Chapter 227 Seeing Through the Disguise
The Pale-Faced Middle-Aged Man before him had undergone some kind of sophisticated Disguise.
Similar to Qin Ming's True Fiend Illusion, it possessed the wonder of different tunes played with equal skill. Not to mention ordinary Cultivators, even Golden Core Ancestors would probably be unable to see through it.
However, under Qin Ming's Law Breaking Double Pupils, the other party's exquisite Disguise was as good as nothing in his eyes.
Furthermore, his Cultivation was also concealed. The other party's actual Cultivation was Perfected Foundation Establishment.
This person was none other than the Demonic Path Overlord who had not shown his face for a long time—Lin Zixiao!
'It's actually him! What is his purpose in infiltrating the Black Market?'
Qin Ming's thoughts raced rapidly. This Demonic Overlord coming here was definitely not a good sign.
He must have some kind of scheme.
However, Qin Ming's current Cultivation Strength was not afraid of the other party. He was different from the self who was chased around everywhere in the past. Today was not the same as yesterday.
Perhaps, even if Lin Zixiao had now achieved a Breakthrough to Perfected Foundation Establishment, he might not be his Opponent anymore.
The Pale-Faced Middle-Aged Man disguised as Lin Zixiao also flashed a subtle and complex emotion in his eyes when he saw Qin Ming.
Clearly, he vividly remembered the incident in Green Sun Market when he almost died under Qin Ming's Divine Sword Thunder Guiding Technique.
"This Fellow Daoist is late. That bottle just now was my last stock."
"If you really have a need for Jade Mystery Pill, you can wait for the upcoming Black Market Auction to begin. I have already sent a bottle for Auction," Qin Ming replied with a normal Expression, pretending not to have seen through the other party, his tone calm.
The Pale-Faced Middle-Aged Man disguised as Lin Zixiao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then still said with a smile, "This one also boasts of having some good things. Fellow Daoist Qin, would you like to take another look?"
Qin Ming's heart tightened. Seeing Lin Zixiao's persistent appearance, if he didn't Trade with him, it would easily arouse his suspicion.
"Second Order Perfection Demon Beast Essence Blood, I also have it here, and even a Demon Core. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Qin needs it?" After Lin Zixiao finished speaking, he took out a Jade Bottle and a Jade Box.
Fellow Daoist Qin took it and looked, and it was indeed as the other party said.
At the same time, he had a new assessment of Lin Zixiao's Strength. This Second Order Perfection Great Demon was probably also personally killed by the other party.
This Demon Beast's death time was no more than three days.
"I heard that Fellow Daoist Qin has exclusively brewed an Immortal Wine called 'Jade Unicorn Wine'. This one has long admired it. May I use these two items to exchange for two jars of Fellow Daoist's Jade Unicorn Wine?" Lin Zixiao said with a smile.
Qin Ming's surface remained unchanged, unable to understand why the other party would use two top-grade Demon Beast Materials to exchange for only two jars of Spirit Wine. What was he plotting?
However, looking at the Demon Beast Essence Blood in the other party's hand, the Bloodline Grade was not low. After pondering for a moment, he took out two jars of Jade Unicorn Wine from his Storage Bag and handed them to Lin Zixiao nimbly.
"Since Fellow Daoist is so kind, then Qin will have to accept your kind offer."
"Transaction!"
Lin Zixiao smiled and took the Spirit Wine handed over by Qin Ming, putting it away without even looking at it.
Qin Ming was getting more and more confused about what medicine the other party was selling in his gourd.
He just wanted to wait for the Black Market Auction to end, and then get the Spirit Stones from Xue Zhili and leave here as soon as possible.
Afterwards, Qin Ming wandered around the Black Market again and picked up some things.
At three quarters past noon.
The Black Market Auction began, and Xue Zhili, as the host, also walked onto the stage.
After a passionate opening speech, items that were rare to see outside were brought out one by one.
Because this Trade, all the Cultivators participating were at least at the Early Foundation Establishment Stage.
The Auction process was also exceptionally lively, and Xue Zhili made a fortune.
After dozens of items were successively auctioned off, another item was brought up.
Xue Zhili slowly unveiled the red cloth, and a Fragment of Bronze Mirror appeared in front of everyone.
The moment Qin Ming saw this item appear, even his Mind State, which was always as steady as an old dog, showed a hint of unprecedented fluctuation! 'It's actually the other half of the Magic Treasure Fragment!'
'I searched everywhere without finding it, but it came easily without any effort!'
'Hahaha!'
'I didn't expect to encounter this item here. It seems that my Refining Natal Magic Treasure matter can be put on the agenda.'
'But first, I have to Auction this Fragment off and leave here as soon as possible.'
Xue Zhili began to introduce, "This is an item entrusted for Auction on Behalf by a Fellow Daoist from Wu Kingdom. It is a Fragment of Magic Treasure."
"Starting Price, six hundred Mid Grade Spirit Stones!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cultivators began to bid one after another. "Seven hundred Mid Grade Spirit Stones!"
"It's actually a Fragment of Magic Treasure, but it's a bit of a chicken rib! It's already destroyed and can't exert any Power. It's useless to Auction it."
"Although it's only half a Fragment, it also has research Value. This old man bids seven hundred and fifty!"
"Eight hundred!"
Qin Ming observed for a while and timely began to bid, "Eight hundred and fifty."
"Nine hundred!"
A familiar voice rang out. Qin Ming followed the sound and saw that it was actually Lin Zixiao who was also bidding.
His Expression became a little unsightly.
'This Lin Zixiao won't be going against me, will he?'
"Nine hundred and fifty."
"Nine hundred and eighty!"
As the price got higher and higher, more and more Cultivators withdrew from the bidding.
In the end, only Qin Ming and Lin Zixiao remained.
Lin Zixiao also saw Qin Ming's interest in this item, and then followed the bid. In fact, he didn't see any mystery in it.
"One thousand Mid Grade Spirit Stones."
Qin Ming cursed Lin Zixiao in his heart, and reported the price calmly.
Xue Zhili on the stage did not expect that a Fragment of Magic Treasure could also be auctioned for such a high price, creating revenue again. The smile on his face could hardly be contained.
"Since Fellow Daoist Qin is interested in this item, then this one will not compete," the Pale-Faced Middle-Aged Man disguised as Lin Zixiao said with a fake smile.
Qin Ming breathed a long sigh of relief when he heard this.
"One thousand Mid Grade Spirit Stones once!"
"One thousand Mid Grade Spirit Stones twice!"
"One thousand Mid Grade Spirit Stones three times!"
"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Qin!"
Xue Zhili was also efficient in his work, and directly ordered someone to send the Bronze Mirror Fragment to him on the Scene.
Qin Ming took the Fragment in his hand and observed it. After confirming that it was the other half, he was immediately excited.
However, he concealed it very well and silently put away the half of the Bronze Mirror.
Next, Xue Zhili announced the Final Auction Item of this Trade Fair.
When the Jade Mystery Pill was brought out by the maid, the enthusiasm of all the Cultivators at the Scene was ignited! "Top Grade Second Tier Spirit Fruit, Five Elements Origin Qi Spirit Peach, one."
"After taking it, it can increase Magical Power Cultivation. At the same time, the first time you take it, it can extend Lifespan by thirty years!"
Boom! Those young Cultivators were fine. They still had a lot of remaining Lifespan to pursue the Great Dao.
But those old and frail Cultivators were different. They all stared at the Five Elements Origin Qi Spirit Peach on the stage, their eyes revealing madness.
The Spirit Peach was even more fatally attractive to those Great Cultivators in the Late Foundation Establishment Stage and Perfected Foundation Establishment.
Thirty more years of Lifespan meant that they could have more time to find Fated Chance to pursue the Golden Core Path.
