The liveliness and prosperity of Flat Demon City did not attract Qin Xiao.
In terms of liveliness and prosperity, Flat Demon City was only about the same as Linfu City during its normal days.
Most of the people on the streets were first-step Heavenly Venerables. Second-step Heavenly Venerables were rare. Third-step Heavenly Venerables were almost non-existent.
The strength of a city could be judged from the number of people on the streets.
If most of the people on the streets were first-step and second-step Heavenly Venerables, and third-step Heavenly Venerables were also common, then this city must be very powerful.
Soon, the group arrived at a black market.
The so-called black market here was not illegal, but because there were many stalls here that sold antiques. There was a lot of turnover, so it was called the black market.
Lin Xian introduced it to everyone. "This is one of the more famous places in Flat Demon City. People are used to calling it the black market. It's also known as Treasure Street.
"Because street stalls are allowed here, many people can bring whatever they want to sell here to set up street stalls. If we want to sell, we can also set up street stalls here.
"Moreover, the things here are more messy. Many antiques are found from unknown places. Some of them are very ancient, and no one can recognize what they are. Some of them are even buried with powerhouses. They were dug up and sold here.
"It's precisely because there are many things of unknown origin here that the black market is called.
"A lot of things that are stolen, robbed, or dug up will flow into this place. There's also an unwritten rule for people who come here to buy and sell things, and that is to leave without asking where the things came from. If you've taken a fancy to it, you can complete a transaction after negotiating a price.
"This place is also under the protection of Flat Demon City's City Lord. Everything that enters the black market can be sold, and no one dares to cause trouble here.
"Although the things in this black market are more messy, there are still some good things that come out from time to time. Some people have even bought fragments of holy relics in the black market.
"Therefore, the black market is also called Treasure Street by many people. Indeed, many people have found treasures in the black market. "
Qin Xiao had seen a few similar black markets before, so he did not find it novel at all.
On the other hand, the people from High Mountain Town were curious.
After entering the black market, it was indeed bustling with activity. Huge squares were connected by streets, forming a huge market.
In those huge plazas, there were many street stalls. As far as the eye could see, there were street stalls everywhere. Aside from the sidewalk, the other places were basically filled with street stalls.
All kinds of people were strolling around the black market.
Quite a few shouts could be heard, and quite a few people stopped in front of the stalls to bargain with the stall owner, so this place was obviously very lively and noisy.
"Hey handsome guys, don't be in such a hurry to leave. Come and take a look. I have some freshly baked goods here. Hehe, this time, I've brought out some of my most precious goods. It doesn't matter if you buy it or not. Come and have a look, chat, and make friends. "
"Yo, this brother, I see that this Divine Soaring Wings is especially suitable for you. With this Divine Soaring Wings, your speed will increase by at least ten times, and your strength will definitely increase greatly. I usually sell this Divine Wings of Soaring Heaven for six thousand eight hundred. Today is a great discount, so it's only nine hundred and ninety eight. As long as …
Nine hundred and ninety eight, you can take this eye-catching immortal treasure away. "
"Nine hundred and ninety eight, you won't lose out or be cheated. You'll get real benefits. Opportunity knocks but once, it won't come again. Hey, big brother, don't go. We can still discuss the price. Six hundred and sixty, what do you think? "
"Hey, hey, two hundred and fifty eight, two hundred and fifty eight, let's discuss again."
"Last thirty thousand years, last thirty thousand years, because my wife ran away with her lover, dump the last of your stock, earn some money to buy some good immortal treasures, and settle the score with them. Drop price, really drop price. If you buy something expensive, you'll lose ten times. If you don't come and snatch it now, you won't have the chance. "
…
Listening to the stall owners shouting and saying some funny things, Qin Xiao couldn't help but laugh.
Those guys in High Mountain Town who hadn't seen the world were all full of curiosity, looking here and there. There were a few times when they were almost fooled and wanted to buy something, but in the end, they were all pulled back by Lin Xian.
"You guys, don't speak lightly of those stall owners. All of them are eloquent and can say all kinds of good things. "
"If you believe them, then you've been fooled. Most of the things in the black market are of lower quality. Don't listen to them, they're all flashy and worthless things. They're not worth much at all, and their effects are far from what they're boasting. "
"This is the specialty of the black market. If you want to sell something, you have to rely on your mouth. However, it can only fool those who don't have much experience. "
"Especially this time's big market. Many people are coming to Flat Demon Town for the first time, so they're easily fooled by those extravagant words."
Lin Xian explained to the crowd. Although some of the items were only sold for a few dozen chaos source stones, which wasn't too expensive, those items themselves were probably worth a few chaos source stones.
The dazzling array of items would indeed dazzle one's eyes.
Moreover, after the stall owner's boasting, it seemed that those things were really powerful.
Therefore, many people were hot-headed and bought it directly.
This was also one of the major characteristics of the black market. It was indeed quite interesting to look at.
The stall owners in the black market were all shouting with all their might, trying their best to boast about their items.
Even if it was a very ordinary item, they could boast about it to the point that the value of their items increased by many times.
However, there was an exception that Qin Xiao noticed. Qin Xiao saw a small stall in an inconspicuous corner. It was very quiet there.
Interestingly, the other stall owners were all shouting with all their might, and their business was booming.
Only that stall owner was half lying on a rattan chair and drinking wine leisurely. He didn't even look at the stall, as if the stall didn't belong to him at all.
It was also as if he wasn't there to sell his items, but to drink wine.
Such a maverick behavior could be considered a very strange scene.
But he didn't shout, and there weren't many items on his stall. There were only a dozen or so items, which formed a sharp contrast with the dazzling array of goods in other stalls.
Therefore, not many people went to his stall at all.
Some people only glanced at it out of curiosity before walking away. Very few people were willing to stop and watch.
It was a strange sight to set up a stall like this.
Qin Xiao noticed the stall owner. He was dressed in very simple clothes and looked like an old man over 60 years old. A strong sense of vicissitudes could be seen from him.
The traces of time were very heavy. At a glance, one could tell that he was an old man who had lived for a very long time.
In terms of aura, he felt that he was only a second-step Celestial Venerable. But what made Qin Xiao feel a little strange was that this aura didn't seem to be real.
Qin Xiao carefully sized up the old man for a while. For some reason, he felt that this old man wasn't simple and wasn't like what he appeared to be on the surface.
He felt that he couldn't see through this old man. He shouldn't be an ordinary second-step Celestial Venerable like he appeared to be.
If he wasn't a second-step Celestial Venerable, how powerful would he be to be able to hide his aura to the extent that Qin Xiao couldn't see through him?
In addition to this feeling, the old man's maverick behavior also made Qin Xiao feel that he couldn't see through him.
He didn't seem to be here to set up a stall. It was more like he was here to travel the world or to wait for a fated person.
Jiang Taigong was fishing, and those who were willing to take the bait were hooked.
Qin Xiao secretly observed for a while. There weren't many people passing by, and they all left after taking a few glances. No one stopped.
Even if someone went over to take a look, the old man still minded his own business and drank his wine. He didn't even look at them, as if no one was looking at his stall at all.
Such an attitude naturally made those people leave.
There were so many stalls and so many items in the black market. What couldn't one buy?
"Brother Qin, that old man is very strange. How can there be someone who sets up a stall like this? He's the only one in the black market. "Lin Xian couldn't help but comment when she saw Qin Xiao sizing up the old man.
In fact, he had already seen him and sized him up, but he didn't look at him for too long.
Qin Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, it's really strange. There must be something fishy going on. I keep feeling that there's something fishy going on here. "
"Something fishy?" Lin Xian frowned. She didn't feel that way.
There would always be someone who stood out from the crowd.
There was never a lack of weirdos.
"Brother Qin, don't tell me you want to go over and take a look?" Lin Xian asked.
Qin Xiao smiled and said, "Yes."
After saying that, Qin Xiao walked over. Although Lin Xian and the others didn't understand Qin Xiao's intention, they still followed him.
It was fine to take a look. Anyway, they came in to look and couldn't afford to buy anything.
Soon, Qin Xiao arrived in front of the stall and took a closer look at the old man.
The old man turned a deaf ear to Qin Xiao and the others. He still didn't look at them. He was still drinking his wine leisurely and immersed in his own world. Everything else, to him, was like floating clouds.
Qin Xiao squatted down and looked at the dozens of scattered items on the stall. Each of them looked very ordinary and dull. They seemed to be low-quality goods that weren't worth much at all.
There was nothing eye-catching about the items they sold, and they wouldn't shout for their wares. That was why the other stalls were crowded with people, but this place was deserted. There was a reason for that.
Qin Xiao picked up a bronze ball that was a little bigger than an egg. It was glowing with a green color and it seemed to be an antique that had been around for a long time.
However, other than the fact that it was old, the others were dull and dull. He couldn't see any value in it.
Qin Xiao looked at the bronze ball carefully. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that it was very ordinary and small.
However, Qin Xiao penetrated the bronze ball with his consciousness. Although he didn't feel anything, he vaguely felt that there was something hidden in it.
He needed to check it carefully to be sure if there was anything hidden in it. Qin Xiao wasn't very sure about this.
Just as Qin Xiao was about to continue to check it, the old man finally said, "Hey, boy, you've been looking at it for so long. Haven't you seen enough? You've seen everything clearly. How can I sell this thing? "
"Buy it if you want. If you don't want to buy it, leave quickly. Don't disturb me from drinking."
This stall owner's temper was not small.
