Chapter 57

"Where did these things come from?" Huang Fei was extremely surprised.

The white ape didn't answer, just randomly picked up a wild ginseng, threw it into his mouth, and ate a few mouthfuls.

bah bah.

It seemed to dislike the bad taste of the wild ginseng, so it spit it out after a few mouthfuls.

Concubine Huang felt distressed when she saw it. This little monkey is too wasteful. That wild ginseng is at least a hundred years old and worth a lot of money.

crunch——

At this moment, the door of Gu Chen's room opened suddenly, and he walked out from inside.

"Senior Chen." Concubine Huang was pleasantly surprised and called out hastily.

Gu Chen just nodded, looked at Bai Yuan, and frowned.

"Where do these things come from?"

He has been immersed in cultivation for the past few days, and has no time to care about the white ape.

Since entering Tanlang City, this monkey is like a runaway wild horse, disappearing from time to time.

"Squeak."

With erratic eyes, the white ape took out a golden fruit, took a few bites and remained silent.

"I don't care where you came from. It's best to send it back to others. I don't care about you if anything happens."

He shook his head angrily.

These things looked like they were stolen, but Bai Yuanye was used to it, so he didn't bother to reprimand it.

Anyway, this monkey is very smart and not bad in strength, so it won't be in much trouble.

"Miss Huang, what do you want to see me for?"

Gu Chen turned his head and asked Huang Fei. His spiritual sense sensed that Huang Fei had been wandering outside the house for a long time, so he came out to take a look.

"I……"

Concubine Huang's speech was a little sluggish, for some reason, she felt that Gu Chen today seemed to be more indifferent than before, exuding an aura of repelling others thousands of miles away.

"But Patriarch Huang left the customs?" Seeing that Concubine Huang didn't answer, Gu Chen guessed.

Patriarch Huang wanted the Jiuyin Stone in his hand, and Concubine Huang said that he would come to negotiate the price with him as soon as he left the customs.

As the owner of the heavenly overlord bone, Gu Chen has a great demand for pills.

Ordinary people would not be able to take too much medicine in a short period of time, but he didn't have this concern, even the impurities in the medicine could be easily eliminated through the Tianchen Vientiane Art, making his energy pure.

In the past few days, he practiced desperately. It turned out that his cultivation at the peak of the early stage of supernatural powers had finally broken through and entered the middle stage of supernatural powers, but the pills on hand were almost exhausted.

The later his cultivation, the harder it is to improve. To maintain rapid growth, he needs a lot of pill resources, so he is a little bit worried about Patriarch Huang.

He planned to sell all the Nine Yin Stones to him if the price he offered was right.

As for the fact that the Nine Yin Stones originally belonged to the White Ape, he didn't care at all. The monkey was too fresh and threw those stones in the corner of the room long ago without touching them.

"No, grandpa hasn't left customs yet."

Concubine Huang shook her head hastily, "According to the usual practice, Grandpa does not retreat for a short period of time each time, and it may take several months."

Once Huang Pingzhang retreated, no matter how big the matter was, he was not allowed to disturb her, so she didn't have time to talk about the Jiuyin Stone.

"Oh, what's that?" Gu Chen's interest suddenly faded a lot.

Concubine Huang pursed her lips, "That's how it is. Today there is a black market in the city. According to the usual practice, the heads of the three major factions in Tanlang City will attend. I have just become the head of the house, so I must go, but I am afraid that there will be some accidents. I hope Senior Chen can accompany me for a walk."

Gu Chen understood immediately and nodded. "it is good."

Naturally, taking money from the Huang family has to do things for others, and this is a legitimate request of Concubine Huang.

Seeing that Gu Chen agreed, Concubine Huang was overjoyed. "Then let's go now, it's getting late."

Gu Chen had no objection, changed his clothes and followed her out.

As for the white ape, he gnawed happily in the house with a pile of medicinal materials of unknown origin, and had no interest in going out with the two of them at all.

"White Whale Mansion belongs to the three-way zone, and it is also a critical throat, so the black market trade is particularly developed."

"Almost every city in the prefecture will have black market transactions, which are in the hands of different forces, and the profits they bring are very considerable every year."

On the carriage, Huang Fei told Gu Chen about the black market.

The three major characteristics of Moby Whale Mansion are chaos, black market, and refusal to accept.

The black market trade is too important in the White Whale Mansion, directly or indirectly supporting an unknown number of forces.

"Does the Huang family also undertake the black market?" Gu Chen asked curiously.

"No, the strength of the Huang family is not enough to hold a black market, even if the three major forces of Tanlang City unite, they don't have enough capacity."

Concubine Huang shook her head.

Black market trade requires not only a strong supply of goods, but also force.

This type of trade is inherently shady, and the participants are often vicious. Without strong force, it is impossible to guarantee the stability of the black market.

The Huang family is powerful in Tanlang City, but it's nothing to put it in the entire White Whale Mansion.

"The black market trade in our area is controlled by Yunyan Sect. They hold a black market in Tanlang City every month."

"The three major forces in the city all cooperate with the Yunyan Sect and sell goods through their channels, so they attach great importance to the black market."

Concubine Huang explained that the Huang family has opened a lot of medicine workshops and utensil markets, whether it is medicinal herbs or weapons, almost all of them are sold through Yunyanzong's channels, so naturally they are very concerned about the black market.

"Tell me about the other two major forces in the city, the Qian family and the Lan family, right?" Gu Chen asked.

The current situation in Tanlang City is not stable, and the three major forces compete fiercely. The Qian family and the Lan family have never stopped their ambitions to embezzle while the Huang family is in decline.

Now that Gu Chen is the enshrinement of the Huang family, it is naturally necessary to understand his potential enemies.

"Qian Fengbao, the Patriarch of the Qian Family, is a cultivator in the middle stage of supernatural powers. He is narrow-minded and has vicious methods. He started from scratch and is in his prime. The Qian Family is prospering under his hands. He is the biggest threat to my Huang Family."

Concubine Huang replied without hesitation, "As for the Lan family, they don't have any monks, but they have a good relationship with Yunyan Sect and manage well, so they have strong financial resources. There are two priests in their family, and they are said to be twins. It's annoying."

Gu Chen listened carefully and nodded.

It seems that the strength of these two families is indeed not weak. If the Huang family hadn't invited him as an enshrinement, the old Patriarch Huang died again, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, these two families are related to the Yunyan Sect, and the head of the other family is also a monk in the middle stage of supernatural powers. The Huang family was able to secure the throne of the number one power in Tanlang City before, which shows that the old Patriarch Huang's strength was amazing at his peak.

Gu Chen was born in the family of the city lord of Tiannan City, so he is no stranger to this kind of contest between family forces, and at this moment he already has his own judgment in his heart.

Speaking of which, the venue for the black market has arrived.

The venue is not in the city, but on the outskirts of Tanlang City.

The biggest feature of the black market is that it is not visible. Many people who have enemies or are wanted are unwilling to enter the city, so the venue for the meeting is often chosen to be in a hidden suburb.

Gu Chen, Huang Fei, and two guards, Liu Yi and Liu Er, came to an abandoned and desolate house together.
