"The entry fee is one low-grade spirit stone."
As soon as I entered Fangshi, before I could see the situation clearly, a voice rang in my ears.
After his tense body relaxed a little, Chu Mu casually took out a spirit stone, and when he was about to hand it out, his originally indifferent eyes suddenly became startled.
The one who made the noise was not a human being, but a puppet?
Chu Mu looked at the puppet in front of him, which was at least half a meter taller than him, and seemed a little confused.
The puppet is in the shape of a human being, with iron armor all over its body, and the lines can be seen flickering. It wears a black iron helmet, and the outstretched palm seems to be some kind of metal arm.
Under the perception of spiritual consciousness, it is also lifeless, only the terrifying spiritual brilliance is faintly revealed, and the aura of perfect Qi training is very clear.
A humanoid puppet with peak combat power!
Chu Mu tentatively handed the spirit stone to the puppet's hand. The puppet's palm suddenly opened a small hole and swallowed the spirit stone.
In the perception of his spiritual consciousness, there seemed to be a wave of waves flashing across the puppet's arm. This wave of waves was exactly the same as the wave of spiritual energy measured by the man in Xuezhi Pavilion.
Immediately, the puppet's other arm stretched out, and a black ring appeared in its hand.
"With this precept, you can stay in Fangshi for twelve hours. If you exceed the time, you need to pay another spiritual stone. Anyone who violates this will be expelled."
"You need three spirit stones to rent a stall, and you can hold the stall for twenty-four hours."
"Fighting is strictly prohibited in the city. Anyone who violates this rule will have his soul drained and a lamp lit."
The voice came from the puppet's head, and it was mechanical and cold. It seemed no different from the robots in the science fiction movies of his previous life.
Chu Mu took the ring without saying much. He had the inheritance of puppetry. Even if he could not understand the contact yet, he still had a certain understanding.
The puppet in front of you must be running according to a certain set program. As long as it does not violate its program rules, it will not pose any threat.
But, does such a puppet guarding the gate mean that there will be the basic knowledge of weapon refining that he needs in this black market?
Chu Mu's heart was pounding. He looked at the puppet in front of him for a few times, and then looked at the city in front of him. It was not the valley he expected, but... a huge cave with bright lights.
The cave was at least as big as a stadium in its previous life. The hollowed-out stone wall and dome were inlaid with dense fluorescent stones. Looking at it, it looked like a bright starry sky.
Under the starry sky, there are circles of wooden houses surrounding the cave in a circular shape. The houses are not as gorgeous and exquisite as those in Yuhuanggufang City, and they all look like they are pieced together from a few random wooden boards.
Obviously, these buildings are probably the stalls that the puppet mentioned.
Subconsciously, Chu Mu silently calculated in his mind that hundreds of houses were hundreds of stalls, and the rent for each stall was three spiritual stones.
The holding right for twenty-four hours is two days.
Two days is thousands of spiritual stones, plus one spiritual stone for the entry fee...
Chu Mu pursed his lips and looked at the black market with a bit more passion.
Taking a step forward, Chu Mu stepped into the hustle and bustle of the black market.
There are many immortal cultivators in the black market. On the surrounding streets, in front of almost every stall, you can see immortal cultivators lingering, asking questions, bargaining, or even quarreling and scolding each other.
However, all the hustle and bustle seems to be limited to a certain range. On the surrounding streets, one can see a humanoid puppet that looks like a sculpture at every distance.
The undisguised fluctuations in power clearly tell all immortal cultivators of his peak combat power.
Walking slowly along the stalls, the dazzling array of various items seemed to give Chu Mu an eye-opening feeling.
The strict rules of the Jade Emperor Valley obviously do not exist in the black market of Fengming Lake.
Although most of the prices are expensive, there are no restrictions at all. If the price is agreed upon, then the money will be settled.
For example, he was practicing the Fire Jue Technique. He saw the entire thirteen-level book at a stall, asking for one hundred and twenty spiritual stones. The price was even cheaper than the combined purchase price of each level in Xuezhi Pavilion. A little bit, and the whole thing!
For example, spells can be seen everywhere at these stalls, and most of them package and sell related basic knowledge.
Spiritual elixirs, mineral materials, and magic weapons are also extremely common.
Chu Mu stopped and looked at a book on the stall in front of him. The title of the book... Basics of Weapon Refining!
The name is very common, but also very extraordinary!
What is he missing?
He has no shortage of foundations in alchemy. The foundation has been completed in the secular world. As long as he has enough resources, he can transform the worldly knowledge of people and medicine into the alchemy skills of the immortal world.
As for the puppet inheritance, he lacks the foundation!
Puppetry is a branch based on the weapon refining technique.
This means that if he wants to study the puppetry technique, he must first have a certain understanding of the weapon refining technique.
And the art of refining weapons includes too much knowledge, mineral materials, weapon patterns, formation patterns, smelting...
The most important reason why he wasted his time in Liji Mining Materials was to complete this basic knowledge bit by bit.
Then try to contact puppetry again.
How could his little-by-little completion compare to a complete book on the basics of weapon refining?
It is no exaggeration to say that if you give him a book on the basics of weapon refining, he will be able to complete most of the missing knowledge puzzle in an instant, which is equivalent to him having half a foot in the door of puppetry!
"How many spiritual stones does this book of weapon refining basics contain?"
"No two prices, one thousand low-grade spiritual stones, you must swear not to leak them!"
The man in gray robe behind the stall raised his head and glanced at Chu Mu. After speaking, he seemed to think that Chu Mu had the financial resources, and added: "You can go to the Libra Pavilion to verify the authenticity."
Libra Pavilion?
Chu Mu silently remembered the name in his mind, then shook his head and turned away without answering.
A thousand low-grade spiritual stones...
He himself is still short of 800 pieces...
Although puppetry is important, the most important thing right now is the release of Bigu Pill.
Only by opening up financial resources can one's cultivation level be steadily improved, and only then can there be hope for the path to immortality.
Despite his desire, Chu Mu still clearly distinguishes the importance.
After wandering around the market, Chu Mu also had a general understanding of the black market in Fengming Mountain.
This Fengming Mountain black market is different from the monopolized trading market in Yuhuang Valley, but a free trading market. This freedom means that there are no restrictions on you in the market. As long as it exists, you can buy and sell.
Of course, freedom exists within the city, but outside the city, it seems to be even more wanton.
The sales are guaranteed, but after entering the Fengming Mountain black market, there is no guarantee at all. Whether you can keep the gains in the black market depends on your ability.
As for the Libra Pavilion I just heard about, it is an appraisal and guarantee agency. If buyers and sellers are not sure whether the items they buy or sell are authentic, they can go to Libra Pavilion for appraisal. Libra Pavilion will charge a percentage based on the transaction value. one of the handling fees.
Of course, if something goes wrong with the item after the appraisal, Libra Pavilion will guarantee compensation.
A completely free trading market naturally involves a wide variety of commodity transactions.
After just one turn, Chu Mu discovered that what he wanted, whether it was alchemy or the basic knowledge required for puppetry, was all available on the black market in Fengming Valley.
He even saw a top-grade magic weapon-level pill furnace for sale!
This means that as long as he has enough spiritual stones, this black market can get him everything he wants and solve all his current worries.
"Spiritual stone..."
Chu Mu pursed his lips, and two inheritances emerged in his mind.
One alchemy, one puppet.
Once you have received favor from others, it is picked up in vain.
If he wants to sell, how should he sell it and which one should he sell?
Chu Mu silently analyzed that, in fact, selling the alchemy inheritance left by Mr. Li was the most cost-effective.
After all, the knowledge of alchemy inheritance is relatively superficial, and the Bigu Pill is also the most basic elixir recipe in the world of immortality. It is really not considered conspicuous in this black market.
Puppetry is different. Even compared to the puppetry system, the inheritance of puppetry in his mind is only the basic knowledge of the puppetry system.
But this foundation is different from the foundation of alchemy, but the basic knowledge of advanced!
If he takes it out, even in this black market, he will definitely become the target of public criticism.
Moreover, the person in charge of this black market, judging from this puppet, is obviously a master of puppetry. Will he attract attention if he uses puppetry?
Not to mention, the puppetry technique he acquired seems to be related to the mystery of East Lake. If he sells it, will it attract the attention of higher-level people?
But the knowledge of alchemy comes from people's favor after all. If he sells it, how can he be worthy of Mr. Li's sincere teachings?
If he does not choose to sell alchemy, but sells the related knowledge of puppetry, no matter what price he expected, it seems that he is not able to bear it now.
Chu Mu looked around the market in front of him, with a bit of confusion in his eyes.
Morality and reality seem to collide again.
…
More eight thousand.
