Focusing on the ingredients in front of him, Gu Zheng felt very excited. Since there were no problems with his repeated deductions, now it was time to do this unprecedented food therapy.
Immortal noodles and immortal wine were ordinary things for Gu Zheng.
Spirit Rhino Incense was a spice made from the horn of the exotic beast Spirit Rhino. It was not an ingredient at all. Burning it could connect one to the netherworld. Normally, only demonic cultivators would use it.
Soul-Breaking Grass was a poison. Its toxicity was not targeted at the human body, but at the human soul. Those who ate it would usually have their souls scattered.
Blood-colored Udumbara Flower. Although its toxicity was not very high, it definitely could not be considered an ingredient. It was usually used by demonic cultivators to cultivate some demonic techniques.
The Immortal Bird meat was not the meat of a phoenix. This kind of Immortal Bird was formed from the resentment of the dead. It was often active in unmarked graves and battlefields, eating the flesh or souls of the dead. Its meat was poisonous and was also a resource that demonic cultivators could use.
Thousand Corpse Oil. It was a product used by demonic cultivators to refine corpses.
Buddha Light Sandalwood. It was an extremely precious spice in Buddhism. It had an extremely strong concentration effect. It was said that if one was fated to smell it, they could see the Buddha Kingdom. This was something that Master Xin Jing had given to Gu Zheng on Earth.
Fortunately, after Gu Zheng killed the Devil Cultivators in the past, other than the extremely evil ones, he didn't destroy the rest. Otherwise, if he really needed to use these things, it would be really difficult to find them. Looking at the ingredients, only the immortal noodles and immortal wine could be considered ingredients.
The ingredients this time were a little special. Gu Zheng did not plan to use his immortal kitchen utensils to make these. Although according to his deductions, the food therapy would not end up with smelly things, Gu Zheng still felt a little uncomfortable letting these things stain his immortal kitchen utensils.
Fortunately, there was more than one set of kitchen utensils in the Chaotic Space. Gu Zheng casually took out a set and began to prepare the ingredients.
Gu Zheng mixed Lin Dongliang's blood into the dough with immortal wine. Then, he placed Lin Dongliang at the side to wake him up.
The Spirit Severing Grass was poured into the pot with cold water. When the water boiled, it was scooped out and placed into the steamer. When the water boiled, it was scooped out again and placed back into the pot with cold water. When the water boiled, it was scooped out again and placed into the steamer with cold water. After blanching and steaming three times, Gu Zheng looked at the Spirit Severing Grass that had turned from dark green to light green. Only then did he nod his head in satisfaction.
A blood-colored Udumbara Flower was as big as a bowl, and its petals were as thick as a succulent plant. Gu Zheng squeezed out its juice and discarded the residue.
Gu Zheng chopped up the Undying Bird meat and placed it into a bowl. He added the blood-colored Udumbara Flower juice and stirred it with his chopsticks. At the same time, he used the Wood Control Art to beat it into a bowl of pink paste.
Although many of the ingredients were used by demonic cultivators, only the Thousand Corpses Oil was truly smelly. This oil was a product of refining corpses and had an indescribable stench.
Gu Zheng put the black paste of Thousand Corpses Oil into the pot and then began the process of boiling the oil.
As the temperature of the oil rose, the stench in the air also became more and more intense. Gu Zheng activated the Water Control Spell and from time to time, he would gather some of the unwanted components of the Thousand Corpses Oil together and then use a spoon to scoop them out.
As the temperature of the oil rose higher and higher, the stench in the air became a lot lighter. The originally black Thousand Corpses Oil also turned greyish white. However, for Gu Zheng, this Thousand Corpses Oil was absolutely not up to the standard of use.
When the oil reached a suitable temperature, Gu Zheng scattered the Buddhist Aura Sandalwood that had already been ground into powder into the oil pot.
"Boom!"
The Buddhist Aura Sandalwood directly let out a loud explosion, and the Thousand Corpses Oil in the pot immediately burned.
Ignoring the raging flames, Gu Zheng used his immortal energy to activate the pot. The pot quickly spun above the flames and occasionally threw out some of the flames that Gu Zheng had discarded.
As the pot continued to spin, the originally red flames turned white. The remaining stench in the air was replaced by a faint fragrance.
The oil could be considered to have been boiled. Gu Zheng injected a stream of cold air into the pot, and the flames in the pot immediately extinguished. The liquid oil inside quickly solidified.
However, the solidification was only on the surface. Under the constantly fluctuating surface of the oil, there seemed to be an undercurrent surging.
Temporarily putting the oil to one side, Gu Zheng poured the cooked noodles on the chopping board. Then, he chopped up the Soul-Breaking Grass, together with the blood-colored Udumbara Flower and the paste of the Undying Bird, and poured all of it into the cooked noodles.
Gu Zheng began to knead the dough. He kneaded it over and over again with a particularly focused expression. The dough also underwent a miraculous change under Gu Zheng's hands. The color gradually changed from a mixture of colors to a pink, a bit like the color of raw meat.
The kneading process was very long. After about five minutes, Gu Zheng stopped kneading. Then, a white light flashed in his hands, and he kneaded the originally small dough in his hands.
Following Gu Zheng's kneading, the dough had limbs and facial features.
"Nuwa Creates Man!"
The Weapon Spirit could not help but cry out in surprise. But after that, he immediately covered his mouth, because Gu Zheng was still so focused, as if he had fallen into a special realm.
The immortal technique 'Nuwa Creates Man' was very magical. Many people knew it, but only Goddess Nuwa had grasped the true essence of it. When Gu Zheng was still on Earth, he had a good understanding of the immortal technique 'Nuwa Creates Man'. The snowmen in his Immortal Realm were the best portrayals of it.
Regarding this immortal technique, the Weapon Spirit had always encouraged Gu Zheng to practice more. After all, Goddess Nuwa could also be said to have relied on this immortal technique to become a Holy Immortal.
"I really did not expect that he would actually use 'Nuwa Creates Man' in this diet therapy. I really look forward to seeing the final results of this diet therapy, and what kind of harvest he will reap!" The Weapon Spirit muttered in his heart.
Gu Zheng's dough man had been completed. It began to jump on the table, but unfortunately, it lacked a trace of Spiritual Qi when it moved.
Ignoring the jumping dough man, Gu Zheng put the cooled oil pot on the fire again, and the oil inside quickly began to turn into liquid.
The oil temperature gradually rose, and the fragrance also became much stronger than before. When the oil temperature reached the level that Gu Zheng wanted, he poured the Rhinoceros Fragrance Powder into the overflowing oil.
"Crackle, crackle …"
A miraculous scene occurred. After the Rhinoceros Fragrance Powder entered the pot, the oil continued to splatter. Furthermore, the oil that splashed out was like fireworks blooming on the wok, creating a dreamlike hue.
"It's time."
Gu Zheng muttered, and then pressed the jade slip that contained Lin Dongliang's Divine Sense on the head of the dough man. Under the stimulation of his Immortal Qi, Lin Dongliang's Divine Sense was injected into the dough man's body.
After Lin Dongliang's Divine Sense was injected, the dough man immediately had a sense of spirituality. It ran around on the chopping board happily.
"Go!"
Gu Zheng stretched out his hand, and the dough man rushed toward the oil pot and jumped in.
"Boom!"
The moment the dough man jumped into the pot, it was as if a large stone had been thrown into the pot. At least half of the oil in the pot splashed out.
"Go back!"
Gu Zheng, who had been prepared, waved his hand, and all the oil flying in the air returned to the pot.
"Bang!"
After the oil flew into the pot, Gu Zheng covered the pot with the lid.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang …"
Violent sounds came from the pot, as if there was a live rabbit being fried inside.
Gu Zheng controlled the oil temperature in the pot with one hand, and Immortal Qi flashed in his other hand. He quickly drew a restriction on the lid of the pot.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang …"
The abnormality in the pot did not weaken because of Gu Zheng's restriction. On the contrary, it became more intense.
Gu Zheng frowned. The "tribulation" of food this time was unprecedentedly intense. Something that was not originally food was going to be changed by him through extraordinary means. This was not allowed by the Heavenly Dao!
Gu Zheng drew another restriction on the pot, but the abnormality in the pot became even more intense.
In just a moment, Gu Zheng had drawn as many as seven restrictions on the pot, and at this moment, the abnormality reached its peak. The pot of oil, which was originally on the fire, suddenly bounced up.
Gu Zheng frowned. At this moment, he could not let the pot of oil escape from the burning flames. Otherwise, all his previous efforts would be wasted.
"Ha!"
Gu Zheng shouted. With one hand, he pressed the rising pot of oil to a height of seven feet from the ground, and with his other hand, he continuously activated the Fire Control Art. The flames in the stove continued to rise with the pot of oil, and did not leave the bottom of the pot for even a moment.
At this moment, the scene looked very strange. Gu Zheng raised one hand above his head and pressed down on the lid of the pot. The shaking pot was seven feet from the ground, and below the pot, there was a flame that was three feet high from the stove.
"Come down!"
Gu Zheng furrowed his brows. He finally used the Metal Manipulation Art that he hadn't used all this time. Only then did the floating pot slowly descend. This wasn't an exchange with an ordinary object. This was a confrontation with the Laws! Even though his cultivation was at the late Jin Xian Realm, when the pot landed on the stove, his face was covered in sweat.
When the pot landed on the stove, Gu Zheng quickly drew another restriction on the lid of the pot.
This restriction that Gu Zheng drew was unprecedentedly complex! When Gu Zheng finished drawing the last restriction, the restriction lit up, and the previous restrictions all emitted light.
The white light was weak at first, but after three breaths of time, it became so dazzling that it was difficult to open one's eyes. During these three breaths of time, the restless pot completely calmed down, and a fragrance wafted out from the pot.
The fragrance was very strange. It did not smell like food, but like some kind of spice.
Gu Zheng lifted the lid of the pot, quickly scooped out the dough man, and placed it on a plate. He closed the lid and carried it out of the stone room.
There were two people beside Lin Dongliang. They were a man and a woman. The man was Lin Xin, who had followed Gu Zheng to the mine, and the woman was Lin Yi, Lin Xin's younger sister. The two of them were the cultivators with the highest cultivation levels in the Lin Clan other than Lin Dongliang.
"After Fellow Daoist Lin consumes the food therapy, he will be in a state of death. This state of death will last at most half a month. Depending on the situation, I will wake him up when the time is right," Gu Zheng said.
Lin Xin and Lin Yi did not ask any more questions. They only nodded. Lin Dongliang had already told them what needed to be said.
"It smells very good, but the fragrance is a little strange."
As Lin Dongliang spoke, he opened the lid of the plate. In an instant, Gu Zheng's eyes widened.
Gu Zheng had a habit of not prying into what the Extreme Fragrance was. Therefore, although he knew that the food therapy this time would also transform the Extreme Fragrance, he did not know the specifics.
What made Gu Zheng's eyes widen was not the Extreme Fragrance's transformation, but the mist that formed the Extreme Fragrance's transformation. Traditionally, the mist that formed the Extreme Fragrance's transformation was white, but the mist that covered the plate was black!
"Black Extreme Fragrance's transformation mist? I have never seen it before! "
The tool spirit's surprised voice resounded in Gu Zheng's mind.
"Black, so strange!"
The Lin Family's old ancestor had visited the Immortal Kitchen before, and he had also seen the Extreme Fragrance's transformation. The strange situation in front of him made him involuntarily look at Gu Zheng.
"Don't worry, the food therapy didn't go wrong," Gu Zheng said.
The appearance of the Extreme Fragrance's transformation mist also surprised Gu Zheng. After all, when he was loading the plate, he saw that the Extreme Fragrance's transformation mist was white.
The black mist quickly condensed, and all of it was absorbed into the food therapy. The surrounding people exclaimed at the same time.
"This … This is alive!"
"What is this thing?"
"Can this be eaten?"
The three people of the Lin Family asked one after another, and they were shocked to the extreme.
According to common sense, after being fried, the Dough Man on the plate should have a charred body.
However, at this time, there were no traces of the Dough Man on the plate. Its color was similar to skin color, and it already had very clear facial features! After the Extreme Fragrance's transformation mist entered its body, the Dough Man, who was originally lying down, opened his eyes and began to roll on the plate. However, this roll was not a joyful one. Instead, it was like a baby. It wanted to get up but couldn't, and when its mouth opened and closed, it seemed to be crying.
The Extreme Fragrance's transformation appeared. The human-shaped thing it transformed into was like a ghost, black and fleeting.
"This …"
The Lin Family's Patriarch looked at Gu Zheng, wanting to say something, but hesitated.
"Eat it. Don't waste too much time. This is food therapy, not a monster! After Fellow Lin finishes eating the food therapy, his soul will automatically leave his body. At that time, you can just let his soul stay in the cave. "
There was no time to explain. When Gu Zheng saw the Extreme Fragrance's transformation appear, his head exploded, and he felt sleepy.
Gu Zheng understood that this sleepiness should be coming to a mysterious realm, so he had already rushed out of the stone room as he spoke.
After Gu Zheng left, the Lin Family's people looked at each other.
"Patriarch, this …"
Lin Yi wanted to tell Lin Dongliang not to eat it first, but then she remembered what Gu Zheng said before he left.
"It shouldn't be a problem. No matter what it is, it's very magical, so I'd rather tell you that it's a cure!"
The Lin Family's Patriarch gritted his teeth and pinched the still moving dough man on the plate. He closed his mouth and took a bite.
"How is it?"
Seeing the Patriarch eat the dough man with his eyes closed, Lin Yi and Lin Xin asked in unison.
"It's not as bad as I imagined. It melts in the mouth."
Lin Dongliang opened his eyes and looked at the still moving dough man in his hand that was missing a head. "He didn't put any salt in it, but when I eat it, it'll definitely transform into sweet, sour, bitter, and spicy flavors."
As if he had experienced the vicissitudes of life, tears flowed from the corners of Lin Dongliang's eyes when he said this.
"Dao, only with Dao in it can it transform into endless transformations in one bite!"
Lin Dongliang sighed, then opened his mouth wide and swallowed the remaining dough man in one bite.
While chewing, Lin Dongliang sat down cross-legged. His nervous expression quickly relaxed, and he stopped breathing.
Three seconds after Lin Dongliang stopped breathing, his soul rose from the top of his head and floated aimlessly in the form of a ghost.
Lin Yi and Lin Xi's palms immediately became sweaty, because at this very moment, they still couldn't be sure if the food therapy had any effect.
Last time, when Lin Dongliang chose to die and be reborn to break free from the curse power, his soul quickly returned to his body in excruciating pain as soon as it appeared. However, it was different this time. Lin Dongliang's soul didn't show any signs of pain. It was no different from being truly dead!
Feigning death after death, or rather having an out-of-body experience, the soul still had a certain amount of magic power. Moreover, apart from being a spirit body, the soul was no different from a normal person in many aspects. However, for those who truly died of old age, or those who died due to certain reasons, their souls would be like Lin Dongliang's right now. There would be a certain period of time in a sluggish state. Only when the soul entered the underworld would the sluggish state disappear.
Right now, although Lin Dongliang's soul didn't show any signs of pain, the curse power attached to his soul was still emitting a wave of extreme coldness. It was to the extent that a layer of white frost quickly appeared in the stone room.
"Brother, what do we do now?"
Lin Yi looked at Lin Xin. Her expression was a bit helpless.
"Fellow Bai said before that it would be fine as long as we don't let the soul leave the dwelling. Looking at the current situation, we can't let it remain in this stone room. After all, the ancestor's body is still here. We don't know if this type of extreme coldness will affect his body."
After Lin Xin finished speaking, she opened the stone room's door. Lin Dongliang's originally wandering soul immediately floated out of the stone room as if it was attracted.
"Brother, the curse power in the ancestor's body is still there!" Lin Yi examined Lin Dongliang's body and said to Lin Xin with a sullen expression.
"Don't panic. There's no point in panicking. Fellow Bai said before that the ancestor's state of feigning death would last half a month at most. You go out right now and follow the ancestor's soul closely. I'll guard the ancestor's body here in case something unexpected happens, "said Lin Xin.
"I hope fellow Bai can hurry up and come out. We really don't know what to do!"
Lin Yi muttered to herself as she rushed out of the stone room, following Lin Dongliang's soul closely.
At the same time.
Gu Zheng, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground in the stone room where he cooked the food therapy, fell into a dream.
The colors in the dream were only black and white. Gu Zheng experienced from infancy to old age in this dream.
At this moment, Gu Zheng, whose hair was white and teeth had all fallen out, was sitting under a big tree in front of his house, staring blankly at the setting sun.
"Ninety-eight years have passed in the blink of an eye. What am I looking for?"
"Happiness, anger, sorrow, joy, waning and waning, the rising and falling of the sun and the setting of the moon, the joys and sorrows of partings and reunions. In these ninety-eight years, I have experienced too much."
"Nine is the extreme number. These ninety-nine years are coming. I'm afraid it's my limit. If I still can't comprehend it, I think I will leave this realm and miss this opportunity."
Gu Zheng's old face trembled as he muttered to himself.
"Old man, it's time for dinner!"
The same old female voice sounded. Gu Zheng turned around and saw an old woman standing at the door, smiling at him. He could vaguely see the look of an artifact spirit in her eyes.
"What are you looking at, old man? Come back and eat! "
The old woman rolled her eyes at Gu Zheng, then turned and walked into the courtyard.
Although he knew this was a dream, Gu Zheng still looked at the old woman's back with a touch of tenderness in his eyes. They had been together for a lifetime. His parents and children had already left, but she was always by his side.
"Old woman, I won't eat this meal. I know what I'm looking for."
Thinking back, Gu Zheng looked at the old woman's back as she left. A thought flashed through his mind.
Retracting his gaze from the door, Gu Zheng looked at the sun that was still glaring even though it had already set in the west.
