Gu Zheng stood in front of the pot and looked quite decent.
Glancing at all the ingredients on the side, Gu Zheng analyzed each ingredient and went through the problems he had just summarized in his mind. Then, he waved his hand and put the ingredients one by one into the pot.
He had never made Yaxin food cultivation before. This was his first time, but he had the experience of elemental food cultivation. With this experience, he was much better than Li Ping and the others who were just experimenting. Moreover, his understanding of food cultivation far exceeded Li Ping and the others, so even if he had never done it before, he was confident that he could do it.
Food cultivation was originally created by Lord Gokusen, and Gu Zheng was Gokusen's direct disciple.
All the ingredients were put into the pot, and the fire and water control arts were used at the same time. The soup in the pot gradually took shape, but it was not the black color that Li Ping had cooked before. Instead, it was blue with a hint of green.
"There is nothing wrong with the order of putting it in, but he doesn't have the Yang Transformation Art. Logically speaking, without the Yang Transformation Art, the medicinal properties of the Yaxin Grass would be suppressed by the other ingredients, so only the characteristics of the Yaxin Grass would be displayed. Then, it should be the yellow color of the Yaxin Grass, why is it blue-green?"
Jin Xinsheng stood to the side and whispered with furrowed brows. Gu Zheng's order was the same as Li Ping's. There was no dispute about it, but the result was different. Moreover, he was certain that Gu Zheng did not use the Yang Transformation Art.
He did not use the Yang Transformation Art, but the situation did not occur as they had imagined, which really puzzled him.
However, he also knew that food cultivation was different from other things. It was not something that could be understood just by looking. The method Gu Zheng used, the use of immortal power, and so on were not things that they could see with their eyes.
He only said this one sentence and didn't continue. However, there was one thing he was certain of. Gu Zheng wasn't just talking about it. Perhaps he really knew how to become a food cultivator, but he used a method they didn't understand.
A person who did not know anything could not do this, and they were very clear about this.
The soup in the pot became thicker and thicker, turning more and more green. There were even bursts of green mist coming out of the pot. The soup was boiling, but there was no fragrance coming out, which made Jin Xinsheng and the others very confused.
Normally speaking, cooking was the same as cooking. There would definitely be a fragrance. The stronger the fragrance, the better the final taste. Therefore, no matter how the dish was cooked, as long as it wasn't spoiled or burnt, it would emit a fragrance.
It was the same for food cultivators. If it was not spoiled, it should have a fragrance. This was the nature of all ingredients. Even if it was a medicinal fragrance, it should have some fragrance. However, Gu Zheng had cooked it for so long, and there was no smell at all. This really made them feel strange.
Could it be that Gu Zheng had used some method that they did not know of to seal the fragrance?
Although they didn't understand, no one asked and continued to watch. Soon, the soup in the pot turned green, and Gu Zheng revealed a faint smile on his face.
From the looks of it, everything was going smoothly. The reason why the soup in the pot turned green was because he had been neutralizing all the ingredients, balancing the main ingredients and supplementary ingredients. At the same time, he was trying his best to bring out the effects of all the ingredients.
The effect here was not one plus one equals two, but one plus one is greater than two. They complemented each other, and the effect was multiplied.
The green soup slowly turned dark green, but there was still no fragrance coming out.
In two hours, the dark green soup turned dark blue, and the color was constantly deepening. At this moment, Gu Zheng did not dare to be careless. When the soup turned completely black, the Yaxin Food Cultivator would be done. That would be the crucial moment.
An hour later, the soup finally turned completely black, and a fragrant aroma suddenly filled the entire room.
"It smells so good!"
"I want to eat it so badly!"
"I'm suddenly hungry!"
This fragrance not only filled the room, but also quickly spread out. Some of the East Arrival Pavilion disciples outside kept sniffing, and unnaturally walked towards the direction of the fragrance.
"I heard that Senior Brother Li thought about the Yaxin Food Cultivator. I guess Senior Brother Li succeeded!"
A disciple said enviously. Li Ping successfully made the Yaxin Food Cultivator. It was not only good for the East Arrival Pavilion, it was also a great honor for Li Ping. With Li Ping's cultivation, it was difficult for him to become the Pavilion Master, but it was completely possible for him to be conferred the title of a special elder.
With such a contribution, such a reward was definitely not much.
"It should be a success. Otherwise, it wouldn't be like this!"
The person beside him nodded. They were from the Immortal Chef Sect, and every cultivator was an Immortal Chef. They could make top-notch dishes, but they admitted that they did not have the ability to make such fragrant food.
In the room, Jin Xinsheng and the others looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
Especially Li Ping. Although he knew that the Yaxin Food Cultivator was not finished, with their eyesight, it was not difficult to see that this Yaxin Food Cultivator was about to succeed. They had always wanted to make it, but could not. They had failed many times, and now it was made by an outsider.
And this person was not someone from the Immortal Chef Sect, but a disciple of the first-rate sect, Shushan.
This result was really hard for him to accept.
Jin Xinsheng's heart was also full of shock. They were all people with good eyesight. Not to mention that Gu Zheng was about to succeed, even if he did not succeed, just the progress in front of them was better than what they had researched. It was something that they could not do at present.
He really did not understand. How did someone who did not even know the Yang Transformation Technique achieve this step?
"It's done!"
Gu Zheng suddenly said in a low voice. The fire source under the pot instantly disappeared, and the boiling soup calmed down. The pitch-black soup emitted a rich fragrance, making everyone in front of them want to take a sip.
Fortunately, everyone had status and self-control. Before Gu Zheng said anything, no one moved.
"Everyone, have a taste first!"
Gu Zheng's face was filled with joy as he said softly. After all, this was a new Food Cultivator. It was a Food Cultivator that he had never made before. It was a Food Cultivator that he had made after watching others fail.
"Alright, thank you, Sir!"
Jin Xinsheng did not stand on ceremony. He was the first to step forward and ladled a bowl for himself. The others followed one after another, and each of them received a bowl. Sun Yunsheng and Su Ming were no exception. It was a pity that the Imperial Tutor did not follow, otherwise, he could have also received a bowl.
After all, the Imperial Tutor was only a guide and not someone from Shushan. After arriving at the East Arrival Pavilion, the pavilion treated him differently. Shushan also gave him a generous gift as thanks for leading the way this time.
After taking a sip, Jin Xinsheng closed his eyes.
Not to mention the effect, just the taste alone was enough to make him intoxicated and shocked. Strictly speaking, Food Cultivators were indeed a type of food, so they had always pursued taste. However, it was undeniable that no matter if it was them or the other Immortal Chef Sects, the food cultivators made tasted better than their specialty dishes.
Gu Zheng was different. He did not know how good Gu Zheng's culinary skills were, but based on taste alone, it tasted better than his best food. How could he not be shocked?
Li Ping, Bai Quan, and the others were all knowledgeable people. They were equally shocked in their hearts.
Sun Yunsheng and Su Ming did not think so much. They already knew that Gu Zheng's food was delicious, especially Sun Yunsheng. They had eaten it many times. This was just another delicious food. However, no one would complain about having too much delicious food. Sun Yunsheng's face was filled with excitement as he slowly tasted the Asin Food Cultivator in his hand.
Besides taste, the most important thing about a Food Cultivator was its effect.
After eating a few mouthfuls, Jin Xinsheng's heart sank. Gu Zheng's Asin Food Cultivator was much more effective than the Asin Pill. It was even more effective than he had imagined.
In other words, what Gu Zheng had done was beyond his imagination.
Jin Xinsheng was not stupid. This result showed that Gu Zheng's attainments in Food Cultivators were higher than theirs. It was not just one level higher than theirs. If Gu Zheng had such attainments, then his culinary skills would definitely not be bad.
But then again, if a Food Cultivator could cook better than them, how could his culinary skills be bad?
"I didn't know that Mister had such culinary skills. Please forgive me if I offended you!"
Jin Xinsheng suddenly cupped his fist and bowed to Gu Zheng. This was a very grand ceremony. Kneeling was popular in the mortal world, but not among the immortal cultivators. Among the immortal cultivators, even in the Heavenly Court, it was rare for them to kneel, unless it was a relationship between master and disciple, or father and son.
Therefore, Jin Xinsheng's ceremony was very important. Moreover, he was a Daluo Jinxian.
"Pavilion Master Jin, what are you doing!"
Gu Zheng hurried forward to help him up. Unfortunately, he did not float up at all. Jin Xinsheng still completed the ceremony.
"Mister only saw two failed Food Cultivators, and he actually succeeded in making a Asin Food Cultivator that was better than I imagined. Mister's talent is really admirable!"
Jin Xinsheng said again. When he said it, his heart was still filled with emotion. Li Ping and the others were the same.
Especially Li Ping, he had failed many times. Gu Zheng actually succeeded, which was really beyond his expectations.
"That's because the theory put forward by Pavilion Master Jin is correct!"
Gu Zheng laughed. This Asin Food Cultivator was indeed the theory put forward by Jin Xinsheng. The theory was indeed correct, but there were always problems with their practice, which was why they did not succeed.
"There are too many people who can put forward theories. The most important thing is to succeed!"
Jin Xinsheng shook his head gently. He was very clear that the theory was just a theory. If it did not succeed, it would be useless. They had studied the Asin Food Cultivator for nearly ten thousand years. Even he himself had doubts about the Asin Food Cultivator.
He also understood that Gu Zheng was not lucky, nor was it luck, but strength, or ability.
Gu Zheng's attainments in Food Cultivator was definitely a realm that they could not imagine.
"Pavilion Master Jin, this Asin Food Cultivator can only be stored for half a day. We can't finish the rest. Give some to the other disciples!"
Gu Zheng smiled slightly and did not mention this topic. After all, this was the first time he had made this Asin Food Cultivator. There would be opportunities to improve it in the future. Now, there were still some shortcomings, such as the storage time.
In fact, all Food Cultivators had a shorter storage time than Immortal Pills. This was also one of the shortcomings of Food Cultivators. However, the powerful effects of Food Cultivators made up for this shortcoming. If it could not be stored for a long time, then it was better to finish it early and make more in the future.
Food Cultivators were easier to make than Immortal Pills.
"You mean, everyone in the East Arrival Pavilion can eat it?"
Jin Xinsheng's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked. Gu Zheng smiled and nodded, "It was made with the ingredients here. Of course, your people can eat it!"
"Thank you, Sir!"
Jin Xinsheng cupped his fists again, and immediately ordered the disciples to call the other disciples in the sect over. However, he left enough for them to eat. After all, this was a Food Cultivator that was both delicious and could increase one's cultivation. Especially for Gu Zheng and the other Shushan disciples, they could not be left with less.
In this way, the other disciples could only get a little each, not even half a bowl. And this was because Gu Zheng had made more.
"Master!"
Seeing Jin Xinsheng talking about something else, Li Ping was a little anxious and couldn't help but ask. Jin Xinsheng immediately turned around and glared at him, "Don't talk!"
Seeing his master like this, Li Ping could only shut his mouth, but his face was full of anxiety and pain.
The success of the Asin Food Cultivator was something to be happy about. However, the one who made it was not them, but an outsider. Li Ping had studied the Asin Food Cultivator for so many years, and he desperately wanted to know the correct way to make it.
He originally thought that his master would definitely ask and ask for guidance, but he didn't expect his master to not even mention it. How could he not be anxious?
Jin Xinsheng understood what his disciple was thinking. In fact, he also wanted to know the correct way, but he couldn't ask.
If Gu Zheng was just a disciple of an ordinary sect, he would not hesitate to ask. Even if Gu Zheng didn't say anything, he would make Gu Zheng stay. No matter what, he had to obtain the method to make this Asin Food Cultivator.
Unfortunately, Gu Zheng wasn't an ordinary person. He was from Shushan, and he had the highest seniority in Shushan.
The East Arrival Pavilion couldn't compare to Shushan. Even if the Twelve Immortal Chef Sects united, they wouldn't be willing to make an enemy out of a famous sect like Shushan. One had to know that Shushan had a Quasi-Sage senior. With such a senior around, anyone would have scruples.
He couldn't use force, and he couldn't ask directly.
Judging others by their own standards, the Asin Food Cultivator was definitely a treasure. If others came to them for it, they wouldn't give it to them. So he couldn't ask for it, in case the people of Shushan misunderstood.
After all, Li Ping wasn't the Pavilion Master, so he didn't think too much. It was just that he had spent too much effort on the Asin Food Cultivator, so he wanted to truly understand the method.
All the disciples of the East Arrival Pavilion were given the food cultivator. After eating, they all went back to meditate and cultivate.
Gu Zheng and Sora Aoi were no exception. After eating their fill, they immediately went to the room provided by the East Arrival Pavilion to rest and digest the medicinal effects of the Asin Food Cultivator.
Su Ming and Jin Xinsheng were fine. They were Daluo Jinxian, so the amount of immortal energy that the Asin Food Cultivator gave them was limited. They didn't need to cultivate it, but they could still feel the increase in immortal energy.
To be able to make Daluo Jinxian feel an increase in immortal energy, this Asin Food Cultivator was already not simple. The immortal energy in their bodies was as vast as the stars.
Three days later, Gu Zheng walked out of his room.
The effects of the Asin Food Cultivator were really good. The East Arrival Pavilion's research on this food cultivator was on the right track. It could indeed achieve a better absorption effect. After eating it this time, Gu Zheng's immortal energy had an obvious increase. He was currently at the initial stage of Jin Xian, and had already passed the halfway mark. If he continued cultivating at this rate, he would soon reach the middle stage of Jin Xian.
This time, he could even do it within a year.
Including the time he spent in the Wilderness, it definitely wouldn't exceed three years. From the initial stage of Jin Xian to the middle stage. If this kind of cultivation speed were to spread out, it would definitely shock a group of people.
The Kunlun disciple He Zudao reached the late stage of Jin Xian in three hundred years, and was already highly valued by the Kunlun Sect. He also took sixty to seventy years to reach the middle stage. If he knew that Gu Zheng could reach the middle stage in just a year, what would he think?
"Pavilion Master Jin, Fellow Daoist Li!"
After Gu Zheng left, he went straight to Jin Xinsheng and Li Ping. Even though he was digesting these three days, he didn't stop thinking. He also perfected the Asin Food Cultivator.
"What did you say? The Asin Food Cultivator can still be improved!"
After hearing Gu Zheng's words, Jin Xinsheng and Li Ping were stunned. Gu Zheng actually told them that the Asin Food Cultivator he made previously wasn't without flaws. Even though it was successful, the real effect wasn't perfect.
These days of thinking made him improve a little.
The overall efficacy could be increased by 30%. In addition, the storage time after the food cultivator was made could be extended from half a day to three days.
Although three days wasn't long, it was much better than half a day.
"Yes, I don't know if you still have Asin Grass. I want to try again!"
Gu Zheng nodded. He had a lot of other auxiliary materials for the Asin Food Cultivator, but the main ingredient, Asin Grass, was not. He found the two of them to ask if they still had it. He just wanted to try it again.
"To be honest, we still have Asin Grass, but it will take more than ten days to deliver it!"
Li Ping replied. They did have Asin Grass, but they had to wait for a few days. Gu Zheng was a little disappointed to learn that they didn't have it now, but it was not impossible to wait for more than ten days, as long as they were willing to let him try.
"Fellow Daoist Li, in fact, you just made mistakes in the details before. If you weren't so obsessed with balance, you might have succeeded!"
Without Asin Grass, he couldn't do it now. Gu Zheng simply talked about the problems in Li Ping's food cultivator to help him find out the problems.
After listening for a while, Li Ping and Jin Xinsheng's eyes widened, and their hearts were full of shock. Gu Zheng was pointing out Li Ping's previous mistakes and correcting these mistakes. This was equivalent to teaching them the real way to make food cultivators.
Li Ping had always wanted it, and Jin Xinsheng also wanted it, but they didn't dare to mention it. Gu Zheng actually took the initiative to guide them, which completely shocked the two of them.
Although they were shocked, they didn't dare to miss a single word that Gu Zheng said. Especially Li Ping, who remembered it well. He knew very well that as long as he could correct these mistakes, he would be like Gu Zheng, and be able to successfully create Ya Xin Food Xiu.
"That's all for now. I personally feel that the Asin Food Cultivator is not fully perfected. After it is perfected, we will summarize it together!"
After saying that, Gu Zheng said with some regret. In his opinion, the Asin Food Cultivator could still be improved, but unfortunately, there was no raw material now, so there was no way to do this experiment.
If there were raw materials, he believed that it wouldn't be long before the Asin Food Cultivator would be like his Elemental Food Cultivator and other food cultivators. It would become perfect and reliable, and in the future, it would also become a new food cultivator of his.
