Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 104

Chapter 104: Chapter 92: Who is the Prey? Overwhelming Suppression!

Gu Sheng shook his head disdainfully and turned to leave.

The stall owner desperately tried to stop him.

"Six taels of silver?"

"If not, then four taels!"

"Young master, name your price!"

Gu Sheng didn’t even turn his head, only a faint voice echoed back:

"Do you take me for a fool? Without any secret medicine, practicing your manual is nothing but a waste of time."

The stall owner froze in place, watching Gu Sheng’s departing figure and shook his head helplessly.

However, deep down, he felt a flutter of excitement.

"This is a fat sheep... Taking a hundred taels of silver without hesitation. Must be some rich young master out for a stroll. Do I go for it? After this score, I can retreat for dedicated cultivation. If trouble really arises, I’ll lay low for a while. Worst case, I’ll change identities and keep selling..."

His gaze flickered, secretly trailing Gu Sheng’s silhouette.

To survive and thrive in the black market while swindling and scheming, this man naturally had some skills.

Gu Sheng felt the greedy, prying gaze from behind and chuckled inwardly.

Precisely.

He was pulling a bait-and-trap operation!

To amass wealth quickly, occasional unconventional methods were a necessity; Gu Sheng didn’t shy away from this, as long as it remained safe.

With his recent advancement to the Jade Skin Realm, and a significant increase in power, he could afford to be a bit bolder, at least in this black market where Blood Refining Realm experts were absent.

The stall owner peddling the Shapeshifting Art was one of his targets.

After preying on so many fat sheep, the stall owner was sure to have considerable resources.

By flaunting his wealth, should greed lure the man in, it would be his death.

If the man resisted temptation, Gu Sheng could settle for catching smaller fish to satiate his hunger.

Gu Sheng calculated his myriad plans silently, continuing to reveal hints of wealth without being obvious. Of course, he wasn’t foolish enough to flaunt blindly; he maintained a facade of alertness, making the display seem unintentional to onlookers.

Time flowed steadily.

The closing hour of the black market approached quickly.

By now, the crowd within the market had thinned significantly. Gu Sheng waited until the very last moment, sensing those faint glances darting back and forth toward him. Meanwhile, the stall owner selling Shapeshifting Art had vanished.

But Gu Sheng knew that if the man intended mischief, he must have already used Shapeshifting Art to blend into the crowd.

The stream of people flowed outwards, each maintaining a safe distance from one another, wary of their surroundings.

The scene mirrored Gu Sheng’s first venture into the black market.

Except this time was different.

During his first visit, Gu Sheng had genuinely been cautious, hoping to avoid unexpected trouble. This time, however, he wished for someone to take the bait.

Swish!!
