In the early morning, the morning sun shines into Yaju.

Warm light hits the face of the young man sitting cross-legged.

Ye Chen moved his brows slightly, opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and then looked out the window, seeing a touch of green.

He jumped out of bed, stretched his muscles, and opened the door. The pleasant breeze blew on his face, making people sigh at the fresh and elegant environment of the outer courtyard.

"Xingying, how long have I slept?"

Feeling that the twelve meridians in his body had changed, and that his cultivation had reached the perfection level of the late Qi-entraining realm, and that he was only one step away from the Shenzang realm with the concept of dual cultivation of law and body, Ye Chen's face showed a joyful expression.

"one day one Night."

A gentle voice came from deep within her heart. Xingying spoke calmly and softly: "In other words, you may be a little nervous...Tomorrow is the clan meeting of the Ye clan."

"What? Tomorrow?!"

Feeling nervous quickly surged into his heart, Ye Chen frowned and quickly walked out of the room.

However, the next second, he froze in place again.

After a short pause, Ye Chen said to himself: "Tomorrow is tomorrow. I'm almost ready. I'm so nervous."

"Go out for a walk."

After muttering casually, the young man turned around and returned to the room.

After washing and tidying up, he changed into a brand new green shirt and white robe from Stargazing Academy. He picked a thin leaf from the grass in front of the door and held it in his mouth. Ye Chen walked through the gate of the outer courtyard and arrived at the market in Nancheng.

Standing on the crowded market street, the young man frowned slightly.

He finally remembered that he was penniless!

The only thing left that can be exchanged for some money is the rusty tetanus sword in the space ring.

"Damn it, if Qing Yin is around, there's no way he won't have money to spend!" Ye Chen gritted his teeth, walked straight along the street, and came to the door of the pawn shop where he first entered the imperial capital.

The rusty tetanus sword is a treasure that has been passed down to four generations of the Ye family.

At this moment, Ye Chen stood there, slightly hesitant. After all, it would be unreasonable to pawn such a treasure at a loss in exchange for some money.

And now, he is not short of money.

Sighing, Ye Chen turned around and prepared to leave.

However, at this moment, the middle-aged man behind the pawn shop counter accidentally saw the figure in a blue shirt and white robe.

With just one glance, he recognized the young man whom Murong Xian, the leader of the Imperial City Chamber of Commerce, had personally praised.

Hurrying around the counter, the middle-aged man shouted loudly: "Little friend Su Cheng, please stay!"

When Ye Chen heard the name "Su Cheng", he didn't react immediately, but it sounded familiar and he raised his eyebrows slightly, and he suddenly stopped.

Thinking of the day when he casually agreed to Murong Xian's invitation to be the alchemist of the Demon Suppression Division, Ye Chen paused, turned around and said with a smile, "Oh, you are the shopkeeper. I haven't seen you for a few days. Business is booming, business is booming."

After saying that, Ye Chen was about to leave.

But before he even took half a step, the middle-aged man grabbed Ye Chen's sleeve and said happily: "Little friend Su Cheng turns out to be a student of Stargazing Academy!"

In the imperial capital, no one except the students of Stargazing Academy dared to wear blue shirts and long robes.

The middle-aged man smiled slightly, "Su Xiaoyou is here today to see President Murong?"

"No." Ye Chen coughed, "I was just passing by."

"Passing by?" the middle-aged man was a little confused, "Stargazing Academy is in the north of the city, and our family is in the south of the city..."

"Oh! I guess Su Xiaoyou has specially concealed his identity as the demon guard today and came to the south of the city to investigate the black market selling half-demon people!"

"No wonder Su Xiaoyou changed into the clothes of the academy. You were really thoughtful!"

"..."

Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him who was talking in a tactful manner, Ye Chen was silent for a while. He only felt that someone who could open a pawn shop and join the Imperial Chamber of Commerce was indeed extraordinary.

But when he came to the market, he was actually just wandering around out of boredom.

As for checking the black market for half-demon people...

Wait, half-demon black market?!

Half-demon people also appeared on the earth during the period of spiritual energy recovery, but the half-demon race is a kind of existence higher than human beings on the earth.

At the ruins of the Holy Land of Heaven, many strong men competed for the living "original spark", and the final winner seemed to be the fairy fox goddess of the half-demon clan.

Regarding the half-demon clan, Ye Chen's impression still remained on the peerless appearance of the Fairy Fox Goddess, and her courage in fighting against the peak of the Dao Slayer and the powerful in the Supreme Realm in the later stages of the "Tribulation Realm".

"Shh-" After withdrawing his thoughts, Ye Chen followed the middle-aged man's guess and lowered his voice, "It's okay for you, the shopkeeper, to know this matter yourself. Don't talk nonsense."

The young man's sudden seriousness was frightening. Combined with Murong Xian's previous evaluation of Ye Chen, the middle-aged man's expression immediately became solemn, and he nodded: "Xiaomin knows, Su Xiao...ah, no, it's Mr. Su!"

"Master Su, are you here to see President Murong?"

"No, I'm here to find you." Ye Chen lowered his voice and said, "The shopkeeper is well-established in the business and has a wide network of contacts. He must know the connections and specific conditions of this half-demon black market, right?"

"This..." The middle-aged man was obviously hesitant.

The space ring flashed slightly, and a jade pendant engraved with a four-clawed real dragon appeared in the young man's palm.

The middle-aged man was startled, his eyes suddenly changed, and his voice became trembling in an instant.

The well-informed business owner naturally recognized the jade pendant that represents the status of the current royal prince at a glance!

Without any time to think about it, the middle-aged man coughed dryly. After observing his surroundings, he fumbled for a folded piece of paper from his sleeve and stuffed it into Ye Chen's hand.

"Master Su, all the news you want is above. Remember to change your clothes, and... don't say that this matter was told to you by a commoner, absolutely!"

The middle-aged man took a few trembling steps back and shouted politely: "Hey, sir! I'm sorry, there is nothing you want here, please go away!"

While talking and walking, the middle-aged man retreated into the pawn shop.

Ye Chen stood there, twitching the corner of his mouth. This whole set of smooth behavior looked like he had bought and sold information many times.

Looking at the note again, it was folded squarely and neatly. I was afraid that the owner of this pawn shop might not have been diverting traffic to the black market.

Inside the pawn shop, the middle-aged man had retreated behind the counter.

He smiled flatteringly at Ye Chen, then returned to his original posture, and said coldly to the person who walked in: "Buy at a loss, give the price, and pay the price to buy something."

…

…

The black market is located at the northwest end of Nancheng Market.

Following the instructions on the note, Ye Chen walked through the crowd and came to the door of a house.

After knocking five times intermittently, a voice came from the other side of the door.

"We're closing today. The guest will come back in three days."

"Three days is too long, why not five days? I will have five thousand taels of silver in five days. Is it feasible to buy five instead of three?" Ye Chen continued to follow what was written on the note, and pressed it against the door, word by word.

The voice fell and there was silence behind the door.

With a creaking sound, a young man in civilian clothes opened the door of the house and said with a flattering smile: "Guests, please come in."

Ye Chen nodded and crossed the threshold.

Following the boy's footsteps, he walked around the rockery behind the door. The next second he was stunned.

To say that this is a black market for selling half-demon people is better to say that this is a slaughterhouse for half-demon people.

There were cages all over the floor without any cover, and countless living creatures were locked up with shiny black iron chains. In addition to some half-demon and half-human monsters, there were actually some people with normal auras.

Among the countless iron cages, there was only a small path that led directly to a tiled house.

At this time, a piercing scream came from the tiled house. Perhaps because of some secret method, the sound seemed unable to reach the outside world.

Standing there, Ye Chen frowned and his voice was cold.
