Chapter 9, Primordial Space

Among the three, although Wang Tao reacted the slowest, he consumed the most, while Du Yang and Zhao Yongkui ate slightly less

The voice of the spirit slowly spoke, and another point of light flew in from the sky. This time, it did not fall to the ground but landed in Gu Zheng's hand. The Immortal Essence Pill was about the size of a mung bean, crystal clear, and shimmered like a pearl. Holding it in his hand, he could smell the fragrant aroma emanating from the pill.

There is actually an additional reward, so why not hurry and give it to me!

Is it possible to open it now

Is there such a good thing? Where are the seeds

I would like to eat again in the future; I am quite tired from making these things today. I will treat you all another day

Is it really this good just to stand here

Gu Zheng, who had always been tricked by the spirit of the vessel, was momentarily taken aback, but soon became delighted. The spirit's words were very clear; this was an immortal seed, and the quality of the ingredients was ordinary. A small bottle of honey at the ordinary level allowed him to create such delicious food. It was uncertain what other delectable dishes could be made from the ingredients harvested from these seeds.

Additional rewards include a regular Immortal Essence Pill and the culinary skills of Master Xian in frying eggs

The function of the Xianyuan Dan is to enhance celestial power; with your current strength, it can probably enhance your celestial power by about one-tenth!

Gu Zheng was quite astonished by everything here, but he did not forget the most important thing about coming here, which was to cultivate. He did not feel any flow of energy passing through his body, nor did he sense any enhancement of power.

Gu Zheng excitedly called out, and suddenly a scene appeared in his mind: a handsome and refined man dressed in white stood in front of a peculiar stove, holding a pan in one hand, preparing a fried egg. The image quickly passed, and all the techniques for frying eggs were imprinted in Gu Zheng's mind

Indeed, this is the best food I have ever eaten in my life. After having your cooking, everything I used to eat has turned into pig feed. Yet, you only cook like this once every few years, it is simply torturous

Just as Gu Zheng was about to speak, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind: "Congratulations on completing the trial. As the heir of the Gluttonous Immortal, it is very important to conquer the taste buds of others. You have already conquered three people, and you can now open the first layer of the Primordial Space!"

Is this the Honghuang space?" Gu Zheng asked in astonishment

The Immortal Devouring Technique is a gift possessed by the Immortal Devourer himself. Apart from him and his disciples, no one else can cultivate it. You only need to stand here; there is no need to do anything, as the celestial essence from the primordial chaos will naturally flow into your body

As Gu Zheng spoke, he was once again able to 'see' that bronze beast in his mind. This beast was different from before; its eyes were bright. Suddenly, the beast opened its mouth, and Gu Zheng felt a blinding light flash, causing everything before his eyes to change completely

"Gu Zheng, what you made this time is incredibly delicious. I have never eaten anything this tasty!" Du Yang said, putting down the plate with great satisfaction

The one who ate the least was Gu Zheng. He was communicating with the spirit of the vessel in his mind, and inevitably slowed down while multitasking. He had only eaten two pieces of chicken, one shrimp, and had not touched the soup at all. Now, there was only a little sorghum left in his bowl. After the three of them finished asking questions, they all stared blankly at Gu Zheng's bowl.

The spirit did not speak, and suddenly twenty small light points flew through the air, landing on the ground evenly and quickly disappearing from sight

The scene quickly passed, but everything displayed in the scene had already been completely memorized by Gu Zheng; what was lacking was merely the experience of personally creating it

There is nothing left, it is all gone, just this!

Upon entering the primordial space, you will receive the seeds of celestial ingredients left for you by the great Immortal He Xian. This includes ten seeds of celestial rice and celestial vegetables. This land is sufficient for you to cultivate; once harvested, you can take them out of the primordial space. All of these ingredients possess celestial essence and can enhance your strength

This elixir, if not consumed personally, could certainly fetch a considerable sum based solely on its appearance. If one refrains from consuming it and instead sells it, would that not lead to overnight wealth?

Gu Zheng hurriedly shoveled the sorghum grains from his bowl into his mouth, fearing that if he delayed any longer, the other three might snatch away the food from his bowl.

The spirit of the instrument retorted to Gu Zheng with a question, and without a moment's hesitation, Gu Zheng replied, "Open it, open it immediately!"

Isn't the effect of this elixir quite significant

The trial has finally been completed. Without mentioning the opening of the primordial space that allows him to cultivate, at least he no longer has to worry about being forcibly erased, and the greatest crisis has been resolved

Filled with anticipation for the ancient struggle in the primordial space described by the spirit of the artifact, one can cultivate within it. According to the spirit's previous descriptions, once the Immortal Technique of the Devouring Immortal is successfully cultivated, one can soar through the skies and traverse the earth, becoming a true powerhouse. No one can remain calm in the face of such temptation.

After finishing the last drop of soup, Wang Tao's gaze was filled with deep resentment. However, his words garnered the agreement of Du Yang and Zhao Yongkui. Zhao Yongkui nodded and said, "Gu Zheng, your skills have improved significantly! We have truly never tasted anything this delicious. Your culinary skills have now caught up with your father's, haven't they? You should consider a trip to France someday; who knows, you might even become a three-star chef!"

After sending off the three individuals, Gu Zheng closed the door properly and then spoke in his mind: "Can that primordial space be opened now?"

Gu Zheng's custom is to see off guests after a meal. The three of them felt somewhat reluctant to leave and did not want to go, but seeing Gu Zheng's resolute attitude in sending them off, they had no choice but to depart. After leaving, the three did not return home but found another place to continue savoring the delicious food they had enjoyed earlier

One-tenth is quite good!

It can be further increased, quite good, how should I practice

Indeed, the first layer of the Primordial Space is only this large. When you cultivate the Immortal Devouring Technique to the second realm, the space can be expanded by one fold. When you reach the third realm, it can be expanded by another fold compared to the second realm, and so on.

After the seeds were sown, the spirit suddenly spoke again: "Your performance this time is commendable. The Great Immortal has instructed that if you perform well, you may be granted an additional reward. Would you like to claim your extra reward?"

Ordinary individuals who consume elixirs without possessing celestial power will only meet with explosive demise. The elixirs from the library can only be consumed by yourself and are not to be resold. Additionally, it is formally notified that you have received the first culinary inheritance from the esteemed one. To test whether the inheritor of the culinary arts is diligent, the inheritor must use their egg frying skills to conquer the taste buds of more people. For the next fifteen days, the inheritor must sell fried eggs at a fixed location. The standard for passing this test is to make your fried eggs the most renowned food within a three-kilometer radius. The ingredient grade for this test is limited to second-rate. This test cannot be refused, and failure to complete it will result in one hundred lashes. Detailed rules will be established by the culinary decree.

Once again, it is a surprise. Gu Zheng feels that this spirit of the instrument is not as annoying as before. This magical space has left him quite astonished, yet he is uncertain about what the additional reward might be

Wang Tao whispered, picked up the pot of chicken soup, and poured out the last bit of broth. The plate of wild lotus seeds and deep-sea shrimp had long been cleaned, and Zhao Yongkui could only watch helplessly, unable to snatch anything.

treachery

Du Yang, with keen eyes, suddenly picked up the plate of honey-glazed chicken and extended his tongue to lick it. The plate of honey-glazed chicken still had a bit of residual sauce, while the rest had long been devoured by the three.

He is currently in a cramped space of about 20 square meters, surrounded by dense fog, with a yellow sky above and nine suns in the air. There are many suns, yet it does not feel hot.

Even if it does not taste good, being able to supplement the celestial essence is still quite beneficial, as it can enhance his strength

Gu Zheng asked, although it is said to be an ordinary quality elixir, it is still an elixir. Whether in novels or on television, elixirs are indeed good things for rapidly enhancing strength. He did not know if this elixir could allow his Devouring Immortal Technique to reach the second realm. If that were the case, he would no longer have to worry about falling ill in the future

Fifteen minutes in the primordial space quickly passed. Gu Zheng stood there in a daze for a while before being transported out. The scene before him returned to that of the room, and the immortal pill in his hand had not disappeared; it continued to emit a faint fragrance. Gu Zheng looked at the immortal pill in his hand and chuckled foolishly.

The three had never tasted the dishes made by Gu Zheng's father, but the creations of a world-class chef were undoubtedly exceptional. However, in their view, the skills of the three-star chef could only be described as such. The flavors of the dishes they had just eaten were beyond the capacity of words to describe

Gu Zheng appeared even more surprised, yet felt quite pleased inside, as it was better not to have to exert effort in cultivation. Unfortunately, the time spent each time was too short, only fifteen minutes. If there could be more time, it would mean that his cultivation time would increase as well

Unfortunately, his silly smile did not last long; he soon remained there, his eyes filled with disbelief

Gu Zheng issued an eviction order; in fact, he had not eaten enough. However, since the food was prepared by him, if he truly wanted to eat, he could simply find the ingredients and cook again later, at which point he could enjoy a hearty meal by himself.

One-tenth is equivalent to one percent. Although it did not improve as well as Gu Zheng had hoped, the sudden increase of ten percent in strength still made Gu Zheng very happy, as it was a direct enhancement of power through the use of a celestial elixir, effectively adding more to his capabilities.

There are also elixir rewards, how wonderful
