Chapter 121 Underground Gold Exchange
This place is called Yishi, and he knew this place from Fu Changqing's memory.

As the name suggests, Yishi specializes in buying places that are different from ordinary things. Here you can buy pills, talismans, magical weapons, and even cultivation methods...

This market opens at midnight every night, providing a venue for martial arts practitioners and practitioners to trade.

And this kind of place exists in every province, but only in their respective central counties.

If it's not in the central county, it's called a black market.

The different market is different from the black market. Fighting is not allowed in the different market, and forced buying and selling are not allowed. The different market has a stable order. Anyone who violates the provocative order will be executed and displayed to the public.

There have been no exceptions for so many years. Countless cold corpses tell the visitors, don't violate the rules of the city!
But the black market does not have any order. It should be said that the only order in the black market is that whoever is stronger has the final say!
So the black market also represents chaos and killing.

It was the first time for Xu Changming to come to this kind of place. He was a little curious about what would be sold here, so he walked forward slowly.

This is a different market, and the stall owners didn't sell anything, but just sat on the stalls by themselves, waiting for the visitors to choose by themselves.

Xu Changming approached a booth.

I saw a few bottles and cans on it, with prices written on them.

Zhixue powder: packs of five taels, starting from ten packs
Forging bone paste: 30 taels a bottle

Gold cutting powder: 40 taels

……

There are healing medicines, plasters for practicing external skills, and poisons, all of which are related to martial arts practitioners, and the prices are also very expensive. The most common hemostasis powder costs five packs a pack.

There was nothing he was interested in, so Xu Changming continued to walk to the next booth.

Tiger bone wine: 80 taels a catty

Five poisons and one hundred tonic wine: 100 taels a catty

Deer antler old ginseng wine: 40 taels a catty

……

All the people bought at this stall were wine, and Xu Changming also saw the tiger bone wine he had brewed before.

"These are things that can be bought with silver taels, and they are not treasured things."

Now that his strength is different, his vision has also become different from before.

These things are no longer in the eyes of Xu Changming.

Xu Changming, who lost interest, directly glanced at these items that could be traded with money.

Soon he stopped near a booth.

This is a stall in the corner. The stall owner is a white-haired old man who sits cross-legged with his eyes closed and does not greet customers.

There were very few items on the stall, only three items.

But these three things, everyone passing by can't help but glance greedily.

500-year ginseng elixir, price: [-] elixir pills
600 years of Huang Jing, price: [-] pills
650 Astragalus, selling price: one hundred and one spirit pills

When he saw the old ginseng that was about to become human, the Huang Jing that was the size of a human head, and the astragalus with thick adult arms, Xu Changming wanted to drop his eyes into it.

"These are all panaceas!"

In addition to the natural elixir, there is another elixir transformed from ordinary Chinese herbal medicine.

Ordinary Chinese herbal medicine can't live for 500 years, and those who live for 500 years will become panacea!

A 500-year-old Chinese herbal medicine contains the aura equivalent to fifty spirit pills.

But ginseng can not only be eaten directly, but also used to make alchemy. Ginseng is an indispensable ingredient in a large number of alchemy recipes, so ginseng panacea is a very scarce resource, and the price it can sell is far higher than its own. The amount of aura contained in it should be high.

So a 500-year-old ginseng dare to ask for eighty spirit pills, and the price of the other two is the same.

"It's a pity, all the spirit pills in my body have been swallowed by me to cultivate, and even if I bought them, I would lose money. I don't know how to make alchemy, so I can only eat them raw. The refined spirit energy is better than the lost spirit energy. Much, it’s really worth the candle.”

"It would be great if I could buy them with gold and silver. If that happens, I will go bankrupt and buy them!"

Of course, Xu Changming also knew that this was nothing more than a delusion. The only thing that could measure the price of elixir and spiritual objects was spirit pills, and spirit pills were also spiritual objects. Only spiritual objects could be exchanged for spiritual objects. A small golden mountain as tall as a person can't be exchanged for one spirit pill!
After reluctantly looking at the three elixirs, Xu Changming turned and left resolutely.

These three elixirs are all evolved from ordinary Chinese herbal medicines, so they do not retain a characteristic of Chinese herbal medicines, that is, they can be eaten raw, and they are the best training supplements for Xu Changming.

"Unfortunately, I don't have any money, and the price the old man gave is too high, it's not worth it at all, let's forget it!"

After leaving the booth, Xu Changming didn't continue to wander around, and he soon came to the first destination of his trip.

A huge black tent with four doors open, with no light coming through the cracks in the doors.

People come and go through the four doors without any communication.

The dull atmosphere enveloped the surroundings, making people feel extremely depressing!
This tent is the legendary "Underground Gold Exchange", which accepts rewards, killing people, and receiving money. It does not participate in any battles between forces and individuals, and only acts as a middleman for receiving and issuing tasks.

And this kind of place exists in every different city, and they are all opened by the same power.

People who have been in the rivers and lakes can guess that the forces behind this underground gold exchange must be inextricably linked to the imperial court.

Otherwise, such an organization that dared to issue assassination missions openly and undertake assassination missions would have been wiped out by the six sects and the army long ago.

As for why the imperial court acquiesced in the existence of this kind of place, the reason is very simple, it is to internalize the martial arts power!
There are supernatural forces such as martial arts and Taoism in this world.

It is absolutely impossible for the country to put an end to it.

Blocking is worse than sparse
The best way is to limit these forces to a manageable range.

All kinds of rules, reputation, status, and money in the underworld, using these things to lead to constant struggles in the world, unable to form a large-scale power, to avoid the possibility of being replaced by the imperial court.

So these are the 'shackles' used to restrict martial arts practitioners.

And the gold exchange is just a good place to 'make a name' and 'make money'.

Those who are offered a reward are famous, and those who successfully win the reward are also famous. Exchange of money is a way for both black and white to become famous, and the court is also happy to see these reckless rivers and lakes, because fame and fortune kill each other.

Xia with martial arts is forbidden

Using the power of the rivers and lakes to fight against the wicked can greatly reduce the burden on the country, and it can also restrain the power of the rivers and lakes from being too strong and threatening the court.

The court naturally turned a blind eye to such a good thing.

Xu Changming came here this time in exchange for a bounty.

Both Fu Changqing and the head of Heifeng Village are well-known figures in the underworld, and their heads are naturally hanging on the reward list in Jinnan Province for many years.

Those who issued the reward order for the two were the enemies of the two, the defeated generals, and the two who were jealous, but the biggest head was the court.

The situation in the world is chaotic, and the imperial court is short of troops. They want to catch all these people, but they are powerless. They can only hope to use the power of martial arts to solve these troublemakers.

Of course, these are all secret speculations. On the bright side, because the gold exchange office does not disclose the information of the reward offerers, no one can uncover this fig leaf of the imperial court, leaving the imperial court with a bit of face!
