"I know, I know, Second Aunt, please don't cry." Shen Yuhe took out a handkerchief and wiped Zhu Yulan's tears. Her eyes turned red because of her emotional response.
It would have been fine if she didn't say anything, but as soon as she spoke, Zhu Yulan cried even harder.
"Second Aunt, please follow us for a day today. I'll give you this relic soul bead as a reward for your hard work." Mu Hanyan took out a relic soul bead and handed it to Zhu Yulan.
"Really? Really give it to me?" Zhu Yulan's eyes lit up, and without waiting for Mu Hanyan's answer, she snatched the relic soul bead from her hand.
Then I was so happy that I couldn't close my mouth, and my tears seemed to have closed in an instant, without a single drop.
Mu Hanyan and the others were all speechless. Second Aunt Shen Yuhe was a talented person, amazing! If it weren't for the tear marks on her face and a few tears on her chin, it would be hard to believe that the person who had just cried so hard was her.
"Haha, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Master Priest. Don't think I'm snobbish. I have no choice. It's not easy for me to take care of so many household chores. If it weren't for..." Zhu Yulan realized that she had gone too far and felt a little embarrassed. She began to explain in a rambling manner again.
Mu Hanyan and the others turned their heads away at the same time, not bothering to pay attention to her. Chen Yuhe was even more ashamed and felt so embarrassed that she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
…
Under Zhu Yulan's guidance, Mu Hanyan spent the entire morning visiting over a dozen chambers of commerce. Unfortunately, she only found two of the herbs she needed, and they weren't cheap, each worth over a million. It was said that the ones she didn't have were even more expensive. Mu Hanyan certainly couldn't afford such a large sum, but fortunately, there weren't many uses for these two herbs, so she could still buy them after selling her relic soul bead.
It was already noon when they walked out of the Chamber of Commerce. Mu Hanyan was once again glad that it was a wise decision to bring Zhu Yulan with her. If she hadn't been there, who knows how long she would have been fooled by those unscrupulous businessmen. It would probably take her two days to visit all the dozen or so chambers of commerce.
It seems that what Manager Ding said was right. Even if they searched all the chambers of commerce in Tianyang City, they would not be able to collect all the thirty or so medicinal herbs. After finding a place to have lunch, they asked Zhu Yulan to take them to the black market.
Tianyang City has five floors from the inside to the outside. The black market is located on the outermost floor. It is surrounded by a circle of dilapidated houses, and in the middle is a market. Most of the items sold are worthless herbs and gold. If Zhu Yulan had not led the way, Mu Hanyan would never have thought that this was where the black market was.
Two middle-aged men in casual clothes were squatting lazily at the entrance of the market to bask in the sun. They looked like ordinary people, but with Mu Hanyan's powerful spiritual sense, it was easy to feel the fluctuations of spiritual power on the two men. They were obviously guards of the black market, and not ordinary guards at that. Their priestly cultivation should be quite strong.
Zhu Yulan went over and talked in a low voice with the two of them. It seemed that they were acquaintances.
When dealing with those chambers of commerce before, Mu Hanyan discovered that although Zhu Yulan was a bit aggressive, she actually had a good network of contacts. Now that she saw that she had connections with people in the black market, she had a higher opinion of her.
"Let's go in. The head manager is here too. It's better to ask him for business like this, as it won't cause trouble." After a while, Zhu Yulan came over and spoke to Mu Hanyan in a low voice. Obviously, she was still worried that the news would leak out and bring trouble to Long Wucuo.
As she spoke, she took out a few masks and distributed them to everyone.
"Will this be useful?" Mu Hanyan looked at the pig head mask in her hand, feeling a little amused. How come this was like playing house?
Since it is a black market, it is inevitable that banned items will be sold, so it is naturally necessary to conceal one's identity. However, she really doesn't believe that such a mask can have much effect. It is still easy to find out if someone is determined to investigate.
"Of course it's useless, but there are some things that can be done privately but cannot be said openly. As long as your true face is not seen by others, no one can find out about it." Zhu Yulan explained.
"That's true." Mu Hanyan put on a mask. Everyone knew about the black market operation, but it was not good to be too blatant.
"Be careful when you see the chief shopkeeper later. I heard that he has a bad temper. Last time, a young master from the family of the chief priest of Qingning Temple didn't know his background and forced a sale on the black market. He was beaten by him and thrown out. He didn't even dare to fart afterwards." Zhu Yulan reminded as she walked in with a few Ox-Headed, Horse-Faced and Pig-Headed monsters.
"Yes, I understand." Mu Hanyan replied. Having heard about the background of the black market, she naturally would not cause trouble for herself.
As he was talking, a man wearing a rat mask sneaked past him.
"Hey, that person looks a little familiar." Shen Yuhe said in a low voice, looking at the man's back.
"It seems to be Long Wudang." Sikong Qinglan said.
"It's him." Mu Hanyan said affirmatively.
If it were someone else, they might not have recognized him so quickly, but this guy had been to the Flower Rain Temple several times, and everyone hated him so much that they easily recognized his back.
"Should we beat him up quietly?" Ling Baobao said eagerly.
After coming to the Continent of Gods, the violent factor in this guy seemed to be activated, and he wanted to do something ruthless at any time. Of course, it might be his nature, but he just didn't find the opportunity to show it in the Holy Court Continent before.
This is also because the cultivation methods of the Holy Court Continent and the Continent of Gods are different. In the Holy Court Continent, when cultivating Qi, even low-level priests can burst out with powerful attack power. Pure strength can't gain any advantage against swordsmen, unless they are born with amazing divine power or have magical tools like the Blood Shield of the Underworld God like Mu Hanyan, which can increase their absolute strength several times or even dozens of times.
The priests of the Continent of Gods cultivate spiritual power, and their speed in casting divine arts is slower than their sword skills. The lower their strength, the more obvious it is. This gives martial arts a place to be used. As long as the martial arts are sophisticated enough and the body is strong enough, one can compete with low-level priests with pure strength.
"Don't cause trouble." Mu Hanyan actually wanted to teach Long Wudang a lesson. He actually dared to let his elder brother take the lead. He still hadn't settled the score with him yesterday at the Tianyang Temple.
But thinking about Zhu Yulan's reminder, she didn't want to cause trouble in the black market.
"It's so hard to meet this kid, it would be a shame if I don't make him suffer a little." Ling Baobao said regretfully.
"Come out later and talk." Mu Hanyan stared at Long Wudang's disappearing back and said coldly.
Miss Mu never thought that she was a vindictive person. She just wanted to take revenge for a grievance. Well... it seemed to be similar to the idea of revenge.
