“Who are you? Why did you come here?”

The two men approached and blocked Li Yuanqing’s sides.

Li Yuanqing took a step back timidly and looked at the two men worriedly.

“I’m here to sell something.”

“To sell something?” The man with the big ringed saber smiled at Li Yuanqing disdainfully and said, “What can you have? Do you know who is coming in and out of this place to sell treasures here?”

“This thing of mine is very expensive. I went to several places but no one could afford it, so I found this place.”

Li Yuanqing’s words surprised the two men. They looked at each other and laughed as if they were watching a joke.

“Kid, you’re joking with me, right? What can you have that others can’t afford?”

Li Yuanqing waved his hand and a circle of fog suddenly rose in front of him.

The fog dissipated with the wind, revealing a huge black cloth below. Under the black cloth was a tall and big thing.

“Kid, who are you selling this lousy stone to? This place sell medicinal herbs and Dharma artifacts. If you dare to fool us brothers, you’ll suffer today!”

Li Yuanqing ignored him and suddenly pulled off the black cloth with one hand, revealing a huge fruit that was more than half the height of a person.

The moment they saw this huge fruit, the two brothers widened their eyes in shock.

The two of them did not speak for a long time, and they did not know what to say. The two of them had never seen such a huge Fire Spirit Fruit in their lives. How could this Fire Spirit Fruit grow so big? Even the Fire Spirit Fruit cultivated by those large sects was only the size of a human head.

However, this fruit was more than half the size of a person.

Li Yuanqing coughed lightly and added, “I know a senior who plants medicinal herbs. This is the latest Fire Spirit Fruit planted by that senior. I wonder if it can be sold here?”

The two brothers finally reacted when they heard Li Yuanqing’s words. The two of them looked at Li Yuanqing with their mouths agape.

“Where did you get this?”

The man holding the iron rod could not help but ask.

The big ringed saber at the side slapped the back of his head.

“Idiot, didn’t he already say that? He got this from a senior who grows medicinal herbs.”

“Yes, yes, yes. I forgot just now. Look…”

Li Yuanqing covered the black cloth again and put away the Fire Spirit Fruit. He looked at the two men worriedly and said, “It’s fine if I can’t sell it here. I’ll find another place.”

Just as Li Yuanqing was about to leave, the man with the big ringed saber immediately circled around and blocked Li Yuanqing’s path.

“Brother, you can’t leave!”

“What is it?”

“You must sell this Fire Spirit Fruit to us!”

“I think it’s a little inconvenient for the two of you?”

“There’s nothing inconvenient about it. Leave this Fire Spirit Fruit to us brothers. We’ll definitely sell it for you. However, you have to know our rules.”

The man glanced at his brother beside him. The man holding the wooden stick immediately added, “We brothers will definitely help you sell this Fire Spirit Fruit for a good price, but you have to give us ten percent of the commission.”

The corners of Li Yuanqing’s mouth twitched slightly. He could not help but want to beat these two up.

Was the remuneration here so exaggerated? Ten percent was simply robbery.

However, Li Yuanqing still endured it. He still pretended to be very weak and rejected them after thinking hard.

“I’m sorry, these herbs were painstakingly planted by that old senior. I can’t make this decision.”

As Li Yuanqing spoke, he planned to leave. At this moment, the two of them communicated with each other. In the end, the man with the saber gritted his teeth, as if he had made a very difficult decision.

“In that case, we’ll only charge you half of the commission since we pity you today. How about that? This is already very little. We won’t be able to do this job anymore!”

“But…”

“But what but? Brother, hurry up and follow me in. If you hesitate any longer, you won’t be able to sell it for a good price after the big customers leave after this peak period!”

With the help of the two of them, Li Yuanqing entered the Golden Bamboo Mountain at a very fast speed.

Of course, one could not see the Black Market from the outside. It was inside the Golden Bamboo Mountain. If one wanted to enter, they had to have a special token to pass through the defensive array outside.

After passing through the mountain protection array outside, they arrived at a very long and dark passageway.

The three of them walked along the passageway for a while before they were finally released from the quiet atmosphere. A very lively atmosphere assaulted their faces, instantly filling their empty ears.

The three of them took a few more steps forward when the scene in front of them suddenly became clear.

The originally narrow passageway turned into a vast hall. This hall was like an inverted bowl in the middle of the mountain. The hall was surrounded by many passageways. Although this hall looked spacious, it was not very big compared to the entire area of the Golden Mountain.

Li Yuanqing simply sensed that there were other power fluctuations in the inconspicuous corridors. They probably had more than one hall.

After entering from the aisle, there was a platform beside him. A white-haired old woman sat behind the platform and leaned against the rocking chair with her eyes closed in boredom.

“Grandma Huang, this brother wants to join our guild.”

The old woman half-opened her eyes and scanned Li Yuanqing. She casually threw out a wooden tablet with her withered hands and threw it into Li Yuanqing’s arms.

“Take it.”

Li Yuanqing held the wooden tablet and looked at the old woman.

“What are you planning to sell?”

Before Li Yuanqing could answer, the brother beside him took out a high-grade spirit stone and placed it in front of the old woman.

“Grandma Huang, this is his deposit.”

The old woman’s eyes widened slightly as she searched the person’s face in confusion.

“Grandma, don’t worry so much. Take these spirit stones. Don’t delay our business.”

Seeing how anxious the two of them were, Grandma Huang took a deep look at Li Yuanqing and moved her hands slightly on the platform in front of her.

Li Yuanqing felt the wooden tablet in his hand tremble slightly. Then, the granny lay down again and closed her eyes to rest.

“Brother, hurry up and leave. We can’t delay any longer. This is good stuff. It’s a lively time now. It won’t be easy to sell it after they leave.”

After the three of them left, the granny half-opened her eyes and looked in the direction where the three of them had left. She could not help but say, “Another fat sheep.”

Li Yuanqing’s ears twitched slightly. He was supported by the two of them as they walked in. They did not stay in the hall outside for long. Instead, they came to a slightly wider aisle at the side and walked straight into it.

After walking out of the aisle, they arrived at a smaller hall, but it was very quiet.

In the middle of the hall was a sunken round platform with high chairs beside it. Many people were sitting there. Many of them were wearing cloaks and masks, and no one showed their faces.

When Li Yuanqing entered just now, the two brothers had also put on a mask. The two of them excitedly pulled Li Yuanqing along the aisle and hurried backstage.

Li Yuanqing glanced at the graceful woman on the stage. She was holding a tray with a very clean jade bottle on it.

“The Phoenix White Jade Pill uses the third-grade Supremacy realm phoenix’s inner core as the main ingredient. It can only be refined into three pills after carefully refining for forty-nine days.

“After consuming this Phoenix White Jade Pill, it can greatly repair the injuries of the body in an extremely short period of time. It’s especially useful for cultivators with fire-attribute spiritual energy.

“This item is extremely precious. There are a total of three pills here. The starting bid is twenty high-grade spirit stones. Everyone, please start bidding!”

Li Yuanqing only heard the starting price of twenty high-grade spirit stones before entering the backstage. It was much quieter here, and the sounds outside were isolated.

There were many people busy backstage. There were some cages, platforms, or all kinds of messy equipment placed here. All of these were for the better effect of the stage in front.

Many people were busy here. Most of them looked relaxed and tired as they discussed where to go later.

“Today’s auction is much less lively than before.”

“There really aren’t any real treasures today. It was only because of those pills. Otherwise, I’m afraid everyone would have left long ago.”

“But that’s good. It’s not very busy today. I can sneak out early.”

“Kid, why aren’t you cultivating properly? All you think about is going out and fooling around with your demoness every day. Let’s see when you can break through to the Supremacy realm!”

“You still have the cheek to say that about me? What about you? You’re chasing after the female disciple of your sect? Did she care about you?”

Li Yuanqing listened along the way. These people chatted about nothing and finally arrived at a very quiet hut.

This hut was built from pure white jade. There was a strange bluish-purple color lingering in the jade. The energy lingering inside formed a very three-dimensional isolation effect.

In the hut, a man covered in gems was sitting at a small table. Purple fog was lingering in front of him, and a unique fragrance wafted out of him.

“Master Wuyan.”

The two men were still anxious just now, but after entering the hut, they became much more reserved and carefully guarded the door.

The man called Master Wuyan replied without looking back. He put down his work and asked casually, “Who did you bring today?”

This was considered a summons from this master. The two of them happily pulled Li Yuanqing in and stood beside Master Wuyan.

“Master, we really found something good today. This kid has a very huge Fire Spirit Fruit on him. That Fire Spirit Fruit is as tall as a person. It will definitely be able to be sold for a good price!”

This master in gorgeous clothes finally turned around. When he saw Li Yuanqing, he turned back and yawned in boredom.

“Shan Que, I should have said this many times. Don’t bring something like the Fire Spirit Fruit to me.”

“But Master, this fellow’s Fire Spirit Fruit is really different from others. Take a look.”

As he spoke, he hurriedly urged Li Yuanqing to take out the Fire Spirit Fruit again.

Li Yuanqing reluctantly summoned the Fire Spirit Fruit. The huge fruit appeared in the room, making it look much smaller.

When Master Wuyan saw the Fire Spirit Fruit, he was stunned for a moment. He seemed to have never expected that there was really such a huge Fire Spirit Fruit.

“This should be a fruit in disguise, right?”

Li Yuanqing was still a little uncertain. He had not interacted much with the Fire Spirit Fruit in the past.

“This is a pure fire spirit fruit. It’s just a Fire Spirit King!”

Master Wuyan ignored Li Yuanqing’s words. He stretched out a finger and poked a small hole in the Fire Spirit Fruit before placing it in his mouth.

After a while, the master suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the huge Fire Spirit Fruit with a burning gaze.

“Not only is this fruit huge, but the energy inside is also extremely pure. It’s actually completely different from ordinary fire spirit fruits!”

“Master, what did I tell you just now? It’s definitely the real deal this time!”

Shan Que slapped his good brother excitedly. The two of them had finally caught something good.

Master Wuyan ignored them and looked at Li Yuanqing. “Where did you get this fruit?”

Li Yuanqing still replied with the same answer as before, “My fruit was personally nurtured by a senior I know. However, it’s not convenient for me to reveal this senior’s name. Master, please forgive me.”

“What senior? Why have I never heard of anyone growing such a huge fire spirit fruit?”

“I’m afraid I can’t reveal that.”

“Sigh, why are you so insensible? Master Wuyan is knowledgeable and is treating you well!”

Shan Que glared at Li Yuanqing unhappily and warned him.

However, Wuyan waved his hand and looked at Li Yuanqing. “It’s fine! If it’s not convenient, I won’t ask further. Masters have their own unique personalities!”

“Thank you.”

“How many Fire Spirit Fruits do you have?”

“It’s not much, but can this be sold for a good price? I have to give an explanation to my senior.”

“Can it be sold for a good price?” Master Wuyan seemed to have heard a joke. “Your treasure has never appeared before. Do you think you can sell it for a good price?”
