Pirated Immortals in the World of Spirit Weapons

Chapter 23 The Black Market and Arms Dealers in Jinfeng Town

Zhu Que followed Xiao Cai into the depths of the shop, and after passing through three doors, his eyes were suddenly opened to a bright light.

It was a room with a dim reddish light.

The room was in a mess, with various disassembled magical artifact parts and discarded boxes piled up in the corners.

Several men were drinking and bragging around a broken table, while on the other side, a few people were playing mahjong with their arms bare, and in the corner, someone was playing video games with headphones on.

In the center of the room, a bald man with an unusually large build was standing inside a silver-gray hull.

The cabin vibrated incessantly, red lights flashed, the man's muscles bulged and contracted, and sweat streamed down his back.

That is……

Zhu Que immediately took a liking to that magical artifact.

It seemed to be a magical artifact specifically designed to stimulate muscles and strengthen the body.

However, this kind of magical artifact is not suitable for him for the time being, since he needs a slender physique to conceal his cultivation progress.

"Is this Boss Meng?" Zhu Que asked in a low voice.

"Shh!"

Xiao Cai gestured for him to be quiet, then walked past the bald man and headed to the corner of the room.

She addressed the figure playing video games respectfully, "Boss Meng, I'd like to discuss a collaboration with you."

This person is Boss Meng...

Zhu Que was slightly taken aback and carefully observed the figure.

The man was slightly thin and wore a large hooded jacket, making him appear as if he were shrouded in shadow.

He was manipulating the game controller with lightning-fast hand speed, but his emotions were unusually volatile.

"Fuck your mother, you piece of trash! I'll kill your whole family!!"

Xiao Cai waited quietly to the side, without urging or showing impatience, as if she had already gotten used to it.

soon--

"Clatter!"

The game controller was slammed heavily onto the table.

Meng Laoda spat angrily, pulled off his hood, and turned to look at Xiao Cai.

"Oh, it's Xiao Cai. What's going on over there? Why did you suddenly decide to cooperate with me?"

This moment.

Zhu Que was slightly taken aback when he saw the face under the hood.

This Boss Meng is actually a woman.

She had rugged features, unusually rough skin, two hideous scars on her cheeks, and her left eye was completely black.

"Boss Meng, something happened to me, and I got fired from the company," Xiao Cai said helplessly.

"Damn it, I contacted you time and time again before, and you always made excuses and refused to talk to me. Now that you've been fired from your company, you've remembered me?"

Old Meng rolled his eyes in annoyance.

Xiao Cai chuckled awkwardly, "Boss Meng, I was ungrateful before, but this time I genuinely want to make money with you."

"What connections do you have?" Boss Meng casually lit a cigarette.

"I have a stable supply channel for pirated magical artifacts."

"What pirated magical artifact?"

"First-tier Spirit Gathering Silk".

Xiao Cai explained, "We can supply about fifty a day. Although these Spirit Gathering Silks are mostly flawed and will deplete your Qi and Blood with continued use, their Spirit Gathering effect is exactly the same as genuine Spirit Weapons, and the price is acceptable..."

"Forget it."

Before Xiao Cai could finish speaking, Boss Meng interrupted her, flicking his cigarette ash and saying casually:

"The large corporations are keeping a very close eye on cultivation-related spiritual artifacts. It's too risky and not worth it to ship them out in large quantities through me."

Xiao Cai hesitated for a moment, then cautiously asked, "Boss Meng, what type of magical artifact do you want?"

"You definitely can't supply what I need."

Why don't you tell me?

"Look, this is the kind of business I'm in now."

Meng Laoda reached out and grabbed the remote control, then pressed a button.

With a dull thud, the TV cabinet behind her spun around, revealing a room with several rows of display cabinets.

Zhu Que's eyes widened immediately.

He was shocked to see that what was displayed in those cabinets were rows of cold, hard-edged firearms and magical weapons!

Pistols, submachine guns, rifles... every firearm gleamed with a cold light interwoven with metal and array patterns.

This moment.

Zhu Que immediately understood—

No wonder this Boss Meng looks down on spiritual artifacts like the Spirit Gathering Silk; it turns out she's actually in the arms business!

"Did you see that?"

Boss Meng chuckled softly and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke.

"I stopped touching those first-tier minor spiritual artifacts a long time ago. They're low-profit, high-risk, and not worth it at all."

"I see……"

Xiao Cai scratched her head awkwardly and said helplessly, "Then, Boss Meng, we won't bother you any longer. Goodbye."

As she spoke, she tugged at Zhu Que, signaling him to leave with her.

however.

Zhu Que remained motionless. Just as Xiao Cai was filled with doubt, he took half a step forward and said:

"Boss Meng, we can actually supply these kinds of firearms and magical weapons."

The air fell silent for a moment.

Xiao Cai stared wide-eyed at Zhu Que in shock. His factory could even counterfeit firearms and magical artifacts?

"you?"

Meng Laoda narrowed his eyes slightly.

Xiao Cai immediately suppressed her shock and replied:

"Boss Meng, he's the supplier representative I found. He's reliable, trustworthy, and absolutely safe!"

"Oh?"

Meng Laoda immediately became interested and asked, "Tell me what you mean."

Zhu Que calmly said, "We have readily available machine tools and many skilled craftsmen. As long as you provide the original, we can replicate most spiritual artifacts, including military-type spiritual artifacts."

Boss Meng raised an eyebrow: "Are you sure?"

Zhu Que said confidently, "Of course I'm sure."

"good!"

After a brief silence, Boss Meng pointed to the small room.

"Go in and see what you can copy. We'll talk about the price after you've successfully copied it."

Zhu Que entered the room.

Observing the rows of firearms and magical weapons up close, one can feel a chilling and murderous aura emanating from them.

Zhu Que's heartbeat quickened involuntarily.

He knew very well that survival did not necessarily depend on cultivation level; one could also rely on offensive or defensive magical artifacts.

These firearms and magical weapons are exactly the kind of things that allow low-level cultivators to kill high-level cultivators even if they are beyond their level.

It is also a magical artifact that he desperately needs right now!

Zhu Que looked around, his hand sweeping over each of the firearms and magical weapons. When his fingertips touched the cold metal casings, each one displayed a "Unknown magical weapon detected" message.

Zhu Que finally picked up a black pistol.

"Boss Meng, if you trust me, I'll take this gun and test it out. I can give you an answer in about three days."

Most of these firearms are first-tier spiritual weapons. Although they can be analyzed quickly, he will definitely have to take them back to show off.

"Of course I trust you, after all, you were the one Xiao Cai recommended."

Meng Laoda glanced at Xiao Cai, then smiled and tilted his head.

"Don't worry, Boss Meng. If this gun isn't returned to you intact in three days, we'll compensate you three times the amount!"

Xiao Cai immediately made a promise.

"Then take it back and study it." Boss Meng nodded and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"That's all, Boss Meng. We'll come back to visit again in three days."

"Then I'll be waiting for your good news!"

Old Meng smiled, a cigarette dangling from his lips.

Then.

Zhu Que followed Xiao Cai and left the Wildfire Shop.

After walking a distance, Xiao Cai raised her hand to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead.

"Can your factory really replicate firearms and magical weapons? If we mess this up, my reputation with Boss Meng will be completely ruined."

"Of course," Zhu Que said calmly, "but the counterfeit firearms will most likely have flaws."

"Flaws are fine, as long as they are not unacceptable, there are plenty of people who will buy these firearms and magical artifacts."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Cai breathed a sigh of relief.

After leaving the black market, the two parted ways in Jinfeng Town, while Zhu Que secretly analyzed the magical pistol.

[Analysis successful!]

[Type 05 Pistol: Tier 1, Iron. Loaded with Crimson Fire Spirit Stones, it can be activated with spiritual energy to fire rapid-fire bullets.]

[Requirements for replicating: 2 Tier 1 Iron items, 1 Tier 1 Stone item]

Upon seeing the demand for counterfeit goods, Zhu Que immediately returned to the junkyard and used three damaged items to create a counterfeit handgun.

[Successfully replicated!]

[Rapid Clearance Type 05 Pistol: Tier 1, Iron. Loaded with Crimson Fire Spirit Stones, it can be activated with spiritual energy to fire rapid-fire bullets.]

[Side effect: After firing ten consecutive rounds, there is a 99.9% probability that two rounds will misfire.]

Oh?

This side effect...

The impact was far less than he had anticipated!

As long as those two misfires are treated as "pulling the trigger to reload" in actual combat, they will hardly have any fatal impact.

After all, firing ten shots in a row is quite a lot. Even a genuine handgun needs to stop firing intermittently to cool the chamber.

These side effects are well within acceptable limits.
