Library of Heaven’s Path - Chapter 2117

“Thank you, Elder,” Zhang Xuan said with a smile. He led the crowd away, but just as they were about to leave the main hall, he suddenly halted and turned around. “Oh, right. Since Twilight City advocates for fairness, and cheating is prohibited in the Twilight City, wouldn’t it be considered a violation of the rules if someone were to sell the numbers that they have calculated themselves for a profit and take a cut from it?” “That’s right.

“Yes, it is,” Elder Fu Yuan replied with a nod.

Even scalpers were breaking the law, let alone scammers like this.

“Elder Yao Shan is selling the numbers that he has calculated for profit. If you don’t believe me, you can ask around,” Zhang Xuan said with a smile as he pointed to Yao Shan and clasped his fist. “Farewell!”

After saying those words, he turned around and left.

That fellow had lost his money, so he couldn’t be bothered with him anymore. Yet, the other party had intentionally tried to stop him from leaving … How could he, Zhang Xuan, allow himself to be bullied so easily?

As for how he was going to find out that Yao Shan was selling the numbers, it wasn’t too difficult. During the bet with him, there were quite a few newcomers who had been duped into giving up on him.

“Elder Fu Yuan, I …” Not expecting Elder Fu Yuan to be so vengeful, Yao Shan immediately tried to explain himself.

But before he could finish his words, Elder Fu Yuan bellowed, “Take him down!”

Huala!

The crowd immediately surrounded Yao Shan and captured him.

There was no doubt that Yao Shan was in deep sh * t. Previously, he had only lost a toilet and a kitchen. Most likely, the living room and dining room would be gone as well.

Paying no heed to the happenings in the Ethereal Hall, Zhang Xuan and the others leaped onto their steeds and left the Netherworld Palace. After making sure that no one was following them, Zhang Xuan instructed the crowd, “You should head back to cultivate and prepare for the expedition to the Celestial Mountain tomorrow. Make sure that all of you will be able to achieve a breakthrough to the God realm during the expedition!”

The crowd nodded.

Zhang Xuan turned his steed around, and it did not take long for him to vanish at the end of the street.

Without any hesitation, the crowd quickly returned to the Netherworld Palace.

Only after reaching the God realm would they be able to avoid becoming a burden to their cultivation.

After leaving the crowd, Zhang Xuan walked forward and soon arrived in front of a building that wasn’t too tall.

This building didn’t look too different from other places. There was nothing special about it. It looked like a house and was very inconspicuous. Moreover, the door was closed and there was no one outside.

He walked up to the wooden door and knocked on it six times, four long and two short.

Creak!

The door opened and a blind man walked out. “Please!”

Without saying much, Zhang Xuan walked in.

The room was slightly dark. Following behind Blind, they came to the innermost room.

Stopping, the blind man stretched out his palm.

Zhang Xuan flicked his wrist and passed a token over.

The man held it in his hand and touched it for a while before nodding and placing his palm on the wall.

Buzz!

A light buzz sounded, as if a formation had been activated. In the blink of an eye, the wall turned transparent. Blind took a step forward and walked in. Zhang Xuan followed closely behind him.

It was a flight of stairs that led downward. It was shrouded in darkness, making it impossible to see what was at the bottom. However, there were some unique inscriptions inscribed on the stone, making it difficult for one to notice the existence of this place.

With his eyes half-closed, Zhang Xuan walked to the end of the flight of stairs without saying a word. There was a small boat floating above an underground river.

He boarded the boat and traveled through the pitch-black underground passageway. It was so dark that even his Eye of Insight seemed to have lost its effectiveness, making it difficult for him to discern his bearings.

Roughly an hour later, the boat bumped into an incomparably sturdy rock and sank into it. It shook for a moment before coming to a halt.

Following behind Blind, Zhang Xuan walked up the same flight of stairs for a while before reappearing on the other side of the wall. This time, he was standing in the midst of a vast shopping mall.

“Wait here. I’ll come out once I’m done with the transaction,” Zhang Xuan instructed as he began walking toward the crowd.

This was … the underground black market of Twilight City!

As long as there were rules, there would naturally be places where there were no rules.

This was the case with the black market.

The bandit known as Streak of Gray had often sold the treasures he had plundered in the black market. The books in his storage ring had detailed instructions on how to enter the black market, so Zhang Xuan was able to understand everything with just a single glance.

Here, one could buy anything one wanted, and one could also sell the treasures one wanted. However, the price was not as affordable.

The manager of the black market was a slightly seductive lady in her thirties. She was dressed in a heavy perfume, and there was a crimson rose embroidered on her neck.

“Young man, you don’t look familiar …” the seductive lady said as she leaned in closer to Zhang Xuan.

“Are you rejecting my business just because I look unfamiliar?” Zhang Xuan shot a glance at her.

“Of course not!” The seductive lady said as she walked out from behind the counter. With a smile, she said, “May I know what kind of business you are looking for? Here, you can buy anything … including me! ”

After saying those words, she intentionally blew a breath of air on Zhang Xuan’s face.

Paying no heed to her seduction, Zhang Xuan tapped his finger on the table and smiled. “I want the Mayang Beast Blood. May I know if I can find it here?”

Since he had already obtained the Greenbeast Ancient Grass, he needed to find the Mayang Beast Blood in order to raise his soul cultivation.

“Mayang Beast Blood? The Mayang Beast is a low-tier Celestial God realm divine beast. Its blood isn’t that easy to obtain, “the seductive lady said with a frown.

Most low-tier Celestial God realm divine beasts had already attained Metamorphosis, and their bodies were no different from humans. It was extremely difficult to capture them, let alone obtain their blood.

“Very well, I’ll look for someone else then!” Zhang Xuan said as he stood up and walked away.

“There’s no need to rush!” The seductive lady quickly rushed forward to stop him. “I only said that it isn’t that easy. I didn’t say that I can’t find it …”

“I want a liter!” Zhang Xuan said.

“So much?” The seductive lady was taken aback for a moment before she frowned. “How much is the blood of a Celestial God realm divine beast worth? I’ll get straight to the point. A liter of its blood will cost 3,000 Divine Coins! ”

“3,000 Divine Coins?” Zhang Xuan frowned. “There’s something wrong with that price!”

The total amount of Divine Coins he had obtained from Streak of Gray was only around 600. He was still far from 3,000 Divine Coins.

The Mayang Beast Blood was actually that expensive?

Even though he had no idea how much the blood of a Celestial God realm divine beast was worth, the price that the other party had quoted was far above the market price.

Buying goods from the black market would not leave any traces behind, so it would save him a lot of trouble. This was also the reason why he did not head to the official merchants in the city.

“The blood of a Celestial God realm divine beast isn’t that easy to obtain. 3,000 Divine Coins isn’t a high price … Besides, you should understand that a woman like me is living in such a shady place. If I don’t earn more money, how am I going to get married?”

The seductive lady circled around Zhang Xuan before chuckling softly. “Why don’t you marry me and I’ll give you a discount?”

“Six hundred Divine Coins and a word of advice!”

Ignoring the other party, Zhang Xuan raised his head proudly.

“Six hundred Divine Coins? Are you here to cause trouble? “The seductive lady’s face darkened. Huala! As soon as she said those words, several black-robed middle-aged men immediately dashed out from the crowd. Their auras had reached middle-tier God.

“You’re thinking too much. I won’t cause trouble for you, and it’s beneath me to do so!” Zhang Xuan replied calmly. “It’s because the underground is cold and humid, and there isn’t sufficient spiritual energy. Have you been consuming the Moisture Dispelling Pill to dispel the moisture in your body so as to maintain your youthful beauty?”

“So what if I have?” the seductive lady sneered.

Living underground, there were many people who consumed the Moisture Dispelling Pill. She wasn’t one of them, but she wasn’t one of them either.

“That’s good. Others can consume it, but you can’t. If I’m not mistaken, your neck and chest are covered in red blisters that you can’t get rid of, right?”

Zhang Xuan.

The seductive lady’s eyebrows shot up in astonishment. “Who did you hear that from?”

The other party was right. There were indeed blisters growing all over her body, and they had a strange odor to them. That was also the reason why she sprayed perfume all over her body and embroidered red roses on her exposed skin to conceal the blisters.

“There’s no need to hear it from anyone. I can tell with a single glance!”

Placing his hands behind his back, Zhang Xuan said nonchalantly, “As a lady, the cultivation technique that you practice is yin attribute, the ‘Tidal Cold Current Art’. This cultivation technique requires you to absorb the yin energy contained in the tidal waters and cold currents. Due to the heavy moisture in your body, consuming the Moisture Dispelling Pill to dispel it might seem as though you have gotten rid of the hidden dangers of living underground, but in truth, you have also gotten rid of the essence of your cultivation. Over half of your cultivation technique is ineffective, and in such an environment, the appearance of blisters is just the simplest reaction. As time passes, your muscles will rot, and your cultivation will slow down. Eventually … your cultivation will go berserk, and you will die! ”

“Are you trying to scare me? Big sister, I didn’t grow up being a coward! “The seductive lady was taken aback for a moment before she narrowed her eyes.

Even though there were many things that the other party had said that were correct, including her cultivation technique and the changes that had taken place in her body, she still didn’t believe that consuming the Moisture Removal Pill would cause such a phenomenon. More importantly, she wasn’t aware of it at all.

“Of course you didn’t grow up being a coward!” Zhang Xuan continued. “It’s true that the Moisture Dispelling Pill won’t have much of an impact on your cultivation technique, but what if it’s paired with the unique concealment formation of this underground market? If I’m not mistaken, your residence should be in the southwest, right? ”

The seductive lady frowned.

Paying no heed to her expression, Zhang Xuan continued, “The sun rises in the northeast and sets in the southwest. When the sun rises, the yang energy is born. When the sun sets, the yin gate opens. The southwest is where the yin and yang intersect. Everywhere else, all living things will grow, full of vitality, not affected at all. However, the Yin Gate is different! ”

“It’s one thing if it were any other cultivation technique, but the one you practice is a yin attribute cultivation technique. Under normal circumstances, you should be able to advance by leaps and bounds. However, it’s a pity that the Moisture Dispelling Pill is able to expel the moisture in your body, and it harnesses the yang energy within it.
