Chapter 72 Eternal Greed for the Holy Grail (Seeking Recommendations and Monthly Tickets)
The Eye of Truth opened, revealing the information he had initially obtained by consuming half of his spirituality.
【Gluttony Cauldron: A century ago, a branch of breeders called the Spirit Food School was born. They were able to create spirit food comparable to magic potions, which enhanced the strength of their pets and were once very powerful.
However, after they unearthed an ancient temple of gods, obtained the forbidden knowledge within, and integrated it into their school of thought, they descended into utter madness from top to bottom.
They began to greedily try to turn any sentient creature into food, refining the Life Food Technique, and their strength increased by leaps and bounds. However, their hunger was not satisfied, and they craved more.
Finally... they set their sights on the remains of the gods beneath the temple.
They cut off a small section of a tributary of the Mother River to create a furnace, using primal spirituality as fire and forbidden rituals to begin a grand feast of the God of Food. However, they unexpectedly encountered [unclear] and all disappeared, leaving only a complete set of specially made tableware used at the feast. This set underwent a mutation, gained extraordinary power, and scattered throughout the world.
If you can collect a complete set of tableware, you can create the law "Endless Thirst" and restart the feast of the God of Ghoul.
The Cauldron of Gluttony is not one of the seven utensils, but rather a messenger born from the "Calligraphy of Greed," spreading endless greed. If one can briefly satisfy the cravings of the Cauldron of Gluttony with boundless spirituality, one can perceive the location of the Cup of Greed.
Each time it is used, a portion of the body will be consumed by the urge to gorge. It can only be used once a day.
Lu Yu smiled. He thought he would return empty-handed from today's black market trip, but he didn't expect to find such a great bargain.
He also knew about the Spirit Food School, and he felt heartbroken when he learned that a world-class treasure had been shattered. He even went to the library to look up information about it.
But the one that was shattered was called the "Arrogant Fallen Angel Jar".
The one in his hand is a messenger born from the Holy Grail of Eternal Greed, one of the three legendary treasures that disappeared during the struggle for them, capable of devouring all things.
However, due to its demanding usage conditions, it is subconsciously considered by most people to be one of the dream kitchen utensils made from fragments of the [Arrogant Fallen Angel Pot].
The difference may seem small, but one is a fragmented product with an unknown number of pieces.
This, however, is a living map showing the location of a complete world-class treasure.
According to the ritual of the Eye of Truth, if all seven pieces of tableware can be collected, the Feast of the Ghoul God can be restarted.
Perhaps there will be a chance to devour the remains of gods and ascend the throne of immortality.
For ordinary people, it's a gamble with no guarantee of success; but for Lu Yu...
But it's an opportunity to obtain mythological material!
A divine corpse!
If extracted as source material, it would have to be at least seven-star or eight-star material!
Whether made into evolution food or skill food, this can directly transform a small spider or mouse into a mythical creature.
Dominating the game with unstoppable momentum is not a pipe dream!
"However, judging from the information from the Eye of Truth, this [Eternal Greed Grail] seems to be alive and possesses intelligence, so it's probably not easy to deal with..."
Lu Yu was not tempted to lose his mind. After all, these world-class treasures had escaped from the struggle of many powerful figures, and their power was far beyond his imagination.
What happened to the Spirit Food School, which was able to create such treasures? It completely disappeared, leaving no one behind, not even written information. It was as if an invisible black hand had wiped everything away, leaving only seven secret treasures.
Did they succeed or fail in acquiring forbidden knowledge?
Furthermore, why would the Eternal Greed Grail deliberately reveal its location? What is its purpose in attracting people to it?
Lu Yu pondered for a moment, but wasn't too troubled, since he wasn't entirely confident about whether he could collect all seven treasures.
One of the pieces was even smashed into numerous fragments, making countless imitations; just collecting these would be a real headache.
"Never mind, once I'm stronger, I'll naturally have access to more information..."
Lu Yu put these worries aside and chose to let things take their natural course.
Besides craving the divine corpse, he also valued the Gluttony Cauldron's ability to enhance the quality of food.
As the "Master of the Gate," Lu Yu possesses the ability to add special effects to food of good quality or higher.
He had tried cooking before, but the "average quality" label was really an eyesore. It was edible for humans, but not good enough to warrant a proper evaluation.
However, improving one's culinary skills is not something that can be accomplished overnight.
However, things changed with the Gluttony Cauldron.
You can use this special rule to improve the quality of the food you make, upgrading it to good quality or higher, thereby gaining special effects and accelerating the growth of the spider and mouse.
As for side effects?
The effect of [Master of the Gate] can reduce all side effects to one percent.
And even if it violates the rules, how could that little bit of mental pollution possibly erode him, who possesses a forbidden status?
The despicable outsider chose to exploit the bug directly.
The subsequent mutual aid proceeded smoothly, and good items began to appear frequently, seemingly in anticipation of the collector making another move.
Later on, even precious materials containing the power of magma, such as the [Heart of the Lava Dragon], appeared, but unfortunately...
Lu Yu couldn't afford any of them.
The bark scraps he produced earlier were all created by him using his soul; once he used them up, he would return to being a penniless wretch.
If we dig any further, it will be like draining the pond to catch all the fish!
After staring at it for a while, not only were his eyes tired, but his mind was even more weary. So he simply began to study how to use the Gluttony Cauldron, looking rather uninterested, much to the disappointment of many beast tamers who were waiting for a wealthy patron to choose them. After all, such a mysterious and powerful being who could communicate was a rare find.
However, many people also had their own ideas, thinking that since this person likes some obscure items, they could collect them and then trade them for top-tier treasures.
Lu Yu was unaware that his poverty had directly triggered a competitive frenzy within the mutual aid society.
After the mutual aid meeting ended, Lu Yu and Sun Jie went together to the Black Moon Merchant Guild's black market agency.
It was disguised, but not completely.
By this time, the entrance to the Chamber of Commerce was already crowded with people and noisy, with a large number of receptionists registering information and selling intelligence.
However, because Lu Yu had Sun Jie, the mascot of the black market, with him, he didn't need to queue and was welcomed in directly into the VIP room.
To my utter surprise, the receptionist was Huang Tiantian again.
This wicked woman worked a full day and then continued working the night shift.
Human King of the Scrolls!
This time, Huang Tiantian changed into a uniform. The thin, sheer black bodysuit tightly hugged her fleshy thighs, and the white shirt outlined her mature curves. With the addition of red-soled stiletto heels, she looked even more charming.
If Lu Yu were cultured, he would probably have said, "A fleeting shadow under the moon, like a fairy in a painting," or "Radiant as spring blossoms, bright as the autumn moon."
But he's uneducated and only knows one sentence:
"Very moisturizing!"
Lu Yu was still Lu Yu, but Huang Tiantian had lost her previous composure and confidence, and instead looked like a timid little quail.
The changes actually occurred only a few hours later.
It seems the news has spread. Facing a "collector" who treats a hegemon as a collectible is like standing on the edge of a tsunami; anyone would feel immense pressure.
She probably never imagined that her little brother would become such a big shot in the blink of an eye.
Lu Yu found it amusing, but he didn't play any pranks, because if others don't find it funny, it's not a joke.
So he directly asked for information about the Wild Power Ants. Ancient alien species are also suitable as collectibles, which fits his current persona.
Sun Jie, who was standing to the side, finally had the chance to pay. After rushing to pay the bill, he almost burst into tears and exclaimed:
"The timing of this ancient alien species' appearance is quite coincidental. Most of the beast tamers above Morning Star either cannot leave Dayuan City or are at the border, so it won't affect your mood. I can congratulate you in advance on having another collectible."
Since the collector was going, he had to remind his friends not to get any ideas, otherwise they might not be able to save their lives if they encountered this person.
Lu Yu nodded slightly, a strange feeling lingering in his heart.
The legend of the Wild Force Ant has existed for several years, but it didn't appear earlier or later. It just happened to appear when all the Morning Star Beast Tamers were tied up, and then it was connected to the evil god cult hidden in the abandoned city...
It may not be related, but it's always good to be cautious.
Soon, Huang Tiantian returned, carrying a tray with a specially made mobile phone on it.
Most of the parts inside have been removed, leaving only the function of receiving videos.
According to the rules, the video should be sent out exactly one o'clock after the black market ends, to prevent affecting the black market business.
However, these rules can be flexibly changed when dealing with important figures.
Huang Tiantian bent down, her back to Lu Yu, and because they were so close, she could see that the peaches were very ripe.
It's almost right in my face...
Don't treat collectors like men!
The fist has hardened!
After unlocking and powering on, the video plays.
What came into view was a desolate area. Although the image was shaking violently and appeared somewhat blurry, it was clear that one was standing on red sand and the sun was blazing down from the sky.
Just as the camera owner was about to continue, a golden figure suddenly appeared ahead. As the distance closed, it turned out to be a two-meter-tall golden ant, its entire body as if cast in gold, with a single horn on its forehead.
Its opponent is a three-meter-long sand crocodile, a powerful monster known for its strength.
Enraged by the invasion of its territory by the golden ants, the sand crocodile charged forward, raising its claws powerful enough to crush rocks, ready to tear the intruder to shreds.
Looking at the menacing sand crocodile, Lu Yu pondered:
"For an elite, high-level opponent, I should probably use a power ring..."
Just as he was anticipating witnessing a super-tier skill, the next moment, the flesh on the Wild Power Ant suddenly began to writhe irregularly, and with a cracking sound...
It cracked!
A new day begins, let's continue to ask for recommendation votes, monthly tickets, and follow-up reading! I'll work hard to write every day, and let's release a massive update cycle! Each pet has its own path, but it needs to grow little by little; it can't suddenly know everything. Moreover, skill-enhancing foods can further develop its abilities. Stay tuned!
