In order to make the Immortal Fruit Food Cultivation, the supplementary ingredients had to be processed in various ways. In terms of order, the Immortal Fruit Food Cultivation had to first boil the main ingredients into a soup, and then put in various supplementary ingredients.
The water in the pot boiled quickly under the influence of the Fire Control Art. Gu Zheng put a small amount of Immortal Fruit into the pot in an orderly manner. Under the influence of the Water Control Art, the Fire Control Art, and the Wood Control Art, the Immortal Fruit in the pot was quickly boiled into a paste, and a strange sweet smell began to spread in the air.
After putting the supplementary ingredients into the pot in an orderly manner, Gu Zheng reduced the intensity of the fire and slowly boiled it.
In the process of making the Immortal Fruit Food Cultivation, Gu Zheng had naturally seen the "formula" of the Dao. However, this "formula" was wrong. If he had followed this "formula", the result would have been delicious, not food cultivation.
Gu Zheng's admiration for the Glutton Immortal grew. He really didn't know how the Glutton Immortal was able to create a food cultivation method that could turn something that shouldn't have any medicinal effect into an incredible spiritual medicine.
Gu Zheng understood that even though he had become a true immortal cultivator, he still had a long way to go in many aspects.
As a reward for becoming an immortal cultivator, the Immortal Fruit Food Cultivation was different from the previous food cultivation method. Apart from having to add immortal power from time to time when making it, its effects were also very incredible in Gu Zheng's eyes.
Among the Immortal Fruits that Gu Zheng had stored, there were ordinary Little Cold Melons, Jade Dragon Eyes, Golden Light Lychees, and so on. Intermediate Immortal Apricot Fruits, Five-Finger Bananas, Immortal Vine Papayas, and so on. For example, the Immortal Essence contained in an Immortal Apricot Fruit, if consumed directly, was equivalent to an ordinary Immortal Essence Pill.
However, if the Immortal Apricot Fruit was made into an Immortal Fruit Food Cultivation, then the Immortal Essence it could bring to the consumer was equivalent to five ordinary Immortal Essence Pills! The more Immortal Essence the Immortal Fruit contained, the greater the difference between eating it raw and eating it. The Immortal Apricot Fruit was inferior to the Five-Finger Bananas and Immortal Vine Papayas in terms of size and Immortal Essence.
If Gu Zheng divided the Immortal Fruits he had into three portions to make the Immortal Fruit Food Cultivation, the total number of Immortal Fruits in a pot of Immortal Fruit Food Cultivation would be about 40 Immortal fruits. According to the Artifact Spirit's estimation, the medicinal effects of these Immortal Fruit Food Cultivation would be no less than a single mid-grade Immortal Essence Food Cultivation made by Gu Zheng!
Unlike before, Gu Zheng's cultivation base was already at the fourth and second level of the Gluttony Immortal Art. The further he cultivated, the more immortal energy he would need to level up. According to the Artifact Spirit, even if all the Immortal Fruits were divided into three portions to make the Immortal Fruit Food Cultivation, Gu Zheng would have to eat it at least seven or eight times if he wanted to advance just by eating it.
However, the Immortal Fruit Food Cultivation had another strong point, which was that it had the same characteristics as the Immortal Fruit Food Cultivation. If the Immortal Essence contained in the air reached a certain standard, then after eating it, one's body would become like a "whirlpool" and crazily absorb the Immortal Essence in the air. This was the strongest point of the Immortal Fruit Food Cultivation and the Immortal Fruit Food Cultivation. Regarding this point, the Immortal Pill Food Cultivation actually had the same effect, but its grade had to be at the upper grade.
It was precisely because the Immortal Essence in the air did not reach the standard that although Gu Zheng's stock of Immortal Fruits was enough for him to make three large portions, he only made a small portion to taste according to the lowest standard. According to the Artifact Spirit's estimation, the Immortal Essence in the air would reach the standard in about a year.
In addition, only low-grade food cultivation methods like the Elemental Increasing Food Cultivation would have a situation where the effects would decrease after repeated consumption. Middle-grade food cultivation methods like the Elemental Core Food Cultivation and the Immortal Fruit Food Cultivation did not have this kind of drawback.
The Immortal Fruit Food Cultivation had been made. The soup was pink and sticky, as if it was filled with starch.
Gu Zheng raised his head and drank the Immortal Fruit Food Cultivation. The sweet and sour taste was still lingering in his mouth. The fragrant and smooth Immortal Fruit Food Cultivation had already turned into Immortal Essence and flew toward the Immortal Power ball in his Dantian.
Unfortunately, this was only a small portion of the Immortal Fruit Food Cultivation. The Immortal Essence contained in it was really too little for Gu Zheng's advancement requirements.
After eating the Immortal Fruit Food Cultivation, Gu Zheng stayed in the sect for another day and then left Emei.
This time, Gu Zheng had originally planned to go to Foggy Wind Island alone. However, the Artifact Spirit thought that now was a chaotic time. Although Gu Zheng had become a cultivator, he should still be careful when going to an unworldly island. He should bring someone with him so that they could take care of him if something happened.
As for the person to follow Gu Zheng, the Artifact Spirit actually took the initiative to recommend Meow Meow, which surprised Gu Zheng quite a bit. However, after listening to the Artifact Spirit's explanation, he felt like vomiting blood again.
After all, Gu Zheng was a modern man. In some aspects, his thinking was different from the Artifact Spirit's. In the Artifact Spirit's view, Gu Zheng was the successor of Gokusen and had become a cultivator. Therefore, he should have his own style. If Gu Zheng's identity was in the Untainted Land, he would definitely have several people by his side when he went out. Even the simplest one would have to be a maidservant with a high cultivation.
The Artifact Spirit thought that it would be a good idea to bring Meow Meow along. First of all, Meow Meow's cultivation was up to standard. Secondly, Meow Meow was also good-looking and would not embarrass Gu Zheng. Lastly, Meow Meow was still lacking in the ways of the world. Following Gu Zheng would be a good way to train her.
"Humans are really smart. They actually used other means to make such a huge monster fly so fast."
On the plane, Meow Meow looked at the clouds outside the window and said with a sigh.
"Ahem."
Gu Zheng coughed dryly because he noticed that a young blonde passenger sitting in the front row was looking back at Meow Meow in surprise.
"Sorry, she..."
Gu Zheng smiled at the blonde passenger and pointed at his head, indicating that Meow Meow had a mental problem.
"Keep your companion in check. What she said could easily scare people. I thought she came from another world!"
Although the blonde passenger's words sounded reproachful, his unruly eyes were carefully sizing up the beautiful Meow Meow.
"What are you looking at? Do you think I won't send you to another world with a bolt of lightning? "
Meow Meow glared at the blonde passenger fiercely.
The blonde passenger was stunned at first, then hurriedly turned his head and shook his head slightly. He whispered, "What a pretty loli. How did she become stupid from reading novels?"
"Hehe."
Meow Meow knew that she had said something wrong again and smiled at Gu Zheng in embarrassment.
"You, have you forgotten what your sister told you to do?"
Gu Zheng also felt rather helpless. Meow Meow was a white cat, so she was naturally mischievous. Sometimes, she would quickly forget the words spoken, especially the unimportant ones. It was like a kitten fishing, easily distracted by other things.
On the way from Mount Emei to the plane, he had said the same thing at least three times. As for other places, he had said something wrong at least eight times.
When it was convenient for Meow Meow to make mistakes, the weapon spirit would personally correct her, but now it was not convenient, so the task of reminding Meow Meow fell on Gu Zheng.
"Yes, I remember."
As soon as Gu Zheng mentioned the weapon spirit, Meow Meow quickly stuck out her tongue and picked up a book about etiquette to read. This was a task given to her by the weapon spirit.
Gu Zheng wanted to go to Foggy Wind Island. First, he had to go to a coastal city and find the restaurant Yang Zhenling had mentioned. Then, he had to show the person in charge the token given by Master Yang, and someone would send him to Foggy Wind Island.
In fact, Gu Zheng could have flown directly to the coastal city at night, but this trip could be considered as a training for Meow Meow, so he chose the normal way.
Although Meow Meow's performance was not good, she did not make a fool of herself on the way. It seemed that she had remembered the weapon spirit's words to "speak less and observe more."
When they arrived at the coastal city Yang Zhenling had mentioned, they took a taxi to the restaurant. As soon as Gu Zheng entered, the eyes of a young man in the lobby lit up.
"Sir, is your surname Gu?"
The young man with the name "Lobby Manager" on his chest smiled and walked towards Gu Zheng.
"Yes." Gu Zheng nodded.
"Sir, are you from Mount Emei?"
There were other customers eating in the restaurant, so the lobby manager could not say too much.
After receiving Gu Zheng's nod, the lobby manager smiled and extended both hands to shake Gu Zheng's hand.
"It's been almost a month since the elders told us. You're finally here! You haven't eaten yet, right? Come, let's go to the private room upstairs. We'll talk after we eat. "The lobby manager, also surnamed Yang, was very enthusiastic.
Gu Zheng could not stand other people's enthusiasm and hurriedly declined. "No, I'm in a hurry. I'll go see your elders first."
Seeing Gu Zheng's determined gaze, the lobby manager finally made a phone call.
About five minutes later, a dark and thin man, who looked like he often traveled on the sea, arrived at the restaurant.
"Old Five, send the guest home. He's an honored guest of the elders."
Old Fifth only nodded in response to the manager's instructions. Then, he glanced at Gu Zheng and the others before walking out.
The lobby manager smiled apologetically. "Old Five is a man of few words. Just follow him. When you come back, be sure to come back to the restaurant. I'll have the chef cook a few good dishes … "
Gu Zheng and Meow Meow had already walked out of the restaurant, but they still heard the lobby manager's unfinished words.
"Sir, can you stand the enthusiasm just now?"
Meow Meow, who had been silent for a while, turned to look at Gu Zheng and asked.
According to the device spirit's request, Meow Meow called Gu Zheng either master or young master, but Gu Zheng really could not stand it, especially in front of others. Meow Meow also suggested that they call him big brother, but Gu Zheng also felt uncomfortable with this title. So, he simply modernized it, and came to be called "Sir" by Meow Meow.
"I can't stand it. I hope it won't be like this when we go to their Foggy Wind Island," Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"I'm so enthusiastic about you, but you don't know what's good for you!"
Old Five seemed a little angry as he turned to speak to Gu Zheng and Meow Meow.
"How can you say that?"
In front of Gu Zheng, Meow Meow seemed to be well-behaved, but in front of outsiders, she was definitely not a good person. Her instantaneous reaction was as if her hair was about to explode.
Moreover, Meow Meow's reaction had happened more than once during this trip. At the airport, when someone accidentally bumped into Gu Zheng and did not apologize, she immediately grabbed that person's arm. If Gu Zheng had not stopped her in time, she would have thrown that person at least ten meters away in public.
As for what she had said to the blonde passenger on the plane with a stern face, Gu Zheng did not think that she had simply realized that she had said something wrong and wanted to make up for it. In Gu Zheng's opinion, her words had an element of threat, and even in her heart, she really wanted to chop that person into pieces.
Meow Meow's anger not only scared Old Five, but also attracted the attention of passersby.
"You don't like to talk much, do you? If we keep talking to you, will you be annoyed? If so, then that's right. What you think is good may not be needed by others. "
Although Gu Zheng did not like being stared at, he still coldly scolded Old Five before reaching out to pinch Meow Meow's nose.
Old Five did not say anything, but turned and walked forward. When Gu Zheng pinched her nose, the anger on Meow Meow's face disappeared. She lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong and walked forward beside Gu Zheng.
Old Five was a person who did not like to talk, and Meow Meow's scolding and Gu Zheng's reprimand made him even more silent. After driving the speedboat for more than five hours on the sea, he did not say a word.
"Sir, I think there's something strange about Old Five."
Meow Meow, who had been sitting next to Gu Zheng and had not said a word, suddenly said in a low voice.
"Why do you say that?" Gu Zheng smiled.
"I feel that his face is gloomy, as if he's plotting something against us," Meow Meow said in a low voice.
"We scolded him on the way here, so it's inevitable that he's angry at us. As for plotting something, do we have to be afraid of him? After all, he's not even a cultivator, just a mortal. "
As soon as Gu Zheng finished speaking, Old Five suddenly changed the direction of the speedboat, and it tilted as it made a sharp turn. According to Old Five's calculations, the two people behind him would definitely be thrown into the water. However, when he looked back, the two people on the speedboat were still sitting there, smiling coldly at him.
"You're courting death!"
Meow Meow shouted and waved her hand, and Old Five's body was immobilized.
Gu Zheng looked back at the place where the speedboat had made a sharp turn, and there were a few sharks with their dorsal fins out of the water.
"You're quite ruthless. You want to bury us in the fish's belly? Don't you know that we're not ordinary people? "
Gu Zheng was speechless. Old Five was from Foggy Wind Island, and he wanted to use such a method to plot against them. He really did not know how to evaluate him.
"What's there to be proud of? Aren't you cultivators? It seems that your cultivation is a little high, and you didn't fall in. You all deserve to die, all of you! "
Old Five was controlled by an unknown force, but he was not afraid. Instead, he gritted his teeth at Gu Zheng.
"I think you're the one who deserves to die!"
Meow Meow frowned and waved her hand again. Old Five immediately flew out of the speedboat and was about to fall into the area full of sharks.
"Stop, I have something to ask."
Meow Meow immediately stopped when she heard Gu Zheng's shout, but Old Five's leg had already fallen into the water. A shark with a very fast reaction had already bitten his leg.
"Ah …"
Old Five screamed and his body flew up again, and the shark that had bitten him was still on his leg. However, the shark had bitten his leg from the side. After being taken out of the water, it tore off a piece of flesh from his leg and fell into the sea again.
"Bang!"
Old Five was thrown onto the speedboat by Meow Meow.
"You all deserve to die, you all deserve to die!"
Old Five grimaced in pain, but he still cursed at Gu Zheng and Meow Meow.
"You only have one chance to choose. Do you want to live or die? If you want to live, answer my questions honestly. If you want to die, you can curse all you want! "
In Gu Zheng's opinion, Old Five was an unreasonable person. It was better to be simple and direct when talking to an unreasonable person. That being said, Gu Zheng did not want to kill people so easily. He waved his hand and cast a calming spell on Old Five.
The most basic function of the calming spell was to calm people down. Old Five, who had been agitated, immediately calmed down.
When people were angry, they could do things impulsively without considering the consequences. However, when they calmed down, they were completely different.
Old Five, who had calmed down, was no longer as angry as before. However, he burst into tears and slapped his own face as he cried.
"You're still not done yet!"
Gu Zheng frowned and cast the calming spell again. Old Five's grief was dispelled, and he could no longer squeeze out a tear. He looked at Gu Zheng with a gaze that gradually changed from surprise to fear.
"Answer my question. Do you want to live or die?" Gu Zheng asked coldly.
"I want to live. I can't die yet. I still have a wife and children!" Old Five, who had completely calmed down, begged Gu Zheng.
"Now you're thinking about your wife and children?"
Gu Zheng snorted. "Tell me, why are you doing this to us?"
"If I tell you, will you really spare my life? Don't lower yourself to my level, okay? I don't even know how to read. I'm begging you! "
Old Five lay in the cabin and kowtowed to Gu Zheng.
"As long as you answer me honestly, I'll spare your life."
As soon as Gu Zheng finished speaking, he crushed a healing pill and waved it gently. The powder stuck to Old Five's leg, which was missing a piece of flesh, and the bleeding stopped immediately.
Seeing that Gu Zheng was treating his injury, Old Five did not waste any more time and quickly told him the reason why he was doing this.
There was only one sect on Foggy Wind Island, the Heaven Will Faction. However, there were also ordinary people who were not members of the Heaven Will Faction living on the island. Old Five belonged to this category.
On the entire Foggy Wind Island, there were only slightly more than 2,000 members of the Heaven Will Faction and ordinary people. This number was even smaller than some villages on the mainland. In such an environment, even an ordinary citizen would be inextricably linked to the Heaven's Will Faction. After all, there were too few people on the island. Perhaps a relative of a citizen might be a member of the Heaven's Will Faction.
Old Five's uncle was a deacon of the Heaven Will Faction. It was because of this relationship that he was able to get such a job, such as fetching people to the island or transporting supplies.
Old Five's parents died when he was young. He and his sister had been following his uncle since then.
Foggy Wind Island was not peaceful. More than 300 years ago, a monster from the sea suddenly came to Foggy Wind Island. After a reign of terror, the people of the Heaven Will Faction were no match for the monster and finally compromised. From then on, the Heaven Will Faction had to offer a virgin girl to the monster every 10 years to ensure the peace of Foggy Wind Island.
This story sounded like a folklore, but it really happened on Foggy Wind Island.
