Hot Commodity

As night deepened, the area outside the Yuanqiang Pharmaceutical Company became increasingly lively.

At first, only a few people visited, and the security guards opened the door and led them into the Inner Space. After nine o'clock, visitors began to arrive in twos and threes, and there was a steady stream of people. Around midnight, a small peak arrived.

At this moment, in the black market of the Different Space, there were nearly two thousand tourists. People were coming and going, and the sounds of conversation rose and fell, truly resembling a bustling market.

While strolling through the crowd, Ling Xin kept an eye on the merchandise at each stall, while also keeping an eye on her follower behind her, afraid that Luo Jun might get lost in the crowd.

However, Luo Jun was obedient and followed Ling Xin closely. But judging from his appearance, although he was very interested in the treasures on the stall, he only looked at the attributes and asked about the price each time. He was never seen to make a purchase, not even a Common-level treasure.

Is this guy really just here to broaden his horizons?

Little did she know that Ailongtan behind her was merely an Intelligence Collector for Luo Jun's main body.

Those who can set up stalls here have quite a lot of goods on hand. In addition to what is on display, many stall owners have some good items hidden in their Hundred Treasure Box that are not on display. You have to ask around to see what these treasures are.

Moreover, the trade is mainly based on barter, and as time goes by, the stall owners sell a lot of magical artifacts while also receiving a lot of new goods, so the items on the stalls are constantly changing. If you wander around and think you've seen everything, going back might just reveal many new surprises.

And Ailongtan is now Luo Jun's second pair of eyes. When he notices a valuable item, he will report it to Luo Jun in his mind, and then a mysterious man in a cloak will come to the stall to try to bargain.

In this way, by midnight, Luo Jun had purchased quite a few magical artifacts and further cleared out his inventory, even selling off the Hunter's Sin Handgun.

After all, it wasn't convenient for him to take out too many items at the academy's official exchange point. Even if the grade and quality didn't raise suspicion, the quantity was unreasonable. But here, he had no such concerns. He threw away a large batch of his most treasured items and exchanged them for a bunch of more practical and suitable gadgets for his current situation.

Of course, the main theme is still blue sky, green grass, and white clouds. Luo Jun has only collected one Chaos Key so far, which is Epic-level treasure.

It wasn't that the market lacked a full selection; it was simply that Luo Jun had rather high standards. At his current level of Combat Power, Epic-level weapons and armor were no longer of much use, and were also expensive. Comparatively, he valued highly functional treasures, so most epic-level items didn't meet his standards. As for Legendary Treasure Item, they were rare finds even in this large black market, priced even higher, and usually required another legendary treasure to exchange for.

Although Luo Jun had quite a few legendary items, they were all useful, and after careful consideration, there was no need to sell them to buy new ones.

"Boss, is this your best item?" Ling Xin was standing in front of a stall when Ailongtan, who was fiddling with an epic-quality pistol, asked curiously, "Not even a legendary one?"

Ling Xin glanced at it and thought to herself, "You came in and four or five disappeared without spending a single penny. You've got quite the nerve."

The shopkeeper was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then said, "Young man, you have good taste... Although I don't have a legendary item, I do have a hidden treasure that can rival a legendary one. I just don't know if you're interested and if you can afford the price."

"What is that?" Ailongtan raised an eyebrow, silently calling for his master to come closer.

The shopkeeper chuckled and took out a treasure from his Hundred Treasure Box. As soon as Ailongtan saw it, his eyes lit up, and his urgency grew even stronger.

He recognized this thing; in fact, its owner, Luo Jun, had once owned it...

Legendary Combination Module!

"This item is a consumable; it can combine two epic items into one Legendary Treasure Item," the stall owner explained. "Considering the cost itself, it's equivalent to exchanging three epic items for one legendary item, and you can even customize its functions to some extent! Such a fantastic item can be obtained with just two Epic-level weapons, or one epic item and five rare items—it's a great deal!"

"If it's such a good deal, why are you selling it outside?" Elontan Luo Jun looked at the combination module. "It says here that it requires similar Noble Phantasms to fuse. The conditions can't be too harsh, can they?"

After all, Luo Jun had acquired this thing before and was very familiar with its usage. Epic items were already rare for most people. Let alone relying on the monthly Chaos Mission, even browsing the black market wouldn't be easy to get two matching treasures, and you'd also need an equally Epic-level module... This thing was only attractive to powerful individuals with an abundance of treasures; most ordinary Cultivators, even if they bought it, wouldn't be able to use it immediately.

"Um... this..." The stall owner obtained this thing by fortuitous opportunity. He initially thought it could be used to customize legendary items and considered it a great treasure. However, he had kept it in his hands for a long time and had not been able to collect suitable treasures as combination materials, so he brought it to the black market. But he was still a little reluctant to part with it, so he did not take it out immediately.

Ailongtan immediately noticed his predicament and grinned, preparing to haggle a bit more. Even if he didn't buy it in the end, he could say that he had witnessed the two of them haggling when the owner came over, and he should be able to get it for a similar price.

However, before Ailongtan could continue his efforts, Ling Xin suddenly said, "Two epic weapons, deal!"

As she spoke, she actually took out a dagger and a short stick from her Hundred Treasure Box, both of epic quality!

"What?" The stall owner and Ailongtan exclaimed in unison. The former was surprised by Ling Xin's extravagant wealth, while the latter cursed inwardly, "That spendthrift woman has ruined my plans!"

But looking into Ling Xin's eyes, fixed on that Legendary Combination Module, she was filled with longing, seemingly determined to get it.

"These are both pretty good weapons!" After examining the two pieces of equipment, the stall owner looked at Ling Xin in shock. "A golden mask... you wouldn't happen to be the Golden Peak Witch, would you?"

"Don't worry about who I am, just give me the stuff as you said!" Ling Xin stretched out her hand to the stall owner.

"Alright!" The stall owner was all smiles and about to make the transaction when suddenly a long knife flew from the side and stuck in front of the stall. At the same time, a steel ring the size of a bowl was attached to the handle, which spun rapidly around the handle with the vibration, making a clattering sound.

Seeing this, Ling Xin frowned slightly and turned her head to look. She saw a young man with dyed Huang Mao and an arrogant expression walking towards her.

"You're not the only one with two epic weapons." The Huang Mao- haired man sneered, "I want this combo module!"

There were actually people bidding? The stall owner was so happy he was practically grinning from ear to ear, while Ailongtan, standing to the side, felt like he was about to vomit blood.

Why are there still people causing trouble?!
