Chapter 339 Making a Deal

Faced with the question from the spirit of the weapon, Gu Zheng did not hesitate: "Laws are the Tao, and the Tao follows nature. It is everywhere, yet elusive."

After Gu Zheng finished speaking, he stared at the mist on the pot.

After a moment, Gu Zheng thought: "Why are you silent?"

"I thought you had some insights, so I didn't disturb you. Did you gain anything?" the spirit of the weapon asked hurriedly.

"It's not the kind of insights you think. It's just a natural feeling. I feel that a string in my brain has moved, and it seems that my understanding of food has become deeper."

Gu Zheng smiled slightly and began to serve the prepared wind speed food.

"Although I can't explain it clearly in words, today I came naturally, and it must be a good start! Enlightenment, enlightenment, you may realize it at any time?" The spirit of the weapon said happily.

"Well, you are right, but this matter can't be rushed, let it go!"

The wind speed food has been served by Gu Zheng in a special container, and will be handed over to Liu Yunzi to take away later. Afterwards, Gu Zheng started to deal with the ingredients for making armor food.

Like the fast food cultivator, Gu Zheng also "made up" an outrageous iron armor food cultivator. Two iron armor food cultivators can allow him to harvest a lot of food.

Two kinds of food cultivators, two of each, Gu Zheng delivered them in a short time. Liu Yunzi and Han Shanzi did not stay in Emei for long. They hurriedly left with the prepared food cultivators. Kunlun Ruins was about to open, and they had to deliver the two kinds of food cultivators to the two disciples who entered Kunlun Ruins.

On the third day after Liu Yunzi left, the disciples of Shushan Sect came as promised. There were a total of twelve disciples, including three that Gu Zheng had seen in Shuxu. The leader was an elder of Shushan.

In addition to bringing people here, the elder of Shushan also brought Gu Zheng some materials needed to repair the Chaos Tower.

There are many materials needed to repair the Chaos Tower, including: cloud pattern red copper, dragon scale gold yuan, Qinggang black iron, hundred-refined steel, black jade silver, deep sea soft gold, space stone, warm jade crystal, black ancient wood, blood maple tree core, cold fragrant pine wood. Some refining materials produced by spirit monsters, earth monsters, mysterious monsters, and heavenly monsters, several immortal weapons, and special refining materials - golden spirit energy.

Among these materials, the spirits lack only four types, namely: dragon scale gold yuan, warm jade crystal, blood maple tree core, and golden spirit energy.

Gu Zheng has already obtained the warm jade crystal from Ouyang Hai, and among the large amount of materials brought by Shushan this time, in addition to several immortal weapons that surprised Gu Zheng, there is actually a sufficient amount of dragon scale gold yuan!

Sending Gu Zheng a few immortal weapons is not to say that Shushan has too many immortal weapons and has no place to use them, but these immortal weapons are all left by the ancestors and are broken beyond repair. However, such immortal weapons can be used to repair the Chaos Tower, although it is a bit reluctant, but it can be regarded as usable.

Arrange Shushan disciples to enter the Chaos Tower for cultivation, and Gu Zheng also handed the materials to Jiaojiao.

"I didn't expect that the master could get so many materials in such a short time. This is great. I can start the preliminary repair."

The materials sent by Shushan Sect have been placed in the Chaos Tower, and Jiaojiao seems particularly happy.

"Don't just be happy. Shushan Sect can send so many materials this time, which is a way to solve the problem once and for all. It will be difficult to get materials from them to repair the Chaos Tower in the future. At most, they will help collect information."

Gu Zheng's words are not unreasonable. After all, when the Shushan elder handed the materials to Gu Zheng, he told Gu Zheng a piece of news. The Shushan elder said that the black ancient wood used to repair the Chaos Tower was owned by a family surnamed Zhao outside Mount Emei, and asked Gu Zheng to go there to take a look.

If Shushan didn't want to solve the problem once and for all, then things like this where they already knew the clues should be handled by them in person! But the fact is that they brought the news to Gu Zheng from afar and asked him to go and look for them. They also said that the Zhao family was at the foot of Mount Emei. If Gu Zheng, the head of Emei, went there, things would be smoother.

Although Gu Zheng was the head of Emei, he didn't know the people or things around Mount Emei. What's more, Emei is also a hidden sect. Not to mention Gu Zheng, the head who changed his job halfway, even Wuyou and Wuchou didn't have much friendship with the people at the foot of the mountain.

"Master, don't worry. If they don't help with all their strength, I have plenty of ways to deal with them. Aren't they using the 'energy battlefield' now? I can make the dummies in the 'energy battlefield' weaker! After the nine-story tower is repaired, I will also weaken it in the new 'energy battlefield'." After listening to what Gu Zheng said, Jiaojiao said bitterly.

"You can do it! By the way, Jiaojiao, is there any benefit in the primary repair you mentioned?" Gu Zheng asked.

"It doesn't have any direct benefits for the master, but it does for me. After the primary repair is completed, the appearance of the nine-story tower will change, and my control over the nine-story tower will also become stronger." Jiaojiao said.

"I will leave Emei tomorrow. I will go to the family at the foot of the mountain to see if I can buy the black ancient wood, and then go back to the city. As for the materials used to repair the Chaos Tower, I will send them to you when I save some."

There is nothing to do in Emei now, and Gu Zheng really wants to go back to the city.

"Master, you can't go back to the city in a short time!" Jiaojiao said regretfully.

"Why?" Gu Zheng asked.

"You are the master of the Chaos Tower. Repairing the Chaos Tower requires some of your blood and immortal power, so you have to stay in Emei Sect during this period to cooperate with my repair."

After listening to Jiaojiao's explanation, Gu Zheng nodded. Since it takes this to repair the Chaos Tower, it seems that he can only stay for a while.

"Jiaojiao, how long is the period you said?"

"About two months. The repair process will not be very fast." Jiaojiao paused, and then said: "In fact, it is not necessary for the master to stay in Emei Sect every day. The master's blood and immortal power are needed, but only in a specific period of time. In addition, in the following repair process, sometimes the master's blood and immortal power will not be needed, but this time will not exceed two days at most. If the master really wants to return to the city, as long as he can come back in time."

"Forget it, this is very troublesome! If you want to return to the city, you just want to change the environment and stay for a while. Running back and forth, this feeling is not too good."

"Since the master has decided to stay in Emei, I will start repairing the tower now. When the master's blood or immortal power is needed, I will inform the master. The master will stay in the tower for this period of time!"

"Okay, you go and do your thing!"

After Gu Zheng finished speaking, Jiaojiao responded and immediately drilled into the core of the Chaos Tower.

The core of the twenty-two-story tower is a headless and faceless chaos statue on the tower wall. When Jiaojiao's light ball entered the chaos statue, a gray mist immediately burst out of the statue.

The mist covered the materials originally placed on the ground, and then turned into a whirlwind that kept spinning. And the materials in the whirlwind, those that were not strong enough, instantly showed signs of turning into powder.

Gu Zheng watched for a while, this is a decomposition process, he closed his eyes and began to practice.

Unknowingly, four hours passed, and when Gu Zheng opened his eyes, the whirlwind was still spinning, but the things inside, including the strongest fairy weapon, had turned into powder.

"The master has finished practicing, and it just happens that the master's blood and fairy power are needed." Jiaojiao's voice sounded.

"What do you want me to do?" Gu Zheng asked.

"All the powder will enter the core later. Master, drop your blood on the statue, and then input your immortal power into the statue."

As soon as Jiaojiao finished speaking, the whirlwind formed by the mist suddenly disappeared, and the dust floating in the air was attracted by the core statue and drilled into the core statue like a swarm of bees.

"It's now."

Jiaojiao reminded him, and Gu Zheng, who had been prepared, immediately forced blood out of his fingertips and pressed it on the Chaos Statue.

The Chaos Statue, which had a smooth surface and no cracks, could not only absorb dust, but also Gu Zheng's blood, and this absorption was like being sucked by someone's mouth.

"Master, don't panic. We need more of your blood for the first time, but we will need less in the future." Jiaojiao said.

After about a minute of absorption, the suction from the core statue disappeared.

"Master, input your immortal power into it. Don't input it violently, just slowly."

Jiaojiao's voice sounded again, and Gu Zheng condensed the immortal power into a thin stream and slowly input it into the Chaos Statue.

One minute.

Ten minutes.

One hour.

Gu Zheng, who stayed in the tower, did not find anything, but the Emei disciples outside the tower looked at the Emei Tower and started to discuss.

"Is it my illusion? The color of the nine-story tower is changing!"

"No, it's not your illusion. The color of the nine-story tower is indeed changing. It seems to be returning to its original color!"

"What's going on?"

"I heard that the Supreme Elder is repairing the Emei Tower. This may be because of the repair!"

"It is said that after the nine-story tower is repaired, a new 'energy battlefield' will appear. I am looking forward to it!"

"Why are you talking here when you are not practicing?"

"Go back to practice!"

When the Emei disciples were discussing, the two elders Wuyou and Wuchou, who also discovered the abnormality, rushed to the front of the tower and drove all the disciples who were discussing back to practice.

"Master, it's enough. No more immortal power is needed today." An hour and a half later, Jiaojiao's voice sounded.

"When is the next input?"

Although he had been outputting immortal power for an hour and a half, Gu Zheng did not feel tired because it was condensed into a thin stream.

"The next input will be at this time tomorrow. As for the time, it will be shortened. Every time I input immortal power in the future, as long as there is no change in time, it will be at this time." Jiaojiao said.

"Okay, then I will come again tomorrow."

Gu Zheng left the Chaos Tower and stood outside the tower for a while. He saw that the original blood-red nine-story tower body had become much lighter in color. Some places even revealed the original color, giving people a mottled feeling.

"Master, is this because the Emei Tower has been repaired?" Elder Wuyou, who had been staying outside the tower since discovering the abnormality, asked.

"Yes, but this is the most basic repair." Gu Zheng said.

"I hope the repair can be completed as soon as possible. The integrated 22-story tower will look more majestic!" Elder Wuchou smiled.

"Second Elder, come with me to the foot of the mountain!"

Gu Zheng thought of the matter of the Wuchen Ancient Tree. Anyway, there was still some time before the next input of immortal power, so he might as well take this opportunity to get this done.

"Master, let me go with you!" Elder Wuyou said.

"No need, just practice well in the sect, and the second elder can come with me."

Originally, Gu Zheng wanted Elder Wuyou to follow him, but Elder Wuyou had only just advanced to become an immortal cultivator, and it still took time to stabilize his realm, so he chose Elder Wuyou.

Seeing Gu Zheng's resolute attitude, Elder Wuyou didn't insist anymore: "After you go down the mountain with the leader, you should restrain your impatience and don't do any harm to the leader."

There is actually a reason why Wuyou warned Wuyou like this. After getting the news about the Wuchen Ancient Tree, Elder Wuyou had already sent someone to the Zhao family. However, the Zhao family not only denied owning the Wuchen Ancient Tree, but also He was also very rude in his words.

"knew."

Elder Wuyou responded and stuck out his tongue at Elder Wuyou, looking like an old naughty boy. From the beginning to now, the two of them rarely work apart from each other, but every time they separate, Elder Wuyou must listen to Elder Wuyou's instructions! Although there were not many opportunities to be warned, after all, they had been together for decades, and his ears almost felt like calluses.

Compared with the Emei sect in the mountains, the place where the Zhao family is located is considered to be outside the mountains, but compared with the real village outside the mountains, the Zhao family is a villa in the mountains.

The architectural style of the villa is very retro, and the plaque on the door has the two characters "Zhao Mansion" engraved on it.

Gu Zheng and Elder Wuchou are both cultivators. They came to the Zhao family from the sect. Although they traveled through mountains and rivers, it did not take much time.

After Elder Wuchou knocked on the door, an old man who looked about the same age as Elder Wuchou and wore a gray gown poked his head out from behind the door.

"What are you doing?" The old man looked at Gu Zheng and Elder Wuchou for a while, and said in a loud voice.

Elder Wuchou didn't notice anything strange, but the voice of the weapon spirit sounded in Gu Zheng's mind.

"This is a cultivator of inner strength, at the early stage of the third level of cultivation."

Gu Zheng frowned slightly. He originally thought that the Zhao family was a wealthy family, but now it seemed that was not the case. The old man in front of him was dressed like a servant from a wealthy family in the old society. A practitioner with a third level of inner strength came out to open the door of an expensive villa built in a deep mountain. The owner of the Zhao Mansion should have some background!

"We are here to make a deal with you. I heard that you have ancient dark wood at home?"

Elder Wuchou had a kind smile on his face, but it seemed that because he spoke too abruptly, his smile also seemed a little malicious.

"Two young men also came to the Zhao Mansion two days ago to say they wanted to buy some dark-stained ancient wood. Are you together?" The old man smiled coldly.

"Did anyone come to buy the ancient wood in the past two days? It seems that the news leaked out very quickly! Old friend, you'd better sell the ancient wood in your home, otherwise you won't be peaceful living in the mountains!"

Elder Wuchou had an expression of "I'm doing it for you". As for the two young men the old man mentioned, they were naturally the Emei disciples who had been rejected here.
