Chapter 21: Martial Artists’ Black Market!
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
When Su Chen returned, his clothes were tattered and dirty, and his body was emitting a foul smell.
When he walked to the gate of the Taichu Base, the soldiers didn’t dare to stop him.
Because Su Chen’s body was emitting a powerful aura, he was obviously a martial artist. This kind of martial artist who dared to enter the wild alone was usually very powerful.
Su Chen bought a set of clothes from the shop on the street, booked a hotel room, and took a shower.
He returned home after he was refreshed.
At home, Su Han was studying.
Su Chen was relieved. After being away for so long, he was most worried about Su Han.
The next morning.
Su Chen went out to look for the martial artist’s black market.
The martial artist’s black market was a trading place that only martial artists could enter.
Some prohibited goods could be bought here but martial apprentices and ordinary people were not qualified to enter.
Su Chen had heard about the martial artist’s black market from his parents a long time ago but he had never been there, so he was very curious.
Now that he had finally reached the martial artist level, of course, he wanted to take a look.
The two guards who were at the entrance of the black market were both martial artists.
They were responsible for determining the cultivation level of the people who came here.
The two martial artists sized up Su Chen. He looked very unfamiliar but he was indeed a martial artist, so they did not stop him.
They continued to walk inwards from the entrance, following a flight of stairs that led to the underground.
There was a very vast space here, at least over a thousand square meters.
Many shops were displayed. Many martial artists walked among them, sizing up the treasures they wanted.
Soon, Su Chen found a shop that sold materials for fierce beasts. He sold all the materials he brought back and sold them for a total of 300,000 yuan.
“Martial Hall!”
Su Chen came to the door of a shop.
This was the largest shop in the entire black market.
After walking in, a female attendant walked over and asked respectfully, “Sir, what do you need to buy? We have an ample supply of goods here.”
As those who could come here were definitely martial artists, the attitude of the service staff was very good.
“Do you have any martial artists’ cultivation techniques here?”
“Are you talking about the essence energy body tempering technique?” The female attendant smiled and said, “Our Martial Hall has low-grade essence energy body tempering techniques, and higher-grade ones need to be purchased from the large base.”
“Essence energy body tempering technique?”
This was the first time Su Chen had heard of it.
There were too few martial artists in the Taichu Base, so it was very difficult for ordinary people to come into contact with the knowledge of martial artists. The academy would not teach these things either.
“Do you have a list of things to buy? I want to take a look.”
The female shop assistant quickly brought over a list and handed it to Su Chen.
After roughly scanning through it, Su Chen discovered that there were many strange items on it.
There were materials for fierce beasts, rare herbs, weapons, and some special secret manuals. However, the prices were also very expensive. They were all worth a few million yuan.
The more Su Chen looked down, the more he felt that he was poor.
The few million yuan he had on him could not buy anything here. At most, he could only cultivate at the martial artist level.
“I want a low-grade elemental energy body tempering technique, a list of martial artists from the Taichu Base, a fierce beast illustrated handbook, five sets of mid-grade fierce beast blood, and two bottles of elemental fluid.”
The female shop assistant quickly counted the trees.
“A total of 1.8 million yuan.”
This was already half of Su Chen’s wealth. Fortunately, he had obtained the Shadow Assassin’s wealth previously. Otherwise, he really wouldn’t be able to afford it.
One hand handed over the money, the other hand recieved the goods.
After completing the transaction, the female shop assistant suddenly opened her mouth and said, “Sir, our Martial Hall’s Honorable Manager wants to see you. I wonder if you have the time?”
Su Chen was stunned.
Why did the Martial Hall’s manager want to see him?
However, out of curiosity, he still chose to meet them. Under the guidance of the shop assistant, Su Chen came to the second floor of the Martial Hall.
“It’s actually a girl?”
When he saw the Martial Hall’s manager, Su Chen was shocked.
He thought it would be an old man or at least a middle-aged man. He didn’t expect it to be a young woman.
Su Chen used his duplication ability to check her information.
Human: Luo Ling
Cultivation Talent: Advanced
Sword Art Talent: Intermediate
Speed Talent: Inferior
Su Chen was shocked!
This was the number one genius he had seen in the Taichu Base!
Advanced talent, plus two attribute talents!
Compared to this kind of genius, Liu Mubai was nothing.
He didn’t care about intermediate sword art talent because Su Chen’s blade art had already been cultivated to a very high level.
Her low-tier speed talent, if replicated, could make his speed a little faster.
However, there was only one chance to replicate, and Su Chen still hoped to use it on her high-tier cultivation talent.
Advanced cultivation talent, there might not even be many in the entire Taichu Base!
“Hello, my name is Su Chen.”
Su Chen smiled and stretched out a hand.
Luo Ling looked at him with some surprise. After hesitating for a moment, she still stretched out her beautiful jade-like hand and shook Su Chen’s hand.
In an instant, Su Chen had duplicated the other party’s advanced cultivation talent.
When he separated his hands, a strange smile appeared on Su Chen’s face.
Advanced cultivation talent, obtained!
“Hello, I’m Luo Ling, the general manager of the Martial Hall.”
Luo Ling didn’t beat around the bush and said directly, “Su Chen, you should have just become a martial artist. Do you know the origin of our Martial Hall?”
Su Chen shook his head.
“Your Martial Hall… should be a big force in the Taichu Base.”
“Not really.” Luo Ling shook her head.
“Although the Taichu Base is very small, its geographical location is very important. There are also 300,000 residents stationed here. And our Martial Hall was sent by the big base to be stationed here.”
