Of course, Deng Mingyuan didn't know how Wu went to Cangnan, so Ye Kong wouldn't ask. Ye Kong mainly asked him about the Black Robe.
It turned out that the Black Robe was a very hidden underground trading center, which was the black market. The name Black Robe came from the fact that everyone wore black clothes, so no one knew who they were.
Deng Mingyuan said that everything was sold here, even the female slaves of the Shadow Clan, who were restricted outside, were sold here. However, although the things here were good, the prices were more expensive than outside.
As long as one had spirit stones, there were many things they could do here. Not only could they trade, but they could also cultivate in their own rooms, which was absolutely safe. If one had a grudge with someone, they could even hire an assassin to kill the enemy. As long as one had spirit stones, even a late stage Soul Formation Divine Lord could be killed.
"Even a late stage Soul Formation expert can be killed?" Ye Kong was speechless. "What realm are those assassins at? They're so awesome?"
"What is this?" Deng Mingyuan said, "I also know that the Black Robe has something even more powerful, which is the Mustard Seed Time Space. One year outside is ten years inside!"
The knowledgeable Ye Kong was also amazed. This was the ability to change the laws of time. If a cultivator went in and the other person only spent one year outside, but he had already cultivated for ten years, there was no comparison at all. His cultivation was ten times faster than others!
"Then how can I enter the Mustard Seed Time Space you mentioned? You should have to pay a lot of spirit stones. "Ye Kong thought that if he could go in and form his core, wouldn't that be the best thing?
Deng Mingyuan smiled and shook his head. "I only heard about it. These things are only enjoyed by the highest level disciples of the Black Robe. It's not enough to just pay spirit stones. It must be approved by the elders. Junior disciples like us have no chance."
After Deng Mingyuan finished speaking, he laughed again and said, "Ye Kong, you are also not simple. A Fake Dan Stage Perfected Master can take out nearly 30 million spirit stones to help Brother Wuzhi pay off his debt. Not simple, not simple."
Ye Kong sighed, "I won all of them in the Iron Arm Devil Sect's Martial Arts Competition last year. Sigh, Elder Deng, you don't know this. I won these Spirit Stones, but I was hated by all the cultivators in the Iron Painting Sect. It's not worth it. If I didn't want to repay this debt, I would never do this."
Deng Mingyuan asked, "How many spirit stones do you have left? Do you want to take a look at the market?"
Ye Kong was also very interested. "Alright, although I'm very poor now, I still want to see what's there. That's why I have the urge to earn spirit stones."
"Alright." Deng Mingyuan stood up, walked to the wall with Ye Kong, and said, "Cancel the reception room and enter the trading space."
Then, a whirlpool appeared on the black wall. The whirlpool became bigger and bigger, and finally formed an arched door. Behind the door was a passage suspended in the void.
Ye Kong and Deng Mingyuan walked on the wide white light path and could not help but say, "This The Black Robe is so magical. Even a passage seems so majestic. I wonder which realm it is in?"
Deng Mingyuan said with a smile, "That's not something we can know. I've discussed this with Brother Unknown in the past. I believe that the Black Cloak Demon Sect is established in the Firmament Underworld, but Brother Unknown believes that it's established in some independent space."
Ye Kong thought about it and said, "I don't think it is. I think the Black Robe is not real and does not need a space to build it. This is just a virtual scene."
As Ye Kong spoke, they had already arrived at the trading hall. There were not many people in the hall. It was different from the hubbub of voices that Ye Kong had imagined. Other than more than ten big black stone balls, there were also more than ten black-clothed people. It was extremely quiet.
Ye Kong's voice was very abrupt in the originally quiet trading hall. At this moment, a black-clothed man took the initiative to walk over and said with a smile, "Daoist friend, is this your first time here? Thinking back, when I first came here, I kept guessing about the same question. "
Ye Kong nodded and said, "That's right. It is indeed my first time here."
The black-clothed man said again, "I heard that our sect has not recruited new people for decades. How did this Daoist friend join?"
Deng Mingyuan hurriedly said respectfully, "This must be a senior. My good friend inherited his wife's grandfather's token. I can guarantee with my life that he is definitely not a spy."
The black-clothed man hurriedly waved his hand. "Don't be nervous. I mean no harm. I am just curious."
Ye Kong said, "This is a good trading place. Everyone should like it. How could there be spies? We should recruit more people to trade here and make the market more prosperous."
The black-clothed man immediately said, "That's not appropriate. Daoist friend, you have just arrived and do not know the rules. Our sect has been hidden from everyone since it was first established. There is a reason why we have not recruited new disciples for decades. So, Daoist friend, it is better for you to keep this a secret. Otherwise, it will bring you fatal trouble. I heard that the highest level of our sect is an existence that surpasses the Soul Formation stage."
Ye Kong hurriedly bowed. "Thank you for your reminder, Senior. I am a new disciple, Number 9527. In the future, I hope that Senior will guide me."
Ye Kong's words meant that he was certain that this person was The Black Robe's senior.
Indeed, the black-clothed man smiled and said, "Daoist friend, you are indeed smart. You can call me Number 17."
Ye Kong was 9527, and Deng Mingyuan was 9546. Yet, this person was Number 17. Clearly, he was an amazing person.
Ye Kong and Deng Mingyuan hurriedly said, "Greetings, Elder."
The man smiled. "Don't be like this. Our sect is different from other sects. Everyone who wears black is equal. The Elders here are also equal to the lowest-level disciples. On the contrary, the Elders still serve the disciples."
Deng Mingyuan found it hard to accept this. In other sects, the disciples were respectful to the Elders and did not dare to disobey them. How could they say that the Elders serve the disciples here?
But Ye Kong came from Earth, so he could easily accept this point of view. He smiled and said, "As the saying goes, food and clothing are the parents. The Elders serve the disciples. The key is that they have Spirit Stones."
Deng Mingyuan wiped the sweat off his forehead. Elder Seventeen, however, laughed. "Daoist friend is indeed a straightforward person. You are right. As long as you can pay the price, this Elder can also serve you."
Elder Seventeen laughed and left. Only then did Deng Mingyuan pat his chest. "That was close. I have come here so many times, but I did not expect to meet an Elder."
Ye Kong said, "Everyone is dressed in black. Even if you met them, you would not know."
Deng Mingyuan was curious again. "Then how did you guess that he is an important figure in The Black Robe?"
Ye Kong said, "You and I are both disciples of The Black Robe, but we only treat this place as a trading place. That's why we always talk about The Black Robe … But that black-clothed man, he kept talking about his sect. Obviously, he has a strong sense of identity with this place. He also treats this place as his own sect. So, I guess he is very likely an important figure."
