A life of leisure is worse than a life of flowers and splendour

The sound transmission stone recalled that Wushuang had exited his cultivation state and reached the stairs to see his senior brother emerge, refreshed and invigorated. Compared to his previous, slightly exhausted state, he was now much better. He had been worried that his junior sister wouldn't be able to keep up with him on the sword, which would definitely delay him. He hadn't dared to rest, fearing he would miss the opening of the black market. He knew that his junior sister was going to the black market to go to Wanfeng Tower, and that she must have important business there, so he couldn't delay.

After the two left Qianji House, it was taken away by the eldest senior brother. Wushuang looked reluctant to see it go.

"Haha, it seems like you really like Qianjiwu?"

"Of course I like it. It's a must-have when you go out." It's similar to an RV but much more comfortable than an RV. It looks like its defenses must be top-notch in all aspects.

"Tell Master, just send a message. He has a pretty good relationship with Yan Xiao Zhenzun of Qianji Pavilion, so he should be able to get it for you!"

"Ah? That's not good." It's not good to ask the master for something right away.

"What's wrong with that? He's your master. If you don't ask him for what you want, who else can you ask? This is my only one, otherwise I would have given it to you. Forget it, be nice, and I'll tell you."

"Oh, don't..."

Wushuang didn't have time to stop him, as the news had already been passed on. Wushuang didn't know what the eldest brother had said to the master, but he felt a little annoyed.

"Okay, Master said, it's just a Thousand Machine House. He will definitely bring it back to you when he comes back. He is already on his way to the Thousand Machine House. It's a bit far away, and he will probably arrive in a few days. Look at you, don't worry too much about Master and Senior Brother. Look at your Second Senior Brother, he didn't get beaten to death for his mouth, so what are you afraid of? Besides, you are a girl, so you won't get beaten even if you are spoiled and willful. Master and I have never raised a girl, so we don't know how to talk to you. Anyway, just say whatever you want. Don't be embarrassed. How can Vaughn know if you don't tell me?"

Wushuang looked at the eldest brother carefully. Hmm, that seemed true. The eldest brother rubbed his nose helplessly at being stared at. He only cheated outsiders, rarely his own people, except for the second brother, but that was just to teach him a lesson, not to actually hurt anyone. The master was really ruthless. Once, the second brother was beaten so badly that he was bedridden for a month. Mainly because he had no one around him and had gone to provoke someone above his level. If the master hadn't rushed in in time, he wouldn't have been able to get back. Who else would the master have to punish if not him?

The two soon arrived at a valley, and surprisingly, people were coming and going at the valley entrance. Before arriving, they put on the masks prepared by the eldest brother to block the detection of spiritual sense. They also wore a large hood to conceal their figures.

At the entrance to the valley, I handed over 10 spirit stones and entered smoothly. It was pitch dark outside, but there was a road in the valley, brightly lit. I saw many people setting up stalls selling goods, extending all the way to a cave entrance. Is this what the black market is like?

Wushuang followed the eldest brother and walked forward. After entering the cave, they continued forward and then turned into the stone gate. Each of them paid 100 spirit stones before being allowed to enter. After entering, there was a staircase going down. At the end of the stairs was a door. Inside the door, this should be the real black market.

The interior resembled the market town at the foot of Zongmen Mountain, with various two-story buildings lining the streets. There was only one three-story building, the Wanfeng Building, a black market establishment. Each shop offered a different type of business, including businesses buying and selling various goods, a Colosseum, a gladiatorial arena, and even human trafficking. There were also places resembling ancient brothels and small inns.

The first floor of the black market is a normal shop, buying and selling various items from the world of immortal cultivation. On one side of the second floor, some unidentifiable items that may be treasures are sold, also known as gambling treasures. The goods are divided into areas, and each area has a different price. I have Biyun and Xiaozhu. Well, Xiaozhu is still asleep, and Biyun is also knowledgeable. I can't let myself lose money. In fact, this is where Wanfeng Building sells some of its bottom-line inventory. These items are from auctions that have been unsold many times. After accumulating for a long time, they have accumulated a certain amount. The other side is where various high-end goods are sold. There are not many, but they are all high-quality, and some are even things that can be put on auction.

There was news of a sale on the third floor, but to enter, one needed a Wanfeng Building membership token. Membership tokens were granted only after spending a certain amount of money or consigning items worth a certain amount. Of course, the amount required to obtain a membership token was extremely high. The starting price was 100 top-grade spirit stones, which only gave one a standard membership token. Wushuang wondered, was this really the Tianyuan Continent? Aren't supplies extremely scarce here? How many people could afford top-grade spirit stones? He did have spirit stones, but they certainly wouldn't be enough to buy what he wanted.

Biyun, please help me see which ones are good and worth buying. As long as the price is right, we will buy them.

"Okay, don't worry, I will definitely keep an eye on you!"

Little tsundere!

"If you keep calling me arrogant, believe it or not, I won't choose a baby for you?"

Hey, no, no, no, our Master Biyun is the most powerful. No treasure can escape your eyes. Come on, hurry up, let’s pick all the treasures away and don’t let others get them first.

"Just wait and see!"

"That black stone on your left hand contains a piece of thunder crystal marrow. Hmm, it's very valuable!"

Wow, Thunder Crystal Marrow, any magic weapon that melts a little bit into it can automatically absorb the power of thunder and lightning, and can be used in battle, so awesome!

"That gray stone with a hint of gold has a piece of Qiankun Stone inside it. The outer layer is a layer of less pure gold crystal, which can also be refined and is worth some spirit stones."

Okay, continue.

"The fragment on the left side of the cabinet is a fragment of a divine artifact."

Divine weapon? Wushuang screamed inwardly like a dolphin. That was a treasure. The materials he collected and refined were all god-level materials. His heartbeat quickened uncontrollably, but his expression remained as calm as an old dog.

She seemed to be strolling casually, but her eyes were fixed on a corner at the bottom of the man's cabinet. She bent down calmly and reached out in that direction. However, due to the extremely narrow gap between the cabinet and the ground, she finally managed to reach in and firmly grasp the fragment hidden within.

She tugged hard, and the fragment was ripped free. After taking it in her hand, she carefully weighed it, feeling its weight and texture. Then, calmly placing it with the other two stones she had carefully selected earlier, she walked forward to pay.

The waiter in charge of collecting the money glanced at the three items and surprisingly didn't notice the insignificant fragment at all. He simply collected the corresponding number of spirit stones for the two stones as usual. And the moment the check was completed, Wushuang quickly put the items away with lightning speed, his movements almost imperceptible.

At this moment, the cashier couldn't help but mutter to himself, "This guy is really weird! That tattered piece of metal was clearly something I found in the corner to pad the counter. I didn't expect him to take it away. It's just a rusty, old piece of metal. What use could it have? I really don't understand what he's thinking. Forget it, there are weird customers every year, and I heard there's even this guy who likes to collect old vestments..."

The eldest brother waited the entire time, not even tempted to choose anything. The items here had been appraised by countless people and were worthless, so he didn't want to gamble. It was much easier and more convenient to just spend spirit stones on whatever he wanted. But he didn't know that some things were simply unavailable!

The two stones only cost her two thousand spirit stones, and they were of low quality, far from the target value. To collect enough spirit stones, Wushuang decided to auction the items.

"Junior sister, don't you have enough spirit stones? Just buy whatever you like. I have enough spirit stones here, enough for you!" My junior sister is generous to me, so of course I won't be stingy either.

"Really? Senior Brother, are you sure?" If he really wanted to buy something, it's not like he didn't have anything to buy, but he suddenly took out so many spirit stones. I can't blame myself for being petty. I'm from the mortal world, and he can take out so many spirit stones in one go. I don't dare to bet on people's hearts. Second Senior Brother comes from a wealthy family, so no one would doubt how many spirit stones he can take out.

"Haha, are you worried that you can't afford it? Don't worry, I'm not short of spirit stones." He tossed a storage bag to his junior sister, knowing that she was going to exchange for a token. 100 top-grade spirit stones would be difficult for her to come by, and she would have to give up some treasures, which would be very painful for him. But he couldn't bear to let his junior sister give up those rare treasures, so he had no choice but to pay for it himself. This time, he had emptied out most of his own spirit stones.

Wushuang took a look. 20 Supreme Spirit Stones, and 8000 High-Grade Spirit Stones, that's exactly 100 Supreme Spirit Stones. "Big Brother is so generous!" Wushuang smiled, feeling deeply touched. Actually, although she had given Big Brother a lot of treasures, Big Brother had also given her a lot of treasures for rebuilding her own courtyard. It was all so complicated, it was hard to say who owed whom. Even though she was a junior sister, she couldn't just accept other people's things; she had to think about giving something in return.

Wushuang went on a sweep through the spiritual plant area, even buying a ton of seeds. Of course, she only picked out the ones she needed for the elixir recipe. Her elixir-making techniques and recipes were based on those left behind by the person whose body she possessed. She only considered the new recipe she was using if she encountered one she couldn't find. The old recipe for the replenishing elixir was far more effective than the new one, containing nearly 50% more spiritual energy, and it was also gentler and absorbed faster!
