Chapter 122 The Black Market! The Art of Disguise!

Do it when you think of it.

Su Hao immediately took his bag and began packing up everything left in the yard.

Then, carrying a large sack on his back, he left the courtyard, preparing to return to Yanshan City.

As for Shili Slope, he can come over after he finishes his business with the rice gang.

Moreover, he still has some exotic beast meat in stock, and a thousand taels of silver in savings, enough for him to live a good life for a few days.

Moreover, it is conceivable that the Black Sparrow Sect, having lost a Bronze Skin Realm martial artist, will launch a massive search for the culprit!

Staying in Shilipo right now is not a wise move.

By the time we returned to Yanshan City, it was already getting late.

Su Hao did not stay at his residence. He simply changed his clothes and left for the underground market in Hongqiao Town.

In Yanshan City, behind every market and neighborhood lies another side.

This is the underground market, also known as the black market.

On the black market, you can buy many things that you can't buy openly.

Most of the items here are linked to the gray and black industries.

Even the gold and silver jewelry, or other weapons sold, could have been obtained through murder and robbery.

This has led to a diverse mix of people in the black market, from all walks of life to all sorts of individuals.

Su Hao had been there several times before, naturally in order to find something that could be used as a trump card.

For example, the Boiling Blood Powder he used today was purchased on the black market.

However, the seller prepared too little of this product, and he wanted to buy more, but was told that it was out of stock.

I'll also go restock today and see if any more potent drugs have appeared!

Sometimes, having more options means having more ways to survive.

Su Hao understood this principle well, so he never hesitated to use anything to improve his skills.

The black market in Hongqiao Town is actually located in an underground space in a secret passage beneath Hongqiao Town.

This place is said to have been an ice cellar space that was artificially carved out by the government in collaboration with some high-ranking officials and nobles in the inner city for summer retreat.

However, these people now have better ways to escape the heat, so the spaces that were originally dug out are naturally being used for other purposes.

Originally used as an underground warehouse, it became a hub for shady dealings as more and more people began to flock there.

Over time, this place took the form of an underground market, which gradually evolved into a black market.

As for this place becoming a black market, with contraband being sold rampantly, is the imperial government aware of this?

The answer is yes.

However, those who can control such underground markets naturally have connections and backgrounds.

Therefore, the government usually turns a blind eye to the activities of these black markets as long as they are not too excessive.

Upon arriving at the entrance to the market, Su Hao paid the entrance fee of 50 coins, as per the rules.

He then took a token and walked down the passage.

Then I started wandering around the market, looking for what I needed.

We walked around for about an hour.

Su Hao then managed to buy a copy of "The Art of Disguise in the Martial World" and two doses of Boiling Blood Powder.

After acquiring the two items, Su Hao didn't linger in the market. He bought other things needed for the disguise technique, then returned to his residence with them and began learning how to disguise.

In truth, this art of disguise in the martial arts world is not some profound skill, nor is it like the kind in novels from my previous life, where one can shrink one's bones, change one's appearance, and transform one's identity in countless ways, making one omnipotent.

The main content of "The Art of Disguise in the Martial World" is a book that specifically introduces the art of disguise, the items needed for disguise, the characteristics of disguise, and how to see through disguises, etc.

As for why Su Hao chose this book...

That's because the book contains a lot of useful information. Most importantly, it's a book that thoroughly explains the art of disguise. So, if you want to become a true master of disguise, you must at least see through disguise, understand disguise, and become one with disguise.

After returning home, Su Hao looked in the bronze mirror and began to disguise his face.

Taking out some materials resembling a skin membrane, Su Hao used beeswax, wigs, and cosmetics as described in the book.

The boy's appearance in the bronze mirror quickly changed due to the disguise, transforming into a middle-aged man with a sallow complexion, a mustache, low eyebrows, and high cheekbones.

"This looks quite good!"

Su Hao looked at his drastically changed reflection in the bronze mirror and couldn't help but find it a little funny.

Although it was only his first time disguising himself and his technique was quite rough, it didn't matter.

After all, no one will stare at your face forever.

Sometimes, even slight changes in physical appearance can make someone unrecognizable, even to someone you know.

At that time, with this face, combined with some hair and clothing to cover it up, everything except the eyes can be disguised.

It seems that even though my facial features have changed, they still resemble my former self in some ways.

Su Hao frowned, then took out a silver mask from his bundle.

The mask is silver-gray in color, covering the facial features and only revealing the eyes.

After putting on the mask, Su Hao became quiet and stared intently at the silver masked figure in the bronze mirror.

"That's the taste..."

After a long pause, Su Hao finally nodded.

Mysterious, cold, dangerous, and with a hint of evil.

Su Hao was very satisfied with the effect of the mask. Although it was a bit flashy to wear it like that, it was true that after wearing the mask, his whole aura seemed to be different, and that kind of charm immediately came through.

After mastering the art of disguise, Su Hao began his cultivation.

At the same time, he was mentally reviewing the situation when he encountered the Copper Skin Realm warrior from the Black Sparrow Sect today, and how he went all out.

Unlike the last time Lin Jun fought, this time the Black Sparrow Sect warriors were engaged in a life-or-death struggle.

Although Su Hao was at a disadvantage in his head-on confrontation with his opponent, it made him realize his current strength.

At least within the Iron Mirror realm, he was already considered one of the best; almost every Iron Mirror martial artist he encountered was unable to withstand a single palm strike from him.

And this was without him using his full strength.

Even so, in a real life-or-death battle against a warrior with copper-skin mirrors, he would still be at a disadvantage.

The opponent's strength, speed, and reaction time were far superior to those of Iron Mirror.

The reason he was able to exchange blows with that masked, black-robed man several times today was entirely due to the solid foundation he had built beforehand.

"Looks like I need to speed up my breakthrough to the third bloodline! Otherwise, with Iron Skin Mirror's strength, I'll still just be a nobody..."

Su Hao thought to himself.

These recent experiences have made him realize his own limitations.

When you encounter a true master, no matter what methods you use, they all seem insufficient.
