“It’s said that the person who founded the blackCity is an ill-fated scholar The injustice he has faced from the bureaucratic system has made him harden his heart to the world, and he decided to forsake academics for martial arts In order to vent the frustrations within him, he created the blackthat one cannot buy or do as long as one has sufficient money Of course… the prices there are exorbitant as well In fact, it could be said to be the greatestforward, Zhang Jiuxiao briefly introduced the blackthe scale of the blackEmpire Master Teacher Pavilion and the royal fa Xuan asked

Since even an outsider like Zhang Jiuxiao knew about this place, there was no doubt that the royal faional Master Teacher Pavilion were aware of its existence as well Thus, shouldn’t they haveit to develop freely, especially considering that they were ga with the lives of others?

“The Master Teacher Pavilion and royal faets out of hand, but otherwise, they usually leave it be for stability considerations”

“Stability considerations?” Zhang Xuan asked in incoh they had not arrived at the blackJiuxiao had said so far, it seemed like the black market was effectively a lawless area, devoid of any security or rules How could an existence like that in Qianchong City possibly contribute to its stability?

“The larger a city is, the more cultivators it has There’s always a lack of cultivation resources, so it’s inevitable that cultivators will clash with one another to vie for them As this is a fundamental problem, there’s no way that the royal faether,” Zhang Jiuxiao explained

“Un” Zhang Xuan nodded

In this world where strength reigned supre one’s cultivation realiven that the resources in the world were limited, there was bound to be conflict and strife over them

No matter hoerful the Master Teacher Pavilion was, it could not possibly prevent such ether If it implemented forceful ht face serious backlash froround black ht be unseemly, but it’s a possible channel where cultivators can acquire what they need as long as they have enough money And to earn sufficient money, they have to cultivate harder and battle With such a channel, there is a lesser need for cultivators to engage in dishonorable actions such as stealing to obtain what they need While there are quite a few casualties fro of Death, there’s no doubt that the security of Qianchong City as a whole has iht, there were bound to be shadows as well

There were misfits even within the Master Teacher Pavilion, let alone the other cultivators Without an avenue to vent their darker desires or acquire their resources, there was no knohat extreht resort to within the city

As the saying went, ‘ A lake too clear will sustain no fish; a man too severe will find no companion ¹ ‘

The existence of a black market was unlawful and should have been frowned on, but if it could reduce cri to its existence as well

Take his previous life for example, there was a certain occupation that was banned in several countries But despite the authorities knohere the people of that occupation operated, they still allowed its existence It was not that they could not shut it down, but the occupation served its own role in society It satisfied the needs of others, and through doing so, it reduced crime rates in that aspect

If they really eradicated it altogether, that would potentially pose a challenge to the security of the society

Such was the sa Empire’s black market as well

It was unlawful on the surface, but its existence could prevent societal proble in the city In view of that, the royal family eventually chose to look the other hen it came to their operations

As for the Master Teacher Pavilion, as long as there was no grievous injustice being dealt and the eneral, it usually would not interfere After all, itsback, it was likely that Hongyuan City, Qingyuan City, and the other capitals should also have had such a place It was just that Zhang Xuan had been too preoccupied with otherin each city either

Just as Zhang Xuan was in the ht, we have arrived!”

Raising his head, Zhang Xuan saw a ht before him

A edtwo black cloths over, gesturing for the Jiuxiao’s lead, Zhang Xuan wrapped the black cloth around his eyes, and he realized that not only did it hinder his sight, even his Spiritual Perception was is

Under the lead of the two hly ten minutes before the cloth around their eyes was finally loosened

Aabout, and they extended all the way to the horizon Even though they were underground, the brilliant glow of the Night Illuhtly lit as if it was day

“This…” Blinking in wonder, Zhang Xuan began scanning his surroundings

He had been to plenty of trading halls, h the scale of the , the ite

Walking past the various vendors, Zhang Xuan’s eyes narrowed in astonishment “Is that the Black Goldcrystal Ore? It’s actually on sale here?”

The Black Goldcrystal Ore was a treasure that Wu Yangzi had left behind in his heritage It was known to be extremely rare, such that it could not even be found anywhere in Qingyuan City Yet, in this black market, it was actually placed on public display!

Despite seeing all of this with his own eyes, Zhang Xuan still found it difficult to accept

Noticing Zhang Xuan’s expression, Zhang Jiuxiao chuckled softly “Even though the Black Goldcrystal Ore is rare, it isn’t co for it to be on sale here”

He had also been like that the first ti to believe the treasures that were being sold so casually around hirown used to it
