My skills have special effects.

Chapter 38

It wasn't until the people's voices became louder and the bamboo raft landed again that Lin Yan's mind gradually calmed down, and he couldn't wait to jump from the bamboo raft to the shore, and his heart finally fell to the ground.

In front of you is a long underground cave, on the right is the Nether River flowing with twilight, and on the left is a spacious river bank.

Zhang San pointed to a checkpoint made of stones in front, which looked like a low city gate: "Master, this is the entrance checkpoint of the ghost market. Everyone needs to pay a hundred coins to enter the ghost market, and the exit is on the other side." , It also needs a hundred coins, so after entering the market, you will not enter and exit at will."

Lin Yan nodded: "Go."

There are special guards at the checkpoint. After paying the fees to Zhang San one by one, the guard said indifferently: "In the ghost city, the use of force is strictly prohibited. Violators will be killed without mercy. That is a role model!"

The guard pointed to the place next to the river, where there were three tall wooden pillars standing, with a person hanging on each of them, twisted and twisted, silky and miserable, like torn sackcloth, swaying.

"It is said that the ghost market is populated by warriors from the noble realm, and there are also warriors from the strong realm in many big hole shops with letters A and B, so it is considered safe and stable."

Under Zhang San's guidance, Lin Yan really entered this ghost market buried deep underground.

The ghost market is built along the Nether River, but it is still a commercial market after all.

It's just that there are no artificial pavement buildings, and natural caves with irregular sizes, areas, and orientations are used instead of pavements. Borrowed by the cold light of the Nether River, there is a cold and dark tone.

There are scattered caves, some big and some small, with dim yellow lanterns hanging on the top of the caves, illuminating the rugged rock walls. In addition, most of the customers and shopkeepers wear black robes and masks. People come and go. At first glance, they seem to be Ghosts walk through underground ghost holes one by one.

"The hole shops in the ghost market are divided into four levels from high to low, A, B, C, D, and each level is numbered. The better the shop, the more goods and the more complete it is."

After the introduction, Zhang Sancai said, "Master, what do you want to buy?"

"No hurry, how long will the ghost market last?"

"Usually four hours."

"Then you take me for a walk first."

"okay!"

Then Lin Yan followed Zhang San and walked back and forth throughout the ghost market. In terms of scale, the ghost market is a bit like a simplified version of the snack street in the previous life, with caves as the pavement.

Not to mention the prohibited business of poisons, slaves, weapons, etc., there are also many places of entertainment for eating, prostitution, and beast fighting, all of which have many characteristics that arouse the bloodiest and dirty desires in people's hearts.

"Zhang San, do you know who is behind the ghost market?"

"I don't know, I just heard that many elders in the inner city often come here to have fun."

Zhang San pointed pointedly at the largest cave in the ghost city, and swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva.

There is the cave marked Jiayi. According to Zhang San, it is the place of heaven and earth, the real gold-selling cave in Ding'an City. No matter what men or women want to play and how they want to play, they can enjoy it when they enter it. The most extreme joy in the world.

After bypassing the whole ghost market, Lin Yan asked briefly after learning about the terrain of the ghost market, especially the location of the exit, "I came here mainly to buy poison. Since you are familiar with the ghost market, why don't you tell me about it? Where is the best place to buy it?"

"poison?"

Zhang San shrank his neck subconsciously, feeling a little scared in his heart.

But he didn't ask too much, thought for a while, and said, "In the ghost market, there are quite a few cave shops that sell drugs, and most of them are in the B-size and T-size. For example, in the T-size, there are seventeen, nine, five, and four. They sell poisonous substances, but there are very few types and the quality is average.

"There are also two brands in the C brand, namely No. [-] and No. [-]. It is said that they are opened by two big medical clinics in Neifang, with a complete range of products and guaranteed quality.

"Of course, the biggest one should be the No. [-] cave. The poisons sold in this cave are all unique and highly poisonous. There is no antidote in other places, but the price is very expensive."

Added together, there are seven stores.

Lin Yan nodded. It is worthwhile to ask for a guide. The layout of the ghost market is very chaotic. Let him find it by himself. I don't know how much effort it will take.

"Let's go, we've been shopping together."

First, there is the T-shaped Sijia cave shop, which is very small, more like a stall, illuminated by a small lantern, narrow and closed.

Lin Yan visited each of these stores and found that the poisons sold by these four stores were different, namely wood powder, centipede leech water, Cuifeng powder, and Guiming powder.

At the beginning, Lin Yan inquired at the pharmacy that there were only four kinds of poisons commonly used in the boundary of Ding'an City.

And the asking prices of the four shops are not cheap, ranging from three hundred cash to a tael of silver for a bottle, the price of Cuifeng Powder is the cheapest, and the price of centipede leech water is the most expensive.

After shopping around, Lin Yan went to the second shop of the C brand. The scale was obviously larger. Not only did they have four kinds of poisons, but they also had one more special poison, but the price was extremely expensive, about two taels of silver.

As for Yizi No. [-], this shop specializes in selling poisons. Lin Yan just went in and walked around, and then came out immediately.

"Five taels of spring ring water? How expensive is a bottle of aphrodisiac?
"It's called a one-time birth, ten taels? Open the door to grab money?

"There are also impermanence pills and Posheng pills, which are sold by the pill. I am crazy about money!"

Although he complained from the bottom of his heart, Lin Yan still understood the logic of the poison market.

Poisons are not sold according to their degree of toxicity, but are priced according to their concealment and ease of poisoning.

The four common poisons, such as aketo powder and Cuifeng powder, are colored, smelly and heavy-tasting. Most people will not be poisoned by this poison at all, so the price is naturally cheap.

The poisons sold in No. [-] Cave, B, are not colorless and tasteless, but they are also concealed. They can be poisoned in certain foods and are difficult to find, so they are naturally expensive.

Lin Yan doesn't need the concealment of poisons. Of course, he follows the strategy of low price and quantity, and focuses on the four basic poisons.

He went back to the No. [-] cave shop again, and at first he talked and spent half a tael of silver to persuade the shop owner to give him an equal amount of every poison.

Then pretend to go to the latrine, find a hidden corner, and taste it directly. According to the thinking of controlling variables in the previous life, taste and test one by one.

"The medicinal properties of this Cuifeng Powder are actually stronger than the Cuifeng Powder I took before.

"However, purely in terms of cost performance, Guiming Powder is the most cost-effective. Ding No. 350 costs [-] Wen a bottle, and B No. [-] costs [-] Wen a bottle, but the efficacy of the medicine is much stronger than Cui Feng San."

As the name suggests, Guiming powder is red in color and has a bitter-sweet smell when you drink it.

Then Lin Yan went to No. [-] Cave Shop Ding and No. [-] Cave Shop C respectively, bought a bottle of Guiming Powder each, and tested it in secret again.

"The medicine in No. C-[-] Cave Shop is obviously more powerful, and the portion is a bit more. It's really what you pay for. The quality of the goods in small shops tends to vary."

Immediately came to No. [-] Cave Shop C and bought Guiming Powder.

"Guests, there are not many people who buy Guiming powder. This is all of our inventory. There are [-] bottles in total. There is really no more. How about you take a look at my special seven insect poison..."

"No need, sixteen bottles will be sixteen bottles, according to the discounted price we agreed, a total of six taels."

Lin Yan handed out the money with a little pain.

The clerk in the cave obviously didn't expect such a big deal today, so he happily took the silver, and thoughtfully took a piece of black cloth, wrapped the sixteen bottles of Guiming powder tightly, and handed it to Lin Yan .

After leaving the shop, Lin Yan sighed slightly, he really couldn't help spending money, just this one item, all his savings were gone.

He is now full of qi and blood, and consumes a lot every day. Originally, a bottle of Cui Feng San could last for half a month, but now even a bottle of Gui Ming San can only last for four or five days.

If he waited for his qi and blood to change, one bottle would only last for two or three days.

Calculated in this way, one month's light consumes at least three taels of Qi and blood.

Including Yun Ti Tang, Quen Gu Gao, etc., these really expensive and precious medicines, I really don't know how much they will cost.

Of course, according to the same efficient plan, other people want to do it, and the cost is at least ten times that of him.

"Dragon Gate Hall has resources to pour into genius disciples. After the transformation of Qi and blood, maybe you can find an opportunity to enter the Guangchuan Mountains, falsely claiming to pick up precious medicine and restore your talent..."

Shaking his head, he didn't think about it for the time being.

He turned his head and glanced at Zhang San who was following behind him. This man was very sensible, he didn't ask a word, and he had an attitude of doing good service.

The main business has been completed, and the time is still early, Lin Yan said: "Zhang San, is there any place related to martial arts in the ghost city?"

Zhang San replied in a timely manner: "Yes, in the second cave, there are martial arts medicines and weapons for sale; in the third cave, there is an arena, where warriors fight."

Lin Yan's heart moved slightly: "Go, let's go and have a look."

The two first went to Jiasan Cave, where there was a huge space filled with torches.

In the dim light of the fire, three arenas were surrounded, two arenas were fighting desperately, and in the third arena, one person was fighting with two ferocious hounds like calves.

There was obviously a gambling arena in this ring, and the crowd in the audience shouted angrily, the smell of breath, feet, and sweat filled the air, and the smell was smoky and foul.

On the stone walls on both sides, there are many elegant seats dug out by hand, many men and women dressed in Chinese costumes sit high-end, drinking and having fun while overlooking the ring, elegant and calm.

Speaking of which, if you want to practice in actual combat, this arena is a good place.

But Lin Yan's life is stable now, and he can't risk his life to fight and break through.

After only staying for a while, he couldn't stand the noisy environment, so he retreated and went to Jiaer Cave to see and see.

A, B, C, and D are ranked according to size, and the first, second, and third holes of A are not connected together.

Jiaerdong is not far from the exit of the ghost market, just opposite to Yierdong. Lin Yan has been here just now.

Passing by the entrance of the second hole again, Lin Yan saw that there seemed to be many passers-by outside.

Looking inside, there is poison master Gan Yang sitting in the cave, with two waiters beside him, who do not know what they are doing, attracting passers-by to stop.

"Let's go."

Lin Yan didn't have any curiosity, so he turned back and walked into Jiaer Cave.

The environment layout in Jiaer Cave is obviously much more elegant, and the cabinets and pavilions are neatly arranged.

Although the interior is still a blue-gray rock wall, there are many lanterns inlaid with square nails. With the light blue brilliance of the Nether River, the whole cave is illuminated elegantly and cleanly.

"Hello, guest."

In the darkness, a plump woman in a red dress walked out step by step, exhaling like orchid.
