Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1431: Chapter 1430: Menghan Black Market

”After all, I haven’t given up on my old trade...”

Su Han said with a smile, waving his hand, and ten pills appeared in his palm.

Using ten different types of medicinal ingredients, he refined ten pills, achieving a one hundred percent success rate.

Moreover, looking at the patterns on the pills, along with the deep green glow, it was easy to discern that these ten Heart-Restoring Pills were all top-grade!

”Not bad.”

Su Han smiled and continued with alchemy.

...

Just like that, a full month passed in the outside world, while nearly two years went by inside the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son.

All the medicinal ingredients Su Han had at hand were used up.

The number of pills he had refined was exactly one hundred!

This number wasn’t particularly high; the medicinal ingredients bought with a million spirit crystals only produced a hundred pills, which didn’t seem much to be happy about.

However, all these hundred pills were top-grade, and if taken to an auction, their total value would not be less than 1.5 million spirit crystals.

That meant earning 500,000 spirit crystals in a month, at the very least.

”The medicinal ingredients I purchased, the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion is aware of that, so they probably know what kind of pills I’m going to refine. Some ingredients can’t be bought here.”

In contemplation, Su Han stepped out from the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son.

”Senior Brother Su, you’re out of seclusion? Did the pill refining succeed?” Ye Xiaofei promptly stood up.

”Not bad.”

Su Han instructed, ”Stay inside the cave mansion for now. Until I return, don’t go anywhere to avoid danger.”

”Yes.” Ye Xiaofei felt a happiness in her heart.

Senior Brother Su still cared so much about her!

He was the only person who had truly been good to her since she was abandoned by her parents.

Su Han was unaware of her thoughts as he prepared to leave.

But suddenly recalling Ye Xiaofei’s background, he paused and turned back, saying, ”Inside here is a Heart-Restoring Pill and a thousand spirit crystals; use them to cultivate diligently.”

”This...”

Ye Xiaofei was dumbfounded.

She was happy with how good Su Han usually was to her, but this level of kindness nearly overwhelmed her...no, it left her at a loss.

”Rest assured, I have no ulterior motives toward you, but remember, you belong to me, Su Han. I’ve already purchased you for a thousand years.”

Su Han tugged playfully on Ye Xiaofei’s ponytail and then placed the items in front of her before departing.

”Senior Brother Su...”

Watching Su Han’s retreating figure, Ye Xiaofei’s eyes became moist with emotion.

”If you truly have no ulterior motives, I, Ye Xiaofei, will never forget this kindness.”

...

After leaving the cave mansion, Su Han passed through the Outer Sect Disciple Mountain and arrived at the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion’s square.

As he passed, many people greeted him, and Su Han was very courteous in return.

On the square was a teleportation formation capable of sending people to other planets.

In fact, the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion had several teleportation formations, but they all transported within the Star of Heavenly Mountain. Only this one could send people to external planets.

”Senior Brother Su, where are you heading?” The one guarding the teleportation formation was an outer sect disciple, changed every shift.

Su Han pondered for a moment, then smiled, ”Which nearby star of Heavenly Mountain has the most black markets?”

”Black market?”

The outer sect disciple was surprised, ”Are you sure you’re talking about a black market and not a marketplace, Senior Brother Su?”

”Yes.” Su Han nodded.

There’s a fundamental difference between a black market and a marketplace.

In simple terms, a marketplace is like a bazaar, trading various items, and in those places, forces like Heavenly Mountain Pavilion have disciples stationed.

But the black market is different.

No one manages the black market; killings are as common as family meals, with absolutely no guarantee of personal safety.

Yet, more people visit black markets than marketplaces.

Because no forces collect taxes on the black market, whereas they do in marketplaces.

Moreover, one can find many items in black markets that are unavailable in marketplaces, with transactions remaining highly discreet, not requiring exposure, and many secrets won’t be leaked.

In marketplaces, they immediately know what you’re selling or buying, almost figuring out how many hairs you have.

For Su Han, going to a marketplace isn’t an issue, but what about purchasing something confidential?

Therefore, the black market is most suitable.

”As for black markets...”

The disciple thought for a moment and said, ”The closest black markets to the Star of Heavenly Mountain are Mu Stake Black Market, Heavenly Mansion Black Market, Wenling Black Market, and Menghan Black Market.”

”Among these, Menghan Black Market is naturally the largest, with a wide array of trade items, and the prices are higher than the other three black markets.”

”Most importantly, Menghan Black Market is relatively safer, as Patriarch of the Shen Family oversees it.”

”Patriarch of the Shen Family?”

Su Han raised his eyebrows, then chuckled, ”Then please teleport me to Menghan Black Market.”

”Certainly.”

The outer sect disciple nodded, ”Menghan Black Market is on the Star of the Shen Clan. Our teleportation formation isn’t directly in Menghan Black Market, so Senior Brother Su will have to walk a bit upon reaching the Star of the Shen Clan.”

”No problem, how much in spirit crystals?” Su Han asked.

”The round trip totals two hundred spirit crystals. Senior Brother Su, hold onto this card. During your return, simply place the card on the teleportation formation for free transport.”

”Thank you.”

Su Han took the card and stepped into the teleportation formation, disappearing from view.

After he left, the outer sect disciple sighed, ”What a wealthy person, spending two hundred spirit crystals without blinking an eye. That’s equivalent to my annual salary.”

...

Su Han didn’t hear the outer sect disciple’s sigh.

Two whole hours later, Su Han emerged from the teleportation passage.

The expansive Star of the Shen Clan appeared before him.

Compared to Heavenly Mountain Pavilion, it was much more bustling here, as almost everywhere were small-scale marketplaces with no grand power suppression. If there was indeed one, it would be the Patriarch of the Shen Family.

The Patriarch of the Shen Family was a loose cultivator whose lineage became a family rather than a power.

The Menghan Black Market was founded by the Patriarch of the Shen Family, named after his daughter, Shen Menghan.

Of course, a black market remains a black market; with ’black market’ in its name, the Shen Family doesn’t interfere much with Menghan Black Market.

Along the way, both sides were filled with throngs of people. Viewing from the Void, you could see various people engaged in trade.

There were pills, weapons, defensive equipment, as well as spiritual techniques, and cultivation techniques.

It was extremely common, but in terms of levels, the general standard was... quite low.
