Chapter 201: Chapter 115: Black Market, Ancient Bamboo Slips, Five-Element Glazed Heart Lamp Acquired (Part 3)

After all, he himself was short on Spirit Stones and needed to set aside some to see if ’Brother Xiu’ could help him purchase the Five Elements Glazed Heart Lamp.

However, others had no such concerns, and the price quickly soared up to eight thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones before the bidding gradually ceased.

After all, there was only one ’Lotus Seed,’ and eight thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones was already somewhat inflated, so many didn’t continue to bid.

In the end, it was bought by a cultivator in a black robe.

Only after a cultivator walked down did Zhou Changwang step up.

"I have some finished Spirit Talismans on hand, mainly Thunder Talismans, Fireball Talismans, and Golden Shield Talismans. They aren’t of high grade but can be of some use in battle.

The Thunder Talisman is twenty-five Lower-Grade Spirit Stones per sheet, the Fireball Talisman is twenty, and the Golden Shield Talisman is eighty Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

Fellow Daoists who are interested can contact me."

Zhou Changwang spoke in a hoarse voice and then straightforwardly stepped down.

Naturally, there were cultivators with corresponding needs who took the initiative to contact Zhou Changwang.

By now, any slightly clever cultivator could perceive the crisis within the marketplace, and no one wanted to be without some Spirit Talismans on their person.

Thus, within a short time, all the Spirit Talismans Zhou Changwang had were sold out.

This also included a large number of ordinary high-grade talismans, which were all snapped up by several cultivators.

Later, when more people came, Zhou Changwang could only helplessly wave them off.

In the end, after summing it up, he had obtained a total of more than two thousand one hundred Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

Adding to the over three thousand he originally had, he finally gathered a total of five thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones again. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"What about preordering? I also need a batch of Spirit Talismans; I wonder if you would be willing to provide them?"

The one inquiring about the price was none other than Fairy Yueqing of the performance troupe, Zhao Yueqing. Upon learning that Zhou Changwang had no more stock, she persistently asked.

"Preorder?

I can’t guarantee there will be more Spirit Talismans available for sale.

I believe my friend also knows that Fengming Dock Marketplace is no longer safe."

Zhou Changwang shook his head and said.

He dared not guarantee that when the Black Market next opened, he would still be in the marketplace.

Fairy Yueqing, hearing this, could only nod disappointedly.

Quickly, as the last person walked down, the transaction ended as well.

Immediately after, the organizer of this Black Market, Wu Yuntian, took out a Jade Scroll and distributed it among the many cultivators. It recorded various tasks for the Cyan Leaf Alliance.

If interested, you could take on a task and then contact the other side to record it. Upon completion, the corresponding reward points could be claimed.

This was also the only obligation of joining the Cyan Leaf Alliance.

All Cyan Leaf Alliance cultivators were required to complete one small task every month. If no tasks were taken for three consecutive months, a medium task had to be completed. If still none were completed within a year, a large task was required.

The time limit was three years, and if no task was taken or completed within three years, they were automatically removed from the alliance.

Upon receiving the Jade Scroll, Zhou Changwang quickly discovered many recorded tasks, ranging from large to small.

Among the large tasks, there were three. One was to hand over a Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object, but main Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects were precious, and no one would hand them over.

The second was to submit a horn of the One-Horned Red Python, a Foundation Establishment Demon Beast, which wasn’t something ordinary cultivators could handle.

The third was an assassination task, with details available only after taking the task.

As for medium tasks, there were many, including obtaining materials, purchasing Cultivation Secret Techniques, Miracle Elixirs, and Earth Treasures, and also assisting with Array Formation, solving problems, etc...

In contrast, there were fewer small tasks, and the requirements were relatively simple.

At least, with Zhou Changwang’s abilities, he could easily handle most small tasks, and even the medium tasks weren’t difficult for him to complete.

Among them, there were even a few he could complete without leaving the marketplace.

Seeing this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If the tasks were too difficult, he would have considered freeloading for three years and then quietly withdrawing.

With that, this Black Market trip was considered over.

Finally, Wu Yuntian spoke up directly, saying, "Alright, this Black Market session is over. Fellow Daoists can leave on your own, or you can enter the audience seats from our backstage to watch our performance troupe’s show before leaving, at your discretion."

Zhou Changwang thought for a moment and silently followed them to the audience seats to watch the performance.

After all, with so many experts leaving together, who knew if someone might target them and attempt a robbery?

Among the Cyan Leaf Alliance’s cultivators, the crowd was mixed, including Tribulation Cultivators and even Evil Cultivators. It was safer to blend into the audience seats.

Not long after he sat down, Fairy Yueqing took the stage. Clad in a pink robe, she leaped gracefully, displaying elegant dance moves.

Furthermore, during the performance, she cast various spells.

The glow of various spells flowed across the stage, complementing her dance moves. It was truly dazzling, like an ethereal fairy descending to the world, stunningly beautiful.

"Fairy Qingyue’s spell power aside, her casting speed is indeed not slow. At least Small Success, and even Great Success is not lacking..."

Watching the performance, Zhou Changwang easily assessed her proficiency in spellcraft.

It was known that few cultivators invested so much energy into spellcraft.
