The two didn't return to the place where they lived. Instead, they used a camouflage spell and flew out of the city.
Gu Zheng wanted to go to the mountain to get some local ingredients and make some delicious food. He could do whatever he wanted in the mountain, but he would be disturbed in the city.
Previously, when they were resting in the city, Gu Zheng had cooked a delicious meal. The fragrance had attracted many people in the inn, and there were even immortal cultivators. Some people invited them to be chefs, and the immortal cultivators directly ordered them to cook a table full of delicious food.
In the end, the two revealed their identities, scaring the cultivator who was only in the Qi Transformation Realm. However, the two lost their nature and didn't cook in the inn anymore.
In terms of public security, the Untainted Land was not as good as the Infernal Land. Although the environment there was bad, the public security was very good. Under the management of the Devil God, there were very few people who broke the law. Even if there were, they didn't dare to do it in the city. The management there was stricter.
Not far from the city, there was a small mountain. The mountain was not big, and it was not occupied by demons. Generally speaking, the mountains near the city would not be occupied by demons, but there would be some Daoist temples, temples, and the like. These places could also have immortal cultivators.
There was nothing on this mountain, so it was convenient for them.
Today's luck was good. They caught a sheep in the mountain, and it was a sheep of medium quality. Medium quality meant that the sheep had eaten some good heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Otherwise, it could only be ordinary at most.
Medium quality sheep would taste better. The sheep was not small, more than 15 kilograms. Gu Zheng was interested and divided the sheep into three portions. One portion was to be roasted, one portion was to be stewed, and the last portion was to be fried.
The remaining sheep bones were made into a pure bone soup by Gu Zheng, and one sheep ate four.
Gu Zheng was multitasking. The lamb ribs were roasted on the grill, the leg of the lamb was stewed, and the bone soup was boiled on the other side.
After stewing, Gu Zheng put the cut lamb into the pot and began to stir-fry. The four dishes were cooked at the same time. In a while, the whole lamb feast would be ready. Sora couldn't help much, so she temporarily made a set of table and chairs out of stone. Although it was simple, it was very exquisite. She placed it on the side.
Even the surrounding environment had been cleaned up, which made it even more enjoyable to eat.
Not long after, four dishes were served. Gu Zheng even took out a jar of five kilograms of celestial wine, and the two of them prepared to feast.
"Not bad, not bad. It smells so good!"
The two of them hadn't even started when they suddenly stood up. A person had appeared out of nowhere and was walking towards them. As he walked, he exclaimed in admiration. When he arrived, he didn't hold back at all. Seeing that there were only two chairs on the stone table, he directly lifted up the soil on the ground and made it into a chair before sitting down.
"Who are you?"
Gu Zheng asked in a deep voice. Sora Aoi also looked at him nervously. Neither of them sat down.
It didn't matter how this person appeared. The key was that Gu Zheng and Sora Aoi didn't notice his appearance. Even the Artifact Spirit didn't warn them. This was really strange, and it made Gu Zheng extremely vigilant.
"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I am He Zudao, a disciple of Kunlun!"
The person stood up and cupped his fists towards Gu Zheng and Sora Aoi. Then he sat down again and kept smelling the fragrance of the delicious food on the table. His throat was also constantly swallowing.
"I came uninvited, but I won't eat for free. I have a jar of Kunlun Wine here. You provide the dishes, and I provide the wine. No one loses out!"
He Zudao stretched out his hand, and a small wine jar appeared in his hand. He placed the wine jar on the table and carefully opened the lid of the wine jar. As soon as the lid was opened, a strong fragrance spread in all directions.
This fragrance made Gu Zheng couldn't help but breathe in. Soon, his expression changed slightly.
"High-grade!"
The quality of the wine that He Zudao took out was actually high-grade. It was equivalent to saying that this was the best wine. Moreover, the fragrance was particularly attractive. Even Gu Zheng was attracted by it.
"It's okay. This wine can be drunk. Don't worry!"
The Artifact Spirit's voice suddenly sounded. As soon as she spoke, Gu Zheng immediately asked, "How did this person come out? Why didn't you warn me just now?"
"He has been here all along. You just didn't notice. Moreover, he has no malicious intent. Why should I warn you?"
The Artifact Spirit bluntly replied. Gu Zheng was stunned. It turned out that this person had been here all along. He didn't know what kind of concealment method he used. Even he didn't notice this person's existence. When they finished cooking, this person suddenly appeared.
In this way, this person really didn't have any malicious intent. If he did, he would have had many opportunities to take action. It was estimated that he saw that Gu Zheng's food was too good. Finally, he couldn't help but come out and want a share of the soup.
This person didn't eat for free. Not only did he take out wine, but it was also a high-grade wine. The value of this wine was far higher than Gu Zheng's table of dishes.
"Let's eat!"
After a moment of silence, Gu Zheng sat down and said softly. Since the other party didn't have any malicious intent and just wanted to eat, then let him eat. Moreover, his wine was indeed very attractive to Gu Zheng. Since Gu Zheng wanted to drink other people's wine, he couldn't not let them eat his dishes.
"Come and taste our Kunlun Brew!"
This person was called He Zu Dao. The person who suddenly appeared was very friendly. As soon as Gu Zheng said eat, he immediately grabbed a roasted lamb chop and put it in his mouth. He also took out a pair of chopsticks and ate the stewed lamb and stir-fried lamb.
He poured a cup of wine for Gu Zheng and * * *, then ignored them and ate by himself.
"Fragrant, the taste is really good. I haven't eaten something so delicious for a long time. Are you an immortal chef?"
While eating, his mouth didn't stop and he kept talking. After He Zu Dao appeared, Gu Zheng probed his strength. This person's strength had already reached Jin Xian's late Jin Xian, two levels higher than him.
In addition to strength, there was another important point. This person was a disciple of Kunlun. Kunlun was the number one sect on Earth. In the Untainted Land, it was also one of the top sects. Its status was even higher than Shu Mountain.
The reason wasn't that Kunlun had many disciples. On the contrary, Kunlun didn't have many disciples in the Untainted Land. Compared to Shu Mountain, which had hundreds of thousands of immortal disciples, Kunlun probably didn't even have ten thousand immortal disciples.
The main reason why Kunlun's status was higher than Shu Mountain's was because the founder of Kunlun was the Queen Mother of the West.
The Queen Mother of the West was not the Queen Mother of the Immortal World's Heavenly Court. On Earth, many myths and legends mixed them together. This was a big mistake. Some people probably thought that they were the same person because they heard the same name.
The Queen Mother of the West was one of the Ten Sages of the Immortal World. A sect founded by a Sage naturally had a high status.
Gu Zheng nodded slightly. He also picked up his wine cup and took a sip of He Zudao's Lady of Kunlun.
The wine stopped after entering his mouth. It didn't melt, but there was a rich and crisp fragrance that spread quickly through his body from the tip of his tongue. Gu Zheng couldn't help but swallow the wine in his mouth.
This wine was of a high grade. It was extraordinary. The crisp fragrance didn't disperse. Instead, it accumulated in his body. Gu Zheng felt that his entire body was emitting a wine fragrance.
This wine was really good.
Although Gu Zheng rarely drank in the Untainted Land, it wasn't that he was ignorant. He couldn't brew such a wine at the moment. Moreover, it was of a high grade. This meant that all the ingredients used to brew this wine were of a high grade. Just this point alone made this wine very valuable.
"The wine is good, right? Let me tell you, I usually don't bear to drink this Kunlun Brew. If it weren't for the delicious taste you made, I wouldn't bear to take out this Kunlun Brew!"
He Zudao looked at Gu Zheng's intoxicated expression and said with a smile.
He was right. He didn't have much of this Kunlun Brew and usually didn't bear to drink it. This time, he wanted to eat the food made by Gu Zheng and didn't have any other good things to take out. Therefore, he brought out this Kunlun Brew.
"What were you doing in such a place before?"
After being silent for a while, Gu Zheng asked. This wine was really good. Not to mention a cup, even a small sip was better than the food he made.
"You knew?"
This time, it was He Zudao's turn to be surprised. He had been here since Gu Zheng and Gu Zheng. He saw Gu Zheng and Gu Zheng catch a sheep here, process it, and use it to make four kinds of delicious food. Finally, he was attracted by the delicious food and couldn't help showing up.
Gu Zheng nodded and didn't say anything.
"That's not right. If you had found me earlier, you wouldn't have looked like that just now!"
He Zudao was puzzled, but soon there was a hint of realization. "You didn't find me, but after I came out, you guessed that I had been here all the time and didn't suddenly come?"
Gu Zheng nodded again. This made sense, but he didn't guess. It was the Device Spirit who told him.
"No wonder, I have the Kunlun Jade with me. How could ordinary people find me in advance?"
He Zudao laughed and continued, "I was purely bored and came out to relax. I didn't expect to meet you. It's fate that brought us together. I ate your food and you drank my wine. From now on, we are friends. Since we are friends, I introduced myself just now. Shouldn't you also introduce yourselves?"
"My name is Gu Zheng. This is my senior brother Gu Zheng. We came from the Mortal World and just arrived in Untainted Land. We are going to Mount Shu!"
Gu Zheng introduced briefly. Hearing that Gu Zheng came from the Mortal World, He Zudao's eyes widened and immediately became more interested.
"You are also from the Mortal World. Which Mortal World are you from?"
Gu Zheng looked at He Zudao and replied, "We are from Earth!"
"Earth, I think I have heard of it. I am also from the Mortal World. I came from the Kunxu Realm 500 years ago!"
The Kunxu Realm was a Mortal World like Earth. It was a little bigger than Earth. However, like Earth, it didn't have Immortal Force and relied purely on resources to cultivate. The Immortal Force of the 3,000 Mortal Worlds was extracted and provided to the Immortal World.
In fact, there was no Immortal World in the Upper Nine Realms. The Immortal World was separated from the Untainted Land. At first, it used the Immortal Force of the Untainted Land. Later on, the Immortal Force of the Untainted Land couldn't support the Immortal World anymore.
This made the other Eight Realms very unhappy. However, the Untainted Land was too powerful and they could only accept it in the end.
Gu Zheng was slightly moved. He didn't know where the Kunxu Realm was and it wasn't important. The important thing was that He Zudao mentioned 500 years ago. If He Zudao came to the Untainted Land 500 years ago, then it meant that he only used 500 years to go from the early stage of Jin Xian to the late stage.
500 years to go from the early stage to the late stage of Jin Xian. This cultivation speed was much faster than others. It was enough to shock everyone.
Not to mention 500 years, even if one could reach the late stage of Jin Xian in 5,000 years, he would be considered a genius. For example, the founder of the Emei Sect, Immortal Mei, used more than 3,000 years to cultivate to the late stage of Jin Xian after coming to the Untainted Land from Earth. He became a famous cultivation genius in the Untainted Land.
He came 500 years ago, but it didn't necessarily mean that he reached the late stage of Jin Xian in 500 years. It might have taken him 400 years, 300 years, or even less. After all, he was already at the late stage of Jin Xian. Gu Zheng didn't know exactly when he reached the late stage of Jin Xian. He could only be sure that it wasn't more than 500 years ago.
"People who can come out of the Mortal World are indeed extraordinary. Brother He reached the late stage of Jin Xian in 500 years. I admire you!"
Gu Zheng clasped his hands and said sincerely. Sora Ao was stunned. He stopped chewing the lamb chop in his mouth and stared blankly at He Zudao.
500 years! Even in the Untainted Land, it was extremely rare to reach the late stage of Jin Xian in 500 years. Sora Ao was not a person who didn't know anything. He had been in contact with people from the Untainted Land as early as the Flourishing Method Era. He also had Lian Yuxin from the Emei Sect, so he was very clear about the cultivation speed in the Untainted Land.
To reach the late stage of Void Return from the Qi Transformation Realm in 500 years was already considered a genius. This person actually reached the late stage of Jin Xian from the early stage of Jin Xian, which was really shocking.
"Brother Gu, I didn't show my strength. How can you tell that I'm at the late stage of Jin Xian?"
This time, it was He Zudao's turn to be surprised. He also stared blankly at Gu Zheng. It was fine if Gu Zheng knew that he had been here, but he didn't expect that Gu Zheng could even know his true realm. This was something that he wouldn't know if he didn't take the initiative to show it or if he fought.
"Just like how Brother He can hide yourself, I also have a little secret!"
Gu Zheng smiled slightly. He Zudao was stunned again, then he laughed. "Brother Gu, you're right. Come, let's continue drinking!"
He Zudao's Kunlun Brew was really tasty. He wasn't stingy and had enough wine. Gu Zheng drank a total of seven cups, while Sora Ao drank five cups.
The Kunlun Brew was too strong. Even if they were Jin Xian, they couldn't drink too much. If they were in the Celestial Immortal Realm, they would be drunk with just one cup. Perhaps only those in the Daluo Jinxian Realm could drink this wine casually.
The wine was good, the dishes were good, and since they all came from the Lower Realm, the three of them had a lot in common. After a meal, they became familiar with each other.
"No wonder I heard your names familiar. So you're the two people who pretended to be from Shu Mountain. Interesting, interesting!"
He Zudao laughed loudly. He had also heard the news that two people were pretending to be Shu Mountain disciples. After all, the Sanxian Cave wanted to take revenge on Gu Zheng. They were doing their best to spread the news. Now that the Nanzhan Department Continent was in an uproar, it wouldn't be long before the people of the Dongsheng Divine Continent knew about it too.
"Hmph, the people of the Sanxian Cave are courting death!"
Sora Ao snorted angrily. If He Zudao hadn't told them, they wouldn't have known that the two of them had inexplicably become imposters.
"It's normal for them to do this. We're not imposters. Ignore them!"
Gu Zheng smiled and shook his head. It was easy to understand why the Sanxian Cave would do this. They wanted to take revenge on them, but this time, they were shooting themselves in the foot. It was fine if the news didn't spread to Shu Mountain. If it did, it would prove that they weren't imposters. Wouldn't it be directly exposed that they had made things difficult for the Shu Mountain disciples?
The matter had become so big that almost the whole world knew about it. At that time, no matter what, Shu Mountain would have to give the Sanxian Cave an explanation.
"Yes, don't worry about them!"
He Zudao also laughed. He believed in Gu Zheng and Sora Ao. Moreover, he also came from the Mortal World, so he knew more about the situation of the people in the Mortal World after they came to the Untainted Land. In addition, he was happy to see the Sanxian Cave make a fool of themselves.
The whole lamb and four dishes were eaten up by the three of them. After eating and drinking to his heart's content, He Zudao patted his stomach in satisfaction.
"Brother Gu, your cooking skills are really excellent. I didn't expect that a Sect Leader like you would have such good cooking skills. I've decided that I'll go to Shu Mountain with you. It just so happens that I'm also going to Shu Mountain to visit an old friend!"
Gu Zheng's cooking was so delicious that he wanted to eat it a few more times. However, Gu Zheng was going back to Shu Mountain. If he wanted to eat, he had to follow him. Therefore, he came up with a lame excuse of visiting a friend in Shu Mountain.
However, he did know a friend in Shu Mountain, so he could visit him. Gu Zheng understood his thoughts and did not point it out. He Zudao had a good temper. He had also drunk his food for a long time and had drunk to his heart's content. Naturally, he would not refuse such a small reason.
After returning to the city and resting for another day, the two of them set off together with He Zudao. When they were leaving, Gu Zheng found out that He Zudao had just come here from the Dongsheng Divine Prefecture. He had just passed through this desert. Because of him, Gu Zheng was going back now.
Gu Zheng just shook his head. At the same time, he felt a little proud. This showed that his cooking skills were really good, so people were willing to go with him because of his cooking skills.
"There are many people going in and out of Shakou Town below. After Shakou Town, it's the desert!"
Dongsha City was not the place closest to the desert. It could only be the city closest to the desert. There were a few small towns on the edge of the desert. There were not many people. This was the real place to enter and leave the desert.
The environment here was not good. There was no production. In addition, there might be ferocious beasts in the desert. There were not many people in the town, and they were all cultivators. It was also because there were many people gathered here that small towns were formed. At least there was a safe place to gather at the entrance and exit of the desert.
There were indeed many people going in and out of Shakou Town. Some people were riding horses, and some were walking. Some went out, and some came back. However, there were obviously more people going out than coming back.
There was a lot of wealth in the desert. At the same time, there were also great dangers. It was not bad if five out of ten people who entered the desert came out. Although the mortality rate was so high, many people still came here to fight for wealth or for their future.
