Chapter 110: Obtaining the Soul Hunting Token
Soon, Shi Lin and his group arrived at the backyard of the shop.
The shop's backyard is quite spacious, consisting of an open area enclosed by a main building and two side rooms.
The shopkeeper pushed open the door to the east wing.
The door led not to a room, but to a dark, narrow staircase leading downwards.
This looks like the entrance to the black market.
"Once you've changed your clothes, you may leave on your own." The shopkeeper clasped his hands in a fist salute to Shi Lin, then turned and left.
Clean and efficient, without any delays.
"Let's go change our clothes." Shi Lin took out several black robes and masks from his soul tool and distributed them to the people in front of him.
After donning black robes and masks, the group checked each other to make sure there were no problems before entering the room and descending the stairs.
The space inside the hidden door was spacious enough for three people to walk side by side, but the light was dim, with only the yellowish light from the walls, barely enough to make out the stairs.
As Shi Lin continued to descend, he heard the sounds of people coming and going and talking in the black market.
Since the black market is underground, there are no shouts or calls like those on the street.
Soon the group reached the end of the stairs. Shi Lin suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked intently at the people behind him.
"We're about to enter the black market. Remember what I told you before. If you get lost, immediately return to the entrance and keep this in your pocket. I will find you." Shi Lin took out several porcelain bottles containing the Gu worms he had contracted.
Therefore, if these people were lost, Shi Lin could still locate them through the Gu worms in the contract.
Shi An and his group nodded and then entered the black market. Compared to the outside, the black market was narrower, with only two streets, each only a hundred meters long.
At this time, people dressed in black were squatting on the ground on both sides of the black market street, setting up stalls filled with all sorts of things.
Although there were sounds throughout the black market, it still gave off an eerie atmosphere.
Shi Lin and his friends walked along the street, stopping and starting as they went, curious about everything around them.
As Shi Lin ventured deeper into the area, he discovered it was filled with stolen goods.
But that makes sense, since the black market is a lawless place and a place to sell stolen goods. Of course, you can buy things there for much cheaper prices.
Just as Shi Lin was looking at the soul tool on the ground, Shi An suddenly patted Shi Lin's arm.
Shi Lin paused for a moment, then looked at Shi An with a puzzled expression.
Shi An pointed to a street stall.
There were actually more than a dozen Soul Hunting Tokens on the street stall!
This must be where Soul Hunting Tokens are sold.
"It's truly a case of finding something you've been searching for without even looking for it, only to have it come to you effortlessly." Shi Lin's eyes lit up, then he tightened his black robe, beckoned to the people beside him, and walked towards the stall filled with Soul Hunting Tokens.
They arrived at this stall.
Shi Lin squatted down, picked up a Soul Hunting Token, examined it carefully, and nodded after confirming that it was genuine.
"Boss, how much is the Soul Hunting Token?" Shi Lin asked the stall owner.
"No bargaining, three thousand gold soul coins per piece." The stall owner looked up, wearing a white mask, and said to Shi Lin in a hoarse voice.
"I'd like to buy some information on the distribution of soul beasts. Do you have any?" Shi Lin took out a gold soul coin and placed it on the stall.
"One hundred gold soul coins for information from three months ago," the stall owner said, holding up three fingers to Shi Lin.
"One Soul Hunting Token, plus a document," Shi Lin said with a smile, then squatted down and slowly extended his hand.
The stall owner also glanced at Shi Lin curiously, and then extended his hand.
As the two men's hands touched, a bag of gold soul coins was transferred from Shi Lin's soul tool to the stall owner's soul tool.
"These are all Soul Hunting Tokens from the three upper sects. Take your pick." After counting the gold soul coins and finding no issues, the stall owner pointed to the Soul Hunting Tokens on the stall and said to Shi Lin.
Shi Lin nodded, then took a Soul Hunting Token issued by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Last time, Shi Lin used the Soul Hunting Token issued by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, so he bought a Soul Hunting Token issued by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect this time.
Then, the stall owner took out a thick notebook and handed it to Shi Lin.
Shi Lin took it and examined it. The records contained the distribution of all the soul beasts in the Soul Hunting Forests throughout the entire Heaven Dou Empire, and the records were very detailed.
Now that Shi Lin had gotten what he wanted, he nodded, stood up, and left the stall.
To put it bluntly, there are no good people in the black market, and Shi Lin doesn't want to mess with these people.
After leaving the stall selling Soul Hunting Tokens, the group continued browsing.
Suddenly, in front of a stall, Oscar grabbed Shi Lin's sleeve.
"Brother Lin, there are cultivation manuals for food-type Soul Masters over there..." Oscar whispered to Shi Lin.
Oscar, a grown man, suddenly became coy.
It seems that Oscar was a little embarrassed to ask for the things, and Oscar also knew that the cultivation manual was very expensive.
"Did you ask the price?" Shi Lin patted Oscar on the shoulder, indicating that Oscar shouldn't be nervous, and then asked Oscar.
Oscar shook his head, indicating that he didn't have any. He probably thought the Soul Master's Handbook was too expensive, so he didn't dare to ask the price.
Shi Lin nodded. He still had fifty or sixty thousand gold soul coins in his hand, so he was quite wealthy. He then took Oscar directly to the stall that Oscar had mentioned earlier.
Shi Lin also saw the Soul Master's Notebook that Oscar mentioned. It was a very thick notebook with the words "Food Type" written on it.
Shi Lin walked up to the stall and pointed to the Soul Master's Notebook on it.
"Boss, how much is this?" Shi Lin asked the stall owner in a low voice.
"Three hundred gold soul coins!" The stall owner held up three fingers to Shi Lin.
Shi Lin didn't haggle. He simply took out a money bag and threw it to the stall owner. Now that he was rich and powerful, he could spend money as he pleased without being stingy.
"Thank you." The stall owner took the money bag, weighed it in his hand, nodded in satisfaction, picked up the notebook, and tossed it to Shi Lin.
Shi Lin then tossed the Soul Master's Handbook to Oscar.
Oscar was so moved he couldn't speak. He simply tucked the cultivation manual into his bosom. No one had ever been so kind to him since he was a child.
Shi Lin looked at Oscar and shook his head with a smile.
Just as Shi Lin and his group were about to leave the stall, Shi Lin suddenly noticed that there were several broken soul tools on the stall.
