Chapter 199: King of Freeloaders! What on earth have you been through?
……

"Qianqian, are you okay?"

Chen Jingyun noticed something was wrong with his wife and immediately asked with concern.

"No, it's okay." Wang Qianqian quickly calmed down and stopped looking after her brother Zu.

There was no way. This was not a suitable occasion for recognizing relatives, and she was also carrying out a family mission, so she couldn't allow any unnecessary trouble.

Not to mention, the current scene... ahem ~ it's really too embarrassing, Brother Shouzu is so pretentious, she almost taps her toes just thinking about it.

Of course, there is another reason besides this.

She and her brother Shouzu both have the right to inherit the Wang family's Golden Elixir Dharma, so they are in competition with each other. Taking this opportunity, she also wants to secretly observe her brother Shouzu's attainments in the art of puppetry.

However, it seems that he probably did not go for the realistic direction, but chose a pure combat puppet.

She secretly winked at her side, and Chen Xuanmo, who was in the heroic spirit state and had been cooperating with his great-grandson's wife for a long time, understood it immediately and put a purple mark on the mature and charming woman and Wang Shouzu.

Wang Qianqian continued to focus on the current task, and once again shouted and sold the Blood Demon Blades that were used as bait, attracting one evil cultivator after another who coveted the top-grade Blood Demon Blades.

On the other side of the White Jade Square, the Blood Dragon, the Blood Soul Master who had also suppressed his cultivation to the Foundation Establishment Stage and wrapped his entire body in a hooded cloak, passed by with his men.

Noticing the things on Wang Qianqian's stall, Xue Jiao paused for a moment and looked at the other hooded man beside him with a friendly expression: "Xue Shiba, there are top-grade Blood Demon Blades and top-grade Small Blood Demon Flags for sale over there. Do you want me to buy them and give them to you as rewards?"

In recent days, Xue Jiao has become more and more satisfied with his subordinate. Not only is he as loyal as ever, but his brain has become smarter and his suggestions always hit the nail on the head.

He felt that it was necessary to cultivate this subordinate well. If he could successfully reach the Golden Core stage, he could become Yu'er's right-hand man in the future.

Xue Jiao was not surprised to see Blood Soul Sect exclusive equipment such as the Blood Demon Blade appear on the black market.

It is possible that after a monk from a certain sect wiped out a certain group of Blood Soul Envoys, he did not destroy the weapons, but instead kept them privately and sold them on the black market.

And the Xue Shiba beside him was naturally an impersonation of Su Yuanbai.

Hearing this, he replied in a voice transmission with great fear and trepidation: "Master Xue Jiao, you have taken great care of me. If you had not provided me with a large amount of blood evil power this time, how could I have recovered so quickly?"

"The most important thing for us right now is to hide ourselves. It would be best if we could find Youyue's men in advance, so as not to ruin your great cause. As long as we accomplish this great cause, what does a mere top-grade Blood Demon Blade matter?"

"Good good."

The Blood Dragon admires Blood Eighteen even more.

Why didn’t I realize before that Xue Shiba was so sensible and always thought of me?

However, the Blood Dragon did not forget. When passing by Wang Qianqian, he relied on his high level of cultivation to secretly mark her with spiritual power, planning to find this mysterious woman later, rob her of everything, and force her to tell him the source of these blood-killing equipment.

Killing and stealing treasures is not allowed in the black market, but once you leave the black market, no one can do anything about it.

In fact, the blood dragon was not the first to do this.

Chen Xuanmo had already counted them. There were four spiritual power marks on Wang Qianqian's body. Each of them was a Jindan-level cultivator. One of them was Xueyuan and the other was Xuejiao. They all had Chen Xuanmo's purple energy mark on their bodies and he had recognized them long ago.

Although Chen Xuanmo did not know the other two Jindan cultivators, he thought that they were probably not good people, so he also gave them a purple mark.

As for those evil foundation-building cultivators, although they also coveted the treasure, they did not dare to act rashly. Their cultivation was not absolutely superior to Wang Qianqian's, and if they secretly marked her with spiritual power, the probability of being discovered would be very high.

Before I knew it, two days had passed.

Wang Qianqian finally sold all the sundries, and in the process, Chen Xuanmo made a total of more than fifty purple marks. He processed each purple mark in detail and divided them into different categories to distinguish different people.

At this time, Chen Xuanmo only needed to sense a little bit to sense the dense purple air marks in this black market.

At the same time, Chen Xuanmo also took advantage of the past two days to check the layout of the entire black market with the help of the Heroic Spirit, memorizing it so that he could use it when the time comes.

During these two days, Chen Xuanmo was very busy, and the others were not idle either.

People in the black market also discovered the undercurrents in the Immortal House.

Leaning on the railing of the Star-Picking Tower.

After reporting what he had noticed, the black market's chief steward Meng asked with some concern, "Manager Tie, with so many people from the Blood Soul Sect sneaking in when our Immortal Square opens, will there be any trouble?"

The Iron Shopkeeper, who was wearing a white mask with silver patterns, remained calm and composed: "Although there are many crazy people in the Blood Soul Sect, no matter how crazy they are, the Blood Soul Sect will not rashly attack us."

"Not to mention that our Immortal House has many powerful backers. The Blood Soul Sect is everywhere offering blood sacrifices to make enemies. If the situation gets unfavorable, they will have to rely on us to turn around their supplies. If they offend our Immortal House, they will undoubtedly be left with no way out."

"Besides, I am personally here to take charge. Even if a blind guardian from the Blood Soul Sect comes to cause trouble, they will definitely not get any benefits."

"It's a good thing that our Xianfang is open for business this time. The more customers come, the more the items will fetch a higher price. The Blood Soul Cult members are willing to kill entire clans, so the wealth they have accumulated should not be underestimated."

"The shopkeeper is wise." Manager Meng complimented, "In that case, I will make arrangements right away to start the auction as scheduled."

After saying that, he retreated.

Chen Xuanmo saw and heard this scene from beginning to end.

He had been wandering around during this period, and in addition to exploring the layout of the black market, he naturally also got a general idea of ​​the situation of several black market leaders. He also knew that the Zhaixing Tower was a place often visited by the black market's Tie Zhanggui.

He came here originally to observe the style of the black market leader and then decide whether to adjust the subsequent plans and control the intensity of the methods.

After all, the black market was implicated this time. What if the black market owner turned out to be a good businessman with a conscience?
Undoubtedly, Chen Xuanmo was overthinking.

The outside world calls this fairyland filled with fairy spirit the "black market", and it is not wrong at all.

In Chen Xuanmo's opinion, it is human nature for merchants to want to gain more profits, but for merchants like the black market who have no bottom line and principles, Chen Xuanmo can only sneer.

They are like the sewers in the city, a breeding ground for blacklisters and cults, and one of the root causes of unrest in the immortal cultivation society.

You must know that the Blood Soul Cult is an anti-human organization with countless bloodshed under its belt. If you provide them with resources or even other channels in their time of crisis, aren't you aiding and abetting them?

The fact that the Blood Soul Cult can wreak havoc in various countries and always revive may be due to the black market.

Most of the materials that were auctioned were obtained through various shady channels. Otherwise, why not auction them at the Tianyuan Dynasty's regular auctions? That way, the market would be bigger and it would be easier to get a high price.

After he saw the true composition of this black market, Chen Xuanmo had a plan in mind.

Next, just wait for the auction to begin.

soon.

The auction was held as scheduled, and the venue was set up in the huge main building in the center of Xianfang.

The main hall inside the main building is a huge hall.

There was an auction table in the inner part of the hall, and in front of the table were seats for the guests.

These seats are specially arranged and grouped, with each group of seats centered around a small round table, around which three or four people can sit. There is a certain distance between different small round tables to avoid mutual interference.

Around the auction table and at each entrance to the hall, there are black market guards in armor standing guard, always paying attention to the situation inside.

As the auction was about to begin, guests came in one after another, and the hall gradually became lively.

On the tall auction platform.

The auction host, Manager Meng, was filled with emotion as he looked at the hundreds of guests around him.

This was the most crowded market opening in the Great Wu Kingdom since he started working at Xianfang No. 3. He perked up, made a gesture, and said loudly: "Dear guests, our Xianfang auction is officially open. According to the rules of previous sessions, this market will first let the guests take a look at the items."

He finished speaking.

Two teams of twenty Foundation Establishment cultivators guarded a storage box and slowly flew onto the auction platform.

The storage box was of a simple shape and looked no different from an ordinary storage box in size, but it was full of secrets and could hold many times more than a storage bag.

In certain specific circumstances, it can even be used as a strategic treasure for transporting supplies.

Manager Meng stepped forward and opened the storage box. He took out a water-based spiritual sword with a smile on his face and introduced it in a loud voice: "Everyone, this spiritual sword is called the [Shui Miao Spiritual Sword]. It is a top-grade spiritual sword. The starting price is 20,000 spiritual stones."

Although it is a spiritual weapon, a top-grade spiritual sword is extremely rare and precious, and its value is often no less than that of an ordinary low-grade magic weapon.

Of course, if a low-grade magic weapon awakens its spirit, the price will be another price.

In the world of cultivating immortals, even among the upper Jindan clans, top-grade spirit swords would often only be allocated to clan leaders in the foundation-building stage, or to Jindan seeds in the foundation-building stage with three spiritual roots. This not only improved their combat effectiveness and increased their safety, but was also a necessary display of face.

In the territory of the Great Wu Kingdom, top-grade spiritual swords are hard to come by and can only be purchased occasionally at auctions in the Jinwufang City.

However, compared to the regular auctions in Jinwufang City, the level of the black market auctions is naturally higher.

This top-grade Shui Miao Ling Sword is just an ordinary auction item. Although many people are tempted by it, they are not amazed by it.

"Manager Meng, there seems to be a mid-grade magic weapon of the wood element in the list of auction items you provided. Can you show it to us?" An old man with a deep voice said loudly, his eyes full of hope.

"Okay, okay." Manager Meng accepted the advice and put the Shui Miao sword back into the storage box, then reached in and took something out again.

The next moment, a small dark green shield appeared in his hand.

This shield is a round shield, made of a material that looks like gold but is not gold, and like wood but is not wood. The surface is carved with ancient patterns similar to vines. The whole shield exudes a comfortable and vibrant atmosphere, which reminds people of spring when all things come to life.

"This treasure is called the [Cangqing Treasure Shield], and its main material comes from the most precious heart of a seventh-level spiritual plant that has grown for more than ten thousand years." Manager Meng introduced the small shield in his hand. "If an early Jindan cultivator has it, it can withstand the bombardment of a middle-stage cultivator in a short period of time. Moreover, it can continuously help the owner recover mana and heal injuries!"

As soon as these words were spoken, many people's eyes suddenly became hot.

Doesn't this mean that once a cultivator in the early Jindan stage possesses it, he will be almost invincible when fighting against cultivators of the same level?

Of course, the premise is that the other party does not have an equally powerful mid-grade magic weapon, but I have what others do not have, which is an absolute advantage.

"As disclosed in the auction information you have received, the starting price of this [Cangqing Treasure Shield] is 150,000 Spiritual Stones."

The voice of Manager Meng sounded again.

Hearing this, the representatives of the Jindan upper clans whose family's orthodox teachings were inherited as the wood and fire elements suddenly perked up.

For this auction, they specially raised a lot of spirit stones, all of which were used to compete for the Cang Qing Treasure Shield.

With only a month's notice in advance, they had too little time to prepare, so they were unable to sell off some fixed assets to obtain more spirit stones and have a greater chance of winning this rare mid-grade treasure shield.

At this time.

Sitting on an ordinary chair, Princess Yun Yi glanced around with a half-smile.

She had already guessed which Jindan families would compete for the Cangqing Treasure Shield. After all, two of them had already come to Dawu Royal Manor for mortgage loans.

Although this treasure shield was good, Princess Yun Yi had no intention of bidding for it. It was just a mid-grade treasure shield without an awakened spirit, and was not worth her effort.

However, if the spirit of the weapon is awakened, she will definitely not be polite.

Wu Yongliang, who was beside her, was even more drowsy after listening to it.

He had no interest in any high-grade spiritual weapon or mid-grade treasure shield.

With his status, when he reaches the foundation-building stage, he must at least be equipped with a top-grade spiritual weapon, or a high-grade spiritual weapon with a weapon spirit.

He just felt very bored. He hadn't found his good brother Chen Xiuyang in the past few days. He guessed that he really didn't come.

If his good brother Chen Xiuyang came, he was confident that with his eyesight, he would be able to recognize him even if he turned into ashes.

This made his expectations for this trip to the black market drop to the bottom.

Wu Yongliang had already begun to plan secretly. As soon as the auction was over, he would find a way to create some chaos and take the opportunity to escape and reunite with his good brother.

Another corner of the auction.

The delicate, charming, and graceful female cultivator, who was obviously a wealthy woman, sat right next to Wang Shouzu, with half of her body almost touching him.

She exhaled softly and said, "Ancestor, if you are interested in the blue treasure shield, I will buy it and give it to you. This treasure is just right for a fire cultivator like you."

The tone was as if no one at the scene could compete with her as long as she wanted.

"Thank you for your kindness, Sister Qin." Wang Shouzu was feeling a little depressed.

He wandered around the black market with his puppet for two days, but never waited for Sister Luo Qian to contact him, which made him feel a little uneasy.

That shouldn't be the case. With Sister Luo Qian's cleverness, as long as she was stranded in the Wu Kingdom, she would definitely find a way to break through the Foundation Establishment Stage and make a name for herself. And if she knew that there was an auction of the Puppet Heart on the black market, she would definitely not miss it.

As a weapon refiner who also specializes in puppetry, he knows only too well the appeal of the Puppet Heart to weapon refiners like him.

Given Sister Luo Qian's obsession with puppets, there was no reason for her not to come.

Could it be that she is not in Wu State?
Did you go to other countries?

He was unwilling to believe that Luo Qian could not reach the Foundation Establishment Stage, or that something had happened.

After a pause, Wang Shouzu shook his head and said to the charming woman, "I am only a cultivator in the foundation-building stage now. Both my true essence and spiritual consciousness are far from reaching the level of being able to control magic weapons. Sister Qin, please don't waste spirit stones recklessly."

"Brother A'zu, you really think of me." The charming woman glanced at him and smiled coquettishly, "However, with your talent, it is only a matter of time for you to enter the Golden Core Stage. On the contrary, it will be difficult to find a treasure that suits you if you miss it. This time, you listen to me, and you will not lose out if you take down this Cangqing Treasure Shield."

"But this time we are here for the Puppet Heart, and the starting price of that thing is 300,000 spirit stones!" Wang Shouzu frowned slightly.

"Why are you worrying so much?" The charming woman smiled and whispered, "Don't worry, your sister Qin has prepared enough ammunition this time. The puppet's heart will definitely not escape from our grasp."

"Thank you, Sister Qin." Wang Shouzu said gratefully, "After I inherit the family heritage, I will definitely find a way to return the spirit stones to you with interest. Oh... Sister Qin, why are you pinching me?"

The charming woman rolled her eyes at him fiercely and angrily said in a voice transmission: "You little heartless man, who do you think I am? Do you think I am just coveting the interest on your spirit stones? I, I just simply want to be good to you and watch you become a useful person."

"Sister Qin, I was wrong..." Wang Shouzu apologized hastily, and then said solemnly, "Sister Qin, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down."

Although outsiders could not hear the two of them whispering to each other, their little expressions and interactions never stopped.

This scene naturally fell into the eyes of Wang Qianqian who was not far behind.

She had chosen this seat specifically to sit because she wanted to see what the relationship between Brother Shouzu and that charming woman was, and whether she had misunderstood him.
Now it seems that it was all just a misunderstanding.

My brother Shouzu is very experienced in living off his wife, he has completely taken control of that rich woman.

Wang Qianqian sighed, and her expression became extremely serious.

Brother Shouzu, Brother Shouzu, what on earth have you been through?
How did he change from a serious and old-fashioned big brother to a gigolo?
