Chapter 561: 561

Many Practitioners had gathered in Luo City . The secret practitioners had heard about the competition among the six families to take over the black market . This was like in a Wuxia 1 novel, where experts fought over treasures .

But the competition between the families that the secret practitioners had been expecting suddenly became much different .

Li Yunchu and the rest carried away the magical stones, their expressions gloomy . They had to go back and reconsider their strategy . They had definitely made losses and now, they had to find a way to make up for it .

But how should they make up for such a large loss? This was a very difficult problem .

The secret Practitioners gathered in Wen Wan City . After waiting for a long time, the Lord left . One hour passed before the families left with a dark expression on their face . Everyone looked at one another in blank dismay . What did the Lord say to them?

It was said that even the families themselves did not know exactly what they were gathered here for . They would not spread this information either .

Luo City became the center of attention among Practitioners overnight .

But the Practitioners all over the country probably did not think that the families, who were supposedly rivals in this, would sit together tonight .

There were no eternal enemies in the world, only eternal profits . Every family had bought ten thousand magical stones from Li Yixiao . So who did the black market belong to?

They recalled what Li Yixiao had said when he had invited them over, “I have magical stones on hand . I am preparing to leave the market, thus I am selling them . ”

Everyone had thought that this was a hint that buying the magical stones meant that they would gain the black market as well…

Li Yunchu said coldly, “The Li family has spent 400 thousand per magical stone . We even gave up a jade that can preserve youthful looks! This value has far exceeded the market value, so the black market belongs to the Li family . ”

Nalan Que said with disdain, “Who did not pay 400 thousand per stone? Furthermore, it is not a big problem even if a celebrity bought that jade . We are not playing around here . The Nalan family gave up a Vajra!”

“The Gao family gave up a Soothe Bell!”

“The Wang family…”

Everyone fought to say what their family had given up . But one family had not spoken . It was like a game of beat the drum, pass the flower . The drum beat had not stopped, but the flower had broken…

Nalan Que glanced at the Liu family . “What did your family give?”

The Liu family son laughed . “We gave them a pearl . After the era of rich magical energy, we have confirmed that the pearl is a magical weapon that has no function . The Liu family, unlike you, was not so liberal, thus we did not suffer much loss . ”

Nalan Que was silent . “… ouch . ”

Up till just now, they had been competing over which family was the richest . Now, thinking about it, they were just comparing who suffered the most losses…

Lu Shu was at home analyzing the weapons he had received . He fed the divine water with the weapons . It was best to have one talent to rely on . When experts fought, they did not have the time to let you use so many weapons . One skill that could attack enemies was sufficient .

Lu Shu agreed with what Li Xianyi had said . The sword was the most powerful method of massacre . Lu Shu relied on divine water and the sword . Things like the Vajra and Soothe Bell were just too normal .

From Lu Shu’s point of view, the items that the families had given up were not worthy . Its magical energy was on par with the Sun Moon Mirror . He tried the weapons out and found that the Soothe Bell could not even soothe Little Fury, so what use did Lu Shu have for it?

On the other hand, the golden snake was very happy . It gobbled up the weapons in one mouthful . The divine water increased in volume as well .

Under normal circumstances, water element Metahumans were at a disadvantage on land . Couldn’t they draw water elements from the air? But now, the divine water Lu Shu possessed could fill a body of water as large as a swimming pool . Even if he was on land, he did not have to be overly cautious .

If he could instantly create a lake of divine water, very few organizations would be able to threaten him any more .

Lu Shu was refining his skills . The divine water could attack groups, defend, and break weapons . The mask was for disguise . These two weapons were highly functional . The flying sword and aurablade, on the other hand, possessed pure destructive power . As for the Sun Moon Mirror and the purple golden gourd… they were just there to pull a prank…

But among these weapons, there was one weapon that Lu Shu did not provide with divine water . He fished out the black pearl from his pocket and carefully looked at it . At first glance, it seemed like a black glass bead . But on closer inspection, he realized that a black fog was circulating within the pearl .

“Why would this make the flame react?” Lu Shu could not understand . He suspected that this pearl had some connection to the Puppet Master, like the mask . This was not irrational as to date, he had only reacted as such to the mask and this pearl .

Furthermore, other people could not use the mask . He could only use it after suppressing his flame .

Lu Shu tried to use his magical instincts to search for the pearl, but the search bounced back . At this moment, the flame in his heart jumped again . The resistance from the pearl instantly vanished .

Lu Shu’s consciousness suddenly placed itself in the black fog . A distant voice sounded . “… a familiar bloodline . Who are you?”

The voice sounded wide and distant . It did not sound like a person speaking . It sounded more like a spirit speaking .

Lu Shu retreated in shock . For some reason, he felt that this pearl was somewhat odd . It would be best to avoid staying inside .

The moment he retreated, the thick fog within the pearl started to roll, before gradually coming to a standstill .

What a close shave! He had better not touch the pearl for the time being . This was just too scary!

The meeting between the families continued in the meeting room of a hotel .

The son of the Liu family said, “Everyone knows that it is not possible for someone to pull out . We should all work together for this to work . We have to dominate the Luo City black market . This way, we still have the possibility of turning our losses into profits . ”

Six families controlling one black market?! The profits would be diluted! No one wanted to see this happen . Who would want to see this happen if there was some other solution?!

They did not believe that Nie Ting would not get hold of the news . Did Li Yixiao really dare to do so without Nie Ting’s knowledge?! They had not seen Nie Ting come to stop him either . They felt that even Nie Ting could not possibly ignore tens of thousands of magical stones!
