"Then what materials do you need? Maybe I have..." The Ghost immediately asked kindly.
Zi Tianhao immediately reported the names of the materials.
"This is a rare and precious material, I really don't have it. Besides, this material is not easy to collect." When the Ghost heard this, it immediately shook its head. However, it suddenly changed the topic. "However, if Brother Bai trusts me, come with me to a place. I guarantee that Brother Bai will be able to buy what he wants..."
"Where?" Zi Tianhao's eyes narrowed.
"Actually, a few years ago, I stayed in Xiao Yuan City for a period of time. I am very familiar with Xiao Yuan City City. Therefore... I also know places where ordinary people don't know about it, but I can also buy a lot of rare materials... " The Ghost explained.
"Are you referring to the black market?" Zi Tianhao guessed when he heard the tone of the Ghost.
"Brother Bai is really smart. That's right, there is an underground black market in Xiao Yuan City that specializes in selling all kinds of 'unknown' treasures..." The Ghost nodded and replied.
"There is actually an underground black market in the territory of Xiao Family?" Zi Tianhao immediately became interested.
"This Xiao Yuan City is the biggest weapon wholesale place in Magic Martial Realm. Such a large market will definitely have a shady side. You should know that the shops in Xiao Yuan City are all very black-hearted..." Ghost smiled disapprovingly.
"That's true." Zi Tianhao agreed. When he first arrived in Xiao Yuan City, in order to understand the market situation, he met a black-hearted boss who wanted to take his weapon for himself.
"Actually, we can't blame them for being black-hearted, because Xiao Yuan City is a place where every inch of land is worth money. Plus, they have to pay a large amount of protection fee to Xiao Family every year. Therefore... If these shops aren't black-hearted, they won't be able to make any money. " The Ghost replied.
"It seems like you really understand this Xiao Yuan City very well. However, does the Xiao Family not care about such an underground black market?" Zi Tianhao asked again.
"It's not that they don't care, it's because the person behind the construction of this underground black market is a big shot of the Xiao Family." Ghost said.
"Oh, who is it?" Zi Tianhao raised his brows. He never thought that there was such a big figure in the Xiao Family who would forsake his own interests.
"I'm not too sure about that." The Ghost shook its head and said.
"Then is the treasure sold in this underground black market reliable? Could there be some fake goods?" Zi Tianhao still asked cautiously. He did not want to make this trip for nothing.
"This underground black market is a place where dragons and snakes mix, and... The treasures that are sold are also unknown, so there must be a lot of counterfeits. But with Brother Bai's strength, these ordinary fake goods won't escape your eyes. Besides, if I bring you there, I guarantee there won't be any problems. The only thing he had to worry about was that he couldn't expose his wealth! There are quite a number of 'man-eating' fellows in this black market! " The Ghost's image metaphor said.
"If you say so, aren't you afraid that I won't dare to go?" Zi Tianhao smiled.
"I think there shouldn't be many people in this black market who can do anything to the two of us, right?" Ghost smiled.
"Then let's go." Zi Tianhao looked at the Ghost and nodded.
Of course, he still maintained a bit of vigilance towards the Ghost, because he felt that the Ghost definitely had a motive.
After that, the Ghost followed Zi Tianhao along the main street. After passing through two main streets, in front of them appeared a clear river that ran through the entire city. There were many wooden boats parked on both sides of the river. From time to time, there would be wooden boats rowing along the river.
"Brother, don't tell me you're seasick?" Ghost turned around and asked.
"No." Zi Tianhao shook his head.
"Then let's take the water route. It will be faster." After saying that, the Ghost walked towards the riverbank.
When they reached the riverbank, the Ghost jumped onto a dilapidated wooden boat that was leaning against the riverbank. Zi Tianhao followed suit.
"To the river cave..." The Ghost shouted at the boatman.
Very quickly, the boatman rowed the wooden boat forward.
Zi Tianhao also casually admired the scenery on both sides of the river. It was a prosperous scene everywhere. It could be seen that the Xiao Family had managed the Xiao Yuan City quite well. After passing through a few arched bridges, he suddenly felt his vision turn dark. Then, he found that the ship had turned into a tunnel that was as dark as a tunnel. It meandered along the tunnel for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Very quickly, he saw that everything before his eyes was brightly lit. On both sides of the river, there were many small and crude stalls on both sides of the river. Many Martial Artist came and went on the river bank, and there was an endless stream of them.
"Is this the underground black market?" This was the first time Zi Tianhao had seen such a strange underground black market in this world, but it could also be considered a real underground black market.
Ghost nodded.2
After rowing along the east side of the underground river for a while, the Ghost indicated for the boatman to stop. He lightly jumped onto the shore, and Zi Tianhao also jumped onto the shore.
After that, the Ghost brought Zi Tianhao to a remote corner not far away. There was a store that did not have a large front. When they reached the front door of the shop, they saw an old man who was dressed a little shabbily sitting on a rocking chair inside the shop. He held a broken fan in his hand and gently waved it.
"Elder Yu..." The Ghost entered the shop and called out.
"Yo, isn't this a little ghost? Why are you here? Shouldn't you be in the Asura Academy?" Elder Yu seemed very surprised when he saw the Ghost.
"Oh, I'm here to find a friend." The Ghost replied, then pointed at Zi Tianhao and said. " This is my friend, Bai Hao. He urgently needs to purchase a material. I think Elder Yu might have it. So... I brought him here. "
"Is that so? Little brother, what materials do you want..." When Elder Yu heard this, he immediately asked Zi Tianhao.
Zi Tianhao told him the names of the materials.
"What a coincidence that you came. I just got a batch of goods yesterday. I happen to have a material like this. Please wait for a moment." Elder Yu clapped his hands in response after he finished listening. Then, he turned around and walked into the shop. Not long after, he took out a material Zi Tianhao needed and walked out. He handed it to Zi Tianhao.
Zi Tianhao took the material and appraised it. It was indeed authentic, so he asked, "How much is this material?"
"You are a friend of the little devil, which means you are my friend. This is a gift for you." Elder Yu replied.
"How can I accept this?!" Zi Tianhao said.
"Take it. You just need to take care of Elder Yu's business in the future." The Ghost said to Zi Tianhao.
"Then I won't be polite." Zi Tianhao hesitated for a moment, then accepted the materials.
"Then we'll be leaving, Elder Yu." The Ghost said to Elder Yu, then left with Zi Tianhao.
"What is the relationship between you and Elder Yu?" After leaving the shop, Zi Tianhao asked curiously.
"I once saved his life." The Ghost replied.
"Oh, so you're his saviour." Zi Tianhao was surprised that the Ghost had such a kind heart.
"I know you don't have a good impression of me, but there are many times when people can't control themselves, but this doesn't mean that people who can't control themselves are bad people." The Ghost said honestly.
"Then why did you hide your identity as a disciple of the Ghost Clan and enter the Asura Academy? You should know that disciples of the Devil Faction are not allowed to enter the academy..." When Zi Tianhao heard this, he went straight to the point and questioned.
