When Xuan Qizi saw Gu Zheng, Gu Zheng was still cultivating in his room. In fact, Gu Zheng was not cultivating. He was just pretending to wait for Xuan Qizi's arrival.
Xuan Qizi was also wearing a green Taoist robe. His hair and beard were all white. He had a kind smile on his face. This was the second time Gu Zheng had seen Xuan Qizi. The first time was in the Shu Ruins, when the shadow crippled the Blood-feathered Sparrow with one palm.
"Greetings, Grand Elder!"
Gu Zheng hurriedly stood up and bowed.
Xuan Qizi smiled and gestured for Gu Zheng to sit down.
"Not bad. You are very lucky to be able to be taught by a strange person at such a young age. In the Shu Ruins, you were not afraid of difficulties. You accepted the mission of hunting down the blood soul and successfully killed it. This is very good, and I am very gratified. Our Shu Mountain still has a good disciple who can shoulder the heavy burden! "Xuan Qizi said with emotion.
"Thank you, Grand Elder. Since ancient times, good and evil have never coexisted. Moreover, it was to deal with a demon like the Blood Soul! Under such circumstances, it was my duty to accept the mission! "Gu Zheng said seriously.
Xuan Qizi nodded and then said, "I won't mention the unpleasant things that happened. I promise you the promise you want. I hope you don't take some things to heart. Emei is from Mount Shu after all."
"Thank you, Grand Elder. Don't worry, I am not that stingy." Gu Zheng said solemnly.
"Very good."
Xuan Qizi patted Gu Zheng's shoulder lovingly. "Now let's get down to business! From today onwards, you will only stay in Shu Mountain for five days. After the third day, you will start to help Shu Mountain with food cultivation. However, from what Dan Yangzi told me, there is only one food cultivation that needs your help. So you will only stay for one day at most. If you want to go back to Emei, you can go back earlier. "
Xuan Qizi did not say that he got the information from Han Songzi. He wanted to give Gu Zheng the impression that Han Songzi had been punished to reflect on his mistakes. As for taking the initiative to shorten the time for food cultivation, it was to give Gu Zheng a sense of security.
Gu Zheng nodded and said, "Indeed, it only takes a day. Wind Spirit Food Cultivation, Ice Spirit Food Cultivation, Iron Armor Food Cultivation, Fire Spirit Food Cultivation, and Grass Spirit Food Cultivation are all useless now. After all, they can't be stored for a long time like immortal pills. If you need these ingredients in the future, all you have to do is send someone to find me in the outside world with the ingredients, and I'll make them for Shushan. "
"Alright."
Xuan Qizi smiled. Before he could ask, Gu Zheng took the initiative to speak.
Although the few food cultivation methods that can make Sora and the white cat stay in Shu Mountain are useful to immortal cultivators, I am not an immortal cultivator yet, so I can't do it for Shu Mountain. On this point, Shushan can only wait! "
"However, during my conversation with my master, he told me that among the food cultivation methods, there is one called the 'Immortal Fruit Food Cultivation'. Its effects are very good. If the Grand Elder is interested in this food cultivation method, please remember to leave some immortal fruits for it."
In Gu Zheng's' fabrications', there were several food cultivation methods suitable for Immortal Cultivators. His master had only mentioned them to him, saying that when he reached the Immortal Cultivator realm, he would tell him how to make these food cultivation methods. Normally, food cultivators would have a list of ingredients that Gu Zheng had made up. However, the food cultivators that were suitable for Immortal Cultivators did not even have names. After all, Gu Zheng did not know which food cultivation methods would be suitable for cultivators in the future. He had to be able to cover up his lies.
"Of course."
Xuan Qizi nodded. Gu Zheng spoke again, "Then three days later, the only food cultivation method left is to increase one's energy cultivation."
Gu Zheng had done it in Emei. He had improved the strength of the Emei disciples. As for the food that Gu Zheng had created, it was not only useful for Shushan disciples, but it was also useful for immortal cultivators.
"I am looking forward to the food cultivation method you make! When there was an Immortal Chef, I did not get to taste any of his food! "Xuan Qizi sighed.
"Food cultivation is different from food. I can guarantee that food is delicious, but food cultivation is not." Gu Zheng smiled.
"I know."
Xuan Qizi nodded, then changed the topic. "I have a question. Can your food cultivation method really cure the loss of pure Yin energy?"
"No. When I treated Luo Xiao, I used an Evil Expelling Spirit Pill."
Gu Zheng had used an Immortal Dew Pill to treat Luo Xiao. However, the Immortal Dew Pill was an immortal pill. It could not be exposed. Therefore, in the story he had made up, he had used a very rare Evil Expelling Spirit Pill that was specially used for some difficult and complicated diseases. Xuan Qizi must have known this story. However, he had asked the obvious. There must be a purpose.
"You have taken a lot of resources from the Spirit Sword Sect!" Xuan Qizi said with a faint smile.
"Who told them to be so bad!" Gu Zheng scratched his head and smiled.
Xuan Qizi did not say anything about the Spirit Sword Sect being taken advantage of. He changed the topic. "You helped Shu Mountain become a food cultivation method. Don't tell me you want to take advantage of Shu Mountain?"
Sure enough, Xuan Qizi's purpose was revealed. He had used the incident of treating Luo Xiao to lead to the question of whether he would be taken advantage of.
"No!"
Guzheng's voice was very certain. She then asked, "Great Elder, you already know the rules of my food cultivation, right?"
Besides wanting to protect himself, Gu Zheng naturally wanted to make a profit by exposing the food cultivation method. He had made up a list of ingredients for the food cultivation method. That was, the number of main ingredients and auxiliary ingredients needed. This way, he could take advantage of the situation. Even if he could not take advantage of it this time, he must take advantage of it next time, and the time after that.
"I know. Your master has set a rule. Every time you make a food cultivation method for others, you have to collect a certain amount of resources as a fee. In addition, when you make a food cultivation method, no one is allowed to watch. If you break this rule, your master will take back everything he gave you. "
Xuan Qizi's voice paused, as if he had made a decision. "As the saying goes, 'Master's orders are difficult'. It is understandable that you want to follow the rules set by your master. However, in terms of the fee, I hope you can give a good discount on the account that Emei Sect is from Shu Mountain."
"Great Elder, don't worry. I'm not a bad person. If I were, I wouldn't have sent Luo Xiao back for treatment, and I wouldn't have exposed the herbivorous food cultivation method and the fire spirit food cultivation method in the crypt."
"Since I've been exposed, I've already planned to share these things with Shu Mountain. After all, I always think that Emei Sect is from Shu Mountain. Even if their bones are broken, they are still connected to Shu Mountain! However, I also understand the principle that a man's wealth is his own ruin. Naturally, there are things that I'm worried and afraid of affecting me, so I can't decide when is the best time to say it. "
"Moreover, Great Elder is so polite to me. How can I not appreciate your kindness and do something that will cheat Shu Mountain?"
"Master's original rule was that every time you make a food cultivation method, you have to collect more than 20% of the materials used for the food cultivation method. The rule was set by master, but there are loopholes. After all, master didn't say it was a definite rule, only a suggestion! "
"I promise you, Great Elder, that if I make a food cultivation method for Shu Mountain, I'll only take 5% of the materials used as a fee. This will never change!"
Gu Zheng patted his chest. His eyes were filled with the spirit of loyalty. However, who would have thought that while he was earning 5% from the fees, the list of ingredients for each type of food cultivator had been falsified by two to three times!
The huge fluctuation from one to three times was due to the effect of food cultivation methods. Some medicinal pills could also have the same effect. If the price was too high, it would be better to refine medicinal pills.
However, some of the more obscure food cultivation methods had almost no medicinal pills with similar effects. For example, the Wind Speed Food Cultivation and the Iron Armor Food Cultivation. The degree of falsification by Gu Zheng of the ingredients list for these kinds of food cultivation methods was naturally high.
"Good!"
Xuan Qizi praised Gu Zheng, his eyes full of gratification. Originally, he thought that Gu Zheng's willingness to reduce by 5% was normal, and his willingness to reduce by 10% was a surprise. But now, 15% was undoubtedly a huge surprise!
"Also, to show my sincerity, I'll make an exception this time, and let Grand Elder watch the process of me making the food cultivation method. Also, Grand Elder can be a witness. I don't have the materials from Black Shu Mountain, so I'll do as I should! But in the future, when I make food cultivation methods, I can't make an exception and let others watch. After all, disobeying master's orders will not only make my conscience hurt, but also make me worry about the consequences if my master finds out! "
If Gu Zheng wanted Black Shu Mountain's materials, he had to make Shu Mountain believe that he wouldn't cheat! Although the list of ingredients had already been 'compiled', Shu Mountain still couldn't help but worry about handing over a large pile of materials to one person and letting him handle it. If they were in this state of worry for a long time, who knew what would happen one day?
In front of Xuan Qizi, Gu Zheng wanted to gain the other party's trust, and thus achieve the goal of eliminating his worries. Under such circumstances, Gu Zheng had used the ingredients in the list to make a food cultivation method in front of him. Naturally, he wouldn't have to worry about being cheated. After all, he had already seen how many ingredients Gu Zheng used to make a food cultivation method. There was no need to be afraid that the next time Gu Zheng made this kind of food cultivation method, there would be too suspicious changes in the ingredients.
"Gu Zheng, this, this isn't very good, is it?"
Even though Xuan Qizi was old and experienced, but under the premise of believing in the fabricated facts, he was moved by Gu Zheng's frankness. He was so moved that his words were unnatural! After all, Gu Zheng's way of showing his sincerity required him to bear a great risk.
Moreover, Xuan Qizi was affected by the fabricated story. Although he really wanted to see Gu Zheng make a food cultivation method, he knew that it was too much to ask, and had long given up in his heart. But now that Gu Zheng took the initiative to say it, it really surprised and delighted him!
"There's nothing wrong with it!" Gu Zheng said seriously.
"Good, in that case, I, Xuan Qizi, promise you that you will make a food cultivation method in front of outsiders, and no one will leak it!"
Xuan Qizi's solemn voice paused, and then he said sincerely, "Little Zheng, I'm sure you know that a sect isn't that easy to manage. Sometimes, if you can shut the mouths of the people in the sect, it will save a lot of trouble."
At first, he only called him 'you', then he was moved to call Gu Zheng's name, and now he was moved to call him 'relative'. Gu Zheng's weight in Xuan Qizi's eyes, and Xuan Qizi's attitude towards him, increased with the change of name!
Fortunately, Xuan Qizi was moved, and didn't call Gu Zheng 'Zheng', 'Zheng', 'Zheng', and so on. Otherwise, Gu Zheng would have goosebumps all over his body.
Looking at the way Xuan Qizi looked at him as if he was a junior, Gu Zheng nodded, "If Grand Elder has any requests, please tell me!"
"Little Zheng, if you believe me, three days later when you make a food cultivation, let us Grand Elders watch together. Since you let me watch, I will also tell them that I saw you make a food cultivation method in front of them. Even if there are more people watching, my promise to you is still valid! Furthermore, the food cultivation that you are going to do three days later, apart from the elemental energy increase food cultivation, there will be five other types of food cultivation. I need to use this matter to make the other grand elders, other than myself, believe in you! "
Xuan Qizi said sincerely, and his so-called request was exactly what Gu Zheng wanted.
Gu Zheng thought for a moment, "I still say the same thing, I believe Grand Elder. Let's do as Grand Elder says!"
"Very good."
Xuan Qizi looked at Gu Zheng with satisfaction, and took out two small boxes, "Take these two pills. Consider it a greeting gift from an elder to a junior like you!"
After Gu Zheng took the boxes and thanked him, he chatted with Xuan Qizi for a while, and then Xuan Qizi got up to leave.
Xuan Qizi gave Gu Zheng two pills. One of them was the 'Exorcism Spiritual Pill' that Gu Zheng had 'fabricated', and the other was a high-grade healing pill, the 'Shengyuan Golden Pill'.
Although the Shengyuan Golden Pill wasn't an immortal pill, it wasn't much worse than an immortal pill in terms of healing. At the very least, it had the effect of regrowing a severed limb. This alone was very powerful. After all, even a mid-grade herbivore cultivation method couldn't do this.
After Xuan Qizi left, Gu Zheng let out a long sigh in his heart.
To Gu Zheng, the danger he encountered in Shushan this time was comparable to killing the Blood Soul in the crypt!
Killing the Blood Soul was a life-threatening crisis. This time, the crisis in Mount Shu could have killed him, or he could have been imprisoned for life! If the weapon spirit hadn't contributed her precious' Spiritual Thought Pill ', the consequences of the crisis would have been unimaginable!
Moreover, the life-threatening crisis in killing the Blood Soul didn't last too long, and the torture of fear was only a little short. But the crisis in Mount Shu had already started when he was told to go to the main hall. It didn't really end until he had finished talking with Xuan Qizi! During this period, Gu Zheng's heart was almost always in a tight knot. No matter how perfect the 'fabrication' was, he was still worried about variables!
Death or imprisonment wasn't scary. What was scary was waiting for the unknown, the suffering he had to endure, and all kinds of uncontrollable analysis. This was the most f * cking torturous thing!
"The crisis in Mount Shu is over. Although the process was very torturous, it's undeniable that it was a rare experience for the state of mind. In fact, you should be proud. Who else could be like you, playing the cultivators in circles in your current realm? There were even cultivators of the Divine Transformation and Void Return stage among them! "
The voice of the weapon spirit sounded in Gu Zheng's mind.
"This is all thanks to the Spiritual Thought Pill you gave me. Otherwise, the crisis this time would have been unimaginable. However, although the crisis in Mount Shu is over, there is still another troublesome thing waiting for us! "Gu Zheng frowned.
"What's the other troublesome thing? Is it about the food cultivation for Mount Shu? "asked the weapon spirit.
"No, I've made these kinds of food cultivation. After Gokusen's Spell reached the third level, I can feel the minute things in the ingredients. Plus, I know the ingredients well, and the food cultivation I made for them is of the lowest level, the quality of the ingredients is high, and the quantity is large. So, even if I don't use my Divine Power, I can still make low-grade food cultivation."
Gu Zheng's voice was very confident, but the weapon spirit didn't refute him. After all, he was telling the truth.
Gu Zheng had always been growing, and his cooking skills were the same. Even if he didn't use immortal techniques such as the Fire Controlling Art and the Water Controlling Art, he could still make delicious food! The more important reason was the accumulation of experience, the improvement of cultivation, and the understanding of ingredients.
"You know about the crisis I'm talking about. Fortunately, Mount Shu didn't 'lead' the disciples of the Emei Sect this time. Otherwise, the matter of the Chaos Pagoda would be exposed, and dealing with this matter would be more troublesome!"
"There are too many disciples of the Emei Sect who have benefited from the Chaos Pagoda. I can't 'lead' them one by one. After all, they still have to continue to benefit from the Chaos Pagoda. But since I want Mount Shu to trust me, I have to tell Mount Shu about the Chaos Pagoda as soon as possible. "
"However, telling Mount Shu isn't the same as telling them everything. This also needs to be 'fabricated'. Similarly, I have to get them to provide me with cultivation resources. As for how to do this, I still have to ask Jiaojiao when I go back and have a deeper understanding of the Chaos Pagoda. "
Jiaojiao could actually stay in Gu Zheng's mind, but after all, taking care of one child was tiring enough. Gu Zheng didn't want to take care of two. Moreover, when the Chaos Pagoda was opened, it still needed Jiaojiao's maintenance. Therefore, Gu Zheng had let Jiaojiao continue to stay in the Chaos Pagoda a long time ago.
"Gu Zheng, to be honest, you're really scheming! When I gave you the Spiritual Perception Pill, I only felt that it was suitable for you. It could allow you to 'weave' a story about Luo Xiao, who you don't like. It could also allow you to modify the memories of Chu Xiaochen, who has seen your secret. "
"As for you taking the opportunity to solve the crisis of mistrust in Mount Shu, although I thought about it, it was just a thought. I didn't expect that not only did you consider it thoroughly, you even took the opportunity to make Mount Shu Sect your resource provider. This is a beautiful move! Now, I think more and more highly of you! "The weapon spirit laughed happily.
"I'm really scheming? Are you praising me or insulting me? "Gu Zheng was speechless.
"Think about it yourself."
The Artifact Spirit laughed heartily and then fell silent.
Gu Zheng didn't say anything else. He sat down cross-legged and enjoyed the hard-won peace after the storm.
No matter what, it was a good thing that he had gained the trust of Mount Shu! Even if Gu Zheng had left some small tails in other places, as long as he was not under the noses of these people from Mount Shu, he would have a way to deal with them.
In the afternoon, people from Mount Shu Sect came early to inform Gu Zheng that he was going to prepare the banquet.
The banquet was held in the banquet hall of Mount Shu Sect. The place Gu Zheng was going to was naturally the kitchen of Mount Shu Sect.
At this banquet, not all the dishes needed to be cooked by Gu Zheng. After all, there were many people attending the banquet. If Gu Zheng were to cook alone, he would definitely be busy to death. Therefore, the original chefs of Mount Shu would cook some dishes that were decorated with green leaves. The real bright red flowers needed to be completed by Gu Zheng.
When Gu Zheng entered the kitchen, the chefs of Shushan were already making preparations. Those who needed to choose the vegetables were choosing the vegetables, while those who needed to cut the vegetables were cutting the vegetables.
"Sect Leader Gu, this is the list of dishes for this banquet. See what dishes you want to cook and how much you want to cook. I will ask someone to assist you."
Deacon Hu, who was in charge of the kitchen, handed the list of dishes to Gu Zheng.
"There are too many people attending the banquet. There are a total of 30 tables. If you cook too much, even if there is a way to keep the dishes warm, it will still affect the taste of the dishes because it will take too long. How about this, I will only cook one dish and one soup per table! As for the ingredients I need, they are … "
Gu Zheng used his finger to point out the ingredients he needed. Deacon Hu memorized them one by one and immediately asked someone to prepare them.
"Sect Leader Gu, looking at the things you have ordered, the soup you want to make should be 'Mushroom Soup'. The dish you want to cook should be 'Fried Pork with Sour Bamboo Shoots'."
While Gu Zheng was looking at the list of ingredients, there were two other chefs of Mount Shu Sect beside him besides Deacon Hu. The person who spoke at this time was one of the two. He was chubby and had the style of a chef.
"Sect Leader Gu, his name is Chen San. He is one of the two chefs in our Mount Shu Sect kitchen."
Deacon Hu pointed at the chubby Chen San and then pointed at another tall and thin chef. "He's called Shi Jian. He's another chef in our Shushan kitchen."
After listening to Deacon Hu's introduction, Gu Zheng smiled at Chen San. "Chef Chen has good eyesight!"
"Sect Master Gu, I've heard that you're very good at cooking. The two of us have been chefs for most of our lives. I wonder if we can compare notes with Sect Master Gu today?" The tall and thin stone cook also spoke up.
Mount Shu's kitchen had always been Shi Jian's and Chen San's territory. They were both chefs and cultivators, but their cultivation levels were only in the late third level. The two of them had been in charge of countless banquets in Mount Shu. However, today's banquet in Mount Shu's ruins had actually involved Gu Zheng, which made them feel a little uncomfortable.
Gu Zheng was a sect leader. No matter what others said about his cooking, Chen San and Shi Jian did not take him seriously. They felt that in terms of cultivation level, they were inferior to Gu Zheng. However, in terms of cooking skills, they were definitely above Gu Zheng!
"Shi Jian, what are you talking about?"
Deacon Hu glared fiercely at Shi Jian. In fact, he did not believe that Gu Zheng's cooking skills were that good. However, he could not let Shi Jian challenge Gu Zheng! After all, Gu Zheng was a chef personally appointed by the sect leader. If he lost to Shi Jian, it would not only be a slap to Gu Zheng's face.
"Deacon Hu, it's fine!"
Gu Zheng smiled. Shi Jian's increased competitiveness made him feel a little itchy.
"Sect Leader Gu, isn't this inappropriate?" Deacon Hu said awkwardly.
"There's nothing inappropriate. If Sect Leader Qin blames us, I will explain it to him."
Since Gu Zheng had said so, Deacon Hu could only reluctantly agree. Chen San, who had been waiting for Deacon Hu to agree, immediately said happily, "Sect Leader Gu, can you count me in for the exchange?"
Gu Zheng nodded and said, "Sure. How do you want to exchange pointers?"
"Looking at Sect Leader Gu's choice of ingredients, you didn't use any supplementary ingredients at all. Spices such as scallions, ginger, garlic, etc. Then you should want to highlight the taste of the ingredients themselves. It's undeniable that it will be more difficult to make a dish like this. However, since Sect Leader Gu has made this choice, he must be very confident in his cooking skills.
"I won't hide it from Sect Leader Gu. I'm not good at this kind of cooking method. The method I'm good at requires some spices that Sect Leader Gu doesn't use, which are all the ingredients on the list.
"As for how we'll exchange pointers, I want to use the same main ingredients as Sect Leader Gu to make the same dish as Sect Leader Gu! However, I will use some spices and the like as supplementary ingredients. Let's compare the taste of the 'mushroom soup' with the regular ingredients. How about that? "
As soon as Shi Jian finished speaking, Gu Zheng nodded in agreement. Chen San also immediately spoke up.
"My thoughts are the same as Shi Jian's. Since he chose the 'mushroom soup', then I'll choose the 'fried pork with sour bamboo shoots'! However, among the ingredients that Sect Leader Gu ordered, there are two that can be considered supplementary ingredients. As for these two supplementary ingredients, I won't use them. I'll use the supplementary ingredients that I think are better. "
Gu Zheng smiled slightly. "Alright, then let's get ready and start!"
Gu Zheng didn't know how good Chen San and Shi Jian's cooking skills were, but he didn't plan to use immortal power to cook for Shushan today. He also wanted to see how good his cooking skills could be without the help of immortal power.
Originally, this idea didn't take into account the other person's suggestion to exchange pointers. However, now that there were people who wanted to exchange pointers, Gu Zheng, who was also competitive, decided to stick to his original plan of not using immortal power! He wanted to compete with the two based on his understanding of ingredients and the advantage brought by Gokusen's Art.
"Gu Zheng, isn't your decision a little too arrogant? The other party is also a cultivator. You're already going easy on them by not using immortal techniques. However, if you don't even use immortal power, you'll be at a disadvantage! After all, they can use their inner strength to control the temperature of the fire and even use their inner strength to process the ingredients. "The artifact spirit said.
"In a dish, ingredients take up four points, cooking skills take up four points, and cultivation takes up two points."
"In terms of the level of ingredients, there's no difference between the things we use. The only difference is that they use more supplementary ingredients. Between plain and regular ingredients, which one tastes better depends on which one the taster prefers. Therefore, on this point, we're evenly split. "
"In terms of cooking skills, they've been chefs for decades and have a deep understanding of ingredients. However, I'm the successor of Gokusen. The Gokusen's Art that I cultivate was created by Lord Gokusen. It's also full of understanding of ingredients. As for Lord Gokusen's understanding of ingredients, if I say that he's the best in the world, you'll definitely agree! Therefore, on this point, I have the advantage. Moreover, if we only talk about the dish 'stir-fried pork with sour bamboo shoots', I'm sure that my understanding of ingredients is far superior to Chen San's. "
"In terms of cultivation, they use their inner strength and not some immortal technique. This makes the gap between us not impossible to make up. After all, inner strength's control of the fire and even the processing of ingredients isn't as outstanding as immortal techniques. Although I don't use my inner strength, as long as I have enough understanding of ingredients, it's just a little more troublesome. Through clumsy methods of controlling the fire and processing the ingredients, the effect that I can achieve may be a little worse than theirs, but it won't be too much worse. "
"In addition, although I don't use my inner strength, I cultivate the Gokusen's Art. Moreover, I've already reached the third level, so I can feel the minute things in the food. Previously, with the help of immortal techniques, it was easier to process the minute things. Although I don't use immortal techniques now, I can still use clumsy methods to remove the minute things that affect the taste. "
"Gu Zheng, let me interrupt."
The artifact spirit interrupted Gu Zheng's analysis. "It's true that you can feel minute things, but the processing of minute things can only be regarded as icing on the cake. It's a more extreme operation! But in reality, what about the taste? Unless it's someone who has a good sense of taste, ordinary people won't be able to taste it. Therefore, this can't be considered as your advantage! Moreover, this is only your analysis. Who knows, maybe they have some powerful tricks up their sleeves. You shouldn't give in to them too much. This will cause you to lose the competition! If you lose the competition, it'll be a slap to Qin Haotian's face. At the same time, you'll also lose face. "
The artifact spirit's words made Gu Zheng frown slightly. On the contrary, he was even more full of fighting spirit.
"I want to win, I don't want to lose, so I'll be very attentive. But if I lose, I won't feel too regretful! After all, I didn't intend to use immortal power and immortal techniques. I'll just take it as a challenge to myself. As for these two whetstones that jumped out, they were completely unexpected. "
"In addition, you can rest assured. Even if I lose, it won't be a slap to Qin Haotian's face! That Deacon Hu isn't an incompetent person. Do you think he'll let news of something that will damage Qin Haotian's image spread? Moreover, even if it spreads, Qin Haotian won't lose face. After all, I didn't use inner strength. This is also giving him room to maneuver. "
Gu Zheng seemed very confident. His confident appearance not only didn't make the artifact spirit angry, but it also made the artifact spirit laugh. "Looking at your confident appearance, it makes me feel a little strange. You say it's because you're happy, right? But why do I want to give you an immortal vine? "
"You're really abnormal!" Gu Zheng rolled his eyes and said.
"Haha!" Ignoring Gu Zheng's disrespect, the artifact spirit continued, "Confident Gu Zheng, aren't you afraid that people will see that you don't use inner strength and also don't use inner strength to show their elegance?"
"Don't worry, they won't. Using the same dish to compare notes, it should be me making a vegetarian dish and them making a vegetarian dish. After all, they're the ones who proposed to compare notes, and this is their home ground. The reason why they're playing to their strengths and avoiding their weaknesses is naturally that the result is more important. Naturally, they won't let go of their advantage and not use it. Anyway, for them, winning is better. Even if they lose, they'll lose to someone personally appointed by the sect leader. It's not shameful at all. "
Gu Zheng's voice paused. "I won't talk to you anymore. I have to start preparing."
Although talking to the artifact spirit wouldn't affect the work at hand, Gu Zheng didn't know why the artifact spirit always made him feel that she was a little talkative today. Moreover, she even wanted to slap Gu Zheng just now! This made Gu Zheng feel that it was better to stay away from this crazy artifact spirit.
The ingredients needed had already been washed by the helpers in the kitchen. They used the spring water from Mount Shu, so there was no problem with the water quality.
Gu Zheng first started to make 'Fungus Soup'. Gu Zheng ordered a total of eight main ingredients for this dish. They were: chicken fir, goose egg fungus, pearl fungus, singing leg fungus, agaric fungus, white silk fungus, pine fungus, and celestial fungus. The ingredients of these eight fungus were all ordinary.
Other than these main ingredients, the only other things Gu Zheng would use were Normal grade salt and Medium grade Earth Vein Spring Water. Of course, these things were all provided by Mount Shu. After all, the closing banquet of Mount Shu was a very grand event, and Mount Shu didn't feel bad about these ingredients that didn't come from easily.
