The delicacies of the heavens begin with obtaining gem meat.

Jiang Yan slowly opened his eyes, his mind gradually clearing from the intoxication of taste.

The next second, Jiang Yan suddenly realized that he seemed to have undergone a complete transformation.

The skin becomes firm and smooth, and the original slightly rough texture disappears without a trace, replaced by a delicate texture like fine silk.

Even the light emanating from the gemstone shone through, reflecting a faint glow onto the skin.

After a moment of confusion, Jiang Yan quickly checked for other changes in himself.

His once thin chest became broad and upright.

Lifting up his shirt reveals eight-pack abs with smooth, powerful lines.

The muscles in his arms and thighs are well-defined, but not bulky; instead, they exude a powerful and dynamic beauty.

Jiang Yan slowly clenched his fist, and an unprecedented sense of power surged from his limbs and bones. He could even feel the slight resistance generated by the compression of the air at his fingertips.

He tried to throw a punch lightly and heard a slight whooshing sound in his ear, something he had never dared to imagine before.

He stood up, stretched his limbs, and his bones made a crisp "crackling" sound.

Every movement became incredibly light and agile, as if freed from heavy shackles.

But it wasn't all surprises.

Jiang Yan looked down at his own body and compared it to the gemstone meat next to him, and found that he seemed to be a little shorter.

Originally around 1.8 meters tall, his height seems to have shrunk by 10 centimeters, becoming around 1.7 meters.

Combined with his suddenly muscular physique, he appeared exceptionally robust.

After his initial surprise, Jiang Yan began to speculate about the changes in himself.

........................

"What's the purpose of the Gemstone Meat? Or the Gourmet Cells?"

Jiang Yan muttered to himself, gently stroking the taut muscles on his arm.

He knew that gemstone meat was not only a top-quality delicacy, but also had health benefits.

Even the sick and weak can become strong instantly after eating the gem meat.

As for the food cells, they are even more amazing.

In Jiang Yan's view, even ordinary people in the world of Gourmet Hunter have gourmet cells in their bodies, but the gourmet cells in ordinary people are not active, and at most they can only make ordinary people eat a little more.

Among the race called the Netero, it seems they possess culinary skills that can stimulate the gourmet cells in ordinary people, making them more delicious.

Of course, this has nothing to do with him.

Jiang Yan had no intention of "eating people".

After a little thought, Jiang Yan was certain that he had most likely obtained gourmet cells, and even more so, active gourmet cells.

As for the reason, one is that his body has changed too much, and the gemstone flesh probably cannot achieve that.

On the other hand, almost a third of the gemstone meat in front of him was gone.

One-third of the gemstone flesh was larger than him, and contained unimaginable energy. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have been stuffed to death long ago.

But not only was he unharmed, he felt incredibly energetic.

Jiang Yan couldn't think of any other explanation for this illogical situation besides the effect of the food cells.

After all, only active food cells can possess such terrifying digestive and absorptive capabilities, transforming massive amounts of food into energy for their own evolution.

........................

What puzzled Jiang Yan was that the process by which he obtained the gourmet cells seemed a little too easy.

Jiang Yan knew that in the world of Gourmet Hunter, the number of people who could actually activate the gourmet cells in their bodies was actually very small compared to the vast number of humans.

Even members of the Gourmet Club went so far as to inject highly active gourmet cells directly to activate the gourmet cells in their bodies, ultimately resulting in bizarre and grotesque forms, demonstrating the extreme difficulty involved.

He neither injected highly active gourmet cells like the members of the gourmet club, nor did he subtly activate gourmet cells by eating large amounts of gourmet food over a long period of time.

Simply by consuming enough gemstone meat, the gourmet cells were activated.

This seems too simple no matter how you look at it.

Jiang Yan was unaware that the reason he was able to succeed so smoothly was entirely because he was too 'weak'.

Not only his physical strength, but also the cells in his body are extremely 'weak'.

Therefore, his original cells were completely powerless against the food-eating cells.

This allows food cells to take root and multiply freely in his body, much like cancer cells, ultimately replacing and reshaping all the cells in his body.

"Forget it, there's no need to worry about it too much."

Jiang Yan shook his head, a relieved smile appearing on his lips.

Regardless of the process, as long as the result is good, that's all that matters.

He now not only has a healthy and strong body, but he has also acquired gourmet cells, which is already incredibly lucky.

Jiang Yan then excitedly began experimenting with his new body.

First, I tested the speed, and it was at least two or three times faster than before.

He then punched the fleshy wall next to him, creating a deep dent.

Try jumping; your body lightly leaps into the air, soaring more than two meters high, and lands as steadily as a mountain, without the slightest impact.

...............................

Jiang Yan became more and more excited as he tried, constantly experimenting with various movements and feeling the surging power within his body, as if he possessed inexhaustible energy.

After testing his basic condition, Jiang Yan began to try to activate the special abilities brought by his gourmet cells.

However, Jiang Yan concentrated his mind and tried to mobilize the energy in his body.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, apart from feeling that his strength and speed far exceeded those of ordinary people, he did not exhibit any special abilities.

Jiang Yan was not disappointed. After all, having just obtained the food cells, it was like a newly sprouted seed that needed time and more delicious ingredients to nourish and grow.

He believes that as long as he continues to eat high-quality food, he will definitely gain special abilities.

It's unclear whether his special ability will be similar to Toriko's sense of smell or Coco's poison.

Or perhaps a voice like Zebra's, or a touch like Sani's...

Jiang Yan is really looking forward to this!

However, that's all for the future; right now, he needs to think about his next move.

Having found the gemstone meat, he naturally no longer needed to wander around inside the Ligalu mammoth's body.

Therefore, Jiang Yan decided to stay in this space until he left.

The fact that the gemstone meat can remain here indicates that this space is relatively safe.

There's no need to worry about encountering parasites or other dangerous creatures inside the Ligaluru mammoth.

As for leaving the body of the Ligalu mammoth, Jiang Yan had never even considered it.

There was no way around it; Jiang Yan knew very well that although he had obtained gourmet cells and completed a life evolution, his own strength was still limited.

Now his strength and speed far exceed those of ordinary people, but he is still no match for the ferocious beasts in the world of Gourmet Devil.

He might not even be able to defeat the parasites inside the Ligaluru mammoth now.

The outside world is certainly wonderful, and even has a lot of delicious food, but it is also much more dangerous.

The area where the Ligaloo mammoth lived must have been teeming with countless ferocious beasts.

If he went out with his current strength, he might just be eaten as a snack by some hungry beast.

In this situation, it would actually be safer for him to remain inside the Ligaloo mammoth's body.
