Chapter 134: Conflicting Schools
"Let's go, this old man is anxious to exchange some good food for my babies. The food in the river is not enough to eat, and we can't eat people. Let's see if there's anything good here.
The red-nosed old fogey said something that made one's hair stand on end as he swayed towards the entrance while drinking.
Unfortunately, there were almost no ordinary people here.
And just now in the carriage, everyone talked with each other, and some basic information was also known.
The last wave of extraordinaires came from three different cities, namely, Moses City, Marston City, and Blue Deer City.
Tang Qi guessed that the people in the market who had already commenced the trade fair were all in similar situations.
The main group of people in this market, perhaps centered on "Moses City" as the core, sent a large number of extraordinary birds to at least four or five cities and some areas around them and distributed extraordinary seals in a net-like manner.
Then, the qualification test was carried out.
Now that the last wave of verification was over, and a market's prototype was also faintly born.
It was still unknown whether this market was the first one that the mysterious organization had initiated.
Or at the same time, similar markets were established in other regions of the Federation.
Of course, these had nothing to do with him. He just came to sound out the path.
He walked to the entrance with everyone.
The black tree stump-like shadow was a shadow soldier wearing a black iron mask. The stone cylinder in front of him was full of red liquid.
However, the texture was not like blood at all, but a state similar to when a candle melts.
On the other side, there was a stone tablet.
It was engraved with rules, which were the market rules.
The first one was to renew the seal, pay a divine grace gold coin, put the seal in the liquid, and soak it in for a second. After that, the seal could be stamped three times, and only after the seal is stamped can they enter the market. The stamped seal could also stimulate a fog to cover oneself.
According to the subsequent rules, vendors could set up stalls arbitrarily in the market, make trading deals on their own, or go to the contract house for agreement notarization. No fights were allowed in the market for any reason, the violators would be expelled, and if they caused any damages, they would be chased by the organization.
Currently, there are three official services in the market, which are in the information log cabin, the identification log cabin, and the contract log cabin.
The market was held every three days, but the possibility of a temporary market was not ruled out.
For those who entered the market for the first time, follow the same method later.
For instance, Tang Qi and the others came in a "ghost carriage" presumably from behind the manor.
After reading the rules one by one, it was Tang Qi's turn.
Clank!
A gold coin was thrown and fell directly into the cylinder beside the shadow soldier.
A crisp sound rang out. Tang Qi had immersed the seal in the liquid. He had already carefully examined it before. The information fragments attached to it wrote, "this is a pot of magical red stamp ink.
A second later, Tang Qi picked up the seal and examined it carefully. The information fragments above it really changed.
[Mystical Object: Mysterious Seal. ]
[State: Consumed. ]
[Information Fragment: With this seal, you have the right to enter the extraordinary market three times, and you can use your mental power to simulate the fog in the seal and conceal your appearance. ]
After reading, Tang Qi didn't hesitate, just like the others.
He placed the renewed seal directly on the back of his hand, and a circular symbol appeared, showing two messy black lines, winding and twisting, and finally, their heads and tails joined. They were unexpectedly harmonious.
Tang Qi felt that as long as he used his mental sense, a cloud of mist would be triggered from the symbol and envelope himself.
Although this was the "second body", it was never too much to stay concealed.
Therefore, as soon as he stepped into the valley, Tang Qi's mental sense touched the symbol, and a white mist spread out immediately, and then wrapped around Tang Qi's whole figure.
What was amazing was that the mist seemed to only block the sight of others, but not himself.
Most of the people in the market did so.
Therefore, the scene looked a little weird, perfectly in line with this strange valley and the strange market, as if a group of ghosts was gathering.
Standing at the entrance, there was a trace of expectation and excitement in his eyes, but he concealed it well.
He walked in a strange valley like a ghost, and soon he selected the first stall.
It was a black tree that seemed withered. Under the tree, there was a mass of mist permeating the air, and an unfolded piece of cloth could be faintly seen. There were many things on it.
Swoosh!
As Tang Qi walked into the fog, the things on the cloth appeared vividly, but he still couldn't clearly see the face of the stall owner who was sitting cross-legged at the root of the tree two steps away.
This kind of situation makes people have the urge to run after grabbing something.
However, he believed that no fool would do this. Since the initiators of the market dared to provide venues and dared to write down clear rules, once there is a violator, I am afraid that the guards would immediately protect the victim and kill the person who violated the rules on the spot.
Of course, he didn't plan to do that. Compared with these barbaric means, his special ability is what makes him really look forward to the extraordinary market.
He focused his gaze on the stall seriously.
Originally, he thought that he'd find nothing good at the first stall he randomly picked.
But at this moment, Tang Qi's eyes were filled with faint light.
Although it was by no means very dense, it was undoubtedly real. What he could see were all mystical objects.
To be precise, it was an extraordinary material.
Most of them were queer-looking herbs, and some were extremely disgusting, such as bloody eyeballs, indescribable organs of certain beasts, dry blood, complete internal organs… Each of them was disgusting, but they were all extraordinary materials.
Tang Qi randomly looked at one of them, which was a surprisingly big eyeball.
It seemed fresh and recently dug out of an eye socket. A rich smell of blood penetrated his nose, and faint specks of light gathered and formed an image.
[Mystical Object: The Eyes of the Shining Monkey. ]
[Status: incomplete. ]
[Information Fragment One: The eyeball of a Shining Monkey, contains a trace of extraordinary power, which can be used as some secret medicine materials, and can also be taken directly to obtain power. ]
[Information Fragment 2: Since the other one is missing, the person who takes it directly will most likely die. Adding another eyeball can increase the success rate by one-tenth. ]
Tang Qi glanced at the eyeball, and then quickly looked at the other materials.
Without exception, although they were all some kind of extraordinary materials, each one had serious side effects and one would end up with an incomparably miserable result if taken directly.
This booth should be the place where many people had been killed as those people had mentioned before.
However, those who died were all just ordinary people who were courting death. True extraordinaires would never directly take the materials unless they had no choice.
In fact, even with secret medicine.
If there was no definite identification, normal extraordinaires would not consume them rashly.
After all, not everyone, like Tang Qi, comes with a cheat-like special ability.
The materials presented by this stall owner were like roads that lead to ruin for ordinary people, but for a secret pharmacist, they were full of temptations.
However, as Tang Qi identified the materials and compared them with the knowledge in his mind, he was disappointed to find that the entire booth was full of extraordinary materials that he sadly couldn't use.
"What bad luck! The two schools conflict with each other?"
Tang Qi glanced at the stall owner who was still shrouded in mist without saying a word and felt a little depressed.
