Qingyun City is worthy of being a big city, and it is extremely popular. No matter what season or time, the streets are always crowded with people, and you can even occasionally see some people of other races.
Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao were clearly here to buy things, but as if they had a tacit understanding, they did not go to the designated stalls, but instead ran around in front of various stalls.
After both of them were tired of playing, Chu Lingxiao took Gu Qingze to a nearby herbal medicine store, swiped the card he gave him, and spent more than 2,300 Qingyun coins to buy the herbs he needed.
These are all low-level medicinal herbs, and they can be bought in a herbal medicine store as long as you spend some money, so Chu Lingxiao is not in a hurry. He wants to stay with Gu Qingze for a while longer.
Gu Qingze knew that Chu Lingxiao was so smart that he would definitely arrange his time reasonably. He was not in a hurry, which meant he had plenty of time. Since he wanted to play now, Gu Qingze joined him.
"Ling Xiao, have you bought everything?"
Chu Lingxiao swallowed his breath and spoke as if he had made up his mind.
"I'm still missing one. I need to go to the black market to buy it."
“Do we have to go to the black market?”
"That's right."
Chu Lingxiao was walking around the stalls not just for fun, but also to check whether the last thing he needed was available on the market. Obviously, there was no such thing, so he had to go to the black market.
He decided to go and made preparations for a long time.
The black market gradually formed in Qingyun City as the influx of foreigners increased. It was a place where items not allowed on the market were traded, or where transactions were conducted secretly at prices higher than the open market price.
There are huge security risks in the black market, and there are many desperate criminals. The two of them are too weak, and they may encounter danger if they go to the black market.
"Can you tell me what that last thing you needed was? Maybe I can find a way to get it."
"The blood of Klinkodomon."
"...Then let's go to the black market."
Most of the Gu family's connections are in the spiritual weapon industry, and they don't really have any alchemists. Besides, he has never heard of this Klinkodo beast. No need to guess, everyone knows it is a rare spiritual beast.
If he really had to get it, it was not impossible, it would just take some time. However, Chu Lingxiao needed this thing urgently, and it would not arrive even if it was expedited tomorrow.
Just as Gu Qingze was about to pull Chu Lingxiao in, Chu Lingxiao grabbed one of his arms.
"I'll go in by myself. I don't want you to... take risks with me."
"What are you talking about? Your business is my business, and I don't feel comfortable letting you go in alone. Even if I can't protect you, I won't abandon you."
Gu Qingze was sincere. He remembered that in the original novel, the male protagonist went to the black market and was seriously injured. He knew that with his current level of cultivation, going there might not help. But when he knew he would be injured, he couldn't just stand by and do nothing.
His purpose of approaching Chu Lingxiao was no longer just to eliminate the male protagonist's hatred for him as at the beginning, so as to prevent himself from having a tragic ending like the villain in the original novel.
The more he understood Chu Lingxiao, the more he couldn't help but care about him.
He felt that he and Chu Lingxiao had established a deep friendship.
Chu Lingxiao probably regarded him as a good friend, so he couldn't bear to let him take risks with him.
Gu Qingze suddenly took Chu Lingxiao's hand and held it tightly.
"Don't try to get rid of me and solve the problem yourself when you encounter a problem."
"Let's face this together, okay?"
Chu Lingxiao seemed very surprised that he would hold his hand. He was stunned for a moment before nodding.
"Okay, let's face it together."
