Oh, here are the Spirit Stones from the sale of the magic artifact last time…”
“Huh?
That’s a good sale…”
Chen Dengming took over a handful of low-grade Spirit Stones, somewhat surprised, he had expected the recent events with the Yu Family to bring down the price of magic artifacts in the marketplace.
Zhu Xun smirked, “Heh heh, I do have some tricks up my sleeve to sell for a little higher…”
Chen Dengming chuckled and shook his head in his heart, thinking that the only bad thing about you, Old Zhu, is the moment you get a little bit of sunlight, you shine too brightly.
If this batch of magic artifacts was sold by Qiangzi, with his strong business acumen honed through multiple business experiences, it would definitely fetch a higher price.
…
Taking advantage of Zhu Xun’s absence to deal with the pig demon, Chen Dengming checked the time.
...
There were at least two hours left before the Qile Auction House’s Dark Market began that night.
Immediately returning to his room, he prepared a nourishing soup for the mini Array Spirit.
After sending the little sprite for a bath, he began to cultivate in the Golden House style.
After several nourishments, the mini Array Spirit’s spiritual body seemed to become much solid, and its perception range much wider and more sensitive.
It often danced all day without getting tired.
Such vigorous energy made Chen Dengming’s bold nurturing idea even stronger.
He began to look for some suitable ghost cultivation techniques for the mini Array Spirit.
However, this Cultivation World was indeed too complex.
Let alone the rare ghost cultivation techniques, it was difficult to even find a better version of his own technique.
The splendid dance carried on…
More than an hour soon passed.
“Three Elements Gathering Spirit Skill” has improved a bit.
In the panel, the state of the cultivation technique changed.
“Three Elements Gathering Spirit Skill: (9 layers 207/900)”
Looking at the current cultivation progress, even if the ‘Business Couples Lawland’ ‘s ‘Treasure Land’ had stronger resources…
He would need more than a month of living in Absolute Forest City to cultivate to the level of Qi Cultivation Tenfold.
If a month later, the issue of bone age still isn’t solved, Chen Dengming plans to extend his rent in Absolute Forest City and prepare to break through Foundation Establishment on his own.
Putting away the Array Plate, Chen Dengming changed into a new outfit, ready to go to the Dark Market.
This Dark Market trade was considered the most hopeful opportunity to solve his current predicament.
According to the Business League boss, some items that were not easy to sell openly might be let go in the Dark Market.
For example, high-level Daoism techniques for Qi Cultivation, cultivation techniques with more than 50% spirit gathering effectiveness (“Three Elements Gathering Spirit Skill” – 30%), and physical cultivation methods that can rejuvenate bone age, etc…
Chen Dengming was about to take an Absorbing Breath Pearl, thought for a moment, then put the pearl down.
Now he had changed his name and appearance, and his behavior had also changed from before.
He turned into ‘Gao Hu’, a seemingly troublesome Magic Way cultivator.
This style would be maintained regularly.
…
Evening.
At the back door of Qile Auction House, one after another, figures wearing black cloaks, wide bamboo hats, or masks, appeared.
Almost all of these people emitted a faint spiritual might.
As soon as they showed their figures, they were immediately welcomed by the staff members standing at the back door of the auction house.
At this time, Chen Dengming was wearing a fierce ghost mask.
After handing in the invitation given to him by the boss of the Business League, he followed an Innate attendant into the entrance of the Dark Market.
“Immortal Master, please come in and enjoy some spiritual tea for a while.
The Dark Market will officially start in half an hour.”
Under the guidance of the attendant, Chen Dengming entered a hall and immediately, a beautiful woman wearing a butterfly mask brought him delicate melon fruit and spiritual tea.
While Chen Dengming was silently sipping his tea, he observed the surroundings.
The dimly lit cold-tone hall seemed to be influenced by an illusion array.
Cultivators were ushered into the hall and took their seats one after another.
However, one could only see vague and misty figures without clear features.
“This illusion array should just be the simplest eye-blinding formation.
Jiang Qiang could also construct it…”
Chen Dengming observed for a moment, and then closed his eyes leisurely, waiting for the start of the Dark Market transaction conference.
…
Half an hour passed quickly.
With the closing of the hall’s door, the entire hall suddenly became brighter.
An elderly man dressed in a gold thread robe descended from the upper passageway, attracting attention.
Emanating a strong spiritual might, he smiled and bowed to the four directions.
“Welcome, fellow cultivators.
Thank you for attending the Dark Market organized by Qile Auction House.
I, Jin Mufeng, will host this transaction just as I always have.
For those who are new, remember, the highest bidder gets the goods and all deals are carried out immediately.
Once you leave this conference, we take no responsibility whatsoever.
You must remain seated during the transaction and refrain from probing into others’ identities.
Those who violate these rules will be escorted out…”
Chen Dengming opened his eyes, carefully observing the elderly man radiating intense spiritual might in front of him, his gaze slightly fixed.
This elder is actually a cultivator at the tenth level of Qi Cultivation, making him the strongest person below the Foundation Establishment.
With this elder personally hosting the Dark Market, it adds much credibility and safety guarantee to this transaction conference.
This is probably why the Dark Market has become increasingly popular.
Soon, with Jin Mufeng announcing the start of the transaction conference, the lights dimmed again and a cold voice took the initiative to speak.
“This time I’m here not to sell anything, but to buy a Gu Worm called Golden Silkworm Gu.
The worm resembles a cicada.
A single one is not powerful, but they are formidable in numbers.
I once saw a female cultivator in my sect using it.
Does anyone here possess the Golden Silkworm Gu?”
Chen Dengming was taken aback and then looked a bit strange.
Unexpectedly, someone would begin by asking for the Golden Silkworm Gu.
By the looks of it, it seems like a disciple of the Miaoyin Sect who has probably seen Luo Bing use the Golden Silkworm Gu before.
He carefully observed the buyer but couldn’t get a read on him.
The distance between them was too far, and the illusion array node where the seat was located had the effect of shielding spiritual might, so it was impossible to judge this person’s power level.
After a while, no one replied, and the buyer sighed in disappointment and stopped talking.
Chen Dengming was not surprised.
The Eastern Region has only two Gu refining sects, the Ten Thousand Poison Sect and the Thousand Flower Valley, both are quite mysterious.
They may not even have the Golden Silkworm Gu refining method, so how could it be available in the market?
Without saying a word, Chen Dengming started thinking.
Soon, other cultivators also started trading.
After observing for a while, Chen Dengming made his move when a cultivator was selling a high-grade magic artifact.
He symbolically bid for a while, and although he didn’t win in the end, he drew the attention of quite a few cultivators on his position.
Those who can afford high-grade magic artifacts are naturally capable of using them.
If not at the high-end Qi Cultivation level, they should be around the sixth level of Qi Cultivation, regarded as the upper-middle level.
This proves their purchasing power.
After a while, the transaction conference was nearing its end, and yet nobody traded high-level Qi Cultivation Daoism or any decent cultivation techniques.
As for the body cultivation technique that changes the age of the bones, nobody traded it either.
Chen Dengming’s brows rose, feeling a sense of disappointment.
A few days ago, he had brought gifts again to visit the Business League’s shopkeeper, asking for advice about the Dark Market in order to be prepared.
The person had boasted about how incredible this place was.
Now that he’s had a personal experience, it all seemed somewhat empty.
He opened his mouth to ventriloquisms.
“Fellow cultivators present, I wonder who could provide both Gold and Wood high-level Qi Cultivation Daoism?
Related techniques that can reach above 50% of the effect of the Spirit Gathering technique also work, or if anyone has body cultivation bone-forging technique that can make the bones younger, I would be very interested…”
