If these stolen goods, black goods and other things that are not visible to the light and are strictly forbidden to be traded and circulated are to be turned into spiritual stones, elixirs, and various usable resources, a reasonable channel for selling stolen goods is needed.
People's hearts are drawn to profit. Faced with the huge hidden interests, several gray cultivating sects joined forces to form a "dark market" in Qingzhou Territory where no one cares.
The dark market is extremely lively. Not only the righteous monks, but also the demonic monks frequently appear here, and there are also many casual cultivators from outside the world.
Most of the treasures sold at dark market stalls, such as ores, residual treasures, elixirs, elixirs, etc., are of unknown origin.
They may be stolen goods from murders and robberies, or they may be treasures found by exploring ruins and excavating tombs. What's more, there are also many things that some people have deliberately manipulated, deliberately disguising garbage as treasures.
Anyway, no one knows the power and performance of these treasures, whether they are useful or not, good or bad. They are piled up in a mess and left to people to choose. It all depends on personal vision and luck.
With good luck, you can make a fortune by choosing an extremely rare treasure at a small cost.
If you are unlucky, you will go bankrupt and lose all your money.
This is gambling.
Nine out of ten gamblers lose, and losing everything is worse than a pig!
Wu Tao came all the way to this dark market just to try his luck at these stalls and see if he could get something useful.
…
"The thirty-six pieces of Xuanling Blood Jade, a remnant treasure from ancient times, are a complete set of treasures. They only cost one hundred and fifteen spiritual stones. They only cost one hundred and five spiritual stones. If you pass by, don't miss them."
"The Eight Treasures Purple Qi elixir is based on four kinds of elixirs and is refined with four kinds of spiritual water. The price of an Eight Treasures Purple Qi elixir is only 300 spiritual stones. While stocks last, Action is better than excitement, so what are you waiting for?"
"Come and take a look! The technique unearthed from the tomb of the great monk in the Yuanying period, the Immortality Technique, can be taken away with fifty spiritual stones! It can be taken away with fifty spiritual stones!"
The dark market is a mixed bag, and although stall owners sell a lot of good stuff, whether you can buy the real thing depends on your vision, luck, and experience.
"Hey, little brother, don't leave. What do you want to buy? I am the sixth of my class who travels all over the country. I have a good character and an honest heart. There are a lot of good things in the stalls. Do you want to take a look?"
A burly man with a rough appearance and a rather weathered face greeted Wu Tao. In front of him, there was a retractable stall of low-grade magical instruments, with various items placed on it like a grocery stall. Things, various items have different uses, and it looks very messy.
This handsome man's cultivation level is the same as that of Wu Tao, who is at the thirteenth level of Qi training period.
"Good character, honest heart..."
When Wu Tao heard this, he sneered.
I'm afraid this is a lie, and even ghosts won't believe it.
In this place where people cannibalize people, honest and honest stall owners have long been eaten to the point of being eaten down to the skin and bones.
The stall owners who are able to gain a foothold here are all cunning and ruthless people who do one thing in front of others and another behind their backs.
But it doesn't hurt to take a look. Then Wu Tao turned around, took a look at his stall, shook his head, and was about to leave.
Seeing this, Ban Laoliu, a tough guy, quickly stopped Wu Tao and said, "Little brother, don't leave. Whatever you want, as long as you tell me, I, Ban Laoliu, can help you find it!"
Wu Tao curled his lips, this guy had a loud voice, and he was not afraid of the wind flashing his tongue. However, due to some special reasons, Wu Tao did not expose him immediately.
I saw Wu Tao funnyly picking up a crimson broken sword that looked like it existed in ancient times from the stall, and asked: "How can I sell this dagger?"
Hearing this, the big-headed man's eyes lit up, he coughed, and then introduced: "Brother, I have a good eye. This Four-Flame Flame Crystal Sword is a treasure found in the ruins of an ancient battlefield. Although it is a bit broken, it is also a genuine piece of junk."
Bao, let’s do this. It’s the first time for this little brother to come to the sixth place in our class to buy something. Thank you for your patronage, I’ll give you a 40% discount and you can take away the 800 spiritual stones!”
Wu Tao weighed the crimson remnant sword in his hand, looked at it carefully, and nodded. It indeed looked like an ancient remnant treasure that had been around for a long time.
Seeing this, the handsome man smiled proudly and said, "How about little brother? It's really good, isn't it? Eight hundred spiritual stones are not expensive."
Wu Tao's face suddenly changed, he snorted coldly, and pulled hard with his hands with some disdain. The crimson sword was easily bent into an arc by him, and it looked like it was about to break.
The tough guy Ban Laoliu was obviously a sophisticated person, so he immediately kept silent.
Wu Tao threw the crimson broken sword back to the stall and said coldly: "The sword body is easy to break and the tip is not sharp. I don't think it is too strong when used to kill chickens. Just this thing can last for more than ten years."
Ten thousand years? However, the craftsmanship of the old layer of this sword is quite good. It is obvious that he has some skills. It cannot be your craftsmanship, right?"
When Ban Laoliu looked at Wu Tao at this moment, he looked like he had seen a ghost, because everything Wu Tao said was very similar to the true condition of his crimson sword.
The stall owners who were watching the excitement around saw Ban Laoliu's expression and Wu Tao's disdain. They didn't know that the young man in front of them had seen through his hypocrisy, and they all laughed at Ban Laoliu, but when they looked at Wu Tao,
, can’t help but feel a little less contemptuous.
And this is what Wu Tao Zheng wants. Despite Wu Tao's fiery eyes, he can tell at a glance that the crimson broken sword is fake, and he really thinks that Wu Tao has a very good vision.
In fact, Wu Tao only has half a belly of ink and can spot some of the simplest counterfeiting methods. Faced with fakes with slightly more complicated methods, Wu Tao will still be blinded.
If it wasn't for the purpose of leaving a preconceived impression on other stall owners in the dark market, how could Wu Tao, with his shrewdness, easily offend the stall owner Ban Laoliu.
…
Wu Tao was wandering around and then came to another stall nearby. On this stall, there were many bottles and jars of elixirs. Some bottles looked like they were unearthed in one batch, as if they were ancient or ancient.
, the treasure elixir from the ancient era, the jade bottle still has a lingering earthy smell.
Wu Tao was holding a bottle of such elixir at this time and observing it with his spiritual consciousness. However, these elixirs had been buried for at least hundreds of thousands of years and had already lost their medicinal fragrance and spirituality, and the white jade bottles were not allowed to be opened at the stall.
, so it can only be judged based on the texture of the white jade bottle and the sealing method.
Under such a difficult situation, even an alchemist who is skilled in alchemy would be easily distracted, let alone Wu Tao!
There was a trace of hesitation in Wu Tao's eyes, and he whispered to himself: "Is the elixir in this white jade bottle a treasure elixir or a useless elixir..."
"Hehe, brother, no one knows whether the elixir in this is a treasure elixir or a useless elixir. It's all based on gambling. If it is a bottle of treasure elixir, you will naturally make a thousand times more money! But if it doesn't work out, there is a treasure inside.
A bottle of dust is worthless." The stall owner was a man in his twenties. He looked at Wu Tao and explained calmly.
Perhaps because of the previous lesson from Ban Laoliu, he didn't say much.
Wu Tao hesitated again and again, but put down the white jade bottle, and picked up a purple wooden bottle and shook it. There was a sound of some pills clashing inside. Seeing this, the stall owner in his twenties immediately raised his hand to stop Wu Tao, signaling that Wu Tao could not
If you shake it again, it's a violation of the rules.
…
At this moment, there was a loud noise nearby, mixed with curses, which attracted Wu Tao's attention.
Wu Tao looked up and saw a pair of young men and women, who could be called wall figures, standing side by side. The man was handsome and tall, and the woman was as beautiful as a flower. They were obviously a couple in love.
The male has the cultivation level of the twelfth level of Qi training period, while the female has the cultivation level of the tenth level of Qi training period.
"What's going on with your stall? I've bought hundreds of rough stones, but there's no treasure at all. Are you trying to trick me by selling fakes?"
"Ah, this is genuine rough stone from the tiankeng. All kinds of treasures can be cut out. If you bought hundreds of rough stones and no treasures were cut out, I can only say that you are unlucky. What do you have to do with me?
relation?"
"I don't care, just return my spirit stone to me and I'll leave now."
"Fuck you, kid. I, Jiang Jin, am not a vegetarian. If you want to bully me, are you worthy?"
The man had an angry look on his face and had a loud quarrel with a hot-tempered stall owner, while the girl, being watched by so many people, had a reddish face, a little shy, and even more delicate.
"Who is this man? He looks so crazy!"
"It seems? He should be a child of a big family! Otherwise, he wouldn't be so arrogant?"
"Even if he is a member of a big family, why would he say such a thing?"
"Maybe he lost his fortune because of gambling. After all, these few hundred yuan are worth a lot of spiritual stones."
"What? Why is this person like this? You rely on luck to cut rough stones. If you have bad luck, you have to rely on others!"
"Shh! Speak softly, don't let him hear you. This guy seems to be very vindictive. It would be terrible if he catches his eye!"
"What are you afraid of? With so many of us, we can't defeat him!"
"Yeah, what's so scary about a poor guy who loses a bet!"
"Boy, be sharp. This is a dark market, not a place where you can be arrogant."
"That is, if you want to seek death, we will send you to see the King of Hell..."
Seeing this, nearby stall owners and passers-by pointed at the young man.
When the young man saw everyone talking about him like this, his face suddenly darkened, but he saw the faint hostility of everyone and the unfavorable situation for him at this time...
A vicious look flashed in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up and kept the same look. Except for Wu Tao, who was watching coldly, only a few people who were also experienced in accidents discovered this.
The young man finally endured it and left the place with his female companion in despair.
Seeing that there was no excitement to be seen, Wu Tao continued to look for bottles that might contain elixirs in the previous stalls. After picking and choosing, Wu Tao finally chose five bottles of elixirs and spent 240 spiritual stones. The result was five bottles of elixirs.
, all are waste elixirs.
This time, Wu Tao lost all his money in compensation. He sighed and had no choice but to admit his defeat. It was useless to blame anyone for his poor eyesight.
Wu Tao left the dark market with a sad look on his face.
