Hearing this, several question marks suddenly popped up on Song Changsheng's head. Are all Black Market's traders so unprofessional?

Song Changsheng ignored him and turned around to leave regardless of the man's greeting.

In his opinion, that person only had Foundation Establishment cultivation, and only with Demon King Inner Core could he be considered a ghost. Even if it was true, he couldn't afford it with his wealth, so there was no need to waste time.

Without taking any rash action, he first walked around in a circle.

I found that the scale of Black Market was really quite large, with a lot of people, but few buildings. Most people just sat down on the ground, put a sign in front of them, stating what they wanted to sell or receive, and then they stopped moving like an old monk entering meditation.

Song Changsheng took a cursory look and found that the things they sold and the things they wanted to collect were all kinds of things, and he had never even heard of many of them.

But there are still many things that make him very excited, such as some powerful Talismans, or the exquisite formation books and mental techniques Secret Art.

It's just that half of his belongings were handed over to Song Qingxi, and he now only has more than 36,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones left.

"It seems that we have to find a place to sell these things first and exchange them for some Spirit Stone." Song Changsheng weighed his money bag with a wry smile on his face.

What is this Spirit Stone enough for?

After thinking for a while, he followed the example of others, found an open space and sat down, took out an iron plate, pointed it like a knife, and carved on it the words: "High-Grade Demonic Spirit Artifact, first and second level Demonic Artifact, Demonic Path Classics for sale", and then inserted it in front of him.

Then he took out an iron plate and engraved it with the words "Purchase of money to acquire the Flood Dragon Scale film". He had already collected four of the five media of "Five Beast Body Tempering Art", leaving only the final Flood Dragon Scale film.

Although the search for many years has been unsuccessful, this Black Market has brought together the entire Great Qi and even several Cultivation World monks. Maybe someone will own it.

As soon as his brand was established, it attracted many people one after another. You don't need to think about it, most of them are Demonic Cultivator.

Song Changsheng can only lament that Black Market really has no scruples.

After going back and forth, he sold most of the magic resources, but only got 15,000 yuan Low-Grade Spirit Stones. It can be said that he vomited blood and shed tears at the sale.

There is no way, most of the Black Market sold are items of unknown origin, so buyers are very aggressive in lowering the price, and some even cut them in half.

Song Changsheng was eager to sell, so he didn't care about these, otherwise he could have bought more Spirit Stone.

In less than an hour, except for High-Grade Demonic Spirit Artifact, he sold all the other magic trophies at cabbage prices, earning a total of eighteen thousand Spirit Stone.

It's not that High-Grade Demonic Spirit Artifact isn't popular. In fact, most people come here for it, but they can't accept the price, so they haven't sold it yet.

Just when Song Changsheng was wondering if the price was going to be reduced, a tall figure came over. He was wearing a wolf-head mask, looked at Song Changsheng condescendingly and said, "Do you have High-Grade Demonic Spirit Artifact?"

His voice was like two pieces of sandpaper rubbing together, which was very uncomfortable. Song Changsheng didn't hold out much hope and said casually, "Fifty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, no bargaining, if you use Mid-Grade Spirit Stone to settle, you can get a 15% discount."

For a piece of Top-Grade Spirit Artifact, the price is not expensive, even a bit cheap, but in Black Market, it is not easy to get rid of.

Unexpectedly, the tall figure actually nodded and said, "The price is very suitable, but I want to see the goods first."

As soon as these words came out, Song Changsheng immediately became energetic. This was when he met a big customer.

He quickly took out the Demonic Wheel from the Storage Bag, handed it to the tall figure and said, "There is absolutely nothing wrong with the product. Among the High-Grade Demonic Spirit Artifact, it is also of the highest quality Higher Vehicle."

The tall figure took it and inspected it carefully, and even tried to push it, and then said with satisfaction, "It's indeed good."

"Fifty thousand Spirit Stone, it's yours." Seeing that the other party was satisfied, Song Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, the man shook his head and said, "I don't have that many Spirit Stone."

"What?" Song Changsheng was stunned for a moment, this is just to entertain me, why would you visit a kiln if you don't have money... Ah no, Black Market.

Seemingly feeling Song Changsheng's emotional changes, the tall figure quickly said, "I can use other things to exchange with you."

Song Changsheng was a little uninterested. No matter how good the things Demonic Cultivator brought out, he didn't dare to use them. He was about to refuse him, but the other party directly took out a porcelain bottle and put it in front of him and said, "This is a bottle of Millennial Stalactite Spirit Liquid, its value is not inferior to that of a Spirit Artifact."

As soon as these words came out, not only did he attract Song Changsheng's attention, but even the people around him were attracted by his words and slowly came closer.

Even though they were all wearing masks, Song Changsheng seemed to be able to see the greedy expressions on their faces, which showed how powerful these words were.

Song Changsheng had quick eyes and quick hands, and took Jade Bottle directly into his hand. Although he was eager, he still inspected it carefully.

But he was obviously overthinking it. It was Black Market's rule that you couldn't interfere in other people's transactions, but Song Changsheng didn't know that when he came here for the first time.

After confirming that it was the genuine [Millennial Stalactite Spirit Liquid], Song Changsheng suppressed his excitement and shook his head at the other party. "This is [Millennial Stalactite Spirit Liquid] and it is true, but the quantity is too small. Thirty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones is too high."

The tall figure was also a little anxious. The price of Song Changsheng was too harsh. This bottle outside was definitely worth 50,000 Spirit Stone, so he cut it off by a fraction of half.

Song Changsheng has no idea that this is Black Market, and bargaining is its specialty.

This is how business is done, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. He searched around and found that Song Changsheng was the most suitable one. Although he was dissatisfied, he still gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, thirty thousand is thirty thousand, and I will make up for the rest with Spirit Stone, Mid-Grade Spirit Stone!"

A bright smile suddenly appeared on Song Changsheng's face, and his tone became much more enthusiastic. "The favor is one hundred and ninety yuan Mid-Grade Spirit Stone."

After paying the money, the tall Black Robe Person turned around and left.

At a low price, he got a bottle of [Millennial Stalactite Spirit Liquid] that can improve cultivation, and one hundred and ninety yuan of Mid-Grade Spirit Stone. Song Changsheng was very satisfied. With the previous eighteen thousand yuan of Low-Grade Spirit Stones, his pockets finally bulged again.

It's a pity that there has been no news about the Flood Dragon Scale film, and only two scammers came in the middle.

It was still very early, but Song Changsheng no longer planned to wait any longer, so he picked up two iron plates and planned to leave.

As a result, as soon as he got up, he was surrounded by a group of Black Robe Person.

"Everyone, what does this mean?" Song Changsheng asked calmly.

He didn't panic at all. These people were not so bold to take action in Black Market.

"Fellow Daoist, how about I offer you 40,000 Spirit Stone and trade the [Millennial Stalactite Spirit Liquid] in your hand to me?"

"I will pay you 50,000 yuan Spirit Stone."

"I'll pay you five hundred yuan Mid-Grade Spirit Stone!"

For a time, everyone made bids one after another, which made Song Changsheng very excited.

However, this thing is hard to come by, and it is of great use to him, so it is impossible to trade it.

He bowed his hands to everyone and said, "Everyone, I have no intention of selling it. If you have Flood Dragon Scale tablets of equal value, you can come and trade with me."

Everyone looked at each other and finally dispersed.

Flood Dragon Scale tablets may not sound expensive. In fact, there are very few Dragon Speciess in mainland China. The next step up from Flood Dragon is True Dragon, which is called Yalong and is even rarer.

As far as Hundred Thousand Great Mountains is concerned, the real Flood Dragon is the old dragon Black Water Great Marsh, not even a direct blood descendant.

Flood Dragon Scale tablets are really hard for most people to get.

Seeing that no one spoke, Song Changsheng sighed and walked towards an attic in the distance.

There are not many buildings in Black Market. Song Changsheng only saw three buildings. One of them is where the Space Teleportation magic circle is, and he was teleported there.

There is also a law enforcement agency belonging to Black Market, responsible for maintaining order in Black Market.

The last building was his destination. When he passed by, he found that many Black Robe Person had entered it. Nothing happened, so he might as well go in and take a look.

No one greeted anyone at the door. Song Changsheng walked in on his own and found that there were gray stones of different shapes inside.

Many men in black were walking among them, commenting on them from time to time.

"Stone Exhibition?" Song Changsheng frowned slightly, unable to understand.

I was thinking about finding someone to ask, when suddenly there was a noise.

Song Changsheng followed the sound and saw a group of people gathered together, discussing something excitedly.

This is a strange thing. Since he entered Black Market, he has found that everyone here cherishes words like gold, and even communication is often very short.

It was the first time that people like these gathered together for a lively discussion, which made Song Changsheng even more curious.

There happened to be a thin Black Robe Person passing by him, and he immediately asked, "Fellow Daoist, I'd like to ask, what is the business here?"

The man looked him up and down. "First time here?"

The voice is as beautiful as an oriole. She is a woman.

Song Changsheng Seeing that there is something going on, he quickly raised his hand and said, "Exactly, I hope fellow Daoist will give me some advice."

"Easy to say, have you seen these stones? These are special stones mined by Black Market from a place Ancient Battlefield.

Most of them are ordinary stones, but there are a very small part that contain fragments of artifacts, rare treasures Strange Treasure and so on.

So Stone Gambling was born. Whichever piece you like, you can buy it with Spirit Stone. There are professional cutters here to cut it for you, and whatever comes out is yours.

It may be worthless garbage, or it may be a priceless treasure, it depends on your eyesight and luck. "The woman explained to Song Changsheng very enthusiastically.

Song Changsheng suddenly realized that this guy turned out to be Stone Gambling. He had played in his previous life, and the hawker was cheated out of 2,800 yuan just by saying "fafafa".

"It turns out that people from other worlds also play, but seeing through the stone shell is not difficult for Foundation Establishment Cultivator's Divine Sense strength, right?"

When he asked this question, the woman immediately sneered, "If Black Market can be seen through, will it be sold? These are the ones left after they selected them, and they can isolate Divine Sense."

"That's it." Song Changsheng suddenly realized.

"Seeing that this is your first time to come here, fellow Daoist, you must not know how to choose. Come, come, come, let me teach you the essence of fellow Daoist Stone Gambling." The woman's unexpected enthusiasm made Song Changsheng a little suspicious of her motives.

However, he was also a little curious about this otherworldly version of Stone Gambling. Seeing the woman's familiarity with the road should save him a lot of detours, so he took a step forward and followed her.

The woman walked among the many stones with her hands on her back, and said confidently, "This is Stone Gambling. When you look at the shell, it must be full in color and not variegated. You can't ask for anything with cracks. I won't even want it if it's crooked and cracked."

She pointed at a stone with several fine cracks in front of her, her tone full of disgust.

"Secondly, it depends on the weight. You need to use your own experience to judge. You can only understand it but cannot explain it in words.

Thirdly, the sound is also very important. You can tell whether it is in stock or not by knocking on it. I think I used this trick to shoot a Exquisite Pagoda.

And..."

The woman talked a lot, which opened Song Changsheng's eyes to the fact that there are so many ways to do it.

"I've learned a lesson." Song Changsheng said sincerely.

"You're welcome, Daoist friend, if you have someone you like, I can take a look at it for you." The woman said confidently.

As a new arrival, Song Changsheng didn't want to throw Spirit Stone away, so he shook his head and said, "I want to take a look first."

"Oh, you rookies are just too cautious, but you don't know that wealth can only be found in danger. I will open your eyes today."

The woman's voice was very beautiful, but her words sounded like an old gambler.

As she spoke, the woman came to an oval-shaped stone. First, she got closer and knocked it, then she stretched out her hand and touched it up and down. After tinkering with it for a while, she suddenly said happily, "This one is in stock."

But Song Changsheng didn't see any difference between this and the surrounding stones.

"If it's a spiritual object, maybe you can use [Illusion Breaking Eye] to see it."

Thinking of this, Song Changsheng closed his eyes. When he opened them again, there was already a strange pattern in his eyes.

Turning his attention to the stone that the woman was interested in, Song Changsheng found a faint aura in it. It seemed that she had something to say, but she didn't know whether it was a loss or a profit.

He glanced at the stone and found a wooden sign next to it marked: "Five hundred pieces Low-Grade Spirit Stones".

It's really not cheap, after all, it's all in vain if you misjudge it.

The woman repeated her old trick and selected more than a dozen stones before stopping with satisfaction.

Song Changsheng After a rough estimate, she actually spent nearly 7,000 yuan Spirit Stone.

But she didn't even frown, and paid the bill very generously.

However, Song Changsheng mourned a minute of silence for him in his heart, because he had already seen it in advance. There were a total of sixteen stones, and only six of them had auras.

This person does have two brushes, but only two brushes.

If you can't get a big baby, I'm afraid you'll lose all your money this time.

Song Changsheng still has a good impression of her. Seeing her smug attitude, he couldn't help but politely said, "Fellow Daoist, why don't you open two first to see the market?"

Unexpectedly, the woman waved her hand and said, "Let's just say you are a rookie. It is still early and there are not many people around. If we don't get the good stuff in our hands early, where will I be when others come?"

Okay, this girl takes action, there is no reason to go short, she is fully open. "

The woman said very proudly.

Song Changsheng sighed upon seeing this and said no more.

Betting on dogs deserves no sympathy.
