The main ingredients needed to make Herbaceous Delicacy were at least ordinary ingredients. Gu Zheng had all of these ingredients, so he could make them now.
Mount Emei had a kind of Intermittent Grass as the main ingredient. Gu Zheng had brought a little of it with him. However, if he had used this ingredient before, Gu Zheng would have felt some heartache. After all, the main ingredient suitable for Herbaceous Delicacy was the Intermittent Grass. Moreover, the Emei Sect had very little stock. If they used up the Intermittent Grass, it would mean that they would not be able to make Herbaceous Delicacy in the future.
However, it was different now. Gu Zheng had no worries at all. The Intermittent Grass was gone, but the Immortal's Finger could be used as a replacement. Its main effect was in healing. Moreover, there were as many as twenty-three stalks, which was far more than the Intermittent Grass they had.
It could be said that this was an unexpected harvest and also a great harvest.
However, the most precious of these ingredients were the four Milk Ginseng. Their value was not any less than the other two ordinary ingredients.
It did not take long for Elder Wu You to pick all the treasures on the cliff and hand them over to Gu Zheng.
"It's really a blessing in disguise. Liu Qingyun created an avalanche to cut off our path of retreat. In the end, he left all these treasures, which are extremely rare to find, to us."
Gu Zheng put away the ingredients and said emotionally.
"Yes, he was in a hurry to escape. He did not even dare to look back. Otherwise, if he found out about these things, we would not be able to get them!"
Elder Wu You laughed.
Gu Zheng snorted coldly. "So what if he found out? Let's not talk about whether he knows about these things. Even if he did, he would not dare to come and pick them. The old man in white hates him to the core. The first person he wants to kill is him. He repaid kindness with enmity and dealt with us. If we join forces with the old man in white, he will not be able to escape! "
"That's true. It won't be long before we meet again. When I see Liu Qingyun again, I'll definitely teach him a lesson! "Elder Wuyou said hatefully.
Liu Qingyun wasn't that stupid. He dared to fall out with Emei for a reason, and Gu Zheng and the others already knew these reasons. Other than feeling that Gu Zheng and the others would die in the hands of the undecaying corpses, there was another very important reason. He no longer needed Gu Zheng and the others to lead the way!
Before Liu Qingyun arrived with the white-clothed old man, Elder Wuyou had already discovered that a group of people had appeared on the snowy mountain at the limit of his vision.
Only the Nangong Faction and the Taichi Sect, who had taken different routes, would appear in the depths of the Tianshan Mountain Range at this time. There was no other possibility. And before Liu Qingyun turned against the Emei Sect, he must have discovered this situation. That was why he had no worries.
As for Liu Qingyun, as long as he could find the other two sects, he would also be able to find the 1,000-year Tianshan Snow Lotus.
This time, he made the Herbal Delicacy with the same technique as the Ice Spirit Delicacy, stewing it.
However, before stewing it, some ingredients had to go through special treatment to remove the bitterness.
Other than the different uses of the food cultivation method, there was one thing in common: it was delicious.
Previously, Gu Zheng had made the elemental increasing food cultivation in the sect, but the amount was very large and there were more supplementary ingredients. In the process of the various supplementary ingredients fusing with each other, the bitterness was indeed removed, but the taste of the ingredients themselves had also decreased.
Therefore, in terms of taste, the elemental increasing food cultivation last time didn't have any amazing feeling. It only made people feel that it was delicious, had an appetite, and could be eaten. After all, some of the ingredients were authentic medicinal herbs. To be able to retain the medicinal effect of the medicinal herbs and make it taste good was already very difficult.
As for the Ice Spirit Delicacy last time, because of the different making technique and the fact that all the ingredients themselves were authentic ingredients, the taste was so delicious that it led to an extremely fragrant shape, so it was very delicious.
Although the Herbal Delicacy this time was still in the category of delicious, because of the different ingredients, it couldn't lead to an extremely fragrant shape, and the taste was also better than the previous Ice Spirit Delicacy.
The Herbal Delicacy required one main ingredient and three supplementary ingredients. The main ingredient was the Intermittent Grass, which was an authentic medicinal herb. Before using it, it had to be steamed to remove the bitterness.
As for the other two supplementary ingredients, Lu Hu's Legacy and Tendon Stretching Grass, they were also from Mount Emei's stock. They were also medicinal herbs. One needed to be roasted, and the other needed to be blanched to remove the bitterness. The only supplementary ingredient that didn't have a bitter taste was the Immortal Chicken that Gu Zheng raised in the Chaotic Space.
Those that needed to be steamed were steamed, those that needed to be roasted were roasted, those that needed to be blanched were blanched, and those that needed to be slaughtered were slaughtered. When all these ingredients were ready, Gu Zheng put them into the pot in an orderly manner.
The Fire Control Art and the Water Control Art were performed at the same time. The water in the pot boiled quickly, and the medicinal fragrance also floated out from it.
Although it was called a medicinal fragrance, it didn't make people associate it with the smell in the pharmacy. This medicinal fragrance was very special. At first, it felt elegant, but slowly, one could smell the meaty fragrance, which made people salivate.
"I've learned something new. This is the first time I've smelled a medicinal fragrance that makes me drool."
"That's right. The big pot that Sect Leader made in the sect only had a fragrance that made people want to eat it. It didn't have such a unique medicinal fragrance."
"I don't know how long it'll take. I'm already hungry from smelling it."
Although the fragrance had only been floating for about ten minutes, Elder Wuyou and the other two already felt as if they had waited for a day.
"It's done!"
Gu Zheng's voice sounded at the right time.
After removing the lid, there was a grate in the pot, and a bowl of steamed egg custard was placed on top of the grate.
First, he took out the egg custard and gave it to Elder Wuyou. Then, Gu Zheng scooped two bowls of soup and meat from the pot. Under Elder Wuyou's eager gaze, he covered the pot with the lid again.
Elder Wuchou stuttered, "Sect Leader, what about yours?"
Gu Zheng smiled. "Although it's delicious, it's still medicine! I'm not injured, and Grand Elder's injuries are fine after taking the pill, so we don't need to take any medicine. The two of you should eat it while it's hot! "
This was the first time Gu Zheng had made Herbal Delicacy. In fact, he also wanted to try it, but he had to use the ingredients sparingly. Thus, he only scooped one bowl each for Elder Wuchou and Gu An.
"Sect Leader, what's in the pot?"
Gu An asked curiously.
"It's the same as what you're drinking. A stalk of Intermittent Grass can make five servings. As for the remaining three servings in the pot, I need to stew them again in case of an emergency."
After stewing them a little more, the Herbal Delicacy with meat and soup would become just a bowl of thick soup, just like the elemental energy increasing food. Although the thick soup would reduce the taste, it could be stored for a longer time, and it would be more convenient to consume. As for the medicinal effects, they were actually the same. Stewing them again would only cause the ingredients to turn into dregs.
It was just like the pills made by Chinese medicine masters. It was just that the forms were different, the ingredients used, and the final purpose were the same.
"Sect Leader, you should eat this bowl of egg custard!"
Elder Wuyou was originally envious of the other two who could drink soup and eat meat, but after thinking about it carefully, his heart suddenly felt warm. The Sect Leader stewed a bowl of egg custard and gave it to him. If this wasn't taking care of his regret of not being able to eat meat and drink soup, what else could it be?
"You can eat it. I can't free my hands. I don't lack eggs, so it's easy for me to eat. However, whether it's egg custard or food supplements, this is the first time I've made it. You have to tell me how you feel after eating it!"
After hearing Gu Zheng's words, the three of them immediately nodded.
Gu Zheng's egg custard was very simple. Other than salt, there were no other seasonings.
However, the quality of the eggs was originally ordinary. Gu Zheng also used the fire control art to maximize the heat, and the water control art to squeeze out all the air in the eggs. As a result, this bowl of egg custard gave off a jelly-like feeling.
"Sect Leader, to be honest, in the past, whenever I smelled eggs, I would feel like vomiting. I've also eaten egg custard before. Although it doesn't have the fishy smell of raw eggs, I still don't like the taste of egg custard. However, the egg custard that Sect Leader made is very special. The color is so uniform that it feels unreal! The egg fragrance is very strong, but it doesn't make me dislike it at all. Instead, I'm eager to eat it! "
Elder Wuyou first held the egg custard and took a deep breath. Then, he used a spoon to scoop a piece into his mouth.
"Delicious!"
After swallowing a mouthful of egg custard, Elder Wuyou first said two words. However, as if he felt that it was too general, he immediately added on.
"Exquisite, mellow, and other than that, I feel that the phrase 'silky smooth at this moment' shouldn't be used on chocolate. It should be used on this bowl of egg custard!"
"Haha …" Gu Zheng chuckled.
He didn't think that the strict First Elder would use an advertising slogan. This was enough to show that this bowl of egg custard was very successful.
After the First Elder's comments, Elder Wuyou also hurriedly tasted the herbal flavor. He drank a mouthful of soup before eating a piece of chicken.
"Sect Leader, I'm not as eloquent as Senior Martial Brother. I just feel that this soup is very delicious. It's not bitter at all, and the chicken is stewed just right. The texture isn't tough, but it's not mushy either. The medicinal aroma has already seeped into the soup, giving it a unique flavor!"
Gu Zheng nodded with a smile after hearing Elder Wuyou's words. He then turned to Gu An.
Gu An was half-lying down. He couldn't even remember how many times he swallowed his saliva while the two elders tasted the delicious food. Finally, it was his turn.
Unlike Elder Wuyou, Gu An didn't drink the soup first. Instead, he picked up a piece of chicken and ate it first.
"Hmm …"
With the meat in his mouth, Gu An seemed to have forgotten his pain. He squinted his eyes and let out a nasal sound of satisfaction.
Elder Wuyou's injuries were relatively light, so he still enjoyed the herbal flavor even after eating it. Beads of sweat had only just appeared on his forehead. On the other hand, Gu An's forehead was already covered in sweat after eating a piece of chicken. His face was so red that it looked like he had drunk alcohol. Gu An, who was immersed in the delicious food, didn't notice this at all. This was a sign that the herbal flavor was already taking effect. The more serious the injury, the more obvious this external abnormality would be.
"Sect Leader, can I talk about my feelings after drinking the soup?"
Gu An finally swallowed the piece of chicken in his mouth and spoke in a serious tone.
"Sure."
Gu Zheng nodded. His heart was filled with gratification.
The first mouthful of soup was so delicious that the greedy Gu An wanted to take a few more mouthfuls before commenting on it.
However, Gu An didn't expect that when he drank the second mouthful of soup, he only dared to suck on the edge of the bowl. He didn't dare to open his mouth at all.
In fact, when the chicken entered his stomach, a warm current immediately rushed to his injured area. At that time, Gu An could clearly feel that his injured area was throbbing slightly.
After the first mouthful of soup entered his stomach, the warm current was even more powerful. It made Gu An's entire body feel comfortable, and the throbbing of his injured area became more intense.
Gu An still didn't think too much about it.
However, when the second mouthful of soup turned into a warm current and reached his injured area, not only did the throbbing of his injured area increase, but it also caused a numbing and itchy sensation. This sensation appeared so quickly and violently that Gu An felt that if he didn't keep his mouth shut, he might not be able to stop himself from making strange noises. The feeling of his body recovering rapidly was much more comfortable than a massage.
Seeing Gu An's uncomfortable expression, Gu Zheng laughed. The two elders also laughed.
"Drink the soup properly!"
Elder Wu You, who couldn't help but laugh, helped Gu An's half-lying body up. He used his inner strength on Gu An's injured area to counteract the strange sensation.
Gu An quickly drank the soup. As for the comment, he naturally didn't do it.
"Awesome!"
After consuming the herbal soup, Gu An, who originally needed Elder Wu You's help, leaped up and performed a set of fist techniques to stretch his muscles and bones. His body miraculously recovered to normal.
After that, Gu Zheng and the others didn't encounter any danger on the road.
Although they were still in a hurry, Gu Zheng managed to obtain some ingredients along the way. When they passed by a small spruce forest, they actually found a nest of inferior quality roe deer mushrooms.
Finally, Gu Zheng and the others arrived at their destination a day before the 1,000-year Tianshan Snow Lotus matured.
Normally, snow lotuses grew in the gravel below the snow line. However, the 1,000-year Tianshan Snow Lotus grew on top of the mountain. Although the snow wasn't too thick, it had already reached the calves.
When Gu Zheng and the others arrived, there were already more than thirty people at the top of the mountain.
Not all of them were from the Nangong Faction or the Taichi Sect. These two sects were also followed by other sects. The two sects couldn't shake off the others.
When they saw Gu Zheng and the others arrive, the people at the top of the mountain weren't as hostile as expected.
The two elders went over to greet their acquaintances, while Gu Zheng walked towards the 1,000-year Snow Lotus.
There was only one 1,000-year Snow Lotus here, so there was no need to worry about mistaking it. Moreover, with the 1,000-year Tianshan Snow Lotus as the center, someone had drawn a large circle with a radius of twenty meters on the ground.
Gu Zheng understood that this was a warning line drawn by the people who had arrived first to prevent extremists. Therefore, he wouldn't ask for trouble by crossing the line.
The 1,000-year Snow Lotus didn't look like an ordinary Tianshan Snow Lotus. It was as if it was carved out of white crystal. Under the sunlight, it emitted a dazzling luster. The part that was supposed to be the stamen had a sparkling and translucent snow lotus seed that looked like a yellow gemstone. Overall, this Tianshan Snow Lotus wasn't very big. It was only the size of a bowl.
"You're a disciple of the Emei Sect. Why are you so unruly?"
Although Gu Zheng didn't cross the line, an old woman with greyish white hair still walked towards him.
"What rules?"
Gu Zheng frowned slightly. The other party's clothes were embroidered with a Taichi diagram. Moreover, the color of the clothes was black. This indicated that this person was an elder of the Taichi Sect.
After becoming the Sect Leader of the Emei Sect, the two elders, Wuyou and Wuchou, had told Gu Zheng many times about the cultivation sects. Therefore, Gu Zheng had some understanding of the Taichi Sect.
"What? You're not convinced?"
The old woman didn't talk about the rules. Instead, she struck the phoenix head staff that was as tall as a person on the ground. She stared at Gu Zheng's frowning brows.
Indeed, Gu Zheng frowned because he was dissatisfied. If the so-called rules really existed, someone should have warned him when he showed his intention to approach the Snow Lotus. It wouldn't be like now. He had been watching for a long time, but in the end, an elder appeared to scold and criticize him. If this wasn't looking for trouble, then what was?
Moreover, Gu Zheng had already locked onto a name regarding the old woman's identity.
There was a ninety-nine percent chance that this person was the Great Elder of the Taichi Sect, Fang Xuemei. Fang Xuemei didn't have a good reputation among the cultivators. She was fierce and strong, and liked to bully the weak. However, her cultivation was already at the late stage of the fifth layer. Because of this, many cultivators dared to be angry with her but didn't dare to say anything.
Gu Zheng wasn't a flamboyant person. If his identity was only a disciple of the Emei Sect, then even if he was unhappy in his heart, he would still choose to endure this kind of situation. However, his identity was the Sect Leader of the Emei Sect. He represented the entire Emei Sect. Therefore, his dissatisfaction was written all over his face.
"If you speak reason, then I'll be convinced. If you don't speak reason, then why should I be convinced?" Gu Zheng frowned and asked back.
"As a junior, when an elder asks you a question, you don't salute and don't address them respectfully. What else do you have to be unconvinced about? Could it be that Wuyou and Wuchou taught you this? "
It seemed that no one had talked back to her for many years. Fang Xuemei was so angry that she laughed.
"Wuyou and Wuchou? They can't teach me! As the Sect Leader of the Emei Sect, why should I salute and address you respectfully? "
The identity of the Sect Leader was very high. Even if Fang Xuemei was an elder of the Sect Leader's generation in the Taichi Sect, the Taichi Sect and Emei Sect were just acquaintances. Gu Zheng really didn't need to salute her as an elder.
"You are the Sect Leader of the Emei Sect?" Fang Xuemei widened her eyes.
"Yes, Gu Zheng is the new Sect Leader of the Emei Sect!"
Wuyou and the others also walked over. At the same time, there were also some people who came to watch the show.
"Wuyou, your Emei Sect is really good. I just don't know how long this new Sect Leader will be in charge of the Emei Sect this time."
Fang Xuemei's expression was strange. The matter she was referring to was naturally the matter of the previous Sect Leaders of the Emei Sect.
"Hahahaha …"
The other surrounding sects also laughed. Perhaps their laughter wasn't completely ridiculing, but in the ears of the people of the Emei Sect, they all felt that it was very ear-piercing.
"You don't need to worry. Our Sect Leader will definitely be as happy as the East Sea, and live as long as the everlasting pines on the South Mountain!"
Elder Wuchou rolled his eyes at Fang Xuemei.
"Hmph."
Fang Xuemei sneered. Then, she turned her head to look at Gu Zheng and said in a strange tone, "Young people are very confident. Keep it up!"
"Don't worry, I will keep it up. I have always been very confident!"
Gu Zheng said indifferently. Fang Xuemei, who had already turned around to leave, paused. She coldly snorted and said, "You have a sharp tongue."
Fang Xuemei continued to move forward. Gu Zheng also didn't bicker with her. The people who were watching the show also gradually dispersed.
There were many places on the mountain top that could be used to rest. Gu Zheng and the others also found a place where there was no one to settle down.
"Sect Leader, you must be careful. This Fang Xuemei is the most vengeful person. Today, you made her lose face in front of everyone. Be careful that she will find an opportunity to take revenge."
Elder Wuyou's eyes revealed his worry. This Fang Xuemei was truly a narrow-minded person. Many people who were targeted by her would suffer miserably. Although she might have misgivings about Gu Zheng's identity as the Sect Leader and wouldn't dare to act too recklessly, it was always right to be careful.
Killing the Sect Leader of a sect was tantamount to forming an irreconcilable feud. Even if the Emei Sect had fallen, it was still a great sect that existed during the Flourishing Dharma Era. Moreover, it was also a branch of Shu Mountain. If they really were to fight with their lives on the line, the other sects wouldn't have it easy either. It would be a light matter if both sides suffered heavy losses.
"It's okay. I also hold a grudge. If she wants to take revenge, it's best that she directly kills me. Otherwise, I will let her know how to write regret!"
Gu Zheng coldly smiled.
"Fang Xuemei dares to harm the Sect Leader. I will fight to the death and not let her go!"
Elder Wuchou gritted his teeth. Although Gu An didn't say anything, his narrowed eyes were also staring in Fang Xuemei's direction.
"Alright, let's not talk about this Fang Xuemei. Tell me, what do you know about the situation? "Gu Zheng changed the topic.
When they just arrived at the mountain top, the two elders, Wuyou and Wuchou, went to greet acquaintances. In fact, they also went to inquire about the situation.
Gu Zheng had already seen that Deng Tianyang and Liu Qingyun were not among the people on the mountain top. As for the whereabouts of the two people, Elder Wuyou received news that the two people were still here before they arrived. However, they didn't know where they were now.
The people who came with the Nangong Faction and the Eight Trigrams School were originally much more than those who came with the Taishan Faction. However, on the way here, they also encountered some situations that led to the loss of many people. In the end, only the people in front of them were left. Among the dangers they encountered, other than the White Fox King, who was pursued by the Taishan Faction, there was also a sinister and despicable old man who repeatedly schemed against them.
The White Fox King was not dead. Two days ago, it attacked the people on the mountain top. Its target was very obvious. It was also after the 1,000-year snow lotus.
As for the old man in black, he sneak-attacked the people on the mountain top last night. He repeatedly fought alone and played with the hearts of the people on the mountain top.
However, the old man in black was different from the White Fox King. He seemed to want to obtain the mature Tianshan Snow Lotus seed. He wasn't like the White Fox King who showed a desire to obtain the unmatured 1,000-year snow lotus.
Moreover, the Tianshan Snow Lotus Seed had ripened earlier than expected. It actually ripened this afternoon!
The people who arrived at the mountain top first had already set the rules. After the 1,000-year snow lotus matured, everyone would fight for it based on their own abilities. During the process of fighting, they could fight. However, everyone was from an orthodox sect after all. Once someone obtained the 1,000-year snow lotus, there could not be any fights.
Regarding this point, Gu Zheng and the others were also clear in their hearts. This was merely a formality! The 1,000-year snow lotus this time was actually a hot potato. Having the ability to obtain it didn't mean that they had the ability to protect it.
"In that case, the people who came with the Nangong Faction and the Taishan Faction are considered a large group. As for Deng Tianyang and Liu Qingyun, it was difficult for them to integrate, so they temporarily left. "
After hearing Elder Wuyou's explanation, Gu Zheng slowly spoke.
"That's highly possible! After all, if they can't integrate and there are enemies in the dark, they might as well hide for the time being. "Elder Wuyou said.
"It's not like Liu Qingyun hasn't experienced such a disadvantage before. Aren't they afraid that the enemies in the dark will finish them off first?" Elder Wuyou asked.
"I don't know if Liu Qingyun is afraid, but Deng Tianyang definitely isn't. If he was, he wouldn't have secretly left at the beginning. Furthermore, Deng Tianyang isn't alone. When he left, he brought a total of four people. Among these four people, one of them is an Elder at the mid-fifth level, while the other three have already reached the fourth level. Deng Tianyang's group of five, together with the mid-fifth level Liu Qingyun, their overall strength far surpasses ours. Even if they encounter danger, they should be able to deal with it under normal circumstances. "
Gu Zheng paused, a hint of hatred appearing in his eyes. "Perhaps their departure has something to do with us. Standing on top of this mountain, they can see us approaching very early. Liu Qingyun's plan has failed. He knows that we won't let him off easily. Since that's the case, it's also beneficial for him to hide."
Regarding Gu Zheng's guess, Elder Wuyou and the others nodded in agreement. The four of them didn't speak for the time being.
On the surface, Gu Zheng looked calm, but as he looked at the Tianshan Snow Lotus in the distance, his heart was filled with a myriad of thoughts.
When the thousand-year Snow Lotus was about to mature, everyone would definitely surround the circle drawn on the ground. Once the thousand-year Snow Lotus matured, they would immediately begin to fight for it. During the process of fighting, it would also be the most dangerous time.
The rules set by these people on the mountain regarding the fight didn't exceed Elder Wuyou's expectations. Otherwise, the weak Emei Sect wouldn't even need to participate in this.
Although the rules were just for show, at least after the thousand-year Snow Lotus was snatched on this mountain top, under the watchful eyes of everyone, it would still play its proper role. This point was also beneficial for all the participants.
Some sects were purely trying their luck, but Emei Sect wasn't completely like this. Elder Wuyou cultivated a type of ancient martial art. This type of ancient martial art would be a very advantageous method during the fight for the thousand-year Snow Lotus. Therefore, in the plan formulated by the two elders, Elder Wuyou was the main force of Emei Sect in this fight for the thousand-year Snow Lotus. The main responsibility of the others was to be responsible for his safety when he fought for it.
Their plan was good, but they also had to consider the current environment. Elder Wuyou had ancient martial arts, but what about those big sects that were passed down from the Flourishing Era?
These sects might have some kind of ancient martial art or something like an immortal weapon. It was completely possible that they could take advantage of this fight. It was impossible for the two elders to not think of this point, but they had no way to change the current situation.
"Elders, I have to make some changes to your original plan."
Gu Zheng spoke, breaking the silence.
"Sect Leader, please speak."
When Gu Zheng said that he wanted to change the plan, the two elders, who were originally worried and sick at heart, suddenly became very expectant. Although Gu Zheng's cultivation was not high, the two elders felt that there seemed to be endless possibilities on him.
"In the fight for the thousand-year Snow Lotus, Elder Wuyou will be the second main force, and I will be the first. Your primary task is to protect me, and the fight for the thousand-year Snow Lotus is secondary. As long as I can safely get within five meters of the thousand-year Snow Lotus, and at that time, the thousand-year Snow Lotus is not in the hands of anyone, then this thousand-year Snow Lotus will be ours. However, if I am targeted and cannot get close to the thousand-year Snow Lotus, then it will depend on Elder Wu You. "
In Gu Zheng's Desolate Space, some small things could be directly sucked in. The artifact spirit could do this, but when it was sucked into the Desolate Space, it had to be within a certain distance. Moreover, the things sucked in couldn't be in the hands of others.
When Elder Wuyou and the others heard Gu Zheng's words, their heads nodded like chicks pecking at rice. The Sect Leader had indeed brought about another shock.
It was now morning, and the Tianshan Snow Lotus Seed was estimated to ripen at one o 'clock in the afternoon.
As time passed, the atmosphere on the mountaintop became more and more solemn. When it was almost noon, the practitioners who were originally scattered all over the place had all gathered outside the circle and were ready for battle. During this time, no danger occurred. The Fox Daemon King and the old man in black, who everyone was on guard against, did not appear.
Time continued to pass. When it was one o 'clock, the thousand-year Snow Lotus began to undergo very obvious changes.
The entire Snow Lotus was gently shaking. The Snow Lotus Seed was flickering, as if it was breathing, attracting the cold flow in the air.
A refreshing cold fragrance was emitted from the Snow Lotus Seed. As time passed, it became more and more intense, and the color of the Snow Lotus Seed also became darker.
"Crack."
Gu Zheng's teeth made a sound. When the Tianshan Snow Lotus Seed was about to ripen in ten minutes, he saw Deng Tianyang and Liu Qingyun.
"Hehe."
Following behind Deng Tianyang, Liu Qingyun smiled at the people of the Emei Sect who were glaring at him.
Although Gu Zheng and the others hated him to death, they did not say anything. The Tianshan Snow Lotus Seed was about to ripen, and now was not the time to start a conflict.
Among the people Deng Tianyang brought, four disciples with Level Four cultivation walked straight to the circle and stood near the Emei Sect.
As for the other Elder of the Taishan Sect, Du Feng, he and Liu Qingyun stood far away from the circle. No one knew what they were talking about in a low voice.
Deng Tianyang, who followed the disciples outside the circle, came to the Emei Sect alone.
"Can we talk in private?"
If it were not for the Giant Wolf's night attack, even if he knew that Gu Zheng was the leader of the Emei Sect, Deng Tianyang would still look for Elder Wuyou when he needed to discuss something. However, after experiencing the Giant Wolf's night attack, Gu Zheng had left a deep impression on Deng Tianyang. Therefore, in Deng Tianyang's heart, although Gu Zheng was a young man, he could already represent the entire Emei Sect.
"Sure." Gu Zheng nodded.
"Leader, I'll go with you."
Elder Wuchou stood beside Gu Zheng.
"No need."
Gu Zheng smiled and followed Deng Tianyang to the side.
"The current situation is that the other sects that followed the Eight Trigrams School and the Nangong Sect can be said to have given up fighting for the Tianshan Snow Lotus Seed and changed to assisting the other two sects. The reason behind this is very simple. Even if these sects get the Tianshan Snow Lotus Seed, I'm afraid that they won't be able to leave Tianshan safely. It's better for them to assist in exchange for benefits from the big sects. Leader Gu, do you understand what I mean? "
Deng Tianyang's tone was very tactful, and there was a smile on his face. However, the current situation he was talking about made people sigh helplessly.
"The Emei Sect is declining. This is an indisputable fact. Elder Deng's suggestion is indeed a very realistic choice. However, no matter what, the Emei Sect is still a big sect that has been passed down since the Flourishing Era. Naturally, it has its own glory and dignity. Therefore, the Emei Sect will not assist any other sect, even if we return empty-handed this time! "
Gu Zheng spoke very slowly, but he was very serious.
Deng Tianyang was stunned. He stared at Gu Zheng for a full three seconds with his eyes wide open. Only then did he shake his head.
"I thought you were a smart person, but it seems that you're worse than Wuyou and the others. Your wish is good, but the so-called glory and dignity of the Emei Sect have already been covered in dust. This layer of dust can't be blown away so easily. Be the support of the Taishan Sect! If I can get the Tianshan Snow Lotus Seed, I won't shortchange your Emei Sect in terms of benefits. I'll definitely get more than the other sects that assist you! "
"Thank you for your kindness, Elder Deng. Emei Sect really doesn't need it."
Deng Tianyang's expression was originally calm. However, after being rejected by Gu Zheng, he could no longer maintain his composure.
