After enjoying the food dishes and paying for it, Li Hao immediately went to his room and lay down on a soft mattress.
Li Hao stared at the ceiling of the room for a while before removing the red egg from his inventory.
"I've just come to this town, but I've been given trouble." Li Hao said as if to confide in the red egg in his hand, while the egg only trembled slightly in response, "Well, it is indeed annoying but I think there is no need to think any further. By the way, are you hungry?
The red egg shook again, but the tremors were louder than before. Li Hao who sensed that only smiled faintly, then got up and did a cross-legged position.
After which, Li Hao began to flow his Qi into the egg in his hand and the egg very quickly absorbed it. In less than an hour, most of his Qi had been successfully absorbed by that red egg.
When Li Hao wanted to put the egg back into the inventory, a small crack occurred in the red egg and at the same time the screen system appeared in front of him.
[Dig! Legendary beast eggs are almost hatched! Due to such incredible potential, the ability of 'Absorbing Aura' could be used right now!]
Li Hao was quite surprised to see the notification screen, there was no more detailed explanation regarding the ability but from the name he could roughly guess it.
"Hm, almost hatched, huh?" Li Hao muttered with a face that looked quite disappointed, "It seems you need more Qi intake until it can actually hatch, but I don't think doing that is easy."
Although quite disappointed because it did not hatch now, Li Hao still smiled because at least he knew that the egg was about to hatch.

When morning arrived, Li Hao immediately walked out of the inn to look for breakfast. He did not buy food at the inn because the place sold food at a price far more expensive than the market.
"Hoaaam... Though I sleep on a soft mattress, but why my body aches?" Li Hao wondered as he stretched his body, "Which way, what am I eating today?"
When Li Hao was thinking that, he accidentally smelled a nice scent from one of the streetside taverns. The store sells a variety of foods, but their utana menu is spicy seasoning beef satay.
"Hoo... It looks good." Li Hao smiled, then entered the tavern, "I think it's crowded, it's quiet."
Li Hao did not find many customers inside the tavern, he then sat at one of the empty tables and not long after that a fat man with a height exceeding two meters came to him.
"What do you want to eat?"
"Just prepare one main menu in this store, do not forget about the drink."
The fat man turned around without responding to Li Hao, he entered into a room and immediately closed the door.
"Something seems strange..." Li Hao muttered as he watched the not-so-crowded atmosphere of the tavern, "Why aren't the people here chatting to each other? Besides, there's no food on their table."
Li Hao momentarily thought about that before shaking his head slowly, he preferred not to care about it and thought about what kind of items he should buy today.
Less than twenty minutes after Li Hao waited for his order, finally the previous fat man walked out of the room and carried a sizable tray.
From the top of the tray, Li Hao could smell the delicious aroma of food.
"This is your order." said the fat man as he placed the tray on Li Hao's desk.
Li Hao only gave a small nod to respond, then immediately ate the food on the tray until it ran out. After that, he got up after finishing his breakfast and went to the cashier to pay for his food.
"One hundred gold coins."
At the moment the fat man replied thus, Li Hao immediately coughed softly in shock at the price.
"Basic crazy, where there's such expensive food!" Li Hao could not help but curse.
"If you don't want to pay, you have to accept the consequences."
A moment after the fat man said so, everyone in the tavern immediately stood up while taking out sharp weapons and looked at Li Hao with a gaze of Killing Intent.
"Is this some sort of robbery but under the guise of selling food? Aren't you all afraid of the rules of this city?" Li Hao narrowed his eyes, there was not the slightest trace of a fearful face he displayed.
"There is no regulation that prohibits merchants from selling their merchandise at high prices, it means that our store does not violate any rules at all." the fat man replied, saying, then he took out a machete from under the cashier's table, "And there are rules, whereby a trader may perform martial acts to a person who gives losses of any kind to the trader."
Li Hao was not aware of the rules because the rules that were on the notice board after he entered the city were only general rules that must be obeyed by temporary visitors.
"So this is extortion by using the law, huh?" li Hao said before letting out a long sigh, "Give me the normal price of the food I ordered or there is no payment at all for you guys."
"For a boy who is not a cultivator, you are really arrogant. It's a quick pay-off than you'll have to lose your life!" one of the fierce-looking men glared as he said so.
"Lost lives...? It's funny." Li Hao smiled faintly before an eight-star Golden Core aura seeped out from his body.
Everyone who pointed a weapon at Li Hao instantly froze with deathly pale faces, their bodies trembling with fear and not expecting that the young man in front of them was a cultivator at the Golden Core realm.
Keep in mind, almost all cultivators were able to read the cultivation bases of others who were below or above them up to eight stars. In other words, Li Hao's current cultivation base could only be read by cultivators at the one-star Golden Core realm.
However, a cultivator could also read the cultivation base of others who were far above him through the aura. However, this kind of ability is only owned by experienced people, and their number is not too much.
"It's a shame that we're in a city where someone like me can't kill the townspeople, but even if it can't kill you, I can make you all disabled in order to make this incident a valuable lesson." Li Hao smiled sinisterly, then turned his gaze to the fat man who seemed to be the shop owner, "Don't blame me, you chose this path so you also have to bear the risk."
"T-no... Don't do!" the fat man tried to move, but his fear was greater than that.
[Dig! Heal the shopkeeper's son from the black curse.]
[Gift: Normal level Dungeon Key.]
[Punishment Failed: Down 10 Levels.]
Li Hao, who had wanted to teach the fat man a little lesson, stopped and remained silent for a while.
"Huh...?" Li Hao slightly furrowed his brows, then looked at the fat man in front of him, "Do you have children?"
