Chapter 564: Breaking the Rules

Since Gu Zheng is not on Wufeng Island, Jixiang Xiaozhu will naturally not be able to open. All the guests who came to Wufeng Island in the past two days were blocked from the island-protecting fairy formation.

Gu Zheng took Miaomiao to fly near Wufeng Island and saw an acquaintance.

"Fellow Daoist Chen!"

Guzheng's spiritual thoughts transmitted the message, and the person flying in the air was Chen Yue.

"Master Gu, you are back!" Chen Yue said with a smile.

"Yes! I have something to do. I was delayed for two days. Let's go and buy you a drink!" Gu Zheng also smiled.

Last time at Jixiang Xiaozhu, the Bai Xinghui incident was thanks to Chen Yue's provision of ingredients. Otherwise, things would have been a bit troublesome. Afterwards, Gu Zheng originally planned to invite Chen Yue to dinner, but Chen Yue had something important to do. So I couldn't get it.

"Come on, I'm really thinking about your cooking."

Chen Yue didn't hesitate and flew side by side with Gu Zheng and Miaomiao.

"Have you finished your work with fellow Daoist Chen?" Gu Zheng asked.

"I'm done, Master Gu. If you haven't opened the store these two days, where have you been?" Chen Yue also asked.

"The Demon Sect sent people to sneak attack on me in Emei, I will go find them to settle the score."

Gu Zheng's voice paused, and then he said: "Fellow Daoist Chen doesn't have a sect yet. Do you want to join me, Emei, and become a Supreme Elder?"

"The Supreme Elder? Isn't that senior than the ancient leader?" Chen Yue laughed.

"We in Emei are different from other sects. Supreme Elder is just an honorific title." Gu Zheng said with a smile.

"Let's talk about it! I haven't considered joining a sect yet. If you want to join a sect, I will definitely consider the ancient leader of Emei." Chen Yue said.

"good!"

Regarding Chen Yue's polite refusal, Gu Zheng didn't say much. In his opinion, Chen Yue is a trustworthy person, but everyone has their own ambitions, and some things cannot be done without force.

After returning to Wufeng Island, Gu Zheng first asked Yang Zhenling with his spiritual mind if anything had happened in the past two days, and then went to see Lian Yuxin who was busy refining weapons. This time he returned to Jixiang Xiaozhu. I cooked a few dishes and had a drink with Chen Yue.

Chen Yue didn't stay long and left after eating. He came to Wufeng Island this time not because he was thinking about Gu Zheng's invitation to dinner, but because he really missed Gu Zheng's cooking.

Chen Yue gave out the reward before ordering. Gu Zheng didn't want to take it, but Chen Yue insisted on giving it and said he must take it this time. As for next time, Gu Zheng should count it as his reward.

Gu Zheng understood that the reason why Chen Yue did this was because he did not want to eat his free meals after he declined to join Emei, so he accepted the reward.

After Chen Yue left, Gu Zheng went to Lian Yuxin's weapon refining room.

The refining room was built not too far away from Jixiang Xiaozhu. When Gu Zheng passed, Lian Yuxin was busy.

In the past, there were no second-level weapon refining masters in the world of cultivation. Even if some people wanted high-level immortal weapons, no one could refine them. It is different now. There is a second-grade weapon refiner like Lian Yuxin in the cultivation world. It is difficult for her to manage her business well. What's more, the environment was relatively stable in the past, and whether there were immortal weapons or not was not as important as it is now.

But in today's troubled times, many sects are no longer ambiguous about purchasing fairy weapons. After all, in the realm of cultivators, even a low-level fairy weapon can play a big role.

Gu Zheng came to Lian Yuxin to help her. When he just returned to Wufeng Island to see Lian Yuxin, Lian Yuxin told him that after Chen Yue left, he would come over to help her practice. Make an artifact.

At that time, Gu Zheng couldn't bear to leave Chen Yue in Jixiang Xiaozhu for too long, so he didn't ask for any details of help.

Seeing Gu Zheng coming over, Lian Yuxin temporarily stopped what she was doing.

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

"Help me repair an intermediate immortal weapon."

As Lian Yuxin spoke, she took out a flying sword that looked like brass.

"This is an immortal weapon commissioned by the Taishan Sect for repair. The primary repair of this immortal weapon has been completed, but if you want it to regain its original power, final repairs are still needed."

Lian Yuxin's hand pointed at the Feijian's blade, where there was a row of vague patterns.

"This is not an ordinary decoration, this is the inscription of earth magic. It is precisely because of the existence of these inscriptions that the grade of this flying sword can be regarded as intermediate. But now, these inscriptions have been damaged. If you want to repair them, it is easiest to The method is to find a cultivator who has the 'natural soil' in his body, and use the power of the soil to re-engrave the inscription at the right time."

Lian Yuxin has not practiced earth magic, so naturally there is no 'true earth' in her body.

"That's okay, but I don't know how to engrave the inscription." Gu Zheng said.

"I'll teach you!"

Lian Yuxin was unambiguous. She pressed her index finger between her eyebrows, and a light spot suddenly appeared on her fingertips. She wanted to teach Gu Zheng Shen Nian.

"You taught me, and I will be able to engrave this kind of earth-based inscriptions in the future. Aren't you afraid that I will steal your business?" Gu Zheng joked.

"Don't be afraid! If you steal my business, then I will be free. I might as well just follow you and rely on you to make a living." Lian Yuxin gave Gu Zheng an angry look and said charmingly.

"Ha ha……"

Gu Zheng smiled, but he didn't dare to joke with this hot young woman anymore. With a gentle wave of his hand, the light point of spiritual thought flew into the center of his eyebrows, and an inscription engraved in his mind suddenly appeared. method.

After transmitting the power with his spiritual thoughts, Lian Yuxin began to use the power of the 'true fire of life' to activate the flames in the casting furnace.

When the temperature of the flame in the furnace was right, Lian Yuxin threw the flying sword into it.

I saw that the flying sword that entered the furnace was suspended in the flames, with Lian Yuxin's immortal power on it, including the part that could no longer be calcined. Under such protection, the only part of the sword that can be burned by the flames is the place where the inscription is engraved.

At the same time, Lian Yuxin also threw a piece of repair material that was made of the same material as the flying sword into the flames and burned it.

About five minutes later, the area with the inscription on the flying sword turned red, and the original repair material had turned into a large drop of molten liquid.

Lian Yuxin used her magical power to control the solution and place it on the red-hot inscription. The solution immediately smoothed away the traces left by the inscription, so that no trace of the inscription could be seen on the entire sword.

"That's it now." Lian Yuxin said.

Gu Zheng nodded, his body's 'true earth' vibrated, and a tiny trace of earth power flew out from the tip of his index finger, entered the stove and stopped on the sword body.

Gu Zheng's hand moved back and forth as if writing, and with the power of earth shaking, a row of inscriptions like a heavenly book appeared on the fiery red sword body.

"alright!"

Gu Zheng absorbed the power of earth, and in only thirty seconds, he had helped Lian Yuxin complete the inscription.

"That's right, I can do the rest." Lian Yu thought to himself.

"If there is nothing else, I won't disturb you for refining the weapon. I will go back to Jixiang Xiaozhu first." Gu Zheng said.

"Master, please wait for me. Anyway, there is no one in the shop right now. The subsequent repair of this magical weapon will only take ten minutes at most. After finishing this, I will pay dividends to the master!" Yu Xin said.

"good!"

Gu Zheng smiled. He had forgotten about the dividends even if Lian Yuxin didn't mention it. After all, he already regarded Lian Yuxin as one of his own. How many business deals she took and how much was the remuneration for each business deal were never asked in these ancient disputes. According to the agreement made by Lian Yuxin before joining the company, every time she accepted a business, she would have to hand over one-third of her remuneration to the sect.

Ten minutes later, Lian Yuxin completed the repair of the intermediate immortal weapon.

"During the time when Jixiang Xiaozhu was opened, I completed a total of eighteen pieces of business. What each piece of business involved, who did it with, and how much the reward was, I have all recorded it here. The boss Check it out!"

Lian Yuxin took out her account book and handed it to Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng took it with a smile and flipped through it symbolically: "Business is good!"

"It's not bad! Compared to prehistoric times, this business is still a lot worse, but this is the earth after all. We have done eighteen pieces of business during this period, which is quite a lot."

Lian Yuxin paused, then took out a small box: "According to our previous agreement, I need to hand over one-third of the reward to the sect. I also know that ordinary resources are of no use to the leader, so When discussing remuneration with customers, I will also deliberately collect some ingredients. All the ingredients in the box are not of low quality. Please take a look at them."

Gu Zheng opened the box given by Lian Yuxin, and his eyes lit up. The ingredients in the box were indeed of high quality. The worst ones were medium-level ingredients, and there were even three excellent-level ingredients.

"Well done, keep up the good work!"

Accepting the box with satisfaction, Gu Zheng did not forget to encourage Lian Yuxin.

"Hey, since you've done well, is there any reward from the head?"

Lian Yuxin winked at Gu Zheng and licked her lips with her tongue, which could easily make people think wrongly.

"Of course. Let's have a dinner together tonight and let you have a good meal!" Gu Zheng said with a smile.

"Great, I haven't eaten the delicacies made by the master for two days!" Lian Yuxin cheered.

The so-called dinner party means that the employees of Jixiang Xiaozhu have a meal together.

The employees of Jixiang Xiaozhu used to be Yang's sister and Lian Yuxin, but now there is another Miaomiao. Including Gu Zheng, there are only four people in total. Gu Zheng cooked sixteen dishes, which was quite sumptuous.

There was naturally a lot of laughter and laughter during the dinner. The Yang family girls and Miaomiao had known each other for a long time. Gu Zheng introduced Miaomiao to Lian Yuxin emphatically.

Originally, Gu Zheng was a little worried. Lian Yuxin's personality was not very good, and Miaomiao's personality was not very good either. Both of them were pretty. If they didn't like each other, it would be a headache.

Fortunately, Miaomiao and Lian Yuxin hit it off immediately, and they soon started calling each other elder sister and younger sister, which saved Gu Zheng a lot of worry.

Early the next morning, guests arrived outside Wufeng Island. The disciples guarding the island's immortal formation said that these two guests had already been here the day before yesterday.

There are two guests outside Kirifeng Island, a man and a woman. The man is handsome and handsome, and the woman is as beautiful as a flower.

Gu Zheng went to greet them in person. This does not mean that they are noble, but that the weapon spirit has not yet recovered and cannot help Gu Zheng find out whether the guests are qualified, so Gu Zheng went there in person. If they were not qualified, naturally There is no need for them to board Kirifaze Island.

Gu Zheng didn't feel any disqualification from the two guests, so he took them to Jixiang Xiaozhu.

After arriving at Jixiang Xiaozhu, the two guests first ordered four dishes and one soup. After eating, they ordered a top-quality Zengyuan Shixiu.

There were two orders as soon as they were opened, and one of them was the highly profitable high-grade Zengyuan Food Repair, which put Gu Zheng in a good mood when he woke up early in the morning.

Moreover, the business today was pretty good. The people who came to eat were not only the man and the woman, but also two other people. So after Gu Zheng made the top-grade Yuan-enhancing food for the man and the woman, he was still busy in the kitchen. With.

"Gu Zheng, there is something strange about the male and female guests. The high-grade Yuan-increasing food repair they are going to take away can still be taken by anyone!"

The voice of the spirit of the instrument sounded in Gu Zheng's mind.

After hearing the words of the spirit of the instrument, Gu Zheng, who was humming a tune while cooking, frowned instantly.

In order to prevent someone from taking the food repair out of Jixiang Xiaozhu and giving it to the people on the blacklist of Jixiang Xiaozhu, every food repair that needs to be taken out must be dripped with his own blood by the person who ordered it, so that the food repair becomes a special food repair before it can be taken out of Jixiang Xiaozhu.

Since the opening of Jixiang Xiaozhu, there have been a total of four food repairs that have been taken out. Two of them were inspected by Gu Zheng himself during the packaging process, and the other two were inspected by Lian Yuxin during the period when business was good and Gu Zheng was unable to get away. So far, there have been no problems with the food repairs taken out.

At this moment, the man and woman have walked out of the private room, which means that Lian Yuxin has inspected the packaging process and found no problems.

"Lian Yuxin, is the packaging process qualified?" Gu Zheng said in a voice transmission.

"Qualified, I saw that man dripping his own blood into the Yuan Zeng Food Cultivation." Lian Yuxin said.

"What's going on? I asked Lian Yuxin, and she didn't find anything unusual!" Gu Zheng looked at the spirit of the weapon.

"Lian Yuxin didn't lie. After she checked the food cultivation, the woman talked to her, and the man took advantage of the time when he put the food cultivation into the storage belt, and I don't know what he did, so that the original exclusive food cultivation became non-exclusive. I just happened to detect it at that moment." The spirit of the weapon said.

"Have you recovered from the damage you suffered before?" Gu Zheng asked.

"It's not as difficult to detect food cultivation as it is to detect a person. Although the damage I suffered before has not recovered, I didn't make a mistake in this matter." The spirit of the weapon affirmed.

Gu Zheng nodded, and then sent a telepathic message: "Lian Yuxin, leave the two guests here and wait for me for two minutes."

"Okay."

Lian Yuxin sent a telepathic message without asking Gu Zheng why.

Two minutes later, Gu Zheng finished the dishes on hand and handed them to the girl from the Yang family, and then went to the private room where the man and woman were.

The man and woman, who were originally gentle and elegant, looked quite angry at this time. Before Gu Zheng could speak, the man spoke first.

"I don't know what Boss Gu meant by leaving us two here for no reason? We ordered food repairs from you, but we need them urgently and can't delay for a minute!" The man said angrily.

Gu Zheng did not answer the man's question directly, but said solemnly: "You should know the rules of Jixiang Xiaozhu, right?"

The man frowned and said: "Aren't the rules of Jixiang Xiaozhu written on the menu? It seems that Master Gu thinks that I have broken the rules of Jixiang Xiaozhu?"

"Boss Gu, please explain clearly, what rules of your Jixiang Xiaozhu have we broken?" The woman on the side raised her eyebrows.

"Whether the rules are broken or not, please take out the food repair and wait for me to verify it again." Gu Zheng said.

"What's the reason? We use resources to buy a food repair, and the food repair we bought belongs to us. How can you verify it again and again? You..."

The man stretched out his hand and stopped the woman from saying: "This is our first time to eat at Jixiang Xiaozhu, and this is also a very bad experience! Although the food repair is made by you, we also paid a price to buy it. You can verify it again, but you have to have an explanation, right?"

"Okay! What explanation do you want?" Gu Zheng smiled.

"If we didn't break the rules, first I need Master Gu to apologize in public for your impolite behavior as spiritual compensation! Secondly, I need Master Gu to return the price I paid for this food repair as material compensation!" The man said seriously.

"If it is verified that you broke the rules, what do you say?"

Lian Yuxin spoke, she didn't believe that Gu Zheng would make trouble out of nothing, so she looked very angry when she saw the attitude of this man and woman.

"It is clearly written on the menu. If we break the rules, we will be on the blacklist of Jixiang Xiaozhu, and Jixiang Xiaozhu will not do our business in the future. What else can I say?" The woman raised her mouth and said with a little sarcasm.

"If you admit that you broke the rules, then you can indeed do what is said on the menu, but if you don't admit it and have to wait until you are caught, then you can't just do what is said on the menu." Gu Zheng frowned.

"Yes, how can this be?"

"I don't believe that Boss Gu would do such a thing to deliberately cause trouble for customers when he opens the door to do business."

The two people who originally came to eat were also alarmed by the dispute. They stood at the door of the private room and expressed their opinions.

The man shrugged and smiled at the two people at the door of the private room, and then turned to look at Gu Zheng: "Then Boss Gu, what do you think we should do?"

"If you don't break the rules, then do as you say, but if you break the rules, you two will not only be on the blacklist of Jixiang Xiaozhu, but also apologize to Jixiang Xiaozhu in public! In addition, I don't want too much compensation in terms of resources. A resource of a high-grade Zengyuan Food Cultivator as a punishment is barely enough." Gu Zheng said coldly.

"Hehe."

The man shrugged and smiled again: "Okay! But the so-called inspection can't be that you say I broke the rules, and I broke the rules. There must be a convincing statement, right? Do you think this is the truth?" The man looked at the two diners at the door of the private room.

To be fair, the two diners didn’t quite believe that Gu Zheng would make trouble for no reason, but what the man said made sense, so they didn’t dare to say anything.
