Chapter 57: The Poison Delivered to Your Door
Xue Mei looked at the young man who made other alchemists around him pale in comparison, and her eyes seemed to be full of stars.

She vaguely understood that she had accidentally met a real big shot who would shock the Douqi Continent in the future.

Perhaps the other party would reach a height that she herself dared not even imagine. Xue Mei's cheeks flushed as she was daydreaming.

She glanced at her best friend Ruifei again. This damn girl was actually looking at Gu Fengchen with hope. Humph, you dare to steal my man? Bah!
Although we are separated now and I don’t know if I will see him again in the future, according to the development of romance novels, since the heroine and the hero have already formed a bond, they will definitely meet again in the future.

"Oh, Xue Mei, I thought it was amazing that we could become a first-class alchemist in two years. As a result, wow, wow, wow, we have the same teacher, how come there is such a big gap..." Rui Fei did not miss any opportunity to attack Xue Mei. Although she was also hit hard, after all, Xue Mei and Gu Feng were taught by the same teacher, so the gap was even more obvious.

At this time, Rui Fei suddenly whispered: "By the way, Xue Mei, didn't you say that no one in the younger generation of Black Rock City could surpass you? Now that someone has appeared, you said that if someone is better than you, you will..."

"Go to hell, he is not from our Black Rock City, so this doesn't count!" Although Xue Mei said this, there was a charming blush on her face.

Although it was indeed a joke with Ruifei at the beginning, the talent and aptitude displayed by the boy really made the girl's heart move.

"Oh, you don't want to forget about it now?" Rui Fei raised his eyebrows and continued to fan the flames, "How about I go and talk to Gu Feng and see if he likes you!"

"Rui Fei, you're going too far!"

At this moment, the two girls were unable to convince each other and started fighting in the hall of the Alchemist Guild.

Just as the two girls were making a fuss, a light cough sounded behind them, "Can you two be quiet for a while? It's not decent to be here without concentrating on refining medicine every day. Can you learn from the ancient customs?"

Master Otto looked at the two women. The two women felt a little embarrassed and stopped fighting. However, their eyes turned towards Gu Fengchen with quite resentment.

Gu Fengchen: "Can I also be blamed?"

After leaving the Alchemist Guild, Gu Fengchen slowly exhaled and said to Frank, "Teacher, I am leaving soon. I have one more favor to ask of you."

"Hahaha, kid, you've made me proud this time. No, you've made our Black Rock City Guild proud. Tell me what it is. I'll definitely satisfy you." Frank patted Gu Fengchen's shoulder with great satisfaction.

"I want to find a black market."

After a year of accumulation, including asking Miter Auction House to help with the auction and helping to solve some difficult problems, Gu Fengchen has accumulated a total of 20 gold coins.

Of course, if the alchemist’s own expenses were not so high, Gu Fengchen’s current wealth would probably be around five hundred thousand.

You know, although Dan King Gu He is talented, he had a mediocre background at the beginning.

He was noticed by the Yunlan Sect after he became a fourth-grade alchemist. It was different to be strongly supported by a big sect.

The Yunlan Sect provided him with resources continuously, and Gu He saved the time of running around looking for medicinal materials, and he also achieved the famous title of Alchemy King.

But Gu Fengchen was not envious. To him, resources were something that could be acquired slowly.

Now that he has money, of course he wants to spend it.

Now he won't come to Black Rock City often in the future, so he wants to see if he can find some good stuff before leaving, and by the way, buy some strong poison for Little Medical Fairy.

"Well, you can find a man called Daoye. He runs a black market, and maybe there's something you want there." Frank did not disappoint Gu Fengchen. He has lived in Black Rock City for so many years, and he is indeed a local tyrant, knowing a lot.

Trader?

The name sounds impressive.

Gu Fengchen asked, "Hiss, what's the trick of this trader?"

"This dealer is said to be a great fighter. The black market he runs is the largest black goods sales point within a radius of dozens of miles. It is also the largest intelligence distribution center and black market. There are all kinds of people here, and it is said that the Mo family is backing him up, so basically no one dares to cause trouble in his black market."

Mohist family?

Gu Fengchen frowned. Could this Mohist be the one who transplanted Warcraft organs into humans?

It is very likely that apart from the very famous Mohist school in the Douqi Continent, Gu Fengchen has never heard of any other school.

At this time, Frank continued, "Although this trader is moody, he is very trustworthy. If you want to do business with him, you can rest assured. As for the location, I can tell you."

"By the way, when you go out in the future, you don't need to say that you are my apprentice." Frank suddenly changed the subject.

Gu Fengchen was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion: "You accepted me as your disciple, why don't you want people to know that you are my master?"

Frank stroked his white beard and grinned, "If everyone knows that you are my apprentice, do you think anyone will accept you as an apprentice?" Seeing that Gu Fengchen was still puzzled, Frank smiled and said, "Boy, life is still a long way to go. In the future, if you take one more person as your master, you can get one more resource! Use double the resources for cultivation. Alchemists' resources are already scarce. I don't need to teach you this, right?"

What the hell!

That makes sense!

Is this teaching me how to exploit bugs?
Is this what they call borrowing chickens to lay eggs?

"The title of teacher is just a title. You just need to remember the favor."

"Well, thank you teacher for this period of time."

Frank told Gu Fengchen the location of the black market. Gu Fengchen then said goodbye to Frank formally and left the Alchemist Guild.

He changed his appearance with the ice silkworm skin and walked towards the place Frank told him.

Gu Fengchen decided to try his luck, maybe he could find some good ingredients for the Taotie Seal.

Soon, Gu Fengchen came to a dilapidated iron gate, and he walked up and knocked.

With a click, a small window on the iron door was opened, and a thin man looked up and down at Gu Fengchen, frowned and asked: "Who are you?"

Gu Fengchen scratched his head and said, "I'm here to buy something. The black market is inside, right?"

"So you're here for the black market. Come with me."

Soon, Gu Fengchen entered the black market under the guidance of the thin man.

There were a lot of people inside, and there were people guarding in groups of three or four along the way. Those men were drinking wine under the dim light, drinking a bottle of Niulanshan Erguotou in two or three gulps, holding a handful of fried peanuts in their hands and looking Gu Fengchen up and down.

Entering the innermost part, it is a busy market like a vegetable market, but the stalls don't display vegetables, but all kinds of items, from antiques to daily necessities, from magic cores to monster flesh and blood, as well as various martial arts scrolls, weapons and equipment, everything you can think of.

Gu Fengchen strolled around the black market; he was not in a hurry anyway.

There are many crystal cabinets here, and in the crystal cabinets, there are some jade boxes. In the jade boxes, there is a faint gleam of light. At a glance, you can tell that they are not ordinary things.

There are indeed many antiques in here that look very ancient, but the problem is that the antiques in this world are not valuable. Only the relics of powerful practitioners are valuable.

After a stroll around, I really didn't find anything valuable. They were basically all junk. Some of them had strong historical traces, but they were all ordinary antiques with no practical significance.

Fortunately, the black market was not full of garbage. Gu Fengchen did come across some rare medicinal materials that would definitely make many alchemists jealous in the outside world. He picked and chose and bought some. When he had only ten thousand gold coins left in his pocket, an old voice sounded from behind him, "Little brother, are you an alchemist?"

Gu Fengchen was stunned for a moment, and looked back warily, only to see a middle-aged man with a solemn and unsmiling expression standing behind him.

"Don't be nervous," the middle-aged man smiled implicitly, "I am from the Nalan family, Nalan Su."

Nalan Su from the Nalan family?

Fighting against the strong?
Gu Fengchen didn't expect that he would run into Nalan Su when he just casually visited the black market?

He did not suspect that the other party was lying, because he saw how awe-filled the eyes of the stall owners around him were when they looked at Nalan Su. It was obvious that this guy came here often.

Nalan Yanran’s father Nalan Su?

It was such a coincidence that they met here. However, he needed the Seven Illusions Green Spirit Saliva recently, and wondered if that old guy Nalan Jie had been poisoned now.

Moreover, Gu Fengchen felt that he might not even need the strange fire to expel the poison. He could just use the Taotie Seal to devour the poison!

Gu Fengchen took a deep breath and returned the greeting calmly, "So it's Patriarch Nalan. I've heard a lot about you. What can I do for you, Patriarch Nalan?"

"Are you a third-grade alchemist?" Nalan Su had a bright smile on his face.

Gu Fengchen noticed from the other party's gaze that he had actually kept the third-grade alchemist badge hanging on his chest and forgot to take it off. No wonder the other party could reveal his identity as an alchemist in just one sentence.

Gu Fengchen thought about it and nodded, "Yes."

"Hiss, to be honest, our Nalan family is looking for an alchemist recently because our old man fought with a fifth-level extremely poisonous beast, the Branding Poison Python, a few days ago! Although my father finally killed it, he was unfortunately injected with a terrifying toxin, the Branding Poison, by the latter. Now he is critically ill, and even the Alchemy King Gu He can't do anything about it."
