The Prodigies War-Chapter 2230 Black Market Goods

An Zheng thought that Lin Xun was deliberately making things difficult for him.

Even if he sold himself, he probably still wouldn’t be able to afford to bid for the absolute breath water...

However, the next moment, a wave of shame and shock washed over him.

Lin Xun took out a storage bag that contained more than thirty Emperor-grade weapons. Although they were all of the mythic-grade, their value was immeasurable!

“If these are not enough to buy the absolute breath water, then use what’s in this storage bag.” As Lin Xun said that, he handed another bag to An Zheng.

An Zheng opened it and was stunned to see it filled with tens of millions of true dragon coins, piles of rare treasures, and countless divine materials and godly materials...

An Zheng gasped in shock and fell silent for a long while before he finally believed that Lin Xun was serious about winning the bid for the absolute breath water!

He couldn’t help but ask, “Why won’t you go there in person, Elder?”

“It’s not convenient,” stated Lin Xun.

It was indeed inconvenient. Places like auction houses were always crowded, and if someone recognized him, it would undoubtedly lead to a lot of trouble.

Of course, Lin Xun wasn’t afraid of trouble. The reason he asked An Zheng to go on his behalf was that An Zheng was a pure-blooded descendant of the Bi’an Imperial Clan, making him someone no one would dare provoke on Jade Rainbow Island.

In addition, the treasures he handed over to An Zheng had all come from the Imperial True Hou Clan and could be considered stolen property. If they were used in the transaction, it was bound to attract attention and possibly be exposed.

He wouldn’t have to worry about any issues if An Zheng was the one handling the disposal of the stolen goods.

“Off you go. I will go find you once the auction is over.”

Lin Xun patted the still-dazed An Zheng on the shoulder and said, “Once this is all settled, I’ll let you see what the real Bi’an Stamp is like.”

An Zheng nodded and took a deep breath. “Then I’ll go now.”

It wasn’t until An Zheng arrived at the Heavenly Appraisal House that Lin Xun’s previous remark struck him. What did he mean by the ‘real Bi’an Stamp’?

He found it a little absurd.

After all, the Bi’an Stamp was an inheritance of their Bi’an Imperial Clan!

Shaking his head, An Zheng decided not to dwell on it further. After stating his identity, he was promptly escorted to the premium private room in Heavenly Appraisal House.

......

Meanwhile, Lin Xun wandered around Jade Rainbow Island on his own, continuing to spend money lavishly.

A treasure he had not heard of?

He bought it!

Ingredients he had not seen before?

He bought them!

Specialties that seemed interesting?

He bought them!

He bought items continuously as he strolled, and wherever he went, he was met with warm hospitality. His lavish spending even caused quite a stir among the crowds.

Before long, nearly every merchant on Jade Rainbow Island knew that a wealthy and influential man had visited, vividly demonstrating what it meant to throw money around like dirt and indulge in extravagant spending.

True dragon coins, crafted from pure wonder-gold dao crystal, were a currency recognized by all creatures in the True Dragon World.

However, to Lin Xun, the currency was just a number and had little value. If he didn’t spend it now, he had no use for them when he returned to the Ancient Nebula Road.

The Imperial True Hou Clan was, after all, an ancient powerhouse that had survived through the ages, and the wealth they had amassed was enough to make any Emperor covet it.

Now, those riches had become Lin Xun’s spoils. In addition to the treasures he had handed over to An Zheng, he still possessed many more.

In short, he was not short of money!

Before long, Lin Xun arrived at a special trading area, where all the transactions were slave trades!

He saw many creatures confined in tightly packed cages, most of them from some peculiar-looking and weaker clans.

The faces of every enslaved being were marked with numb expressions, as if they were mere goods to be selected, pointed at, and judged by others.

Lin Xun glanced around and saw some locked-up human slaves, all with disheveled hair and tattered clothes. Most of them were in their teens, both men and women.

“Young Master, are you looking for a slave?” A weasley man in a silver robe approached Lin Xun with a smiling face.

Lin Xun could tell right away that this was a creature from the Bloodthirsty Bat Clan, and asked, “How many humans are there in the entire market?”

The silver-robed man asked, “How many do you want, Young Master?”

“All of them.”

The silver-robed man’s face brightened and he said excitedly, “Young Master, to be honest, the trade of human slaves on Jade Rainbow Island has always been controlled by our Bloodthirsty Bat Clan. What you’re seeing now is just a small fraction of what we manage.”

After a pause, he added, almost as if testing Lin Xun, “My only concern is whether you have the means to buy them all, Young Master.”

Lin Xun tossed a storage bag over at him and said, “Take this as a deposit.”

The silver-robed man’s breathing quickened. The storage bag contained one million true dragon coins—a staggering sum of money!

“Please wait a moment, Young Master. I will prepare the goods for you right away.” The silver-robed man swiftly took out a jade slip and began to get busy.

Before long, an old man in a black robe came towards them from a distance. The silver-robed man walked up to him, exchanged a few words and then took a treasure bag from the black-robed old man.

“Sir, there are three hundred and eighty-seven human slaves inside, including one hundred and thirty children under the age of ten, and the rest are all young men and women between ten and seventeen years old. In total, including the seventeen slaves in these cages, there are four hundred and four slaves.”

The silver-robed man continued quickly, “According to the current market price, these slaves are worth a total of one million, three hundred and fifty thousand true dragon coins. Sir, you only need to pay another three hundred and fifty thousand true dragon coins, and they are yours.”

“That’s not enough. Do you have more?” asked Lin Xun.

The silver-robed man was stunned. Not enough? The human race is already scarce in number, and a transaction involving more than four hundred slaves at once is already a huge deal!

After a brief thought, the silver robed man’s eyes darted around cautiously, then he gritted his teeth and whispered, “Sir, we still have a batch of black market goods on our hands. If you really want them, we’ll have to change the location of the transaction.”

The so-called black market goods were goods of illicit origin. Once exposed, it would likely bring a lot of trouble.

“Okay.” Lin Xun nodded in agreement.

Immediately, the silver-robed man led Lin Xun away from the bustling city. After weaving through numerous alleys and taking several turns, they arrived at a secluded street, pushed open the gate to a courtyard, and walked further inside.

Lin Xun noticed that the courtyard was enveloped by a restriction force that shielded it from any external detection.

Before long, a purple-robed woman was seen sitting in a hall deep in the courtyard, a sinister and malevolent light glinted in her triangular eyes.

The silver-robed man stepped forward, whispering, “Elder, this gentleman here is a big buyer...”

Upon hearing this, the purple-robed woman studied Lin Xun and said, “My friend, black market goods may scald the hand. You never know when they might bring a fatal disaster upon you. Aren’t you worried?”

Lin Xun said calmly, “I am here already, do you think I would worry about those things?”

The purple-robed woman cast another deep glance at Lin Xun, said nothing further, and flicked her sleeve.

Dozens of men and women of the human race fell to the ground with a loud thud, all bound and dishevelled.

“These are all cultivators of the human race. The weakest has a cultivation of the Heaven Ascension Stage, while the strongest are at the Supreme Saint-King Stage.” The purple-robed woman said leisurely, “The value of these slaves is far more to those little things without a cultivation foundation.”

As she spoke, she stood up and walked over to a human woman, lifted her chin, and said to Lin Xun, “Look friend, this girl is a supreme Saint-King. She’s also stunning, and most importantly, she’s a virgin.”

The woman had disheveled hair, and her body was tied up with chains inscribed with dao runes. Her snow-white skin was marred with deep whip scars.

When her head was tilted upward, a delicate face as pretty as a flower was revealed, but her complexion was pale and translucent, and her eyes were empty and lifeless, as if her soul had been stripped away.

Lin Xun’s pupils shrank when he saw the woman’s face, and a storm of emotions surged within him.

Yin Huan!

This woman was none other than Yin Huan, the saintess of Divine Apparatus Profound Sect, the stunning beauty who seemed like a companion to Ao Zhentian, a pure-blooded descendant of the True Dragon Lineage!

Back then, it was her and Ao Zhentian who had gone to the Ancient Wasteland Domain together and invited Zhao Jingxuan to go to the True Dragon World with them.

Now, she had been enslaved and fallen into the hands of the Bloodthirsty Bat Clan!

If Lin Xun hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would struggle to believe it.

Looking at her bruised and battered body and her numb and lifeless expression, an indescribable anger surged in Lin Xun’s heart.

Jingxuan left with Yin Huan back then. If Yin Huan is in such a tragic state, then...what about Jingxuan?

Did something happen to her?

The purple-robed woman didn’t notice the change in Lin Xun’s emotions at all. She couldn’t help but laugh when she saw him staring at the woman slave.

“Fellow Daoist, it seems you are very happy with this batch of black market goods. However, let me make the price clear. This woman is going to cost at least...twenty million true dragon coins. After all, she’s a supreme Saint-King. If this weren’t a black market transaction, someone would likely be willing to pay fifty million true dragon coins for her.

“Of course, if you find that too expensive, you might want to take a look at the other human slaves. For instance, those at the Heaven Ascension Stage are priced at only eight hundred thousand, those at the Cyclic Derivation Stage are one million and two hundred thousand, and those at the King Stage...”

The purple-robed woman listed the prices, while the silver-robed man beside her eagerly awaited Lin Xun, the big spender, to make his purchase...

At this moment, Lin Xun suddenly said aloud, “I’ll...take them all, do you have more?”

The purple-robed woman and the silver-robed man were both dumbstruck. Is this still not enough?!

“It seems like there’s no more.” Lin Xun glanced at them. “Then I’ll send you to death.”

The silver-robed man’s expression dramatically changed. “What do you mean?”

The moment he finished speaking, he was killed on the spot by an invisible force, his body reduced to ashes and dissipated.

Swoosh!

The purple-robed woman reacted with astonishing speed, teleporting out of the hall without hesitation.

However, in the blink of an eye, Lin Xun reached out, grabbing her neck and pulling her towards him effortlessly, like a chick in his grasp.

She shrieked in panic, “Killing is forbidden on Jade Rainbow Island! If you harm me, the Bi’an Imperial Clan will subdue you! Friend, if you want those slaves so much, I can give them, free!”
