The voice was sweet and alluring; it was definitely a woman's voice.
"Hmm? That voice sounds familiar!"
Zi Yue scoffed, "An acquaintance? Could it be some vixen?"
Lan Hua turned around and saw that it was Bai Yunyun, the one with whom she had signed a contract back in the Xuan Yu Realm.
Beside her stood a handsome man, Bai Tang, Bai Yunyun's father.
Bai Tang's cultivation has recovered and even advanced to the fourth level of the Dan Shen realm.
As for Bai Yunyun, her cultivation has also increased significantly, reaching the peak of the Danxia Realm, and she will soon be able to break through to the next realm.
Lan Hua smiled and said, "Miss Bai, it's you. What brings you here?"
Bai Yunyun was also taken aback, not expecting to encounter Lan Hua in the demon black market.
Lan Hua smiled and said, "Back in the Undying Mountain, I was very grateful for your help. I am very thankful that you were able to help me under those circumstances!"
A slight blush appeared on Bai Yunyun's face as she said, "Since I've made a pact with you, I naturally can't watch you die in vain!"
He then looked at Zi Yue and asked in surprise, "What is this...?"
Lan Hua smiled and said, "This is my master, Zi Yue!"
Zi Yue smiled slightly, revealing two small dimples at the corners of her mouth, making her extremely sweet and truly a celestial fairy.
Bai Yunyun exclaimed, "What a beautiful woman!"
Zi Yue replied, "Sister Bai is also very beautiful and charming!"
Lan Hua asked curiously, "Miss Bai, why did you stop my transaction with the seller just now?"
Bai Yunyun smiled without saying a word, but Bai Tang said, "This is not the heart of a black fox at all, but the heart of a nine-tailed fox!"
Lan Hua turned around abruptly, her expression changing drastically. She looked at the seller in black and snorted:
"I never expected that there would be counterfeit and shoddy goods in this demon black market. It's true that all crows are black!"
The seller in black's face darkened, and he glared venomously at Bai Yunyun and her father, snorting:
"Who are you two, daring to interfere in my transaction!"
Bai Tang snorted, "We two are from the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox lineage, so we naturally have an innate connection to the heart of the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox. We just can't stand cunning merchants like you!"
The seller in black was furious and about to explode when Bai Yunyun said:
"If you dare to turn against me, don't blame me for telling the demon guards here about your illegal behavior, and see how they punish you!"
Upon hearing this, the black-clad seller's previously furious and ugly face immediately changed, and he smiled obsequiously:
"No, young lady, please give me some face. This is just a small business, please be lenient!"
Bai Yunyun snorted, "I'll spare you, but tell me where I can buy a real Black Fox Heart?"
The seller in black laughed, "The shop at the very back of the third lane sells them, absolutely authentic!"
Lan Hua said sternly, "If it's false, you'll be in big trouble!"
After walking a distance, the group finally found the stall the seller in black had mentioned.
He was an ugly old man, but his eyes gleamed with a hidden sharpness, indicating that he was a powerful cultivator at the Refining Spirit Realm.
On the small table in front of him was a glass bottle containing a fleshy red heart.
Amazingly, the heart was still beating.
Lan Hua asked, "Miss Bai, is this heart the heart of the Black Fox?"
Bai Yunyun took a closer look, then closed her eyes and carefully felt it.
Finally, he nodded and said, "It is indeed the heart of a black fox, and it is quite old."
Bai Tang sighed softly, "Speaking of which, the Black Fox and my Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox clan have a deep connection. They are known as the Cursed Nine-Tailed Spirit Foxes."
This clan, no matter how hard they cultivate, can never break through to the Celestial Realm, and is therefore forever barred from the Heavenly Domain!
Lan Hua glanced at Zi Yue and asked curiously, "Why is that? Is it because of the curse?"
Bai Yunyun sighed, "That's right, it's a curse, a curse on the nine-tailed spirit fox!"
The ugly old man said, "You know quite a lot. That curse originated from a love affair, but alas, love eventually turned into a curse."
This curse caused a branch of the Nine-Tailed Fox to transform into the Black Fox clan—a truly lamentable situation!
Lan Hua asked, "Is this black fox heart two thousand years old?"
The ugly old man nodded slightly. "Exactly two thousand years!"
"If an ordinary black fox were to perish, its heart would surely lose all will to live."
Only the black fox, with over two thousand years of cultivation, retained its powerful and surging heart even after it left its body!
Zi Yue frowned slightly, looking at the beating heart, and felt a little nauseous.
Lan Hua asked, "What can I offer in exchange for the Black Fox Heart?"
"Boy, what do you have that could possibly catch my eye?" the ugly old man retorted.
Lan Hua smiled slightly, and with her right hand outstretched, eight rare spirit race items appeared on the old man's table.
The inner core of the Zhurong bird, the gall of the cloud dragon, the shell of the spirit tortoise, the heart of the white tiger, the seven-colored feathers, the sharp claws of the golden-winged roc, the nine tails, and the skull of the long-armed ape.
He did this simply because he didn't think the old man was the type to ask for exorbitant prices.
The moment the treasure appeared, Bai Tang and his daughter were stunned.
Although they were from the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan and were born with a sense of pride, they had never seen so many treasures of the Spirit Clan.
Especially those nine tails, those tails contain the essence of a Yuanxiang Realm expert.
The Nine-Tailed Fox clan dedicates their entire lives to cultivating their tails.
That tail is everything to the nine-tailed fox.
The two looked on with hope, almost drooling.
Zi Yue remained unmoved. As a celestial being, he had no interest in these things of the spirit race; on the contrary, he found them somewhat disgusting.
The ugly old man snorted, "What a grand gesture! Kid, aren't you afraid I'll ask for the whole thing?"
Lan Hua said nonchalantly, "Since I truly desire the Black Fox Heart, what harm is there in giving you all of these things?"
The ugly old man chuckled and shook his head, then picked up the Golden-Winged Roc's claws and said:
"I'll take these claws, and the Black Fox Heart is yours!"
"Don't you want the rest?" Lan Hua asked curiously.
The ugly old man shook his head. "That's enough. Please leave, everyone. I'm packing up now."
With a wave of her right hand, Lan Hua collected the glass bottle containing the Black Fox Heart, along with all the other treasures of the Spirit Clan, into her storage space.
After walking for a while, Lan Hua asked curiously, "Why did the old man only want the Golden-Winged Roc's claws?"
Zi Yue laughed and said, "That's because the old man's true form is an ugly crow."
The Golden-Winged Roc is a king of the heavens. Obtaining its sharp claws and refining them would greatly enhance his strength!
Bai Tang and his daughter glanced at Zi Yue and began to treat her differently.
"I see!"
Lan Hua then asked, "Miss Bai, what brings you to the Demon Black Market?"
Bai Yunyun said hesitantly, "I also want to exchange some things to help me break through to the Pill God Realm!"
Lan Hua said "Oh," and then asked, "Is that so? Do you think these nine tails will be of any use to you?"
If it's useful, I'll give it to you; I don't need it anyway!
Bai Yunyun was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "This is the tail of a nine-tailed fox at the Yuanxiang Realm! You just give it away like that!"
After speaking, Bai Yunyun looked at Ziyue.
Zi Yue smiled calmly, "I'll listen to Xiao Hua Zi, this thing really isn't very useful to us!"
"You can have the White Tiger Heart and skull as well!"
Bai Tang was also stunned.
Lan Hua quickly stuffed the three treasures into Bai Yunyun's hands and said with a smile:
What are your plans next?
