Choosing a secluded corner, Luo Chen settled down.
Wang Yuan was not far from him.
Seeing the muscles straining under his hemp clothes, Luo Chen knew that his decision was right.
It’s a different time now.
Without the numerous shops from the Inner City, the black market in the Outer City was experiencing unprecedented liveliness.
The last time only dozens of people participated, this time it had increased by three to four times, with more than three hundred people.
The previously sparse Zhenlong Hall was now crowded.
Especially the seven Foundation Establishment True Cultivators sitting on both sides, their pressure was immense.
Luo Chen looked over them one by one, and the one wearing a golden Jiaolong mask was undoubtedly Tian Xingzi.
To be honest, Luo Chen was shocked when he first entered.
The Zhenlong Black Market participated in the siege against Yu Ding Sword Pavilion, theoretically, they should have fled after the battle was over.
To his surprise, not only did they stay, but they even held the black market regularly.
Even Tian Xingzi, the head of the Foundation Establishment, didn’t leave.
“What gives them the audacity not to leave?”
Unable to figure it out, Luo Chen shifted his gaze to others.
The man in the rotten wood mask seemed familiar.
The last time the black market was held, this elderly Foundation Establishment cultivator participated and won a puppet with Qi Refinement Finalization strength and an eight hundred-year-old Heaven and Earth Roots.
For this, he even promised something to another Foundation Establishment cultivator.
“This man is so strange, always attending the black market instead of practicing, isn’t he?”
Aside from these two familiar faces, of the remaining five people, Luo Chen found it hard to guess who they were.
Each one of them gave him no sense of familiarity.
It was as if they were not local cultivators of The Great River District.
“Could they be from other places?”
“Yes, after half a month, news of The Great River District has spread, naturally attracting some powerful Foundation Establishment True Cultivators to come and investigate.”
“And the black market, besides various resource transactions, also deals in information.”
“Some important information can even fetch a high price.”
Just when Luo Chen was about to divert his attention, it stopped for an instant upon a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator who was as strong as a bear.
This man gave him a familiar feeling.
“Familiar?”
“Where have I seen him before?”
Luo Chen knitted his eyebrows, trying to recall.
While he was musing over these things, Tian Xingzi had already walked onto the sandalwood table in the middle.
He took out the Five-Color Treasure Luo Pan, as usual, tediously explaining the rules of the black market.
“I am Tian Xingzi, the master of the Zhenlong Black Market. I will be in charge of…”
“I’m delighted to see many old friends and welcome new ones.”
“The rules of our market are simple, first is the host…”
Listening quietly, Luo Chen did not interrupt until the first auction item appeared.
The moment it appeared, the atmosphere in the entire venue went quiet in an instant.
Lo Chen’s eyes showed a shock, and he turned his head.
As if sensing, Wang Yuan also looked over.
The two looked at each other, both unable to suppress their shock.
“A Sword Pill!”
“A sword pill cultivated by a Yu Ding Foundation Establishment True Cultivator with his Natal True Fire and Spirit Power for twenty-five years.”
“Originally it was the embryo of a magic item. After the master’s death, its grade did not change, but it could no longer be further enhanced unless one mastered the cultivating secret technique of the Yu Ding Sword Sect’s sword pill and switched to the Path of Sword.”
“Its current grade is top grade, capable of size adjustment and splitting into Sword Lights, and Big Sword Technique.”
“Cons: In addition to being unable to improve its grade, it requires Spirit Consciousness Release of the cultivator, or extreme Magic Tool Control ability.”
“Starting price: five thousand lower grade Spirit Stones”
“Every increment shall not be less than a hundred.”
As the voice of Tian Xingzi, like a great bell, rang out and its reverberations did not cease.
In the hall, after the brief silence, there was a crazy uproar.
A Sword Pill!
A Sword Pill from a Yu Ding Sword Sect Foundation Establishment True Cultivator!
What does it mean?
Everyone knew.
Just in that Ghost City, a battle had just taken place which caused the demise of a Golden Core Sword Cultivator.
According to everyone’s knowledge, apart from that Golden Core Sword Cultivator, there were two other Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivators.
Which is to say, this sword pill either came from External Sect steward Miao Wen or True Disciple Luo Tianhong.
But the point is!
How dare they, the Zhenlong Black Market, auction it off?
Aren’t they afraid of dying?
Or are they planning to make a big deal and then flee?
The disturbance continued to spread, not limited to voice transmissions, some had even started to voice out.
Many people even started questioning Tian Xingzi.
“If we win this sword pill, aren’t we afraid of Yu Ding Sword Sect causing trouble?”
“This is stolen goods!”
“The consequences are too severe, we can’t get involved, we simply can’t!”
Tian Xingzi did not explain, in a black market auction, you’re worrying about covered footprints?
Afraid of retaliation from enemies?
Moreover, wasn’t his objective the current situation?
To directly attract everyone’s attention.
And to showcase the hidden strength of the Zhenlong Black Market.
As for whether it could sell, he didn’t care.
All he did was laugh and say, “Isn’t anyone going to bid?”
It wasn’t that no one wanted to bid, it was that no one dared to.
In this silent moment, a voice sounded from the corner.
“Five thousand!”
Beneath his mask, Tian Xingzi’s eyebrows rose.
He laughed: “Very good, it seems we still have some connoisseurs!”
“Five thousand Spirit Stones once!”
After the first call, seeing that no one was bidding.
He mentioned another advantage of this Sword Pill.
“Although it’s top grade, this Sword Pill doesn’t have the common drawback of top grade magic tools.”
“Its consumption on Spirit Power is not large, merely equivalent to a Ascendant Grade Magic Tool.”
