"Little brother, you’re quite the businessman, let take a look... huh, what’s this?"
She saw a square box with a flat rectangular box inside.
The box within a box made the female cultivator furrow her brow again.
Yet she did not rush but carefully took out the flat box, found the opening, and opened it.
What happened next was beyond the female cultivator’s expectations.
As soon as the lid was opened, a strong and domineering aroma of at imdiately wafted toward her.
To what extent is this aroma enchanting?
To describe it, it was as if soone who hadn’t eaten in ten days suddenly slled food.
Even an immortal would change their expression upon slling it!
The rich and domineering aroma stunned the female cultivator, and her mind went blank for a mont.
After a while, passersby and vendors all began to exclaim: "Huh, what’s this?"
"Where is this aroma coming from? It’s so enticing..."
So straightforward cultivators even said in an instant, "Oh my, where’s this sll coming from? It’s so aromatic it’s going to make my tongue fall off!"
"Could it be a master spirit chef has arrived at the Hundred Battles Ruins?"
"Make way, quickly make way, let see what this fragrant thing really is."
"Ouch!"
Suddenly, there was a gasp.
Soone muttered angrily: "Why are you pushing? You impertinent thing, don’t know manners!"
It turned out there was a scuffle at the end of the street.
In an instant, various chaotic and noisy sounds filled the female cultivator’s ears.
The female cultivator suddenly realized and turned her gaze, finally seeing what was inside the food box.
First, she saw a clean white porcelain plate, then so crystal-clear, thin-as-a-cicada’s-wing dried at slices cut into squares, placed at an angle in the center of the plate.
Next to it were two bright red spirit fruits like jewels.
Of course, at that mont, it was not the spirit fruits emitting the rich and domineering aroma, but the dried at in the center of the plate.
The combination of the white porcelain plate, red spirit fruits, and translucent crimson dried at created a vibrant visual and olfactory impact for the female cultivator.
She couldn’t help but swallow her saliva.
Gulp —
Gluggle!
She heard a heavy swallowing sound and a loud rumbling from a stomach.
However, these were not sounds from the female cultivator.
It was the male cultivator next to her whose stomach was rumbling, as he leaned in, breathing heavily and swallowing his saliva.
Seeing he’s about to get close to her food box, the female cultivator suddenly had an epiphany, realizing what she should do at this mont.
She imdiately said, "Senior brother, the Celestial Secret Box truly lives up to its na."
The male cultivator froze, intending to respond that the Celestial Secret Box had no reputation since it was the first ti they heard of it.
Yet, the female cultivator reached out her slender hand, ignoring cleanliness entirely, and grabbed the dried at in the center of the plate, stuffing it into her mouth.
She really did "stuff" it, and the description was truly accurate.
Because she grabbed all the dried at in one go and didn’t leave a single slice.
She opened her mouth and began eagerly chewing.
She ate quickly, huffing and puffing.
She couldn’t describe how delicious what she was eating truly was.
But just from her ecstatic expression at the mont, and the joy that looked as if her soul had flown out into the sky, one could tell what a marvelous thing she was enjoying.
The male cultivator was utterly stunned.
He had never seen his junior sister devour food like this before.
Although his junior sister can be sowhat spoiled, she never indulged in gluttony.
More importantly, his junior sister ate all the dried at on that plate in one gulp!
The male cultivator couldn’t even swallow his saliva, he could only point at the female cultivator, incredulous and disappointed, "Junior sister, why are you like this..."
Finally, he saw his junior sister swallow the last piece of dried at.
Then she began to cry: "I-I ate them all in one go? Such, such delicious food, and I ate it all in one go?"
The female cultivator really cried, and then suddenly shouted: "Quick, little brother, give ten more... no, I want twenty more Celestial Secret Boxes, give twenty more Celestial Secret Boxes!"
Ji Yang was also stunned.
He was almost overwheld by the rich aroma as well.
But the female cultivator’s bold request for twenty Celestial Secret Boxes shocked him, sending chills down his spine and delighting him.
Ji Yang was about to happily respond.
Unexpectedly, a large crowd suddenly rushed over from the side.
"It’s here! The source of the aroma is here!"
"Huh, this isn’t a Spiritual Food stall, is there a spirit chef here?"
"Let tell you all, I was right next to it earlier and saw clearly, they’re not selling Spiritual Food here, the vendor is only selling Celestial Secret Boxes.
And inside the Celestial Secret Boxes, various talismans and elixirs might appear, or there might be Spiritual Food."
"This, this... isn’t this just gambling on boxes?"
"How can you call it gambling on boxes? It’s about testing fate..."
"Hahaha, it’s here, I didn’t miss it. Quick, quick, ten Celestial Secret Boxes, I need ten too... no, five, five Celestial Secret Boxes!"
...
The Celestial Secret Box suddenly seed to be on the brink of becoming extrely popular.
But apart from the initial female cultivator buying twenty in one go, only a young cultivator with a sword on his back later purchased ten Celestial Secret Boxes.
Afterward, a few others chose to buy the Celestial Secret Boxes, while most were just joining the commotion.
Even though their enthusiasm was evident from their words, in reality, because they were cultivators, their willpower surpassed that of ordinary people, and they wouldn’t easily lose their heads.
A single Qi Radiance Pill for a Celestial Secret Box wasn’t cheap, after all, and people weren’t foolish enough to squander money casually.
As for the stack of dried at initially pulled out by the female cultivator.
That was actually special wild boar jerky Chen Xu made this morning, with spirit rice ground into a paste added during preparation, making it Spiritual Food.
Additionally, Chen Xu had sprinkled so Hundred Evils Fruit Powder into the mix.
Upon arriving at the Hundred Battles Ruins, he had anticipated various possibilities, which is why he specially prepared so foods with Hundred Evils Fruit Powder added.
Unbeknownst to him, the female cultivator drew just those.
In fact, not all Spiritual Foods in the food boxes on the stall contained Hundred Evils Fruit Powder.
Chen Xu’s supply of Hundred Evils Fruit Powder was indeed limited.
Though a little powder can have a big effect, over ti, regardless of how little is added each ti, it would eventually run out.
