Chapter 486: The Extraordinarily Bustling Black Market

"You said... you met a wanted criminal?"

After returning from the mission world, Ailontan reported the situation to Luo Jun immediately.

"He is not just an ordinary wanted criminal." Alontan said, "His name is Blood Tribulus. I heard from others that he is one of the top criminals on the list."

"Blood caltrops..." To be honest, Luo Jun had never paid much attention to the so-called wanted list. Since he was a wanted criminal, he naturally hoped that non-official personnel could provide information or even arrest him, which often attracted bounty hunters.

This is easy to understand. When the police issue a wanted warrant, they also need residents to provide clues. If the police find the wanted criminal, arresting him is their job. Of course, it is inevitable that they will be credited internally.

The Yuan Xiu Association was the same. The bounty list was clearly marked with prices, and the bounties of hundreds of millions were all real money. There was also a system internally, which naturally used various levels of merit as incentives.

Luo Jun himself didn't want to be a bounty hunter, so naturally he had no interest in the wanted criminals rankings. He just remembered that there was a real-time updated post in the forum that recorded the situation, and the arrest of a wanted criminal would always be a sensational news... But he had never paid attention to the specific rankings or what they were called.

Taking the reminder of the incident of Elontan, he opened the forum, looked through it and nodded: "Blood Tribulus, seventh on the list... The current bounty is 22 million, or four Class A merits... It is indeed a difficult guy."

"So in the end, you killed him?" Although Alontan hadn't said it yet, Luo Jun could judge from his relaxed tone that he should not have suffered any loss.

"It's not that easy to kill him. I just used a little mechanism to kick him into the elimination process." Alontan's tone was full of pride: "But I didn't expect such a guy to appear at first, so I reported my master's identity before he took action. This guy must not be dead. I'm afraid he will cause trouble for you in reality."

"I'm not afraid of trouble... I just can't understand why this guy is hunting practitioners during the mission?" Luo Jun touched his chin.

"I think he is practicing some secret technique..." Ailontan explained, "I saw that every time he killed someone, he would use a small bottle to collect their blood. That should be a special treasure."

"So this must not be his first time committing a crime." Luo Jun frowned: "Are you still in the Chaos Zone?"

"Still there." Elontan nodded: "I reported it to you immediately."

"Go find the teacher right away and report this to the Yuan Xiu Association!" Luo Jun urged, "Don't give him the opportunity to harm more people!"

"Report it?" Elontan paused and said, "If the Yuan Xiu Society asks for details, how should I answer?"

"How should I answer? Tell the truth!"

"But Master, after I dealt with him, I also completed this Grade B mission. If I report this truthfully, it will be hard to explain how a Pei Yuan Realm person like you could escape from a wanted criminal and even kill him..." Elontan said tentatively, "How about we conceal it for now? After all, there is only one Chaos mission a month, so at least he shouldn't cause any trouble this month."

Luo Jun shook his head: "If we really wait until next month, he will go on another mission and I'm afraid there will be more than a dozen lives lost. If the Yuan Xiu Society wants to catch her, they also need to prepare for the investigation in advance. It's impossible for them to be arrested immediately after we report the case."

"It's okay, just report normally. This is a good opportunity to show off your strength... It's a little fast to reach a state of mind in half a year, but there have been geniuses like this before!"

"Even those geniuses can't be compared with you, Master." Elontan's flattery immediately followed up: "Then I will report truthfully, but in this way, Master will be labeled as an elementalist in the future. If you can't use the relevant abilities in the future, I'm afraid..."

"It's OK..." Luo Jun felt the surging inner breath: "I hide my identity because I have a secret that I'm afraid others will know. An ordinary man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure... But if the one who possesses the treasure is not an ordinary man, but a prince or even the emperor, then what crime is there?"

"Since the master has considered it, I won't say much."

After finishing the conversation with Elontan, Luo Jun sat in the room, feeling the surging power in his body.

According to the current progress of cultivation, it will take at most two months... no, with the help of Dingyuan Pearl, it will probably only take one and a half months... Before March, he will definitely be able to break through to the ninth level of Peiyuan Realm, and before April, he will definitely be able to cultivate the ninth level to the extreme!
By then, it will become clear whether he has the talent to concentrate his mind!

If it is true as my master and I had guessed before, the techniques that everyone is practicing now are all wrong, and the original method of cultivation for the gods is to follow the steps, consolidate the foundation, cultivate the essence, and concentrate the mind, and once you reach the top level, breaking through to the next level will be a natural process. Then after I have cultivated the Pei Yuan realm to the extreme, I should be able to naturally touch the threshold of the Condensation mind realm.

With the dual blessing of the Heavenly Secret Dice and the Divine Spiritual Technique, Luo Jun's Yuan Pei has not yet reached its peak, but he is already far better than ordinary top masters. If he really advances to the Condensation of Mind at the last moment, according to the difference in strength between the Yuan Pei and Condensation of Mind of ordinary people, Luo Jun is confident that his vision at that time will definitely be comparable to that of Yuhua!
As one of the few people in the world with strategic deterrent weapons comparable to physical nuclear weapons, at that time, it didn't matter what secrets he was hiding.

But if not, if I really stop here to cultivate my essence, I will still be one of the top masters in the main world, but I will definitely not reach the realm where I can be unreasonable...

I feel a little nervous...

Luo Jun rubbed his face vigorously.

There is no use thinking so much, the real thing is to seize the time to practice!

The black market will be open in a few days. Take the opportunity to get some useful treasures to enhance your strength!
After encouraging himself, Luo Jun sat on the bed, holding the Dingyuan Pearl and began to circulate his internal energy again, preparing for the uncertain challenges in the future.

…………

January 15th, 7pm, in front of Yuanqiang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.

Just like last time, the company got off work early, and there were only a few security guards on duty in the empty company compound. They checked the identities of the "guests" who came from time to time, and then took them into a different world that ordinary people could not see.

Luo Jun, wearing an assassin's cloak, came to the door, his hood covering his masked face. He lowered his head and said the code he had just heard:
"I have willow-shaped eyebrows and a cherry-like mouth. Everyone who sees me is happy to look at me..."

The security guard nodded and opened the door to let him in.

"What kind of code is this..." Luo Jun breathed a sigh of relief after successfully entering the black market. "Last time it was at least an ancient poem, how come it turned into a skit line this time? Can't you take it seriously?"

While complaining, Luo Jun's eyes were already attracted by the bustling market in front of him. "There are a lot more stalls today than last time. Is it because of the treasure appraisal conference?"

That's right, according to the information obtained from Ling Xin, the black market this time was a little different from usual, and President Zheng convened a treasure appraisal conference.

The so-called treasure appraisal conference is an activity held irregularly in the Ningdong black market. It is called treasure appraisal, but it does not check whether the treasure is real or fake. After all, the description of the treasure cannot be false. As long as the Yuan Qi is used to sweep it, anyone can see the specific effect.

This treasure appraisal is more like tasting than identification. Take out the precious and eye-catching treasures that appear on the black market and let everyone appreciate them together. If you want them, you can also bid for them. The highest bidder wins!

To put it bluntly, it is a disguised auction.

However, unlike ordinary auctions, the circulation of treasures in the black market is generally based on barter, and cash is rarely used. There is no unified equivalent. During the auction, you can't use your own treasure to bid. Luo Jun was a little curious about this rule and wanted to join in the fun.

Looking at the time, it was just past seven o'clock. The treasure appraisal conference should be held on time at midnight. It was still early, so Luo Jun started to wander around these ordinary stalls.

Not far away, Alontan, wearing a mask and disguised as Luo Jun, was also shopping with Ling Xin.

"Master, I saw an interesting treasure, but the stall owner's price is a bit high. You can come and have a look when it's convenient for you..." As he was walking around, Alontan reported to Luo Jun the information of each stall he saw. This made him look like he was asking questions and touching things, but in fact, he was busy for a long time and didn't buy anything.

Ling Xin, who was standing by, had gotten some rare supplies. Looking at Alontan busying around, she shook her head, came up to him and suddenly asked.

"I heard that you encountered a wanted criminal during your mission two days ago?"

This question made Ailontan stunned. He pretended to be surprised and asked: "How did you know? The teacher said that this situation should be kept secret for the time being. I didn't tell anyone..."

Ling Xin shook her head: "I didn't tell anyone because I was afraid of causing panic. After all, he is a wanted criminal who specializes in hunting down B-level players. Many of our classmates are at this level."

"But I'm different. In my eyes, he is the prey!"

Ailontan was slightly startled, then gave her a thumbs up and praised: "As expected of the Golden Blade Witch, your courage is different!"

"So you want to know the details of what happened? So that you can catch this wanted criminal?" Alontan smiled and said, "No problem, I'll tell you from the beginning..."

"No need..." Ling Xin stretched out her hand to interrupt him: "I have already heard the specific details from the school. What I am really interested in is your realm."

Ling Xin looked into Ailontan's eyes and asked, "When did you reach the state of Condensed Mind?"

What is coming will still come...

Ailontan sighed secretly, and communicated urgently with Luo Jun in his heart: "Master, Ling Xin asked..."

Luo Jun was selecting goods in front of a stall. When he heard Ailontan's call for help, he said calmly, "Just tell him that you achieved a breakthrough not long after returning from the martial arts world."

"The Soul Gathering Gu helped me win several levels in a row, satisfying the prerequisite for cultivating the Condensed Mind Realm. I tried it once and it worked."

"This... this is a bit too hasty." Alontan felt that this answer was not credible.

"Others may not reply, but Ling Xin should be fine." Luo Jun picked up a bunch of keys: "How much is this? Three rare ones? Too expensive... You thought it was epic!"

"Why is Ling Xin okay?" Ailontan asked puzzled.

"Because she is a genius, and she is one of the best!" Luo Jun showed two rare treasures: "How about exchanging these two for one? If you don't sell it, I'll leave."

"Master, are you talking about mutual understanding between geniuses?"

"That's about right... Anyway, just tell her this." Luo Jun smiled and put the key into the treasure box: "Hey, don't be so sad, you've made a profit. I tell you, this is a good price for a non-combat treasure."

Looking at Ling Xin, Ailontan could only answer according to what Luo Jun said. Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Ling Xin just looked into Ailontan's eyes, then smiled and shook her head: "It is indeed like this..."

She really had no doubts? Ailontan was a little surprised, and reported to Luo Jun in his mind.

"Master, how do you know that such a perfunctory reason can be used to fool people?"

"The truth is often rather perfunctory..." Luo Jun replied with a smile: "As a genius, he often achieved success in a muddled way."

"In my high school class, the one who always ranked first in exams was not the little boy with glasses who studied the hardest and did the most homework, but the guy who ran to the basketball court after class."

"Top talents are so willful. Most people can't solve a problem even if they work day and night, but he may get a flash of inspiration just by yawning..."

"Studying is like this, not to mention the state of mind that relies heavily on inspiration." Luo Jun laughed and said, "I guess Ling Xin herself must have made a breakthrough in this way."

After hearing what Luo Jun said, Ailontan looked at Ling Xin: "As you said, are you the same?"

Ling Xin nodded: "Not only me, my brother is the same."

What a monster this family is... Although Ailontan is an emperor, he was once a cultivator. He was able to inherit the throne because of his bloodline. In terms of cultivation talent, it can be considered good, but it is far from the top.

"Congratulations on reaching the Condensed Mind Realm." Ling Xin smiled and said, "Only when you reach this stage can you be considered a true practitioner. I have to admit that you have made progress faster than I thought."

"It was mainly the coincidence in Yaowang Valley that gave me a push." ​​Ailontan was humble.

"Not counting that incident, with your progress, it won't be difficult to achieve the state of Condensation within a year. This is rare even among top masters." Ling Xin looked at Luo Jun and changed the subject:
"It's good to have talent, but I still want to remind you. Don't just seek quick success. The ability of Concentration has been unlocked, so the next practice will be a long process. Don't rush to improve the strength of your ability. You'd better lay a solid foundation now. At least you have to upgrade Solidification to double level five. Then you can continue to practice Concentration, and it will be twice the result with half the effort."

"Double level five?" Elontan curled his lips: "Easier said than done..."

"It does require a bit of luck." Ling Xin nodded and said, "But I think you should be able to do it with your talent. If you don't lay a solid foundation, your future cultivation will be very painful. This is what I say from experience. You started late and don't have the capital to make mistakes. Don't take a detour."

After hearing this, Ailontan nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you for your guidance. With the guidance of the world's top genius cultivator, I will definitely become a master!"

"Top?" Ling Xin was slightly stunned, then sighed: "I'm far from being top..."

"Don't be so modest." Ailontan said with a smile, "I have heard from more than one person that the Golden Blade Witch, a member of the Ling family, became a first-class master in her teens. If you are not considered a genius, who else is?"

"There are differences among so-called geniuses." Ling Xin shook her head: "There are many people with talents far superior to mine. I only knew of one before, but now... there should be two!"
