Chapter 261 Black Market 1
Chapter 261 Black Market 1
"We don't have anything to sell." Duanmu Lan said lightly.
When No. 126 heard this, there was a look of disappointment in his eyes.
Duanmu Lan just glanced at the square and said to No. 126, "Take us inside to have a look."
When No. 126 heard the third-level female cultivator speak like this, she obviously had been here many times. When business came, her eyes became bright again. "Please come in, dear guest."
No. 126 extended his hand and saluted, then led the way.
This time, Duanmu Lan followed behind him leisurely.
Walking on the commercial street of this square, Wang Qiye saw it for the first time and felt that everything he saw was new. "The things on this stall look good, too?"
Duanmu Lan smiled softly. "The waters here are very deep. Once you haggle over the price of something in this square and the other party agrees, you must buy it, otherwise you will not be able to leave this black market."
"Also, there are fakes here, but you can also find some good stuff. Whether you can tell the difference depends entirely on your own eyesight. So let's finish our business first, and then come here for a look."
Wang Qiye nodded. It seemed that Duanmu Lan was a frequent visitor here and was familiar with all these things. Since it was a black market, there were naturally more sinister and cunning people. He had only heard that there were people in the antique industry in the old days who made antiques. He had never thought that in the black market of the cultivation civilization, there were people who made fake magic tools. Today he had learned something new.
If it weren't for the guidance of this old hand Duanmu Lan, I would have been fooled by these people the first time I entered this black market, and I would have been cheated of all my money.
The three of them crossed a street in the square, climbed the stairs, stepped through an arch, and walked into a pair of gates facing the square.
"Welcome distinguished guests."
Two rows of welcoming maids shouted in unison.
A plump man holding a folding fan stepped forward, holding the fan in his hand and clasping his fists in greeting. "I am sorry for not welcoming you, my distinguished guest."
"Yeah." Duanmu Lan just nodded lightly as a response.
The plump fat man didn't feel embarrassed and just smiled as if he didn't see anything. "What do you two want to buy?"
"A fifth-level alchemy furnace." Duanmu Lan said bluntly.
When No. 126 heard that these two low-level monks actually wanted to buy things from the fifth level, his eyes brightened up again.
The plump and fat man just nodded slightly and waved his hand. "You two, please go to the third floor."
After saying that, the fat man led the way.
Duanmu Lan was still following leisurely behind.
A few people went up to the third floor and just sat down, two maids hurriedly brought up a few teacups. But except for the fat man and No. 126, Wang Qiye and Duanmu Lan did not touch the teacups beside them.
The plump man took a sip of the teacup and put it on the table next to him, saying with a smile, "What price range of alchemy furnace would you like to buy?"
"That depends on the price range of the alchemy furnace you have." Duanmu Lan did not give an accurate answer.
The plump fat man nodded, thought about it for a moment, clapped his hands, and shouted to the inner room, "Someone, open the No. 1 treasure house and show it to the guests."
Twenty maids came in one after another, each holding a tray in her hand, and on each tray was an antique alchemy furnace.
After the twenty maids stood in two rows, the plump fat man stood up, smiled and extended his hand to greet them. "Please come in, two distinguished guests."
Duanmu Lan and Wang Qiye stood up from their seats without hesitation and checked the alchemy furnace one by one.
Wang Qiye felt that there was no difference between these alchemy furnaces, but Duanmu Lan looked at them very seriously and examined all of them carefully.
There are good and bad ones among these alchemy furnaces, but the two of them came with huge sums of money this time. Although some of the alchemy furnaces have no problems, they can only be sold for 50 spirit stones, which is not good enough for Duanmu Lan. There are also some that have exploded, which Duanmu Lan basically does not consider. She is only satisfied with one alchemy furnace.
The two men sat down on the chairs, and Duanmu Lan shook his head at the fat man.
The plump man thought for a moment, but he didn't seem angry, and he still had his usual smile. "Go down and open the No. 2 treasure house for the distinguished guest."
"Yes."
The two teams of maids retreated back to the inner room one after another, and another twenty maids came in one after another, divided into two rows, and stood in the hall.
The plump and fat man chuckled and waved his hand. "Please come in, my two distinguished guests."
Wang Qiye and Duanmu Lan then stood up and began to check the new batch of fifth-tier alchemy furnaces. At the same time, Wang Qiye secretly smacked his lips, the owner of this black market was really powerful, the fifth-tier alchemy furnaces were like free, just take 20 at random.
Wang Qiye couldn't see anything, he just wanted to enjoy it, so he could only rely on Duanmu Lan. After checking the batch of alchemy furnaces, Duanmu Lan touched the alchemy furnace he liked in his hand and preached to the fat man.
"There are not many good alchemy furnaces in your place."
The fat man was not angry, it seemed that he had met an expert, and said with a smile, "Why, do you want to buy a few more?"
Duanmu Lan did not put down the alchemy furnace in his hand, but continued to stroke it gently. "That's natural."
No. 126 was a little disappointed when he saw that the people teleported over were a cultivator of the second realm and a cultivator of the third realm. But now, when he heard that the female cultivator of the third realm wanted to buy more than just a fifth-order alchemy furnace, he felt as if he had ascended from hell to heaven and was extremely happy.
The look he looked at the two monks became more and more pleasing to the eye.
The plump man thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "As a distinguished guest, my shop will certainly satisfy your wishes. However, if we continue to choose, it will really waste time. I wonder if you are interested in betting on the alchemy furnace?"
"Oh, how do you bet?"
Wang Qiye became interested and asked.
The fat man smiled mysteriously and said, "Follow me, both of you."
The plump fat man walked in front, pushed open the door of the house on the right, and walked in. Wang Qiye and Duanmu Lan followed closely behind him, and No. 126 also followed in.
Inside was a large room, all connected, as big as ten houses. At regular intervals in the room, there were identical large wooden boxes, each two meters high, two meters wide, and two meters long.
The room was filled with boxes like this. There were only these boxes in the room, and it was hard to see anything else.
Wang Qiye looked at the plump fat man suspiciously, asking with his eyes.
The plump fat man was full of confidence at the moment, with a confident smile on his face. "You two, the sealed boxes are all fifth-level alchemy furnaces. I just don't know how many you want to open."
Wang Qiye realized it belatedly and looked to the side. At a glance, he saw that there were more than two hundred large boxes. He was once again shocked by the amount of money this black market owner had.
Wang Qiye's eyes widened as he looked at it, and he asked hurriedly, "Why are they all sealed? Open them quickly and let us take a look."
The plump fat man chuckled again, and then said proudly, "Don't worry, this is a way of playing in the black market. I just don't know if you dare to play it."
Duanmu Lan said calmly. "It's okay to talk about it."
The plump fat man nodded. "These boxes contain fifth-level alchemy furnaces that are priced between 50 and 200 million. Now you only need to pay 20 spirit stones to pick a box. Once you have chosen one, no matter how valuable the alchemy furnace in the box is, you will not be charged any more."
"If you two open more than five boxes at a time, I can make the decision. How about giving you an additional discount of 10,000 spirit stones for each box?"
Wang Qiye and Duanmu Lan looked at each other, and both of them had clear eyes and understood everything. "In these blind boxes, there are a few alchemy furnaces worth 200 million spirit stones, but the number is definitely not large. Most of them are fifth-level alchemy furnaces worth 50 spirit stones."
"This fat guy is really calculating. If he had continued to pick things out slowly, with Duanmu Lan's ability, he would have definitely picked up all the good stuff in his hands. How could he deceive people later? Now he has come up with a trick of opening a blind box, and you have to bear the loss yourself. Since he dares to do this, he must be sure of it."
"A fifth-level alchemy furnace that costs 50 spirit stones can be bought on the black market for only 15 spirit stones. Now it is mixed in these blind boxes. If someone picks it up, it means he has made a profit. He only sells a blind box for 20 spirit stones, but since this business is successful, he must be sure of it."
Wang Qiye quietly sent a message to Duanmu Lan. "What should we do? Does this fat guy not intend to sell all the good stuff to us?"
Duanmu Lan also sent a telepathic message. "Let's wait and see, there's no rush."
After the two of them looked at each other, Duanmu Lan spoke. "We need to take a look first before making a decision."
The fat man seemed very confident, and smiled and waved his hand. "Please do as you please, but once you open it, you will have to pay. There are several people here who have won the jackpot. They only spent 20 spirit stones and got a fifth-level alchemy furnace that sells for 200 million outside. You must not miss this opportunity."
Duanmu Lan nodded slightly, walked towards a large wooden box, and slowly walked around it.
Wang Qiye was bored, so he simply ran to a large wooden box and examined it carefully.
The wood used for this box seems to be the same as the building wood used along the way, which is isolated from spiritual consciousness. And this box is sealed so tightly, the person who designed this blind box has already considered this point, and there is no smell at all.
Wang Qiye turned it three times but couldn't figure out what it was. It seemed that this blind box had no loopholes at all. Everything he could think of was blocked out.
Then, Wang Qiye returned to his original position and gave up exploring the blind box.
Only Duanmu Lan was still slowly circling the big wooden box, looking uncertain.
The plump fat man smiled and asked, "How about it, you two? That fifth-level alchemy furnace that sells for 200 million outside can be taken away for 20 spirit stones here. What do you think?"
"If we open ten blind boxes today, how should the price be calculated?" Duanmu Lan said lightly.
"Ten?" No. 126's eyes lit up, and he could hardly believe it. Although these two monks were at such a low level, their wealth was indeed considerable.
"I finally got lucky this time. I met two people with spirit stones." No. 126 was very excited and was already calculating in his mind how much bonus he would get after this order.
