This couple had been living in seclusion on an island, living a secluded life. Brother Fatty happened to recognize them by chance and pulled them over.
Their cultivation had been stuck at the same level for many years. They heard that there was a secret realm here with relatively good benefits. The key was that the risk was very low. Perhaps they could get something that could help them break through their current cultivation. They were very excited and followed Fatty Li out.
On the island, most of the topics were about the Glowing Secret Realm. Some people were showing off their previous gains, which made them even more excited. They couldn't wait to go in the next day.
In the open space behind, Gu Zheng carefully placed the freshly cooked dishes on a plate at the side. He couldn't help but ponder.
This time, he seemed to have condensed too much and wasted a lot of herbs. However, the characteristics of the food were only slightly used. In his opinion, it was a failure.
He didn't expect the process to be more difficult than he thought. He had to practice more.
Master Liu also didn't expect the other party to make such a big move. He didn't know what Gu Zheng was doing. Was he cooking or refining medicine? This new way of doing things was an eye-opener for him.
This morning, when Gu Zheng came, he asked for some fresh sea beast carcasses and took some things from the kitchen. Master Liu fulfilled all of his requests. After all, it was Deacon Ji's order.
The reactivated formation slowly returned to yesterday's appearance. However, as Gu Zheng sent a white light into the formation, countless starlight energy appeared directly above Gu Zheng's head. It was like a silver waterfall falling from the sky, passing through the void and enveloping Gu Zheng below. Peng Bo's starlight energy surged around him.
All the movements were concentrated in this small courtyard. Even Master Liu, who was in the house, would not have believed that such a magnificent scene could be so obedient if he did not see it with his own eyes. He did not feel any discomfort at all.
It was just that the other party seemed to be refining something, but in Master Liu's eyes, it looked like he was cooking something. It was so strange that Master Liu couldn't understand it. No matter what it was, all his attention was on watching, trying to understand something. How could he give up such a great opportunity?
A ball of silver light constantly flickered in the air. On the outside, there were bits and pieces of Star Force, which would occasionally surge in. Inside, there were the pieces of fresh meat that he had been given today. Gu Zheng also took out some other things that he did not recognize and added them in.
After two hours of refining, under Master Liu's expectant gaze, a lump of blackened meat was freshly taken out of the oven. From the starlight that surrounded it, it fell into the plate beside it. Master Liu didn't know if it was an illusion or not, but he could vaguely smell a burnt smell in the air.
"Master Liu, take this out and let anyone eat it." Gu Zheng woke up from his contemplation and directly called Master Liu over.
Lord Liu braced himself and walked in. As soon as he entered, he felt an immense pressure coming from the sky. He only took a few steps before he lost his balance and fell down. For someone like him who was only at the fifth rank, the pressure seemed to be a little stronger.
When Gu Zheng saw this, he quickly drew out a trace of Star Force and injected it into Master Liu's body, so that he would not be affected by the formation.
One must know that he was not even close to the edge of the formation. He was only at the periphery. If he had come in directly, he might have been crushed into powder. Fortunately, he was far away from the door.
Master Liu felt his body lighten. The pressure around him disappeared out of thin air. There was no longer a suffocating aura. He quickly stood up from his falling body and came to Gu Zheng's side. He took down the plate that was suspended in the air.
"Master Gu, there should be no problem with this, right?" Master Liu asked subconsciously. Seeing Gu Zheng say so, then this thing should be a dish. After all, he had seen some nameless fire before.
However, this thing did not have any color, smell, or taste. It was like an apprentice who had just started working. At first glance, it was boring. Who would eat this thing?
"Don't worry, there's no problem at all." Gu Zheng waved his hand. Of course, he knew what he was refining. Because he had used too many materials, although it looked inconspicuous, it was actually no different from a medicinal pill that increased one's strength.
When Master Liu heard Gu Zheng say so, he had to take it out. He thought that he would just find a random test rat. Since Master Gu said so, there should be no problem with safety.
"By the way, tell me the situation of the other party later. Try to be as detailed as possible." Suddenly, a voice came from behind, causing Master Liu's face to turn bitter.
This was great. He really had to give it to the customers outside. What if they saw him fooling them and came up to beat him up? Thinking of this, Master Liu felt goosebumps all over his body. Seeing that Lord Gu behind him was deep in thought again, he hurriedly walked into the kitchen in three steps.
"Qian Tun, I have a task for you." When he came to the kitchen, Master Liu directly called over the person who was usually the smartest. At this time, he appeared to be in his twenties. At first glance, one could tell that he was quick-witted. He was also the one with the lowest cultivation among them.
"What's the matter, Master Liu? What do I need to do?" Qian Tun, who had just come in, immediately trotted over and said when he heard Master Liu call him.
"I'll give you a good fortune. If it's done successfully, I'll take you in as my last disciple." Master Liu patted him on the shoulder and said encouragingly.
"Don't worry, Master Liu. I'll definitely do it well." Qian Tun said happily. He stuck out his chest and said confidently.
"Good. Go and deliver this dish to the customer in front. Also, note down his feelings and some of his actions and give me a gift in return." Master Liu put the dish in front of him and gave him a look that said, "I think highly of you." Then, he left and pretended to be busy.
Qian Tun looked at the pitch-black and burnt food in front of him and was immediately dumbfounded. His first reaction was that could it be eaten. Could it be that Master Liu was deliberately making fun of him?
However, after thinking about it, he felt that it was not right. Because there was no need for that. If Master Liu really wanted to make things difficult for him, there were many ways. This was very likely a test for him.
Qian Tun took a deep breath and encouraged himself in his heart. He would definitely be able to complete the mission smoothly. He tried his best not to think about the scene after those immortals became angry. They wouldn't dare to kill him here. At most, he would be beaten up. If he could complete Master Liu's mission smoothly, then his future would really be bright.
Thinking of this, Qian Tun picked up the plate in his hand and walked out confidently. This was not a big deal to him. Anyway, the worst result would not be life-threatening.
"Everyone, please take a look. This is a new dish made by a mysterious master. It's a rare opportunity. Who wants to taste it?" Suddenly, a loud voice rang out in the hall on the first floor. Everyone looked towards the direction of the voice.
They saw a person dressed like a child holding a red food box in his hand. The outside of the box was half-carved with patterns. The surface of the box was glowing with a red light and looked very exquisite. It looked very high-class.
"You should know that normally, our master basically doesn't do anything. This time, he received a request from some people and specially gave back to everyone during this period of time. Everyone, hurry up and take action."
According to the open space at the back and the tentative renovation, although he didn't go in to take a look, Qian Tun guessed that he would definitely not leave in such a short time.
As he shouted, he walked to the middle and shouted loudly, attracting almost everyone's attention. So they all looked at what was inside.
Unfortunately, this box itself could isolate everyone's divine sense, so no one knew what was inside.
However, having the opportunity to fool these immortals, a different emotion emerged in his heart. He felt that his trembling heart was stable.
"Then what's inside? What's the use of it? Is it better than these dishes? "A person looked at Qian Tun and shouted.
"Everyone, I don't know. But our master said that since it's the first thing he came back, there must be something special. I know as much as you." Looking at everyone's curiosity, Qian Tun continued to say.
"Of course, there's only one thing. Let's see who has fate with it."
After hearing this, everyone instantly lost interest. It was just some food. This was what most people thought. No matter how delicious the food was, it couldn't arouse their interest. Many people returned to the previous scene.
"This is something carefully prepared by the master. Don't you want to try it? If you pass this village, there won't be such a shop. "Seeing so many people turned their heads, Qian Tun said anxiously.
"I'm not interested in this. I'm only interested in improving my strength. It's better not to trouble the master." An immortal next to him said with a smile.
What he said was what most people were thinking. How could they still be attracted by food in their stomach? Unless there was a great effect, it would attract them.
"This is specially prepared by the master. Doesn't anyone want to try it?" Qian Tun was still saying tirelessly, but most people ignored him.
"Since no one likes it, then give it to me. I like all kinds of delicacies the most. I want to see how delicious the master's food is." Just as Qian Tun was thinking of other methods, a voice made him go wild with joy.
"Sir, let me make it clear first. Once this thing is opened, you must eat it. Otherwise, don't open it. This is what the master specially instructed me." Qian Tun placed the food box on the table of the diner. Qian Tun suppressed the excitement in his heart and said solemnly to them.
"Don't worry. No matter what, I will respect the master's work." That person looked at the excited waiter and thought that he was afraid because he was too close to him. His tone couldn't help but become softer.
Furthermore, so what if it tasted bad? He could just grit his teeth and eat it. It could not possibly be poison that would poison him to death in front of everyone. Even if he was willing, the Star Alliance would not be willing to damage their reputation.
"Okay, then I'll let you open it." Qian Tun placed the food box in front of him and retreated to the side, waiting for him to finish eating and take back the food box.
"Brother Li, are you so obsessed with food?" This table belonged to the fat brother who had just arrived. Little Su, who was beside him, looked at the fat brother with a happy face and said.
"Little Su, you don't understand. This delicacy is the best thing in the world. Without it, there is nothing in this world that is worth my nostalgia." The fat brother chuckled and couldn't wait to open the outermost lid of the box. Suddenly, the originally cheerful smile froze on his face.
Little Su saw that the fat brother's expression seemed to be a little different and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Is the master's work beyond your expectations?"
Even the scholar, who felt like an otherworldly expert, looked over curiously. He didn't know what was inside.
"See for yourself." The fat brother's face had already darkened. No one would be in a good mood when they saw a black and swarthy thing.
Qian Tun smiled apologetically at the side, but he was extremely nervous in his heart. He felt that he would fly out inexplicably in the next second and then be seriously injured.
The fat brother took out what he saw from the food box, shocking the two of them. They stared at it with their mouths agape. They didn't know what to say. This was the work of a master. Why did it seem like there was a trace of burnt smell rippling in the air?
"Pfft." The two people near the table directly burst out laughing. They couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"I was wondering what it was. So it's just two pieces of burnt barbecue."
The two of them successfully attracted everyone's attention. They looked at the charcoal-like thing on the table and couldn't help but laugh. They were glad that they didn't fall for it.
"If this is the so-called master, then doesn't that make me a great master?"
"I think it doesn't look as good as the three-year-old child in my neighbor's house."
All kinds of voices entered the fat brother's ears, causing his face to be the same color as the food in front of him. Although the fat brother wanted to sweep the food on the ground, he remembered that he had personally promised that he wouldn't waste it no matter what. How could he break his promise?
"Fellow Daoist, I think you shouldn't eat it. No one will say anything. Who knows if it's a prank?" At this time, another person advised. In everyone's eyes, this wasn't considered breaking his promise at all. Who asked this thing to be so strange?
The others also tried to persuade him. Although it was impossible for it to be poisonous, it wasn't impossible for something embarrassing to happen.
At this time, the fat brother's face was also uncertain. It wasn't that he didn't dare to eat it, but to a person who loved good food, this kind of thing was an insult to the existence of good food.
"Fat brother, let me try. To be honest, the first time I made it, it was even worse than this." Little Su reached out and took the plate of food.
The fat brother subconsciously wanted to refuse. But looking at the charcoal-like thing, he really couldn't accept it. He said gratefully, "Thank you, Little Sister Little Su. I'll remember this favor."
After Little Su pushed away her husband's hand, she picked up a small piece and sent it into her mouth.
Before it entered her mouth, a burnt smell rushed into her nose. She frowned and her hand couldn't help but pause.
"Let me do it. Don't eat it." The scholar looked at his wife with heartache. But she only shook her head at him and closed her eyes. Then, she steeled her heart and ate it in one bite. She closed her mouth tightly.
Big Brother Li brought them here. Since they encountered such a problem, she should help him. It was just some disgusting food. Of course, she wasn't afraid.
The fat brother and the others looked at such a delicate young woman who was brave enough to eat such a piece of food. They all looked at her with admiration. They didn't know how she ate it. Looking at her frowning face, it seemed that the taste was indeed disgusting.
Although the outsiders were worried about the food, Little Su overturned her previous opinion.
Before she ate it, she thought that it was really disgusting. Her whole body was prepared. But the moment it entered her mouth, the situation changed.
The initial taste was just as she imagined. The originally bitter taste came from the burnt skin. At this moment, Little Su wanted to spit the food out. Even in her most bitter time, she had never eaten something so disgusting.
However, he braced himself and continued to bite down. When his teeth pierced through the charred skin, a greasy sensation came from his teeth. He could feel the tender meat inside through his teeth.
Immediately after, a fresh fragrance came from her mouth. A trace of juice splashed out from the tender meat. It was mixed with a trace of indescribable fragrance. The texture of the tender meat made her feel as if she was in an ethereal nature.
Especially the burnt air from before. At this moment, it was like a gentle breeze that blew slowly. It greatly enhanced the feeling in her mouth.
When her teeth finally touched, Little Su was still a little reluctant to let go of that feeling. She subconsciously wriggled again.
Especially that faint fragrance. As she chewed, it became stronger. Soon, that small piece of delicious and juicy meat was devoured by her.
Little Su was even reluctant to open her mouth. She was afraid that the fragrance that filled her mouth would spread out. Because she felt that every part of her mouth was filled with that fragrance.
When it flowed down her throat and into her stomach, a warm current appeared in her body. Her whole body was warm and comfortable. Her whole body was cheering.
Little Su did not hesitate to take out another piece from below and eagerly put it into her mouth. She had already lost herself in that tranquil forest. She did not want to leave that state at all.
The surrounding people who were paying attention were all dumbfounded, including Brother Fatty. Because Little Su's expression was full of enjoyment. There was a feeling of happiness in it.
Many people could not help but think that such a black thing was so magical. Or was it that it was only ugly on the outside, but the taste inside was amazing?
Little Su's expression made it seem as if the food in front of her was a peerless delicacy. It made the surrounding people subconsciously salivate. Brother Fatty could not help but look at the remaining small piece. Should he try it?
But before he could think of anything, a pair of jade-like hands appeared again. She picked up the last piece and ate it. This time, there was no chance at all.
After Little Su had completely devoured the food, her eyes were still closed. She recalled the feeling just now. The fragrance in her mouth made her reluctant to speak.
