Zongman: All Heavens and Worlds Begin with the Devil's Curse

"Wow! What a huge cooking pot!" A short fellow emerged from the dense forest, looking at the Tianyuan Cauldron in utter astonishment.

"I can smell the aroma of top-quality ingredients!" exclaimed the blue-haired young man standing next to the short guy.

Two pairs of eyes kept glancing at the Heavenly Origin Cauldron, and then fell on Zhou Lan and Bo Gang's demonic true forms.

In their line of sight, Zhou Lan floated quietly in front of the Tianyuan Cauldron, her figure ethereal, while Bo Gang's true form was as heavy as a mountain, which made the two of them stare wide-eyed.

"What is this thing?" The blue-haired young man looked at Bo Gang with a puzzled expression.

Zhou Lan didn't turn around; he already knew who the two people behind him were.

The blue-haired young man is the protagonist of this world, Toriko, a gourmet hunter, while the short guy next to him is Komatsu, a chef.

The fact that these two are appearing in the Baron Islands at this moment must be because of the giant crocodile Kayla that he had just used to refine.

Footsteps approached slowly. Zhou Lan remained calm, while Bo Gang waited quietly for the ingredients to be cooked.

Toriko sniffed the aroma emanating from the Heavenly Origin Cauldron, his tone utterly certain: "It's that giant crocodile, Kaera! It's been stewed!" "That's right!"

Zhou Lan turned around and looked at the two of them with a half-smile.

"You are definitely not ordinary people, being able to defeat the Kayla Crocodile!"

Aru looked at Zhou Lan and said.

But his gaze fell on Bo Gang.

Surprisingly, the mountain-like monster seemed somewhat peculiar to him.

It wasn't some special ingredient; the feeling it gave him was more like the gourmet demon within him.

Toriko suddenly thought of a possibility.

This mountain-like entity is very likely the gourmet demon of the guy in the purple-red Taoist robe in front of us.

It materialized and separated from his body in some way he was unaware of.

"Would you like to try some?" Zhou Lan suddenly asked.

"Hehe, an invitation from a stranger? I'm not going to refuse food like the Kaera Crocodile!" Toriko was incredibly excited.

"Hey! Mr. Toriko!" Komatsu hurriedly called out to him, but Toriko forcibly dragged him to sit down in front of the Heavenly Origin Cauldron.

"Mr. Toriko, our mission target has been stewed!" Komatsu whispered in his ear.

They came for the Kayla crocodile, a rare ingredient whose meat is worth 100,000 yuan per kilogram.

And just like that, it was stewed into the pot by the strange being before it! A moment later, the Heavenly Origin Cauldron trembled.

A misty white fog wafted out, carrying a fragrant aroma.

Bo Gang excitedly stood up, causing the ground to shake.

The first bite of the new world is ready!

Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Road Belonging to Bo Gang

Toriko, the protagonist of this world, is a guy with terrifying potential for growth.

He possesses gourmet cells and has three gourmet demons within him.

The red gourmet demon is known as the Red Oni, and is hailed as the strongest warrior in the entire universe.

Of course, it's not possible to tell right now.

The other two gourmet demons are even stronger than the last.

The second blue demon, and the third white demon, which is the most deeply hidden.

The White Demon is an entity capable of obliterating planets, or even galaxies, with a single finger.

As Zhou Lan said, this world is very dangerous, and the storms are too great.

However, the bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish.

The more dangerous the world, the greater the opportunities. This is Zhou Lan's expectation for Bo Gang: that he can grow to his fullest potential here.

Food and nutrients are the things that are most abundant here.

Zhou Lan's purpose at this moment was to give Bo Gang a good start.

The furnace temperature had dropped, and Zhou Lan lifted the lid of the cauldron with her finger.

The elixir that had refined the giant crocodile Kaira and several Baron tigers flew out of the cauldron, filling the air with fragrance.

"What... ingredients and cooking method is this!?" Toriko stared blankly at the elixir flying towards him.

Bo Gang swallowed it whole, a satisfied look on his face.

The elixir floated quietly in front of Toriko, its translucent milky white color exquisitely beautiful.

"As you can see, I am a chef!"

Zhou Lan raised the corners of her mouth.

"A unique cooking method?" Toriko held the elixir in his palm, feeling its lingering warmth.

He could feel that the essence of the entire Kayla crocodile had been condensed into this small sphere, like some kind of compressed food.

"What a waste!" he exclaimed.

His culinary philosophy, of course, is to appreciate the purest form of ingredients.

To him, this elixir was more like some kind of compressed biscuit for the army, far removed from gourmet food.

He grinned and swallowed it in one gulp.

In an instant, a force rushed into his nasal cavity and straight to the top of his head.

His partner, Xiaosong, after recklessly swallowing the elixir, swayed unsteadily as if he were drunk, almost starting to throw a drunken punch.

Toriko's eyes lit up immediately.

The chef in front of him was simply a genius! He stood up, bowed to Zhou Lan, and said sincerely, "I'm sorry, I was just looking down on your cooking skills in my heart. This is simply genius-level culinary art!" Zhou Lan smiled and shook her head.

Having traversed different worlds, his understanding of the essence of power has also progressed step by step.

Just as he said, the essence of many powers in the myriad realms is the same; if one law is understood, all laws are understood.

Can't alchemy also be seen as a special kind of cooking method? It also involves carefully selecting ingredients, controlling furnace temperature, and extracting essence.

The culinary people of this world rack their brains trying to find ways to enhance the taste and power of food.

Alchemy, which originated from another world, had long been ahead of the curve on this path.

Alchemy is essentially a means of eliminating the dross and condensing the essence.

The ingredients will naturally be sublimated in the pot.

This is especially true for the special ingredients found in this world.

The elixir he just distributed combined the delicious essence of both the Kayla crocodile and the Baron tiger.

Swallow it, and the essence bursts forth.

For someone of average strength, like Komatsu, a single pill would be enough to make him stagger and lose all sense of reality.

Suddenly, Toriko's expression froze.

An overwhelming salty taste burst in his mouth, stimulating him to open his mouth immediately.

"This flavor is way too strong!"

he complained.

"I forgot to tell you, this is my younger sister's taste; she likes salty food!"

Zhou Lan said.

Toriko's gaze fell on Bo Gang, this devilish fellow who turned out to be the chef's sister.

It's really hard to tell.

Bo closed her eyes contentedly, feeling that Zhou Lan's cooking skills had improved again.

If she hadn't known Zhou Lan was leaving, she would have really wished she could have stayed with her.

Zhou Lan reached out his hand toward the Tianyuan Cauldron, and the giant cauldron, which was tens of meters tall, shrank rapidly and was put into his sleeve.

This technique amazed Toriko.

He hasn't grown to the point where he can compete with Zhou Lan and Bo Gang yet.

He cupped his hands in greeting. Although he had just tasted something bitter and salty, he didn't have a bad impression of the two strange fellows in front of him.

A person who is willing to share rare delicacies with others is unlikely to be a bad person.

Even if he knew Zhou Lan and Bo Gang's demonic identities, he would probably still think the same way.

There are quite a few demons in this world.

The Gourmet Demon doesn't seem to be much different from other demons.

Throughout history, there have been many stories of creatures that ate other food species to extinction.

In comparison, the ancient Pogan simply gnawed at the continent quietly, which was incredibly docile.

"Little sister, I've set the stage for you. From now on, everything depends on you!"

Zhou Lan whispered to Bo Gang.

A world where you can eat endlessly would be the perfect gift for her.

Bo Gang nodded silently; she understood what Zhou Lan meant.

My brother is about to leave.

He shoulders an even more important mission.

She will continue to grow here; without a doubt, this place is more suitable for her than her original world.

"Putting aside the saltiness that doesn't suit my taste, this is truly a unique cooking method. I, Toriko, have decided to cook one of the dishes on my life's menu using this method!" Toriko exclaimed, arms outstretched.

From a very early age, he had already decided on the meaning of his life: to create his own life menu, encompassing all the rare and delicious things in the world.

He was impressed by Zhou Lan's amazing culinary skills.

Zhou Lan narrowed his eyes slightly; this was exactly what he was waiting for. He said calmly, "This is my unique skill. Want to learn? I can teach you!"

"However, I only have one request!"

He held out a finger.

Toriko patted his chest and assured, "Whatever ingredients you need, I can go and hunt them!" Zhou Lan shook her head: "I don't need any ingredients!"

He looked at Bo Gang, but he was speaking to the guy in front of him who was destined to grow into a cosmic-level being.

"I know you're a reliable guy, so I need you to do me a favor..." After a long pause.

As the three figures disappeared from her sight, Zhou Lan stood alone on the island, arms draped over her shoulders.

He has already arranged the perfect path for his younger sister.

Her future achievements are immeasurable; she may very well become one of the most outstanding among her eight siblings.

For some reason, he suddenly felt a sense of alienation, like an adult bird in the nest watching its young flap their wings and fly away alone.

A golden portal appeared beside him, and Zhou Lan slowly floated into it.

He will come back again.

There are two reasons.

One reason is the existence of Bo Gang.

Secondly, it was what he had just instructed that a dish be left for him in this world... a dish that belonged only to him.

The doors are closed.

Zhou Lan took a step forward, and this time, he did not stop, but descended directly into another world.

A completely new country unfolded before him.

A gentle breeze carries the salty scent of the sea, and white seabirds take flight.

He calmed down.
