After much talk and hard work, all kinds of methods were exhausted, and all kinds of means were used. Finally, Xu Ming finally forced Gu Hanmo to accept the key to the heavenly enlightenment chamber and four extremely precious pills.
As a result, Gu Hanmo, who originally couldn't even pass the sect's martial arts selection competition, suddenly enjoyed the full version of the "first disciple" treatment.
Oh, no, it's still three more pills than the first disciple.
"With the assistance of these external resources, Gu Hanmo's strength should improve by leaps and bounds in a short period of time!"
Although it is said that "it is virtue for a woman not to have talent", Xu Ming still hopes that Gu Hanmo's strength can be slightly stronger and the gap with himself will be smaller.
Gu Hanmo entered the Heavenly Level Enlightenment Chamber to retreat and cultivate. Now Xu Ming had no one to flirt with, and he suddenly felt bored.
"Let's go shopping in the black market in Wilderness City... Gu Hanmo's coming-of-age ceremony is next month, let's see if we can find any interesting gifts!"
Just leave.
As for the Liang clan, it seems that they wanted to take advantage of Xu Ming's departure from the Wilderness Sect to assassinate Xu Ming.
Regarding this point, Xu Ming just wanted to say - do I look like someone who is afraid of assassination?
Xu Ming even thought: "With the strength I showed in the sect's martial arts competition, those who dare to assassinate me are probably the elders of the Liang family's core condensation realm, right? Humph, I really want to see - those
What kind of treasures do elders of the Ningdan Realm have in their rings?"
Whoever dares to assassinate him will definitely be punished by Xu Ming.
…
The black market in Savage City is as lively and noisy as ever.
Xu Ming wandered along patiently.
"What kind of gift should I choose? I really have no idea..." Xu Ming's current state of mind is very similar to the state of mind when choosing a birthday gift for his first girlfriend for the first time.
I wanted to pick something unique and memorable, but after much deliberation I had no idea. Occasionally I saw a few unique ones, my eyes lit up, and I immediately rejected them: "No, no, the meaning is not deep enough..."
Now, Xu Ming was eager to find the most perfect gift to give to Gu Hanmo - no matter how expensive it was, it didn't matter.
However, Xu Ming kept shaking his head as he watched it, and it was clear that nothing satisfied him.
"Anyway, I still have plenty of time, so just go shopping casually! I don't believe it, I can't find anything I'm satisfied with!"
Xu Ming walked around slowly, stopping to think about it every time he saw something interesting.
"Thousand-year-old rosewood comb..." Xu Ming thought of Gu Hanmo's long black hair, and thought that if Gu Hanmo used this comb to comb his hair, he would be very beautiful.
However, Xu Ming immediately denied it: "This gift is too ordinary...Besides, does Gu Hanmo know how to use a comb?"
If this was a treasure-level comb, Xu Ming would still find it slightly more meaningful.
Treasure-level combs... I'm afraid they can only be found in all-inclusive artifact stores...
Of course Xu Ming also tried it, rummaging through things in the artifact store.
However, looking for gifts in an artifact store is very much like shopping online; compared with shopping in a physical store such as a black market, the experience is always a little worse.
Moreover, there are too many and too many things in the artifact store. Unless you know what you want in advance and then search for it, you will only be dazzled and you will not be inspired to find gifts at all.
In short, Xu Ming just went to the black market in Wilderness City to wander around.
"A mysterious stone bracelet with eight stars and eight arrows?" Xu Ming weighed it, "It's too ordinary...it's neither precious nor meaningful!"
Skip again.
Watching all the way, Xu Ming unexpectedly arrived at the door of a "profane clothes shop".
What is underwear? To put it bluntly, it is women’s underwear in this world.
"Uh..." Xu Ming couldn't help but stop, "Send this?"
Xu Ming had scouted Gu Hanmo before, so he knew Gu Hanmo's exact size. If he really wanted to buy it, as long as he quoted his size, the store would definitely pick it right.
Then Xu Ming shook his head violently: "Giving this... Gu Hanmo will beat me to death, right!?"
"And..." Xu Ming thought again, "It's been a long time since I've checked on Gu Hanmo... He's at the age where he's growing taller; maybe the size data I know is already too small."
Because Xu Ming is so picky, he didn't gain anything from his whole morning stroll.
By accident, Xu Ming came to the entrance of the slave market in the black market.
"Slave market..." In a world where martial arts are respected and fists are the law, it is easy for such a place to appear.
"Since I happened to be passing by, let's go in and have a look!" Of course, entering the slave market was not to pick out gifts, but purely to satisfy my curiosity.
Entering the slave market, there was no chaos like the live poultry trading market you imagined, but instead it was very orderly.
There are hundreds of "stalls" in the market, each stall is in an open space, with dozens or hundreds of chairs neatly arranged in a square array. Every slave, regardless of gender, old or young, sits quietly.
Sit in your seat and wait for your destiny.
"Well, you're all so obedient..." Xu Ming originally thought that he would see someone crying for his father and calling for his mother, but obviously he didn't.
Of course the slaves here are obedient, because those who are disobedient are still kept in a tame state and will not be released to the market. Those who are released to the market have already accepted their fate.
"This little brother!" Immediately, a sneaky dealer came up to him and pointed to his stall.
There were all young and beautiful women in his stall.
The thief dealer said: "The Lao Song boutique female slave shop only sells 'original high-quality products' with fair prices and good moral integrity. I support the Madam's inspection! How about you, little brother, come and pick a few?"
Xu Ming even waved his hand - What a joke, how could I be such a person!
When passing by this stall, Xu Ming couldn't help but glance at it and sighed in his heart: "If these beautiful women were in a peaceful world, I'm afraid they wouldn't have a very bad life! It's a pity that they live in this martial arts world.
The world of respect..."
Xu Ming could only sigh silently - saving thousands of girls? He didn't have the determination yet.
"Expert Slave Shop: only takes the high-end route, and only sells slaves with internal training level and above! They have been tamed, guaranteed to be obedient, and the price is surprising!"
"Slave shop for young men: specializing in the sale of young men and hard laborers for 30 years. It is an old brand and is trustworthy!"
…
After walking half a circle in the slave market, Xu Ming realized more and more deeply how bloody and cruel this world is.
If you are stronger than others, you can dominate others; if you are not strong enough, you may become someone else's slave.
"I'm so lucky..." Xu Ming couldn't help but thank Xiao Gua, "If it weren't for Xiao Gua, with my own talent and strength, I wouldn't be much better off than these slaves, right? Maybe even, maybe
He has died in Yunqi City a long time ago."
"There's nothing good to see after we leave..." Xu Ming simply came in to see the cruelty of this world, with no intention of buying or rescuing anyone.
After all, Xu Ming is not a saint. There are so many miserable people in this world, and he can't save them.
"Kindness is useless!" Xu Ming couldn't help but sigh.
Just as he was about to walk out, Xu Ming accidentally saw a pair of eyes.
These are a pair of black eyes, innocent and full of confusion, seeming to be wondering - why is the world like this?
