. From time to time, there would be people like Zhan Chen, who covered their faces and shuttled back and forth.

This was the most mysterious place in the market of Shannan Town. Here, many unclean things were traded every day. Most of them came from killing people and robbing them, or from exploring ruins.

This was Zhan Chen's first time here. He had only heard about it from others in the past, but he had never explored it.

He passed through the long staircase and came to the underground. He was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him. A spacious passageway extended into the distance. Both sides of the passageway were densely hung with lights. Even underground, the black market was brightly lit.

There were shops on both sides of the passageway, and customers were coming and going. It was very lively. Zhan Chen came to the front of a shop, looked up, and saw the words "Acquisition Shop" written on it, and walked in.

Zhan Chen arrived in front of a shop. He raised his head and saw the words "Acquisition Shop" written on it. He then walked in.

Zhan Chen did not answer him immediately, but looked around. Most of the people trading in the hall on the first floor were Martial Disciples, and there were a few Martial Masters like him.

Zhan Chen did not answer him immediately. Instead, he looked around. Most of the people trading in the hall on the first floor were Martial Disciples. There were also a few beginner Martial Masters like him.

The assistant looked at him up and down, and said, "Sir, you are only a Martial Master. If you have anything, you can sell it on the first floor. Our money is enough to pay you."

The shop assistant looked him up and down and said, "Dear customer, you are only a beginner Martial Master. If you have anything, you can sell it on the first floor. We have enough money to pay you."

"Sir, you are only a Martial Master. If you have anything, you can sell it on the first floor. We have enough money to pay you." As Zhan Chen spoke, he took out his Qiankun bag, shook it in front of him, and immediately put it back.

The shop assistant was immediately dumbfounded and exclaimed, "A Qiankun Bag!"

"Not only the Cosmos Sack, there are also a few Superior Grade Yellow Ranked Martial Techniques and Master Breaking Pills. Do you have the money to pay me?"

He hurriedly put on a smile and said, "Sir, please don't leave. I will go and call our shopkeeper immediately!"

He quickly put on a smiling face and said, "Sir, please don't leave. I'll go call our shopkeeper right away!"

After throwing down these words, he ran up the stairs like a wisp of smoke. Not long after, a middle-aged man with a big belly walked down the stairs under his guidance. He came before Zhan Chen and cupped his hands, saying, "Honored guest, this humble one's surname is Chen. Please come upstairs! The price is negotiable.

Zhan Chen could not see through the other party's cultivation, but it did not seem to be higher than a Martial Master. He nodded his head and followed Shopkeeper Chen upstairs to a private room.

After the two of them were seated, Shopkeeper Chen poured a cup of tea for Zhan Chen and said, "Please have some tea."

Zhan Chen took a sip and felt the fragrance permeate the room. His entire body felt comfortable as he exclaimed, "Good tea!"

"Haha, I have let you see a joke. This is an Inferior Grade Spirit Tea. If consumed for a long period of time, it will improve a cultivator's physique and increase their cultivation."

Zhan Chen was astonished. Even drinking tea was so particular. However, he still remembered what he was here for today. Thus, he put down the teacup and took out his Cosmos Bag, "Shopkeeper, the things I want to sell today are not a small sum. Do you have the money to buy them? I want Primal Stones to pay for them. "

Shopkeeper Chen smiled and took out his Cosmos Bag as well, "Sir, rest assured. I have a lot of Primal Stones."

Zhan Chen nodded his head and no longer hesitated. He placed all the Martial Techniques, Master Breaking Pills, and the Cosmos Bag on the table and said, "Shopkeeper Chen, let's be straightforward. How many Primal Stones are these things worth?"

Shopkeeper Chen was also stunned by the pile of things in front of him. He could not help but stand up with a look of desire on his face. Every one of these things was a treasure. Normal loose cultivators would not be able to get their hands on them. As long as he sold them, he would be able to make a huge profit.

This look was noticed by the attentive Zhan Chen. He raised his teacup and took another sip.

Shopkeeper Chen sat down and said with a face full of smiles, "An Inferior Grade Cosmos Bag is worth 500 Inferior Grade Primal Stones. This Master Breaking Pill is worth 100 Inferior Grade Primal Stones. A Superior Grade Yellow Ranked Martial Technique is worth 200 Inferior Grade Primal Stones. A Medial Grade Yellow Ranked Martial Technique is worth 100 Inferior Grade Primal Stones. All of these add up to 1800 Inferior Grade Primal Stones."

"I want 20 Medial Grade Primal Stones." Zhan Chen tried to bargain.

"What? That's not good. "

"Then forget it. I'll go sell them at another shop." Zhan Chen pretended to put away the things on the table.

"Good! Sold for 20 Medial Grade Primal Stones! "The shopkeeper said with a pained expression as he took out 20 Medial Grade Primal Stones from his Cosmos Bag.

This was also the first time Zhan Chen had seen a Medial Grade Primal Stone. It was the same size as a Low Grade Primal Stone, but its luster was much higher. It emitted a pearl-like luster and contained a hundred times more Spirit Qi than a Low Grade Primal Stone.

Zhan Chen put away the Medial Grade Primal Stones and turned to leave. However, he heard shopkeeper Chen call out from behind him, "Sir, wait."

He stopped in his tracks and turned his head to ask, "Is there anything else?"

Shopkeeper Chen took out a golden card from his Cosmos Bag and gave it to him, "Sir, this is our shop's VIP card. Please accept it. If you have any good things in the future, please come to our shop again. At that time, we will pay you 10% more."

Zhan Chen couldn't help but smile as he thought, "I didn't think that selling things here would be able to attract a VIP." Thus, he reached out his hand and took the VIP card. He stuffed it into his robes and said, "That's easy."

"Then please take care!"

After Zhan Chen left the shop, he left the black market. He put away his black cloak and revealed his original appearance. He felt relaxed as all the evidence had been taken care of by him. Even if that old man Lan Hong continued to investigate, he wouldn't be able to find anything.
