chapter 228

"Five Elements Origin Qi Spirit Peach, starting price eight hundred Middle-Grade Spirit Stones."

"Each bid increase must not be less than fifty Middle-Grade Spirit Stones."

As Xue Zhili's words faded.

The lower level of the Black Market Trade Fair became a clamorous scene, and the Cultivators desperately strained their voices, starting to bid one after another.

Those Early Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators, looking at the auction price surging ahead, could only sigh in admiration and despair.

Such Extreme Grade Spirit Fruit naturally could only be bid on by those Foundation Establishment Cultivators with deep foundations.

Moreover, once this Spirit Fruit was auctioned off, it was estimated that many Cultivators would choose to consume it on the spot, otherwise in the Black Market where good and bad are mixed, they might be targeted by people with ulterior motives.

Whether they could safely walk out was debatable; only when it entered their stomachs would it be the safest.

"One thousand two hundred and fifty!"

"One thousand three!"

…

The auction continued, and Qin Ming himself had not expected that this Five Elements Origin Qi Spirit Peach would be so popular.

It was almost like the Scene of Low-Level Rogue Cultivators fighting over Foundation Establishment Pills.

Thinking about how he still had over eight hundred and sixty years of Lifespan, and Spirit Peaches he couldn't finish eating, Qin Ming was filled with emotion for a moment.

At the end of the auction, only a few old monsters at the Perfection of Foundation Establishment Stage were left bidding at the Scene.

To Qin Ming's great surprise, Lin Zixiao, disguised as the Pale-Faced Middle-Aged Man, had also been following the bidding.

And each time he bid, he only raised the price by fifty Spirit Stones more than the previous Cultivator.

"Two thousand!"

"Two thousand and fifty!"

Gradually, the competition among those Perfected Foundation Establishment Cultivators also reached a white-hot stage.

"Two thousand two hundred!"

As a vigorous and forceful voice fell, no Cultivator followed up with a bid.

The bidder was none other than Old Devil Wood Crane, whom Qin Ming had seen before.

He stared intently at the Spirit Peach on the stage, it seemed this price was also the limit he could offer.

Listening to the sound around him quieting down, a trace of nervousness flashed across Old Devil Wood Crane's Expression.

"Two thousand two hundred and fifty!"

Lin Zixiao's calm and unruffled voice sounded, completely shattering Old Devil Wood Crane's fantasy.

Xue Zhili's face was almost split with laughter, seeing that no one was bidding anymore, he immediately announced, "Two thousand two hundred and fifty, once!"

"Two thousand two hundred and fifty, twice!"

"Two thousand two hundred and fifty, three times!"

"Transaction!"

"Congratulations to this Fellow Daoist!"

As Xue Zhili's gavel settled the matter with one blow, the Five Elements Origin Qi Spirit Peach on the stage was delivered by a maidservant to the Pale-Faced Middle-Aged Man transformed by Lin Zixiao.

Old Devil Wood Crane's eyes were almost bleeding, and at the same time, countless gazes all fell on the Pale-Faced Middle-Aged Man.

Lin Zixiao did not look sideways, after paying the Spirit Stones, he put the Five Elements Origin Qi Spirit Peach into a Jade Box and stored it away.

'It seems this person does not intend to consume it directly.'

Seeing this Scene, many Cultivators Inside the Field began to have sinister intentions.

After all, those who could come to the Black Market Trade were definitely not lacking in vicious and malicious people.

"Alright, this Black Market Auction has successfully concluded!"

"Fellow Daoists, you may communicate with each other, or leave on your own."

"When the next Trade Fair begins, this old man will invite everyone to participate again."

Next, Xue Zhili announced the end of the Black Market Trade.

After Xue Zhili finished instructing his subordinates, he stepped forward and came to Qin Ming, beaming, and handed him a pouch of Spirit Stones.

"Hehe! Fellow Daoist Qin, here are the Spirit Stones after deducting the Commission, a total of three thousand eight hundred and twenty-five Middle-Grade Spirit Stones, please check them."

Qin Ming took the Spirit Stone Pouch, glanced inside, and after confirming there were no mistakes, he stored it away.

"The amount of Spirit Stones is correct, Daoist Friend Xue, this Qin has Important Matters and will take his leave first."

"Alright then! When Fellow Daoist Qin has free time, you can come to my Residence in Azure Sea Immortal City for a gathering." Xue Zhili said with a smile.

Afterwards, Qin Ming did not linger further, and followed the way he came back to the ground.

Suddenly!

He glanced around in the crowd, but unexpectedly found that there were many Cultivators with ill intentions, their gazes falling upon him.

'Don't reveal your wealth, ah, it seems I've been targeted.'

'Xue Zhili's security measures are too poor, I won't come next time.'

'Fortunately, it wasn't a wasted trip after all, I unexpectedly managed to gather the other half of the Bronze Mirror.' Qin Ming walked outwards while vigilantly observing the surrounding Cultivators.

But his brow furrowed, and then he sensed Lin Zixiao, disguised as the Pale-Faced Middle-Aged Man, walking towards him.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, what a coincidence?"

"How about traveling together?"

Lin Zixiao asked with a smile on his face.

"No need, this Qin and Fellow Daoist are not going the same way, let's part ways here." Qin Ming refused without even thinking.

Lin Zixiao was startled upon hearing this, he did not expect Qin Ming to answer so straightforwardly.

He had to force an awkward smile, "Hehe, then fate will bring us together again."

"I felt like we were kindred spirits with Fellow Daoist Qin at first sight, just wanted to make friends."

Qin Ming cursed inwardly at this sly old fox, most likely he wanted to plot against him again.

They were indeed kindred spirits… but Lin Zixiao could never have imagined that his Disguise had already been seen through by Qin Ming.

"Next time for sure, next time for sure!"

"This Qin has Important Matters on hand, so I will take my leave first."

Qin Ming replied, and quickened his pace, exiting that Artifact Crafting Shop.

He could still feel that he was being firmly locked onto by no less than a dozen Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators' Divine Sense.

'This Black Market has many good things, but the risks are also not small, ah.'

'I don't know what happened to Xue Zhili this time, so many Rogue Cultivators actually mixed in.'

'If this group of Rogue Cultivators doesn't know what's good for them, then don't blame me for being ruthless!'

Qin Ming's Expression remained unchanged, he exited the Market alone, and then used Flight to fly southwards.

As soon as he left, more than ten Cultivators of various appearances also flew up and chased after him.

These more than ten Cultivators were obviously not a group.

"So they are all Fellow Daoists of the Green Woods, hehehe!"

"That Fellow Daoist Qin from Wei Kingdom is Easy Prey!"

"We saw him first."

"We all eat from this bowl, don't pull this trick."

"After capturing that kid, then we'll see who's better at fighting."

"Hurry and catch up, otherwise he'll escape."

"Rest Assured, a mere Early Foundation Establishment Stage Spirit Plant Master, how could he escape from the palms of our Blade Peak Mountain Five Devils?"

"Too wishful thinking."

More than ten Escaping Lights flashed and disappeared one after another, speedily rushing towards Qin Ming's direction.

After a short while, this group caught up to Qin Ming.

Then this group of Rogue Cultivator gang quickly surrounded Qin Ming tightly.

Among them, a bald, strong man said to Qin Ming with a sinister smile:

"I have long heard of Moon Gazing Island Lord Fellow Daoist Qin's great name, I also heard that Moon Gazing Island is full of treasures, but unfortunately, the Mist Illusion Realm outside is too powerful, no chance to see it."

"Or else…"

"Moon Gazing Island Lord, take us rough men on a tour?"

"I can guarantee, when Fellow Daoist Qin dies in a moment, you can suffer less physical pain."

Qin Ming was surrounded by this group of Rogue Cultivators, expressionless, showing no sign of panic.

He roughly scanned these Cultivators, most were Early and Mid-Foundation Establishment Stage, only three Late Foundation Establishment Stage.

'Just right, my Natal Spirit Plant Yin Yang Mysterious Vine, hasn't been nourished for a long time, since this group of Rogue Cultivators have delivered themselves to my door, they can be used as fertilizer.'

A smile appeared on Qin Ming's face, and he spoke, "Moon Gazing Island's treasures are naturally many, but this Qin just happens to have brought a few great treasures with him, I can let everyone admire them."

"Oh? What great treasures? Quickly take them out and let us see."

This group of Rogue Cultivators looked at Qin Ming being surrounded, but instead revealed a calm and unhurried appearance, and began to secretly become somewhat vigilant.

Doing this profession, being able to become Foundation Establishment Rogue Cultivators, then they also have a certain professional quality.

However, their side had so many people, even Perfected Foundation Establishment Cultivators at this moment, would be unable to escape.

Therefore, they also wanted to see what tricks Qin Ming was going to play.

Qin Ming smiled slightly, and immediately patted the Spirit Pet Bag.

Three huge figures, emitting terrifying auras, suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

But this was not the end of it.

Only to see him immediately flick his fingers, Spirit Light flashed in front, and then two more turtle Puppets emitting Mid-Foundation Establishment Stage Aura leaped out.

A series of creaking and rattling sounds, and two golden lights lit up in their eyes.
