Chang Ming raised his hand and chopped down. A group of men in black quickly ran out and surrounded Zhou Mu and the others.
The enemy's average cultivation level was no less than the late foundation building stage, and the black market owner's strength was even more unfathomable. Zhou Mu's heart was completely chilled. At this moment, he finally understood that he and his group had already fallen into the trap of the black market owner, who was just waiting for them to fall into it!
The outcome of the battle speaks for itself.
Zhou Mu suffered a crushing defeat!
Except for Zhou Mu, who was in the Jindan stage, the rest of the people were dead or injured, lying on the ground.
The people on the black market, however, seemed to have not had enough fun yet. They were still eager to fight and were full of energy, eager to have another round.
"These Zhou family members are too weak to fight. I haven't even used my full strength yet."
"Exactly. I originally thought I'd use these people as a practice run after my breakthrough, but the result is truly disappointing."
"Haha, it's because the pills and talismans Miss Zhao gave us are so useful!"
Before this battle, Changming was not very confident. Even if he could defeat the Zhou family, his side might suffer heavy losses.
However, after agreeing on the cooperation with Zhao Xiaoxian in the morning, she provided them with a large number of elixirs, some of which could help people advance, some could help them break through bottlenecks, some could help them heal injuries... There were all kinds of elixirs, all of which were rare on the market, and the effects were amazing.
The effect of the pills is many times better than those made by the alchemists worshipped by the aristocratic families!
Many people broke through on the spot.
He himself was promoted directly from the Golden Core Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage after taking a Barrier Breaking Pill!
Nascent Soul Stage. In the spiritual world, the number of people who can reach this level can be counted on one hand, and they are all ancestors of noble families or sects.
And he has reached this level at the age of less than a hundred years old. If this were to be spread out, it would probably cause a shock to the entire spiritual world.
Thinking of this, Changming was particularly glad to have met Zhao Xiaoxian, and at the same time he was full of gratitude towards her.
Of course, this gratitude was not just expressed with words, he also proved it with actions.
The value of what Zhao Xiaoxian gave was immeasurable, and even he couldn't afford to pay for it, so he directly gave half of the black market to her, and from then on she would be the second in command of the black market.
"From now on, Xiaoxian's words are equivalent to my orders. You must not disobey. Remember?" Chang Ming brought Xue Huan in front of his subordinates and announced in public.
The crowd was not dissatisfied, on the contrary they welcomed Xue Huan's joining!
What they thought in their hearts was that Master Zhao could make pills, draw talismans, and refine weapons. There was nothing she couldn't do. If someone like this joined the black market, they would make a profit!
What's more, they all received her favor. It was the elixirs she gave them that improved the cultivation of each of them to some extent!
If I follow a boss like this, why would I worry about not being able to advance? No cultivation resources? No skills? No growth of the black market?
Maybe the black market will become the largest force in the entire spiritual world in the future!
With such ambitions, everyone welcomed Xue Huan.
Just like that, Xue Huan came out to participate in an auction and became the second-in-command of the black market, with power equal to that of the founder Chang Ming.

"What?! Kang'er was captured by the black market? Zhou Mu and his men were completely wiped out?"
The head of the Zhou family, Zhou Guang, Zhou Lekang's father, was shocked and angry when he received the news.
The master behind the black market could never have reached the Nascent Soul stage, otherwise why would he be hiding? Even if he had recruited a group of cultivators, they would surely be casual cultivators of average talent, as the talented ones had long been monopolized by the nine major factions.
Those independent cultivators have no skills and no resources, so their cultivation level is definitely not that high.
He has reached the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Therefore, when he sent Zhou Mu, who was at the seventh level of the Golden Core, he was confident that the operation would be foolproof. Zhou Mu, who was at the seventh level of the Golden Core, would definitely not be at a disadvantage against the owner of the black market. The subordinates he assigned to him were also quite strong, and it would be a waste of their talents to deal with the mob in the black market.
However, the reality was completely different from what she expected!
Zhou Mu was defeated! He was even captured alive! None of the Zhou family elites he brought with him returned. It's unknown whether they were also captured or dead.
What worries him most is that his son Le Kang has also fallen into the hands of the black market!
It is difficult for monks to have children, and he did not have many children in his life. Although he took many concubines, he only had one son and one daughter in total. His son was Zhou Lekang.
The only single seedling.
What if something happens to him... Thinking of this, Zhou Guang's body swayed and he became a little unsteady.
The higher the cultivator's cultivation level, the lower the chance of conceiving offspring. He was unable to give birth to many children during the Qi Refining Stage and the Foundation Establishment Stage. Now that he is in the Golden Core Stage, it is even more impossible for him to have a son.
Therefore, nothing must happen to his only son!
Otherwise, he will raze the black market to the ground!
Zhou Guang came to Narcissus Pavilion in person, "I want to see your master."
Qing Yuan, who was in charge of reception, replied, "Sorry, the host is busy and can't come out to see guests for the time being."
Zhou Guang slammed his hand on the table, shattering it into pieces. "Hmph, your master is so arrogant! I came here in person, and he actually avoided me? I have to see him today!"
The pressure from the ninth level of the Golden Core Stage crashed down towards Qing Yuan like a mountain.
Qing Yuan's knees hit the ground. She groaned in pain and tried her best to straighten her back, but the pressure kept increasing, forcing her shoulders to bend down little by little, and the sound of bones dislocating and cracking could be heard.
"Master Zhou is so arrogant! You come to my territory to bully my people?" The voice was approaching before the person arrived. At the same time, an even more powerful pressure came towards Zhou Guang like a tidal wave, stronger and more ferocious.
Zhou Guang knelt down immediately.
He looked horrified, "Nascent Soul?!"
He has already reached the ninth level of the Golden Core stage. Who else but someone in the Nascent Soul stage could suppress him so that he has no power to fight back?
Even though there is only one level difference between the Golden Core and the Nascent Soul, the gap of this level is like a chasm in the sky!
There is a hurdle between the Golden Elixir and the Nascent Soul. If you cross it, you will have a qualitative leap. If you can't, you will just die of old age at the Golden Elixir stage.
The difference between Yuanying and Jindan is like the difference between Jindan and foundation building. The difference is overwhelming!
Even if ten Jindan came, they might not be able to defeat one Yuanying.
To raise a Nascent Soul, the resources required are enormous, and the Zhou family only has one Nascent Soul ancestor.
Zhou Guang never expected that the owner of the black market was actually a Yuanying!
No wonder the black market was able to grow and prosper right under the Zhou family's noses, and no wonder the Zhou family members never returned...
But how come he had never heard of this person?
Zhou Guang no longer had time to think about this problem, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.
