Chapter 432: First Entering the Underground Black Market
Ten days later...

An ordinary low farmhouse, with irregular stones pressing down on the thatch, the earthen walls were mostly rotten, and tenacious weeds were growing in the cracks.

The young man stood in front of the door, leading the bull, and next to him was the martial artist who escorted him home.

"Uncle, why don't you go in and have a drink of water?"

The martial artist shook his head. He had not made this arduous journey just to drink water.

If it weren’t for the scene he saw in Sogo City, the young man would have been just an ordinary coolie or farmer to him.

"Now, you should complete the last thing the old immortal did."

The young man reacted as soon as he heard it, took out the mouth band he treasured from his chest, and muttered, "Open your pocket, open your pocket."

The thin string at the drawstring opened, and the pocket suddenly swelled up, quickly expanding to a hundred times its size, and as expected, it finally burst.

Like a bubble rising in the sun and then bursting.

There was a rainstorm in the sky, and the ground was covered with "raindrops". Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be leaking stones.

The martial artist covered his chest. This was not an illusion, definitely not an illusion.

He had sharp eyesight and with a quick glance he calculated that there were exactly 112 stones under his feet.

This number is exactly the amount of spilled rocks that the young people moved in the open-pit mine.

It turned out that the leaking stones that disappeared out of nowhere were all hidden in the young man's pocket and were carried close to his body all the way back to his hometown.

But, how is this done?
The martial artist suddenly came to his senses and lay on the ground looking for the whereabouts of the fragments. He realized that compared to the leaky stone, the pocket that could hold the leaky stone was the real priceless treasure.

If he could master this treasure, he could become a wealthy man by doing business within 10 years.

After a moment, the martial artist had a handful of debris in his palm, looking thoughtful.

It was getting late when the young man's father and mother returned from the fields. When they saw their son bringing home so many leukoplakia stones and heard the price they could be sold for, they were so excited that they couldn't sleep all night.

After selling these leaking stones, he could build three tiled bungalows, marry a wife, and pay off his grandfather's debts...

And all this was because the young man was kind-hearted and gave a cow ride, tea and noodles to an old man on the roadside.

"Do you know how much these leakstones are worth?"

The martial arts master suddenly asked the young man, "100 taels, this amount of money is nothing to me, but for your family, are you sure you can protect this huge sum of money?"

The young man was stunned!
This is exactly what the martial artist wanted. He spoke slowly, "As you can see, there are bandits and wild beasts everywhere along the way. Without my protection, you can't bring the things back."

This statement is an overgeneralization. The young man could have gone home alone with just the palm-sized bag, and his role was just to add icing on the cake.

The young man's parents were also frightened because they had heard a story in the neighboring village where an entire family was killed by robbers.

"Master, please save my life."

The martial arts master said softly to the young man, "You and I are destined to be together. So, I am willing to take you as my disciple and teach you boxing skills. How about that?"

The young man immediately knelt down and kowtowed, bang bang bang!

The martial artist was thinking that Yan Ping, the stone-opener, was no longer the same as before and actually knew how to repay a favor. He wanted to get the storage pocket from him, and this young man was a link.

Grabbing it first can be considered as a precautionary measure.

Since he accepted the young man as his apprentice, he had to take responsibility to the end. First, he helped the young man sell the leaky stone safely, and then, as an elder, he helped him propose marriage, so that the young man got his wish and married Xiaohua.

Finally, he told the young man that if he wanted his family to live a good life, he had to continue selling leaky stones.

If you want to move a large amount of leaky stones, you have to go back to Chongguang City and find the old man. "Master, I think the old immortal will not see me. Now I understand that he asked me to move the leaky stones just to test me."

The young man expressed his opinion, "I am useless. If I had eaten more, I might be able to move a few dozen more."

"The pocket he gave me was filled with rocks that I could move. This was the old immortal reminding me that people should not be too greedy and should only take what they can take."

The martial artist raised his palm, and after a long while, he lowered it and patted the young man's head. "Start practicing boxing with me tomorrow!"

He thought to himself that he would just let things take their course, and after this fake-turned-realist apprentice had learned some skills, he would go to Sogo City to try his luck.

In fact, even if the martial artist returned to Sogo City and turned the underground upside down, he would not find the old man.

Zhou You's amazing performance in the open-pit mine had a ripple effect afterwards.

Also present at the time were the martial artist's companions, as well as other residents from near and far who were picking up leaked stones.

These people spread the matter as a rumor, and it gradually attracted attention from all sides.

The extraordinary ability to hide things in the void is not something that Quanwu can do, and some people even began to inquire about Zhou You's identity.

The purpose has been achieved.

In time, the people of the Golden Immortal Sect in Chongguang City will inevitably track down his whereabouts, thus exposing his identity.

Therefore, Zhou You chose to hide his second alias temporarily and wait for time to ferment.

The task was given to Lu Zhigang, who entered Chongguang City shortly afterwards and took Mo Yunzi's place in the active state, searching for the underground black market.

The underground black market accounts for 80% of Sogo City’s trade volume, and the daily flow of people and goods is enormous.

Anything imaginable can be bought and sold on the black market, including drugs, human beings, and even the ownership of martial arts schools.

Rumor has it that the most expensive item ever sold at an underground auction was a city.

So arrogant!

Zhou You was amazed by this. Of course, he also knew that buying and selling was only one link. It was not the end just to get the item. He also had to keep it and digest the related interests for his own use.

Even so, the wide variety of goods in the market still opened his eyes.

The underground black market in Sogo City is actually hidden behind the seemingly ordinary shopping streets and markets.

All you have to do is find an introducer, reveal your identity as a warrior, and after confirming that there is no problem, you will be led through the streets and alleys, and after turning a corner, you will appear on a familiar yet unfamiliar street.

That means the black market has arrived!
"It's time to buy or sell intelligence. It's time to buy or sell intelligence. Are you buying or selling?"

“The one that has been sought the most recently and offered the highest price is the identity of the old man in the open-pit mine.”

"Oh, this is your first time buying intelligence, right? Empty words won't sell anything. You need to produce real evidence to back it up. Then we can discuss this!"

Zhou You continued walking forward and saw a shop with a sign that read "Human Power Dental Shop". A martial artist with a fierce look on his face was locked at the door. The chain as thick as a fist turned out to be a magical weapon of qi and blood.

This shop trades slaves. The martial artist at the door is their sign. Their main business is martial artists who are in debt and cannot afford to exchange them, mostly martial artists with strong strength, qi and blood.

Although there are martial arts business, ordinary people cannot access it unless they are VIP users.

This underground black market is truly a place of chaos, with human trafficking openly taking place. The dignity of warriors is not worth mentioning here.

"Sir, would you like to buy a copy of the Northern Xuanzhou Hundred Beauties List, an authoritative publication of Qianmiantang?"

Zhou You had just taken a few steps when a black monkey-like boy stuffed a booklet into his hand and asked for money. "One tael for each book."

Are there people selling pornographic books?
