Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 139

Chapter 139 You Can’t Afford to Provoke

A few days later,

Li Changan, controlling his fake body, Li Fan, left Yellow Crane Immortal City.

Outside Yellow Crane Immortal City,

there was also a black market.

This one was much larger than the one outside Qinghe Market.

The variety and quantity of treasures were much greater, even second-tier treasures could be found.

“Some of the treasures are even cheaper than those found inside Yellow Crane Immortal City. They must be stolen goods that haven’t seen the light of day.”

Li Changan spent a long while browsing the black market, his eyes scanning the stalls. He

eventually bought two elixirs that aided Da Huang’s advancement.

Afterward,

he sold some treasures, mostly those from Cao Shaolin and Lu Yuanji’s storage bags that were of no use to him.

After completing the transaction,

Li Changan found a robbery cultivator named “Luo Baitong” in a corner of the black market.

He was known as a know-it-all, with extensive connections and good news.

He was a friend of Li Fan’s status.

“Fellow Daoist Luo, I have something to ask you.”

“Fellow Daoist Li?”

Luo Baitong was startled and looked him over.

“I haven’t seen you in a while. Where have you been making a fortune lately?”

“I just wandered around the secret realm,”

Li Changan casually replied.

Luo Baitong didn’t take it seriously, simply asking, “Tell me, what do you want to know?”

“Where can I get a second-level demon core?”

“Ask something practical!”

Luo Baitong was speechless.

Every appearance of a second-level demon core creates a sensation, bound to be discussed by countless people.

Why bother asking about it?

“All right.”

Li Changan didn’t hold out high hopes, simply trying his luck.

He asked again, “Fellow Daoist Luo, can you help me find some treasures suitable for an earth-based spirit beast to break through to the second level?”

“Break through to the second level?”

Luo Baitong glanced at him suspiciously.

Those who sought such treasures were generally cultivators who raised peak-level first-level spirit beasts.

And Li Fan, with his identity, had never publicly displayed any spirit beasts.

Li Changan explained, “I’m not asking for myself, but for a friend who doesn’t like the black market.”

“I see. It seems he’s a friend from the righteous side.”

Luo Baitong understood.

Being a Tribulation Cultivator doesn’t necessarily mean living in the shadows.

Many Tribulation Cultivators have positive identities and numerous righteous friends.

The reverse is also true.

Many seemingly righteous righteous cultivators may secretly be notorious Tribulation Cultivators.

“I do know some information about Earth-Elemental treasures suitable for advancement, but they’re difficult to obtain.”

Luo Baitong, a true know-it-all, quickly provided Li Changan with some information.

Deep in the Black Dragon Mountains outside the city, someone had sighted a plant called “Qiuqi Grass.”

This treasure can increase the success rate of Earth-Elemental Monster Beasts advancing by 10%.

However,

the Qiuqi Grass was guarded by a late-stage second-level demon.

“Late-stage second-level…”

Li Changan shook his head. This demon beast was beyond his ability.

Furthermore, deep in the

Black Dragon Mountains, where countless demon beasts abound, encountering a great demon was a dangerous possibility, far from his philosophy of cautious management.

The rest of the information Luo Baitong provided was similar.

Obtaining it was too difficult.

“Fellow Daoist Luo, is that all?”

“Fellow Daoist Li, I haven’t paid much attention to news in this area before, I will help you keep an eye on it in the future.”

“Thank you very much.”

Li Changan immediately took out a fire element treasure and handed it over as a reward.

Luo Baitong smiled and put the treasure away.

“Fellow Daoist Li is a straightforward person, don’t worry, I will do my best to help you!”

Taking money to do things is a principle since ancient times.

Those who take money but don’t do the work.

Most of them don’t have a good end.

For example, Zheng Jinbao.

“By the way, Fellow Daoist Luo, I want to inquire about some information.”

“Daoist Li, tell me!”

“I want the Blood Tempering Stone and the Bone Tempering Grass. I just looked around the stalls and could only buy two very small pieces of Blood Tempering Stone.”

“Daoist Li, you’re asking at a good time!”

Luo Baitong’s smile widened.

He explained that

a small trade fair was currently underway,

and a Blood Tempering Stone half the size of a human head had appeared, more than enough to satisfy Li Changan’s needs.

“Daoist Li, quickly follow me! The Blood Tempering Stone is being auctioned off, and the highest bidder wins!”

Luo Baitong had left a puppet at the fair, so he could keep up with the action.

Li Changan immediately followed.

A moment later,

the two of them passed through a secret door in a corner of the black market and entered a separate area.

Within this area,

there were over twenty people, most wearing masks, though a few revealed their faces.

A closer look revealed that they were almost all notorious Tribulation Cultivators.

At this moment,

most of their attention was fixed on one of them.

The man held up a scarlet stone, the Blood Tempering Stone, and announced loudly,

“Everyone, this Blood Tempering Stone is quite valuable. It can be used for body refining, weapon refining, or even formations. A fellow Daoist has already offered two thousand Spirit Stones.”

“Anyone offer higher?”

Hearing this, several people present hesitated.

Two thousand Spirit Stones—

even a cultivator in the late Qi Refining stage would find it difficult to come up with all of them at once.

Therefore, those still bidding were mostly cooperative bidders,

with several people making a joint bid and then dividing the price equally.

After all, this Blood Tempering Stone is large enough.

If it weren’t for body refining, it wouldn’t require much.

“Two thousand one hundred Spirit Stones!”

Li Changan bid hurriedly.

As soon as he finished speaking, several scrutinizing eyes fell on him.

“So it’s Li Fan.”

“Where did this kid make a fortune recently to be able to offer so many Spirit Stones?”

whispers rang out, each voice tinged with greed.

Li Changan didn’t care.

It was just a fake identity, so being targeted wouldn’t matter.

If these people were blind enough to actually attack him, he wouldn’t mind making his storage bag richer.

“Two thousand two hundred spirit stones!”

A cold voice rang out, raising the price again.

Li Changan immediately followed.

“Two thousand three hundred spirit stones!”

“Two thousand four hundred!”

The cold voice rang out again.

The person bidding the price looked at Li Changan coldly, a hint of threat in his eyes,

as if warning him not to bid again.

But Li Changan didn’t hesitate.

“Two thousand five hundred!”

“Two thousand six!”

The man spoke again, a hint of anger in his voice.

He seemed to think Li Changan was deliberately arguing with him.

This piece of Blood Quenching Stone was not worth two thousand six hundred at all.

Li Changan was about to speak again

when

Luo Baitong tugged at the corner of his clothes and spoke to him.

“Friend Li, that man is the eldest of the three Blood and Fire brothers. The two beside him are his brothers. All three of them are in the late Qi Refining stage. You can’t afford to offend them. Forget it. I’ll slowly look for the Blood Tempering Stone later.”

The Blood and Fire brothers were well-known Tribulation Cultivators in this area.

All three brothers were extremely powerful.

Few ordinary Tribulation Cultivators would dare to mess with them.

But Li Changan didn’t care.

“I’ll slowly look for it later?”

He didn’t want to waste time and energy.

There was a stone right in front of him. He just needed to buy it. Why wait until later?
