Gu Zheng was very busy in the kitchen. Delicious dishes were constantly being produced by his hands.
Finally, most of the dishes were done. All that was left was the spirit beast food that Master Xin Jing ordered and the dish that Hai Yun Master ordered.
"Only one dish and one dish are left. Which dish does Sect Leader want to make first?" Lian Yuxin asked.
"Let's make Hai Yun Master's dish first! Master Xin Jing wasn't in a hurry to leave. When I delivered the dish to him, he seemed to have something to say. "
Master Xin Jing ordered four dishes, a soup, and a main dish. The last dish was delivered by Gu Zheng. At that time, Master Xin Jing seemed to want to say something to Gu Zheng, but seeing that Gu Zheng was very busy, he didn't say anything.
Hai Yun Master's dish had a total of six ingredients. Four of them were middle grade ingredients, while the other two were normal grade.
The four middle grade ingredients were: Jade Spirit Pearl, Morning Sun Fungus, Snow Bear Heart, and Golden Crow Grass.
The two normal grade ingredients were: Mount Tai Fairy Pine Nuts, and Hundred Night Flower.
When he saw the ingredients, Gu Zheng already knew how to cook this dish.
However, Gu Zheng wouldn't force out all the medicinal effects of this dish. If he did, then it would already be a middle grade energy increasing dish. How would he do business in the future? Therefore, Gu Zheng set the effect of this dish to be similar to that of a low-grade elemental energy increasing food.
Grind the Jade Spirit Pearl into powder.
Soak the Morning Sun Fungus, Snow Bear Heart, and Mount Tai Fairy Pine Nuts in cold and warm water respectively.
Golden Crow Grass, and Hundred Night Flower.
Add the powder of the Jade Spirit Pearl, Mount Tai Fairy Pine Nuts, and Hundred Leaf Grass into a soup.
After heating up the wok, Gu Zheng first stir-fried the Snow Bear Heart, then added the shredded Morning Sun Fungus. After stir-frying for a while, he added salt and continued to stir-fry.
The aroma became stronger. It was the unique aroma of the Morning Sun Fungus and the Snow Bear's Heart, which was different from ordinary meat. It made people want to take a few deep breaths.
"Rumble …"
Lian Yuxin, who was standing at the entrance of the kitchen, felt her stomach growl.
"Are you hungry?"
Gu Zheng asked without turning his head.
"Yes! With such a fragrant dish, it would be strange if I wasn't hungry. The fragrance of the mushrooms combined with the fragrance of the meat … Tsk, tsk, tsk … "Lian Yuxin indulged in her fantasy.
"Did you add a bowl of divine rice with some lightning honey in your fantasy?" Gu Zheng asked with a smile.
"Yes, of course!"
The rice provided today was just ordinary immortal rice. There was no lightning honey to make the taste more outstanding. Now that Gu Zheng mentioned this kind of rice that they often ate internally, Lian Yuxin suddenly felt even hungrier.
"After this dish is done, there is only one food dish left. Once the food dish is done, I will make a working meal for you," Gu Zheng said.
"Alright, alright!"
Lian Yuxin nodded hurriedly. Not only was she hungry, but also Sister Yang and Jia Si in the outer room. When the dishes were served, they deliberately didn't look at the plates, but they couldn't help being attracted.
"By the way, Sect Master, what's the name of this dish?" Lian Yuxin asked.
"Let's call it 'Mount Tai Golden Crow'!" Gu Zheng said.
The Snow Bear Heart and Morning Sun Mushrooms were already fried. After Gu Zheng took them out of the pot and placed them on a plate, he added the soup made from Jade Spirit Pearl Powder, Mount Tai Fairy Pine Nuts, and Hundred Night Grass. Then, he added the torn Golden Crow Grass and placed it in the steamer.
The Fire Manipulation Art, Water Manipulation Art, and Wood Manipulation Art were used one after another. The rich fragrance in the steamer had a new change, making it even more tempting.
After about a minute, Gu Zheng opened the steamer. The steam that was originally covering the steamer immediately entered the food on the plate.
Without needing Gu Zheng to say anything, Lian Yuxin immediately took the food and quickly left the kitchen to deliver it to Hai Yun Master and the others.
Dishes like this were usually very hot when they were taken out of the pot. Since the Extreme Fragrance only appeared for a short time, Lian Yuxin would deliver it herself or give it to Jia Si who wasn't busy outside.
When Lian Yuxin placed the dish in the Blue Sea Pavilion, the Extreme Fragrance appeared in front of Hai Yun Master and Daoist Yu Yan.
"What's the name of this dish?" Daoist Yu Yan asked.
"Mount Tai Golden Crow!" Lian Yuxin said.
"Mount Tai Golden Crow? Good, good Mount Tai Golden Crow! "
Hai Yun Master laughed. After all, he came from the Mount Tai Sect. He liked the name 'Mount Tai Golden Crow' very much.
"Fellow Daoist Lian, I wonder what's the standard fee for helping you refine or repair immortal tools?" Daoist Yu Yan asked.
"Today is the opening of the Extreme Fragrance Pavilion. If there's anything else, we'll talk about it later. Excuse me!" Lian Yuxin faintly smiled and left the Blue Sea Pavilion.
"Is this the so-called Extreme Fragrance Transformation?"
Hai Yun Master looked at the golden crow-shaped ball of air that was jumping around on the food on the plate with great interest.
"How mysterious. Why would the fragrance in the food transform into a shape? Although the Golden Crow Grass also smells good, why would its fragrance increase exponentially in this dish? "Daoist Yu Yan asked in confusion.
"Everything has its own Dao. This Extreme Fragrance Transformation should be the Dao of food. As for the Golden Crow Grass' transformation, it's naturally the work of an Immortal Chef! For example, an herb that originally didn't have much use can become a pill in the hands of an alchemist. "
As Hai Yun Master spoke, he used his chopsticks to touch the small Golden Crow. The small Golden Crow nimbly dodged a few times before disappearing into thin air.
"Delicious!"
"The fishy smell of the Snow Bear's Heart is completely gone. What's left is a slightly soft texture and the fragrance of fried meat."
After eating the Snow Bear's Heart, Hai Yun Master was intoxicated as he commented.
Picking up a piece of Golden Crow Grass that didn't lose its original shape and color after being cooked, Hai Yun Master looked at the three-legged leaf and sighed.
"Even after being cooked, the shape and color of the Golden Crow Grass can still be preserved to this extent. Even though I know that Immortal Chefs have mastered the Dao of food, I still find it unbelievable!"
As he spoke, Hai Yun Master put the Golden Crow Grass' leaf into his mouth.
It didn't have the original bitterness of the Golden Crow Grass. Instead, it had a different kind of fragrance that made people feel very hungry.
The plate of Mount Tai's Golden Crow Grass quickly went down his stomach. Hai Yun Master licked his lips, then closed his eyes and concentrated on absorbing the immortal energy from the dish.
After a while, Hai Yun Master opened his eyes and fiercely stared at Daoist Yu Yan, who was still staring at the plate.
"Look at how useless you are! I just absorbed the immortal energy and your stomach growled seven times. You didn't eat today! "Hai Yun Master said.
Daoist Yu Yan, whose hair and beard were already white, looked at Hai Yun Master with a wronged expression, "Martial Uncle, I did eat today, but I didn't taste the Mount Tai's Golden Crow Grass! Seeing you eat so happily, it's hard for your disciple to not feel hungry. This is human nature! "
"Hmph."
Hai Yun Master coldly snorted and didn't say anything else.
"It's all Sect Leader Gu's fault. Why did he have to make such delicious food? He messed up my Dao Heart! "Daoist Yu Yan fiercely stood up.
"What are you doing?" Hai Yun Master frowned.
"I, I want more food. I'm not full yet!" Daoist Yu Yan said.
"What more food? You're still a Sect Leader. Can you not embarrass yourself? Our Sect doesn't have much resources left. Good steel should be used on the blade. As the Sect Leader, you should set an example! "
Facing Hai Yun Master's scolding, Daoist Yu Yan muttered, "Although our Sect doesn't have much resources, we can still afford to eat a simple meal!"
"Eat, eat, eat, you only know how to eat. You glutton, you ate more than half of the four dishes and one soup. Aren't you embarrassed!"
Hai Yun Master fiercely slapped Daoist Yu Yan on the head. Then, as if he was very angry, he directly closed his eyes and didn't look at Daoist Yu Yan.
Although he was slapped, Daoist Yu Yan was still looking at the plate with a trace of unwillingness in his eyes.
"Hehe."
Daoist Yu Yan smiled, "Martial Uncle, don't be angry. Speaking of which, how is the effect of this Mount Tai Golden Crow dish?"
"The effect is very good. It is much better compared to pill concoction. Thus, I want to wait until we return before going through the resources in the treasure trove. When the Essence Gathering Array in the sect is full of Immortal Essence, we can make a high-grade Essence Increasing Food," said Daoist Yun Hai.
At the same time, Gu Zheng, who had rested for a while, arrived at Pine Pavilion where Master Xin Jing was.
"Master, are you satisfied with today's vegetarian dishes?" Gu Zheng asked with a smile.
"Satisfied, very satisfied! Although a monk shouldn't be greedy for food, Sect Leader Gu's dishes are simply too delicious! "Master Xin Jing said.
"Delicacies pass through the intestines, but the Buddha's heart remains." Gu Zheng laughed.
"Amitabha!"
The few people who came with Master Xin Jing chanted the name of Buddha.
"Master, bring me to take a look at your Lone Wind Wolf!" Gu Zheng said.
Master Xin Jing's Lone Wind Wolf found a quiet corner and stayed there the moment it arrived on Foggy Wind Island. Gu Zheng had not come into close contact with it.
"Why does Sect Leader Gu want to see Lone Wind Wolf?" Xiao Jue asked curiously.
Xiao Jue's Guanyin Temple was not considered big among the many temples in the Buddhist Sect. However, her cultivation level was very high. She was also an experienced cultivator in the later stage of the Void Refinement Realm. She was as famous as Xuan Qizi and Master Yu Feng.
"It seems like Lone Wind Wolf wants to check its body and make the most suitable spiritual beast food for it. After all, Master Xin Jing said that Lone Wind Wolf is about to advance to the Spirit Demon Realm, "Gu Zheng said.
"Thank you, Sect Leader Gu. This way please!" Master Xin Jing said.
The Lone Wind Wolf could be considered a variant of the wolf-type spirit beasts. It was already an immortal level spirit beast, and its current strength was even more powerful than a cultivator at the late stage of the fifth level. It was only a step away from the first realm of demon cultivation, the Spirit Demon Realm. Once it advanced to the Spirit Demon Realm, it would have the possibility of transforming into a human.
Lone Wind Wolf was as big as a calf. It was also Master Xin Jing's mount.
Master Xin Jing had already instructed Lone Wind Wolf. Hence, when Gu Zheng's Divine Thought entered its body, Lone Wind Wolf remained motionless on the ground.
After checking the condition of Lone Wind Wolf's body, Gu Zheng said, "According to the current condition of this wolf's body, a middle-grade spiritual beast food is enough for it to advance to the Spirit Demon Realm. As for whether it can transform into a human, it will depend on its luck. I wonder if Master Xin Jing wants me to make a middle-grade spiritual beast food or a superior-grade spiritual beast food? "
"Being able to advance to the Spirit Demon Realm means that it is fundamentally different from ordinary Spirit Beasts. There is no need to be in such a hurry to cultivate. Since the Earth's Immortal Core Power is recovering, let's just make some middle-grade Spirit Beast Food," said Master Xin Jing.
"Master Xin Jing, you have seen the recipe for the middle-grade spiritual beast food. Are you going to give me the resources or will the Extremely Fragrant Hut provide the resources?" Gu Zheng asked again.
"I don't have any suitable resources here. The Extremely Fragrant Hut will provide all the resources!"
Master Xin Jing paused and then took out a big bag of ingredients. "The resources here are equivalent to 126% of the total value of a middle-grade spiritual beast food. Sect Leader Gu, take a look."
Gu Zheng opened the bag and saw that there were all sorts of resources inside. There were blacksmithing resources, alchemy resources, some ingredients, and a damaged immortal weapon.
After a rough estimation, these resources were equivalent to about 123% of the total value of a middle-grade spiritual beast food.
Although the resources given by Master Xin Jing were not sufficient, Gu Zheng still accepted them. He did not want to take them seriously. Moreover, the estimation of the value of resources was not given to professionals like appraisers. It was normal for there to be some differences in the estimation of two non-professionals.
Actually, the Extremely Fragrant Hut had considered this. There were also professional appraisers in the Extremely Fragrant Hut. However, Gu Zheng still didn't want to be acquainted with Master Xin Jing! After all, the ingredients needed for the spiritual beast food cultivation had been compared to the list of ingredients that Gu Zheng had made. There had been a lot of exaggeration, so he had already profited a lot.
The appraiser of the Extremely Fragrant Hut was naturally Lian Yuxin. She was a blacksmithing master and basically also worked as an appraiser. This kind of person often refined weapons for others, so she naturally knew a lot about all kinds of resources.
Gu Zheng returned to the Extremely Fragrant Hut once again with the resources given by Master Xin Jing.
"Master Xin Jing, I really don't want to take your resources, but I have no other choice!"
Just like the last time, Gu Zheng put away Master Xin Jing's resources in the Chaotic Space. Although his expression was pained, he was laughing in his heart.
Although there were not many ingredients in the resources given by Master Xin Jing, they were still resources. Even if they were not used, they could be placed in the Emei Treasure House and be used by the people of the Emei Sect to exchange for ingredients. Gu Zheng had been doing this ever since he had obtained the treasures of the Kongkong Sect and filled up the Emei Treasure House.
Gu Zheng planned to use two middle-grade resources, six normal-grade resources, and two second-grade resources to make a middle-grade spiritual beast food cultivation.
The two middle-grade ingredients were the Immortal Pork and the Beast Blood Grass. The other six normal-grade ingredients were mostly meat. As for the other two second-grade ingredients, they were the elixirs of the middle-grade spiritual beasts.
He used the Water Control Spell to boil the elixirs of the middle-grade spiritual beasts. Then, he put the Immortal Pork and a few normal-grade ingredients into the soup and stewed them for a while.
He steamed and blanched the other ingredients. Then, he put them together and stir-fried them with the Beast Blood Grass until the aroma filled the air.
He added the stir-fried ingredients into the soup made from the spiritual beasts' elixirs. Then, he put them together with the meat that he had stewed on a large flame and stewed them slowly.
"It smells so good. It's so sour. It's so refreshing!"
Even though she knew it was a spiritual beast food cultivation, Lian Yuxin could not help but take a deep breath.
"It's sour because of the sour bamboo shoots. Actually, this spiritual beast food cultivation is not a big problem even if it's eaten by a human."
Gu Zheng looked at Lian Yuxin and smiled maliciously. "How about it? Do you want to try some?"
"Forget it. After all, I'm a cultivator at the late-stage of Void Return. I'm a person with integrity. Since it's a spiritual beast food cultivation …"
Lian Yuxin couldn't continue her words because she found that Gu Zheng had fished out something that looked like a bamboo shoot from the meat soup and was waving it in front of her.
The bamboo shoot smelled very good. As Gu Zheng shook it back and forth, the aroma became stronger and stronger. It even covered the aroma of the spiritual beast food cultivation in the pot.
"Gulp!"
Lian Yuxin swallowed her saliva.
"This' meat wrapped in bamboo shoots' is made by simmering the meat broth from the spirit beast food. Although the bamboo shoots are ordinary sour bamboo shoots, the meat inside is the most delicious leg meat from the immortal lambs! Moreover, the leg of the immortal lamb is mixed with the rare fish meat of the 'bonefish', a specialty of the Foggy Wind Island! Whether it's the lamb or the bonefish, they are all middle-grade ingredients! As the saying goes, fish and mutton are the freshest. After being cooked by me, the freshness has improved a lot. "
Gu Zheng paused and then said, "Unfortunately, you think it's a spiritual beast food cultivation. In that case, I'd better enjoy it alone!"
After Gu Zheng finished speaking, he pretended to eat. Lian Yuxin hurriedly said, "Sect Leader, I didn't finish my words. What I wanted to say was, since it's a spiritual beast food cultivation, what's wrong with me tasting it?"
"Haha!"
Gu Zheng couldn't help laughing, especially when he saw the flawless expression on Lian Yuxin's face after she changed what she wanted to say. Gu Zheng really couldn't help laughing. He just wanted to tease Lian Yuxin, but who would have thought that she would change what she wanted to say for a mouthful of food? She really went all out!
"I'll give it to you. Look at how greedy you are!"
Gu Zheng handed the whole sour bamboo shoot to Lian Yuxin. "Don't eat it if it's sour! The essence has already seeped into the meat inside, and it no longer has any taste. "
"Thank you, Sect Leader!"
Lian Yuxin thanked him and quickly opened the seal under the bamboo shoot. There were more than ten round cute meatballs lying inside.
She put one of them into her mouth with a toothpick. Lian Yuxin closed her eyes and chewed with intoxication.
"It's so fresh and juicy. It can even explode. It's really too fresh!"
After eating one meatball, Lian Yuxin's beautiful eyes widened. She was very glad that she kept her mouth closed when she was eating. Otherwise, it would be really embarrassing if she bit down and the juices exploded.
"Delicious, it's really delicious!"
Lian Yuxin ate the second meatball. This time, she tasted it more carefully.
"How do you feel about the soup inside?" Gu Zheng asked with a smile.
"Delicious, it's really delicious! The soup inside should be the essence of the sour bamboo shoot, right? It's really delicious. It's so sour that it makes people drool. The taste is really fresh! "Lian Yuxin said.
"Okay, hurry up and finish it. The spiritual beast food cultivation is about to come out." Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"Yes!" Lian Yuxin ate the meatball and said vaguely.
Looking at the food cultivation that was about to come out, Gu Zheng, who was in a daze, suddenly shook his head and smiled.
"Forget it, I'll fulfill its wish! It can also be considered as making up for Master Xin Jing who was cruelly taken advantage of by me! "Gu Zheng said in his heart.
Taking out a 'Spirit Enlightening Fruit', Gu Zheng pinched open the skin and took out the walnut-like flesh inside. After roasting it with his' Natal True Fire ', he put it into the spiritual beast food cultivation that was about to come out. Under the control of the fire and water arts, he let the Spirit Enlightening Fruit powder that was added later fuse with the righteous path food cultivation.
"Hey! Sect Leader, what did you put inside? "Lian Yuxin asked curiously.
"I put a Spirit Enlightening Fruit." Gu Zheng said.
"Spirit Enlightening Fruit? Good stuff! When Master Xin Jing knows, he will definitely be grateful to you! "Lian Yuxin said.
