C38 The Pretentious Old Man

The underground black market of the Purple Dawn City took up a large area, and because it was illegal, it could only be carried out underground.

Under the lead of the man in black, the two of them walked out of a door and arrived at the black market.

Although it was called a black market, it was actually a small world. Here there were restaurants, inns, gambling, eating, drinking, and having fun.

From afar, there were at least ten thousand people in the black market. There were shouts, noises, and it was extremely lively.

"Wow, it's so lively."

Standing behind Lin Chen, Lin Yao clicked her tongue in wonder when she saw this scene.

"Little brother, slow down."

At this moment, the man in black turned around and nodded at Lin Che before turning around and leaving.

Lin Chen also smiled and did not say anything.

"Master, how did you know about this place?"

Lin Yao blinked her cute big eyes and asked.

"I am a native of Purple Dawn City. If I don't know about this place, wouldn't I be making a fool of myself?"

Lin Chen flicked Lin Yao's head and grabbed her slender and boneless hand. "Let's go to the trade fair."

Along the way, Lin Chen attracted the attention of countless people. He became the center of attention.

This was not because of Lin Chen's personal reasons, but because of Lin Yao, who was beside him.

After all, Lin Yao was really too pretty.

Being stared at by so many people, Lin Yao felt very uncomfortable in her heart. She could only hug Lin Chen's arm even more tightly, feeling very timid.

Towards this, Lin Chen just smiled indifferently without changing his expression.

In the eyes of the crowd, this indifferent expression had become a declaration of war.

What? Have you taken a fancy to the beauty beside me? Let me tell you, this woman is mine! If you have the ability, then come and snatch her away from me!

The more everyone looked at Lin Chen, the more they felt that this was what Lin Chen thought. They couldn't help but clench their teeth in anger, and their fists clenched tightly.

Only one more person was needed to take the lead, and this group of people would completely lose their temper!

"A femme fatale is just so-so."

In fact, at this moment, Lin Chen was also quite emotional in his heart. Right now, Lin Yao's cultivation was not high enough and her body had not fully developed. Her face was not completely beautiful either, but just like that, she had already become the focus of attention.

One could only imagine how much trouble Lin Yao would be in the future when she completely fell off and became a beauty.

However, he just liked trouble!

Lin Chen led Lin Yao all the way to the underground trading club under the gaze of countless people who were like wolves and tigers.

When he pushed open the door of the trading club, a refreshing fragrance of sandalwood assaulted his nose, making Lin Chen unable to help but enjoy it.

"Does this guest want to buy something, or do you want to sell something?"

At the same time, a soft and charming voice sounded in his ears.

Looking towards the source of the voice, the one who spoke was a girl wearing a red qipao. Her figure was exquisite, and her legs were slender and straight, captivating one's soul.

She could also be considered a beauty!

However, Lin Chen had seen a lot of this kind of beauty before, so he did not panic. Thus, he went straight to the point, and said with a faint smile: "Sister, I want to exchange for something."

"What do you want to exchange?" The "Sister" laughed. Her body carried a faint fragrance, which was not strong, but just right.

"The Devil Core of the Spirit Beast."

Lin Chen replied with a smile.

"So that's how it is. Fine, follow me here."

After saying that, the woman turned around and walked forward.

Lin Chen followed her with Lin Yao in tow, but judging from Lin Yao's expression, it seemed that she did not really like this woman.

Under the woman's lead, the two of them entered a side door and the woman said with a smile, "Brother, I have the number one appraiser in the trading club inside. I hope your Devil Core will bring you a good price."

"Thank you, elder sister, for your auspicious words. Then I wish you to become more and more beautiful and have a better figure."

Lin Chen laughed back.

"Brother, you really know how to talk."

The woman giggled in a flirtatious manner. Without saying anything more, she turned around and went to receive the guests.

Lin Chen walked into the room.

There was only a counter in the room. Behind the counter sat an old man with slightly messy hair. At this moment, his brows were tightly knitted as he stared at the green drop of liquid floating in the air above his palm.

Although his eyes were old, they were unusually deep, like a black hole. At this moment, they were flashing with a crystal light as if they were looking through the components of the liquid.

"Oh? The primary stage Eye of Analysis?"

When Lin Chen saw the sparkling light in the old man's eyes, he muttered in surprise. The Eye of Analysis, as the name implied, had the ability to see through and analyze.

The Eye of Transpenetration could clearly see through the components contained within a drop of liquid and a Spirit Fruit. Just like what the old man had done just now, it was the components of the drop of green liquid in the air above the old man's palm.

Lin Chen tried to feel it for a moment, and he had a rough idea in his heart: "So it's the spirit liquid refined from the Bell Wind Grass."

"Essence: 91%; useless impurities: 7%; useful impurities: 2%. Mm, not bad, not bad."

After looking at it for a few times, the old man nodded his head lightly and muttered in a hoarse voice.

Immediately after, he threw away the drop of liquid and asked without even raising his head, "What are the two of you doing here?"

"Of course, it's to exchange for items."

Lin Chen smiled. He did not blame the old man for being negligent. With a flip of his hand, he took out a yellow storage bag and threw it to the old man.

"There are dozens of Devil Cores of Spirit Beasts. Take a look and see how much they can be sold for."

"Oh, the Devil Cores."

The old man did not find it strange. He opened the storage bag and poured out the Devil Cores one by one.

"These are the Devil Cores of Grade Three Spirit Beast and Python Tiger. They can be sold for eight hundred Origin Crystals."

"This is the Devil Core of a Grade Four Spirit Beast and a Sky Flame Lizard. It can be sold for 1,500 Origin Crystals."

...""

The old man swept his gaze across it indifferently. Not only did he see the grade of the Devil Core, but he also saw what kind of creature the original owner of the Devil Core was.

"As expected of the Eye of Analysis, you indeed have some ability."

Lin Chen muttered in his heart and sighed with emotion.

Not long after, the old man finished looking at all the Devil Cores and said with a hoarse voice, "A total of forty-three Devil Cores are worth 25,000 Origin Crystals."

"Twenty-five thousand Origin Crystals?"

Lin Chen raised his eyebrows, "That's too little."

"If you don't want to sell, then get the hell out of here."

He didn't expect that the old man would have such a firm attitude.

"Oh, so hard?"

Lin Chen sneered, and directly walked forward. He slapped the old man's table with a bang, "Old man, you dare to steal my money? I think you must be tired of living!"

"Brat, let me give you a piece of advice. Don't cause any trouble, or else I will make you understand what it means to not be able to bear the consequences."

The old man did not even look at Lin Chen as he threatened with a hoarse voice.

"Oh, and you want me to bear the consequences?"

Lin Chen laughed and knocked on the old man's table again: "Speak, which family are you with?"

"I'm afraid that with your status, you don't have the qualifications to know."

The old man was not angry.

Lin Chen was only a sixteen or seventeen year old brat. With a single glance, one could tell that he was a third generation disciple of the Purple Dawn City. Among the third generation disciples, there were only a few genius disciples that he could not afford to offend. However, it was clear that the brat in front of him did not belong to those geniuses.

Lin Chen also knew that it was obviously impossible to reason with the old man in front of him. Since he had no other choice, he could only give him a hard time.

However, it was also at this moment that an ethereal and beautiful female voice suddenly sounded from behind the room.

"Old Mu, why are you getting angry with a brat? It's not like our Exchange Hall is lacking that bit of money. Why are you tricking us?"

Although the voice was gentle, it carried a hint of coldness!

Hearing that, the old man's body immediately trembled for a moment before he regained his calm. However, he raised his head and looked at Lin Chen: "Brat, 45,000 Origin Crystals. How about it?"

"Forty-five thousand?"

Lin Chen was startled for a moment before he immediately nodded his head: "This price is not bad."

"Alright, then leave the Devil Core behind and go to the counter to withdraw money."

As he spoke, the old man lowered his head again and started to do something with his hands. It was obvious that he was informing the person at the counter in front of him.

Lin Chen, on the other hand, looked at the back of the room in surprise.

He was not a fool. How could he not understand that those words just now sounded like a suggestion, but it was actually an order!

Furthermore, Lin Chen could even see a rare trace of fear and reverence on the old man's face!

"It seems like she is definitely not an ordinary woman. However, from her voice, she seems to be very young?"

Lin Chen was a little speechless when he heard her voice but did not see her face. However, he did not stay for long and turned around to leave with Lin Yao.

After Lin Chen left, the old man glanced behind him with lingering fear. When he did not hear that person speak again, he heaved a sigh of relief, and his tensed body slowly relaxed.

As for Lin Chen, he smoothly withdrew the money and left with Lin Yao.

Since he had already obtained the money, the next thing he needed to do was to break through to the Great Completion of Earth Core Stage.

He held Lin Yao's hand and walked out of the trading clubhouse. Originally, he wanted to return to the Lin family directly, but he did not expect to hear a discordant voice beside his ear.

"Young Master Liu, it's here. I saw with my own eyes how that boy in tattered clothes brought that fairy-like woman into the trading club!"

First came a rough voice, which sounded very excited.

"Alright, you did well this time! After the matter is settled, I, Lau Yu, will definitely reward you handsomely!"

Then, a young but weak voice sounded.

"Ai! Yes, it's them. They came out!"

Suddenly, the boorish voice changed the topic and spoke with extreme excitement!

Hearing this, Lau Yu immediately turned his head to look at the source of the voice.
