Chapter 772
Upon hearing that Huang Junde wanted a top-notch immortal weapon, the weapon spirit immediately spoke angrily to Gu Zheng: "Don't give it to him, this old guy has a very good idea!"
"Don't worry, how could I give it to him? Although I don't use the halberd, and although his contribution to my entire mission is not small, asking for a top-level immortal weapon is really too much!" Gu Zheng snorted coldly.
"Yes, don't give it to him. Anyway, you have completed the mission now, and I can also tell you some mission rewards! All the resources, magical weapons and techniques that I took out as compensation this time, after you complete the mission, It's all part of your mission reward! If you want to give him the 'Sweeping Eight Desolations Halberd', you won't have it yourself!" Qi Ling said.
"Wow! I really made a fortune!"
Gu Zheng laughed in his heart. This time, in order to attract the immortal cultivators, the weapon spirit brought out a lot of things. But what he didn't expect was that these things would become part of his mission rewards.
"Huang Daoyou wants to 'sweep the Eight Desolate Halberds'. Isn't this request a bit too much?" Gu Zheng looked at Huang Junde and asked.
"Master Bai, don't worry. The reason why Huang dared to ask for the 'Sweeping Eight Desolations Halberd' like a lion is not just to help Master Bai do the last few business transactions." Huang Junde said.
"Oh? Is there anything else?" Gu Zheng frowned slightly.
"indeed."
Huang Junde's voice paused, and then he continued: "Do you, fellow Taoist Bai, still remember that Huang's bad food cultivation? Although Huang does not have the Tao Eye, Huang also knows that bad food cultivation. It can be regarded as a God-given opportunity. , in the hands of an immortal chef with a Taoist eye, it will become a super food cultivator! When we were still in the wilderness, there was a super immortal chef who wanted Huang's food cultivator, but Huang was considered a food cultivator at that time! I had no desires or requests, so I didn’t agree. But in this world, several devils dare to bully Huang, which makes Huang eager to use Master Bai's "Sweeping Eight Desolations Halberd" to avenge his shame, even though he knows that Master Bai is a super fairy chef! , and asked Yun Songtao to bring the food cultivator over, and he didn’t make a big bet, just to fulfill Master Bai’s wish! And Master Bai indeed turned the failed food cultivator into a super food cultivator! , This is exactly the result Huang hopes to see! "
Huang Junde revealed his secret and looked at Gu Zheng with pleading eyes.
After hearing what Huang Junde said, Gu Zheng was also moved in his heart. He believed that Huang Junde was not lying. At that time, he was just immersed in joy about this secret and felt that he had picked up a loophole, so he really didn't think too much about it.
"Okay, that's how it turned out. It seems I can't keep this 'Sweeping Eight Desolations Halberd'!"
Gu Zheng did not reply to Huang Junde immediately, but smiled at Qi Ling.
"Indeed, this old guy gave us a surprise!"
The weapon spirit shook his head and smiled, and then said: "Anyway, you are not short of super immortal weapons. You can give him this 'Sweeping Eight Desolations Halberd'. Not only will he help you speed up the task, but he will also give you a super food repair tool." The cooking method is given to you and allows you to understand the heart of Tao by chance! It’s worth it for so many things and peace of mind for a top-notch magical weapon!”
Even Qi Ling, who had always been stingy, said it was worth it after knowing the secret. Naturally, Gu Zheng would not be stingy.
"Thank you to Fellow Daoist Huang for making it possible. This 'Sweeping Eight Desolations Halberd' will be Fellow Daoist Huang's immortal weapon from now on!"
Gu Zheng handed the 'Sweeping Eight Desolations Halberd' to Huang Junde who thanked him profusely, and then gave him a jade slip.
"This contains some of my cooking experience and some of my homemade dishes. I hope it can be of some help to fellow Daoist Huang. Okay, my business in Fenglan Star is over. We are destined to meet again!" Gu Zhengdao.
"Huang thanked Master Bai again! I wish Master a happy journey!" Huang Junde saluted Gu Zheng.
After leaving Qidian, Gu Zheng immediately started looking for space nodes, humming a tune happily along the way.
"You've completed the mission, are you in such a good mood?" Qi Ling asked with a smile.
"Of course, not only did I test my cooking skills, but I also learned a new cooking method for super food cultivators. I awakened the heart of Tao by chance, and there are also mission rewards to be obtained. It would be weird if I was in a bad mood. !" Gu Zheng said.
"You still know that there are rewards available? I thought you had forgotten about it!" Qi Ling rolled his eyes at Gu Zheng.
"I used to urge you to get rewards, but this time it's you who are anxious." Gu Zheng laughed.
Looking at Gu Zheng's proud look, Qi Ling gritted his teeth and said, "Do you want a reward? If not, there will be none!"
"Yes, of course, why not!" Gu Zheng said.
Giving Gu Zheng a roll of his eyes again, Qi Ling said sternly: "Congratulations to the successor of Tiexian for completing the task test of 'Advanced Cooking Skills'!"
"Four fairy-grade peach trees and two holy-grade peach trees will be rewarded."
"Five hundred pieces of medium-level ingredients will be rewarded, three hundred pieces of excellent-level ingredients, one hundred pieces of high-level ingredients, four pieces of fairy-level ingredients, and two pieces of heavenly and earthly treasure-level ingredients."
"Reward twenty tribute rice, tribute wheat, tribute vegetables, and tribute birds."
"Reward for five cooking skills."
"Two hundred high-level Xianyuan Pills will be rewarded, and fifty high-level Xianyuan Pills will be rewarded."
"Reward the Taotie Statue."
"As a reward for enlightenment and cultivation."
"The rewards are 'Star Killer', Wuji Ring, Tianji Sword..."
Lights flashed in Gu Zheng's ancient space, and items from mission rewards appeared in his ancient space.
"Cool!"
Looking at the extra things in the ancient space, Gu Zheng's heart was filled with joy.
"Qi Ling, what's going on with these fairy-grade flat peaches and holy-grade flat peaches?"
Looking at the extra small peach tree in the ancient space, Gu Zheng couldn't help but ask.
Gu Zheng had also been rewarded with flat peaches when completing tasks in the past, but those flat peaches were not outstanding among high-end ingredients. Although the flat peach tree growing in the prehistoric space has not even sprouted yet, Gu Zheng can feel the great extraordinaryness from it.
"The so-called immortal flat peach trees and holy flat peach trees bear fruits that are said to be the flat peaches that ripen once in six thousand years and the flat peaches that ripen once in nine thousand years."
"ah?"
Qi Ling's words made Gu Zheng's eyes widen.
"Don't be surprised. This is just your legend. There must be a gap between the legend and the facts."
Qi Ling smiled slightly and said: "The flat peach trees grow in the flat peach orchard. The concentration of immortal energy there is higher than in your ancient space, and there are also dedicated people responsible for nurturing and taking care of it. The ripening time of the flat peaches is naturally longer than your legend. There are too many short ones, just like the fairy flat peach, which only takes six months to mature. A hundred years, the holy flat peach only lasts nine hundred years. As for the flat peach I rewarded you before, it is said to be ripe once every three thousand years. As for its real maturity time, it is only three years. Ten years, after all, its quality is not that outstanding among ordinary high-end ingredients. "
"Okay! Fairy-grade flat peaches and holy-grade flat peaches, could they be..."
Gu Zheng looked at the weapon spirit with a long voice. High-quality fairy peaches can ripen once every thirty years, but fairy-grade and holy-grade flat peaches require six hundred and nine hundred years. It's a kind of peach that makes people a little excited just thinking about it. Maybe it's coming soon.
"The Immortal Flat Peach is a fairy fruit that belongs to the level of heavenly materials and earthly treasures. As for the holy-grade flat peach, in addition to being more powerful than ordinary heavenly materials and earthly treasures, each one is full of traces of Tao!" Artifact Spirit! road.
"It is indeed like this, it is truly a blessing to the world!"
Looking at the holy flat peach tree, Gu Zheng was very emotional. Although ordinary fairy ingredients also contain traces of Tao, their effects are only outstanding among high-end ingredients, and they are still very rare. But looking back at the flat peaches in the heaven, every one of them is filled with traces of Tao. It is incredible to think about it.
"Unfortunately, it still takes a long time to mature!" Gu Zheng shook his head.
"Do you think everyone is as outrageous as you? You have only been cultivating for a few years, and you have already reached the realm of Daluo Jinxian? For a normal cultivator, having a peach tree like this will make you laugh while practicing. Wake up! As for nine hundred years, it’s really not much for them!” Qi Ling said with disdain.
Ignoring the contempt of the weapon spirit, Gu Zheng spoke again: "Speaking of which, the flat peach tree should be an extremely rare fairy fruit tree, right? How did Master Tiexian get it?"
"Master Tie Xian is a holy immortal. Although flat peach trees are extremely rare, he asked Heaven for some. How dare Heaven refuse to give them to him?" The weapon spirit said with contempt again.
Gu Zheng smiled and continued to sort out his rewards in order.
"I am only in my early 100s with high-end ingredients. Now I am rewarded with a hundred pieces at once. This is really exciting! As for these fairy ingredients full of traces of Tao, I wonder if they can bring me another opportunity. Woolen cloth?"
Gu Zheng carefully put away the immortal ingredients. Now, the number of immortal ingredients he has has reached 20. As for the ingredients that are said to be heavenly materials and earthly treasures, he already has four pieces.
"Although it is difficult to understand the traces of Tao, you are a person with deep blessings. Maybe they will really bring you opportunities!" Qi Ling said with a smile.
"The rewarded tribute rice, tribute wheat, tribute vegetables and tribute birds, they should be specially provided for heaven, right?" Gu Zheng asked.
"Yes, these are high-grade ingredients. The original growth cycle is longer, but in your ancient space, through the stimulation of you and the butterfly spirit, the growth cycle should be shortened to more than ten years." Qi Ling said.
Gu Zheng has the ability to produce food, and Die Ling also has extraordinary skills in taking care of food because he ate that strange rabbit when he was young! And although the method of improving food ingredients she mastered was not as sophisticated as Gu Zheng's, it did not conflict with Gu Zheng's. They often cooperated to promote the production of food ingredients, thereby obtaining resources more quickly.
"Speaking of Qi Ling, in the past, missions rewarded more optional cooking skills, but why are there only five optional cooking skills for such a big mission this time?" Gu Zheng asked curiously.
"These five cooking skills are not simple. They are fixed rewards and are no longer optional as before. There are four cooking skills among the five cooking skills. To put it bluntly, they help you cultivate a deeper Tao Eye!" Spiritual way.
"A deeper eye of the Tao?"
Gu Zheng's eyes widened, realizing that the Eye of Tao can see all the substances that make up the ingredients, so he never thought that the Eye of Tao was even deeper!
"That's right, the deeper eye of Tao!"
The weapon spirit paused for a moment, and then said seriously: "When the realm is not reached, you cannot see deeper things, and the same is true for the Eye of Tao. However, sometimes it is extremely difficult to break through something like the realm, unless you can Get out of the box.”
Qi Ling's words made Gu Zheng become serious: "Did Master Tiexian ask you to tell me this?"
"Not really, he just said that to me, and I just imitated his expression when he spoke." Qi Ling said.
"Then what do these words of Lord Tiexian mean?" Gu Zheng asked.
"Lord Tie Xian has not told me these things clearly. The explanations I can give you are just my guesses. The earth is a circle and Fenglan Star is a circle. Both circles belong to the small and small circles in the prehistoric world. Part of it. However, there may be another circle outside of Honghuang, or it may be just a small part of a larger circle."
When Qi Ling said this, Gu Zheng understood what she meant.
In fact, what the weapon spirit said is the same as the galaxy in the eyes of mortals, but in the eyes of mortals, the galaxies that can be known are actually only part of the prehistoric era.
For mortals, reaching the edge of known galaxies is just a dream. After all, the light-years required have reached a level that makes people feel hopeless just thinking about it. But for immortal cultivators, when going to distant galaxies, there may be a teleportation array directly connected to them, or they can shorten the distance between galaxies by traveling through black holes.
Just like Gu Zheng returned from the prehistoric era to the earth, and from the earth to the Fenglan Star, these places that in the eyes of mortals did not know that it would take tens of millions of light years to reach, for Gu Zheng, it happened in a very short time.
"There is a heaven outside the sky!"
Gu Zheng sighed in his heart. If the weapon spirit hadn't mentioned such an extremely distant thing, he wouldn't have thought about it deeply. After all, there are countless capable people in the ancient times, but this kind of topic is not common knowledge, which shows how difficult it is to get out of the circle.
"You didn't even mention the medium-level ingredients and excellent-level ingredients given to you as rewards for this mission!"
Qi Ling actually mentioned the mid-level ingredients and excellent-level ingredients that were not surprising at first. This made Gu Zheng's eyes widen!
"Could it be that these medium-level and fine-level ingredients were all brought back from outside the circle by Master Tiexian?"
Apart from this possibility, Gu Zheng can't think of anything else! After all, although the grades of those ingredients were medium to excellent, they were all ingredients that Gu Zheng had never seen before.
"It should be like this! The reason why the four cooking skills can improve your Tao Eye is only in the process of cooking these ingredients." Qi Ling said.
"I'm looking forward to it! After I have some time, I will definitely see how different the cooking process will be with ingredients from outside the circle!"
Gu Zheng paused and asked curiously: "There are five cooking skills, what is the other one?"
"Another cooking skill is related to 'Flower Youth'. When Master Tiexian originally set it as a mission reward, he knew that you had not experienced 'Flower Youth', so he wanted you to experience it after completing the mission. . But who would have thought that in this mission, you not only experienced the 'moment of youth', but also awakened the heart of Tao!" Qi Ling said with emotion.
Gu Zheng nodded and started to collect the next reward.
"Two hundred excellent-level Xianyuan Pills will be rewarded, and fifty high-level Xianyuan Pills will be rewarded. These are all good things for cooking Danyuan Food! Especially the high-level Xianyuan Pills, each one is It combines the essence of several high-end ingredients.”
Gu Zheng placed the Immortal Yuan Pill in its exclusive storage location in the prehistoric space, and then picked up the next reward.
"I didn't expect that the Taotie statue would also be awarded to me."
Looking at the exquisite jade carving in his hand, Gu Zheng couldn't laugh or cry. This small psychic object almost put him in a desperate situation during the mission.
"Don't underestimate the Taotie statue. When you have time to practice, you will intrude your spiritual thoughts into it, and you will know its benefits." Qi Ling said.
"It seems that this should be an object similar to the Jade Slip of Divine Mind."
Gu Zheng put away the Taotie statue, and then said: "I have been the successor of Taotie for so long, and among all my mission rewards, there are two rewards for food cultivation. The first time was to enlighten me on food cultivation. He made me understand I have learned the vital eye of Tao, what will I learn from this enlightenment and food cultivation? I am really looking forward to it!”
"After you answer the Earth, it will take several months to collect the power of will and pure faith. During this time, you can fully understand or practice what you are interested in." Qi Ling said .
"Yes, several months!"
Gu Zheng smiled and looked at the final reward. All of these things had attracted business for Qidian during the mission. Immortal weapons, exercises, elixirs, food ingredients, and weapon refining materials were all included.
Gu Zheng first took out the jade slips from the pile of rewards: "I thought you were just showing up, but who would have thought that you would eventually become one of my mission rewards!"
The jade slip taken by Gu Zheng recorded a very incredible skill called "Star Kill".
The test of 'Cooking Skills' was completed, and the mission rewards were generous, which made Gu Zheng smile.
Two days later, Gu Zheng found a suitable space node on Fenglan Star. After breaking through the space, he was about to return to Earth.
There are all kinds of dangers in black holes, which Gu Zheng had already experienced when he returned to Earth from prehistoric times, and the space storm in it made him experience great danger.
Endless darkness, deathly silence.
Gu Zheng in the darkness, with the faint light provided by the space-breaking fairy weapon, made him look as small as a firefly in the dark night.
It has been a day since entering the black hole. This day has been relatively peaceful. Not to mention terrifying things like space storms, Gu Zheng has never encountered even less powerful space turbulence.
However, calmness is not a good thing for Gu Zheng. In places like black holes, space turbulence is still a common thing. But in a day, he didn't encounter any space turbulence at all! This made Gu Zheng understand that a big space storm was brewing. God knows whether he will be within the range of the space storm by then.
