Body Refinement for Longevity: From Health Cultivation Exercises to Overcoming All Techniques

The dwarf looked at Chen Han and suddenly laughed again.

"You're an interesting kid."

Time passed slowly, and after half an hour, several more people arrived one after another, all of them covering their faces so that their appearances could not be seen.

The group arrived without uttering a word, maintaining a safe distance of several meters throughout.

Judging from their physique and appearance, they all seem to be martial arts practitioners.

Indeed, without real skills, who would dare to come here?

dong dong dong...

It seemed that it was about time. The dwarf on the small boat tapped the hull with his oar, and the others boarded the boat one after another. Chen Han followed suit and was the last to board.

After the dwarf collected all the silver from the group, he started rowing and slowly sailed into the misty depths of the Black Lake.

The water was as black as an abyss, and the surrounding mist was eerie. Chen Han dared not move and silently watched the people around him.

He has lost an arm and is now completely incapable of fighting. If he encounters any trouble, he will simply run away.

Fortunately, the people on the boat were very law-abiding.

After about half an hour, the small boat reached the shore, and the group disembarked.

Stepping onto the sand, Chen Han looked around and thought, "This seems to be an island in a lake."

There was a small sign ahead with the words "Black Market" in large characters.

In the mud beside the path, white bones were faintly visible.

The others scattered, while the ugly dwarf stood in front of him, turning back and gesturing with his chin.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Wang Yue. Come on, let me introduce myself first."

As he spoke, he walked into the depths of the island on his own, with Chen Han following closely behind. Without making a sound, Chen Han pulled his straw hat down even further, so that the shadow covered his entire face.

"Wang Yue? A good name."

Chen Han muttered to himself, glancing at Wang Yue's short, childlike back.

Deep within the island lies a small street, a main road, and several smaller roads, with small vendors lining the muddy roadside.

When Chen Han saw what the seller was selling, his pupils contracted slightly, and he felt a chill run down his spine.

"Sir, would you like to take a look?"

The stall owner noticed Chen Han and said, "They are all top-quality goods, virgins who have never been with anyone."

"Oh, hey, don't rush off. If you don't like it, there are still noble ladies from the capital, and the young princess..."

Chen Han looked extremely displeased. "Most of these women look only a few years older than Shen Yue, yet they're chained up, treated like commodities to be bought and sold."

He felt a chill run down his spine when he thought about the recent spate of missing girls in the city.

"This world!"

Chen Han didn't pause for a second; he had neither the will nor the ability to get involved in such matters.

"Hehe, kid, if you think it's too expensive, you can go to the shantytown for a visit. It's not expensive, just three taels of silver. You can make any request you want."

"Very good. Tell me about any other wonderful features this place has."

Chen Han knew the principle that the weak are bullied, so he would not act like a lamb.

"Of course, having received the money, I'll have to get the job done..."

Next, Wang Yue explained to Chen Han in detail the items traded in the various shops on the black market, as well as the personalities of the shop owners.

Who are the people you can befriend, and who are the people you should avoid?

Chen Han didn't remember much, but he vividly remembered the plump woman who sold meat.

After Wang Yue finished speaking, he followed behind him and took a tour of the black market.

"Very good, I'll come to you again if I need anything next time."

Chen Han turned and left, throwing out ten taels of silver without looking back.

After taking it, the short Wang Yue's expression was slightly subtle. He muttered to himself, "It seems that this is the person who killed Xiong Li. He does seem quite extraordinary. It's rare to see someone so calm on their first visit to the black market."

Wang Yue could easily find the Black Mountain Gang's spies in the black market, inform them of this matter, and then get a large sum of money for free.

But is it necessary?

"It's just money. I can earn more than ten taels a day by paying seventy percent of the taxes to the higher-ups. That's enough for me to find women every night, buy wine, and live a carefree life."

Therefore, it's best to just live your own life well and not bother others.

In a place like this, where hidden talents and promising young masters abound, those who gossip... have long since turned to dust.

...

Chen Han had a clear goal: the charming young woman Wang Yue had mentioned.

It was a small room, filled with the stench of blood that seemed to seep into his mouth and nose, almost making him vomit.

Suppressing his nausea, he stepped across the threshold and into the house, where a beautiful woman, eight feet tall, walked towards him!

She had fair skin, a rosy complexion, and a pair of alluring eyes.

She was wearing a white dress with large patches of blood on it, and her bare, long legs made Chen Han gasp. Her bulging chest looked like it was stuffed with two soccer balls.

"What a big...woman."

"This young master is a new face. Do you have someone to introduce you? Auntie will give you a discount."

The beautiful woman's eyes lit up when she saw Chen Han, as if she had seen a rare treasure. She gracefully walked over to Chen Han and pulled him to sit down.

She had the demeanor of a well-bred lady, but Chen Han inexplicably felt that she was a bit flirtatious.

Chen Han swallowed hard. "No, this is my first time visiting this place. How much is the meat?"

The meat he was referring to was, of course, the meat of exotic beasts!

"Meat, it's so cheap, only fifty taels a catty."

Chen Han's facial muscles twitched violently.

This is cheap?

You're practically ready to just rob it.

"Then cut off half a pound for me."

Chen Han pondered for a while and decided to test the waters first.

Upon hearing this, the beautiful woman lightly covered her cherry lips with her slender hand and chuckled softly.

"Young master, this shop does not sell half-pound items."

She placed her hand on Chen Han's thigh, her gaze as if looking at a little lamb, her voice alluring and seductive, making Chen Han's bones melt.

"Is that so? Then I'll look around some more."

Chen Han made a move to leave, but was unexpectedly pressed down by the beautiful woman, and he instantly became alert.

According to Wang Yue, the rules of the black market are ironclad, and those who break them will face severe consequences, regardless of which force is behind them.

"And I only have two hundred taels of silver on me. Compared to the people here, calling me a pauper is an understatement. If they were to harm me, it would certainly do more harm than good."

"Shopkeeper, is there anything else?"

Chen Han calmly removed the jade-like hand from his thigh, his tone solemn.

He was dressed in black clothes and robes, his hands and feet completely covered. Unless the woman had X-ray vision, she would never be able to see his background.

"Don't rush off. As for the price... we can discuss it. Since it's your first time here, I'll give you a discount, but you have to agree to two conditions."

"What are the conditions?"

The beautiful woman poured Chen Han a cup of tea, crossed her legs, and tiptoed barefoot. "First, from now on, you can only buy meat from me. I guarantee that my meat will be cheaper than most shops on the black market, and the quality will be more guaranteed."

"If I break my promise, this statement is null and void, and you can buy it wherever you want."

Chen Han's eyes darted around, finding nothing amiss. "I can agree to that. What's the second condition?"

"Call me Auntie."

???

The beautiful woman glared at the straightforward man, crossed her arms, and said, "He's only twenty-six, in the prime of his life. You keep calling him 'shopkeeper,' it sounds like you're calling an old man, it's awful."

"Hurry up, call her Aunt Xue'er, I'll sell it to you for twenty-five taels a catty."

Chen Han was terrified; the price was incredibly low!

He had just inquired with Wang Yue about the price of exotic beast meat, which was cheaper recently, but still around fifty taels per catty, which was ridiculously expensive.

At this moment, you can buy it at half price simply by calling her "Auntie".

value!

Don't even mention calling him "Auntie," I'd even make him call me "Mom"!
