Gu Zheng led Fang Xing out of the cave first. The bat monsters were indeed afraid of sunlight. They didn't even dare to approach the cave entrance. They called for the disappearing energy from afar in frustration.
Gu Zheng didn't kill Fang Xing because he wanted to search his soul. He wanted to understand what was going on.
He pressed his hand on Fang Xing's head and immediately used the Soul Searching Technique. Fang Xing's memories came rolling in.
The story started with the old man who escaped. He was the Fang family's ancestor. He was one of the candidates for the inheritance. He was trapped in the Skull Palace by the Thousand Corpse Demon.
Normally, being trapped in the Skull Palace would mean losing contact with the outside world. However, the Fang family's ancestor, Fang Tao, had his own special methods. He was still able to communicate with the Fang family in the outside world! However, this communication was very difficult. Even with the help of the Fang family's heirloom jade talisman, both sides couldn't constantly obtain information about each other.
It was normal for people to be fickle. At first, the Fang family members were very dedicated to the ancestor's imprisonment. They all wanted to see if they could save Fang Tao.
However, Fang Tao only knew that he was in the Skull Palace. He didn't know where the Skull Palace was. Just like that, the Fang family passed down generation after generation. Fang Tao was also imprisoned in the Skull Palace.
Later, the Fang family didn't care about whether they could save this ancestor they hadn't even met before. Moreover, the Fang family members knew that when Fang Tao was first imprisoned in the Skull Palace, he had killed an ancient giant worm. However, he was heavily poisoned because of it. His strength was declining.
In Fang Xing's memories, he didn't want to save any ancestor. After all, he was already the ancestor of the Fang family. How could he save another ancestor? What's more, this old ancestor's strength had already declined to the Jin Xian late stage. He urgently needed the immortal energy ball of a late Jin Xian cultivator in order to restore his strength to the Daluo Jinxian early stage. Only then could he find a way to restore his strength to the Daluo Jinxian early stage, which was his peak at the Daluo Jinxian middle stage.
However, due to a freak combination of factors, Fang Xing went to the cenotaph of the Demon of Thousand Corpses. He was injured when he fought with someone there, and his strength also declined. From the initial late stage of the Golden Immortal realm, he had declined to the current early stage of the Golden Immortal realm. He urgently needed to recover his strength.
Fang Xing had indeed obtained the map of the Skeleton Palace from the Thousand Corpse Old Demon's cenotaph. However, he did not know the exact location of the Skeleton Palace. However, Fang Xing knew that the Heavenly Cyan Jade Carving contained information about the location of the Skull Palace. He wondered who had found the secret of the Heavenly Cyan Jade Carving in the Thousand Corpse Demon's Cenotaph.
Based on this premise, Gu Zheng and Huang Qi had formed an alliance with Fang Xing.
Fang Xing had come to the Skeleton Palace not only to search for treasures, but also to restore his strength.
Fang Tao had told Fang Xing that as long as he brought a late Jin Xian cultivator over, not only would he be able to restore his strength, he would also have a way to restore Fang Xing's strength. Therefore, after the two of them had set up a plan, Fang Xing had led Gu Zheng to this place.
After searching Fang Xing's soul, Gu Zheng had ended his life and taken a few storage belts from him. It could be said that he had gained a lot.
However, Gu Zheng did not particularly like this kind of gain. He would rather Fang Xing had formed an alliance with him wholeheartedly, and not with ulterior motives.
Looking at Fang Xing's corpse, Gu Zheng's heart was filled with emotions. This person had always been scheming against him. If not for this, he would have told Gu Zheng about his situation, and Gu Zheng was confident that he would have a way to restore him! Unfortunately, he had always been scheming, so he naturally would not tell Gu Zheng about this.
After getting rid of Fang Xing, Gu Zheng had another unexpected gain. There was a jade slip in Fang Xing's storage belt, and it recorded a Divine Will Ability. This Ability was called the 'Mind Calming Technique'.
The 'Heart-Calming Technique' was an incredible divine ability. Once this divine ability was cultivated to a certain level, when one had the intention to kill or ambush someone, the target would not be able to sense anything from the sixth sense.
Gu Zheng originally thought that the reason why his sixth sense didn't warn him of Fang Xing's plot was because he had always been on guard against Fang Xing. But now it seemed that the 'Mind Calming Technique' was at work.
Moreover, almost all Divine Will Ability had to be comprehended! For example, the pills that the Artifact Spirit had given to Gu Zheng as a mission reward in the past were all extremely precious items! However, Gu Zheng only needed to glance at the 'Calm Heart Technique' recorded in this jade slip to understand it. He thought that as long as he could spare some time to cultivate it, then in the future, when he needed to scheme against someone, it would be very difficult for the other party's sixth sense to warn him.
After dealing with Fang Xing, Gu Zheng's next target was the Fang family's ancestor, Fang Tao.
Gu Zheng sensed with his heart and found that there was not a trace of Fang Tao's aura in the air. This was not unexpected. Since Fang Tao wanted to escape, he would definitely have dealt with his aura.
Gu Zheng took out the Fang family's heirloom jade talisman. The dot of light that should have represented Fang Tao had also disappeared. This meant that Fang Tao had also dealt with his heirloom jade talisman.
Under normal circumstances, it would be almost impossible for Gu Zheng to find Fang Tao. At this time, Fang Tao must have concealed his aura and gone into hiding. Without leaving behind any aura or clues for Gu Zheng to track him, it could be said that he had evaporated into thin air.
"Do you think you can escape like this? It's just a little more troublesome to find you! "
Gu Zheng shook his head and smiled. There seemed to be an indiscernible ripple in the air, and Fang Tao's vanished aura reappeared.
For Gu Zheng, who had mastered some of the laws of time, it was not difficult to turn back time and reappear a vanished aura.
Following the aura left behind by Fang Tao, Gu Zheng found the foot of a mountain.
"Come out!"
As Gu Zheng shouted, he used the Earth Control Art and the Metal Control Art at the same time. The soil and rocks of the mountain were affected by the Five Elements Immortal Technique, and the whole mountain slowly cracked in front of Gu Zheng.
On the surface, it looked like the mountain was slowly cracking, but Fang Tao, who was hiding underground, was not in a good condition. Under Gu Zheng's control, the soil and rocks were crazily squeezing him, as if they wanted to knead him into a ball.
"Ah …"
Fang Tao, who could not bear the pressure, flew up from the ground. Gu Zheng, who had been waiting for him, brandished his saber and slashed at him.
"Bang!"
Fang Tao's reaction was also fast. The palm wind that he pushed out collided with Gu Zheng's saber light, making a loud noise.
"Bang!"
Another muffled sound was heard. The wind dragon that Gu Zheng kicked out hit Fang Tao's abdomen and sent him flying.
Fang Tao still wanted to escape, but Gu Zheng used the energy of heaven and earth to suppress him, causing his speed to change and his movements to slow down.
Fang Tao, who did not care, took out his cauldron-shaped immortal weapon and smashed it at Gu Zheng.
Unfortunately, this was no longer the cave. Gu Zheng did not need to divert his energy to deal with another person, so Fang Tao's action was undoubtedly to speed up the end of the battle.
Gu Zheng's Natal True Gold vibrated and flew towards his cauldron-shaped immortal weapon. It flew back and smashed into Fang Tao's head, causing him to fall from the sky.
Fang Tao was only knocked unconscious. Gu Zheng, who had flown over, punched him in the abdomen. After destroying his immortal power ball, he immediately began to search his soul.
As one of the candidates for the inheritance, Fang Tao did not know much about the Skull Palace. The only valuable information he provided to Gu Zheng was that there was an immortal grade ingredient that was growing here and was about to mature. Moreover, there were at least five immortal grade ingredients that had been transplanted by the Thousand Corpse Elder in the Skull Palace. They had all matured shortly after the appearance of the Skull Palace!
As the candidates for the inheritance, they did not have anything valuable on them. They only had one high-grade immortal weapon. This was the restriction set by the Thousand Corpse Elder. Moreover, they were all thrown into dangerous places, such as ancient giant worms, bat monsters, and so on.
In terms of material things, apart from providing Gu Zheng with a high-grade immortal weapon, Fang Tao also provided Gu Zheng with a treasure trove. There were all the ancient giant worms' skins that he had obtained after killing them!
One ancient giant worm's skin, divided into four parts, was enough for Gu Zheng and the others to make a fortune, not to mention that Gu Zheng would get all of it.
Fortunately, Gu Zheng not only had a lot of storage belts, but also a lot of space in the Chaos Space. All the ancient giant worms' skins were in his bag.
After taking the ancient giant worms' skins, Gu Zheng immediately flew to the place where the immortal grade ingredients were located.
The immortal grade ingredients were located in a beautiful place in this small space. It was protected by an immortal formation that was emitting a dense light.
The immortal grade ingredient was a mutation of the high-grade Purple Jade Ganoderma Mushroom. The Purple Jade Ganoderma Mushroom that would not bloom originally had a small flower with five different petals after it mutated.
Gu Zheng saw the mutated Purple Jade Ganoderma Mushroom and understood its characteristics at a glance.
"How is it? Do you have any different insights?" The Spirit asked.
Immortal grade ingredients all had traces of Dao. This was one of the reasons why they were so expensive. Including the mutated Purple Jade Ganoderma Mushroom, Gu Zheng had a total of four immortal grade ingredients. The first was the mutated five-colored deer that he had obtained from the auction in Luxia Town. The second was obtained after killing the ancient giant worm, and the third was obtained from the treasure chest contributed by the Corpse Tree.
"For ordinary people, immortal grade ingredients have traces of Dao. But for me, it's nothing. After all, I have already comprehended part of the Dao of Food. However, comprehending this kind of thing depends on luck. In the future, when I see immortal grade ingredients, I might be able to comprehend something, "Gu Zheng said.
"This mutated Purple Jade Ganoderma Mushroom will mature in two days. With your current Five Elements Immortal Technique and the Law of Time, you should be able to shorten the time to mature to one hour, right?" The Spirit asked.
"Half an hour will do."
Gu Zheng smiled and then said, "However, I can't mature it now. There are some things inside it that you can't see, so you don't know that once this immortal grade ingredient matures, it has to be used immediately. Otherwise, with the passage of time, it will become a highly poisonous thing!"
"Ah? There is such an immortal grade ingredient? "The Spirit widened its eyes.
Gu Zheng smiled coldly. "That's right. If I didn't have the Eye of Dao and my cultivation is not low, I wouldn't have been able to see that when it matures, some of the special substances inside will mutate and become highly poisonous. Fang Tao died in my hands. Even if he didn't die in my hands, he would have been poisoned to death by this mutated Purple Jade Ganoderma Mushroom. After all, he wanted to wait until the mutated Purple Jade Ganoderma Mushroom matured to refine it into a Lingzhi Elixir. However, once the mutated Purple Jade Ganoderma Mushroom matures, its characteristics are incompatible with fire. Refining it into an elixir will definitely increase the toxicity. Not to mention that he is only in the early Jin Xian stage, even a late Daluo Jinxian would die if he ate it! "
"Then what are you going to do? Cook it as soon as it matures? "The Spirit asked.
"That's right!"
Gu Zheng's eyes lit up with excitement. "Previously, I wanted to get the Immortal Ginseng of Northern Reed to cook it into a Sacred Fruit Food Cultivator to advance to the Daluo Jinxian stage. Unfortunately, the process of getting the Immortal Ginseng of Northern Reed was full of twists and turns. Even after I got it, I couldn't use it for the time being. With my current resources and this mutated Purple Jade Ganoderma Mushroom, it is very suitable to cook an extraordinary Elemental Elixir Food Cultivator to advance to the Daluo Jinxian stage! "
"You've always thought that there should be immortal grade food cultivators above high grade food cultivators. You've also always thought that immortal grade ingredients are the key to cooking an immortal grade food cultivator. This time, you can give it a try!" The Spirit was also excited.
Without wasting any more time, Gu Zheng prepared to prepare the ingredients and then accelerate the ripening of the mutated Purple Jade Ganoderma Mushroom.
The ingredients that Gu Zheng would use to cook the Elemental Elixir Food Cultivator this time were mostly elixirs. Among them, there were thirty superior grade Immortal Essence Elixirs, five superior grade Immortal Essence Elixirs, one Dragon Blood Elixir, Jade Marrow Elixir, Three Flower Three Origin Elixir, and Good Fortune Elixir. There was also a superior grade Luminous Sun Immortal Herb and a superior grade Immortal Morning Fruit.
Gu Zheng boiled the Luminous Sun Immortal Herb first. After boiling it, he threw away the almost completely melted immortal herb, leaving only a bowl of golden soup.
He squeezed the juice of the Immortal Morning Fruit and then steamed the juice in the steamer for a while. When he took it out, the juice had already turned into a red gelatinous substance.
He placed the Immortal Morning Fruit Paste into a wok of oil and fried it. A unique fruity aroma made people salivate. The fried Immortal Morning Fruit Paste expanded rapidly in the wok of oil as if it was a fried egg.
After the Immortal Morning Fruit Paste was fried, he set it aside for later use. Gu Zheng then processed the cooled Luminous Sun Immortal Herb Water. After boiling it, he threw the Three Flower Three Origin Elixir into it.
In addition to the Immortal Essence Elixir, Gu Zheng also used three other elixirs, including the Three Flower Three Leaf Elixir, to cook the Elemental Elixir Food Cultivator this time. The Elemental Elixir Food Cultivator was a Food Cultivator that relied on elixirs. Naturally, he could also add various elixirs into it. However, the prerequisite was that he had to be familiar with the medicinal effects of the elixirs in the Food Cultivator.
The elixirs that Gu Zheng used this time were not low-grade. No matter which one it was, they were all refined from several kinds of top-grade resources. After the Three Flower Three Origin Elixir melted in the wok, there was a sudden change in the wok. This was a sign that it was not compatible with the Luminous Sun Immortal Herb Water.
Gu Zheng pressed down on the restless wok and used the Five Elements Immortal Technique one after another. After the wok gradually calmed down, an enchanting fragrance spread out from it.
Although the Three Flower Three Origin Elixir was not compatible with the Luminous Sun Immortal Herb Water, if he could adjust them and transform them to be compatible, then they would be a highlight of the entire Food Cultivator.
Moreover, the only elixir that was not compatible was the Three Flower Three Origin Elixir. After dealing with it, Gu Zheng would be able to free up his hands and process the mutated Purple Jade Zoysia.
The Luminous Sun Immortal Herb Water that contained the medicinal effects of the Three Flower Three Origin Elixir had already stabilized. Gu Zheng put the Jade Essence Elixir into it and let it slowly simmer. Then, he freed up his hands to accelerate the mutated Purple Jade Zoysia.
The Wood Controlling Art, the Earth Controlling Art, and the Law of Time were used one after another. The dense light on the mutated Purple Jade Zoysia also became brighter and slightly swayed in the direction of becoming more sparkling and translucent.
Immortal Core Power condensed towards the mutated Purple Jade Zoysia. The flowers on the mutated Purple Jade Zoysia that had not yet fully bloomed completely bloomed. The special medicinal fragrance in the air also reached its peak at this moment.
The time was ripe. Gu Zheng picked the mutated Purple Jade Zoysia and fixed it in the air. Then, he took out a mirror that shone with golden light.
The mirror that Gu Zheng took out was actually the Heaven's Light Mirror that he had asked Fang Xing about before.
When they were dividing the treasures, Fang Xing, a treacherous villain, had fought for the Heaven's Light Mirror. He was afraid that if it fell into Gu Zheng's hands, Gu Zheng would coincidentally know that it could be used to deal with the bat monsters. Therefore, after Fang Xing had won the Heaven's Light Mirror, he had given Huang Qi and the others some gifts, pretending to give the Heaven's Light Mirror as well.
The mutated Purple Jade Zoysia could not be exposed to fire. However, if it wanted to be added to a Food Cultivator, it had to be roasted. What Gu Zheng was going to do now was to use sunlight instead of fire to roast the mutated Purple Jade Zoysia.
The Heaven's Light Mirror was an energy storage immortal tool. It stored the splendor of the sun. The intensity of the splendor of the sun could be adjusted according to its owner's wishes.
A glaring beam of light shot out from the Heaven's Light Mirror and hit the mutated Purple Jade Zoysia.
Under the roasting of the splendor of the sun, the mutated Purple Jade Zoysia immediately started smoking. Gu Zheng also used the Water Controlling Art on it, controlling the roasting effect that he wanted at any time.
In a short time, Gu Zheng had roasted the mutated Purple Jade Zoysia and ground it into powder. Although the mutated Purple Jade Zoysia had already been processed, it still needed to be cooked immediately.
While Gu Zheng was in the process of ripening the mutated Purple Jade Zoysia, he had put the other elixirs, including many Immortal Essence Pills and the fried Immortal Morning Fruit Crisps, into the soup of the Luminous Sun Immortal Herb. It had been simmering for a while.
At this time, above the soup pot, a rich Immortal Essence gathered and did not disperse. A special fragrance filled the air. It was a little like the fragrance of fruits, but also had a faint medicinal smell.
Time was of the essence. Gu Zheng poured the processed Purple Jade Zoysia Powder into the soup pot that was on fire.
"Boom!"
As soon as the Purple Jade Zoysia Powder entered the pot, a strange phenomenon occurred. There was a loud boom in the pot, and the rich Immortal Essence that had gathered above the soup pot immediately dispersed. It looked like it was going to disappear into the air.
Gu Zheng, who had been on guard, waved his hand. The dissipating Immortal Essence slowly gathered above the soup pot. His other hand was tightly pressed against the soup pot, and he used the Five Elements Immortal Technique one after another.
