As a late-stage Void Return cultivator, no matter which sect he joined, it was a grand event.
However, Emei Sect might be an exception. Gu Zheng didn't like to be too high-profile, so he didn't hold a big banquet.
However, Gu Zheng had joined Emei Sect, and everyone in the Alliance of the Righteous Sects knew about it. After all, when they were on Blood Tide Island, Gu Zheng had told them about it.
Although there was no big banquet for guests, there was still a celebration within Emei Sect. Gu Zheng personally cooked sixteen dishes and welcomed Chen Yue with the current higher-ups of the Emei Sect.
At this point, Emei Sect had a total of eight Grand Elders. They were: First Grand Elder Lao Ai, Second Grand Elder Du Wei, Third Grand Elder Jia Si, Fourth Grand Elder Wuyou, Fifth Grand Elder Wuchou, Sixth Grand Elder Lian Yuxin, Seventh Grand Elder Linghu Fei, and Eighth Grand Elder Chen Yue.
With these Grand Elders, Gu Zheng himself, Meow Meow, and the angry man, just the number of cultivators alone was not something any sect in the Cultivation World could compare to.
On the second day after returning to the sect, Gu Zheng finally had the chance to enter the Primal Chaos Tower and properly cultivate in the 'energy battlefield'.
The Primal Chaos Tower was now a thirty-one-story tower. There was no new tower body added, so Jiao Jiao didn't need to do any repairs. The entire tower's' energy battlefield 'was also operating normally.
"Master, recently I've had a different feeling."
After ending his chat with Jiao Jiao, Gu Zheng was about to go cultivate when Jiao Jiao's somewhat hesitant voice sounded again.
"What different feeling?" Gu Zheng asked.
"Master, I think I can feel another part of my body." Jiao Jiao seemed a little confused.
"Ah?"
Gu Zheng was slightly surprised. A part of Jiao Jiao's body? Wasn't that another part of the Primal Chaos Tower body?
"Now that the thirty-one-story tower body has been perfectly integrated, my strength has increased because of it. This feeling can't be wrong. The thing that gave me this feeling should be a part of my body." Jiao Jiao said.
"The thing that gave you this feeling, where is it now?" Gu Zheng asked.
"I don't know!"
Jiao Jiao's voice paused, then she said, "At first, the feeling was very vague, but it slowly became clear. However, this so-called clear is only compared to the beginning. As of now, this feeling is still not enough for me to determine its location. "
"At first, the feeling was very vague, but it slowly became clear?" The Weapon's spirit suddenly said.
"That's right, that's the feeling. Does sister know what's going on?" Jiaojiao asked.
"Due to the destruction of the Ancestral Dragon Grand Array, the recovery of the Celestial Core Power on Earth has accelerated. Cultivators from the Untainted Land have begun to come to Earth to seek refuge. Some of the restrictions that originally existed on Earth have also been loosened."
Jiao Jiao Jiao said said Jiao Jiao Jiao Jiao Jiao was Jiao Jiao Jiao Jiao Jiao Jiao's Jiao ao ao ao said Jiao's Jiao's Jiao Jiao.
. "If the thing that gave you this feeling is another part of your tower body, then it should be in some kind of restriction. The restriction has loosened up, so you can feel it. Therefore, you don't have to be confused or anxious about this. You just have to wait patiently. I believe that as time passes, your sense of it will become stronger and stronger. Eventually, you will be able to sense its exact location. "The Weapon's spirit said.
"Okay, after hearing your words, I'm not so anxious anymore. Thank you, sister!" Jiao Jiao thanked the Weapon's spirit.
After ending the conversation with Jiao Jiao, Gu Zheng went to cultivate. This cultivation lasted for three days.
This time, the focus of Gu Zheng's cultivation wasn't on the breathing exercises, but rather on how to make a good Sacred Fruit Cultivation.
Although Gu Zheng already had the recipe for the Sacred Fruit Food Cultivation and the ingredients that could be used with the Mixed Yuan Immortal Fruit, the appearance of the Sacred Fruit Food Cultivation had opened a window for him on the Dao of Food and Drink. It gave him the opportunity to see a deeper level of the Dao. Therefore, Gu Zheng didn't want to use up the Chaos Element Immortal Fruit and the other ingredients in a hurry. During these three days, he used the dao that he had comprehended to feel and understand these rare ingredients in order to improve or break through.
"How is it? Have you made a decision? "
During these three days, the Artifact Spirit didn't disturb Gu Zheng. Now that Gu Zheng had come out of his room, she asked.
"I've made up my mind. I'll combine Lord Gokusen's methods with my own understanding of the Dao to make this holy fruit cultivation."
Gu Zheng had decided on how to make the Sacred Fruit Food Cultivation before he went into seclusion.
According to Gokusen's method, everything would go smoothly. The effects of the Sacred Fruit Food Cultivation would also be very powerful. However, all of this would be very easy. Gu Zheng's gains wouldn't be that great.
If he combined Gokusen's methods with Gu Zheng's own understanding of the Dao, the effects of the Sacred Fruit Food Cultivation would most likely not be as good as Gokusen's method. However, it wasn't completely impossible. The Sacred Fruit Food Cultivation that Gokusen had passed down wasn't impossible to surpass. After all, in order to nurture his disciple, he hadn't perfected any of the food cultivation techniques and culinary skills. There was still room for improvement.
"This is a trade-off. If you follow Lord Gokusen's method, then the Sacred Fruit Food Cultivation will be enough to raise your cultivation from a quarter of the eighth level to a quarter of the fourth level! However, if you use Lord Gokusen's method and add in your own ideas, the weakening of the effects of the food cultivation will directly affect your cultivation progress! Furthermore, being able to make the Sacred Fruit Food Cultivation is a great opportunity. After all, not only are the main ingredients scarce, but even the supplementary ingredients are also scarce, "the Artifact Spirit said solemnly.
"I've thought about all this. It's precisely because the ingredients are rare and the opportunity is rare that I made such a choice."
Gu Zheng paused and then said, "I don't know when I'll be able to make the Sacred Fruit Food Cultivation again. I'd rather my cultivation progress be slower than my cultivation progress be faster and leave behind deep regrets."
"Gu Zheng, I believe that Lord Gokusen will like your character very much. If Lord Gokusen were you, he would make the same choice as you."
Although the Artifact Spirit said this with a smile, there was a hint of worry in his voice.
"Don't worry, wish me good luck!"
Gu Zheng pretended to be relaxed and laughed.
Since he had made his decision, Gu Zheng immediately flew to the back mountain of Mount Emei and began to prepare the Sacred Fruit Food Cultivation.
The main ingredient of the Sacred Fruit Food Cultivation was the Mixed Yuan Immortal Fruit. In addition, Gokusen had provided six other ingredients. They were the Purple Gold Bodhi Seed, the Dark Fragrance Duckweed, the Roasted Flame Lotus, the Green Jade Fern Flower, and the Fairy Leaf.
During the three days of seclusion, Gu Zheng had deduced countless ways to cook the Sacred Fruit Food Cultivation. In the end, Gu Zheng chose this cooking method. From the beginning, among the six supplementary ingredients provided by Gokusen, Gu Zheng had added one more supplementary ingredient, which was the Milk Ginseng Liquid, which was a medium-grade ingredient.
Under the Artifact Spirit's instructions, the Milk Ginseng was transplanted into the Chaotic Space.
After a period of cultivation, the Milk Ginseng had reached the Ordinary grade. After being upgraded by Gu Zheng, it had reached the Intermediate grade. The Milk Ginseng Liquid it produced had a milky fragrance and was very suitable for making various desserts.
When he saw Gu Zheng take out the Milk Ginseng Liquid, the Artifact Spirit couldn't help but feel excited. This was because when Gokusen gave him the Sacred Fruit Food Cultivation, he had said that the Milk Ginseng Liquid was one of the suitable supplementary ingredients in the method he taught him.
The Artifact Spirit knew what ingredients Gu Zheng had. Among the thousands of ingredients he had, he only had the Milk Ginseng Liquid among the few suitable supplementary ingredients that Gokusen had mentioned.
The Artifact Spirit also understood that Gu Zheng must have gone through all the characteristics of his ingredients during the three days of seclusion. Being able to pick the Milk Ginseng Liquid out of thousands of ingredients was not a coincidence. It was also a kind of understanding of the Dao. It was also because of this understanding that he had found the right ingredient! Otherwise, he would have made a mistake at the first step and had to face the result that was contrary to his wishes.
While feeling happy for Gu Zheng, the Artifact Spirit was actually frightened. After all, she didn't want Gu Zheng to take risks at this time. She hoped that Gu Zheng could quickly improve his cultivation so that he could enter the Untainted Land as soon as possible.
Moreover, there were some things that the Artifact Spirit couldn't tell Gu Zheng due to the restrictions of the rules. For example, when Gokusen had made the Holy Fruit Food Cultivation for her, he had told her something.
Gokusen had listed many kinds of Heaven and Earth treasures for the Artifact Spirit, including the Hunyuan Immortal Fruit.
Gokusen had divided the Heaven and Earth treasures into five types of supplementary ingredients according to Yin, Yang and the Five Elements, so that she could reward Gu Zheng with them in the future.
In other words, Gu Zheng's reward for completing the last active mission had been changed by the artifact spirit in consideration of the fact that he had obtained the Chaotic Element Immortal Fruit. It had taught him the cooking method of the Holy Fruit Food Cultivator, as well as the supplementary ingredients for cooking the Holy Fruit Food Cultivator.
In addition, the reward was not the end. The Holy Fruit Food Cultivation that Gu Zheng was about to cook was related to a task that the Artifact Spirit couldn't tell Gu Zheng about for the time being.
According to Gokusen, the Hunyuan Immortal Fruit was a Heaven and Earth treasure of the fire attribute. This type of Heaven and Earth treasure could only make limited changes in the supplementary ingredients given by him. Even if the successor added qualified supplementary ingredients, the changes wouldn't be too great. This was based on the premise that nothing went wrong.
Unless …
Gokusen had said "unless" to the Artifact Spirit, but he didn't say anything more.
The Artifact Spirit wanted to remind Gu Zheng not to cause any trouble. It would be fine if he just followed Lord Gokusen's instructions. There shouldn't be any problems.
"If you do as I wish, the effects of the Holy Fruit Food Cultivation will increase slightly, and you will have a sense of pride and accomplishment. The rare ingredients won't go to waste because of this, and you won't have to feel disappointed because of this. If you really want to try it, there will be opportunities in the future. Why be in such a hurry? the Artifact Spirit thought to herself.
Sometimes, things just didn't go as planned. The Artifact Spirit didn't want Gu Zheng to cause any more trouble, but as soon as Gu Zheng started to process the ingredients, trouble appeared.
According to Gokusen, the Holy Fruit Food Cultivation's main ingredient was the Hunyuan Immortal Fruit. It was very particular about the engendering of the Five Elements.
The Purple Gold Bodhi Seed belonged to the metal element. When processing it, it should be fried in high-quality Guanyin clay. However, when Gu Zheng processed the Bodhi Seed, he directly roasted it with his Natal True Fire.
The Artifact Spirit's heart skipped a beat. Gu Zheng didn't process the ingredients according to Gokusen's instructions. This made it hard for the Artifact Spirit to imagine what the grade of this Holy Fruit Food Cultivation would be.
Gu Zheng finally processed all the ingredients. He was going to cook this Holy Fruit Food Cultivation that he valued very much.
The Artifact Spirit didn't dare to watch. Originally, the Holy Fruit Food Cultivation's ingredients from Gokusen would be a dish. However, now that Gu Zheng had processed the ingredients, the Artifact Spirit felt that it would be a steamed bun.
"A steamed bun, a steamed bun! I've never seen a Holy Fruit Food Cultivation like this in my life. Is this still a Holy Fruit Food Cultivation? "The Artifact Spirit secretly screamed.
Gu Zheng was indeed making a steamed bun. All the ingredients were processed into powder. Then, he mixed it with milk ginseng and steamed it.
However, Gu Zheng's expression was unprecedentedly serious. He used the Fire Controlling Art, the Water Controlling Art, and the Wood Controlling Art one after another. He was giving it his all.
The Artifact Spirit weakly looked at Gu Zheng's efforts. As time passed, her eyes slowly widened. This was because the smell coming from the pot was very fragrant. It didn't seem like the smell of a food cultivation that was ruined.
"Hmph, the key is that the ingredients are good. That's why there's such a fragrance." The Artifact Spirit secretly snorted.
"Are you not optimistic about my changes this time?"
As if seeing through the Artifact Spirit, Gu Zheng, who was originally concentrating on cooking, suddenly spoke to her.
"No, you did very well!" The Artifact Spirit smiled insincerely.
"Haha!"
Gu Zheng laughed. "I didn't think that you would be so concerned about my Divine Fruit Cultivation. You're even a little angry. That's rare!"
It would have been better if Gu Zheng hadn't seen through the Artifact Spirit's thoughts. As soon as he did, the Artifact Spirit's mouth immediately began to chatter incessantly.
"You also know that I'm angry?"
"Hmph, you self-righteous bastard. Do you think that you can replace the method passed down by Lord Gokusen with just some random changes?"
"Let me tell you, how can the method passed down by Lord Gokusen be changed so easily?"
"You're really bold. This is a heavenly treasure!"
"Not to mention the Chaotic Element Immortal Fruit, even the supplementary ingredients are all extremely rare items!"
"You're really bold. You dare to make such a huge change in just three days. What's done is done. Let's see how you're going to cry now that you've ruined this food cultivation. When will you be able to reach ninety percent of the fourth stage of the Gokusen Technique?"
"You, you bastard. You're going to piss me off!"
Not only was Gu Zheng not angry after listening to the Artifact Spirit's ramblings, but he also burst into laughter.
"Artifact Spirit, you're very cute now. You're much more humane than when we first met."
Gu Zheng's serious voice paused, and then he smiled mischievously.
"Three days? Do you know how many deductions I made in these three days? How could I not know that you wanted me to enter the Eldritch World as soon as possible? How could I not know that these ingredients were hard to come by? "
"You're really confused because you're too concerned! The food cultivation method passed down by Lord Gokusen is not easy to change. How could I not know that? "
"Have you forgotten that I've completed the 'Breakthrough of Food Cultivation' task?"
"In your opinion, the Holy Fruit Cultivation doesn't have much room for change, but in my opinion, it's more room for change than any other food cultivation method in the past!"
"Perhaps you were already angry when I started processing the ingredients. But what I want to tell you is that Lord Gokusen's method of processing ingredients is based on the mutual promotion of the five elements. My method of processing ingredients is not only based on the mutual promotion of the five elements, but also the mutual suppression of the five elements! Regardless of whether it is mutually reinforcing or mutually restraining, as long as it is used in the right way and place, it can produce endless wonderful effects. "
The mischievous smile on Gu Zheng's face disappeared, and it turned into a kind of incomparable confidence. "Be proud of me! I'm one hundred percent sure that the Holy Fruit Cultivation method this time will be better than the method passed down by Lord Gokusen, and not just a little bit better! "
Gu Zheng's words bombarded the Artifact Spirit until she felt a little dizzy. Especially when she saw the confident smile on his face, the Artifact Spirit felt that she had become a lot more confident. As for the anger in her heart, she didn't know when it had flown beyond the highest heavens.
During the time that Gu Zheng and the weapon spirit were conversing, the fragrance in the air had become very rich, but it hadn't reached the point of being mesmerizing.
Thump, thump, thump, thump …
Suddenly, the steamer shook violently, as if it wasn't steaming a bun, but a lively rabbit.
The weapon spirit's eyes widened and slowly filled with excitement. The steamer's abnormality could only mean one thing — the Holy Fruit Cultivation was undergoing a tribulation! The fact that it was undergoing a tribulation was enough to prove that Gu Zheng's method was correct. Once it survived this tribulation, it would be a qualified Holy Fruit Cultivation.
"You want to destroy it? Don't even think about it! "
Facing the violently shaking steamer, Gu Zheng sternly shouted. He placed one hand on the steamer and the other hand quickly drew an invisible immortal formation on the lid.
The violently shaking steamer calmed down and a white mist abruptly rushed out of the steamer. The fresh and sweet smell in the air became very enchanting.
However, the good omen only lasted for a moment. The immortal formation that Gu Zheng drew on the lid suddenly appeared and was annihilated in an instant! Then, the steamer began to shake violently again under the suppression of Gu Zheng's palm, and the amplitude and frequency were even greater than before.
"Calm down!"
Gu Zheng roared and used the Metal Manipulation Art that he hadn't used before. A golden light rushed out of the immortal pot and shot into the steamer! The originally noisy steamer also quieted down at this moment. Then, more white mist flew out of the steamer and the sweet smell in the air gradually increased.
