My Skills Have Special Effects

It wasn't until the crowd gradually became louder and the bamboo raft docked again that Lin Yan's mind slowly calmed down. He couldn't wait to jump from the bamboo raft to the shore, and his heart finally fell to the ground.

In front of you is a long underground cave, with the dimly flowing Netherworld River on the right and a spacious river bank on the left.

Zhang San pointed to a checkpoint in front of him that was made of stones and looked like a low city gate: "Uncle, this is the entrance checkpoint of the ghost market. Everyone who enters the ghost market needs to pay one hundred coins. The exit is at the other end. , it also requires a hundred coins, so generally after entering the market, you will not enter and exit at will."

Lin Yan nodded: "Let's go."

There was a special guard at the checkpoint. After paying the fee to Zhang San one by one, the guard said in a cold tone: "In the ghost city, the use of force is strictly prohibited. Violators will be killed without mercy. That is an example!"

The guard pointed at three tall wooden pillars standing near the river. There was a person hanging on each of them. The muscles and bones of the whole body were twisted and broken, and the threads were miserable, like tattered linen, swaying.

"It is said that the ghost market is inhabited by warriors from the powerful realm, and there are also warriors from the hard realm in many of the big cave shops named A and B, so it is considered safe and stable."

Under the guidance of Zhang San, Lin Yan truly entered the ghost market buried deep underground.

The ghost market is built along the Netherworld River, but in the final analysis it is just a commercial market.

However, there are no artificially paved buildings. Natural caves with irregular sizes, areas, and orientations are used instead of pavements. Illuminated by the cold light of the Netherworld River, it has a cold and dark tone.

There are many caves scattered about, some large and some small. There are dim yellow lanterns hanging on the top of the caves, illuminating the rugged rock walls. In addition, most of the customers and shopkeepers are wearing black robes and masks, and people are coming and going. At first glance, it looks like One by one, ghosts are walking through underground ghost caves.

"The cave shops in the ghost market are divided into four levels from high to low, A, B, C and D. Each level is numbered with numbers. The higher the quality of the shop, the more and more complete the goods."

After the introduction, Zhang Sancai said: "Uncle, I wonder what you want to buy?"

"No hurry, how long will the ghost market last?"

"It usually lasts four hours."

"Then you take me for a walk first."

"okay!"

Lin Yan then followed Zhang San and visited the entire ghost market. In terms of scale, the ghost market was a bit like a simplified version of a snack street in his previous life, with caves as the pavement.

Not to mention the prohibited trade in poisons, slaves, weapons, etc., there are also many entertainment venues for eating, brothels, and animal fighting, all of which have many features that inspire the most bloody and dirty desires in people's hearts.

"Zhang San, do you know who is behind the ghost market?"

"I don't know. I just heard that many big men from the inner city often come here to have fun."

Zhang Sanyi pointed at the largest cave in the ghost market and swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva.

There is a cave marked Jiayi. According to Zhang San, it is the place between heaven and earth. It is the real gold-selling cave in Ding'an City. No matter whether you are a man or a woman, you can enjoy whatever you want to play and how you want to play. The most extreme happiness in the world.

After walking around the entire ghost market and briefly understanding the topography of the ghost market, especially the location of the exit, Lin Yan asked: "I came here mainly to buy poisons. Since you are familiar with the ghost market, you might as well tell me, Where is the best place to buy?”

"poison?"

Zhang San shrank his neck subconsciously, feeling a little scared.

But he didn't ask any more questions. He thought for a moment and said, "In the ghost market, there are many drug shops selling poisons, and most of them are concentrated in the Bing and D numbers. For example, there are numbers 17, 9, 5, and 4 in the T numbers. They sell poisons, but the types are very small and the quality is average.

"There are also two brands in the C brand, namely No. 6 and No. 3. It is said that they are opened by two major medical clinics in Neifang. They have a complete range of categories and guaranteed quality.

"Of course, the biggest one should be Cave No. 2. The poisons sold in this cave are all unique and highly poisonous. There are no antidotes in other places, but the prices are very expensive."

Altogether, there are seven stores.

Lin Yan nodded. It was worth hiring a guide. The layout of the ghost market was very confusing. He didn't know how much effort would be wasted if he was asked to find it by himself.

"Let's go, we went shopping one by one."

First, there is a D-shaped four-storey shop, which is very small and more like a stall. It is illuminated by a small lantern and is narrow and closed.

Lin Yan visited each store and found that the poisons sold in these four stores were different. They were Acutellaria baicalensis powder, Centipede Leech Water, Cuifeng Powder, and Guiming Powder.

At first, Lin Yan inquired at the drug store that these four types of poisons were common in Ding'an City.

The asking prices of the four stores are not cheap either. A bottle ranges in price from three hundred Wen to one tael of silver. Cuifeng Powder is the cheapest and Centipede Leech Water is the most expensive.

After shopping around, Lin Yan went to No. 2 store No. C. The scale was obviously larger. Not only did they have four kinds of poisons, but they also had one more specialty poison. However, the price was extremely expensive, about two taels of silver.

As for No. 2, this store specializes in poisons. Lin Yan just walked in and walked around and came out immediately.

"Fifty taels of spring ring water? Is a bottle of aphrodisiac so expensive?

"It's called a moment of life, twelve liang? Are you opening the door to grab money?

"There are also those Impermanence Pills and Posheng Pills, which are sold by the pill. I'm crazy about making money!"

Although he complained in his heart, Lin Yan still understood the logic of the poison market.

Poisons are not sold according to their toxicity, but are priced according to their concealment and ease of toxicity.

Four common poisons, such as Acutellaria baicalensis powder and Cuifeng powder, are colored, smelly and have a strong taste. Most people will not be affected by these poisons at all, so they are naturally cheap.

Although the poisons sold in Cave No. 2 are not colorless and odorless, they are also hidden. They can be poisoned in specific foods and are difficult to detect, so they are naturally expensive.

Lin Yan did not need the concealment of poisons. Of course, he followed the strategy of low price and high volume, and focused on the basic four poisons.

He returned to the shop in Cave No. Bing 6 again, and at first he persuaded the shop owner to give him an equal amount of each poison by spending half a tael of silver.

Then he pretended to go to the hut, found a hidden corner, tasted it directly, and tasted and tested it in sequence according to the thinking of controlling variables in the previous life.

“The medicinal properties of this Cuifeng Powder are actually stronger than the Cuifeng Powder I took before.

"However, in terms of pure cost-effectiveness, Guiming Powder is the most cost-effective. Ding No. 9 is 350 cents per bottle, and Bing 6 is 400 cents per bottle. However, its efficacy is much stronger than Cuifeng Powder."

As the name of Gui Ming Powder suggests, when you drink Gui Ming Powder, its color will be pulpy red and its taste will have a bitter-sweet taste.

Then Lin Yan went to Ding No. 9 Cave Shop and Bing No. 6 Cave Shop again, bought a bottle of Guiming Powder each, and tested it again covertly.

"The medicine at Cave Bing6 is obviously more potent and the portions are a bit larger. You really get what you pay for. The quality of products from small shops is easy to vary."

Immediately went to Cave Shop No. 6 Bing and bought Guiming Powder.

"Guest, there are not many people buying Guiming Powder. This is our entire inventory. There are sixteen bottles in total. There is really no more. How about you take a look at my specialty Seven Insect Poison..."

"No need, sixteen bottles will be sixteen bottles. According to the discount we agreed on, it will be six taels in total."

Lin Yan handed over the silver with a slight pain.

The clerk in the cave shop obviously didn't expect such a big business today. He happily took the silver coins, and thoughtfully took a piece of black cloth, tightly wrapped the sixteen bottles of Guiming Powder, and handed it to Lin Yan. .

After leaving the shop, Lin Yan sighed slightly. He couldn't help but spend money. This item alone wiped out half of his savings.

He now has great energy and blood, and consumes a lot of energy every day. Originally, a bottle of Cuifeng Powder could last him half a month, but now even a bottle of Guiming Powder would probably only last four or five days.

If he waits for his Qi and blood to transform, one bottle will probably only last two or three days.

Calculating this, one month's light consumes energy and blood, which requires at least three taels.

Including Yun Ti Decoction, Bone Tempering Ointment, etc., these truly expensive precious medicines, I really don’t know how much they cost.

Of course, according to the same efficient plan, if others want to do it, the cost will be at least ten times as much as his.

"Longmen Pavilion has resources for talented disciples. After the Qi and blood have transformed, you may be able to find an opportunity to enter the Guangchuan Mountains and lie about picking up the precious medicine to restore your talents..."

Shaking his head, he didn't want to think about it for the time being.

He glanced back at Zhang San who was following him. This man was very sensible, didn't ask a question, and had a good service attitude.

The main affairs had been completed and it was still early. Lin Yan said: "Zhang San, is there anything related to martial arts in the ghost city?"

Zhang San responded promptly: "Yes. In Cave A2, there are martial arts elixirs and weapons for sale; Cave A3 is a gladiatorial arena where warriors fight."

Lin Yan's heart moved slightly: "Let's go and have a look."

The two first went to Jiasan Cave, which was a huge space filled with torches.

In the dim light of the fire, three arenas were surrounded. In two arenas, two people were fighting for their lives. In the third arena, one person was fighting with two ferocious hounds that looked like calves.

There was clearly a betting ring in this arena, and the crowd in the audience was shouting angrily. The smell of breath, feet, and sweat filled the air, and the air was filled with smoke and stench.

There are many artificially dug seats on the stone walls on both sides. Many men and women in rich costumes sit high up, drinking and having fun while overlooking the ring, elegant and calm.

Speaking of which, if you want actual combat training, this arena is a good place.

But Lin Yan's life is stable now, and he doesn't have to risk his life to fight to the death for a breakthrough.

After only staying for a while, he couldn't stand the noisy environment, so he left and went to Jiaerdong to see more.

A, B, C and D are ranked according to size. The first, second and third holes of A are not connected together.

Jia Er Cave is not far from the exit of the ghost market, just opposite Yi Er Cave. Lin Yan has been here just now.

Passing by the entrance of Yier Cave again, Lin Yan saw that there seemed to be many passers-by outside.

Looking inside, I saw Poison Master Gan Yang sitting inside the cave, with two waiters waiting on him. They were doing something unknown, which attracted the attention of passers-by.

"Let's go."

Lin Yan didn't have any curiosity, so he turned back and walked into Jiaer Cave.

The environment layout in Jiaerdong is obviously much more elegant, and the cabinets and cabinets are neatly arranged.

Although the interior is still a gray rock wall, many lanterns are inlaid with square nails. Together with the light blue light of the Netherworld River, the entire cave is illuminated with elegance and purity.

"Well done, guest."

In the darkness, a plump woman dressed in red walked out with a breath like blue.
