Chapter 227 Seeing Through the Disguise
The fair-faced middle-aged man in front of me had undergone some kind of clever disguise.

It is similar to Qin Ming's true demon illusion, and it has the same effect. Not to mention ordinary cultivators, even the Jindan ancestor may not be able to see through it.

However, under Qin Ming's 'law-breaking double pupils', the other party's exquisite disguise seemed useless in his eyes.

He also concealed his cultivation level. His actual cultivation level was the perfect foundation.

This person is none other than the evil hero who has not appeared for a long time - Lin Zixiao!

"It's him! What is his purpose in getting into the black market?"

Qin Ming's mind was racing. The arrival of this demon owl was definitely not a good sign.

There must be some conspiracy.

However, Qin Ming's current cultivation strength makes him not afraid of the opponent. Today is different from the past when he was chased around.

Maybe, even if Lin Zixiao has now broken through to perfection in the foundation building stage, he is no longer his match.

When the fair-faced middle-aged man disguised by Lin Zixiao saw Qin Ming's eyes, a hint of obscure and complex emotions flashed across them.

Apparently, he almost died at the hands of Qin Ming's magic sword and lightning technique in Qingyang Market that year, and he still remembered it vividly.

"You are late, my fellow Taoist. The bottle you just had is the last of Qin's stock."

"If you really need Yuxuan Pill, you can wait for the next black market auction to start. I have already sent a bottle for auction." Qin Ming looked calm, pretending not to have seen through the other party, and replied in a flat tone.

The white-faced middle-aged man that Lin Zixiao transformed into was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then he continued to smile and said, "I claim to have some good stuff, would you like to take another look, Qin Daoyou?"

Qin Ming's heart trembled. Seeing Lin Zixiao's relentless attitude, if he didn't make a deal with him, it would make him suspicious.

"I have the essence and blood of a perfect second-level monster here, and even a monster pill. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Qin needs it?" After Lin Zixiao said this, he took out a jade bottle and a jade box.

Fellow Daoist Qin took it and looked at it, and it was indeed as the other party said.

At the same time, he had a new assessment of Lin Zixiao's strength. He thought that this second-order perfect monster was probably killed by the other party himself.

This monster has been dead for only three days.

"I heard that Fellow Daoist Qin brewed a kind of fairy wine exclusively, called 'Yu Lin Wine'. I have admired it for a long time. Can I use these two things to exchange for two jars of Yu Lin Wine from Fellow Daoist Qin?" Lin Zixiao said with a smile.

Qin Ming showed no sign of abnormality on the surface. He couldn't understand why the other party wanted to use two top-grade monster materials to exchange for only two jars of spirit wine.

However, looking at the monster blood in the other party's hand, the bloodline quality was not low. After thinking for a moment, he took out two jars of Yulin wine from the storage bag and handed them to Lin Zixiao neatly.

"Since you are so kind, Qin will have no choice but to decline your offer."

"make a deal!"

Lin Zixiao took the spirit wine handed over by Qin Ming with a smile and put it away without even looking at it.

Qin Ming was becoming increasingly confused about what the other party was up to.

He just wanted to wait for the black market auction to end, take the spirit stones from Xue Zhili, and leave here as soon as possible.

Afterwards, Qin Ming took a stroll around the black market and bought some things.

Three quarters past noon.

The black market auction began, and Xue Zhili, as the organizer, also stepped onto the stage.

After an impassioned opening speech, items that were rarely seen by the outside world were carried out one by one.

Because of this transaction, the lowest level of cultivators participating are those in the early stages of foundation building.

The bidding process was also extremely hot, and Xue Zhili made a fortune.

After dozens of items were auctioned off, another one was brought up.

Xue Zhili slowly lifted the red cloth, and half a piece of bronze mirror appeared in front of everyone.

The moment Qin Ming saw this thing appear, even his mood, which had always been as calm as an old dog, showed an unprecedented fluctuation!
"It's actually the other half of the magic weapon!"

‘There is no place to be found after wearing iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there! ’

'Hahaha! ’

'I didn't expect to encounter this thing here. It seems that I can put the matter of refining my life treasure on the agenda.'

"But first we need to take a picture of the debris and leave here as soon as possible."

Xue Zhili began to introduce: "This is an item that a fellow Taoist from Wu State commissioned to auction. It is a fragment of a magic weapon."

"The starting price is six hundred middle-grade spirit stones!"

As soon as he finished speaking, cultivators began to bid. "Seven hundred middle-grade spirit stones!"

"It turned out to be a fragment of a magic weapon, but it's a bit useless! It's already destroyed and can't exert any power. There's no point in taking a picture of it."

"Although it is only half a fragment, it is still worth studying. I will give you 750 yuan!"

"Eight hundred!"

Qin Ming observed for a while and started bidding at the right time: "Eight hundred and fifty yuan."

"Nine hundred!"

A familiar voice sounded, Qin Ming looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Lin Zixiao who also made a bid.

His face became a little ugly.

"Is Lin Zixiao going to fight me?"

"Nine hundred and five."

"Nine hundred and eight!"

As the price got higher and higher, more and more monks on the scene withdrew from the bidding.

In the end, only Qin Ming and Lin Zixiao were left.

Lin Zixiao also saw Qin Ming's interest in this thing, so he followed him to take pictures. In fact, he didn't see what it was about.

"One thousand middle-grade spiritual stones."

Qin Ming cursed Lin Zixiao secretly in his heart and quoted the price in a calm tone.

Xue Zhili on the stage had not expected that a piece of magic weapon fragment could be sold at such a high price, generating revenue again. He could hardly stop smiling on his face.

"Since Fellow Daoist Qin is interested in this item, I won't fight for it." Lin Zixiao, who was disguised as a pale-faced middle-aged man, said with a forced smile.

Qin Ming let out a long sigh when he heard this.

"One thousand middle-grade spirit stones once!"

"One thousand middle-grade spirit stones twice!"

"One thousand middle-grade spirit stones three times!"

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Qin!"

Xue Zhili was also efficient and ordered someone to deliver the bronze mirror fragments to him on the spot.

Qin Ming took the fragment in his hand and examined it for a while. After confirming that it was the other half, he became very excited.

However, he concealed it very well and put away half of the bronze mirror silently.

Next, Xue Zhili announced the finale item of the trade fair.

The moment the Yuxuan Pill was brought out by the maid, the enthusiasm of all the cultivators present was ignited.

As soon as the auction started, those old monsters who had completed their foundation building could no longer sit still.

They began to bid one after another, and the price of Yuxuan Pill continued to rise.

However, what made Qin Ming feel strange was that Lin Zixiao was sitting in the crowd and only raised the price a few times and then stopped bidding.

This gave Qin Ming a bad feeling.

"Is this guy going to buy it for free again?"

The bottle of Yuxuan Pill was eventually bought by a cultivator from the Jin Kingdom who had reached the perfect stage of foundation building, for the price of two thousand medium-grade spirit stones.

Next, when Xue Zhili brought out the Five Elements Yuan Qi Peach, the air in the entire black market stagnated!
"A second-grade, top-grade spiritual fruit, a five-element spiritual peach."

"After taking it, your magical power will increase. At the same time, the first dose can extend your life by thirty years!"

boom!
It’s okay for those young monks, they still have a lot of remaining life to pursue the great way.

But it was different for those old and frail monks. They all stared at the Five Elements Yuan Qi Spirit Peach on the stage with crazy looks in their eyes.

The spiritual peach has an even more fatal attraction to those great monks in the late stage of foundation building and the perfect stage.

Thirty extra years of life means more time to look for opportunities and pursue the dream of the golden elixir path.
