Ming Zhitian felt his body swell like a balloon, but outwardly, he remained calm and unchanged.
Without overthinking, he took their tokens to complete the quest: "Two Storage Bags from Peak Heaven Realm powerhouses, bottles and jars, good stuff, plus twenty million Divine Martial Coins. Excellent."
It only took one day to deal with two Peak Heaven Realm powerhouses. Truly unprecedented.
The next day, returning to submit the quest, the administrator looked at Ming Zhitian in astonishment: "Junior Ming... who exactly are you?"
Ming Zhitian returned the two Emperor-level tokens, collected eight million, and got back two million in deposit. He now had thirty million in his storage bag, enough to buy a courtyard house.
Ming Zhitian smiled slightly and waved his hand: "Just got lucky."
Who would believe it? The administrator listed Ming Zhitian as a super VIP in the Bounty Pavilion: "King Ming Xiu, please take care!"
From then on, Ming Zhitian's reputation exploded overnight! Everyone knew that he, at the first level of the Asura Realm, had eliminated the two second-level Peak Heaven Realm cultivators, Pi Zhizhai of the Old Immortal Sect and Hong Luozhang of the Pseudo-Demon Sect, in one day.
As Ming Zhitian left the Bounty Pavilion, he felt his stomach caved in to an alarming degree, as if a normal person hadn't eaten for three days.
He almost fainted to the ground, suppressing his hunger and heading to a restaurant to find food.
He happened to arrive at a fast-food restaurant. He saw the boss holding a cleaver, tossing ingredients into the air! Roast goose and white-cut chicken flew through the air. He saw the knife but not the hand; the swift blade was like lightning!
After several chops, what he thought was a double-topping rice turned out to be a five-topping rice!
The speed of his knife was truly as fast as lightning. While it seemed only roast goose and white-cut chicken were visible, in fact, roast pork, char siu, and pig's trotters were also mixed in. Five varieties of exquisite roasted meats fell onto a bowl of rice, with greens on the side. Then, a soul-stirring sauce was poured over it, truly fragrant for a hundred miles and endlessly flavorful.
Ming Zhitian also ordered a five-topping rice. A "Cosmic Shift" bowl flew over! It landed gently and stably on the table, followed by the five-topping roasted meats covering the rice.
A truly kung fu meal! But for some reason, Ming Zhitian didn't feel like eating it: "Is this something humans eat?"
Ming Zhitian was dazed. He didn't eat a bite, placed one hundred Divine Martial Coins down, and left.
In his eyes, he had just placed them down, but to the boss, a Divine Martial Coin flew rapidly through the table, and the entire table shattered with a crack!
"Looking for trouble?!" The waiter grabbed his weapon, ready to chase.
The boss quickly put down his cleaver: "Don't chase. He's a master. We can't afford to offend him."
The waiter's cold sweat poured down: "Yes... Boss."
Ming Zhitian, smelling the fragrance, vaguely searched for that scent.
He found the Pill Pavilion. At this time, the people of the Pill Pavilion were about to get off work, with only one person left on duty.
Ming Zhitian, taking advantage of their inattention, leaped lightly into the Pill Pavilion. The gatekeeper was actually patrolling. Ming Zhitian had no choice but to hide in a corner, enduring his hungry stomach, waiting for the deep night to strike.
Night... Until late at night, the Pill Pavilion closed, and not a soul remained.
Ming Zhitian emerged from the corner and went to the main Pill Pavilion. There was no shortage of tenth-grade pills here. Although hundred-grade pills were rare, they were enough for him to fill his stomach.
For some reason, he desperately needed these pills to fill his hunger: "Imperial Artifact Art!"
All the cabinets in the main Pill Pavilion opened! Ming Zhitian commanded all sorts of pills to descend from the air. He opened his mouth and stuffed piles of them inside.
...
Unknowingly, he ate all the pills in the main Pill Pavilion.
He still felt not full. He rummaged through his own storage bag and consumed all the tenth-grade and hundred-grade pills he had just obtained from Pi Zhizhai and Hong Luozhang.
After eating the pills, he still felt unsatisfied. He left the now empty Pill Pavilion.
Unknowingly, a strange intuition led him to Nine Heavens Mountain, where he had previously encountered the Heaven Swallowing Beast.
