Cataclysm King - #377 - Chapter 377 Shadow Abyss Market
If there is any master in Donghuang who can pose a threat to Qin Ru, apart from the Titan armor, it can only be the Moon God who has gained unknown strength.
But as Qin Ru said, she came this time for the three sacred objects, the [Ten Thousand Immortal Lamps] and the [Secret Scroll of Immortal Magic].
She came according to the rules, and the Bai family members had to follow the rules.
Otherwise, the immortals may not necessarily believe those who won through conspiracy.
After all, in the eyes of the immortals, Qin Rushi is also a member of the Bai family. This is an internal struggle, and it is natural for the strong to control the inherited items.
Moreover, the sacred object cannot be used by anyone who has it in his hands.
But it depends on the fit.
Especially the [Secret Scroll of Immortal Techniques], a treasure that records countless secret techniques of the ancestors of the Bai family. The super-level secret techniques in the secret volume are simply incomprehensible if they are not of a high enough level.
At present, there may not be many seventh-level people in the entire Eastern Wasteland.
Ji Xun doesn’t know if the current Bai family has it.
But even if there were, there was a high probability that he wouldn’t be able to defeat Qin Rushi.
Of course, no one in the Bai family thought that Qin Ru could get off the [Neon] train alive.
Nor would she have thought that she could really ask an ancestral spirit fairy to descend upon her.
The airship swayed violently in the air, like a ship drifting in huge waves.
The guests and seats in the restaurant also swayed, and there was a loud sound of shattering plates.
Everyone was panicking and didn’t know what was happening.
By the window, Ivan quickly jumped up and climbed on the table, guarding her food with a nervous look on his face.
Ji Xun looked at the little loli who was busy stuffing food into her mouth, and smiled softly.
His eyes were watching the battle in the distance with interest.
Since Qin Ruzhi used the immortal state and the gods descended to earth, of course it was impossible for him to lose.
Ji Xun is more curious about how the Bai family will deal with the ending.
“Boom”, “Boom”, “Boom”.
In the blink of an eye, the two warring parties had collided head-on for several rounds.
Just looking at the shining golden Valkyrie in the distance, one against ten, she didn’t lose the slightest bit.
With the Bai Family Manor as the center, shock waves exploded in the city streets like world-destroying thunder.
A battle of this magnitude is as loud as a city being destroyed.
In the nearby blocks, high-rise buildings fell down in pieces.
Unfortunately, not long after the excitement was over, the fog of war enveloped the area.
Soon the sounds of fighting also stopped.
Ji Xun knew that this discussion should be over.
The background of the Bai family is also deep.
If we really fight to the end, it’s hard to say whether we will win or lose.
But this is an internal fight after all, and the elders of the Bai family and the immortal family absolutely don’t want to see a situation where both sides suffer.
Qin Ru used her crushing strength to prove that she had the right to take things away.
that’s enough.
She is more suitable than anyone in the Bai family to hold those two inherited sacred objects.
The fighting stopped and the airship stabilized.
Ji Xun was a little disinterested.
He didn’t move around and continued eating.
Less than half an hour later, a man with a cloak covering his face walked into the restaurant.
She sat opposite Ji Xun and lifted her cloak to reveal her beautiful face.
Ji Xun smiled and pointed at the food on the table and said, “Aunt Qin, I just ordered this for you, roasted venison in mushroom soup.”
Qin Rushi smiled slightly: “Thank you.”
Opening the lid of the meal, the aroma fills your nostrils.
After feeling the temperature of the food, I just calculated the time for my arrival.
It’s still my favorite taste, but I’m quite thoughtful about it.
Ji Xun asked again: “Is it done?”
“Yeah. It went pretty well.”
As Qin Ru said this, he motioned to the cloth bag hanging on his body, but did not intend to open it, “With these two sacred objects, the ancestral spirit master can also be taken care of. There are also those immortal secrets. It will take a lot of time later. If you study, it will improve me a lot.”
Ji Xun couldn’t hide the look on his face: “Oh?”
The inherited sacred objects of the Talunbai family are definitely not ordinary things. Just listening to them arouses people’s curiosity.
“I’ll show it to you later when I get the chance. It will be troublesome to take it out now.”
Qin Ruzhi knew that Ji Xun was more curious about the previous battle, and then said: “There are a few old guys in the Bai family who are really strong, and they have also prepared a few high-level relics to restrain me. If it weren’t for the ancestral spirit descending from the gods, I would It’s really not possible to escape unscathed.”
“.”
After Ji Xunzhang heard about it, he realized that there were some hidden masters in the Bai family who were unknown to outsiders like the old fox he met on the Netherworld Train.
Fortunately, it was an absolute strength, so there was no surprise.
Qin Ru said again: “The elders of the Bai family even want me to stay in the Bai family. Haha, I have no interest in the Bai family at all.”
With a sneer, she added: “The Bai family is in ruins now. When I entered the manor, I only saw a group of conspirators sitting around the cake in Donghuang, ready to share the power. They looked like people in a cemetery. Like a corpse, it exudes the stench of decay.”
Ji Xun listened quietly.
I almost knew the situation of the Bai family when I read the diary on the train.
A family of conspiracy politicians.
It’s really not interesting.
He looked at Qin Rushi opposite, who was chewing slowly, and suddenly thought of something, and handed over the leaflet of the Silver Moon Sect on the table: “By the way, Aunt Qin, take a look at this.”
“Um?”
Qin Ru raised his head and glanced, and his eyes immediately noticed something unusual: “Is this taboo the Seven Natural Disaster Monarchs you mentioned?”
“Um.”
Ji Xun nodded and expressed his opinion: “It should be a method left over from the Talon period to deal with the outer gods. I don’t know exactly what the moon god wants to do.”
Hearing this, Qin Rushi’s expression became serious.
She had also discovered before that the problem of faith pollution in Donghuang was more serious than expected.
And when Ji Xunzhu said it, she also realized that the current situation in Donghuang was so complicated that it was not just a problem of the Silver Moon Sect.
The two of them thought about it and still couldn’t think of any good solution.
But no matter how you deduce it, the problem of Silver Moon Sect is not optimistic.
Thinking of this, Qin Ru said: “The things here have been taken care of. I plan to go to the north. I will gather the revolutionary forces left in the East Wasteland and temporarily move them to the more remote uninhabited cave area. At least the East Wasteland If Huang’s side is defeated, there will still be some hope left.”
I wasn’t that anxious at first, but now it seems that the sooner the better.
“Um.”
Ji Xun nodded.
Qin Ruzhi is different from him who is a loner. She is the deputy leader of the revolutionary army and has more than one million troops to manage.
Ji Xun also revealed his plan: “I’m still barely able to comprehend the sixth level. I plan to stay in the Thieves City for a few days and go to the black market to look for professional materials.”
When Qin Ru heard this, she glanced at him, turned her crystal eyes, and said with emotion: “It’s really fast. I didn’t expect that in the blink of an eye, you would advance to the sixth level.”
After a pause, he didn’t know what he thought of, and then smiled gently.
No one mentioned it yet, so Ji Xun felt that a long time had passed. He said, “Yes. It seems that it was a long time ago when I first met Aunt Qin.”
The two of them first met in Hong Lou, when he was a novice card master who had just entered the first level.
Going around and around, so many things have happened, and in a blink of an eye, we are reaching the sixth level, which is considered to be the top level master field that I never dared to think about.
Just as he was thinking about it, Qin Ru’s eyebrows moved slightly, and then an erratic smile appeared on his lips: “Well, I happened to reach the seventh level and got the [Secret Scroll of Immortal Law]. This will be more helpful for you to understand the field. ”
Ji Xun’s expression lit up when he heard this and said to himself, “That’s right!”
He did not forget that Aunt Qin in front of him said that the Bai family also had methods similar to the Silver Moon Secret Technique to assist people in enlightenment.
Qin Ru said, looking at the dinner plate with slightly narrowed eyes, and used a silver fork to take a bite of the venison.
After swallowing it slowly, she added: “Practice well. Contact me again after you have successfully advanced and stabilized your ‘domain’.”
Ji Xun looked at that beautiful face and smiled brightly: “Okay!”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the table changed slightly.
My friend accompanied me for a journey, but we were separated again.
But neither of them are pretentious people.
At this time, Qin Ru’s graceful eyes were full of smiles, and she added: “Be careful, don’t die.”
Ji Xun’s eyes flashed with a strange look as he listened: “Yeah.”
Qin Ru left after dinner.
Ji Xun was still at the dining table, looking out the window at the high-rise Thieves City with a look of deep thought on his face.
He plans to stay here. Apart from what he just said, there is one very important point that he has not said yet.
His intuition told him that there seemed to be some danger targeting him.
Qin Rushi obviously noticed something.
That’s why I said those meaningful words when I was leaving.
But she also knew that if Ji Xun wanted to help, he would definitely ask and she would definitely stay.
If you don’t ask, then the matter cannot be solved by asking.
Ji Xun now has many enemies, but they are nothing more than the Southern Continent and the Oran Royal Court.
He wasn’t sure where the bad feeling came from.
However, his current strength can go anywhere in Donghuang, but there are not many people who can at least pose a fatal threat to him.
Of course, there is another possibility: it is little Ivan above his head.
The rebel dragon army is not weak in the southern continent, but Aragorn still sent this little loli to the Eastern Wasteland for refuge.
It’s enough to show that this girl is definitely in a lot of trouble.
However, Ji Xun didn’t think it was any trouble. Crisis has always been a necessity in life for him.
What’s more, the causal line involved in this girl Ivan is not that simple.
Ji Xun plans to stay in Ji Xun City for the time being, because there are many people here with mixed causes, and it is not easy to be found by mysterious means. Another idea is that if someone from the Southern Continent comes to find them, the Bai family should be able to stop them. Some trouble in first gear.
Just as he was thinking about it, little Ivan patted his bulging belly and collapsed on the sofa completely, muttering with satisfaction: “Ah, I’m so full.”
After burping, this little loli gradually couldn’t raise her eyelids, and sleepiness came over her instantly.
“Mr. Ji Xun, I want to sleep~”
As soon as she finished speaking, the girl lay on Ji Xun’s shoulder skillfully, pillowed his head, and fell asleep.
Ji Xun listened to the whirring sound and shook his head with a smile.
He put on his windbreaker, stood up and walked out of the dining room.
The City of Thieves is not only one of the largest cities in the Federation, it also houses the largest and most secretive trading market for mysterious materials in the Eastern Wasteland.
Ji Xun had heard about it a long time ago.
Many professions among the mysterious card masters have shady methods.
Such as curser, evil alchemist, black mage, dream stealer, mysterious apprentice, gravedigger
Card masters in these professions have their own evil talents, and are ostracized and unpopular in other places.
But they also needed a place where they could communicate and exchange materials, so that’s why “Baby City” was created.
New World Cult, Dark Brotherhood, Order of Secrets, Poker Order, Scarlet Witch, Knights of Corruption
Almost all of these notorious evil organizations and killer organizations in the Eastern Wasteland have their bases here.
Even the history of some organizations is older than the history of the city lord Bai family.
There are countless mysterious card masters hidden in the darkness of the city, and they have also brought many rare items and forbidden treasures.
Those stolen goods that cannot be sold in auction houses, some vicious spells and forbidden spells, only evil card masters will use forbidden materials.
In short, you can find everything that you can’t buy anywhere else in the black market of Thieves City.
Of course, the shadow of the Bai family is indispensable behind this.
Ji Xun even speculated that some criminal gangs were secretly supported by the Bai family.
The black market in Thieves City has a special name – “Shadow Deep Market”.
Unlike Innocence City, a place where criminals are exiled, the black market can be open and honest on the streets.
This “Shadow Abyss Market” is more in line with the title of black market.
Just like going to a market, the location and time are not fixed and only insiders know.
Fortunately, Ji Xun is very familiar with the gang’s methods.
After contacting a local gang and spending some money, it was easy to get the exact coordinates of the black market.
It happens that there is a rally today.
At eight o’clock in the evening, Ji Xun arrived at Beicheng by car on time.
Under the guidance of the gangster, they took a small boat and slid in the dark underground river for a quarter of an hour before arriving at a temporary gathering place built against the underground river.
Along both sides of the river are simple stilted buildings built of wood.
The building was illuminated by dim lights and blocked by a coarse cloth curtain, making it difficult to see what was inside.
There are piles of materials for Dabao and Xiaobao at the door, and there is no signboard.
There are also simple steel rails on the rock wall, used to transport some goods.
The inlaid gas lamp flickers on and off, casting swaying light and shadow in the water, shrouding the entire black market in an uneasy atmosphere.
The boat brought Ji Xun to the shore, and after paying the boat fare, Ji Xun stepped on the wet stone slabs and walked up slowly.
There was an eerie silence in the black market. There weren’t many people there, but Ji Xun sensed quite a few.
There were only three to five people in the dozens of stilted shops, and on the path along the rock wall, there were many mysterious guys like Ji Xun who wore gas masks and cloaks to cover their faces.
There are no legal and moral constraints here, only sin and darkness.
Everyone acted cautiously.
Ji Xun felt nothing strange in his heart. Instead, he felt that walking in the dark made him feel more at ease than walking in public.
He walked up.
I took a glance at the Diaojiaolou as I passed by.
Although the shops in the black market have no signs, most of the products are not displayed.
But by glancing through the crack in the door, Ji Xun could roughly guess what it was selling.
The pungent smell of herbs and chemical reagents filled the air, and the glass bottles were filled with colorful liquids. This was a pharmacy shop, and the owner was a one-eyed old man.
If I remember correctly, it should be called “Blind Chen”.
There is an animal bone hanging at the door. The main business is selling various corpse materials.
Those with the Black Soul Flower logo on the curtains sell cursed materials.
There are also a full range of poisons, cards, and mechanical equipment for sale.
Ji Xun collected information from gangsters and intelligence dealers, and almost all of them matched the numbers.
The owners of these shops are also wild and can get anything.
Walking to the door of a shop selling corpse materials, Ji Xun even saw two living dragonborn in iron cages.
I guess they were prisoners captured on the battlefield.
Then I walked to the door of a machinery shop and found two burly customers holding a steam hammer for testing.
Ji Xun just glanced at it and couldn’t help but look sideways: “TE22 steam battering ram? Do you have these?”
This is not an ordinary mechanical equipment, but an accessory for the Hunter God Armor!
You know, this is top secret officially in Oran.
Is this available on the black market?
Although the workmanship looks rough, like a pirated copy from a black workshop, and the functions are not complete, it is definitely the same thing.
Not to mention some other military-grade banned equipment.
Along the way, I saw a lot.
Seeing this, Ji Xun became more and more looking forward to the black market.
There are dozens of shops in Yingyuan Market, but Ji Xun is not very interested in them.
He came to the black market to find materials for his advancement.
Materials above the fourth level are rarely available in ordinary shops.
I had inquired about it from the gang before. There was a shop called “Old Mog’s Potion Shop” in the black market.
There are “really good stuff” here.
Although Ji Xun knew that those gangsters had bad intentions, he also wanted to see what kind of shop it was, so that they could assure themselves that he would be satisfied.
After walking for a while on the rock plank road, I saw a shop with a glass bottle containing green glowing bugs as a light bulb hanging at the door.
Ji Xun waited for a moment. After two guests walked out, he walked in.
The rules of the black market are like this, you can’t wander around, and the shop will only receive one group of customers.
As for outsiders who don’t understand the rules, the shop also welcomes them.
Because the first time he didn’t obey the rules, there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him in the darkness. It probably won’t be long before their stripped bodies will be in a sewer somewhere in the city.
After walking in, the three sides of the less than ten square meters room were filled with containers.
The shopkeeper behind the containers was an old woman with tattoos all over her face and a mouth full of black teeth.
She looked like a card master from the witch sequence.
She looked at Ji Xun coming in and asked, “What do you want to buy?”
Ji Xun, who was wearing a cloak and covering his face, pretended to be deep and said, “Are there any high-level relics used for mysterious or melee cards? The higher the grade, the better.”
He also wanted to see what good things this kind of shop could have.
“Oh? A distinguished guest is here.”
When the black-toothed old woman heard this, a strange laugh leaked out from her teeth, “You’ve come to the right place.”
She didn’t waste time, raised her hand and took out three cards.
The cards were painted with skull bones, bloody fishbone swords, and a green flask.
The old lady with black teeth introduced: “The second-level relic [Cursed Skull], as long as there is a biological marker of the target, it can remotely apply the abscess curse, and those below the third-level card master will almost certainly die; the third-level relic [Evil Weapon·Long Fang], as long as the person is stabbed, will be subject to witchcraft curse and bleeding. There is also this second-level [Black-bellied King Snake Acid Bottle], which can corrode almost all substances you can think of.”
It must be said that the shopkeeper really took out three things that made Ji Xun very interested as soon as he arrived.
But if Ji Xun remembered correctly, this [Evil Weapon·Long Fang] is not the weapon of a Class A wanted criminal?
After just a glance, Ji Xun looked unimpressed and said lightly: “Is there anything better? It’s best to be a disaster item.”
The thing is indeed interesting, but it is not very attractive to him.
Seeing his attitude, the old lady with black teeth was also slightly displeased, saying: “Hehe. Your tone is quite big.”
Ji Xun listened and said nothing.
But after all, it was a business. The old lady narrowed her eyes and shone coldly, and said sinisterly: “If the old lady said there is, what can you buy it with?”
Really?
Ji Xun just wanted to test the other party’s bottom.
Didn’t expect to hear this tone, maybe there is?
In this underground black market, money is no longer the only currency in circulation, knowledge, intelligence, and even soul contracts can become bargaining chips.
But Ji Xun is not short of money, and he calmly took out a bag of valuable rare crystal cores and said in a deep voice: “As long as there is something good that satisfies me. The price can be negotiated.”
The black-toothed old lady looked at Ji Xun’s calm demeanor, and the dark light in her turbid eyes trembled for a moment.
Ji Xun was observing her, and she had been observing Ji Xun.
The old lady didn’t see through the background of the customer in front of her, but she also knew that a real big customer had come.
Hearing this, she took out a pottery pot without hesitation and introduced it: “[X-227-Soul-carrying Pottery Figurine], a genuine disaster object.”
When Ji Xun saw this thing, his expression was the same, but he couldn’t hide his surprise in his heart: He really took it out?
