On this day, Mu Xuan continued to drink in the restaurant and gather information.
This was already the tenth day Mu Xuan had come to this restaurant to drink, so he naturally attracted the attention of some people.
“Fellow Daoist, are you drowning your sorrows?” While Mu Xuan was distracted, a short figure appeared beside the wine table and chuckled.
Mu Xuan looked at the other party’s appearance and made a guess of his identity. From the way he dressed, he looked like some broker.
“What is it?” Mu Xuan asked calmly.
The person chuckled and said, “Fellow Daoist, you’ve been drinking in the restaurant for many days. You must have encountered trouble, right? I might be able to help you resolve it!”
Mu Xuan said calmly, “Do you have a way to advance to the Heavenly Path
Realm?”
The person was shocked and forced a smile. “Fellow Daoist, your cultivation is good. Ahem, although I don’t have such a thing, I know a place that might sell it.”
As he spoke, he looked around and silently set up a barrier around him. Then, he whispered, “Fellow Daoist, have you heard of the black market?”
Mu Xuan’s heart skipped a beat. “There’s a black market in the Divine City too?”
“Of course, if you’re interested, I can introduce you…”
Mu Xuan was naturally tempted. He thought for a moment and nodded. “Sure. How many spirit herbs do you need?”
The person became even more excited. “I only need 100 spirit herbs as the introduction fee. However, I also need 100 spirit herbs to enter the black market…
Mu Xuan nodded slightly. This fee was not high, but it was definitely not low.
In the subsequent exchange, Mu Xuan learned the other party’s nickname: Skinny Monkey. He had entered the Limitless Realm, but his potential had been consumed. There was no possibility of improvement, and he didn’t want to leave the Divine City, so he started a broker business.
Skinny Monkey told Mu Xuan that the entire Divine City had three black market dimensions that were controlled by three faction alliances. Every black market dimension had a different specialization. The black market dimension that Mu Xuan was going to was famous for its fair transactions and good customer confidentiality.
The black market was not open every day. It was said that this was to avoid the pursuit of the Divine Palace.
The Divine Palace was the official institution that Emperor Donghua had personally established to manage the Divine City and the entire Eastern Divine Region. However, after countless years, the Eastern Divine Palace had long fallen into the control of the current guardian of the Eastern Divine Region.
Several nights later, Skinny Monkey brought Mu Xuan through a unique array formation and they arrived at a strange dimension. The entire dimension was enveloped in darkness. He couldn’t even see his fingers, as if it was the Dark Origin World!
“I’m Skinny Monkey!” As Skinny Monkey spoke, he shot out a rune. Soon, a door appeared in the darkness.
Outside the door stood dozens of sculptures, but Mu Xuan knew that they were definitely not sculptures. They were very likely non-living creatures like powerful puppets!
Skinny Monkey brought Mu Xuan into the door. Soon, many figures appeared. Their appearances were covered in a layer of black fog, making it impossible to see their figures clearly.
Skinny Monkey said in a low voice, “This is the Ten Directions Black Market. You can buy anything you want here! Of course, the prerequisite is that you have enough spirit herbs!”
“By the way, you’re not allowed to try to detect anyone’s identity in the Ten
Directions Black Market. Otherwise, the law enforcement team will show you
out…’
Mu Xuan nodded and looked at the two sides of the road with interest. Both sides were filled with stalls displaying all kinds of things.
Skinny Monkey introduced, “The origins of these stall owners are unknown and can’t be guaranteed. If you want to buy good things, you have to rely on your judgment! By the way, don’t make an offer casually. Once you do, you have to buy it. Otherwise…”
“I understand!” Mu Xuan smiled and looked at the things on the various stalls. Some of them even made him feel abnormally envious.
Skinny Monkey was not surprised and said, “There are very few good things in the stall. If you want to buy the real thing, you have to go to the shop opened by the Ten Directions Alliance. Here, it’s there…”
Skinny Monkey pointed at the magnificent shop in the distance. It was vast!
Mu Xuan had already observed the layout of the entire Ten Directions Black Market. It was similar to the mosquito incense. It was spiral in shape and in the center was the shop opened by the Ten Directions Alliance.
Mu Xuan and Skinny Monkey nodded and quickly passed by the stalls. Soon, they arrived at the core area and outside the shop called the Myriad Treasure Pavilion.
According to Skinny Monkey’s introduction, the Myriad Treasure Pavilion was the most impartial in the Ten Directions Alliance. It also had the best supply of goods. Of course, it was also the strongest.
The Myriad Treasure Pavilion looked magnificent, but the atmosphere of the entire shop was dark. Clearly, it was in consideration of the customers who came to the black market.
Skinny Monkey didn’t follow Mu Xuan into the Myriad Treasure Pavilion. Mu Xuan didn’t care and stepped into the pavilion alone.
“Sir, what treasure are you looking for?” A female Dao Fruit Realm shop assistant walked over and asked softly.
Mu Xuan didn’t waste his breath and went straight to the point. “I want the experience record of Limitless Realm cultivators breaking through to the Heavenly Path Realm!”
“Alright, guest. If it involves the Heavenly Path Realm, please come up to the second floor with me to discuss it in detail…” The woman smiled and led Mu Xuan to the second floor.
The furnishings on the second floor were even more simple, but Mu Xuan didn’t care at all. With the shop assistant’s introduction, several options appeared. There was a small risk in buying the breakthrough experience priced at 10,000 spirit herbs.
There was almost no risk in buying the information priced at 100,000 spirit herbs!
The complete set of information that was sold for 500,000 spirit herbs had various countermeasures. If the breakthrough failed, he would be refunded in full…
Mu Xuan was immediately speechless. He first bought 10,000 spirit herbs and checked them on the spot in the Myriad Treasures Store. Only then did Mu Xuan know that there were two difficulties in breaking through from the Limitless Realm to the Heavenly Path Realm.
Firstly was when the Dao Tree bloomed to create the universe. If his limitless great path was too weak, there was a risk of collapse.
Secondly, the birth of a universe required one to quickly inject one’s will into it and use one’s heart to replace Heaven’s Will to complete the transformation! This process had the risk of failure, and failure meant the collapse of one’s will and death!
At the end of this information, it detailed the characteristics of the information worth 100,000 yuan: By adjusting one’s limitless great path and giving a certain treasure to make the Dao Tree bloom for a normal “result”, and a secret technique that could safely “replace the will with the Heaven’s Will”!
Without a doubt, there should be more information about in the manual priced at 500,000 spirit herbs.
Mu Xuan thought for a moment and decisively chose to purchase the complete set of information that was priced at 500, 000 spirit herbs. Although it was very expensive, in order to advance without any risk, he could only spend a lot.
“Sir, please come again next time…” the shop assistant said in the gentlest voice. She was almost prostrating herself in front of Mu Xuan.
Mu Xuan was speechless and walked out of the Myriad Treasure Pavilion in silence.
Originally, Mu Xuan was prepared to leave the Ten Directions Black Market directly, but the chaos void mirror moved slightly and guided him to a stall. In the end, it pointed at one of the items on the stall—an ordinary-looking token.
“Sir, what have you taken a fancy to?” The vendor chuckled. His face could not be seen clearly.
Mu Xuan did not go straight for the token. Instead, he first took a look at a merchandise and another one. Then, he went for the token. In the end, he picked up a metal that he could not recognize at all. He felt that this unknown metal was a little strange…
“How many spirit herbs for four of these?” Mu Xuan asked.
The vendor chuckled and asked for an exorbitant price. “Customer, those four treasures add up to 18,000 spirit herbs!”
Mu Xuan was silent for a few seconds before nodding.. “Okay!”
