Chapter 885
The next day, Gu Zheng cooked a beast spirit food recipe containing heavenly materials and earthly treasures for the angry man. After taking the food recipe, the angry man, who was originally a late-stage demon king, was raised to the peak of the demon king.
The time to go to the 'Corrupt Swamp' was approaching, and Tie Xian sent a message asking Gu Zheng to go to the Palace of Fine Food.
The last time I saw Tie Xian was in Zhenhui Palace. Tie Xian was preparing for Miao Miao to advance to the Demon King Realm. This time Tie Xian sent a message to summon him, which made Gu Zheng think it was about Miao Miao.
When they arrived at the Palace of Fine Foods, after the master and apprentice chatted for a few words, Gu Zheng stepped into the topic and said, "Master's summons this time is about Miao Miao's promotion to the Demon King Realm?"
"Miao Miao has advanced to the Demon King Realm last night." Tiexian said with a smile.
"Already promoted?"
Gu Zheng's eyes widened. Although he knew that Tie Xian initially said that fifteen days would be the latest, the time that had passed now was less than half of the expected time.
"The purification of her bloodline and the transformation of her bloodline went more smoothly than expected, so a lot of time was saved." Tiexian said.
"Thank you, Master!"
Gu Zheng thanked Tiexian. Originally, he only knew that Tiexian would purify Miaomiao's bloodline, but he didn't expect that there would be blood transformation. This was undoubtedly a surprise and gift from Tiexian to him.
"This is a jade slip used to purify Miao Miao's bloodline, transform her blood, and cultivate her cooking skills. There are also some scenes of preaching to the teacher."
Tie Xian gave the jade slip to Gu Zheng, and after Gu Zheng thanked him again, he took out a box from the ancient space.
"Master, my disciple brewed some fairy wine yesterday. This is to honor the master." Gu Zheng said.
"Amazing wine?"
Tie Xian smiled: "Master has also brewed immortal wine, but every time he brewed it, the other saints tried their best to divide it up. Among them, your uncle is the most greedy, so much so that you, my disciple, came to the Palace of Fine Foods. These few times, I have never tasted the fairy wine brewed by my master.”
"After I leave the Palace of Fine Food, I will send some immortal wine to my uncle." Gu Zheng said.
Tiexian nodded and opened a jar of wine. As the aroma of wine overflowed, a look of approval appeared on his face.
"There are treasures from heaven and earth, and there are also immortal ingredients. The smell alone can make people intoxicated. What a good wine!"
Tie Xian smiled and then asked: "Disciple, what is the name of this wine?"
"Master, this is called 'Xingxu Drunk'."
Gu Zheng's voice paused, and then he said: "Master, my disciple has gained something while brewing 'Xingxu Drunk'."
Gu Zheng told Tie Xian about getting a glimmer of information.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
After listening to what Gu Zheng said, Tiexian laughed.
"Disciple, this is amazing! It seems that you are not far away from the 'two begets three' of the way of eating!" Tiexian said happily.
Gu Zheng smiled sheepishly: "Master, someone from Buddhism once asked me for a place in the Preaching Palace."
Gu Zheng told Tie Xian about the conflict between the butterfly spirit and the relic. Tie Xian nodded after listening and did not say anything more about Buddhism. He just told Gu Zheng that there must be a cause and a result. OK, Gu Zheng will definitely encounter people from the Buddhist sect.
Since Miaomiao had just advanced to the Demon King Realm yesterday and needed to stabilize his realm today, Gu Zheng only stayed in the Zhenhui Palace for one day.
The next day, Gu Zheng took Miaomiao away, went to Xuanyin Palace again, and gave Lexian some 'Xingxu Drunken', and then returned to the heaven and started to go to the 'Poisonous Swamp'.
There are four dangerous places in the prehistoric world, three of which are desert, death cloud, and poisonous swamp.
The Putrid Swamp is located at the junction of Beiju Luzhou and Xiniu Hezhou. Its area is very large.
The first reason why the Poison Swamp can be called one of the four most dangerous places in the wild is because of the special poisonous mist in the swamp. This poisonous mist has a very strong corrosive effect on the body surface protection of immortal cultivators. To a comprehensive extent, it is necessary to It's more powerful than the electric light in the 'Death Cloud'.
The poisonous swamp is divided into three parts, the periphery, the deep layer and the core. The poisonous mist that permeates these three areas is increasingly dangerous. Normally, the Golden Immortal Realm can only move on the periphery, while the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm can move in the deep layers. As for the core area, the only people who can move in it are quasi-sages.
The Corrupt Swamp was not born naturally. It was originally the three counties of Beiju Luzhou, and their names were: Silence, Purity, and Thornlessness.
During the first Chaos Tribulation, the three counties of Silence, Purity, and Wuthorn became a battlefield for the prehistoric forces to fight against those outside the circle.
The originally prosperous three counties changed their appearance due to the battle between the immortals and outside forces. The landform changed from the plains to the poisonous swamps. Even the laws have changed in this special place.
The change in the laws is another reason why the Poison Swamp is dangerous. It is said
The entire Corrupt Swamp is in a state of semi-forbidden air. Immortal cultivators cannot fly high in the swamp, and the amount of immortal power required to fly is ten times that of flying outside. Moreover, since the Corrupt Swamp is a battlefield, the space there is very weak, and space cracks may occur even without fighting. Therefore, direct space magical powers are not easy to use in that place. Once used, there may be space. Cracks will then appear, which may also allow people to enter the special space of the Shattered Void. In addition, there are many spirits in the Corrupt Swamp that have mutated due to the influence of the swamp environment. Most of the immortal cultivators who ventured to the Corrupt Swamp never returned. It is not ruled out that some of them were lost in their hands.
After leaving the heaven, Gu Zheng did not go to the Immortal Teleportation Formation. He planned to shuttle to the Corrupt Swamp using the 'Meteor to Catch the Moon'. After all, the special environment of the Corrupt Swamp determines that direct space magical powers such as 'Meteor Catching the Moon' are not safe to use there. If you don't use this rapid magical power now, you won't be able to use it for a long time in the future. .
This time Gu Zheng went to the Corrupt Swamp to look for opportunities and materials that could repair Xingxu Mountain. This was not a matter with a specific direction, and he didn't know exactly what he wanted to find in the Corrupt Swamp. somewhere. Therefore, this trip to the Corrupt Swamp is not one that can be returned in a short period of time. According to Gu Zheng's most optimistic estimate, by the time he comes back from the Corrupt Swamp, the saints' one-year vacation has ended and they will all return. I went to be busy in the 'Array of Stars in the Sky'.
In the Eight Views Palace.
Seeing Lao Tzu, Dao Xinzi bowed and asked, "I wonder what the master is calling his disciples for?"
"Dao Xinzi, it's good to go for a walk in the rotten swamp to increase your knowledge. Don't take the initiative to make enemies of others, especially ancient ones." Laozi said.
"Corrupt Swamp?"
Dao Xinzi murmured. Although he didn't understand why I suddenly asked him to go to the Rotting Swamp, but since I didn't say it clearly, he wouldn't take the initiative to ask.
"Go, I will ask your two senior brothers to go with you." I said.
In Biyou Palace.
Tongtian said to his disciple Linglong: "There may be an opportunity in the rotten swamp, and my disciple can go and have some adventures."
Somewhere in Lingshan.
"Gu Zheng has already gone to the Corrupt Swamp. Bodhisattva can leave now. Remember what the poor monk told you before."
The Buddha's voice suddenly sounded in his mind, and the Bodhisattva whose voice was transmitted by the Buddha suddenly turned into a streak of colorful light and flew towards the outside of the Lingshan Mountain.
Gu Zheng's trip to the Corrupt Swamp this time was a turmoil. Although Gu Zheng could not sense this in advance, he knew that this trip would not be peaceful because Tiexian informed him in advance.
There was green mist ahead, and it was endless as far as the eye could see on both sides. It was several hundred feet high, and it looked very spectacular. At this moment, Guzheng has reached the edge of the Corrupt Swamp.
Looking at the green mist heading towards the city, Gu Zheng thought of the Sichuan Ruins. Although the two places were different, they also had similarities. For example, when going to the Ruins of Shu, Gu Zheng means wandering around looking for ingredients. When going to the Rotting Swamp, Gu Zheng also means wandering around looking for opportunities. Neither of them has a clear goal.
I wanted to ask Qi Ling if the current situation is very similar to that of the Shu Ruins back then? But after seeing that the weapon spirit was really cultivating obediently, Gu Zheng remembered that he had asked the weapon spirit to do this. If he hadn't asked the weapon spirit to do this, when he was going to explore a new place, the weapon spirit would Ling definitely cannot concentrate on cultivation.
With a thought in Gu Zheng's mind, Miao Miao and Angry Man were released from the Chaos Tower.
"Wow, so beautiful!"
As soon as Meow came out, his eyes widened and he exclaimed. Indeed, if the toxicity of the poisonous gas is ignored, this huge green barrier is really beautiful.
Compared to Meow Meow's sensibility, Angry Man frowned slightly when he came out, obviously looking wary.
"Let's go!"
Gu Zheng led Miao Miao and Angry Man into the Corrupt Swamp.
"Sizzling la la"
A light sound came from Gu Zheng's body surface protection. This was the sound caused by the corrosive corrosion of the body surface protection.
However, for Gu Zheng and Miaomiao, the damage caused by the peripheral poisonous mist to their external protection is completely negligible! For the angry man with eighteen inner elixirs, he could not only ignore the poisonous mist on the periphery of the rotten swamp with the green poisonous elixirs in his body, but he could even absorb it.
The ground was a swamp, and it was impossible for Gu Zheng and others to walk on it even if they were aimless. They were still flying in the air.
The poisonous swamp is not only dangerous because of the poison, but also the swamp itself. In addition to the great suction power, the swamp mud also has the characteristics that spiritual thoughts cannot penetrate deeply into it. Some spirits unique to the rotten swamp often appear in the poisonous swamp. Will hide in it! Therefore, there are very few immortal cultivators who are down-to-earth when venturing into the Corrupt Swamp.
"Sir, look at the flower in front of you. Is it considered an ingredient?"
Meowth pointed to a small pure white flower blooming in the swamp.
"It is considered a low-grade medicinal material." Gu Zheng said.
"Then do you want it?" Meowth asked again.
"Okay, you are idle anyway, and your storage belt is very empty." Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"Okay!"
Miao Miao responded happily, and with a wave of his hand, a whirlwind swept the little white flower and pulled it out of the swamp.
However, it was not just the little flower that was pulled out by Meow Meow. There was also a small thing at the root of the little flower. It looked like a toad, but it had a very human-like face.
Because the divine sense could not detect it, Gu Zheng and others did not know that there was such a little thing under Xiao Hua. The little thing seemed to be sleeping before, but it was only when the meow pulled it out that it finally woke up.
"call out……"
The little thing that woke up looked very angry. It opened its mouth and spat out green water arrows at Gu Zheng and the others. The green water arrows grew in the wind and turned into three green spirits with teeth and claws.
"hiss!"
Without Gu Zheng's hands at all, the angry man opened his mouth and inhaled the three spirit bodies. The effect was like swallowing a whale. Whether it was the surrounding green mist or the three spirit bodies with teeth and claws, they were all sucked into his belly. middle.
Seeing that the angry man easily dealt with its attack, the little toad-like thing panicked. It gave up the little flower it had been holding and plunged towards the swamp below. However, even after escaping, this little toad-like thing did not give up attacking Gu Zheng and the others. It actually urinated on Gu Zheng and the others.
The toad monster looks like it's only the size of a fist, but when it urinates, it turns out to be as big as a huge wave!
"court death!"
The angry man pushed out a huge palm shadow, first suppressed all the huge waves of urine, and then caught the toad spirit before it was about to fall into the mire.
With a frown, the toad spirit grabbed by the angry man's palm immediately glared, stretched out its legs, and a demon pill was squeezed out of its mouth by the angry man.
Although the toad spirit is small, judging from the magical power it just displayed, it is powerful enough to threaten the early cultivators of the Golden Immortal. But it's a pity that the enemies it encountered were not in the early stage of Golden Immortal.
"We have just entered the Corrupt Swamp, only a mile away, and we encountered a spirit of this level. I really don't know what we will encounter if we go deeper."
The curiosity and freshness on her pretty face were gone, and Miao Miao's expression became serious.
"Danger is also an opportunity!"
The angry man licked his lips. He liked these little monsters very much, because to him, demon pills were like elixirs that could improve his cultivation! If it weren't for the fact that his current realm was already at the peak of the Demon King, no matter how much immortal energy it was, it would be useless. He would have definitely eaten the demon pill he just obtained like eating jelly beans.
"It's always good to be on guard, let's go!"
Gu Zheng smiled slightly and continued on his way with Miaomiao and Angry Man.
After flying about five miles away, Miao Miao pointed to a very strange-looking plant in the swamp and asked: "Sir, is this an ingredient?"
The plant pointed by Meow Meow has blood-red leaves, and it looks very conspicuous among the green swamp plants. Moreover, this plant is surrounded by a dense light, which makes it look very extraordinary at first glance.
"I don't know what this plant is called, but it is indeed a kind of food, and the grade is still excellent!" Gu Zheng said.
Normally, even if food can grow in a dirty and poisonous place like the Poison Swamp, the grade should not be high. However, this is not the case. Excellent and high-level ingredients can also be produced in the rotten swamp, but they are relatively rare. After all, this is an ancient battlefield and a spiritual place. There are spirits here that are not found in other places in the wilderness. Naturally, there are also ingredients that are not found in other places in the wilderness. The spirits here can mutate under the influence of the environment, and the ingredients can also produce similar mutations. Change.
As soon as Gu Zheng said it was high-quality food, Miao Miao immediately wanted to pick it.
However, just as Miao Miao's demonic wind was entangling the high-quality ingredients, a stream of mud suddenly shot out from the swamp, which dispersed Miao Miao's demonic wind.
"Bang..."
The mud rose up like a fountain, and a monster that looked like a human and a crocodile appeared in it.
When the crocodile spirit monster first appeared, it still had an arrogant aura, but when it saw Gu Zheng and the three people standing in the air, it seemed to sense danger and immediately wanted to return to the quagmire.
"It's not that easy to leave!"
Meow meowed, stretched out its hand and brushed the void, causing ripples in the air. It used the power of Tao.
The mud turned into soil in an instant, and the crocodile monster that was about to plunge into it made a loud noise when it hit its head.
The light point of spiritual thought shot out from the center of Miao Miao's eyebrows and turned into the shape of an inch-long black beast. After quickly touching the body of the crocodile monster, it became huge again in an instant! Immediately, the whole body of the crocodile spirit monster, which was originally one foot tall, began to rapidly decompose.
Miao Miao waved, and the demon pill flew out of the crocodile spirit's almost decomposed body and fell into the hands of the angry man.
"It's really annoying. There shouldn't be such a death-defying spirit under every ingredient, right?" Miao Miao said.
"Sister Miaomiao, let me pick the ingredients next time!"
Because Miao Miao followed Gu Zheng first, the angry man always called her sister.
"Okay, since these demon pills are your snacks anyway, it's up to you to deal with them. I'm only responsible for fighting the more powerful monsters!" Miao Miao said with a smile.
"Okay!" The angry man smiled naively.
Listening to the conversation between Miaomiao and Angry Man, Gu Zheng also smiled. Miaomiao and Angry Man have known each other for a long time, and they have experienced life and death together, so they are very familiar with each other. However, even though Miaomiao is now in the early stage of the Demon King, and her bloodline has been purified and transformed by Tiexian, if she really wants to fight, she may not be able to defeat the angry man at the peak of the Demon King, and Miaomiao Don’t know yet!
"Sir, is that lotus leaf-like thing in front of you an ingredient?" Miao Miao asked Gu Zheng.
"It is not considered a food ingredient. It can only be regarded as a medicinal material. The resource level has reached a special product. It is considered a specialty in the Rotous Swamp. Its name is 'Rotten Green Lotus'." Gu Zheng said.
"Sir, do you think there is a spirit under the poisonous green lotus?" Meow Meow asked again.
"It's hard to say!"
Gu Zheng paused, then continued: "The Corrupted Poison Swamp is an ancient battlefield, and there are opportunities as mentioned by the Taoist Ancestor. In the past, many cultivators came here to look for opportunities and treasures. At that time, it was difficult to see good resources outside the Corrupted Poison Swamp, and it was also difficult to encounter monsters! But now, fewer and fewer people come to the Corrupted Poison Swamp, and the growth rate of these things is very fast, so that we have not walked far here, and we have encountered them one after another."
Gu Zheng and Miaomiao flew forward slowly, and the angry man flew over at a faster speed. He wanted to pick the Corrupted Poison Green Lotus before Gu Zheng and Miaomiao came over. However, as Miaomiao worried, there was also a monster under the Corrupted Poison Green Lotus, a smaller crocodile monster.
It was not difficult to get rid of the crocodile monster, but three figures appeared in front of Gu Zheng's sight.
