Chapter 172

"I'm here to pick up lot 88."

Li Quanqing took out a storage bag with a little heartache. It was filled with low-grade spirit stones. They were shining brightly, and the rich spiritual energy almost emanated from the bag.

"Okay, dear guest, please wait a moment."

The pretty maid smiled gently and spoke in a soft voice, making it hard for people to get angry.

Soon, all the treasures that Li Quanqing had auctioned were delivered to him, packed in the provided storage bags and spirit beast bags, looking neat and tidy.

After all, he is a big customer, so the treatment is naturally very good.

Li Quanqing used his spiritual sense to check one by one, and after making sure that everything was correct, he took out a Yangyan fish and held it in his hand.

A spirit fish less than a foot long, wrapped in scarlet crystals, looks lifelike, as if it is in a long sleep.

The warm touch spread along the crystal, just like touching a piece of fire jade, sealing up the majestic vitality layer by layer.

[Sweet Dreams] Yangyan Fish: "Countless delicious food, fun things to do, such a vast lava lake, and the smell of sulfur is so good. I feel like I'm dreaming!"

[Cultivation: Qi Refining Level 69 (%)]

The maid noticed his gaze and quickly said, "Dear guest, this layer of Sealing Spirit Jade can keep the Yangyan Fish in a long sleep for three years. Just break it gently to wake them up."

Li Quanqing nodded slightly: "What kind of food do they eat?"

"The diet of this creature is very peculiar. It feeds on magma and absorbs the purest fire essence. Of course, it is also OK to feed them ordinary spiritual bait and spiritual pills."

The girl began to explain. Although she was just a maid, she was still very knowledgeable.

"That's easy to feed."

Li Quanqing smiled softly, put away his storage bag and spirit beast bag, turned around and walked out of the auction house, returning to his own cave.

Now that the mermaid silk is in hand, plus a large amount of auxiliary materials, the only things missing to refine the second-order formation are wood and silk with fire attributes.

Apart from this, there is only one True Evil of the North Sea, and the two spiritual pets that are about to establish their foundations are Ao Qing and Canghai Whale, both of whom are crying out for food.

"And there is also the Foundation Building Pill..."

Li Quanqing stroked his chin, thinking about the information given to him by Master Huang Li, and secretly calculated.

There is a Taoist priest named Mu in the black market who is suspected to be selling foundation-building pills, and even a map has been prepared for him.

"If we can get a foundation-building pill, Ao Qing's breakthrough will naturally be stable. Bei Ming Zhen Sha can also be given to Cang Hai Jing, so let's go and take a look."

Li Quanqing made a decision in his heart and was also very interested in this mysterious black market.

Baoqingfang also had its own black market, which he had visited in person.

They are just a group of robbers who are hiding their heads and showing their tails. The place where they sell stolen goods is full of good and bad people.

"I hope this market can bring me some surprises..."

Thinking of this, Li Quanqing slowly closed his eyes and began to meditate and rest his mind.

……

In the blink of an eye, ten days passed quietly.

A bright moon hangs high in the sky, as big as a silver plate, clear and bright. Today is the day when the black market is held.

Li Quanqing glanced at the sky, then left the cave in a swagger, left Hanchi Fairy City and flew towards the northeast.

Whoosh!

As soon as we left the fairy city, a snowy wind howled in. The cold wind was as sharp as a knife, scraping the ground and causing pain on people's skin.

Li Quanqing put on a black robe that could hide his magical powers, and a hat to cover his face, then he blended into the night silently.

After flying for more than a hundred miles, we could almost see the sparkling sea and finally arrived at our destination.

Below me, I saw a skull-shaped iceberg standing tall, which looked extremely scary.

There were no cultivators' caves around, it was just a bare expanse, very quiet and secluded, and very easy to spot.

The moonlight shines on the wind and snow, until a certain moment.

However, a dark mist rose up and escaped from several large holes in Skull Mountain, wrapping the entire iceberg.

Through the thick fog, you can vaguely see lights of various colors shining, which is quite strange.

At this time, there finally appeared a hidden light of escape, coming from all directions and gathering towards this place.

Seems to be quite popular.

Li Quanqing was flying at a very high altitude. Seeing that nothing strange was happening, he concealed his body and descended on a cloud.

He practiced his skills, suppressing his own magical energy to the level of great perfection of Qi Refining, and landed in front of the black fog.

Buzz! !
Li Quanqing casually threw a spirit stone into the mist, and then he saw the mist surging, revealing a passage.

He was not afraid and walked into the passage with confidence.

The passage was very short and extended all the way downward. At the end, two masked monks were guarding there, with only two cold eyes showing.

"Fighting is prohibited in the black market. We are not responsible for the authenticity of any items... Hehe, fellow Taoist, please come in!"

The monk on the right spoke in a hoarse voice, revealing a large man-made hole behind him.

Li Quanqing nodded without saying a word and walked straight into the cave.

Looking inside, an extremely wide underground ice cave comes into view. It covers a large area and the walls of the cave are covered with interconnected passages.

There were no buildings at the bottom of the ice cave. Everyone sat on the ground like casual cultivators, each setting up their own stall, which looked very simple.

Various colored luminous pearls sparkled brightly. Although there were many monks, they all covered their heads and faces, hiding their heads and tails, and wandered among the stalls.

Li Quanqing was curious, but he didn't rush to find Mu Dao Ren. He just strolled around and scanned the stalls. There were all kinds of strange items here, all kinds of unconventional magic tools, even magic materials and female cultivator furnaces, all openly for sale.

"A baby who was born in an unlucky year, unlucky month and unlucky time died tragically. His bones were buried for a hundred years, and a piece of excellent Huangquan bone was produced..."

"A mass grave on an ancient battlefield, from which a wisp of ghostly evil wind was extracted, is now being sold at a low price!"

"Infernal corpses, top-quality Infernal corpses! Cheap and useful cannon fodder, with black, white, yellow, and red hairs..."

Li Quanqing was walking around, but to his surprise, most of the people he saw were guys selling magic materials.

"Are there so many demon cultivators in the East Sea?"

He was somewhat speechless, and what they were selling were all inferior magical materials, the kind that even Qi-refining cultivators would despise.

What he didn't know was that due to the enormous pressure from the demon clan, the human forces in the East China Sea were forced to unite unprecedentedly.

Those Nascent Soul sects of the demonic world can also show up and occupy some territorial waters, but not in this sea area.

Today, the conflict between good and evil is far less intense than it was thousands of years ago.

Li Quanqing shook his head, too lazy to walk around anymore, and prepared to find someone to ask for information about Mu Dao Ren.

"My fellow Taoist, may I ask if you have ever heard of the name Mu Dao Ren?"

He stopped at a stall, played with an unknown black and red bone, and asked.

The stall owner was an extremely fat man. Sensing the unfathomable level of his cultivation, he swallowed his angry words in an instant.

"Yes, of course I have. This senior is very famous!"

"You also want to covet that foundation-building pill? I think you should just give up on this idea. He is a complete swindler..."

Li Quanqing used his spiritual sense to gently guide the man, and immediately he spoke the truth, and revealed all the information without realizing it.

Sure enough, the so-called foundation-building pill was a scam, a failed pill. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a poisonous pill.

As everyone knows, refining foundation-building pills requires the demon core of a second-level great demon. This batch of foundation-building pills is the practice work of a certain alchemist.

This caused the elixir to be mixed with demonic energy, and a furnace full of poisonous pills was produced. After refining them, ordinary Qi-refining cultivators might be contaminated by the demonic energy and turned into some kind of monster.

That Taoist Mu got such a poison pill from somewhere and put it on the black market to advertise it widely, becoming very famous.

"A poisonous pill with a strong demonic energy? That's perfect. I won't be the one to eat it anyway, so Ao Qing should like it very much!"

Li Quanqing immediately left with satisfaction.

Only the fat monk was left after he woke up, his back covered in cold sweat. In panic, he dared not stay any longer, so he packed up his shop and ran away.

Li Quanqing turned many corners and finally entered an icy passage. The air was chilly all around and a strangely dressed monk in a green robe was sitting cross-legged there.

The Taoist priest Mu did not cover his face. He had a strange appearance, with a high braid. The wrinkles on his face were piled up on top of each other, giving off a sense of wood texture.

"Heh! Another Qi-refining junior who is so wishful thinking that he wants to get my foundation-building pill!"

Taoist Mu opened his eyes slightly, a dark green light flickered, his voice was dry and hoarse, and his expression was not like that of an ordinary person.

"Daoyou, please name a price."

Li Quanqing did not say anything, but instead sent out a ray of spiritual consciousness, which was like a thunder that shook the void.

This is exclusive to cultivators who have established their foundation. Sometimes, deliberately concealing one's cultivation level can lead to accidents.

"So it's a fellow Taoist, hiding his head but showing his tail, could he be a half-demon?"

Taoist Mu spoke in a sarcastic tone, grinning, revealing his yellow teeth, and looking grim.

Li Quanqing was speechless. This old guy must have something wrong with his brain.

But if you think about it carefully, it is indeed true. This kind of poison pill mixed with demonic energy is of great interest to only the half-demon clan.

"I have a Qi-refining pet that is on the verge of a breakthrough and needs this foundation-building pill."

Li Quanqing said in a deep voice, his voice was neither happy nor sad, with an inexplicable pressure: "Daoyou, name your price."

"This fellow is really generous in feeding his pet with Foundation Establishment Pills. I am far inferior to him."

Taoist Mu shook his head and said, "One price, fifty thousand low-grade spirit stones!"

"Are you trying to amuse me?"

Li Quanqing looked speechless, wondering why this old guy didn't go and rob.

Normal foundation-building pills are not sold at such a high price.

"Then I'll change the conditions. How about a top-grade defensive spiritual weapon or a top-grade offensive spiritual weapon?"

Li Quanqing understood that this old guy was just taking advantage of his rarity and asking for an exorbitant price.

"We don't agree!"

He snorted, and without stopping, he just walked away.

Even if he wanted to buy it, he couldn't afford the 50,000 spirit stones. It would be better for him to believe in Ao Qing's own potential.

Taoist Mu smiled slightly, said nothing more, and watched him leave.

Since I have come to the black market, I certainly cannot return empty-handed.

Li Quanqing thought for a moment and walked towards the center of the black market.

Although the monks setting up stalls here also covered their faces, they did not conceal their foundation-building magic power.

This made the many Qi-refining monks who came and went be extremely cautious.
