Chapter 1837 Underground Cave

Chapter 1837 Underground cave

After leaving Bailu Pavilion, Gu Yuan returned to his dormitory with a lot of dried meat that Yun Duoduo had prepared for him. After resting for a night, he left the sect early the next morning.

Yunduoduo's jerky is actually made by soaking it with various traditional Chinese medicines. It has a faint medicinal aroma and tastes unique.

It just so happened that the sect had a purchase from an outsider today, so Gu Yuan went out of Shanwai Mountain with the disciple from the outside sect who was in charge of the purchase.

After killing Liu Haoyu yesterday, Li Yao's thunder mirror fell into Gu Yuan's hands.

Gu Yuan studied this thing all night and finally decided to take it out and sell it today.

Firstly, the function of the lightning mirror is a bit useless for Gu Yuan, because activating the lightning mirror requires a lot of spiritual power, and Gu Yuan currently has limited pills, which are not cost-effective.

It would be better to sell it and exchange it for more elixirs.

Secondly, this thing is relatively sensitive, even though it was only seized after he killed Liu Haoyu.

But this thing came from Senior Sister Li Yao. Senior Sister Li Yao's brothers have probably seen it. They are all in the same sect, so sooner or later this thing will be a bomb in their hands.

Gu Yuan didn't want others to see him and misunderstand that he had killed someone to seize the treasure, and took the blame for Liu Haoyu in vain.

After the group left the mountain gate, Gu Yuan separated from the outer disciple who was in charge of purchasing.

Gu Yuan wanted to sell the lightning mirror in his hand and planned to go to the ghost market in Scarlet Flame City to see if anyone was willing to bid for it.

When Gu Yuan was walking in Chiyan City, he found that many people in the city were very polite to him.

Gu Yuan didn't know these people, so he was a little confused for a moment.

It was not until later that Gu Yuan and the others' eyes fell on his clothes, with envious expressions on their faces, that they remembered that he was still wearing the uniform clothes of the sect.

If you go to the ghost market, wearing sect clothes may cause unnecessary trouble.

Gu Yuan thought for a while, and after entering the city, he first found an inn, then a clothing store, changed into a set of ordinary clothes, and then headed to the ghost market in the city alone.

The ghost market in Scarlet Flame City can also be seen as an extension of the black market in Scarlet Flame City.

It is the best place for many people to deal with things that are not convenient for outsiders to know. Of course, most of these things have unknown origins.

When Gu Yuan was dealing with elixirs before, he went to the black market in Scarlet Flame City. The ghost market was more hidden than the Zhuyu black market. Almost everyone in the ghost market would subconsciously hide their identity.

Ghost markets in the Mysterious Realm are generally divided into two situations. The first situation is that this ghost market is a secret trading place jointly established by some local strong men.

Such ghost markets generally have better order, and both sellers and buyers can get better benefits and security. Selling fake goods in such a place is like breaking ground on Tai Sui's head, and the consequences are self-evident.

.

Such ghost markets usually have their own auctions. If the transaction amount is too large, the ghost market will send a considerable number of escorts to ensure the safety of the buyers.

However, if you want to enter a ghost market like this, you not only need to pay a high ticket price, but the seller who successfully sells the goods also needs to pay a certain transaction fee to the ghost market manager in proportion to the transaction volume.

Therefore, some cultivators who are not very well-off will mostly settle for the next best thing and find some ghost markets with relatively low thresholds for trading.

The second type of ghost market is more like some small trading gatherings, most of which are trading venues spontaneously established by nearby cultivators.

Only after it develops slowly can it reach a certain scale. At first, this kind of ghost market was in the form of barter, and there were not many rules.

There are both genuine and fake goods, and there is no guarantee of credibility. It is completely necessary for both parties to identify them. Both the seller and the buyer bear certain transaction risks.

If you don't have a pair of sharp eyes, you are very likely to be deceived here.

The ghost market that Gu Yuan visited this time belongs to this second type.

For Gu Yuan, the biggest advantage of this ghost market is that you only need to pay a small fee to enter.

After Gu Yuan changed his clothes, put on a ghost mask he bought randomly on the street, and came outside an old mansion in the west of the city.

Here, there was no one to greet him and lead the way. After passing through the old mansion overgrown with grass, Gu Yuan walked straight to the back garden of the mansion.

According to what he learned before, Gu Yuan pushed aside a clump of wall-creepers by the back garden wall.

Behind the thick wall-creeper vines, a stone passage comes into view.

On the stone walls on both sides of the passage, an oil lamp is hung at regular intervals to point out the way for cultivators heading to the ghost market. These oil lamps extend to the depths of the passage, giving it the feeling of a winding path leading to a secluded place.

This is one of the entrances to the ghost market that Gu Yuan wants to enter. There are many small ghost markets like this in Chiyan City.

It is said that in order to facilitate the entry and exit of sellers and buyers, and of course, the most important thing is for the safety of both parties, this ghost market has a total of more than ten such entrances and exits, making it easier for customers to leave as soon as possible after the transaction is completed.

Walking along the passage, Gu Yuan could clearly feel that the topography of the passage was going downwards.

If his estimate was correct, this ghost market should be open underground.

Sure enough, after about half a stick of incense, the lights were brightly lit at the end of the passage. There were two monks in black clothes, sitting at the railing at the end of the passage, waiting to collect the fee.

The two monks were quite friendly. They specifically told Gu Yuan that if Gu Yuan needed it, after the transaction was completed, the black market could send out a convoy to escort Gu Yuan away. Gu Yuan smiled and said nothing more.

After paying the fee, Gu Yuan quickly saw a noisy underground world.

Gu Yuan could roughly see the environment here clearly through the bonfires lit around him.

This should be the center of a certain mountain. It seems to be a large natural cave.

I don’t know who had the idea to put this black market here.

The cave has a large space, and the constant stream of traders keeps the cave from becoming empty.

Gu Yuan walked around and found that there were at least hundreds of stalls in the black market, with nearly a thousand people trading here! In order not to reveal their identities, everyone wore masks with grimaces similar to Gu Yuan's.

It's just that there is a lack of professional organizers here, so it looks very messy.

The size of the stalls set up on the ground and the items on the stalls all depend on the mood of the stall owner.

Some are very formal, with tables, chairs and stands, and various products neatly placed.

Some simply lay a piece of linen cloth on the ground and place a few products randomly, which is considered a stall.
