Chapter 677: Chapter 266: The Silver Rat’s Surprise: Inheritance Jade Scroll

What could be so dangerous?

Of course, he wasn’t afraid. Besides, he still needed to be present to negotiate a discount on the Thunderous Mountains and Rivers Map.

So, Xiao Chen didn’t leave. Instead, he followed Golden Bull to a side hall.

Passing through a secret passage, they entered a brightly lit side hall where about a dozen cultivators were already seated.

Though they wore masks, each possessed an abyss-like aura. They were all late-stage Golden Core cultivators.

’Alright, I think I know where some of the danger is coming from.’

"The first item: the original first three scrolls of the Mojie Sect’s True Inheritor Cultivation Technique, the *True Scripture of Returning Spirit and Dipping Ink*."

Golden Bull introduced it directly, "It contains most of the content, only missing two Foundation Establishment spells and one Golden Core spell."

"One can cultivate with it all the way to a breakthrough into the Nascent Soul Realm."

’Well, this...’

At last, Xiao Chen understood the true source of the danger.

Daring to sell something like this... no wonder they had to operate within the Clarity Sect’s territory.

Had they dared to conduct this business within the Mojie Sect’s territory, a Nascent Soul True Monarch would have likely shown up overnight to deal with them.

Only by operating from within another sect’s territory could they buy themselves some time.

The second item was a Tier Four Thunder Pearl, equivalent to a full-power strike from a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

"Next is the third item: a Demonic Inheritance Jade Scroll discovered in some Ancient Ruins."

Golden Bull held up a blood-red jade scroll, showing it to the crowd.

He deliberately stimulated it with his Spiritual Qi, causing the jade scroll to emit a faint wisp of Demonic Qi.

Of everyone present, no one was more familiar with Demonic Qi than Xiao Chen.

He was one hundred percent certain that this was, indeed, an Inheritance Jade Scroll left behind by the Demon Dao.

’They even dare to sell a Demonic Inheritance. This really is the Black Market, alright.’

Xiao Chen glanced around. ’In the Southern Domain, anyone who saw something like this and failed to report it would be identified and treated as an accomplice to Demon Cultivators.’

’I wonder if they have similar rules here.’

"Oh? What type of Cultivation Technique is inside?"

A voice, obviously disguised, piped up, "It’s not one of those useless ones that requires the user’s Essence Blood, is it?"

Golden Bull frowned before answering, "That is still unknown. This is a single-use jade scroll, so its contents cannot be inspected."

"However, rest assured, everyone. We had an expert appraise it, and it is without a doubt a Demonic Inheritance Jade Scroll."

"Hmph!"

However, the voice retorted mockingly, "Are you trying to make fools of us?"

"Everyone knows Demon Cultivators are a bunch of lunatics. Who knows what kind of problems are attached to the things they leave behind."

"And now you’re trying to sell something that hasn’t even been inspected?"

Hearing this, Golden Bull’s voice hardened. "I’ll offer you a piece of advice, friend: if you don’t have a vajra drill, don’t try to mend porcelain."

"There are those who aren’t afraid of a few problems."

"You don’t need to worry about such matters on behalf of others!"

As a Black Market auctioneer, he had no intention of coddling his customers and immediately shot back.

He then announced, "The seller is prioritizing Spiritual Objects that can aid in breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm. They will not accept Spirit Pills or Talismans. Please begin the bidding."

That was a steep demand.

The crowd was silent for a moment before someone called out, "I can offer three hundred thousand Spirit Stones."

Golden Bull communicated with someone via Divine Sense for a moment before asking, "Are there any other offers?"

"The seller is willing to include a Demon Artifact found in the Relic to prove that this jade scroll comes from the Black Abyss Demon Sect, the sect that caused the Broken Blade Demonic Calamity."

"Among the Ancient Demon Sects, the Black Abyss Demon Sect ranks in the top three, at least."

’Broken Blade Demonic Calamity?’

Xiao Chen was immediately interested. Most of the time, a Demonic Calamity meant that the sect in question had utilized Evil Qi.

’In other words, the jade scroll very likely contains clues about Evil Qi!’

He immediately spoke up. "I can offer a Moon-Dyed Jade Marrow Ganoderma."

"However, I don’t want the Demon Artifact fragment. The seller will have to compensate me with... two hundred thousand Spirit Stones."

’The Demon Artifact is useless to me. I’d much rather have the Spirit Stones.’

Golden Bull paused. "The seller is willing to add one hundred thousand Spirit Stones to make up the difference."

Xiao Chen thought for a moment. "One hundred and fifty thousand Spirit Stones. Not a single stone less."

’Actually, a hundred thousand Spirit Stones isn’t a small amount.’

’But I just lost forty thousand Spirit Stones, so I have to make it back somewhere, right?’

Golden Bull conferred for a moment. "No problem. It’s a deal!"
