245: Black slaves

Viewed from the outside, it was just an ordinary small courtyard.

After entering, there was a red wooden table against the wall.

Surrounded by seven or eight Qi Refining Stage Cultivators gambling there.

On the other side of the door, there was another wooden table.

Two Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators were sitting nearby, chatting.

When Gu Changan entered, one of them was holding a teacup, sipping tea.

When his gaze swept over Gu Changan and he couldn't discern his cultivation level, he was immediately startled!

He immediately put down his teacup and came before Gu Changan.

He performed a salute: "Senior, are you looking to buy something?"

Then he looked at the Donor in front of him and immediately understood something.

He then gave the Donor a look that said, "You are very sensible!"

"You know how to bring me customers!"

The Middle-aged Cultivator acting as the Donor was trembling with fear.

He didn't know whether to leave or stay!

Gu Changan simply waved his hand and dismissed him.

The people in the courtyard were no longer playing around.

They unconsciously focused all their attention on Gu Changan.

After all, with a Golden Core Stage Senior in front of them, to still be so unbridled and ignore him...

If this Senior had a bad temper and slapped them to death, those above would not care about their lives at all!

Gu Changan looked at the leader Cultivator in front of him: "Let's go! Take me to see!"

The bandit-faced Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator quickly led the way in front.

He brought Gu Changan directly into a room and pulled open the wooden floorboards.

A slanted downward passage was revealed underneath.

He walked straight ahead, and Gu Changan swept his Divine Sense and discovered that it was very deep below.

He immediately scanned the general area; it was at least four or five times larger than the courtyard above.

The dense cages inside were like a prison.

Gu Changan followed the leader Cultivator down.

The people behind consciously covered the entrance!

Upon descending, Gu Changan sensed a faint stench and immediately shielded his senses.

He swept his Divine Sense across all the cages and discovered that the highest cultivation level was only Late Foundation Establishment Stage.

As for the few cages in the furthest corner, there were dozens of children, aged roughly seven or eight to around ten, locked inside.

The bandit-faced Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator introduced them with a smile in front: "Fellow Daoist, which one do you fancy?"

"Do you have any requirements?"

"Male Cultivator or Female Cultivator?"

"For a Male Cultivator, the price is determined by their cultivation level!"

"For a Female Cultivator, it depends on their looks and their cultivation level!"

Gu Changan suddenly felt that these Black Slaves were all extremely weak; he could annihilate them with a wave of his hand!

Did he really need subordinates like these?

Gu Changan turned his head to look at the leader Cultivator: "Is this all there is?"

"Isn't it said that there are Golden Core Stage Black Slaves?"

The bandit-faced Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator's expression stiffened, but he quickly recovered.

"We do!"

"We dare not keep Black Slaves of that level here!"

"They are all outside the city, in the hands of my superior!"

"That way, he can suppress and keep watch over them at any time!"

Hearing that there were Golden Core Stage Black Slaves, Gu Changan became interested.

"How many Spirit Stones for a Golden Core Stage Black Slave?"

The bandit-faced Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator carefully sized up Gu Changan, thinking it unlikely that Gu Changan could afford a Golden Core Stage Black Slave.

Gu Changan was not angry at being looked down upon and slightly revealed a trace of his Golden Core Stage Aura.

The bandit-faced Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator was directly pressed to his knees on the ground by the pressure.

With a terrified expression, he said: "Senior, this one was wrong!"

"For a Golden Core Stage Black Slave, you must speak to my superior, Senior!"

"The price for every Golden Core Stage Black Slave is different!"

Gu Changan withdrew his Aura: "What is the approximate price range?"

The bandit-faced Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator thought for a moment: "At least over one million Spirit Stones!"

"After all, a Golden Core Stage Black Slave is worth as much as a Magic Treasure!"

"And they can be more flexible, helping people fight and such!"

Gu Changan nodded; the price was within a reasonable range.

However, one million Spirit Stones was still a bit expensive!

Since that was the case, why not just buy Foundation Establishment Stage Black Slaves?

Anyway, he had plenty of core formation pills; as long as one of them formed a Golden Core, he wouldn't lose out!

On the contrary, buying a Golden Core Stage Black Slave directly was a bit of a loss!

He didn't have many ready-to-use Spirit Stones on hand; the only things he could trade were various Heaven And Earth Treasures, Spirit Pills, and Spirit Medicines!

Taking these out would attract too much attention!

Gu Changan figured everything out in an instant.

"Forget it, introduce the Black Slaves in here."

"Are there any with good talent?"

The bandit-faced Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator's face was instantly covered in smiles, and he hurriedly got up.

"That depends on what cultivation level of Black Slave Senior needs?"

"Early Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, 3000 Spirit Stones!"

"Foundation Establishment Mid-stage Cultivator, 6000 Spirit Stones!"

"Late Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, 9000 Spirit Stones!"

"Foundation Establishment Perfection Cultivator, 12000 Spirit Stones!"

"As for Spiritual Roots, there are only Medium Grade Spiritual Roots and High Grade Spiritual Roots!"

"After all, it is very difficult to Cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Stage with Low Grade Spiritual Roots!"

"On top of the above, add 3000 Spirit Stones for Medium Grade Spiritual Roots!"

"Add 6000 Spirit Stones for High Grade Spiritual Roots!"

Gu Changan nodded; he now had an understanding of the general market.

"Then how much good stock do you have here?"

The bandit-faced Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator: "Is Senior asking about Late Foundation Establishment Stage or Foundation Establishment Perfection?"

Gu Changan looked impatient: "Introduce them all; are you afraid I can't afford them?"

The bandit-faced Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to offend Gu Changan.

However, he didn't give his subordinate in the distance a good look: "Go get me the ledger!"

Before long, the bandit-faced Foundation Establishment Stage leader was flipping through the ledger in his hand.

He replied in a deep voice: "Senior! There is only one Foundation Establishment Perfection Cultivator, a male!"

"High Grade Spiritual Root, the price is 18,000 Spirit Stones!"

"There are about 12 Late Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators, including ten males and two females!"

"Among the males, there is one with a High Grade Spiritual Root, priced at 15,000 Spirit Stones!"

"The remaining males all have Medium Grade Spiritual Roots, priced at 12,000 Spirit Stones!"

"The two females both have Medium Grade Spiritual Roots!"

"However, their looks are quite good, so we added 3000 Spirit Stones!"

"15,000 Spirit Stones each!"

"Which kind does Senior want?"

After listening, Gu Changan pondered in his heart; the total didn't add up to much!

Roughly 171,000 Spirit Stones!

"Don't rush to talk about this!"

"How many Spirit Stones for those Mortal children in the corner who have no cultivation?"

The bandit-faced Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator: "Senior, are you planning to train them from scratch?"

"That's true! Some Families train these people from a young age."

"That way, they will have a certain sense of belonging to the Family when they grow up!"

"Their price is not expensive; the good ones were long ago picked away by some Families."

"They wouldn't end up on the Black Slave market!"

"These are all Low Grade Spiritual Roots; one costs only 100 Spirit Stones!"

"The advantage of these Mortals is that they are clean, just like a blank sheet of paper; whatever you teach them, that's what they become!"

Gu Changan nodded; it seemed these Mortal children were dispensable.
