Longevity starts with learning

"One lower spirit can stay in the market for one day. If you exceed the time limit, you must pay the spirit stone in time. If you violate the time limit, you will be detained for three months!"

When entering the black market, you will hear a familiar sentence.

Chu Mu glanced at the man standing at the entrance of the black market, threw a spirit stone casually, and then held a ring representing the stay time in his hand.

At this moment, he was in the Jade Emperor Black Market closest to the Jade Emperor Valley. Like the Fengming Mountain Black Market, it was also located in the mountain.

However, the cave in front of him seemed to be a natural karst cave.

The lava crystals that looked like ice crystals were hanging on the dome of the cave. Under the effect of light, they bloomed with beautiful brilliance.

Under the dome, the layout was similar to that of the Fengming Mountain Black Market, but perhaps because it was newly built, it was a bit more tidy than the Fengming Mountain Black Market.

Low houses are arranged in a well shape under the dome. Perhaps due to the prosperity of the Jade Emperor Valley, the flow of people in the black market is obviously much more than that of the Fengming Mountain Black Market.

I don’t know why, but the moment I entered the black market, I knew that the black market must be related to the Changsheng Sect.

But I still felt as if I had unloaded a heavy burden, and I seemed to be a little more relaxed.

The black market represents disorder and freedom.

And this disorder and freedom are precisely the most rigorous order in the world of immortal cultivation.

After all, all the immortal cultivators who come to the black market value the concealment and freedom of the black market.

Once this concealment and freedom are destroyed, the credibility of this black market will drop sharply!

In order to maintain the interests of the black market, the behind-the-scenes controllers of the black market will do their best to maintain the order and reliability of the black market.

The most chaotic black market is often the safest place, and this kind of safety is definitely much safer than those open markets.

Personal interests and collective interests are two completely different concepts.

And the Jade Emperor Black Market at the moment represents the interests of a Jindan Zhenren.

Very safe, very comfortable.

Walking and stopping on the street, the mood in the black market this time is obviously different from the last trip to Fengming Mountain Black Market.

Without the urgency of that time, it is naturally quite leisurely to go shopping.

When the mind calms down, it seems that there are many more things to see.

A more real world of cultivation seems to be reflected in front of him.

For example, there are stalls selling the souls of cultivators. The soul of the first level of Qi training is priced at ten lower spirits.

There are also stalls selling slaves. Dozens of men and women kneel on the side of the street. According to the perception of the divine sense, they are all warriors with successful blood and qi. Among them, there are even warriors with divine appearance. The price is not expensive, which can be said to be extremely cheap!

After walking around for a while, Chu Mu stopped at a stall selling newspapers.

He had subscribed to newspapers for a long time, but the newspapers in the stall in front of him seemed quite different from the newspapers he knew.

"What are these newspapers?"

Chu Mu asked.

"I compiled them myself. Some major events that have happened in the Great Chu Cultivation World in the past hundred years are recorded on them."

"The price is not expensive, one lower spirit."

The old man introduced with a smile.

Chu Mu threw out a lower spirit.

"Okay, Taoist friend, take it."

The old man smiled charmingly and handed over a thick newspaper.

After taking the newspaper, Chu Mu threw it into the storage talisman and continued walking along the street.

Chu Mu's purpose was very clear.

One puppet, two body refining, three elixir, and four basic knowledge of cultivation.

These three items are the main purpose of his trip to the black market this time.

Especially the first two items, which are even more necessary.

Chu Mu has made up his mind. If he fails to achieve his goal in the Jade Emperor Black Market, he will go to other black markets. If he fails to achieve his goal, he will not return.

The goal becomes clearer when it is broken down into specific details.

The prerequisite basic knowledge of puppetry is the art of refining weapons, as well as the basic knowledge related to the art of refining weapons.

For body refining, there is already the Barbarian Bull Technique. If possible, he would like to acquire other body refining techniques for comparison and to broaden his knowledge.

Of course, the most important thing is to buy pills that assist in body refining. If possible, it is best to acquire one or several pill recipes that assist in body refining, and then acquire all the raw materials for the pill recipes.

As for pills, by the way, other pill recipes and related basic knowledge of alchemy, such as spiritual medicine, are acquired to increase the foundation of alchemy.

And the final basic knowledge of practice is to increase the breadth of knowledge and foundation.

For example, the basic fire attribute inscriptions related to the fireball spells he practiced, some basic knowledge of formations and prohibitions, some experience notes on Qi training and body training...

The existence of "Spiritual Brilliance" destined that his way of cultivation would be completely different from other immortal cultivators.

He needed to collect a relatively complete knowledge system of the immortal cultivation world, and then use the effect of "Spiritual Brilliance" to establish a deep understanding of the way of cultivation.

Only in this way, with his pseudo-spiritual root qualifications, can he go further and stand more firmly on this path of cultivation.

This is a process of collecting knowledge, understanding knowledge, and applying knowledge.

And the high cost of knowledge undoubtedly destined that this would inevitably be an extremely difficult process.

After a round of wandering in the market, hundreds of spirits were sprinkled.

What he got was a jade slip recording the basic inscriptions of fire attributes, a detailed explanation of the common hundred spiritual mines in the immortal cultivation world, a detailed explanation of the practice of the Fiery Jue, and a spiritual medicine growth period and efficacy analysis.

Knowledge is expensive, and I treasure it even if I have nothing to sell.

While throwing out a lot of spirit stones, I also made a vow of Dao heart along the way.

Finally, after spending several spirit stones and renting a stall, Chu Mu put out the spoils he had harvested this time.

A low-grade magic weapon flying sword and a medium-grade magic weapon curved knife.

The price is not expensive, about 10% lower than the market price.

As for the Yangmai Pill, there is no need to cause trouble for myself at this cusp.

Two magic weapons are enough to harvest hundreds of spirit stones, which can barely make up for the lack of spirit stones.

Perhaps because the price is lower than the market price, the two magic weapons were sold one after another in just over half an hour.

In the next few days, Chu Mu wandered around the Jade Emperor Black Market all day long. When he saw something he liked, he sprinkled spirit stones to put it in his pocket.

The knowledge system in his mind was also improving little by little in the process of sprinkling these spirit stones.

By the eighth day, most of the goals of this trip to the black market had been achieved.

But the only thing he had been thinking about for a long time was the inheritance of the knowledge of refining, which was still nowhere to be seen.

In the storage talisman, more than a thousand low-grade spirit stones were still quietly placed. He wanted to spend them, but he couldn't find a way to spend them.

His luck with the inheritance of the knowledge of refining seemed to have been completely exhausted after his first encounter in Fengming Mountain.

Stopping on the street, Chu Mu glanced at the street behind him, pondered for a moment, and walked towards the alley on the side.

Stopping at the end of the alley again, Chu Mu turned around and looked at the empty alley behind him, waiting silently.

He had a guess that needed to be confirmed.

Not long after, a figure appeared at the entrance of the alley. He looked around and walked into the alley.

Chu Mu's guess was undoubtedly confirmed.

Since entering this black market and spending the first amount of spirit stones, he clearly felt that he was being targeted.

A horse cannot grow fat without night grass, and a man cannot become rich without unexpected wealth.

This is obviously normal.

But it is also obvious that the secret peeps are obviously sneaky, trying their best to hide their greedy thoughts.

It is impossible to follow and spy openly.

But this time, he encountered it.

From the time he sprinkled the first amount of spirit stones, a figure that was almost open and aboveboard has been following him around this market.

Even if he changed his figure in the middle, as long as he started to sprinkle spirit stones, he would be openly stared at again, and the person staring at him was different every time.

And their cultivation level is mostly around the fourth or fifth level of Qi training.

There must be something wrong when things are abnormal.

Chu Mu didn't mind testing it.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Looking at the fifth-level Qi training cultivator walking in front of him, Chu Mu questioned.

"I saw you stay in the market for a few days, but what do you want to buy but can't find a channel?"

"Why, you have a channel?"

Chu Mu raised his eyebrows and said again.

"There will be an underground auction in three days. If you are interested, you can go and see it."

The man handed over a dark gray jade card respectfully.

Chu Mu did not take it, but asked: "So, this is your way of finding customers?"

"Please forgive me, this is just my duty."

"Hehe."

Chu Mu chuckled and took the jade card. He didn't say anything more. The man in front of him also retreated respectfully.

The jade card has no special features. The dark gray jade body is only the size of a palm. Ninety-six is ​​engraved on the front, which seems to be the serial number of the jade card.

On the back is an arrow and a red dot.

Obviously, it is the location of the underground auction.

Chu Mu looked up and looked at the direction. Following the memory of wandering around the black market these days, he also had a rough idea of ​​the location of this so-called underground auction.

Three days passed in a flash.

On the third day, Chu Mu appeared on time at the place indicated by the jade token.

A low house that was exactly the same as other houses in the market.

But from time to time, cultivators could be seen entering the house and disappearing.

Obviously, this house was not as simple as it looked on the surface.

After a moment of hesitation, Chu Mu stepped forward and opened the door. It was arranged in a similar way to ordinary houses, except that there were two men in black standing on one side of the house.

With a slight perception, the fluctuation of the mana of the thirteenth level of Qi training was very clear.

"Please show me the jade token, fellow Taoist."

One of the men reached out.

The man took a look at the jade token after handing it out, and then the two men in black each moved a step to the side.

Behind him, the original wall seemed to have lost its disguise with this step and turned into a wooden door.

"Please."

The man handed over the jade token and raised his hand to signal.

Pushing open the wooden door, there was a passage extending underground.

The tunnel was very long, and it was difficult to see the end with the naked eye. On the walls on both sides of the tunnel, fluorescent stones were inlaid, illuminating the tunnel.

Chu Mu hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he did not hesitate too much and walked down the tunnel.

About two hundred meters away, the end of the tunnel was clearly visible.

Finally, a stone door at the end appeared in front of him.

Without hesitation, he pushed open the stone door, and what came into view was not the expected emptiness, but a deep curved corridor.

Outside the door, a woman in palace clothes seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

"Daoyou, please."

The woman raised her hand to signal.

Under the guidance of the woman, Chu Mu finally stopped in front of another door.

The woman pushed open the door and raised her hand to signal.

This time, it was a room, and...

Looking at the scene in front of him, Chu Mu seemed a little stunned.

The room was not big, only about ten feet long and wide, but the inside of the room was not a stone wall, but a floor-to-ceiling window that occupied the entire wall.

Through the crystal clear colored glaze, there was a round dome that looked like the black market above.

Under the dome, on the entire cave wall, there were circles of floor-to-ceiling windows like his, and they surrounded the ground.

At the bottom of the cave, there was a red round platform, on which several cultivators could be clearly seen busy.

Chu Mu looked at the floor-to-ceiling windows of the surrounding rooms. The crystal clear colored glaze seemed to be engraved with some kind of partition ban. From inside to outside, everything was visible, but from the outside to the inside, it was blurry.

"May I ask, fellow Taoist, is there anything you need to entrust our bank to auction?"

Outside the door, the woman in palace dress asked as if it was a routine matter.

Chu Mu was about to refuse, but then he looked at the room in front of him.

In front of the French window, there was a set of tables and chairs, and there were fruits and wine on the table.

The whole room was obviously laid with some kind of partition prohibition, which could block the peeping of the divine consciousness.

In other words, when he sat in it, other guests didn't know who he was.

The only auction house that knew about it only knew his fake identity.

In the market, out of habitual caution, he changed his appearance many times.

In other words, even the auction house didn't know his real identity.

As for using other means to peek at the truth under the disguise of the phantom god, if there was any, he couldn't fail to notice it.

If he didn't notice it, it meant that the auction house didn't do it.

And judging from the scale of this auction house, the possibility that Zhao Tang mentioned by Wang Mazi, even his father, the foundation-building cultivator, could be affected was obviously not great.

Even if the news leaked later, it would have some impact, but by then, he would have left the black market long ago...

"Can this be auctioned?"

Thinking of this, Chu Mu casually threw out a jade bottle.

Ten pieces of Yangmai Pills with one Danwen, according to the market price, are more than six hundred spirit stones.

And he... has more than forty.

"Danwen... OK, OK."

The palace-dressed woman was obviously surprised, and her eyes looking at Chu Mu seemed to be more respectful.

"Just auction three bottles."

Having made up his mind, Chu Mu did not worry too much and threw out two more bottles.

In front of him, the auction house in front of him was almost underground in the black market. To be able to make such a big scene, the power behind it was obviously not small.

It is possible that many things that are rarely seen on weekdays will appear.

But he only had more than a thousand spirit stones left in his pocket.

If thirty pieces of Yangmai Pills with one Danwen were auctioned, they would at least be worth two thousand spirit stones.

But the family assets for the auction could also be much richer.

If I really come across something I like, I won't miss it again because of the spirit stone!

"Fellow Daoist... Senior, please wait a moment."

"Our alchemist will be here soon. After confirming the elixir, we will sign a contract with you."

The woman held the three jade bottles tightly, and her words were a little unclear.

"According to...according to the regulations of our bank, the auction items will be charged a 5% handling fee based on the final transaction price..."

"Okay."

Chu Mu nodded, moved a chair and sat down, waiting quietly.

After a moment, hurried footsteps came from the corridor.

What followed was a hurried and expectant voice.

"One Danwen Yangmai Pill? And three bottles at a time?"

"Quick, quick, show it to me!"
