Chapter 5: Qingcheng Black Market, Ultimate Martial Arts

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In the bedroom, Jiang Yi looked at the new items that popped up after the system authority upgrade, his heart itching.

At the moment, the only thing he could cash in was the blood quenching pill.

But this bottle of pill represented the Jiang family’s life savings, which was equivalent to what his parents fought for with half of their lifetime…

After thinking for a long time, Jiang Yi gritted his teeth!

“Forget it. The resources that can increase my strength are the real resources. Otherwise, I can only keep them in my hands!”

In the end, his desire for the gift pack overcame all his worries.

Of course, it was also because Jiang Yi no longer had any use for the blood quenching pill. So, it would be a waste to keep it in his hands. It was better to sell it and then buy the system’s gift pack to improve himself.

However, he needed a reliable channel to sell such an expensive item.

“It’s best to do it in private. After all, the value of the blood quenching pill is not low. Selling it in public is too eye-catching.”

Jiang Yi planned in his heart and sent a message to Xiao Jinwei.

The blood quenching pill was given to him by his parents. Of course, he couldn’t let his parents know about the sale. Jiang Yi was worried about others. After thinking about it, he could only ask Xiao Jinwei, his good brother who had played with him since he was young.

After a long time, the call was finally picked up.

Without waiting for Jiang Yi to speak, Xiao Jinwei was a little unhappy and said angrily, “Old Jiang, what are you doing? It’s the middle of the night. If you have something to say, come to my bed!”

“…”

Jiang Yi smiled awkwardly. “Well, I want to ask you if there are any places that can sell cultivation resources, preferably those that are not monitored by the authorities.”

Xiao Jinwei was still in a daze. She said vaguely, “If you want to sell such things, go to the black market!”

“There are a few workshops in the northeast of Qingcheng that sell some cultivation resources secretly in the name of proper shops. There are all kinds of people there, and it’s not easy for the authorities to monitor them”

As she said that, Xiao Jinwei sent an address and said hurriedly, “I’ll give you the address. Do you have anything else? If you have nothing else, go to sleep!”

“Don’t, Old Xiao. Tell me the situation of the black market. Also, do you know anyone there? This is my first time, I’m afraid of being cheated…”

Under Jiang Yi’s persistent pestering, Xiao Jinwei could only introduce him to a lot of things about the black market. She also recommended a black market boss named Zhao Xinting.

According to Xiao Jinwei, although Zhao Xinting was in the black market business, his reputation had always been very good.

Just like that, the two of them chatted for two to three hours.

It was not until four o’clock in the morning, when the sky brightened, that Jiang Yi hung up the call. Following the address given by Xiao Jinwei, he took a taxi and headed straight for the black market.

Soon, the car arrived at the northeast corner of Qingcheng and stopped at a place that looked like a grocery market. Jiang Yi got out of the car and began to look for an antique shop called “Xinting”.

That was the shop that Xiao Jinwei had mentioned.

After going around in circles, Jiang Yi finally found a shop. The archway on top of it had the words “Xinting” carved on it.

Jiang Yi pushed open the door and entered. The owner of the antique shop was a middle-aged man. When he saw Jiang Yi entered, he greeted him warmly, “Young man, do you want to buy antiques or genuine goods?”

Jiang Yi remained calm, “Genuine goods.”

Genuine goods referred to the trade of cultivation resources.

When the owner heard this, his expression suddenly became much more serious.

“Follow me.”

As he said this, the man brought Jiang Yi into the back of the shop.

As he followed the man to turn the counter, Jiang Yi’s eyes suddenly opened up.

Further in the back, there was actually a luxurious meeting room. There were two chairs on the black transparent alloy floor, and the surface was covered with E-grade dire beast skin.

On the table in the middle, there was a stack of documents.

The entire meeting room gave off a simple yet formal feeling.

After inviting Jiang Yi to sit down, the middle-aged man introduced, “My name is Zhao Xinting. How may I address you, young friend?”

Jiang Yi didn’t waste any time. He took out the blood quenching pill that his father had given him and said, “Jiang Yi. Boss Zhao, please check the goods.”

Zhao Xinting took the bottle containing the blood quenching pill. After opening it, his eyes moved slightly.

“This is the blood quenching pill. The market price is two million, but there is often a price but no market. May I ask how much you want to sell it for?”

Jiang Yi said softly, “Two million two hundred thousand. You also said that this thing has a price but no market!”

“Oh?”

Zhao Xinting’s eyes flickered.

This young man in front of him was quite good at following the flow.

However, Zhao Xinting still shook his head and said, “Young friend, you must be joking. Since you came to the black market to trade, you must understand the rules of this industry. Even if I snatch something from you with unknown origins, no one will say anything. Young friend, do you still want to take advantage of me?”

Jiang Yi suddenly revealed a friendly smile. “I’m just joking. I’ve long heard that you are an open person. Now it seems that it is indeed so. How about this, how about 2 million…”

Following that, Jiang Yi and Zhao Xinting had a negotiation on the price.

In the end, the blood quenching pill was sold for 1.8 million.

Compared to the original price, it was sold for 200,000 less.

However, Jiang Yi did not feel regretful. Since it was a gray business, he had to be prepared to suffer a loss.

And this time, Jiang Yi finally had enough funds on hand!

A full 1.8 million!

After leaving the black market, Jiang Yi rushed home without stopping.

At this time, the sky was already bright. Although Jiang Yi did not sleep the whole night, he did not feel sleepy. Instead, he opened the system in high spirits and began to recharge.

The total price of the daily gift pack, weekly gift pack, and monthly gift pack was 111,000 yuan. Jiang Yi thought for a moment and recharged 120,000 yuan first.

In any case, the gift packs would continue to refresh in the future. As for the rest of the money, Jiang Yi could just wait for the gift packs to refresh before continuing to buy.

After recharging successfully, Jiang Yi immediately bought all three gift packs.

The system notification sounded one after another.

[Ding. Daily gift pack purchase successful. Congratulations, host, for obtaining blood Qi pill x 1.]

[Ding. Weekly gift pack purchase successful. Congratulations, host, for obtaining a portion of iron beast blood.]

[Ding. Monthly gift pack purchase successful. Congratulations, host, for obtaining Ultimate Martial Arts!]

As the notification sounded, two items immediately appeared in Jiang Yi’s system space. One was a bottle of sparkling blood, and the other was a cultivation method written on an unknown material.

As for the blood Qi pill, Jiang Yi directly used it and increased his blood and Qi by 100 points. At the same time, his blood and Qi value also increased to 488!

Next, Jiang Yi began to look at the remaining two items.

Just as Jiang Yi thought, the iron beast blood could be directly taken orally to temper the internal organs and blood vessels in the body and increase the overall strength of the body.

To put it bluntly, it was used to cast the body and increase the defense.

In the cultivation of a martial artist, the body was the foundation of everything.

The increase in the strength of the body, the Qi and blood, the explosive power, and the strength of the attack that a martial artist could withstand would certainly have a qualitative leap. For Jiang Yi, who had just entered the martial arts, this was simply a timely help.

For a moment, Jiang Yi’s face was full of smiles.

“I’ve really made a huge profit by buying the iron beast blood!”

However, when he looked at another item, which was the item description of the Ultimate Martial Arts, the faint smile on Jiang Yi’s face immediately turned into ecstasy!
