Chapter 44 Fishing Trap
The fierce man had no interest in what Lin Yu would use it for. He only cared about how much he could get:
“The Hanhai Sect’s magic weapon has a self-destructing formation installed inside. If you want a complete one, it will be difficult as hell. But for this broken one, I can really help you find a way to buy some. How many do you want?”

“At least five or six.”

What if it’s not enough? It never goes a wrong to order a few more.

“Then there are at least 2,500 spirit stones!”

The fierce man’s eyes almost turned into spirit stones, and he immediately agreed:

“Okay! Give me half a month, and next time I go to the black market, I’ll be able to help you buy what you want, but…”

The fierce man changed his tone, and the fierce aura on his body reappeared: “Don’t play tricks on me, or I will find you even if I search the entire black market.”

In a black market transaction, there is naturally no such thing as paying a deposit, so if Lin Yu goes back on his word, the fierce man will have worked for half a month in vain.

Lin Yu faced this momentum without changing his expression: “Of course, have you ever seen anyone spend 500 spirit stones to buy this kind of waste?”

“it is good.”

A smile instantly appeared on the fierce man’s face: “I wish us a happy cooperation!”

After saying goodbye to the fierce man, Lin Yu continued to browse the black market.

There are really a lot of good things, and it was also from this black market that Lin Yu discovered that there are so many top sects around Xuanyang Sect.

Although there does not seem to be much hatred between these sects on the surface, there are constant minor frictions in secret.

Otherwise, these things on the black market would not appear.

In the following time, Lin Yu bought some magic skills one after another, such as the water prison technique, water bullet technique, and water rope technique of the Hanhai Sect, the fire control technique and fire melting technique of the Yaowang Sect, the earth wall technique of the Houtu Sect, and so on.

All these spells combined cost less than 500 spirit stones.

It is just right to fill the gap in Lin Yu’s magic. Otherwise, he would just be using the sword technique over and over again, and his magic skills are too scarce.

In fact, generally, cultivators in the Qi training stage, while gradually improving their cultivation, will also simultaneously learn magic techniques, not only those for combat, but also many daily techniques.

The improvement of cultivation takes years, so when one reaches a certain level, one has usually already learned many techniques.

But Lin Yu took a shortcut, and his cultivation level improved rapidly within these two months.

In just two months, I completed a journey that others would take decades or even half a lifetime to complete. It is normal to have some shortcomings in some aspects.

As he walked, Lin Yu smelled a strange odor.

It was the smell of a dead body mixed with preservatives.

Is it possible that even this thing is available in this black market?

Lin Yu was startled and looked in the direction where the smell came from.

There sat an old man with a haggard appearance and wrinkles on his face in that area. The smell that Lin Yu smelled came from the old man.

There was a sign in front of the old man with the words “Puppet Materials for Sale” written on it.

Lin Yu narrowed his eyes and walked forward:
“Old man, I wonder what kind of puppet material you are selling?”

Hearing this, the withered old man raised his head slightly and glanced at Lin Yu: “Whatever smell I have, that’s what I’m selling. Boy, if you can’t smell it, don’t bother me.”

Well, it’s really a corpse.

“Old man, would anyone buy this kind of thing?” Lin Yu asked.

“I’ve been setting up a stall here for three years. If there was no business, I would have quit long ago. Boy, if you don’t want to buy, stay away.”

The old man waved his hand impatiently. Lin Yu frowned and did not say he wanted to buy anything. Instead, he walked away for a distance and watched the old man’s stall from a distance in the corner.

He really needed corpses, especially the corpses of monks at a high level. Refining one could bring him huge benefits.

But the existence of such trading items in the black market made him wary.

Not long after Lin Yu left, a cultivator sneaked up to the withered old man. The two whispered a few words and then exchanged storage bags to reach a deal.

Lin Yu followed the cultivator who had completed the transaction and pretended to pass by him casually, while the spiritual consciousness in his mind had already quickly scanned his body.

The black cloth covering the face can only cover the face, not the body.

Sure enough there is a problem!
Lin Yu’s heart trembled.

The monk who was being scanned felt at one point as if he had been seen naked by something. He stopped and looked around panically, wondering who was spying on him.

When the people around him saw him like this, they all looked puzzled.

The cultivator who was targeted by Lin Yu couldn’t find the person. Realizing that this person’s strength must be far superior to his, he quickly hid in a quiet room, hoping to escape.

Lin Yu did not chase after him. The one scan he made with his spiritual sense had already completely scanned this young cultivator who was at the third level of Qi training.

The spiritual awareness that should only be possessed by those in the foundation-building stage is indeed very useful.

Within the cultivator’s dantian, there was a scarlet and violent energy. This energy was different from the energy cultivated by all orthodox practitioners.

So Lin Yu immediately understood that this was a demon cultivator.

He bought corpses just for the purpose of practicing.

So the withered old man was providing corpses to the evil cultivator. No wonder Lin Yu wanted to get close but was driven away directly.

If Lin Yu didn’t know that the black market was also opened by the upper echelons of Xuanyang Sect, he would not have thought much about it, but when he thought that this black market was also within the vision of the upper echelons of Xuanyang Sect.

The withered old man has been doing this business at the stall for more than three years.

It is impossible that the higher-ups were completely unaware of this.

So this is most likely a trap!
It is a trap to lure out demon cultivators. All customers who have purchased from it must have been targeted.

Maybe even he is under surveillance now.

If he was really being monitored, yet he, who possessed spiritual awareness, was unaware of it, he was most likely a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Lin Yu looked around, didn’t say anything, and left the black market directly.

“Did that kid find me?”

In a corner of the black market, a middle-aged man with a beard saw Lin Yu’s obvious movement of looking for someone, and said to himself with some curiosity:
“Forget it. Brother Gan’s disciple has pure spiritual power and has not bought any consumables. He is definitely not a demon cultivator. I’d better continue to keep an eye on this demon kid.”

Seeing that the third-level Qi training demon boy was cruelly absorbing the blood and Qi from the corpse, and his aura was constantly increasing, he couldn’t help but show a worry on his face: “More and more people are practicing the Blood Demon Art recently. What is this Blood Demon Cult brewing?”

Lin Yu didn’t know what happened after he left.

There is only one entrance to the black market, but there are several exits. There are holes next to several large buildings that lead out.

Lin Yu quietly walked out of a pit, burst out with all his strength, and rushed quickly towards the sect.

He has never mastered the Yunyan Step, and he still doesn’t even know how to escape. However, the physique of the fifth level of body refining alone has enabled him to reach an astonishing level of speed.
