The Northern Market's black market was definitely not built in an impenetrable building. Instead, when Yi Tian arrived, he felt that it was no different from an ordinary teahouse.
The only difference was that there was an auction stage at the center of the black market. Listening to the attendant's explanation, the black market generally did not investigate the identity of the seller. Everyone was only concerned about the quality of the materials and the quality of the items being traded. The entire trade was divided into private transactions and public auctions. Unlike official auctions, the items being auctioned here were not verified in advance. All the information was based on the seller's side of the story.
As for whether or not one could find a treasure, that would depend on the eyes of the cultivator. The black market only charged a 30% fee and did not care about anything else. The good thing was that the black market would conceal the seller's identity, so there was no need to worry about retaliation.
However, this was only effective if it was within the capabilities of the cultivator on duty. If a high level cultivator like Yi Tian really wanted to pursue the matter, the cultivator on duty would have no choice but to obediently hand him over.
After walking around the place for a while, the information he gathered was not satisfactory. Most of the Yao Beast hunters would directly sell the Yao Beasts they hunted to the Guardian Beasts. After all, the price was higher than the price outside. Additionally, there was no need to pay a processing fee.
This time, Yi Tian was also very dissatisfied. It seems like it would be very difficult for him to find a Class 5 Demonic Beast here. Could it be that he really had to go and chat with the JinDan cultivator?
Just as he was thinking about what to do next, he suddenly heard a Jin Dan cultivator walk out from the black market's pavilion and loudly announce, "In two hours, the demonic beast auction will begin. Interested cultivators, please come and register. Everyone will have to pay an entrance fee of three thousand spirit stones."
For a moment, all the cultivators in the pavilion began to discuss. Some impatient cultivators even directly ran up and took out spirit stones to buy tickets.
It was rare to come here and actually have the opportunity to see an auction. Yi Tian did not decline. He directly went to the black market's registration desk and paid the spirit stones. After asking for a private room upstairs, he directly sat there and waited for the auction to begin.
In any case, he had already made up his mind that if he did not win the auction, he would directly go to the guard of the Jin Dan cultivator to exchange for the demonic beast. He believed that the guard of the Jin Dan cultivator would not be ignorant.
After closing his eyes and resting for a while, he heard people coming upstairs one after another. Then the entire hall began to become noisy. Needless to say, it was about time.
When Yi Tian opened his eyes again, he saw that the second floor was already filled with people. However, everyone's room was covered by restrictions, so he could not use his Divine Sense to check the situation of the cultivators inside.
It didn't take long for a middle-aged Gold Core stage cultivator to walk up to the bidding platform. He cleared his throat and announced the start of the auction.
Every time an item was auctioned in the black market, it was uncertain what it was. Therefore, the transactions here were all based on one's eyes. After a few words, the auctioneer first took out an iron cage. Inside the cage was a colorful Red Chain Snake. He then calmly called out a price of 30,000 spirit stones. Following that, the surrounding cultivators began to raise the price.
Using his Eye Technique to look at the poisonous snake, Yi Tian's face could not help but twitch when he compared it with the price. No wonder it was said that the Southern Border was a paradise for poisonous creatures. Poisonous water and ferocious beasts were everywhere. A Grade 4 Red Chain Snake like this would have a base price of 100,000 spirit stones in Dong Ao. It was really too cheap here.
However, a Grade 4 demonic beast was not of much use to him. He believed that there would be better items later. Otherwise, he would really have to make a trip to the Guardian Residence.
The noisy bidding continued for more than an hour before the first three items were auctioned off. Yi Tian discovered that these items were all Grade 4 poisonous beasts. However, there were very few people bidding on the second floor. Perhaps everyone was like him, waiting for the good items later.
Not long after, the auctioneer cleared his throat and said, "The next item to be auctioned is a high-level poisonous beast captured from the territory of the demonic beasts on the back." After saying that, two attendants carried out a large cage covered with canvas. After the cloth was lifted, everyone saw a robust bull inside.
Yi Tian looked around the room and was stunned. He then nodded and muttered to himself, "Done, it's this one."
At this moment, the auctioneer calmly said, "Grade 5 poisonous scorpion. Base price is 200,000 spirit stones. Please begin the bidding."
Immediately, everyone's gaze gathered on the small cage beside the bull. There was a five-inch long Jade Scorpion inside. Its tail was continuously stinging the bull's hind legs.
After being stung a few times, the huge Barbarian Bull began to groan in pain in the cage. It seemed that the Jade Scorpion's poison was truly powerful. Even the male Barbarian Bull, which had the strongest physique among the fourth grade spirit beasts, was unable to withstand it.
At this moment, a bid came from a private room on the second floor, "150,000 spirit stones."
Following that, bids came from the other rooms. Furthermore, each bid was not low. After a few bids, the price was raised to 200,000 spirit stones.
At this moment, Yi Tian also added 10,000 spirit stones. However, after he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a slight spirit energy fluctuation on the second floor. This feeling was very weak. Perhaps even the Jin Dan cultivators would not be able to detect it.
However, he was still able to detect the auras of cultivators of the same grade. Although it was only for a short moment, it was enough to prove that this Jade Scorpion was not simple.
In order to avoid trouble, Yi Tian stopped after bidding once. However, he was secretly thinking that this matter would not be easy to deal with. If things went wrong, he might have to fight again.
However, after thinking about it, he was only here to buy a Grade 5 spirit beast. There was no need for him to get involved in this mess. Thus, he stopped bidding and remained silent.
Half an hour later, the auctioneer bought the Jade Scorpion for 500,000 spirit stones. However, after the auction, a voice came from the room, "I have spent so many spirit stones. Can I see the hunter?"
Once this was said, the entire room fell silent. The auctioneer standing in the middle said with a puzzled expression, "Fellow Daoist, this doesn't seem to be in accordance with the rules. We are only bidding and selling items here."
"Cut the crap. I'm here to find that hunter today." His words were mixed with spiritual pressure, which stunned everyone below.
At this moment, the Jin Dan cultivator was covered in cold sweat. He could clearly feel that the other party did not come with good intentions. Furthermore, the other party's cultivation was definitely higher than his, which was why he dared to speak so arrogantly.
Before he could reply, there was a sudden commotion in the backstage of the black market. A wave of spirit pressure appeared and an azure figure appeared from the room on the second floor.
In less than three breaths, the figure circled around the backstage and returned to the front. When the figure appeared, everyone was stunned. Standing before them was a demonic beast with a human body and a tiger head. It was carrying an unconscious Jin Dan cultivator.
