Chapter 10: This Should Be All His Savings

Hou Peng!

Lou Qinghe cupped his hands and smiled. "Just out for a stroll."

It seems that he has gradually been targeted during this period of time, so he really needs to change his identity.

"Seeing you looking for a long time, are you trying to buy something?"

Hou Peng smiled coldly. "If you want anything, just tell me. I know this place very well, and even some taboo things..."

Taboo!?

Could it be the black market!?

There are countless killings and fights in the cultivation world, among which there are many unseen magical artifacts and pills, and the only place for these things to circulate is the black market.

The two main characteristics of the black market.

The first is that most of the things that come are unknown or dangerous, and the second characteristic is the secrecy of the transaction.

If you can easily find the black market, what is it called a black market?

Hearing Hou Peng's words, Lou Qinghe's heart moved, but he said on the surface, "I want to find a spell about hiding breath."

"Oh?"

Hou Peng raised his eyebrows. "If you want that spell, I can help, it just depends on the sincerity of Fellow Daoist Shengkui."

Lou Qinghe took out two low-grade spirit stones and said, "I'll trouble Fellow Daoist Hou."

"Okay, come with me."

Hou Peng did not take Lou Qinghe's spirit stones, but took him to the outskirts of the market.

The two walked through the streets and alleys, and not long after, they came to the entrance of a place called Tianyuan Square.

This place is a medical clinic, because the location is very remote, and few people come to see a doctor usually.

Hou Peng looked around sneakily and said, "You wait for me here, I'll be back soon."

"Okay."

Lou Qinghe nodded.

Looking at Hou Peng's back walking into Tianyuan Square, Lou Qinghe secretly guessed, could this place be the black market?

Not long after, Hou Peng walked out hurriedly and lowered his voice. "Fellow Daoist Lou, there is a method to hide breath, and this method relies on a heart method in the Earth Law Department, but this price..."

Lou Qinghe asked, "What is the price?"

In the cultivation world, spells are also divided into grades, following the Earth Law Department, the Heaven Law Department, to the Spirit Law Department. It is said that the spells of the Spirit Law Department can produce the spirit of the spell. If you get it and refine it, you can greatly increase your understanding of the spell, and even use it to break through the highest realm.

And the Shangqing Taixu Art, Yuqing Taixu Art, and Taiqing Taixu Art of the Taiyi Sect are the top Heaven Law Department spells, which are also famous in the Chu State cultivation world.

Hou Peng stretched out five fingers and said, "Fifty low-grade spirit stones, no bargaining."

Even though Lou Qinghe knew the preciousness of this spell, he was still shocked and said, "I want to confirm the authenticity."

Hou Peng raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, there are rules here, and those things are all real, but don't ask about the origin."

Subsequently, under Hou Peng's leadership, Lou Qinghe walked into Tianyuan Square.

In the antique fragrance, there was also the fragrance of medicine wafting out. There were couplets hanging on both sides above, and the wooden cabinets on the side were also full of herbs. If you didn't know in advance that this place was a stronghold of the black market, who could tell?

At this time, a shopkeeper walked out, took out a book, and said, "The Wind Breath Art is here, and it has been removed by the exorcism talisman."

Lou Qinghe picked up the "Wind Breath Art" to study. After all, for a low-level rogue cultivator like him, fifty low-grade spirit stones is indeed a big business.

Judging from the introduction on the book, it is indeed a spell in the Earth Law Department.

Immediately, Lou Qinghe took out the spirit stones and said, "This is fifty low-grade spirit stones."

After the transaction was completed, Hou Peng took Lou Qinghe and the two left Tianyuan Square.

Lou Qinghe took out two low-grade spirit stones again and said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist, this time."

"Hey! Why are you being polite with me?"

Although Hou Peng said this on his lips, his hand subconsciously took the two low-grade spirit stones. "If you have any needs, just tell me. Not to mention this spell, even if Fellow Daoist Shengkui wants to buy a living person, it's not impossible."

As he said, he winked at Lou Qinghe.

"If I have any needs, I will tell Fellow Daoist Hou, goodbye."

Lou Qinghe laughed dryly, then walked quickly towards his residence.

On the way, he was secretly calculating, "Most of the spirit stones earned these days have been spent, leaving only thirty-something low-grade spirit stones. I still need to change into a new robe, but even the lowest-grade second-hand Daoist robe costs dozens of low-grade spirit stones."

The high price of the magic robe made Lou Qinghe feel troubled.

Suddenly, he saw Pei Siyu's door, and his heart moved.

Pei Siyu works in the clothing shop sewing second-hand Daoist robes, maybe she has some ways to get a cheap second-hand magic robe.

"Knock, knock!"

Thinking of this, he immediately stepped forward and knocked on the door. "Is Fellow Daoist Pei there? I am Shengkui."

"Creak!"

Not long after, the wooden door opened.

The woman wearing a veil opened the door and said nervously, "Fellow Daoist Shengkui, do you have anything to do?"

Looking at this appearance, she is an old social phobia.

"I do have some things."

Lou Qinghe rubbed his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist Pei works in the clothing shop. I don't know if there are any second-hand magic robes. It doesn't matter if it's a bit worn, as long as it can be worn..."

Hearing Lou Qinghe say this, Pei Siyu said embarrassedly, "I am just a seamstress in the clothing shop, I don't have any say... I'm sorry..."

Having said that, Pei Siyu kept apologizing.

"No need to apologize, it's me who disturbed you."

Lou Qinghe felt a little disappointed and cupped his hands, preparing to leave.

Looking at the lonely back wearing worn-out clothes, Pei Siyu called Lou Qinghe by mistake. "You... you wait a moment."

Lou Qinghe turned his head and said, "Fellow Daoist Pei, is there anything else?"

Pei Siyu's lips parted slightly, and she said stutteringly, "I... I have some robes made of discarded cloth here. If you don't mind..."

"Mind, how could I mind?"

Lou Qinghe smiled. "As long as it can be worn close to the body."

Pei Siyu gave up a crack in the door and said in a low voice, "It's not convenient outside the door, Fellow Daoist Shengkui, come in and talk."

"Okay, then I'll disturb Fellow Daoist Pei."

Lou Qinghe squeezed into the door. This was the first time he had come to this neighbor's house.

After all, every residence has a small formation. If the owner doesn't open it, others entering without permission will cause backlash.

The same three-room house plus a small courtyard, with a few spirit grasses and spirit flowers planted on both sides of the courtyard, emitting a fragrant smell, and the stone slabs on the ground were clean, making people feel very comfortable.

"Fellow Daoist Shengkui, wait for me here."

Pei Siyu found Lou Qinghe looking at her small courtyard, and suddenly felt a little unnatural.

As she said, she flew to the bedroom and soon took out a light cyan robe and said in a low voice, "This robe is made of discarded cloth, mostly using the skin and hair of the Green Tiger beast. The style may be a bit old, but it is very strong, and there are two restrictions on it, one for dust removal and one for wind driving."

Lou Qinghe picked up the robe and his eyes lit up. "Very beautiful, Fellow Daoist Pei's craftsmanship is really good."

Although this Daoist robe was sewn and mended, the whole thing had no sense of fragmentation, and it looked the same as a new one.

Everyone likes to hear praise, and Pei Siyu is no exception. "Then you try it on to see if it fits."

Through the veil, one could vaguely see the arc of the corners of her mouth, which made people feel like a spring breeze.

If it weren't for the scar of the fire poison, it should be very beautiful.

Lou Qinghe secretly thought.

Pei Siyu found Lou Qinghe staring at her, as if those eyes could see through her body, and her heart suddenly became extremely nervous, and her breathing stopped for a moment.

"... I'll try it now."

Lou Qinghe hurriedly put on the robe. The robe was a bit tight, but it could be worn.

Pei Siyu seemed a bit at a loss. "It seems... a bit small."

Lou Qinghe smiled. "It's okay, it's very good. How many spirit stones is this robe?"

Pei Siyu's eyes were filled with spirit light, and her breath was like an orchid, and her voice was almost squeezed out. "You... you give me twenty low-grade spirit stones."

Lou Qinghe said embarrassedly, "Is this too little..."

The robe refined from Green Tiger, plus two restrictions, if it were a finished robe, it would cost at least one middle-grade spirit stone.

Pei Siyu is also a low-level rogue cultivator, and her life may not be better than his.

"It's okay, I refined it with cloth that others didn't want in the clothing shop, and there is not much cost."

Pei Siyu shook her head and said seriously, "Don't feel bad in your heart. If you give me twenty low-grade spirit stones, I am the one who earned it."

Lou Qinghe seemed to see those sincere eyes and said, "Okay, thank you, Fellow Daoist Pei. I will remember this favor."

Intuition told him that those eyes were very beautiful, as if there were stars shining.

The eyes met at this moment, and then broke in the next moment.

Pei Siyu lowered her head again and said, "If Fellow Daoist Shengkui has nothing to do..."

"Then I won't disturb Fellow Daoist Pei anymore."

Lou Qinghe heard the order to evict the guest and hurriedly cupped his hands.

He put down the spirit stones and left with the Green Tiger robe.

"Phew—!"

Pei Siyu saw Lou Qinghe leave, hurriedly closed the door, and breathed heavily nervously.

After a long time, she came to the table. There were thirty-seven spirit stones scattered on the table, and her heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"This should be all his savings..." ===== CHAPTER 11 =====
