Chapter 263 Gu Zheng's Sword Skills

Although the trip to the Tianshan Mountains is full of dangers, the rewards are not small.

The four Gu Zheng people were all injured during this trip to the Tianshan Mountains, but fortunately no personnel were lost. Unlike other sects, the better ones only lost part of their men, and the unluckier ones had their entire army wiped out.

The Qingcheng faction suffered the worst loss this time. No one above the fourth level was able to come out. They originally had five elders at the fifth level, but this time they lost three at once. Such a major blow reduced their overall strength. It suddenly dropped to the same level as Emei. Although they have more disciples than the Emei sect, the Emei sect now has the Chaos Tower. In a real battle, the Qingcheng sect may not be able to surpass Emei.

The four of them traveled all the way, and it took them a day and a night to find a populated place, which saved a lot of time compared to when they went there.

This is a small town called Sanggu Town. Although the town is small, it has all the necessary facilities. There is a small hotel that is not that good, and there is also a bathhouse where you can at least take a bath.

After walking for a day and a night, the four of them were quite tired and settled in the town.

"Master, is it true that the Tianshan Snow Lotus is not with you?"

Lying in the large hot tub that had just been replaced with new water, Wuchou first asked doubtfully that the original plan was arranged by Gu Zheng, but in the end Gu Zheng took off his clothes and didn't see the Tianshan Snow Lotus.

Although Gu Zheng didn't take off all his clothes like Liu Qingyun, he only had his underwear left, which obviously couldn't hide the box of Tianshan Snow Lotus.

"Let's talk about it when we get back!"

Gu Zheng smiled mysteriously and soaked in the hot bath comfortably.

The bathhouse was not big, and both Wuyou and Gu Zheng were a bit mysophobic, so they simply spent a lot of money to have them clean the pool, replace it with new hot water, and then rent out the entire bathhouse for themselves to soak in.

The quality of the water here is not low. Although the water exchanged is not second-rate, it is still the best among the low-grade. It is not easy to drink such water in big cities, but here it is used for bathing, which is very luxurious.

"Master, just tell us whether the Tianshan Snow Lotus is with you or not. You are too impatient!"

Gu An also said something, his heart itching like a cat's paw. He watched Elder Wuyou throw the box containing Tianshan Snow Lotus to Liu Qingyun. In the end, Liu Qingyun didn't have it, and Gu Zheng didn't have it either.

Is it possible that the box can still fly?

"I guess it must be at the headmaster's place!"

Elder Wuyou also spoke. It was Liu Qingyun who was asked by Gu Zheng to throw it to him. Since Gu Zheng asked him to do this, Gu Zheng must have a way to get Tianshan Snow Lotus. Facts have proved that Liu Qingyun does not have it, so he can only get it in There is ancient contention.

However, he also saw Gu Zheng take off his clothes with his own eyes. Tianshan Snow Lotus was not on his body at all. Wuyou himself couldn't guess where it was.

"Go back and talk!"

Gu Zheng laughed, stood up and walked out of the pool, put on clean clothes, and left the bathhouse happily.

The environment of the small hotel was very poor. Gu Zheng and the four of them asked for four rooms, but they did not plan to actually sleep here. They just meditated and adjusted their breath, and then left after resting.

Not long after returning to the inn, Wuyou and the three of them entered Gu Zheng's room again.

The room in the small hotel is very small. There is no bathroom inside. There are only two ordinary wooden beds and a TV. The TV can only receive a few channels. It is just like the small hotels in the 1980s and 1990s. Now outside It's hard to find such a shabby hotel in the city.

"Thousand-year Snow Lotus!"

As soon as he entered the room, Elder Wuyou screamed in surprise. Gu Zheng sat cross-legged on the bed, which was also covered with a layer of mats. The original mats were too dirty and uncomfortable to sit on.

In front of him, there was a box, which was the Tianshan Snow Lotus Box they were fighting for in the sky.

"It's really at your place, Master. Where are you hiding? How come no one could find it at that time!"

Gu An called out and quickly ran to the bed. Wuyou and Wuyou also walked over. Wuyou went to open the box. Inside lay a jade-like snow lotus. It was the same one that had matured in Tianshan Mountain. Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus.

There is also a colorful snow lotus seed wrapped in the snow lotus, which is their biggest goal this time, the thousand-year snow lotus seed.

"That's right, Master, how did you do it?"

Wuchou raised his head, smelled it curiously, and kept looking at Gu Zheng. They had been together these days, and they really couldn't figure out where Gu Zheng had hidden the Tianshan Snow Lotus.

"The reason is kept secret. You just need to know about it. There is no need to spread it outside!"

Gu Zheng chuckled. Of course Tianshan Snow Lotus was in his ancient space, but he would definitely not say such a thing.

Seeing the Tianshan Snow Lotus, Wuyou and the others never closed their mouths. During this trip to the Tianshan Mountains, other sects lost their troops and gained nothing, but they made a lot of money. Not only did they harvest four good materials, but also There is the Tang Dao, the immortal weapon from before, and the ultimate goal this time, Tianshan Snow Lotus Seed.

With this snow lotus seed, with Gu Zheng's cultivation speed, I believe he will be able to use it soon, and it will most likely help him advance to the realm of an immortal cultivator.

By then, there is really hope for Emei to recover.

Both Wuyou and Wuyou are full of joy, with white crystals in their eyes. Even though they are older, they can't control their emotions like young people.

"Elder Wuyou, this Snow Lotus Seed is different from what we imagined. Its quality is higher than our expectations. It can be taken directly without refining the Snow Lotus Pill. Moreover, the chance of breakthrough is not 50%, but 100%, 100%. You can break through!”

Gu Zheng said slowly with a smile on his face. The three of them raised their heads at the same time, their eyes full of shock.

After mutation, this snow lotus seed is no longer of medium grade, but has reached the excellent grade. This is also the highest grade of Tianshan snow lotus seed among all the raw materials and ingredients that Gu Zheng has seen.

Excellent grade, it is indeed extraordinary.

The woman of Taiji Dao is probably waiting for this mutated Tianshan snow lotus seed to revive. Only the thousand-year-old snow lotus seed that has reached the excellent grade can revive a high-level cultivator who has existed in the prosperous law era.

Unfortunately, they met Gu Zheng. Not only did they not get the snow lotus seed, but even the immortal weapon that maintained her body was taken away by Gu Zheng, and there was no hope of resurrection.

"Elder Wuyou, take the snow lotus seed and take it when it is appropriate. Let Elder Wuchou put the snow lotus in the treasure house first!"

Gu Zheng said to Elder Wuyou again. In fact, Gu Zheng was reluctant to give up this excellent grade snow lotus seed. Whether it was ordinary or medium grade ingredients, his prehistoric space had them, and he could harvest them continuously in the future, but there was no excellent grade. This was also the first excellent grade ingredient he got.

If he was asked to use snow lotus seeds to cook food, he believed that he could make the most delicious food in the world. However, it would be too wasteful. Not to mention that others would not allow it, even Gu Zheng himself would not allow it.

Gu Zheng is no longer the time when he knew nothing about cultivation at the beginning. He knows very well the significance of a cultivator to a sect. Wuyou has reached the late fifth level. He practices diligently. As long as he reaches the perfect state of the late fifth level, he can take snow lotus and advance to become a real cultivator.

With cultivators, Emei can be regarded as a real famous sect and can revive its glory.

"Me?"

Wuyou stretched out his finger and pointed at his nose. Wuchou and Gu An also looked at Gu Zheng with the same expression.

"Master, you misunderstood!"

Wuyou quickly laughed and continued, "I will not take this snow lotus. This is for you, the master, to use for the advanced cultivators. Since it can 100% help people advance, you should keep it. I am old, even if I am promoted to a cultivator, my future achievements will be limited, but it is different for the master. After the master is promoted, he can practice to a higher level. Only when the master's strength is improved, our Emei can be truly revived!"

Wuyou did not expect that Gu Zheng would give him the snow lotus seeds.

Although he himself had never thought of getting the snow lotus seeds, he was very pleased that Gu Zheng could think and do so. They did not choose the wrong person. Although this master was captured by them, the means were not bright, but the final result was good.

This is a master who deserves their trust and their efforts.

"I don't need it!"

Gu Zheng shook his head gently. He also did not expect that Wuyou was thinking about him, and he was also moved in his heart.

But he really didn't need it. He was a cultivator. As long as he reached the realm, he could directly enter the realm of cultivators. Moreover, the technique he practiced was different from others. He practiced the Tiexian Xian Jue, which could be promoted continuously.

If he took the snow lotus seeds, that would be the biggest waste.

"Master, don't say anything. I must keep this snow lotus seed for you. Even if you give it to me, I won't take it!"

Wuyou thought Gu Zheng insisted on leaving it for him, and immediately shook his head again.

The fifth level was promoted to the realm of refining essence into qi. It was not only the increase in strength, but also several times the life span. It was not easy to resist such temptation.

No matter how many levels of internal strength you practice, you are still a mortal. After a hundred years, you will return to the dust. Even if someone's physique becomes better after practice, more than a hundred years is the limit.

Cultivators are different. Cultivators are no longer pure humans. They are real immortals. The life span of cultivators who refine essence into qi is at least ten generations. If they can practice some advanced immortal techniques, their life span will be higher, and there will be no problem reaching a thousand years.

This is just the realm of refining essence into qi. If you can be promoted to the realm of refining qi into spirit, you can live a long life and some people can live for more than fifty generations.

When you reach the realm of refining spirit and returning to the void, a life span of one hundred generations is easy, and many people can even live to nearly ten thousand years.

When you reach the realm of Golden Immortal and Daluo Golden Immortal, it is said that the life span is calculated in terms of one hundred thousand years and one million years. If you can break through the Daluo Golden Immortal and reach the realm of saint, you can have endless life span and truly live as long as the heaven and the earth.

Not to mention the existence of such a distant place, Emei itself has a good immortal cultivation method. As long as you break through, there is absolutely no problem with a life span of seven or eight hundred years, or even thousands of years. Whether it is Wuyou or Gu Zheng, in the eyes of Wuchou and Gu An, it is equivalent to shirking this huge temptation, which makes the two admire it even more.

With such a head and elder, why should Emei worry about not being able to revive and rise?

"Great elder, let's do this. I'll keep the snow lotus seeds for now. It's safest to keep them with me. You should hurry up and practice. As for me, if I can't break through to the realm of a cultivator, then I'll take them. But if I become a cultivator on my own, then you can't refuse the snow lotus seeds anymore!"

Gu Zheng proposed a compromise. Neither Gu Zheng nor Wu You were qualified to take the snow lotus seeds. Snow lotus seeds were used when breaking through, and they needed to be perfected in the late fifth level. Although Wu You had reached the late fifth level, he had not yet reached the perfect level and needed to practice for a few more years.

In a few years, Gu Zheng was confident that he could reach the realm of a cultivator on his own.

He has only been practicing for a few months now, and the Tiexian Xian Jue has reached the third tenth of the second realm, and is about to reach the fourth tenth. He still has a lot of Xianyuan Pills. If he does not keep these Xianyuan Pills and eats them all, he will not break through the second realm, but at least reach the second realm.

In that case, his strength will definitely break through the third level, and he also has Xianxing Fruit, which can increase his Yuan food. If he really can't do it, he can also take the test and get rewards.

Xianyuan Pills are the most common prizes among the rewards.

It can be said that he has many ways to increase his cultivation. Gu Zheng believes that it will not take a few years to truly reach the realm of refining essence into qi, and it may be faster than Wuyou's advancement.

"Okay, follow the opinion of the head!" Wuyou hesitated for a while, and finally nodded heavily.

If Gu Zheng can break through to the realm of immortal cultivators by himself, then there is really no need for snow lotus seeds. It would be a waste to give them to Gu Zheng. If that is the case, there will be no problem for him to take them himself, and the Emei Sect will have two immortal cultivators.

With two immortal cultivators, the strength of Emei Sect has been greatly enhanced, and its status will also increase.

There are only five immortal cultivators in the main branch of Shushan now, but these five are veteran immortal cultivators, and their strength is much stronger than the newly promoted ones. It is impossible to surpass Shushan, but it is no problem to become the most powerful branch of Shushan and let Shushan look at them differently.

Emei has never had the intention to compete with Shushan, even their founder, who is now the elder of Honghuang Shushan.

The snow lotus seeds will be stored in Gu Zheng's place for the time being according to Gu Zheng's words. Wuyou and Wuchou have no objection to this. They were originally intended to give them to Gu Zheng, and there is nothing wrong with putting them there.

Gu Zheng has the Honghuang space, and the snow lotus seeds are absolutely safe in the Honghuang space, and the Emei treasure house is also safe. Wuyou and Wuchou are worthy of absolute trust, but it is not known whether other disciples can resist the snow lotus seeds. If they know the existence of the snow lotus seeds and its efficacy, it will be a test of the humanity of all Emei disciples.

If there is a person who cannot withstand the test, it will be a big trouble. It is better to leave it here with Gu Zheng and hide it from other disciples.

After resting for a day in the town, the four people hired a car and continued on their way.

After the car had been driving for less than an hour, the four people let it go back. The road out of the town was not very good. It was a dilapidated van, and it was very uncomfortable to sit in the bumpy ride. It was better to walk by yourself.

Although walking by yourself was not fast, it was at least much more comfortable. Even if it was all uninhabited grasslands and mountains, the four people had no worries. Unless they encountered particularly powerful spirit beasts, they would not pose any threat to them.

"Master, I didn't expect your barbecue to be so delicious!"

During the lunch break, Gu Zheng roasted a few wild rabbits, all of which were casually killed on the road. The wild rabbits were generally low-grade ingredients. They might enter places with people. The wild rabbits here did not reach the second-class level.

"If it tastes good, eat more!"

The barbecue tasted really good, but Gu Zheng had eaten too many good things, so he could only say that this barbecue was so-so and could fill his stomach. Gu An and Wuyouwuchou, on the other hand, ate with their mouths full of oil. The biggest gain for them from this trip to Tianshan was that they had eaten a lot of delicious food that they had never eaten before.

They really didn't expect that their leader had such good cooking skills. Now, no matter how they looked at it, they were extremely satisfied with their leader.

Gu Zheng stood up after eating, walked to the side, and took out the immortal weapon Tang sword that he had obtained from Tianshan.

After the immortal weapon recognized its master, there was a layer of connection between Gu Zheng and the Tang sword, like a blood connection, but the connection was very vague. The Tang sword seemed to have suffered too much torture and was not conscious.

The Tang sword now seemed to have not recognized its master in Gu Zheng's hand. It was drowsy and Gu Zheng didn't even know its real name.

Unlike the Emei ring, when Gu Zheng recognized the Emei ring as his master, all the information about the Emei ring immediately appeared in his mind.

Although the Tang sword was damaged, it was still a fairy weapon after all, and its hardness was far beyond that of ordinary swords. Gu Zheng held the Tang sword and moved slowly. He had learned four fairy skills, namely the Misty Body Technique, the Mountain-Opening Palm Technique, the Mountain-Opening Sword Technique, and the Falling Leaf Sword Technique.

There was just one set of sword skills. Although the Tang sword could not cooperate with Gu Zheng, it was a sword after all. Gu Zheng held the sword with both hands, and recalled the appearance of the Mountain-Opening Sword Technique in his head, and could not help but practice it on the side.

The Tang sword was a little different from the broadsword. The handle was very long, the blade was slender, and the actual combat ability was very strong. The Japanese sword evolved from the Tang sword. The Tang sword was very beautiful in the hand. There was no restriction on Gu Zheng's Mountain-Opening Sword Technique. It could be held with one hand or two hands. However, the sword was mostly held with two hands to increase the strength, unlike the sword, many of which were held with one hand.

Gu Zheng held the long sword with both hands, slowly chopped forward, and the sword style turned, and the Mountain-Opening Sword Technique was used unnaturally.

Like the Mountain-Opening Palm, the Mountain-Opening Sword Technique does not have fixed moves. It can be combined at will, which will produce thousands of changes, making it impossible to detect any traces and impossible to defend against.

The three people who were eating roasted rabbits gradually put down their food and looked at Gu Zheng's sword dance in surprise.

"Good sword technique!"

Wuchou murmured. He also practiced swords, but he practiced flying swords. He didn't know much about sword techniques. Even so, he could see that Gu Zheng's sword technique was not bad.

"This is not an ordinary martial art. Some powerful ancient martial arts can't compare to this sword technique!"

After watching it for a while, Elder Wuyou also sighed. Gu Zheng's set of swordsmanship seemed ordinary at first, but the more he looked at it, the more frightening he became. He had just put himself into it. If he and Gu Zheng were to fight, Regardless of their internal strength, they only competed with each other in terms of moves. He would be defeated in less than ten moves.

After ten moves, he still overestimated himself. He knew very well that he was making a comparison from the sidelines. In actual combat, being able to pass three moves would be a big hurdle.

The sword technique that made him unable to deal with even three moves was definitely the best among the best. Wuyou and Wuyou both remembered what Gu Zheng said before. He was a casual cultivator, and his master had not even seen him. However, looking at it now, Gu Zheng's master must be an ancient immortal cultivator, and a very powerful immortal cultivator.

Gu Zheng's mountain knife technique was not satisfactory after practicing it once, so he practiced it a second time in a different order.

Soon there was a third and fourth time. Each time was different. Each time Gu Zheng felt that his understanding of sword skills had deepened a lot. It seemed that whether it was an immortal skill or an immortal skill, he needed to practice more. , more practice can improve it.

This also shows the importance of actual combat. The Emei Sect has many inner strength, mental methods, martial arts and ancient martial arts. Each disciple has mastered at least one martial skill, and some even have many kinds.

But learning and taking full control are two different things.

Learned, just understood it for a while, but did not really integrate it, and did not really apply this set of martial arts to myself. The so-called know-how is just to know the airs and moves, but when it comes to actual combat, it will be full of flaws.

This is also the reason why Wuyou and the others attach so much importance to Emei Tower after it was opened.

Emei Pagoda allows disciples to practice actual combat, and it is a life-and-death actual combat. Only in actual combat can the learned martial arts be truly owned by oneself, truly become one's own strength, and be able to adapt to any situation that may occur.

Gu Zheng is different from these ordinary disciples. When he learns his immortal skills, they are imprinted in his mind. He has gained proficiency, but his adaptability and flexibility also require more practice, so as to enhance the power of the immortal skills.

Gu Zheng practiced for ten times before he stopped. When he stopped, he was already sweating profusely.

The ten times of the Mountain Sword Technique consumed a lot of his immortal power, but it gave him a sense of venting pleasure. In the past, he did not have a knife, nor did he do any practical work, and practiced very little. This time he had this magical sword. The Tang Sword and his trip to heaven gave him a great impression. Gu Zheng decided to practice more after returning, whether it was mountain sword techniques or palm techniques.

When practicing sword skills, Gu Zheng also discovered that there are many points of integration between sword skills and palm skills. If you practice one well, you will also increase your understanding and appreciation of the other. This means that he only needs to practice these two magical skills once. One kind, the other will also increase proficiency and strength accordingly, which is worthy of being a top-notch immortal skill.

"Master, did your martial arts master teach you this set of martial arts? It's really amazing!"

When Gu Zheng came back, Wuchou first praised him. He had just substituted himself, but no matter how he substituted, he was still no match for Gu Zheng, which made him very frustrated.

In actual combat, the current Gu Zheng is indeed not up to par with him. That's because his strength is several levels higher than Gu Zheng's. The gap in strength can no longer be made up by moves, but in terms of moves alone, he can't do even ten of them.

Elder Wuyou was thinking about another thing. Fortunately, Gu Zheng was not strong. Fortunately, he was only at the third level now.

If Gu Zheng was also at the fifth level, they didn't know who caught whom in Mount Emei that day. Even if Gu Zheng was only at the early stage of the fifth level, he and Wuchou wouldn't have been able to catch Gu Zheng.

With such martial arts, not to mention the same level, even one level higher, he may not be Gu Zheng's opponent.

"That's right, they were all taught by my master whom I have never met before!"

Gu Zheng smiled slightly and did not deny this, but his skills were not martial arts, but immortal skills. They were all taught to him by Tiexian, whom he had never met before.

"Your master is really awesome!"

Wuchou said enviously that Emei was a major sect that existed during the heyday of martial arts. Even so, Emei did not have martial arts that could compare with Gu Zheng's. This showed that Gu Zheng's master was more powerful than they imagined. sharp.

Gu Zheng didn't say much on this topic. After resting, the four of them continued on their way.

In the evening, they finally arrived at a county town. The conditions in the county town were much better than those in small towns. At least there was a decent hotel. The four of them rested in the hotel for one night, then chartered a car again and headed to the nearest city with an airport.

The road here was not as bumpy as that in small towns. The way back went smoothly. The four of them returned directly to Mount Emei. They had been out for nearly a month and it had been a long time since they had made delicious food for the white cat. I don’t know. Will it be in a hurry?

Everything in Emei is still the same as before. The Emei Tower does not need special personnel to control it and can be opened every day. When Wuchou is not around, a fourth-level late-stage disciple is guarding here, allowing the disciples to take turns to train with him in actual combat.

In the past few months, the Emei disciples have made rapid progress, and all of them have enhanced their actual combat abilities. Many people have been promoted, and the Emei Pagoda has contributed a lot.

Outside Emei, as soon as Gu Zheng started grilling meat, the white cat appeared.

The white cat looked at Gu Zheng with its red eyes, a little afraid, but also kind. After a while, it walked to Gu Zheng's side and lay down against Gu Zheng's body. Its white body was still rubbing against Gu Zheng's body. rub.

After such a long period of contact, Gu Zheng no longer had any fear of the white cat. He knew that it was a spiritual beast with certain intelligence. Gu Zheng was still talking to it during the barbecue, and the white cat barked from time to time, like In response.

What Gu Zheng was talking about was about Tianshan. When he talked about Tai Chi controlling monsters, the white cat screamed angrily. When he talked about Gu Zheng killing the old man in white, the white cat rubbed against Gu Zheng again. stand up.

This made Gu Zheng sigh. It would be great if the white cat could always be so obedient. The white cat has the strength of a true immortal cultivator. It must obey him completely. With such a powerful spiritual beast following him, his trip to the Tianshan Mountains No need to worry at all.

There are no corpses or monsters that are no match for the white cat.

He only dared to think about this idea. Even if the white cat was obedient, he would not dare to take it with him. After all, it was a powerful spiritual beast. If one day the wild one came up, the destructive power would be huge. Gu Zheng spends most of his time in the city. If he causes damage in the city, then Gu Zheng will be an eternal sinner.

After feeding the white cat and chatting with the Chaos Tower Artifact Spirit for a while, Gu Zheng left Emei the next day.

Both Wuyou and Wuyou knew that their hearts as heads were not here, and it would be too much to force them to stay, so they let Gu Zheng leave with peace of mind, as long as Gu Zheng had Emei in his heart. Just like this time, if Gu Zheng hadn't been here, , let alone such a big harvest, they might even lose their manpower.

After a month, Gu Zheng returned to Shanghai.

The business at the Guji Chicken Blood Soup shop is still booming. Gu Zheng is not here, and the 888 Chicken Blood Soup shop has completely stopped. Many people are asking, but Gu Zheng can’t even get through the phone in Tianshan. There is nothing you can do.

I really can’t eat Guzheng’s chicken blood soup, so I can only eat something else. Fortunately, the store now not only offers chicken blood soup, but also noodles, roast chicken and bucket chicken. Every taste is delicious. Excellent, absolutely comforting to eat.

The business in the store is still booming, and the store manager still continues the rules of Gu Zheng, but Gu Zheng is no longer there, and some people who have eaten chicken blood soup can fish in troubled waters and sneak in during the newcomers' time.

After Gu Zheng understood this situation, he simply removed this stipulation. At that time, this stipulation was to help complete the test. Now that the test has ended long ago, it is useless to keep it.

The store's business is completely on track. Forty roast chickens and bucket chickens are delivered every day, and they are sold out before noon every day. Both types of chicken are highly rated and cannot be found in the Shencheng market. to similar foods that can compare with them.

In Shanghai, even the famous roast chicken and bucket chicken cannot compare with them in terms of taste.

The same goes for noodles. There are many restaurants in Shanghai that make noodles. There are tens of thousands of them, big and small. None of them can compare with the noodles in Guji Chicken Blood Soup. The noodles here are so delicious. You eat and want to eat again.

These three kinds of delicacies were originally found through ancient competitions. They are all delicacies that are more delicious than the most famous traditional snacks. They are top-notch existences in their category.

Coupled with the improvements made by Gu Zheng, not only are they the best in the country, but at least they can actually taste better than what they make. There are very few, and definitely not in Shencheng.

During this time, Guji Chicken Blood Soup has been featured on various food channels, whether on websites or TV stations, everyone is introducing it.

Everything at Guji Chicken Blood Soup is really delicious. You can’t fault it at all, and it’s definitely better than similar products. In this way, even if they sell it more expensive, others won’t say anything. It’s expensive. The reason is that everyone can accept that good things are more expensive.

For many people, they are not afraid of expensive things, but they want value for money. Gu Ji Chicken Blood Soup is expensive, but it is the best, and that’s fine. The best things should be more expensive.

The store is now basically managed by the store manager and Gao Changhe. Whenever Gu Zheng leaves, he doesn't see anyone for more than ten or twenty days. Chang Feng is better than him, but he only goes there every now and then.

He went back simply because the food outside was not as delicious as his own, and he came back to satisfy his appetite.

It's a pity that Gu Zheng is not here. The most delicious food is the delicacies made by Gu Zheng. Chang Feng has talked about it many times these days. Unfortunately, he doesn't even know where Gu Zheng went, and he can't get through on the phone. I can wait forever.

"We're home!"

Gu Zheng opened the door and quickly lay down on the sofa. Before, he was at home every day and didn't think that this home where he was alone was much. But after being out for a long time, he realized that no matter how good the place outside was, it couldn't compare to his own. Home.

"Cai Cai, I am a spinach..."

As soon as I powered up my phone and turned it on, the call came in. Gu Zheng had been outside these days and couldn't use his phone at all, so I didn't bother to charge it. I didn't think about it until I got home.

The call was from Du Yang. Last time Du Yang helped Gu Zheng participate in a competition with duck blood fan Chef Yang, he was framed by his boss, the old witch. Instead, he was a blessing in disguise, gained the appreciation of his boss, and was promoted like a rocket.

Speaking of which, Gu Zheng hadn't seen him for several months. This guy went to participate in three-month training, and now it seems that the training has ended.

"You finally turned on your phone. Where have you been during this time? Do you know that we are going crazy looking for you!"

As soon as Gu Zheng got through, Du Yang started yelling on the other end of the phone. Not only Du Yang, but also Zhao Yongkui and the others were there.

"I went to the mountains and my phone didn't work there. I just turned it on when I got back!"

Gu Zheng hurriedly explained that these friends really cared about him. It seemed that they often called him, so they got through after he turned on the phone.

"I hope you're okay. I graduated a week ago and was promoted to deputy director. I originally wanted to invite some of you to have a nice happy life, but I didn't expect that I couldn't contact you. It's been a week!"

Du Yang breathed a sigh of relief and complained again. A week ago, Du Yang returned from training and was appointed as the deputy director of the marketing department, managing the five teams he worked for before.

Among these five teams, there is the one he worked for at the beginning.

The former supervisor has now become his subordinate. Don't mention how relieved Du Yang felt. Especially when he saw the old witch facing his trepidation, he wanted to laugh wildly to let this old witch who looked down on people see what it meant to be in trouble for thirty years.

In fact, there was no thirty years at all. It was only three or four months, and their status had completely changed.

Du Yang felt relieved and did not forget his friends. He asked them out. At that time, he found that Gu Zheng could not be contacted. They went to the store to inquire and learned that Gu Zheng had not been to the store for more than ten days.

This made them panic. If Chang Feng hadn't repeatedly assured them that everything was fine, they would have wanted to call the police.

Chang Feng knew how powerful Gu Zheng was and that he was a practitioner of ancient martial arts. As long as he didn't go to a dangerous place, he would be fine, so he dared to guarantee it once.

However, if Chang Feng knew where Gu Zheng was going this time and how dangerous that place was, I wonder if he would still dare to make such a promise. I'm afraid he would be scared.

"Congratulations, you've been promoted and made a fortune. Now you're also a gold-collar level. It's time to find a girlfriend and plan your lifelong affairs!"

Gu Zheng first congratulated him, and then teased him, which really helped him change the subject.

"What gold-collar? They're all part-time workers, but their wages have indeed increased a lot. Are you free today? Come out and I'll treat you!"

"If you're free, you're free. Mr. Du summoned me, so I have to be free even if I'm not!" Gu Zheng laughed, but Du Yang felt embarrassed.

Du Yang now has a word "General" on his business card. The director is also "General", and even if he's a deputy, the company still calls him that. At first, he felt a little weird, but he got used to it after a long time.

There are many "Generals" in society now, and they don't count.

Gu Zheng had just come back and was about to leave. He was a little reluctant, but there was nothing he could do. Who told him not to say hello before leaving, which delayed his friends for so long?

After hanging up the phone, his phone began to receive text messages continuously. He had a call reminder function. When the phone was turned off, he would receive text messages to remind anyone who called. This was just the latest news. There were hundreds of messages, most of which were from Du Yang and his friends.

It looked like they were calling every day. I was afraid that if he came back a few days later, they would dare to call the police.

In addition to Du Yang, there were several calls from his father Gu Ming. Gu Zheng saw the messages and hurriedly called back.

Gu Ming didn't have anything important to do. He just asked Gu Zheng how he was preparing for the Chinese Food Competition and whether he needed his help. Gu Ming also attached great importance to Gu Zheng's participation in this competition. Gu Ming became famous through the Chinese Food Competition and knew very well how such a competition would help a person.

In addition, Gu Ming also asked Gu Zheng to rush to Beijing as soon as possible to meet some elders, who might be the judges this time.

No one knows who the judges are, not even the judges themselves. They will not accept the invitation until the end, just to prevent cheating.

But many people will prepare in advance. They will visit some people who may become judges and give them gifts, hoping that they can take care of them during the competition.

There is more than one person who does this. Almost half of the 300 contestants are doing this. The final result is that you give gifts and I give gifts. Everyone gives gifts, and finally the judges treat everyone equally.

There is no way. Who makes us a society of favors in China? You can choose not to flatter anyone, but don't offend them. Maybe I can give you a small shoe and make you extremely painful.

In addition to Gu Ming, there is also a call from Gao Lao.

Gao Lao's meaning is similar to Gu Ming. He also introduced some people for Gu Zheng to visit. It's all for Gu Zheng's good. After Gu Zheng thanked him, he showed a little helplessness on his face.

Even the most important food competition in China cannot be exempted. Although his father and Gao Lao called, Gu Zheng did not plan to do so. A competition is a competition. If you can win with your cooking skills, you can win. If you can't win, that's the cooking skills' business. If there is such a dark inside story, this competition will not have such a big influence.

However, the few people introduced by Gu Ming should go. He dare not disobey Gu Ming's special instructions.

No matter how capable he is now, no matter he is the head of Emei or the boss of Gu Ji Chicken Blood Soup, Gu Ming is his father. Naturally, he has to listen to his father's words. This is the most basic principle.

"Gu Zheng, here!"

When he came out of the subway station, he saw Du Yang, Wang Tao and Zhao Yongkui waving to him. The three of them had arrived and met together.

It was almost dinner time. Du Yang asked Gu Zheng to go to the Bund, a very prosperous place.

"There's a nice Michelin restaurant here, I'll treat you guys to it!"

Du Yang raised his eyebrows when he saw Gu Zheng, and said with a smile, Wang Tao immediately said: "Mr. Du is Mr. Du, he is really different after being promoted to CEO, all the food stalls before have been upgraded to Michelin restaurants now!"

"Go to hell, if Gu Zheng hadn't come back today, do you think I would be willing to spend so much money, if you don't want to go, forget it, let's go to the night market!"

Wang Tao was kicked in the butt by Du Yang, and he grinned hurriedly, pulling Du Yang's neck and said: "Don't, I'm just talking, we must go to Michelin, why go to a food stall!"

The few people have known each other for a long time, and they are used to making trouble, and they walked towards the hotel while making trouble.

This Michelin restaurant is near the Bund, not the real Bund. Looking at their sign, it is a Michelin two-star restaurant, but the sign is a little wrong, and Gu Zheng frowned.

Gu Zheng's father is the chef of a Michelin restaurant. He knows Michelin restaurants very well. Michelin works seriously, but the sign is wrong. This is almost impossible.

Gu Zheng secretly took out his mobile phone and searched. Sure enough, there is no such restaurant among the Michelin two-star restaurants in Shanghai.

This is a fake store. I don't know who Du Yang heard it from, and he was fooled and came here.

Although it is a fake, it is well decorated. After all, everyone knows that Michelin has strict requirements. A roadside fly restaurant, even if you want to pretend to be a Michelin restaurant, you always have to have someone believe it. If no one believes it, your impersonation is useless, except for being laughed at.

Thank you to the leader Xiaokoudai for the reward of 50,000 starting coins. I have something to do today and can't add more. I will make up for it tomorrow!
