"Welcome, esteemed guests, to the dark world. I am the host of this black market—Oni!"
A person walked out from the stage, but this time the ghost's attire was not as mysterious as before. Instead, he revealed his true appearance: a young man with a pale face and a frail demeanor that made it impossible to associate him with a ghost.
The Gathering of Heaven and Earth is completely isolated from the outside world. Even the black market network cannot see this place because the auctions here are for famous treasures. Whether stolen or robbed, as long as you can get your hands on them, the black market doesn't care what means are used. This is the ideal place for all those who walk in the shadows to sell their stolen goods.
"This ghost has the cultivation of a supreme god!" Jiang Yuan's perception greatly improved after merging five hundred insights. Although he did not yet have the Divine Eye of Heaven, it was still a hundred times stronger than before.
“That’s normal. Every ghost in the black market is at the Supreme God Realm, otherwise how could they keep the place in check!” Liu Zhaodi transmitted her voice.
“Every single ghost? You mean, there are many people in the black market who use ‘ghost’ in their name!” Jiang Yuan asked in surprise.
Liu Zhaodi nodded and replied, "That's right. Every time the black market is hosted, the host is named after a ghost. But after so many black markets, many people have discovered that there are actually five ghosts who take turns hosting the black market."
"Is that so? It seems I'm quite ignorant." Jiang Yuan couldn't help but shake his head. He had been out of touch with the world for five years and didn't understand many things thoroughly.
"This black market is not simple. The black market operator we just met should be Wen Gui, one of the Five Ghosts. In fact, there were legends of the Five Ghosts in the folk before the catastrophe. I didn't expect that the person behind this black market would also be related to the Five Ghosts Sect."
Liu Zhaodi explained, and then continued, "The Five Ghosts Transporting Wealth—each ghost in this black market has its own mission. Perhaps the black market's ability to survive in the underworld is inextricably linked to these five ghosts."
“I knew it! This black market is my destiny!” Jiang Yuan suddenly exclaimed.
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhaodi's expression changed. She warned, "Don't cause any trouble. We need to be careful. You're only at the True Spirit Realm now. Once you reach the Divine Realm, I'll go crazy with you however you want, but not now!"
She didn't know that Jiang Yuan was cursed with certain death in the Divine Realm, so it wasn't so easy for him to enter the Divine Realm.
"Don't worry, I'm just curious about whose subordinates these five ghosts are, and I want to get to know them!" Jiang Yuan had something else in mind that he didn't say. He wanted to recruit these five ghosts. He was nominally a Grim Reaper, so it would be too beneath him to not have any followers.
"Don't make friends indiscriminately. There aren't many good people in this black market. If you get led astray by them, where will I find someone to help you?" Liu Zhaodi said resentfully.
Jiang Yuan's expression was full of helplessness. He noticed Liu Zhaodi's increasingly controlling nature. He had originally wanted to say a few words of advice, but the auction started right away.
The Heaven and Earth Gathering is completely different from the previous two black market gatherings. The previous black market gatherings were very disorganized, with everyone wandering around on their own, basically just selling stolen goods to each other. Even the black market organizers didn't attract any customers. But the Heaven and Earth Gathering is completely different. Here, the black market really comes into its own, and nothing that can be auctioned at the Heaven and Earth Gathering is simple.
Take the first thing, for example. In fact, it can't even be called a thing; it's two living beings.
"Please welcome our first item for auction, a brother and sister from the snow wolf tribe in the Tianshan Mountains."
With the sound of a bell, two enormous, specially made cages emerged from behind the curtain. As the cages were pushed out, the cage containing a disheveled boy made a loud noise as the boy jumped around, trying to escape.
The teenage girl imprisoned in the other cage seemed much more numb. Kneeling in the cage, she stared blankly at the people below the stage, her eyes devoid of any liveliness.
Although the two were called Snow Wolves, they were no different from humans except for having a wolf tail and a pair of wolf ears. The boy wore a dark-colored animal skin, while the girl wore a gorgeous dress made by humans. However, compared to the girl, the girl was more pitiful.
It was obvious that the snow wolf girl had been tortured to the point of submission; her numb and lifeless eyes were the best proof of that. So at this moment, she was willing to be auctioned off as a commodity in a cage, dressed in the revealing clothes of a human.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this item can only be sold as a bundle, because this pair of items are rare twin bloodlines of the Snow Wolf Clan. The two cannot be separated for a long time, otherwise one of them will die."
After explaining the most basic bidding principles, Wen Gui continued, "The Snow Wolf Clan is ranked 1280th out of 3000 races, but their low ranking is not due to a lack of talent. Rather, it is because the Snow Wolf Clan is extremely rare. Without a sufficient base, it is impossible to produce super strong individuals. Otherwise, in terms of average talent alone, the Snow Wolf Clan would be even above the Holy Spirit Clan."
"Now that we've discussed the race, let's talk about the quality of our items. We found these two items in Tianshan City two years ago, and after more than a year of taming, both have developed significant abilities. This female snow wolf has learned the art of seduction and is well-versed in the art of the bedroom. Most importantly, she has also cultivated a Xuan Shen-level furnace technique and is still a virgin, enough to serve her master until he reaches the Nascent Soul stage."
"Of course, if a customer places an order, they can inspect the goods on the spot. We have a reputation in the black market; we'll compensate ten times the price if it's fake!"
When Wen Gui mentioned the "tenfold compensation for fakes" deal, he deliberately stirred up a somewhat obscene atmosphere in the room.
"Disgusting!" Liu Zhaodi closed her eyes. Although she had long known that there were no good things to be found in the black market, it was rare to see such a disgusting item as the first item up for auction.
The excited atmosphere in the room was obviously a million times stronger than Liu Zhaodi's disgust. Once the atmosphere was stirred up, Wen Gui immediately promoted another item for auction. He patted the cage and then said sarcastically, "As for this male snow wolf, it's more than enough to be a death servant."
