The Ghost Messenger could sense a special aura that ordinary people could not sense, so he knew that Lin Xin and Lin Yi's cultivation were at the Void Return realm. As for Gu Zheng's realm, although it was equivalent to the late stage of Jin Xian, it was not an exaggeration for the Ghost Messenger to say that he was Daluo Jinxian. After all, his strength was not inferior to the early stage of Daluo Jinxian.
"This is indeed an out-of-body experience, so you can't take it away." Gu Zheng said indifferently.
"This soul is specified by the higher-ups. Although you are very strong, you can interfere with the Underworld's law enforcement. Be careful that there will be endless trouble."
Although the Ghost Messenger's strength was only at the middle stage of Jin Xian, there was still someone above him. Therefore, after a short period of shock, he was no longer afraid. However, when he spoke to Gu Zheng, his voice and expression were restrained.
"It's normal for the Underworld to want a strong soul, but it's also normal for you to not be able to get the soul you want. For example, I'll kill you!"
Gu Zheng's voice paused, and the Ghost Messenger was so scared that he immediately took a step back.
"Or in other words, it's convenient for you to help others!" Gu Zheng said again.
Gu Zheng did not want to kill the Ghost Messenger. Although he wanted to cure Lin Jiadong, he had no enmity with the Ghost Messenger. His words also woke up Lin Xin, who was at daggers drawn.
"That's right, it's convenient for you to help others. It's normal for you to not be able to get the soul you want! As long as you let go of my ancestor's soul, the benefits will naturally be great for you! "
Lin Xin smiled. Even though he was born in a merchant family, the smile on his face was very profiteering.
"Hehe, I should have said that earlier. There's nothing in this world that can't be done with money!"
The Ghost Messenger also smiled. The smile on his face was very similar to Lin Xin's.
"This relationship is good. What do you want? As long as it's not too much, we'll satisfy you! "
Lin Yi also smiled, but she did not know that the reason why the Ghost Messenger's attitude changed so quickly was because when Gu Zheng threatened the Ghost Messenger, he had already activated the Earth Control Art and sealed the Ghost Messenger's Earth Escape Technique. With their escape route sealed, if the Ghost Envoys still didn't understand the situation, then they really didn't want to be ghosts anymore.
With Gu Zheng's appearance, the originally difficult problem was easily solved. The ghost officers did not dare to go overboard. After asking Lin Xin for a few resources that were useful for ghost cultivators, they left Lin Dongliang's cave residence.
A crisis was easily resolved by Gu Zheng. Lin Xin and Lin Yi thanked Gu Zheng for this.
On the third day of Lin Dongliang's treatment, which was equivalent to the ninth day, when it was midnight again, no matter if it was Lin Dongliang's body or his soul, the curse power no longer existed.
"Great!"
When they could no longer feel the power of the curse, Lin Xin and Lin Yi cheered together.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, how should we return my ancestor's soul to its rightful place?"
Lin Yi was a little worried. Facing Lin Dongliang's still sluggish soul, she really didn't know what else she could do to make Lin Dongliang's soul return to his body and recover.
However, although Lin Yi was worried, she was not worried because she knew that Gu Zheng definitely had his own unique method.
Sure enough, Gu Zheng's method was unique enough. He took out the leftover oil from the food therapy.
To Gu Zheng, the food therapy that Lin Dongliang ate was medicine, and the leftover oil in the pot was the medicinal primer. When the medicinal primer came into contact with the medicine, it would have a targeted effect.
Gu Zheng ignited the pot of oil. There was no unpleasant smell at all, as if he had lit incense.
The stone room was filled with the smell of incense, and Lin Dongliang's wandering soul gradually recovered its clarity.
Moreover, the ignited medicinal primer did not simply restore Lin Dongliang's clarity. In Lin Dongliang's body, the remaining medicinal power was activated. Under the effect of the medicinal power, Lin Dongliang's heart began to beat, his blood began to circulate, and all the functions of his body were recovering.
Lin Dongliang's soul had completely recovered its clarity. At the same time, he also understood what had happened during this period of sluggishness.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Bai!"
After hurriedly thanking Gu Zheng, Lin Dongliang's soul returned to his body.
Lin Dongliang was cured, and Gu Zheng also obtained the Northern Reed Immortal Ginseng as he wished.
Apart from that, Lin Dongliang, who had been reborn, also prepared an additional gift for Gu Zheng as a way of thanking him for saving his life twice.
Lin Dongliang knew that Gu Zheng was an Immortal Chef, so he gave him four high-grade ingredients and twelve high-grade ingredients, as well as some high-purity black gold and black iron.
Lin Dongliang's illness had just been cured, so his body was still weak. He wanted to invite Gu Zheng to a banquet, so he left this matter to Lin Xin and Lin Yi.
Huang Qi and Yang Jue were still waiting for Gu Zheng in the Lin family. In Lin Yi and Lin Xin's eyes, Lin Dongliang's recovery was thanks to Huang Qi and Yang Jue, who had brought the Lin family such a lucky star. Therefore, they added Huang Qi and Yang Jue to the banquet.
Lu Xia Town's most famous dish, although it did not come from the Drifting Fragrance House that Gu Zheng had visited before, was closely related to the Drifting Fragrance House. This was because the Drifting Fragrance House was opened by Lu Piaoxiang, and Lu Piaoxiang herself was an Immortal Chef.
Lu Piaoxiang was a woman, and her cultivation base was at the late-stage Void Return realm. Although Immortal Chefs could cook food, and their cultivation speed was faster than ordinary people, their speed would not be as fast as Gu Zheng's. After all, when their cultivation base advanced, they still needed to comprehend that hurdle, which greatly reduced their cultivation speed.
Lu Piaoxiang was originally a member of an Immortal Chef Sect. Later on, due to some matters, she left that sect and returned to her hometown, Lu Xia Town, where she opened the Drifting Fragrance House.
Although Lu Piaoxiang opened the Drifting Fragrance House, she only taught some cooking skills to the chefs. She herself lived a leisurely life in Lu Xia Town. Unless it was a very important guest, it was very difficult to eat her dishes.
For the Lin family, inviting Gu Zheng to a banquet was a big matter. Therefore, Lin Yi and Lin Xin brought Gu Zheng, Huang Qi, and Yang Jue to Lu Piaoxiang's private kitchen, the Extreme Fragrance House.
When Gu Zheng heard that Lu Piaoxiang's private kitchen was also called the Extreme Fragrance House, his eyes could not help but light up. After all, the Immortal Chef Store he opened on Earth was also called the Extreme Fragrance House.
The Extreme Fragrance House was built in Lu Piaoxiang's manor. After Gu Zheng and the others arrived at the manor, they were led by a boy. Following a secluded winding path, they arrived at the Extreme Fragrance House amidst a sea of bamboo.
"What kind of wind blew the two Fellow Daoists of the Lin family here?"
Lu Piaoxiang looked to be in her early forties. With her bright eyes and white teeth, she was a typical beautiful woman.
"Today, we invited a few guests, so we came to Fellow Daoist Lu's Extreme Fragrance House!" Lin Xin said with a smile.
"Good, please come in!" Lu Piaoxiang said.
The layout of the Extreme Fragrance House was the same as Gu Zheng's Extreme Fragrance House. It was a small two-story building with a large hall and several private rooms on each floor.
"There are no other guests today, right?" Lin Xin asked.
"Fellow Daoist Lin wants to sit in the 'Peony Room', right? Unfortunately, there is a guest here today, and he is sitting in the 'Peony Room'! "Lu Piaoxiang said with a smile.
The private rooms in the Extreme Fragrance House were all named after flowers, and there was no distinction between them. However, the 'Peony Room' had a 'Spirit Concentrating Incense' by the window. This was the time when the 'Spirit Concentrating Incense' was blooming, so being able to enjoy the flowers while eating was a wonderful thing.
Lin Xin shrugged, then looked at Gu Zheng and said: "Unfortunately, Fellow Daoist Lu's place is usually very idle. I didn't think that there would be other guests today, and they would be sitting in the 'Peony Room'."
"No problem, since there is someone in the 'Peony Room', we can sit in any room."
Looking at Gu Zheng, Lu Piaoxiang seemed to have thought of something and her beautiful eyes lit up: "Fellow Daoist, is your surname Bai?"
"Hmm?"
Even though Gu Zheng didn't directly answer Lu Piaoxiang, his reaction could be considered a tacit acknowledgment.
"It really is Fellow Daoist Bai! I didn't think that a fierce dragon like you would come to my Extreme Fragrance House. Your presence really brings light to my humble dwelling ah! Since it is fate that we meet, I have decided to give Fellow Daoist Bai a free dish! "
Lu Piaoxiang looked at Gu Zheng with a smile that was like a blooming flower.
Lin Yi smiled and said: "Fellow Daoist Lu, who has always liked to haggle over every ounce, actually took the initiative to give someone a free dish. This is truly a rare occurrence!"
Lin Yi smiled and said: "I'm not haggling over every ounce, but doing business has its own rules. Since you came to my Extreme Fragrance House, you naturally have to follow the rules on the menu. As for giving Fellow Daoist Bai an extra gift, this is indeed a rare occurrence. However, Fellow Daoist Bai is not an ordinary person. He is worthy of me, Lu Piaoxiang, giving him a free dish! "
Lu Piao Xiang was also smiling, but between the two women's words, the glint and shadow of swords were already very obvious.
"Little Sister."
Lin Xin glared at Lin Yi with a reproachful look.
"Since Fellow Daoist Lu is giving it to me, I will accept Fellow Daoist's good intentions."
Gu Zheng understood that Lu Piaoxiang treated him differently because she knew that he had trampled on the Chen Clan and wanted to befriend him. Taking the initiative to give him a free dish was not a big deal for Gu Zheng. If he accepted it, then so be it. There was no need to brush away her face.
Lu Piaoxiang nodded at Gu Zheng with a smile and did not say anything else.
"Since there are people in the 'Peony Room', then let's sit in the 'Winter Plum Room'!"
Lin Xin chose a new room. After Lu Piaoxiang brought everyone to the 'Peony Room', Lin Xin handed the menu to Gu Zheng.
Lin Xin said: "Fellow Daoist Bai, feel free to order whatever you want!"
Gu Zheng smiled and said: "Fellow Daoist Lin will be the host. Fellow Daoist Lin can just order whatever you want."
Lin Xin smiled and handed the menu to Huang Qi and Yang Jue: "Since Fellow Daoist Lin is not ordering, then you two will order!"
"Fellow Daoist Lin, you should order!"
"The guest will follow the host's order. Fellow Daoist Lin, please order!"
Huang Qi and Yang Jue also knew that if the Lin Family only wanted to thank them, they would not choose to hold a banquet in a place like the Extreme Fragrance House. After all, this was an Immortal Chef's private kitchen. The price of a meal here was even more expensive than eating in the Immortal Chef Store! Therefore, they were very tactful and acted with propriety.
"Although the three Fellow Daoists did not order, the quality of the dishes must not be low. After all, our Lin Family really wants to thank the three of you, especially Fellow Daoist Bai!"
Lin Yi smiled at Gu Zheng and the others, then ordered eight dishes and two soups, including the Extreme Fragrance House's six signature dishes.
"Go ahead! I don't mind telling you that Fellow Daoist Bai is also an Immortal Chef. Don't mess it up! "Lin Yi looked at Lu Piaoxiang and snorted.
"Fellow Daoist Bai is also an Immortal Chef?" Lu Piaoxiang's eyes lit up.
Gu Zheng did not say anything and only nodded with a smile.
"Which Immortal Chef sect does Fellow Daoist Bai come from? Could it be one of my senior brothers or martial uncles? "Lu Piaoxiang joked.
Gu Zheng laughed: "I did not join a sect. My master is a rogue cultivator!"
"No matter what, since Fellow Daoist Bai is an Immortal Chef, I will have to concentrate on cooking the dishes you ordered this time. Excuse me!"
Lu Piaoxiang turned and left after saying that. Lin Xin followed, as if she had something to say to her.
Eight dishes and two soups. Even if an Immortal Chef needed less time to cook than an ordinary person, it still made Lu Piaoxiang busy for a while.
Lu Piaoxiang was an Immortal Chef, so the eight dishes and two soups she made were naturally not bad. Soon, the dishes entered everyone's stomachs.
However, Gu Zheng's culinary skills were much higher than Lu Piaoxiang's. Although Lu Piaoxiang's culinary skills were not bad, it was not to the point where Gu Zheng could eat heartily. He ate the least of the dishes on the table.
"We have really made a fool of ourselves in front of Fellow Daoist Bai. You did not eat much of the dishes on the table."
Lin Yi looked at Gu Zheng and smiled embarrassedly. Although the Lin Family was very rich, they could not not always come to the Extremely Fragrant Small Hut to eat. Therefore, the dishes on the table were very tempting to her. Among everyone, she also ate a lot.
"It's fine. I am also an Immortal Chef. Delicious food is just a common occurrence for me," Gu Zheng said.
"Then, I wonder if I will be lucky enough to eat Fellow Daoist Bai's delicacies?" Lin Yi winked at Gu Zheng.
"If you have time, of course you can."
Gu Zheng smiled, which could be considered as a tactful refusal.
Originally, Gu Zheng had planned to go to the Chen Family's auction to take a look since it was about to start. However, who would have thought that because of Chen Ling, Gu Zheng would ruthlessly trample on the Chen Family. Therefore, he did not plan to go to the auction again. If there was nothing else, he planned to leave the Luxia Town tomorrow and travel to a new place.
"Okay, then let's talk about it when we have time!"
Lin Yi also smiled and did not say anything more on this issue.
"Honorable guest, this is a special dish that our shopkeeper has prepared for you!"
The beautiful waitress placed the last dish in front of Gu Zheng.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, quickly open it and take a look. I predict that this is a dish that is not on the menu!" Lin Xin said excitedly.
"Okay."
Gu Zheng smiled and opened the lid on the plate. A white mist quickly condensed inside the dish, and then an extremely fragrant dish appeared.
The extremely fragrant dish took the form of two birds. They both had tasty tail feathers, and as they played with each other, they happily danced around the plate.
"Fellow Daoist Lu is really generous. He actually used phoenix meat!"
Lin Yi laughed loudly. Phoenix meat was a high-grade ingredient, and this dish also had a special meaning.
"Hmph, this slut!"
Lin Yi looked at the phoenixes on the plate and gritted her teeth as she whispered.
"Honorable guest, our shopkeeper said that after you try this' Flying Wing to Wing ', you have to give a review!" the beautiful waitress said with a smile.
"Okay, then I will try this' Flying Wing to Wing to Wing '!"
Gu Zheng was very natural. He did not seem to be uncomfortable with the special meaning of this dish.
The overall color of this dish was fiery red, and the shape of the food was a pair of phoenixes.
"The extremely fragrant dish has already appeared. The fragrance of the food is needless to say."
"The phoenix and the phoenix are very lively. The color of the food is there."
Gu Zheng briefly talked about the color and fragrance, and then he started to taste this' Flying Wing to Wing to Wing '.
The phoenix and the phoenix used different ingredients. This was something that Gu Zheng could tell at a glance. He used his chopsticks a total of four times, twice each on the phoenix and twice on the phoenix.
"I have to say, the taste of this' Flying Wing to Wing to Wing 'is the most outstanding among all the dishes on the table!"
"There are a total of nine ingredients used in the phoenix. Among them, the phoenix meat and seven-leaf pulp are high-grade ingredients, and the other seven are excellent ingredients. Due to the addition of the high-grade ingredient seven-leaf pulp, the taste of the phoenix is sweet and charming. It greatly stimulates the appetite and makes people want to eat more. "
"There are a total of five ingredients used in the phoenix. Among them, only the phoenix meat is a high-grade ingredient, and the other four are excellent ingredients. Due to the addition of the excellent ingredient Flame Pepper, the taste of the phoenix is filled with a warm spicy fragrance. It also makes people want to eat more. "
Listening to Gu Zheng's comments and smelling the spicy and sour fragrance of the 'Flying Wing to Wing to Wing', even Lin Yi, who didn't like Lu Piaoxiang, couldn't help but swallow a few times.
It had to be said that Lu Piaoxiang had put a lot of thought into this dish. Whether it was the name of the dish, the taste, or the number of ingredients, they all contained a metaphor. Even the shape of the phoenix on the plate meant that the phoenix was looking for the phoenix. However, these things, Gu Zheng understood and did not point it out. They were like passing clouds.
"Fellow Daoists, don't just stand there. Let's all have a taste!" Gu Zheng said to everyone.
"No, this dish is a gift from our shopkeeper. Only special people can enjoy it!" The maid hurriedly said.
"I've already been the first to taste it. There's no harm in letting the others have a taste." Gu Zheng said.
"That's right. It's so delicious, why don't we try it? Wouldn't we be letting down Fellow Daoist Lu's good intentions?"
Lin Yi smiled very happily. She was the first to pick up some phoenix meat with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth and fiercely chewed.
"Hmph!"
The maid angrily snorted and turned to leave the private room.
Not long after, Lu Piaoxiang came in with a plate.
"Fellow Daoist Bai is very generous. You only tasted the food I gave you a few times before giving it away." Lu Piaoxiang glanced at Gu Zheng angrily.
Gu Zheng chuckled and changed the topic, "Fellow Daoist Lu, what are you trying to do? Our dishes seem to have all been prepared! "
"This is also exclusive to you. It can be considered a food cultivation that I, Lu Piaoxiang, created. Before, after you ordered, Fellow Daoist Lin chased after me to order this food cultivation." Lu Piaoxiang said.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, you are too polite!"
Gu Zheng shook his head. This meal was already very expensive, but he didn't expect that there would be another food cultivation waiting for him.
"Fellow Daoist Bai's great kindness to our Lin family can be repaid with a meal? Having an additional food cultivation was not a big deal! Besides, Fellow Daoist Bai's cultivation is deep, so the effect of this food cultivation shouldn't be too big. "Lin Xin smiled.
Gu Zheng smiled and accepted this unknown food cultivation.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, you said that this food cultivation was created by you. What kind of food cultivation does it belong to?" Gu Zheng asked.
"It belongs to the most common elemental boosting food cultivation. This is also a kind of improvement that I made. The resources used are not too much, but the effect is comparable to the high-grade elemental boosting food cultivation sold by the Immortal Kitchen Store." Lu Piaoxiang proudly said.
"Then I will have to taste it properly!"
Gu Zheng took the lid off the plate. The food cultivation on the plate looked like a slice of pancake.
"A little interesting."
Gu Zheng faintly smiled. Although there were many different types of food cultivation, he had never made a pancake like this before.
The food appeared 'digitally' in front of Gu Zheng's eyes. Without tasting it, Gu Zheng knew what ingredients were used in this food cultivation. However, since Lu Piaoxiang didn't ask for a comment, he didn't say anything and directly picked up his chopsticks to eat.
