Chapter 604: Solid as a Rock
The ghost monkey knelt down and worshiped Gu Zheng, and at the same time screamed strangely.
Gu Zheng looked into Gu Zheng's eyes, frowned slightly and said, "Are you negotiating terms with me?"
"Squeak!"
The ghost monkey still knelt down and screamed strangely.
"What do you think it's saying?"
Qi Ling thought it was funny, but she couldn't understand what the ghost monkey meant, but Gu Zheng opened his sixth consciousness, so maybe he really didn't get it wrong!
"I think it wants me to let it go after it cooperates!"
Gu Zheng did not tell Qi Ling privately, but said it directly.
"Squeak!"
Just like what Gu Zheng said, the ghost monkey knelt down and worshiped even more happily.
Gu Zheng's brows furrowed even more tightly. Immortal cultivators attach great importance to promises, so agreeing to the ghost monkey was undoubtedly giving it a promise.
If the ghost monkey were an ordinary spiritual beast, Gu Zheng would agree without hesitation, but it is an evil spirit! Not to mention that it carries the Spotted Virus, even if it eats the food it usually eats, it will probably be dead people, dead breath, dead souls and the like.
But if you don't agree to the ghost monkey, you have already tried it just now. Its resistance to spiritual thoughts will prevent Gu Zheng from doing what he wants to do. It is easy to kill it, but to do what you want to do, you must have its cooperation!
As for doing what you want to do after being knocked unconscious, this is also feasible for ordinary spiritual beasts, but this is the product of the Demon Refining Queen. It is a weird thing that can hurt the immortal cultivators in the late stage of returning to the void when combined with the old monster of death breath. Guys, if being stunned can work, Gu Zheng won't talk nonsense to it at all.
Faced with this little problem, Gu Zheng's eyes lit up and he remembered a person. This person was a monk. After he came out of the wilderness, he joined the Prajna Temple. During the battle on Blood Tide Island, he had presided over the 'Boundless Dharma' formation with Master Xinjing. However, because his strength was only in the middle stage of Void Return, he did not participate in the battle deep into the Blood Tide restricted area.
After a while, Gu Zheng's spiritual thoughts had arrived outside Prajna Temple.
"The ancient leader hurriedly came to see the poor monk, but did he encounter any problems?"
Before Gu Zheng could say anything, Xing Dian's spiritual message had already sounded.
Xing Dian's cultivation level is not too high, but he is considered a capable person in Gu Zheng's mind. He has opened his sixth consciousness, has the ability to foresee some things, and is also a very good person.
When they were on Blood Tide Island, Master Xinjing had specially introduced Xingdian to Gu Zheng. He also told Gu Zheng that Xingdian was very optimistic about Gu Zheng and had predicted what the outcome of the 'Blood Tide Island Incident' would be. The most important character is Gu Zheng.
"Master, I did encounter some problems."
Gu Zheng paused and then told the story about the ghost monkey.
"The ancient master came to me, poor monk, to hand over the ghost monkey to me, right?" Master Xingdian said.
"Exactly, Buddhism is compassionate and good at purification. If it is convenient for the master, I would like to hand over the ghost monkey to the master." Gu Zheng said.
"This object was born by refining demons, and it has the breath of death in its body. Although Buddhism is good at purification techniques, it may not be able to change its evil ways!"
Master Xingdian smiled bitterly, and then his voice turned serious: "However, Gu Zheng can work hard for the common people, so what does it mean to throw a difficult problem to a poor monk? Master Gu will send it without worry, and the poor monk will protect it from death!"
"Thank you, Master!"
Since Master Xingdian has already agreed to this matter, Gu Zheng did not stay any longer and his spiritual thoughts immediately returned to his true form.
"I can promise to spare your life, but don't ask for too much. Are you willing?"
Gu Zheng looked at the ghost monkey, and at the same time, in order to frighten it, he showed murderous intent in his eyes, as if he would kill it as long as it sang the opposite.
"Squeak!"
The ghost monkey cried out with sadness, and once again knelt down to Gu Zheng, it was considered to have agreed to the deal with Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng didn't say much. Even when he penetrated the ghost monkey's body with his spiritual thoughts, he didn't receive any resistance.
Gu Zheng couldn't help but exclaim when he really came into contact with the magical glands of the ghost monkey. The glandular fluid appeared more clearly 'digitized' in his eyes, and the characteristics of the ingredients he knew were the same in his eyes. The mind was rolling.
One formula after another is being composed, one after another is deduced, discarded or modified.
About half an hour later, Gu Zheng opened his eyes, which were originally closed.
"how?"
The weapon spirit who had been waiting for the answer immediately asked.
"Okay, very good! The prescription has been released. It meets my perfect requirements. It does not require many resources and the results are faster!"
Gu Zheng was really excited. After a pause, he looked at the ghost monkey and said, "You are in luck. I'm going to make something for you!"
"Squeak!"
Gu Zheng's words made the ghost monkey scream, as if he felt that what he said was not a good thing.
However, it didn't take long for the ghost monkey to stop thinking so. When Gu disputed the plate and came over, it was still far away and it was already jumping up and down unbearably.
Gu Zheng can cook delicious food, but the most normal thing that the ghost monkey eats is raw meat, and the food that Gu Zheng cooks for it will definitely make normal people spit it out, but for the ghost monkey, This is absolutely a delicacy.
"You're so disgusting! I don't know what Master Tie Xian would think if his disciples cooked such 'dark cuisine', huh..."
Before Qi Ling finished speaking, she covered her mouth and couldn't speak any more. Ever since Gu Zheng cooked this 'dark dish', she had had the same words and the same reaction countless times.
Gu Zheng shrugged his shoulders, looking innocent: "It's not a human. It's definitely not possible to stimulate the secretion of its glandular fluid with normal food. This is the only way. What can I do? I'm also desperate!"
Gu Zheng put the plate into the cage, and the ghost monkey immediately started to eat it. After finishing a plate, it was not enough and stretched out its hand to ask Gu Zheng for more.
"You can only eat this three times a day! I will take your glandular fluid later. You won't feel any pain, but you must cooperate honestly."
Gu Zheng didn't know if the ghost monkey could understand the words that were too profound. Anyway, when he finished speaking, the effect of the "dark cuisine" had already taken effect. The ghost monkey seemed to have heavy eyelids and soon fell asleep.
Gu Zheng once again probed the ghost monkey's body with his divine consciousness. He was very satisfied with the effect of the "dark cuisine". Under the stimulation of the drug, the ghost monkey's glandular fluid was becoming full.
After waiting for about an hour, Gu Zheng penetrated the ghost monkey's body with his immortal power and extracted its glandular fluid.
During the extraction of glandular fluid, the ghost monkey opened its sleepy eyes and forgot about Gu Zheng, but it did not feel any pain. Instead, it felt a sense of pressure relief and fell into a deep sleep again.
The ghost monkey was originally the size of an adult monkey, and the magical glands in its body, after being catalyzed by Gu Zheng's "dark cuisine", actually extracted a bowl of glandular fluid!
A bowl of glandular fluid may not sound like much, but it is a very powerful thing. According to Gu Zheng's speculation, mixing this bowl of glandular fluid into water and then cooking it into a diet therapy can save 5,000 people without a problem!
With the glandular fluid as the main ingredient, Gu Zheng immediately started cooking the new food.
The glandular fluid was taken from the ghost monkey, and the food cooked with it was also "dark cuisine". During this process, although the spirit of the instrument did not make a vomiting sound, it also closed its eyes throughout the process.
It took fifteen minutes before and after, plus the processing of the ingredients, and so on, the first diet therapy came out of the pot.
With the first diet therapy, Gu Zheng immediately went to the isolation hospital.
After finding a patient to take the food therapy, Gu Zheng probed into his body with his mind and observed the changes of the spotted flower virus.
The food therapy also melted in the mouth, and the mysterious green energy it turned into hovered in the patient's stomach.
A magical scene happened. Under the hovering of the green energy, the spotted flower virus in the patient's body seemed to be attracted, slowly moving towards the green energy, and was finally wrapped in it.
For most of the day, Gu Zheng could not detect a single spotted flower virus in the body of the first patient.
The green energy wrapped around the spotted flower virus gradually solidified and eventually turned into the shape of a pill, and this process was very similar to the spotted flower virus on the ghost monkey being wrapped in crystals.
"Hmm..."
After the crystal completely hardened, the patient immediately felt like vomiting, and the green ball was vomited out by him.
"There is no spotted flower virus in the patient's body now, but you have to handle this green ball properly in the future, because the spotted flower virus is not dead, it is wrapped in this ball. Okay, you can take the patient for various examinations now."
Beside Gu Zheng stood a group of experts and professors from the isolation hospital. As soon as Gu Zheng finished speaking, they immediately took the patient for examination.
There was no new experience as Gu Zheng said. In just half a day, a patient with the fifth stage of spotted flower disease was magically cured, which caused experts and professors to exclaim for this.
In fact, it is not accurate to say that it was cured. After all, the patient's body still had various scars left by the rampant spotted flower disease, but these were no longer Gu Zheng's business. Gu Zheng also believed that for these things, the authorities would eventually designate a hospital to carry out some follow-up treatment for these people.
The special diet therapy for spotted flower disease was born in the Celestial Empire, which can cure spotted flower within one day, and all patients with spotted flower disease are expected to use this new diet therapy.
All the major media outlets reported heavily about the new diet therapy. People all over the world cheered for it and also hoped that this new diet therapy would spread as soon as possible.
At the same time, people all over the world were also curious about who created such a magical diet therapy, but the person revealed from the Celestial Empire was only called "Mr. Gu".
Gu Zheng did not let anyone reveal his full name. He did not want his relatives and friends to be harassed endlessly. Sometimes it is not a bad thing to hide your merits and fame, especially when everyone is talking about the mysterious "Mr. Gu", but they don't know who "Mr. Gu" is.
After a full six months, the spotted flower virus that caused countless deaths and injuries worldwide finally disappeared. When the last spotted flower disease patient was discharged from the hospital, the media all over the world broadcast it live! And this historic day was named by the United Nations as Mr. Gu's Day.
At home in Shencheng, Gu Zheng watched the jubilant scene of the people on TV, holding a glass of fairy wine with a slight smile on his face.
Although the report only mentioned "Mr. Gu", his friends still called Gu Zheng about this matter and talked about this great person with the same surname as him.
As for Gu Zheng's father, when he talked to Gu Zheng on the phone, he excitedly said that their Gu family had produced a great person.
"Congratulations, the descendant of Tiexian, you have completed the test of the active task."
"Reward: a number of immortal grain seeds, two sets of immortal field formations."
The voice of the weapon spirit sounded in Gu Zheng's mind.
"Island Master Gu, I finally got what I wanted. What do you think now?" After distributing the rewards, the weapon spirit teased.
The spirit of the weapon called Gu Zheng the ancient island master, which was really correct. After all, there were four islands belonging to Gu Zheng, namely: Wufeng Island, Ziyan Island, Zhaoxia Island, and Bitao Island. The reason why Gu Zheng took the active task this time was to set up fairy fields on Zhaoxia Island and Bitao Island.
Gu Zheng put down his wine glass, and his expression was very emotional: "I really didn't expect that an active task would take so long! Now that the crisis of the spotted flower disease has been resolved, it's time to return to the sect."
"Yeah, I didn't expect it to take so long!"
The spirit of the weapon smiled slightly, and then said: "Although this active task took a long time, the reward you got was a little less, but the harvest of this task is already worth it!"
"Do you mean the huge amount of wish power? But now these wish powers have disappeared with the cure of the spotted flower disease."
Gu Zheng waved his hand, and the feeling of full wish power before was gone.
"It's all your fault. You can't bear to see the people of the world suffer, so you released the food therapy so early. If you can delay it for a while, I can collect more wishes." The spirit of the weapon covered his mouth and laughed.
"If you delay it for a day, many people will die! Although they are all ordinary people I have never met, I will have a knot in my heart if they die to complete my collection of wishes!" Gu Zheng smiled freely.
The spirit of the weapon nodded: "Even if the wishes are gone, you have already made a lot of money. The wishes I collected here are enough to brew three bottles of "Wish Fairy Dew" for you, which will be of great help to you when you reach the realm of Daluo Jinxian. In addition, the remaining wishes are enough for you to change the fairy fields of Wufeng Island and Ziyan Island back to the original ones."
The improved fairy fields need more wishes to support them. Now there are not so many wishes. If Gu Zheng wants to use them again in the future, he needs to change them again. This is also one of the things he has to do before returning to the sect.
"In addition!" The spirit of the weapon smiled and said, "Although the harvest of willpower is great, the harvest of another thing is more meaningful, but I don't know if it will last."
"What?" Gu Zheng asked curiously.
"Pure power of faith!" The spirit of the weapon said seriously.
"Power of faith? Or pure?" Gu Zheng widened his eyes.
"Yes, it is pure power of faith! You solved the crisis of spotted flowers this time. I can feel that pure power of faith has been generated for you, and the amount is not small! This may be that some people, or some ethnic groups have built temples for you and started to worship you!"
The words of the spirit of the weapon made Gu Zheng very excited: "Can you feel where the source is?"
"I can't feel it, because it's too far away. Its source is definitely not in the Celestial Empire, maybe in some relatively poor and backward places in the world. You know, people in such places are more likely to have devout beliefs!" The spirit of the weapon said.
"Okay! This is really an unexpected harvest."
Pure power of faith is more useful than willpower. If you can have such a harvest, the more the better.
After solving the crisis of spotted flowers, the ghost monkey did not suffer any losses. On the contrary, it gained a lot of weight under Gu Zheng's "dark cuisine".
Moreover, from the information fed back by Master Xingdian, Gu Zheng learned that the ghost monkey's mouth had been spoiled. After being with Master Xingdian, it did not eat anything for several days.
The contribution of the ghost monkey to this plague is also indispensable. Although it is an evil creature, Gu Zheng still asked Master Xingdian to treat it well.
After leaving the city, Gu Zheng first went to Wufeng Island and Ziyan Island, re-modified the fairy formation there, and then planted fairy grain.
Later, Gu Zheng went to Chaoxia Island and Bitao Island, respectively arranged the fairy field formation there, and planted fairy grain that made the islanders overjoyed.
Without staying overseas for a long time, Gu Zheng returned to the sect after planting the fairy grain.
In the past few months, Gu Zheng has been in the secular world, and the number of times he came back to the sect is less than twice.
After Gu Zheng returned to the sect, it was quiet for less than two days, and then something happened again.
What happened this time was not without signs, but it happened as time went by.
Long before Gu Zheng went out to fight the spotted virus, Jiao Jiao had sensed the appearance of a new tower body.
During this period of time, Jiao Jiao's sense of the new tower body has been increasing, until today, Jiao Jiao finally determined the location of the tower body.
"It's here?"
Jiao Jiao transmitted the sense to Gu Zheng, and Gu Zheng's eyes widened immediately.
Because the place where the new nine-story tower body will appear is not too far from Bitao Island.
Bitao Island was the one that Gu Zheng used the spirit of the instrument to detect. Its location is farthest from the inland among Gu Zheng's four islands.
Jiao Jiao transmitted the feeling to Gu Zheng, and Gu Zheng transmitted the feeling to the spirit of the instrument to hear her opinion.
"It's incredible!"
After experiencing the feeling, the spirit of the instrument said four words.
"Why is it incredible?" Gu Zheng asked.
"From the feeling, there is a huge immortal formation that is almost collapsed. Although this immortal formation is not the 'triple immortal formation' you have seen, it is the very famous 'solid as a rock' among immortal formations! If it is used to seal something, even the Golden Immortal cannot detect it. This is why I didn't discover it before."
Jiaojiao felt that the place where he was born was not far from the Peach Island. When the spirit of the weapon explored the Peach Island, it also explored the sea area where it was located, but found nothing. This alone was enough to show the extraordinary nature of this "impregnable fortress".
