Comprehensive martial arts: start with a fire dragon ball

Chapter 50 Auction

Chu Wanxin looked at the brightly lit world in front of him. Although it was not the first time he saw it, he was still very shocked.

Here is the black market, a world that belongs exclusively to the night and the rivers and lakes.

Seeing all the people with masks covering their faces and the street vendors setting up stalls in front of him, Chu Wan couldn't help sighing that this world is really magical.

You must know that this black market is located tens of meters underground in the north of Yanjing City, but Chu Wanxin was in it, but he didn't feel depressed at all.

Being able to accommodate so many people to move together here, it is obvious that the ventilation effect of this black market is excellent.

Not only that, the current Yanjing City is in the middle of the night, except for a few special places, the whole city has fallen into silence.

But Chu Wanxin was walking on the streets in the north of the city just now, but he didn't feel any movement coming from the ground.

Obviously, the sound insulation effect of the black market here is also very good.

This made Chu Wanxin sigh with emotion. The person who built this place was obviously a master who was well versed in architecture.

There are very few people with such abilities in this world, and it is very difficult to invite each of them.

Therefore, as for the person behind the black market, Chu Wanxin had already guessed when he first came here.

After all, it's okay to quietly build such an underground world in Yanjing City, under the capital of the Ming Dynasty. Besides the imperial court itself, who else has this ability.

As for why the imperial court did this, Chu Wanxin also had his own guesses.

First of all, one of the reasons for building this black market is, of course, to separate the two groups of people in the rivers and lakes from the common people.

After all, martial arts are so prosperous in this world, even the imperial court can't completely ban martial artists from entering Yanjing City.

Therefore, creating a world dedicated to the activities of people in the world and formulating some rules that are beneficial to the court is a matter of getting the best of both worlds.

Secondly, this black market can bring great profits to the imperial court.

You know, people in the Jianghu like to "rob the rich and help the poor" most of the time, so most warriors will have some savings.

In this way, the turnover in this black market every night is an astronomical figure, so the black market can earn a lot of money for the court every day.

And Chu Wanxin felt that the reason why Zhu Di built this black market in the first place was actually a last resort.

After all, Zhu Di launched the "Battle of Jingnan" and successfully won the throne, which was not justified.

So Shengsheng built this Yanjing City in his own fief, and before Jianwen was defeated, he deliberately hid a large amount of treasure in Wei Guogong's mansion.

Therefore, Chu Wanxin reckoned that when Zhu Di had just ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, Ming's treasury must have been empty like never before.

To be able to build this Yanjing City, it is possible to owe a lot of debts, so they have to make money in this way.

However, it is estimated that Zhu Di never thought that the effect of this black market would be so good, and it could bring him such a large profit, which made him reluctant to close this black market at all.

Otherwise, with his personality, since the financial pressure of the imperial court has gradually eased, how could he bear the existence of such a scam under his nose, and he would have wiped out this black market long ago.

"call!"

Looking at the scene of people coming and going in front of him, Chu Wanxin, who was a little lost in thought, let out a long sigh of relief, and then walked towards the place Gu Chun said.

Many people in the black market are dressed like Chu Wanxin, so he didn't attract much attention from the crowd.

After a while, a gorgeous three-story building appeared in Chu Wanxin's sight.

"Lanting Pavilion!"

After looking at the words on the plaque of the small building and confirming that he had come to the right place, Chu Wanxin walked directly towards the Lanting Pavilion.

When he came to the gate, Chu Wanxin saw two burly men dressed in black standing quietly in front of the gate, watching the pedestrians coming and going in front of him.

"Please show the invitation letter!"

Seeing Chu Wanxin walking straight towards him, the two guarding the gate immediately stretched out their hands to signal Chu Wanxin to stop.

Seeing such a situation, Chu Wanxin didn't say a word, but quietly took out the invitation letter from his bosom and handed it over.

"Please come inside the distinguished guest!"

After receiving the invitation letter from Chu Wanxin and carefully looking at it, the two immediately reached out their hands to signal that they could go in.

After entering the Lanting Pavilion, Chu Wanxin went straight up to the second floor under the guidance of a maid.

After arriving on the second floor, Chu Wanxin discovered that the second floor was very empty, and the central area was a high platform, which was obviously the place for the auction to display items.

Around the high platform, there were rows of separated seats, and Chu Wanxin was led to one of the seats by the maid.

And the third floor of the Lanting Pavilion is a circle of small private rooms, which are obviously reserved for the important figures in Yanjing City or famous figures in the martial arts.

Chu Wanxin paid 100 taels of silver for the tickets, which could only support him to sit on the second floor.

After sitting in his seat, Chu Wanxin looked around and found that there were already many people sitting on the seats on the second floor, and some people were still being ushered in by the maids.

Most of the private rooms on the third floor were already lit up, obviously there were already people in them.

After a while, the seats on the second floor were already full.

Seeing this situation, Chu Wanxin estimated that the auction will officially start soon.

And the facts were exactly as Chu Wanxin had imagined. After a while, I saw maids walking up to the high platform in the middle of the second floor holding trays covered in red cloth.

Then, I heard a bronze bell chirping softly, which spread throughout the venue.

Then, a thin middle-aged man with a goatee mustache walked onto the stage, coughed twice, and said loudly:
"Dear distinguished guests, my name is Qian Gui, and I am invited to preside over this auction. All the rules remain the same. Both the money and the goods are paid on the spot. If you don't have enough cash, you can also take the real thing as collateral. Come, then I think everyone understands the consequences."

As soon as Qian Gui finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to make a gesture, and then a girl behind him came to him with a plate covered by a red cloth.

"Today's first treasure is a bottle of Qi Gathering Pills. There are a hundred of them in total. After inspection by Lanting Pavilion, they are all good products. Now they are packaged for sale. The starting price is 100 taels of gold."

100 taels of gold equals 1000 taels of silver, which is equivalent to the current value of each Qi Gathering Pill at ten taels of silver.

And this Qi Gathering Pill is an auxiliary pill for martial artists in the Tongmai Realm to practice.

Eating one Qi Gathering Pill during cultivation can double your success, and it also has a certain effect of warming and nourishing the meridians, which is extremely effective.

Therefore, after Qian Gui finished speaking, more than a dozen martial artists started bidding.

It's a pity that although this Qi Gathering Pill is good, it is useless to Chu Wanxin, so he just sat quietly in his seat and watched the show.
