The driver paused holding the steering wheel and looked up at the girl in the back seat.

She looks quite well behaved, why would she go to that kind of place?

After thinking for two seconds, he asked, "Girl, are you sure you want to go there?"

The underground market on North Street is a chaotic place, with a mixed crowd and many types of transactions.

The driver didn't know the exact location because he had never been there.

Chu Peining nodded.

"Little girl, just go over and take a look and join in the fun, but don't go inside."

The other party was firm in his attitude. Thinking that the situation was not so chaotic during the day, the driver gave him a few words of advice and drove on.

"You're a girl, and if you go too deep, it's easy to get into trouble."

Chu Peining knew it clearly.

The underground market was a place that some thugs in the school told her about. That was where Wang You's deal to hire someone to kill was taking place.

It is a place that none of the four powerful families can control. I heard that the boss behind it is very powerful and no one in the entire Haicheng can match it.

Even after scanning the code to get off the car, the driver was still worried and reminded me again and again.

Chu Peining responded perfunctorily and walked over.

There were four big words "Underground Market" hanging on the door. Chu Peining narrowed her eyes when she accidentally glanced at the sign in the lower right corner.

The logo was in the shape of a ring, with complicated and intricate patterns. Others might find it nonsensical, but she felt very familiar with it.

Chu Peining's eyes fixed for a moment, then he put on a mask and walked in.

Having “died” once, she has paid for what she owes, and this matter has nothing to do with her anymore.

There are all kinds of shops on both sides, with both Chinese and Western styles, and the roads are crisscrossed and interconnected, so it is easy to get lost if you are not careful.

Chu Peining fixed her eyes for a moment and looked towards the Chinese-style shops, most of which sold antique jade artifacts.

There are no more than three families with floating spiritual energy, and they are still very weak.

She has been eroded by evil spirits for a long time, and ordinary jade has little effect. It requires spiritual stones containing spiritual power to remove it.

Unfortunately, with the development of technology, the spiritual energy in the air is becoming thinner and thinner.

The spiritual stones nowadays are estimated to be hundreds of years old, and most of them are burial objects. Given her condition, it is better not to touch them.

Chu Peining pressed his eyebrows.

Her strength has not yet recovered and the distance she can detect is limited. She has to continue going inside to see if she can find the spirit stone.

The girl looked around casually, and in more than ten minutes she had observed hundreds of vendors, but none of them had what she wanted.

Half an hour later, the fluctuation of spiritual energy was detected in the inner area.

She went forward and found that, unlike the vendors outside, there was a shop with a larger area and a packed crowd of people.

Chu Peining squeezed in with the advantage of her petite stature. Inside were precious items such as jade and agate. In front of the door was a pile of raw stones of various sizes, also known as gambling stones.

If you are lucky, you will get jade; if you are unlucky, you will just buy an ordinary stone.

Some people became rich overnight, while others lost everything.

Chu Peining took a quick look and accurately picked out a few pieces of top-quality jadeite.

Her eyes have the ability to see through everything, and even if they are severely damaged, it is still easy for her to see through these.

His eyes accurately identified the jade with spiritual fluctuations, and when he narrowed his eyes, he could see a layer of pale white halo attached to it.

Chu Peining was slightly stunned. The quality was several times better than she expected.

In modern times when spiritual energy is gradually dissipating, it is not easy to find such pure spiritual stones. This completely refreshed her understanding of the underground market.

This high-quality spiritual stone was not the one that attracted Chu Peining.

She followed the gazes of the crowd and saw jade being polished in the shop. She could vaguely see the translucent purple inside, glowing fluorescently.

The man standing not far away looked at the flying powder with no emotion on his face.

Chu Peining's gaze shifted and fell on a jade pendant hanging around his waist.

It is smooth and translucent, and it is obviously of top quality at first glance.

But what really matters is the aura emanating from the jade. It is milky white in color, and after years of nourishment, it is not surging but very strong.

Chu Peining raised his eyebrows, feeling very surprised.

This kind of stuff would be hard to come by even five hundred years earlier.

Her eyes deepened as she looked at the owner of the jade pendant.

The Zhongshan suit was well-ironed and fitted, with a dragon pattern on the left chest, which seemed out of place in such a chaotic place as the underground market.

He has black hair cut into a wolf's ponytail, which is well-groomed, and he has a pair of bright eyes.

Red lips, white teeth, face like a crown jade.

Just one glance will make people think of the phrase - this young master is unparalleled in the world!

Chu Peining, however, focused on the aura emanating from him.

is golden.

People who possess this kind of aura are generally blessed with both merit and fortune.

That man was not the case.

He is not a blessed person, he must be carrying something, or...

What special abilities do you have?

Chu Peining frowned in thought.

She couldn't see the details, but he seemed to be a powerful person.

But one thing is certain—he is a Feng Shui master!

In modern times, Feng Shui masters have long lost their former glory. There are very few who can achieve this level, and it is even rarer to find one so young.

Chu Peining had a vague guess in his mind and needed confirmation.

During the time he was stunned, the jade had been polished and a piece of purple jade half the size of a palm fell into the man's hand.

The color is crystal clear, mysterious and beautiful, and the charming violet exudes a romantic mood.

Charming, calm and restrained

Everyone around was amazed.

"It's actually an ice violet."

"This quality will definitely sell for tens of millions at an auction."

"This is a huge profit. How come that person is so lucky!"

Chu Peining looked indifferent.

It's definitely not luck that the man can produce such top-quality products.

He turned sideways, and the person next to him immediately took out a box, put the jade in it, and asked in a low voice:

"Fifth Master, do you want to continue?"

"That's it for today."

Xi Luobai shook his head and was escorted away by two men in suits.

Many dark and malicious gazes followed their backs, along with the owners of the gazes.

The greedy malice in the air was like a lamp in the endless darkness, extremely eye-catching to Chu Peining.

However, she did not react at all. She bought the spirit stone with spiritual energy fluctuations and did not open it in the shop.

The underground market has a special auction house. The cost of cutting raw stones there is twice as high as outside, but the security level is extremely high. Good quality stones can be taken directly to the auction house for auction.

I think the man just now chose to save money only when he was absolutely confident in his own safety.

……

Across the street, in the alley.

"Fifth Master, they are here."

"Yeah." Xi Luobai put away the box containing the ice violets and took two steps back.

When I looked up again, a few ruffian-looking men in jackets came into my sight with malicious smiles on their faces.

They held sharp fruit knives or half-meter-long iron rods in their hands, and kept approaching in a semi-encirclement position.

The leading man pointed a knife at Xi Luobai and said, "If you know what's best for you, hand over the ice violet in your hand!"

The other party didn't respond.

The man swung the knife in his hand and gave the order with full energy: "Go!"
