Chapter 420 Shock

"Unexpected, what a surprise!"

Has Gu Zheng ever thought about what the weapon spirit looks like? Of course he had fantasies! After all, they had been together for so long, but what he didn't expect was that Qi Ling's appearance was almost the same as what he had imagined. He looked like a little pepper at first glance.

"Hmph, compared with me and Miao Miao, whose appearance is better?" Qi Ling asked.

"You're prettier than Meow Meow."

Gu Zheng was still immersed in the surprise and answered almost subconsciously. Miaomiao is also very beautiful, but her appearance is indeed a bit worse than Qi Ling, and the two girls who look to be about the same age, the biggest difference is their aura! Miaomiao gives people the feeling of Xiaojiabiyu, even a maid, while Qi Ling gives Gu Zheng the feeling that this guy is a difficult princess.

"That's pretty much it."

It seemed that he was quite satisfied with Gu Zheng's answer, and the expression on Qi Ling's face relaxed.

"It's just that you look like just a child, but you like to be other people's older sister so much."

After realizing that he had directly praised Qi Ling just now, still in terms of beauty, Gu Zheng, a little embarrassed, said something in a low voice.

"What did you say?"

Qi Ling's little face immediately became serious, and even his little fists were raised.

"I didn't say anything. You heard me wrong!"

Gu Zheng quickly changed the topic and ended his viewing of the weapon spirit. This kind of picture that appeared in his mind can naturally be seen if he wants to see it. If he doesn't want to see it, he can make it disappear with just a thought.

"Asshole, don't think I didn't hear what you just said. You still dare not to look at me. You're so disgusting!" Qi Ling's angry voice sounded.

"Okay, stop making trouble, I've been listening to your voice, and suddenly seeing your appearance makes me feel a little uncomfortable!"

Gu Zheng chuckled, and then said: "Let's talk about something serious!"

Gu Zheng actually knows that Qi Ling is not really angry. After all, she is different from before. Nowadays, small frictions such as bickering with Gu Zheng are mostly playful.

"Tell me what you want to say."

As expected, Qi Ling no longer dwelled on the previous topic, but his voice was still angry.

"Originally I thought that to become a true immortal cultivator, you would have to spend a lot more time cultivating than before, but now it seems that the prediction is not accurate enough. The time you need to spend on cultivating is actually a lot!" Gu Zheng said with emotion.

"Yes! In addition to breathing and meditation, you also need to spend more time on the cultivation of spiritual thoughts. Among the things that will be rewarded to you this time, there are still many things that you need to spend time to master! What's more, Now you are a real immortal cultivator, many Regarding immortal power, you also need to practice, such as how to arrange some simple restrictions. As for the magic of arranging restrictions, I think there are records in the ancient books you brought back from the Kongkong Sect. If you have time, You can also practice first.”

Qi Ling seemed to have forgotten the previous unpleasantness, and his voice returned to normal.

"Okay! I will stay in the sect this month to help repair the Chaos Tower. I will practice diligently when I have nothing to do. As for the Kirikaze Island that I originally planned to go to, I can only wait until the end of this month. "

"Then what are you going to do next? Your subordinates are probably still thinking about you!"

"Well, I'm also going to go out and talk to them. I'm just going to relax today, make some delicious dishes, and celebrate with them."

After Gu Zheng finished speaking, he left the Chaos Tower. As for Ouyang Hai and others, although they had a brief conversation with Gu Zheng in the back mountain, they were indeed more concerned about Gu Zheng's situation. After returning to the sect from the back mountain, they all came to the main hall at the same time, waiting for the appearance of Guzheng.

The appearance of Gu Zheng Enron made Ouyang Hai and others put aside their worries, and the Emei Hall was filled with laughter and joy.

Regarding the matter of Gu Zheng becoming an immortal cultivator, Ouyang Hai also asked Gu Zheng if he wanted to inform the cultivation world. After all, it was a big deal for the leader to become an immortal cultivator.

Gu Zheng did not plan to notify the cultivation world immediately, and even Shushan did not plan to say anything. Anyway, for him, he seemed to prefer this kind of incomprehensible feeling.

Moreover, there is another advantage to announcing it later.

Whether it was to Shushan or to Kunlun, Gu Zheng said that he had to wait until the level of an immortal cultivator before he could make the middle-to-high-grade Yuan-increasing food cultivation.

The greatest role of increasing the energy of food cultivation can only be exerted when the content of immortal energy in the air reaches the standard. Gu Zheng is planning to wait until that time before announcing the news that he has become an immortal cultivator. When the time comes, we will do mid-to-high-grade Yuan-increasing food repairs for Shushan and Kunlun. Only when the results are good will they be more willing to spend their resources.

The effect of Zeng Yuan Food Cultivation is best when it is taken when the fairy essence content in the air reaches the standard. Regarding this point, Gu Zheng had already asked the weapon spirit if Zeng Yuan Food Cultivation could be used. Take it in the primitive space. To this point, Qi Ling's answer is very clear, no! Because the immortal energy in the ancient space is not inexhaustible, the amount of immortal energy in the air is only enough for the normal consumption of the ancient space.

The excitement in the Shushan Hall continued for a while, and Gu Zheng asked everyone to go to the banquet living room to wait. Although it was not time to eat yet, there was no need to wait until then to celebrate. He was going to cook some delicious dishes. Treat yourself well and let Ouyang Hai and others enjoy themselves again.

"Actually, you can't wait to cook, but you still want to know what kind of food cultivation opened your mind, right?" Qi Ling's voice sounded.

"The name is Kaiqiao, and it is the first food cultivation reward that appears in the mission. Of course, I am very curious about what role it has." Gu Zheng said.

"Kai Qiao Food Cultivation is a creation created by Lord Tie Xian with great pains for his descendants. In terms of cooking skills, its effect is enough to be called 'unparalleled'." Qi Xing exclaimed.

"No way? So exaggerated?"

Qi Ling's previous lack of confidence had already led Gu Zheng to speculate that it might be very difficult to cultivate food cultivation! But I never expected that it would have such an evaluation in the harsh mouth of the weapon spirit.

"What did I lie to you for? Hurry up and cook, and you will find out what magical abilities Kaiqiao Food Cultivation has given you."

"Okay!" Gu Zheng responded.

After arriving in the kitchen, Gu Zheng couldn't wait to set up the pot and took out the eggs from the ancient space. He wanted to know the effect of Kaiqiao Food Repair as soon as possible, so he planned to cook the fastest dish, and cooking the omelette would undoubtedly take the shortest time.

Heat the pan, pour the oil, and beat the eggs. The movements of ancient Zheng are still flowing.

However, when Gu Zheng used the skills taught by Tie Xian to use the Fire Control Technique and Water Control Technique on the fried eggs, his head made a soft buzzing sound.

As if a door had been opened, Gu Zheng felt that the world in front of him was different, but this difference was limited to the fried eggs in the pot and some ingredients on the chopping board.

In Gu Zheng's eyes, whether it is the fried eggs in the pot, the shape of the chopping board, or even the sesame oil used to fry the eggs in the pot, they have become something that feels like a 'number' inside. Gu Zheng knows what follows what, multiplication should be used, what follows what and subtraction should be used, and when the 'numbers' are processed using 'formula', the best answer is obtained!

In addition, in his eyes, the bad trace substances in food that Gu Zheng could feel in the past are now in the form of light spots. They are special substances with good effects that were originally invisible. Trace substances appear as light spots of different colors! All the ingredients have become 'clear' and 'transparent' in his eyes. He can tell his understanding of them at a glance, which naturally includes the judgment of their ingredients' grade!

Gu Zheng's hands were moving, and he was solving problems according to the 'formula', but the expression on his face remained in a state of shock.

"How is it? Isn't it shocking?" Qi Ling's voice sounded.

"Yes, shocking, extremely shocking!"

Gu Zheng almost screamed, he was really out of his mind: "Kai Qiao Food Cultivation, I am worthy of your outrageous evaluation! These so-called 'formulas' and 'numbers' are clearly Tao! This is about food and medicinal materials , about the way of eating!”

"clever!"

Qi Ling exaggerated, and then said proudly: "Master Tie Xian worked hard to create the Kaiqiao Food Cultivation, just to let his descendants come into contact with the way of cooking!"

"Item Spirit, does Master Tiexian also have the ability to see the Tao?" Gu Zheng asked as if he thought of something.

Qi Ling replied: "Of course, if he doesn't have this ability, how can he use unnatural means to cook something similar to inheritance into a kind of food cultivation?"

"So Master Tiexian's cooking skill reward is the Tao that I see now? After all, the cooking skill of making omelette is exactly the same as the best way shown by Tao." Gu Zheng looked confused.

"I know what you are thinking. What you are thinking is that if Master Tiexian's cooking skills are the manifestation of the Tao that you see, then it makes no difference whether you learn Master Tiexian's cooking skills or not. , because you can also see the Tao. In this regard, I can only say that you misunderstood, everything is not that simple!"

Qi Ling's smiling voice paused and then became serious: "Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, three gives birth to all things! The Tao you see now is considered one for the time being, and the cooking skills of Lord Tiexian, It’s already been counted as two, it’s already been counted as three, do you understand?”

Gu Zheng frowned and spoke after a moment: "I understand what you mean. You mean that the Tao I saw is only the original Tao of ingredients. Once you touch this Tao, your understanding and cooking of ingredients will make a leap forward. A breakthrough. However, this Tao is still the initial Tao, and there is no subsequent evolution, and Lord Tie Xian’s Tao has already broken away from my current level?”

Gu Zheng was deeply touched. Even though he had organized his words before speaking, he still felt that there were some things that he understood in his heart, but he didn't say them well.

"That's what it means! And the reason why you have the previous thought is actually that in what you see, the combination of the omelette and the ingredients you have on hand can produce the best results. The best effect is consistent with what Master Tie Xian taught, so you have questions!"

"Yes, that's it!"

"Everything is different. You should understand this. Just like an egg, its weight, quality, bad trace substances and good trace substances. If these aspects are refined, the gap will be It will become very obvious.”

"However, when all methods return to their origin, no matter how obvious the differences are, they are still eggs! When your realm is no longer 'Tao Sheng Yi', you will have a deeper understanding of their essence, and this This kind of understanding will allow you to find a path that will never leave you! And this path is the omelette cooking skill taught to you by Master Tiexian!"

"The omelette you made this time just happened to allow you to see the same 'formula' as Master Tiexian's cooking skills when you were still in the realm of 'Dao Shengyi'. But as I said before, if each egg is fine, They are all different. Your omelette is also cooked. Make the second omelette immediately after taking it out of the pan. See if what you see again is the same as this omelette! "

Gu Zheng took the omelette out of the pan and immediately started to fry the second egg. As Qi Ling said, the 'formula' he saw this time was slightly different from Tiexian's cooking skills.

"Do you see the difference? Where is the difference?" Qi Ling asked again.

"I can see the difference. It's not big. It's in the control of the heat and the cooking time." Gu Zheng said.

"Okay, follow what you see, then cook and taste two fried eggs to see if there is any difference."

The second omelette came out of the pan, and Gu Zheng followed the Qi Ling's request and tasted the two omelette carefully.

"Since both have Tao inside, and it is only reflected in a simple fried egg, the difference will not be too obvious. But your Tie Xian Jue is now at the fourth level, and your taste buds have become more sophisticated because of it. Be keen, you can still taste the difference!”

Regarding Qi Ling's judgment, Gu Zheng nodded after tasting the omelette. Indeed, as Qi Ling said, he tasted a slight difference. At this point, the omelette made according to Tiexian's cooking skills tasted better. Better.

"This is only reflected in pure cooking food. If it is reflected in food cultivation, a little difference may widen the gap in the efficacy of the medicine. Moreover, you can also take a look, in the food that can be extremely fragrant. What's the difference between Master Tiexian's cooking skills and what you see when it comes to chicken blood soup, and this gap should be even more obvious!"

The last time he returned to the sect from the city, Gu Zheng specially brought back some centuries-old chicken blood soup, and simmered it every day according to a specific ratio, adding ingredients and water.

The reason why Gu Zheng did this was because Wuyou, Elder Wuyou and others wanted to eat the delicacies he cooked often, but they couldn't as a way to make up for it.

Although the taste of this pot of chicken blood soup in Emei cannot be compared with the centuries-old soup, with Gu Zheng's careful preparation, it is not very different.

He did whatever he thought of, and Gu Zheng quickly made a bowl of chicken blood soup.

Without tasting it, Gu Zheng already knew that Qi Ling was right. According to what he saw, although the chicken blood soup tasted delicious, it didn't even have the original chicken blood soup's signature extremely fragrant shape. Appear! Although there are some elements of Lao Tang in it, Gu Zheng understands that the biggest difference lies in the cooking skills.

"You have also changed your cooking skills before and made food that can transform into extremely fragrant food, but that was just a kind of luck based on your understanding of the ingredients and Master Tiexian's methods."

This time after Qi Ling finished speaking, Gu Zheng didn't say a word or do anything for a long time. He just opened his eyes and seemed to be thinking about something.

"What? You feel frustrated or angry?" Qi Ling said deliberately.

"Of course not."

Gu Zheng shook his head, and the smile appeared on his face again: "I touched the 'Dao Sheng Yi', and really felt the higher level of Tao. It's too late for me to be happy, how can I be angry? As for frustration I don’t have any sense of it, I am just a disciple who has not yet become a master!”

"It's good that you have such a mentality, keep it up!"

Qi Ling's voice paused, and then he continued: "Actually, I have said so much to you, and many of them were told by Master Tiexian to convey to you. How can I have such a deep understanding of Tao?" Qi Ling said. Ling smiled.

"Okay, I'll cook first. I will be more attentive to cooking in the future." Gu Zheng said seriously.

At the banquet celebrating Gu Zheng's promotion to become an immortal cultivator, the atmosphere was naturally unprecedentedly jubilant.

None of the dishes Gu Zheng cooked today came from Tie Xian’s cooking skills. Some of them were not the first time Ouyang Hai and others had eaten them, and their reactions to these dishes were all full of praise! After all, today is different from the past. Gu Zheng has come into contact with the Tao of food. Compared with the taste of these dishes before, even people who are not professionals can still taste the difference.

Twenty days later.

During this period of time, Gu Zheng spent almost every day in the Chaos Tower. In addition to helping Jiaojiao repair the Chaos Tower, he also worked hard to practice the newly mastered things.

During these twenty days, Gu Zheng used the medium-level Immortal Essence Pill on hand, plus some other elixirs and ingredients, to make two intermediate-level Danyuan Food Cultivation.

It has to be said that after being exposed to the Tao of Food, Gu Zheng became much more comfortable with cooking or making food than before, and the resulting food and food practices were naturally also Better than before.

As expected by Qi Ling, after taking the middle-grade Danyuan Food twice, Gu Zheng's cultivation reached 20% of the fourth level of Tiexian Jue, which is equivalent to the middle stage of Qi Transformation.

In addition to making two food repairs for himself, Gu Zheng also made several food repairs for the higher-ups and elites in the sect during this period. Anyway, nowadays, the reserve of ingredients is not small. While improving his cultivation, he will naturally not forget the important members of the sect.

"Ugh!"

Gu Zheng originally closed his eyes, frowned and groaned, but his mind in 'purgatory' was hit by another fireball, and he had to stop exercising.

"It's pretty good. In the past seven days, you have managed to survive until the end of time once, and the time you can stay in 'Purgatory' has also been increased by one second compared to the initial time." Qi Ling said with a smile.

"It's not worth mentioning, just one second!" Gu Zheng smiled bitterly.

"One second is not a small amount, a little bit adds up!"

The spirit of the weapon paused, and then said: "By the way, I remember you said yesterday that you would make immortal fruit food today?"

"Yes, I'm going to do it now! Originally, Jiao Jiao expected that the Chaos Tower would need my help to repair it, which would take a month. Now it seems that I won't be needed the day after tomorrow. I plan to make immortal fruit food today and go to Wufeng Island tomorrow." Gu Zheng said.

The immortal fruit that Gu Zheng has stored can make three portions of immortal fruit food, but Gu Zheng just wants to separate a little bit of it and make a portion of immortal fruit food according to the lowest standard to taste how it tastes.

When in Shuxu, Gu Zheng not only harvested ordinary-level fairy fruit Xiaohangua, but also ordinary-level fairy fruit Yulongyan, ordinary-level fairy fruit Jinguanglizhi, medium-level fairy fruit Wuzhijiao, and medium-level fairy fruit Xianteng papaya. Although these fruits were slightly consumed in the later Shuxu, the total amount was still nearly 130!

In addition, Gu Zheng also had five medium-quality fairy apricot fruits, as well as some fruits obtained from the Kongkongmen treasure.
