Luo Fu Chapter 431: Secret market
Chapter 431 Secret Market
"Nantianmen is a market." Dongyan looked at Luobei and replied, "To be precise, it is a secret trading market for ascetics closest to our place."
"It turned out to be one of the secret cities. Not far from here, there is actually a secret city?" Luo Bei's heart moved, "Do you want to go there to try your luck and see if there are these three "elixirs"? "
After receiving the help from Tong Wugu, Luobei also gained a lot of knowledge.
Now Luobei already knows that almost all sects, even Kunlun, will trade with other sects in the world to obtain something they want, or in other words, directly use their resources to control some sects.
A high-grade elixir may save ordinary ascetics ten years of hard work to absorb the aura of heaven and earth. A handy magic weapon may be able to raise the strength of ordinary ascetics to a higher level.
Cultivation techniques, magic weapons, elixir, and even some materials for refining tools and alchemy are all useful resources for the cultivation of Taoists.
In addition to some middlemen-like organizations, there are also some markets in the world dedicated to the trading of ascetics.
In spite of everything, Tong told Luobei that there are about thirty such common ascetics trading markets.
The several sects controlled by Zedi in Zhanzhou have people stationed in some of the markets, keeping an eye out for useful things.
The secret trading market is different from this ordinary trading market.
The so-called secret trading market not only means that the location of the trading market is secret, but mainly refers to the fact that all the people who enter this trading market hide their identities.
Of course, if you make your name known to everyone and enter this kind of market swaggeringly, no one will care about you.
Because this concealment of one's identity actually means that it is open to anyone, no matter whether you are a demon clan, a member of a demon cultivator, or a member of an orthodox Taoist sect, you can enter the transaction.
In this case, it is equivalent to that all the people who enter are turning a blind eye and closing one eye, just as if they don't know the identity of the other party.
"Because everyone is hiding their identities, and I don't know whether he is a demon or a demon." So even if there is any connection afterwards, the people who trade inside can use this to evade it.
Everyone knows this kind of statement and the existence of this kind of market. For this kind of market, they also adopt an attitude of turning a blind eye and closing one eye, pretending not to know.
And these secret markets will not go too far, will not be too arrogant, be careful not to expose things, and not touch the bottom line of some righteous Taoism.
To put it bluntly, this kind of secret market is like some royal cities in the world. In fact, the government knows about it, but no one will ban it, because the government will take advantage of it. It opens in the middle of the night, and everyone covers their faces. The kind of black market that ends at dawn.
There are not many such secret markets in the world of monasticism, and no one who has traded in this kind of market will talk nonsense. There are more than five, even with Tong Wugu's power, only one of them is known to be located in Zhongzhou, a secret market named Huang Fengling. Unexpectedly, there is such a secret city in the area of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
"Oh? So you've heard of this kind of secret market." Because this kind of secret market is completely different from ordinary markets. Many general markets have experienced thousands of years, or even thousands of years of interpretation, and many markets have formed their own characteristics. For example, some markets mainly deal in the trading of refining materials, and some markets mainly deal in the trading of pills. The market is suitable for ascetics to target, and those who mainly have those resources on hand can choose to trade in those markets as much as possible. But this secret market is full of variety, there are all kinds of strange things, and there are many liquidity and uncertain factors, so although you may encounter some rare things that cannot be seen in the ordinary market, it may not guarantee that those things will be sure. Have. Now that Dongyan heard Luobei's tone, which meant to try his luck, he knew that Luobei must know something about this kind of secret market.
"I asked Tong about these things before. The real power of a behemoth like Kunlun lies not only in the existence of so many high-cultivated beings, but also in the many resources and foundations it controls. Therefore, we must weaken Kunlun's power. Strength, next, I think we have to start with these most fundamental things. Otherwise, Kunlun will always be like a snowball. Dongyan asked, "Where is this Nantianmen Market?"
"It's eight hundred miles due south."
"This is the black wood guide car?"
After hearing An Dongyan's answer, Luobei took out the black wooden compass car and pointed it straight to the south. When Zhengbei was flying away, she also showed a serious look on her face, "Luobei, you really think much more far-reaching than us. It's good that you think so. There are many wars in the world. Money and resources are what determine the outcome at the moment, and if you think about it this way, I think you will have more chances of being able to compete with Kunlun, or even bring down Kunlun."
"You seem to know more about these resources and transactions than we do, and I still need your help." Luo Bei nodded, looked at Dongyan, and asked for advice: "But I just thought of something wrong. What I understand is that in the ordinary trading market, there are many orthodox sects restricting each other, and some big sects are controlling the order, so it is unlikely that there will be robbery and stealing, but these are basically in the identity of individuals. , and regardless of the identity of the other party, who is in control of the secret market for secret transactions? How can we ensure that there will be no such robbery?"
"Mostly it depends on the restriction of the secret city itself." Dongyan glanced at the whirling clouds outside the demon king's lotus platform, then turned to look at Luobei and said, "I know three secret cities in total, the one in Zhongzhou Huangfengling, Dragon Bone Valley in Yizhou, and the Nantian Gate closest to Shiwanda Mountain. Huangfengling is a place where the natural energy of heaven and earth is disordered, and any spells and magic weapons cast in it will produce unexpected effects Consequences. For example, the most common lightning ball technique is a lightning ball, which might turn into a lightning whip there, or even become a technique that is more than ten times more powerful. Definitely. As for both Dragon Bone Valley and Nantian Gate, there will be a strong backlash for any spell cast in it. The difference is that Dragon Bone Valley was a big battlefield for ancient ascetics, while Nantian Gate is a gathering place for ancient ascetics The ruins of this place are naturally covered by an unknown magic circle, and it is the prohibition of this magic circle that makes people suffer backlash when they cast spells inside."
"Spell backlash?"
Hearing what Dongyan said, Luobei, Nalan Ruoxue and Caishu immediately thought of the Yunmeng Palace on the Golden Summit of Emei. Caishu couldn't help but said, "It seems that the battle between the ascetics in Dragon Bone Valley in ancient times was no less tragic than the battle of the Nether Blood Demon at the Golden Summit. Unexpectedly, between the ancient ascetics, There has also been such a tragic battle."
"I've also heard about this. There are more than one or two battles of this magnitude." Nalan Ruoxue said suddenly: "I also heard from my father that there are still several places where ancient monks practiced Taoism outside the pass and in Yinshan. My father has been to those places, and he said that the wars in those places may not be smaller than the Battle of the Golden Summit. It’s just that there is no natural restriction like Dragon Bone Valley in those places. My father even felt that such a big battle in the monastic world might be destined to break out at regular intervals."
"Oh?" Luo Bei's eyes flashed, "Why does your father think so?"
"My father thinks that even if this is not the so-called law of heaven, there is a certain cycle." Nalan Ruoxue said softly: "My father thinks that after a long period of time when the monastic world is stable, the secrets of various sects and sects will be different." Dharma will prosper, forming a grand scene where a hundred flowers bloom. Under such circumstances, many people with the highest cultivation bases will often emerge... If these people's cultivation bases are higher, there may be thousands of miles of red land in every gesture. , the power to destroy the world. If there are many such people, one day such a person is in a bad mood, or something goes wrong, the world may be completely destroyed. So my father thinks it may be There is a certain law in the dark ~IndoMTL.com~ so many people who are so powerful to this level are not allowed to appear. Just think that some things must decline when they are extremely prosperous. After the Great War, it will decline for many years, and then slowly flourish."
"That's right." Luobei's eyes flickered, and Nalan Ruoxue's words made him think of many truths, "If a large number of cultivation techniques in the cultivation world are lost, and now they are all cultivators who have only reached the golden core stage, No matter what, it is impossible to form such a big war."
When Luobei said these words, the four people on the demon king's lotus platform fell into a slight silence.
Because all four of them thought that four hundred years had passed since the last battle of the Nether Blood Demon at the Golden Summit... After the Nether Blood Demon battle that day, almost all masters in the monastic world died. Most sects are extremely weak, big sects like Qingcheng and Kongtong are also weakening up to now.
But four hundred years have passed...now there are many sects that have prospered, and many people with high cultivation bases have emerged again...Huang Wushen, Kuang Wuxin, Yuan Tianyi...such Existence, which made the four of them couldn't help thinking, could it be said that the four hundred years of qi circulation is just about to meet such a big battle again?
And what makes the four of them can't help being slightly silent is that if this is the case, then these four of them must also be the protagonists caught in it.
.....
"It's almost there."
The demon king Liantai was moving forward in the night sky at high speed. Suddenly, An Dongyan stretched out his finger and pointed a little forward.
