Chapter 11 Black Market
Chapter 11 Black Market
Zhou Pan'er saw that Fu Shaoping had used the "Piaomiao Footwork" before, so he should have no problem avoiding the Clearing Bear. Instead, she would be a burden if she followed him.
The two of them had discussed it before they set out. She would be responsible for cutting down the warehouse clearing wood, and if they encountered a warehouse clearing bear, Fu Shaoping would be the one to lead it away.
even so.
Zhou Paner was still a little worried about the unknown, and warned:
"Be careful! If things really get out of hand, retreat. Saving your life is the most important thing."
"it is good"
Fu Shaoping put on the windbreaker forged from green algae, bent over, and walked into the forest step by step.
The Qingcang wood is different from ordinary trees. It has no branches and grows straight up, so it grows taller than ordinary trees. Each tree is twenty to thirty feet tall. Their goal this time is to cut down four trees and take them back. If there are more, it will inevitably attract the attention of the Qingcang bear.
"Roar!"
After entering the forest for several hundred feet.
A warehouse clearance bear as tall as two people jumped into view. It was snow-white all over, but had a single horn on its forehead. It was said that even the Zhenwu sword could not cut this horn. If you were hit by it, you would be seriously injured if not killed.
"Whoo~"
Fu Shaoping held his breath.
After Qingcang Bear closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, he performed the "Piaomiao Step" and turned into a breeze and left the place.
Throughout the Qingcang forest, a Qingcang bear can be found every three to five hundred feet.
The exploration lasted from morning to afternoon.
In the most remote place in the southwest corner, I found that there were no traces of bear feces left:
“It was finally worth the trip.”
After Fu Shaoping remembered the location, he turned around and took Zhou Paner with him.
Zhou Paner took the big knife that he had sharpened all night, raised it high, and with a few "ding ding ding" sounds, he chopped down the same root of the clearing wood quickly, fiercely and accurately.
Only a click was heard.
The tree in the warehouse was broken at the root and fell down with a loud noise.
"boom!"
The fallen clearing trees stirred up a hail of fallen leaves.
Zhou Pan'er didn't pause.
Then he swung his sword and knocked down another tree.
The sounds of two heavy objects falling to the ground in succession were extremely abrupt in the quiet forest.
"Roar!"
"Ho ho ho!!"
Several roars of clearance bears were heard one after another.
Fu Shaoping saw the right time and swung his sword to cut down a warehouse clearing tree together with Zhou Paner:
"Sister Pan'er, hurry up!"
Fu Shaoping was walking behind, carrying two clearing woods on his left and right. For him, who had already entered the second level of the body-building realm, the weight of the clearing woods was barely acceptable. Zhou Paner was only in the first level of the body-building realm, so it was more difficult for him to walk.
"Roar!"
A clearance bear suddenly jumped out from the woods on the left, with its head lowered and its curved horn, and charged towards Zhou Paner.
Zhou Paner did not slow down.
I just felt a breeze passing by in front of me.
Fu Shaoping arrived later and swung the Qingcang Wood, which collided with the Qingcang Bear with a bang. The Qingcang Wood was knocked away. The Qingcang Bear paused for a moment, and suddenly changed direction and rushed towards Fu Shaoping.
Fu Shaoping stepped on tiptoe.
He picked up the fallen warehouse wood again, performed the ethereal footwork, and shuttled through the forest like a ghost.
Soon the clearance bear was left behind.
In a blink of an eye, they were out of the forest.
Seeing Zhou Paner waiting at the entrance of the woods, my heart felt warmed.
No near misses.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
After coming down from Qili Mountain.
Zhou Paner said:
"Shao Ping, can you please give me a copy of the "Piao Miao Footwork" in your hand? I will use the Yuanshi I earned from selling the Blood Qi Powder to make it up to you later?"
"of course can!"
Zhou Pan'er shared the recipe for the Blood Qi Powder Pill with him without reservation, and letting him copy a copy of the "Piao Miao Steps" was also considered a reward.
Fu Shaoping lifted one of the clearance logs on Zhou Paner's shoulder and placed it on his own shoulder.
If Zhou Paner also learned the Piaomiao footwork.
Then it will be much more convenient for them to go up the mountain next time.
When they were almost in town, Zhou Paner put down the wood on her shoulders. She didn't want to reveal her identity as a warrior yet.
Fu Shaoping made two trips back and forth before he was able to move the cleared wood back to his new home on East Street.
The next day.
Zhou Paner chopped the warehouse-cleared wood into firewood at home.
Fu Shaoping went to the black market.
The black market is an underground market where warriors from several nearby towns exchange supplies.
Those who enter the black market are generally warriors at the Body Tempering Realm. Most of the items inside are first-level items. Everyone wears a mask and the admission ticket only costs ten Yuanbei. Here no one will ask how you obtained the things you sell, and no one will care what the things you buy are used for. As long as the price is agreed upon, the deal will be done.
It is said.
The mastermind behind the black market is a powerful person in the Earth Element Realm.
Anyway.
No one dares to snatch supplies in the black market.
Fu Shaoping wore a fox mask.
There is only one street in the black market, with stalls set up on both sides, and it is clear at a glance what is being sold.
At the end of the black market.
The only store was built, and its nature was similar to the treasure hall of a hundred households, with a wide variety of goods.
After Fu Shaoping walked around, he saw an old woman selling herbs on the street corner. Among them were the sunny grass and sunflowers needed for the blood and qi powder. There were quite a lot of them. They were all ten years old, just right for use as medicine:
"Fellow Daoist, how much are these sunny grass and sunflower flowers?"
"I don't sell Yuancao here individually. If you really want it, it's 120 Yuanbei per piece. If it's in bulk, it's one low-grade Yuanshi per piece. No bargaining."
The old woman replied uninterestedly.
Look.
She has no problem finding a market for her products on the black market.
Shop around.
Fu Shaoping went into the shop at the end of the street to inquire about the market. This shop could sell a single piece of low-grade Yuanshi Lingbei, but it was only nine years old, so it could be used as medicine, but it was obviously more expensive than the ten-year-old product sold by the old woman on the corner.
Come out of the shop.
Return to the old woman's stall.
Know that the other party does not bargain.
He didn't say anything:
"Fellow Daoist, I want ten copies. Would you sell them at the price of one low-grade Yuanshi?"
"The quantity is too small. I can only give you one hundred and ten spirit shells per portion."
The old woman gave way.
Seeing that the other party had loosened up, Fu Shaoping hurriedly said:
"I'll come again next time."
Those who can buy ten copies at one time are either alchemists or those who are purchasing supplies for their family or gang.
The old woman hesitated.
Showing a mouthful of yellow teeth:
"Fellow Daoist, you must keep your word. Come to me next time for restocking. I will set up a stall once every ten days."
"it is good!"
Fu Shaoping readily handed over the ten low-grade Yuan stones in his pocket.
After the payment of silver and goods.
Fu Shaoping did not stay in the black market any longer.
After coming out from underground, he changed his clothes, then performed the Piaomiao Footwork and quickly disappeared.
A poor family gives up their business!
No one followed us along the way.
Fu Shaoping couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
From afar, under the archway at the town gate, I saw a familiar figure.
Zhou Paner came forward to greet him.
He looked him up and down, and seeing that Fu Shaoping was not injured, he asked:
"Is it going well?"
"Well, let's go home."
Fu Shaoping patted his bulging bag.
The two returned to their new home on East Street and locked the door.
A newly built wall in the backyard completely separated the west wing, and a small door had been installed. The wall between the original two rooms had been knocked down to form a connecting room. A tall stove was built in the room with a large pot placed on it.
