Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

The next morning, when Wang Yi received Huang Longxi's message, he was in the underground cultivation room of Qifeng Tower.

Since absorbing the passive magic of dispelling charms, Wang Yi only needs to maintain three hours of deep sleep to feel energetic all day.

With so much free time for sleep, I naturally used it for cultivation.

After taking a shower, I took the elevator back to the lobby of Qifeng Tower, where Huang Longxi was already waiting for me at a tea table in a secluded corner.

"Brother Wang!" Huang Longxi greeted Wang Yi hurriedly upon seeing him.

After Wang Yi sat down, Huang Longxi pushed a large black suitcase next to Wang Yi's legs and said in a low voice, "Brother Wang, shall we find a place to eat?"

Inside the suitcase were the ten magic crystals that Wang Yi had previously given to Huang Longxi for his services. After deducting the fee paid to Huang Longxi, there would still be about 2.6 million left.

Considering that Huang Longxi transferring money to him would be too conspicuous, Wang Yi told Huang Longxi to prepare some cash, and he would come and pick it up when he had time.

"There's no need to order. I still trust you, Brother Huang." Seeing that no one was around, Wang Yi ran his left index finger along the side of his glasses, then opened the virtual world and threw the suitcase inside.

"This..." Huang Longxi stared in disbelief at Wang Yi's actions. Wasn't he afraid of being summoned by law enforcement for releasing such divine-grade magic so recklessly in the city?

"It's alright, I've already reported it," Wang Yi explained casually, then asked, "Brother Huang, I heard there was trouble at the black market here yesterday?"

The reason Wang Yi called Huang Longxi over today, besides collecting money, was also to inquire about the black market and see if he could find any information about plastic surgery freaks.

"You knew about this as soon as it happened?" Huang Longxi asked, somewhat surprised, then said with great enthusiasm:

"Yesterday, there was a transaction on the black market involving two Fire Phoenix magic crystals. They were extremely rare high-level magic crystals, with a total value estimated to be over 100 million. These two magic crystals had been generating buzz for about a month and caused quite a stir in the black market. It is said that they attracted the attention of many foreigners. After a bidding war, they were finally won by a South Korean woman who offered a high price."

"Generally speaking, for such high-profile transactions that only happen once every few years, the black market at most takes a small cut and doesn't get too involved. But this transaction is said to be orchestrated by people in the black market, buying low and selling high, so they've made a lot of money."

"Unexpectedly, during the transaction with the buyer, they were double-crossed. The buyer killed all the mages who had been trading on the black market and then ran away with the Fire Phoenix Magic Crystal."

"I have to say, foreign mages are really unscrupulous. They have no sense of morality at all. If they don't want to spend money, they just resort to robbery. Not only did people die in the black market of Zhuchuan City this time, but they also lost magic crystals. They really lost both their wife and their army."

"With such a huge loss, the black market naturally couldn't let it go. So they offered an exorbitant reward to find the buyer's true identity. They also offered two Fire Phoenix Magic Crystals and one Space Magic Crystal, saying they would be auctioned off the day after tomorrow, in an attempt to salvage their reputation, since this whole thing was really embarrassing."

"Of course, I estimate that this auction is just a formality, like Lulu Baby, showing the strength of the black market and demonstrating that they still have valuable magic crystals hidden away, so that even if they are robbed, they won't be seriously injured. In the end, the so-called auction will definitely be won by the black market's own people, just passing the magic crystals from one hand to the other."

"Then last night, we found out that the South Korean buyer was some kind of 'borderline blogger.' Based on the information we found, the black market people went to the hotel the buyer had booked overnight, but of course, they ended up empty-handed."

"The luggage is still there, but the person is long gone. I knew it. Who would be stupid enough to stay in the same place and stay in a hotel after committing the crime? That borderline blogger's identity is probably fake. By now, the person has probably already run out of Zhuchuan City."

Listening to Huang Longxi's account, Wang Yi roughly judged that the information on the black market was far worse than that of the Night Watch Army, and they didn't even know that the buyer was actually a plastic surgery freak.

Of course, it's also possible that Huang Longxi didn't know, since he's just a nobody in the black market and his inquiries are mostly for gossip purposes, so their veracity remains to be verified.

"How many people died in the black market this time? Do you know what their ranks were?" Wang Yi asked for more specific information so that he could assess the strength of the plastic surgery monster.

"Two mid-level mages and one high-level mage. I guess it's because the Fire Phoenix's magic crystal is a high-level magic crystal, so the black market also considered the possibility that the buyer was a high-level mage, and specially dispatched a high-level mage. But I didn't expect that he would be killed just like that."

At this point, Huang Longxi sounded a bit annoyed, saying bluntly that the black market mages were too weak, and that they were wiped out by a foreign woman.

"Being able to kill a mage of the same level, this plastic surgery monster's strength is really impressive." So Wang Yi asked again, "Brother Huang, do you know which hotel this buyer booked?"

Huang Longxi nodded: "I know that. It's at the Dongming International Hotel. The black market people have already gone to look for it, but there's no one there. They probably know the other party has already run away, so they didn't keep this information a secret."

Wang Yi noted down the hotel's name, then asked with some curiosity, "The black market people brazenly went to the hotel to ambush this buyer? Even if they did manage to ambush him, what could they do? After all, this buyer can kill high-level mages of the same rank, so he's not weak. Besides, it's in the city center; the black market can't just take action directly, can they?"

"The black market certainly wouldn't dare to take direct action. If they actually find this buyer, they'd at most adopt a surveillance strategy. They definitely wouldn't dare to take action; if a fight broke out, both sides would be killed on the spot by law enforcement."

"Generally speaking, the black market will send out a scapegoat to report directly to law enforcement, aiming for mutual destruction. The scapegoat will only need to serve a few years in prison before being released. Although it's a bit pathetic, it's definitely better than having someone kill and rob someone and then escape. There's no other way, but that's how the rules are here. If a fight breaks out in the city and some ordinary people die, the entire black market will be turned upside down from top to bottom."

Hearing Huang Longxi's words, Wang Yi was extremely shocked. He never expected that the black market would use a self-destructing truck to retaliate against the plastic surgery monster.

It's truly astonishing that an illegal organization, after being bullied, actually chose to call the police.

Afterwards, Wang Yi chatted with Huang Longxi for a few more minutes. Although Huang Longxi didn't know why Wang Yi was so well-informed and concerned about the black market, he didn't ask any further questions.

Ever since witnessing the spatial rift incident in Lanling City, Huang Longxi knew that this young man, Wang, was about to soar to great heights. Under such circumstances, Huang Longxi was already quite satisfied to have managed to establish a connection with him.

After Wang Yi checked the time on his phone twice, Huang Longxi tactfully indicated that he had other things to do and prepared to leave.

Wang Yi walked Huang Longxi a few steps and bumped into Fu Ying, who was returning from outside.

"Aunt Fu."

"sister in law."

Wang Yi and Huang Longxi greeted each other.

"Brother Huang." Fu Ying nodded slightly to Huang Longxi and then said to Wang Yi with a hint of reproach, "Why didn't you tell me you were coming, Xiao Yi? I could have had your Uncle Jiang come out and cook you some dishes."

Wang Yi explained, "Aunt Fu, I came here on short notice and wanted to ask Brother Huang about something, so I didn't say hello."

Fu Ying smiled and said, "Knowing you were coming, Yingying wanted to come see you last night, but I stopped her so as not to disturb your rest. She went to school early today. Do you have time tonight? Let's get together."

Wang Yi couldn't refuse, so she could only say, "Yes, yes."

"Then it's settled."

After finalizing their dinner plans, Fu Ying and Wang Yi chatted casually for a few more minutes before leaving with the lobby manager.

After seeing Huang Longxi off from Qifeng Tower, Wang Yi sent a message to Yang Li to come out.

He planned to first take a look around that Dongming International Hotel.
