Blood-Condensed Nine Swords

Zhang Ruochen was definitely interested in Half-Saint's Essence.
Only internal students of the School of the Martial Market could gain the Half-Saint's Essence. They did this by exchanging their merits.
Even if external students obtained merits, they were not allowed to exchange it for the Half-Saint's Essence. They could only receive it when the School distributed it quarterly every year.
If the external students were eager to get the Half-Saint's Essence, they had to spend plenty of silver coins and buy it from the black market.
The Black Market was absolutely dangerous. If the external students didn't know the right person to lead the way, there was a high possibility that they could be ripped off by vicious people and lose both the money and their lives.
However, Zi Qian was an exception as she was a black market assassin. There was no one better than her to buy the Half-Saint's Essence on the black market.
