A stall could be set up just by finding an empty spot? No one is managing the entire black market?
That also meant that no one from the heavenly network was meddling in this affair. Everything was developing naturally, was it because⌠they didnât have the capacity to?!
After all, the management of a black market should be handled by someone who was in the business? If the government meddles in these affairs, a bunch of people would definitely be scared off within moments.
Lu Shu felt that such a black market probably wouldnât exist for long. Sooner or later, someone would see the benefits of this place and rules and regulations will be set up.
At least donât let such a disco-running scammer here. At least have some morals when scamming!
Lu Shu continued to walk forward, feeling as if he was looking at people similar to the boss he encountered. The items offered in the stalls were not special at all, and he could feel no magical energy from them at all.
The spears he obtained in the remains all reverberated intensely with magical energy! Especially that one from the generalâs hands, which was the one possessed by Li Yixiao now. Back when the black dragon was released, Lu Shu could feel the terrifying waves of energy from far away.
To be honest, his expectations for these stalls shouldnât be too high. After all, thereâs not a single practitioner here after a long while. It would be real mysterious of they could actually differentiate which ones exuded magical waves.
Lu Shu previously wanted to see how much his spears were worth. After all, one day he would completely master his sword manipulation. His spear throwing, although powerful and terrifying, was just an ability he currently used.
This led Lu Shu to think, one spear could probably match the price of one plot of magical land? After all, plots of magical land were readily available but magical equipment was quite rare, and not available to just anyone.
But looking at things now, there was nothing he could make comparisons with. Everyone else put items from home and made them seem like special items. His spears would really seem mediocreâŚ
He moved deeper inside quietly. Initially, Lu Shu thought that the stuff in the shophouses would be different, but he was ultimately disappointed. Even with a bigger storefront, there wasnât much difference in the items.
It was already dawn, but the black market was still bustling. There were people who really came to buy stuff, while there were those who came just to see what all the commotion was aboutâŚ
Lu Shu was rather disappointed as he saw hordes of people moving around, damn⌠this black market was absolutely the biggest joke in his vacationâŚ
He then saw Yuan Tuoliang and his friends. Even when Lu Shu brushed past them, the other party didnât realize Lu Shuâs identity.
âThereâs so much stuff here!â Yuan Tuoliang and his friends couldnât hide their excitement and looked around in enthusiasm.
âBut we donât know which items are real. The owners wouldnât let us try them, thereâs bound to be plenty of fake stuff!â
âWhat if we unknowingly get ourselves a great steal?â Yuan Tuoliang discussed excitedly.
Lu Shu couldnât feel more annoyed as he listened to their conversation. Canât you⌠differentiate between actual magical instruments and daily household items?!
Damn, wasnât this like walking across a landmine blindfolded?
No, Lu Shu realized a problem all of a sudden. He knew the difference between magical equipment and normal items because of the magical equipment he obtained in the remains. But students outside of Yuzhou had never set foot in a remain. They might be daoyuan students, but that didnât mean that they were exposed to magical equipment.
This meant that they were misinformed and there was information asymmetry. Lu Shu suddenly felt a sense of superiorityâŚ
The term âgetting a stealâ is too tempting. Most people hope to get lucky and get a steal in their daily life, to take the shortcut in anything they do. But the truth was, many of these people who hoped to get a steal would, more often than not, get played by othersâŚ
And scammers loved these people who thought that they could get a steal.
Lu Shu didnât waste more time on this group of people. He had more important stuff to do, and whatâs most important now was to check if anyone sold anything genuine here!
He was rather troubled. In such a big black market, he had still yet to make a legitimate finding in over 20 minutes of exploring.
Or could it be that the shop owners hid their best stuff unless they encountered some rich tycoon?
At this moment, a shop owner in front of Lu Shu was bellowing merrily, âEverything here is good stuff. Look at the whisk on the left, itâs traded to me by a practitioner. Have you seen the great daoist priest on television? This is from him!â
Lu Shu remained expressionless. Anything without magical waves had to be fake. As for that daoist priest, Lu Shu indeed asked Xi Fei about him. That priest was one of the few class C experts in the country, assisting a heavenly king in looking over Nanjiang.
Seeing that this shop owner was clearly spreading lies and conning passers-by, Lu Shu turned around and decided to leave. Seeing him leave so willingly led the shop owner into thinking that this kid knew whatâs going on in this field. Under normal circumstances, most people would be captivated by what he had saidâŚ
The shop owner analyzed Lu Shuâs expression closely. After he stared for a few moments as if trying to confirm something, he suddenly spoke, âAre you a practitioner?â
âYeah,â Lu Shu nodded his head. There was no point in hiding this fat, what was the point of coming here if he wasnât a practitioner?
The shop ownerâs eyes immediately lit up as Lu Shu admitted to being a practitioner, âThen I might have exactly what you need.â
Lu Shu was stunned for a moment. Could it be that the genuine transactions will only take place after he had revealed his identity as a practitioner?
As if he looked through Lu Shuâs doubt, the shop owner lowered his volume and explained, âThis black market of ours might not have been in operation for a long time, but it does have a huge reputation. Itâs not that we donât dare to sell some stuff, itâs just that many commoners come here every day to ask about everything without making any purchase. Itâs just a pure waste of time! So afterward, we discussed and decided that only practitioners could purchase the good stuff. Why would commoners need all these? So we will choose our customers. We will make sure our customer is a practitioner before we take out the good stuffâŚâ
Oh⌠Lu Shu was rather shocked. It was so troublesome? He then asked, âWhat do you have here? Forget about those that are colorful and emit light. Share something good with me.â
âExpert,â The shop owner smiled and stuck out a thumb, âSadly, I do not have the magical equipment you want. But⌠I have magical stones!â

Lu Shu acknowledged him, âCan I have a look?â
The shop owner replied softly, âCould you perhaps exhibit some of your abilities pleaseâŚâ
As he finished, the shop owner brought a wooden ball forward. Lu Shu received the ball and with a squeeze of his palm, the ball was crushed to smithereens. The integrity of the wood was strong, and it required an immense amount of strength for it to be crushed.
The shop owner was shocked. Previously, there were buyers and they just had to cause a crack or dent in the ball. As long as they could do it, they were not commoners.
But Lu Shuâs move was extremely terrifying. Lu Shu himself didnât think much of it as it was just a breezy squeeze of his hand. But in the eyes of the shop owner, Lu Shu had become the minority of great practitioners!
