After traveling through the book, I conquered the male protagonist Long Aotian!

Qingyun City is worthy of being a big city, and it is extremely popular. No matter what season or time, the streets are always crowded with people, and you can even occasionally see some other races.

Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao were clearly here to buy things, but as if they had tacitly agreed not to go to the designated stalls, but instead ran around in front of stalls everywhere.

After both of them were tired of playing, Chu Lingxiao took Gu Qingze to a nearby herbal medicine store, swiped the card he gave him, and spent more than 2,300 Qingyun coins to buy the herbs he needed.

These are all low-level medicinal herbs. As long as you spend some money, you can buy them in the herbal medicine store, so Chu Lingxiao is not in a hurry. He wants to stay with Gu Qingze for a while longer.

Gu Qingze knew that Chu Lingxiao was so smart that he would definitely arrange his time reasonably. He was not in a hurry, which meant he had plenty of time. Since he wanted to play now, Gu Qingze would join him.

"Ling Xiao, have you bought everything?"

Chu Lingxiao swallowed his breath and said as if he had made up his mind.

"I still need to buy one on the black market."

“Do we have to go to the black market?”

"Yes."

Chu Lingxiao was walking around the stalls not just for fun, but also to check whether the last thing he needed was available on the market. Obviously, there was no such thing, so he had to go to the black market.

He decided to go and made preparations for a long time.

The black market was gradually formed in Qingyun City as the number of foreign population increased. It is a market used to trade items that are not allowed to be listed, or to conduct secret transactions at prices higher than the open market price.

There are great security risks in the black market, and there are many desperate criminals. The two of them are too weak, and they may encounter danger if they go to the black market.

"Can you tell me what the last thing you needed was? Maybe I can find a way to get it."

"The blood of Klinkodomon."

"…Then let's go to the black market."

Most of the Gu family's connections are in the spiritual weapon industry, and they don't really have any alchemists. Plus, he has never even heard of this Klinkodo beast. No need to guess, everyone knows it's a rare spiritual beast.

If he really had to get it, it was not impossible, it just would take some time. However, Chu Lingxiao needed this thing urgently, and it would not arrive even if it was expedited tomorrow.

Just as Gu Qingze was about to pull Chu Lingxiao in, Chu Lingxiao grabbed one of his arms.

"I'll go in by myself. I don't want you to... take risks with me."

"What are you talking about? Your business is my business, and I don't feel comfortable letting you go in alone. Even if I can't protect you, I won't abandon you."

Gu Qingze was sincere. He remembered that in the original novel, the hero was seriously injured when he went to the black market. He knew that with his current cultivation, it might be useless to go there. But when he knew that he would be injured, he couldn't just watch and do nothing.

His purpose of approaching Chu Lingxiao was no longer just to eliminate the male protagonist's hatred for him as it did at the beginning, so as to prevent himself from having a tragic ending like the villain in the original novel.

The more he understood Chu Lingxiao, the more he couldn't help but care about him.

He felt that he and Chu Lingxiao had established a deep friendship.

Chu Lingxiao probably also regarded him as a good friend, so he couldn't bear to let him take risks with him.

Gu Qingze suddenly took Chu Lingxiao's hand and held it tightly.

"Don't try to get rid of me and solve it yourself when you encounter a problem."

"Let's face this together, okay?"

Chu Lingxiao seemed very surprised that he would hold his hand. He was stunned for a while before nodding.

"Okay, we'll face it together."
