Bai Moxue tied up her hair, changed into a red dress, put on bracelets, stockings and boots. Her red lips were as alluring as flames.
If she walked on the main street, she would definitely turn many heads.
There might even be many young men coming to chat her up.
Bai Moxue changed into a sunny and youthful sporty look.
Unfortunately, for some reason she had to support her waist while walking.
The blush on her face hadnât faded. She was enjoying it, but also felt a bit of pain. In short, she was experiencing pleasure mixed with pain, though her tolerance was much higher than Dongfang Muqing.
At least she wasnât curled up in bed like the latter.
Luo Sheng glanced at her supporting her waist, âAre you sure youâre okay?â
âHmph, itâs all because darling didnât know how to cherish a delicate flower just now. Iâm your wife after all, couldnât you have been a bit gentler?â
âItâs precisely because youâre my wife that I should give you more, shouldnât I?â Luo Sheng looked at her with a half-smile.
Bai Moxue pouted coquettishly, âYou bad man~!â
Luo Sheng suddenly burst out laughing, finding it quite amusing. He teased further, âWho was it that got all fired up earlier? Now youâre blaming me? Hehe!â
âMen are just bad things. Itâs clearly all darlingâs fault!â Bai Moxue turned her head away with a snort, acting as if she was completely blameless.
Luo Sheng flicked her forehead lightly.
âLetâs go, if weâre any later the black market might close,â Luo Sheng skillfully changed the subject.
âMm-hmm.â
Bai Moxue tied her shoelaces and hurried over. Though her waist was still a bit sore, she could lean on Luo Sheng.
Bai Moxue directly linked her arm with his.
Her eyes showed a hint of excitement as she said, âLetâs go.â
Luo Sheng took out a black mask card and covered her face, âThis card is just for decoration. As long as you donât use your own abilities, no one will discover you.â
Thanks to the enhancement from the white clay man, most of Bai Moxueâs power was concealed, making her appear like an ordinary person. Unless someone touched her or peered with spiritual power, they wouldnât find anything amiss.
Moreover, as a gold-level card, Bai Moxue naturally had the ability to automatically screen out the probing of lower-level Card Masters.
So she was innately able to conceal her cultivation.
âMm-hmm.â
Bai Moxue nodded.
Then Luo Sheng also put on a mask for himself.
In fact, he could have just used the black and white ring, but the mask was for covering his face.
The two then left the villa.
They arrived at the black market hidden in the ghostly otherworld dimension.
Along the way, Luo Sheng saw dilapidated buildings and houses on both sides of the road.
Although the ghostly otherworld dimension had been eliminated, the renovation work here had not been fully carried out. Even if there were a few households, there were only sparse lights here and there.
The population was still very small.
No wonder the black market was set up here. It was sparsely populated and adequately concealed.
However, what Luo Sheng was most curious about was who exactly had set up this black market?
âThe entrance is over there.â Bai Moxue had already sensed the entrance of the black market.Read the latest chapters at NovelPing.
Luo Sheng looked up and saw an entrance like a black hole not far away.
Luo Sheng held Bai Moxueâs soft hand and entered the black market.
Everything before their eyes became illusory. When their vision brightened again, they saw a new marketplace.
This time it was no longer like the previous Western fantasy world.
It was an Oriental classical palace building, similar to Changâan city of the Tang Dynasty.
Most people entering the black market were wearing Tang Dynasty official robes or noble attire.
âThis place looks quite nice,â Bai Moxue said with interest as she looked around.
Previously without the help of the clay man, she was just a simple card and couldnât pass through the black market entrance, let alone walk around the black market like a normal person.
After all, summoning a card would be detected by the black market.
But now with the clay man as an aid, Bai Moxue wouldnât be discovered as a card at all.
Luo Sheng held her hand, âDonât get lost, stay close to me.â
The black market was now bustling with people coming and going in an endless stream.
Especially since the black market had been closed before, causing a large amount of demand to be temporarily suppressed. Now that the new black market had opened, people flocked to it.
Plus, after the great battle, the number of cards increased dramatically, and more people were selling cards, so even more people rushed to the black market.
âMm.â Bai Moxue held Luo Shengâs hand tightly.
The two strolled along.
Luo Sheng found that besides selling cards, the demand for card enhancement was also rising in the black market.
He saw many enhancersâ stalls surrounded by people.
And the prices were only getting higher.
The average price for enhancing a bronze card was over 200,000, while for silver cards it was even higher, reaching 500,000. Some had even exceeded the price of one card coin.
After all, after the great battle in Pingcheng, a large number of Card Masters realized the importance of strength. Of course, they had a large number of cards in hand. Selling them would result in a loss, but using them for enhancement could save a lot of money.
Especially since the alliance had rewarded a large amount of money, many Card Masters suddenly became quite wealthy.
Seeing this, Luo Sheng couldnât help but want to get involved.
Especially since there was still more than a week before going to Yuncheng, he wanted to take this opportunity to make a big profit.
So he came to the service station.
A female staff member asked, âHow may I help you?â
âIâd like to run a card enhancement business here.â
âDo you have an enhancerâs license?â
âYes.â Luo Sheng briefly showed her his enhancerâs license, of course covering his face and detailed information.
The woman smiled and said, âAlright, pay 30,000 yuan and you can have a stall, as well as a black market enhancerâs business license. However, to prevent heavy losses to customers due to enhancement failures, you must deposit cards of equal value with us for each business operation. Donât worry, weâre just acting as notaries.â
As she spoke, she also took out an instruction manual.
The black marketâs enhancement business had been reformed this time.
Enhancers deposit cards of a certain value with the black marketâs business department, and the business department gives the enhancers tokens of equal value.This chapter was copied from novelping(.)com without permission.
Then when a customer needs to enhance a card, they take away the corresponding tokens from the enhancer. If the enhancement fails, the customer can use the tokens to exchange for compensation at the business department, or the enhancer can pay to redeem the tokens themselves.
Of course, if the enhancement is successful, the customer pays the fee and returns the tokens at the same time.
If the tokens go missing, the customer has to compensate for them.
âThis is good, itâs very beneficial for both enhancers and Card Masters,â Luo Sheng commented. This was much better than the previous black market rules. Then he asked, âIs your black market from other big cities?â
âThatâs confidential, Iâm sorry I canât answer that,â the female staff member said apologetically.
âItâs fine. Hereâs the 30,000 and the collateral.â Luo Sheng handed over the money and a gold-level ăRock Forestă card as he spoke.
âThank you.â
The female staff member nodded and accepted the money and card.
But in the next moment she was stunned, because ăRock Forestă was a 3-star gold card!
This meant that the man before her was at least a gold-level enhancer.
This was a big deal, after all, the black market didnât even have a single gold-level enhancer. Usually powerful enhancers were kept by big families, and the powerful ones in the black market were just silver-level enhancers.
The gold-level enhancer before her was an honored guest of the black market.
âSir, are you really depositing this card?â she asked incredulously.
âIs there a problem?â Luo Sheng asked curiously.
âOf course not, but I need to consult my supervisor. Please wait a moment.â
She left for a while.
Then she came back with a middle-aged man.
âWelcome to do business in our black market. Youâre truly a shining star for us,â the middle-aged man said warmly, shaking hands with Luo Sheng.
âYouâre too kind. Can this card be exchanged for tokens?â Luo Sheng felt a bit awkward at his enthusiasm, so he changed the subject.
âOf course, no problem. However, your card is indeed not easy to exchange. This card is worth 300 card coins. You could actually make a lot of money just by selling the card.â
âI just want to purely serve others.â
Luo Sheng said against his conscience.
In fact, he still had 25 confiscated gold cards in hand. If he sold all of them, his wealth would rival that of family forces.
If he used the money from selling cards to continue buying low-level cards, then enhanced them to gold cards and sold them again, he could theoretically create an infinite loop.
But this was only possible in theory, not in practice.
Because the gold Card Master market in Pingcheng was limited, there were only a few gold Card Masters. If he couldnât sell them, he would be the only one at a loss.
Moreover, large-scale card turnover would likely arouse suspicion. After all, to enhance several gold cards, one would need to buy hundreds of cards at least.
If a Card Master had such a large purchase volume, the security bureau might come to check the next day. Especially large-scale selling of gold cards would definitely attract the attention of the City Lord.
At that time, it would be difficult to hide his identity and strength.
So, enhancing cards in the black market to make extra money, while also gaining a large amount of refining liquid, was safer.
Besides, a large part of the existing gold cards were confiscated from others. If sold, it would mean everyone would know it was Luo Sheng who killed Qin Taizhi and Xu Dongsen.
âYouâre truly a great benefactor!â the middle-aged man said warmly. âHow about this: you put up 50 card coins, and weâll give you tokens worth 100 card coins.â
âAlright, itâs a pleasure doing business with you.â
âThe pleasure is mine.â
Soon after, the black market had a new gold-level enhancer, and people quickly flocked to him.
