The entire gambling venue had a total of three floors. There was no difference between the three floors, and the gambling cards were all randomly scattered around.
Lin Xuan followed the faint sense of the magic calling him and reached the counter on the second floor by the window. At this moment, three people were holding magnifying glasses and carefully looking at the patterns on the gambling cards. Then, they took out a booklet and carefully recorded their observations.
When the three of them heard the footsteps, they naturally raised their heads to take a look. When they realized that it was only a teenager, they immediately lost the mood to observe further. They shook their heads and put down the gambling cards in their hands, preparing to go to the other counters to take a look.
They were not serious gamblers. Instead, they were gamblers who specialized in card gambling. Their biggest dream was to create a special profession — Celestial Master Card. The booklet they wrote in was the secret cultivation manual of a Celestial Master Card.
Lin Xuan did not talk to them. Instead, he walked forward and picked up the card that one of the man had carefully studied. As expected, the magic patterns on his body gave him an inexplicable sense of joy.
Was this the root of his magic patterns?
There were some indistinct withered leaves on a withered yellow branch. As for the others, they were not displayed at all. Just by looking at the patterns on it. It did not seem like much, yet it exuded heaven rank energy.
Without further hesitation, Lin Xuan took this gambling card and went to look for the organizers of this gambling event. He got them to unlock the cards and complete this gambling card purchase.
“Would you like the share your purchase?”
The happiest thing for the people here was to see what other people have purchased. Regardless of whether the card was his or not, he would cheered or sigh whenever someone opened a card. It didn’t matter if he was involved or not, it was more important to join in the fun.
Lin Xuan frowned. To be honest, the gambling card in his hand was something magically to him, so he was hesitant to reveal it. The person in charge in front of him seemed to have seen through Lin Xuan’s dilemma and took out a set of elixirs.
“As the first guest of our Imperial City’s black market branch, if you are willing to open a card here, this yin-yang fruit will be given to you as a gift!”
Yin-yang fruit is an extraordinary elixirs. It had a considerable reconciliation effect between the physical body and the soul. It can adjust the compatibility between the physical body and the soul when Lin Xuan makes his next breakthrough.
“I don’t like spirit herbs, but be more than willing to share with everyone!”
Lin Xuan took out his gambling card and activated it The fog on the gambling card gradually dissipated, revealing its original appearance, level, and description.
[Card: Mulberry Branch]
[Type: Magic]
[Level: Special]
[Description: A special type of magic pattern. It can be combined with the magic patterns of the flame and light elements. It can nurture magic patterns and make it stronger!]
A special magic pattern card that can grow double-elemental magic patterns?!
This was definitely a big deal. The cost of this card was only one million, but some people might be willing to pay more for it.
The eyes of the person that spoke lit up, and he immediately pulled Lin Xuan aside. “Sir, may I know if you are willing to sell this card. We will definitely offer you a price that you will be satisfied with!”
Putting aside the value of this magic pattern card, just the high-value card offered by the first customer alone was already a great gimmick. If he could leave this card in the shop to promote it, it would probably have a terrifying diversion effect.
Lin Xuan thought for two seconds and shook his head firmly. Although he was very interested in the high price offered by the person in charge, the special magic pattern had something to do with his own growth.
Seeing this, the person-in-charge sighed and did not insist anymore. However, he strongly requested to leave a photo as being the first to open such a rare card. As a reward, Lin Xuan could choose a million-dollar spirit plant potion in the shop.
After taking the card and taking the photo at the entrance of the shop, Lin Xuan disappeared into the crowd in a flash and got rid of the crowd that wanted to come up and talk to see if they could buy the card.
Most of the people on the street were in the same shape. They were covered in a layer of black fog. Therefore, Lin Xuan meshed himself into the crowd and followed the others to search for more cards.
After gaining something from the gambling card market, Lin Xuan’s interest was immediately piqued. He went shopping elsewhere to see if he could sense anything with his other abilities.
Unfortunately, he went through the entire Southern District but did not find anything. Instead, he walked to the Central District.
The Central District was the core of the black market and was also the administrative department of the black market. This was no longer a place to buy and sell goods. It ranged from teaching someone a lesson to hunting down a group of wild monsters, it could also be a request to buy some skill cards and so on.
Because it was a legal black market, there would not be any criminal missions such as killing and robbing.
Lin Xuan had unknowingly walked here. Around him was the mission list that gets refreshed in real time. At every moment, a large number of missions would be completed or released. Many people were raising their heads and quickly memorizing the information on it, some of them were information hunters. They did not go out on missions and only gave the most suitable missions to the teams that cooperated with them.
He Shan was a newbie who had just entered this industry. Although he had a good information collation method, he did not have the connections to share it to. At the moment, he could only collate a large amount of mission information, at the same time, he paid attention to whether any newbies came to the black market mission hall so that he could build his foundation.
When Lin Xuan walked in, he revealed a sense of novelty. He was immediately noticed by He Shan and walked up with a smile on his face. The rest of the information hunters could only return resentfully, they secretly hated themselves for walking too slowly.
“Hello, my name is He Shan and I am a black market information hunter. Is this your first time coming to the mission hall?”
Although it was a question, it was a positive tone.
“Yes, it’s my first time here. There are many missions here. Are the missions on the four lists the same?”
Lin Xuan was a little curious. The missions on the four lists kept refreshing itself. He couldn’t even see them.
“It’s not the same. The East deals with wild monster missions. The South deals with spirit plants and potions. The West deals with weapons. The North deals with cultivation resources. It mainly deals with three treasure cards, magic pattern cards, skill cards and other cultivation cards.”
He Shan gave a simple explanation to Lin Xuan. Then, he asked, “May I know what kind of mission you wish to accept?”
“Accept a mission? No, I want to issue a mission!”
Lin Xuan also had some thoughts after coming to the black market. When he walked into the black market’s mission hall, he found that there were many missions to capture wild monsters alive. He was immediately inspired, perhaps he did not need to take the risk to face a mystic rank wild monster directly when he broke through his talent specialty!
Using his cash ability to issue missions directly, he could let people capture a few wild monsters and beat them half to death before sending them his way!
Moreover, according to He Shan’s understanding, it was not too expensive to capture a few wild monsters alive for killing. Even a mystic rank wild monster would only cost around three to four million!
Lin Xuan had enough money on hand to try it out.
