One hour later.

Lin Yu brought Wan'er and two other servants responsible for picking up things to the black market in Jianyang City.

Most of the transactions in the black market are things that cannot be seen, so there are strict restrictions on the persons involved in the transaction, and someone must introduce a guarantee.

The government naturally knew that this gray area existed, but because there were too many wealthy families and prominent people involved, they always turned a blind eye.

Anyway, as long as everyone does not mention the black market on the surface, just pretend it does not exist.

Lin Yu walked around the street for a while, then took people into a bookstore called Dingming Bookstore.

It is said to be a black market, but in fact, from the appearance, there is no difference between ordinary streets and markets. People who don’t know think that this is an ordinary street and the shops are just ordinary shops.

"Do you need anything?"

The servant in the store immediately came up to meet him.

Lin Yu quietly took out a nameplate from his mother to look at the servant. The servant immediately nodded and understood, and made a gesture of invitation and said, "Please please in the young master."

"Um."

Lin Yu responded, nodded to Wan'er, and walked into the inner room of the bookstore alone.

There is another person here to receive him.

"What books do young master want? Strange and unofficial history, strange and strange ambitions, or martial arts secrets?"

An old man wearing a black cloth gown walked up to Lin Yu without saying much nonsense, and asked straight to the point.

He has been in this industry for many years and knows what everyone who can come here wants.

It's nothing more than those books that were banned by the court.

It’s strange that although the Dawu Dynasty had the word “Wu”, it strictly controlled the spread of martial arts books. Only martial arts sects registered in the court were qualified to spread.

It is illegal for others to dare to spread martial arts books in private.

Of course, this does not mean that people are prohibited from practicing martial arts. Small-scale communication such as father passing through sons and master passing through disciples is fine. It is not a problem to prevent people from printing and selling on a large scale.

Lin Yu speculated that the court should have wanted to limit warriors who have pursuits to major sects for easy management, so as not to be full of talented and brave lone heroes, or even make bandits.

Otherwise, the government would not have accused the sect of chasing people who have learned martial arts in private schools.

Obviously, the court did not want the high-quality martial arts to spread everywhere.

"I want martial arts books."

Lin Yu took the old man's words and said.

"Okay, please come here for me."

The old man nodded and took Lin Yu to a row of cabinets with heavy protection.

When he opened one of the cabinet doors, the old man introduced: "There are all books here, which one is the young master want?"

"I'll take a look."

Lin Yu said while taking out one of the books and reading them.

Since he used the martial arts modifier to upgrade the Flowing Shadow Sword Technique to the second level, his vision and experience have been improved accordingly.

Now, like a person who has been practicing martial arts for many years, he can see through the authenticity of most martial arts books at a glance.

After only a few glances, he found that the book in his hand was the same as the seven books he bought by his mother, and it was a broken book.

Then he shook his head and put it down, picked up another book and looked it up.

Unfortunately, I read ten books in a row, and all the books were incomplete and omissions.

It seems that due to the strict control of the imperial court, even these things have become strange goods and can be sold at a high price.

Otherwise, if you get it for sale on the spot, any one who knows it can pick it out for you.

"Shopkeeper, let me tell you clearly. Actually, I have been practicing martial arts for many years and have enough knowledge of martial arts. Don't fool me with these broken roots."

Lin Yu put down the books in his hand and showed off to the old man.

"Is the young master a martial arts practitioner? I really didn't see it."

The old man looked at Lin Yu in surprise.

From any perspective, Lin Yu has no characteristics of a warrior. Not only is he thin and tender skin on his face and hands, but even his temperament looks like a scholar.

If you have to say that you have been practicing martial arts for many years, who dares to believe it?

And if you really have to practice martial arts for many years and have this rich outfit, you must be a disciple of a major sect. Is it necessary to come to the shit pit to find gold?

Seeing the old man's expression of disbelief, Lin Yu had no choice but to pursed his lips, took out a ingot of silver and said, "I have the silver. As long as you can take out real martial arts books, it is best to be a high-quality martial arts."

After saying that, he stuffed the silver directly into the old man's hand.

The old man greedily touched the silver in his hand and smiled, "Young master is so generous. Since that's the case, I'll tell the truth."

"To be honest, the master said that people will not sell truly valuable martial arts books like this. They must be auctioned so that they can be sold at a good price."

After hearing this, Lin Yu nodded slightly, "It's true."

The old man put away the silver in his hand, stroked his beard and smiled, "I will tell you valuable news without any merits. At the black market auction tomorrow, there will be real high-quality martial arts. It is said to be the third grade. You can go and take a look at it at that time."

"Is it third-grade? Then I'm going to settle it!"

Lin Yu made up his mind to win it no matter how much the price he spent.

Anyway, my father had already said that he could go to the account to withdraw the money himself, so he naturally had to let go.

When my father sees the achievements he has made in martial arts, he will definitely feel that the money is worth it.

The old man smiled and reminded: "I naturally have no doubts about the financial resources of the young master, but I would like to remind you that the third-grade martial arts has already entered the martial arts. I don't know which sect it was circulated. If you really want to practice it, you have to be more at ease."

"I naturally know this."

Lin Yu replied.

Others are afraid of this, but they are not afraid of it. When the martial arts is integrated into Liuying's sword technique, no one will know what kind of martial arts it is.

It's impossible to come here to make trouble just because it looks a bit like it.

...

Since he had not found a suitable martial arts book, Lin Yu took Wan'er and two servants away and headed straight to the blacksmith shop on the other street.

In contrast, the imperial court's control of weapons was not as strict as martial arts books.

Firstly, it is because the materials for creating good weapons are expensive, and secondly, if you don’t have martial arts and don’t know how to use them, no matter how good the weapons are, they are almost the same as fire sticks.

So as long as you can prove your innocence, anyone can freely buy the weapons they want.

Dangdangdangdang-

As soon as Lin Yu walked into the blacksmith shop, he heard the sound of iron thunder from the backyard of the shop.

"Young Master, what do you need?"

The servant from the blacksmith shop came up and asked with a smile.

This outfit is a big customer, so I must be here to buy exquisitely crafted swords for decoration, which can make a lot of money.

"Take out the best knife in your store and take a look."

Lin Yu glanced at the shop and said to the servant.

"Okay!" The servant responded happily, but then he said in confusion: "Young Master, are you sure you want a knife, not a sword?"

"That's right, it's just a knife, hurry up."

"Good!"

The servant responded readily.
Chapter completed!
