Zou Jun and Yi Tian were walking on a small path. Both of them had carefully dressed up, with masks and bamboo hats on their faces. They seemed to be in a hurry, so they chose to walk on a secluded path.
Zou Jun had already explained to Yi Tian on the second floor of the Zou Family's Weapon Shop. Most of the people participating in the black market were afraid of being recognized, so most of them wore masks.
The masks on their faces also had the effect of preventing prying eyes. As long as they changed the tone of their voices, unless it was someone they were very familiar with, there was no possibility of them being exposed.
Yi Tian also praised Zou Jun's thoughtfulness. After changing their clothes, the two slipped out of the back door of the Zou Family's Weapon Shop.
In less than fifteen minutes, Yi Tian followed Zou Jun to a private house in the northeast corner of the market. The two cultivators guarding the door were both in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.
Zou Jun walked up and took out a small black token. The two guards scanned it with their spiritual sense, and then instructed the two, "Huaiyuan Square will not be responsible for the situation of this black market. If there are any conflicts or disputes, please resolve them yourselves. We don't want to see any large scale fights within ten kilometers of the market. If it affects the normal operation of the market, we will ask Old Ancestor Jin Dan to suppress it. I hope you won't commit suicide and ruin the path of cultivation. "
After hearing this, Zou Jun respectfully replied that he would abide by these rules. On the side, Yi Tian was silent. He despised Zou Dong in his heart. The only Jin Dan cultivator within a hundred kilometers was Zou Dong. Even if he faced Zou Dong, he might not be afraid of him. However, he still had to put on a front. Being high-profile was not Yi Tian's way of dealing with people.
After entering the private house, there were a few servants in the 9th stage of Qi Disciple waiting for them. Seeing the guests enter, a middle-aged housekeeper stepped forward and said, "Please follow me." After saying this, he turned and opened a door on the wall, revealing a dark tunnel.
The two people then followed the waiter into a long promenade. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Yi Tian estimated that they were about 5 miles away in the northeast of Huaiyuan Square. Suddenly, a black door appeared in front of the brightly lit tunnel. The housekeeper walked forward and opened the door, inviting the two to walk out of the tunnel. After going out, Yi Tian found himself in a forest. There was a light not far away.
The servant leading the way said from outside the door, "Follow the path in the forest and you will arrive at the transaction location." Hearing this, Yi Tian turned around and gave the servant ten spirit stones. Then he and Zou Jun walked along the path in large strides.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the two of them arrived at the edge of a clearing in the forest. There were already a few Foundation Establishment cultivators here. Looking around, Yi Tian recognized Ye Ziyan and Xu Haoxian at a glance. Although the two of them were wearing headwear, they were still wearing the clothes of Chiyang School.
He thought to himself, "These two people are really stupid. Are they afraid that others won't recognize them when they dress like this? It seems that they haven't suffered much. They think that people will give them some leeway just because they are from a sect. This arrogant habit still hasn't changed."
After carefully sizing them up, he found that the two of them were both in the early stage of Foundation Establishment. Only Xu Haoxian was slightly stronger, almost at the peak of the early stage. Regardless of what the two of them wanted to buy, Yi Tian just wanted to make a good deal and not expose himself. After walking to the open space, Yi Tian and Zou Jun transmitted their voices to each other. The latter also told them not to be impatient. Generally, the host would be very punctual.
Sure enough, after the moon rose above the treetops, the cold air in the sky gradually rose to the extreme. Yi Tian felt that it was about time. At this moment, a cultivator in the late stage of Foundation Establishment walked to the center of the open space. Everyone knew that the host of the black market had arrived, so they surrounded him in twos and threes.
Zou Jun transmitted his voice, "That's the host of this black market transaction, Wu Yaolong from the Wu family. He's in the late stage of Foundation Establishment."
Nodding his head, Yi Tian indicated that he understood and didn't say anything more. He would just listen to the rest.
Wu Yaolong also said with a smile, "This black market auction is divided into two segments. First, there are a few rare items. Then, there is the individual segment. Everyone can come up and exchange for an item. If you can't exchange for something you like, you can also use spirit stones to bid."
After saying that, Wu Yaolong also took the lead. He took out a bottle of high-grade Origin Condensing Pills, directly stirring up the atmosphere of the scene. Under the control of the main cultivation resources of the large sects, the materials that the aristocratic families and rogue cultivators could use to refine pills were rare. This time, even Zou Jun, who was at the side, began to be moved.
A few rogue cultivators at the side began to bid. Zou Jun also shouted out a price from time to time, but it was quickly surpassed by the surrounding voices.
In Yi Tian's opinion, a high-grade Origin Condensing Pill was only a hundred spirit stones per pill. A bottle of ten pills would only be worth a thousand spirit stones. Plus, the price in the black market would at most be raised by thirty to forty percent.
In Yi Tian's opinion, the whole segment was boring. The items being traded were all level four items, and none of them could arouse his interest. On the other hand, Ye Ziyan and Xu Haoxian, who were on the opposite side, would make a move from time to time. Nearly twenty percent of the items were bought by these two prodigal masters.
After the first segment, Wu Yaolong cleared his throat and said, "Next is the individual exchange segment. Fellow Daoists who need it, please come up one by one."
With that, a female cultivator took the lead to go up the stage. The woman took out a medicinal herb and shouted, "A three-hundred-year-old ginseng can be exchanged for a mid-grade pill that can cure the symptoms of Qi deviation." Almost no one responded. Although this medicinal herb was old enough, the value of this pill was far above that of a spirit medicine.
Seeing that no one spoke, Wu Yaolong also directly went up the stage and said to the woman, "Madam Qionghua, you always rush to come, but every time there is no result. How can this pill that can cure the symptoms of Qi deviation be so easy to ask for?" After saying that, he directly scolded her.
Seeing that Yi Tian was puzzled, Zou Jun sent a sound transmission, "This Madam Qionghua has a child who cultivates two types of spirit arts with opposing attributes, causing his aura to be skewed, and there is a sign of Qi deviation. She also doesn't miss out on the black market every time, hoping to find a medicinal pill to cure it, so she rushes to come up every time. We are all used to it."
Yi Tian only nodded. There were many things like this in the cultivation world, and he couldn't be a good person.
After this brief interlude, the real exchange of items began. After a few people, it was Xu Haoxian and Ye Ziyan's turn. The two of them each took out two pieces of Chiyang School's Red Sun Fire Crystal to exchange for a mid-grade Level 4 defensive spirit artifact.
Yi Tian roughly knew about this thing. Cultivators who cultivated the Red Sun Fire could leave behind a trace of the Red Sun True Fire after extracting the spiritual energy from the Fire Spirit Stone. For fire type cultivators, refiners and alchemists, it was a rare treasure. It was mainly used to strengthen the fire seed of Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.
Zou Jun took out a few defensive spirit artifacts for the two of them to choose from. Xu Haoxian picked for a while before barely finding a mid-grade Level 4 Dustproof Cloak. Ye Ziyan looked for a long time but couldn't find a suitable one, so she could only give up.
After they returned to their original place, Zou Jun went up to exchange for his own things. Yi Tian, who was at the side, looked at these people and shook his head. It seemed that the black market might not be able to do as he wished. Most of these people didn't look like refiners, so the matter of buying materials or ores would most likely fail.
When Zou Jun came back, he signaled for Yi Tian to go forward. After being stunned for a moment, he came back to his senses. Yi Tian was about to go up, but Madam Qionghua rushed up first, causing Yi Tian to frown.
Even the host, Wu Yaolong, had a difficult expression on his face. If the rules were broken like this, how could his black market continue? He saw Madam Qionghua take out a jade slip and say, "I have the 'Spirit Nurturing Seed Technique' to cultivate Level 5 spirit plants. As long as there are medicinal pills that can alleviate the symptoms of fire deviation, you can exchange for it." After saying that, she greeted Wu Yaolong, hoping to give him another chance.
Who would've thought that Wu Yaolong would also become angry this time. Every time he messed up this woman's business, a perfectly good black market transaction would become a bit unsightly. He scolded, "Fellow Daoist Qionghua, my patience is limited. I hope you won't go too far. There are rules in this place." After saying that, he didn't hold back and directly stretched out a white Dragon-capturing Hand, wanting to grab the woman.
Most of the people present were waiting to see a good show. This late stage Foundation Establishment cultivator against an early stage Foundation Establishment cultivator was just a piece of cake. With a 'bang', Madam Qionghua turned pale with fright. However, when the Dragon-capturing Hand was about ten meters away from her, it was caught by someone's hand. The white light continued to gather in the hand, eventually condensing into a ball of light. With a pinch of his fingers, the ball of light exploded.
This time, the surrounding people looked at the scene with fear. They saw Yi Tian, who was wearing a bamboo hat, standing between the two of them. His right hand was still covered in smoke from the explosion.
After lightly waving his hand, Yi Tian said, "I want this thing. Fellow Daoist Wu, can you give me some face?" Then, he looked at Wu Yaolong.
Wu Yaolong also paused for a moment. However, as an experienced cultivator, Wu Yaolong's expression quickly returned to normal. He laughed and said, "It's fine. Fellow Daoist, please."
This time, the surrounding cultivators looked at Yi Tian with strange gazes. This person was able to catch a late stage Foundation Establishment cultivator's technique with his bare hands. This in itself already explained a lot.
Ignoring the reactions of the surrounding people, Yi Tian directly took out a blank jade slip and a bottle of medicinal pills and threw them to Madam Qionghua. Then, he transmitted his voice to her, "This is a 'Foundation Replenishing Pill'. It's specifically used to treat the damage of spiritual roots. It has the effect of alleviating and repairing qi deviation caused by unstable spiritual energy."
After Madam Qionghua opened the bottle and took a look, her face lit up with joy. After inspecting the medicinal pills, she directly put the bottle away. Then, she picked up the jade slip and inscribed the 'Spirit Nurturing Planting Technique'. Then, she handed the jade slip to Yi Tian.
After receiving the jade slip, Yi Tian also extended his spiritual sense to take a look. Inside, there were some methods to cultivate spiritual plants of the fifth rank and above. It also mentioned the steps to use high-grade spiritual plant cultivation soil. This was even more detailed than Nangong Qianyun's explanation. At the same time, it also made up for the cultivation part of the 'Ten Thousand Spirit Herbs'.
To the side, Wu Yaolong said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist, do you know that the 'Spirit Nurturing Planting Technique' has very strict requirements? Even if you have a spiritual plant cultivation technique, you might not necessarily be able to use it."
After pretending to ponder for a moment, Yi Tian cupped his hands towards Wu Yaolong and said, "Many thanks for Fellow Daoist Wu's reminder. I believe this is still useful to me. Is it my turn now?"
"As you wish." Seeing that his reminder was ineffective, Wu Yaolong didn't say anything else. He just waved his hand and indicated for Madam Qionghua to continue.
After receiving the medicinal pills, Madam Qionghua was filled with joy. After thanking Yi Tian, she was about to hurriedly return to her original position when she suddenly received a voice transmission from Yi Tian. The content was only three words, "Universe Pill." Her body paused for a moment before returning to normal. After returning to her original position, the dispirited expression on her face faded away. When she saw Yi Tian wearing a bamboo hat on the stage, she felt a burst of excitement.
The surrounding people only thought that she was so happy after receiving the medicinal pills.
