Chapter 573 Food Lost

After much consideration, Jiang Yan decided to give it a try.

Having thoroughly mastered the "Meaning of Food," before leaving Shilin Temple, Jiang Yan found Xiu and inquired about the location of the Foam Avenue.

Xiu was naturally aware that the "Bubble Path" could help him cultivate and eat.

Although I don't know how Jiang Yan found out, but—

"Foam Avenue is special; only one person can enter at a time."

"However, if someone were to go in alone, there is a very high probability that they would die inside."

"The only exception is Zhenzhen, a teacher at the town's normal school."

"Therefore, Jane Town Teacher can provide assistance to others within Foam Avenue."

"But Zhenzhen Teachers' College isn't here now—I don't recommend you try."

Xiu looked at Jiang Yan very seriously and gave him a warning.

Although he had high hopes for Jiang Yan, Xiu didn't think Jiang Yan could succeed without Zhenzhen's help.

He might even lose his life, which was something he didn't want to see.

"I know what I'm doing."

Jiang Yan looked at Xiu calmly.

He wouldn't be satisfied if he didn't give it a try.

Xiu looked at Jiang Yan and finally sighed.

"Foam Avenue is behind Shilin Temple — remember, if you can't hold on, turn back the way you came."

Jiang Yan nodded.

If he really can't hold on, he won't stubbornly resist.

Xiu didn't say anything more.

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Jiang Yan led Kagura and the others to the front of Foam Avenue.

As far as the eye could see, colorful bubbles were piled up, with a path that seemed to stretch on forever.

These bubbles feel soft and squishy when you step on them, which is quite peculiar.

Jiang Yan nodded to Kagura and the other three, then began to walk forward along the path.

During this time, Jiang Yan specifically sensed the surrounding bubbles and discovered that they seemed to have a strange suction force, causing the energy in his body to dissipate rapidly.

Having anticipated this, Jiang Yan did nothing more and continued walking forward.

Soon, Jiang Yan felt a slight emptiness in his stomach.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Yan felt his stomach begin to churn with acid, an empty, churning sensation. His limbs grew heavy, and each step required considerable effort.

Time seems to have lost its meaning here.

All around him were bubbles, and Jiang Yan had no idea how long he had been walking.

It could be an hour, or it could be a day or two —

Waves of hunger surged, spreading from my stomach throughout my body.

Jiang Yan began to feel dizzy, the colorful bubbles in front of his eyes started to appear double, and he lost his strength, stumbling and falling.

Jiang Yan gritted his teeth, maintaining his gratitude for the ingredients.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Jiang Yan's vision began to darken, his face turned pale, his lips cracked, and his eye sockets became extremely deep.

My body's energy was almost completely depleted; even standing up required all my strength.

However, Jiang Yan still had no clue about "food".

Jiang Yan was considering giving up, because if he continued, he would really starve to death here.

But at that moment, Jiang Yan suddenly thought of "life return".

In a way, the concept of "life returning" is somewhat similar to "food not returning."

Jiang Yan took a deep breath and channeled his consciousness into his body.

In a daze, Jiang Yan saw his own body: a slowly beating heart, and a spasming, contracting stomach—

Then Jiang Yan thought of all the ingredients he had eaten so far.

These ingredients transformed into his flesh and blood, sustaining his life.

A strange fluctuation emanated from deep within his body.

The world before my eyes seems to have changed.

Before Jiang Yan could think about it further, the entire Foam Avenue seemed to be lit up, with golden bubbles floating up from the surrounding colorful bubbles.

These bubbles shimmer with a warm golden light, like solidified sunlight or liquid honey, exuding a sweet and refreshing fragrance.

Soap bubble fruit.

Jiang Yan's heart stirred, and he reached out his hand.

A soap bubble fruit slowly landed in his palm, its texture soft and slightly cool and elastic.

Holding the soap bubble fruit to my mouth, I gently sucked it in.

The intensely refreshing carbonation explodes in your mouth, with countless tiny bubbles dancing on the tip of your tongue, sliding down your throat with a cool sensation.

Then, a warm, sweet taste unfolds layer by layer on the taste buds.

The texture is like semi-solid jelly, bouncy and smooth, yet exceptionally light.

The gentle energy slid down the throat, spreading from the stomach and flowing throughout the body.

At this moment, Jiang Yan's body was like parched land that had finally received its first rain.

My sore and weak muscles were filled with strength again; even my blurred vision suddenly became clear.

Every cell was cheering and jumping for joy, greedily absorbing this energy.

Jiang Yan raised his hand and caught a few more, then put them in his mouth.

Each one tastes slightly different: some have the refreshing tartness of lemon, some the rich sweetness and juiciness of lychee, and some have a subtle milky aroma.

After eating seven or eight soap bubble fruits, the feeling of weakness completely subsided.

Jiang Yan didn't continue, but instead collected the soap bubble fruits floating around him.

While soap bubble fruit is delicious eaten raw, it tastes even better when cooked.

Having stored away the soap bubble fruit, Jiang Yan no longer hesitated and immediately took out a large amount of food.

A whole roasted pig, glistening with oil, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside; layers of cheesy meat sauce pasta, the noodles chewy and the cheese stretchy; and various desserts, fruits, stews, and soups —

Food not eaten, then the attack begins.

Jiang Yan grabbed the roasted pig and took a big bite.

The crispy outer layer cracks open between your teeth, releasing a burst of juicy goodness.

Food is quickly absorbed and digested as soon as it enters the stomach, while energy is absorbed by the cells.

Jiang Yan kept eating, but his stomach didn't bulge at all.

However, Jiang Yan could sense that his originally empty body was gradually being filled to the brim.

Jiang Yan didn't stop until he had eaten enough food for 500 people.

It wasn't that he was full, but rather that it was time for him to leave.

Jiang Yan stood up, determined the direction, and then flew towards the outside of Foam Avenue.

Jiang Yan soon returned to the entrance of Foam Avenue.

Upon seeing Jiang Yan fly back, Kagura looked him up and down.

"You're finally out! How are you? Are you alright?"

The other three also gathered around, their eyes filled with concern.

Jiang Yan smiled.

"It's alright, it's done."

"Did it work?"

Kagura looked surprised.

"So fast? You've only been inside for a day!"

"one day?"

Jiang Yan was stunned for a moment.

In his perception, it felt like he had been walking for seven or eight days, and the long, arduous journey filled with hunger and exhaustion seemed to have no end.

Unexpectedly, only a day and a night had passed.

Jiang Yan didn't dwell on this too much; at least he had achieved his goal.

However, his "Food Disappearance" seems a little different, as if it incorporates some of the "Life Return" ability.

This allows him to accelerate cell absorption at any time, and also to stop them from storing at any time.

It can precisely mobilize the energy of a specific muscle, and it can also use stored energy to repair injuries.

This is naturally a good thing for Jiang Yan.
