System reward: A fragment of the God of Cooking Set (3/5), the recipe of the Fortune Flatbread of Primeval Chaos, the Time Gourmet Array
Bu Fang touched his chin as he looked at the system panel. Many things on the panel had changed, and there were additional things.
The first thing that caught his attention was the fragment of the God of Cooking Set. The breakthrough this time had brought him one more fragment, which was a surprise. Moreover, he was not wrong when he guessed that the last God of Cooking Set would require five fragments. He had collected three now. Once he collected all five of them, he would be able to summon the last God of Cooking Set. Needless to say, he was looking forward to it.
Besides the surprise, Bu Fang also noticed the other rewards. In a rare move, the System provided a recipe this time. According to his experience, a recipe given as a reward for the leveling task was very unusual. Therefore, he was curious about the Fortune Flatbread.
After going through the recipe, Bu Fang couldn’t help but suck in a cold breath. He was astonished by the flatbread’s effect.
The third reward was a Gourmet Array, which he had not seen for a long time. There were a total of six Gourmet Arrays, and Bu Fang had collected five.
The fifth Gourmet Array represented ‘time.’
‘What’s the use of this array?’ Bu Fang furrowed his brows and thought it might be another useless Gourmet Array, like the Defense Gourmet Array.
Since he already had the Vermilion Robe, Bu Fang didn’t spend too much time to research the Defense Gourmet Array. What defense could be stronger than the Vermilion Robe’s invincibility?
All in all, the level-up was expected. Of course, the rewards it brought also made Bu Fang very happy. What delighted him the most was the breakthrough of his strength.
Whenever he leveled up, he always broke through several levels, and it was no exception this time. Now, he had broken through from a Two-revolution Little Saint to a Nine-revolution Little Saint. The rate at which he broke through was comparable to Nethery when she ate the Three-cup Divine chicken.
Bu Fang sat in the chair with a thoughtful look. In his hand, he held the cup with wine still swirling inside. His legs were crossed, and he looked leisurely.
Nethery and Foxy were playing nearby. Suddenly, they seemed to sense something, and they turned to look at Bu Fang at the same time. Foxy’s tails were wagging as she blinked her big eyes, while Nethery’s eyes flashed with a strange gleam.
With a muffled boom, rings of true energy spread from Bu Fang’s body like ripples, causing the air to squeak as if it could no longer bear the weight.
“He’s breaking through?” Nethery cried out in surprise.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
As the energy rings spread, the sound of something breaking apart rang out.
Bu Fang’s breakthrough was more straightforward when compared to Nethery’s. In the blink of an eye, his cultivation base soared from a Two-revolution Little Saint to a Nine-revolution Little Saint.
If Nether King Er Ha were here and witnessed this, he would most likely be frightened to death. Perhaps he would wonder why people could break through so easily nowadays?
The breakthrough didn’t last for too long. After a few moments, Bu Fang opened his eyes. The look in them was calm as if breaking through was as normal as eating a bowl of rice or drinking a cup of water. He glanced at Nethery and Foxy, who appeared to be in a daze, then rose to his feet and went into the kitchen with the cup in his hand.
After the brief moment of daze, Nethery and Foxy began to play with each other again. The incident, which would shock the entire world, appeared to be something perfectly normal in this little restaurant.
Bu Fang placed the cup in the kitchen, then he went into the Heaven and Earth Farmland.
As soon as he was inside, Niu Hansan sensed his aura and came running at him.
Standing in front of Bu Fang, Niu Hansan looked at him from top to bottom. The way he looked at him made Bu Fang’s hair stand.
“What’s the matter?” Bu Fang gave Niu Hansan a puzzled look.
“Oh, Owner Bu… I thought I would never see you again!” Niu Hansan exclaimed. He then cheered, spread his arms, and threw himself at Bu Fang.
Of course, Bu Fang would not let Niu Hansan hug him, so he lifted a hand and put a finger against the latter’s forehead, stopping him from getting closer.
“That’s enough. I’m here to check on the situation in the farmland. I also need you to prepare some spirit rice for me,” Bu Fang said.
Niu Hansan had recovered his composure. He widened his eyes, nodded, then turned around to prepare the spirit rice.
Meanwhile, Bu Fang clasped his hands behind his back and walked about in the farmland. He found that the place had grown fuller and more real. The air was filled with birds’ twitter and fragrance of flowers, as well as rich spiritual energy. When he took a deep breath, the moist and sweet air went through his nose and made him feel as if his body and soul were cleansed.
The Spring of Life flowed, gurgling in the river. The little white dragon, which was the source of the Spring of Life, swam up and down in the water. The Blood Lobster was waving its pincers, and it seemed to have become one of the bullies in the river.
On the ground, the grass swayed. Eighty and the Eight Treasures Pig were running through it, while the Three-Eyed Wild Lion lay lazily to the side, sleeping.
The Myriad Treasures Immortal Tree stood straight in front of the wooden hut, swaying gently and glowing brilliantly. Its existence caused the vegetation in the farmland to keep growing. On its crown, the white Senseless Lotus bloomed quietly as a strange energy wave spread from it, filling the whole space.
The sight calmed Bu Fang’s mind.
Before long, Niu Hansan came running back with a cloth bag that contained the spirit rice.
Bu Fang took the bag from him and reached a hand into it. His eyes narrowed slightly as the cold and moist spirit rice brushed against his hand. He was very satisfied. Carrying the bag, he bid farewell to Niu Hansan and left the farmland.
Niu Hansan stood in front of the wooden hut with his hands behind his back. As he watched Bu Fang leave, he could sense that a tremendous change had happened to him. Previously, when the farmland was in turmoil, he thought Bu Fang was struck by some calamity. Now, it seemed to him that Bu Fang had resisted the calamity and even became much stronger. The reward of resisting a calamity was definitely huge.
When Bu Fang returned to the kitchen, he removed the spirit rice from the bag. These were no ordinary rice because they contained the Heaven and Earth Farmland’s Will of the Great Path. He needed them to make the reward he had just received, the Fortune Flatbread of Primeval Chaos.
The name was a refreshing one, but Bu Fang was more drawn to its effect.
‘Every Fortune Flatbread brings fortune. The flatbread baked with the Nine Dragons Fire Controlling Technique contains the fortune of heaven and earth, which will pass to the person who ate it.
‘The so-called fortune is not fixed. It depends on the luck of the person eating it. For those who have greater luck, they will obtain top fortune, while those who have weaker luck will obtain common fortune..’
The System’s voice rang out in Bu Fang’s head at the right time.
The corner of Bu Fang’s mouth twitched. The so-called fortune was naturally unusual. When Nethery ate the Three-cup Divine Chicken and broke through from a Two-revolution Little Saint to a Nine-revolution Little Saint, that was considered heaven-defying fortune. Although the top fortune was nowhere near as good as that, it was by no means bad. Any fortune was beneficial.
‘The Fortune Flatbread can be taken out, and each customer can buy three pieces at a time.’
Bu Fang thought for a moment and realized that a hot-selling cuisine was about to be born. Of course, before that could happen, he needed to make the flatbread. At the thought of that, he immediately rolled up his sleeves excitedly, getting ready to make the flatbread.
…
Meanwhile, in Earth Prison…
With the fall of Black Demon, the Black Temple had lost its master. The building, which was shrouded in a cloud of terrible energy, began to change dramatically. At the same time, the power that could not be seen in the past began to appear.
Suddenly, the void was torn apart. A few figures emerged from it and hovered in midair. They were none other than Lord Dog, Nether King Er Ha, and Prison Overlord Ying Long. As soon as they arrived, they glanced at the flickering Black Temple in silence.
“With the death of Black Demon, this forbidden land is without a master, and it’s about to turn into dust in history. The Power of the Laws that sealed it up is beginning to fade away, so the treasures the Black Temple had hoarded for two ages are about to be exposed,” Er Ha said excitedly.
With the death of Black Demon, the treasures in the Black Temple immediately became an attraction.
Boom!
As the power broke and faded away, one expert after another flew crazily out of the Black Temple, their faces filled with fear and panic. However, since they carried the mark of the forbidden land, they were struck by black thunderbolts and turned into ashes the moment they stepped out of the Black Temple. It was the obliteration of the Power of the Laws.
Even Lord Dog dared not to touch the black thunderbolts that were the Power of the Laws. That was a forbidden power.
The Black Temple, which had existed for two ages, had vanished completely.
A golden skeleton was watching from a great distance. The ghostly fire in his eye sockets burned ragingly. The Black Temple’s fate completely silenced Jin Lou. He raised his head and looked into the distance, where Lord Dog, Er Ha, and Ying Long were staring at him. He didn’t say anything, but his eye sockets were filled with deep grief.
‘This, perhaps, is the tragic ending for all the beings who have survived to this age…’
In the end, Jin Lou left.
The terrible Power of the Laws that trapped the Black Temple for an age had finally disappeared. From then on, there was no more Black Temple in Earth Prison.
After the power disappeared, Lord Dog, Er Ha, and Ying Long flew into the Black Temple impatiently. All the people inside were killed by the power, but the treasures remained intact. The fact that these treasures could be kept from the previous age to this age proved that they were extremely precious and valuable.
Since Nether Prison was about to invade Earth Prison, the treasures of the Black Temple could be used to improve the Earth Prison army’s strength.
Without hesitation, both men and the dog took away almost everything inside the Black Temple.
In the depths of the sky, an elegant figure stood in midair. She was clad in white robes and looked exceedingly beautiful.
Looking at the Black Temple, which was no longer enveloped by the Power of the Laws, Ice Saint sighed softly. Then, she took a step and returned to her God Vanishing Mountain.
…
In Yellow Spring Little Restaurant, Bu Fang had ground all the spirit rice to powder. He rubbed his hands and was getting ready to make the Fortune Flatbread, which he was looking forward to tasting.
