Chapter 657 What Do You Want to Ask?

The little fox didn't know how to fly in the air. After Gu Zheng held her and flew for a while, she yelled to stop and let Gu Zheng come down.

"What's going on?"

After reaching the ground, the little fox suddenly broke down in cold sweat.

"Shangxian, I didn't lie to you. I did protect the North Reed Immortal Ginseng here with a ban, but now it's gone!"

The little fox was so anxious that he wanted to cry. He pointed his finger at the crack in the stone to show Gu Zheng. There was indeed a small pit there. It seemed that something that originally grew there had been pulled out.

Gu Zheng inserted his fingers into the pit, closed his eyes and activated the soil control technique.

In just a split second, Gu Zheng had already gotten the information he wanted from the soil. It was true that Beibi ginseng once grew here, and it had only been picked for more than an hour, and at that time Gu Zheng was still Didn't meet the little fox.

"Shangxian, I really didn't lie to you. If you don't believe me, you are searching for my soul!"

Seeing Gu Zheng looking over expressionlessly, the little fox was frightened and cried.

"It can't be true. If you didn't lie to me, you don't have to do this. If you want to know something, you don't necessarily have to search for your soul."

Gu Zheng walked towards the back of the little fox, where there was a locust tree as thick as a person.

The Sophora japonica tree grows very slowly. A century-old Sophora japonica tree is only as thick as the mouth of a bowl. It is as thick as a human being. It must have been thousands of years old.

A tree that is thousands of years old has more or less spirituality, and a tree with spirituality can learn some things from it using the ancient advanced wood control techniques.

Gu Zheng pressed his hand on the locust tree, and as the 'natal tree' in his body was shaking, a blurry picture slowly appeared in front of his eyes, and after scrolling quickly, it finally stopped at the point where Gu Zheng wanted to see that time period.

"It's him!"

Although the picture Gu Zheng saw through the locust tree was blurry, Gu Zheng still recognized the person who picked the Beili Xiangshen. He turned out to be the old man with a beard who had a problem with him in Qingfeng Temple.

"Old bastard, Qingfeng Guanzhong saved your life, I just ran away after reaping the benefits, and you even took away my Beili Xian Ginseng. You really deserve to die!" Gu Zheng thought to himself.

"Little fox, I already know who picked the northern reed ginseng, and I'm going to chase him now."

Gu Zheng's voice paused, and then he said: "Are you willing to continue practicing in this mountain forest, or do you want to change to a safer environment?"

The little fox's eyes lit up: "Shangxian, do you want me to follow you?"

If the little fox was afraid that Gu Zheng would have any bad thoughts at first, she is no longer afraid. She feels that Gu Zheng is very kind and treats her very well. If she is taken in by such an immortal cultivator, she will definitely be more cautious. It's much better to stay in the mountains and forests.

"no."

Gu Zheng shook his head: "Have you ever heard of Shushan?"

"I've heard that it's one of the most powerful sects in history!" said the little fox.

"If you are willing to go to Shushan Sect to practice, I will give you a token. You only have to take it to Shushan Sect and find Master Ziyun, the leader of Shushan Sect, and he will give you a good arrangement so that you can never go back to Shushan Sect again. No need to be frightened."

Immortal cultivators pay attention to fate, and acquaintance is fate, and the little fox looks like a meow, which makes Gu Zheng want to give her a chance.

"I want to follow the Immortal!"

Looking at the little fox's courageous eyes, Gu Zheng shook his head: "Let's go to Shushan!"

Seeing Gu Zheng's determined gaze, the little fox nodded somewhat disappointedly.

Gu Zheng took out a jade slip, put it on his forehead, and used his spiritual thoughts to leave his image and voice in it, telling Master Ziyun that this little fox had some fate with him.

"If you are stopped by Shushan disciples, just say that Gu Zheng asked you to come to the master."

Gu Zheng handed the jade slip to the little fox, and then took out a bottle of medium-level immortal essence pills and a low-level fairy weapon suitable for demon cultivators: "These are also given to you, take care of yourself."

Before the little fox could say anything else, Gu Zheng had already disappeared.

The bearded old man's Qi had been locked in by Gu Zheng as early as Qingfengguan. Now Gu Zheng only knew the direction in which he left, so he could only try his luck to find it.

"How about forget it! Even if we find him, Bei Lu Xian Ginseng is already unqualified." Qi Ling said.

The Holy Fruit Food Cultivator has very strict requirements for ingredients. This Beibixian ginseng tree, which was picked before it fully grown, can no longer be used in the cooking of the Holy Fruit Food Cultivator.

"The search for Bei Lian Ginseng has been full of twists and turns. This time we were really close to Bei Lu Xian Ginseng. Unfortunately, we were harmed by this damn old guy. If we just let it go so easily, it would be too easy for him. After all, this is a new grudge and an old grudge!" Gu Zheng said.

"The image you saw was more than an hour ago. Who knows where he has flown to now." Qi Ling said again.

"Let's have a look, there's nothing wrong anyway." Gu Zheng's voice was stubborn.

In fact, Gu Zheng didn't have much hope in finding the old man with a long beard. After all, what Qi Ling said was reasonable, but if he gave up without even looking for him, he really couldn't swallow it in his heart.

The reality is often like this. When you look for something with high hopes, the result is often disappointment. But when you don't have any hope, it will make it easy for you to find it.

Gu Zheng did find the old man with a long beard. He did not leave the mountains. Instead, he opened a temporary cave in the mountains and was making elixirs inside.

When Gu Zheng broke through the cave entrance and entered the cave, the old man with a beard looked very shocked: "You, what are you going to do?"

When looking at Gu Zheng, the bearded old man no longer had the arrogance he had when he was at Baiyun Temple. After all, he did not die in the claws of the corpse cultivator and was all saved by Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng was able to come back safely after chasing the corpse cultivator. These are also All are symbols of strength.

Gu Zheng's eyes narrowed, and he saw the Beili Xian Ginseng that the white-bearded old man had not had time to put away.

"You deserve to die!" Gu Zheng gritted his teeth.

"Go to hell!"

The fear on the white-bearded old man's face instantly turned into ferociousness, and he slapped Gu Zheng.

"Bang!"

Gu Zheng also launched a palm. The two palm winds collided in the air and made a huge sound. The temporary cave couldn't bear the confrontation between the two golden immortals and immediately collapsed.

The boulder rolled down, and Gu Zhengtang and Tang Mo slashed at the old man with a long beard.

Although the old man with a long beard was already in the late Golden Immortal stage, he was still far behind Gu Zheng. Not long after the fight, he was beheaded by Gu Zheng with a single blow.

"Hmph, let me see what's in your storage belt!"

Gu Zheng recognized the owner of the bearded old man's storage belt, and immediately burst into laughter when he saw it.

"It seems that this old boy must have reaped a lot of benefits while at Qingfengguan. He has four storage belts alone and seven mustard seed pockets. He is really a big landowner!"

After taking stock of what he got from the bearded old man, Gu Zheng smiled happily. He roughly divided the resources into four categories: weapon and alchemy resources, food and elixir resources, fairy coins and valuable goods resources.

There are a lot of resources for refining weapons and elixirs, and some of them are of high grade. If these resources are used to exchange for immortal coins, Gu Zheng thinks that they can be exchanged for at least thirteen blue immortal coins.

Among the food resources, there are also a lot of ordinary and medium-level ingredients. As for the excellent-level ingredients, there are more than a hundred items, and there are as many as six high-level ingredients.

Among the elixir resources, apart from some elixirs with other uses, the most abundant ones are the Immortal Essence Pills. There are ordinary and medium-level Xianyuan Pills, with a total of more than 150. They can all be used when Gu Zheng cooks Danyuan Food Cultivation.

The Mustard Seed Pocket and the storage belt are both very valuable items. Of course, the space inside the Mustard Seed Pocket can be large or small. The value of a Mustard Seed Pocket is almost the same as a low-level or mid-level fairy weapon. As for the space in the space belt, it also varies in size. The value depends on the size of the internal space. A storage belt can be exchanged for an intermediate or high-level fairy weapon.

When Gu Zheng was on Earth, he had a lot of mustard pockets and storage belts, but he left them all to his disciples before he ascended. If these things he got now could be exchanged for immortal coins, it would be a considerable income. After all, at the Qingfengguan auction, a Coiling Dragon Seal, which was not very powerful among intermediate immortal weapons, was sold for twenty-eight yellow immortal coins. And this kind of transaction price can almost be regarded as the price in the prehistoric times.

In addition to the mustard seed pocket and the storage belt, the valuable items also include six fairy weapons. Among these fairy weapons are four low-level fairy weapons, one mid-level fairy weapon, and one high-level fairy weapon. However, they are of little use for ancient battles. , you can sell it when you are short of money.

As for fairy coins, Gu Zheng received more than 400 red fairy coins, more than 100 yellow fairy coins, and seven blue fairy coins from the bearded old man!

"It's a pity that this northern reed ginseng is a pity."

After taking stock of resources, Gu Zheng picked up the Beili Xian Ginseng that had been picked in advance.

"Transplant it into the prehistoric space. If you can't find Beibi ginseng or a substitute ingredient for Beibi ginseng within fifty years, then it can be used." Qi Ling said.

"Fifty years is too long!"

Having said that, Gu Zheng still transplanted the Northern Reed Immortal Ginseng into the prehistoric space.

Unknowingly, three days passed. During these three days, Gu Zheng searched and searched in the mountains of Baiyun Town, but did not find the Beili Xian Ginseng again.

So, he ended his trip to Baiyun Town and flew towards Luxia Town. He was going to find Huang Qi, who had an agreement with him.

Luxia Town is located in Wuning County. Because there are Wujin Mine and Black Iron Mine in the formation, it is considered to be a relatively wealthy town in Wuning County.

When Gu Zheng flew to Luxia Town, there was still one day left before the time agreed with Huang Qi.

Piaomiao Inn is the largest inn in Luxia Town, and it is also the tallest building in the town. Gu Zheng had already seen it when he was still in the air, so he didn't need to spend much time looking for it.

"Hurry up, why are you so slow?"

As soon as Gu Zheng entered the inn, he heard an impatient voice. He saw two immortal cultivators standing in front of the inn's counter. The one who spoke was tapping his fingers on the counter from time to time, looking very anxious.

The two immortal cultivators are about the same age as Gu Zheng, but their cultivation has reached the middle stage of becoming a god. Such people can be regarded as elite-level disciples in some sects.

The chubby shopkeeper was also an immortal cultivator, but his cultivation was only at the early stage of Qi Transformation. He looked at the urging guests and frowned slightly.

"Guest, please take your hands down. It's not polite to knock on the counter. If you want to check out, you have to wait for someone to check the room." The shopkeeper said slowly.

"Shopkeeper, a big hole was burned in the bedding in their room!"

At this time, after finishing the ward inspection, he shouted down the stairs.

"Is there a big hole burned in the quilt?"

The shopkeeper glanced at the cultivator who was knocking on the counter before: "Your deposit is gone."

"Even if there is a big hole in the quilt, how much is it worth? And my deposit is six yellow fairy coins!" the cultivator shouted.

"What are you yelling about? Didn't I tell you the rules when you stayed in the hotel before? If you damage something, you have to pay for it! As for six yellow fairy coins, is that a lot? The quilts in our Piaomiao Inn are all from Sangtian County in Dongsheng Shenzhou. I think you should have heard about how expensive the quilts there are?" The shopkeeper said contemptuously.

"You said the quilts are from Sangtian County, they are from Sangtian County..."

"Don't talk nonsense here!"

The cultivator was interrupted by the shopkeeper's roar before he finished speaking.

"Little guy, now I tell you, either you accept the punishment honestly, or our Piaomiao Inn will treat this matter as a disturbance, you can choose one!" The shopkeeper narrowed his eyes and said.

"You..."

"Hu Daoyou, forget it!"

The cultivator wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by the cultivator next to him.

"Let's go, Piaomiao Inn is run by the Lin family, and the Lin family is not someone we can offend!"

Hearing his companion mention the Lin family, the cultivator, who was originally furious, seemed to calm down a lot. He didn't say anything more, just glanced at the shopkeeper, and followed his companions to leave Piaomiao Inn.

"Making trouble in Piaomiao Inn is really asking for death!"

The shopkeeper sneered at the backs of the two people, and then looked at Gu Zheng with a bright smile as if he had changed his face: "Guest, do you want to stay in the hotel?"

"Yes. Is there a guest named Huangqi here?" Gu Zheng asked.

There are many cultivators living in Piaomiao Inn, and almost all of the cultivators' rooms are also banned, so it is not possible to find someone through divine thoughts. Since Huangqi has made an appointment with Gu Zheng to meet here, if he arrives early, he will definitely explain to the shopkeeper.

"There is no such guest."

The shopkeeper paused, and then said: "If the guest has made an appointment with someone to meet here, then you can leave your name, so that when the person you agreed to meet comes here, I can tell him."

"My surname is Bai, waiting for Huangqi Huangdaoyou."

After Gu Zheng finished speaking, he took out a blue fairy coin: "Whenever you stay, when."

The accommodation fee standard was directly hung on the wall, which saved Gu Zheng from asking again. One blue fairy coin was equivalent to twenty-five yellow fairy coins, plus the deposit was enough for Gu Zheng to stay for several days.

"Okay, one room upstairs!"

The shopkeeper took the blue fairy coin, and immediately a waiter led Gu Zheng to the guest room.

The guest room was quite luxurious, with a total of one bedroom and one living room, and various furniture and furnishings were displayed inside.

After Gu Zheng arrived at the guest room, he set up a few restrictions and left the guest room. It was close to noon at this time. It was his first time in Luxia Town, and he wanted to go out for a walk.

The streets of Luxia Town are more prosperous, with many pedestrians coming and going, and a wide variety of things are sold.

After walking around two streets in Luxia Town, Gu Zheng stopped in front of a building called "Piaoxianglou" because he smelled a fragrance, which was the smell of egg fried rice.

Egg fried rice, a seemingly ordinary food, has a deep complex for Gu Zheng! At that time, Gu Zheng was still on Earth. It had not been long since he got the Tiexian Order. When he participated in the food competition, he met Wang Dong, who was good at making egg fried rice, and finally made the more outstanding egg fried rice "Golden Dragon Flying Sky".

"The fragrance is okay, with special hot sauce added to it, and the rice fragrance with a little spicy sauce is quite unique."

Gu Zheng commented on the egg fried rice in his heart, and then entered Piaoxianglou.

Piaoxianglou has three floors. It was dinner time at this time, and the guests were almost full, so Gu Zheng was arranged in the lobby on the third floor.

The food in Piaoxianglou is expensive, but this is not a fairy kitchen after all. No matter how expensive it is, it is not worth mentioning for the immortal cultivators.

Gu Zheng ordered an egg fried rice, several signature dishes recommended by the waiter, and a pot of "Yunxia Niang", and then waited for the food to be served.

The hall is not like the private room. It is a relatively noisy environment. The conversations of the diners around eating and drinking are also heard by Gu Zheng from time to time.

"The Chen family's auction will start in seven days. It is said that there are still many immortal cultivators participating this time."

"The Chen family itself is a family of immortal cultivators. It is not strange that there are immortal cultivators participating in their auctions."

The people who were discussing the Chen family were at the next table to Gu Zheng. One of them was young and the other was old. When they were discussing, their eyes were cast to Gu Zheng from time to time, because Gu Zheng had already opened the "Yunxia Niang" he ordered, and the aroma of the wine had attracted them.

Although the Yunxia Niang of Piaoxianglou is not an immortal wine, it is already a top-grade wine among ordinary wines, and the aroma is very unique.

"You two may as well come and sit down. I'll treat you to a drink. I also have something to ask you." Gu Zheng smiled at the two.

"What do you want to ask, brother?" the elder said.

"This is my first time in Luxia Town. I want to learn about the local customs and practices here." Gu Zheng said.

"Oh, Lao Huang, they're treating us to a drink, and you're still dawdling here!"

The young man rolled his eyes at the elder Lao Huang, sat opposite Gu Zheng with a smirk, picked up the wine glass on the table, poured himself a glass of Yunxia wine, drank it in one gulp, and was left with a face full of intoxication.

"What do you want to ask, brother? Tell me everything you know!"

As the saying goes, 'a man who eats someone's food should be grateful to someone who gives him something'. The young man drank a glass of wine from Gu Zheng and immediately patted his chest and said.

"You kid!"

Old Huang saw that the young man had already drunk a glass and didn't care about so much. He sat down at Gu Zheng's table and smiled at Gu Zheng, and also poured a glass of Yunxia Niang.

"Good wine!"

Old Huang put down the wine glass, sighed, and looked at Gu Zheng and said, "Young man, if you want to know the customs and habits of Luxia Town, let me, Old Huang, tell you!"

"Old Huang, you are not authentic! It should be us two who tell you!"

The young man glared at Old Huang. He was afraid that after Old Huang said that, Gu Zheng would not treat him to a drink.

"It's okay. It doesn't matter who you two say. This pot of Yunxia Niang is for you."

Gu Zheng pushed Yunxia Niang in front of the two people. After the two smiled and drank another glass each, they began to tell Gu Zheng about the situation in Luxia Town.
