Chapter 1724: Taobao Market
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Wugui Kochiro carried the Earth-God Instruments and headed to the Scarlet Moon Auction Market. Considering he was quite familiar with the place and people here, asking him to do this job would save Chen Xiaobei a lot of time and trouble. As for Chen Xiaobei, he walked around the Taobao Market alone. The place looked exactly like the markets which Chen Xiaobei frequented back on earth. The sellers were selling a large variety of items. There were weapons, medicine, stones, animal skins, and decorative items. All these things that they sold shared a common trait – all of them were of a certain vintage!
They looked like they had been around for a very long time. In spite of that, the regular shopper would have mistaken this place to be a market that sold only antiques. Only the professionals would be able to spot priceless and invaluable items amongst all the old items. Sometimes, experts who got lucky would be able to purchase something valuable for an extremely low price.
The amateurs, on the other hand, would usually buy something useless with an unreasonably high price. Thus was the natural order of human nature; greed. Though they knew that the risk of getting scammed was high, a lot of amateurs would still rush into this particular marketplace to try their luck in getting their hands on some rare trinket.
“There are really some good things here!” exclaimed Chen Xiaobei while passing by all those stalls. In all honesty, Chen Xiaobei was actually an amateur as well. It was true that he knew a lot about medicinal raw materials but not the other stuff. However, he possessed a skill called the Eight Diagrams of Godly Prediction! Through that, he gained the ability to see each object emitting a different kind of aura. The ones which shone with golden-purple aura were the most valuable amongst all of them.
After walking for a while, Chen Xiaobei spotted at least three items that emitted golden-purple aura. Not to be fooled, the sellers of those items too, seemed pretty confident in the products that they sold. Clearly, they were going to ask for a hefty price if someone was interested in them, which was the reason why Chen Xiaobei chose to skip all of them.
Suddenly, he was attracted by a particular stall, of which, its seller was a rather pudgy man. He was staring at the woman that stood in front of him in a perverse manner. The woman in question had short hair and she was wearing a set of green attire. On her left arm, was a semi-hidden tattoo of a dragon tail. One could imagine that there was a tattoo of an entire coiling dragon tattooed on her entire arm. At first glance, one could have mistaken her as a guy.
If one paid close attention to her, she was actually very gorgeous. The close Chen Xiaobei paid led his eyes to notice a pair of voluptuous bosoms. This woman was the princess of Divine Dragon Starfield, Ling Qingfeng!
“My lady, how can I help you?” asked the seller while staring intently at her chest.
“Erm… Do you know where can I get all these items on my list?” asked Ling Qingfeng with her head drooped as she was looking at the list. Seemingly, she did not realize that the seller was staring at her in a perverted manner.
“Let me have a look…”
The fat man took the list and stared at Ling Qingfeng’s body again.
“All these items are Three-star Earth-God items! Usually, ordinary people would never have the chance to get their hands on them! But, it would seem that you have come to the right person today!”
“So, you know where can I find all of them?”
“Not all! But, I know where you can find an Invisible Spirit Herb!”
“I knew it! There are so many experienced folks here! I knew that I would get some information here!”
“Look at your happy face! Business is business. I’m was not about to give out information for free!”
“I understand! Name your price! I will pay for the intel with my Spiritual Stones!”
“No… No… No… I don’t need Spiritual Stones! Right now, I need a pretty lady like you! A masterpiece!”
“What do you mean by that?
Immediately, the smile was wiped off Ling Qinfeng’s face.
“Hehe… Stop acting innocent over there! Just sleep with me for one night and I will tell you everything you need to know about the herb!”
“Do you have a death wish?!”
Ling Qingfeng was famous after her preference for women instead of men. All this while, she had always been disgusted by men. Being flirted like that meant that her final straw was broken. Right now, she just wanted to slaughter the disgusting man.
Unfortunately, she was now at Apocalypse Starfield!
“My lady, you do know that this is Black Tortoise’s capital city, right? Using violence is strictly prohibited! If you dare to hit me, the soldiers will bring you in and decapitate you in front of everyone!”
“You…”
There were a lot of soldiers walking around the market to make sure that everything was in order. That was why, Ling Qingfeng did not dare to hit the fat man. Amongst the nine zones, Ling Qingfeng could do what she usually wanted but not in this place.
“Little lady! You don’t have to hold on to your anger. I know you wouldn’t dare to hit me here! There are only two options for you right now! Sleep with me for a night or get the hell out of here! Otherwise, don’t interrupt my business!”
“You…”
Ling Qingfeng was so angry that she gritted her teeth but there was nothing she could do about it.
“Boss! What is this thing over here? It looks really special!” said Chen Xiaobei while holding a straw of herbs.
“You…”
Immediately, Ling Qingfeng managed to recognize Chen Xiaobei. But, she saw that Chen Xiaobei was subtly shaking his head at her. So, she did not say anything after that.
“That is Six Flavored Yellow Earth Herb!” said the fat man, disinterested.
Clearly, this herb did not cost much. That was why the fat man was not happy that he could not take advantage of Chen Xiaobei.
“I knew it! This is the legendary men’s treasure! I heard that it can strengthen a man’s stamina on the bed!”
“You are right about that! This Six Flavored Yellow Earth Herb is at least 500 years old! Half a piece of it can make sure that you can do at least eight times a night, and it only costs 100 low-grade Spiritual Stones! What a bargain, right?”
“Deal!”
