Chapter 85 My Head Is Worth a Lot of Money (1/2)

There are two rows of strong men guarding the entrance of the black market, and next to the strong men there are two rows of braziers in the air supported by tripods.

The strong man in the lead, under the light of the brazier, has faint Qi and blood.

This is to warn others that he is a warrior in the blood exchange realm.

Everyone who enters the black market must verify their capital. If they take out a hundred taels of silver notes, or something worth a hundred taels of silver notes, they can go in directly. There is no admission fee here, but your admission qualification will be verified.

Eliminate some of the small fish who are just strolling around but have no money to buy things.

Of course, there is another way to go in directly, just show the strength of the blood exchange realm.

In the process of queuing for capital verification, Li Yan has seen more than once that people have Qi and blood all over their bodies. They don't need to queue up at all and go in directly, and everyone dares not complain.

Of course, occasionally there are one or two people who want to sneak in to see the world, but they are all stopped by the guards and thrown seven or eight meters away.

If someone has some cultivation, at most he would fall flat on his face, his blood and qi would be shaken for a while, and then he would be fine after calming down.

If he is just an ordinary person, he would probably fall to death in an instant.

Fortunately, all the people Li Yan saw today had some cultivation. After getting up, they supported each other and walked away.

Finally it was Li Yan's turn. Li Yan took out two fifty-liang silver notes and handed them to the guard.

The guard checked them and found no problems, so he returned them to Li Yan.

Li Yan passed the capital verification and entered the black market.

Unlike the bustle Li Yan imagined, the people here are very quiet. The stall owners don't shout, and the buyers don't bargain.

Everyone's head and body are wrapped tightly, and they don't easily reveal their identities.

If you like something, you can ask the price directly. If you think the price is not suitable, you can leave.

Because the stall owner will not lower the price for you, Li Yan has seen several novices who want to bargain along the way, but all of them were turned away. The stall owner saw that you wanted to negotiate the price and ignored you directly.

Some people with bad tempers, who had never been so angry, wanted to fight, and then attracted the patrol guards of the black market.

The final result is that the person either buys what he wanted to buy before, or enters the black market blacklist and never comes to the black market again.

In the end, the man pinched his nose and bought the thing. The stall owner showed a mocking expression on his face, which almost made him lose his mind and fight with the stall owner again.

"How do you sell this?"

Li Yan looked at a bag of red powder on the stall with interest. Isn't this the secret medicine [Blood Killing Refining Powder] of [Blood Killing Martial Arts Hall]? It's really worthy of being a black market. They dare to sell this thing so openly.

It's worthy of having the background of the city lord Jin family behind it.

"Sixty taels."

Hearing the price, Li Yan turned around and left. It was three times more expensive than the [Blood Killing Martial Arts Hall]. Even if he had more money, he couldn't buy a few packs.

"It seems that I still have to sneak into the [Blood Killing Martial Arts Hall]. The price of [Blood Killing Refining Powder] there is completely affordable for me."

Li Yan was calculating in his heart.

Afterwards, Li Yan stopped at several places for a while and asked about the prices of the things he was interested in.

Then, Li Yan came to a conclusion that the things on the black market are at least 30% more expensive than those outside.

However, the things here are indeed rare outside. There are elixirs that can refine qi and blood, weapons that are five hundred forged, and a first-class martial arts - [Great Compassion Palm].

The martial arts area has the most people around, but people are just watching and watching the excitement. No one goes to buy.

Even if there is a [Black Market Certification] sign on the stall, no one comes forward to buy.

Li Yan looked at the price of the martial arts - three thousand taels of silver.

How to say it, it is even cheaper than the first-class martial arts of the outer sect, but the safety is not guaranteed. Unless there are special circumstances, no one will buy martial arts secrets on the black market.

Li Yan just passed by and took a look and left. He was not here to watch the fun.

After a while, Li Yan came to a shop.

There are very few shops in the black market. Most of them are opened by the black market itself to purchase and sell some things.

Of course, there are also shops for issuing bounty tasks. After all, there are many masters in the black market.

For martial artists, silver is always in short supply, it’s just a matter of how much it is.

If it’s convenient, they don’t mind taking one or two tasks, making some extra money, and making their martial arts go further.

There are even bounty hunters who specialize in various bounty tasks.

Li Yan glanced at the shop in front of him. The plaque on the shop reads [Bounty Shop].

“This is it.”

It’s much more lively here than other places, and people keep coming in and out.

Entering the [Bounty Shop], there are five reception counters, all of which are closed.

Among them, two counters had [Reward] hanging outside the door, and the other three counters had [Reward] hanging outside the door.

The three [Reward] counters were occupied, and Li Yan chose the one with fewer people to queue up.

There was only one person in front of him.

Suddenly, the closed counter in front opened a small hole, and a voice that was obviously a female voice came out: "Next."

The person in front of Li Yan heard it, grabbed a handle on the counter and pulled it, and the person went in.

"Where is the person in front?"

Li Yan was a little surprised, and then he figured it out.

"This [Bounty Shop] is good, there are other secret passages for people who complete the task to leave secretly, obviously to protect bounty hunters from being remembered and followed."

Suddenly, Li Yan developed a favorable impression of the [Bounty Shop].

No one likes trouble, especially Li Yan.

"Next."

It was Li Yan's turn. Li Yan followed the previous person and opened a door and walked in.

And the previous person did not come out, just as Li Yan guessed.

"What task do you want to hand in?"

The speaker was a woman covered with black veil, and the woman asked in a cold tone.

"I don't know what task it is, I only know that there is this task in the black market, and the bounty is for the head of the person who cuts off the flow."

As Li Yan said, she opened the package in her hand, and a bloody head appeared in front of the woman.

Obviously, she was used to such scenes, and she was not panicked like an ordinary woman, but very calm, and even picked up the head carefully.

Then, she picked up the clean rag on the table and carefully wiped the blood on the face of the head.

Although the head was brought by Li Yan, seeing such a weird scene in this dim and narrow space still made Li Yan feel a little uncomfortable.

"Sure enough, those who can work in the black market are not simple."

Li Yan thought to himself.

After wiping the clean head, the woman looked for something from a pile of portraits.

In less than a breath, she found what she wanted.

window._taboola = window._taboola || ; _taboola.push({ mode: 'thumbs-feed-01', container: 'taboola-below-article-thumbnail---300x250', placement: 'Below article thumbnail - 300x250', target_type: 'mix' });

It was a portrait of a broken stream. Li Yan looked at it carefully for a few times and found that it was 90% similar.

"This painter is also awesome. He can draw so similar with a brush."

At this moment, Li Yan remembered his brush calligraphy.

"It is indeed very similar, but we still need to confirm it. Please stay here for a while."

The woman's voice was finally no longer cold at this time, but had a slight fluctuation.

After all, if this is really a head of a dead person, it is worth 2,700 taels of silver.

Even for women, it is rare to see someone get such a bounty.

And why is it 2,700 taels instead of 3,000 taels? Doesn't the [Bounty Shop] want a commission?

Only one tenth of the commission, very conscientious, okay.

"Please hurry."

Li Yan said in a hoarse voice.

Then, the woman did not leave here, but took out a piece of paper from the table, wrote something with a brush, then rolled it up, opened a secret compartment behind her, and stuffed the paper in.

After that, it was a very quiet wait.

Li Yan didn't know what to say, and the woman was studying the head of the dead person.

"A dead head, what's so good about studying."

While Li Yan was complaining in his heart, he was also a little worried.

"Will you find that there is something wrong with this head?"

Obviously, his worry was unnecessary. If you want to see whether this head is real or fake, you have to split the whole head to identify it.

Otherwise, if you only look at the appearance, you won't be able to find out the specialness of this head.

After about a cup of tea, when Li Yan was getting impatient, a regular sound sounded.

The message came back.

This time it was a secret compartment in another place. The woman took the note, looked at it under the light, and put it away.

"Hello, after confirmation, this is indeed the head of Duan Liu. This is your reward."

As she spoke, the woman took out a box from the corner, opened the box, and it was full of fifty taels of silver notes.

Li Yan's eyes lit up, but he didn't do anything irrational.

"This is your reward this time, please count it."

The woman counted three times and handed a stack of silver notes to Li Yan.

Li Yan also counted three times before nodding and saying, "Not a bad amount."

"Welcome to come again next time."

After seeing Li Yan confirm that it was correct, the woman said this in a formulaic way.

Then, she looked at Li Yan.

Li Yan didn't understand and looked at the woman.

After the two looked at each other for a while, Li Yan finally spoke first: "Hey, how do I get out?"

"There is a hint over there, you can take a look."

Li Yan turned his head quickly after hearing this, and there was indeed a note there: "Please push this door open and leave."

Li Yan smiled awkwardly, and pushed the wooden board that looked like a wall according to what was written on the note, and it was pushed open easily.

Behind was an artificial tunnel more than two meters high.

Going straight along, it didn't take long to reach the end.

A staircase was placed there, obviously for people to climb up.

Li Yan climbed up, pushed away the covering on it, and the moonlight shone on his face.

After going out, there were two people outside, wearing the clothes of black market guards, who were completely unmoved by Li Yan's appearance.

Just said one sentence: "Please leave this place as soon as possible."

Li Yan was a very obedient person, and he left this place without staying here for a while.

After walking a short distance, Li Yan found that this place was still in the night market, but in a more remote place in the night market.

"Go back first and come back for a walk later."

Li Yan thought so and did the same thing, walking straight out of the night market.

After leaving the night market, Li Yan unfolded his movements and suddenly no one was around.

"Damn, brother, that kid is so fast, I can't catch him at all."

"Pa", a slap hit the little brother's head.

"You don't have any sharp eyesight at all. This person is a master at first glance. Do you want to die after chasing him?"

"Remember, we only rob those who look like weaklings. Masters like this can't even touch them."

"Okay, I remember big brother."

The younger brother replied a little aggrievedly.

Then, his eyes lit up, he pointed at a person walking alone in the distance, and said to the boss: "Brother, look at that kid as if he has a guilty conscience. He looks around and sees that he is a newcomer. Should you go up and deal with him?"

The boss observed it for a while and then made up his mind and said: "Handle him so carefully, you must have bought something good."

After a cup of tea, the younger brother asked for credit and said, "Brother, there are a lot of banknotes."

However, the eldest brother was really staring at a sign with a gold letter written on it.

"No, it's the Jin family, leave quickly."

Before he finished speaking, two heads fell down.

A middle-aged man fell from the air.

"They robbed my Jin family's things and wanted to run away."

"Master, are you okay?"

The middle-aged man quickly helped up the young boy who was lying on the ground with a bruised nose and swollen face.

In fact, he had arrived a long time ago, but in order to let the young man in his hands realize that the world is dangerous, he did not stop the two people's behavior.

"I'm fine."

The young master of the Jin family had a low voice. Obviously, such an accident made his originally excited mood turn very bad.

"Let's go. Don't tell my father what happened today."

"Don't worry, young master, I will never tell you this."

The two figures gradually disappeared into the night.

And Duanliu's head was also sent to the [Thunder Martial Arts School] under the urgent urgency of the black market.
