Destiny is ashes

Chapter 81 Meritorious Service
“How do I get to the black market?”

An Jing asked bluntly, and Tie Shou raised his eyebrows: "I really want to go... You kid, after buying two guns and other supplies, you don't have much good deeds left. What can you buy if you go?"

"Let me be frank with you. Although the black market is on the edge of Xuanye City, it is also within the city. Without a city entry permit, you can't sneak across even if you are a Qi-refining cultivator."

He reminded, "The entry permit is not cheap. The average wilderness person cannot earn that much merit in their lifetime."

"How expensive?" An Jing was not scared: "I think I can try hard."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Tie Shou's eyes became interested. He looked at the package that An Jing had not yet completely unpacked: "It seems that there are a lot of good things hidden on him... The city entry permit requires 1,500 merits."

Tie Shou quoted a price: "Any other good stuff you have hidden? Take it all out. Don't worry, I, Tie Shou, have a good reputation. Besides, you helped Ah Qing, so I won't cheat you."

"Row."

An Jing was not afraid that Tie Shou would try to rob him or cheat him.

Even if the other party is not Huo Qing's elder, he can still be trusted. Even if the other party is at a high level of Qi training and has a formation, the worst that can happen is that he picks up the things and uses the Fuxie Sword to open up the Taixu Channel and run away.

With these guns, he will most likely be able to eliminate the Demon Cult's Chosen One on the shuttle. In other words, there is a guarantee.

However, An Jing has always been greedy.

After finding a way to solve the problems in the Huaixu Realm, An Jing also planned to earn more money and gain a deeper understanding of the various information about the Tianyuan Realm.

The black market is obviously not a place that ordinary people can go to. Just like this recycling hut needs to be introduced by someone with connections, the black market will most likely also require credentials and other proof of recommendation.

At the very least, you have to prove that you have the ability to shop on the black market.

So, An Jing took out all his real treasures.

Some pills.

Tieshou didn't take it seriously. Even though the Qi-boosting Pills from Huaixu Realm looked special, they were ultimately just some kind of life-threatening elixir. There was nothing special about them.

Some leftover tusk meat and tusk teeth.

Tie Shou was more interested in the pig fangs: "The fangs of some wood-type spirit beast? Unfortunately, the quality is not high. They are only spirit beasts in the Awakening Spirit Realm. I can only give fifty merits for the two pairs combined."

Are you more interested in this? An Jing recalled the creepers outside the recycling hut. Tie Shou should be a wood cultivator? There are also wooden roots on his prosthetic limb. He just showed his skills and wasted his spear cultivation.

The reason why he was so nice to me, besides because of Huo Qing, was it also because he sensed that I had the treasure he needed?

However, what he sensed from himself should not be the pair of pig teeth.

After thinking for a while, An Jing finally took out the "black jade skull".

The core of the vine monster is the demonic skeleton of a wood-type monk who died in the ruins cave and has cultivated the magical "Jade Marrow Bone".

When An Jing took out the black jade skull, Tie Shou, who was originally looking at An Jing with a smile, was stunned for a moment, and then asked in astonishment: "Demon bones? Or... the skull of the wood demon?"

He stood up from behind the counter and said in a shocked tone, "You killed a monster?! A wood monster?"

The black jade demon bone was the trophy An Jing obtained when he killed the vine monster in the ruins cave.

The vine monster is quite powerful, and is particularly good at killing on first sight. If one is caught off guard, even a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi Refining can be easily killed by it with its extremely powerful mental attack, let alone a cultivator who has not even reached the Qi Refining stage.

Although he didn't know the specific abilities of this wood demon, Tie Shou was very clear about the difficulty of the battle. Logically speaking, a spiritual apprentice like An Jing would never win.

“This is a meritorious service.”

After a brief loss of composure, Tie Shou sat back behind the counter. He looked at An Jing carefully and said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect that you actually have something good on you, and it's a wood-type magic bone."

"Are you sure you want to take it out for exchange? As a wilderness person, I'm afraid you don't know its true value."

"Sword Spirit, are the monster materials of any special value?"

An Jing did not reply directly to the other party's words, but communicated with the Fuxie Sword Spirit in the Sea of ​​Gods: "From the looks of him, it seems that he has other uses?"

"After a monster that has been transformed by demonic energy dies, its remaining essence, once purified, will actually have a high resistance to demonic energy."

The sword spirit is a know-it-all in this regard: "Once upon a time, a [Honorable Great Demon] was killed, and his spine was extracted. A divine craftsman forged a 'Thousand Corpses and Ten Thousand Bones Sword of Death'."

"This sword is a first-rate demon-slaying weapon. It is not tainted by any demonic influence, but can absorb demonic energy to grow stronger. The demons it kills will fight to the death and self-destruct before they die, so as to prevent the creation of another demon-slaying weapon."

"This world has also suffered from demonic disasters. Today, the entire world is still polluted by demonic energy. The demand for monster materials is definitely not low. They can even be considered strategic materials."

"I see."

An Jing understood clearly that in a world full of pollution, the value of anti-pollution materials can be imagined. No wonder the boss Tie Shou called it a "merit".

But for An Jing, this is not very useful.

His resistance to destiny is too strong. If even his destiny cannot be stopped, ordinary monster materials are useless, and useful high-level monster materials are not something he can get now.

Returning to reality, An Jing nodded slightly to Boss Tieshou: "Of course I know, to guard against demonic contamination... but for me, entering the city is more important."

"It's good that you have this understanding... You wild people obviously take this very seriously."

Tie Shou took the black jade demon bone from An Jing, thought for a while, and said frankly: "Although this demon bone is not of high level, it is what I need urgently."

"According to the market price, it should be around 1,700 to 900 merits, but I won't take advantage of you. I'll give you 2,100 merits based on the premium."

When Boss Tieshou was silent, An Jing was actually wondering if the other party wanted to take the things and not acknowledge them, and wanted to rob the thieves - but neither he nor the Sword Spirit sensed any hostility.

Noticing An Jing's silence and vigilance, the big man shook his head and smiled: "I, Tie Shou, can have such a big name in this land of Floating Dust Plain because I am trustworthy and I don't take advantage of others that I shouldn't."

"You are my lucky star, kid. You saved Ah Qing and brought me the Luofu military core and wood magic bone that I desperately needed. If you weren't the one, I would have thought..."

Having said this, he stopped talking.

And An Jing did not ask: "City entry permit?"

The big man waved his iron hand and said, "I've arranged everything for you."

"I'll also arrange a pass for you to enter the black market. If you don't mind, you can stay at my place first. When the pass comes, I'll take you there in person."

"If you ask for a recommendation, tell me my name, Zhang Gu the Iron Hand."

"Besides that, what else do you want to buy?"
