Because he had comprehended the Law of Tranquility, Zhao Gongming's cultivation soared like a rocket.

When Zhao Gongming opened his eyes, his cultivation had risen sharply from the early stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal to the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Discovering that his cultivation had reached the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal, an unconcealable smile appeared on Zhao Gongming's face.

He immediately stood up and bowed to Hong Ze, "Thank you, Senior Brother, for granting Gongming this great fortune."

This caused Hong Ze to be momentarily stunned, as the bow Zhao Gongming performed was a half-master's ritual.

This prompted Hong Ze to quickly set aside the eggs in his hand and step forward to help Zhao Gongming up.

"Why are you performing such a grand bow, Junior Brother Gongming? This is too much for me, your Senior Brother."

Zhao Gongming didn't believe that Hong Ze was unaware of the changes that had occurred within him; instead, he subconsciously assumed that Hong Ze simply didn't want to reveal it.

He decided not to mention the matter again and instead turned his gaze to the eggs Hong Ze had just put down.

This glance was significant, as it made Zhao Gongming feel even more incredibly shocked.

"Senior Brother, what are you doing?"

Seeing Zhao Gongming pointing at the eggs he had just acquired, Hong Ze said nonchalantly.

"Just now, Senior Brother saw you were asleep, so I was bored and prepared to fry a couple of eggs to eat. I didn't expect you to wake up so quickly.

Since you're awake, consider yourself lucky. Let's try the fried eggs Senior Brother made together."

After speaking, he picked up the eggs again and broke them without hesitation. As the egg liquid dripped into the bowl, a distorted expression appeared on Zhao Gongming's face.

Seeing Hong Ze's smooth and practiced movements, Zhao Gongming shook his head repeatedly.

"Senior Brother is indeed Senior Brother. To just fry a few Phoenix Eggs like this, it's truly a waste of heavenly treasures."

It turned out that in Zhao Gongming's eyes, these eggs were not ordinary eggs at all, but rare Phoenix Eggs that were hard to find even in a thousand years.

The Phoenix Clan was the leader of the avian species, dominating the Primordial World for countless eons. Unfortunately, after the initial calamity of the Dragon-Phoenix era, they completely declined.

Nowadays, the Phoenix Clan is extremely rare, and the difficulty of finding a Phoenix Egg is absolutely no less than finding an Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Yet, a full six Phoenix Eggs were fried by Hong Ze without any heartache.

However, Zhao Gongming did not speak to stop him, as he didn't believe that Hong Ze wouldn't recognize Phoenix Eggs.

He could only be shocked and sigh at the same time, lamenting that he hadn't met this Senior Brother earlier.

If he had been able to meet this mysterious Senior Brother a few thousand years earlier and become friends with him, he would probably have already become a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Hong Ze had no idea what Zhao Gongming was thinking about over there; he was focused on frying his eggs.

Because Hong Ze was the Great Dao Cooking Saint, the entire process of him frying eggs was imbued with the flow of Dao essence.

This gave Zhao Gongming a lot of benefits, and his cultivation was on the verge of breaking through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

This couldn't help but give Zhao Gongming an idea: to simply move in with Hong Ze.

Even if he had to serve Hong Ze daily and honestly be his Daoist Attendant, Zhao Gongming felt it would be a great blessing for him.

Soon, Hong Ze carried the fried eggs and turned to face Zhao Gongming.

At the same time, he didn't forget to bring a jar of fine wine and two wine bowls.

"Junior Brother Gongming, since you don't like tea, let this senior brother accompany you for a couple of drinks."

With that, he broke open the mud seal and filled a bowl with wine for Zhao Gongming, and also filled a bowl for himself.

Looking at the Innate Spiritual Qi contained in the fine wine in the bowl, Zhao Gongming didn't feel shocked again.

One could even say that at this moment, Zhao Gongming was already numb, feeling that anything happening to his senior brother was absolutely normal.

After all, since he had entered Hong Ze's small courtyard, he had received far too many shocks.

He reached out, picked up the wine bowl, and respectfully said to Hong Ze.

"Senior Brother, today let Junior Brother Gongming use Senior Brother's wine to toast Senior Brother a bowl, to express Junior Brother Gongming's gratitude to Senior Brother."

After saying that, he drained the fine wine in the bowl in one gulp, and didn't forget to turn the wine bowl upside down and shake it.

Hong Ze looked at the straightforward Zhao Gongming and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

As expected of the future Black Tiger Altar Wealth God. This straightforwardness alone is worthy of worship by the world.

It's just a pity his luck wasn't too good, and he ultimately became a famous person on the Investiture of the Gods.

It's just a pity my strength is insufficient, otherwise I would definitely help him change his fate. At the very least, I would make him achieve Physical Body Sanctification.

At the same time, Hong Ze also drained the fine wine in his wine bowl and then said to Zhao Gongming.

"Junior Brother Gongming, come, try the fried eggs I made and see if the taste is satisfactory."

With that, he handed a pair of chopsticks to Zhao Gongming.

Zhao Gongming didn't stand on ceremony and directly picked up the fried egg in front of him.

As he put the fried egg into his mouth, he couldn't help but say to himself inwardly.

To be able to eat a Phoenix Egg, I, Zhao Gongming, can probably be considered a notable figure in the Primordial World.

As the Phoenix Egg entered his mouth, Zhao Gongming instantly felt abundant Fire Spiritual Power entering his body.

At the same time, it began to cleanse the meridians throughout his body, and even formed an inextinguishable flame in his dantian.

This couldn't help but greatly surprise Zhao Gongming, "This is the Phoenix's Nirvana Fire.

Could it be that these Phoenix Eggs that Senior Brother fried were laid by Yuan Feng, the former leader of the Phoenix Clan?"

Nirvana Fire allows a phoenix to be reborn from the ashes, thereby achieving a state of immortality.

If Yuan Feng hadn't sacrificed her soul to protect the Phoenix Clan, perhaps no one in this world could have truly scattered Yuan Feng's soul.

Now that Zhao Gongming had mastered the Phoenix Clan's Nirvana Fire, it was equivalent to possessing the art of rebirth from the ashes. How could Zhao Gongming not be moved?

Zhao Gongming placed the chopsticks in his hand on the table, then took a few steps back and directly knelt on the ground.

"Senior Brother has the grace of rebirth towards Zhao Gongming. From today onwards, I, Zhao Gongming, am willing to follow Senior Brother's lead and be at Senior Brother's beck and call through fire and water."

Hong Ze was startled by the sudden actions of Zhao Gongming and quickly stepped forward, helping Zhao Gongming up again.

"What's wrong, Junior Brother Gongming? It's just a bowl of wine and two fried eggs. Why perform such a grand ceremony?"

In Zhao Gongming's impression, Hong Ze was just pretending to be confused while knowing full well, so he also showed a look of understanding.

He immediately spoke to Hong Ze, saying, "Senior Brother, putting everything else aside, Gongming has taken it all to heart."

After speaking, he picked up the wine jar on the table and once again filled both their wine bowls with fine wine.

Following that, Zhao Gongming and Hong Ze exchanged drinks, and for a while, they drank with great enjoyment.

As several bowls of fine wine went down, their conversation gradually increased.

Hong Ze even asked a question that he had never been able to figure out.

That was, what exactly was Zhao Gongming's true form.

I hope everyone can cast their recommendation votes for the storyteller. Recommendation votes are very important during the new book period.

I hope everyone will not be stingy with the recommendation votes and monthly votes in their hands. If possible, I hope you can write a book review for the storyteller, even if it's just to offer suggestions.
