Chapter 127: Top-grade magic tools, our black market is just like this

Dahe Square has a black market, this is something most people know.

Or rather, any square market will have a black market.

Specifically used for loose cultivators to trade some things that are not very presentable.

Just like Wang Yuan, who used to do dirty work for the Poshan Gang back then.

But the things he sold in the loose cultivator market were mostly low-grade and middle-grade magic tools, and the cultivation technique books were also basic introductory spells, or things like "Six Domains Customs Record" which had no great value.

So, for such a huge force as the Poshan Gang, are the dirty things they have to deal with only at this level?

Obviously not!

Slightly higher-end ones easily involve enemies.

Therefore, basically, they are all put into the black market for trading.

But black markets also have high and low distinctions!

A low-end black market might just be organized by a group of Qi Refining loose cultivators, and the good things involved in it are at most top-grade magic tools or some first-order top-grade spiritual materials.

Among the participants, most of the realms are middle and late-stage Qi Refining.

But today, the Precious Dragon Black Market that Luo Chen participated in, not one of the attendees was weak!

Luo Chen's spiritual sense is extremely keen, even if dozens of people were present, most of them restrained their aura like him.

But more than half still gave him a feeling of danger.

And those who can make him feel danger are basically only existences at the Qi Refining ninth layer and above.

In other words, the vast majority of today's attendees are Qi Refining ninth-layer cultivators.

And there are three others, even if they sit there motionless, no one dares to look at them directly.

Three Foundation Establishment!

"Didn't they say that the Foundation Establishment of Dahe Square have all gone to the Core Formation ruins?"

"How come there are still three here!"

"Ceng Wen really overestimated me, recommending me directly here."

"What I wanted to go to was a lower-end black market!"

Luo Chen was complaining wildly in his heart.

And with the arrival of the subsequent two cultivators, the big door was tightly closed.

Among the three Foundation Establishment, one wearing a golden mask stood up.

His figure was thin, looking like a candle in the wind, but combined with that golden mask and the majestic Foundation Establishment aura radiating from his whole body, no one dared to underestimate him.

With his hands clapping, sounds of patter rang out in the originally dim underground hall.

Immediately, more than a dozen crystal glass lamps emitted soft light.

Illuminating the area in the center as if it were broad daylight.

Golden animal skin carpet, antique sandalwood table, a huge compass with five colors, revealed in front of everyone.

Seeing that compass, Luo Chen couldn't help but be shocked.

Magic treasure!

The owner of this place actually put the magic treasure outside so carelessly.

Is it a deterrent? Or is there another use?

He observed others without a trace, and found that except for a few people whose spiritual power aura leaked due to heart fluctuations, most people sat quietly on their respective chairs.

These people seem to be used to it, and already knew that there would be such a magic treasure there?

They are all old people!

That is to say, those few people who were accidentally shocked are also new faces like him?

While he was observing the surroundings, the thin Foundation Establishment cultivator coughed twice.

"Old man Tianxingzi, I am the owner of the Precious Dragon Black Market, and today I am also responsible for presiding over the trading."

"I am very happy to see many old friends, and also welcome new fellow Daoists."

"The rules of this market are very simple. First, we, the hosts, auction some cultivation resources, and those interested can bid. If spirit stones are insufficient, resources of equal value can also be used for bidding. As for whether the resources are worth the corresponding spirit stones, I can judge, I believe everyone trusts the old man's eye."

"The second stage is for fellow Daoists to display and bid for themselves. Bidding is free, and the highest bidder wins. If someone questions whether the auctioned item is genuine, you can ask me to judge. If you don't trust me, this five-color treasure compass will also give a satisfactory answer."

When speaking, Tianxingzi's hand landed on that huge five-color compass.

"However, if you want to use the five-color treasure compass, you need to submit a handling fee of ten spirit stones each time."

"In order to avoid new Daoist friends not understanding this magic treasure, the old man will briefly introduce it."

"The five-color treasure compass, from the hands of the forging master Huyan Zhuo of Tianfan City, is a low-grade magic treasure. Its function is to identify spiritual materials, magic tools, pills... it can be said that as long as it is a treasure below the third order, it can give a relatively accurate grade identification."

Huyan Zhuo again?

Hearing this name, Luo Chen's heart jumped.

He remembered that Mi Shuhua's Heavenly Moon Purple Gold Wheel and his own Four-Image Cauldron seemed to come from that one.

This person is a forging maniac, with such high output!

"Alright, the introduction of the magic treasure ends here. The last link is for Daoist friends to trade by themselves. The pricing in the trading process is not accurate, and you can also use the five-color treasure compass, the handling fee is also ten spirit stones each time."

After saying a lot of rules and regulations, Tianxingzi paused.

Seeing that no one raised any questions, he stroked his beard under the mask with satisfaction.

"Then, let the trading begin!"

With these words, the hall, which was more than ten zhang wide, suddenly became solemn.

In the serious atmosphere, there was an indescribable scorching expectation.

Luo Chen sat in the corner and keenly sensed this strange atmosphere.

Could it be that today, in the Precious Dragon Black Market, there is something good that many Qi Refining cultivators are looking forward to?

"The first auction item, Green Musk Gathering Dragon Flag, top-grade attack magic tool!"

Accompanied by Tianxingzi's words, Luo Chen's heart jumped fiercely.

His gaze fell on that flag, and a look of craving appeared in his eyes.

Top-grade magic tool!

He, Luo Chen, is a master alchemist, and his net worth is definitely considered rich, with a pile of high-grade magic tools.

But until now, he didn't have a top-grade magic tool.

Even if it is just an attack magic tool that is relatively cheap among magic tools of the same rank, it is still a top-grade magic tool!

In fact, not just him, 99% of Qi Refining cultivators find it very difficult to own a top-grade magic tool.

The reason is very simple, the price of top-grade magic tools is extremely high!

They start at five thousand spirit stones, and those with special effects are even close to the price of magic treasures.

There must be a reason why top-grade magic tools sell so expensively.

Mentioning the reason, one has to mention forging among the hundred arts of cultivation.

Not to mention forging techniques, forging taboos, inheritance, etc., just talk about the grade of the forged magic tools and magic treasures.

The grade of magic tools and magic treasures is divided into high, middle, and low grades, which is the most standard division, judged according to compatible arrays, materials, power, and many other standards.

But unexpectedly, besides high, middle, and low, there is another grade "top-grade".

The concept of top-grade magic tools is accepted by the world, but it is resolutely denied by orthodox forging masters.

Because in the world, top-grade magic tools do not exist at all.

There are only defective magic treasures!

When forging masters forge, they often aim at a set direction to forge.

For the grade of the artifact that may be forged, they also have a count in their hearts.

Whether it is low-grade or high-grade, it is in their plan, and whether it succeeds or not is the final result.

No forging master would think of forging "top-grade" magic tools.

Because that is the most wasteful, most incompetent, and most stupid way.

Any top-grade magic tool possesses more than three arrays and has excellent materials.

If a smart person thinks about it, they will find that the only thing that can be compared with it is one thing.

That is a magic treasure!

In fact, top-grade magic tools are defective products in the process of forging magic treasures.

And because of some special reasons, they were not forged badly and still retained one-tenth of the power of a magic treasure.

Forging masters have no choice but to sell them to recover a little loss.

But don't underestimate this one-tenth of low-grade magic treasure power, it is already enough to surpass all high-grade magic tools.

Without top-grade, there is no way to fight against top-grade.

Back then, the reason Qin Liangchen could defeat Bai Qi, who possessed a Sword Pill, was because he had a top-grade magic tool that could also rival the Sword Pill — the Purple River Dao Robe.

Think about Qi Refining stage cultivators being able to use magic treasures like Foundation Establishment True Persons and Core Formation Superiors, even if they are defective magic treasures.

It is only natural that the price is high.

Speaking of which, Luo Chen actually has a defective magic treasure in his hand.

Four-Image Cauldron!

Coincidentally, like that five-color treasure compass, it also came from the forging master Huyan Zhuo of Tianfan City.

But why is the Four-Image Cauldron only high-grade, not top-grade?

Because back then Huyan Zhuo was too whimsical, actually wanting to create a magic treasure that combined five wonderful uses: attack, suppression, defense, alchemy, and even forging.

Therefore, four arrays were carved on the Four-Image Cauldron.

Finally, when carving the fifth array, it failed.

Because of the special material, the Four-Image Cauldron was preserved.

But because the fifth array was not engraved, it didn't even form the magic treasure prototype that was envisioned.

Coupled with the fact that several arrays were not subordinate to each other and were faintly restraining each other, the final product ended up as high-grade.

Many of these knowledge were heard by Luo Chen from Duan Feng.

The Duan family is also a forging family, and they know much more about these forging things than him.

Even if it's just hearsay, it's all reasonable.

"Green Musk Gathering Dragon Flag, can summon three wood-type dragons, each with the power of the Qi Refining ninth layer."

"Not only that, the dragons will also emit green musk fragrance, which can make the enemy's spiritual power blocked unknowingly, and combat power greatly reduced."

"The shortcomings are also very obvious, which is the usual old problem of top-grade magic tools, the consumption of spiritual power is extremely large."

"Qi Refining late-stage cultivators can only use it once, and those at the Qi Refining ninth layer can use it twice."

It has to be said that Tianxingzi is very honest.

While extremely praising the power of the Green Musk Gathering Dragon Flag, he also pointed out its flaws one by one.

In this way, even if someone bought it and used it unsuccessfully, they couldn't blame their Precious Dragon Black Market for not reminding them in advance.

It's just that no one cares about this shortcoming.

Top-grade magic tools are ultimately aimed at magic treasures, and the most basic prerequisite is abundant spiritual power.

Even if they become defective products, top-grade magic tools mostly retain this shortcoming.

Even Luo Chen's Four-Image Cauldron has this flaw.

It's just that his magic power is deep, far exceeding those of the same rank, as long as he doesn't fight, he can use it normally.

During the battle, he mostly only stimulates one of the wonderful uses to ensure that spiritual power will not be greatly damaged.

After listening to Tianxingzi's detailed introduction.

Luo Chen took a deep breath, faintly having the urge to join the bidding.

However, with the first bid of six thousand spirit stones, he was deterred.

His net worth was only five thousand spirit stones, how could he compete with these people.

"Six thousand one!"

"Six thousand five!"

"Six thousand nine hundred spirit stones, I am just missing a handy magic tool to seek opportunities in the Core Formation ruins. No matter how much you bid, I am determined to get this treasure!"

The speaker was a person wearing a black tiger mask.

The tone was impassioned!

Not only that, but he also took the initiative to spread his spiritual power fluctuations.

The majestic aura of the Qi Refining Great Perfection instantly made most people silent.

Luo Chen's eyelids jumped, Qi Refining Great Perfection!

This person is definitely not a local cultivator of Dahe Square, I'm afraid he is a strong dragon from another square market.

It seems that the struggle for the Core Formation ruins is becoming more and more intense!

Even cultivators from other places have been attracted.

Some cultivators who still wanted to bid, seeing his strength, also stopped.

It's just the first auction item, there are still good things behind.

It's not worth it to offend this person and bid forcibly.

Finally, this top-grade magic tool, the Green Musk Gathering Dragon Flag, successfully fell into the hands of the black tiger mask cultivator.

However, when paying the spirit stones, an awkward scene appeared.

He couldn't take out enough spirit stones.

Fortunately, he took out several spiritual materials of equal value to make up the difference.

Seeing this scene, several cultivators who had stopped bidding before couldn't help but secretly say it was a pity.

Although this person's realm is high, he is short of money, and just now he was just strong on the outside but weak on the inside!

If I persist in bidding for a few more rounds, it is hard to say I won't be able to win it.

After getting the top-grade magic tool, the black tiger cultivator was also extremely satisfied, and didn't even stay, leaving the Precious Dragon Hall directly.

"Pfft!"

"This person is as cunning as a fox; clearly short on funds, yet he puts on a bold front, using his cultivation realm to pressure others, and winning a top-grade magic tool at such a comfortable price."

"After getting it, he is even more afraid of being coveted, leaving quickly."

"Despicable outsider!"

Hearing the sneer coming from the side, Luo Chen suddenly realized a problem.

Black market auctions are not comparable to the formal auctions of the Yuding Sword Pavilion.

As long as they leave the Precious Dragon Black Market, they don't care about anything that happens later.

It wasn't just the cultivator next to Luo Chen who had an opinion about the departure of the black tiger mask cultivator.

In other corners, there were also whispers.

And these are things they want others to hear.

Those who don't want people to know mostly communicate by sound transmission.

The host Tianxingzi's expression didn't change at all, after all, he was wearing a mask.

Tapping his fingers on the wooden table, he smiled: "Our black market is just like this, bidding for things only depends on eye power, financial power, and courage. If you have enough courage, you can also try to bid for good things at a low price."

That Green Musk Gathering Dragon Flag, its true value is at least around seven thousand five hundred spirit stones.

Without the subsequent bidding link, the black tiger mask cultivator definitely saved a large amount of spirit stones.

"Alright, next is the second auction item!"

"Everyone must cheer up!"

"Three bottles of Returning Yang Water, starting bid five hundred spirit stones each, first bottle first."

The low price, but it couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the cultivators.

Almost after saying those three words, the originally cold Precious Dragon Hall instantly became lively.

"Six hundred!"

"Seven hundred!"

"Seven hundred and fifty spirit stones!"

"I bid eight hundred spirit stones, whoever competes with me, be careful not to walk out of this door."

"Who are you fooling, this is the Precious Dragon Hall, if you have the ability, try to do it, I bid eight hundred and one spirit stones."

"You!"

Bidding sounds rose and fell, constantly ringing out.

Among them, there was no lack of shouting and scolding.

Amidst a sound of bidding, Luo Chen's gaze was firm, and he shouted two words with an unyielding momentum.

"One thousand!" ===== CHAPTER 128 =====
