After chatting for a while with the Great Elder, the Great Elder had no choice but to bid farewell to Gu Zheng. "Fellow Daoist Gu, I'll give you this token. With it, you can enter and leave the island. Although you can enter with your strength, it will be much more convenient. Let Sun Cheng and the others arrange a place for you to stay."
A white jade token flew out from the Great Elder's sleeve and turned into a white light that slowly stopped in front of Gu Zheng. The token was silver in color and was somewhat different from Sun Cheng and the others. It seemed that there were some differences.
"Thank you, Great Elder." Although Gu Zheng didn't know the use of this token, looking at Sun Cheng's astonished expression, it seemed that it wasn't something that could be obtained easily. He might as well accept it first.
"Well, if you need my help, you can come here to find me at any time. I still have some matters to attend to, so I can't chat with you."
After doing all this, the Great Elder hurriedly left because there were some urgent matters that he needed to deal with outside. It could be said that he was in charge of everything in the Star Alliance, so he had less free time.
The position of the Great Elder was rotated by various elders every thousand years. After all, there were nine elders on the island and all of them were peak Sky Immortal experts.
"Brother Gu, it seems that the Great Elder is really generous. He actually bestowed the silver token to you. You should know that he only has one chance during his term of office." At this moment, only the four of them were left in the hall. Xiangxiang and Ji Cai were whispering to each other and chuckling from time to time. It seemed that they had a very pleasant interaction.
"What's the use of this silver token? It's a little different from your golden one. "Gu Zheng took out the token again and looked at it.
"Of course, this represents that you have directly entered the core of the Star Alliance. Some places have already been opened for you. For example, you can buy some rare herbs. You should know that these things are not for sale."
"I see. Then if you want to buy something, what do you need to buy it?" Gu Zheng's heart moved. Among the things that Xiangxiang needed, she also needed some rare herbs to refine. Originally, Gu Zheng wanted to go to other places to look for them, but it was too convenient to buy them here.
This was also the reason why Gu Zheng had agreed to come to the Misty Island with Sun Cheng. The Floating Clouds Island would not sell these items at all. They were all Stage 5 treasures, and no one would casually reveal them.
However, in the hands of Heavenly Immortals, they would not be so precious. Normally, they would be concocted into various types of medicinal pills. In fact, some of the medicinal ingredients themselves had certain effects. Thus, consuming them would not be an issue.
"Contribution points are required to buy them on the island. That is, they will be given out according to the missions you complete. However, as long as you become a core disciple, you will be given some every ten years. However, the amount is too small. You can only buy one or two stalks at most. Contribution points cannot be used to trade," Sun Cheng replied. Then, he flashed the pale golden token in his hand.
"People like me are basically under the control of the deacons. I'm considered a middle-level member here, so I get more contribution points. If you need them, you can use them. After all, the things there aren't that attractive to us." Sun Cheng didn't feel the pinch at all. After all, the value of the previous Giant Beasts added together was more valuable than these. Moreover, the truly good stuff couldn't be sold just because one had contribution points. One also had to complete a certain number of missions to obtain it.
This was also one of the operating systems of the Star Alliance. It could arouse the enthusiasm of the scattered people to the greatest extent. Otherwise, if the other party wanted to withdraw, they wouldn't have opposed it.
"If I need it, I will seek your help." Gu Zheng didn't say anything definite.
If Sun Cheng and his wife hadn't clearly said that they would only stay here for ten thousand years, they would have an even higher status.
At this moment, the four of them had already left the hall. After taking a stroll around the surroundings, they quickly found a residence for Gu Zheng. In fact, as long as there was no restriction at the entrance, the courtyard would be ownerless and could be changed at any time.
"Brother Gu, you should rest first. Your pet still needs some time. Your pet is a little special. If you want to completely cure it, you will need some things. I'm afraid you can only leave it with me for the time being," Ji Cai said to Gu Zheng when they parted.
"En, I'll have to trouble you." Gu Zheng said gratefully.
"Sister Ji, goodbye." Seeing them leave, Xiangxiang Beasts waved at Ji Cai's back.
Ji Cai turned around, smiled at Xiangxiang Beasts, and also waved goodbye. Only then did she leave with Sun Cheng.
Gu Zheng entered the courtyard and activated the courtyard's restriction. A watery mist covered the entrance, informing others that there was someone here. Only Gu Zheng could live here with his token. The restriction had an expiration date and had to be activated at least once a month. Otherwise, it would return to its ownerless state.
Gu Zheng stayed here with her for the next few days and didn't go out. Xiangxiang Beasts went out to look for her Sister Ji when she was free and looked at her colored fish. She only returned at night.
However, Gu Zheng was relieved to stay here and let her go.
First, he came here to recover from his injuries. Second, he came here to carefully arrange some of the things that Xiangxiang Beasts needed to refine. Basically, the main materials were all here. However, the Hundred Colored Flame couldn't be cooked casually. He had to be careful.
Gu Zheng recalled the supplementary materials he wanted and compared them with what Xiangxiang Beasts had given him. He saw what was still missing and remembered everything in his mind.
This time's cooking actually included some alchemy techniques, but overall, it was still relying on his cooking skills to maximize the value of the colored fish.
When it came to alchemy, Gu Zheng's cooking also had something in common. Roughly speaking, alchemy involved condensing the essence of all the herbs together in proportion to maximize the efficacy of the herbs themselves.
Gu Zheng's cooking involved using some special methods to stimulate the special characteristics of some of the ingredients themselves, allowing them to maximize the value of the food.
However, the actual operation was completely different. If it was alchemy, Gu Zheng might be able to comprehend it a little. However, not to mention wasting a lot of time, he couldn't refine some special pills.
Not to mention, when cooking, he also needed some assistance. He needed to draw in the Spiritual Qi of the moonlight and the power of the stars, while supplementing the essence of the herbs. It could be said that it was very troublesome.
Even Gu Zheng wasn't sure if he could succeed in one try. However, it could be said that he only had one set of materials, especially the two things he had stolen from the Dragon Palace and the colored fish. If he lost them, he really wouldn't have a second chance.
Gu Zheng couldn't not be careful, but Gu Zheng was also a person with an extremely strong will. Even in the face of such difficulties, he still decided to cook well. He was Gokusen's successor, so how could he bow his head in the face of difficulties?
Moreover, for him, it was also a challenge. After half a month, Gu Zheng roughly calculated all the steps and finally decided to go out.
However, right now, he wanted to see what materials there were in the Star Alliance and whether he could gather them all. Then, he would consider what to do next.
First, he went to Sun Cheng's residence to take a look. No one was at home. Ji Cai had also taken Xiangxiang out to play. He had to go out to find them because he didn't know where to exchange for herbs.
Just as he walked out of the door, he saw a familiar figure rushing in from outside. Gu Zheng looked carefully. It was actually Mo Xing.
When Mo Xing saw Gu Zheng, a pleasantly surprised expression appeared on his face. He thought that he would have to slowly find him. He didn't expect to meet him directly at the door.
"Big Brother Gu, I'm late. Don't blame me. It's mainly because I was in seclusion and didn't pay attention to the notice outside. I didn't come out and immediately rushed here." Mo Xing smiled happily when he saw Gu Zheng.
"Your injuries are all healed. Congratulations." Gu Zheng said with a smile. He casually glanced at the other party's situation and knew the other party's situation.
"Haha, Big Brother Gu, where are you going? I'm very familiar with this place. What do you need my help with?" When Mo Xing saw that Gu Zheng was preparing to go out, he definitely had something to do.
"En, I was just about to find Sun Cheng and ask him to accompany me to the inner palace. I want to exchange for some herbs, but I don't know the way." Gu Zheng didn't hide anything and put away the silver medal in his hand.
"I'm here to bring you there. Why are you looking for him? But really, father is so stingy. What can you do with this silver medal? It's only a basic palace. At most, you can buy one thing. Wait for me." Mo Xing patted his chest and said to Gu Zheng immediately. Then, without waiting for Gu Zheng to reply, he ran in like a wisp of smoke.
Taking advantage of this time, Gu Zheng returned home and left a message. He told Xiang Xiang that he was going out and that she shouldn't be worried when she returned without seeing him.
After a while, Mo Xing walked out with a victorious smile on his face. He smiled proudly and said, "Alright, let's go."
That enthusiasm was as if he was doing something for him.
Gu Zheng didn't know what the other party was trying to do. But it was best if there was someone accompanying him.
"Sorry for the trouble, Young Master Mo."
"Don't call me Young Master. That's because everyone loves me. Just call me Xiao Mo." Mo Xing said hurriedly. If it was anyone else, he could still be a little arrogant. But in front of his savior, he couldn't be like this.
Mo Xing seemed to be very excited to see Gu Zheng. Along the way, he didn't stop talking. He was even more detailed than Sun Cheng. When they passed by the edge of the island, Gu Zheng could see that the number of people on the island had increased. It was obviously much more than when he came.
"This isn't because the Brilliant Light Secret Ground is about to open. Many people come here in advance. When it's about to open, the number of people will increase. Almost everyone in the vicinity will come here." Mo Xing was also very smart. When he saw Gu Zheng's gaze, he immediately explained.
"Hehe, as long as you heard this news, I knew that you would definitely come here. Seems like my intuition is very accurate." Mo Xing chuckled. Basically, no one could resist the temptation of the secret ground.
Gu Zheng didn't deny it. If he had time, he could go in and take a look himself. But there was nothing inside that attracted him. The most important thing now was to remove the seal on his body.
The two of them continued towards the inner part of the island. A few days later, after passing through a dense forest, they saw an obviously majestic hall on top of a mountain peak.
And that was where the inner hall was located. Because Young Master Mo was leading the way, they didn't encounter any obstacles. But on the way up, Gu Zheng already sensed many hidden sentries.
The security of this place was also very tight, but no one questioned him. It seemed that Young Master Mo was indeed very familiar with this place. Plus, he had a doyen father. Basically, everyone knew him.
After reaching the top of the mountain, it was obvious that a large piece of flat land had been leveled.
"Young Master Mo, I'm relieved to see that you're fine." Someone happened to pass by and saw Mo Xing.
"Big Brother Mu, I'm here to help my friend with something." Mo Xing replied.
"Alright, I won't disturb you." That person glanced at Gu Zheng and left.
Along the way, as long as someone saw Mo Xing, they would come up to greet him. And Mo Xing seemed to know almost everyone. It seemed that he was very popular. And Gu Zheng could also feel the enthusiasm.
Gu Zheng was here and heard Xiangxiang Beila speak. Everyone here seemed to be more amiable and less violent. It seemed like this was truly a beautiful place.
But it was a pity that this was the only place. How could there be so many beautiful places in the world? Most of them were deceitful. Relatively speaking, this place was already good enough. At least it gave some people a place to be at ease.
"The main hall is where the Alliance Master is. It's just that he hasn't come out for nearly a thousand years. Normally, no one would go in without orders." Mo Xing pointed to the hall on the upper level. It was the one they saw at the foot of the mountain.
The other things were all around the flat roof. Mo Xing skillfully brought Gu Zheng to a large hall that was completely black in color. The space it occupied was several times larger than usual. There was another large hall of the same scale in front of Fat Year.
At this moment, the main door of the hall was closed. What surprised Gu Zheng was that there wasn't a single guard. He wasn't afraid that someone with ulterior motives would go in.
Perhaps he knew what Gu Zheng was thinking, so he said to Gu Zheng, "Take out your token and insert it into a groove in the middle of the door."
Gu Zheng looked carefully. In the middle of the door, there was a groove. It was very inconspicuous and anyone would miss it.
"The main hall itself is engraved with a defensive array. It's impossible to enter without making a sound. As long as there's even the slightest movement, you'll be immediately surrounded by the surrounding guards. Furthermore, no one would dare to steal under the Alliance Master's nose," Mo Xing said confidently.
Gu Zheng nodded thoughtfully. He carefully inserted his token into the groove. The token glowed faintly and the entire door shone with light. Then, the light slowly gathered towards the center. Finally, there was a circular plate in mid-air. Coincidentally, his token was placed inside.
This door was different from ordinary doors. Although it appeared to be unprotected, it was in fact even more tightly guarded.
"You can take out your token now. After you take it out, we have five breaths of time to enter." Mo Xing's figure flashed and he quickly walked in. Then, he said to Gu Zheng who was outside.
Gu Zheng stretched his hand out to take out his token. He felt a strand of immortal energy being extracted from his body. Only then did he successfully take out his token. At the same time, his figure flashed and he entered.
After five breaths of time, the door behind him automatically closed.
"When you go out, just channel the immortal energy within your body into the door. That is to prevent others from taking a token that does not belong to you. You should know, this token's aura can only be used for the first time. You cannot change it, except for us," Mo Xing continued.
Gu Zheng thought about it and agreed. An organisation like the other party would definitely think of all sorts of problems. He was thinking too much. When he saw the hall, his first thought was whether or not he could sneak in.
At this moment, Gu Zheng's eyes were already attracted by the dazzling array of medicinal herbs. There were at least a few thousand of the rarer medicinal herbs here. Even the air was filled with a faint fragrance.
There was a transparent water screen outside every medicinal herb. They were arranged neatly on the shelves.
"Just stick your token on whichever one you like. However, your contribution points are not enough. You won't be able to open the barrier." As Mo Xing said that, he took out an orange token and handed it over. "Take whichever one you like. You won't be able to take much."
At this moment, Gu Zheng had already tried to take out one token. However, the second one was blocked by the sturdy barrier. It seemed like Mo Xing was right.
"You saved my life. This is really nothing." Mo Xing was afraid that Gu Zheng would reject him, so he added on.
To him, Gu Zheng had saved his life. Even if he had to exchange his entire fortune for this, he would be willing to repay him. What's more, this was just some worldly wealth.
Gu Zheng was originally a little embarrassed. However, when he saw that Mo Xing was looking down on him if he didn't take it, Gu Zheng stretched out his hand and took the token that had been suspended in the air for a long time.
There were indeed a lot of things inside. At least, Gu Zheng didn't have to worry about not having enough. After taking dozens of medicinal herbs, Gu Zheng finally walked out with satisfaction.
"Big Brother Gu, why did you take so little? There are enough contribution points inside. I asked my father for it. Use it as you wish." Mo Xing couldn't help but blurt out when he saw that Gu Zheng had returned so quickly. He thought that Gu Zheng was embarrassed.
Gu Zheng waved his hand. These things were enough. Naturally, he wouldn't take too much. He returned the token.
After Young Master Mo received the token, he swept through it like a whirlwind. Under Gu Zheng's gaze, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He took another few dozen stalks and stuffed them all into Gu Zheng's arms.
"Okay, that's more like it. Don't save it for my father. He usually doesn't need it," Mo Xing said casually. Anyway, it wasn't him, so he didn't feel any heartache.
Gu Zheng could only accept it all. However, he remembered Mo Xing's straightforwardness.
"Do you still need it? There are some things that have just been upgraded, including some magic treasures. "The two of them came out and Young Master Mo asked Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng quickly said that he didn't need it. Looking at his attitude, it seemed that he could ask for anything. He wasn't such a greedy person. Besides, the other party had already given him so much.
"Okay," Mo Xing said regretfully. He almost made Gu Zheng go back on his words and take some magic treasures.
"As long as I help Xiang Xiang refine the Hundred Colored Flame, I will be able to get a water attribute material. Then, I will reach the Jin Xian stage. These things are useless to me." Gu Zheng warned himself in his heart. He took a few deep breaths and suppressed the greed that had just risen in his heart.
He had no choice. He had already forgotten what it was like to be poor. When he suddenly saw so many things that he could take as he wished, he almost couldn't resist the temptation.
The two of them went back along the road. A few days later, Mo Xing reluctantly parted ways with Gu Zheng. He said that if he needed anything in the future, he should look for him and not be polite.
Gu Zheng let out a sigh of relief. His enthusiasm really made Gu Zheng feel a little unnatural. He made up his mind. Unless he really needed something, Gu Zheng wouldn't look for him even if he was beaten to death.
Looking at Mo Xing's departing figure, Gu Zheng didn't know how Xiang Xiang was doing after not coming back for so many days. Thinking of this, he quickened his pace.
