The situation on Blood Tide Island was much better than what Gu Zheng had expected. After these people with sufficient cultivation base entered the Blood Tide Forbidden Zone, the Immortal Cultivators who stayed on the surface of the sea did not engage in a bloody battle to the death! This was because the demonic cultivators quickly flew away from Blood Tide Island.
In fact, it made sense. The cultivators on the surface of the sea didn't need to fight to the death. After all, the direction of the world would ultimately depend on whether the Blood Soul in the core of the Blood Tide Forbidden Area would refine the evil source and become the Nether Spring Blood Demon, or whether the righteous cultivators would kill the Blood Soul. No matter what the result was, the battle on the surface of the sea wouldn't have any effect on the outcome. Therefore, their bloody fight didn't seem to have much meaning.
When Gu Zheng returned to Blood Tide Island, the cultivators had already experienced a wave of celebration. His arrival didn't cause any sensational enthusiasm. After all, the truth had been concealed at his request. He was only a cultivator who had contributed a lot in the battle between the righteous and evil, but he wasn't one of the most dazzling stars.
However, the sharp-eyed cultivators still noticed that people like Master Yu Feng, Xuan Qizi, and even Xiahou Shan, who had a grudge against Gu Zheng, seemed to treat Gu Zheng a little strangely, as if they were in awe of him.
The crisis of the Blood Soul was over, and the cultivators on Blood Tide Island celebrated for three days.
Three days later, a new round of the Demon Buster Operation was launched.
The main purpose of this Demon Buster Operation was to eliminate the demonic cultivators who had participated in the Blood Tide Island incident but had escaped in the end. At the same time, it was to send a message to the entire cultivation world: evil couldn't prevail over righteousness! Didn't a powerful existence like the Blood Soul die in the hands of the alliance of the righteous sects?
Gu Zheng naturally didn't participate in this new round of the Demon Buster Operation. He still had many things to do.
After leaving Blood Tide Island, Gu Zheng first went to Violet Yan Island. Because he had asked Angry Man to return to Foggy Wind Island in advance, Gu Zheng was the only one on the way.
Everything was fine on Violet Yan Island, and Meow Meow was overjoyed to see Gu Zheng.
Meow Meow was a restless person. After staying on Purple Yan Island for a while, it could no longer sit still. After hearing about Gu Zheng's experience on Blood Tide Island, it was even more eager to go out with Gu Zheng.
"Sir, let me go with you when you leave this time!"
Meow Meow tugged at Gu Zheng's arm with a pitiful look in her eyes.
"Who told you that I'm going out?"
Gu Zheng pinched Meow Meow's cheek. "After leaving Violet Yan Island, I'm going to make a trip to Dawn Island, then to Foggy Wind Island. Finally, I'll return to the sect to cultivate for a while. Based on the current situation, as long as nothing special happens, I have no intention of going out for the next three to five months. "
This was Gu Zheng's plan for the time being. Once he returned to the sect, he would concentrate on cultivating for a period of time.
"Alright!"
Meow Meow said helplessly, then tugged at Gu Zheng's arm again. "Sir, you have to make something delicious to compensate me. I haven't eaten your food for a while, and I'm craving it!"
"Of course, that's not a problem. I came here this time to cook something delicious for you. Furthermore, it's going to be a very unique and delicious one!"
"Wow!"
Hearing Gu Zheng's solemn words, the last bit of gloominess on Meow Meow's face disappeared. "Sir, what are you going to make for me?"
"Let's eat Yu Qingyan!" Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"Yu Qingyan?"
Meow Meow was stunned at first, then gritted her teeth. "Sir, did you kill that abominable guy?"
As for what happened on Blood Tide Island, Gu Zheng only gave Meow Meow a rough explanation, so she didn't know about Yu Qingyan.
"I didn't kill it. It was killed by its master!"
Gu Zheng sighed in his heart, then told Meow Meow about how the Blood Soul had killed Yu Qingyan.
"It's good that it died!"
After hearing Gu Zheng's story, Meow Meow was still resentful. "Who told it to be so despicable? It stole the fruits of your victory. If it hadn't stolen the Nine-Colored Illusion Sonic Conch and given it to the Blood Soul, this year's Hungry Ghost Festival wouldn't have been so troublesome. It deserved to die! "
After chatting with Meow Meow for a while, Gu Zheng went into the kitchen to prepare the food.
For today's meal, Gu Zheng planned to make four dishes and one soup. Other than Meow Meow, the First Elder of Tianxin Sect and Elder Ma of Morning Clouds Island would also be there.
The residents of Violet Yan Island were made up of residents of Foggy Wind Island and Morning Clouds Island. The First Elder of Tianxin Sect was the person in charge here, and Elder Ma was the second in charge.
Meow Meow went to help Gu Zheng cook, and the First Elder and Elder Ma were chatting in the dining hall.
"Elder Ma?"
While chatting, the First Elder saw that Elder Ma kept looking in the direction of the kitchen, so he could not help but call out to him curiously.
"Ah?"
Elder Ma, who had come back to his senses, looked a little confused.
"What's wrong with you? Why do you keep looking in the direction of the kitchen? "the First Elder asked.
"I, I'm just wondering what the master will make today," Elder Ma said, embarrassed.
"No matter what the young master cooks, you'll be able to taste it later. What's the point of thinking about it now?"
Even so, the First Elder could not help but imagine what Gu Zheng would make. After all, it had been a long time since he'd had such a meal.
"First Elder, do you think the master's cooking will be much better than the one at the 'harvest feast'?"
The 'harvest feast' Elder Ma was talking about was the first time the immortal grains were harvested on Violet Yan Island.
"It's all the young master's cooking. I can't say for sure if it'll be better than last time," the First Elder said.
"That's not what I mean. I'm just saying that the master's cooking this time will be better than the average chef's, right?"
On the day of the 'harvest feast' on Violet Yan Island, Gu Zheng had instructed the chefs on how to cook most of the dishes. He had only made one dish himself.
"Even with the young master's guidance, how can the average chef's cooking compare to the young master's? Besides, didn't you eat the young master's cooking that day? Why are you asking such a question? "the First Elder said, frowning.
"I, I didn't eat it. There was only one dish on the table. At that time, there were so many people fighting over it, so I was too embarrassed to eat it. In the end, I only hesitated for a moment, and there was nothing left on the plate."
The Third Elder was very depressed. Although they had been educating the islanders ever since they left Morning Cloud Island, the quality of the islanders was still not as good as the islanders of Foggy Wind Island. There was nothing they could do about it. After all, the environment they grew up in had already determined that it would take more than a few months to completely change something that was deeply ingrained in them.
"Alright!"
The First Elder wanted to laugh, but he held it back.
"There are only four of us eating this time. You can have a good taste of the master's cooking. It's really amazing!" the First Elder said.
In the kitchen, the ingredients had all been processed. Gu Zheng also began to prepare today's meal.
The main ingredient of today's meal was naturally the medium-grade Jade Smoke. Gu Zheng planned to use it to make a soup and a dish.
He put the Jade Smoke Bone, immortal wine, ginger, and other condiments aside and stewed them.
Gu Zheng dipped the marinated chicken in the immortal noodles, hung a bit of immortal egg liquid, and fried it in oil until golden brown before taking it out.
He shredded the cooked Jade Smoke Bone and stir-fried it. Then, he added the snake bone broth, shredded deer antler mushrooms, shredded golden scaled fish belly, and shredded immortal oil tofu skin, and simmered it over low heat.
A rich aroma wafted out of the soup, causing Meow Meow's nose to twitch from time to time.
"Smells good, really good. Although the Jade Smoke Bone is only a medium-grade ingredient, I think eating it will definitely be more satisfying than eating a high-grade ingredient!"
"Haha …"
Meow Meow's emotional evaluation made Gu Zheng laugh uncontrollably. But then again, when the Jade Smoke Bone was stewed with all the other ingredients, the snake meat's aroma was very unique. It was a mouth-watering aroma.
"Mister, what's the name of this soup?" Meow Meow asked.
"Let's call it 'Dragon Phoenix Soup'!"
Gu Zheng couldn't be bothered to come up with a name. After all, snakes were also known as small dragons. As for chickens, their tails were called phoenix tails, and their claws were called phoenix claws. Calling it a phoenix made sense.
Leaving the 'Dragon Phoenix Soup' simmering in the pot, Gu Zheng began to prepare the next dish with the Jade Smoke Bone as the main ingredient.
As for the name of the dish, Gu Zheng called it 'Yi Qing Er Bai'.
The 'Yi Qing' referred to the skin of the Jade Smoke Bone. The 'Er Bai' referred to the duck intestines of the immortal duck, and the 'Chilling Snow Jellyfish', a specialty of Purple Yan Island.
"Mister, I want to eat spicy food!"
Seeing that Gu Zheng was about to heat up the pot, Meow Meow suddenly said.
"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Gu Zheng glared at Meow Meow.
"Hehe, I was thinking about getting my revenge, but I forgot that spicy food should be even better." Meow Meow stuck her tongue out at Gu Zheng.
"Greedy little cat!"
Gu Zheng said with a smile. Then, he took out a box of spices from the Chaos Dimension.
"Mister, I want to eat the sea pepper flavored one!" Meow Meow added.
"You won't be able to eat the sea pepper flavored one. My dish is called 'Yi Qing Er Bai'. Sea pepper is red, so it will ruin the mood of the dish. Just eat the pepper flavored one!" Gu Zheng said.
"Pepper? Is it good? "
Meow Meow was curious. In the time that she had been with Gu Zheng, she had never seen Gu Zheng cook with pepper.
"How can the taste be bad when your mister cooks it? Just because you haven't eaten it before doesn't mean it's not good! "
Gu Zheng's pepper wasn't a low-grade ingredient. It was a mid-grade ingredient from the Untainted Land. Its name was' Hu Ma '. Apart from the unique taste of pepper, it also had the numbing taste of Sichuan Pepper. Moreover, these two tastes didn't conflict with each other at all! Although Gu Zheng had never used 'Hu Ma' to cook, he could tell with a single glance that it wouldn't be bad if it was used as a supplementary ingredient in this' Pure and Clean 'dish.
Gu Zheng took out four grains of Hu Ma and ground them into powder. The powder had a strong taste, so it would not taste good if too much was added.
The oil in the pot was already hot. Gu Zheng put the Hu Ma powder directly into the pot. Immediately, a different fragrance wafted out of the pot.
"Phew!"
Meow Meow inhaled deeply, intoxicated.
"I'm so looking forward to it! This numbing and spicy aroma is so refreshing! "Meow Meow said excitedly.
While Meow Meow was talking, Gu Zheng had already put the shredded Jade Smoke Pipe into the pot. The Hu Ma powder mixed with the oil would bring out the flavor, but it could not be cooked for too long. The slightest miscontrol of the heat would cause the flavor to change.
The emerald green Jade Smoke Pipe was soon hot under Gu Zheng's stir-frying.
"What a unique smell of Hu Ma! What a fragrant Jade Smoke Pipe!"
Meow Meow swallowed her saliva, gritted her teeth, and said again, "Just thinking about that despicable thing, it's going to give me a chewy taste. How satisfying!"
Gu Zheng was once again amused by Meow Meow. He had already treated the Jade Smoke Pipe as an ingredient, but Meow Meow was still immersed in her hatred for it.
After stir-frying the Jade Smoke Pipe a few more times, Gu Zheng put the shredded Jade Smoke Pipe, Fairy Duck Intestine, and Frigid Snow Jellyfish Shreds into the pot. With the addition of the other two ingredients, the fragrance in the pot became richer.
Whether it was the Jade Smoke Pipe, Fairy Duck Intestine, or Frigid Snow Jellyfish Shreds, they were all boiled before stir-frying, so the cooking time was very short.
"Alright, go and serve the dishes. By the time you get here, the Dragon Phoenix Soup will be ready. "
Gu Zheng took the dishes out of the pot, and Meow Meow happily carried the plates to the table.
A moment later.
Gu Zheng was already seated in the dining hall.
"Elder Ma, didn't you try the dishes I cooked last time?"
The dining hall was not far from the kitchen, so Gu Zheng naturally heard the conversation between Elder Ma and the First Elder.
"Master's dishes are too popular. I hesitated last time, and they were all eaten," Elder Ma said sheepishly.
"There's enough food this time. Eat to your heart's content!"
Gu Zheng smiled, picked up his chopsticks, and gestured for everyone to start eating.
"Sir, I'll get you some soup."
The sensible Meow Meow filled Gu Zheng's bowl with the fragrant Dragon Phoenix Soup.
Gu Zheng picked up a piece of the Jade Smoke Pipe and put it in his mouth. The unique flavor of the flax immediately spread along the tip of his tongue.
With one bite, it was crunchy and chewy. With two bites, the fragrance flowed between his lips and tongue.
"Delicious, chewy!"
Gu Zheng was very satisfied with the Jade Smoke Pipe's skin. He then picked up the Frigid Snow Jellyfish Shreds and put it in his mouth. He immediately tasted the different crispness.
"It's delicious!"
Gu Zheng still had the Fairy Duck Intestine to try, but Meow Meow had already tasted the Pure and White.
"I didn't expect the despicable Jade Smoke Pipe's skin to be so chewy! And this Frigid Snow Jellyfish, why didn't I realize it was so good before? "
Meow Meow picked up the Fairy Duck Intestine and put it in his mouth. After chewing a few times and swallowing, he opened his mouth again. "Sir, the flax flavor is really special! The Sea Pepper is spicy, but the flax flavor is indescribably spicy. I can't stop eating it! "
After saying this, Meow Meow picked up a chopstick full of Pure and White and put it in his mouth without caring about his table manners. He then began to eat heartily.
"Elder Ma, how does this Pure and White taste?" Gu Zheng looked at Elder Ma.
"Phew!"
Elder Ma was just an ordinary person. The stimulation of the flax had made his tongue a little numb. Before answering the question, he took a deep breath to calm his aching tongue.
"Master, you're the one who made it. This is the best food I've ever eaten in my life!"
Elder Ma's voice paused and he took another deep breath. "Although my tongue is a little numb from the spiciness, I still want to eat more. I can't stop eating. I'd be willing to die from the spiciness!"
"Haha …"
Gu Zheng laughed and gestured for everyone to continue. He picked up the Dragon Phoenix Soup and scooped a spoonful into his mouth.
The freshness of the Jade Green Smoke Meat, the tenderness of the fresh chicken, the fragrance of the Deer Antler Mushroom, the crispness of the Golden Scale Fish Maw, and the chewiness of the Immortal Oil Bean Skin. These ingredients showed their charm in Gu Zheng's mouth. When mixed together, they burst out with a different taste and taste! Tasting the taste of this kind of seafood and rare ingredients was really a wonderful enjoyment.
After eating, Gu Zheng chatted with everyone for a while and then left.
Although Gu Zheng didn't bring Meow Meow with him, he had promised her that if he went out again next time, he would take her out for a walk.
In less than half a day, Gu Zheng flew back to Morning Clouds Island. Everything on Morning Clouds Island was quite good.
With Old Cheng and the others there, Gu Zheng was really relieved. The temple that belonged to him on Morning Clouds Island had been completed. Some of the islanders who originally belonged to Blood Tide Island would follow Old Cheng and the others into the temple to worship Gu Zheng's statue.
Mu Chunfeng and the others were also very supportive of this behavior of the islanders. Gu Zheng also believed that when the immortal fields were set up in the future, the increase of the power of faith would definitely be much faster than now.
The Artifact Spirit had once said that if he wanted to set up a new immortal field, he had to take the initiative to accept missions. Between active missions, there had to be a certain interval of time. Therefore, even if Gu Zheng wanted to accept it now, he couldn't. He had to wait for a period of time.
On Morning Clouds Island, Gu Zheng also stayed for less than half a day before flying back to Foggy Wind Island.
Compared to Purple Yan Island and Morning Clouds Island, Foggy Wind Island was a well-known island among cultivators. Gu Zheng was more worried about the safety of this island.
Fortunately, during this time, Gu Zheng was not on Foggy Wind Island, so nothing happened here.
Recently, Lian Yuxin was very idle. When Gu Zheng opened the Immortal Kitchen Store, she had already finished the batch of work she took.
Recently, almost all the people who needed immortal tools were on Blood Tide Island, so Lian Yuxin's business was particularly cold.
When Gu Zheng returned to Foggy Wind Island, Lian Yuxin, who was too bored, had already followed the fishermen to the sea to catch fish.
Just like Meow Meow, she didn't talk much with Gu Zheng. Lian Yuxin wanted Gu Zheng to take her out for a stroll, even if it was only after a stroll that they returned to Foggy Wind Island.
In this regard, Gu Zheng could only promise Lian Yuxin that if he went out to do something, he would definitely take her with him. During this time, she still needed to stay on Foggy Wind Island.
Since Gu Zheng had said so, Lian Yuxin didn't say anything else. She could only ask Gu Zheng to make up for it by making a good meal for her.
On Purple Yan Island, Gu Zheng made four dishes and a soup. On Foggy Wind Island, Gu Zheng made eight dishes and two soups! Other than Lian Yuxin and the angry man, the Yang siblings and two higher-ups of the Heaven Heart Sect were also eating.
After eating and drinking, the people of the Heaven Heart Sect took their leave, and the angry man also went back to cultivate. Gu Zheng began to talk to Lian Yuxin about business.
