Chapter 194
“All you do is eat and sleep every day; are you a pig?” Mo Jun looked at Wa Zhen with disdain.
“What do you know?
I’m cultivating my body and nourishing my stomach!” Wa Zhen replied lazily.
Mo Jun gave him a disdainful glance before turning away to let the kitchen prepare a meal for this ‘pig.’ Watching Mo Jun’s disappearing figure, Wa Zhen’s eyes drooped as he said inwardly, “If it can make you fully recover, even if I turned into a pig, it would be worth it!”
Mo Jiuli and Guyan returned to the Inn, each going to their own Room to rest and prepare to visit the so-called Underground Market together at night.
They both were quite curious about the renowned Hanlin City Underground Trading Venue…
Dusk arrived.
The already bustling Hanlin City during the daytime seemed even livelier tonight, with pedestrians rushing through the Streets, all heading in one direction…
That place was the largest Underground Market at the heart of Hanlin City!
The location of the Underground Market was a two-story building that occupied about one hundred acres.
It looked very simple and elegant…
A plaque with black background and gold characters hung atop the building, with “Underground Market” inscribed in a majestic Dragon and Phoenix script.
Mo Jiuli raised her eyebrows slightly as she observed the edifice, thinking to herself that this force seemed very low-key, which was her first impression of the Underground Market…
Following the crowd inside, they soon discovered that it indeed was an Underground Market, as there appeared a slide in front of everyone who walked through the main entrance, similar to the sightseeing elevators common in her past life…
Everyone was very conscientious, and the Market could admit a hundred people at a time.
There were four people from the Underground Market responsible for escorting the Guests…
Because the slide’s speed was quite fast, there was no queuing despite the large number of people.
The slide would be activated as soon as enough people gathered for it, usually a few dozen…
Mo Jiuli was followed by about a dozen people and had a few behind her.
Therefore, right after they arrived, they were immediately admitted to the Market without any wait…
As Mo Jiuli entered the opaque slide, made from Dark Iron refinement and subtly activated her Divine Sense, she quickly discerned the mechanism—it seemed to be an Artifact refiner’s creation of an elevator Cabin, then using several chains and pulleys for movement.
If she wasn’t mistaken…
They reached the bottom in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
Stepping out, they found themselves in a wide Corridor, and after walking about twenty meters, they came upon a pitch-dark gate…
Two Counters stood at each side of the door, manned by two middle-aged men in black clothes.
Standing next to and behind each of these middle-aged men were several old men in black outfits…
Furthermore, before even entering, Mo Jiuli felt several powerful Spiritual Forces sweep over them.
Some nearby people didn’t notice at all, others who did simply paused briefly, allowing the others’ Divine Senses to scan them…
Mo Jiuli naturally pretended not to notice, and since the Divine Sense only swept over them briefly, such behavior, though impolite, was not unreasonable for a place like the Underground Trading Market where various types of people mingled…
Mo Jiuli didn’t find anything objectionable.
Each person entering, those with posts handed them over directly, and those without registered and received a transaction card…
When Mo Jiuli and Guyan approached, they took out the two posts Mo Jun had given them.
One of the middle-aged men, upon seeing them, paused briefly before his gaze toward Mo Jiuli and Guyan shifted as he said, “Welcome to you both.
Please allow Elder Shen to show you the way!”
