After entering the capital of the Shenguang Empire and finding an inn to settle down in, Zhou Donghuang took Su Mo out.
This time he came to the Shenguang Empire for only one purpose:
Get a batch of spirit stones.
At least, he must get enough spiritual stones that can allow him to enter the realm of Yuan Dan in the shortest possible time.
"The spiritual stones of Ziyun Star all come from the five spiritual stone veins of Ziyun Star... The five spiritual stone veins are in the hands of the five top sects of Ziyun Star, including Shenguang Sect and Xuanyin Sect. "
"There are five spirit stone veins. The one with the largest output produces about 2,000 spirit stones every year. The one with the smallest output produces about 1,300 spirit stones every year."
"Because of this, the five major sects jointly set a penalty of four thousand spirit stones for disrupting the black market. For any sect, it is a large sum of money."
…
After arriving in the capital of the Shenguang Empire, Zhou Donghuang also learned more about some of the spiritual stone resources in Ziyun Star.
Ziyun Star has only five spirit stone veins.
Moreover, they are all very small veins of spirit stone.
The five spirit stone veins combined, the annual production of spirit stones does not even exceed 10,000 pieces.
Because of this, spirit stones are extremely rare in Ziyun Star.
"Sure enough... on any planet, the cultivation environment formed by the spiritual energy filling the air also determines the spiritual stone resources of that planet."
Zhou Donghuang secretly said: "Although the cultivation environment of Ziyun Star is far better than that of the Earth in the Age of Dharma End, it is only average compared to those planets where powerful people are like clouds."
"Five such small low-grade spiritual stone veins... it is basically impossible to produce medium-grade spiritual stones."
Although, in Ziyun Star, spiritual stones are spiritual stones, and there is no distinction between low-grade, medium-grade, and high-grade spiritual stones. However, Zhou Donghuang knew that the spiritual stones in Ziyun Star were only the "low-grade spiritual stones" with the lowest grade among the spiritual stones. .
The five spiritual stone veins in the hands of Shenguang Sect, Xuanyin Sect and other five major sects are only low-grade spiritual stone veins, and they are the kind of low-grade spiritual stone veins that cannot produce medium-grade spiritual stones.
In some planets with rich spiritual stone resources in the universe, there are many medium and large low-grade spiritual stone veins, which can more or less produce some medium-grade spiritual stones.
The higher the grade of the spiritual stone, the more abundant spiritual energy is stored in it, and the purity is higher, and the effect of assisting cultivation is better.
"Of course, I can't expect to get middle-grade spiritual stones in Ziyun Star now... As long as I have enough low-grade spiritual stones, I will definitely enter the Yuan Dan within nine months!"
Zhou Donghuang's eyes flashed with confidence, and then he asked Su Mo to lead the way to the black market's stronghold in the capital of the Shenguang Empire.
The black market in the capital of the Shenguang Empire is located in the northwest corner of the capital. It is a vast building with only one floor. From the outside, it looks very ordinary. It is completely impossible to tell that this is a common industry belonging to the five major sects.
"Two people, admission fee is two hundred taels of gold."
At one of the gates of the black market, there were several middle-aged men wearing black clothes and stern faces standing. After stopping Zhou Donghuang and Su Mo, one of them spoke coldly.
When Su Mo heard this, he handed over a gold ticket with a denomination of one hundred taels.
At this time, a few middle-aged men in black clothes at the gate of the black market just let Zhou Donghuang and two people in.
"This black market is really black... When you enter, you will be charged an entrance fee of one hundred taels of gold per person."
After following Zhou Donghuang into the black market, Su Mo couldn't help but complain.
"Anyone who goes to the black market to find someone to do business with will not be short of this one hundred taels of gold."
But Zhou Donghuang completely understands this. "Set such a threshold is also to prevent people from entering to join in the fun. Only those who really need it will be willing to spend the admission fee of one hundred taels of gold."
"Too."
Su Mo nodded.
After entering the black market gate, there is a long and narrow passage.
At the end of the passage, there were four young women dressed as maids standing on both sides.
In their hands, each held a stack of black robes. "When two guests enter the black market square, they need to wear uniform hooded black robes to hide their identities."
After hearing this, Zhou Donghuang and Zhou Donghuang each took out a hooded black robe and put it on, wrapping themselves so tightly that they couldn't even see clearly what the other person looked like if they didn't get closer.
After passing through the passage, their eyes suddenly opened up, and a crowded square appeared in front of them at the right time.
There are many people gathered in the square, and there are also many confusing buildings and furnishings throughout the square. People are walking through it. One moment you are staring at a person, and the next moment you may not be able to find any trace of that person. , unless always following the other party.
However, in this black market, even people who come together must separate after entering the black market square and cannot go together.
On this point, when Zhou Donghuang and Su Mo walked out of the passage, they saw a warning in bright red text on a conspicuous wall outside the passage:
No one is allowed to enter the black market square. Anyone who violates this rule will be killed without mercy!
Now, in the black market square, there are not only a group of people in hooded black robes walking alone, but also some people in casual clothes walking back and forth, staring at the surroundings with vigilant eyes. It is obviously the maintenance of the black market. People of order.
These people are either middle-aged men or old people.
"Master... It is said that the people who maintain order in the black market of the Shenguang Empire, without exception, are all Yuan Dan monks from the Shenguang Sect. Of course, they are basically just early Yuan Dan martial arts monks."
Before leaving, Su Mo said to Zhou Donghuang: "In addition, the person in charge of the black market is said to be a silver elixir monk from the Shenguang Sect!"
Yin Dan monk is also a late Yuan Dan martial arts monk.
"Um."
Zhou Donghuang nodded lightly, and then said: "Let's go there."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Donghuang took the lead and walked in one direction of the Black Market Square, walking through the crowds and some buildings and furnishings among them, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Now, even if Su Mo wanted to go in and look for Zhou Donghuang, he would not be able to find him.
The hooded black robes issued on the black market are designed to be a bit bulky and loose at the back. It is impossible to identify a person from the back unless the person speaks and takes the initiative to reveal his identity.
However, in the black market, few people would take the initiative to speak.
Even if someone spoke, they would do so in a deliberately suppressed voice. Everyone was worried that their identity would be exposed and they would suffer disaster!
After all, anything that can be traded on the black market is relatively precious.
"Spiritual stone..."
After Zhou Donghuang entered the Black Market Square, he wandered around and saw independent cabins.
There are signs hanging outside some wooden houses, which describe the transactions initiated by the people inside the wooden houses.
"Half of the horn of the one-horned rhinoceros, an innate or above demon beast, in exchange for one liter of blood of a scale-armored demon beast above innate?"
Before Zhou Donghuang walked past a wooden house, he saw very conspicuous words written on the sign above the wooden house.
"Half of a horn from the innate monster Unicorn Rhinoceros? The people inside probably brought one horn for trading, but after the transaction was successful, they had to hand over the other half of the horn to the black market."
Zhou Donghuang secretly said.
"Spiritual stone?"
Before passing by the second wooden house, Zhou Donghuang paused because someone in this wooden house exchanged spiritual stones for something, "A spiritual stone in exchange for a pair of sharp claws from an innate extreme bird monster?"
Innate demon, the higher the cultivation level, the stronger the physical transformation.
Weapons forged with the sharp claws of innate extreme birds and monsters, unless they encounter spiritual weapons refined by martial arts monks above the Yuan Dan realm with the help of Samadhi True Fire, they are basically not afraid of any weapons.
"The spiritual stones of Ziyun Star are so valuable? Just one of them, and you want to exchange them for a pair of sharp claws of an innate extreme bird monster?"
Zhou Donghuang secretly smacked his tongue and took another step forward.
On some of the planets he visited in his previous life, it was basically impossible to obtain a pair of sharp claws from an innate extreme bird monster without more than five low-grade spiritual stones.
Of course, Zhou Donghuang knew that the man in the wooden house paid two spiritual stones.
However, one of the spirit stones will be handed over to the black market after the transaction is completed.
But even so, it still made him further realize how rare spirit stones are in Ziyun Star.
"This wooden house..."
The third wooden house that Zhou Donghuang passed by had a sign written on the outside: No one is in the house, guests can take off the sign and come in to initiate transactions.
Obviously, there are only black market middlemen in this wooden house.
The fourth wooden house had no sign outside, "There should be people trading inside."
…
There were hundreds of wooden houses in a row in the corner of the black market square. Although many of them used spiritual stones to initiate transactions, Zhou Donghuang did not have what they wanted.
"Look somewhere else."
After passing through a row of confusing buildings and furnishings again, Zhou Donghuang came to another corner of the Black Market Square, where there was also a row of wooden houses.
Now, there are many people wearing hooded black robes like him walking in front of these wooden houses. Occasionally, some people stop to look at the signs hanging outside the wooden houses, but most people just stop and take a look before walking away.
It’s rare to see someone delisting and walking into the cabin.
"Um?"
After passing several wooden houses, Zhou Donghuang stopped in front of a wooden house.
There was a sign hanging on the wooden house in front of me that read:
One hundred spiritual stones were exchanged for perfecting the method of Qi Gathering Pill that enhanced the sense of Qi twelvefold, but nearly 30% of the Qi Gathering Pill was incomplete. Those who are confident can come in by delisting.
"One hundred spiritual stones... this is quite a big deal."
Zhou Donghuang smiled calmly, stepped forward, took off the sign outside the wooden house, then opened the door and walked into the wooden house, and at the same time closed the door of the wooden house with his backhand.
Zhou Donghuang's actions attracted the attention of the people who had just passed by the wooden house. They all stopped and looked at the wooden house that Zhou Donghuang had just closed. "Has anyone gone in?"
"That is a Qi-gathering elixir that enhances the sense of Qi twelve times... Can anyone in Ziyun Star complete it?"
"In Ziyun Star, the best Qi Gathering Pill currently only enhances the Qi sense ten times."
"A hundred spirit stones are not that easy to earn."
