Volume 1 Chapter 54 West City Black Market
Gu Xiao turned around and saw Mo Jing looking at him with a serious expression. He couldn't help but grinned and said worriedly: "I know a little bit..."
"You just know a little bit..." Mo Jing pondered, with a hint of disappointment on his face, but soon he realized something was wrong, and his expression returned to normal and he nodded.
Little did he know that his extremely rapid change had a big impact on Gu Xiao.
Gu Xiao glanced at Mo Jing speechlessly, then glanced at the surrounding stalls.
Although Gu Xiao only knew a little bit about Taobao, he still had some confidence because of the existence of Juetianlu.
After all, the things that have made Jue Tian Lu react so far are, apart from Cheng Fei's inheritance, the Tian Hui Bing, which are all things that ordinary people cannot obtain.
This black market in Xicheng has a total of three streets and hundreds of stalls of different sizes. Calculating the probability, there will always be one or two fish that slip through the net.
Unfortunately, Gu Xiao walked two streets and looked at more than half of the stalls, but Jue Tianlu didn't respond at all, which made Gu Xiao look a little unhappy.
Gu Xiao's dissatisfaction was so obvious that Mo Jing sighed slightly when he noticed it.
Along the way, he had actually discovered a lot of good things, some of which were comparable in value to the golden ring and lotus, but Gu Xiao turned a blind eye.
After all, you are still too young...
Mo Jing shook his head, thought for a moment, glanced around, then moved towards a small stall.
This movement caught Gu Xiao's attention: "Mo Xun...Brother Mo, what do you want?"
Gu Xiao spoke, but Mo Jing seemed not to hear him. He walked to the stall and knelt down, picked up an object and started to inspect it.
Gu Xiao's mouth twitched, and he had no choice but to follow.
"Boss, how do you sell this Yue jade?"
As soon as he arrived at the stall, Mo Jing held up a piece of red and white jade with a spiral pattern and asked for the price.
When the boss heard this, he first looked at Mo Jing, and then grinned: "You can recognize Yue Yuyu at a glance, expert?"
Mo Jing smiled lightly and didn't answer.
This calm look made the boss look at Mo Jing again. After a moment, he laughed and said, "Since you are an expert, I will give you a fair price, five hundred thousand taels."
Half a million?!
When he heard the boss's quotation, Gu Xiao, who had planned to watch it with a cold eye, almost choked. He looked at the Yue Valerian Jade in Mo Jing's hand with surprise on his face.
After Mo Jing heard the price, he thought for a moment and nodded: "Well, the price is fair."
Is this fair?
Gu Xiao's surprise deepened again, and at the same time he became interested in Yue Jade, so he asked: "Brother Mo, does this Yue Jade have any special function?"
Mo Jing turned around and saw Gu Xiao's expression, and smiled slightly. Just when he was about to answer, the boss laughed and said, "This little brother, does he know about Fengmai Powder?"
Fengmai Powder...
Gu Xiao was stunned and nodded.
After all, Fengmai San, as the name suggests, can seal the meridians in the human body, and it is a common poison used to kill people and steal goods.
"Since we know about Fengmai Powder, how can we not know about Yue Valuyu?"
The boss's question confused Gu Xiaowen.
Is there any necessary connection between the two?!
Gu Xiao's face showed endless doubts. After seeing this doubt, the boss couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and his face showed surprise.
"Little brother, you haven't killed any foreign goods before! That's no wonder."
After Gu Xiao heard this sentence, he frowned. When he looked at Yue Yuyu, he also understood something in his heart.
"This Yue Val jade can be ground into Fengmai Powder, but Fengmai Powder only works on people below the level of supernatural power. If Yue Vale Jade is condensed into a pill, it will also have an effect on people who are in the level of supernatural power."
really!
Mo Jing's explanation made Gu Xiao secretly say that it was true, and at the same time his face darkened.
Seeing that Gu Xiao understood, Mo Jing ignored it and bargained with the boss for 490,000 taels.
"Inspector Mo, you, a court official, would also use such despicable methods?"
"Despicable means..."
Mo Jing was stunned for a moment and saw Gu Xiao's gloomy face and couldn't help but laugh.
"Mr. Gu, if it were you and you could escape disaster and save your life by using despicable means, would you use this method or not?"
this……
Gu Xiao was stunned and speechless.
"Not everyone is like Mr. Gu, who is protected by the Taoist Realm behind him. Just look at these people in front of you..."
After Mo Jing finished speaking, he pointed at the vendors and pedestrians. Gu Xiao turned his head and frowned slightly.
Because the faces of the people in front of them were full of caution. Even if they passed each other, both sides showed obvious wariness, and they understood what Mo Jing meant.
"Been taught a lesson."
Gu Xiao looked solemn and hugged Mo Jing, who chuckled and shook his head.
"Besides this Yue Jade, is there anything else?"
Hearing Gu Xiao's words, Mo Jing laughed again, but didn't say anything. After glancing at it, he walked towards a stall.
For the next half hour, Gu Xiao followed him all the way, and every time Mo Jing purchased something, he explained to Gu Xiao the purpose of purchasing the item.
Along the way, Gu Xiao got to know a lot about these murderous and illegal things, but he was also secretly frightened.
Especially some things that seemed useless but were useful for magical powers, Gu Xiao couldn't help but want to buy some for self-defense.
But the scary price made Gu Xiao retreat.
Up to this time, the three streets of the black market had been visited, but there was not a single thing, which made Jue Tianlu react and made Gu Xiao somewhat disappointed.
However, I learned a lot from Mo Jing, so it was a worthwhile trip.
After finding no treasure and getting late, Gu Xiao wanted to leave, but Mo Jing naturally had no objection.
But before he had taken two steps, Gu Xiao suddenly stopped. Mo Jing was stunned: "Mr. Gu, what's wrong?"
Gu Xiao turned his head to look at a small stall and curled his lips: "I think I found a treasure."
Found a treasure?!
Mo Jing showed doubts and was about to ask, but Gu Xiao was already walking towards the stall, so Mo Jing could only follow.
But when he arrived at the stall, Mo Jing frowned after taking a look at the items being sold.
Because from his professional perspective, the things on the stall didn't really look like treasures.
When he saw someone coming, the street stall owner's eyes lit up. His eyes stayed on Gu Xiao and Mo Jing for a while, and finally fixed his eyes on Gu Xiao.
"This little brother, does he have something he likes?"
The street stall owner looked a bit wretched, and the flattery on his face made Gu Xiao feel a little uncomfortable, but he still nodded gently.
Along the way, Gu Xiao also learned the rules of dealing with this black marketeer from Mo Jing, and directly picked up a black-spotted incense burner.
"What's the base price of this incense burner?"
As soon as Gu Xiao opened his mouth, the flattery on the stall owner's face froze, and then turned into impatience, and his attitude changed completely.
"This was brought from an alchemy cave. The aroma it emits has the effect of calming the mind and calming the energy. If there is a bottle of Qi Condensing Pill, we will not sell it if it is missing."
A bottle of Qi Condensing Pill...
Gu Xiao was stunned for a moment, looking surprised.
But it wasn't because of the price, it was because this was the first time he had ever seen elixirs traded.
Gu Xiaozheng was surprised. Mo Jing on the side heard that the elixirs were being traded, and he also became interested. He squatted down, took the incense burner and looked at it.
After looking at it for a while, Mo Jing frowned: "There's nothing special about this incense burner. It's just that the fragrance it emits can calm the mind. I'm afraid it's not worth the price!"
After Mo Jing finished speaking, the street stall owner had a straight face and snorted coldly: "Don't think that if you do some treasure appraisal, I will treat you as an expert. If you think it is expensive, you don't need to buy it."
When Mo Jing heard this and the stall owner's attitude, his brows furrowed deeper and he snorted coldly, put down the incense burner and pulled Gu Xiao away.
"Brother Mo, don't be anxious!"
Gu Xiao gently dodged Mo Jing's pull, then looked at the stall owner and smiled.
"Boss, otherwise, a bottle of Qi Condensing Pill is too cheap, I will add fifty solid talismans and fifty magical walking talismans!"
…
this……
Gu Xiao's words made the stall owner numb on the spot, and Mo Jing's eyes widened, unable to understand!
Not to mention these two people, even the street stall owners on the left and right were shocked.
I have been in the black market for so long, and every day I encounter people who want to pick up the missing items and try their best to lower the price. This is the first time I have seen someone increase the price because they think it is cheap!
But he was shocked. The street stall owner reacted immediately and smiled brightly: "You are still a little brother who knows the goods, unlike some people..."
As he said that, the stall owner glanced at Mo Jing with disgust. When Mo Jing noticed it, his face turned pale.
"Mr. Gu, there's nothing unusual about this incense burner. You'd better think twice!"
Mo Jing suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at Gu Xiao with an extremely serious expression.
After Gu Xiao saw it, he smiled lightly: "Oh! Brother Mo, you don't know something, this incense burner has a lot of history!"
Um?
Mo Jing was stunned by Gu Xiao's words, and the street stall owner's expression also changed. At the same time, the street stall owners on both sides also became interested and listened attentively.
"Brother Mo, does he know that three hundred years ago there was a talented alchemist in Yue who was astonishing to everyone?"
Mo Jing was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it for a moment, his face was shocked: "Are you talking about Qi Nan?"
Gu Xiao nodded noncommittally, but when he heard Qi Nan's name, the stall owner looked shocked and quickly looked at the incense burner in Gu Xiao's hand.
"Since Brother Mo knows Qi Nan, he naturally also knows the reason why Qi Nan became famous, right?"
Mo Jing nodded, his expression became solemn, and he also looked at the incense burner.
"Little brother, you mean, this incense burner... is Qi Nan's blazing sun green lotus cauldron?!"
At this moment, the middle-aged boss on the left spoke with a surprised look on his face. After hearing this, Gu Xiao curled up the corner of his mouth and nodded noncommittally.
When Gu Xiao nodded, everyone's expressions changed.
"Ahem! Brother Mo, now you know why I bought it!"
After Gu Xiao finished speaking, he looked proud. When Mo Jing saw it, he nodded solemnly.
"Boss, I am a fair person and cannot let you suffer too much. In this way, I will increase the solid talisman and the magical talisman to seventy..."
As Gu Xiao said this, he turned over his hand and took out a thick stack of talismans and started counting.
When the stall owner saw this, his expression changed, and he snatched the incense burner that Gu Xiao had put down in his hand.
Chapter completed!
