Chapter 50 Black Market [Reading]
Yang Hao looked up and saw that the entire hill was shrouded in white mist. Under the moonlight, there seemed to be countless ferocious black shadows shaking in it.
Since he had already searched for information related to the black market before, he certainly understood that this was not a naturally existing fog.
This is a formation set up by the black market organizers. The main purpose is to drive away wild beasts and mortals and prevent them from breaking in and affecting the black market transactions.
Immortal cultivators only need to transport their spiritual power to their eyes to see through the fog.
However, Yang Hao did not go directly up the mountain to enter the black market. He took out a black robe from his storage bag and put it on himself.
Although the main purpose of his trip was to fish, he couldn't do it too blatantly.
Doing nothing to cover it up only makes people more suspicious.
After putting on a basic disguise, Yang Hao rolled his sleeves and Shi Shiran walked up the mountain road.
After going up the mountain, Yang Hao saw some black-robed men dressed similarly to him one after another.
But they basically remained silent and didn't say anything unnecessary.
There was enough distance between them, and each of them headed towards the black market quickly or slowly.
Along the way, no one tried to kill people or steal goods. Yang Hao remained relaxed on the surface but alert in his heart, and soon came to the black market.
The black market is located on a flat piece of land on the mountainside, shrouded by an opaque formation. The entrance is guarded by two men in black robes with no apparent strength.
"The entrance fee is one spiritual stone!"
When Yang Hao walked up to the two people, one of the men in black robe said to him in a deep voice.
Yang Hao, who had investigated in advance, naturally knew the relevant rules. Without making a fuss, he took out a spiritual stone from his storage bag and handed it to the man in black robe who spoke.
The other party nodded. After taking the spirit stone, he handed him a small black sign and said, "Go in!"
After taking the sign, Yang Hao walked directly to the light curtain behind the two of them without stopping.
According to the information previously obtained, this brand is equivalent to a pass in the black market. Without it, there is no way to enter the black market normally.
The moment Yang Hao came into contact with the light curtain, the sign in his hand instantly emitted an invisible aura that enveloped his whole body, and then he seemed to have passed through a layer of water and officially arrived in the black market.
"Female slaves are on sale for cheap! A young and beautiful slave girl only costs 10 spirit stones!"
"The Jade Spirit Pill produced by the master! Come and see what you want!"
"Undertake various assassination missions during the Qi Refining Period. If you are the one!"
... ...
It is said to be a black market, but it is not as deserted as Yang Hao imagined. All kinds of hawking sounds come and go. If the people here had not covered their appearance, it would look no different from an ordinary market.
These hawkers basically set up stalls in open spaces. In addition, there are some shops with facades and decorations along the road. Yang Hao even saw the branch of Jubao Pavilion here.
Yang Hao deliberately walked in to take a look, and found that the decoration here was obviously much simpler than that in Tianyang City, and the quality of the goods sold was also a bit worse than that in the city. Many items had no quality guarantee, and the only advantage was that the price was low. A little lower.
He walked around and found that there was nothing he needed to buy, so he left directly.
Then, he wandered around the black market again and spotted two things that would be helpful to him.
The first one is an unknown elixir recipe.
Yang Hao asked the stall owner for relevant information. The other party said that he found it in a secret realm. He didn't know the grade or function. The authenticity had to be considered. Therefore, the stall owner didn't open his mouth like a lion and just offered a 100 spirit stone. Selling price.
Compared with the possible harvest, 100 spirit stones are indeed not expensive, but if this elixir recipe is fake, losing 100 spirit stones in vain will be enough to make Yang Hao feel painful.
Yang Hao looked at the first half of the recipe displayed by the stall owner, and based on the knowledge of alchemy in his mind, he carefully considered it for a moment and felt that the recipe was probably not fake, so he planned to buy it.
Then, he saw that the stall owner didn't seem to be very insistent on the price, so he tried to negotiate the price again, and finally succeeded in buying the unknown elixir prescription with 93 spiritual stones.
The second one is a first-level high-grade technique.
This technique is called "Flowing Water", and it is a rare passive type of technique.
It has only one specific effect, which is to increase the spiritual power recovery speed of cultivators in the Qi refining stage. In the later stage of Qi refining, it can also increase the spiritual power recovery speed.
The higher the spell level, the more the recovery speed increases.
This technique requires the user to have water attribute spiritual roots.
Based on the above alone, this technique should not be reduced to being sold on the black market.
Yang Hao expressed this doubt to the stall owner. The stall owner was obviously unwilling to tell the reason behind it. He hesitated for a long time and finally said whether he wanted to buy it or not.
Then, Yang Hao seized on this and bargained hard, finally buying this good passive spell for 307 spiritual stones.
After the transaction, Yang Hao briefly browsed the specific contents of this technique, and then he understood why the stall owner tried so hard to conceal it.
It turns out that this flowing water technique is a direct descendant of the Yan family, one of the four major families in the city. You must have the direct blood of the Yan family to exert its maximum effect.
Moreover, when this technique is used, a layer of light blue water vapor will be produced on the body surface, which has obvious characteristics. If someone from the Yan family discovers it while using it, the consequences can be imagined.
However, Yang Hao had already expected this. Without these flaws, how could he possibly buy such a first-level, top-grade passive spell with only 307 spiritual stones.
The first shortcoming is not a big problem for his skill panel.
As long as the entry is powerful, the effect of the skill itself can be appropriately ignored.
As for the second shortcoming, as long as it is not discovered by the Yan family when using it, it will be fine, right?
Moreover, the passive spell can be used in conjunction with the invisibility spell. When he releases these two spells together, the effect of the flowing water will not be visible.
Yang Hao has a skill panel. The more passive skills he has, the stronger he is.
Therefore, for Yang Hao, this transaction was not a loss, but a huge profit.
After buying these two things, Yang Hao only had 69 pieces of spiritual stone left and was in urgent need of blood.
In the following time, he stopped wandering around.
Yang Hao went straight to the formation center in the middle of the black market and handed over 3 spiritual stones to the black-robed man there as a stall fee.
The man in black robe accepted the spirit stone and handed him a plate with the number "193" written on it.
The place marked by this sign is the stall assigned to Yang Hao.
Yang Hao activated the sign and followed the guidance to the destination.
Because he only handed over 3 spiritual stones, the stall was in a very remote location, in a corner, very inconspicuous.
But he didn't care. He took out the Spirit Fusion Pill that he had refined before, placed the bottles out, and put up a sign next to it.
The brand said in eye-catching fonts, "Perfect quality Ling Ling Dan is sold at a cheap price, a bottle only costs 42 Ling Stones."
Most of the people who came to the black market were impatient, and soon someone noticed Yang Hao's stall.
