Chapter 724: Chapter 744: I’m Not Afraid of Demonic Beasts, I’m Afraid of People_1

"The lowest price is three million, usually around four million, but I’ve seen the highest price sold at 7.5 million spirit stones."

Lin Chen widened his eyes in surprise and asked, "So expensive?"

Sun Wang laughed, "Maybe its cost itself is not high, but who would expect it to be so rare in the market? As demand exceeds supply and wealthy people are involved, the prices are naturally driven up."

Lin Chen suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.

Now he had a total of just over two million spirit stones in his pocket, not even reaching the historical low price of three million.

Lin Chen smiled bitterly and confessed his poverty, "If it’s that expensive, I won’t be able to afford it even if I come across it in the black market."

Sun Wang laughed, "It’s normal that you didn’t inquire about the price before and were unprepared. How many spirit stones do you have now?"

Although wealth shouldn’t be shown off, Lin Chen honestly answered, "Around 2.6 million."

Sun Wang laughed, "It’s not too little either. Let’s wait and see. It’s one thing whether it’s available or not. If no one competes for it, it might not be impossible to buy. And if you have other valuable things, you can also sell them on the spot in the black market. If the deal is made, you just need to pay some handling fees."

"Even if I don’t buy it this time, let me show you around first. The black market is periodically held, and if you stay in Raging Lion City, you can go there yourself whenever you have time. Just linger for a while, and chances are you’ll find one."

Lin Chen thanked him, "Thank you, Boss Sun, for showing me the way."

Sun Wang laughed heartily, "It’s just a helping hand. As I’ve said before, people like us can rely on making more friends. In the future, if you or your friends have any business, you can come to me, and we’ll all make money together."

At the end of the banquet, Lin Chen quickly grabbed the bill, and Sun Wang didn’t refuse, cheerfully stating that he would treat him later that evening.

On the second day of the flying boat trip, they arrived at Raging Lion City.

"The black market will be held tomorrow evening. You can rest in the city first, and I’ll take you there tomorrow."

"Alright!"

After exchanging contact information, Sun Wang left.

Lin Chen came to the inn recommended by Sun Wang and found a row of huge, high sheds behind it, which were actually built specifically for demonic beasts.

Lin Chen gave Longlong a Ling Medicine to appease it.

Being unfamiliar with the area and knowing that it was Celestial Beast Sect territory, Lin Chen didn’t feel safe leaving Longlong outside of the city. What if someone found out and killed or captured it?

It was normal for demonic beasts to appear in the city since it was the territory of the Celestial Beast Sect. Don’t you see that even the inn has a place specially reserved for the beasts to rest?

Raging Lion City was at least twice as big as Bai Tao City and much more prosperous. Lin Chen took a walk around the city, then returned to the inn.

Magical artifacts and treasures were everywhere, as were medicinal materials, but Lin Chen didn’t buy anything.

He didn’t even have enough spirit stones to buy a Beast Taming Bag, let alone any other items.

On the second evening, Lin Chen received a message from Sun Wang saying that he was waiting for him outside the West City Gate.

Lin Chen went to the West City Gate and met Sun Wang.

"The black market is about to begin. Let’s go."

Sun Wang led the way, but their direction was towards the outside of the city.

"Boss Sun, is the black market outside the city?"

Sun Wang smiled and explained, "The inside of the city belongs to the Celestial Beast Sect. If it were to be bold and have a fixed location inside the city, wouldn’t it be easily discovered by the sect? So, it’s usually outside the city, with different locations for each black market to prevent detection..."

Lin Chen didn’t move, "It’s not safe outside. I’ll bring Longlong with me."

Sun Wang’s expression flickered for a moment, but it was hidden by the darkness, "There’s no need to bring it. It’s just near the outskirts of the city, not far from the city, and there won’t be any powerful demonic beasts."

Lin Chen laughed, "I’m not afraid of powerful demonic beasts; I’m afraid of the people participating in the black market. In this desolate place, if something goes wrong, wouldn’t it be easy for them to get rid of me without anyone knowing? It’s better to be cautious."

Sun Wang was about to say something else, but Lin Chen had already blown the Bone Flute. The sound of the flute traveled far, and Longlong, who was at the inn, soared into the air and quickly arrived at Lin Chen’s side.

Sun Wang said with a smile, "It’s good to bring it along, but you can’t bring it into the black market. There are rules in the black market."

"Rules?"

Sun Wang explained, "For the safety of the guests, demonic beasts are not allowed to enter the black market."

Lin Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly, "Alright, I’ll have it stay nearby."

Sun Wang nodded and didn’t say anything more.

After flying a few dozen miles, Sun Wang pointed ahead, "The black market is right in front of us. You can leave your demonic beast here."

"Alright!"

Lin Chen walked to Longlong, whispered a few words, then rubbed its head. Longlong obediently fell into the woods below.

Lin Chen turned around and smiled, "Alright, Boss Sun, let’s go."

After flying a few more miles, Sun Wang stopped and pointed to the valley below, "Here it is."

Lin Chen looked at the seemingly peaceful valley below and asked in confusion, "It doesn’t seem to have any people around."

Sun Wang pointed at a mountain wall nearby, "It’s inside the mountain cave. Of course, it won’t be so swaggering on the outside. How to deal with it if it’s discovered by someone? Just follow me."
