Chapter 717 It’s Done
"Why does the master want to go out for a walk? Is it because of the hustle and bustle outside?"
There are various immortal formations and prohibitions in the cave. In addition to protecting the cave, these immortal formations and prohibitions also have the function of isolating the outside sounds. However, it is very simple to know what is happening outside when you are in the cave. As long as the owner of the cave does something simple, the image near the cave will appear in the cave.
At this time, Die Ling and Gu Zheng were both staring at an image on the cave wall, which was the situation near the cave. Although there was no one else in the image, there was a faint voice coming from it.
"It's not because of the hustle and bustle outside, but I need to make food to eat."
As an immortal chef, Gu Zheng's main means of improving his cultivation is through various food. Now it has been a while since the last time he took food, and it is time to cook a food to improve his cultivation.
"Huh? Make food to eat, why go out for a walk?" Die Ling asked puzzledly.
"The immortal essence here is rich, but it belongs to the territory of Buddhism. Once you take food, you will plunder the immortal essence crazily, which may affect others." Gu Zheng said.
"Ah? Then can't you take food here?" Die Ling frowned slightly.
"It's not that you can't take food here, but you need to make an appointment with the deacon monk before taking it. During the time you were sleeping, I have already found the deacon monk, and the appointment time is today. However, in order to prevent any variables from happening, you still have to go and confirm before taking food." Gu Zheng said.
"So that's the case, then let's go out, master, I haven't taken a good look at this Hanging Mountain!" Die Ling said happily.
Gu Zheng took Die Ling out and flew straight to the cave of the deacon monk.
Hanging Mountain is very large. As the distance gets closer, the sound that was originally faintly heard in the cave has become clearer and clearer.
"Master, what are you doing? Are you preaching?" Die Ling asked curiously.
"That's right. The monks of Xuankong Mountain will come to give lectures and discuss the Dao every once in a while, and they don't shy away from outsiders. The place for the lectures and discussions is outside the cave of the deacon monk." Gu Zheng said.
The deacon monk is responsible for managing Xuankong Mountain. There is a square outside his cave, where a group of people are exchanging their cultivation experiences.
Gu Zheng's arrival did not attract much attention, but the butterfly spirit following him made people look at him twice.
The deacon monk was communicating with others. When he saw Gu Zheng coming, he nodded to Gu Zheng and asked him to wait for a moment.
There were many stone benches on the square. After Gu Zheng sat down with the butterfly spirit, the butterfly spirit sent a message to Gu Zheng.
"A bunch of bald heads, there are very few with hair!"
"There are only five caves for sale in Xuankong Mountain. Each of the five outsiders can only bring in one servant, so the number is naturally not comparable to that of the monks." Gu Zheng said.
The monks were lecturing on the sutras and discussing the Dao, while Gu Zheng and Die Ling were communicating privately. After about half an incense stick, the sutras and discussions ended. Some people left the square, while others were still talking.
Seeing the deacon monk coming over here, Gu Zheng and Die Ling stood up.
"Friend Bai, is this the servant you mentioned before?"
The deacon monk looked at Die Ling. As the deacon of Xuankong Mountain, he had to know the number of servants of outsiders. Although the immortal essence here is rich, the consumption is naturally greater when there are more people, so there is a limit on the number of people.
"That's right." Gu Zheng said.
"As beautiful as the white clouds in the sky!" The deacon monk nodded to Die Ling.
Her own cultivation is equivalent to the realm of Daluo Jinxian, and she is a monk of the high monk level. The fact that the deacon monk can say such words shows how outstanding Die Ling's appearance is.
However, the deacon monk's praise does not have any other meaning, just like seeing a beautiful cloud flying across the sky.
"Thank you for your praise, Master!" Die Ling bowed.
The deacon monk smiled slightly and looked at Gu Zheng and said, "Fellow Daoist Bai, you may have to wait a little longer. Fellow Daoist Duan hasn't come out yet!"
The last time Gu Zheng came to make an appointment, the deacon monk told Gu Zheng that there was a first-class weapon refining master named Duan on the Hanging Mountain who was refining a fairy weapon.
When Gu Zheng came to make an appointment, it was an extraordinary period when the fairy weapon refined by Master Duan might succeed at any time, so for the sake of safety, the deacon monk asked Gu Zheng to wait for two days.
Now two days have passed, but the fairy weapon refined by Master Duan is still in the process of refining.
"Master Wu Nian, what fairy weapon is this Master Duan refining?"
It was the first time he met the deacon monk before, and Gu Zheng couldn't ask some things, but now the appointment time has come, and this Master Duan has not yet refined the fairy weapon, which makes him quite curious.
Although Gu Zheng is not a master of refining, he knows a little about refining. How long does it take to refine a fairy weapon? This is a concept of time that a master of refining will have when he comes into contact with the materials. This is just like Gu Zheng knows how to cook a dish and how long it will take to make it as soon as he sees the ingredients.
Generally speaking, the time estimated by the master of refining is one day at most. If it exceeds this error, either the refining fails in advance or something goes wrong during the refining process, and the result is likely to be failure.
Gu Zheng made a reservation two days ago, but it was during the time period when Master Duan could succeed in refining at any time. This abnormal situation has exceeded the one-day error that is almost a rule.
"Master Duan is helping my senior brother refine a space fairy weapon."
Monk Wu Nian paused for a moment, and then continued: "This kind of space immortal weapon is quite special. When it is about to be refined, it is relatively sensitive to the changes in the immortal essence in the air. Therefore, it cannot withstand the process of condensing immortal essence and food cultivation like the Juyuan Array. Special effects plunder such a toss.”
When Monk Wu Nian's voice fell, almost everyone in the square looked at one place, because they all felt that the flow of immortal energy in the air had changed greatly.
"I have finally begun to absorb the immortal essence. It seems that the immortal weapon refined by Master Duan will be completed!"
Monk Wu Nian sighed with emotion, as if his heart was finally letting go.
At this time, the two immortal cultivators who were chatting together in the square walked toward Gu Zheng and the others.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, I'm so polite to Ganlong!"
The old man in black among the two clasped his fists towards Gu Zheng.
"Do you know me, fellow Daoist Gan?" Gu Zheng returned the courtesy.
"I heard Master Wu Nian say before that Fellow Taoist Bai is an immortal chef, so he came to visit him!" Gan Long said.
"So that's it. Nice to meet you!" Gu Zheng said with a smile.
The old man in yellow next to the old man in black said, "Fellow Taoist Bai, I'm Ye Hongjiang. I wonder if fellow Taoist will accept the business?"
"The main purpose of living in Xuankong Mountain is to practice in seclusion. However, since there is no seclusion now and we are all neighbors, it doesn't hurt to take on a business." Gu Zheng said.
"The two fellow Taoists are addicted to alcohol again!"
Master Wu Nian on the side smiled at Gan Long and Ye Hongjiang, then looked at Gu Zheng and said: "Gan and Daoyou Ye are old residents of Xuankong Mountain. They have a good personal relationship. Whenever they come out of seclusion together, Always have a few drinks!”
"We are both addicted to alcohol, but Master, it seems you haven't drank for a while, right?" Qianlong said with a smile.
"Indeed, since the last time I had a drink with you two, I haven't had a drink in three years." Master Wu Nian said.
"Three years? Why does it feel like three months to me?"
Ye Hongjiang shook his head and smiled. The concept of time is really a bit blurry for immortal cultivators.
"As the saying goes, it's better to be in time than to be in time. Since you two happened to come out of seclusion, and it happened that our Taoist Fellow Bai, the immortal chef, came to Xuankong Mountain, as long as Master Duan's immortal weapon can be successfully refined today, I will make a show Let’s have a banquet for you all!” Master Wu Nian said.
"This feeling is good!"
"It's rare that Master Wu Nian wants to treat a guest, and he also invites a feast from the Immortal Chef. This is really exciting!"
Gan Long and Ye Hongjiang laughed.
"I didn't ask in detail when we met last time. I wonder what level of Immortal Chef Bai is?" Master Wu Nian asked.
Immortal chefs are also divided into three levels, with the third level being the lowest and the first level being the highest. If you want to obtain a certificate for the level of the Immortal Chef, you need to take an assessment in the Immortal Chef Alliance composed of twelve Immortal Chef sects.
The higher the level of the Immortal Chef, the more it can be used to its best advantage. The same ingredients in the hands of Immortal Chefs of different levels will naturally produce different effects. As for the fees charged by different levels of Immortal Chefs, they are also different.
"Since I am not a member of the Immortal Chef Sect, I did not go to the Immortal Chef Alliance to obtain a level certificate." Gu Zheng said.
"Although Fellow Daoist Bai did not go to the Immortal Chef Alliance to obtain a grade certificate, Fellow Daoist Bai should also know what grade of Immortal Chef he is, right?" Master Wu Nian asked again.
"Of course I know this, I am a first-grade immortal chef."
Gu Zheng's smile made Master Wu Nian and others open their eyes wide. They felt incredible.
Master Wu Nian and others find it incredible, but this is not something incomprehensible. After all, in an Immortal Chef sect, there are no more than three first-grade Immortal Chefs! Usually, the chef of a certain fairy chef restaurant is only a second-grade fairy chef. Just like Lu Piaoxiang, her cooking skills are only that of a second-grade immortal chef.
"A first-class immortal chef."
Master Wu Nian murmured, then gritted his teeth and said, "Fellow Taoist Bai is a first-class immortal chef. This is really surprising! So what is the charging standard for Taoist Bai's cooking?"
If you are not doing food repair or diet therapy, you are just doing ordinary cooking. Generally speaking, the dishes made by the first-grade immortal chef will naturally taste better than those made by the second-grade immortal chef. However, for non-Xianchu tasters, this is like a layman watching the show. They can feel the good, but they can't tell anything too connotative.
Although to a layman, the same food made by a first-grade immortal chef and a second-grade immortal chef will not taste much different, the remuneration paid by the two is very different! Because Yipin Xianchu is undoubtedly an elder-level existence in the Xianchu sect. They will not cook for others easily. Once they do, the fee must be worthy of their worth.
Gu Zheng is a first-class immortal chef, so this means that Master Wu Nian may have to pay three times the price for the same dish to be worthy of Gu Zheng's status.
Master Wu Nian gritted his teeth in pain, and Gu Zheng naturally saw it. He wanted to laugh a little in his heart. After all, he knew that Master Wu Nian didn't want to go out to treat guests anymore, so he wanted to stay close. But what Master Wu Nian didn't expect was that he turned out to be a very valuable first-class immortal chef! This made Master Wu Nian, who had originally planned to just treat him to an ordinary Immortal Chef's banquet, suddenly feel a little distressed.
"Although Mr. Bai is a first-class chef, we are also neighbors. Mr. Bai is also very happy to gather with you today, so for today's banquet, Mr. Bai only charges the cost and no profit!" Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"Amitabha!"
Master Wu Nian proclaimed the Buddha's name, saluted Gu Zheng and said, "My humble monk is very grateful for the kindness and righteousness of my fellow Taoist Bai!"
"fine."
Gu Zheng smiled again, and then said sternly: "However, this is the only time to charge only the cost. After all, Bai himself is an immortal chef! If another Taoist friend invites Bai to cook in the future, then the resources Bai should receive are still To be charged.”
"This is natural. How can you let fellow Taoist Bai avoid being singled out twice!" Master Wu Nian said seriously.
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Bai, if you really want to invite Fellow Daoist Bai to show off your skills, naturally we can't do any errands!"
"Thank you for today's meal, Fellow Daoist Bai!"
Gan Long and Ye Hongjiang also spoke one after another. However, the two of them were somewhat depressed. The only exception to the bill exemption was used by Master Wu Nian this time. This saved Master Wu Nian a lot of resources!
"Rumble..."
Suddenly there was a thunderous sound high in the sky, and the immortal essence that had been swarming towards Master Duan's cave also became more urgent at the sound of thunder. Moreover, along with the immortal essence pouring into the cave, there was actually a trace of electric light.
"The last step!"
Master Wu Nian was very excited, but it could be seen from his clenched fists that he was also very nervous.
There are thunder sounds and electric light, which means that this fairy weapon is extraordinary. If it can withstand the test of the electric light, then the fairy weapon is completed. If it cannot withstand the test of the electric light, then this fairy weapon It was therefore ruined.
"Master Wu Nian, what kind of space artifact is this? What grade does it have to have such an abnormality?" Gu Zheng asked curiously.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, this is not a space fairy weapon in the traditional sense, but an fairy weapon used to break open space!"
When Master Wu Nian said this, Gu Zheng's eyes immediately lit up: "This fairy weapon was refined for Master's senior brother. Could it be that Master's senior brother is going to the lower world?"
"Yes, Fellow Daoist Bai must have guessed that the poor monk's senior brother was hit by the Mark of Chaos, so he wanted to go to the lower world to take refuge. However, the poor monk's cultivation level is already equivalent to that of your late Daluo Jinxian, and the power of the law allows With this level of cultivation, it becomes extremely dangerous and difficult to enter the lower realm, so we need a space fairy weapon that can open up a safe passage for this level," said Master Wu Nian.
Gu Zheng nodded. Although he didn't say anything else, he was still somewhat shocked. This level of weapon refining master really had two brushes, and he could actually refine such an immortal weapon. In the past, Gu Zheng thought that if you want to get to the lower realm, you can find space nodes, use the fixed astrolabe, and access space sacred stones and other items to improve the safety of space travel. But now it seems that none of these methods are more effective than refining an immortal weapon that can break open space. After all, it can attract thunder and lightning, which shows that this magical weapon is extraordinary.
"Rumble..."
There was another thunder in the air, and then a ray of rays of light fell on Master Duan's cave. The immortal essence that originally poured into the cave also returned to calm at this time.
"It's done!" Master Wu Nian said excitedly.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Hearty laughter came from Master Duan's cave. After the door of the cave opened, Master Duan with white hair walked out of the cave.
"Master Wu Nian, fortunately you have lived up to your destiny!"
Master Duan handed the refined space fairy weapon into the hands of Master Wu Nian.
The appearance of the fairy weapon is like a disk, with mysterious characters and patterns on it. It is like the product of the fusion of several things, because Gu Zheng saw the fixed astrolabe, space god stone and other spaces that have not changed much. The look of the material.
"Thank you, thank you Master Duan!"
After Master Wu Nian thanked him, he carefully put the immortal weapon away, as if it would be broken if it was too heavy.
"Now your senior brother no longer has to worry about falling in the space shuttle. It's not enough for you to just say thank you verbally!" Master Duan laughed.
"I'm going to treat Master Duan to a fairy kitchen banquet to express my gratitude!" Master Wu Nian said.
"Immortal Kitchen Feast? We still have to go to the outside world. I'm too lazy to fly anymore. Refining this immortal weapon consumes a lot of money. I need a good rest!" Master Duan said helplessly.
"No need to go anywhere else! We now have a first-grade immortal chef in Xuankong Mountain. Let me introduce it to you, fellow Taoist Bai Shubai!"
Master Wu Nian pointed at Gu Zheng, and Master Duan looked at Gu Zheng with eyes widened as well: "First-grade Immortal Chef?"
"That's right." Gu Zheng smiled.
"Awesome, Duan is very lucky today!"
Although Master Duan didn't say anything, and Master Wu Nian and others didn't say anything before, Gu Zheng knew that they didn't really believe it. However, there is no need to say much about this kind of thing. Anyway, when the food comes out, they will be able to taste it and see if it is made by the Immortal Chef.
"Easy to say."
Gu Zheng still just smiled.
"Now that Master Duan has come out of seclusion, fellow Taoist Lao Bai will be here next. Do you have a menu here?" Master Wu Nian said.
"have!"
Gu Zheng took out the menu from his storage belt. After Master Wu Nian read it, he immediately reached out and ordered a few dishes.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, I want to order double portions of these dishes, but I have some of the ingredients, and some of them I don't have here!" Master Wu Nian said.
"It doesn't matter. I have all the ingredients for these dishes. Give me the ones you have. As for the ingredients you don't have, just exchange them from me for ingredients of the same level." Gu Zheng said.
"good!"
Master Wu Nian quickly gave Gu Zheng enough ingredients, and then he handed the menu to Master Xiang Duan: "Master, take a look, just order whatever you want!"
"As long as the guest does as the host does!" Master Duan said with a smile.
"Where are the two fellow Taoists?"
Master Wu Nian handed the menu to Gan Long and Ye Hongjiang.
"Of course we are the guests who follow the host's wishes."
"Master Wu Nian is too polite."
Gan Long and Ye Hongjiang naturally knew that Master Wu Nian was just being polite.
"Okay then!"
Master Wu Nian smiled at them and returned the menu to Gu Zheng: "Today there will be twelve people attending the banquet. Thank you, Brother Bai!"
"It's okay. You can chat for a while. I'll go back to cook."
Gu Zheng took the menu and returned to the cave with Die Ling.
