In general, the things that the artifact spirit told Gu Zheng were relatively depressing. She had already finished speaking for a long time, but Gu Zheng still kept a straight face and did not say a word.
"What's wrong? Do you feel a heavy pressure? "the artifact spirit asked.
"No, I'm just thinking that I just planned to use the mid-grade elemental energy increasing food to make another profit. I didn't expect the earth's Immortal Essence to recover so quickly. Doesn't this make my business impossible?"
Gu Zheng frowned and thought about this, which made the artifact spirit speechless.
"First of all, the recovery of Immortal Essence also needs a process."
"Secondly, you don't have to worry about this matter affecting your business. After all, once the Immortal Essence recovers to the point where the cultivators can feel it, they will definitely panic because of this! Coupled with the rise of the Devil Dao, they will do everything they can to increase their strength quickly! Besides, if there is Immortal Essence in the air, the effect of increasing elemental energy increasing food can be displayed to a greater extent, right? "
"You're right. I don't have to worry about it anymore." Gu Zheng laughed.
"You, you have to be more careful in the future. As for cultivation, I won't remind you. You have been working very hard for the past half a year." The artifact spirit smiled.
"Okay, you don't have to worry too much. Since Lord Gokusen sent you out of the wilderness, he should have prepared for the worst."
Gu Zheng's voice paused, and said with a cheeky smile, "Let's talk about something happy. I have completed the task of checking the Kunlun Divine Stone. What is the reward?"
"The reward is naturally the materials to repair the Chaos Tower."
The artifact spirit smiled, and her voice became serious, "Congratulations to the successor of Gokusen for completing the active task. The reward is five Earth Demon Inner Cores, three Profound Demon Inner Cores, and forty ordinary Immortal Essence Pills."
Gu Zheng exclaimed, "Wow, I remember you said before that except for the first active task, the rewards for the other active tasks would not be too generous. But this time the rewards are very generous!"
Among the materials used to repair the Primal Chaos Pagoda, in terms of demand, it was actually the materials used to refine spirit beasts and immortal artifacts.
Jiaojiao had also told Gu Zheng before that the materials given to him by the Spirit Beasts were not things like teeth, wings, claws, and the like. He really needed Spirit Beasts' Cores. But now, not only did the Weapon Spirit give him a Spirit Beast's Inner Core, it even gave him eight Inner Cores of two different grades. The reward was simply too generous.
What's more, there were still forty immortal essence pills as a reward. With these forty immortal essence pills, in addition to some of his previous reserves, Gu Zheng would be able to do another elixir consumption cultivation. Advancing to immortal cultivator was just around the corner.
"What's wrong? You don't want such a generous reward? If you don't want it, I'll take it back! "The artifact spirit laughed.
"No, why wouldn't I want it?" Gu Zheng said quickly.
"Actually, this is also Lord Gokusen's setting. Once the chaos tribulation begins, in order to speed up the growth of Gokusen's successor, the rewards for your future missions will be more generous than in the past." The artifact spirit said.
Gu Zheng smiled. "This relationship is good. The more rewards there are, the happier I will be!"
The matter of the Kunlun Sect was finally settled. Even though the Ancestral Dragon Formation was destroyed, according to the artifact spirit, even if it was repaired, it would not be able to slow down the collapse of the Heaven Realm. However, the people of the Kunlun Sect still repaired it. Those who came to Kunlun were still supporting the Ancestral Dragon Formation every day.
According to the request of Master Yu Feng, Gu Zheng stayed in the Kunlun Sect for another two days before leaving with a few Kunlun disciples.
Nothing happened on the way. After returning to Emei, Gu Zheng asked Elder Wuyou to arrange for the Kunlun disciples. He entered the Primal Chaos Pagoda and prepared to give the repair materials he obtained this time to Jiaojiao.
"Sect master is back!"
As soon as he entered the Primal Chaos Pagoda, a disciple greeted Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng nodded and went straight to the top floor of the Primal Chaos Pagoda.
As soon as he reached the top floor of the Primal Chaos Pagoda, Gu Zheng frowned. He saw a thirteen or fourteen year old girl in the pagoda. She was dressed in the attire of the Emei Sect's disciples and was nestled in an armchair. In her hand was the secret manual that Gu Zheng had obtained from the Kongkong Sect's treasure. This secret manual was placed in the Emei Sect's library by Gu Zheng. Even elite disciples would find it difficult to read it! Moreover, the girl was chewing on melon seeds in her mouth. The melon seeds were thrown all over the ground by her.
"Which steward's descendant are you?"
Gu Zheng said coldly. He thought that there was actually such a bold steward in the sect. After all, if this girl was not the descendant of a higher-up, she would not have been able to enter the top floor of the Primal Chaos Pagoda, which was clearly forbidden to others.
"Hehe."
The girl seemed to have noticed Gu Zheng long ago. She was waiting for Gu Zheng to ask her. She laughed tenderly and jumped up from the chair. She ran towards Gu Zheng. Looking at her enthusiastic momentum, it seemed that she wanted to jump onto Gu Zheng's body.
Gu Zheng wanted to dodge, but the air around him tightened. His body slowed down, and the girl jumped onto him. Her legs clamped around his waist, and her arms hugged his neck.
Gu Zheng's eyes widened. The abnormality just now was clearly the Heaven and Earth Energy being mobilized. To be able to mobilize Heaven and Earth Energy, could this girl be an immortal cultivator?
Looking at the fair-skinned girl making faces at him, Gu Zheng seemed to have thought of something. Just as he was about to speak, the Artifact Spirit's voice was heard for the first time.
"Impudent! Hurry up and get down!"
Hearing the Artifact Spirit's voice, the fair-skinned girl's expression immediately changed. She even trembled a little as she jumped down from Gu Zheng's body. She lowered her head and stood to the side.
"You, you're a white cat?" Gu Zheng asked.
She was an immortal cultivator, and she was so afraid of the Artifact Spirit. Gu Zheng couldn't think of anything else other than the white cat in front of him.
The white cat was an immortal level spirit beast, but her ancestor was an immortal level spirit beast. Because of her impure bloodline, she was only an immortal level spirit beast. When the Artifact Spirit subdued the white cat, it released its pressure through Gu Zheng's body. It also let the white cat smell her ancestor. The smell of her ancestor came from an ingredient. This ingredient was taken from her ancestor when Gokusen needed it.
"Meow."
In response to Gu Zheng's question, the girl raised her head. She stared at Gu Zheng with her big watery eyes and meowed.
"Ha!"
Gu Zheng laughed, but his laughter was a little awkward.
Gu Zheng had never carefully observed whether the white cat was male or female. But its bandit-like behavior at first made Gu Zheng think that it was male. He even called it "Brother Cat". But who would have thought that this white cat was a female cat?
Since the white cat ate the spirit beast food, it had been sleeping for several months. He didn't expect that after it ended its sleep, it could transform! No wonder the Artifact Spirit said that the longer it slept, the better it would grow.
"The reason why you stayed in Emei was not only because you were afraid, but also because I let you smell your ancestor's aura from Gu Zheng's body! With your spiritual intelligence at that time, you should have thought that Gu Zheng had some kind of relationship with your ancestor, so you were very close to Gu Zheng. But now that you have transformed and your spiritual intelligence has been fully developed, you naturally understand what the aura at that time was all about! Now, I want to ask you, is there any hatred in your fear of me now? "The Artifact Spirit's voice was as cold as ice.
"Ancestor is just a title. My bloodline has already become so diluted that it's no longer pure. To me, who has already taken human form, it's really very distant. Perhaps after we meet, it will eat me in order to increase its cultivation. I don't hate you. After you scared me for such a long time, you have always been very friendly to me. I already have a sense of belonging to Emei. This is my home. "
Although the girl said a lot, Gu Zheng could still feel that she was afraid of the Artifact Spirit.
"Hmph, it's good that you don't." The Artifact Spirit snorted.
"Enough, Artifact Spirit. She was afraid of you to begin with. When you talk to her like that, you see how she is so scared that she doesn't even dare to breathe. I can feel that she really treats Emei as her home. "Gu Zheng thought.
"Treating Emei as her home is one thing, making her afraid of me is another. She has a very wild personality. How can she live without someone who is afraid of her? Didn't you see how she dared to trespass on the top floor of the Primal Chaos Pagoda and even spit out melon seed shells? After seeing you, she even jumped onto your body. This is too outrageous! "The Artifact Spirit said angrily.
Gu Zheng's eyes widened. He really wanted to ask the Artifact Spirit if it was the white cat's last crime that she had listed out that was her original sin. But in the end, Gu Zheng didn't open his mouth.
"Since you have already transformed, you should have a name. From now on, you will be called Meow Meow!" The Artifact Spirit's voice slowed down.
Gu Zheng raised his eyebrows. This Artifact Spirit really liked to declare its sovereignty. In the past, it forced Jiaojiao to occupy a small corner and gave it the name Jiaojiao. Now, it gave the white cat such a simple name. It was really casual!
"Yes."
Meow Meow first agreed in a small voice, then asked in a small voice, "Then what should I call you?"
"Just like Jiaojiao, call me Big Sister!" The Artifact Spirit said.
"Yes, Big Sister."
Hearing Meow Meow call her Big Sister so sweetly, the Artifact Spirit snorted coldly. "You need to be more polite to your master. What you did just now was too outrageous. If you dare do it again, see if I don't teach you a lesson!"
"Yes."
The white cat nodded and looked at Gu Zheng pleadingly.
"Alright, it's the first time you met me in human form, so you were too happy. Just be careful in the future."
After Gu Zheng spoke, the Artifact Spirit didn't say anything else.
"Sit!"
Gu Zheng smiled at Meow Meow and sat down on an armchair.
With the Artifact Spirit silent, Meow Meow relaxed a lot. She smiled back at Gu Zheng, then sat down on another armchair.
Gu Zheng was naturally curious about Meow Meow, so the two chatted for a long time.
When Meow Meow ate the spirit beast food, she was already a late-earth fey. After sleeping for a few months, she'd entered mid-profound fey, which was equivalent to a mid-ascended cultivator. Jia Si, who'd been a bit stronger than her before, was now only an early-ascended cultivator. In certain aspects, fey cultivators couldn't be compared to human cultivators.
Before Meow Meow had taken human form, she'd been able to understand humans, but she hadn't fully developed her intelligence. Now that she'd taken human form and could even read human texts, her intelligence was no different from a normal person's. However, her temperament was still a bit like a child's, and she still needed a lot of tempering.
After chatting with Meow Meow, Gu Zheng handed over the materials needed to repair the Chaos Tower to the busy Jiaojiao.
Jiaojiao told Gu Zheng that because they'd gotten a lot of materials recently, the speed of repair had increased, and the repair had reached a certain level. As the master of the Chaos Tower, he'd need to provide blood and immortal power for the next month to repair the Chaos Tower.
Jiaojiao told Gu Zheng this news, so Gu Zheng had no choice but to temporarily put aside his plan to go to Foggy Wind Island. In any case, it was only a month, which wasn't too long.
After leaving the Primal Chaos Tower, Gu Zheng summoned the upper echelons of Emei and told them what had happened on Kunlun Mountain.
As for the immortal power that would slowly recover and the demonic path might flourish because of this, Gu Zheng didn't say anything. He only reminded everyone that the world might change, and it was better to be careful.
Originally, Gu Zheng hadn't touched many of the things he'd obtained from the Void Sect's treasure, for fear of arousing suspicion. But now, Gu Zheng gave some immortal tools to everyone and warned them not to use these things unless it was a last resort.
After distributing some immortal tools and resources to everyone, Gu Zheng listened to Elder Wuyou's summary of what had happened in the sect recently.
Overall, Emei's development momentum was very good. Ever since Gu Zheng had asked Elder Wuyou to recruit disciples, this matter had been done by the Emei Sect's deacons outside. But after all, it was the modern era, and it wasn't particularly easy to recruit disciples. So far, Emei had recruited more than 30 talented seedlings.
A total of more than 30 disciples were recruited. This number was definitely not comparable to the number of disciples recruited by large sects like Shu Mountain and Kunlun, but compared to the total number of people in Emei, this was not a small number. After all, when Gu Zheng first took over Emei, the total number of people in the sect didn't exceed 100.
In addition to the recruitment of disciples, which brought Gu Zheng great joy, there was also Elder Wuchou.
When Gu Zheng returned to the sect from abroad, Elder Wuchou's cultivation was already at the late stage of the fifth level. But as the absolute core of Kunlun Sect, among the resources he was allocated, there were pills that were very suitable for his cultivation! And after a period of bitter cultivation, his cultivation had reached the peak of the late stage of the fifth level, which really surprised Gu Zheng! Not counting the cultivators, it had to be said that Elder Wuchou's cultivation speed was the fastest among the members of Emei during this period of time!
"Second Elder, how did you cultivate during this period of time? How did your cultivation progress so fast? "Gu Zheng smiled and said.
"Senior Brother and I have always been inseparable. Ever since he advanced to become a cultivator, I suddenly found that the gap between us was a little big. It was also because of this that stimulated me and made me have to cultivate more diligently. I didn't expect that with my change and the effect of the pills, I would reach the peak of the late stage of the fifth level so quickly. It really surprised me! "Elder Wuchou scratched his head and smiled.
His inner strength had been purified, and his cultivation had reached the peak. Now, Elder Wuchou only lacked an opportunity, an opportunity that could let him enter the mysterious realm to comprehend.
Gu Zheng was happy for Elder Wuchou and the whole of Emei. As the sect leader, it was time for him to advance his cultivation.
Although most of the pills brought out from the treasure of Kongkong Sect were not suitable for him to consume, these pills could still be used to refine the Elixir Food Cultivation. It was just that it had to be refined with the Immortal Essence Pill.
This time, the active task of Kunlun Mountain had made Gu Zheng's Immortal Essence Pill reserve to the point where he could make another Elixir Food Cultivation. Moreover, according to the Device Spirit, although the dragon bone obtained in Kunlun Mountain had lost the dragon spirit and dragon qi, which caused the material grade to drop, it was still a dragon bone. If it was added to the Elixir Food Cultivation this time, the effect would be very good.
Gu Zheng decided that in these two days, he would make the Elixir Food Cultivation. Advancing to become an immortal cultivator as soon as possible was the best way. Moreover, due to the difference in Gokusen Technique, when Gu Zheng advanced to become an immortal cultivator, he did not need to wait for the opportunity to reach the mysterious realm like other cultivators. His mysterious realm would appear when the immortal power in his body reached the standard. This was unusual, at least before the Jin Xian Realm.
"By the way, sect leader, when you were in Kunlun, Zhao Wen actually came to Emei again." Elder Wuyou said.
"Zhao Wen came to Emei? What did he come here for? Visit? "
Gu Zheng frowned. This Zhao Wen was the head of the Zhao family at the foot of Emei Mountain. They had a little contact because of the Dark Ancient Wood incident.
At that time, Zhao Wen gave Gu Zheng information about the Dark Ancient Wood in the Qingcheng Sect. Gu Zheng promised that if the information could help Gu Zheng smoothly obtain the Dark Ancient Wood, as long as he came to Emei Sect within a month, Gu Zheng would cook delicious food for him again.
However, according to the information provided by Zhao Wen, Gu Zheng did not obtain enough Dark Ancient Wood. Instead, he got the information from the Qingcheng Sect. Finally, he obtained a huge Dark Ancient Wood coffin from the Zhao family's secret chamber.
In the following month, Zhao Wen did not come to Emei Mountain. On the contrary, when Gu Zheng returned to the sect some time ago, Elder Wuyou said that Zhao Wen had come to visit.
"Speaking of the devil, here comes the devil!"
Zhao Wen, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.
"Zhao Wen is here?"
Gu Zheng's eyes widened. He came just as they were talking about him. What a coincidence.
"Yes, he came with a young woman. He is now outside the Mountain-guarding Formation." Zhao Wen said.
"Let him in. I want to see what he wants." Gu Zheng smiled.
Gu Zheng did not go to greet Zhao Wen. Instead, he met him in the banquet hall of Emei Mountain.
As soon as he entered the banquet hall, Zhao Wen smiled and said, "Sect Leader Gu, it's really not easy to see you!"
"You came at the right time. If you came a few days later, I might not be in the sect again. I just came back today and was talking with the disciples. When I heard that you came, I came to the banquet hall to wait for you. "Gu Zheng said lightly.
Zhao Wen did not dare to say anything about Gu Zheng not coming to greet him personally. He laughed and changed the topic. "Sect Leader Gu is waiting for me in the banquet hall. It seems that I will have a good meal this time! Sect Leader Gu must have gotten what he wanted from the Qingcheng Sect, so he has to fulfill his promise to me! "
"I did get what I wanted from the Qingcheng Sect." Gu Zheng made up a lie. "However, my promise was only for a month. You didn't come that month!"
"My grandfather was not in good health that month, so he couldn't come. After he got better, he climbed all the way to Mount Emei to see Sect Leader Gu. Including this time, it's already his second time! Could it be that Sect Leader Gu is not even willing to entertain him? How stingy! "
The woman beside Zhao Wen looked to be in her early twenties. She was as beautiful as a flower. When she spoke, she pouted her bright red lips and her voice was very pleasant to the ears. Ordinary people who saw her like this would have their imaginations run wild.
However, Gu Zheng's brows furrowed slightly because when the woman spoke, the artifact spirit's voice rang out in his mind.
