Chapter 88 Trouble Happened Again

Dugu Muyou didn't want to meddle with Zhu Jingshan, so she talked to Elder Guan, "Elder Guan, please think more about our previous conversation. I'll take my leave."

Elder Guan smiled and said, "Sure. You can come to my shop anytime you like."

"Wait!" Zhu Jingshan suddenly stopped Dugu Muyou. After Dugu Muyou turning around, he smiled and said, "Miss Muyou, I heard from the Grand Elder that you have refined the Black Spirit Pill. I just need this pill. Could you sell it to me, Miss Muyou?"

"Grand Elder also has this pill. You can buy it from him. As for the one I have, I'm sorry that I won't sell it."

Dugu Muyou finished speaking and left without any hesitation. Zhu Jingshan's smile gradually disappeared. He stared at her back until she disappeared.

"Childe Zhu Jingshan, do you still need this Black Spirit Pill?" Elder Guan asked.

Hearing this, Zhu Jingshan immediately said with a smile, "Yes, of course. But I have another question. What did Miss Muyou discuss with you just now?"

"Ha-ha!" Elder Guan chuckled twice and stroked his white beard again. "Well, this is the privacy between our store and Miss Muyou. I can't tell you. You must understand this rule."

Zhu Jingshan knew that Elder Guan intended to refuse, but he couldn't do anything. There was indeed a rule in Zhengnan Spiritual Material Shop. This was not for themselves, but for the confidentiality of the guests. This was understandable, so Zhu Jingshan couldn't do anything about it even he wanted to.

"In this case, I won't ask. In addition to the Black Spirit Pill, I have some other pills that I want to entrust you to help refine it. How about..."

"Let's go upstairs and talk in detail. This way, please, Mr. Zhu."

Dugu Muyou left the Zhengnan Spiritual Material Shop and walked slowly down the street, thinking about things. Lacking Ghost Weeping Orchid was always a problem. Could she just wait? Dugu Muyou wandered aimlessly while thinking about this and came to the black market without notice.

The so-called black market meant informal operations, which was unlike East Market. There were fixed stores in East Market, whose owners were stable and reliable. There were almost stalls in black market, where anyone could go to sell things. As long as they paid a fee, they could rent a stall. Everything changed rapidly in black market. Some people were there today, but they might not be there tomorrow. It was uncertain. Because of loose management, the black market was often used to deal with goods of unknown origin.

After exiting the East Market and heading south for a while, she arrived at the black market. The streets here were narrow, and the houses on both sides were low. Some of them were even on the edge of collapsing. Dugu Muyou walked on the streets of the black market and walked to an empty lot. This place was huge, so there were many stalls here. It was the best area on the black market, so most of the long-term stalls were gathered here.

"Girl, do you want to buy some Tianying Herb? It is fresh. I pulled it out of the ground today. Look, it's still green."

As soon as Dugu Muyou appeared, some sharp-eyed vendors came close and brought their goods to her, hoping she could buy some. Dugu Muyou shook her head and refused. These vendors left in disappointment. Later, several vendors came again, but Dugu Muyou rejected all of them, so few vendors did so.

Dugu Muyou looked around in front of these stalls. Both the materials and the cultivation methods were mostly low-level. These things were all gathered together. It was so messy.

"Animal skins and minerals! Have a look! Looking doesn't need any money. Oh, girl, I have a beauty pill. Don't you come to see it? You will regret it if you miss it."

Dugu Muyou glanced over the stall on the side of the road and stopped suddenly.

The vendor thought she wanted to buy it, so he smiled, quickly handed a white jade bottle of pills to Dugu Muyou and said mysteriously, "I got these pills by accident. I only have one bottle of them. After taking it, it can delay aging, prolong lifespan, and make you more youthful and beautiful. Such a good thing will be sold soon if it meets the right customer who can afford it."

Dugu Muyou pushed a little away the white jade bottle that was close to her but focused on a turtle shell on the stall. The turtle shell was dark green with dense patterns on the surface. The lines were arranged in a strange pattern. Dugu Muyou turned it over and over and was quite interested in it.

The vendor looked at the white jade bottle held by him and the turtle shell held by Dugu Muyou and said bitterly, "Girl, why do you look at the shell? It's just the shell of an ordinary green turtle, which is worthless. This bottle of pills in my hand is a good thing. Smell it. This smell..."

No matter how the vendor recommended it, Dugu Muyou didn't pay any attention to that bottle.

The vendor secretly complained that his bottle of pills had not been sold. The so-called beauty treatment was not very effective for cultivators, and ordinary people couldn't afford this price, so he hadn't sold it yet. Now he met this young girl who was able to afford it, but she was not interested in it at all.

The vendor wanted to promote his pills, but he heard Dugu Muyou suddenly say, "This turtle shell..."

"I want this shell!" A man suddenly said, who appeared and snatched the turtle shell from Dugu Muyou's hand. "How much is it? I'll pay you."

The vendor glanced at the shell, wondering why a piece of green turtle shell was so popular. Could it be a treasure that he didn't recognize? With doubts in his mind, the vendor didn't say the price. He looked at the shell again but didn't find anything new.

Dugu Muyou looked back and was amused. The person was exactly the Cultivator Chen from the Dugus, who learned how to bark and crawl last time.

"Cultivator Chen, what a coincidence! I met you here," Dugu Muyou said, and a smile appeared on her lips when she thought of this.

Cultivator Chen didn't have time to talk to Dugu Muyou. He just asked the vendor, "Why do you keep silent? How much is it? I need a green turtle shell and see it by accident now, so I don't need to take another trip."

Cultivator Chen said quickly, and Dugu Muyou saw the sweat on his forehead. It was just a turtle shell. Why was he so nervous? Did he want to go pissing? However, the answer was no.

"Cultivator Chen, I saw this turtle shell first and I want to buy it," Dugu Muyou said with a smile. "Vendor, you come to judge. There is always one who comes first, right?"

Cultivator Chen finally couldn't continue to ignore Dugu Muyou, so he hurriedly argued, "Nonsense! Obviously, I said I wanted to buy it first. You just took it and looked at it, but you didn't say that you wanted to buy it. So it's me who should have it!"

He came to the black market to buy things today. When he was strolling around, he suddenly saw Dugu Muyou. As soon as Cultivator Chen saw her, he only felt that his heart was beating wildly, and his body was in cold sweat. The unbearable scene came to his mind again, and he couldn't forget it.

Cultivator Chen wanted to stay away from the evil star Dugu Muyou. Anyway, he bought most of the things. When he was trying to leave, he saw the turtle shell in Dugu Muyou's hand, so he suddenly stopped.

When the vendor heard Dugu Muyou's tone and looked at the expressions of the two, he finally understood that these two people were enemies! It wasn't because his turtle shell was unique. Now that they met, even if there was nothing to do, they would cause a little trouble, so they took a turtle shell as an excuse. The vendor really wanted to let them have an auction directly, but credit was important to businessmen. He wanted to do this business for a long time, so he was going to use a more tactful approach.

The vendor looked bitter and said with grievance, "Two guests, everything you said makes sense, but there is only one shell. What should I do? It's so difficult for me."

Dugu Muyou took the bottle from his hand, "Well, if you sell me this turtle shell, I will buy your unsalable bottle of pills."

"Hehe, you are really good at jokes. My elixir is very popular, and today you are destined to have it. Emm... Cultivator Chen, right? She is indeed the first to come. How about..."

"Huh!" Cultivator Chen dropped some gold, tucked the turtle shell into his sleeve, turned and left. "What a rogue vendor! Before gold, even kings take off their hats. The shell is in my hand. There is no way for you to take it back."

"Well..." The vendor just wanted to stop Cultivator Chen, but when he glanced at the gold he had left, he found that it was more than the price, so his voice immediately became softer. He turned his head and smiled apologetically at Dugu Muyou, "If you really need a turtle shell, how about buying it from my bro?"

"That is the shell from a Green Turtle King." Dugu Muyou suddenly said lightly.

The vendor's face was dull for an instant, and he disappeared in the next instant.

Cultivator Chen, who had been away, suddenly shouted, "What are you doing? You want to take the things you sold! Let me go!"

"How dare you!" The vendor widened his eyes. "This is obviously the shell of the Green Turtle King, but you want to buy it forcibly at a low price. Are you reasonable? Take it out!"

The vendor wanted to take it from Cultivator Chen's sleeve directly, but Cultivator Chen guarded the piece of shell and refused to let it go.

Seeing that he couldn't get it, the vendor shouted, "Everyone, come and see! This man wants to repudiate a debt. It's a shell from the Green Turtle King, but he wants to buy it at the price of an ordinary green turtle shell!"

The surrounding vendors gathered one after another, surrounded Cultivator Chen and talked freely.

"You are not honest! It is not easy for us to make some money. How could you do this?"

"That's it. It's not easy to get up in the morning and go back at night! It's hard to get a good thing, but you deceived us."

"According to the rules, you don't have to pay the full price anymore. As long as you pay 80% of the price, the turtle shell will belong to you."

Dugu Muyou stood outside the crowd, watching this scene with amusement. In fact, she didn't really need that piece of turtle shell very much, and she didn't plan to buy it at a low price, but Cultivator Chen wanted to take it from her, so she had to do this.

Some of the vendors who came around envied, but their words were very unified. There was no other reason. They would inevitably sell good things at a low price, because they lacked experiences and was taken advantage of by others. After several incidents, they unified. When they encountered such a thing, they united to safeguard their own interests. Who knew the next one? Therefore, everyone dared not neglect.

Cultivator Chen was surrounded, and he was almost out of breath. These vendors condemned him and would not let him go without giving them an explanation. Cultivator Chen wanted to say that he didn't want to buy it anymore. But as soon as he saw Dugu Muyou's smiling eyes, Cultivator Chen remembered what happened last time. How could he let her be comfortable? Even if there was a 20% discount, it was a bargain.

"I can pay, but I don't have enough money. Wait for me..."

Cultivator Chen had already bought everything he should buy today. There wasn't any money left. Although he was the most respected alchemist, the cultivation consumed too much, so he didn't save much gold.
