xpression unreadable.Wu Chen's face of astonishment hadn't dissipated yet. Hearing Yu Kong's words, the unease in his heart finally eased a little.Qin Sang lowered her head, keenly sensing that Yan Wu...The strongman was still wearing the same mask, without any other disguise, so Qin Sang recognized him at once.

That strange sense of familiarity, appearing only once at first glance, Qin Sang estimated it was an illusion and didn't bother to investigate further. Unexpectedly, he encountered him again here.

“The old man was just about to close the secret passage. Fellow Daoist, you almost arrived too late. Please take a seat.”

The old man cast a spell as he spoke.

At the entrance of the darkroom, darkness writhed and a wall grew out of thin air, sealing off the entrance.

The strong man seemed to have rushed over, panting heavily. He didn't even wait to sit down before urgently asking, "Senior, did you say that someone is willing to exchange a Jing Shen Dan for my Qian Teng Hua Is this true"

Qin Sang heard this and secretly thought, "No wonder."

The Silent Spirit Pill is also a medicinal pill that can nourish the primordial spirit and heal the soul, but its efficacy is not as good as the Heart Meditation Fruit. It seems that the strongman is truly in urgent need of this kind of medicinal pill. He couldn't buy it at the trading fair, so he settled for the Silent Spirit Pill instead.

From the tone of his voice, he was invited by the old man.

The elder's brow furrowed imperceptibly and he replied, "This old man never speaks falsehoods. There is indeed a fellow practitioner who possesses the Jing Shen Pill and intends to sell it. However, whether the deal can be finalized depends on how both parties negotiate. This old man only acts as a facilitator and a witness, and cannot guarantee anything else. Fellow practitioner, please remain calm. The secret market will begin soon, and you'll know whether this old man is telling the truth or not in a while."

At this time, the person sitting to the left of the elder suddenly spoke up: "Senior, I see that this fellow Taoist is indeed in a hurry. Since the number of people has been gathered, why not start the transaction with us this time, and set an example for the other Taoists."

The speaker was dressed in a black robe that covered their head, obscuring them entirely. Despite this, her small stature stood out sharply against the bulky figure of the man beside her.

She also sounds like a female cultivator.

This woman seemed very familiar with the old man, her words carrying a hint of casualness.

Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!

The elder, with a smile like flowing water, said, "Since fellow Daoist has spoken so, this old man will briefly explain the rules of the secret market. Let's begin."

The rules in this secret market are simple. Everyone takes turns bringing out the treasures they want to sell and stating their terms. If other cultivators are interested in a treasure, they can join the bidding. Finally, you decide yourselves whether or not to trade. This old man does not interfere.

In the process of trade, regardless of the origin of the treasure or the identities of the parties involved, one hand pays and the other delivers the goods, and the matter is settled.

Before the city of secrets ends, no one may leave alone.

Besides, although this old man's strength is low, he still has some means. Please, those with ill intentions, put away your thoughts and don't make things embarrassing...

Having said this, the elder gestured to the female cultivator beside him. The female cultivator leaned in towards the restless strong man and explained softly, "Fellow Daoist, I am not qualified to participate in the auction, and only learned today from my senior that you have three Thousand Tendril Flowers in your possession. That's why I hurried here from Yin Mountain Pass. I do indeed have a Quiet Spirit Pill, its properties are intact, not damaged in the slightest, and I would like to exchange it with you, Fellow Daoist. Would you be willing"

The strong man nodded eagerly, "Willingly, willingly..."

Saying that, he proactively took out the three thousand vine flowers and placed them in the middle of the table, displaying them.

The jade box held three plump flowers, still very vibrant even after being picked. The gaze of everyone else was drawn to the thousand-vine flower.

At this time, someone spoke to the strongman, trying to trade a thousand vine flowers for something else, but the strongman refused.

"Besides elixirs that nurture the soul, I need nothing else!"

The female cultivator seeing this, didn't dare to wait any longer. She hurriedly nodded and said, "It is indeed a mature Thousand Tendril Flower. This is my Jing Shen Pill, please check it, Daoist Friend. If Daoist Friend has no other requests, we can exchange them now."

Saying that, the female cultivator also took out a jade bottle. Inside the jade bottle was a water droplet-shaped pill.

The burly man carefully inspected the pills in the jade bottle, confirming that they were indeed Jing Shen Dan. He let out a sigh of relief and was about to agree when he was stopped by someone.

“Hold on!”

Sitting at the front, a man with a wooden mask suddenly spoke, ignoring the ferocious glares from the strongman. He addressed the female cultivator, "Fellow Daoist, I am also interested in the Jing Shen Dan, and I am willing to offer a top-grade artifact worth more than a thousand vines flower. Fellow Daoist, please take a look at my artifact first, and then make a decision"

The man in the mask spoke as he placed a copper ring artifact on the table, allowing everyone to see it. It was indeed an excellent and rare artifact!

No one expected there to be any more twists and turns, they watched with interest how things would unfold.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!

Although the value of Jing Shen Dan is certainly not as high as that of a top-grade magic artifact, for those in urgent need, it is priceless. Both the strong man and the hooded man were in desperate need of this medicine, making it a hot commodity.

"This…"

The female cultivator's tone hesitated slightly, as if she was tempted by the excellent magic artifact.

>

Seeing this, the burly man couldn't help but feel anxious, almost grabbing the edge of the table to stand up. "I also have a magic weapon! You give me the Jing Shen Dan, and I'll give you my magic weapon too!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

The burly man hurriedly took out several magic weapons from his mustard seed bag, allowing the female cultivator to choose at will, but they were all high-grade magic weapons.

At this point, the strongman's voice changed. His previous voice must have been a disguise; in his panic, his true voice slipped out.

This is normal, nothing strange about it.

Only Qin Sang, upon hearing the strong man's true voice, narrowed his eyes abruptly. His gaze, concealed beneath his cloak, scrutinized the strong man intently, as if trying to pierce through the mask and discern his true appearance.

And on Qin Sang's face, there also appeared a strange, unexpected, and thick look of doubt.

In stark contrast to the Han's urgency, the masked man spoke in a leisurely manner: "Friend, you should think carefully. There are countless spiritual herbs similar to the Thousand Vine Flower, but the opportunity to exchange one for a top-grade magic artifact is not common. If it weren't for the need for the Stillness Pill, I wouldn't be willing to make a loss-making deal."

The female cultivator thought for a moment, then bowed slightly to the masked man and said with a hint of apology: "Thank you for your kindness, Daoist friend. However, although a top-grade magic artifact is good, Qian Teng Hua is very useful for my cultivation. I'm sorry!"

"It's a pity."

The masked man shook his head gently, did not continue to raise the price or entangle himself, and put away his magic weapon.

Here is the translated text:

The female cultivator turned her gaze to the strong man, "The Jing Shen Dan can be exchanged for a thousand vine flowers. I am already satisfied and dare not covet your Daoist artifact anymore. If you have no objections, we shall exchange it under the witness of this senior."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

The two then handed their respective treasures to the old man, and each paid the old man one-tenth of the value of the items in spirit stones. The transaction was complete.

From now on, it's settled. No one is allowed to go back on their word.

After twists and turns, the long-awaited Jing Shen Dan is finally in hand.

The strongman couldn't hide his excitement, clutching the jade bottle tightly in his hand. He looked at it again and again. The trading continued behind him, with even better treasures appearing, but none of them caught his interest.

Had it not been for the rules of the secret market forbidding him from leaving without permission, he would have left long ago. light and gold light collided, refusing to give way, falling into a stalemate.Xiang Yi and Huafufu Fatty went all out, the jade cone suddenly spun rapidly, black light converging towards the center,...
