The delicacies of the heavens begin with obtaining gem meat.

Chapter 128 Capturing BB Corn, the Star of Earth Fruit

Jiang Yan looked at the stalks of BB corn, which were at least four or five meters thick.

Moreover, it can support BB corn that is fifty or sixty meters tall, so you can imagine how tough it is.

So Jiang Yan simply took out the Melk kitchen knife!

Grasp the handle of the Melk knife, chant "wrap it around the blade," and slightly tense your arm muscles.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Yan aimed at the incredibly thick stalk of BB corn and suddenly swung the Melk cleaver!

Melker's cleaver slammed heavily into BB's corn stalk.

However, the cut only left a half-meter-deep wound on the stem; the expected scene of severing it in two did not occur!

Jiang Yan's face was full of surprise.

"I didn't expect it to be so resilient."

Although he didn't use his full power, the sharpness of Melk's cleaver was enough to cut through even steel plates several meters thick.

But at this moment, the cut on the BB corn stalk only left a wound half a meter deep!

Jiang Yan's eyes sharpened, and he no longer held back.

A surge of powerful thoughts rushed into Melk's cleaver, causing the blade to gleam faintly.

Jiang Yan gripped the cleaver tightly, the veins on his arms bulging slightly. Then, he used all his strength to chop hard at the BB corn stalk again!

This attack seemed to tear even space itself apart, with muffled explosions echoing through the air.

The moment the blade fell, the thick stalks of BB corn could no longer resist and were severed.

The giant BB corn lost its support, tilted to one side, and finally crashed heavily onto the canopy of the Wu Forest.

Looking at the fallen, ripe baby corn, Jiang Yan smiled with satisfaction and quickly put it away.

After putting away the BB corn, Jiang Yan prepared to leave the Forest of Wu. He couldn't wait to taste the BB corn.

Back on the ground, Jiang Yan took out the prepared compass and began to walk towards the outer edge of the Wu Forest.

--------------

Just as Jiang Yan was less than a kilometer away from the edge of the forest and could vaguely see the open landscape outside, an aloe vera lizard darted out from behind a tree and stopped a few meters in front of him.

The Aloe Lizard is enormous, standing seven or eight meters tall, and is a level 10 creature. It is considered a minor overlord in the outer reaches of the Wu Forest.

The most eye-catching feature is the thick, emerald-green aloe vera growing around the neck of the aloe vera lizard.

These aloe vera leaves are plump and gleam with a moist sheen in the sunlight.

Jiang Yan's gaze fell on the aloe vera around the aloe vera lizard, and he became somewhat interested.

Aloe vera not only has strong moisturizing and nourishing effects, but it can also be used to make soup and juice. It is sweet and refreshing, making it a great ingredient. Since you've come across it, you shouldn't miss it.

As for the texture of the aloe vera lizard's flesh, Jiang Yan didn't care, since it didn't look appetizing.

Jiang Yan was too lazy to waste time making a move. He stood still, his aura slightly deepening. His previously restrained power suddenly awakened like a sleeping beast, and a terrifying pressure was unleashed without reservation, crushing down on the aloe vera lizard in front of him.

The aloe vera lizard, which had originally intended to attack Jiang Yan, instantly froze.

The next second, the thick aloe vera collar around the aloe vera lizard's neck quickly fell off.

Then, without looking back, the aloe vera lizard darted into the depths of the Wu Forest and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Ignoring the fleeing aloe vera lizard, Jiang Yan suppressed his aura, walked over, and bent down to pick up the few tender aloe vera leaves one by one.

The leaves feel moist and plump to the touch; you can feel their abundant juice just by holding them in your hand.

Just as Jiang Yan picked up the last aloe vera leaf, a faint golden light suddenly flashed from the soil not far ahead.

Jiang Yan paused, then looked up sharply.

Not far in front of him, a patch of soil slightly bulged up, and then a seedling shining with golden light broke through the soil.

"This is----"

A hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Yan's eyes. He unconsciously took a few steps forward, squatted down, and carefully observed the seedling that had suddenly appeared.

At this moment, Jiang Yan's heart began to beat rapidly involuntarily; he had already guessed what it was.

As if to confirm his idea, under Jiang Yan's gaze, the seedling that shone with golden light began to grow wildly.

The rhizome thickens and lengthens at a rate visible to the naked eye, and grows upwards through internodes.

In just a few breaths, the seedling grew into a plant more than a meter tall, firmly rooted in the soil.

On the branches of the plant, a dozen or so fruits hang in a staggered pattern.

Each fruit is only the size of a thumb, and its shape is very similar to an exquisite perfume bottle. The bottle is transparent and has a warm luster. On the surface of each fruit, there is a red five-pointed star.

After seeing the fruit clearly, Jiang Yan's lips slowly turned up, eventually forming a joyful smile, his eyes filled with surprise.

"It really is the Star of Earth Fruit! I can't believe I've encountered it! Looks like my luck with food is exceptionally good!"

The Star of the Earth Fruit, named directly after the "Earth" in the Earth Forest, can be considered the most...

One of the most mysterious and precious top-grade ingredients.

It could even be said that, apart from BB corn, the Star of Wu fruit is definitely the highest-grade ingredient in the entire Wu Forest.

Suppressing his excitement, Jiang Yan didn't rush to pick it, but patiently stood aside, quietly waiting.

Soon, the original thumb-sized Star of E began to grow rapidly, eventually reaching the length of a palm.

But Jiang Yan still didn't make a move.

At this point, the Star of E is not yet fully ripe, lacking the most crucial step—salt accumulation.

Without sufficient salt to settle, the sauce will be bland and tasteless.

Although I'm eager to taste BB Corn, it's worth the wait for the Star of the Earth Fruit.

The salt inside the Star of Eon is constantly settling and condensing.

About half an hour later, the few remaining leaves of the Wuzhixing Tree began to wither and fall.

Jiang Yan's expression hardened. He could sense that this was a signal that the Star of Wu fruit had fully ripened and the Star of Wu tree had completed its mission.

Without hesitation, Jiang Yan quickly picked all the Star of Evil fruits from the branches and then put them away.

As the last Star of E was picked, the Star of E instantly lost all its vitality, rapidly drying and withering at a visible speed, eventually becoming just an ordinary dead branch.

From growth to withering, the entire process takes less than an hour.

Furthermore, the growth of the Star of Eternity fruit is completely unpredictable, meaning that without exceptionally strong luck, one would never have the chance to see it.

That is why Jiang Yan had no intention of capturing the Star of Wu before coming to the Forest of Wu.

But he clearly underestimated his own luck in food.

Jiang Yan slowly stood up, glanced at the Forest of Wu, then gently clasped his hands together, his expression becoming extremely solemn.

"Be grateful for all the ingredients in this world."

--------------

A deep and solemn voice echoed softly through the forest, and then Jiang Yan bowed slightly to the Forest of Wu.

"Thank you for the gift from the Forest of Wu".

After the ceremony, Jiang Yan turned and continued walking towards the outer edge of the Wu Forest.

Jiang Yan was in a very good mood at this moment.

BB corn and Wu-star fruit—this trip to the Wu Forest yielded far more than expected.

Finally, Jiang Yan arrived at the edge of the Forest of Wu, and a bright and clear view opened up before him.

Then Jiang Yan looked at the Wuzhi Volcano next to the Wuzhi Forest.

If you want to taste BB corn as soon as possible, the best choice is to go to Mount Enoshima.

Jiang Yan took a step and strode quickly toward the direction of Mount Wu without hesitation.

The volcano of the Enoki is also known as the magma pot. The area around the volcano is covered with rocks, and there are many layers of stacked rocks.

Magma with a temperature as high as 1400 degrees Celsius flows beneath the rock strata.

This keeps the temperature of the rocks at the bottom layer, which are in contact with the magma, constant at 1200 degrees Celsius, and the temperature decreases as you go up, making it a natural cooking oven.

As Jiang Yan approached the Wuzhi Volcano, scorching heat waves rushed towards him, with temperatures high enough to instantly burn an ordinary person.

However, Jiang Yan's physique was already far beyond that of ordinary people, so he could still tolerate this high temperature.

Furthermore, unlike typical volcanoes, there is no smell of sulfur near Mount Enomoto; instead, the air carries a faint salty aroma.

This is actually because the volcanic ash emitted from the eruption of Mount Enoki is a very high-grade salt.
