Mortal Ascension Record

Chapter 1939: Border Market, Special Market

It was late at night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.

In the border area of ​​the Burning Sky Territory, there was a group of volcanoes that were rolling and undulating. It was no less than a thousand miles wide, but there was no grass growing inside, and there was an astonishing heat wave that continued to rage. Everywhere you looked was a desolate scene.

In such a place, let alone any spiritual medicines and spiritual materials, even ordinary monsters would probably not want to set foot. Only some fire-attributed beasts were entrenched here, relying on the abundant fire energy to practice.

In addition, there were flocks of low-level fire crows breeding here, and the noisy calls that came one after another also added a bit of noise to this quiet place.

But this originally ordinary night was broken by the sound of wind coming from the horizon, and two monks, a man and a woman, approached together. They were the dusty Qin Tian and his companion.

The reason why we came here is that according to the map, there is a small market hidden in these seemingly barren mountains, which is enough for the monks to buy and sell materials and exchange what they have.

However, due to its location on the border, this area is not peaceful. Things like highway robbery and murder often happen. In addition, the poor supervision of Danding Mountain, which controls the Burning Heaven Domain, also makes the border markets mostly mixed, full of all kinds of people, and all kinds of black goods of unknown origin.

So in a sense, this market is almost the same as the "underground black market"!

And this just happens to be in line with Qin Tian's mind.

After all, the two had just escaped from the Great Wilderness. In order to prevent being tracked by the Shinto Sect, they tried to keep a low profile. However, they were short of money when they first arrived in the Spirit World, and they urgently needed to sell the black goods and phantom crystals they had accumulated in exchange for resources to maintain their cultivation. By the way, they also wanted to see the prosperity of the Spirit World.

In this case, the underground black market is undoubtedly a good choice. As long as you are careful, you can minimize the risk.

And both of them are powerful people who have risen from the lower world. They are not unfamiliar with this mixed place, and their experience is also very experienced.

Just approaching the volcanic group, Qin Tian has taken out a black hat and put it on his head to cover his face.

This thing was temporarily refined, and the grade is not high. It is only at the level of a spiritual treasure. However, if it is used together with the prohibition, it can also isolate the ordinary cultivators from the detection of the consciousness. In addition, the effect of the hidden source formula to cover the breath is enough to deal with the special situation at hand.

After all, in the black market, it is most taboo to use the power of consciousness to detect randomly, otherwise it will be regarded as a provocation if you are not careful, and even cause an unprovoked fight. This is the basic common sense of the cultivation world. Anyone who has been to the black market will understand it.

So under normal circumstances, no cultivator will break the rules at will.

But in fact, this method is only used to cover up the eyes and ears of others, in order to better hide the Wuxiang Divine Art, so that Avril will not notice the clues.

For example, the face under the bamboo hat at this moment has been adjusted by Qin Tian. With such double protection, this trip can naturally be guaranteed to be foolproof.

And Avril on the side is not idle either.

Because of the previous series of frivolous things, the elf queen has already suffered a great psychological shadow, so her current style of doing things has become much more cautious.

So she, who knows her own charm, deliberately found a remote corner, changed into a set of wide black robes, and covered her face with a black veil, covering her exquisite and beautiful face tightly, no longer as radiant as before.

Although the twinkling blue eyes and the golden hair like a waterfall still reveal a strong alien atmosphere, it is much better than before.

As the two of them restrained their breath and moved forward, they soon came to the depths of the volcano group, a seemingly desolate and remote canyon with dark red everywhere.

After arriving, Qin Tian first sent out his spiritual sense to scan carefully, and soon found out the clues. He saw that the hard stone wall on the left side of the canyon looked normal on the surface, but in fact, there was a faint breath fluctuation, which obviously contained some kind of isolation barrier.

With this in mind, Avril couldn't help but think deeply, and even had a sense of disdain in her heart, and even her bright red lips were slightly curved.

I don't know why, perhaps because of the repeated humiliation, she subconsciously wanted to see Qin Tian make a fool of himself, and she had been looking forward to it for a long time. Now that she finally had the opportunity, she naturally couldn't miss it.

So looking at Qin Tian's calm face, the elf queen was already full of gloating in her heart.

"Hmph! Pretend, let's see how long you can pretend, you alchemist? Bah! When we get to Burning Heaven Holy City, let's see how you can pretend!"

..............

Just at this moment, another light flew low from a distance, wrapped in a cultivator in a black robe and a bamboo hat, that dress is exactly the same as Qin Tian, ​​even his cultivation is just at the peak of the initial stage of the Spiritualization.

Obviously, this kind of dress is very common in the underground black market.

And because Qin Tian and the other person only restrained their breath, but did not hide their tracks, the other party soon noticed their presence.

The man first cast a vigilant look, and then rushed towards the mountain wall without hesitation, and disappeared into it in the blink of an eye, only a few ripples appeared on the surface of the mountain wall, but soon returned to normal.

Seeing this scene, Qin Tian and the other two were relieved. They thought that their previous guess was correct. This place was indeed the entrance to the black market. Therefore, the two did not hesitate and walked towards the mountain wall openly. Soon, they were immersed in it.

In an instant, the surrounding environment changed dramatically.

When the two of them regained their sight, they were already in a noisy environment. What they saw was a spacious underground space. At a glance, it was no less than several thousand feet wide. There were surging people in it, and many monks sat on the ground and set up stalls. It looked very lively.

And around the underground space, there were many rugged tunnels crisscrossing and extending towards the inside, forming simple and complex streets.

Even on both sides of the dim tunnel, many stone chambers were carved out along the wall. There were all kinds of goods in them. Obviously, they were merchants stationed here. Xiao Si and the shopping guide shouted and hawked, and the scene was also very noisy.

However, this strange underground market is indeed rare and eye-opening.

Because of the large number of night-light pearls inlaid on the top, the underground space is as bright as day, and the treasures displayed on the stalls are clearly visible, but the cultivators gathered here have one thing in common, that is, they all cover their faces, or wear hats, or black veils, in short, they are all people who hide their heads and show their tails.

From this, it can be seen that the so-called black market is not a false name.

And the cultivation of these people is also varied. The slightly lower ones, such as the hawker Xiao Si, are just the Golden Core Foundation Establishment. As for the Nascent Soul cultivators, they are almost everywhere on the street. Even the God Transformation Ancestor who is the king of the lower world is just common here.

For example, nearly half of the cultivators who set up stalls on the roadside are at the God Transformation stage, and they are not at all arrogant.

There were even a few cultivators among them. Although they did not deliberately reveal their aura, judging from the vague pressure, they were at least masters of the initial stage of refining emptiness!

Such a scene would be unimaginable in the lower world.

But in this spiritual world full of powerful people, it is normal.

Seeing this spectacular scene, even Qin Tian and the other two who had just arrived here were slightly shocked.

Fortunately, with their attire and cultivation, they did not have to worry about attracting attention, and they were able to perfectly blend into this underground black market.

However, not long after entering this place, Qin Tian keenly noticed that there was a hidden and powerful spiritual power that quietly passed by nearby, and stayed on the two of them for a moment, but soon disappeared without a trace.

Avril, who was standing by, also noticed the abnormality and could not help but tremble slightly, but did not show too much abnormality.

Faced with such a situation, the two could not help but look at each other, and both saw the vigilance in each other's eyes.

Obviously, this underground black market is not without order. On the contrary, there are masters hiding in secret. The divine sense just now is the best proof!

But the other party is very sensible and did not force the investigation. This move is mostly a warning. It must be a necessary step for every new monk.

After realizing this, the two of them were relieved.

In order to facilitate the work, Qin Tian pondered for a moment, and then secretly communicated to discuss and act separately. The two agreed to meet at the exit, and then each chose a direction to start strolling.

After all, monks have their own secrets, and it will be inconvenient if they go together, so Avril readily agreed.

................

Speaking of Qin Tian on the other side, he naturally had to observe when he first arrived in a foreign place, not only to understand the local prices, but also to take the opportunity to increase his own knowledge.

Therefore, he, who has always been shrewd, did not rush to sell the treasures, nor did he go to the stall area to be a sucker. Instead, he randomly chose a cave street and began to wander around aimlessly. Occasionally, he would stop and observe. Soon, he gained a lot.

According to the market conditions he inquired about, the prices of the unique spiritual materials, phantom crystals and phantom furs from the Phantom Forest, in this black market are quite fair, much higher than the prices in the Great Wilderness.

In addition, due to the existence of the alchemy holy land "Yuding Mountain", the alchemy of the Burning Heaven Realm is popular, and the most abundant thing is various alchemists, so the prices of various common elixirs are more affordable than other areas.

But as the saying goes, things are expensive because they are rare.

For example, the price of high-level elixirs above the fifth level in the Burning Heaven Realm is not much different from that in other areas.

The reason for this is that in addition to the limited age of the spiritual medicine and the difficulty of refining, there is another most important factor, that is, even in Yuding Mountain, which is known as the holy land of alchemy, the number of high-level alchemists above the fifth level is extremely limited, and the number becomes rarer as time goes by.

Just like the legendary seventh-level alchemist, who is almost invisible. This level of great power is not only respected and noble, but it is also extremely difficult for ordinary people to meet him, let alone make pills and ask for medicine.

This has also caused a strange phenomenon, that is, in the Burning Heaven Domain, it is easy to buy pills below the fifth level. There are direct shops opened by Yuding Mountain in major markets for sale. They are almost at the level of regular materials. As long as there are enough Yuanshi, they can even be purchased in large quantities.

Even the expensive sixth-level pills are occasionally circulated in the market, and they often appear in major auction houses.

After all, these low- and medium-level elixirs are originally used by the alchemists of Yuding Mountain to make their own pills, so naturally there are as many as you want.

But the situation is completely different for the seventh-level pills.

This level of elixir, because the required spiritual medicine is extremely difficult to find, and the difficulty of refining is too great, the failure rate can only be described as horrible, so its value can no longer be simply measured by Yuanshi, it is completely like a strategic material.

Therefore, this kind of high-level elixir is also strictly controlled by Yuding Mountain. Most of them are used to supply their own ancestors for cultivation, or to exchange interests with other forces. They are almost only circulated among the high-level of the spiritual world, and rarely appear on the market. Even if they occasionally appear in the world, they will be immediately snatched up by all kinds of strong people.

And even if a cultivator has enough spiritual medicine for the elixir, he will give priority to Yuding Mountain for refining, and will not easily let others do it, so as not to waste precious spiritual materials.

After all, not every force has a seventh-level alchemist sitting in the seat. Except for the eight top forces that dominate one side, which can barely be self-sufficient, all other forces and clans almost have to seek cooperation from Yuding Mountain.

And this is the terrible thing about the holy land of alchemy!

With the lifeblood of resources in its hands, Yuding Mountain's status in the spirit world is extremely transcendent. Not only do other top forces dare not offend it easily, but even the four holy places have to treat it with courtesy!

And this situation has also made the entire Burning Heaven Domain extremely prosperous. The sales of elixirs in major markets are extremely hot. There are often representatives of some forces who come from afar to purchase elixirs and bring unique spiritual materials from all over the spirit world.

Thanks to this, the Burning Heaven Domain has become a commercial center, and the resources gathered are second to none in the spirit world!

For example, the reason why Qin Tian chose to develop here, in addition to taking advantage of the mysterious pendant's anti-sky effect, naturally also took into account the unique geographical advantages.

But it is worth mentioning that in addition to elixirs, the prices of other things such as talismans, array plates and flags, spiritual treasures and various metal minerals in the Burning Heaven Domain are much higher than those in other regions. This may be the only disadvantage.

However, Qin Tian had expected this and had no worries at all. After all, with the mysterious pendant in hand, he was confident that he would not have to worry about the Yuanshi later, so a little premium would not be a big deal.

While thinking in his heart, his steps did not stop for a moment, and soon he came to the dim corner of the street, in front of a carefully selected shop.
