4 Dark Market

After finishing the business with miss Mei Old magi went back to his shack to see if little Fang is leaking any more spirit energy as he is starting to think if he should put a seal on him.

going into his shack he expected to see him leaking again or just levitating or something.

but little Fang was just sleeping peacefully without anything disturbing him so he just started thinking about what to do next.

'I haven't done breathing techniques in so long, let's see if I still have it in me..' after sitting in a meditative position he started breathing in an irregular pattern and some spiritual energy started coming out from him.

While little Fangs spirit energy was pure white, Fu Hua's energy on the other hand was dark red which gave someone chills just by looking at it. the rooms temperature dropped dramatically after the spirit energy appeared and after 5-10 minutes later Hua stopped the breathing technique. 'humph look's like i'm not completely useless ..good, as expected of the prodigy of the Phoenix Slaughtering Sect' Hua said with a self mocking tone in his head.

he shot up to his feet but not after taking a last look into little Fang's eyes and snorting softly 'brat..you better appreciate what i'm doing for you' after that he went outside.

2 hours later

You could see a massive wave of people with dark robes around them and hoods to cover their faces going in and out of a door that led to a large room filled with people shouting scroll names or spirit jades trying to get new customers.

"You think am stupid? this spirit jade is only low quality and you're expecting me to pay half of my life savings for it?!" a feminine voice boomed while pointing at a man whose face is covered with a demon mask "Missus this is only natural, spirit jades have been running low in this part of the country. if you want a more fair price you can just go travel to the other side of the country" a soft but robotic voice came from the demonic mask.

no one paid attention to this as this was becoming more common in the Dark Market these days, with the spirit jade supplies becoming more rare to come by the prices of it soared as high as the sky.

"man..only if those bastards from the Cloud Raiding Sect haven't hoarded all the spirit jades to themselves this wouldn't have happened" a young voice came from this man whose robe was red contrary to all the dark robes.

"I feel you boss, spirit jades have become way more difficult to sell and even if we do sell them it will be without gaining any profit. all losses, those damned demons. they just came suddenly and started demanding all of the spirit jades to be given to them for protection or some bullshit, I can't stand them!" a burly man with a dark robe said furiously to his boss.

"I'll take 5 spirit jades all medium quality" an old raspy voice said to the man with the demonic mask, he wasn't too loud but he managed to shock everyone in the room including the boss. 'hooh we got an immortal here eh?'

The man with the demonic mask was the most shocked of them all as he knew no one was foolish enough to buy that many spirit jades and medium quality as well! but he didn't care as long as he sells something, he has a family to feed after all. he went to the back and opened up a box with care and picked up five glowing jades that could blind someone with their brightness. "Sir will that be all?" He said softly hoping for the mysterious old guy to order something even more expansive.

"Yes" after he pulled out enough gold to make everyone's eyes filled with shock he took the 5 spirit jades and left as soon he could.

"make sure to come back sir!" the guy with the demonic guy said with excitement and greed in his voice.

In a long dark corridor the old guy pulled down his hood as he inspected the spirit jades "humph, trash. in my days these wouldn't even suffice to feed the cows!" this old guy was naturally Fu Hua.

'hmm?' he looked ahead to see 2 people, one burly man and one skinny guy with red robes.

"you came here to steal my spirit jades youngin?" Hua said in a probing tone

"I wouldn't dare master immortal! I was just curious on what an immortal is doing in this lowly part of the country" the dark robed guy pulled down his hood and a handsome face emerged from it.

"humph that's none of your business youngin, now go away!" Hua said in a low threatening voice while waving his hand dismissively.

"Oi! how dare you talk to the young master like that eh?!" the burly man shouted as he was about to run to Fua to beat him up but before he could do that the handsome guy stopped him with a threatening glare

"Y-young master..are you just gonna let him go after what he said?" the burly man was confused.

"Shut up you retard! your not a match to an immortal no matter how many muscles you have!"

the burly man was confused on why the young master was so agitated. but after a while he understood because the old man has already disappeared from the corridor.

"W-what the hell!" he looked around with confusion. "I told you to keep your mouth shut you moron, that was my only chance to recruit him to the family army! we lost a precious immortal and he wasn't weak by any means either!" the young master said furiously.

In another street Hua was walking calmly to the exit of the town. "humph, the Hao family is still trying to recruit immortals even after they lost all of their army. this was what caused their demise the damned fools"
