I conquered the cultivation world with scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

"Ah, you little bitch, how dare you hit me!"

Old Xu immediately clutched his groin, his face pale, as he was in pain and furious. The effects of the alcohol wore off, and he became completely sober.

Seeing that his first attack had failed to knock Old Man Xu down, Jiang He kicked him again.

The shoe whistled through the air and kicked Old Man Xu in the face.

The mud from the soles of his shoes brushed against his face, and Old Man Xu, who had just lost most of his strength from the attack, tilted his head and a tooth fell out.

Jiang He remained silent, and seized the opportunity to deliver brutal punches.

Jiang He knew how to hit people with skill; she knew exactly where to land the most painful punch.

Before long, the anger on Old Xu's face had completely turned into pain:

"You hit me, my boss will never let you get away with this!"

Old Man Xu shouted loudly.

Jiang He remained silent. Suddenly, he kicked the object away, sending it grazing the table and chairs.

Seeing Jiang He beating Old Man Xu like this, the onlookers remained silent, just like before.

This time, the discussion grew louder, and they looked at Jiang He and whispered amongst themselves:

"Old Xu is under Brother Jin's command. This female cultivator is so ruthless. She probably doesn't know who's in charge of Area A."

"He must be a newbie who just arrived and offended Brother Jin. He's in for a rough time."

"Brother Jin always favors his subordinates. It's a pity. It's one thing for the newcomers not to know the rules, but even Athena doesn't know the rules."

"Athena is just a mortal, I don't know what she's doing in the black market."

"To make money, what else can I do?"

During their conversation, some of them, who had always disliked Old Man Xu's behavior, kept glancing at Jiang He when they saw him being beaten.

"To be honest, although I know that Old Man Xu has connections, this guy is really incorrigible. He's a womanizer, and he's shamelessly ruined countless innocent girls."

"Old Man Xu must have provoked this female cultivator because she looked unfamiliar, but he didn't expect to be caught this time."

"Old Xu deserves to be punished. I agree with what this man did; it was too satisfying."

"Yes, he deserved it!"

"Alright, alright, everyone stop talking, Brother Jin is here."

……

Jin Dalong frowned as he listened to his subordinates recount the trouble caused by Old Man Xu. His temples throbbed with pain; this was the third time this month.

Jin Dalong led two or three people toward the auction house.

Jin Dalong's entire body is covered in black tattoos, with a vicious snake coiled on his left arm and a tiger-like tattoo on his right upper arm.

He was a burly man, and when he glanced at everyone, they fell silent.

"Who caused trouble at the auction?"

Although Jin Dalong's tone was questioning, after looking around, he fixed his gaze on Jiang He.

Jiang He wiped her hands, then helped Zhang San up and headed towards the door.

Jin Dalong glanced at Jiang He, who was about to leave, and gestured for the person next to him to come forward.

The male cultivator next to Jin Dalong strode up to Jiang He in one go:

"Miss, don't be in such a hurry to leave. My master invites you."

—One hour ago—

"Suddenly I felt hopeless about life. I was destined to be a beast of burden. Working on weekdays wasn't enough; I also had to work on the black market."

A girl wearing a sun hat wailed as she looked at the items being delivered for verification.

The other woman beside her showed no emotional reaction; Xiaoqing lowered her head slightly.

"Come on, think of it this way: I remember you are a Golden Core cultivator, right? The lifespan of a Golden Core cultivator is 400-500 years, so you'll have to continue being a beast of burden for over 400 years."

Xiaoqing's hands moved swiftly, like a seasoned courier sorting packages, as she slowly used her wind-elemental energy to carry the items into the inspection box:

"Does thinking about it this way make you feel a little happier?"

Liu Hong was speechless after hearing Xiao Qing's words:

"Thinking about it this way makes me feel even worse."

"At least the money is more. We work part-time at school, but nothing beats the speed at which we make money on the black market."

"The fastest way to make money is through black market tournaments. We can only earn a little extra cash here... Wait, what's this?"

Liu Hong paused, ending her conversation, and looked at the report on the screen with some surprise.

Before she could react, Xiaoqing leaned forward and quickly turned on the device.

A delicious aroma of food wafted out.

Liu Hong stared intently at the instrument's test report, her gaze drawn to the last few lines.

"Product 'Wolf Fang Potato': After testing, the product attribute is low-grade second-tier spiritual food, rarity: 10%"

When Liu Hong saw the words, she exclaimed excitedly:

"Ah, even the black market in our Shanyang City has spirit food? Which alchemist sent it? My goodness."

Liu Hong couldn't help but swallow as she smelled the aroma of food wafting in the air.

Xiaoqing was surprised and used her spiritual energy to pick out the item with the number sy separately.

This dish is packaged in a food box. When the instrument is testing it, a portion of the sample will be taken for analysis. What is now in front of the two of them is a dish that is perfect in color, aroma and taste.

Liu Hong's eyes widened, and suddenly she thought of something. She quickly opened the computer she used for work and entered the product number.

"Incredible, 100 servings of spiritual food, and there's another package here waiting to be tested."

"Liu Hong, bring the package here and inspect the goods this person brought first."

"Row."

The wolf tooth potatoes and milk tea brought by Jiang He were sent to the instrument for testing one after another.

When the latter's test results came out, Liu Hong turned on the instrument herself without waiting for Xiao Qing to do so.

"Damn, it's a low-grade level 3. That's even higher than that wolf-tooth potato from before."

"Who is this guy, Hongmu? Do we have an alchemist like him in the black market?"

"No, stop guessing, report it immediately."

"Row."

Liu Hong quickly contacted Yan Zhen, the person in charge of Black Market Area A.

Just as Liu Hong made the contact, Yan Zhen arrived at the testing agency through the teleportation portal.

"Preliminary instrument analysis indicates the delivered goods are spiritual food?"

"That's right, boss, this is the test report."

Yan Zhen looked at the report and immediately sent the goods to the alchemist Gray Rock for testing.

Gray Rock is a Nascent Soul stage alchemist. They had been searching the black market for Nascent Soul stage alchemists for several years before Gray Rock finally agreed to come.

After all, alchemists at the Nascent Soul stage can already refine the pills needed for Nascent Soul cultivation.

Gray Rock glanced at the spiritual food that had been delivered before taking out a pair of chopsticks.

Like elixirs, some spiritual foods require authentication upon consumption.

Gray Rock took only one bite of the wolf tooth potato, and his expression showed some surprise.

The dishes before me didn't seem like spiritual food at all, because they were simply delicious.

Even though Gray Rock, who had already reached the Nascent Soul stage, didn't need to eat at all, he was still surprised by the taste of the wolf tooth potato.

Gray Rock silently scooped up another spoonful of potato and put it in his mouth.

Crispy and fragrant.

Gray Rock glanced at Wolf Fang Potato with lingering interest, then noticed the changes in the spiritual energy within his body.
