Since Gu Zheng was not on Foggy Wind Island, the House of Extreme Fragrance could not open for business. All the guests who came to Foggy Wind Island in the past two days were blocked outside the island's protective array.
Gu Zheng flew near Foggy Wind Island with Meow Meow and saw a familiar face.
"Fellow Cultivator Chen!"
Gu Zheng's Divine Sense transmitted, and the person flying in the air was Chen Yue.
"Sect Leader Gu, you're back!" Chen Yue said with a smile.
"Yes! I was delayed for two days because of something. Let's go, I'll treat you to a drink! "Gu Zheng also smiled.
Last time in the Extremely Fragrant Bungalow, it was all thanks to Chen Yue that the Bai Xinghui incident was resolved. Otherwise, things would have been troublesome. After the incident, Gu Zheng wanted to treat Chen Yue to a meal, but Chen Yue had important matters to attend to, so he couldn't do it.
"Let's go, I really miss your dishes."
Chen Yue did not hesitate and flew side by side with Gu Zheng and Meow Meow.
"Fellow Cultivator Chen, are you done with your business?" Gu Zheng asked.
"Yes, Sect Leader Gu. You haven't been open for two days. Where have you been?" Chen Yue asked.
"The Demon Sect sent people to attack Emei. I went to settle the score with them."
Gu Zheng paused and then said, "Fellow Cultivator Chen, you don't have a sect yet. Would you like to join Emei and be a Grand Elder?"
"Grand Elder? Isn't that more senior than Sect Leader Gu? "Chen Yue laughed.
"Emei is different from other sects. Grand Elder is just a title," Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"We'll talk about it later! I haven't considered joining a sect yet. If I want to join a sect, I'll definitely consider Sect Leader Gu's Emei, "Chen Yue said.
"Okay!"
Gu Zheng did not say much about Chen Yue's tactful refusal. In his opinion, Chen Yue was a person worth befriending. However, to each his own, some things could not be forced.
After returning to Foggy Wind Island, Gu Zheng first asked Yang Zhenling if anything had happened in the past two days. Then, he went to see Lian Yuxin, who was busy refining. This time, he returned to the House of Extreme Fragrance, cooked a few dishes, and had a drink with Chen Yue.
Chen Yue did not stay for long and left after finishing his meal. He came to Foggy Wind Island this time not because he was worried about Gu Zheng's invitation, but because he really missed Gu Zheng's dishes.
Before they ordered, Chen Yue handed out the payment. Gu Zheng didn't want to accept it, but Chen Yue insisted. He even said that he had to accept it this time. As for the next time, it would be Gu Zheng's treat.
Gu Zheng understood that the reason why Chen Yue did this was because he didn't want to eat free food after declining to join Emei. Therefore, he accepted the reward.
After Chen Yue left, Gu Zheng headed towards Lian Yuxin's crafting room.
The crafting room was built not too far away from the House of Extreme Fragrance. When Gu Zheng arrived, Lian Yuxin was busy.
In the past, there were no second-grade crafting masters in the cultivation world. Even if some people wanted a high-grade fairy weapon, no one could refine it. Now, it was different. Lian Yuxin was a second-grade crafting master in the cultivation world. It was hard for her business not to be good. What's more, in the past, the environment was relatively stable. Whether there were fairy weapons or not was not as important as it was now.
However, in today's chaotic world, many sects were no longer careless in purchasing fairy weapons. After all, in the realm of cultivators, even a low-grade fairy weapon could play a big role.
Gu Zheng came to Lian Yuxin's place to help her. When he first came to Foggy Wind Island to see Lian Yuxin, Lian Yuxin told him to help her refine a fairy weapon after Chen Yue left.
At that time, Gu Zheng did not want to leave Chen Yue in the House of Extreme Fragrance for too long, so he did not ask about the details.
Seeing Gu Zheng come, Lian Yuxin temporarily stopped what she was doing.
"What do you want me to do?" Gu Zheng asked.
"Help me repair a middle-grade fairy weapon."
As she spoke, Lian Yuxin took out a flying sword that looked like it was made of brass.
"This is the fairy weapon that the Mount Tai Faction entrusted to repair. The primary repair of this fairy weapon has been completed, but if you want it to recover its original power, you still need to do the final repair."
Lian Yuxin's hand pointed at the body of the flying sword. There was a row of indistinct decorations on the blade.
"These are not ordinary decorations. These are the inscriptions of an earth-elemental immortal art. It's because of these inscriptions that this flying sword can be considered middle-grade. But now, these inscriptions are damaged. If you want to repair them, the easiest way is to find a cultivator who has' natal soil 'in their body and use the power of earth to reengrave the inscriptions at the right time. "
Lian Yuxin did not cultivate earth-elemental immortal arts, so she did not have 'natal soil' in her body.
"That's fine. But I don't know how to engrave the inscriptions," Gu Zheng said.
"I'll teach you!"
Lian Yuxin did not hesitate. She pressed her index finger between her eyebrows, and a light spot suddenly appeared on her fingertip. She was going to impart her technique to Gu Zheng with her divine will.
"If you teach me, I'll be able to engrave earth-elemental inscriptions in the future. Aren't you afraid that I'll steal your business?" Gu Zheng joked.
"I'm not afraid! If you steal my business, then I'll have nothing to do. I'll just follow you and rely on you to make a living, "Lian Yuxin said flirtatiously as she glared at Gu Zheng.
"Haha …"
Gu Zheng laughed. He did not dare to joke with this hot young woman anymore. With a gentle wave of his hand, the light spot of the divine will flew into his forehead. Immediately, the method of engraving inscriptions appeared in his mind.
After imparting her technique, Lian Yuxin began to use the power of her 'natal fire' to stimulate the flame in the casting furnace.
When the temperature of the flame in the furnace was suitable, Lian Yuxin threw the flying sword into it.
The flying sword that entered the furnace was suspended in the flame. Lian Yuxin's immortal power was on it, including the part that could not be calcined. Under such protection, the only part that could be calcined by the flame was the part that had the inscription engraved on the sword.
At the same time, Lian Yuxin also threw a piece of repair material that was similar to the flying sword into the flame and burned it.
About five minutes later, the part that had the inscription engraved on the flying sword turned red. The original repair material had also turned into a large drop of molten liquid.
Lian Yuxin used her immortal power to control the liquid and put it on the red-hot inscription. The liquid immediately smoothed out the traces left by the inscription, so that no trace of the inscription could be seen on the entire sword.
"Now is the time," said Lian Yuxin.
Gu Zheng nodded. The 'natal earth' in his body vibrated, and a trace of the power of earth flew out from the tip of his index finger. After entering the furnace, it stopped on the sword's body.
Gu Zheng's hand moved back and forth as if he was writing. Under the shaking of the power of earth, a row of heavenly inscriptions immediately appeared on the fiery sword's body.
"It's done!"
Gu Zheng withdrew the Power of Earth. In less than 30 seconds, he had helped Lian Yuxin complete the engraving of the runes.
"Not bad. I'll do the rest," Lian Yuxin said.
"If there's nothing else, I won't disturb you anymore. I'll go back to the Extremely Fragrant House first," Gu Zheng said.
"Sect Leader, wait for me. Anyway, there's no one in the shop right now. The follow-up repair of this immortal weapon will take at most ten minutes. After I'm done with this, I still have to give you a bonus!" Lian Yuxin said.
"Okay!"
Gu Zheng smiled. If Lian Yuxin didn't mention it, he would have forgotten about the bonus. After all, he had already regarded Lian Yuxin as one of his own. Gu Zheng had never asked her how many business deals she had taken on, but he had never asked her about the remuneration for each deal. According to the agreement before Lian Yuxin joined the sect, every time she took a job, she had to pay one-third of the reward to the sect.
Ten minutes later, Lian Yuxin completed the repair of the middle-level immortal weapon.
"During the opening period of the Extremely Fragrant House, I've completed a total of eighteen jobs. I have a record of what I did for each job, who I did it with, and how much the reward was. Sect Leader, please have a look!"
Lian Yuxin took out her account book and handed it to Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng took it with a smile and flipped through it symbolically, "Business is good!"
"It's okay! Compared to the Untainted Land, this business is still a lot worse. But after all, this is Earth. During this period of time, I've done eighteen jobs, which is not a small number. "
Lian Yuxin paused and then took out a small box, "According to our previous agreement, I have to pay one-third of the reward to the sect. I also know that ordinary resources are useless to you. So when I talk to the customers about the reward, I also deliberately collect some ingredients. Inside the box are all ingredients, and their grades are not low. Sect Leader, please have a look. "
Gu Zheng opened the box that Lian Yuxin gave him. His eyes couldn't help but brighten. The ingredients in the box were indeed of high grades. The worst of them were middle-level ingredients, and there were even three excellent ingredients.
"Well done, keep it up!"
Gu Zheng accepted the box with satisfaction. He didn't forget to encourage Lian Yuxin.
"Hehe, since I've done well, is there any reward for me, Sect Leader?"
Lian Yuxin gave Gu Zheng a coquettish look and licked her lips. It was easy for people to misunderstand.
"Of course there is. Let's have a dinner together tonight. I'll let you have a good meal!" Gu Zheng smiled.
"Great, I haven't eaten the delicious food that Sect Leader made for two days!" Lian Yuxin cheered.
The so-called dinner was a meal that the employees of the Extremely Fragrant Cottage had together.
The employees of the Extremely Fragrant Cottage were only the Yang sisters and Lian Yuxin. Now there was Meow Meow. Including Gu Zheng, there were only four people in total. Gu Zheng made 16 dishes, which was quite sumptuous.
The dinner was naturally filled with laughter. The Yang sisters and Meow Meow had known each other for a long time. Gu Zheng introduced Meow Meow to Lian Yuxin.
At first, Gu Zheng was a little worried. Lian Yuxin's personality wasn't very good, and Meow Meow's personality wasn't very good either. Both of them were pretty, and if they didn't like each other, it would be a headache.
Fortunately, Meow Meow and Lian Yuxin hit it off at first sight. The two quickly called each other elder sister and younger sister, which saved Gu Zheng a lot of trouble.
Early the next morning, guests arrived outside Foggy Wind Island. According to the disciples guarding the island, the two guests had been here the day before yesterday.
The two guests outside Foggy Wind Island were a man and a woman. The man was handsome and the woman was as beautiful as a flower.
Gu Zheng went to greet them in person. It wasn't that they were noble, but that the weapon spirit hadn't recovered yet, so it couldn't help Gu Zheng check whether the guests were qualified or not. Therefore, Gu Zheng went to greet them in person. If they weren't qualified, naturally, they wouldn't be allowed to come to Foggy Wind Island.
Gu Zheng didn't feel that the two guests were unqualified, so he brought them to the Extremely Fragrant Cottage.
After arriving at the Extremely Fragrant Cottage, the two guests first ordered four dishes and a soup. After eating, they also ordered a high-grade elemental cultivation food.
Two orders were opened at once, and one of them was a high-grade elemental cultivation food that was very profitable. This made Gu Zheng feel good early in the morning.
Moreover, business was pretty good today. Besides the man and the woman, there were also two other people who came to eat. Therefore, after Gu Zheng prepared the high-grade elemental cultivation food for the man and the woman, he was still busy in the kitchen.
"Gu Zheng, the man and the woman's guests are strange. The high-grade elemental cultivation food they want to take away can be eaten by anyone!"
The voice of the weapon spirit sounded in Gu Zheng's mind.
After hearing the weapon spirit's words, Gu Zheng, who was humming a tune while cooking, instantly frowned.
In order to prevent people from taking the food out of the Extremely Fragrant Cottage and giving it to the people on the Extremely Fragrant Cottage's blacklist, every food that was to be taken out had to be dripped with the person who ordered it with his own blood. Only then could the food be taken out of the Extremely Fragrant Cottage.
Since the opening of the Extremely Fragrant Cottage, a total of four food packages had been taken out. Two of them were personally inspected by Gu Zheng and the other two were taken out when business was good and Gu Zheng couldn't leave, so Lian Yuxin was responsible for the inspection. So far, there had been no problems with the food packages that were taken out.
At this moment, the man and the woman had already walked out of the private room. This meant that Lian Yuxin had already inspected the packaging process and didn't find any problems.
"Lian Yuxin, did the packaging process pass?" Gu Zheng asked through telepathy.
"Yes. I saw the man drip his own blood into the elemental cultivation food," Lian Yuxin said.
"What's going on? I asked Lian Yuxin, and she didn't find anything strange! "Gu Zheng looked at the weapon spirit.
"Lian Yuxin didn't lie. After she finished inspecting the food package, the woman talked to her, and the man did something when he put the food package into his storage belt. I don't know what he did, but he changed the exclusive food package to a non-exclusive one. I also happened to detect it at that moment," the weapon spirit said.
"Have you recovered from your previous injuries?" Gu Zheng asked.
"Inspecting a food package isn't as difficult as inspecting a person. Although I haven't recovered from my previous injuries, I won't make a mistake in this matter," the weapon spirit said with certainty.
Gu Zheng nodded and then said through telepathy, "Lian Yuxin, leave the two guests here and wait for me for two minutes."
"Okay."
Without asking Gu Zheng why, Lian Yuxin replied through telepathy.
Two minutes later, Gu Zheng finished cooking and handed the dishes to the Yang sister. Then, he went to the private room where the man and woman were.
The man and woman, who were originally gentle and elegant, looked a little angry at the moment. Before Gu Zheng could say anything, the man spoke first.
"Boss Gu, what do you mean by leaving the two of us here for no reason? We ordered the food package here, but it's urgent. We can't waste even a minute! "the man said angrily.
Gu Zheng didn't answer the man's question directly. Instead, he said solemnly, "You should know the rules of the Extremely Fragrant Villa, right?"
The man frowned and then said, "Aren't the rules of the Extremely Fragrant Villa written on the menu? It seems that Sect Leader Gu thinks that I've broken the rules of the Extremely Fragrant Villa? "
"Boss Gu, make it clear. What rules did we break?" The woman on the side raised her eyebrows.
"Whether we broke the rules or not, please take out the food package and let me verify it again," Gu Zheng said.
"What kind of logic is that? We used resources to buy a food package. The food package we bought belongs to us. How can you verify it again and again? You … "
The man stretched out his hand and stopped the woman from continuing. "This is the first time we've eaten at the Extremely Fragrant Villa. It's also a very bad experience! Although the food package was made by you, we also paid a price to buy it. If you want to verify it again, you can, but you have to give us an explanation, right? "
"Okay! What explanation do you want? "Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"If we didn't break the rules, first, I want Sect Leader Gu to apologize to you in public for your impolite behavior as compensation! Second, I want Sect Leader Gu to return the price I paid for the food package as material compensation! "the man said seriously.
"What if it turns out that you've broken the rules?"
Lian Yuxin said. She didn't believe that Gu Zheng would make trouble out of nothing. Therefore, she was very angry when she saw the man and woman's attitude.
"It's clearly written on the menu. If we break the rules, we'll be blacklisted by the Extremely Fragrant Villa. In the future, the Extremely Fragrant Villa won't do business with us. What else can we say?" the woman said with a slight sneer.
"If you admit that you broke the rules, then we can follow the menu. But if you don't admit it and insist on being caught, then we can't just follow the menu," Gu Zheng said with a frown.
"Yeah, how can we do that?"
"I don't believe that Boss Gu would deliberately cause trouble for customers when he's doing business."
The two people who came to eat were already alarmed by the argument. They stood at the door of the private room and expressed their opinions.
The man shrugged and smiled at the two people at the door, then turned to Gu Zheng. "Boss Gu, what do you think we should do?"
"If you didn't break the rules, then we'll do as you say. But if you break the rules, not only will you be blacklisted by the Extremely Fragrant Villa, but you'll also have to apologize to the Extremely Fragrant Villa in public! In addition, I don't want too many resources as compensation. A high-grade elemental food package as punishment is barely enough, "Gu Zheng said coldly.
"Hehe."
The man shrugged and smiled again. "Okay! But the so-called test can't be done just because you say I broke the rules. There has to be a convincing explanation, right? Don't you think it's reasonable? "The man looked at the two diners at the door of the private room.
As a matter of fact, the two diners didn't believe that Gu Zheng would cause trouble for no reason. But what the man said was reasonable, so they couldn't say anything.
