Chapter 163

Picking a remote corner position, Luo Chen sat down.

Wang Yuan was not far from him.

Seeing the tense muscles under his linen clothes, Luo Chen knew that his decision was correct.

Times have changed.

With fewer shops in the inner city, the black market in the outer city ushered in unprecedented liveliness.

Last time, only dozens of people participated, but this time it directly soared three or four times, with more than three hundred people.

The Zhenlong Hall, which was sparse before, now gave people a feeling of crowding.

Especially the seven Foundation Establishment true cultivators sitting on both sides, the pressure they gave was incomparably huge.

Luo Chen looked at them one by one; the one wearing a golden dragon mask was undoubtedly Tian Xingzi.

To be honest, the first time he came in, Luo Chen was extremely shocked.

The Zhenlong Black Market participated in the great battle of besieging the Yuding Sword Pavilion; logically, after the battle ended, they should have fled.

Never expected that not only did they not leave, but they also held the black market regularly.

Even Tian Xingzi, the leading Foundation Establishment cultivator, did not leave.

"What confidence do they have not to leave?"

Luo Chen couldn't guess, so he had to look at the others.

The one with the rotten wood mask was very familiar.

The last time he participated in the black market, this old Foundation Establishment cultivator also participated and auctioned a puppet comparable to the late-stage Qi Refining combat power, as well as an eight-hundred-year-old Heaven and Earth Root.

For this, he also promised a commitment to another Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"This person is also very strange; does he not cultivate by moving around?"

Besides these two familiar ones, Luo Chen couldn't guess the remaining five.

For every one of them, he couldn't find a trace of familiarity.

It's as if they were not cultivators from Dahefang at all.

"Could it be that they came from other places?"

"Yes, in half a month, the news of Dahefang has spread, which will naturally attract some powerful Foundation Establishment true cultivators to come and find out."

"And the black market, besides various resource transactions, also includes intelligence transactions."

"Some important intelligence can even be auctioned at a high price."

Just as Luo Chen was about to withdraw his gaze, he paused for a moment on a Foundation Establishment true cultivator who was as strong as a bear.

This person gave him a familiar feeling.

"Familiar?"

"Where have I seen it?"

Luo Chen frowned, trying to recall.

Just as he was thinking about these things, Tian Xingzi had already walked to the sandalwood table in the middle.

Taking out that five-colored treasure compass, as in the usual practice, he tirelessly talked about the black market rules.

"Old man Tian Xingzi, I am the master of the Zhenlong Black Market, and today I am also responsible for presiding over the transaction."

"Very happy to see many old friends, and also welcome new fellow Daoists."

"The rules of this market are very simple, first is the host..."

Luo Chen listened quietly until the first auction item appeared.

The moment it appeared, the atmosphere of the whole venue instantly became quiet.

Luo Chen's eyes revealed shock, and he turned his head.

As if by telepathy, Wang Yuan also looked over.

The two looked at each other, both having uncontrollable shock.

"Sword Pill!"

"Obtained by Yuding Foundation Establishment true cultivator with life-bound true fire and spiritual power, cultivated for twenty-five years."

"Originally a magic treasure embryo, after the owner died, the grade remained unchanged, but it can never be improved for life, unless you master the Yuding Sword Sect's Sword Pill cultivation secret method and switch to the sword path."

"Now the grade is top-grade, and the functions are size as you wish, sword light differentiation, giant sword technique."

"The disadvantage, besides being unable to improve the grade, is that it requires the cultivator's spiritual sense to be released, or to have extremely strong magic tool control ability."

"Starting price, five thousand low-grade spirit stones!"

"Each price increase must not be less than one hundred."

Tian Xingzi's words sounded like a great bell, and like a hammer hitting a bell, the lingering sound was endless.

In the hall, after a brief silence, there was a crazy commotion.

Sword Pill!

A Sword Pill from a Yuding Foundation Establishment true cultivator!

What does this mean?

Everyone knows clearly.

In that ghost city, a great battle broke out, sending a Jin Dan sword cultivator to his death.

According to what everyone knows, besides that Jin Dan sword cultivator, there were two other Foundation Establishment sword cultivators.

That is to say, this Sword Pill either came from the outer sect deacon Miao Wen or the true disciple Luo Tianhong.

The key is!

How dare their Zhenlong Black Market take it out for auction?

Don't they want their lives?

Or rather, do they want to finish this vote and run away directly?

The commotion continued to expand, no longer limited to sound transmission, and some people even spoke directly.

Many people even questioned Tian Xingzi.

"If we auction this Sword Pill, aren't we afraid of the Yuding Sword Sect looking for trouble?"

"This is stolen goods!"

"The cause and effect are too big, don't get involved, don't get involved!"

Tian Xingzi didn't explain; black market auction, you talk to me about fear of subsequent trouble?

Fear of revenge from enemies?

Moreover, isn't his purpose the current situation?

Directly attracting everyone's attention.

And demonstrating the invisible powerful strength of the Zhenlong Black Market.

As for whether it can be auctioned, he doesn't care.

He just smiled, "Is there no one bidding?"

It's not that no one wants to bid, but no one dares to bid.

Just in this silence, a voice sounded from the corner.

"Five thousand!"

Under the mask, Tian Xingzi raised his eyebrows.

He smiled, "Very good, it seems there are still people who know goods!"

"Five thousand spirit stones once!"

After reporting the price once, seeing no one bidding.

He added another advantage of this Sword Pill.

"Although it is top-grade, the Sword Pill does not have the disadvantages commonly possessed by top-grade magic tools."

"Its consumption of spiritual power is not large, only to the extent of a high-grade magic tool."

As soon as this was said, everyone was moved again.

Especially the Qi Refining stage loose cultivators!

A top-grade magic tool that doesn't consume much spiritual power, even if it can't be advanced for life, is very useful!

Considering the revenge of the Yuding Sword Sect, everyone remained silent.

"Oh, there is one more point, I forgot to say."

Tian Xingzi seemed to be whetting people's appetite, slowly adding another advantage.

"This treasure has already had the previous owner's spiritual sense wiped away, and it only needs a little sacrifice to be used."

At this time, there was finally a second bidding voice.

"Five thousand six hundred spirit stones."

Tian Xingzi turned his head to look, only to see it was a Foundation Establishment true cultivator sitting on a chair on the right.

It's an acquaintance!

"Five thousand six hundred spirit stones!"

In the corner, the one who bid first competed again.

Everyone held their breath, a Qi Refining stage loose cultivator actually dared to snatch things from a Foundation Establishment true cultivator.

Isn't he afraid of being taught a lesson by the Foundation Establishment cultivator after going out?

Moreover, ordinary Qi Refining loose cultivators, where can they compete with the net worth of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

But strangely, that old voice never sounded again.

"Five thousand six, once."

"Five thousand six, twice."

"Five thousand six... three times, sold!"

Tian Xingzi didn't whet the appetite anymore and directly put the Sword Pill into the jade box.

On the way back, Luo Chen walked up and calmly took out five thousand six hundred spirit stones.

After delivery, the Sword Pill was in hand.

On the way back, everyone watched his figure, not knowing what confidence this person had to dare to auction this Sword Pill.

Isn't he afraid of the Yuding Sword Sect's revenge?

Besides doubt, there was uncontrollable envy, and even jealousy.

A Sword Pill comparable to a top-grade magic tool!

And it doesn't consume much magic power, as long as you have a sufficiently superb magic tool control ability.

Although many people don't have the latter point, for this powerful attack means, they can fully go to practice!

Such a treasure, in the past, would have been auctioned for seven or eight thousand high prices!

This person, however, only used five thousand six hundred spirit stones to get it.

How can it not make people envious.

Luo Chen could feel those hundreds of gazes, even including the good brother Wang Yuan's.

But he didn't care.

Such a treasure should belong to him!

He had seen the power of the Sword Pill.

On the Lancang River, the magic cultivator had many means, but couldn't resist Pang Renxiong's one person and one sword.

Even if he didn't have the corresponding sword path cultivation method, and didn't have the spiritual sense that could be released, he had a sufficiently exquisite magic tool control ability!

It's not just as simple as exquisite.

The Great Perfection Traction Technique had already brought his magic tool control to the peak level.

As strong as the late-stage Qi Refining Qiu Bai, even if he tried his best, he could only release six dragons from the top-grade magic tool Green Musk Gathering Dragon Flag.

But he was only at the eighth level of Qi Refining at the beginning, and he could summon six.

Relying on the Great Perfection Traction Technique.

Therefore, after getting this treasure, he didn't worry about how to control it.

The reason for buying it was still to supplement his combat means.

The Green Musk Gathering Dragon Flag is very strong, but the consumption of spiritual power is too great, and it wins in flexibility and variety, and it is more useful for long-term combat when combined with Green Musk Poison Incense.

But for frontal strong attack, it was always a bit lacking.

Qiu Bai's full-strength blow at the beginning didn't kill the Sima three cultivators.

He used this to fight Fu Zhang at the beginning, and also had to add a Great Perfection Fireball Technique.

It can be seen that the power was not that strong.

But the Sword Pill is different.

Giant Sword Technique, he had seen it!

Pang Renxiong's shocking sword on the Lancang River, the sword energy turning into a dragon on Mount Luofeng, were all variations of the Giant Sword Technique.

With this treasure, he could make up for his ability to attack frontally.

"Five thousand six, it's really picking up a huge bargain!"

Luo Chen smiled and put away the Sword Pill, watching everyone bidding for the various treasures Tian Xingzi took out.

He knew that this kind of bargain couldn't be picked up casually.

He just used the current special situation.

No one dared to want this hot potato!

Even Foundation Establishment true cultivators gave up after a simple bid.

But he is different!

First, the Zhenlong Black Market dared to take it out for auction, it must have confidence.

Luo Chen didn't know where the confidence came from.

But the other party didn't run away, so there must be a reason.

Second, I have to mention the "deep relationship" between Luo Chen and the Yuding Sword Sect!

Even if the Yuding Sword Sect returns and finds him.

He also has an excuse!

I gained Elder Pang's trust, and even when the situation was difficult, I tried my best to recover the relics of the Sword Sect cultivators.

Maybe the Yuding Sword Sect would even reward him.

"A bottle of Tongming Liquid!"

"Produced by the Yuding Sword Sect, second-rank spiritual medicine, long-term use can cause eye mutation in cultivators. Small success can distinguish true from false, great success can see through falsehood, and see formations and restrictions as nothing."

"There is no realm restriction for use."

"Starting price five hundred spirit stones, each price increase must not be less than ten."

"Fellow Daoists, please!"

It's another thing from the Yuding Sword Sect!

The atmosphere, which had been increasingly enthusiastic by other auction items, became quiet again.

What is the background of this Zhenlong Black Market!

Wouldn't it have participated in that Jin Dan great battle?

Or, it has already led all the forces nearby, entering the ghost city one step ahead to excavate the Yuding Sword Pavilion legacy?

However, this time, it was not as cold as before.

Spiritual medicine is not like a Sword Pill.

Just auction it and use it.

"Five hundred and twenty spirit stones!"

"Five hundred and thirty!"

In the crowd, hearing the Tongming Liquid, Luo Chen got into the spirit.

This is an advanced version of the Runming Pearl Liquid!

Or rather, the Runming Pearl Liquid is just a weakened version of the Tongming Liquid.

He has been insisting on using the Runming Pearl Liquid for a long time, but he hasn't seen the specific effect.

But the Great Perfection Spirit Eye Technique has indeed brought him great convenience.

It can see through the simple spiritual energy disguise of cultivators, and can also sweep the hundred-mile range at a glance.

In the Lancang River battle, other Qi Refining stage cultivators couldn't have watched it from beginning to end like Luo Chen.

"The Spirit Eye Technique has reached Great Perfection and cannot be advanced further."

"But this pair of eyes is naturally the brighter the better."

"This thing, I must get it!"

When the bidding reached six hundred spirit stones, the enthusiastic bidding atmosphere at the scene decreased.

To put it bluntly, this is just a second-rank spiritual medicine.

Moreover, there is only one bottle, which is very difficult to use for a long time.

It was also at this time that Luo Chen joined the bidding.

"Six hundred and fifty!"

Compared to the previous dragging, ten spirit stones at a time bidding.

Adding fifty spirit stones at once is undoubtedly a big deal.

Attracting many cultivators to look sideways.

After discovering that it was the person who auctioned the Sword Pill before, many cultivators felt even more hair-raising.

Where did this person come from, and why does he want everything related to the Yuding Sword Sect?

For a time, no one took action again.

Tian Xingzi didn't care.

"Six hundred and fifty once."

"Twice."

"Six hundred and fifty... three times, sold!"

"Congratulations to this fellow Daoist!"

This time, Luo Chen didn't go up to deliver the spirit stones.

Going up before was just to check the quality of the Sword Pill in front of everyone.

This time, he used spiritual power to support six hundred and fifty spirit stones and flew them over.

Tian Xingzi also sent someone to send the Tongming Liquid to Luo Chen.

After getting it, Luo Chen checked it and put it away.

Very good!

After going back, try the effect!

In the following time, Tian Xingzi took out more treasures.

Especially elixirs and magic tools, the quantity of these two was almost ten times more than before.

Even the Nourishing Qi Elixir and Dust-Transforming Elixir often sold by the Spirit Medicine Pavilion were there.

Although the price was higher than the Spirit Medicine Pavilion, a bottle of Nourishing Qi Elixir often auctioned for a high price of one hundred and twenty or thirty, but people still bought it tirelessly.

No other reason!

Now the Spirit Medicine Pavilion has left Dahefang, even if the spiritual energy in Mount Luofeng overflows, it is not very capable of supporting the appetite of late-stage Qi Refining cultivators.

Luo Chen even took action and auctioned five bottles of Dust-Transforming Elixir.

Spent one thousand three hundred spirit stones, which was three hundred more expensive than usual.

This is almost enough to buy another bottle and a half.

But this thing, the more the better.

Under the current situation, hoarding more is never wrong.

After spending another one thousand spirit stones to buy ten portions of Gold Quality Jade Liquid from Taishan Market, Luo Chen couldn't help it.

"How many elixirs and magic tools did this Zhenlong Black Market hoard!"

"They seem to have known about the current situation long ago, so they specially prepared for it to make a big profit!"

"If this is really the case, then releasing the three Ghost Kings and besieging Pang Renxiong was definitely not a sudden whim. But a conspiracy that had been prepared for a long time."

"Then, when did it start?"

Pang Renxiong returned to Dahefang?

Killing the late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator Fei Bowen of Mount Ailao?

It wouldn't be that they were already prepared when the Dao Discussion Platform opened, would it?

Luo Chen couldn't guess the specific situation, because at that time, he was only in the middle stage of Qi Refining, and the connections he came into contact with couldn't understand these things at all.

He only knew that the Zhenlong Black Market made a fortune this time!

The auction was still continuing.

Not only did Luo Chen have a great harvest, but other loose cultivators also actively joined in.

Even Wang Yuan took action many times one after another, purchasing the resources he needed.

Among them, a pair of top-grade magic tool gloves was auctioned by him for a low price of six thousand five hundred spirit stones.

If it were in the past, it would have triggered a bidding frenzy.

But today, it seemed ordinary.

The shortcomings of those gloves were really too big.

Besides the common disadvantage of spiritual energy consumption, it also requires a physique comparable to a second-rank monster, otherwise it will reverse-swallow the cultivator's flesh and blood.

A top-grade magic tool that is somewhat demonic.

However, Luo Chen didn't worry about this.

In terms of physical strength, in the current Dahefang, few people can compare with Wang Yuan.

The long host bidding stage ended after a complete second-rank monster corpse was sold.

"It's a big deal, actually being able to kill a second-rank monster."

Luo Chen muttered, and immediately stepped forward to auction his things.

Nothing else, Burning Blood Elixir!

I have to say, this thing really has a market.

Especially in the current situation.

Luo Chen took out a total of ten Burning Blood Elixirs, preparing to make a big auction.

Never expected that as soon as it was hung up, Tian Xingzi spoke suddenly.

"One hundred and fifty spirit stones each, I want them all!"

As soon as this was said, no one dared to speak again.

Everyone still had to give face to the black market owner, even the other six Foundation Establishment cultivators tacitly did not bid.

Luo Chen naturally had no objection.

One hundred and fifty spirit stones each, which was a 50% premium compared to previous auctions.

It also saved him a lot of effort.

After the money and goods were cleared, he returned one thousand five.

Luo Chen breathed a small sigh of relief; today he bought Sword Pill and elixirs, spending seven thousand five hundred and fifty spirit stones, which was a huge bleeding.

The spirit stones on his body were only less than thirteen thousand left.

Now returning a small bite, it is considered stopping the bleeding.

"It seems that besides refining Yuxui Elixir every day, I have to spend more time refining Burning Blood Elixir."

"It's fast to make money, and I don't have to worry about buyers."

Just as Luo Chen was calculating this, a sound transmission entered his ear.

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows and left the place, heading straight for Tian Xingzi.

Many people discovered this scene, although curious, no one dared to eavesdrop, and still actively participated in the bidding between cultivators.

Wang Yuan's gaze followed Luo Chen, with a trace of worry.

Coming to Tian Xingzi's side, before Luo Chen could speak, Tian Xingzi cast a spiritual power.

A thick sound-insulating cover shrouded the two.

"Senior, what is your instruction?"

Tian Xingzi smiled, "Little friend, are you an alchemist? I observe you, came three times, and all three times auctioned many Burning Blood Elixirs."

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows and avoided talking about it.

"This junior is not an alchemist, just know a friend."

"Is that so?"

Tian Xingzi didn't get to the bottom of it and stated his intention directly.

After listening to the other party's intention, Luo Chen was surprised, "Cooperation?"
