Chapter 1328 It“s a Matter of Luck
Initially, Yellow Spring Great Sage didn’t take it seriously at all. In his opinion, even if it was tasty, it would not be too delicious. Could a flatbread made of wheat flour taste better than seafood and delicacies? He thought he had tasted everything, and he would not succumb to a piece of flatbread.
Then, he took a bite of the Fortune Flatbread, and he chose to succumb.
Crunch!
His teeth bit through the crispy, golden crust of the flatbread, exposing the moist, tender, and fragrant filling. As he continued to bite, he felt as if there was a vast jet of gas about to burst out of the flatbread. His eyes widened in disbelief instantly.
As a Great Saint, Yellow Spring Great Sage immediately realized that the gas was the embodiment of the Will of the Great Path!
‘What is this? The intangible Will of the Great Path… can take a physical form?!’
Crunch!
The filling was sweet and tasty. As he chewed the flatbread, his mouth was filled with a unique fragrance. It was a pure charcoal scent. He didn’t expect this, but the flavor made him happy. Meanwhile, the jet of gas that was the physical form of the Will of the Great Path slipped down his throat into his stomach.
Was the fortune in the name of this dish referring to this jet of gas, the embodiment of the Will of the Great Path? Or was it the Primeval Chaos?
‘Oh?’ Yellow Spring Great Sage’s pupils constricted again, and his eyes shone brightly. ‘It changed! It changed completely!’
In his perception, after the flatbread entered his stomach, the wisp of gas penetrated his body, and then he could no longer sense it. Even with his divine will, he could not sense the wisp of air that was the Will of the Great Path anymore!
Yellow Spring Great Sage shuddered and felt even more incredulous.
‘Is this flatbread really so amazing?’
Suddenly, his eyes went wide as he stared at his arms. He found that strength began to fill them, and the rate at which it increased made him shudder.
“Can this flatbread… increase one’s physical strength?!” he said, horrified.
Soon, the muscles on his arms began to swell, and his chest muscles became larger, pushing at his clothes and making them tighter. In the blink of an eye, he had a perfectly fit body.
Yellow Spring Great Sage was a Great Saint, but the Fortune Flatbread had increased his physical strength! It was an incredible effect! For a Great Saint, stronger physical strength on a battlefield was a crushing advantage.
“Increased physical strength?” Bu Fang gave Yellow Spring Great Sage a look filled with sympathy. “It seems your luck is really bad,” he said lightly. Then, while the Great Saint was still in a daze, he took a bite of the Fortune Flatbread.
Crunch!
Bu Fang chewed the fragrant flatbread. Its crisp skin and tender filling were truly intoxicating and a special experience.
Yellow Spring Great Sage ate the flatbread as he stared at Bu Fang. Without considering its incredible effect, the flatbread actually tasted delicious. Still, he had not figured out what Bu Fang meant by bad luck. Why was eating a flatbread related to luck?
The Fortune Flatbread wasn’t that hard to make, but it wasn’t too easy either. The main reason was that the charcoal oven was difficult to control, which involved many skills. Baking in the charcoal oven could squeeze out the Will of the Great Path in the flour and turn it into wisps of gas. And this gas was the essence of the flatbread, just like the human soul.
It was the soul of the flatbread, which was also the so-called fortune.
Bu Fang swallowed the flatbread. Soon, his eyes brightened up. He felt a wisp of gas flowing through his body, and then his mental force began to soar and became stronger.
Before this, the maximum range that his divine will could cover was a hundred miles around, but now it was getting wider and wider, reaching a thousand miles!
Yellow Spring Great Sage sucked in a cold breath!
‘How is this possible? Compared with the breakthrough in the cultivation base, the breakthrough in mental force is more difficult. Bu Fang had just eaten a piece of flatbread, and yet the range that his divine will can cover immediately skyrocketed! What’s the point of cultivating, then? Everyone might as well eat this flatbread to break through!’
“Well… It seems that my luck is better than yours.” Bu Fang glanced at Yellow Spring Great Sage and twitched the corner of his mouth.
Yellow Spring Great Sage was struck dumb. ‘What does this guy really mean? What does eating a flatbread have to do with luck? What is he trying to say?’
Crunch!
Nethery held the flatbread, parted her red lips, and took a bite. The outer layer of the flatbread broke, and a rich aroma wafted into her nose. Her eyes lit up instantly as the wisp of air that was the Will of the Great Path entered her body.
Before long, as Yellow Spring Great Sage watched with wide eyes, her aura began to soar. Her cultivation base rose from a Nine-revolution Little Saint to a One-revolution Great Saint, then rose to Two-revolution Great Saint. Finally, it stayed at the Three-revolution Great Saint level.
Yellow Spring Great Sage was stunned. He was so terrified that he could hardly hold his precious wine jar.
‘What is this? Who can tell me what really happened? Why did this girl break through from a Nine-revolution Little Saint to a Three-revolution Great Saint with just one bite of the flatbread? Are Great Saints so cheap now? Can one easily break through by just eating a flatbread? I worked hard for thousands of years to become a Great Saint, but this girl…’
Yellow Spring Great Sage’s lips were trembling. As a Great Saint, he knew how hard it was to become one. Moreover, after stepping into the realm of Great Saints, each level would be more difficult to break through.
Therefore, when he sensed Nethery’s rapid breakthroughs, he felt a deep sense of helplessness. Comparisons were indeed the thief of joy.
Meanwhile, he finally understood what Bu Fang meant by luck. All three of them ate the same flatbread, but his skin only hardened a little. Bu Fang was luckier, for the range of his divine will increased several times. As for the girl, her luck was incredibly good. Her cultivation base had jumped straight to that of a Three-revolution Great Saint.
Compared to her, his luck was really bad.
Bu Fang withdrew his divine will and took his time eating the flatbread.
At this moment, the people who had been watching them outside the restaurant had already been stunned.
‘After the supreme-grade Yellow Spring Helplessness Wine, has Owner Bu cooked another peerless dish that can make people break through to the realm of Great Saints in a flash? This flatbread will definitely be very popular!’ That was the thought in everyone’s mind.
Bu Fang took a bite of the flatbread, glanced at Yellow Spring Great Sage, whose lips were trembling, and said, “Well… A Fortune Flatbread is fifty thousand Nether Crystals, and each person can buy three a day.”
‘What?’
The price froze everyone. ‘Fifty thousand Nether Crystals for a flatbread? Why is it so cheap? This flatbread’s effect is as good as that supreme-grade Yellow Spring Helplessness Wine! Since that wine was sold for one million Nether Crystals per cup, it should be selling for at least eight hundred thousand Nether Crystals, right? That kind of heaven-defying effect doesn’t deserve fifty thousand Nether Crystals!’
The reason for this was known only to Bu Fang. Although the gas containing the Will of the Great Path in the Fortune Flatbread could enhance various abilities, the enhancement was actually determined by luck.
When one’s luck was good, the enhancement would be heaven-defying. For example, what Nethery got was a great fortune. However, when one’s luck was bad, the enhancement would be just something common, such as strengthening their bodies. The best example was Yellow Spring Great Sage.
As for Bu Fang’s mental force boost, it was considered a stroke of good luck. When his divine will’s coverage increased from one hundred miles to one thousand miles, it was the equivalent of his divine will stepping from an immature state into a mature state. If he were to cultivate on his own, it would take a long time. And now that he had felt this state, it would be much easier for him to cultivate to one thousand miles around again in the future.
Even so, the Fortune Flatbreads should not be so cheap, should they?
The truth was that its effect would not last. What caused the enhancement was the wisp of gas. Therefore, when the gas was used up, the enhancement would disappear. The effect would last about half an hour.
When Bu Fang explained the reason, it answered everyone’s doubts.
Even Yellow Spring Great Sage narrowed his eyes and nodded. He knew there was no such good thing in the world. He had cultivated so hard for thousands of years. If a little girl could be as strong as him with just a bite of the flatbread, he might as well throw himself at a wall and kill himself. However, he glanced at the flatbread in his hand and felt a little incredulous.
“My luck is not so good, and that’s why I only got enhanced physical strength… But I don’t believe my luck will always be so bad. Owner Bu, give me another piece of flatbread!”
Yellow Spring Great Sage’s nostrils seemed to flare.
Bu Fang looked at him and said nothing, but he went into the kitchen and came back out with a basket of flatbreads.
“The selling of Fortune Flatbreads begins now. A flatbread is fifty thousand Nether Crystals, and each person is limited to three per day.
“Let me share some knowledge. Once you have the Fortune Flatbreads, you will have an advantage on the battlefield, and your chances of survival will become greater. If one of you has heaven-defying luck, you may break through the Nine-revolution Great Saint realm after eating it, and you will be revered by millions and dominate the battlefield.”
Bu Fang’s voice was powerful, and he spoke as if it were real. In fact, while the Fortune Flatbread could bring one fortune, anyone who wanted to break through to the realm of Nine-revolution Great Saint by eating it must already be a Great Saint and possessed heaven-defying luck.
For ordinary Little Saints, if they could achieve the effect like Nethery, it was already very amazing.
So, as soon as Bu Fang’s voice faded, everyone outside the restaurant went crazy!
“Yes! Owner Bu is right!”
This Fortune Flatbread could really be their life-saving means. As a last resort, they could eat it and hope for the best. In case one of them was extremely lucky and became a Nine-revolution Great Saint, he or she would be able to turn the tides on the battlefield and become the hero of Earth Prison!
“Say no more, Owner Bu! Give me three Fortune Flatbreads first!” shouted an expert eagerly.
A hundred and fifty thousand Nether Crystals for a glorious opportunity was a very good bargain! Since they could cultivate to their current levels, these experts all had obsessive confidence in their luck.
Yellow Spring Great Sage was one such expert. He was extremely confident in his luck. Therefore, after eating the first flatbread in a hurry and waiting for half an hour until the effect disappeared, he quickly ate the second one. Once again, a stream of refreshing gas flowed out of the Fortune Flatbread and poured into his body. After that, he felt as if his body was about to explode. He opened his mouth and spewed out a hot ball of fire, which was promptly extinguished by Whitey with a slap.
“Congratulations. Your fates have conspired against you once again… You have obtained the fireball ability,” Bu Fang said seriously, looking at Yellow Spring Great Sage with a twitch of the corner of his mouth.
‘How bad is Yellow Spring Great Sage’s luck? How did he get such a low-end ability? Did he offend the Goddess of Luck?’
Yellow Spring Great Sage’s face went black. Fireball ability? When he tried to imagine that he was on the battlefield and got this fireball skill after eating a flatbread, he felt like a child abandoned by heaven.
“Well… The fortunes brought by the flatbread are unusual, and there are chances that you will get permanent abilities. However, this is rare…” Bu Fang stroked his chin, remembering a remark that the System had mentioned seriously when explaining the Fortune Flatbread. He couldn’t help telling the crowd about it.
Nethery’s Three-revolution Great Saint aura had faded, returning to the level of Nine-revolution Little Saint. She didn’t feel any discomfort. Without a doubt, the Fortune Flatbread would not bring any side effects.
She had not finished her flatbread yet, so she gave a little to Foxy. With her tongue sticking out, the little fox ate the flatbread. Her eyes narrowed in bliss as her three tails wagged.
“Bu Fang, boy, give me another flatbread! I don’t believe my luck will be so bad!” Yellow Spring Great Sage said, unconvinced.
The ability to spew fireballs was simply a joke. He was a Great Saint, not some juggler in a circus!
After spewing several more fireballs in a row, Yellow Spring Great Sage’s eyes turned red. He bought another Fortune Flatbread from Bu Fang, grabbed it in one hand, and angrily finished the second flatbread.
The experts outside the restaurant had already gone crazy, and they lined up again to buy Fortune Flatbreads.
Half an hour later, Yellow Spring Great Sage’s eyes suddenly lit up, looking as sharp as the brightest star in the night. He picked up the flatbread, opened his mouth excitedly, and spewed another fireball.
Looking at the fireball, he was stunned.
Even Bu Fang gasped in surprise!
