The two were having a great time making their deal, unaware that they were being watched by several groups of people.
"Investigate who the man next to the president of the Chaoyuan Chamber of Commerce is, and why the two of them are so close! Also, don't alert them. Both of them are strong contenders for our final auction item, so as long as we rule out the possibility that the other is a spy from Tianfu, we can send him an invitation to the Heaven and Earth Gathering!"
"clear!"
...
"The hunters are in position, but it is impossible to determine how many hunters are present."
"What? It's just the three of us hunters? Did the organization send other hunters?"
"It's not clear yet, but I'm certain that a fourth hunter has appeared in the hunting grounds. As for who it is, we can't say for sure right now."
"Perhaps it's a hidden weapon left by the organization. Ignore it and proceed according to plan!"
"It's a rare opportunity for a publicly funded trip, so everyone should spend freely, but don't skimp on the money and miss the Heaven and Earth Gathering."
"Don't worry, even though our salaries aren't high, our spending power is still top-notch!"
...
"Honey, have you earned enough money for me to spend?"
Jiang Yuan was still waiting miserably for someone to come and buy things, but Liu Zhaodi squatted down next to him, and the two of them managed to make the black market feel like a shopping mall.
"Hmm, these people don't know their stuff. They're way behind you!" Jiang Yuan said thoughtfully.
Liu Zhaodi, far from being ashamed, was actually proud, saying, "Haha, not everyone spends like me."
"Alright, let's call it a day. We won't make much money anyway!" Jiang Yuan began to pack up his stall.
"I bought you a gift!" Liu Zhaodi mysteriously held out her fist; the gift she was referring to was clearly in her palm.
"It was bought for me!"
Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow, looking quite surprised.
"Guess what it is. If you guess right, I'll give you the candy in my hand!" Liu Zhaodi waved her fist in front of Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan: "..."
Is this treating him like an idiot?
"I guess it's candy," Jiang Yuan said seriously.
"Wow, what an idiot! You guessed wrong!"
Liu Zhaodi opened her hand, and in her palm was not a candy, but a skill ball the size of a marble.
Jiang Yuan: "..."
Indeed, you can't trust what women say, especially beautiful women.
"The candy is gone, but I can give you this skill!" Liu Zhaodi flipped her hand and stuffed the skill ball into Jiang Yuan's hand. She instructed him, "I know you can't stop moving forward, and I have no reason to stop you, but I hope you take good care of yourself, because you are not alone now."
Jiang Yuan nodded knowingly, then tried to ease the tension by saying, "So if I'm not a person, am I a pig?"
"I'm serious!" Liu Zhaodi flicked Jiang Yuan's forehead with her finger, then pointed to the skill orb and said, "This skill orb contains a one-time use Ten Thousand Escape Technique. I've already set the teleportation point for the Ten Thousand Escape Technique to our house. If you encounter any danger outside, remember to activate it. I'll face it with you then!"
"I don't need it anymore, you should keep it for your own self-defense." Jiang Yuan was confident in his ability to protect himself. To sum it up in two sentences, he didn't need to run away from minor troubles, and he couldn't run away from major troubles. Generally, if it really came to the point that even he couldn't handle it, even the Ten Thousand Escape Technique would be useless.
“Keep it. If you don’t listen to me, I won’t love you anymore!” Liu Zhaodi’s attitude was very firm.
"Does she have to be so ruthless!" Jiang Yuan said with a wry smile. Liu Zhaodi had never threatened him with something like this before, but this move did work on him. He held the skill ball in his hand.
Seeing that he had put it away, Liu Zhaodi put away her serious expression and helped tidy up the stall while transmitting her voice: "You idiot, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. If the Imperial Seal of the State really appears today, are you going to cause a huge scene again!"
Jiang Yuan: "..."
He said that Zhao Di had given him this thing out of the blue because she was afraid he would cause trouble in the black market. However, he did have that thought, but Liu Zhao Di's worries were obviously unnecessary, because the black market really couldn't stop him.
"Distinguished guests, given your spending power at this event, the black market organizers would like to invite you to the VIP section of the Heaven and Earth Gathering. Furthermore, any items you place for auction during the gathering will be exempt from transaction fees."
The two were chatting and whispering to each other when a person shrouded in shadow walked over and handed them two invitations with black and gold borders.
Generally, you don't need an invitation to enter the Heaven and Earth Gathering. As long as your spending level meets the requirements, you can enter the Heaven and Earth Gathering, unless you are in the most prestigious VIP seat.
"VIP seats?" Jiang Yuan looked puzzled. His understanding of the black market was limited to his observations from the past few days; he knew virtually nothing else.
"That suits our identity, let's go!"
Liu Zhaodi pulled Jiang Yuan inside. Whether it was her status as the number one alchemist in China or the president of the Chaoyuan Chamber of Commerce, she was qualified to occupy a seat in the VIP section of the black market.
As for Jiang Yuan, he was equally qualified, even if he only demonstrated his most basic financial resources.
"Gentlemen, do you have any items you wish to auction? Trust in the capabilities of our black market; we are confident we can offer you a satisfactory price!" The figure in black began to introduce the items to the two, clearly hoping they would contribute some to bolster the auction.
"As for me, I'll auction off a set of Supreme God Pills. A set contains a total of one hundred Supreme God Pills, and each Supreme God Pill can restore all the energy seals of a Supreme God Realm cultivator within three minutes." With a wave of her hand, Liu Zhaodi displayed ten bottles of pills on a silver tray held by a dark figure.
"Are you an alchemist?" the shadowy figure asked, feigning ignorance.
