Chapter 157 Underground Black Market



Does he really have a son?

After seeing this message, Zhongli Tingzhou's face showed a trace of confusion again. He thought Gao Han was joking last time.

A murderous aura suddenly arose, and almost at the same time, the confusion in Zhongli Tingzhou's eyes disappeared. His handsome eyebrows slanting into his temples slightly twisted, and his sharp eyes shot towards a group of men in black who suddenly appeared from behind.

"Zhongli Tingzhou?" The leading man in black spoke in a hoarse voice.

Zhongli Tingzhou naturally would not answer. With the long sword in his hand, a swift sword light broke through the air.

The man in black no longer hesitated and said quickly: "Do it!"

The men in black behind him instantly rose from the ground and attacked Zhongli Tingzhou from all directions.

The smell of blood gradually permeated the air, and after half an hour, it became extremely strong.

When people who smelled the blood rushed here, they saw corpses all over the ground and gasped.

Someone checked the body and saw a mark on the back of the black-clothed man's neck. He immediately blurted out, "Look, it's the demon cultivator of the demon spirit."

Everyone came forward to look at the corpses, and they really found the same mark on the back of the neck of each corpse, and finally confirmed that they were the evil cultivators of the evil spirit.

The people who killed these evil cultivators had obviously left. Everyone looked at each other, and suddenly, they all cut off the heads of the corpses.

There is a bounty on the heads of every evil cultivator of the Demon Spirit. The other party looks down on these, but they don’t mind. No matter how small a mosquito leg is, it is still meat.

The demon headquarters.

"Are they all dead?" The voice came from a man sitting at the head of the seat, who was covered in a black robe.

"To answer your question, sir, they are all dead, not a single one is alive." The person who reported this knelt on one knee on the ground.

"Nan Zhongli, your reputation is well-deserved." There was no emotion in the black-robed man's voice, and it was unclear whether it was a sincere compliment or a false one.

The person reporting this felt his knees tremble slightly.

Xu Maojun glanced at the man in black robe and lowered his head again, "Sir, do you want to continue testing?"

"Why not? Let's send someone strong this time. There's no need to send those small fry to die. I don't want to wait any longer. We need to find out as soon as possible whether he is the Demon King or not." The man in black robe had an angry voice, and his eyes beneath the robe were shining coldly, with a hint of impatience.

"Then Sun Wangkun..."

The man in black robes hesitated for a second and said, "Send him and tell him that this is his only chance to atone for his crime. Otherwise, he will be buried with the lady."

"Yes, sir." Xu Maojun lowered his head and walked out with a smile on his face.

In the morning, Gao Han met Lin Yun at the school gate.

The black market in the imperial capital is quite special. Under the feet of the emperor, every step is like walking on thin ice, so you have to be extra careful and you need an introducer to enter.

With Lin Yun's guarantee, Gao Han easily entered the underground black market in the imperial capital.

The underground black market, as the name suggests, is a large market hidden underground. You can't see the end from the entrance. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is an underground city.

As soon as you enter, you are greeted by a lively atmosphere.

"Lin Yun? I haven't seen you for a long time. How dare you come down this time? Aren't you afraid that the Black Wolf's people will cause trouble for you again?"

Not long after walking, he met an acquaintance of Lin Yun.

There is no real friendship in the underground black market. If something happens, the other party can push you into the fire pit.

"What are you afraid of? Black Wolf is busy fighting now. If my whereabouts are discovered, it must be you who leaked it." After Lin Yun shouted, he pulled Gao Han away.

The other party snorted, "Am I such a disloyal person? There is no reward."

The last sentence is the key point.

Lin Yun didn't hear it, but it wouldn't matter if he did. In the underground black market, only those with benefits can get through. No one would be bothered to cause trouble for things without benefits.

"Who is Black Wolf fighting with?" Gao Han later heard from Lin Yun that he knew that people from this organization were looking for Zhongli Tingzhou. When they met him in the disaster area, they mistook him for Zhongli Tingzhou and attacked him.

"It's not really a war with anyone. To be precise, it's a fight for territory. You know the Crimson Blood Mercenary Group, right? Many of their backbone members were killed by the Demon King a while ago, and their strength has been greatly reduced. Now the Crimson Blood is no longer able to defend the territory they conquered before." Lin Yun explained in a few words.

"Speaking of which, it is indirectly related to you," Lin Yun rolled his eyes and asked secretly, "Can you tell me, do you really not know the Demon King?"

"I don't know him." Gao Han said without hesitation.

If he didn't know the Demon King, he would just happen to kill the people of the Scarlet Blood Mercenary Group and record that video? It's almost like deceiving a three-year-old child.

Lin Yun muttered to himself.

After a while, the two came to a hidden shop. The shop front was very small, no more than one and a half meters wide, and could only accommodate one person.

"Not everyone can trust the underground black market. Some people talk a lot of nonsense, but in fact, it's bullshit. The real good stuff is always very secretive."

Lin Yun took him in and saw two strong men guarding outside at the end. He took out a sign and showed it to the other party before letting them in.

"This store doesn't use facial recognition, they only look at the brand. Once you become their customer, they will give you a brand."

"In addition to talismans, they also sell various things, such as refining materials and some special materials. They can also produce them."

After walking through this path, there is a vast world behind the door.

It was very lively inside, with people walking back and forth, and there was something in front of every stall.

"This is the territory of another underground black market power. The Black Wolf people don't dare to come here."

"As long as the price is satisfactory, everything can be negotiated."

"See if there's anything you want."

Gao Han took a look around and found that there were indeed quite a lot of things, many of which were relatively rare on the market. There were also quite a few talismans. At a glance, he could see that someone was selling high-level talismans, but there was no top-level talisman that he was looking for.

"Just take me to see the top-level spells."

"Okay, follow me."

Seeing that he was not interested, Lin Yun was not surprised. He found someone who looked like the person in charge and negotiated with him for a while. He also secretly told the other party that the person he brought was a wealthy man.

The man looked at Gao Han for a long time, as if he was sizing up his identity, and after a moment he nodded in agreement.

Top-level talismans are not very common on the black market.

The other party took them to a small room where there was a person who was actually in charge. He heard that someone wanted to buy a top-level talisman, and that the person might be a wealthy customer.

"We have top-level talismans. What type would you like to buy?" the steward asked with a smile, his eyes flickering as if he was looking at a big fat sheep.

Gao Han said, "Whatever talismans you have, I want them."

The manager nodded in satisfaction. He was indeed a big customer. "We have all top-level talismans for attack, defense, and formation. However, we don't have a lot in stock. The quality of some top-level talismans may not be that good."

Gao Han nodded seriously: "I want to take a look."

The steward took out a square box from the cabinet, opened it, and inside lay six talismans. There was a faint flash of light on the talismans, and from the aura emanating from them, one could feel that these were indeed top-level talismans.

Lin Yun was right, there were indeed many ways in the underground black market.

Gao Han asked: "Can I pick it up and have a look?"

The steward narrowed his eyes and smiled, "No, that won't do. If it gets bumped or dented, any damage will be on you. I advise you not to take it. Just watch it."

This is the behavior of a robber, and it also has some meaning of forced sale.

But that's how the underground black market works.

Gao Han had been to the underground black market in his previous life. The other party’s attitude suggested that the quality of these talismans might not be that good.

Generally, people will find the underground black market, which means there is demand and the other party is not worried that they will not buy it.

Lin Yun was still worried that he might be dissatisfied, and was mentally prepared to persuade him. Unexpectedly, he accepted it so calmly and looked at him with admiration again.

Gao Han stared at the talismans for a while, "How much is the price?"

The manager said: "The price of top-level offensive spells is relatively high, 2.5 times the market price. The price of defensive and formation-type spells is the same, 2 times the market price."

Gao Han pointed at four of the talismans without blinking, "I want these two offensive talismans, this defensive one, and this formation one."

The manager was stunned for a moment, not because of his decisiveness, but because the four talismans he pointed to were of better quality among all the talismans, while the two talismans he ignored were of slightly lower quality.

This was not good luck, it just meant that the opponent's eyesight was better than he thought, and the trick he just used didn't work on the opponent.

The steward was a little unconvinced and said awkwardly, "Don't you want the other two?"

Gao Han said bluntly: "The quality is not good enough, and it is not worth it to pay twice the market price."

Well, now the manager had to admit that the other party was so considerate and generous that it made him give some pause.

"You are so forthright. If you want to buy the remaining two talismans together, I can decide the price based on the market price. What do you think?"

Gao Han hesitated for a moment and then agreed, "Okay."

This time I happened to encounter such a large amount of stock on hand. Next time I come, I may not be able to encounter it.

Six top-level talismans emptied half of his savings. It turned out that money just doesn't last long.

However, the talisman was already found, so he was not worried anymore.

After he finished paying the bill, the manager gave him another pass, which was the same pass that Lin Yun had just shown to the guard.

Next time he comes, he won’t need Lin Yun to lead him, he can come in by himself.

"I was right about you. You are a wealthy man." After leaving the underground black market, Lin Yun was in a good mood and rubbed his hands. "Well, next time I ask you to refine a weapon, can you give me a discount?"

Gao Han knew that there must be a reason for his sudden flattery, so he was not surprised to hear this, "Okay."

Lin Yun patted his shoulder excitedly, "Thank you very much."

The two returned to school and separated at the door.

The next morning, Gao Han took six top-level talismans to the military compound to find Gao's father and mother. On the way, he received a message from Professor Fan, asking him to find time to meet him in the afternoon.

When they arrived at the military compound, Gao Han handed two top-grade talismans of slightly inferior quality to Gao's father.

Father Gao was immediately attracted by the pure and rich energy in the talisman. "The energy in this talisman is so strong, it must not be a high-level talisman, right?"

Gao Han said, "No, this is a top-level talisman. There are very few of them on the market. I bought them from the black market. Here are two of them. Dad, you can take a look at them when you have time, but don't copy them yet."

"Your current strength is not enough. If you copy it, it will drain all your spiritual energy in an instant."

Gao Han gave him special instructions for fear that he would be tempted to copy it.

Father Gao fondly touched the two talismans and said, "I see. I'm not stupid. So these are top-level talismans."

"My tutor needs me for something else, so I'll leave first. Mom, please look after Dad." Gao Han reminded her again, worried.

Gao's mother assured him.

Gao Han left.
