Walking out of the passage, the clearness in front of you suddenly became clear.

In front of me was a huge hollow cave, and a hole was leaked from the high dome at the convergence, from which the moonlight and the downward convection wind were pouring down.

The surrounding rock walls were divided into several layers, and none of them were inserted with oil-soaked torches, illuminating the cave as if it were daytime.

Their location is a high platform with winding down stairs on both sides. At a glance, there are densely packed street stalls, and countless people wearing masks are passing through them, looking for things they like or need.

And at the deepest part of the cave, there is a large open space where no one sets up a stall, only a huge curtain, and seats are set on the surrounding rock walls, but they are all empty at this time.

Shangguan Li took a rough look and knew that the space behind the curtain was quite large, and it should be the place where the auction would be held later.

"Hey! Why are you standing here? Why don't you go down quickly?"

A somewhat spoiled girl's voice came from behind.

Shangguan Li then realized that the platform at the exit was very narrow. The group of three of them went to this station, and the people behind them really couldn't get out.

"Excuse me."

She turned around and said, then walked down the stairs on the left first.

Shangguan Li just took a look and found that most of the sellers of herbs are concentrated here, so she still has to get some raw materials to enrich her reserves first.

There are not many buyers here. After all, most of the people who come here are people with certain status and are probably very keen to buy finished elixirs.

As for herbs, unless they are particularly precious, they will probably only buy them, Shangguan Li, who is very proficient in drug manufacturing and pharmaceuticals.

Shangguan Li walked all the way, but when he saw what he needed, he didn't rush to stop and buy it. Instead, he honestly visited all the stalls with herbs and communicated with every seller.

"Master, what is she doing?"

Xuanyuan Ye blinked his eyes and his tone was relaxed.

"Save us money."

Give it to us?

Yaoguang was chewing on this word, was there not enough inventory in the Dark Moon Pavilion?

It shouldn't be. Tianxuan spent a lot of money on all kinds of strange herbs some time ago. It was impossible for him to spend it so quickly.

But he didn't ask this because he discovered that his general's eyes always stopped on the woman, as if he was very interested in her.

"this."

Shangguan Li picked out a dog-tail grass-like thing from a pile of garbage-like weeds.

The seller who looked a little drowsy and lazily left a sentence.

"Five hundred taels."

"Serious?"

Shangguan Li frowned. Although it was a question, his voice was very calm.

The seller laughed.

"Just-price, get out if you don't buy it!"

"oh."

Shangguan Li took out the black wooden sign on his waist, shook it in front of the seller, and said with a smile.

"How about I pay a thousand taels?"

The seller can do business here, so he is naturally knowledgeable. He recognizes what this black wooden sign represents, and his eyes lit up when he hears this.

"Okay, I just like a cheerful person like a girl..."

“But there is a condition.”

Shangguan Li took the wooden sign back a little and gently avoided the seller's hand.

The seller's tone suddenly became bad when he heard this, and he said angrily.

"What are the conditions? One thousand taels that were agreed upon is one thousand taels, and it won't be sold for less than this price!"

"This woman is so stupid."

Yaoguang looked at the scene and said softly.

How can I still report to the higher level when buying things in such a place? Isn’t it obvious that I’m waiting to be cheated?

Xuanyuan Ye didn't say anything, but just looked at Shangguan Li's back quietly.

Shangguan Li's face did not move, and she said lightly.

"How about buying the opportunity you can continue to stay here with a thousand taels?"

The seller's heart trembled and his body suddenly became straight, and it seemed that he was about to rush up to beat people at any time.

"What do you mean?"

Shangguan Li was playing with the black wooden sign in his hand, and his voice was even colder than the moonlight above his head.

"This firewood picking can be called the first event in the black market. I guess I won't let some valuable people come in and make money. The garbage you have on your stall can be kept from being driven out. I guess..."

She paused for a moment, and then suddenly realized what she thought of as if she had finally remembered the reason.

"Either you gave the money to get in, or someone was covering you. But no matter which one it is, as long as it is made public, whether the business can be done is another matter. What will happen to you in the future?"

Even if the seller was blocked by the mask, he could not hide his frightened expression.

The firewood collection will indeed have high requirements for sellers who can enter it, and they usually cannot get in.

But these people sell herbs differently. If the herbs are not used as medicine, it will be difficult to confirm whether they have any effect.

Moreover, the amount of herbs is large, so it is too late to check them one by one.

So as long as you deliberately pick up some wild grasses that are rare in the outside world and pay more money, the people who check in will not be very serious.

Almost every year, there are people who come in like this and want to drink soup with him, and he is no exception.

Although this is almost a well-known secret in the black market, this woman is right, knowing that it is one thing in her heart, and being exposed on the spot is another thing.

Even if the people who hold the firewood picking party are willing to turn a blind eye to their existence, it does not mean that they will fight against distinguished guests for the sake of these gangsters.

Shangguan Li's smile became stronger and stronger.

"How are you thinking? I don't have much time to think with you."

The seller looked at her gradually from fierceness to compromise, and finally he was defeated.

"Dede, take it away!"

"Oh, that's so embarrassing."

Shangguan Li said this, but his subordinates were not polite at all. They pulled out four or five herbs from the pile of weeds and said with a smile.

"Thank you, helping your boss to have a prosperous business."

As she said that, she got up and went to the next house.

Then she didn't know what she said to the seller of the stall, but she took seven or eight herbs of ordinary-looking herbs from it without paying a penny.

Yaoguang opened his eyes wide, which really opened his eyes.

"Has no one raised her question before?"

Xuanyuan Ye touched his chin, Ranmo's black pupils looked at Shangguan Li's back and said with a smile.

"Not many people can tell whether so many herbs are useful in the blink of an eye, and even if there are such people, they probably don't have the courage to be so arrogant here."

Yaoguang followed the gaze of his general and looked at the woman who was moving around in various herb stalls. He suddenly felt that the general was indeed reasonable to look at her with admiration.
