Chapter 235 Hidden Square Market

Xianyue City.

Outer shanty towns.

Messy and crude houses, bustling crowds, and randomly discarded garbage.

No matter where you are, there are rich and poor, there are practicing masters flying around, and there are Qi practicing monks who are precarious. Even places like Xianyue City are not exempt from the vulgarity.

In an old house, Xu Mu was sorting out his clothes. There was a dark and damp atmosphere in the air, and some unknown small insects were crawling around on the ground and in the corners.

Xu Mu hung the storage bag on his waist, raised his foot and crushed a fearless bed bug to death. After making sure that nothing was missing, he used his invisibility technique and disappeared into the room out of thin air.

He had gone down the mountain to look for this house earlier, and hid his storage bag here in advance in order to use the Void Transformation Technique to go down the mountain.

He was really criticized for not being able to bring anything with him after he was transformed, but there was nothing he could do about it.

As for why he used the Void Transformation Technique to hide on Ye Bufan and go down the mountain, it was naturally to pretend that he was still on the mountain.

Although he used his true body to go down the mountain, no one might find him, but for the sake of safety, Xu Mu still chose to act carefully and try not to leave any traces.

After all, the price of being discovered is too high.

"After all these years, I don't know if Tianyang Palace is still pursuing me?"

Xu Mu thought secretly in his heart.

Although people were coming and going on the street, no one noticed Xu Mu who used the invisibility technique.

Xu Mu used this high-level invisibility technique to deceive a group of foundation-building monks in the Iron Corpse Gang.

The shantytown is the most desolate area in Xianyue City. It is basically populated by low-level monks who are in the early and middle stages of Qi training. How could they see through his invisibility technique.

Xu Mu kept walking and walked away from the city. He had no intention of selling what he had in Xianyue Palace.

After leaving the shantytown and walking some distance, his spiritual mind swept over and made sure there was no one nearby. Xu Mu then removed the invisibility spell from his body, took out a mask with white cloud patterns and put it on his face.

This mask was given to him by the woman whose name he didn't know when he was in the Yunding Mountains. Xu Mu tested it and found that its concealment ability is extremely strong. It is estimated that only those in the Nascent Soul stage can see the clues.

In addition to this golden mask, he also had two more, one purple and one blue, which were taken off the faces of the two fat men and women he brought out.

In order to avoid having his true appearance seen during the rest of the trip, he deliberately took out this mask and put it on his face.

After putting on the mask, Xu Mu turned into a white escaping light and flew towards the southwest.

There is a place over there where the black market is.

Xianyue City is too close to Xianyue Palace, and there are a large number of golden elixir masters stationed there. Even the ancestors in the Nascent Soul stage will occasionally come to check.

What he wants to sell is unusual. If he sells it in Xianyue City, the risk of exposure is too high. If he is found out, he will probably be in big trouble.

It was safer to sell it on the black market. With his strength, as long as he was careful, there wouldn't be any big problems.

After flying at full speed in the air for more than half an hour, Xu Mu slowed down and finally stopped in front of a lake surrounded by green mountains.

This is where the black market is. The reason why there is nothing in front of you is just because there is a formation covering it.

It was here that he sold some of his magic weapons.

At this time, there were already more than a dozen monks in various costumes waiting around. Facing the arrival of Xu Mu, everyone did not react much. They just glanced at him. No one came forward to talk to him, and no one used his spiritual thoughts rashly. Check.

Since I came to the black market to trade, I naturally didn't want to expose my identity, and there was no such thing as building friendships or building relationships.

Xu Mu also didn't ask for trouble. He chose a deserted place and stood there with his eyes closed and waited.

For the sake of safety and concealment, the formations in the black market will only be opened after a period of time, so everyone will wait here.

According to Xu Mu's knowledge, this hidden black market should be guarded by more than a dozen Jindan period. In terms of security and transaction volume, it is second only to Xianyue City.

No one knows the origins of these golden elixirs who opened up the black market.

He might be a casual cultivator, a cultivator from a major sect, or an ancestor of a large family, or even more likely a member of the demonic path.

The only reason why they got together was to earn spiritual stones.

Some treasures obtained through extraordinary means, such as the secrets of certain sects' techniques, can be easily traced if traded in a place like Xianyue City, but there is no need to worry about the black market.

Buyers here only look at the goods, not the people, and they don’t ask about the origin of the items.

Of course, in a place like this, it’s hard to raise the price too high.

After waiting for about an hour, the originally empty lake suddenly opened an entrance two people high and one foot wide.

Through the entrance, you can see the people coming and going inside, just like a bustling town.

Xu Mu opened his eyes and followed the crowd inside.

At the entrance, there were two teams of Qi-training monks wearing armor and holding magic weapons and spears.

"Ten yuan of low-grade spirit stones to enter the city!" The leader, a guard in the late stage of Qi training, said with an expression on his face.

Everyone who entered did not speak, silently handed over the spirit stones, and then walked past the guards with wooden signs representing their identities into the market.

Xu Mu, like everyone else, finished handing over the spirit stones, blended into the crowd, and quickly disappeared.

The guard, who had long been accustomed to it, did not pay attention to what everyone was thinking. After confirming that no one came in, he closed the entrance again and continued to wait there for the next opening.

There aren't many people in Fangshi, but they're not too few either. It's just that compared to the bustling and bustling city, it's a bit strangely quiet here.

Even the two people who were haggling at the roadside stall tried to keep their voices down for fear of being heard by others.

Pedestrians on the road were even more cautious, trying to keep their distance as much as possible. They were either wearing masks on their faces, hats on their heads, or using secret techniques to hide their faces.

Xu Mu's dress was not conspicuous in the crowd.

He didn't use his mind to scan around, he quickly moved through the crowd, and soon arrived in front of an attic.

In order to avoid being traced by nearby sects, the black market may be relocated at any time. It is a waste to build shops, so most of the merchants inside just set up simple street stalls.

The only people who can go to great lengths to build a loft in the black market are the managers behind the black market.

The things Xu Mu wants to sell are not cheap, and ordinary cultivators cannot afford them, so they can only sell them in this kind of shop.

After entering the attic, a plump maid wearing a veil walked over with her waist twisted. Her body was filled with a strange fragrance.

"Fellow Taoist, are you here to buy something or sell something?"

"Selling things! Take me to see your shopkeeper!" Xu Mu said calmly.

"Fellow Taoist, can you let me see what you want to sell first?" The maid did not agree immediately, obviously she wanted to wait for a price.

"Um?"

Xu Mu frowned slightly and immediately released the aura of the golden elixir stage.

The maid's eyes trembled fiercely, and she said hurriedly: "Senior, please come with me, I will inform the shopkeeper right away!"

A strong man in the Golden Core stage, no matter what he sells, is not something she can accept.

Xu Mu nodded and followed the maid into the single room at the back. Not long after, a purple-robed monk wearing a white mask hurried in.

"Senior, I kept you waiting for a long time! I am the shopkeeper!"

Seeing that the shopkeeper was only in the late stage of foundation building, Xu Mu couldn't help but frown again. After all, he was underestimated.

He did not scold the other party for continuing to change people, but took out two bottles of elixirs and placed them on the table.

"I want to sell these two bottles of elixirs. Can you give me a price?"

"Elixir?"

The shopkeeper's eyes flickered.

I wonder what just two bottles of elixir are worth? Could it be an eighth-level or ninth-level elixir that helps break through the bottleneck?

Out of curiosity, he opened the bottle and examined it. When he recognized the elixir, his breathing became rapid.

"It's Falling Dust Pill and Haoyuan Pill! And with this level, could it be..."
