After hearing Xiao Chen's words, many people looked over.
I saw that he was holding an irregular, gray stone in his hand.
No, calling it a stone is a bit of an exaggeration, it's more like a clod of earth.
"hehe."
Someone laughed out loud, and it really looked like someone had accidentally thrown it onto the stall.
"Could it be that the cloth is being pressed down?"
Someone said.
“I think so.”
Listening to their words, Xiao Chen was overjoyed. Now it all depended on what the bearded man would say.
"Well, it's not a piece of dirt, it's just a little thing I found by chance."
The bearded man looked at the clod of earth and said.
"But I still haven't figured out what it is. It's been a year and I haven't sold any."
"hehe."
Xiao Chen smiled and was even more excited. As expected, he didn't know what the big bearded man was!
Not only did he not know what it was, but judging from his tone, he didn't take it seriously either!
"I thought it was just some dirt thrown here by someone, but now that you mentioned it, I'm a little interested in it. It must be something extraordinary since you haven't figured it out yet."
Xiao Chen said deliberately.
"I'm not bragging. I've been hanging around in the ghost market for many years, and there are few things that can hide from my eyes..."
The bearded man also smiled.
"It's just a little thing. If you're interested, I'll give it to you."
"Senior gave it to me for free, I really can't accept it."
Xiao Chen shook his head, looked serious, and put the clod of earth down.
"Forget it, I'll give you a spirit stone."
The bearded man waved his hand. What extraordinary? If it was really extraordinary, he would have figured it out long ago.
Therefore, he was too lazy to ask for a higher price. Since Xiao Chen was not willing to take it for free, he would just give him one spirit stone.
"Haha, okay."
Xiao Chen suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, smiled and picked up the clod of earth again.
"Here, this is a spirit stone."
"???"
The bearded man looked at the spirit stone Xiao Chen handed over and felt something was wrong.
He hasn’t even paid for the bracelet that cost two thousand spirit stones, and now you’re going to pay for this piece of dirt that cost only one spirit stone?
Shouldn't they be counted together?
Could it be that I was wrong?
Is this piece of dirt a good thing?
It shouldn't be like this!
When Xiao Chen saw the strange look on the bearded man's face, his heart skipped a beat and he immediately realized that he had been rash and had made him suspicious.
However, he really felt uneasy if he didn't give him the spirit stones.
After paying the spirit stones, this thing will belong to him.
By then, even if the bearded man finds out and regrets it, it will be useless.
You want to take back what's in his hands?
Not to mention the King of Ghosts, even the King of Hell is useless!
"Haha, it's just one spirit stone, so you should give it to me in advance. When the final accounts are settled, you will definitely not be able to ask for thousands of spirit stones... It's not my character to ask for other people's things for free."
Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Let's get one thing to another."
"good."
The bearded man looked at Xiao Chen, then at the clod of earth in his hand, and slowly took the spirit stone.
"It's done."
Xiao Chen's smile became even wider. This... Essence of Earth, is his!
That’s right, this is the essence of earth!
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so excited and so cautious!
Only he had seen the spirit of earth, otherwise he wouldn't take a clod of earth seriously!
"This is the essence of earth. If I get it with just one spirit stone, I'll make a fortune..."
Xiao Chen held Tu Ke La's hand, which was shaking a little due to excitement.
At the beginning, the old fortune teller was seriously injured because of this piece of dirt, which shows how precious it is.
Now he bought it with just one spirit stone, how could he not be excited!
“I always feel like I’m losing out.”
The bearded man looked at Xiao Chen with a gleam in his eyes.
"Do you recognize this thing?"
"No, you don't even know Senior Ghost King, so how could I know him? I'm just a little interested."
How could Xiao Chen admit it? He just smiled and shook his head.
"Forget it, I'll sell it to you..."
The bearded man withdrew his gaze.
"I have my own rules when doing business. Now that I have made a move, I cannot regret it."
"A particular person."
Xiao Chen gave a thumbs up and felt relieved.
If you can avoid conflict with the bearded man, it is better to avoid it.
After all, he couldn't see through the strength of this 'Ghost King'.
I won’t say how strong it is, but it’s definitely not weak.
Xiao Chen collected the dirt and clods of dirt, trying not to show that he cared too much. Just like he said... he was just a little interested.
The bearded man didn't think any more about it. He had also studied the clods of earth, but he really didn't understand it clearly.
"It's impossible that I haven't figured it out in my hands for so long. This guy recognized it at first sight..."
The bearded man muttered to himself and focused his attention on the business at hand.
Xiao Chen asked about the prices of a few more gadgets, and they all seemed very interested and he bought them.
This made the bearded man feel that the clod of earth...he was just interested in it, and he was just overthinking it.
Xiao Chen was also very satisfied. Without attracting anyone's attention, he put the Essence of Earth into his pocket.
"This trip to the black market is definitely worth it..."
Xiao Chen really wanted to leave and take a good look at whether this earth essence was the same as the earth essence given by the old fortune teller.
However, he still planned to see if he could buy something. This 'Ghost King's' stall was indeed good.
"Is there anything else you want?"
After a long time, Xiao Chen asked.
"If you don't have any, just give me the spirit stones and go shopping somewhere else."
“No more.”
Zhao Yuanji shook his head and bought that one thing.
"Okay."
Zhao Ritian and Lu Wudi also bought things.
Wang Pingbei wouldn't say much. For him, having a bracelet was enough.
"Don't you want to take another look? Maybe there's something good out there."
The bearded man laughed.
"Haha, if there are good things, you can't buy them all. You have to leave some for others."
Xiao Chen also laughed.
"How can we let one person take all the good things?"
"Too."
The bearded man nodded.
Afterwards, Xiao Chen and the others gave the spirit stones and left the bearded man's stall.
The bearded man looked at Xiao Chen's back through the gap in the crowd and raised his eyebrows.
"I didn't expect to meet the Ghost King in the black market... We all gained a lot from this trip."
Zhao Ritian said with a smile.
"Yes, there are gains."
After Xiao Chen left the bearded man's stall, his mouth almost stretched behind his ears.
"Chen Xiao, what is that dirt you bought?"
Lu Wudi thought of something and asked.
"It won't be something good, will it?"
"Hmm? Why do you say that?"
Xiao Chen was surprised.
"You are not the type to suffer loss. If it is not a good thing, how can you accept it?"
Lu Wudi curled his lips.
"You know him."
Wang Pingbei muttered to himself, he was also curious about what that clod of earth was.
Moreover, that clod of dirt...why do I feel like I've seen it somewhere before?
He just thought about it over and over again, but couldn't remember it.
"Haha, it's just a small thing. Just one spirit stone. What can you buy with it?"
Xiao Chen did not say what Tu Ke La was. After all, the essence of the five elements was involved in the foundation building of divine products.
What's more, his identity is also involved here.
"That's the Ghost King. It's a really great item. Will he sell it?"
Zhao Yuanji had a different opinion. He thought that the fact that the Ghost King was willing to sell it meant that he didn't like it.
After Zhao Yuanji's interruption, Lu Wudi didn't ask about the dirt anymore, and the group continued to stroll around.
Except for the stall of the bearded man, most of the other stalls didn't have any good stuff. Even if they did, Xiao Chen wouldn't look at them.
Occasionally there would be people passing by, like the one who was selling the unique medicine from Yao Shen Valley, and Xiao Chen had to make his move two or three times.
However, this is extremely rare. After all, trading on the black market carries risks.
After they sell their things, they leave quickly for fear of being targeted.
"I have seen the charm of the black market. Good things cannot be compared with those at auctions, but they are two different feelings."
Xiao Chen's face was full of smiles; he had gained a lot tonight.
Not to mention the dirt and clods, even the cultivation method is worth it.
"Shall we go shopping some more, or what?"
Zhao Ritian asked.
"When does this black market end?"
"They left at dawn at a few o'clock."
Zhao Yuanji replied.
"Then we'll just take a stroll and leave. Do you want to go back and refine the storage device?"
Xiao Chen looked at Zhao Ritian and asked.
"Um."
Zhao Ritian nodded.
"It must be refined as soon as possible."
"good."
A few people walked around Ghost Street again, bought some small items, and then left.
Zhao Ritian and his friends returned to the City Lord's Mansion, and Xiao Chen and Wang Pingbei also returned to the inn.
"Brother Chen, thank you."
Wang Pingbei looked at Xiao Chen and said.
"What is there to thank me for? I've already said that following me is better than staying in Qingyun Tower."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"You may have thought I was bragging before, but I will tell you with facts that I never brag."
"Uh-huh."
Wang Pingbei nodded vigorously.
"Including letting you be the owner of Qingyun Tower."
Xiao Chen added another sentence.
“…”
Wang Pingbei’s head froze as he nodded.
This is absolutely bullshit!
"Brother Chen, what is that dirt? Why do I feel like it looks familiar?"
Wang Pingbei changed the subject and asked.
"Look familiar? Oh, yes, I've shown it to you."
Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment, then he realized that he had shown off in front of Wang Pingbei before.
"Showed it to me? I told you, it looks familiar, but I can't remember where."
Wang Ping North Road.
"What is it?"
"Essence of earth."
Xiao Chen looked around, released his spiritual sense, and after making sure no one was paying attention, he whispered.
"Earth Essence? What? Earth Essence?"
After hearing Xiao Chen's words, Wang Pingbei repeated them, then reacted and almost jumped up on the spot.
Fortunately, he controlled himself in time and stared at Xiao Chen. Is this clod of earth the essence of earth?
He thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true!
"It's actually... the spirit of earth?"
Wang Pingbei was very excited. How lucky was Xiao Chen to come to the black market and actually buy the Essence of Earth.
Moreover, it’s a spirit stone!
If the Ghost King knew about this, wouldn't he overthrow the whole business?
"That's not right. Don't you have the essence of earth?"
Wang Pingbei thought of something and asked.
"Yeah, but who wants too much of this stuff?"
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Maybe I can collect a second set of Five Elements Essence..."
"It's not that easy."
Wang Pingbei felt that it was impossible. Qingyun Tower had spent so much manpower, material resources, financial resources and various other resources for Qingyunzi, but they still couldn't get enough.
"Doesn't Qing Yunzi have it? It's much easier to snatch it than to find it yourself, right?"
Xiao Chen said with a smile.

It's New Year's Eve, brothers, happy New Year~
I hope that in the new year, everyone can have the same luck as Brother Chen, with good health, good things and lots of money~
