Chapter 184
184 The night market
The night fell again, and the lights of Shangjing city were on.
Most of the people had already returned home after a day’s hard work; however, more people came out at night.
we’re at Tianyuan bridge station. Please get off from the back door quickly. Don’t waste time! the ticket aunty on the tracked bus shouted to the passengers while shaking the bell in her hand.
The ticket aunty spoke a little urgently, and the copper Bell in her hand rang non-stop, as if urging her.
Hearing the other people’s eagerness to go home, Xia Pingan pulled his collar, stood up, and walked down from the small tracked bus train in a few steps. The few office workers waiting at the platform quickly squeezed into the train. The door of the small tracked train quickly closed, and the train quickly left in the steam.
Xia Pingan sized up the Tianyuan bridge.
There was no bridge on Tianyuan bridge. Right at the intersection 100 m away in front of him, there was a brilliant, high stone memorial archway, on which were written Tianyuan bridge. There was a boisterous night market behind the memorial archway.
However, this night market wasn’t open to ordinary people, so it wasn’t as crowded as ordinary night markets.
Most of the people who came to this night market were Summoners. There were also a few people from all walks of life in Shangjing who came here to exchange and sell various resources or information.
For the ordinary people in Shangjing, these people were dangerous ” Jianghu people “. Naturally, no one was willing to go to the night market.
During the day, Tianyuan bridge was quiet and deserted. Only at night would it become lively.
After being in Shangjing for so many days, this was Xia ping ‘an’s first time here.
It was unknown when Tianyuan bridge became a gathering place for Summoners and various Jianghu people. However, it was said that the police in Shangjing wanted to ban Tianyuan bridge night market, but was stopped by a Big Shot. Banning Tianyuan bridge night market would not make the summoners and Jianghu people in Shangjing give up on trading and gathering. It would only make them trade and gather underground, making them more secretive. Keeping Tianyuan bridge would make it easier to control.
Xia Pingan walked to the entrance of the night market and saw a sign hanging under the memorial Arch at the entrance of the night market. fair trade, harmony breeds wealth. beside the sign, two people in black uniforms with knives at their waists and black single-horned Kasaya masks of the members of the adjudicator Army stood. Their faces could not be seen clearly. Each of them had a light in their hands.
That’s right, the two strong men were holding the same kind of light as the people who lit the lamps. This was a silent warning-don’t make trouble here.
There were also some lantern-lighting men in Shangjing. The adjudicators were the lantern-lighting men in Shangjing, and the two burly men were from the adjudicator Army.
As a former lighting man, Xia Pingan’s mood was a little strange to see someone lighting up a light again in this world. He glanced at the two adjudicators standing under the memorial Arch and walked into the night market.
There were bars, restaurants, brothels, workshops, pawnshops, and auction houses in the night market, but most of the people were people who had set up stalls on both sides of the road.
Realm beads, Dharma artifacts, rune bullets, various elixirs, medicinal herbs, and other items were sold at those stalls.
There were many Summoners who were taking on jobs here, and they had a paper sign beside them. They were chatting while waiting for someone to hire Yingying, like workers waiting for customers to come to their door.
On those signs were written the work they could do and the price they were paid.
Requiem, two gold coins for each visit. We’ll discuss the price of the corpse face-to-face.
renting out a level one Alchemist. Intelligence 58 points. Price to be negotiated face to face.
rent farmers, craftsmen, undertake all kinds of dirty and tiring work. The quantity is good, the price can be negotiated face to face.
“Gold-class bodyguard, I’ll keep you safe!”
“Summoning spirit dog to find the lost and found Gu”
The night market was filled with the smoke and fire of the city. When one came here and saw the summoners looking for work, one would be stunned at first, but soon, one would realize that this was life.
There were many Summoners in this world. For the summoners at the bottom to survive and eat, they could only use their own abilities to provide services for others in exchange for some resources. The landlords and steamed bun vendors in Shangjing would not be able to give you a few copper coins less just because you were a Summoner.
Xia Pingan looked around. Most of the summoners hanging signs here looking for a job to earn money were reserve Summoners below the one sun realm. Once a Summoner reached the one sun realm, they would have more choices and more ways to earn money. There were not many people like this who set up a stall. In any profession, the lower the level, the more competition and the harder it was.
The realm pearls on the side of the road were dazzling. Occasionally, there were some spiritual will crystals, but the price of those spiritual will crystals far exceeded the realm pearls.
The realm beads and spiritual will crystals were not cheap. None of them were below 100 gold coins.
Xia Pingan saw many realm pearls that he had not fused with before. There were all kinds of them, and his eyes lit up. If he had money, he would buy all the realm pearls that he had not fused with. That way, he would be able to advance to the two sun realm and three sun realm in no time. However, he looked at the gold coins in his spatial warehouse and could only suppress his thoughts.
He didn’t have much money at his disposal. The reason he came here tonight was to cash out the spiritual will crystal from ” Sun Bin horse racing ” to see if it could be exchanged for a decent realm Pearl.
Because he didn’t have money, he could only choose carefully here to maximize the value of the spiritual will crystals from Sun Bin horse race.
Other than his identity as a Shadow Guard, he had to find a way to earn money in Shangjing. Only with money could he get the resources and realm beads!
Xia Pingan looked at the things on the street and swallowed her saliva as she thought to herself.
The reward that the Shadow Guard had given him was not considered low, but that bit of reward was still a drop in the ocean compared to the many realm beads. It was not enough at all.
He was still poor!
Just as Xia Pingan was wandering around the night market, looking for a realm Pearl that he could get his hands on, a voice from a nearby street stall suddenly attracted his attention.
“Oh, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen the realm Pearl of the illusionary child.”
the success rate of fusion with the realm Pearl of the illusionary child is too low, and the death rate is too high. Without the help of the spiritual crystal of the illusionary child, the death rate of fusing with this realm Pearl alone is more than 70%, but the success rate is less than 1%. Even if I give you the realm Pearl of the illusionary child, do you have the courage to fuse with it? ”
ah, if I had the magical thought crystal of the illusionary child, I would definitely buy this realm Pearl. If I could summon the illusionary child, that would be awesome. The illusionary child is unpredictable and ever-changing. Even if I meet those Masters of the four-sun realm and the five-sun realm, they would also look at me with respect.
Illusionary child, what illusionary child?
The conversation made Xia Pingan’s heart skip a beat, and he immediately walked toward the source of the voice.
In front of a stall, there were two Summoners who were shopping in the night market. They were discussing the realm pearls on display.
Behind the stall was a burly man with a hairy face and beard. One look and you could tell he was not to be trifled with.
Xia Pingan walked over and glanced at the realm pearls on the stall. He was immediately attracted by one of the realm pearls.
There were a few foundation establishment realm beads, a slave soldier realm bead, a ground prison realm bead, a three-sided net realm bead, and a bianque realm bead on that stall. What attracted Xia Pingan’s attention was a pale golden realm bead among the realm beads. The light of the realm bead was restrained, and the four small flags of ” fortune God yang city ” were faintly visible in the realm bead.
If there were only two words ” Yangcheng ” on the realm Pearl, Xia Pingan might have to spend some time guessing. He had to think about what Yangcheng meant. If Yangcheng was a place name, it referred to the capital city of shunyu in the early Xia Dynasty. If it referred to a person’s name, there were two directions. One was the Lord of Yangcheng during the Warring States period, and the other was Yangcheng of the Tang Dynasty.
With the addition of the word ” God of Fortune “, the direction of the realm Pearl was clear. It was pointing to yang city of the Tang Dynasty.
Sun City was the person who was named the God of Fortune by the Chinese people.
The events in Sun City flashed through Xia Pingan’s mind.
The illusionary child, could it be Yingluo?
“This brother, how much do you sell the realm Pearl of the thousand illusion child?” Xia Pingan pointed at the realm Pearl of the ‘Sun City of fortune God’ and asked calmly.
The hairy-bearded burly man glanced at Xia Pingan and said in a gruff voice, ” 360 gold coins!!!
Before Xia Pingan could speak, one of the two people who were shopping at the stall next to him said, ” 360 gold coins, isn’t it a little too expensive? although this illusionary child’s realm Pearl is rare, without the help of the spiritual crystal, how many people would dare to fuse with it? isn’t that courting death? this realm Pearl is almost the same as poison!
The burly man’s eyes widened as he argued, ” although this realm Pearl is difficult to fuse, it’s not an ordinary realm Pearl. It summons the illusionary child. You don’t know what abilities the illusionary child has. The illusionary child can change into a myriad of forms and appear and disappear silently. Only the summoner who summoned it can see and sense the existence of the illusionary child. Even many experts of the five and six sun realms are afraid of the illusionary child. How is 360 gold coins expensive? If I really had the illusionary child’s spiritual thought crystal, I would have fused it myself, and I wouldn’t be willing to sell it. ”
The burly man waved his pot-sized fist. I killed hundreds of sea monsters before I found this illusionary child’s realm bead. It’s not expensive. If you don’t want to buy it, then go quickly. Don’t disturb my business here, or I’ll beat you up!
The burly man directly drove them away. The two men snorted coldly and left immediately after seeing that the burly man was not to be trifled with.
“Brother, how much is this realm Pearl?” Xia Pingan then pointed at the realm Pearl with the word ‘bianque’ on it.
it’ll be difficult to fuse this realm Pearl without a spiritual crystal. It’ll be 150 gold coins, ” the man replied.
Xia Pingan smiled and pretended to put his hand into his pocket. Then, he took out his ” Sun Bin’s horse racing ” spiritual will crystal and said, ” brother, look. I saw this spiritual will crystal in the shop over there just now. It’s worth about 540 gold coins. How about I use this spiritual will crystal to exchange for your two realm pearls? ”
