All the characters in the ghost market are hiding, but no one wants to get to the bottom of it.
The goods in this market are basically only half the price of those in outside trading houses. If you can buy them and sell them outside, you will basically make a huge profit.
Of course, you need to take certain risks. If you have good connections, there will be no problem at all.
This is a treasure mountain.
If you don't have strong connections, many of the products here are related to large trading houses. Once they are sold and people are looking for them, you may suffer big losses.
In fact, the people who sell goods here in the ghost market are already considered to have insufficient connections. They don’t have many connections in other areas and it is difficult to sell the goods in their hands, so they sell them here at low prices to make a little profit.
Small money.
Of course, it is also because of the low-keyness, concealment, and intricate relationships here.
Therefore, not only supplies from merchant ships are sold here, but also many hidden items from people from all over the world are sold here.
Because the people here have a vague relationship with the government, transactions here are often not disturbed by others.
Many people who wander in the gray area like to bring their own items here to trade goods. They don't come here to take cheap items off the merchant ships.
He is not very interested in luxury goods, nor does he have much demand for herbs and various rare treasures from all over the world. What he is really interested in is this thing hidden in the gray area.
A dragon inner elixir that is about to be sold.
Based on the specifications of this trading market, special substances such as Jiaolong Neidan will not appear under normal circumstances.
Really better, more expensive, and higher-standard items are sold in other higher-level markets and will not be sold openly. Even in this ghost market, they cannot be sold openly.
Come up.
There are specialized people who will filter the good items and control them well overall. In other words, over the years, the dark forces have reached a certain balance with the official power on the surface. Contraband items that are of too high a standard will not be dumped.
Come up here.
Usually it will be placed on the table of a noble person in Jinyiwei, Liumenmen or the local yamen.
But sometimes there are exceptions, because many people regard the ghost market in Jiujiang County as a kind of gray area, and the special items that many people get will be renamed and sold here.
The Jiaolong Neidan that Zhang Mingtu currently needs is available at Gui Market in Jiujiang County.
But it's not through normal means, but through a makeover.
It is installed on the abdomen of a wooden puppet. If I remember correctly, this wooden puppet is already in a semi-destroyed state and basically cannot be used.
Later, by chance, I purchased this wooden puppet and studied the unique puppet technique above. After completing my research, I threw the wooden puppet aside.
It was accidentally broken into pieces by his servants, and the dragon inner elixir inside was discovered.
And this servant was rewarded and embarked on the path of spiritual practice.
Later, he even became a famous genius in the world, and the story of his rise in his early years was discovered and attracted everyone's attention.
Well, this character who has some of the protagonist's templates once traveled in Kyoto, and was defeated by Ding Yuan, the famous magic sword in Kyoto at that time.
Then this man went to look for Li Chenzhou, the invincible Iron Fist, and was defeated again. However, this man's physique also surprised Li Chenzhou.
Later I learned that this man had some dragon blood in his body and was born with a strong body, so he was able to obtain the dragon inner elixir from the wooden puppet in his early years.
Because of this, he later became famous all over the world.
Well, that's actually not the case. Mingtu doesn't actually care much about his defeated generals.
The reason why I later learned about this character named Yang You was because there was a lack of corresponding cultivation resources after the Nine Transformations of Dragon and Snake were deduced. He relied on the relationship between Donglin Temple, Jinyiwei, and Liumen to transform the famous man who had been famous for decades.
All information related to dragons is gathered together.
It's not difficult to do this, it's quite simple.
With the identity and status of Zhang Mingtu's future brother, it is easy to learn this information, and it does not involve top secrets. The Jin Yiwei and the Six Doors in various places are very cooperative.
If you look through the past files, you can give Donglin Temple a favor to a master who is at the top of his game.
Everyone thought it was a good deal, and so did Zhang Mingtu.
According to the relevant file information given, the wooden puppet first appeared in the ghost market in Jiujiang County.
Zhang Mingtu happened to be in Jiujiang County, and the wooden puppet appeared in the Jiujiang County Ghost Market. This was not a coincidence, because Zhang Mingtu focused on reading the information on Jiangnan West Road and Jiujiang County, and he had the most stringent requirements for these information.
Because Zhang Mingtu is near Jiujiang County, there are more requirements for these materials. In fact, in terms of quality alone, the Jiaolong Neidan from Kyoto and some border areas is more precious and better.
Along the southeast coast, in the area where Suzhou is located, even a master-level dragon was killed.
It caused a major shock in that area. Many alchemy masters went there to search for materials. Even the royal family and some aristocratic families had a demand for this dragon.
The body of a true dragon, which can greatly enhance the ability to break through to the realm of the Martial Saint, is extremely curious. Even if it has failed for many years, many people still want to try it.
The royal family of Daxia and the nobles of the aristocratic families have never stopped thirsting for the blood of the Four Saints over the years, and even many people with inferior physiques are pursuing exploration.
In terms of top-level physiques, they are not without gains, and they still have some achievements.
At least as far as Zhang Mingtu knows, many aristocratic families have people with superhuman physiques.
What troubled Zhang Mingtu was that he walked around the ghost market and found no trace of the wooden puppet.
After carefully recalling the relevant memories, Zhang Mingtu looked up a lot of relevant information almost twenty years later, even with the great help of Jinyiwei and Liumenmen.
It is still inevitable that there will be some omissions and not so detailed.
It is true that the area where the inner alchemy trade is recorded is in the ghost market.
But the time is relatively rough, it is only in this month, after all, the dragon inner elixir is the reason for the rise of the genius Yang You.
After all, the person who obtained the wooden puppet was Yang You's current master, a figure in the Jiujiang County gang. Although his status was quite extraordinary, he was only used as a foil in this matter, a person who paid for the puppet.
Typical of beads.
Therefore, the records are relatively not very detailed.
It's this month, but the transaction shouldn't be completed yet.
Zhang Mingtu walked around again and bought some herbs here that could be used with the dragon inner elixir to guide the blood transformation in the body, but he still found no trace of the wooden puppet.
Zhang Mingtu checked the corresponding antiques, second-hand markets and even artifact trading markets, but found nothing similar.
Although Zhang Mingtu is still at the fifth level of marrow cleansing and blood exchange, his knowledge should surpass that of many people. If there are really traces and something fishy in the artifact.
He believed that he could definitely see with his own eyes that the inner bladder was where the puppet's abdomen was.
Unfortunately, what made Zhang Mingtu scratch his head was that after walking around for a whole time, he didn't find any puppets here.
Feeling depressed, Zhang Mingtu walked around again and saw that there were still not many clues, so he was about to go home.
There have been a lot of things going on in Jinyiwei's side recently. Originally, as a civilian, you could often catch fish, but recently, due to inexplicable misunderstandings, many people have taken him seriously and regard him as the most loyal supporter of Xue Cheng's lineage.
As Xue Cheng's status rose, Zhang Mingtu naturally received a lot of enthusiasm.
People often come to visit him, and some people even take the initiative to ask for an official position from him.
Through this test, they wanted to know whether Zhang Mingtu was Xue Cheng's white glove.
Zhang Mingtu was quite speechless about these things.
When he turned around and was about to walk out of the antique store, a sturdy man walked into the store. Although the strong man wore a mask on his face and a cloak on his head, his fierce and wild temperament was still easy to express. If
If there are acquaintances, his appearance can basically hide it from other people.
Sure enough, when he just walked into the store, Zhang Mingtu was originally here, but the shopkeeper who was sitting behind the counter suddenly changed his expression and smiled.
There was a chrysanthemum squeezed out of his thin face.
"Boss Hong, what do you want this time?"
The strong man didn't even look at the dazzling array of goods displayed in the store. He just said in a loud voice: "Are there any good new goods recently? I have gone through all the things I collected before."
"Just wait, there happened to be a batch recently!"
As he spoke, the shopkeeper accidentally glanced at Zhang Mingtu, who was still standing there, with some complaints in his eyes. This familiar customer is here, so he has no eyesight?
Didn't you see me, the shopkeeper, entertaining old customers? If you don't leave quickly, why are you staying here?
Zhang Mingtu's eyes lit up when he saw such a scene, and he suddenly remembered what he had overlooked.
According to relevant records, the wooden puppet was in tatters and was not taken seriously by anyone. It was casually placed on vendors for sale, and someone accidentally took advantage of it. This story sounds quite legendary, and
Let everyone feel a sense of recognition, as if they themselves have a chance.
Maybe one day when I go into the mountains to collect medicine, I will find a dragon blood grass and jump off a cliff to get top martial arts secrets?
The overall story is more communicable, but the logic is self-consistent and not contradictory.
After all, the wooden puppets were later damaged by a servant who had no experience in spiritual practice, and only then did they discover the inner elixir of the dragon inside.
But now looking at Zhang Mingtu, there may be some differences.
A broken wooden puppet that seemed to be able to compete with the realm of true energy when it was complete. Judging from Zhang Mingtu's knowledge at the time, it should be nothing.
Even if a wooden puppet is intact in front of him, he will not bend down to pick it up, let alone a broken one. But if the wooden puppet is in Jiujiang County, in this ghost market, even if it is broken, it is quite valuable.
of research value.
After all, people's identities are not the same.
"Although there are hidden traces in the ghost market, some familiar customers still have special contact information compared with time. Many goods may only be circulated among acquaintances. My face is still too unfamiliar.
"There may be no problem in trading ordinary goods. Neither party cares about their identity, but some more precious special items require verification. This is a problem."
Zhang Mingtu saw all the attitude and movements of the shop owner, and he instantly understood that this kind of hidden trading place did not mean that there was no threshold. In fact, the threshold was also quite high.
Seeing the shopkeeper lingering in the same place without going to the back room, the strong man in the cloak also stopped and glanced sideways at Zhang Mingtu, knowing that they were chasing people away, but Zhang Mingtu had no intention of leaving, but smiled.
Yi Yingying's palms turned over.
"I'm also very interested in these antiques. I wonder if we can go visit them together..."
"Join you..."
"Okay, okay!"
The stout man was about to curse as soon as he opened his mouth. However, when the shopkeeper saw the jade bottle in Zhang Mingtu's hand and glanced at the kit bag at Zhang Mingtu's waist, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
The jade bottle was surrounded by a rich fragrance, and a drop of crystal-clear blood shone in it.
It is obviously a drop of blood essence of a monster that has been refined to an extremely pure level. It can be used to make elixirs or even taken directly. It will be of great benefit to practice.
Not to mention, when the young man turned his hand over, there was an extra jade vase, which obviously contained treasures for storage. From this point of view, his net worth was extremely extraordinary. It would not be a problem for us to go to the back and take a look at the collection together.
This is also a big fat sheep and cannot be ignored.
The shopkeeper laughed and whispered a few words beside the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man snorted dissatisfiedly, but still didn't say anything.
With the shopkeeper leading the way, the two of them walked into the back of the house. The back of the house was obviously larger than the hall in front of his hall, and the small courtyard was filled with various bits and pieces of items.
Unlike the neat and shiny houses in front of them, many of them were dilapidated and looked embarrassed.
But Zhang Mingtu's eyesight was a little brighter. Although the antiques placed in the hall in front of the hall seemed to be in complete condition and bright and beautiful, most of them were from relatively recent dynasties, and they were not precious. They were just beautiful in style.
More suitable for display in the exhibition hall.
There are a lot of bits and pieces in the small courtyard here. Many of them are in poor appearance, but they basically contain spiritual energy. There are also some strange patterns of heaven and earth on them. It is obvious that they were relatively special artifacts when they were complete.
The middle-aged man looked around carefully for a while and suddenly sneered.
"Shopkeeper Wang, I'm afraid the origin of these things is not very good. Why do I feel the Yin Qi above? Is it coming from below?"
Zhang Mingtu remained silent, and he also discovered this.
What follows is of course slang, but the meaning is very simple and clear.
These goods placed in the small courtyard seem to come from a large tomb, and there are indeed evil spirits and yin energy above them.
