Against The Gods
Chapter 57 – New Moon City, Black Moon Merchant Guild

New Moon City; located in the middle eastern area of the Blue Wind Empire with a scale over ten times larger than Floating Cloud City. Small sects and clans were established throughout the city like trees in a forest. The Imperial Blue Wind Family had also established the Imperial Profound Government here, and even the Xiao Sect and Burning Heaven Clan had branch sects at this location. Thus, countless young profound practitioners rushed in from all directions in hopes of the lucky possibility that they could join the main sect, all the while pursuing a profound path.

On this day, from the east side of the gates of New Moon City, a young man dressed in black walked slowly. He seemed to be only sixteen or seventeen years old and there was still immaturity left on his face; however, his gaze was weighty and profound, and his complexion carries a firm determination and indifference that is incompatible with his age. His progressive steps were extremely slow, and each step left a shallow trail to the solid ground along with a surprising stream of sweat drops.

The distance between Cyan Forest Town and New Moon City was a total of three hundred and fifty kilometers, and Yun Che had been walking for over a month. Not because he didn't want to come faster, but because he couldn't walk faster.

On the day he departed from Cyan Forest Town, Jasmine asked him to find a heavy object that was over two hundred kilograms …. But Yun Che was even more brutal to himself; he spent all the rest of his deep yellow coins and directly bought a piece of pig iron that weighed three hundred and thirty kilograms from the workshop in Cyan Forest Town. After which, Yun Che prepared the rations and left the Cyan Forest City. He did not buy a deep horse, but traveled on foot.

If it was for a profound practitioner in the True Profound Realm, this weight was not considered much; however for a profound practitioner in the Nascent Profound Realm, this weight was not considered much, this is definitely not a burden that can be easily overlooked.

The first day Yun Che brought along the rough iron, every step he took would consume a lot of energy. At the same time, his shoulder would be in unbearable pain and his spine seemed to be breaking at any moment. After walking four hundred steps, all of his profound energy would be completely expended; his entire body would be pressed to the ground by the pig iron and he would also not be able to stand for a long time. But after a slight recovery, he continued to move forward, and carried the piece of pig iron without the slightest intention to stop.

Just like that, Yun Che walked for three hundred and fifty kilometers. For food, he had an unchanged dry ration and pellets in the low level he made, while his drink was the water he prepared in the waterfall of the Scarlet Dragon Mountain Range.

The grains of sweat he left behind during this entire journey, if combined, were enough to form into a decent-sized stream.

The frightening willpower of Yun Che astonished Jasmine again It was because throughout the journey, Yun Che did not put the pig iron on her back even once; even if she was completely exhausted and her back was bleeding, it was because, his expression did not reveal the slightest sign of resignation, nor did he let out a painful sound of suffering. Instead, he remained calm.

Three hundred and fifty kilometers. From the difficult initial step to the gradual adaptation later in life, after a tiring process and recovering again, repeatedly, thousands of times, yun Che's profound energy in his profound veins became thicker and richer…. So much so that there are indications of another possible breakthrough half a month ago. However, Yun Che forcefully suppressed his profound strength breakthrough. Since the previous increase of his profound strength was too ferocious, it was necessary for him to stabilize the profound energy adequately while also allowing his body to fully adapt and control his profound strength.

On this day, the city gate of New Moon City finally appeared in his line of sight.

“Finally arrived. "As Yun Che walked forward, the corner of his mouth formed a smile.

“Right now you can undoubtedly achieve a perfect victory against every Profound Being of the same level. But in the end, the deep savage beasts only had low intelligence and had extremely singular and boring attack patterns. If you want to become a strong and legitimate practitioner, you have to fight more with people …. Then, let's start with this New Moon City. “Jasmine said, as if she was an experienced parent

"Yes!" As Yun Che nodded. His gaze contained no fear at all, but instead had an obscure joy and hope.

“Now, put the pig iron on your body. Your current body should really be used for a huge surge of strength growth …. . No, even if it has soared a few more levels, your body should still be able to bear it. ”

Yun Che released the pig iron and dropped it down, causing it to smash a deep dent into the ground surface. Just then, Yun Che felt his body so light that it was as if there was nothing. He slightly channeled his energy, and kicked under his feet; from this jump, he actually jumped over sixteen meters straight! After firmly landing on the ground, he swung his right hand; a crimson-colored flame blazed fiercely from his right hand, then quickly extinguished, restarted it, and extinguished it again…. he controlled it freely to the bottom of his heart without a fight.

"I'll tell you the good news. With your current body, you can barely withstand the first stage of the seven gates of Evil God! Which means, you can now try to open the first gate when you meet an opponent that you cannot defeat! ”

"I can open the first gate?" Yun Che's face was full of astonishment.

"just barely. As a last resort, you can try to open it. With your current profound strength and physique, it should not cause great harm to your life. However, I*m not sure if it will cause permanent damage or not. Before reaching the seventh level of the Nascent Profound Realm, it was best not to use it carelessly. "Jasmine spoke with words of warning.

Yun Che originally wanted to try to feel the sensation of opening the first gate, and at the same time, wanted to see how powerful the profound skill with the gate opened was. But after listening to Jasmine's words, he could only obediently lay down that thought. If by any chance his body could not survive and was permanently injured, it would definitely be a huge loss.

If one were to enter the streets of New Moon City and look around, various styles of buildings and storefronts were strewn non-stop. As the crowd moved along, waves of commotion were like waves; it was extremely lively and bustling. Moreover, regardless of gender or age, almost everyone carried various levels of profound energy.

“After all, this is a big city. In comparison, Floating Cloud City only resembled a slightly large city. "Yun Che sighed.

“Halo, uncle's there. If I may ask, where is the location of the Black Moon Merchant Guild? ”Yun Che stopped a middle-aged man who looked relatively nice, and politely asked him.

"The Black Moon Merchant Guild?" The man assessed Yun Che from head to toe. Although his usual clothes and his too young age made him somewhat skeptical, he still stretched out his hand and pointed: "Go west straight from here, having crossed about seven roads, he still held out, turn right and keep going, then you will arrive. However, young people, for a place like the Black Moon Merchant Guild, no matter buying or selling, needed to have considerable capital. ”

Yun Che nodded, thanked him, and walked in the direction he pointed to. After passing seven very long roads, he turned to the right. After continuing to walk for another half quarter hour, the flow of people suddenly reduced. Even the atmosphere became very different.

A large plaque embedded with a black waning moon appeared in Yun Che's line of sight; the four words "Black Moon Merchant Guild" lined up horizontally under the black moon. Despite being only four words, they carried an inexplicable deterrent power. It was different from the busyness and liveliness on the other streets; not only was the number of people passing by very few, most of them also walked in hasty footsteps and with their mouths tightly shut. Let alone being crowded, not even anyone spoke loudly, as if they were afraid of disturbing something.

"This Black Moon Merchant Guild, is really as grandfather explained. '' Yun Che silently muttered to himself.

The Merchant Guild Headquarters of Black Moon was located in the greatest country in the Profound Sky Continent, Divine Phoenix Empire. Its branch guilds had reached every country and major city, and were known as the largest merchant guild chain in the Profound Sky Continent.

Of course the Black Moon Merchant Guild was not as simple as just a merchant guild; to make the Black Moon Merchant Guild dominate all of the Profound Sky Continent, one could imagine the level of influence behind it. When Xiao Lie had talked about the Black Moon Merchant Guild before, he had very seriously mentioned that even the four major sects would never dare to be rash at the Black Moon Merchant Guild.

The Black Moon Merchant Guild system was extremely strict; in transactions, they could almost achieve absolute justice, and would never be biased towards one party. However, the Black Moon Merchant Guild would usually only deal with merchandise of quite high value, and would never even see items of lower quality.

After confirming the position of the Black Moon Merchant Guild, Yun Che went to a corner without anyone around. . He then took out a small bottle of medicinal powder that had been refined earlier, and quickly applied it on his face.

"What are you doing?" Jasmine curiously asked.

Yun Che did not reply. After he raised his face again, the immature features had already disappeared, and what replaced him was the resolute and resolute face of the middle-aged person; even his gaze was filled with life changes. He also rubbed a bit of medicinal powder into his hand, which made him appear somewhat withered. Then he took out a robe that seemed to be slightly worn, changed the black clothes he was wearing earlier, and took out a bamboo hat that covered half his face after being worn.

"You even know how to disguise?" Shouted Jasmine in astonishment.

“For a miracle doctor, being able to disguise is nothing. "Yun Che smiled proudly. Immediately after, his entire face became stiff and ice-cold, and even his voice turned hoarse: "No matter where the Black Moon Merchant Guild appears, no matter where it is, it would always be the king of Merchant Guilds in the area, unmatched by anyone. If the value was high enough, the Black Moon Merchant Guild would buy and sell anything…. There may even be pretty clothes for girls; let's go in and see it. ”

As she mentioned the words "beautiful clothes for girls", Yun Che clearly heard Jasmine let out a voice *tongue * cryptic bird.

To the commoners, they would all have deep respect for the Black Moon Merchant Guild; when they passed this place, they would all quickly walk past it, and did not dare to make any moves that might offend the Black Moon Merchant Union. Yun Che's strange appearance had attracted the attention of many people; but when they saw him calmly and ready to walk into the Black Moon Merchant guild, it was a very good idea, the gazes of those who looked at Yun Che were also filled with a hint of reverence …. To have the capital to trade within the Black Moon Merchant Guild, one would undoubtedly be a very important person.

The interior of the Black Moon Merchant Guild was vast, and its silence carried a sort of looming pressure. If a normal person walked inside, they would all be constrained by the atmosphere, until they were unable to breathe. On top of the enormous cargo shelves, there was a dazzling array of merchandise; medicinal materials, pellets, weapons, armor, gems, low-level beast cores, medicinal materials, pellets, weapons, armor, gems, gems, and even low-level profound skills …. It has everything. But no doubt, no items sold here are cheap. Some may be impossible for an ordinary family to buy even with life-long savings.
