Chapter 143 - Underground marketsIt was early in the morning, and in the far side of the forest, there were dense bushes and gloomy shadows. It seemed that there was a boundless darkness hidden in the depths.
After a night of rest, dewdrops were now hanging on the leaves of the surrounding leaves. Droplets of dew rolled down, creating a series of "plop plop" sounds.
A green robed figure appeared within the group. He looked to be around seventeen or eighteen years old, and there was a mature aura that did not exist among his peers on his resolute face. If one were to carefully sense him, they would be able to sense a faint baleful aura emanating from the youth"s body.
What was even more strange was that on this youth"s shoulder, there was a small yellow snake. It was looking around non-stop with its head held high.This person was none other than Lu Shaoyu. He had left the Flying Spirit Sect early in the morning, and had gone to a nearby large town to see if there were any demon beasts for sale so that he could test if he had successfully cultivated the Blood Soul Seal.
The Heavenly Star Town was the largest nearby town that Lu Shao You knew of, but it was three days" ride away from the Flying Spirit Sect. If he was fast, he could get there in a day.In Tianxing Town, there were demon beasts being sold. These were all demon beasts captured by the mercenary groups in the Misty Mountain Range. Of course, the price wasn"t low either.
The Zephyr Guild was really poor, so poor that they didn"t even have a horse. Outside of the Zephyr Guild, Lu Shao spent dozens of gold coins to buy a horse that didn"t look like much and then headed towards Heavenly Star Town.
In the morning, Lu Shao You had to ride his horse at full speed. The first time he had driven a horse, he felt a refreshing feeling. He almost fell off the horse several times, but luckily, his hands and feet were nimble.
Along the way, they didn"t encounter any danger. They were all on the main road and there weren"t many chaotic situations. By the afternoon, Lu Shaowu had already arrived at Heavenly Star Town.
The Tianxing Town was much bigger than the Greencloud Town, and much more lively. However, while it was bustling with noise and excitement, the environment was much more chaotic, unlike the Greencloud Town, where the five great families maintained order. Moreover, this was a place where all sorts of people gathered, making it even more difficult to manage.
In the afternoon, the streets were bustling with noise and bustle. Lu Shaowu led his tired horse into Heavenly Star Town.In the town, Lu Shaowu walked directly into a hotel. The first floor of the hotel was the restaurant, and the second floor was the room. He couldn"t go back to the Flying Spirit Sect today, so he asked for a top room, put the horses in the hotel, and ordered some food before sitting down in a seat by the window on the first floor.
When Lu Shaoyu walked into the tavern, many people were sizing him up.
After all, at this moment, Lu Shao You looked like a teenager, but he had an invisible aura about him, which made quite a few people couldn"t help but size him up.
Lu Shaoyu had already sized up these people. All of them were martial artists, and their cultivation bases were at the warrior level. There were a few Martial Disciples and Martial Masters, and there were dozens of people in the restaurant.
Moments later, the waiter brought out quite a bit of food. Lu Shaoyu ate without a hint of politeness as his stomach bounced on the horse"s back, feeling extremely hungry.After a few minutes of eating, Lu Shao You left the bar and walked around the street.
Walking onto the street, he found himself in the middle of a bustling crowd.
"Sir, this is the first time you"ve come to the Heavenly Star Town. Do you need any help? Just look for me and I"ll pay you a small fee." At this moment, a short, thin youth with sharp eyes suddenly walked up to Lu Shaowu"s side and said.Lu Shaoyu sized up the youth. He was dressed in a half-worn robe, which was about seventeen or eighteen years old. However, his shifty eyes were quite similar to Lu Xi"s.
My lord, my name is Liu Yi, I am not a bad person, nor am I a bandit, I am just a local bandit in the Heavenly Star Town. This is the first time you have come to the Heavenly Star Town, you can look for me for anything. The youth patted his thin chest.
"Liu Yiyi, your name is quite special." Lu Shaoyu said lightly. Looking at this youth, he only had the strength of a Martial Disciple.
"The name was given to me by my parents, so I can"t do anything about it." Liu Shisui touched his head and smiled, "Sir, this should be your first time in Heavenly Star Town, right? I could tell that you were scared away by those girls. If there"s anything you need my help with, feel free to say it."
"What are you scared away by?" Young Master Lu rolled his eyes at Liu Shisui and said, "That was self-serving, do you understand?"
"Is there any place here that can buy demonic beasts? Take me there. If I"m satisfied, I"ll give it to you when the time comes." For a place like this, if he could get the help of some local snakes, it would save him a lot of time.
"Where demon beasts are sold, my lord has found the right person. I don"t dare to say anything else, but a little steward in the underground market of Tianxing Town is the cousin of a friend of mine. When we grow up together, we"ll be able to give you a discount if we catch on to a demon beast." Liu Shisui"s eyes immediately lit up as he walked forward with Lu Shaoyu.Lu Shaoyu smiled. This youth was good at bragging.
Following Liu Yiyou, Lu Shaoyu walked through a few streets, and then entered an underground pa.s.sage at the end of a street. According to Liu Yiyou, the most bustling place in Heavenly Star Town was not the street, but this underground market. This underground market was the most bustling place, even the nearby big places would have a lot of rich young masters coming to this underground market.
Demonic beasts, medicinal pills, martial skills, medicinal materials, everything was sold in this underground market. Even demonic cores, elixirs, and spiritual beasts could be sold here. However, these demonic cores, elixir cores, and spiritual beasts could not be easily visited. Without sufficient strength, the underground market would not allow you to go there.
However, what made everyone excited was that there would often be female slaves who were not wearing any clothes at all. If they were lucky, they would even meet the slave of a beautiful woman, and many of them would come to the underground market to take a look if they had nothing to do.Following Liu Shisui to the underground shopping mall, he couldn"t help but sigh. This underground shopping mall was simply an underground world. Its area was huge, and it was over ten thousand square meters. No one knew how it was excavated, but it was packed with people, but the air was smooth and the ventilation facilities were excellent.
The underground market truly had the smell of an underground place, while the shouts within seemed to be deafening. The underground market was currently filled to the brim with many items, elixirs, medicine ingredients, weapons and so on.
"How is it? It"s quite lively, right?" Liu Shisui shouted at Lu Shaoyu. Here, you couldn"t hear him unless you were talking loudly."Take me to see the demon beasts." Right now, he didn"t lack medicinal pills or ingredients. This time, his target was only the demon beasts.
"No problem, follow me." Liu Yiyi said.Walking in this bustling underground market, Lu Shaoyu could actually feel the aura of quite a few Spirit Masters.
"The slaves that arrived today are healthy and young. The male and the female start price will be 5 gold coins while the female start price will be 8 gold coins."
"There are also a few young female slaves. Look at how well they have developed. These few, fifteen gold coins is the starting price." On a stone platform, a middle-aged man who looked like a staff member of an underground market shouted loudly. In his eyes, these people were nothing more than animals without any mercy.
Lu Shaoyu sighed in his heart. This was the way of the world. Without strength, you were nothing. Everything in this world depended on strength. The strong ate the weak, while the strong ate the weak.In the middle of the underground market, Lu Shaoyu followed Liu Shisui to a thousand meter long stone platform. The stone platform was surrounded by not as many onlookers as the one who just sold the female slaves. However, Lu Shaoyu sized up the dozens of people in front of the stone platform. Most of them were Martial Masters. What surprised Lu Shaoyu was that there were a few cultivators with the aura of Martial Spirits among them.
Although these experts had restrained their auras, Lu Shaoyu could still vaguely sense them.
At this moment, there were a dozen or so demon beasts on the stone platform, and each of them was locked in a large iron cage. At a glance, one could see the Howling Worldwolf, the Bear Wolf, and other demon beasts.
"Second level intermediate stage Bear Wolf, starting bid 3000 gold coins."The Rank 2 Demonic Beast was much more expensive than a Grade 2 Medicinal Pill. Once you consume the medicinal pill once, you will lose all of it while the Demonic Beast will always be by your side. If you are lucky, and the Demonic Beast is able to break through, it will be sold for several times its original price.
