Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 565: Black Market

Qinchuan and the three others did not stop at the capital of Jiuxiang Ancient Country but directly fled towards the south.

All along the way, Ye Xuanji stood on a Taiji Moon Wheel beneath his feet, as swift as the wind and as fast as lightning.

This was a Supreme Dao Artifact, which Qinchuan had obtained from Emperor Wei Yu's storage space, and it was quite suitable for Ye Xuanji.

After the battle between Jiang Yan and the mysterious figure in the black robe, Qinchuan actually had many divine artifacts in his hands. However, apart from Mei Qian'er, Chi Hai, Li Kaitian, and other emperors, Qinchuan had not bestowed them to anyone else.

On one hand, only after achieving the status of an emperor could one fully unleash the power of a divine artifact. On the other hand, divine artifacts were too heaven-defying in the Lower Realm. Even Jiang Yan and others, after descending to the Lower Realm, did not dare to act rashly with them. If the divine artifacts were to flood the realm recklessly, they might trigger unforeseen consequences.

Ye Xuanji had already reached the Great Saint Intermediate Stage, and with the Supreme Dao Artifact bestowed by Qinchuan, his speed in traversing the empty sky was very fast.

It took the four of them only ten days to travel from the capital of Jiuxiang Ancient Country to a coastal city on its southern border.

The distance from Tianyuan Nation to the southernmost part of Jiuxiang Ancient Country was an unknown tens of thousands of miles. If an ordinary cultivator wanted to cross it, it would take at least a year.

Now, thanks to the Teleportation Array and Ye Xuanji's speed, they had arrived at this place in just ten days.

This city, built by the sea, was called Redview City.

Because it was far away from the capital of Jiuxiang Ancient Country, although it was previously officially under Jiuxiang Ancient Country's control, in reality, it was controlled by a sect called Nine Sand Sect.

Therefore, even when Jiuxiang Ancient Country fell, Redview City did not change much and the city remained bustling as always.

As Qinchuan entered the city and saw the crowd that was shoulder to shoulder, he couldn't help but sigh, "I really have slept for too long in this life."

The architecture within Redview City had completely changed, and the building that once stood in the center of the city had completely disappeared.

Qinchuan understood that Redview City bordered the South Sea, and the sea beasts in the South Sea were not like the fierce beasts from the endless domains east of Dongju Continent.

The Sea Clan and fierce beasts here would often come ashore to create havoc and hunt the Human Race. In his previous life, Qinchuan had witnessed this city suffer serious destruction twice within a mere tens of thousands of years.

Seeing that there was no trace of the past,

Qinchuan caught a cultivator at the roadside and asked, "Fellow Daoist, do you know where the Sea Divine Pavilion is now?"

"You are looking for the Sea Divine Pavilion?"

That cultivator looked at Qinchuan with a strange expression in his eyes.

"Since you know the name of the Sea Divine Pavilion, don't you know that the Sea Divine Pavilion no longer exists?"

"Gone?" Qinchuan raised an eyebrow and asked with a frown, "If the Sea Divine Pavilion is gone, then how do you cross the ocean now?"

"Cross the ocean? Now that the Sea Clan has gained power, who still has the will to cross the ocean?" the cultivator shrugged. "The Sea Divine Pavilion was exterminated by the sea beasts."

Upon mentioning this, the cultivator suddenly remembered something, "Right, if you have enough Mysterious Crystals, you might try your luck in the black market to find someone called Liu Wan. He has a way to travel by sea."

"However, if you want Liu Wan to take you across the sea, you will need to prepare quite a bit more Mysterious Crystals."

Saying this, the cultivator shook his head and walked away.

"Black market!" Qinchuan nodded and continued on his way.

"Big Brother, what is the Sea Divine Pavilion for?"

Ji Huo'er and the others, who lived inland and had never seen the sea until their last trip with Qinchuan to Divine Demon Island, asked curiously.

Ye Xuanji had also never heard of the name Sea Divine Pavilion and looked curiously at Qinchuan.

Qinchuan walked while explaining.

Originally,

on the Divine Wilderness Continent, the distances between the Four Great Continents were incredibly vast, and the entire sea domain teemed with dangers. Ordinary cultivators could hardly traverse the vast ocean and set foot on another continent.

Only after breaking through as a Great Emperor, tearing apart space, could one traverse the vast oceans safely. Even for a Great Emperor, crossing the ocean from Dongju Continent to Nanchi Continent took at least a month.

The Sea Divine Pavilion came into existence due to this need. They wielded a Space Artifact called the Crossing Boat, which moved with great velocity on the sea. Although it wasn't as fast as a Great Emperor tearing through the void, it enabled cultivators to travel from one end of the ocean to the other.

However, Qinchuan had not expected that the Sea Divine Pavilion would be destroyed just like that.

With their presence concealed, the four of them took several turns through the city's streets and alleys.

A shabby street appeared before them.

Although Qinchuan had heard of this black market before, he had never visited it.

"Hey, young brother, I see your aura is extraordinary, and your bearing is noble. Surely, you're a dragon amongst men. I have an ancient Magic Artifact that I'm sure would suit you well," an old man with short whiskers and white hair insisted as he tugged at Qinchuan, peddling a longsword that seemed to have not a hint of Qi.

Even though Qinchuan and his companions had hidden their aura, the spiritual energy that emanated from their robes was lingering and extraordinary, setting them apart from the other cultivators in the black market with a completely different temperament.

As soon as they walked in, the old man with short whiskers and white hair grabbed Qinchuan, promoting the longsword in his hand.

"How much for this?" Qinchuan glanced at it and asked indifferently.

"This is a genuine Ancient Method artifact; I won't ask for too much from you—just eighty thousand Purple Mysterious Crystals."

"Pfft—"

It was obviously a mere Mortal Instrument to any discerning eye. Qinchuan was merely inquiring casually, intending to gather information about Liu Wan. When he heard the old man's asking price, he almost burst out laughing.

Purple Mysterious Crystals were extremely rare, with one Purple Mysterious Crystal being equivalent to ten thousand Mysterious Crystals; thus, eighty thousand Purple Mysterious Crystals equaled eight hundred million Mysterious Crystals.

"Hmm, old man, your heart isn't black at all, asking for eight hundred million Mysterious Crystals for a Mortal Instrument as if they were blown in by the wind," Qinchuan chided sarcastically.

"Excuse me."

Qinchuan left without looking back.

"Ah, young brother, this is a true ancient Magic Artifact, but it's been submerged under the sea for too long, and the mana and aura have faded away."

"Hey, don't go, the price is negotiable. I see you as someone with destiny; I'll take a loss. I won't ask for eighty thousand Purple Mysterious Crystals, just eighty thousand Mysterious Crystals is fine."

"Hey, don't go, it's really only eighty thousand Mysterious Crystals!"

"Sigh, another one who doesn't recognize real treasure."

No more than a few steps away, Qinchuan was approached by another old man with a sly look and rat-like eyes.

"Young brother, are you interested in Divine Artifacts?" the sly-looking old man whispered.

"Oh? You have a Divine Artifact?" Qinchuan asked with interest and curiosity.

"Shh!" The sly-looking old man significantly glanced around warily, pulling Qinchuan into a small alley.

"This Divine Artifact I possess has quite the origin, but unfortunately, it's not well-suited for me. As you know, a Divine Artifact is what everyone in the world seeks for their entire lives. Even an abundance of Mysterious and Purple Mysterious Crystals can't exchange for it, so, I only wish to trade for something of equal value. Would the young master be willing to do so?" he proposed.

"A Divine Artifact is indeed the pursuit of every person in the world, and trading item for item is natural. However, this young master doesn't have anything on him that could exchange for a Divine Artifact," Qinchuan glanced at the man and responded flatly.

Though he indeed had several Divine Artifacts on him, he deliberately said otherwise.
