Chapter 921

There are traces of Tao on the ‘Cloud and Mist Vermilion Fruit’. Compared with the other immortal ingredients of Gu Zheng, the traces of Tao it has are very informative and relatively easier to make people realize Tao. Moreover, because the ‘Cloud and Mist Vermilion Fruit’ was born in space, when Gu Zheng got it, he had a feeling that the Tao represented by its traces of Tao should be the Tao of space.

Normally, if you want to comprehend the traces of Tao on ingredients, you can only do it when cooking. I have never heard of a precedent of comprehending the traces of Tao while watching ingredients. Gu Zheng had watched the ‘Cloud and Mist Vermilion Fruit’ more than once before, but naturally got nothing. But this time was different. As soon as Gu Zheng took out the ‘Cloud and Mist Vermilion Fruit’, he was immediately attracted by the dense magical patterns on it. To be able to have such a difference, one aspect was the opportunity, and the other was the higher level of the Eye of Tao.

Under the gaze of Gu Zheng's Eye of Dao, the magical lines on the original 'Cloud Vermilion Fruit' began to rotate, and its speed became faster and faster, until there was a "boom" in Gu Zheng's brain, and then he entered a mysterious realm.

In the mysterious realm, there was blue sky and white clouds, and Gu Zheng stood on the white clouds. It was very quiet here, so quiet that even the sound of the wind could not be heard.

Like the normal mysterious realm, Gu Zheng had forgotten who he was and what his purpose was. He just looked at the blue sky above his head and the white clouds under his feet curiously.

Walking and stopping in the mysterious realm, Gu Zheng seemed not to be in a hurry at all, and time passed unknowingly.

Finally, Gu Zheng stopped and he had a different idea. He wanted to see what was under the white clouds.

Do it as you think of it. Gu Zheng stomped his feet hard, and the whole person immediately fell from the white clouds.

In Gu Zheng's original idea, he didn't know what was under the white clouds, or he didn't think about it at all. However, when he really realized what was under the white clouds, fear began to spread in his heart.

Below the white clouds is the void, the endless void!

That is to say, Gu Zheng has been accelerating since he started falling, but he can't see a place to land below, so he just keeps falling.

At first, he was afraid, but when Gu Zheng found that struggling was useless, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart while falling at high speed, as if he had caught something, and he closed his eyes and began to experience the feeling of falling.

After a while, Gu Zheng opened his eyes, and with a smile on his lips, he waved his hand, and his originally falling body was fixed in the void, and the mysterious realm was shattered.

"Congratulations, Master!"

Gu Zheng had just come out of the mysterious realm, and the butterfly spirit who felt his enlightenment immediately cheered.

Gu Zheng laughed and stretched out his hand to pinch the butterfly spirit's nose. It was indeed a very pleasant thing to be able to realize the truth.

"Did the master realize the way of space this time?"

Because the butterfly spirit had heard Gu Zheng talk about the 'cloud and mist red fruit' in advance, it asked this question.

"It's the 'space ban' in the way of space!"

"Great, it's actually the 'space ban'!"

After hearing what Gu Zheng said, the butterfly spirit cheered for him.

The so-called 'space ban' is actually a ban on the air. If Gu Zheng could have this magical power earlier, he wouldn't have been passive by the air ban of the mud spirit when he was in the poisonous swamp.

After understanding the 'space ban', Gu Zheng began to cook holy fruit food.

How to use the 'cloud and mist red fruit' as the main ingredient to cook holy fruit food, the recipe in Gu Zheng's mind has actually been different with the changes in his heart of Tao and the eye of Tao. The recipe he decided to use now can be regarded as a polishing of time and realm.

In addition to the 'cloud and mist red fruit', there are five other ingredients used in cooking this holy fruit food, namely: peaches, dragon fruit, purple night fairy grass, desert blood berries, and white jade honey sticks. All six ingredients are high-level, among which desert blood berries and white jade honey sticks belong to the ingredients of the world outside the circle.

The purple night fairy grass itself has a special fragrance. Gu Zheng boiled it into soup when he started to process the ingredients.

Unlike ordinary peaches, when it is used in food cultivation, it is not necessary to remove the skin except for the peach pit.

The white jade honey strips, an out-of-circle ingredient, are actually the roots of a rare shrub. They are white as jade and contain a rich substance similar to starch. They taste sweet and long.

To process the white jade honey strips, Gu Zheng needs to dry them first, then grind them into powder and remove impurities.

After all the preparations were done, Gu Zheng took out the purple night fairy grass boiled in the clay pot and poured the boiled soup into the pot.

Like thickening, as the purple-red and slightly sticky soup was added to the pot, a wonderful fragrance became strong in the air, making people want to drool when they smelled it.

After the purple night grass soup was put into the pot, Gu Zheng first put the peaches and desert blood berries into it to boil. Under the urging of the Five Elements Immortal Art, the peaches and desert blood berries in the pot quickly melted, and the soup became more viscous while the color changed back and forth between purple and red. The different fragrances of the three ingredients also fluctuated in the air.

After a while, the food in the pot was completely integrated, and the color turned light red. After the fragrance was integrated, the sweet breath was intoxicating, and the fruity fragrance was particularly refreshing.

The cloud mist red fruit and the dragon fruit were put into the pot together by Gu Zheng. The addition of the two berries changed the color of the food in the pot and the fragrance in the air. A thick white mist had condensed on the pot, and it was about to develop towards the point of extremely fragrant transformation.

While Gu Zheng was controlling the food, he was also controlling the Jixiang from transforming into a human form, because the entire food cultivation was only 50% complete. If he could not control the Jixiang from transforming into a human form at this time, then this food cultivation would be wasted.

The last ingredient was put into the pot by Gu Zheng, which was the powder ground from white jade honey sticks. Its addition made the already sticky food cultivation in the pot even stickier.

Under the effect of immortal power, the food cultivation in the pot was turned by Gu Zheng like stirring batter, and the whole thing appeared to be a crystal reddish color.

"What a nice smell!"

Miaomiao and Die Ling, who were watching from the side, could not help but sigh at the same time.

Indeed, the sweet smell in the air at this time was the strongest of the food Gu Zheng had ever cooked. This sweet smell not only made people drool, but even cultivators who were only at the Golden Immortal Realm could be drunk for a month after smelling it. After all, this sweet smell was also a kind of Tao.

However, for Gu Zheng, the completion of the food cultivation is only 60% now. When it reaches 70%, the "momentary fragrance" will appear. After the "momentary fragrance", it will be 80%. After the food cultivation crosses the tribulation, it will be 90%. After the extreme fragrance is transformed, it will be 100%.

The "momentary fragrance" will appear when the holy fruit food cultivation is completed. This is something Gu Zheng knew when he had the recipe in his mind. For the "momentary fragrance" that will appear at that time, he naturally has a way to deal with it. Moreover, when this food cultivation is completed, the medicinal effect is stronger than the best "black hole food cultivation" he has taken.

All the substances that make up the food are clearly visible in the observation of Gu Zheng's Eye of Dao and the induction of the Heart of Dao. Several substances are like attracting each other, approaching and touching without Gu Zheng's control, and the "momentary fragrance" also appears at this moment.

"Momentary fragrance" is a relatively rare change in the way of eating. If this variable is not handled properly, the food will deteriorate. If it is handled properly, the taste of the food will also be sublimated. However, Gu Zheng, who had a way to deal with the "Momentary Beauty" this time, had already widened his eyes when the "Momentary Beauty" first appeared.

The appearance of the "Momentary Beauty" after it appeared was completely different from what Gu Zheng had deduced before, and the reason why this variable was called "Momentary Beauty" was because it bloomed only for a moment.

In a moment, Gu Zheng had no time to deduce a way to deal with it, but fortunately, his current cultivation was relatively high, and he still had a way to deal with such a very dangerous emergency.

With a thought in his mind, Gu Zheng used the Way of Time and stopped the time around him! Fortunately, Gu Zheng's current Way of Time was already intermediate. If it was still elementary, it would be impossible to suspend the food cultivation in the "Momentary Beauty".

Although the "Momentary Beauty" was different, forcing Gu Zheng to use the Way of Time, Gu Zheng's face was full of excitement. With his current realm in the Way of Food, unexpected things would happen, which could only mean that this variable came from a higher realm in the Way of Food.

With time standing still, Gu Zheng began to deduce how to solve the variables of ‘Momentary Fragrance’. As the deduction continued, the excitement on his face became more and more intense.

Finally, Gu Zheng lifted the state of time standing still, and then he handled the variables caused by ‘Momentary Fragrance’ with a smooth and flowing movement. After this stage, the food cultivator also jumped from the original 70% completion to 90% completion. Only the step of extremely fragrant transformation can reach 100%, and the stage of food cultivator’s tribulation is completely skipped!

The sweet smell in the air has reached its extreme. Miaomiao and Die Ling are swallowing saliva crazily, and even Gu Zheng feels that his saliva is endless.

"Master, why didn't the food cultivator’s tribulation appear?"

Seeing that the white mist of extremely fragrant transformation has already enveloped the food cultivator who came out of the pot, Die Ling couldn't help but be curious.

"There is no food cultivation to pass the tribulation, that's because it was replaced by 'Momentary Fragrance', and the reason why 'Momentary Fragrance' can replace food cultivation to pass the tribulation is that it is not a traditional food cultivation, but an immortal food cultivation!"

Even though Gu Zheng had experienced many storms, his voice was trembling at this time. What does immortal food cultivation mean? It means that his realm in the way of food has truly entered the 'two gives birth to three', and he has truly achieved the point of being on par with the immortals!

When Gu Zheng said that this was an immortal food cultivation, Die Ling and Miao Miao were stunned at first, and then screamed and cheered.

Listening to the screams and cheers of the two women, Gu Zheng's heart was also full of a sense of accomplishment. However, even though he has reached the realm of ‘two creates three’, Gu Zheng’s cooking skills will not improve when cooking ordinary food, because the so-called ‘two creates three’ can only be regarded as letting Gu Zheng enter a cave, rather than letting him be in the vast world outside the cave. But compared with those who have not yet entered the cave, Gu Zheng, who has already entered the cave, is at least closer to the cave exit.

“Master, tell us quickly, what is the difference between immortal food cultivation and ordinary food cultivation.” Die Ling asked curiously.

“There are many differences, and there are two obvious ones. One of them is that every immortal food cultivation is an opportunity to realize the Tao. Taking immortal food cultivation will definitely allow you to enter the mysterious realm of enlightenment!”

“Ah?”

When Gu Zheng’s voice fell, the two women couldn’t help but open their mouths wide. It was a bit too shocking to trigger the mysterious realm by food cultivation.

“Sir, what about the second point?” Meow Meow asked hurriedly.

"After taking a normal food repair, the pores of the body will open up and turn into a vortex, madly devouring energy. This energy, whether it is immortal essence or energy in a black hole, still belongs to the energy in the prehistoric world. However, the energy devoured by the immortal food repair comes from outside the circle, that is, every time you take an immortal food repair, it is an experience of cross-border plunder!"

"Ah?"

Even though they were just shocked, Miaomiao and Dieling opened their mouths again. It was hard for them to imagine how a food repair could allow people to plunder energy across boundaries.

"Sir, cross-border plunder, this, this is very far away!"

Even though he knew that what Gu Zheng said was true, Miaomiao still found it unbelievable. After all, even quasi-saints could hardly pass through the space outside the circle. How could the energy attracted by the medicinal effect of the food repair come to Gu Zheng from a distance of billions of miles?

"This is the wonder of the way of eating!"

Gu Zheng murmured, and his heart was indescribably shocked. He is now in the realm of 'two gives birth to three' in the way of eating. He has seen many things that he couldn't see before.

"Huh? How did this food cultivator become like this?"

The extremely fragrant mist had completely entered the holy fruit food cultivator at this time, and Die Ling couldn't help but exclaimed.

The holy fruit food cultivator looked like a purple-red ball after the extremely fragrant shape change. It had a thin layer of skin, so that everyone could see that it seemed to have a lot of juice inside. However, when Gu Zheng took the food cultivator out of the pot, there was not much water in the food cultivator. This was a fact that Die Ling and Miao Miao had seen with their own eyes.

"Because the 'momentary beauty' experienced by the immortal food cultivator will completely change the quality of a food cultivator! It can be said that this food cultivator now has nothing to do with the ingredients I used before. It is completely the result of the mysterious power of Tao!"

Seeing that the two women were confused, Gu Zheng explained the specific details to them again.

The Immortal Tie had said before that even for him, immortal food cultivators were something that could only be encountered by chance, and Gu Zheng could not understand this sentence at the time.

In Gu Zheng's understanding, as long as he can cook a fairy food, he can make it again with the same ingredients in the future. However, after really seeing the fairy food, Gu Zheng finally understood what it meant to encounter something that was not sought after.

The variable that led to the final appearance of the fairy food was the "momentary fragrance", and the contact of several substances that formed the "momentary fragrance" was not within Gu Zheng's expectations and control.

In Gu Zheng's understanding of the way of eating, the contact of several substances was inevitable, but the order of their contact was different from what Gu Zheng had deduced in advance, and Gu Zheng was powerless to change it, which led to a different "momentary fragrance".

With Gu Zheng's cultivation, even small substances could not be controlled. This was obviously the effect of the Tao. Their unnatural contact was also completed by the control of the Tao, and this mysterious power of the Tao came from a realm that Gu Zheng had not yet reached.

Therefore, there is what Tiexian said before, that it is hard to find something you can encounter, because it is possible to find two identical ingredients for ordinary ingredients, but it is almost impossible for a second piece of natural treasure like the ‘Cloud and Mist Vermilion Fruit’ to exist! And the substances that caused the variables of ‘Momentary Fragrance’ all came from the ‘Cloud and Mist Vermilion Fruit’.

Moreover, after Gu Zheng cooked the immortal food, he also had a kind of enlightenment in his heart. This enlightenment made him feel that even if he found all the materials for cooking the holy fruit food this time, he would not be able to cook another immortal food. Because the touch of special substances is completely caused by the mysterious power of the Tao, and the mysterious power of the Tao will appear at that time. In his enlightenment, this is simply an unrepeatable stroke of genius!

However, nothing is traceless. Even if the mysterious power of the Tao can only be regarded as a stroke of genius by Gu Zheng now, if he cooks the immortal food again by chance, Gu Zheng may have a new discovery. Moreover, since Gu Zheng cooked the immortal food, his realm had already entered the "two gives birth to three", which actually brought him some benefits. One of them was that if he could encounter the "momentary beauty" that led to the appearance of immortal food in the future, he would be able to sense the difference in advance. This was the essential difference between those who had experienced it once and those who had not.

Gu Zheng was about to start taking the immortal food, and he also had a kind of expectation in his heart, expecting that the mysterious realm triggered by it would allow him to get in touch with a more advanced way of eating.

After taking a bite, Gu Zheng sucked the sweet juice in it without having time to taste the fragrant, smooth and soft skin of the food.

"Sweet, fragrant and smooth, with a long aftertaste, I have never eaten such delicious food in my life!"

When the food was finished, Gu Zheng, who was still unsatisfied, gave the highest evaluation of food in his life.

In the past, because the food itself tasted sweet and salty, and meat and vegetables were different, Gu Zheng never said such extreme evaluations after reaching a certain level in the way of eating.

But now, he couldn't help but give the highest evaluation, because the taste of this food repair made him feel that it was not at the same level as the things he had eaten before, and there was no comparison. He never knew that there was a kind of sweetness in the world that made him want to indulge in it and never come out.

Gu Zheng's face was still full of emotion, but in fact, when he finished speaking, he had already entered the mysterious realm brought by food repair.

Blue sky and white clouds, mountains and water, grass and flowers, beasts and birds, the mysterious realm that Gu Zheng experienced this time looked like a mountain forest with few people.

Just like a normal mysterious realm, Gu Zheng, who was trapped in it, didn't know who he was, nor what he was going to do. He was just curious about everything, walking and stopping from time to time, and occasionally staring at the scenery along the way in a daze.
