The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 997 - 995: Black Market! Large Auction!

Chapter 997: Chapter 995: Black Market! Large Auction!

Lin Bai found a secluded alley, changed his face back, and then transferred the 100,000 points from Wusong’s Identity Token into his own.

But Lin Bai did not discard Wusong’s Identity Token; instead, he kept it in his Storage Bag.

The Black Market, though located within War Soul City,

was a place no one knew the exact location of.

A dark passageway behind the main hall on the first floor.

This passageway was none other than the door to the Black Market.

Lin Bai casually found a disciple in War Soul City, gave him a hundred points, and the disciple told Lin Bai how to get to the Black Market.

"Dengzi Alley, number 999!"

"This is it."

Lin Bai stood at the location, looked up at the door for a moment, and then pushed it open and walked in.

This was the direction given by the disciple to find the Black Market.

The door to the Black Market was at Dengzi Alley, number 999.

Pushing the door open, there were no houses inside; instead, there was a stone passageway leading underground.

"Could it be that the Black Market is underground?"

Lin Bai muttered to himself in confusion before stepping down into the stone passageway.

After walking for about half an hour,

Lin Bai heard the bustling noise of people ahead and saw lights flickering through the darkness.

"It seems I’ve arrived."

Lin Bai smiled faintly and walked briskly forward.

Indeed, after exiting the stone passageway, there lay a vast underground square.

Around the square, there were also several other passageways.

The warriors in the square were quickly heading towards these various passageways, disappearing from sight.

Lin Bai looked up and saw words written above each passageway.

"Demon-slaying Tower, the place for trading Demon Beasts!"

"Auction House, the place for auctions!"

"..."

There were about fifty other passageways leading to different areas.

Lin Bai’s sole purpose in coming to the Black Market was to sell the bones of Demon Beasts.

"Demon-slaying Tower!"

Lin Bai focused on this passageway and walked in.

This passageway was very busy with warriors coming and going, and the crowd was quite dense.

It was just like a bustling market.

After walking a long distance in this passageway, Lin Bai saw small stone chambers up ahead, with warriors sitting inside, and many who entered the passageway chose a chamber, went inside, and then the doors of the stone chambers closed.

"So that’s how it is!"

"These stone chambers are the places for assessing Demon Beasts?"

After watching for a while, Lin Bai understood the purpose of the rooms in the passageway and continued walking forward.

Then, Lin Bai saw an empty room, walked in, and casually closed the Stone Door behind him.

"Hello, fellow Daoist. I am Hong Liang. May I know what kind of Demon Beast you would like to sell?"

The person who received Lin Bai was an old man with white hair and eyebrows, smiling amiably at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai replied with a smile, "Indeed, I have many Demon Beasts to sell! I would appreciate it if fellow Daoist could give me an estimate."

Lin Bai waved his hand and took out many Demon Beasts from the Storage Bag!

Just taking out one-third of the Demon Beasts from the Storage Bag was enough to fill the small room.

"Oh my!"

The old man, Hong Liang, was startled at the sight of so many Demon Beasts, his eyes showing shock.

"Mountain-Turning Stone Demon!"

"Eight-horned Beast!"

"..."

"So many Demon Beasts, and they are all at the Ninth Layer of the Human Elixir Realm!"

The old man’s gaze was filled with astonishment.

Lin Bai said softly, "This is only one-third of what’s in my Storage Bag. Once you’ve assessed them properly, I’ll bring out the rest of the Demon Beasts."

"There are more?"

"You only took out one-third?"

The old man looked at Lin Bai as if seeing a ghost.

Lin Bai said with a smile, "Please start the assessment."

"Fellow Daoist, may I ask, are you a warrior listed on the Hunter Ranking?"

The old man asked curiously.

"Uh, I don’t think it’s time yet," Lin Bai said indifferently.

The matters from Burial Dragon Stream hadn’t fully spread yet, and the Hunter Ranking of War Soul City hadn’t been updated either.

So very few people knew what Lin Bai had done in Burial Dragon Stream.

It was estimated that even if news from Burial Dragon Stream were to spread, it would still take about half a month.

"Oh," the old man nodded in confusion, wondering how someone not on the Hunter Ranking could have killed so many Demon Beasts?

"Then please wait a moment, I will count them for you!"

Without another word, the old man began to tally up the count.

He counted batch by batch.

After finishing with one batch, he put it away, and then Lin Bai brought out another.

The old man’s face showed horror again.

Mad, how could there still be so many?

The old man continued to count.

After finishing, another batch came.

Twitches appeared on the old man’s face, thinking to himself: Did this guy wipe out all the Demon Beasts in the Primordial World?

Batch by batch.

Lin Bai took out no fewer than nine batches in total.

The old man’s hands trembled as he counted.

After the ninth batch, when the old man saw that Lin Bai wasn’t bringing out any more Demon Beasts, he asked eagerly, "Is that all?"

"That’s about it," Lin Bai said with a faint smile, "Give me a price."

The old man, moved to tears by Lin Bai’s indication that there were no more, quickly took out his abacus and began to make an estimate for Lin Bai.

"My friend, I have the total," the old man said.

"The points you could get from these Demon Beasts are..."

The old man’s eyes widened as he spoke!

In his heart, he cursed in shock: Bloody hell, how could there be so many?

Lin Bai asked curiously, "How much?"

The old man’s eyes stared in astonishment as he said to Lin Bai, "A total of 500,000 points!"

"Oh, 500,000!"

Lin Bai nodded indifferently.

Seeing Lin Bai’s calm reaction, the old man’s face immediately showed astonishment.

What does "Oh, 500,000 points" mean? Bro, could you take this seriously, please?

This is 500,000 points we’re talking about!

How many warriors can never acquire this amount of points in their entire lives!

"Okay, transfer the points to me," Lin Bai said with a light smile as he handed over his Identity Token.

The old man then transferred the points to Lin Bai’s Identity Token.

"Since the Demon Beasts have been sold, I’ll take my leave," Lin Bai said as he got up to leave.

"Please wait a moment, my friend," the old man hastily called out, "Today happens to be the day our Black Market is holding a major Auction. Would you be interested in attending?"

"A major Auction? How big is it?" Lin Bai asked with a smile.

The old man replied, "Now that I think about it, it’s only half a month until the Hero Ranking Martial Arts Competition at Miracle Ridge, so every year, right before the competition, the Black Market holds a major Auction."

"At this time, many warriors have hoarded a vast amount of points to purchase Treasures in hopes of making a name for themselves on the Heroes List and gaining both fame and fortune!"

"Thus, this Auction is the time of year when the Black Market puts out the most Treasures!"

"Many rare items that cannot be bought all year around can be seen at the Auction, including many Nine-grade Spirit Tools, Magic Circles, Spiritual Talismans, life-preserving artifacts, Cultivation and Martial Skills, and many other Treasures!"

"There are also rare materials that have disappeared from the Martial World for many years!"

"Are you interested?" the old man asked with a smile.

"Spiritual tools and cultivation skills?" Lin Bai showed some interest.

Because of the Dual Sword, Lin Bai still lacked a fitting Spiritual Tool.

And Lin Bai wanted to find a new Body Refining Skill to cultivate; the War God Old Man had only taught him the first three layers of the Golden War Body, and Lin Bai was missing the rest.

"I can take a look," Lin Bai nodded with a smile.

"Good, please wait a moment, I will arrange for someone to take you there immediately!" the old man said with a smile.

Lin Bai nodded in agreement.
