Chapter 416 You Are a Rogue Cultivator?
Actually, the so-called black market in the field of immortal cultivation can remain only because Dragon Court turns a blind eye.
If the Dragon Court really bans it by explicit order with stringent regulations, the black market is literally a joke.
After arriving at Keli City, Gao Ge finds that there are quite some cultivators in the downtown area.
In fact, the so-called black market in the field of immortal cultivation is held every quarter.
Of course, there are black markets in many cities of Huaxia, where a lot of good things are circulated. However, they are all small-scale. Generally, cultivators don’t pay attention to them. Only the black market in the field of immortal cultivation held once half a year is the most standard one. After all, it is held by the local largest ancient martial arts family or cultivation school, which is always a sea of people. Moreover, the market is held in different places every time and it will not be held in a flagrant way. It is well known that the Dragon Court turns a blind eye to the event. In other words, given that the Dragon Court shows respect for them, they will show respect in return by pretending to cover the matter up.
This is tacit understanding between them.
It is consented by all.
Participants of the black market fair are all cultivators, which is without doubt.
However, Gao Ge arrives here. It is kind of an act of creating the effect of “darkness under lamps” for the Xiaoshan Sword Sect people.
Luckily, a lot of people are wearing masks at the black market.
At the beginning, fights often happened at the black market. Some people coveted others’ treasures but they didn’t have anything equally valuable to exchange or they don’t want to exchange with their own treasure. As a result, robberies always happened and deaths were incurred inevitably.
Therefore, an idea was put forward afterwards. That is, one can put on a mask at the black market fair so that he will not be recognized by others. After he acquires the valuable treasure, he will take off the mask in case his face is remembered. In this case, he can avoid being robbed of the valuable treasure. Then other people start to do the same. Although this method is not 100% effective, it drastically reduces the death rate of cultivators at the black market fair. Hence, the first one who put on the mask at the black market fair has made significant contribution to the black market.
It is also said that some cultivators put on masks only because they are the disciples of some old cultivation schools, who think it is a great insult on their schools if they sell their valuable treasure.
Or some people’s treasures are acquired in a dirty way.
All in all, there are various sayings.
This offers convenience for Gao Ge.
As long as he puts on a mask and wanders around the black market, he is sure that the Xiaoshan Sword Sect disciples can’t have X-ray vision to see through the mask.
This seemingly most dangerous place is in fact the safest place for him.
This is also the advice that Master Guanshan gave Gao Ge before leaving.
Therefore, people must live longer.
As long as one lives long enough, he can think of anything.
However, for Gao Ge, he cannot think of that though he is aware of the black market. Most importantly, he knows nothing about the mask thing at the black market. After all, he knew about the black market in the previous life, but he never came here.
When he reaches Keli City, Gao Ge stops the car and then buys a mask at the roadside.
It is a Doraemon mask.
This is one of the favorite anime of Gao Ge when he was a child.
Doraemon is translated into “Duo la A meng (transliteration of Doraemon)”, “Xiao ding dang (lit. means Tinker Bell) or “Lan pang zi (lit. means Blue Fatty)”. When he was a child, he admired Nobita most, one of the characters in the anime. It is not because Nobita has a Doraemon but because he has Shizuka dressed in skirt every day.
