I'm a body cultivator, so it's normal for me to destroy a star with one punch, right?

"........."

The aged face beneath the black robe visibly froze for a moment.

He had never encountered such a situation before.

However, considering that the young man in front of him was just a minor "body refinement grandmaster" and could not cause any trouble, he took out a specially made copper bell, shook it gently, and turned to walk forward.

"Forehead……"

What does this bell mean?
Are they corpse transporters?
Should I raise my hands and hop along?
Jiang He secretly changed his mind and mechanically stepped forward, following behind the old man in black robes.

The old man in black robes weaved through the streets and alleys, eventually entering through the back door of a brothel. There, he was greeted by a servant in blue robes and led through a portal to the underground.

"Is Anning City's black market underground?"

Rivers and streams "do not look to the side".

He "sensed" that the doorman was a rank 8 servant.

After entering the gate, there is a passageway more than three meters wide.

Every ten meters or so along both sides of the passageway, a brightly lit pearl is placed alternately to illuminate the passageway, making it as bright as day.

Walk along the passageway.

They quickly descended to a depth of about 50 meters underground.

Sudden.

A noisy sound came from ahead, and the passageway suddenly opened up, revealing a huge "underground palace" that looked like an underground city. This "underground palace black market" was extremely large, and looking up, one could even see stars and the bright moon.

of course.

These are not real stars and the moon, but rather something created using some kind of treasure or array formation.

Many warriors carrying swords and knives moved about inside the underground palace, and various shops were built on both sides of the palace.

The shops were wide open, and all kinds of businesses were operating.

In the open space in front of the shops, many martial artists set up stalls.

Jiang He even saw a martial artist at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.

He sat cross-legged behind the stall, closing his eyes to rest.

On the street stall, a pitiful-looking woman with a sexy figure and extremely beautiful face was tied up.

The woman had a pair of fluffy white ears and three white tails behind her. Many martial artists surrounded her stall, asking about prices.

"Three fox demons!"

"These three fox demons at the Celestial Realm level seem to have very pure bloodlines!"

"Excellent, truly excellent!"

"Brother, can we discuss the price again? This 1.5 million spirit crystals is too expensive; it's enough to buy a low-grade Dao weapon!"

One million five hundred thousand spirit crystals?

Is it so cheap?
Jiang He stopped and couldn't help but glance at the fox demon a few more times. Just as he was about to ask a question, the old man in black robes looked angry and stepped forward to shake the bell next to Jiang He's ear a few times.

Jiang He, annoyed by the shaking, turned to look at the old man in black robes and cursed, "Alright, damn it, stop shaking me! It's giving me a headache!"

The old man in black robes paled and exclaimed, "Impossible! Even a Celestial Realm expert would be affected by my Bewitching Incense... You... you were faking it all just now?"

"People have different physical constitutions."

Jiang He said, "I am a body-refining martial artist, so isn't it normal for me to have high poison resistance?"

"Since you led me to the black market, I won't hold it against you. You can leave now."

The river turns back.

He continued to look at the fox.

have to say……

This fox spirit is very charming.

Especially after she was tied up, the pitiful look in her eyes made people feel an irresistible urge to protect her... Jiang He was no exception!
That is, the Celestial Realm expert asked for too high a price.

One and a half million crystals is no small sum.

Most people in the Celestial Realm probably only have this much wealth; it's not something they can just casually take out.

"Damn it!"

Seeing Jiang He turn his head to continue watching the commotion, the old man in black robes was filled with rage and said coldly, "A mere Grandmaster of Body Refinement dares to be so insolent in front of me... Does he really think that I only have the Bewitching Incense as a means?"

brush!
He flipped his hand.

A poisoned dagger appeared in his palm.

The dagger gleamed with a chilling light as it was plunged towards Jiang He's back...

then.

Zheng!
A crisp clang of metal clashing rang out, and the expression on the old man's face froze instantly, then gradually transformed from disbelief to terror.

No……

No defense broken?
Is the physique of a Grandmaster of Body Refinement really that strong?
Jiang He frowned.

He turned around and slapped her across the face.

"Noisy!"

boom!
The black-robed elder, who was at the late stage of the Human Realm, was instantly turned into a pile of minced meat by that slap.

The surrounding martial artists were stunned. Even the Celestial Realm cultivator sitting cross-legged behind the stall couldn't help but open his eyes and look at Jiang He with curiosity.

Jiang He casually picked up the black-robed old man's storage ring and dagger, twirled the dagger in his hand a few times, and asked with a smile, "These three fox demons, priced at 150 million crystals?"

The Heavenly Phenomenon Realm nodded.

150 million crystals, available in rivers and lakes.

There are many places where we can spend money later, so we need to be careful with our spending. So Jiang He asked, "Shall we change it?"

The celestial realm warrior laughed and said, "As long as you can offer a sufficient price, we can naturally make an exchange."

"Forehead……"

A sufficient price?
Jiang He asked, "How about monster corpses? I killed some monster corpses, but I haven't processed them yet. Their essence blood hasn't been refined, so they should be worth some money."

With a wave of his hand, he took out the corpse of a Celestial Realm demon beast from his storage ring.

This is a bird-like monster.

The body appeared to be some kind of eagle, with a wingspan of over thirty meters, and its corpse exuded a faint aura of power.

"A late-stage Celestial Realm demon corpse?"

The Celestial Realm cultivator glanced at the demonic beast corpse Jiang He had retrieved, his gaze falling on the corpse's right wing, and asked, "Where's half a wing?"

"I grilled it and ate it."

Jiang He smacked his lips, seemingly savoring the taste, and said, "It tastes delicious."

Many martial artists around were stunned for a moment, then some laughed, while others were full of envy... How could the wings of a bird-like demon beast in the late stage of the Celestial Realm not taste good?

Tianxiangjing laughed and said, "This demon corpse is indeed quite valuable, but collecting materials and refining its essence will take a lot of effort. The final selling price may only be around 50,000 crystals."

"It took me a lot of effort to capture this three-tailed fox demon... She has just come of age and already has three tails. She may have the potential to grow to five or even six tails in the future."

The Celestial Realm expert glanced at Jiang He.

He gave a knowing look and laughed, "The key is that this three-tailed fox demon is still a virgin!"

This statement came out.

One of the onlookers, a martial artist at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, immediately brightened up and shouted, "150 million spirit crystals, I'll take it... Please wait for me for half an hour while I go and raise the money."

Jiang He looked over.

The person who spoke was quite old.

His back was hunched over. "You old fool, what do you want? I've already started talking about it, why are you interfering?"

Jiang He's eyes widened.

Although the elderly Celestial Realm cultivator didn't understand the meaning of "Old Deng," he could probably guess with his toes that it wasn't a good word. However, the incident of Jiang He slapping that "late-stage Celestial Realm cultivator" to death had just happened.

Even though he was at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, he still felt some apprehension.

They didn't directly retaliate.

The elderly Celestial Realm expert laughed and said, "Killing someone in the street is a taboo of the black market. Judging by the time, the law enforcement team will be here soon... Think about how to protect yourself."

"Oh?"

Jiang He's gaze shifted slightly.

as predicted.

The next moment, a series of footsteps rang out.

The crowd in front moved towards the two walls, only to see a group of "soldiers" dressed in black armor spreading out like a tide. There were twenty of them, each exuding the aura of the Celestial Realm, and they surrounded Jiang He.

then.

A tall figure wearing a brass mask stepped out from behind the circle of "soldiers," glanced at Jiang He and the bloody mud at his feet, and said indifferently, "You dare to kill someone in the street on my territory? You've got some nerve. Take him away!"

Wow!

Twenty Celestial Realm soldiers unleashed their spiritual weapons, their powerful auras merging together to intimidate the surrounding martial artists, causing them to retreat in fear.

Jiang He raised an eyebrow, his blood and qi surging outwards, transforming into a blood cloud around his body, preventing the Celestial Realm soldiers from getting close.

He glanced at the "Celestial Phenomenon Realm" commander and said, "He used bewitching incense to control me and tried to kill me. Am I not allowed to fight back?"

The Heavenly Phenomenon Realm Commander sneered, "If he had tried to kill you, I would have naturally punished him. But since you killed someone, of course I have to arrest you!"

Jiang He shook his head and said, "Your so-called law enforcement team is far too unreasonable."

"Ha ha!"

The Heavenly Phenomenon Realm Commander laughed loudly: "Here, I am the law, and my words are the reason. Make your move!"

boom!
Jiang He's qi and blood suddenly became several times stronger, blasting away the Celestial Realm soldiers. He said, "Don't rush. You can arrest them after I finish this deal."

He flipped his hand.

Boom!

The earth trembled, and a massive carcass of a fish-dragon appeared in the open space.

The demonic corpse of the Fish-Dragon Realm was over a hundred meters long. Its body had been pierced through by Jiang He's punch, and the blood was still wet. Even in death, it exuded a strong demonic aura and pressure.

The Celestial Realm cultivator, who was furious and ready to attack because Jiang He had sent twenty members of the "Celestial Realm" enforcement team flying, suddenly changed his expression and abruptly extinguished the divine power he was about to unleash in his sleeve.

Snapped!
His cuffs were completely shredded.

The surrounding martial artists were intimidated by the aura of the demonic corpse and retreated in fear.

Even the pitiful three-tailed fox demon was taken aback.

"This is……"

"The demon king of the Jade Pool in Kunlun Ruins?"

"That's it!"

A martial artist recognized the demonic corpse and said, "My master died in the Azure Pool. I once saw that demon king from afar. It was in the mid-stage of the Fish-Dragon Realm, with powerful demonic arts and boundless supernatural abilities. I never expected it to turn into a corpse today!"

The martial artist suddenly knelt down and wailed, "Master, did you see that?"

"Your disciple has avenged you!"

The surrounding martial artists immediately dispersed.

Oh shit!

That demon king wasn't killed by you, so why are you howling?

The Celestial Realm cultivator who had been sitting cross-legged behind the stall suddenly stood up, looked at the mountain-sized demon corpse, and asked, "Does Your Excellency intend to exchange this Fish-Dragon Realm demon corpse for the Three-Tailed Fox Demon?"

Jiang He asked, "How is it? Is it enough?"

The Celestial Realm cultivator arrived beside the demon corpse and said, "I need to examine it... The value of a demon corpse at the Fish-Dragon Realm level varies greatly depending on whether it is intact or not!"

The question here is about "completeness" or "incompleteness".

It wasn't about the wound on the corpse, but whether the demon corpse's essence and core were still there.

Jiang He said, "Don't worry, I killed this demon corpse with my own hands four days ago, and its demon core and essence blood are all still there."

These words caused a look of astonishment to flash in the eyes of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm expert.

After examining it carefully, he said, "The complete corpse of a mid-stage Fish-Dragon Realm demon king is worth more than a million spirit stones, and even if it is not much less than 1.5 million spirit stones, it is not far off... As long as you are willing to part with it, I am willing."

"That's fine."

Jiang He waved his hand and said, "Changed."

That day, Xiangjing hurriedly put away the demon corpse and quickly disappeared into the black market... clearly afraid of being targeted.

Jiang He then arrived in front of the three-tailed fox demon.

The three-tailed fox demon regained her pitiful appearance. She knew in her heart that she was powerless against Jiang He with her cultivation level, so she said in a coquettish voice, "I hope you will take pity on me, young master."

Jiang He nodded.

He immediately grabbed the three-tailed fox demon, hoisted the bound fox demon onto his shoulder, and then looked at the Celestial Realm "commander" and said, "You can arrest me now."

Tian Xiangjing stepped forward and said solemnly, "My lord, I have already inquired with the martial artists who were watching, and it was indeed that blind fool who attacked first... My lord, you were only acting in self-defense, why would we arrest you?"

He said with righteous indignation, "Our law enforcement team always adheres to the law and pursues fairness. Your Excellency was attacked in my territory, which is the result of my inadequate patrol... Please come to my place, so that I can express my gratitude as an apology."

This change in attitude...

It's very comforting.

no way.

Jiang He casually unleashed his qi and blood, instantly sending 20 Celestial Realm "soldiers" flying. The demon corpses he pulled out at will were all at the Fish-Dragon Realm level, and he even claimed to have "killed them four days ago"...

Regardless of whether this statement is true or false.

This at the very least means that behind this mysterious body cultivator, there is at least one powerful expert capable of hunting down mid-stage Fish-Dragon Realm cultivators!
Such a powerful figure is probably unmatched in the entire Beishan County. How could a mere "black market" law enforcement team leader dare to offend him?

Jiang He gave the "Celestial Phenomenon Realm" commander a serious look and said, "Lead the way."

soon.

Jiang He then followed this "Celestial Realm" to a secluded courtyard.

That day, Xiang Jing sent over a table of fine wine and food, warmly entertaining Jiang He and asking him all sorts of questions, trying to find out Jiang He's identity.

Jiang He drank a cup of wine, casually untied the ropes binding the three-tailed fox demon, and said, "You don't need to ask about my identity. The reason I came with you is to ask you for a favor."

"You must be someone from the government, right?"

"I want to go to the Central Region."

"Is there any way to set off as soon as possible?"

Jiang He inquired about it.

To travel to the Central Region alone via the teleportation array, the one-time fee is approximately six to seven million spirit crystals, equivalent to four or five fish-dragon realm demon corpses!

When you're out and about.

Every little bit saved counts.

After pondering for a moment, Tianxiangjing's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "There really is a way... The Holy Son of the Eastern Region Holy King will be celebrating his 800th birthday on the 15th of this month. It is said that the Holy Son is a master of swordsmanship and is extremely fond of swordsmanship."

"For his birthday celebration, he has prepared a [Swordsmanship Tournament]."

"Achieving a top-ten finish in the [Sword Dao Tournament] will grant you the opportunity to train for three years at the Heavenly Sword Sect of the Central Region Dynasty... If you perform exceptionally well, you might even be accepted as a true disciple by the Heavenly Sword Sect!" (End of Chapter)
