Chapter 419 Seeing the Spirit of the Weapon
"Yes, you've become smarter!" The spirit of the weapon smiled.
"Does it have to be like the form of the Fire Control Art, where you encounter a spirit beast with the same attributes to complete the trigger?" Gu Zheng asked helplessly.
"Yes, in fact, the trigger rewards in the Five Elements Immortal Art are all in the same form." The spirit of the weapon said.
"Well, it's really depressing! Without the Water Spirit Pill, there is no corresponding trigger reward, and there is no way to devour the spirit beast spirit pill or inner pill. Otherwise, this trigger reward would have been completed when I was in Shuxu. The soft-shelled turtle killed at that time should be considered a water-based spirit beast, right?"
"The soft-shelled turtle is indeed a water-based spirit beast, but you don't have to worry. If you are not in a place like Shuxu, you can't complete this trigger task. Aren't you going to Wufeng Island in a while? Don't forget that Wufeng Island is on the sea. The number of spirit beasts in the sea is actually much more than on land. When you kill one, won't you complete the trigger task?"
"That's true."
Gu Zheng nodded, and then picked up the sixth prize.
The sixth prize was a box. After opening the box, there were twelve small khaki flags inside. Each flag had immortal power fluctuations and different mysterious characters on it.
"What is this? A set of immortal tools?" Gu Zheng asked.
"It is a set of immortal tools, but they should be called 'array tools'. They are tools used to set up arrays. They are useless if used separately as immortal tools. The flag inside is called 'array flag'. There is also a jade slip under the array flag, which contains relevant information about the 'immortal trap array'."
After the sound of the weapon spirit fell, Gu Zheng took out the jade slip and put it on his forehead. The information about the 'immortal trap array' immediately appeared in his mind.
"Hey, weapon spirit, where are the four cooking skills?"
There was only one pill left for the remaining reward. Gu Zheng did not see the seventh reward mentioned by the weapon spirit.
"To become a true immortal cultivator, the descendant of Tiexian has four opportunities to choose to learn the cooking skills of Lord Tiexian. If you want to learn now, I will list twenty kinds of cooking skills of Lord Tiexian for you. You choose four of them, and then the reward will be issued. Do you want to learn now?" asked the spirit of the weapon.
"Forget it, it's useless to learn it now. When I think I need it, I will ask you for the reward. It only takes a moment to learn it anyway." Gu Zheng said.
"Okay." The spirit of the weapon smiled.
"The last reward."
Gu Zheng picked up the eighth reward and asked with a little curiosity: "Piaomiao Pill? What kind of pill is this?"
"The use of Piaomiao Pill is similar to the previous Purgatory Pill, but the Purgatory Pill bears fruit on the big tree of the Calming Technique, while the Piaomiao Pill bears fruit on the big tree of the 'Piaomiao Illusionary Body Technique'." The spirit of the weapon said slowly.
"Tell me quickly, what kind of fruit will it bear?"
Gu Zheng was interested and immediately urged him. It seemed that the immortal skill he had been using, the Piaomiao Illusionary Body Technique, was not simple either. It could actually produce results like the tranquilizing technique.
"It depends on the person. After you take the Piaomiao Pill, I don't know what kind of fruit will be produced on the big tree of the Piaomiao Illusionary Body Technique. But I can tell you that the characteristic of 'Piao' in the Piaomiao Illusionary Body Technique can only be regarded as the primary fruit on this tree."
After the spirit of the weapon finished speaking, Gu Zheng immediately took the Piaomiao Pill. While the medicinal effect turned into a hot stream that permeated his limbs and bones, he also had a kind of enlightenment in his heart.
"How is the fruit?"
"Not bad, compared with Piao, each has its own merits."
"Are you satisfied with the reward this time?" The spirit of the weapon smiled.
"Not satisfied, you haven't given me the reward for the prehistoric space yet!" Gu Zheng smiled.
"Don't worry, how can you be missing this? Too much was given at one time, isn't it because I'm afraid you can't stand the stimulation!" The spirit of the weapon also smiled.
"Congratulations to the successor of Tiexian, Tiexian Jue, for entering the fourth level. The rewards related to the prehistoric space will be distributed now."
"Reward: The time you can stay in the prehistoric space is increased to two hours."
"Reward: After entering the prehistoric space, the distance you can appear is expanded to any point within a radius of 30 meters centered on the entry point."
"Reward: Ten fairy piglets, ten fairy lambs, and ten fairy calves."
"Reward: Ten fairy ducklings."
"Reward: Twenty fairy vegetables, a total of two types."
"Reward: Twenty fairy wheats."
"Reward: One fairy locust tree."
"Reward: One small fairy melon."
"Reward: One fairy fruit tree."
"Reward, the number of ingredients that can be upgraded in the prehistoric space."
The spirit of the weapon mentioned many kinds of rewards again. Originally, Gu Zheng thought that he was satisfied with three or four rewards about the prehistoric space, but he didn't expect to get so many at once. He was so happy that he quickly checked the prehistoric space.
Since the expansion of the prehistoric space some time ago, the prehistoric space now looks much more spacious, and because of the addition of new rewards, it looks like a small farm.
However, the prehistoric space farm is ten thousand times stronger than ordinary farms. At least the animals and plants here do not need to be raised. They can grow by absorbing immortal essence, and they will automatically regenerate after being harvested.
In the original prehistoric space, there were already immortal apricot fruit trees, queen bee flowers, immortal vegetables, immortal rice, and immortal chickens on the land, and ocean flowers and immortal fish in the pond.
Now there are more things on the ground, and there are also more things in the water.
The time for the immortal piglets, immortal lambs, and immortal calves to be marketed is two months, three months, and four months, respectively. Although the time for marketed is a bit long, according to the spirit of the artifact, after these immortal animals grow up, their weight can be equivalent to twice that of normal livestock in the outside world, and the food grade is all medium!
Ten immortal ducklings make the originally monotonous surface of the pond look much more cheerful. The time for marketed is twenty days, and the food grade is medium!
There are two new immortal vegetables, and the maturity time is still the same as the original. The twenty green seedlings look very pleasing to grow, but their food grade is medium!
Twenty immortal wheats grow not far from the immortal rice. Their appearance will make Gu Zheng no longer so dependent on flour in the future. The food grade is also ordinary Tianmian.
The locust tree sounds ordinary, but the immortal locust tree is not ordinary at all.
The fairy locust tree awarded this time takes one year to grow and will produce locust flowers within one year. The locust flowers can be used by lightning bees to collect honey. The fairy locust flower honey is of medium quality. Even the withered fairy locust flowers are of medium quality. Moreover, after the fairy locust flowers wither, the fairy locust tree will bear fruit. The locust horns produced on it take one year to mature, but they are excellent quality ingredients!
According to the spirit of the instrument, although the small fairy melon is an ordinary fairy fruit, it has a large yield. Basically, fifteen fairy melons can be produced every time, and the weight of each fairy melon is about ten catties!
Fifteen fairy melons, each weighing ten catties, is one hundred and fifty catties! This is not an ordinary ingredient. This is one hundred and fifty catties of fairy melons that contain fairy essence and can be used to make fairy fruit food! Although the maturity time is also one year like the fairy apricot fruit, it has a greater actual effect than the fairy apricot fruit! After all, although the fairy apricot fruit is a medium-quality fairy fruit, the yield is too small, and only seven fruits are produced in a year. The size of the fruit is not much different from that of ordinary apricots, and the fairy essence contained in each one is equivalent to an ordinary-level fairy essence pill.
As for the reward fairy fruit tree, this is a very good fairy fruit tree. Although the fruit it produces is also a medium-quality fairy fruit, the fairy essence contained in one fairy fruit is equivalent to a medium-quality fairy essence pill. It takes one year to mature and can produce 100 fairy fruits each time.
Not counting this reward, Gu Zheng has received two rewards for upgrading the level of ingredients. Gu Zheng gave salt, water, eggs, sesame oil and ginseng for the two places to upgrade the level of ingredients. Now, the quota has not been used up, and the third reward is here again!
In addition to the remaining quota before, Gu Zheng now has a total of five quotas for upgrading the level of ingredients.
However, the quota for this reward is different from the previous two times!
The previous reward quota was only able to upgrade the level of ingredients to ordinary, but this time the reward quota can upgrade the level of ingredients to medium! Moreover, the things that were upgraded before will not occupy the existing five quotas when they are upgraded again!
In order to complete the task better at the beginning, Gu Zheng upgraded the quality of salt, water, eggs, sesame oil, and ginseng. Gu Zheng was actually helpless about these upgrades made in the early days.
After all, he later had a lot of ground springs for medium-quality water, and he also got a lot of ordinary-level salt in Shushan, and ordinary-level ginseng in Shuxu. As for ordinary-level eggs and sesame oil, although he did not get them from other channels, this level of ingredients was nothing in his eyes.
Originally, Gu Zheng still regretted that he used the precious quota on ingredients that were not scarce in the future! But now it seems that even those ingredients that have been upgraded before are not considered a waste of quotas. After all, salt, water, eggs, sesame oil, and ginseng, if upgraded from ordinary level to medium level, will not occupy the existing quota.
"What should I use these quotas for upgrading ingredients for?" Gu Zheng murmured.
"It's better to use them with caution as before."
The spirit of the weapon paused, and then said: "However, you can use one quota for the ingredients you transplanted."
There are many things that Gu Zheng is jealous of in Shuxu, and he wants to transplant many of them into the prehistoric space, but the spirit of the weapon is very strict about this! Either he said that the things Gu Zheng liked were too low-grade, or he was afraid of taking up space, saying that there would be better ingredients in the future, or he said that this kind of ingredient was not suitable for growing in the prehistoric space.
Just like the ordinary quality fairy fruit Xiaohangua encountered in Shuxu, the spirit of the weapon rejected Gu Zheng's request on the grounds that the prehistoric space did not accept fairy fruits of this quality.
However, there are indeed ingredients transplanted by Gu Zheng in the prehistoric space, and this kind of ingredient was transplanted by the spirit of the weapon.
As early as a year ago, when Gu Zheng was on a trip to Tianshan, he harvested four rare milk ginsengs. Although the food grade of milk ginseng is inferior, according to the spirit of the instrument, its growth potential is very good and it is worth cultivating.
Now more than a year has passed. If it weren't for the spirit of the instrument mentioning it now, Gu Zheng would have forgotten about the milk ginseng. After all, after the milk ginseng was transplanted back, it has been buried underground. No stems and leaves have grown on the ground, and there is not even a mark to remind people to remember it.
"By the way, spirit of the instrument, you just said that the growth potential of milk ginseng is great, but you didn't tell me what its use is. Now you should let me know, right?" Gu Zheng said dissatisfiedly.
"I didn't tell you at first because it would be useless to tell you. Now that I mentioned it, it's naturally time to tell you. You should dig up the ground first and see what changes there are!"
As soon as Gu Zheng thought about it, he immediately used the Earth Control Technique. Four milky-white ginseng branches were exposed in the cracks in the ground.
"You've grown so big?" Gu Zheng was surprised.
When the milk ginseng was first transplanted, they were no more than the thickness of a pigeon egg and no longer than half a chopstick, but after not seeing them for more than a year, they actually grew like thick white radishes!
"There are immortal essences in the prehistoric space. Milk ginseng will grow faster in places where there are immortal essences. This kind of food is very rare, and there are not many even in the ancient wilderness."
"It's a pity that in the era when your earth's immortal power was scarce, Chief Milk Ginseng was originally a medium-quality ingredient, but it was reduced to the level of second-rate ingredients. After being raised in the primitive space for so long, the ingredient level returned to ordinary. That’s all.”
"For the milk ginseng grown in the Age of Ending Law, the ingredient level can be changed to ordinary, which is considered to be the highest level. But if you want to use milk ginseng, its ingredient level must reach the medium level! This is why I have never told you before Your reason is, after all, at that time, you did not have the ability to turn it into a medium ingredient." Qi Ling said.
"Now that we have this ability, isn't it easy to improve its level? Tell me, what wonderful uses do they have?"
After receiving the reward for increasing the quota, a light point flew into Gu Zheng's mind, allowing him to know how to upgrade ordinary-level ingredients to mid-level.
Aiming the finger at the milk ginseng, under the operation of the Tie Xian Jue, a fairy power visible to the naked eye connects the milk ginseng and Gu Zheng's fingers like a bridge, and a dense light emerges from the milk ginseng.
"Ginseng is a reusable ingredient, which is one of the reasons why it was included in the prehistoric space. Using milk ginseng is not about cooking it, but like cutting a poppy, making holes on its surface to let the inside out. Pure white, medium-grade lotion.”
"This lotion has a faint milky aroma and tastes extremely sweet. If you have already owned the milk ginseng lotion when you went to Europe before, then the desserts you can make with it will satisfy those foreigners who like sweets. Crazy for it! When it comes to making sweets, milk ginseng emulsion is an excellent and versatile ingredient!
"Ha, it actually has such a wonderful effect? It is indeed a good thing!"
Gu Zheng smiled and then asked: "Getting its lotion is like cutting poppies, so will it be addictive for people to eat?"
"No! The milk ginseng lotion is both a food ingredient and a medicinal material. Not only is it non-addictive, it also has a good effect of nourishing yin and nourishing the skin. Eating it will make you feel refreshed!"
As he spoke, Gu Zheng had already upgraded the ingredient level of milk ginseng from ordinary to medium. The ginseng that originally looked like white radish has now become like a jade carving made of mutton fat.
"With four branches of milk ginseng, you can collect the lotion once a month. You should be able to collect about four taels each time. You can harvest it once now."
"good!"
No one would be unhappy about the harvest. The cheerful Gu Zheng immediately took out a small jade bottle and swiped his finger across the milk ginseng. Immediately, milky white lotion seeped out from it, and a sweet milk smell filled the air. The fragrance rises.
"I want to taste it first after I collect it."
Gu Zheng had never smelled such a delicious milky fragrance, which made him feel no disgust at all.
"Of course, you can also use the Wood Control Technique to speed up the collection of lotion."
"I know."
Gu Zheng smiled and immediately used the Wood Control Technique. The lotion on the milk ginseng that was originally slowly leaking out immediately started to flow.
Just as Qi Ling said, the four milk ginseng gave Gu Zheng four ounces of lotion.
Gu Zheng raised his head and slowly poured a ounce of lotion into his mouth.
It has a light milky aroma, a sweet and mellow taste, and a particularly smooth texture. As an immortal cultivator, Gu Zheng could clearly feel that the nutrients in the lotion were moisturizing his skin.
"How does it taste?" Qi Ling asked with a smile.
"It tastes great, and if it were a drink, it's the best drink I've ever had."
Gu Zheng smiled and then joked: "What, do you want to try it?"
"I can't taste it."
There was regret in Qi Ling's voice, but she quickly smiled again, and she laughed so hard that Gu Zheng had an extremely bad feeling! Usually when the weapon spirit has some bad ideas or wants to play tricks on Gu Zheng, she will make this kind of malicious laughter.
"Gu Zheng, after you killed the blood soul in the crypt of Shu Ruins, I told you that when you reach the fourth level of Tie Immortal Art, there will be a surprise. Do you still remember?"
Qi Ling's evil smile became louder, and there was indescribable pride in it.
"I don't remember!"
Of course Gu Zheng remembered that when Qi Ling said those words, he also laughed maliciously.
"Humph, it's useless if you don't remember!"
Qi Ling's voice was filled with annoyance: "I'm telling you, you have to have this surprise if you want it, and if you don't want it, you have to have it!"
"I don't want it!"
Gu Zheng blurted out. Anyway, he was a hundred resistant to this surprise that was accentuated by a bad smile.
"Humph, you can't help it!"
Qi Ling's voice paused, and Gu Zheng suddenly felt a pain in his head.
"Congratulations to the successor of Tiexian, when you enter the fourth level of Tiexian Jue, you will have the ability to see the spirit of this weapon."
Accompanied by the voice of the weapon spirit, a figure standing in the garden emerged in Gu Zheng's mind.
She looked about twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a bright red dress with embroidery. The overall style of the dress was very classical, but the cut was very close-fitting and modern, and the hem of the skirt was not even knee-length. Skin as white as snow, a small and cute nose, delicate lips, long black hair with two buns, big eyes with a little heroic spirit, and a pink three-petal lotus mark on the forehead.
Beautiful, impeccable, the surrounding flowers seemed to have lost their color compared to the weapon spirit.
"Are you surprised? Are you surprised?"
The weapon spirit stared at Gu Zheng's "sight", and its small mouth slightly turned up.
