The so-called black market.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

In reality, it is a covert trading ground.

The music played simply changed its attire, and it was successfully able to enter.

As a member of the Demon Suppression Division, he naturally wasn't afraid of his identity being exposed in the black market. After all, no matter the underworld or the legitimate world, few dared to provoke the Demon Suppression Division.

Others entering the black market need to conceal their identities.

The purpose is to avoid being targeted by malicious individuals and thus prevent unnecessary trouble.

The people of the Demon Suppression Bureau, however, are not on this list.

The reason for changing appearance and concealing one's identity is just in line with Ji Que's consistent style.

The black market.

Street stalls everywhere.

Most of the people walking are martial artists.

Each person was either wearing a mask, or a cloak, or had undergone disguise; in any case, no one appeared in their true form.

Jue Qu wasn't the first time coming to the black market, he directly passed through the crowd and entered an auction hall.

Present a token.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

The auction staff suddenly showed a respectful expression.

"Oh, it's a distinguished guest. Is there anything I can do for you"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"I have something to discuss with your manager."

"Um, honored guest, please take a seat in the inner room. I'll go inform my master right away."

"Hmm."

>

Ji Qu lightly nodded her head, then under the other's lead, entered the side room to wait.

This is a sample text.

It took less than a quarter of an hour.

A richly dressed elderly man walked in. Upon seeing the qin, he broke into a warm smile and bowed respectfully.

"Upon hearing of the distinguished guest's arrival, I, the second in command of this auction house, present myself."

"So it's Number Two in charge."

Ji Qu nodded slightly, his face expressionless.

The auction house managers were all nameless, instead using numbers to identify them.

The higher the number, the higher the status.

Number Two.

That proves the other party's identity, which is considered quite high in the auction house.

Immediately.

Ji Qu said: “The reason I came to the auction house is very simple. In half a month, I have a friend who is auctioning off a master-level external skill, a master-level internal skill, and a martial arts skill that directly points to the true meaning of martial arts.”

I'm also aware that your auction house holds considerable standing in the black markets of the Qin region. I imagine this matter wouldn't pose much of a problem for you.

>

"Auctioning off three masters-level martial arts!"

The second-in-command's pupils constricted, and he was also shocked by this.

Then.

He recovered, and a passionate smile returned to his face.

>

"The auction is fine, and half a month is enough time for the auction house to make publicity. However, you are a valued guest, and this is not your first time at the auction house. I abide by the rules of the auction house, and you should understand them as well."

The martial arts of the Three Gates Master are tentatively valued at 1.2 million taels of silver. A 10% deposit is required as an auction fee for promotional expenses.

If you breach this contract in half a month, the 10% deposit will be forfeited.

If the auction is successful, the auction house will take five percent of the transaction amount as a commission. The ten percent deposit is a top-up or refund, what do you think

Another—

"When auctioning things, you need a guarantor. Our auction house absolutely does not act as guarantors, so you'll still have to find someone with a good reputation to guarantee for you."

Otherwise, there will be problems later that will be difficult to solve.

Ji Qu didn't interrupt, silently waiting for the other person to finish speaking.

After a long time.

This is a text string. I am an AI language model, designed to understand and respond to your requests in English.Let me know if you have any other questions or tasks for me!

He spoke slowly.

“I understand the rules of your auction house, but I hope to be exempt from the deposit. Also, regarding the commission, your auction house should lower it as well.”

Hearing this.

Number Two remained composed, smiling as he replied, “Distinguished guest, you jest. The auction house's rules have been established long ago, and there’s no one who can change them. However, since you are a valued guest, perhaps some flexibility can be arranged.”

Therefore, the commission can be reduced by one percent, but as for the deposit, I'm afraid there's no way to waive it.

After all, auction promotion also involves certain risks. If a breach of contract occurs, it will be a significant blow to the reputation of my auction house.

When the Number Two official spoke.

Jì qǔ from his bosom took out an identity token and placed it on the table.

Suddenly.

>

Number Two's voice faltered.

In his sight, several large characters were written on the token.

Demon Suppression Division!

"You are from the Demon Suppression Division!"

The second-in-command's smile had vanished, replaced by a grave tone in his voice.

He never expected that the distinguished guest before him would be from the Demon Suppression Division.

Having retrieved his badge, he remained calm.

"I am a member of the Demon Suppression Division, but I am not the auctioneer. The real auctioneer is a Tier Earth demon slayer from the Demon Suppression Division. Perhaps this way, we can waive the deposit and reduce some of the commission"

This content is a continuation of the previous text.

Hearing this, Number Two fell silent.

The other party being a member of the Demon Suppression Division was completely beyond his expectations.

Meanwhile.

In terms of musical composition, it also presents a major challenge.

The Demon Slayer of the Underground!

It is clearly at least a congenital limit expert, and able to take out three master martial arts. The greater possibility is a master level expert.

In the Jianghu.

A master, by their very nature, holds an extraordinary position.

Here is the translation of the content within the > tags:

Moreover, adding the three characters "Town Demonic Bureau" to his title instilled fear and respect in others.

Although the auction house wields considerable power, it lacks the resources to oppose the Demon Suppression Division.

For a long time.

>

Second-in-command Zheng solemnly nodded his head.

“If it’s someone from the Demon Suppression Division, then the deposit can indeed be waived. As for the commission, the auction house could lower it appropriately and only charge 2 percent.”

"No problem."

He nodded in agreement.

>

One percent, compared to the previous four percent, is already half the reduction.

Then.

The second in command looked directly at Ji Qu, and said solemnly.

"I believe that no one would dare to impersonate the Demon Suppression Division and scam people!"

This is a continuation of the previous text.Please provide the context or the full text for accurate translation.

"Within the territory of Qin, who dares to impersonate someone from the Demon Suppression Division"

"I was just casually asking."

The second-in-command chuckled.

Within the territory of the Great Qin, no one dared to impersonate a member of the Demon Suppression Division.

In the black market, there are probably quite a few Heavenly Watchers.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Let's not talk about the black market.

Even within the auction house itself, there is a chance that members of the Heaven's Watch might be present. As long as they are around, no one dares to impersonate someone from the Demon Suppression Division.

> Some people have done this before.

However, the consequences can be severe, ranging from death to family annihilation.

Over time.

>

No one dares to cross the border anymore.

The second in command said, "If it were people from the Demon Suppression Office, publicity for this auction wouldn't be a problem. But if we could get a famous person to endorse it, that would be best!"

Although the other party is from the Demon Suppression Division.

But if the name can be ascertained clearly, it would be more secure.

The mere three words "Town Demon Office" could exempt the auction from a deposit and reduce the commission, acting as a guarantee. However, it's not just those three words that are enough; there needs to be a specific name.

Otherwise.

If something goes wrong, the Demon Suppression Division has so many people, who else can we turn to

He softly uttered a few words from the depths of his heart.

"Shen Changqing!"

"Shen Changqing!"

The second in command was taken aback, then reacted quickly, his face changing slightly.

"You're talking about Shen Changqing, the one who killed a barbarian general in the Great Desolation Mansion back in the day, right"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Really."

Upon hearing the precise answer, Number Two's heart was shaken even more violently.

Able to kill a barbarian general, the opponent was surprisingly a strong expert at the late stage of the Master realm.

Such a person.

>

In the martial arts world,

he is considered top-tier.

Even without the reputation of the Demon Suppression Bureau, it would be enough to serve as a guarantor at the black market auction.

If it is adorned with the name of the Demon Suppression Division, there will be no problem at all.

“I wonder if the martial arts being auctioned have a name”

"Temporarily unavailable."

“Alright, I understand. You can go back and wait for news. Within half a month, my auction house will do its best to spread the word. I also hope that you and others will arrive on time.”

And that's it.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The second-in-command took out two gold-plated name cards and placed them on the table.

“This is your access pass to the auction house. Please keep it safe. When you arrive, present this pass and a staff member will assist you.”

"Thank you."

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

The melody was concise and to the point. After putting away his pass, he got up.

"I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave."

"Your Excellency, farewell."

Number Two got up to see them off.

He didn't say anything, and just walked straight out of the private room.

>

After leaving the auction house, he changed his disguise again and quietly left the black market, returning to the Demon Suppression Division.

As for the music.

Shen Changqing, this is a big deal.

>

Once a deal is made, the amount involved can easily reach millions of taels.

So even if the other party gives a small percentage of their commission, it still adds up to quite a bit.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

While I was working at the Demon Slayer Hall, my monthly salary wasn't much.

If one could get an extra income, that would certainly be a good thing.

This is also why.

He was busy running around for Shen Changqing's sake.

Besides giving the other party some face, it can also be beneficial to oneself.

As the musician left.

In the auction house, Number Two official was the first to report the incident.

"Shen Changqing, from the Demon Suppression Division, is said to have only joined the division a few years ago, but he quickly rose to prominence, breaking through to the late stage of the Grandmaster realm. He must have received many opportunities during this period."

The three martial arts techniques of the Master he wanted to sell must have something to do with the opportunities he had received.

In the locked room, a middle-aged man identified as Number One in charge calmly spoke after hearing the other party's words.

Then.

He paused for a moment, then said again.

“Since it's his own karma, it's fine for us to auction it here. If he dares to privately sell martial arts from the Town Demon Division, we provided the place, which would become a big trouble.”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated! I'm happy to help.

Although who auctions what has little to do with the auction house.

If it truly involves the Zhen Mo Si's regulations, then it would be very difficult to escape their influence.

Therefore.

After understanding that the auctioneer was Shen Changqing, No. 1 manager did not have much worry.

The second in command said, "Since that's the case, we can start promoting it as well."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Let's promote it! The martial arts of the Three Gates Master will surely bring a lot of fame to the auction house. It's okay if we receive a little less in commission, we won't lose out."

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!f what the other party had said to her before, and he said in a deep voice: "Ancient ruins have always been hidden. Whenever one appears, it can attract countless cultivators from all races. Now there...
