Chapter 720: Making an Exception
In the past, food cultivation was not done in detail, because the effects of food cultivation occurred very quickly. But this time Danyuan Food Cultivation is different. The restless and gradual process of cooking also leads to the relatively slow development of its characteristics.
A large meatloaf was eaten by Gu Zheng. After he sat down cross-legged with satisfaction, all the pores in his body quickly opened. A strong suction force formed a tornado above his head, and the immortal energy on the hanging mountain began to rush crazily into his body. .
Although the characteristics of Danyuan Food Cultivation are hugely popular, it will not interfere with those who are in retreat. After all, retreat is a special state that cannot be disturbed by others. Immortal cultivators will set up various restrictions before retreating to prevent being disturbed by the outside world. interference.
However, not everyone is in retreat. Those who are not in retreat have already flown into the air.
"Oh my God! What kind of food cultivation fellow Taoist Bai is taking? Why is it so scary?"
Master Duan is one of the few people flying in the sky. At this time, he is looking at the location of Guzheng Cave, with an unquenchable shock on his face.
"I don't know what kind of food cultivator this is, but it is too terrifying. I have never seen a food cultivator that can produce such a level of plunder of immortal energy! It's hard to imagine that Fellow Daoist Bai's cultivation level will be improved because of this food cultivator. How much?"
The expression on Qianlong's face was the same as that of Master Duan. Although Ye Hongjiang beside him did not speak, he blinked hard, as if he wanted to distinguish whether this was an illusion or reality.
It’s no wonder that Master Duan and others were very shocked. After all, the vision in Guzheng Cave was too terrifying.
The immortal essence that was crazily plundered gathered into a thick white mist that could be seen with the naked eye, like waves of sea water, one after another.
Although everyone couldn't see Gu Zheng, they could see the tornado that was hundreds of feet high and couldn't be completely hidden by the ban, sweeping across the wave-like immortal essence.
Moreover, not only the immortal essence on the Xuankong Mountain was dispatched, but also the immortal essence within a certain radius was affected and condensed towards the Xuankong Mountain.
"Amitabha, this poor monk thinks he is well-informed, but the meal Taoist Master Bai gave me today still broke my inherent understanding of the Immortal Kitchen!" Master Wu Nian said.
"I thought that the effect of Ya Xin Food Cultivation was already extremely strong, but now it seems that the effect of Ya Xin Food Cultivation and the food repair that Fellow Daoist Bai is taking now are very different! It seems that when you ask Fellow Daoist Bai to cook, the effect will be stronger Only with food can you cultivate." Master Duan licked his lips, his eyes looking very excited.
"If I hadn't seen such a terrifying plunder of immortal essence today, I would have always thought that the food cultivator at the Yaxin food cultivator level was already the highest level of food cultivator." Ganlong said with emotion.
"Duan is different from fellow Taoist Gan. Duan has always felt that there must be a higher level of food cultivation above Yaxin Cao! After all, there are ingredients with higher grades than Yaxincao. There is no reason for food cultivators to do so. The road has come to an end when we reach the level of Yaxin Food Cultivator.”
Master Duan paused for a moment, then continued: "Unfortunately, several immortal chefs that Duan asked all said that there is no higher level of food cultivation. Even if I am willing to pay a high price, the answers I get are the same! Later! After arriving at Xuankong Mountain to live in seclusion, my expectations for high-level food cultivation have faded a lot, but who would have thought that How can I not be excited when I accidentally meet an immortal chef who can cook high-level food? Taking higher-level food is not only for the improvement of cultivation, this is also something Duan has in mind. If this knot can be untied, both Duan’s state of mind and his cultivation will be improved!”
"Amitabha!"
Master Wu Nian proclaimed the Buddha's name, and then said: "Although I really want to congratulate fellow Taoist Duan for achieving his wish, but things will not be so easy. In the eyes of the poor monk, Bia Xin Food Cultivation is a higher level food. Food repair should belong to the category that Xianchu does not supply to the outside world. Otherwise, the highest level of food repair provided by Xianchu store to the outside world cannot be only the first level of Yaxin food repair!"
"Indeed, the Immortal Chefs all have many rules, especially those of the Immortal Chef sect. However, Fellow Daoist Bai is not an Immortal Chef of the Immortal Chef sect, so the rules that other Immortal Chefs may have to abide by do not apply to him. Where is it?" Master Duan asked.
"It is indeed possible as Master Duan said!"
Ye Hongjiang also spoke: "However, even if Fellow Taoist Bai agrees, the price of cooking at this level will definitely be prohibitively expensive. Master Duan must be mentally prepared!"
"As long as Fellow Daoist Bai is willing to agree, resources are not a problem! Duan has helped people refine weapons over the years, and he has indeed harvested some good ingredients. Duan has never been willing to part with these ingredients, just waiting for this opportunity to appear. Ah!" Master Duan laughed.
"I envy you masters, all of you have abundant resources!" Ye Hongjiang shook his head and smiled bitterly.
No matter what these people outside say, the whole Gu Zheng at this moment feels like the immortal power is growing wildly.
The fairy power ball in the body has expanded to its peak, and the compression process will follow. Once the fairy power ball is compressed, Gu Zheng's cultivation level will be the middle stage of Daluo Jinxian.
Compared with ordinary immortal cultivators, Gu Zheng's cultivation progress is really fast! And being able to practice at such a fast speed is not only due to him being the successor of Tiexian, but also due to his opportunity.
Just like the last time he took Alchemy Food Cultivation in the Skeleton Palace, the Alchemy Food Cultivation that time was not enough to allow him to have a lot of immortality to fill the middle stage of Daluo Golden Immortal after he advanced to the early stage of Daluo Golden Immortal.
However, in the mysterious realm of the early stage of advancing to Daluo Jinxian, the immortal power ball in Gu Zheng's body and the spirit of the five elements of his life all underwent extraordinary qualitative changes, which triggered the blessings of heaven and earth, making more immortal essence The Tie Immortal Art that poured into his body made him reach the level of 20% of the sixth level!
Compared with the last Danyuan Food Cultivation, this time the Danyuan Food Cultivation is undoubtedly more effective, but without the blessing of heaven and earth in it, it is already enough to make the Tiexian Jue with 20% of the sixth level reach 30% of the sixth level. Very good. After all, the further your cultivation goes, the greater the amount of immortal energy you need to advance. Like Gu Zheng, you can improve your cultivation a lot with just one food cultivation, which is really something that others will not envy.
Black and white light emitted from the Guzheng Immortal Power Ball. Under the compression of the Guzheng Revolutionary Immortal Technique, the speed of the originally rapidly rotating Immortal Power Ball slowed down, and the original light also dimmed.
Finally, the rotating fairy power ball stopped in Gu Zheng's Dantian. The originally very dim black and white light suddenly lit up at this moment. The fairy power ball in Gu Zheng's body also had a different look. From the previous calmness, the transformation is now complete.
Gu Zheng's cultivation level advanced, and Tie Xianjue, as expected, reached 30% of the sixth level, bringing his realm to the level equivalent to the middle stage of Daluo Jinxian.
However, the effect of food repair this time also ended quickly. Unlike the previous food repair, the effect of food repair will last for a while before disappearing after the cultivation level is advanced.
"The further you advance in cultivation, the more difficult it becomes to improve. The next time you practice the same alchemy and food cultivation, you will definitely not be able to reach the sixth level or 40%."
Although it will become difficult to improve his cultivation level, it is not a big deal for Gu Zheng. If he can't cultivate once, he will do it twice, or more times. Anyway, with the resources he has at hand now, it is not a big deal for Gu Zheng. Food repair can be done a dozen times.
However, there needs to be a period of time between each intake of food repair. This is to stabilize the rapidly improving state, and secondly, it is to allow the body to recover. After all, when the special effect of food repair occurs, the pores all over the body open and turn into whirlpools. This is also a very strange consumption! If the two times of food repair are taken at inappropriate times, all pores will not turn into vortices by then, which will affect the effect of the food repair.
"Congratulations, master, for advancing in cultivation!"
Seeing Gu Zheng open his eyes, Die Ling cheered.
Gu Zheng smiled slightly and reached out to touch Die Ling's hair.
"Master, those people have been watching outside. Do you want to meet them?"
Master Wu Nian and others could not see the situation in the square, but Gu Zheng and Die Ling, who were in the restricted area, could see their appearance.
"No need, I put up a barrier just because I don't want to say anything to them. They will definitely be shocked, and I don't want to see them either!"
Gu Zheng paused, looked at Butterfly Spirit and said with a smile: "Have you picked out what you want to eat? Tell me when you have picked it up. I will prepare it for you now and then take a small retreat for a few days."
"Very good!"
Butterfly Spirit cheered: "I want to eat 'Gufeng Feixue' and 'Three Treasures Braised'!"
"Okay, let's go back to the cave!"
Gu Zheng was in front, and Die Ling was jumping behind. She was looking forward to the delicious food in her heart, and she couldn't help but salivate in her mouth.
After returning to the cave, Gu Zheng immediately started to pack the ingredients and prepare to cook the two dishes she ordered for Die Ling. However, this matter is destined to be delayed. After all, there is someone who has the same urgency as Die Ling. This person is Master Duan.
When Master Duan came, Gu Zheng invited him into the cave, and Die Ling also served him tea.
"Master came here this time for food and cultivation?"
Gu Zheng had already guessed the purpose of Master Duan's visit. When he was in the square before, he had seen the excitement on Master Duan's face through the restriction.
"Yes, I wonder if Master Bai can make me a meal like the one you had before?" Master Duan looked forward to it with hope.
"Master Duan should know that the profession of Immortal Chef has many rules that belong to them. Although I am not a member of the Immortal Chef sect, I also have the rules set by the master and cannot easily make exceptions!" Gu Zheng said.
There are indeed unwritten rules in Gu Zheng when it comes to cooking for others. Just like when he was still on earth, he opened the Fairy Kitchen restaurant Jixiang Xiaozhu, which was considered as opening the door to do business, but Qi Ling He was only allowed to sell Zengyuan Food Repair.
Regarding this point, Gu Zheng also asked Qi Ling about the reason, and Qi Ling's answer was that he didn't want others to enjoy the same treatment as him! Moreover, in addition to the food cultivation passed down by Tiexian, in addition to the food cultivation of increasing energy and the food cultivation of animal spirits, if Gu Zheng had to do higher-level food cultivation for others, he would also have to obtain the consent of the weapon spirit.
"We can't make exceptions easily. It's not that we can't make exceptions at all. I just don't know if Master Bai is willing to make an exception for Duan?"
Master Duan looked at Gu Zheng, and Gu Zheng also looked at Master Duan, but he didn't speak immediately.
Although Qi Ling once said that if you want to do high-level food cultivation for others, you need her consent. But things are different now. Since Tiexian let Guzheng practice in the wilderness, the weapon spirit has been very lenient with him on many things unless they are explicitly stipulated.
Now that the weapon spirit is still sleeping, Gu Zheng cannot wait for her to wake up before talking to Master Duan about this matter. Just like before in Sanskrit County, Gu Zheng bought the 'Xuanlu Immortal Grass' and transplanted it into the prehistoric space without waiting for the tool spirit.
As far as Gu Zheng is concerned, now he can make his own decisions on many things. After all, he is already a Daluo Jinxian, not the young boy he was on earth. This is the same even if the weapon spirit is awake.
Knowing Master Duan's purpose, Gu Zheng had already weighed the pros and cons in his mind, and had already made up his mind to do this food repair for Master Duan. However, even if he had an idea, he couldn't agree too easily, otherwise how could he express the preciousness of making an exception!
"Master Bai, please make an exception for Duan! As long as you make an exception for Duan, Duan will never let you down in terms of reward!"
Master Duan pleaded. Although Gu Zheng didn't say that he absolutely couldn't make an exception, his silence really made Master Duan anxious like an ant on a hot pot.
"It's not about whether to pay or not, but I'm just wondering, is Master Duan worth making this exception for me?"
Gu Zheng looked at Master Duan, as if he wanted to see into his heart.
After hearing what Gu Zheng said, Master Duan immediately patted his chest: "Master Bai, don't worry, just ask about Duan's character! If Master Bai is willing to do this food repair for Duan, Duan will remember this favor from the master!"
Master Duan is a first-class weapon refining master, and Gu Zheng values his favor very much, which is also what Gu Zheng wants. Now that he had obtained what he wanted, Gu Zheng nodded solemnly.
"For high-quality food repair, the things needed will be very precious, and the rewards for the immortal chef will be very high!"
Before, when Gu Zheng helped Master Duan and others to make food repair, the charging standard was based on the standard of the Honghuang Immortal Kitchen Shop. They provided the ingredients for cooking food repair, and Gu Zheng received resources equivalent to 30% and 35% of the total value of the ingredients from Zengyuan Food Repair and Yaxin Food Repair respectively as rewards.
Although it was a considerable expense to pay more than 30% of the total value of the ingredients, Master Duan and others also expressed their gratitude to Gu Zheng. After all, Gu Zheng was a first-class immortal chef, but the charging standard was the same as that of the immortal kitchen shops outside, which was already very face-giving and a great discount.
"Since you came to see Fellow Daoist Bai, Duan naturally understands this! Please tell me, Fellow Daoist Bai, what ingredients are needed to make a high-quality food repair like the one you ate before, and how much is the reward!" Master Duan said.
"Daoyou Duan is a master of refining equipment. He should have a rich reserve of general food resources. But for the high-quality food repair I eat, the main ingredients need to be immortal ingredients! I have to look at the immortal resources first before I can determine what the other auxiliary ingredients are. Moreover, to cook a food repair like that, two immortal ingredients are needed. I wonder if Daoyou Duan has any immortal ingredients?"
For Gu Zheng, immortal ingredients are almost priceless. Even if he agrees to cook food repair for Master Duan, he can't give him his immortal ingredients. After all, he only has 14 immortal ingredients, and he has to keep them for his own food repair in the future.
As for cooking a high-standard Danyuan food repair, Gu Zheng must report more ingredients. This is not to say that he deliberately wants to kill Master Duan, but he can cook such a powerful food repair with very few resources. Once this matter is spread, it will not be of any benefit to him.
"I have immortal ingredients here!"
Master Duan was also unambiguous. With a wave of his hand, three immortal resources appeared on Gu Zheng's table. His action made Gu Zheng's heart move. He could take out resources with a wave of his hand. This could only mean that he had a high-level air fairy weapon! It has been a few years since he entered the prehistoric world. Master Duan is the first person Gu Zheng has seen who uses a high-level space fairy weapon.
"Since Fellow Daoist Duan has fairy ingredients, let's talk about what the other ingredients are. One hundred excellent-level fairy Yuan Dan, forty high-level fairy Yuan Dan, two fairy ingredients, and six high-level ingredients, which are..."
Gu Zheng doubled the ingredients needed for cooking Dan Yuan food cultivation and told Master Duan. It has to be said that the raw materials for cooking food cultivation alone can scare most cultivators! However, Master Duan is a first-class refining master, and refining is also a high-return profession. Although Master Duan frowned slightly, he was not unable to afford the resources needed for cooking food cultivation.
"These are the things that Fellow Daoist Bai said!"
Master Duan took out a pile of resources and put them on the table, including fairy Yuan Dan and the ingredients that Gu Zheng named.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, tell me what you need as a reward!" Master Duan said.
"Fellow Daoist Duan, you also know what the reward for cooking ordinary food is. The higher the quality of the food, the more fees are required. This is also common sense."
Gu Zheng paused, and then said: "However, fellow Daoist is not an ordinary customer, I will definitely give you a discount. Let's do this, I will help you cook this food, and I only want this fairy ingredient as a reward!"
The higher the quality of the food, the more the fee will naturally be. The number of resources required for cooking this food is huge, and it is not unreasonable for Gu Zheng to charge a fairy ingredient as a reward.
Although the fairy ingredients are very precious, they are also the preparations made by Master Duan for this opportunity. Without the cooking of food, the fairy resources are just commodities! Therefore, Master Duan has no objection to Gu Zheng charging a fairy ingredient as a reward.
"The matter has been settled, but I hope that Fellow Daoist Duan can keep it secret about what resources are needed to cook such a food and the question of remuneration." Gu Zheng said.
"Don't worry, fellow Daoist. I am not the kind of person who doesn't know what's good for me. We are the only ones who know what's going on here." Master Duan said gratefully.
"Okay!"
Gu Zheng nodded and said, "When will fellow Daoist need this high-quality food?"
"I haven't had time to take the Yaxin food that I ordered before. The time is scheduled for the day after tomorrow. After taking the Yaxin food, it is estimated that my body will need some time to recover. I feel that I will not be able to take high-quality food within half a month!" Master Duan said.
"In this case, Daoist friend, take these things back first, and come to me when you can take high-quality food!" Gu Zheng said.
"No, I trust Daoist friend Bai, and I will leave these ingredients to Daoist friend Bai!" Master Duan said with a smile.
"Okay! Since Daoist friend Duan is trustworthy, these ingredients will be placed here first, and you can come to me when you need them." Gu Zheng said.
After deciding on the food, Master Duan chatted with Gu Zheng for a while and then said goodbye to Gu Zheng.
