Madam, please respect my profession.

Chapter 153: The rich monsters eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks, while the poor monsters come out to set up stalls

The black market was brightly lit. From afar, the lanterns looked like stars, blending into a sea of ​​lights in the dark night.

"The Lord of the Ghost Fire Palace is suffering from an illness?"

Lu Zhan looked back at the Ghost Fire Palace. The black building stood like a pagoda in the darkness, and it was surprisingly solemn.

He just heard clearly that the "Palace Master" in the high pavilion had uneven breathing, which must have been caused by his long-term illness in bed.

Who would have thought that the master of the Ghost Fire Palace, which has re-emerged in the black market, is actually a sick beauty.

"The Palace Master of the Ghost Fire Palace is named Ghost Fire Liuli. Although she escaped the catastrophe that wiped out her family, she was seriously injured. This is known to many people, but the details are unclear. I don't know what means she used to get involved in the black market."

Zhuge Qingya was still savoring the woman's soft, gentle voice. That kind of weak and morbid beauty was actually very touching.

Lu Zhan narrowed his eyes: "Isn't that the Black Water Sect's mortal enemy?"

Although we don't know the reason, it is a fact that the Black Water Sect destroyed the Ghost Fire Palace. This is an eternal feud.

Now that the Ghost Fire Palace bloodline has re-established itself in the black market, will the Black Water Sect turn a blind eye?

Even though there are many forces behind the black market, the second-rate people of the Black Water Sect will find ways to cause trouble and will never allow the Ghost Fire Palace to revive. But now it has not only revived, but also burned beautifully.

It seems that Guihuo Liuli has a powerful background.

"Brother Lu, why do you care about their affairs? Are you interested in going to the Yaoji Building to take a look?"

Zhuge Qingya had been looking forward to it for a long time. He was even more excited by the sick beauty's shouts just now, and he couldn't wait to take up his gun and commit the crime.

Lu Zhan waved his hand and said, "I want to go shopping again. Brother Zhuge, please go ahead."

"Well, please go ahead, Brother Lu. If you need anything, just come to find me at Yao Ji Tower." Zhuge Qingya was not polite. He was a free and easy-going person, and he didn't need so many small talk and courtesies when doing things. When he heard Lu Zhan say this, he didn't bother him.

Lu Zhan continued to wander around the black market. He didn't come to the black market for Yao Ji, but purely to gain some experience, which might be useful in the future.

Besides, he now has a wide range of interests and has many elixirs and poison pills. If he can find a regular sales channel on the black market, he will be able to live comfortably for at least a long period of time.

"Sure enough, there is a pharmacy that sells elixirs..."

As Lu Zhan was walking, he was attracted by the hustle and bustle in front of him. It turned out that someone was selling health-enhancing pills.

There were a lot of people gathered around, and the noise was bustling and noisy.

"Professional alchemists refine the pills, and each pill only costs thirty taels of silver. After taking it, you will feel powerful. As long as you take it for a month, you will be able to transform perfectly. It is the best choice for strengthening your virility!"

The waiter called out enthusiastically, with more than twenty pills in front of him.

Lu Zhan found it interesting and went to take a look. It turned out to be a pill made from many tonic herbs. It could indeed replenish the body, but the effect was very weak.

Sticking to it for a month may not necessarily produce any real effect. If you really want to enhance your sexual performance, it would be better to take a strengthening pill.

But there were quite a few people surrounding them. These people were not cultivators, but wealthy people of ordinary means.

Only people like this are the easiest to deceive. Since they have money at home, they naturally want to keep fit and even prolong their lifespan. Therefore, "body-strengthening" pills are particularly popular with them.

"Sir, would you like to buy something?" The waiter greeted Lu Zhan warmly when he saw him.

Lu Zhan smiled: "I won't buy it, but I have this kind of elixir here and I want to sell it. Will the clinic accept it?"

Ever since No. 1 was killed by him, the strengthening pills he had previously refined have never been of any use. Now is a great opportunity.

Lu Zhan took out a health-strengthening pill and showed it to the waiter.

The waiter was a connoisseur of goods and quickly invited Lu Zhan into the store.

Soon the shop owner came over in person and asked, "Sir, do you want to sell me some pills?"

"That's right, boss. Can you tell me how much it's worth?" Lu Zhan waved his sleeves, and two white porcelain bottles appeared.

"Wait a moment." The shopkeeper bowed, picked up the tonic pill and examined it carefully for a moment, then said, "The quality is indeed good. If you sincerely want to cooperate, I will give you ten taels of silver for each pill."

Lu Zhan smiled and said, "The effects of those body-strengthening pills sold outside are far inferior to those of the body-strengthening pills. The shopkeeper can sell them for thirty taels each."

"It's not as effective as the Strengthening Pill, but the effect of the Strengthening Pill is gradual." The shopkeeper was an old hand. He sniffed the pill and said, "This pill is indeed powerful, but it doesn't last long. It's easy to disappoint customers. The maximum price I can give is fifteen taels per pill."

This shopkeeper is indeed a wise man.

Lu Zhan decided to stop when he saw that things were going well: "In that case, happy cooperation."

"If you have more pills in the future, you are welcome to continue the cooperation with our Guilutang." The shopkeeper took out two silver bills and handed them to Lu Zhan, saying with a smile.

Lu Zhan nodded: "That's great."

The black market is indeed a good place. No wonder so many cultivators like it here, especially the independent cultivators who have no support from the immortal sects, who are the backbone of the black market.

Because as long as you have some skills, you can make a lot of money here.

It is indeed easy to make money from rich people. Of course, this is targeting the rich people in the middle and lower classes, not the top class. Even the top class has their own ways of making money.

Lu Zhan found it interesting and continued walking inside.

...

"Eggs, eggs laid by the Fiery Sun Chicken that has been cultivating for 250 years..."

"Sunflower seeds, the seeds of the sunflower that has been cultivated for five hundred years..."

Going further inside, there is a street selling food, but these foods are not ordinary foods, they are all produced by the monsters.

Lu Zhan stopped in front of an egg stall, looked at the shiny white eggs, and asked, "Are these laid by hens that have been practicing for 250 years?"

"They are Lieyang Chickens." The stall owner corrected Lu Zhan and patted his chest, saying, "They are all my eggs. The quality is guaranteed."

Lu Zhan: “…”

It seems that there are poor monsters among the monster clan, who even sell their own eggs for money.

However, not all eggs are fertilized offspring. For monsters like the Fiery Sun Chicken, it is a rule to lay eggs regularly, and these eggs cannot be hatched.

But the wealthy Fiery Sun Chickens will choose to suck out the essence themselves, while the poor ones will sell it.

"Give me ten pounds of Lieyang eggs."

Lu Zhan bought them and brought them to Skylark to eat. The eggs laid by this little demon contain a certain amount of spiritual energy. Although not much, they are very useful to the Skylark King.

After buying the Lieyang eggs, I went to the sunflower seed stall next to it. The one selling the sunflower seeds was a flamboyant sunflower fairy.

Seeing Lu Zhan coming over, the fairy twisted her waist and blinked: "These sunflower seeds are all grown by me. They contain very rich spiritual energy. I guarantee that you will not be able to eat enough."

Lu Zhan felt it was weird... but he still bought ten kilograms and took it back to nourish the little fairy.

Walking further inside, Lu Zhan was truly enlightened. There were even turtle spirits selling turtle eggs, tomato spirits selling tomatoes, ginseng spirits selling ginseng whiskers, and so on.

After these demons have successfully cultivated themselves, they no longer do evil or cause trouble, and only want to live in the human world.

But after transforming into humans, they needed money to support their lives, so such a funny scene appeared.

"It can be considered as the various aspects of human life."

This kind of scene is rare. Lu Zhan found it interesting, so he walked around for a while longer and gained some benefits.

He bought a few pounds of tomatoes with the essence of tomato, took them home and fried them with 250-year-old Fiery Sun Chicken eggs, hoping that it would have a miraculous effect.

...

It was around three o'clock in the morning when Lu Zhan left the black market, and he had a general idea of ​​what the black market was like.

Although it is called the black market, the rules of operation are not dark at all, but rather very orderly. It is only because there are so many monsters and monsters that it is not suitable for them to appear on human streets that this black market was created.

It is a street where cultivators, monsters, and humans develop together.

This also allowed Lu Zhan to see a new path for development... In the future, he could refine more pills in his spare time and make a fortune on the black market.

Maybe then I can buy the house I currently live in.

Lu Zhan had no desire to buy a house here before, but now he has a partner by his side, so it is most appropriate to buy one.

We can't just pull out that ginkgo tree...that would be too unkind.

...

After leaving the black market, Lu Zhan quickly returned to the main city of Jinling.

Compared to the bustling black market, the main city of Jinling was a bit lonely. Lu Zhan strolled through it and felt that each city had its own unique scenery. He walked all the way to the door of his house, but saw a person squatting at the door.

"Brother Xu?"

With the thin moonlight, the man's face could be clearly seen. It was Xu Zeli.

But today Xu Zeli was like a defeated rooster, with bruised face and nose, and serious injuries that did not heal in a short time, indicating that the attacker was a cultivator.

However, the black and blue eyes of his did not seem to be caused by being a cultivator, otherwise he would have been blind long ago.

Lu Zhan's smile grew wider. He had long thought of using Xu Zeli as a stepping stone to gradually infiltrate the Black Water Sect, but he lacked the opportunity.

His current situation is special. If he takes the initiative to contact the Black Water Sect, it will seem too proactive and easily arouse the Black Water Sect's suspicion. He can only wait for news from the Black Water Sect before taking action.

Now he knew that the opportunity had come.

"Brother Lu..."

Seeing Lu Zhan coming, Xu Zeli's face became gloomy and his tone sounded a little aggrieved.

Lu Zhan did not open the door, but asked at the door: "Brother Xu, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?"

"It's a long story..." Xu Zeli covered his right eye and said with a sad face, "Of course I came to see you for something, but when I knocked on your door, a bird suddenly flew in and punched me in the eyes. To be honest, this is the first time I've seen a bird punch with its claws."

Lu Zhan: “…”

I guess it was a side effect of eating the magic mushrooms, but it was well done.

Lu Zhan smiled and said, "That's a bird from my home. It has a rather crazy personality. Don't be offended, Brother Xu. Come on, let's go in and talk about what's going on."

Xu Zeli was a little hesitant.

"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that she will punch you again? No, she is the most docile." Lu Zhan smiled warmly.

“Okay… okay…” Xu Zeli felt that he was unlucky, but some things were not suitable to be discussed outside, so he finally followed in.

There was a fluttering sound coming from the ginkgo tree. It must be the birds making noise, but they did not attack Xu Zeli.

Lu Zhan was a little disappointed. He asked Xu Zeli to come in before looking at his face. "How did you get hurt, brother Xu? Could the other injuries also be caused by my Que'er?"

"That's not the case..."

Xu Zeli was a little upset. It was all Lu Zhan's fault for his ugly handwriting.

After he completed the task of winning over Lu Zhan, he handed Lu Zhan's receipt to his superior. Originally, there was nothing wrong with it, but tonight, the superior suddenly came to his house.

The superior suspected that he did not succeed in winning over Lu Zhan, but swallowed the silver and forged the receipt.

The basis for his suspicion was that he didn't believe that Lu Zhan, who was so talented, could write such ugly characters.

Xu Zeli naturally refused to acknowledge it. What did Lu Zhan's ugly handwriting have to do with him? Was he going to teach Lu Zhan how to write? How many lives did he have to give advice to Lu Zhan?

What's more, it was indeed written by Lu Zhan. Xu Zeli was not panicked at all, but he soon panicked because he was beaten severely.

Fortunately, he begged for mercy so hard that the other party gave him a chance to make amends.

“So it’s because of my handwriting…” Lu Zhan pretended to feel guilty and sighed, “My handwriting is ugly, and I’m sorry for causing trouble for Brother Xu.”

"No, no, no... As for the characters, just practice them." Xu Zeli said hurriedly: "But... I heard that Brother Lu has a black glass bead?"

Finally getting to the point... Lu Zhan acted surprised: "Huh?"

Xu Zeli explained, "It's like this. Although our clan leader is very powerful, he likes to collect beads very much. I heard that Brother Lu has a bead here, so I wanted to ask Brother Lu to give it up. If you use this bead as a token of love, it can be said to be the best of both worlds."

No one would believe this if he said it out loud, but he couldn't just say, "I'm here to carry out a mission, and the Holy Church wants your beads." That would be too presumptuous, so Xu Zeli didn't dare to say it.

"I do have a glass bead." Lu Zhan raised his eyebrows and took out the black water bead from the spirit ring: "Is this what Brother Xu is talking about?"

Xu Zeli studied it for a moment and said, "It should be..."

The beads look ordinary, and it is hard to imagine why the sect leader likes such things, but don’t try to guess what your boss is thinking. You will never understand no matter how hard you try... Xu Zeli just wants to take it back and report, so as to avoid suffering inhuman torture again.

The Black Water Sect is a religion... it's really not a place for normal people to stay.

When Lu Zhan saw his expression, he knew what was going on. This guy definitely didn't know the true function of the black water beads. This was within his expectations and plans.

Lu Zhan deliberately said: "Brother Xu, you don't know, this is not a simple glass bead, it is a blood bead that is born to nourish the most yin and evil. Using blood to nourish the bead is very effective in cultivating evil abilities."

"What?" Xu Zeli was surprised.

Lu Zhan said, "According to the news from the Demon Suppression Division, the Holy Cult came to Jinling just to find this blood bead. They traveled thousands of miles to find it, which shows how precious it is."

"?!" Xu Zeli's pupils trembled and he was furious.

He guessed that the beads were not ordinary items, but he didn't expect them to be so extraordinary.

The people from the Black Water Sect asked him to ask Lu Zhan for the bead, but they did not tell him the importance of the bead. They only said that the leader liked it. If he could get Lu Zhan to take out the bead as a token of trust, it would also prove that he had indeed completed the task.

But then again, since this pearl is precious, if Lu Zhan turns against him because of it, wouldn’t he be dead?

The physical pain and mental anger combined into annoyance, and Xu Zeli clenched his fists.

Lu Zhan said seriously: "So why do you think, Brother Xu, that I would be so reluctant to give it up?"

"Brother Lu, you are wrong." At this point, Xu Zeli had no choice but to bite the bullet and said through gritted teeth, "Although this pearl is precious, it is used to cultivate evil skills. Brother Lu's are all legitimate immortal skills, which should not be used. If you give it to the Holy Church, the sect leader will definitely remember your kindness."

“That being said, the Sect Master’s concern is really unrealistic…” Lu Zhan showed an embarrassed expression: “Besides, I also have a hobby of collecting things. Even if they are useless, it is still great to collect them…”

"Brother Lu, the sect has assigned a mission and specifically requires this bead. You and I are both disciples of the Holy Church, and we should complete the sect's mission. Moreover...if I can't bring it back, I'm afraid my head and body will be separated. I still have my parents alive, so please have mercy on me, Brother Lu..." Xu Zeli stood up and bowed: "If Brother Lu likes to collect it, I will find a more beautiful one for you."

“That being said…” Lu Zhan suddenly grinned, “I’ll have to give you some compensation.”

"..."Xu Zeli was speechless for a moment. He didn't expect that Lu Zhan had laid so much groundwork just for money.

It's extremely vulgar.
