Chapter 330 Bottleneck lowered, opportunity to escape (4k2 words, please subscribe)
Five days passed by in a flash.
The day came when Wei Tu and Sun Chixin agreed to go to the black market in Xiantao City.
Wei Tu came to a residence in the west city of Xiantao City according to Sun Chixin's previous explanation.
He turned his palm and took out the white token, and poured several mana into it.
In a moment, a message came from the white token, pointing to a Buddhist temple not far away.
There are many Buddhist sects in Liaozhou, and Jinglian Temple is the well-deserved top power in Xiantao City. Therefore, in Xiantao City, there is almost a Buddhist temple every 100 steps.
There is nothing unusual about the Buddhist temple in Xiantao City or in Liaozhou.
“Buddhist temple?” After hesitating for a moment, Wei Tu did not enter rashly and continued to wait for Sun Chixin.
The black market is an underground transaction, and stranger faces are the most taboo.
Going to the black market area alone without an acquaintance to guide you can easily lead to trouble.
Phew!
At this time, there was a sound of breaking through the air outside the door of the residence, and a masked monk in a cloak flew in.
His body shape is similar to that of Sun Chixin.
“Follow me.” Sun Chixin’s words were simple. He walked into the depths of the residence and entered a spell into the white token on his hand.
The white token casts a ray of light and shines on the wall of the residence.
In an instant, the phantom formation on the wall of the residence was solved, revealing a hidden corner of the scenery.
It is probably the long corridor of a deep house.
“Not a Buddhist temple?”
Seeing this scene, Wei Tu was startled.
He thought the black market was in the Buddhist temple where the white token was detected. He never thought that it was in the residence where he was.
This time, he was also darkened by the lamp.
Wei Tu speculated that this might be a test for him by Sun Chixin or the person in charge of the black market to see if he was cautious and knew how to abide by the rules.
After all, the black market cannot see the light of day.
Once someone who behaves impetuously knows about it, there is inevitably a risk of it being leaked.
Waiting for a while.
The phantom formation is completely unlocked.
Weitu saw clearly the face of the mysterious black market.
This corridor is about several hundred meters long, and every ten steps there is an open-air stall selling various spiritual items, including elixirs, magic weapons, elixirs, exercises, etc.
But there are not many customers in the black market. According to Wei Tu, there are only less than a hundred people.
However, in terms of quality, the black market customers who come and go are quite good.
More than 90% are in the late stage of foundation building.
The rest of the monks are all golden elixirs, and there is no junior qi practitioner.
Obviously, the entry threshold for this black market is the late stage of foundation building.
“Fellow Daoist Fang, change into this set of clothes and then follow me in.”
Sun Chixin took out a black cloak of the same style as his and threw it to Wei Tu.
“Thank you very much, Mr. Chi.”
Wei Tu thanked him, and after a quick glance of his consciousness, he saw that the black cloak had no hidden hand, so he put it on his body.
The black cloak is made of a special material that can isolate the monk's spiritual consciousness, and it also comes with a small spell to hide the face.
Although this item cannot be compared with the "shadow cloak" carefully crafted by Demon Lord Gui Luo, it is enough for black market transactions.
“I said hello to Senior Xing, and I will be the guarantor of Fellow Daoist Fang for this black market transaction…”
Before entering the trading gallery, Sun Chixin reminded Wei Tu.
“Shopkeeper Chi, don’t worry, Fang will not miss your share of the introduction fee this time...Besides, I’m still temporarily living in the Lingfu courtyard of the Fu family. I can run away from the monks, but I can’t run away from the temple.”
Wei Tu smiled and replied.
When Sun Chixin heard this, he felt relieved and led Wei Tu into the black market.
There seemed to be some kind of formation barrier between the residence and the trading corridor. After Wei Tu and Sun Chixin entered, the monks in the corridor noticed the two of them.
Sun Chixin was used to it and ignored the gazes of others. He silently stepped forward to lead Wei Tu to a stall filled with elixirs.
At this time, Wei Tu handed Sun Chixin a list of the elixirs he needed, and then Sun Chixin was responsible for negotiating the price with the stall owner in front of him.
The price of elixirs is high and low, and they can be found in official elixir shops.
As long as the transaction price is lower than the market price, that is the profit for Weitu, the "merchant".
“Geng Yin Hua, Xiang Chong Ginseng…”
Sun Chixin was slightly startled. On the list of elixirs, he saw the names of several elixirs that were common in recent days.
These elixirs are not the latest hot sellers of Wansheng Trading Company, but they were found by the Fu family and may provide clues to Yi Yun.
—Six days ago, a foreign monk suspected to be named Yi inquired about the prices of these elixirs at Ye's elixir shop.
The appearance of this person named Yi, according to the guide Niu Cobalt, is the same as Yi Yun.
“Could it be that Fang Hanliang is Yi Yun?”
Sun Chixin’s eyes flickered.
The number of elixirs on the list of elixirs is messy, but these few elixirs are mixed in and are not outstanding. This alone does not prove that Wei Tu is Yi Yun who is wanted by the Fu family.
This is just a guess and an intuition on his part.
“But now I’m on a pirate ship, and I’m looking for customers from a private trading firm to trade elixirs in the black market... This is a taboo in the industry..."
Sun Chixin shook his head.
With interests involved, he and Wei Tu are now a grasshopper on the same rope.
Informing the Fu family about Wei Tu was also a disguised form of betraying himself and asking for his own death.
In addition to this, Yi Yun's military force was also something he was afraid of.
The person who can be rewarded with a hundred thousand spirit stones by the Fu family is most likely to be in the Golden Core realm, which is beyond the upper limit of what he can deal with.
And the gains from reporting were far from being comparable to the introduction fees Wei Tu gave him.
Of course, there is one more thing.
This is what Sun Chixin did not dare to say.
In addition to being involved in black market transactions, he is also not clean, and he is most afraid of attracting too much attention from the Fu family.
“Shopkeeper Chi, what’s wrong? But there’s something wrong with Fang’s list of elixirs?”
Wei Tu pretended to be suspicious.
In this transaction, apart from the fact that he needs to buy the elixir. Another purpose is to drag Sun Chixin, the owner of the Fu family pharmacy, into trouble.
In Xiantao City, he was unfamiliar with the place and was no different from a blind man. However, with the help of Sun Chixin, a senior member of the Fu family, it was a big difference.
Of course, Wei Tu would not be stupid enough to directly tell Sun Chixin his identity.
We are all smart people, and Sun Chixin can guess it with just a little hint.
However, if Sun Chixin had not guessed it, it would not affect his plan.
“No problem, no problem…”
Sun Chixin waved his hand, handed the list of elixirs to the stall owner, and negotiated the price with him.
Yi Yun purchased the elixir from Ye's elixir shop because he was the shopkeeper, so he knew a little bit about it, but it was difficult for outsiders to know.
Hence, Sun Chixin is not worried that the stall owner will find doubts in the list of elixirs.
…
A quarter of an hour.
Under the supervision of Wei Tu, Sun Chixin negotiated a price with the stall owner and sold this batch of third-level elixirs for a total price of 90,000 spirit stones.
Although the amount of spiritual stones is huge, it is not that conspicuous in the black market.
The amount of goods purchased on the black market generally ranges from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones.
Weitu’s transaction is only considered medium-sized.
“This is a magical medicine, please check it out, sir.”
The stall owner was quite generous and took out the corresponding elixir directly from the storage bag.
Wei Tu did not pretend to be generous. After taking the storage bag, he examined the elixirs one by one without any sign of impatience.
After the inspection, Wei Tu paid the stall owner 90,000 spiritual stones and the 10,000 introduction fee promised to Sun Chixin.
As for half the profit…
It is calculated based on the price difference between the market and the dark market. Finally, after calculation, Wei Tu purchased this batch of elixirs, excluding the introduction fee and half of the profit paid to Sun Chixin...
If he sells it at the market price, the profit he makes is not much, less than 5,000 spiritual stones.
But this is the first transaction.
For subsequent transactions, there is no need to pay Sun Chixin the corresponding introduction fee.
Furthermore, the quantity purchased on the black market is much larger than the quantity purchased on the market.
In black market transactions, Wei Tu values anonymous transactions more than buying low and selling high.
…
After trading the elixir.
Wei Tu did not stay in the black market for long and left the black market with Sun Chixin.
Liaozhou, the only things that could attract him were the body-refining elixir and the body-refining secret medicine.
Having been paying attention to these things, it is inevitable that Sun Chixin will guess his roots.
The cultivation level of the Golden Core Realm can be exposed.
But Wei Tu didn’t want to expose his body-refining skills. This is one of his trump cards.
“Shopkeeper Chi, the Fu family is offering a bounty of 100,000 spirit stones for capturing Yi Yun. Fang is also very concerned about this high reward..."
"If there is any timely news, please let the shopkeeper Chi inform Fang Yier or Er."
When leaving, Wei Tu nodded to Sun Chi and wrote a few words.
The implication is - if the Fu family makes any move to arrest Yi Yun, Sun Chixin must inform him as soon as possible.
“Next time in the black market transaction, Fang will still find shopkeeper Chi as the middleman.”
Wei Tu will make further profits.
A big stick in one hand and sweet dates in the other.
Sun Chixin had nothing to hesitate about. He immediately expressed his willingness to help Wei Tu inquire about the Fu family's movements.
…
Return to the Lingfu Courtyard of the Fu family.
Inside the cave.
Weitu took out the elixir furnace and the corresponding elixir, and prepared to open the furnace to refine the golden marrow elixir.
After this black market transaction, plus the remaining elixirs purchased from Situ You, he finally collected a complete set of golden marrow elixirs.
Now, with the threat from Jinglian Temple and the Fu family imminent, Wei Tu must of course find ways to improve his own strength.
There is no need to rush in the realm of refining qi.
But the realm of body refining is different. Before he switched to "The Immortal Origin Sutra of Casting the Way", his realm of body refining almost fell to the mid-level of the third level. He only managed to maintain the state by eating a golden marrow pill.
In other words, there is still a certain shortcoming in his body refining origin.
To make up for these shortcomings, he also improved his own strength in disguise.
As for these deficiencies, you only need to take body refining pills to replenish the source. There is no need to understand the skills and break through the physical level.
Seven days later.
The golden marrow elixir is divided into three pills.
Different from last time, Wei Tu did not perform beyond his level this time and only made alchemy at a normal level.
More than ten years have passed, and his level of alchemy has naturally improved.
Looking at the longan-sized, golden pills in his hand, Wei Tu took out one, raised his head, took it into his stomach, and began to refine it.
In an instant, Wei Tu's body shape changed. Muscles were piled up in layers, and his whole body was shining with a pale white light like jade.
Click!
A slight bone sound was heard.
Wei Tu's height also increased from about eight feet to a tall man of about ten feet.
“Unexpectedly, after swallowing this golden marrow pill, my cultivation level has been improved to the third level of mid-level achievement.”
A few days later, Wei Tu's face was filled with joy. He gently clenched his fists, feeling the power in his body that could shake mountains.
You must know that at this time, it was only less than twenty years since he broke through to the middle stage of the third level of body refining.
Twenty years to break through a small realm, which is considered a rapid progress among body refiners.
"It should be because I switched to the "Chu Dao Immortal Source Sutra". This body-refining technique made it easier for me to break through the body-refining realm."
Wei Tu thought secretly.
Good high-level skills have a certain probability of reducing the bottleneck of monks when they break through the realm.
"The True Demonic Skill" is only a third-level skill, and its potential has been exhausted at the third level of body training, so it is not easy for him to break through in cultivation.
Never stop doing one thing or two things.
Wei Tu swallowed the remaining two golden marrow pills and slowly refined them.
Like King Kong, Wei Tu had already swallowed two Golden Marrow Pills before. If he swallowed these two Golden Marrow Pills again at this time, his physical improvement would be limited and the price-performance ratio would not be high.
However, as an alchemist, Wei Tu does not need to worry about cost-effectiveness after swallowing the Golden Marrow Pill.
After all, he is the manufacturer.
As long as he does not adhere to the principle of losing money if he does not sell it, he will not lose any spiritual stones if he swallows the Golden Marrow Pill.
A few days later.
Weitu's body-refining realm has improved again, and he is only one step away from the peak of the middle stage of the third level.
“At this time, although my combat power is not as good as that of Hushan and Qi Chengchu, who are the only peak golden elixirs, it is not bad compared with the former Jia Tianlong.”
Wei Tu Xin Dao.
They are both at the pinnacle of the Golden Core, but there is also a difference in combat power.
For example, Bai Zhi can still kill Jia Tianlong by force even when he is seriously injured.
—Jia Tianlong, an ordinary golden elixir that relies on time accumulation to reach the peak of the golden elixir, is often the weakest level at the peak of the golden elixir.
However, even the weakest level of the golden elixir peak is still difficult to defeat many golden elixirs.
You must know that people such as Bai Zhi, Qi Chengchu, Hu Shan, Ning Yan, and Wan Hai Zhenjun are often the leaders of the Jindan level in a large force, and there are not many of them.
Almost among the top three characters in the Nascent Soul Realm.
If other monks knew that Wei Tu was so confident that he was on par with the peak of the Golden Core, they would probably laugh out loud immediately.
The gap between the middle stage of the Golden Core and the late stage of the Golden Core is like a natural chasm. Unless the top genius of a big power, it is difficult for anyone to achieve this level.
…
After consolidating his cultivation for a few days, Wei Tu broke through the barrier.
“I wonder if Jinglian Temple has removed the Jindan monks who were keeping watch outside Xiantao City.”
Wei Tu was dissatisfied.
This time, what he gained in Xiantao City was enough for him to use for a period of time, and there was no need to stay in Xiantao City for a long time.
“Ask Sun Chixin.”
Weitu pondered for a moment, then flew to Wansheng Trading Company to find Sun Chixin and inquire about the news.
“Nowadays, if foreign monks want to leave Xiantao City, they must be inspected by the eldest son of the Fu family, otherwise they are prohibited from going out.”
Sun Chixin provided information.
Speaking of this, Sun Chixin secretly glanced outside, and when he saw no one, he lowered his voice and said: "Fu Dalu has eliminated many monks in the past half month, and now he is targeting fellow Taoist Fang." Including several monks who have not yet been examined..."
“If it weren’t for the fact that Fellow Daoist Fang was renting the Fu family’s cave, the Fu family would not have broken the rules, otherwise the Fu family would have started to inspect it.”
"Oh? What happened to the monks who checked them?" Wei Tu's heart moved.
The only thing he has in common with "Yi Yun" at this time is that they are in the same realm as the Golden Core Realm.
Furthermore, he was not the only one to fly down from the clouds and boats.
“Of course I let it go.”
Sun Chixin shook his head, "No matter how bold the Fu family is, they would not dare to indiscriminately kill or ban Jindan Zhenjun. After all, the Fu family is also one of the righteous forces."
Hear this.
Wei Tu was immediately relieved.
With the power of the Fu family and Jinglian'an, they are unable to conduct a cross-border investigation into the connection between his true identity and the false identity of "Yi Yun".
In other words, even if his true identity is revealed at this moment, he is not afraid of being hunted down by the Fu family.
