Chapter 7 Black Market
Chapter 7 Black Market
“As I expected, demon flesh and blood is a great tonic for me, as it can quickly gain attribute points." Su Heng put down his chopsticks and frowned in thought, "Using a small piece of demon flesh and blood, combined with a large amount of ordinary ingredients, can Maximize its effect.”
“However, even so, the changes will not be too big……”
“The amount of flesh and blood of this demon is really too small, and it can only last for one day at most. However, this does provide me with an idea. Maybe I can try to purchase some weirder ingredients, but what should I do specifically? To make an acquisition through such channels, you need to inquire from many parties..”
……
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
In the early morning of this day, Su Heng left the mansion and was stopped when he was about to go out..
This is a young man with a warm smile. He is wearing a brocade robe and hanging on his waist is a Chilong jade pendant that is worth a lot. It is clearly early spring and the weather is still getting colder, but this guy is pretending to be holding a handful in his hand. Folding fan looks a bit silly.
This person's name is Xu De.
In Changqing County, there are four big families: Su, Xu, Xue and He..
These four major families are in charge of different businesses. For example, the Su family runs cloth and trading companies, the Xu family controls the salt business, the He family is in charge of medicinal materials, and the Xue family is the landowner with the most land in Changqing County, controlling food.
In the past, the Xue family was the most powerful.
But in recent years, due to some knowledge that Su Heng brought from his previous life, the Su family's business has developed very well, and its goods can even be sold to other counties. It has shown a faint trend of competing with the Xue family..
The core industries of the four major families are different, and there is no particularly fierce competition between them..
It’s not clear what the heads of these families think of Su Heng in private, but on the surface the relationship between them is still quite good. There are always friendly exchanges during the holidays. Moreover, there are many in-laws between families. , there is me in you, you are in me.
The residence of the Xu family and the residence of the Su family are not far apart. Su Heng and Xu De are almost as old as each other. They grew up together, so they naturally have a good relationship..
“I have already helped you with the things you asked me to do." Xu De said to Su Heng excitedly..
“oh? "Su Heng raised his eyebrows, with an expression of listening attentively, "You have the secret book of the exercises I want in your hand.？”
“That's not the case. The legendary secrets of martial arts are too mysterious. Is it really possible to fly to the sky, escape from the earth, and live forever as described in the novel? "Xu De blinked..
Su Heng practices martial arts, he naturally knows.
I thought it was just for fun, so I bet with several other friends on how many days Su Heng could last..
Unexpectedly, this study lasted three months.
Moreover, the changes in his whole person are really obvious. He has become taller and stronger, and his eyes are also bright. This makes Xu Deye feel itchy and wants to practice martial arts. But unfortunately, the martial arts master who protects the hospital in his family He told him tactfully that he had no bones. Xu De was so disappointed that he had no choice but to give up..
“Don't waste my time." Su Heng urged..
Xu De is not a bad person and is quite enthusiastic, but he talks a lot, which sometimes makes Su Heng feel very annoyed..
“As the saying goes, it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. I have found a way for you. There are people selling real martial arts skills and some shady things." Xu De looked around mischievously. On the street There was no one else around, so he lowered his voice and spoke..
“What? "Su Heng saw his mysterious look and was a little curious..“Black market, have you heard of this thing? "Xu De said, "It started out as a temporary stall set up by a group of tomb robbers and smugglers. Later it attracted many low-life people and gradually evolved into a large market. There is everything in it, but of course there is no guarantee of authenticity. Fake, you can only rely on your own vision. Moreover, this place is an illegal zone and the government does not care. If you plan to go there, you must be careful and it is best to bring two more guards..”
“Black market..." Su Heng had heard of this place, but he didn't know exactly where it was and how to get in. "How to get to this place?.”
“First you have to have a token, then a special time and a special place.”
“How do I get the token？”
“You don’t need to get it.” Xu De chuckled, “I have it here, I’ll give it to you, brother, that’s interesting, right?.”
Xu De took out a black jade token from his arms, with simple stripes engraved on it. It was about the size of a playing card, and handed it to Su Heng..
“Then there is the time and place..." Xu De told Su Heng the key points one by one..
Su Heng stuffed the jade token into his arms, clasped his fists towards Xu De, and said seriously, "You helped me a lot this time, I owe you a favor.".”
“Hey, we two brothers also said that there is no need to be so serious." Xu De waved his hands and said nonchalantly, "If you have time, just invite me to have a meal in Mingyue Tower. Besides, this token is not Expensive, the key is the channels to obtain it. I also got the information from a nursing home in my family. It didn’t take much effort, so don’t pay too much attention to it..”
……
The black market Xu De was talking about was not in Changqing County, but in a dilapidated town about ten kilometers outside the city..
Coincidentally, the black market will open at midnight tonight (around 7 p.m.).
Ever since the water ghost attacked Su Shang, Su Heng had always had an indescribable sense of urgency in his heart. Therefore, after confirming that the news was true, this evening, he immediately set off to the black market with two guards..
The town is dilapidated and located in a ravine..
The sun has set over the mountain, and a hazy crescent moon hangs in the sky.
The surrounding environment is dim, and you can still vaguely hear the roars of wild beasts and strange squeaking sounds..
In my previous life, in a bustling metropolis, seven or eight o'clock was just the beginning of nightlife..
But in the ancient dynasty, everything was different. It was dark outside and nothing could be seen clearly. It was also the first time for Su Heng to go out of the city alone at night. However, his physique now far exceeded that of ordinary people. He walked boldly at the front alone, which was a foil. The two nurses behind him looked thin and very wary in this unfamiliar environment..
In the middle of the town where the black market is located is a dilapidated alleyway. Various goods are placed in dilapidated houses with lanterns hanging on both sides. There are also people sitting directly on both sides of the street, with a spread of oil paper in front of them, holding a dim lantern in their hands. , even a simple street stall.
The light of the lantern was dim, and it could only clearly illuminate the scattered goods on the floor, but it could not clearly see the faces of the people behind them..
