The biggest use of merit points is to buy special items that cannot be purchased with jade points. For example, materials with strategic significance, or special materials that are rare in quantity but have great effects, cannot be purchased directly with jade points.
Before that, Gao Xingyu spent more than 100 points of merit to purchase several rare materials, most of which were used in the "Xiang Si Suo" refined for Ying Baoer. Now he has obtained another 100 points, so there are still a few left in total.
Reach 400 points of merit.
"Xingyu, do you know about the black market in Miwuwa?" Zhong Yuanhao asked.
"I have heard of the Miwuwa black market and know that many of the materials in our Formation Hall were purchased from there, but I haven't been there yet, so I don't know much about it." Gao Xingyu replied.
"In another month, it will be the largest fog tide period in Misty Depression every year, and it will also be the time for the annual big trade fair there.
The Misty Depression is located two to three hundred kilometers northeast of Qunyu City. It is a large depression in the Liulan Hills. It is named after it is shrouded in mist at all times.
This kind of fog miasma has a certain corrosive effect and is very harmful to flesh and blood, especially spiritual consciousness, so it is not suitable for long-term living of humans or most orcs.
Therefore, this is a land without owners, with only some low-level animals and plants. After the formation of the black market, humans or beasts can enter and exit at will and trade freely as long as they can resist the corrosion of the fog miasma.
A large fog tide will form in the Misty Depression every year, which can last for half a month. During this period, the corrosiveness of the fog miasma greatly increases, and ordinary defense methods are ineffective. Only the local specialty Miasma Breaking Fruit can break it.
Miasma-breaking fruit is produced from the mutated camphor tree in the foggy depression, and will only mature on the eve of each fog tide.
During the fog tide period, which is the time of the big trade fair, several major forces around the foggy depression, including our Qunyu City, will consciously block the roads in and out of the foggy depression, raise the entry threshold, and prevent disruptors from breaking in.
At the same time, everyone will collect ripe miasma-breaking fruits, arrange for their family members to take them, and then enter the mist pit to participate in the trade. The orcs eat them directly, and we humans refine them into elixirs," Zhong Yuanhao said.
"How could a black market form in a place like this?" Gao Xingyu asked with some confusion.
When traveling in the Ancestral Star Realm, he also visited many black markets. Black markets were generally opened in Sangui areas, mostly in the wilderness. However, it is relatively rare for a black market to exist in a dangerous place like Misty Depression.
"The black market in Miwuwa was formed more than a thousand years ago. The initiator was not the human race, but the goblin race. I would like to ask fellow Taoist Xingren to introduce the reason to you."
Tian Xingren took over the topic and popularized science about Gao Xingyu: "...A caravan consisting mainly of goblins encountered space turbulence during the teleportation. The team was broken up, and some personnel and materials were teleported to the Miaochi Realm and fell into the mist.
Near the depression.
We all know that the goblin clan is good at doing business, but their own strength is not strong. However, the Miaoji Realm is restricted by the Earth Realm and cannot accommodate monks whose cultivation exceeds the Golden Core Stage.
Therefore, in order to survive, this goblin caravan, which had lost its masters and guards, spent a lot of money to reach a consensus with the surrounding forces and set the Misty Hollow as a trading area where the use of force was prohibited.
Usually, transactions are carried out at any time based on their actual situation. During the fog tide, many surrounding forces will put aside their grievances and come here to conduct large-scale transactions.
Time has passed and the goblin caravan has long since ceased to exist, but this tradition has been passed down and is still upheld by all parties to this day."
Gao Xingyu heard something from Tian Xingren's words, and asked: "That means that when the fog tide period comes, you can't just enter there, right?"
Tian Xingren nodded: "The black market in Miwuwa is an important window for us to contact the Orcs of the Miaoji Realm.
Our human race is an outsider. Relying on the unremitting efforts of our predecessors, it can be said that we have established a firm foothold in the world.
But if we want to develop in the Miaoji world for a long time, we can't just rely on force to deal with the local orcs, but we must also show appropriate tolerance.
Especially those orcs who are relatively friendly to the human race, we must maintain a certain degree of contact and communication with them so that the human race can smoothly integrate into the world of Miao.
The Black Market in Misty Wat is just such a window that can play a connecting role. Therefore, although the Alliance has not made a public appearance, it has been paying attention to the development of the Black Market in Misty Wat.
During every period of fog tide, the city lord's palace will send a semi-official trading team to the foggy depression to participate in the grand trade fair. The team will not only have official members, but also organize a group of people to participate in an individual capacity.
Since all parties attach great importance to the Grand Trade Fair, there will be many natural and earthly treasures that cannot be seen on ordinary days.
Therefore, the number of places to participate in the Grand Fair is limited and needs to be purchased with merit points.
Moreover, the city lord's palace will sell some items such as runes, talismans, spiritual food and spiritual wine that are of little use to the human race but very popular with the orcs for everyone to trade freely. Among these items
Many of them can only be purchased with merit points."
Gao Xingyu asked curiously: "When trading on the black market, are there any restrictions on the items that can be traded?"
"Theoretically, there are no restrictions for monks to trade on the black market. However, most of the monks participating in the trade fair tacitly abide by a default rule, which is that they will not sell items with powerful attack properties."
Gao Xingyu said he understood.
Don't think that talismans, talisman implements and magic implements that can be driven by vitality are exclusive to human monks.
There are many types of beasts. After evolving into wild beasts, many beasts can use their vitality. When they reach the wild beast level, there will be more and more beasts that can use their spiritual consciousness and vitality. Those who rely solely on their own physical strength will
On the contrary, there are very few orcs.
Generally speaking, the Orcs are far inferior to the Humans in their ability to utilize foreign objects, but there are some smart Orcs whose performance in this aspect is no less impressive than that of the Humans.
Although the orcs who come to the black market to trade are basically neutral or even close to the human race, no one hopes that the tools sold will not fall into the hands of the hostile orcs and eventually affect the humans themselves.
Therefore, any human monk who has the opportunity to enter the black market in Misty Wat will consciously abide by the above rules. No one wants to bear the bad reputation of being a "traitor".
"Having said that, I really want to go to the Miwuwa black market to have a look. Master Tian, how do I go through the relevant procedures?"
"Haha, what am I talking about? Xingyu definitely wants to go. However, this is the job of the City Lord's Mansion and is not under the control of the mission hall, so it is useless for Xingyu to ask Xingren. Let me help you handle it.
By the way, Xingyu, after arriving at Misty Depression, are you going to act alone or with the large army?
If you are afraid of trouble and plan to join the team, just let me sign up for you to join the official team. Our Formation Hall will send people to participate anyway."
