"If you don't do immortal fruit cultivation, you can still do elemental core cultivation and elemental increasing cultivation. This will also allow you to accumulate experience and give you inspiration. It will allow you to lay the foundation for immortal grade cultivation in the future," the artifact spirit said.
"After completing the breakthrough in food cultivation, there are only fifty mid-grade immortal essence pills left. With some other supplementary ingredients, I can barely make another elemental core cultivation. But without the elemental gathering array in the Heavenly Conch Grotto treasure, and the immortal essence in the air is not up to standard, I really don't know when I'll be able to do it again! "Gu Zheng smiled wryly.
"It's fine. The immortal essence in the air is recovering. It won't take long to reach the standard."
"No, another seal is unstable. I have to go and maintain it!"
Following the artifact spirit's words, Meow Meow turned into a gust of wind and dashed towards the sealed Killing Moves.
"Let's go! This isn't the place to talk. It's time to leave Heavenly Conch Grotto, "the artifact spirit said.
Gu Zheng nodded and walked towards the corner of the immortal formation's core. There was a direct path out of Heavenly Conch Grotto here.
There were three important triple immortal formations in Heavenly Conch Grotto. At the core of these three triple immortal formations was the elemental gathering array, which was related to the entire Heavenly Conch Grotto treasure.
If only one of the three Elemental Gathering Formations still existed, then the Heavenly Snail Grotto's treasures wouldn't have changed. But now that all three Elemental Gathering Formations had been broken, the treasures in the Heavenly Snail Grotto had become a land of death! If one wanted to enter or leave the Heavenly Conch Grotto treasure, the traditional path would no longer work.
Following Mo Xiang's instructions, Gu Zheng quickly used his immortal energy to force out a light formation in the corner of the immortal formation's core.
After manipulating the light formation, a strange sound came from the ground, and an immortal formation platform covered in runes emerged from the ground.
"Meow Meow, let's go!"
Gu Zheng called. When Meow Meow came over, the two stepped onto the immortal formation platform.
The immortal formation platform was a teleportation immortal formation. After Gu Zheng and Meow Meow stood on it, the runes on it lit up in order and finally turned into a blinding white light.
"Gu gu du du …"
Suddenly, huge bubbles appeared on the surface of the sea. Gu Zheng and Meow Meow, who had disappeared from the immortal teleportation array, emerged from the sea.
Like a dragon emerging from the sea, Gu Zheng soared into the sky with Meow Meow in tow, flying toward the nearest mountain.
It was night time. Although the night was dark, Gu Zheng could still tell that this place was not far from the Black Sky Snail Sect.
"Since we appeared here, we might as well settle the score with the Black Sky Snail Faction." Gu Zheng sneered.
"Sir, are we going to deal with them now?" Meow Meow asked.
"I won't go now. My cultivation base has been advancing a little too quickly recently. I'll find a place to rest for a day and wait until tomorrow night."
As they spoke, Gu Zheng and Meow Meow flew to the top of the mountain. It didn't take much effort for them to carve out a cave abode on the mountain. After setting down a restriction at the entrance, Gu Zheng calmly stabilized his cultivation base.
A day later, Gu Zheng, who seemed to be in a deep sleep, opened his eyes on time. The first thing he saw was Meow Meow, who was looking at him with its chin resting on its hand.
"Sir!"
Seeing Gu Zheng suddenly wake up, Meow Meow's face flushed red, as if it had been caught doing something naughty.
"Mm."
Gu Zheng smiled. He stood up and pinched Meow Meow's cheek.
Stretching his body, Gu Zheng felt that his entire body was filled with energy. There was an indescribable feeling of refreshment.
"Sir, how's the stabilization of your cultivation base?" Meow Meow asked.
"Almost there. Once we return to the sect, I'll spend a week meditating. There should be no problem at all," Gu Zheng said.
"What are we doing now? Going to the Black Sky Snail Sect? "Meow Meow asked.
"Not yet. You contributed a lot to the trip to the Heavenly Snail Cavern. I'll fulfill my promise to you first. "
With a wave of his hand, Gu Zheng took out the immortal kitchen utensils from the Void Dimension.
"Wow! Sir, you're going to cook for me? "Meow Meow was overjoyed.
"Not only will I cook for you, but I'll cook something you've never eaten before!" Gu Zheng laughed.
"That's great!" Looking at the ingredients Gu Zheng took out, Meow Meow asked excitedly, "Do you need me to help you, sir?"
"Sure! Take care of this, this, and this! "
Gu Zheng pointed at a few ingredients that needed to be processed.
"Okay!"
Meow Meow agreed happily. The two immediately got to work.
They hadn't had a proper meal since entering the Heavenly Snail Cavern. The reason Gu Zheng was cooking now was not only to fulfill his promise to Meow Meow, but also to reward himself.
Gu Zheng added an appropriate amount of Earthvein Spring Water to the immortal rice, then added a few drops of Queen Bee Flower nectar. With the addition of Queen Bee Flower nectar, the steamed immortal rice tasted even better. This was Gu Zheng and Meow Meow's main meal for the day.
"Huff huff …" Meow Meow sniffed the sweet scent of nectar in the air. "Sir, when I ate your steamed rice before, you didn't put nectar in it!"
"In the past, I didn't have enough ingredients, so the food I made for you was mostly simple. Now it's different. We have more than enough ingredients, so when we eat, we should be more extravagant! Take the Queen Bee Flower nectar for example. My Lightning Bees can collect a kilogram every ten days. Now that I've stored a few kilograms, eating a little is nothing. "
As soon as Gu Zheng finished speaking, a white jade root dipped in the Queen Bee Flower nectar appeared in his hand. He stuffed it into Meow Meow's mouth.
"Crunch!"
A sound similar to that of a radish was heard. The fresh and crisp white jade root, coupled with the sweet and enchanting Queen Bee Flower nectar, made Meow Meow squint its eyes in bliss.
Now that the main meal was ready, Gu Zheng was going to cook two dishes and a soup.
The soup was a relatively ordinary egg drop soup. Gu Zheng had made it before, but it hadn't been as extravagant as this time.
The mid-grade eggs, sesame oil, and salt were all raised from the ordinary grade by Gu Zheng. Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem Middle-class ocean flower from the untainted space, ordinary seaweed from Foggy Wind Island, ordinary shrimps skin, and ordinary blood jade tomato from Blood Tide Island were all made into a soup by Gu Zheng.
The two dishes Gu Zheng was going to cook had never been cooked before.
The first dish was Fried Fish Cake.
The tender Ice Water Yellow Croaker was chopped up by Gu Zheng after removing the bones. Then, he mixed the fish thoroughly with egg, flour, salt, and a small amount of sugar.
"Meow Meow, do you want something spicy?" Gu Zheng looked at Meow Meow, who was swallowing its saliva.
If Meow Meow was asked what kind of meat it liked the most, it would undoubtedly be fish.
Meow Meow wiped the saliva from the corner of its mouth and hurriedly nodded in embarrassment.
In the past, Gu Zheng rarely used spices when cooking. Apart from the fact that the spices were not of a high grade, another important reason was that he wanted to highlight the taste of the ingredients themselves.
Gu Zheng was growing and changing. If it could be said that highlighting the taste of the ingredients was a hobby of his, then the current him was more than happy to try adding spices and other supplementary ingredients to his food. Moreover, Gu Zheng had a lot of spices and seasonings stored, and almost all of them were of the ordinary grade. Some of them were contributed by Kunlun Sect, Foggy Wind Island, and Blood Tide Island.
Putting the ordinary grade Sea Pepper Powder into the fish paste, Gu Zheng mixed it again and used an immortal technique to turn the fish paste into small fish the length of a finger.
When the oil in the wok was heated to a suitable temperature, Gu Zheng put the small fish into the wok to fry. The fresh smell of the fish immediately filled the air, causing Meow Meow to salivate.
The second dish Gu Zheng was going to make was called "Stewed Shrimp Balls."
Mincing the ordinary grade Ice Water Lobster, he mixed it with egg white, sea pollen, beef tendon powder, and a little salt to make shrimp balls and roasted them over the fire. Then, he placed the prawn balls into the prepared sweet and sour sauce, and the second dish was ready.
The meal didn't take up too much of Gu Zheng's time, and Meow Meow couldn't stop praising the food as they ate. Even Gu Zheng himself was very satisfied with the meal. After all, he now had a deeper understanding of the Dao of Eating, and the taste of the food was naturally improved as a result.
It was worth mentioning that in the meal Gu Zheng made today, apart from the rice, the two dishes and the soup all had an extremely fragrant transformation phenomenon.
The grade of the ingredients was constantly improving, and so was his cooking skill. For the current Gu Zheng, it was no longer rare for the fragrant transformation phenomenon to occur.
After the meal, Gu Zheng left the cave with Meow Meow, and the two flew in the direction of the Black Sky Snail Sect.
The Black Sky Snail Sect didn't have a protective immortal array, so Gu Zheng and Meow Meow landed in the main hall of the sect.
Gu Zheng released his divine telekinesis to search for traces of Rong Qiu, the sect master of the Black Sky Snail Sect.
"Hey, Rong Qiu isn't in the Black Sky Snail Sect."
After searching for a while, Gu Zheng didn't find any trace of Rong Qiu.
"What do we do now?" Meow Meow asked.
"Although I didn't find Rong Qiu, I found the Black Sky Snail Sect's Grand Elder Leng Feng," Gu Zheng paused, then sneered, "In that case, let's go meet him first!"
Leng Feng had once targeted Gu Zheng in the Red Sky Snail Sect's main hall. After leaving the Red Sky Snail Sect's main hall, he was taught a lesson by an angry Meow Meow. Gu Zheng had some old grudges with him.
Leng Feng was sleeping with his little wife in his arms, so he didn't notice Gu Zheng's divine telekinesis search.
Leng Feng's disciples weren't alerted at all. Even the door to Leng Feng's room was silently opened before Gu Zheng arrived.
"Leng Feng."
Leng Feng was sleeping when he heard someone calling him. He opened his eyes and saw Gu Zheng standing in front of his bed.
"You …"
Leng Feng was no longer sleepy. He wanted to jump up, but found that his body couldn't make any big movements. He tilted his head and saw that his little wife was sleeping like a dead pig. Leng Feng knew that she wasn't asleep, but that someone had done something to her.
"What, what are you doing?"
Leng Feng was really scared this time. This was not the Red Sky Snail Sect, so Gu Zheng didn't have to worry about anything.
"I woke you up because I want to know where you got the guts to go against me that day!"
Gu Zheng wasn't expecting an answer from Leng Feng. He was just greeting him.
Gu Zheng frowned and sent a strand of divine telekinesis into Leng Feng's mind. He was going to use the Guide on Leng Feng.
There were better ways to use it. Gu Zheng didn't want to waste any more time with Leng Feng. As for the aftereffects of the Guide, he didn't care.
After a while, Leng Feng spilled the beans on everything Gu Zheng wanted to know.
There was still a day before the Heavenly Snail Cave closed. Rong Qiu and a few other sect leaders were waiting near the Heavenly Snail Cave.
On this day in the past, there wouldn't be any sect leaders outside the Heavenly Snail Cave. However, it was different this year. Due to the abnormality in the Heavenly Snail Cave, these sect leaders had no choice but to observe.
The abnormality in the Heavenly Snail Cave was huge because it had collapsed. The huge entrance to the Heavenly Snail Cave had been completely buried.
Leng Feng didn't understand the cause of the abnormality, but Gu Zheng knew very well that this was the result of Meow Meow breaking the three Yuan Gathering Arrays.
"I thought that the injury from the Guide would be the final punishment for you. However, it seems that this punishment is still too light."
"Hehe."
Leng Feng, who was confused by the Guide, could only laugh foolishly in the face of Gu Zheng's cold words.
"You really deserve to die for colluding with the Demon Sect!"
Gu Zheng frowned again. His divine telekinesis had caused fatal damage to Leng Feng's brain. Leng Feng, whose brain was dead, was so quiet that it was as if he was asleep.
Leng Feng had indeed colluded with the Demon Sect. This was also why he dared to go against Gu Zheng. He was also the one who brought Witch Doctor Qiao Shan to Blood Tide Island. Unfortunately, Gu Zheng didn't learn much about the Demon Sect from Leng Feng.
Now that Leng Feng was dead, Gu Zheng's next step was naturally to clean up the battlefield.
Although he didn't get many resources from Leng Feng, Gu Zheng did get a low-level immortal weapon. It was a replica of the Nine-Colored Phantom Sonic Conch.
These people in the Black Sky Snail Sect were either colluding with the Demon Sect or the Sacred Blood Sect. It wouldn't be too much to wipe them out.
However, Gu Zheng didn't do that. He wasn't a homicidal maniac. He planned to report this matter to the Kunlun Sect later and let them deal with it as they saw fit.
Although Gu Zheng didn't want to kill too many people, since he knew the location of the Black Sky Snail Sect's treasure vault from Leng Feng, he naturally wouldn't let it go.
The Black Sky Snail Sect's treasure vault was in a secret room. Gu Zheng easily found the room and broke the restriction on the door.
The Black Sky Snail Sect didn't have many people, but they were definitely wealthier than the sects in the mainland. In their treasure vault, there was a two-meter-long wooden box full of cultivation resources.
However, most of these cultivation resources weren't of a high grade. The ordinary ones were pretty good. As for the mid-grade ingredients, there were only two in the huge box. There wasn't a single item above the mid-grade.
After ransacking the Black Sky Snail Sect's treasure vault, Gu Zheng and Meow Meow took off again.
"Sir, where are we going now?" Meow Meow asked.
"Rong Qiu definitely won't come back tonight. I don't want to go to the Black Sky Snail Cave to look for him. Since we have some time, let's take care of another matter first. We'll come back tomorrow morning to take back the nine-story pagoda," Gu Zheng said.
"Sir, what matter are you talking about?" Meow Meow asked curiously.
"Confiscation!" Gu Zheng said lightly.
