Chapter 416 You Are a Rogue Cultivator?

Actually, the so-called black market in the field of immortal cultivation can remain only because Dragon Court turns a blind eye.

If the Dragon Court really bans it by explicit order with stringent regulations, the black market is literally a joke.

After arriving at Keli City, Gao Ge finds that there are quite some cultivators in the downtown area.

In fact, the so-called black market in the field of immortal cultivation is held every quarter.

Of course, there are black markets in many cities of Huaxia, where a lot of good things are circulated. However, they are all small-scale. Generally, cultivators don’t pay attention to them. Only the black market in the field of immortal cultivation held once half a year is the most standard one. After all, it is held by the local largest ancient martial arts family or cultivation school, which is always a sea of people. Moreover, the market is held in different places every time and it will not be held in a flagrant way. It is well known that the Dragon Court turns a blind eye to the event. In other words, given that the Dragon Court shows respect for them, they will show respect in return by pretending to cover the matter up.

This is tacit understanding between them.

It is consented by all.

Participants of the black market fair are all cultivators, which is without doubt.

However, Gao Ge arrives here. It is kind of an act of creating the effect of “darkness under lamps” for the Xiaoshan Sword Sect people.

Luckily, a lot of people are wearing masks at the black market.

At the beginning, fights often happened at the black market. Some people coveted others’ treasures but they didn’t have anything equally valuable to exchange or they don’t want to exchange with their own treasure. As a result, robberies always happened and deaths were incurred inevitably.

Therefore, an idea was put forward afterwards. That is, one can put on a mask at the black market fair so that he will not be recognized by others. After he acquires the valuable treasure, he will take off the mask in case his face is remembered. In this case, he can avoid being robbed of the valuable treasure. Then other people start to do the same. Although this method is not 100% effective, it drastically reduces the death rate of cultivators at the black market fair. Hence, the first one who put on the mask at the black market fair has made significant contribution to the black market.

It is also said that some cultivators put on masks only because they are the disciples of some old cultivation schools, who think it is a great insult on their schools if they sell their valuable treasure.

Or some people’s treasures are acquired in a dirty way.

All in all, there are various sayings.

This offers convenience for Gao Ge.

As long as he puts on a mask and wanders around the black market, he is sure that the Xiaoshan Sword Sect disciples can’t have X-ray vision to see through the mask.

This seemingly most dangerous place is in fact the safest place for him.

This is also the advice that Master Guanshan gave Gao Ge before leaving.

Therefore, people must live longer.

As long as one lives long enough, he can think of anything.

However, for Gao Ge, he cannot think of that though he is aware of the black market. Most importantly, he knows nothing about the mask thing at the black market. After all, he knew about the black market in the previous life, but he never came here.

When he reaches Keli City, Gao Ge stops the car and then buys a mask at the roadside.

It is a Doraemon mask.

This is one of the favorite anime of Gao Ge when he was a child.

Doraemon is translated into “Duo la A meng (transliteration of Doraemon)”, “Xiao ding dang (lit. means Tinker Bell) or “Lan pang zi (lit. means Blue Fatty)”. When he was a child, he admired Nobita most, one of the characters in the anime. It is not because Nobita has a Doraemon but because he has Shizuka dressed in skirt every day.

Well.

How thrilling!

The black market is held in Keli City. Yet, it is in an affiliated village instead of the downtown area.

Gao Ge has put on a mask before he left for the village by car. Somehow, he feels safe in this way.

On the way to the village, Gao Ge has seen a lot of cultivators.

The more he approaches the village, the joltier the road becomes. Even several roads are unsurfaced. Gao Ge doesn’t know that the village called Shantang is nearly an abandoned place until he arrives at the destination. It is not a completely abandoned village because there are still a few empty-nest elderly people left behind in this place. There used to be real estate developers who wanted to build up a mixing factory here. However, due to the serious pollution problem, the construction has not been approved. In particular, over the recent years, the government attaches great importance to pollution issue.

And some orchard workers want to grow some fruit trees here but the roads of the village are not paved, resulting in inconvenient transportation. Hence, the idea of growing fruit trees cannot work either.

It also leads to fewer and fewer people staying in the village. Hence, the village is very suitable to hold the black market fair.

In the village there are a lot of houses available.

After parking the car, Gao Ge finds that quite some people have put on the masks.

He finds a house and rents one of the rooms at the cost of 3,000 per day, but the room is rather shabby. He has to prepare three meals for himself. The toilet is a latrine simply built up at the corner of the yard. Every day only several bottles of boiled water are served. Undoubtedly, the accommodation condition is very poor.

However, since they are here, they will not ask for too much.

There are four rooms in the house. Gao Ge’s room is the smallest, which is the closest to the toilet.

Yet, it is not because Gao Ge doesn’t want to spend money but because he arrives too late. Almost all the rooms are rented out and the unrented ones are not cleaned.

Although the rooms are cleaned and the quilts are all new, Gao Ge still does some cleaning. The room is not paved with floors or cement. The ground is simply unsurfaced and bumpy, so it gets dusty easily. After sweeping the ground, Gao Ge pours a pot of water on it. Then he finally lies in bed and lights up a cigarette for himself.

Right at the moment, someone knocks on the door. A man dressed in black gown passes a small wooden plate.

“This is a pass to the black market fair. You need this to go there without hindrance. Besides, you must register by providing your name, cultivation school or family.”

“I am a rogue cultivator.” Gao Ge says smilingly.

“Rogue cultivator?” The man is surprised, “Can a rogue cultivator have good stuff? Haha, are you here only to join in the fun?”

Rogue cultivators are usually not well received at the black market fair. Although there are a lot of rogue cultivators in Huaxia, they are not well off without the support of their families or cultivation schools. Moreover, their cultivation level is not high. People come to the fair to exchange things. The currency in circulation is not money but spiritual stone and spiritual jade. These are not easily obtained for rogue cultivators.

While the man is talking, Gao Ge passes him a spiritual jade.

“Thank you, sir.”

The man is a bit surprised. With a cough, he puts the spiritual jade into his pocket and then gives the wooden plate to Gao Ge.

“Don’t make any trouble here. Yet, you are quite smart. I am quite assured.” Although Gao Ge is wearing a mask, the man can recognize that he is a young man according to his voice.

Unexpectedly, a young rogue cultivator can be so generous.

Things are changed as time passes!
