Food: I found Eri Nakiri in the world of Food Prisoners

"Uncle, I've brought your guest back."

Blanche looked at the enormous, roly-poly toy-like fairy in front of her and said.

"It's good that you've been brought back. Greetings, guests from the human realm. I am the village chief of the Demon Food Realm."

The roly-poly toy immortal also nodded.

"Uncle, these are distinguished guests of our Demon Food Realm..."

Blanche offered a few words of advice, telling the Tumbler Fairy about the rainbow fish they encountered on their way here.

"What seven-colored fish? And they're even planning to give us a few!"

Hearing this, the Tumbler Immortal's eyes widened. This was a treasure known as a talisman in the culinary world. As long as he didn't provoke the Eight Kings, he could at least protect himself, if not dominate the culinary world.

The seven-colored fish is also a very useful item for the demon-eating world.

So even the roly-poly toy immortal couldn't sit still after hearing this.

"That's right, so these are very important guests. You mustn't neglect them."

Blanche nodded.

"Thank you very much, gentlemen. However, I am not very mobile. I will have Blanche entertain you and act as your guide."

Since the Tumbler Immortal was not very mobile, he naturally entrusted the important task of entertaining Xu Yong and the others to Blanche.

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of our guests!"

Blanche nodded quickly, and Xu Yong immediately activated his magic, using spatial magic to transfer the several rainbow fish he had promised to give to the Demon Eater Realm, along with the fish tank, over.

"A rainbow fish! This is a rainbow fish! It's so beautiful!"

Looking at the several colorful fish in the huge fish tank in front of him, the Tumbler Fairy was extremely excited.

"Everyone, please follow me to my restaurant. Let's eat first!"

Blanche was planning to show off her culinary skills, and upon hearing this, everyone naturally agreed, after all, Blanche was ranked third on the chef ranking list.

While that ranking list is indeed highly unreliable, it only applies to the middle and latter half; the people at the top are still highly qualified.

Following Blanche, the group arrived at Tengu Castle, which was Blanche's restaurant. There weren't many people inside at the moment, since he had been sent out by the Tumbler Master to pick someone up, so Tengu Castle was temporarily closed.

Otherwise, at this time, his Tengu City would be completely overcrowded.

"Men, our distinguished guest has arrived! Prepare all the best ingredients in the shop!"

Blanche shouted to the chicken-headed men inside. These chicken-headed men were brothers, good cooks, and had excellent teamwork, so Blanche recruited them to be her kitchen helpers.

Upon hearing their boss's words, all the underlings immediately sprang into action.

"Everyone, please wait a moment, I'll go cook."

With that, Blanche rushed into the kitchen. After all, he was the head chef here, and Xu Yong and the others were distinguished guests, so he naturally had to take charge himself and not let his underlings do a perfunctory job.

"I hope the ingredients here aren't too strange. Although I know they are normal ingredients, their appearance is still a bit hard to accept."

After sitting down, Erina Nakiri couldn't help but say something, and everyone else nodded in agreement. The strange ingredients they had seen on the street were really disgusting and hard to eat.

"Don't worry, before that, let's taste the ingredients we caught earlier!"

As he spoke, Xu Yong took out a golden can.

"I remember finding this canned food in the swamp maze. Mr. Xu Yong seemed very happy at the time!"

Mirajane spoke up, saying that she had been paying attention to Xu Yong. Xu Yong wasn't very interested in other ingredients, but he became noticeably happier after getting this canned food.

"You're very observant. This ingredient is actually very precious. There's only one of its kind on the entire planet. In terms of rarity, it's even rarer than the ingredients on the entire Earth's menu."

Xu Yong began to explain that the Ghost Clam is a very special ingredient because of its terrifying appetite. Therefore, there is only one Ghost Clam at a time, making it a very unique life form.

The Earth's complete meal menu is something that only matures once every few centuries. Of course, this time the eight ingredients are the best, because this is the time when the Earth has been cooked and the most delicious flavors have been released. Therefore, the eight ingredients are also the most delicious ever.

Of course, as long as the Earth is not destroyed, eight more ingredients will be produced every few hundred years, but they will not be as delicious as this time.

However, Xu Yong only has this one of these clams left.

Speaking of which, Ghost Shell's shell can be considered a spatial device, although it's not very useful.

First of all, the opening is very small. This seashell does not have the storage equipment found in cultivation novels, where the size of the opening can be ignored. To put something in, it must fit the size of the opening.

Besides, whether the stuff can be taken out after it's been inserted is another matter entirely, and there's also a lot of clam meat inside.

It's important to know that the Ghost Clam almost completely devoured the oceans of ancient times, and the amount of meat stored inside is terrifyingly large.

So if you put things in there, they'll get mixed up with the ghost clam meat. In short, this spatial equipment is utterly useless.

However, Xu Yong didn't want the spatial equipment; he already had his own system space. What he wanted was the ghost clam meat inside.

"Rarest ingredients than any dish on Earth's entire menu?! What on earth is this?"

Everyone was incredibly surprised after hearing this. You see, the Earth's complete meal menu was used as its own by the God of Food, Acacia. It contained the eight most precious ingredients on Earth. How could they not be surprised that Xu Yong was saying this?

"This is a Ghost Shell. It was sealed away by the Netero clan with a golden can, and I'm the only one in the entire world who possesses it."

Xu Yong told everyone the names of the ingredients.

"Ghost Shell? What a peculiar name! Quickly open the can and take it out to see!"

Everyone was very curious about the ghost shell, so they couldn't wait to see it.

"I can take it out, but only with spatial magic. As for destroying this can, I can't do that right now."

Xu Yong shook his head.

"Can't do it? How is that possible? With Mr. Xu Yong's abilities, he can't even open a can?!"

Mirajane was stunned. She knew Xu Yong's capabilities all too well. It was simply outrageous that Xu Yong couldn't even open this can.

"The material used to make this canned food is very special. It is called the material of gold and is a material collected from the seven beasts of the Sixth Continent. This material has two characteristics: one is that it is extremely hard and the other is that it is not affected by time."

"To break this can, one must be stronger than the Seven Beasts. The average capture level of the Seven Beasts is over four thousand. I can't open this thing right now!"

As Xu Yong spoke, he activated spatial magic, and the ghost shell in the golden can was directly transferred out. It can only be said that spatial magic is really useful.

"It's so small! The patterns on the shell look like the expression of a demon. That must be where the name 'Demon Shell' comes from!"

Rukia Kuchiki said, looking at the demonic patterns on the Oni Shell.

"That's right, that's where the name 'Ghost Shell' comes from."

Xu Yong nodded, and then used his soul power to pick out the meat directly from inside the Ghost Clam. The Ghost Clam looked very small, but Xu Yong pulled out more than ten meters of meat, which looked like sausages in sections.

The key is that each segment has a completely different color, which means that each segment tastes completely different. The essence of the creatures that the Ghost Clam devoured was transformed into the Ghost Clam's meat, and after such a long period of sedimentation, it has become this kind of food.

This is an ingredient that can awaken the White Ghost just by its scent. Speaking of which, Xu Yong thinks that this Ghost Clam may have come from the White Universe. Of course, this is just a guess.

It's also possible that Toriko's physical condition met the requirements, and there were enough good ingredients, which is why the White Demon was able to awaken.

"Is there some kind of special space in here? It's amazing how much meat can be pulled out, and it smells so good!"

The aroma emanating from the clams was irresistible to everyone. Not only them, but even Blanche and the others who were busy in the kitchen were drawn in by the fragrance.

After a long period of curing, the meat of the razor clam can actually be eaten directly, just like ham. Well-cured ham can be eaten raw, and the same applies to razor clam meat.

It's just that different ways of eating result in different flavors.

"The special space does exist, but it's not very useful. Everyone, please try the Ghost Clam first. If all goes as expected, the Ghost Clam can activate our food cells and greatly enhance them."

After all, it is an ingredient no less than the Eighth Ingredient, so Xu Yong had high expectations for the Ghost Shell. After all, only some of the Eighth Ingredients are mature now, and the mature Eighth Ingredients are no longer on the Eighth Continent, so Xu Yong has no way to capture them in a short period of time.

As soon as everyone took a bite of the ghost clam meat, before they even had a chance to savor it, their gourmet cells began to activate.

Powerful auras began to spread, and then five enormous figures appeared in the void above Tengu City.

The five demons have different forms. Although Xu Yong's gourmet demon is the leader slime, he changed the leader slime's form, so the others naturally cannot recognize the leader slime.

Although the chances of people in the Demon Eater World recognizing the Boss Slime in its prime are almost zero, Xu Yong still changed the Boss Slime's appearance to avoid unnecessary trouble.

At this moment, everyone's cell levels began to surge, and their auras became increasingly terrifying. The entire Demon Food Realm took notice of what was happening here.

Chapter Ninety-Six: Cell Level Exceeds 500, Gratitude from the Demon Food Realm

"The phantom of the Gourmet Demon? It must be those people from the human realm. Only they can release demonic phantoms. But why would they release a phantom here?"

The people of the Demon Food Realm quickly figured out what was going on: the food demons within them had actually merged with their bodies, so the people of the Demon Food Realm couldn't release the demon phantoms at all.

"Could it be that they've had a conflict with our people?"

One of the people, whose head took up more than half of their body, spoke.

"No, the aura is getting stronger and stronger, and it's getting stronger very quickly. This aura isn't targeting anyone. It's because their Gourmet Cells have been activated. Only after the Gourmet Cells are activated will the demonic phantom appear."

A one-eyed man with a human-like build spoke up. He was none other than the Blue Demon Dina, one of the three new beast warriors of the Demon Food World, and also the best regenerator in the Demon Food World.

Of course, this blue demon is not the blue demon inside Toriko's body.

He deduced from the increasing intensity of the aura that someone's food cells had been activated.

"This is indeed a situation that can only occur when the food cells are activated, but what ingredients did they eat? This surge in aura is too exaggerated!"

A short figure spoke up. This person was also one of the new three beast warriors, Kappa Noshu. In the original story, if he hadn't held off the air at the last moment and prevented it from touching the ground, Komatsu's cooking would have failed.

"It's really too exaggerated. The speed at which it becomes stronger is extremely fast. I can't think of any other ingredient besides air that can do this, but air is not mature yet."

Dina shook his head; he didn't know what ingredient could have such amazing effects.

"We'll find out when we get there. Anyway, they were brought back by Blanche, and that's Blanche's Tengu City. We'll find out when we get there."

After Noshu finished speaking, he headed towards Blanche's Tengu Castle. Dina and the others quickly followed, since they couldn't just leave such a commotion unattended.

"The food cell activation has increased so much at once! Mabi, it's perfect that you're here. Could you please run an errand and tell the others not to disturb our distinguished guest? Also, please meet at the square tonight; I have something to announce."

On the other hand, Mabi also found the Tumbler Sage, and then this happened. So the Tumbler Sage also asked Mabi, one of the veteran Three Beast Warriors, to handle it.

"I understand...quack quack"

As Mabi spoke, her speech gradually turned into frog language, much to the helplessness of the Tumbler Immortal. Mabi's ancestors had been largely assimilated by the Gourmet Demon, which is why her family members all spoke in this way, their speech eventually turning into frog croaks.

After saying that, Mabi left quickly and arrived at Tengu City at an extremely fast speed.

"Everyone, please disperse. The people inside are guests from the human realm. What happened just now was an accident. The village chief has something to announce tonight, so please remember to gather at the square!"

After Mabi arrived, she relayed the Tumbler Immortal's orders, and upon hearing this, the people of the Demon Food World gradually dispersed.

"Mabi, what is the village chief going to announce tonight?"

Noshu and Dina did not leave, but instead asked Mabi what had happened that evening.

"You'll find out tonight. If you find out now, there's no anticipation...quack quack."

As they were talking, Mabi turned into a frog croak and left. Noshu and Dina had no choice but to go back for the time being. After all, the village chief had spoken, and they naturally wouldn't go against him.

Despite being a lecherous old man, the Tumbler Immortal still enjoys high prestige in the demon food world.

At the same time, the cell activation of Xu Yong and others had ended. Blanche noticed that the aura in the private room had disappeared, so he also came in.

"Mr. Xu Yong, did your food cells just activate?"

Upon entering, Blanche smelled an even more enticing aroma and saw the ghost clam meat placed on the table. Clearly, the aroma was coming from this meat, but Blanche refrained from asking about the meat and instead inquired about what had just happened.

"That's right. We ate an ingredient we harvested in the swamp maze, so our food cells were activated. Sorry, it seems we've made quite a commotion."

Xu Yong spoke up, saying that he naturally knew how many people had come from outside, all attracted by the commotion they had caused. Although they hadn't intentionally unleashed their power, it had still affected others, so an apology was appropriate.

Based on the intensity of his aura, he estimated that his Gourmet Cell level had exceeded 500, but he didn't know the exact number. He estimated that the cell levels of the others were around 400 to 500.

"Actually, it didn't have any impact. Mr. Xu Yong, you don't need to worry about it. I didn't expect there to be such a powerful ingredient in that maze."

Blanche was quite surprised to see the ghost clam meat on the table, after all, Xu Yong and the others had improved so much.

"Ghost clam meat is indeed a very rare ingredient, and its effects are in no way inferior to the eight ingredients, and it is even rarer."

As Xu Yong spoke, he took out a portion of the ghost clam meat and handed it to Blanche.

"This meat is a gift."

Xu Yong said with a smile.

"How can I accept this? I promised the village chief I would treat you well. How can I accept gifts?"

Blanche quickly shook his head. Although he was also envious of this ingredient called Ghost Shell, Xu Yong and his companions were honored guests who had brought great help to the Demon Food World. How could he accept Xu Yong's gift?

Although Blanche may seem a bit mean, he is also very principled. In the original novel, Blanche was extremely displeased with the three tigers.

However, at Toriko's request, he delivered the ingredients without turning against Mitsuko.
