“Bleeeuuurrrggghh…”
From the Netherworld Ship, Gongshu Ban stretched out his head with a pale face and retched, but there was nothing to vomit again.
He felt seasick throughout the whole journey, and now, he could feel the familiar aura of the first layer of the Immortal Cooking Realm.
Gongshu Ban couldn’t help but crawl out from the Netherworld Ship. However, he turned over and fell in the process.
A surprised uproar rang out underneath as the crowd surrounding Immortal Chef Little Store, which was so congested that a drop of water wouldn’t slip through, opened up and formed a gap.
With a thud, Gongshu Ban fell on the hard ground.
Gongshu Ban suddenly had the urge to cry but failed to summon any tears.
Bu Fang frowned and stared doubtfully at the crowd below him.
Immortal Chef Little Store was not so famous. Although there were many customers in the past, it had never been as crowded as it was today. This was the result after halting business for a few days.
Did something happen?
Suddenly, the people underneath turned toward the Netherworld Ship and spotted Bu fang.
With arms crossed, Bu Fang stood in front of the Netherworld Ship, his Vermillion Robe fluttering in the wind.
After spotting Bu Fang, the crowd exploded into an uproar, and their cheers surged up violently.
“Wow!”
“A majestic hero! Like a god who had descended! He’s so bright and dazzling!”
“It’s Bu Fang, the top monstrous talent of our first layer! He ranked first at the Immortal Chef Tournament!”
An Immortal Chef in the crowd exclaimed in excitement. With so many people talking at the same time, the cheers from the crowd turned to a reverberating din, blaring into the skies.
Since the news that Bu Fang won first place had spread, the entire first layer was in awe.
First place in the Immortal Chef Tournament…
What did this mean?
The Immortal Cooking Realm had five levels in total. In the previous Immortal Chef Tournament, the strongest monstrous talent of the first layer didn’t even reach the top one hundred.
However, Bu Fang brought the first place trophy back to them!
This was the result after he defeated all the monstrous talents of the Immortal Cooking Realm!
A first layer Immortal Chef… Since when did he get to this level of monstrous talent, subduing all other monstrous talents in all five layers?
It was even said that the monstrous talent of the fifth layer had condensed the Heart of Cooking Path!
That monstrous talent was almost impossible to defeat, but Bu Fang won!
No matter how he had achieved his victory, Bu fang won!
Moreover, such a victory brought honor to the first layer of the Immortal Cooking Realm, which was the most important part.
Later, many resources would be distributed to the first layer, which would enable them to cultivate more monstrous talents!
Thus, the turning point for the rise of the first layer of the Immortal Cooking Realm came closer!
With all these benefits, how could these Immortal Chefs not be excited?
Without regard for the time, they crowded in front of Immortal Chef Little Store, waiting for their hero’s return.
Finally, Bu Fang stood on the Netherworld Ship.
Their hero returned, leaving all the Immortal Chefs overwhelmed with emotions!
Bu Fang still didn’t know the purpose of these people. He frowned and alighted from the ship.
Xixi felt a little scared after seeing so many people. She clung to Bu Fang’s thigh, her eyes were spinning around.
Bu Fang was naturally indifferent as he stepped into the restaurant.
As he walked, the other Immortal Chefs frantically and voluntarily cleared a path for him.
When Bu Fang stepped on the stone steps of Immortal Chef Little Store, many Immortal Chefs suddenly shouted in unison, seemingly like a thunderclap, “Hero!”
Bu Fang was stunned. Then, he hurriedly opened the doors and rushed in, unable to bear such enthusiasm.
After that, the news that Bu Fang had returned quickly disseminated to the entire first layer of the Immortal Cooking Realm.
…
In the Tong family residence, Tong Wudi was seated on a high seat.
His face was unsightly, and his lips were trembling.
Bu Fang had come back. He won first place in the Immortal Chef Tournament and brought back supreme glory for the first layer.
Tong Wudi hadn’t thought that the trivial Immortal Chef from the world of mortals could obtain first place in the Immortal Chef Tournament.
Were the monstrous talents of the fifth layer eating sh*t?!
He clenched his fists tightly, feeling somewhat powerless.
He really had no way to deal with Bu Fang.
Confronting him with strength?
Bu Fang had Lord Dog.
Make him lose his reputation?
Bu Fang won first place in the Immortal Chef Tournament…
Seal his restaurant?
Impossible… That weird restaurant could even withstand an attack from a City Lord!
Because of a chef from the world of mortals, Tong Wudi felt really helpless!
What a crazy turn of events!
The main hall was silent.
After a long time, Tong Wudi stood up.
“The first layer’s hero has returned, and as the City Lord, how will I not congratulate him? Prepare the congratulatory gift!”
After that, Tong Wudi swung his arms and prepared a congratulatory gift. Together with his subordinates, he walked towards Immortal Chef Little Store.
…
As Bu Fang closed the doors tightly, he couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
Too scary!
The enthusiastic crowd left him speechless for a moment.
Inside the restaurant, the Black Dragon King touched his bald head and sat on one side, grabbing a spirit fruit to eat.
The spirit fruit was full of spiritual essence, so his face was flushed right after eating it.
Opposite the Black Dragon King, a girl in a long green dress sat with pride.
She had jade-green curly hair, charming jade-green eyes, as well as a delicate and stunning face that was etched with icy arrogance.
Seeing Bu Fang return, the corner of the girl’s mouth curled slightly.
This girl was precisely Flowery, who had completed her third transformation. Her figure had become graceful and slender, making her look fiery hot.
“Bu Fang, you finally returned… I’m so hungry!”
Flowery crossed her legs, revealing her fair skin and exquisite curves. As she spoke, she raised her chin and stared at Bu Fang with her dark-green Tri-Flower Snake Eyes.
Bu Fang sighed. Patting Xixi’s head, he then moved towards the kitchen.
When he passed Flowery, Bu Fang looked at her, raising the corner of his mouth as he patted her jade-green hair.
“After transforming, the little girl became so tall…”
Bu Fang’s touch made Flowery smile, her Tri-Flower Snake Eyes rotating in delight.
After that, Bu Fang didn’t wait for Flowery to say anything and directly entered the kitchen.
The curtain at the door of the kitchen was lifted, causing the bell to ring.
Lord Dog yawned. He laid in a corner and began to snore.
The recent events left him exhausted.
Seeing Lord Dog, Flowery’s eyes suddenly shone. She flew to Lord Dogs’ side and squinted as she sat cross-legged.
Crack…
The Black Dragon King snorted as he angrily bit a fruit shell. He felt sad and angry that his daughter was confused by a dog!
Nethery sat on a chair and stared coldly. “What’s going on outside?”
Xixi also crawled up on the chair, curiously blinking.
“I don’t know. We’ve been trapped in this restaurant for several days…” the Black Dragon King mumbled as he bit into a spirit fruit, making the juice splash out in all directions as he spoke.
Xixi stared at the Black Dragon King gnawing a spirit fruit and gulped.
The Black Dragon King grinned. Shaking his hand, he then waved a vermilion spirit fruit in front of Xixi.
“Girl, come here. This dragon king invites you to follow me!” The Black Dragon King’s eyes shone. Since his daughter didn’t follow him, he tried to ask Xixi.
The pitch-black eyes of Nethery stared coldly at Black Dragon King.
“If you don’t want to become Sweet ‘n’ Sour Dragon Ribs under Bu Fang’s knife, give that fruit to Xixi and dispel your thoughts on her,” Nethery said. Then, she reached out to the Black Dragon King. “Also, give that to me.”
The Black Dragon King’s face suddenly turned dark. However, he didn’t hand over the fruit.
…
Stepping into the kitchen, Bu Fang’s mind was surging.
His mind was resounding with the serious voice of the system.
“Host, congratulations on completing the task: Enter the top ten of the Immortal Chef Tournament, access the Immortal Tree space, and obtain the Immortal Tree’s seedling… Starting to give the task reward…”
Finally, the task had been completed, causing Bu Fang to feel relaxed.
The reward for the task was quickly received.
Bu Fang’s eyes shone brighter and brighter.
The reward for this task was the ability to fuse many kinds of immortal flames, and that was really important to him.
His mind flickered, and the White Tiger Heaven Stove emerged. In the next instant, the Heaven Illuminating Flame appeared, floating quietly in his hand.
His mind flickered again, and the two flames that he had obtained in the Immortal Chef Tournament floated.
One was the Nether flame of Zheng Kuangjiu, while the other was the Nether flame of Liu Mobai. Both of them burned at extremely high temperatures.
Bu Fang grinned. Then, he opened his mouth and swallowed both flames.
As the two flames settled into his stomach…
Boom!
Bu Fang suddenly felt the flames exploding in his body with a frightening temperature. It felt like his stomach had changed into an oven, unceasingly burning.
Soon, the two flames fused into one.
The Heaven Illuminating Flame was also swallowed by Bu Fang. He felt like his aura was rising dramatically.
After a while, Bu Fang opened his eyes.
A burst of turbid energy gushed out of his mouth.
That burst of turbid energy seemed to be filled with a high temperature, twisting the air slightly.
“The flavor is quite good… It tastes like curry.” Bu Fang smacked his mouth.
Ordinary people wouldn’t know the flavor of an immortal flame… or, in this case, Nether flames.
Suddenly, Bu Fang was startled. He had a strange look on his face.
His mind settled quickly as he entered the system panel.
Host: Bu Fang
True Energy Cultivation: Three-star True Immortal Realm
Cooking talent: Seven Stars
Skills: Level 2 Meteor Knife Skill (100/100), Level 2 Big Dipper Carving Skill (100/100), Level 1 Knife Skill: Overlord Thirteen Blades (13/13), Gourmet Array (3/6), Cutting Immortal Style (1/3)
Items: Golden Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife (God of Cooking Set), Black Turtle Constellation Wok (God of Cooking Set), Vermillion Robe (God of Cooking Set), and White Tiger Heaven Stove (God of Cooking Set).
God of Cooking overall rating: First Grade Immortal Chef (Can refine the origin energy in the ingredients and condense immortal energy, reaching a higher level of cooking skills.)
System rank: Level 3 (Can fuse immortal energy. True energy conversion ratio has increased to 200%)
On the system panel, the change was not small.
First of all, the Cutting Immortal Style had leveled up, and it was followed by the additional piece of the God of Cooking Set, the White Tiger Heaven Stove.
The most important part was the True Energy Cultivation’s column, where it says he had reached Three-star True Immortal Realm!
This was the most shocking detail to Bu Fang.
“Three-star True Immortal Realm? My turnover had not reached that level yet. How did the True Energy Cultivation change unexpectedly?”
Bu Fang was stunned, so he hurriedly asked the system.
“Fusing immortal flames can also increase the total amount of true energy. Therefore, your True Energy Cultivation would also be upgraded.”
The serious voice of the system resounded in Bu Fang’s mind, quelling his doubts.
Bu Fang was slightly stunned. After that, his mind suddenly became excited!
His eyes shone.
The system meant that as long as he swallowed immortal flames, his cultivation base would improve!
How convenient is that?!
If that’s the case, he just needed to swallow immortal flames. After getting enough immortal flames, his cultivation could even reach Nine-star True Immortal Realm!
There’s no need to wait for the turnover to meet the system requirement!
Of course, if he could only level up without meeting the turnover requirements, the system rewards would be lacking.
As for the other properties, such as the Cooking talent, System rank, and so on… they did not change.
Therefore, the turnover couldn’t be pulled down.
However, this change gave Bu Fang a direction to promote his battle efficiency!
Eat immortal flames while upgrading his cultivation…
In this world, there was no one else who could advance like this!
Moreover…
Bu Fang thought that if he could study more dishes like the Bursting Pissing Beef Meatball with Niu Hansan…
One day, he would be invincible!
But Bu Fang just thought about it. After all, immortal flames were very rare.
The system had strictly required that an immortal flame must be ownerless. In other words, once the immortal flame belonged to an Immortal Chef, his cultivation wouldn’t be upgraded even after swallowing it.
This left Bu Fang feeling somewhat regretful.
“Okay, forget it.” Bu Fang shook his head and retracted his mind from the system panel.
Then, his mind flickered once again, and he entered the Heaven and Earth Farmland. If he could study more dishes like the Bursting Pissing Beef Meatball, he could still become invincible!
In the future, he could throw out a beef meatball to blow up a star. It was a very exciting prospect to fantasize about.
As soon as he entered the Heaven and Earth Farmland, the breeze brought a sweet smell over.
However, the miserable ‘mooing’ sound of a bull rang out in Bu Fang’s ears once again.
This left Bu Fang even more puzzled.
He had always been curious. What exactly did Niu Hansan do to the Strongest Demon King?!
