Lian Yuxin was already refining a Celestial Artifact, and Gu Zheng did not disturb her. After playing Purgatory for a while in the cultivation room, he became a little bored.
"Since there's nothing to do here, let me see what kind of injury you have!"
Gu Zheng, who was bored to death, looked at Linghu Fei, who was standing motionless in the cultivation room.
According to Lian Yuxin, Linghu Fei's brain was injured. Even if it could be cured, he was already a cripple.
After carefully examining Linghu Fei's body, Gu Zheng discovered that Linghu Fei's brain was indeed injured. This injury was caused by Lian Yuxin using a method similar to Soul Searching. It was a kind of permanent injury.
According to common sense, Linghu Fei was indeed like what Lian Yuxin said. Even if he was cured, he was already a cripple. The reason why he could still walk and stand now was completely because of Lian Yuxin's witchcraft.
After understanding what kind of injury Linghu Fei had suffered, Gu Zheng wanted to give up on examining his body. However, when his Divine Thought was about to leave Linghu Fei's body, Linghu Fei suddenly lost control. His body could not help but tremble, and he even let out unconscious cries!
Lian Yuxin was refining a Celestial Artifact in the crafting room. This process was very taboo to be disturbed. Gu Zheng also understood that Linghu Fei's abnormality was completely caused by his Divine Thought investigating the indiscernible injury in Linghu Fei's brain.
Gu Zheng casually used the Mind Calming Technique on Linghu Fei. Although Linghu Fei's brain was injured, since he still had such unconscious emotional fluctuations, the Mind Calming Technique could work and quickly calm him down.
Linghu Fei was indeed quiet, but Gu Zheng's eyes widened in an instant.
Gu Zheng was using a strand of Divine Thought to examine Linghu Fei's body. When a strand of Divine Thought left his body, it did not affect him at all. Just now, when he used the Mind Calming Technique on Linghu Fei, his strand of Divine Thought was still in Linghu Fei's brain.
The use of the Mind Calming Technique calmed Linghu Fei down. At the same time, it also caused the injured part of Linghu Fei's brain to emit a faint light.
Although it was only a faint light, in the eyes of Gu Zheng's Divine Thought, the effect was equivalent to a bolt of lightning that suddenly appeared in the dark sky. It was very bright, and it meandered like a dragon, forming a mysterious pattern.
Gu Zheng only felt something in his mind. That wondrous bolt of lightning seemed to be fixed in his eyes.
"It can't be?"
Although he did not know what exactly Gu Zheng's Divine Thought, the Weapon Spirit could feel that he was in a strange state.... This wasn't the first time the Artifact Spirit had seen him in this state. If this wasn't the so-called 'enlightenment', then what was it?
"I'm really speechless. You're actually enlightened just by checking other people's injuries? I want to see what you can comprehend! "The artifact spirit thought to himself.
Gu Zheng was indeed in a state of enlightenment. The lightning that had been in front of him suddenly came to life! It was born again and again from the starting point. Every time, it looked different. Some were as simple as a straight line, some were as complicated as the veins of a leaf, and some were as bright as fireworks.
The lightning was born again and again, attracting Gu Zheng to explore and discover it.
Gu Zheng's heart skipped a beat. He used the Mind Calming Technique on the lightning. When the originally spherical lightning encountered the Mind Calming Technique, it silently exploded into a blinding white light that filled the sky.
Gu Zheng, who was smiling, woke up from his state of enlightenment. Another fruit had been born on the tree of his Mind Calming Technique.
"How was it? What did you comprehend? "
The Weapon Spirit asked hurriedly when he saw that Gu Zheng had woken up.
"I comprehended an Immortal Technique!"
Gu Zheng's voice paused for a moment before he continued, "Although it's not an offensive Celestial Art, it's not a Celestial Art that I should possess at my current level!"
"What Immortal Technique is it? Don't keep me in suspense! "
Spiritual Immortal Techniques were not like physical Immortal Techniques. Even if the Weapon Spirit was in Gu Zheng's body, he still could not discover it.
"I learned it from you!"
Gu Zheng laughed at the Weapon Spirit and then said, "Soul Search!"
"Huh? You actually comprehended the Soul Search that only Jin Xian could comprehend at his level? "
The Weapon Spirit had a strange expression, and then he mocked Gu Zheng. "I thought it was some incredible Immortal Technique! So it's this? It's useless to you! Not only do you have the Introduction, but you also have me to assist you. It's not that difficult for you to know a person's secret! "
Gu Zheng knew that the Weapon Spirit was mocking him on purpose to get back at him for keeping him in suspense.
"Soul Search is very good! It's much more direct than the Introduction, and it's also more convenient and faster than you asking questions for me! "
Gu Zheng was still immersed in the joy of comprehending the Immortal Technique. He did not know that the truth he had said had made the Weapon Spirit unhappy.
"Hmph!"
The artifact spirit coldly snorted and turned away from Gu Zheng.
"Alright!"
Gu Zheng slapped his forehead. "I'm sorry, Weapon Spirit. I didn't mean anything else. I just thought that with the Soul Search, you can rest if you encounter that kind of special situation again …"
Gu Zheng did not finish his words because he realized that it did not seem right to say that.
Sure enough, the Weapon Spirit roared angrily, "Go do your thing!"
"Hehe."
Gu Zheng could only smile and then stop looking at the Weapon Spirit.
Gu Zheng stopped looking at the Weapon Spirit and turned his gaze to Linghu Fei.
"Anyway, I have nothing to do. You're already like this now, so you shouldn't blame me for exploring your secret, right?"
Although he was asking for permission, Gu Zheng had already used the Soul Search on Linghu Fei.
A true Soul Search would not cause any harm as long as the other party did not resist with their Mind Power and as long as the caster did not intend to hurt them.
Linghu Fei was already like this, so he definitely would not resist Gu Zheng with his Mind Power. Therefore, there would not be any harm done.
In less than two minutes, the 198-year-old Linghu Fei's lifetime memories had been flipped through by Gu Zheng. Even the Introduction and the Weapon Spirit's casting could not achieve such a rapid and complete effect.
"Scum!"
"Damn pervert!"
"Bastard!"
After flipping through Linghu Fei's memories, Gu Zheng cursed this Weapon Refining Master who had a good reputation in the cultivation world.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Gu Zheng cursing someone out of character, the Weapon Spirit immediately forgot his previous unhappiness.
Gu Zheng gritted his teeth and said, "This Linghu Fei is really a piece of trash!"
"How is he not a piece of trash?" the Weapon Spirit asked.
"There are some things that I won't go into detail about! In any case, to this guy, taking a little girl to see goldfish and peeping at an old woman bathing are not even worth mentioning! "Gu Zheng said angrily.
"Alright!" the Weapon Spirit did not ask any further.
"No, I can't let him off so easily. I have to make him a good person!" Gu Zheng said hatefully.
"What do you want to do?" the Weapon Spirit asked.
"I want to turn him into another Taoist Master Xian Yun!" Gu Zheng sneered.
To Gu Zheng, turning someone into another Taoist Master Xian Yun was a very cruel thing to do. Only those who had committed heinous crimes could enjoy such treatment. As for Linghu Fei, it was obvious that he had exceeded the standard in some aspects!
If he had not comprehended the Soul Search, it would have been impossible to turn Linghu Fei into another Taoist Master Xian Yun because the injuries that Lian Yuxin had inflicted on him were permanent.
However, Lian Yuxin had once said, "Unless your strength has reached the level of Jin Xian," and she was referring to the Soul Search that only Jin Xian could use!
Lian Yuxin's method of injuring Linghu Fei was very similar to the Soul Search, but it was still far inferior.
Gu Zheng used the Soul Search to heal the injuries that Lian Yuxin had inflicted on Linghu Fei. As he healed, he also deleted Linghu Fei's irrelevant memories.
Linghu Fei's original injuries had been completely healed, and his irrelevant memories had all been deleted. Gu Zheng then used Fabricate and began to reconstruct Linghu Fei's life.
Nine hours later, Linghu Fei's life was basically reconstructed. He was still Linghu Fei, but his other identity was Gu Zheng's master's servant. Not long ago, Linghu Fei had just met his old master. When he found out that the young master needed assistance, he deliberately waited at Zhang Long Mountain to meet the young master.
"Rumble …"
A strange sound came from the crafting room.
"Linghu Fei, what's going on?" Gu Zheng, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, asked without opening his eyes.
"Young master, this is the sound that is naturally produced when the Divine Artifact is about to be completed! Judging from the strength of this sound, the Divine Artifact that Lian Yuxin is refining should have reached the middle grade! "Linghu Fei whispered.
Although his life had been reconstructed, Linghu Fei's professional knowledge was still there. Not only did he know what this sound meant, but he also knew that Lian Yuxin could not be disturbed at this time.
After the strange sound in the crafting room, Lian Yuxin sent a telepathic message to Gu Zheng that the Divine Artifact had been successfully refined.
Gu Zheng came to the crafting room. Lian Yuxin, who had been working tirelessly for five hours, was resting with her eyes closed. The brand new Fire Avoidance Crown was placed on the stone table next to her, flashing with a faint light.
The original Fire Avoidance Crown was golden in color and looked very much like a crown.
The Fire Avoidance Crown was now purple-gold in color, and it was much smaller than before. From its appearance, it looked like a wide-brimmed headband. There were dense patterns on it, and it was inlaid with Dragon Blood Crystals that were also smaller in size.
The dense patterns on the Fire Avoidance Crown were not for the sake of looking good. They were runes that were carved by craftsmen to enhance the power of the Divine Artifact. They could also be considered as a kind of formation pattern.
"Not bad. It is indeed a middle grade Divine Artifact, and it is much better than I imagined!"
Gu Zheng had already recognized the Divine Artifact as its master. He was very satisfied with the Divine Artifact's Divine Ability and the greatly improved energy efficiency of the Dragon Blood Crystals.
"Of course! I am a Second Grade Equipment Crafting Grandmaster, Lian Yuxin. How can the Divine Artifact that I refine be bad? "Lian Yuxin said.
Equipment Crafting Grandmasters were divided into three grades. A Third Grade Equipment Crafting Grandmaster could refine a middle grade Divine Artifact. A Second Grade Equipment Crafting Grandmaster could refine a high grade Divine Artifact. A First Grade Equipment Crafting Grandmaster could refine a top grade Divine Artifact.
Linghu Fei, whose cultivation was at the Middle Stage of Qi Refining, was considered a Third Grade Equipment Crafting Grandmaster.
A Third Grade Equipment Crafting Grandmaster could refine a middle grade Divine Artifact and modify it. For example, what Gu Zheng asked Lian Yuxin to do belonged to the category of Divine Artifact modification. However, when it came to modifying a Divine Artifact, a Third Grade Equipment Crafting Grandmaster still seemed to struggle, especially when it came to modifying a middle grade Divine Artifact.
Gu Zheng did not expect Lian Yuxin to be a Second Grade Equipment Crafting Grandmaster.
Compared to a Third Grade Equipment Crafting Grandmaster, a Second Grade Equipment Crafting Grandmaster could modify a middle grade Divine Artifact with ease! Moreover, a Second Grade Equipment Crafting Grandmaster could repair a damaged Divine Artifact. This was a strength that a Third Grade Equipment Crafting Grandmaster did not possess!
"How much do you charge for refining, repairing, and modifying a Divine Artifact like this in the Untainted Land?" Gu Zheng asked.
"Regardless of whether it is refining, repairing, or modifying, a Equipment Crafting Grandmaster usually divides the difficulty into five categories. They are: easy, normal, medium, difficult, and challenging."
"Whether it is refining, repairing, or modifying, they all belong to the category of Equipment Crafting. I only calculate the remuneration according to the difficulty level! For example, for the Easy Level Equipment Crafting Grandmaster, I charge one-twentieth of the total value of the raw materials as remuneration. For the Normal Level Equipment Crafting Grandmaster, I charge one-fifteenth of the total value of the raw materials as remuneration. For the Medium Level Equipment Crafting Grandmaster, I charge one-tenth of the total value of the raw materials as remuneration. For the Difficult Level Equipment Crafting Grandmaster, I charge one-fifth of the total value of the raw materials as remuneration. For the Challenging Level Equipment Crafting Grandmaster, I charge one-half of the total value of the raw materials as remuneration. "
"Of course, these remuneration are based on the success of the refinement. For example, for the Divine Artifact that the Sect Leader asked me to modify, I defined its difficulty level as Difficult. If it was in the Untainted Land, I would charge one-fifth of the total value of the raw materials as remuneration! "
Lian Yuxin explained in detail her remuneration standards for Equipment Crafting Grandmaster.
"No wonder Alchemists and Equipment Crafting Grandmasters are very rich! For example, for the Divine Artifact that you helped me to refine, if I had to pay one-fifth of the total value of the raw materials as remuneration, then you could have stayed in business for three years and lived off it for three years! "Gu Zheng said with emotion.
"Business is hard to do! Due to many reasons, this remuneration is not something that can't be negotiated! "Lian Yuxin sighed.
"Even so, Equipment Crafting Grandmasters are still very rich!"
Gu Zheng's voice paused for a moment, then he continued, "Now that you are a disciple of Emei Sect, according to our rules, cultivators are Taishang Elders! If you open your business, how much are you prepared to give to the sect? "
"If I help my fellow sect members refine equipment, of course it's free. If I help an outsider refine equipment, it's still the same standard as before." Lian Yuxin bit her lips and looked at Gu Zheng with a pitiful expression, "As for how I want to give the sect a share of the profits, it's up to the Sect Leader to decide!"
"As a Taishang Elder of a sect, you are naturally the most important existence. If there are any benefits, you will definitely be the first to receive them. As for the share, the sect wants one-third of your profits! "Gu Zheng said.
"Alright! One-third it is! "
For Lian Yuxin, one-third was already a very favorable ratio. She originally thought that if Gu Zheng could give her a fifty-fifty share, she would already be very satisfied. After all, she was forced to join Emei Sect by Gu Zheng. It was more or less a situation where she was the meat on his chopping block.
"Crunch!"
Lian Yuxin, who was sitting cross-legged and adjusting her breath, let out a crisp sound from her mouth. A sweet smell floated in the air.
Habitually eating a fruit at a fixed time, Lian Yuxin immediately regretted it because she found that Gu Zheng was staring at her with a hint of excitement in his eyes.
"He, he can't be thinking of doing Dual Cultivation with me, right? What if he really wants to do this? What should I do? What should I do? "
Lian Yuxin was really panicking. Her heart was clenched. She simply didn't dare to look into Gu Zheng's eyes. She subconsciously took out another fruit from her storage belt and handed it to Gu Zheng with trembling hands.
"Sect Leader, you, you want to eat it?"
After saying this, Lian Yuxin wanted to slap herself. She hoped that Gu Zheng didn't want to do Dual Cultivation with her. She also hoped that Gu Zheng didn't know what this fruit was.
"It's a pure Yin item that nourishes Yin. Why would I eat it?"
After saying this, Gu Zheng already understood what Lian Yuxin's abnormal reaction was, so he shook his head and smiled. "You think too much."
After hearing Gu Zheng's words, Lian Yuxin finally dared to raise her head and look at him. However, she still didn't believe it in her heart.
"Fairy Fruit. It can make a woman's curves more perfect, make a woman's appearance more beautiful, and make a woman's physique more suitable for dual cultivation. It's a rare item that nourishes yin!" Gu Zheng said seriously.
Hearing that Gu Zheng really knew about the Fairy Fruit, Lian Yuxin's face turned red.
"Let me check your cultivation!" Gu Zheng said.
"Ah?"
Lian Yuxin widened her eyes and subconsciously stepped back a little.
"Is it really as simple as checking my cultivation? But why do you want to check my cultivation? "Lian Yuxin asked herself.
Gu Zheng, who didn't want to explain, immediately sent a wisp of his divine sense into Lian Yuxin's body.
Lian Yuxin's body suddenly straightened, and she seemed very nervous. However, things didn't go in the direction she didn't want. Gu Zheng's divine sense only went around her dantian once before immediately retreating.
"Very good. Your cultivation is already about to reach the late Void Return stage. I'll give you an opportunity!"
"Ah?"
Looking at the unusually excited Gu Zheng and seeing him take out items from his spatial immortal tool, Lian Yuxin's eyes widened.
"What are these? Eggs? Why did he take out eggs? "
Lian Yuxin was very puzzled. However, when Gu Zheng took out the immortal tool and kitchen utensils, and then thought about Gu Zheng saying that he would give her an opportunity, Lian Yuxin's heart thumped violently.
"Sect Master, you, you're an Immortal Chef?"
Lian Yuxin felt that it was very inconceivable. However, other than his identity as an Immortal Chef, she really couldn't think of anything else! However, Earth was in the age of decline. In this era, were there really Immortal Chefs?
"You know about Immortal Chefs?" Gu Zheng asked.
"I know. In the South Continent, there are several Immortal Kitchen Stores. I once tasted the food in one of them," Lian Yuxin said.
"Oh? About the Immortal Kitchen Store, tell me more about it, "Gu Zheng said as he packed up the ingredients.
"It's about the Immortal Kitchen Store!"
Lian Yuxin swallowed her saliva and immediately told him about the Immortal Kitchen Store.
The Immortal Kitchen Store Lian Yuxin went to was not the best in the South Continent. In Gu Zheng's eyes, the Immortal Kitchen Store she went to was very bad.
At that time, Lian Yuxin ordered two dishes in the Immortal Kitchen Store. The ingredients used to cook those two dishes were enough for Gu Zheng to make a mid-grade Immortal Fruit Store!
However, the amount of Celestial Origin Energy Lian Yuxin obtained after eating the two dishes was not even comparable to the amount of Celestial Origin Energy Gu Zheng had cooked.
Even so, Lian Yuxin still gave Immortal Chefs a very high evaluation, saying that they had the ability to turn something rotten into something magical. She said that those two dishes were the best delicacies she had ever tasted in her life.
