456: Go to the black market

Meanwhile, in the Sword Origin World.

The next day, at dawn, Jun Li had already woken up.

When she went to wash up, she saw that Li Yuanfeng and Li Yuanfrost were also awake.

Everyone woke up at dawn to practice their swords.

Li Chengshuang was even earlier than them; when Jun Li and the others finished washing up and arrived at the training grounds, he was already there practicing his sword.

Clearly, as the head of the family, he was more diligent and hardworking than his children, and as the family head, he obviously didn't have as much time, so he naturally had to start earlier.

After an hour of sword practice, everyone stopped.

It was time for breakfast, around seven o'clock.

The servants had already prepared breakfast, and after finishing it, Jun Li planned to visit the black market.

"I'll take the Sect Master there," Li Yuanfeng said.

"Alright! Then you go!" Li Chengshuang nodded.

"I want to go too!" Li Yuanfrost was like a clingy person; wherever Jun Li went, she wanted to follow.

"You stay home and cultivate properly!" Li Chengshuang directly refused Li Yuanfrost's request.

"Ugh~ Okay~" Li Yuanfrost pouted.

"Xiao Shuang, you should cultivate at home and improve your cultivation!" Jun Li smiled and said to Li Yuanfrost.

Among the three, Li Yuanfrost's cultivation was the lowest.

Of course, while Li Chengshuang still had the highest Sword Dao realm, Li Yuanfrost was making the fastest progress!

In terms of Sword Dao talent, the youngest Li Yuanfrost was actually the highest.

If Li Yuanfeng hadn't been older, his Sword Dao realm would have been ahead, but this lead was slowly being caught up by Li Yuanfrost day by day.

In less than two years, Li Yuanfrost might catch up to Li Yuanfeng.

Li Yuanfrost truly loved the Sword Dao, dedicating most of her time to sword practice, which led to her cultivation being a bit low and her progress worrying.

"Alright, don't be so gloomy. This is a Spirit-Nourishing Jade Pendant; it can speed up the gathering of spiritual energy and help you cultivate faster. It's for you," Jun Li took out a jade pendant and handed it to Li Yuanfrost.

"Thank you, Sect Master!" Li Yuanfrost heard this and, without any hesitation, happily accepted it.

Li Chengshuang, seeing Jun Li "pampering" Li Yuanfrost, also smiled.

"Alright, we're heading out," Jun Li said, then left the Li family with Li Yuanfeng, heading to the black market.

However, before going out, they made some adjustments to their appearance, at least to conceal their aura and disguise themselves.

In the current situation, Jun Li knew that many people were already eyeing her.

But it didn't matter; if possible, she wanted to give the other families of Yinjiang City a "big gift" before she left.

For example, to show off her strength?

After all, no matter what, she was the Sect Master of Heaven Sword Mountain, and the Li family was currently under Heaven Sword Mountain.

In terms of strength, although Jun Li was still in the Embrace the Core Realm and hadn't made much progress in cultivation, during this time, besides teaching the Li family father and sons their Sword Techniques and reviewing her own, she was also cultivating the Sword Dao in the Cross-World Group's "Enlightenment Room."

She also consumed Life Nectar during her daily cultivation.

After all, her hundreds of millions of source points were just sitting there.

With the help of the Enlightenment Room, Jun Li, who was already exceptionally talented, made rapid progress in the Sword Dao.

Not only that, but she also had Sword Dao exchanges from different worlds with people like Ally and Clarissa in the Cross-World Group.

Even if Ally and Clarissa learned the same sword art, Ally had already forged her own "Sword Dao," which naturally held great reference value.

And in these days, Jun Li, relying on the boost from the Enlightenment Room, managed to comprehend two more sword stances: Moon Yin Sword Stance and Yin-Yang Sword Stance.

Not only that, but her overall Sword Dao level had increased several times over!

Although she was still in the Embrace the Core Realm, without mentioning cross-realm killing, this cultivation combined with her Sword Dao realm was enough to make Jun Li a ceiling-level existence within the Embrace the Core Realm.

This was also why the Sword Dao relied so heavily on talent and comprehension.

Moreover, the improvement of the Sword Dao realm would also, to a certain extent, feed back into one's own cultivation and cultivation speed.

The Sword Origin within her body would also improve in "quality" as her Sword Dao realm increased.

Furthermore, Jun Li felt that she had already vaguely touched the threshold of Sword Intent.

This made Jun Li very happy.

However, haste makes waste, and Jun Li understood the principle of maintaining a calm mind.

Jun Li and Li Yuanfeng left and headed to the black market located in the city's outskirts.

And similarly, they were also being watched by spies from other families.

Everyone who left the Li family was subjected to "surveillance."

Of course, they didn't dare to track too openly; if discovered, it would be quite troublesome.

"We received news that the black market is currently operating here.

The black market is called the black market... precisely because it cannot see the light of day," Li Yuanfeng told Jun Li, "So, each time it operates, it chooses a temporary base of operations, and it's different every time."

"So, that means there should be 'bosses' behind the black market, right?" Jun Li raised an eyebrow and asked when she heard Li Yuanfeng say this.

"Yes, there are.

In Yinjiang City, the main operators behind the black market are the Chen family, the Zhao family, and the Fu family, acting as the bosses," Li Yuanfeng told Jun Li all the information he knew.

"Which means, a lot of good stuff is actually in the hands of these three families, right?" Jun Li asked Li Yuanfeng, using reverse thinking.

After all, these three families were the main operators of a place like the black market, so theoretically, if they wanted something, it would definitely be very convenient for them.

"Yes!

Many people in the black market have direct cooperation with these three families, including many famous 'treasure-stealing groups' and 'thief groups' in this area," Li Yuanfeng said with a slight frown, clearly dissatisfied with these three families.

In a sense, these three families were the biggest "black bosses."

Because where there is "trade," there is "killing."

Especially with these three major families providing "backing," forming an industrial chain, and not only that, but other families, big and small, were also involved.

This was why Li Yuanfeng disliked these three families, and also why the Dynasty only had "good feelings" for the Li family.

It was because everyone knew, but there was no way to solve it.

Why? Isn't there law?

Do you really want to talk about law in a fantasy world?

Moreover, the Dynasty had not yet achieved the stage of "unifying the world."

Only when it reached that point, with absolute military suppression, would talking about law be more appropriate.

Otherwise, in these fantasy worlds where strength reigns supreme, it would be impossible.

But thinking about it, it's true; no matter where, strength is supreme, even in a technological world, countries and the like, isn't it also "strength supreme"?

National governance is inherently about convincing people with reason.

Just like Confucius, he emphasized convincing people with virtue and reason.

This means that when he wanted to reason, he would take off his shirt, and a "virtue" character would slowly bulge from his strong back, making everyone feel that Confucius's words were very reasonable!
