Unknowingly, more than twenty days had passed.
In the past twenty days, the immortal fields on Foggy Wind Island and Ziyan Island had been harvested twice. The ingredients they produced had made up for the food therapy's consumption to a large extent.
During this time, many people with the disease had been cured by the food therapy. To Gu Zheng's relief, the government's efforts had been able to control the spread of the disease.
Now, the number of people with the disease found in each city had been greatly reduced! If things continued to develop at this rate, perhaps within two months, the plague would be over.
However, this end was limited to Gu Zheng's country. The world was still in chaos! In other countries, because there was no food therapy that could cure the disease, only medicine that could prolong the life of the patients for a few more days, people were in a state of panic. There were frequent riots, intentional infections, and other vicious incidents. It was not easy to completely control the situation.
The international community had also frequently asked Gu Zheng's country for help. However, the country had not yet stabilized, so naturally, they could not help them.
Department Head Huo had also asked Gu Zheng's opinion about the help from other countries. After all, Gu Zheng was the creator of the food therapy, and the main ingredients were provided by Gu Zheng.
In this matter, Gu Zheng's principle was to stabilize the country first! When the country was stabilized, as long as there were enough immortal fields that were willing to produce heat, it would not be impossible to help the patients in other countries. As for what they needed to ask for as compensation from their international friends, Gu Zheng gave this benefit to the country. This was a kind of repayment to the land that gave birth to him!
In the past month, Gu Zheng had been busy dealing with the Spotted Flower Disease, and the cultivation world was not peaceful either.
During this time, many immortal cultivators had escaped from the primitive world. Among these immortal cultivators, the majority were demonic cultivators. However, the demonic cultivators had been suppressed by the Demon-Buster Operations one after another, and they had become very dispirited. There was no news of any demonic sects that had many demonic cultivators joining them.
The demonic cultivators did not do anything in the cultivation world. However, many of them secretly came to the secular world to do something.
The disease was rampant, and too many people had died on Earth. This was something that demonic cultivators liked to see. They did not need to do anything, and there were dead souls, corpses, and other things that they could use. It would be a waste if they did not take the opportunity to do something.
Such demonic cultivators who came to the secular world to make a fortune had never appeared near the quarantine hospital. After all, everyone in the cultivation world knew that Gu Zheng often went to the quarantine hospital. Therefore, no demonic cultivators had dared to provoke Gu Zheng, even though many people had died there.
There was once when Gu Zheng went to Foggy Wind Island to collect resources. On the way back, he met a demonic cultivator who made a fortune from a disaster. That Devil Cultivator should have recognized Gu Zheng as well. He didn't dare to let Gu Zheng get too close before he fled in fright.
It was already very late at night. In the kitchen, the chefs were still busy preparing the last dish of the day.
After this period of time, the number of chefs had increased to 60. However, even so, they still had to work until very late every day. After all, they took a relatively long time to prepare a dish of food.
Gu Zheng was still in the kitchen. He still had to test the food that the chefs had prepared before sending it to the quarantine hospital.
Gu Zheng, who had his eyes closed as if he had fallen asleep, suddenly opened his eyes and frowned slightly.
"Why are there fights in the city? Are they demonic cultivators? "
Gu Zheng muttered. He had already disappeared from where he had been.
"Boom!"
Light and shadow floated amidst the loud noise. The effect of the collision of immortal techniques was like fireworks in the air.
"Again!"
A female cultivator shouted. She threw out an immortal weapon that looked like a three-foot-long white silk and wrapped it around an old man in black.
The old man in black was a demonic cultivator. A black fog burst out from his body. The white silk quickly rolled back as if it had met its nemesis.
At the same time, a sword light slashed at the old man in black from the side. The old man in black stretched out his hand. His palm suddenly became like a steel claw. It shattered the sword light and made a sound of metal clashing.
"Luo Meihua, Zhao Yifeng, aren't you two too shameless? You can't beat me in a fight, but you still want to pester me? If you really annoy the Old Man, even if the Old Man loses some of his cultivation, he must kill the two of you! "The old man in black said in a low muffled voice.
"Old Monster Si Xi, it's easy for you to say. If you have the ability, then kill the two of us!" The female cultivator who was replaced by Luo Meihua sneered.
"Since the two of us are Taoist companions, we naturally have to fight together. But you are too shameless. Every time you can't beat the two of us, you want to run away. If you have the ability, don't run away this time!"
The man who was replaced by Zhao Yifeng slashed his sword at the old man in black again as he spoke.
Luo Meihua and Zhao Yifeng were Taoist companions. Their cultivation was at the Late-stage of Void Return. Although this Old Monster Si Xi's cultivation was also at the Late-stage of Void Return, his demonic skills were very powerful. His real strength was very close to the peak of Void Return, so he could fight the two of them alone.
When they were searching for treasures in the Untainted Land, the Old Monster Si Xi once robbed Luo Meihua and Zhao Yifeng of their treasures, so he became enemies with the two of them.
"You two shameless things, this old man is always the one who wins against you. You're the one who doesn't run away. Why is it that in your mouth, I'm the one who has to run away when I'm no match?"
The Old Monster Si Xi looked very angry. He waved his hand and Hei Feng rolled toward Luo Meihua from his sleeve.
Luo Meihua waved the white silk in her hand into a light screen. Before the Hei Feng could get too close to her, it turned into a black monkey with a pair of green eyes in the air.
"Squeak, squeak!"
The monkey made a strange sound. It disappeared on the spot and appeared behind Luo Meihua. A skinny monkey claw scratched at Luo Meihua's back.
"Bang!"
The monkey failed to catch Luo Meihua and was sent flying by a bead that Zhao Yifeng took out, making a sound like a drum.
"Old Monster Si Xi, are we the ones who run away every time? Have you forgotten how we chased after you in Kongming Mountain? "Zhao Yifeng sneered.
"Kongming Mountain? You are really shameless. That time, it was because the Old Man was injured! "
The Old Monster Si Xi was furious. He waved the bone staff in his hand. From the eye sockets of the skull at the top of the bone staff, green fog began to spurt out.
When Zhao Yifeng and Luo Meihua saw the green fog, their expressions changed and they immediately flew back. The monkey, who was sent flying by Zhao Yifeng's bead, grew in size in the green fog. In an instant, its speed was as fast as lightning. It caught up with Luo Meihua and scratched her back with its claw.
"Ah …"
Luo Meihua screamed in pain. Zhao Yifeng swung his sword and forced the monkey monster to retreat.
At the same time.
The dark night was illuminated by a red light. A three-foot-long fire dragon appeared out of thin air and crashed toward the Old Monster Si Xi.
In fact, Gu Zheng had been nearby for a while, but the three people in the battle did not notice him. He wanted to watch for a while, but the poison released by the Old Monster Si Xi angered him.
The Spotted Flower Virus was caused by the Old Demon Voodoo. The Old Monster Si Xi released the poison at this time, which undoubtedly provoked Gu Zheng.
Faced with the sudden appearance of the fire dragon, the Old Monster Si Xi held his bone staff horizontally with both hands and pushed it forward. The air was locked, and in front of his bone staff, there were three hundred skull shadows.
"Bang!"
In the loud noise, the fire dragon was sent flying back. The skull shadows in front of the Old Monster Si Xi's bone staff also disappeared.
On the surface, the Old Monster Si Xi seemed to have the upper hand. But in fact, the Old Monster Si Xi was so scared that his heart clenched tightly.
From the size and power of the fire dragon, the Old Monster Si Xi could see that the enemy was at least at the Late Void Return Stage. But he, who thought highly of himself, still wanted to test the power of the fire dragon. After all, he could even fight against a cultivator at the Peak Void Return Stage.
Although the fire dragon was repelled by the collision, the defense in front of his bone staff also disappeared. Even a cultivator at the Peak Void Return Stage might not be able to cause such an effect.
Therefore, the Old Monster Si Xi, who was just testing the waters, flew up without looking back.
The fire dragon, which was repelled, disappeared. When it reappeared, it was not far from the Old Monster Si Xi. The fire dragon swung its tail violently and the Old Monster Si Xi, who wanted to escape, was forced back.
"Blackie!"
The Old Monster Si Xi roared. The monkey in the air immediately let out a strange cry and opened its mouth to spit out a gray breath of death at the fire dragon.
Generally speaking, fire and thunder were the nemesis of evil things, not to mention that Gu Zheng's fire dragon originated from the "Natal True Fire", which was extremely yang. However, under the spray of the death breath, the originally majestic fire dragon was destroyed beyond recognition in an instant, as if it had been hit by strong acid.
Gu Zheng frowned. Holding Tang Mo in his hand, he slashed at the Old Monster Si Xi from afar.
"Who are you? This Old Man doesn't want to be your enemy! "
The Old Monster Si Xi was also unlucky. He had just come out of the Untainted Land yesterday and recovered from his injuries in one day. But he also discovered the strong death breath in the city. He didn't know much about the cultivators in this world, let alone who Gu Zheng was! If he had known who Gu Zheng was, he would never have dared to fight someone so brazenly in a place so far away from the place where Gu Zheng often stayed.
"Who am I? You'll know when you die! "
Gu Zheng didn't want to talk to the Old Monster Si Xi anymore, because a green ball of light had appeared in his hand. Obviously, it was a highly toxic object. He was really worried that this person was another Voodoo Demon.
The Old Monster Si Xi was still waiting for Gu Zheng's answer. But the scene in front of him changed, and he was already in another space.
"The Immortal Realm!"
The Old Monster Si Xi screamed at the sight of the snow-white world that had suddenly appeared.
"Die!"
Gu Zheng didn't say much. With a thought, the energy of heaven and earth began to oppress the Old Monster Si Xi, and his whole body was quickly deformed.
As Gu Zheng's cultivation improved, his divine mind also became stronger, so the power of the Immortal Realm naturally became stronger.
Gu Zheng's real strength was already far beyond that of an ordinary cultivator at the peak of the Void Return Stage. The Immortal Realm was a powerful divine power that could allow one to fight against cultivators at a higher level. It would be easy for him to kill two Old Monsters, let alone one.
"Senior, please spare my life …"
The Old Monster Si Xi's deformed face was blood-red, and the tone of his begging changed.
Bam …
After a loud noise, the Old Monster Si Xi was completely crushed by the pressure of the space.
The Old Monster Si Xi was dead. Gu Zheng didn't clean up the battlefield immediately. He flicked his finger at the monkey, who was already scared out of his wits, and the monkey instantly fainted.
Gu Zheng obtained a high-level demonic weapon from the Old Monster Si Xi, which was his bone staff. Gu Zheng also found a lot of cultivation resources in his storage belt. Among them, the things that were more useful to Gu Zheng were three high-quality ingredients.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Gu Zheng put away the Immortal Realm. Zhao Yifeng and Luo Meihua, who were originally fighting the Old Monster Si Xi, hadn't left yet. The reason was that Luo Meihua had fallen into a coma after being caught by the monkey.
"Senior, save me!"
Looking at Gu Zheng flying over, Zhao Yifeng begged for help. Although Gu Zheng looked younger than him, he also saw Gu Zheng use the Immortal Realm to kill the Old Monster Si Xi.
Zhao Yifeng and Luo Meihua had also just come out of the Untainted Land, so they didn't know Gu Zheng.
"Is the secular world a place for you to fight? Are you also so unscrupulous in the Untainted Land? "Gu Zheng looked at Zhao Yifeng and said coldly.
In fact, whether it was on Earth or in the Untainted Land, although ordinary people lived at the bottom, they were actually protected by immortal cultivators. It was just that immortal cultivators didn't easily interfere in the affairs of the secular world.
"Senior, please don't blame us. We just met an enemy and fought in the sky to avoid affecting the secular world!" Zhao Yifeng hurriedly explained.
"Avoid being affected? Can't you see that there is a plague here? This is the legacy of immortal cultivators! "
Gu Zheng was very angry. If it weren't for the fact that these two people didn't have the disgusting aura of demonic cultivators on them, he would really kill them.
"Senior, we were wrong. Please have mercy on us!"
Luo Meihua also woke up at this time. She looked at Gu Zheng and said weakly.
"Go. If you dare to act unscrupulously in the secular world in the future, I won't give you a second chance!"
After saying that, Gu Zheng turned to leave.
"Senior, please wait. Save, save me!"
Luo Meihua asked Gu Zheng for help again.
Gu Zheng frowned, but still turned around. He was also a little curious. These two people didn't know him well, so why did they want him to save them?
"What's the matter?" Gu Zheng asked.
"Senior, my dao partner was injured by the 'ghost monkey' and caused the death aura to enter her body. In order to get rid of this death aura, one must be at the pinnacle of the Void Return Pinnacle Stage. Please forgive us and save my dao partner. We will definitely repay you generously in the future!"
Zhao Yifeng and his dao partner were very close. If it weren't for the fact that he was helpless because of the death aura, he definitely wouldn't wait here to save a strange cultivator at the pinnacle of the Void Return Pinnacle Stage.
"Death aura entering her body?"
Gu Zheng was originally interested in the old monster Death Aura's' ghost monkey ', so he hadn't killed it until now. Now that he saw that the death aura it released was so strange that even a cultivator at the Void Return Final Stage was helpless, he immediately wanted to find out what it was.
"Relax your body. I'll enter your body with my divine sense to check your condition."
Gu Zheng said to Luo Meihua, and Luo Meihua quickly nodded.
After entering Luo Meihua's body with his divine sense, Gu Zheng quickly understood the situation in her body.
The death aura of the ghost monkey was indeed strange. It gathered in Luo Meihua's brain and didn't disperse. If one's divine sense wasn't strong enough, it couldn't be destroyed at all.
Gu Zheng's divine sense was more than enough to deal with the death aura, so he conveniently got rid of the death aura in Luo Meihua's brain.
"Thank you for saving my life, Senior!"
"Thank you, Senior! We will definitely repay you generously in the future. May I know your name, Senior? "
Luo Meihua and Zhao Yifeng both asked.
Gu Zheng, who was still a little unhappy with the two of them, pretended not to hear their questions and left with the ghost monkey.
"This ghost monkey is a product of demon refinement. Its strength isn't very strong, but it can actually hurt a cultivator at the Void Return Final Stage when it cooperates with the old monster Death Aura. It's really a wonder!"
On Gu Zheng's way back, the artifact spirit's voice sounded.
"It is indeed interesting. This is the first time I've seen the Spotted Flower Virus in an animal," Gu Zheng said.
Apart from humans, the Spotted Flower Virus didn't exist in other animals. However, in the ghost monkey's body, not just its body, but its hair alone contained a lot of the Spotted Flower Virus. Moreover, the Spotted Flower Virus was still intact. This was very inconceivable, and also the reason why Gu Zheng spared its life.
"Mm, we can't let it escape to the mortal world. Otherwise, who knows how many people it will infect," the artifact spirit said.
"I'm not sparing it because I'm afraid it'll escape to the mortal world."
Gu Zheng paused, then continued, "You don't have the Dao of food, so you can't see the problem. This ghost monkey isn't just a carrier of the virus. There's something in its body that's attracting the Spotted Flower Virus!"
All the ingredients could be 'digitized' in Gu Zheng's eyes. The ghost monkey's ingredients were poisonous, but there was a special gland in its body. In Gu Zheng's eyes, there was a strange light. It was the substance secreted by this gland that attracted and nourished the Spotted Flower Virus.
"What?"
Gu Zheng's words surprised the artifact spirit. Then, her voice became excited, "You're saying that there might be something in this ghost monkey that can overcome the Spotted Flower Virus?"
"Yes, that's the possibility!" Gu Zheng said seriously.
The virus that gathered in the Ghost Monkey's hair was gradually wrapped up by something secreted by its body. In the end, it turned into tiny crystals that were caught by the Ghost Monkey as if they were lice. Then, it threw them into its mouth and ate them.
Gu Zheng wanted to enter the ghost monkey's body with his divine sense to investigate the strange gland, but the ghost monkey resisted very strongly. This made Gu Zheng feel that if he continued, the ghost monkey would die.
"Although your intelligence isn't high, there are some things that you should understand. I can kill your master, and I can kill you as well, so you should cooperate," Gu Zheng said.
"Squeak squeak …"
The ghost monkey in the cage jumped up and down, showing its teeth in response to Gu Zheng's persuasion.
"It might not understand what you're saying," the artifact spirit said.
"No."
Gu Zheng shook his head, "There's a strange light in its eyes. I think it's not that it doesn't understand. It's just that it's not cooperating."
"If you don't know what's good for you, I'll teach you a lesson."
Gu Zheng flicked his finger, and a strand of his' Natal True Flame 'was injected into the ghost monkey's body.
Fire was the nemesis of evil things, and Gu Zheng's' Natal True Flame 'was even more so.
When Gu Zheng controlled the 'Natal True Flame' to continuously release high temperatures into the ghost monkey's body, the ghost monkey jumped up and down and screamed in pain.
It didn't even last five seconds. The ghost monkey, which had been very uncooperative, knelt down in front of Gu Zheng and bowed like a human.
