Madam, please respect my profession.

Chapter 152 Who in the Great Zhou doesn’t love Li Nu? The Lord of the Ghost Fire Palace in the Black Market

Night falls.

A bright moon hangs in the dark night sky, and the hazy white light spreads over the mountains and forests. The night wind blows through the forest leaves, making them rustle. The moonlight is like a dancing green gauze tent, swaying in the cold.

"Huh...are you nervous?"

Xie Chunyan was dressed very respectably tonight, with his hair combed into a mature style, which made him look more like a weathered middle-aged man, but he thought it was very beautiful.

"What's there to be nervous about?" Zhuge Chen was still the same young man as before, without any special dressing up.

Xie Chunyan tightened his belt, trying to show off his muscular waist to the fullest. He laughed and said, "There are enchanting beauties in the black market... hehehe..."

The obscene laughter of "Hehehe" echoed in the forest, startling a flock of birds.

The three of them soon arrived at Jinshui Town. Jinshui Town still looked ordinary, but under an old tree on the east street, there were two people sitting. These two people were responsible for examining bronze medals. Only those holding bronze medals could enter the black market.

The three of them took out the bronze medals and entered smoothly. They passed through the big willow tree barrier and found a different world inside.

This looked like a large commercial street, with shops lining both sides of the road and many stalls to the left and right of the shops. The atmosphere was bustling, but most of the people coming and going were cultivators, or wealthy people like Zhuge Qingya, who were obviously worth a lot of money.

“Stinky tofu, stinky and fragrant stinky tofu…”

There were shouting sounds coming from the street. Xie Chunyan's mouth twitched and he cursed: "Damn it, is the employment pressure so great now? Even the stinky tofu sellers come to the black market to buy?"

Lu Zhan took a closer look and saw that the guy selling black tofu had dark skin and snow-white teeth, but his true form was a loach.

It seems that the vendors around here are either monsters or cultivators, but they are all legal citizens.

In other words...you can't use this place as a leveling base.

"There's a pet seller in front, go take a look..."

Lu Zhan looked at the shop in front of him with an inexperienced look and walked towards that direction.

The immortal sects love to raise spiritual pets, but the Demon Suppression Bureau does not have this custom, mainly because they simply cannot afford high-level spiritual pets, and even if they can barely afford to buy them, they cannot afford to raise them.

The spiritual pets in this shop are not of high level. Most of them have just awakened their intelligence and are for people to play with.

This type of spiritual pet has almost no cultivation, but can entertain its owner.

Lu Zhan was a little disappointed. This spirit pet was obviously not targeted at cultivators, but at wealthy people with assets worth nearly 100 million.

Rich people are usually quiet and many of them like to fight with their pets.

"But Chun Ge can buy a carp back..."

This carp is very unusual and is a mutant species. Simply put, compared to ordinary carp, it not only has no teeth, but also has two tongues.

"Why do I need a carp?" Xie Chunyan's mind was full of the evil witch, and he looked at the carp in front of him with disdain.

Before Lu Zhan could say anything, he heard a familiar voice behind him: "Brother Lu is indeed a fellow practitioner. He even understands this."

But then a young man in gorgeous clothes with a rosy face came over. It was Zhuge Qingya. He was no longer as weak as when they first met, but was full of vigor.

It seems that the power of Tiger Whip Pill is indeed strong.

Zhuge Qingya walked in waving a fan, and exchanged a glance with Lu Zhan. Both of them had a look that said "you are worthy of me".

"Brother Lu, this raccoon is not bad either. His voice is very soft and sweet."

Zhuge Qingya was familiar with the place and pointed to a beautiful gray cat nearby.

The gray cat had a gray glow all over its body, and its eyes were like gray gemstones. It was licking its paws at this moment, and when it saw everyone looking at it, it made a "meow meow meow" sound, and the sound was indeed very soft.

Li Nu was very popular in Da Zhou. Who doesn’t like to tease kittens with snakes?

Lu Zhan felt a little regretful and shook his head: "Forget it, I have a skylark at home."

"Skylark?" Zhuge Qingya looked puzzled, and after a long while he said, "As expected of Brother Lu, you even understand such fancy things."

Lu Zhan: “?”

I don't understand what you said... What do you understand? Are you the King of Understanding? Lu Zhan smiled in response: "Brother Zhuge misunderstood."

"Hmm... Since Brother Lu is not planning to buy anything, let's continue shopping. There are many interesting places in this black market. I will take Brother Lu to a good place later..."

What Zhuge Qingya cared about most was whether he could regain his masculinity. Lu Zhan's elixir helped him do that and made him extra powerful. He now looked at Lu Zhan more intimately than his own father.

Seeing Zhuge Qingya's expression, Xie Chunyan became excited: "What are you waiting for? Let's go!"

Zhuge Chen said seriously: "I am not interested in women."

Lu Zhan looked at him deeply, then silently took a step back, keeping a safe distance from him.

However, this time he came to the black market not for the enchantress, but for something serious.

Lu Zhan asked, "Brother Zhuge, I heard that many blacksmiths don't like to show up in the mortal world, but prefer to appear in the black market. I wonder if Brother Zhuge has any tips?"

"Brother Lu wants to forge a magic weapon?" Zhuge Qingya was a little surprised: "As far as I know, Brother Lu has a weapon ranked 100th on the Divine Weapon List, so why would he want to forge a magic weapon?"

"I want to build something else." Lu Zhan winked at him: "As a man, you know."

The only advantage of dealing with someone like Zhuge Qingya is that you don't have to say too much. As long as you slightly guide him towards scenes that are not suitable for children, he will instantly show an "I understand" expression, and then he will not ask any more questions and will lead the way decisively.

Although Lu Zhan didn't know what he understood.

...

The further you go inside, the more lively it becomes, and the things sold are of higher quality. You can see people selling elixirs, talismans, magic tools, secret manuals, and even spiritual tea on the spot. The scene is as lively as the modern milk tea.

"Hiss... the couple selling demon meat, the man is actually a dayan at the peak of his mortal state... and the woman..."

Xie Chunyan was dazzled and said as he looked at the monster meat shop not far away.

Zhuge Chen asked alertly: "What's wrong with the woman?"

"The woman has a great body, big breasts and a nice butt." Xie Chunyan swallowed his saliva and sighed: "As expected of a demon clan, all of them are beautiful. I can't help myself..."

Zhuge Chen: “…”

Lu Zhan said unhappily, "Brother Qingya, please show him the way first and let him go there and have some fun."

Zhuge Qingya pointed to a red building in front of him and said with a smile, "Tell me my name when you get there, and I'll arrange for the youngest one for you... I heard that a snake demon came recently, and it was very ecstatic. I've already paid, Brother Xie, just go over there."

Nothing can enhance friendship better than inviting your brothers to whorehouses... Xie Chunyan rubbed his hands: "Are there any tigers? I like the more ferocious ones."

"Uh..." Zhuge Qingya thought for a moment and shook his head: "Tiger monsters are very rare, and there are no tiger monsters doing this job yet... But the snake monster is really good, and its tongue can be forked."

Zhuge Chen's face flushed and his eyebrows twitched fiercely. He could no longer bear it and said, "Stop talking. I'll take Brother Xie to choose."

"Don't you think you're not interested in women?" Lu Zhan looked at the serious Zhuge Chen, who was obviously impatient.

Zhuge Chen said solemnly: "I want to study the physiological structure of snakes, and I want to see what their forked tongues look like after they become humans..."

Lu Zhan: “…”

After Zhuge Chen and Xie Chunyan left, Lu Zhan and Zhuge Qingya went straight to the Ghost Fire Palace.

According to Zhuge Qingya, this is the largest manufacturing base in the black market.

...

In the early years, the Guihuo Palace was a well-known weapon refining family, but it was destroyed by the Black Water Sect a hundred years ago. Although the entire family was not wiped out, the situation was hopeless, and they gradually disappeared from the world.

Unexpectedly, after a hundred years, it revived and even expanded its business to the black market.

"It is said that the Palace Master of the Ghost Fire Palace is a girl, a descendant of the Ghost Fire Palace. The people there are not only good at making many magical instruments, but also very good at making some strange magical instruments."

Zhuge Qingya introduced enthusiastically, and when he mentioned the Palace Master of Ghost Fire Palace, his face showed greed.

Lu Zhan keenly grasped the key point: "The Palace Master of Ghost Fire Palace is beautiful?"

"She must be very beautiful, and I heard she is already ripe." Zhuge Qingya's face was full of regret: "But I have never seen her. I just had the honor of hearing her voice... That voice is indeed charming, making people feel numb and unable to extricate themselves, let alone a real person?"

The images of the two beauties, gold and silver, emerged in Lu Zhan’s mind.

If you ignore that face, both the voice and the figure are excellent...it's a pity that there is only that face.

And these days voices can be faked...what if the other party uses a sound card?

The Ghost Fire Palace is called a "Palace", but its actual scale is far from that exaggerated. It is just a towering attic. The attic is all black and very majestic, but it is completely different from the imagined palace. It looks more like a common pagoda.

The decoration inside is quite luxurious, with many beautiful magical instruments on display. Although those instruments cannot be compared with those of Zhenyuan Immortal, it can be seen that their quality is extraordinary.

Zhuge Qingya called the waiter over and gave him a few instructions, and soon a middle-aged man came to greet them warmly.

"You two gentlemen want to create magical instruments?"

The middle-aged man was at the early stage of the Xuanmiao realm, wearing a black robe. He did not look like a weapon maker, but more like a Confucian cultivator.

"I have a few materials that I want to use to make a magic weapon." Lu Zhan waved his sleeves and took out five things: snake bones, snake skin, fox bones, cat bones, and pig bones. "Do you have any recommendations?"

The middle-aged man was surprised to see so many mysterious demon bones. "Please wait a moment, gentlemen. I will go and call Mr. Shangguan Yun, the weapon master of our Ghost Fire Palace."

If the Ghost Fire Palace was still in its heyday, it would not be too surprising to see the demon bones of the mysterious realm.

But now the Ghost Fire Palace is only slightly famous in the black market. Lu Zhan took out so many materials at one time, and even two of them were demon bones at the peak of the Mysterious Realm. Naturally, he had to take them seriously.

Not long after, a dark-skinned man came out. He was about fifty years old. His realm was not as high as the previous one, but he had a special temperament.

He was wearing a simple coarse linen shirt, his hair was tied up in a mess, his face was untidy, and he looked very rough. His eyes were very sharp. It was Shangguan Yun.

Golden light flashed in Lu Zhan's eyes, and he saw the other party's true form, which turned out to be a black bear demon.

As the rumors said, some monsters are good at making magical weapons.

"This young master wants to create a magical weapon?"

Shangguan Yun simply ignored Zhuge Qingya and looked towards Lu Zhan with his sharp eyes, as cold as a vulture.

"Not bad." Lu Zhan showed a harmless smile and was not affected by his gaze.

Shangguan Yun looked at the five materials carefully, his eyes burning with excitement: "Such a complete snake skin is very rare, could it be that you are a night doctor?"

He couldn't tell what Lu Zhan's occupation was, but guessed it based on the snake skin.

No matter whether it was snake skin or other bones, they were all carved perfectly, without even the slightest trace left. This technique was not something that ordinary cultivators could possess, and it was rare on the market.

"You have a keen eye, old man." Lu Zhan smiled.

Shangguan Yun thought for a moment and said, "Snake skin can be used to make a defensive armor with defensive array patterns engraved on it. Although it is not invulnerable to all attacks, it is at least not afraid of water and fire, and has extremely strong defensive power."

"As for the snake bones, they can be used to make a long whip. The cat bones can be integrated into it and lightning patterns can be engraved on it. When it is wielded, lightning will flash... However, it is not suitable for the Night Doctor to use. If it is used by the Night Doctor, it can be refined into a poison weapon, but it is less powerful than the one with lightning patterns."

"Fox bones and pig bones can be used to refine small flying instruments. If they are engraved with flying array patterns, they will be very fast."

After all, Shangguan Yun was an experienced equipment refiner. He quickly explained the appropriate methods of refining these things and thoughtfully assigned their attributes.

The so-called array pattern is the means of the weapon refiner. For example, Lu Zhan's Thunder-controlling Plum Blossom Spear, if it does not have the lightning-inducing array pattern engraved on it, no matter how good its quality is, it is just an ordinary spear and cannot be considered a magic weapon.

Lu Zhan was thoughtful: "Both the armor and the whip are feasible, but can the whip be engraved with wind array patterns, and then refined into a poison whip? Then I can hide poison in the whip and use the wind to poison, which should be the icing on the cake."

"It is feasible, but its offensive power will be greatly reduced and it will be more of an auxiliary function," Shangguan Yun said frankly.

Lu Zhan said: "It's okay, let's do it this way."

He already has the Thunder Plum Blossom Spear as an offensive weapon, and it also has thunder patterns, so there is no reason for him to want the same one.

"But let's forget about the flying magic weapon for now. I have a flying magic weapon."

Of course Lu Zhan would never admit that he was afraid of heights.

Shangguan Yun felt a little regretful, and then said: "Okay, if you change your mind in the future, please come to the Ghost Fire Palace again."

"must."

Shangguan Yun took out a contract, which stated what materials were collected, what magical instruments were to be made, and agreed to pick them up in forty-nine days.

The two signed their names on it. In order to reassure the customers, the Ghost Fire Palace would present a palace bell, which contained a wisp of the soul of the weapon refiner. The customer would then use the palace bell to obtain the magic weapon.

If the Ghost Fire Palace breaks the contract, the location of the weapon refiner can also be tracked based on this palace bell.

"Ding-ling-ling—"

Lu Zhan looked at the palace bell in his hand, and was surprised at the ruthlessness of the Ghost Fire Palace. No wonder they were able to emerge in the black market after being destroyed. Their methods were indeed very tough.

This way, customers won’t have to worry about being scammed.

As long as the Ghost Fire Palace creates the magic weapons on time, it will naturally become famous.

"Cough cough cough—"

At this moment, a coughing sound suddenly came from upstairs. The voice was weak and should be made by someone lying on the sick bed.

Lu Zhan looked up and saw a woman in black sitting on the second floor. The woman was sitting behind a gauze curtain and there was the sound of a wheelchair moving.

"That's the Palace Master of our Ghost Fire Palace." Shangguan Yun briefly introduced him, and then said, "On the agreed date, you can come and get it."

"In that case, I'll take my leave then." Lu Zhan nodded slightly and followed Zhuge Qingya out of the Ghost Fire Palace.

After the two walked away, the frail girl in the wheelchair spoke softly, her voice weak and weak: "With so many mysterious demon bones, is he an official?"

Shangguan Yun bowed towards him and said respectfully, "Lu Zhan from the Demon Suppression Division."

“Cough, cough, cough—” The black shadow coughed even more violently, and it took a long while for him to calm down. He said weakly: “So it was him…”

Shangguan Yun nodded slightly, waiting for what to come.

The woman said nothing. The sound of a wheelchair moving was heard from above. When he looked up, he saw that the woman had left.

Shangguan Yun looked at the demon bones behind him with a fiery expression. Since the decline of the Ghost Fire Palace, he had not seen demon bones of such good quality for a long time.
