Stepping onto the path to immortality, it all begins with buying the daughter of a disgraced officia

Noon.

Snow stopped.

Su Mu successfully entered the city.

This line.

He changed his clothes, no longer pretending to be old, but instead put on a black robe and placed a pad on each shoulder.

Not only that, he also wore a mask to prevent his identity from being exposed.

Without it.

Because the place he was going to was the most chaotic and lawless barren land in Pingyang County, the Yunfan Black Market!

According to his inquiries, the Yunfan Black Market, also known as Yunfan Marketplace, was originally just a place where a few independent cultivators traded privately.

With the changing times and development, it eventually evolved into the largest trading venue besides Wanbao Chamber of Commerce!

The area is teeming with merchants, a diverse mix of good and bad, and even has cultivators in charge. Even the city lord's mansion rarely gets involved.

The fact that the black market has developed to such an extent is enough to prove how terrifying the forces behind it are!

Furthermore, if he were to sell pills through legitimate channels, he would inevitably attract the attention of certain individuals, and his current strength is insufficient to expose his identity as an alchemist.

While going to the black market to trade under a concealed identity doesn't guarantee safety, it's better than being secretly watched.

The forces in Pingyang City are complex and intertwined. The Green Snake Society alone is already giving him a headache. If other forces were to come, he would probably perish halfway before he could become stronger.

Not long after!

Yunfan Market.

Su Mu had a clear purpose. He walked into the largest shop and went straight to the counter, asking in a slightly hoarse out-of-town accent:

"How do I get through this hidden door?"

brush--

Upon hearing this...

Standing at the counter, the middle-aged man in a light yellow brocade robe raised an eyebrow, sized Su Mu up and down, and replied, "Which gang are you from?"

"I'm from no particular sect or faction, just borrowing this place to take something."

Su Mu answered fluently.

These are common slang terms used in the underworld of Pingyang County. "Anmen" refers to the black market, and "Zou Dian Dong Xi" means to sell things.

If you can't answer the question, being barred from the black market is a minor issue; if you attract the attention of Yunfan Market, the consequences will be much more serious.

Therefore.

He made thorough preparations before he came!

"When you first enter the market, don't ask about its background; just talk about the price. After you leave, grudges and affections are irrelevant to the market!"

The shopkeeper handed over a bamboo plaque engraved with the character "入" (enter), gave a few instructions, and then beckoned to the woman waiting nearby, signaling her to lead Su Mu into the black market.

"My lord, please come with me."

The woman in charge of guiding us was dressed in blue. While not stunningly beautiful, she was still quite pretty and could be considered a top-quality woman.

Led by her, Su Mu first passed through a long, dark path. As they went deeper, the noise grew louder and louder. When they passed through a gate engraved with a magic array, a bustling scene came into view!

The black market was completely different from what he had imagined. It was luxuriously decorated and resplendent, with beautiful women soliciting customers at every stall. Red carpets stretched out underfoot, and glass lamps shone brightly overhead!

In addition, the black market is imbued with a faint spiritual energy, which, accompanied by leisurely music, almost makes people forget about time!

What surprised Su Mu even more was that the black market wasn't just a market street; it also included brothels, gambling dens, and auction houses...

Unlike the outside world, the items here are rare and precious!

"My lord, we have arrived at the black market. This servant shall take her leave now."

Only after the woman who had been guiding him left did Su Mu head towards the auction venue in the black market!

Unlike entering Yunfan Market, you must pass a verification process to enter the auction; otherwise, you won't even be qualified to enter!

"I'm selling flawless quality pills. Get your managers out here!" Su Mu's tone was indifferent, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

This put considerable pressure on the two guards. They exchanged a glance, one of them excused himself, while the other bowed respectfully to Su Mu and said politely:

"Sir, please wait a moment, I will report to the alchemist at the venue immediately!"

They're not stupid. The influence of a single alchemist is enough to make the entire Yunfan Market take notice. Moreover, an alchemist who can refine flawless quality pills will undoubtedly attract the attention of various forces once the news gets out!

You can offend anyone, but you absolutely cannot offend an alchemist!

A moment of effort.

The guards who had left earlier hurriedly arrived, following behind a woman in purple.

Su Mu followed the gaze and was immediately drawn to the woman in purple.

She wore a purple cheongsam, her figure was voluptuous and alluring, and her graceful steps and the movement of her full hips were full of charm!

As for her appearance, she was exceptionally beautiful, with snow-white skin and delicate pink lips. She was just as stunning as Ye Qingyan and Shen Yanran, and even had a more mature charm!

"Sir, are you sure you want to offer a flawless quality pill?"

The woman spoke with a hint of doubt, and her beautiful eyes looked Su Mu up and down, but she couldn't see anything unusual.

Su Mu remained silent, his hand sweeping across the storage bag. A pill radiating spiritual light caught the eyes of the group. The woman in purple widened her eyes in shock, her voice trembling.

"It's truly of flawless quality!" Exclaiming in amazement, she quickly followed up, "Sir, what are the effects of this pill? Could you explain in detail?"

As the chief alchemist of Yunfan Market, with a rank of three, this was the first time she had ever seen a flawless elixir!

In the Xuanling Continent, the quality of elixirs is divided into:

Waste pills, inferior pills, good quality, fine quality, superior quality, perfect, flawless!

Let alone a third-level alchemist like her, even a fifth-grade alchemy master would probably be unable to refine a flawless quality pill. Refining a superior quality pill would be the best they could do!

It's easy to imagine how powerful the man in black robes is!

Regardless of the elixir's effectiveness, its flawless quality alone makes it priceless!

Su Mu spoke calmly and casually, "This is a Qi Gathering Pill. Martial artists and cultivators alike can greatly enhance their cultivation by taking it, and it has no side effects or toxicity!"

brush--

Qi Gathering Pill?

To improve cultivation level? And without any poisonous pills?

The sight of these words together struck the woman in purple like a bolt from the blue. Suddenly realizing her lapse in composure, she coughed a few times, quickly regaining her composure, though with a newfound respect. "Sir, please come to your esteemed living room so we can have a more detailed discussion..."

Su Mu, his brows furrowed slightly beneath the mask, but did not refuse, following the woman in purple to the VIP room.

en route.

She introduced herself, "Sir, my name is Meng Ziling. May I ask your name?"

"Mu Su".

Su Mu spoke calmly and did not reveal his real name, after all, when you're traveling, you have to choose your own identity!

"Musu?"

Meng Ziling raised an eyebrow, pondering to herself, 'There doesn't seem to be a Mu family in Pingyang City. Could he be a rogue cultivator?'

If that's the case, then she will definitely recruit him into her ranks. A pharmacist who can refine flawless quality alchemy is a dazzling presence in all directions!

She was determined to make a name for herself and show those old fogies in the clan that women were no less capable than men and were not just tools for marriage alliances!

A little while.

The two entered the VIP living room.

"Please wait a moment, sir. I'll be right back."

"..."

Su Mu nodded.

But unexpectedly.

No sooner had Meng Ziling left than two beautiful young women, dressed in light clothing, their figures subtly revealed, and with exquisite features, walked in.

"My lord, you must be tired from your journey. Let me help you relax."
