The first thing Song Likun put into his mouth was also a slice of Xianyun pork.
With the first bite, Song Likun's eyes lit up. Then, he slowly chewed and swallowed the entire piece of meat.
"Delicious, very delicious!"
"The pork skin is chewy, and the pork is fat but not greasy. It's fragrant and soft. The sauce covering it not only has the unique taste of fermented bean curd, but also a fresh sweetness that I can't make. This might be caused by Sect Leader Gu adding more gravy from the stir-fried pickled vegetables! In addition, the Xianyun pork has a mellow meat aroma that I can't make either. It should be the ultimate taste of meat. This has to do with Sect Leader Gu's effort! "
Song Likun was very emotional. After he finished speaking, he put another slice of orchid into his mouth.
"Delicious!"
After the slice of orchid entered his stomach, Song Likun licked his lips and said, "I thought that the taste of the orchid slice would become crispy due to excessive washing, but I didn't expect that not only did it not become crispy, but it was softer than the original slice. It absorbed the sauce from the fermented bean curd, the gravy from the Xianyun pork, and even the gravy from the pickled vegetables. This is really incredible. I really don't know how Sect Leader Gu did this! What's even rarer is that after inhaling the broth, not only is the fragrance of the orchid slices not overshadowed, but it also becomes more layered. The feeling of several different yet harmonious flavors exploding at the tip of the tongue is truly a pleasure! "
"Before I cut the orchid slice, I didn't know that this kind of ingredient could be so good. It can actually be so harmonious with the meat and gravy. Of course, to achieve this harmony, first of all, you have to remove the things that hinder the harmony in the ingredients. This is why I washed it for half a day before. "
Gu Zheng smiled. Although sometimes removing the small things that hinder the taste of the food wouldn't have a big effect, it was indeed different this time. First of all, the ingredients were very good, and second of all, the taster was a chef from the Kunlun Sect. Perhaps it was their first time being a judge, but they were already very professional!
Song Likun didn't ask Gu Zheng how he should do it. He just paused thoughtfully, then picked up some pickled vegetables and put them into his mouth.
"Wu …"
Song Likun immediately shut his mouth awkwardly. He didn't expect Yukina to explode like that!
Compared to Chef Li's reaction after tasting the pickled vegetables, Song Likun's reaction was much more intense. Instead of frowning, he was pondering with his eyes wide open. After swallowing a mouthful of pickled vegetables, he ate two more!
"Chef Song, leave some for us!"
"That's right. Let's have a taste and see what it tastes like."
The rest of the chefs were swallowing their saliva as they spoke. Just the fact that Gu Zheng could make the pickled vegetables explode was enough for them to look forward to.
"I didn't expect this! Snow mustard is not an ingredient that can explode, but Sect Leader Gu was able to make it explode. It absorbed the juice of Xianyun pork. Fragrant, it's really fragrant! "
Song Likun's voice paused, and then he said solemnly, "Sect Leader Gu, I'm convinced. You didn't disappoint me. The 'Pork with Pickled Vegetables and Orchid Slices' you made is much better than mine!"
The 'Pork with Pickled Vegetables and Orchid Slices' dish was made by Gu Zheng with more effort than the 'Three Immortals Sauce' dish. The reason why Song Likun gave such a high evaluation was not only because of his effort, but also because the ingredients used in the 'Pork with Pickled Vegetables and Orchid Slices' dish were more flexible and had more room for improvement than the ingredients used in the 'Three Immortals Sauce' dish.
The Gokusen Technique gave Gu Zheng an extraordinary understanding of ingredients. With just a glance, Gu Zheng basically knew the characteristics of an ingredient and the best way to cook it.
Although it was Gu Zheng's first time cooking 'Pork with Pickled Vegetables and Orchid Slices' dish, he surpassed Song Likun, who was good at cooking this dish. This made the other chefs in the kitchen look at him with admiration and respect.
Song Likun was very happy. He personally handed over the ingredients that he had treasured for many years to Gu Zheng. As for the other chefs, they were busy eating the 'Pork with Pickled Vegetables and Orchid Slices' dish made by Gu Zheng.
"Sect Leader Gu, I'm very gratified today. I'm going to find a place to drink a pot of wine. I'll leave the kitchen to you!" Song Likun said.
"Okay."
Gu Zheng nodded in agreement. After watching Song Likun leave, he looked at the banquet menu.
The Kunlun Sect requested eight dishes and two soups. They had already specified four dishes and one soup, including 'Pork with Pickled Vegetables and Orchid Slices'. As for the other four dishes and one soup, it was up to Gu Zheng to decide on them.
At noon, in the banquet hall of the Kunlun Sect.
Of the seven Supreme Elders of the Kunlun Sect, except for three who were in the Ancestral Dragon Formation, the other four were all present. Apart from the four of them, the only person from the Kunlun Sect who participated was the sect leader, Wuchen Zi.
"By the way, I suddenly remembered that when Sect Leader Gu came to Kunlun to see Wuchen Zi, he seemed to have said that he met people from the Devil Path on the way?" Yufeng Shangren asked Xuan Qizi, who was drinking tea.
"There was such a thing, but I don't know the details. When he comes over, you can ask him." Wuchen Zi said.
"The devil bastards are getting more and more arrogant recently. They even went to the foot of Kunlun Mountain to block them. When the Ancestral Dragon Formation is finished, I've decided to organize a clean-up."
It wasn't that the Kunlun Sect didn't know that the Devil Path people were blocking the people from Kunlun Mountain. It was just that this year, the light on the Kunlun Divine Stone was unstable, and it required more energy to maintain the Ancestral Dragon Formation. The people of Kunlun had no time to be distracted. Of course, this kind of thing could only happen some time ago. If it was now, the Devil Path people dared to block them at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. It was purely an act of seeking death.
"The last time the righteous path people destroyed the Devil Path should be four hundred years ago." The Second Supreme Elder sighed.
"Unknowingly, four hundred years have passed. After four hundred years of peace, the Devil Path is now so rampant! However, the light on the Kunlun Divine Stone is unstable. Is it really suitable to destroy the Devil Path at this time? "Xuan Qizi asked.
"The light is unstable. No one knows what it represents. However, a blessing is not a curse. If a curse is a curse, it can't be avoided. Now that the Devil Path has done such a thing, if we don't teach them a lesson, not only will Kunlun lose face, but also the face of all the righteous sects in the world. After all, this terrible incident happened during the grand gathering of the righteous sects in the world," Wuchen Zi said angrily.
"Alright, you can just issue the Hero's Token when the time comes. Shu Mountain and the branch sects will all participate."
Xuan Qizi's voice paused, and then he frowned, "Yu Feng, actually, what I'm most worried about is not the Devil Path!"
"I know that you're most worried about what happened in Kunlun Ruins. I'm also worried about this matter, but it's useless for us to worry. After all, we can't find it now!" Master Yu Feng sighed.
"Reporting to the supreme elders, Sect Leader Gu has brought his disciples here. We can start the banquet."
The Kunlun disciple outside the banquet hall reported.
"Let them in!" Master Yu Feng said.
"Sect Leader Gu, I'm really sorry. You're a guest, so you should sit here and wait for the banquet to begin. However, you're an immortal chef! All of us are impatient and want to taste the delicacies that you make. "Looking at Gu Zheng who had just entered, Master Jade Peak said with a smile.
"Master Yu Feng, you're too polite. We're not ordinary people, so there's no need to take some mortal etiquette too seriously." Gu Zheng also smiled.
"That's for the best. In the future, we should not only have a cooperative relationship, but also be like a family!"
Master Yu Feng smiled and then introduced the other supreme elders and Wuchen Zi to Gu Zheng one by one.
The upper echelons of the Kunlun Sect all had a good attitude towards Gu Zheng. After all, as long as they had an agreement with Master Yu Feng, the others would naturally not have any problems. This included the two supreme elders who had lost their juniors' items. They did not seem to have any resentment towards Gu Zheng. After all, as supreme elders, it was important for them to think about the big picture.
"Come, for our future cooperation, and for our friendship to last forever, let's drink this cup!"
The immortal wine they were drinking this time was Kunlun's unique 'Ice Flame Brew'. It was better than the 'Snow Plum Blossom Brew' that Shu Mountain had given to Emei. Master Yu Feng raised his head and raised his cup. After everyone drank it, they hugged their dantian and absorbed the immortal energy brought by the immortal wine.
"Let's start the banquet!"
After everyone had finished absorbing the immortal energy, Master Yu Feng smiled faintly. With a wave of his hand, the lids on the plates all flew up and neatly stacked to the side.
"Ha, there's actually fried eggs!"
"Yeah, I also didn't expect that there would be fried eggs!"
"However, it looks like it's fried eggs."
"No matter what, I want to try the fried eggs first."
The four dishes that Gu Zheng had made looked quite ordinary on the surface. The overall style was similar to the 'stir-fried pumpkin tips' and 'cold radish slices' that he had made in the Zhao Residence at the foot of Mount Emei. However, among these four dishes, the one that made people's eyes light up the most and made people feel that it was a joke was undoubtedly the plate of fried eggs.
The eggs were brought out of the Kunlun Ruins. The ingredients were of ordinary grade, and the taste was much better than Gu Zheng's ordinary eggs. In addition, it was Gokusen's cooking skills. As soon as the supreme elders entered their mouths, their eyes widened. Only praises could be heard in the room.
The atmosphere of the banquet was very good from the beginning to the end.
During this period, the supreme elders of the Kunlun Sect were full of praise for the delicacies that Gu Zheng had cooked. This was undoubtedly a very successful banquet, and the guests and hosts were all happy.
After the banquet ended, Gu Zheng was quite familiar with the upper echelons of Kunlun. In this banquet, other than Gu Zheng, the people of Kunlun also valued Mount Emei behind him.
There were many disciples of the Kunlun Sect, at least twice as many as Mount Shu. This time, they needed Gu Zheng to make 200 servings of elemental cultivation increasing food.
Two hundred servings of elemental boosting food was not a small amount. Aside from the 10% reward that Gu Zheng received for one serving, he secretly swapped and pocketed the ingredients that Shu Mountain gave him. He really made a lot of money.
"Hehe, the hard work of 'fabricating' on Mount Shu back then has finally paid off. After I become a true immortal cultivator, I'll open the production of middle-grade elemental cultivation increasing food to them."
Looking at the large pile of ingredients in the Chaotic Space, Gu Zheng laughed in his heart.
"I have to say that your 'fabrication' on Mount Shu was very successful. Compared to the low-grade elemental cultivation increasing food, the ingredients needed for middle-grade elemental cultivation increasing food are not particularly greedy. When the time comes, Kunlun and Mount Shu will let you make a lot of money again."
The Qi Ling smirked. She was also very happy that Gu Zheng had obtained a lot of ingredients.
"When I set the ingredients needed for low-grade elemental cultivation increasing food in this way, I also wanted to see the foundation of Mount Shu!"
Gu Zheng sighed and took out the elemental cultivation increasing food from the pot.
Making elemental cultivation increasing food for Kunlun was different from the one he made in Mount Shu. The environment this time was completely in Gu Zheng's separate space, so it was very convenient no matter what he did.
The effect of the elemental cultivation increasing food that Gu Zheng made this time was the same as the one he made in Mount Shu. After the Kunlun disciples ate it, everyone's face was filled with excitement.
After the few supreme elders tasted the elemental cultivation increasing food, they were naturally very optimistic about this kind of food that was made by an immortal chef. Its effect was not inferior to spirit pills! At the same time, they were also very much looking forward to the effect of the middle-grade elemental cultivation increasing food when Gu Zheng reached the immortal cultivator realm.
Two hundred portions of elemental cultivation increasing food did not take Gu Zheng too long. After finishing, Gu Zheng returned to his residence and waited for the arrival of tomorrow.
Early the next morning, a Kunlun disciple came to inform Gu Zheng that it was time for him to enter the Ancestral Dragon Great Formation.
The Ancestral Dragon Great Formation was in the valley behind the mountain of Kunlun Sect. Other than Master Yu Feng and Xuan Qizi, there was also the group of people who were going to enter the Ancestral Dragon Great Formation today. There were more than two hundred people, and their cultivation was uneven. There were late fifth layer and early third layer.
Everyone stopped at the entrance of the valley. Surrounding them were mountains covered in white snow, but there was not a single snowflake in the valley. Looking around, there was a stone forest hidden in the fog in the valley. There were also some figures that could not be seen clearly moving.
"Let's go in!"
Master Yu Feng took the lead and entered. When he passed by the entrance of the valley, the stone walls on both sides, which originally seemed to have nothing, actually had two thin electric arcs.
Master Yu Feng did not have the slightest resistance towards the electric arcs that suddenly appeared. He, who was surrounded by the electric arcs, passed through the entrance of the valley unhurriedly.
"There are immortal arrays on both sides of the stone walls. These electric arcs are harmless to people, but they can detect some things, such as whether there are people of the demonic path mixed in."
Xuan Qizi explained to Gu Zheng and also passed through the entrance of the valley.
"Don't worry, this kind of immortal array can't detect the chaotic space."
Knowing what Gu Zheng was worried about, the voice of the artifact spirit sounded in his mind.
Sure enough, as Xuan Qizi said, when the electric arcs surrounded his body, Gu Zheng did not feel the slightest bit uncomfortable. There was only a feeling similar to being spied on by divine sense.
Entering the valley, the scene was completely different from what he saw outside. In front of him was a thick fog, and the visibility was not even one meter. However, there was a faint light flashing in front of him, just like a light.
"Those bright lights are the external light array of the Ancestral Dragon Great Array. If you continue to walk forward, there will be people who are supporting the Ancestral Dragon Great Array beside you. However, you can't see or sense these people. The Ancestral Dragon Great Array is a large array that is stacked together by several arrays. There are illusion arrays, trapping arrays, and killing arrays. Walking in here, you have to follow my footwork closely. Once you take a wrong step, you may attract a fatal disaster! "Xuan Qizi said seriously.
"Junior understands."
Gu Zheng responded and followed Xuan Qizi's footwork closely.
In the Ancestral Dragon Great Array, people will completely lose their sense of direction. Gu Zheng calculated the time in his mind. After walking for about ten minutes, the fog suddenly disappeared, and a circular square appeared in front of him. On the ground, there was a shining light array with many mysterious runes. And in the center of the square, there was a diamond-shaped crystal the size of an adult floating. There was a light on it that was flickering.
"Divine Kunlun Stone."
Gu Zheng murmured. He finally saw the stone that could help him complete his mission.
He saw that the light flashing on the Divine Kunlun Stone was very strange. In the white light surrounding it, there seemed to be a faint trace of black. It was like a living thing that was swaying in the white light.
"Sect Leader Gu, this is the Divine Kunlun Stone. If you want to see it, hurry up. This is the center of the Ancestral Dragon Great Array. Normally, people are not allowed to enter."
"Okay."
Gu Zheng nodded and approached the Divine Kunlun Stone.
"Huff huff …"
Just as Gu Zheng was approaching the Divine Kunlun Stone, the Weapon Spirit's hurried breathing sounded in his mind.
"What's wrong with you?" Gu Zheng frowned.
"Gu Zheng, I was originally very worried that the Divine Kunlun Stone's situation was the worst. Now, it seems that although it hasn't reached that level, it's just a little bit away." The Weapon Spirit's voice was slightly anxious.
"What's the worst situation?" Gu Zheng urged.
"I don't have time to explain so much to you now. You have to quickly tell Master Yu Feng and the others to change the Ancestral Dragon Great Array's augmentation method. Otherwise, it will be too late!"
"What do you want me to tell them? You have to give me a way to convince them, right? "
The Artifact Spirit's anxiety caused Gu Zheng to become very anxious as well.
At the same time.
Somewhere in the Ancestral Dragon Great Array, Tong Rui, who was sitting cross-legged and constantly injecting inner strength into the light array, suddenly lay on the ground and began to twitch.
The twitching process was very short, only five breaths of time. Tong Rui, who had stopped twitching, sat up again. However, her originally clear eyes had completely turned black, and the corners of her mouth curled up into a sinister smile.
"Heh."
After the mutation, Tong Rui raised her palm. The black inner strength wrapped around it was constantly twisting like a living creature.
"Pa!"
Tong Rui's palm slapped the light array. A trace of black Qi immediately appeared in the shimmering crystal. Then, her figure disappeared into the fog.
Almost at the same time that Tong Rui slapped the crystal, the small amount of black that existed in the light of the Divine Kunlun Stone immediately increased.
"Eh? What's going on? "
Master Yu Feng, who was looking at the Divine Kunlun Stone, immediately realized that something was wrong.
"Not good, someone is destroying the Ancestral Dragon Great Array. Quickly stop it!" The Weapon Spirit said anxiously.
"Master Yu Feng, someone is destroying the Ancestral Dragon Great Array. Quickly stop it!"
Hearing the Weapon Spirit's anxious voice, Gu Zheng could not care less and hurriedly reminded him.
"What?"
Master Yu Feng's eyes instantly widened. He, who originally felt that something was wrong, immediately became extremely serious after hearing Gu Zheng's words.
Releasing his Divine Sense, Master Yu Feng quickly found Tong Rui, who was causing destruction everywhere.
"You're courting death!"
Master Yu Feng roared angrily, and the Divine Sense light immediately crashed towards Tong Rui.
There was no need to say how powerful the Divine Sense was. As long as Tong Rui was hit by it, it would be strange if she did not turn into a pile of dust.
