Chapter 752
More than a month of busy work passed quickly. Gu Zheng settled all the troubles that needed to be settled. Now in this world, there are many temples enshrining his statues.
Before I knew it, more than a month had passed. During this period, Gu Zheng traveled around the places where he had the power of faith, helping the believers there to solve some problems, or giving out some dietary treatments that could cure diseases and strengthen the body, in order to consolidate the believers' faith in him. .
However, Gu Zheng generally does not meet with believers. Many things are done by Die Ling for him, because he also needs believers to have expectations of meeting him, so as to facilitate the collection of wishes.
Nowadays, whether it is the power of will or the pure power of faith, the weapon spirits are also helping Gu Zheng collect them, and their quantity is also accumulating at a gratifying speed.
"Item Spirit, more than three months have passed. According to the current collection of wish power and pure faith power, when can I return to the wilderness?"
Gu Zheng has always been looking forward to returning to the prehistoric era to meet Tie Xian.
"Even though the power of will and pure faith is accumulating very quickly now, it is estimated that you will still have to stay on earth for another year." Qi Ling said.
"One year?" Gu Zheng frowned.
One year is very short for a cultivator, but when one is looking forward to something very much, one year is so long. Moreover, in a low-level plane like the earth, it is not cost-effective to take high-level food cultivation. If he really has to stay for a year, Gu Zheng's cultivation level will not improve much in this year.
"Although the power of will and pure faith are accumulated very quickly nowadays, you also have a great demand for these things. It is rare that the situation in this world is so good, providing you with the opportunity to quickly accumulate will and pure faith. It’s a tough environment, so you’d better wait patiently for a while!” Qi Ling said.
"All right!"
Gu Zheng's voice paused, and then he said: "Now that everything is on track, there is no trivial matter. Can I take on the task of expanding the prehistoric space?"
"You can take it! However, once I tell you the content of the mission, the mission will take effect immediately, so before you take the mission, go to another plane first, and then I will tell you the specific content of the mission." Qi Ling said.
"Is this a task that I need to complete in other planes?" Gu Zheng asked.
"Yes, because the earth is your hometown and you know too many people here, they will have a certain impact on your mission, so you have to go to other planes to complete this mission." Qi Ling said.
"Anyway, for me now, space travel is not that dangerous anymore. I can also go to other planes to do tasks. However, are there any requirements for the tasks in the plane I am going to?"
Although Gu Zheng has not been to many alien planes, he has long had such a thing as a 'star map', and he has some knowledge of many planes. In addition, having mastered more ways of space, Gu Zheng will indeed reduce a lot of risks when traveling through space, but traveling through space will also consume materials, so this kind of thing cannot be as casual as eating! When Gu Zheng has a better understanding of the way of space, the consumption of time travel will naturally be reduced, until space time travel no longer needs to rely on any external objects.
"There are no special requirements, as long as there are people in this plane." Qi Ling said.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements as soon as possible." Gu Zheng nodded.
There was nothing special about the so-called arrangement. After Gu Zheng told the higher-ups in the sect that they needed to retreat for a period of time, he immediately started looking for space nodes.
Since the mission did not have many requirements for location, Gu Zheng set his target on the ‘Fenglan Star’.
Fenglan Star is a rather special planet. It is in a parallel relationship with the earth. The two have the same area, race, language, etc., let alone fighting over Fenglan Star in ancient times, even if it is An ordinary person can survive on Fenglan Planet.
Gu Zheng chose Fenglan Star purely out of curiosity. After all, he had never been to this kind of parallel plane to the earth.
After finding the space node, Gu Zheng entered the black hole and flew in the black hole for three days. After finding the node connecting the black hole to Fenglan Star, he broke through the node and appeared on Fenglan Star.
The location where Gu Zheng appeared was above a mountain range. Heavy snow was falling in the sky. The amount of immortal energy in the air was the same as on the earth. The scenery underfoot also gave people a feeling of déjà vu.
"This is the Kunlun Mountains of Fenglan Star."
Qi Ling has a lot of information about the planes. As soon as she arrived at Fenglan Star, she located the location of Gu Zheng.
"Kunlun? Is it called Kunlun on Fenglan Star?" Die Ling asked.
Die Ling did not stay in the prehistoric space all the time. She followed Gu Zheng along the way and gained insights. However, she didn't know much about this plane that was very similar to the earth.
"That's right! There is not only Kunlun here, but also Shu Mountain. Just like in Shu Mountain in the prehistoric times, there are also immortal cultivators from the Shushan sect on Fenglan Star who ascended there. Moreover, it is not just the names of mountains and rivers that are similar, but the names of many things are also similar. It’s all the same, it’s not surprising to meet someone who looks exactly like your master here!” Qi Ling said.
"Ah? Does he have a relationship with his master? If someone else kills him, will it have any impact on his master?"
Die Ling's eyes widened. Anything involving ancient disputes was no small matter to her.
"There must be a relationship between parallel universes, but this relationship is very mysterious. I know exactly what it is anyway. However, if there really is such a person, even if he is killed, it will not have any impact on your master. So don't worry." Qi Ling said.
During this period of time, there has been quite a lot of communication between the Artifact Spirit and the Butterfly Spirit. However, whether it is towards the current Butterfly Spirit or the previous Meow Meow, the Artifact Spirit's attitude towards talking to them is always aloof. kind.
"Your master? Am I not your master?" Gu Zheng rolled his eyes at Qi Ling.
Although Qi Ling sometimes said that Gu Zheng was her master, under normal circumstances, she didn't like to talk about Gu Zheng being her master.
"hey-hey."
Qi Ling did not refute Gu Zheng, but just smiled.
"Now that we are in another dimension, let's talk about the mission!" Gu Zheng said.
"Can!"
Qi Ling nodded, and his expression turned serious: "Congratulations to the successor of Tiexian for receiving the task of 'Cooking Master'. This task requires the successor of Tiexian..."
Qi Ling has already released the mission, but Gu Zheng's frowning brows still haven't relaxed. I have to say that this mission is very special!
To put it simply, the task this time is to open a restaurant in Gu Zheng and complete 120 orders of business within three months! There is no penalty for failure, but all the rewards upon completion are gone, including the expansion of the prehistoric space.
The tasks of ‘Culinary Mastery’ are completely different from the ‘Xianchu Restaurant Trial’ that Gu Zheng did before! The "Xianchu Restaurant Small Trial" means that after the menu is drawn up, the customer comes to order, and the two parties successfully complete the transaction, which is regarded as a business that meets the requirements. However, the task of ‘Culinary Mastery’ requires customers to provide their own ingredients and condiments, and let Gu Zheng cook them.
On the surface, the task of ‘cultivating mastery’ does not seem to be difficult, and Gu Zheng has cooked the ingredients provided by diners more than once. However, the real difficulty lies in the tricky task method. It is the real test of 'cultivation skills'!
First of all, the task requires Gu Zheng to open a restaurant instead of an Immortal Kitchen restaurant. This means that the source of customers will not be limited to immortal cultivators. Secondly, the store’s outing notice lists the hotel’s rules. As long as the ingredients and condiments provided by the diners are considered ingredients and condiments, then the restaurant must use these things provided by the customers to make delicious food for the customers! The premise is that customers must pay a certain amount of remuneration before providing ingredients and condiments for the restaurant to cook delicious food. If the restaurant cannot use the ingredients and condiments provided by the customer to cook delicious food that satisfies the customer, the customer will not only get back the remuneration he paid before, but also receive compensation equal to ten times the remuneration paid!
Based on such rules, diners will definitely be very tricky and they will try their best to stump Gu Zheng.
"I remember that not long after I became the successor of Tiexian, you once said that the immortal chef should be proud of using low-level ingredients to cook the highest-level delicacies! At that time, I was still thinking that this day would be far away for me, but Unexpectedly, this day has arrived without realizing it, and it has arrived in the form of a mission!" Gu Zheng said with emotion.
"Indeed, when I said this to you, I thought it was a long way off for you to reach this state. But in fact, it didn't take you even a few years! When I woke up from a deep sleep last time, I saw that you actually understood the ingredients. I am indeed very shocked by the way of improvement. Surprised, you grew up so fast! Later, after communicating with Master Tie Xian, he customized this task for you. Although this task is difficult, based on your current understanding of the way of eating, this is not the case. It's something that can't be accomplished!" Qi Ling said.
"It is indeed a challenge to use low-level ingredients to cook the highest-level deliciousness relative to the ingredients. It is also a difficult and meaningful challenge! Thinking about all kinds of strange customers, as well as all kinds of strange ingredients and accessories, it makes me endure I can’t help but feel a bit ticklish!”
Gu Zheng's voice paused, and then he smiled helplessly: "Master Tiexian, don't you want me to complete the task quickly? The setting of cooking rewards will definitely block a large number of people who are eager to try it!"
Qi Ling did not say how much the specific remuneration was, but she told Gu Zheng that the price of the remuneration would be determined based on the per capita income near the hotel. Based on Gu Zheng's understanding of weapon spirits, he was sure that this would not be a small amount!
"You are the descendant of Tie Xian. Although the task is a test of your cooking skills, you can't just order you if anyone wants to, right? It's good that you didn't set the remuneration higher! Besides, there is a limit to remuneration. It can also test you better After all, with this remuneration, diners will be more diligent when choosing ingredients and accessories. If there is no restriction on remuneration, why don't they try again and again? There is nothing to lose for them anyway? !”
Gu Zheng nodded, and then said seriously: "I have many details to ask about this mission!"
"This mission does involve a lot of details. Just ask whatever you want!" Qi Ling said.
"How to determine the success of a business? Can't the customer have the final say? If they have the final say, then it's not surprising that they would say something against their will in order to compensate!" Gu Zheng said.
"Of course we can't let them have the final say."
Following the voice of the weapon spirit, a jade sculpture with the appearance of a Taotie appeared in the ancient space.
"With this 'Psychic Jade Sculpture' given by Master Tie Xian, the diners cannot say anything against their will! However, this is a test with very high standards, and the diners' evaluation is not the only criterion for success.' The Ling Jade Carving will also detect whether your work is successful or not," Qi Ling said.
"Since the psychic jade carving will also test whether my cooking is successful, then why do I need the diners' evaluations? Wouldn't it be enough if the psychic jade carving directly tests it?" Gu Zheng asked puzzledly.
"No, if perfect food is described in terms of 'ten', most people would consider it extremely perfect if they tasted 'seven'. But for jade carvings, you need to reach 'eight' or more to be considered qualified! If the diners say that you made If it's not perfect, then you haven't even reached 'seven'. If this happens once, the entire mission will fail! If the diner says it's perfect, but the jade carving detects it as imperfect, you have three chances of being rejected by the jade carving. More than three times. Mission failed!"
Qi Ling's words made Gu Zheng more cautious, and his understanding of the details also made him more aware of the difficulty of this mission! Dividing the perfection of food on a scale of 'ten', he must reach 'eight' or above in order to be without any danger at all. This requirement can be considered harsh!
"What are the specific restrictions on the ingredients and accessories provided by diners?" Gu Zheng asked again.
"Customers can only order one dish per order. If the cooking is too simple, the psychic jade carving will remind you not to accept such business. If the business is too excessive, for example, the diners provide too many ingredients and accessories, and it is not related to the diet. If there is a conflict between the two methods, it is impossible to make delicious food with the ingredients and auxiliary materials he provides, then the psychic jade carving will also remind you that you need to reduce the ingredients or auxiliary materials. "
Qi Ling paused for a moment, and then said: "You must complete this mission, because the subsequent rewards are of great value. If you fail to complete the mission, the subsequent rewards will be nothing."
"Does it include ingredients cultivated with the power of pure faith, as well as higher-level food cultivation and cooking methods?" Gu Zheng asked.
"Yes!" The weapon spirit nodded.
"Don't worry, I will definitely complete the task!"
Although the task is very difficult, Gu Zheng is still very motivated.
This mission is called ‘Culinary Mastery’, which is a test of Gu Zheng’s cooking skills! As his time in the industry deepens, Gu Zheng has already known that the true mastery of cooking is not to rely on how many good ingredients to complete a cooking, but to be able to cook delicious food no matter what ingredients are used!
As Gu Zheng flew, he continued to ask Qi Ling about some details about this mission.
Before flying out of the Kunlun Mountains, Gu Zheng saw four black spots in the distant sky, flying towards them.
Gu Zheng did not shy away from visitors. Anyway, when he arrived at Fenglan Planet, he also needed to know more about this planet, so he could ask a few people who came here.
The four people who flew over, three old and one young, among them, the three old men's cultivations were all in the middle stage of returning to the void. As for the young man's cultivation level, he was only in the middle stage of qi transformation. He still relied on a gourd-shaped fairy weapon to fly.
"Two fellow Taoists, you are so polite!"
There was still some way to go before the four of them, and the young man among the four saluted Gu Zheng and Die Ling.
The young man looked very polite, but except for Gu Zheng, both Die Ling and the three old men on their side all frowned.
Die Ling frowned because the young man's eyes were irregular. As for the frowns of the three old men, it was because the helpless young man went up to say hello rashly and had evil intentions without knowing the other person's details.
Gu Zheng naturally saw the irregularity in the young man's eyes, and he also understood that when the young man greeted them, he was obviously attracted by Die Ling's beauty. At the same time, he also sighed in his heart, lamenting how come such a lustful 'gongzi brother' who is not afraid of death is found everywhere?
"snort!"
Die Ling looked at the young man and snorted coldly, her strange eyes seeming to look into his heart.
When he came into contact with Die Ling's eyes, the young man was stunned, as if he was out of control. His eyes were suddenly covered with lust, and he opened his mouth to reveal his true purpose.
"Shameless!"
Before the young man could say a word, Die Ling Jiaozhao took action, and the light wings suddenly appeared behind her, and a strange whirlwind suddenly enveloped the young man and his group.
The realm of Butterfly Spirit is the early stage of Demon King, but its true strength is stronger than that of ordinary cultivators in the early stage of Daluo Jinxian. Although in the plane of Fenglan Star, her cultivation level needs to be suppressed to a level equivalent to the peak of Void Return, but with such strength, coupled with the weirdness of the magic, Die Ling restrained the four opponents with one move. It's really not that difficult.
Amid the whirlwind, the resistance of the four opponents was quickly destroyed, and they all soon lost consciousness.
"Owner."
Die Ling looked at Gu Zheng with questioning eyes.
"Originally, I wanted to ask them to find out the specific situation of Fenglan Star, but since this man has dirty thoughts and you have restrained him, let's search their souls!"
Gu Zheng waved his hand, and the oldest old man among the four flew to his side, and he started searching for his soul.
Die Ling was not idle either. She liked to learn knowledge through soul searching, and she also began to capture young men to search for souls.
Gu Zheng is not a very murderous person. If the other person doesn't really deserve to die, he doesn't want to take someone's life for a trivial matter.
After searching the soul, Gu Zheng erased the experience of the other four people meeting them. In addition, as a punishment, he placed a restriction based on the black hole ability on the young man's immortal power ball! With the existence of this restriction, the young man's cultivation will stagnate for 30 years, which can be regarded as a punishment for his blasphemy against the butterfly spirit.
