"After going through so much trouble, I finally got my reward. Let me see what's inside this storage belt!" The excited Ying Fei claimed ownership of the storage belt.
"Good!"
Cheers rang out at almost the same time. Ying Fei was not the only one who checked the storage belt. Everyone who saw the storage belt had a face full of excitement and gratification.
Gu Zheng also checked the storage belt. His expression was similar to the others. As expected of one of the storage belts that hid the ultimate treasures. There were as many as five high-grade immortal tools, one top-grade immortal tool, and three immortal grade ingredients. As for the rest of the items, there was a dazzling array of items.
Gu Zheng took three storage belts. After looking through the other two, he did a simple inventory.
There were fourteen high-grade immortal tools, two top-grade immortal tools, ten immortal quality ingredients, eighty-six high-grade ingredients, and two heavenly treasures! As for elixirs, refining materials, ingredients below high-grade, and so on, there were simply too many to count! It could be said that just the items in the three storage belts could be considered a treasure trove.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, these ingredients are not of much use to me. I want to exchange them for some suitable beast cultivation resources."
Ying Fei handed over a pile of ingredients to Gu Zheng. These ingredients were not of much use to him, but they could be considered his harvest from the entire Heavenly Snail Cave. Therefore, the quantity was quite large.
Seeing that Ying Fei wanted to exchange resources with Gu Zheng, Lu Piaoxiang bit her red lips and also took out some resources to exchange with Gu Zheng.
"I appreciate Fellow Daoist Lu's good intentions. You are also an immortal chef. You can keep these ingredients for your own use! The reason why Ying Fei exchanged with me is because this is within the scope of our initial cooperation, "Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"Alright!"
Lu Piaoxiang replied with a slight disappointment. Then, her eyes lit up. "Fellow Daoist Bai, after leaving this place, when do you plan to make food therapy for Uncle Kong?"
"When I find a suitable place to do it," Gu Zheng said.
"We can be considered as friends who have gone through life and death together. Previously, I didn't want to take the liberty to ask Fellow Daoist for guidance in cooking. Now, I hope Fellow Daoist won't refuse!" Lu Piaoxiang said eagerly.
"No problem." Gu Zheng laughed.
"Fellow Daoist Lu and Fellow Daoist Bai are friends who have gone through life and death together. Naturally, the two of us are also friends who have gone through life and death together! Since the two Immortal Chefs want to discuss culinary skills after we leave this place, I'll go over and freeload some food and drink. I think the two of you won't refuse, right? "
Ying Fei winked at Gu Zheng and Lu Piaoxiang. Gu Zheng and Lu Piaoxiang naturally agreed readily.
Everyone chatted for a while. During this time, Lu Piao Xiang destroyed all the jade slips that recorded the inheritance of Thousand Corpse Old Devil as well as all the things used to refine corpses.
Yunzhenzi and the others had already arrived, and Lang Feng had also recovered a lot. Gu Zheng gave him his storage belt, and after Lang Feng looked at the storage belt, he used some of the ingredients to exchange for some resources from Gu Zheng.
"This poor daoist has temporarily recognized the Skeleton Palace as its master. Once this poor daoist leaves the Skeleton Palace, this poor daoist will destroy this top-grade demonic tool."
Yunzhenzi's voice paused for a moment before he continued, "Fellow Daoist Bai, if there's nothing else, this poor daoist will first send you out. After that, I'll also send the people who are still in the Skeleton Palace out. Finally, I'll meet you outside."
Recognizing the Skeleton Palace as its master wasn't a wonderful thing. Yunzhenzi already felt something that made him uncomfortable, so he wanted to understand this matter as soon as possible.
"Since there's nothing else, you can send us out!" Gu Zheng said.
"Okay!"
Yunzhenzi nodded. He raised his hand and drew a line in the air. As the master of the Skeleton Palace, he easily opened the passage connecting the Skeleton Palace to the outside world.
Gu Zheng and the others flew into the passage. They felt as if they were using a teleportation immortal array. Light and darkness alternated in front of their eyes, and they appeared on the roof of the Skeleton Palace.
"Look, there's someone on the roof!"
"Why are they there?"
"Maybe they're people who came out of the treasure?"
"It's not like we haven't seen people who came out of the treasure before, but have you seen someone suddenly appear on the roof?"
"Are you guys looking to die? Offending the lords, you won't even know how you died!"
As soon as Gu Zheng and the others appeared, some of the people outside the Skeleton Palace immediately started discussing in low voices. These people were all cultivators with low cultivation. Because of this, they stopped outside the Skeleton Palace because they didn't even have the strength to enter the Skeleton Palace.
Looking at the fearful and curious Immortal Cultivators outside the Palace of Skeletons, Ying Fei sighed. "It's really lively. Just outside the Palace of Skeletons alone, there are almost two hundred Immortal Cultivators!"
"Although the Skeleton Palace hasn't been in the world for long, the number of cultivators who have entered it dauntlessly has probably exceeded a thousand!"
Lu Piaoxiang shook his head and smiled bitterly. Who knew how many of these people who entered the Skeleton Palace would survive?
"Come, let's go down and wait for True Cloud and the others," Gu Zheng said.
With True Cloud, the temporary master of the Skeleton Palace, controlling it, Gu Zheng and the others didn't encounter any restrictions when they flew out of the Skeleton Palace.
Looking at the cultivators who were still discussing the treasures inside the Skeleton Palace, Gu Zheng's thoughts were in a mess. When he entered the Skeleton Palace with Huang Qi and the others, he really didn't expect that so many things would happen.
No matter if it was a conspiracy or a fatal crisis, Gu Zheng passed through it safely. Moreover, during the trip to the Skeleton Palace, he was promoted to Daluo Jinxian and obtained many treasures.
As an Immortal Chef, among all the resources he obtained, ingredients were the things that Gu Zheng valued the most.
Before entering the Skeleton Palace, Gu Zheng's immortal grade resources were only the five-colored venison he obtained from the auction in Luxia Town. As for the storage of Heavenly Treasures, he had only received one Heavenly Treasure when he left Shushan.
But now, Gu Zheng's immortal grade resources had reached sixteen, and his reserves of heavenly treasures had reached four!
"Immortal grade resources are rarely seen in the outside world. Just in the Skeleton Palace alone, I obtained fifteen of them! As for rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, I also obtained as many as three of them! As the saying goes, 'A general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand men.' How many resources did it take to become the Thousand Corpse Old Demon? And who will the resources left behind by the Thousand Corpse Old Demon help? Will I also leave behind resources to help others in the future? Gathering is Yang, scattering is Yin. The Dao of this world doesn't produce Yin and Yang! "Gu Zheng sighed with emotion.
Gu Zheng and the others waited outside the Skeleton Palace for nearly one incense stick's worth of time. During this time, more than four hundred cultivators were sent out of the Skeleton Palace by True Cloud.
Finally, after sending out the last person, True Cloud appeared in the void.
"Everyone, be quiet!"
Standing in the void, True Cloud looked down at the hundreds of cultivators on the ground. His voice was as loud as a large bell.
"I am the Supreme Elder of the Sky Billow Sect, True Cloud. The treasures here are actually the inheritance left behind by the Thousand Corpse Old Demon, and this building is the demonic weapon that made the Thousand Corpse Old Demon famous, the Skeleton Palace. Back then, the Thousand Corpse Old Demon committed many evil deeds, and the entire Untainted Land was in chaos because of him. As for the Aparagodānīya State, it was even more disastrous!
"After the fall of the Thousand Corpse Old Demon, the leading orthodox sects in the Aparagodānīya State made an oath that if the Skeleton Palace appeared in the future, they would enter and destroy the Thousand Corpse Old Demon's inheritance and the demonic weapon.
"Although many years have passed and many of the sects who made the oath were unable to fulfill their promise, the Sky Billow Sect came and made the oath a reality! Now, the inheritance of the Thousand Corpse Fiend has been destroyed. As for the Skeleton Palace, this top-notch demonic artifact, I will destroy it in front of everyone today! "
Yunzhenzi's forceful words caused many people below to cheer.
The core of the Skeletal Palace appeared in Yunzhen Zi's hand. With a slight thought, the core immediately began to glow, and the huge Skeletal Palace rapidly shrank. In the end, it turned into a stream of light and merged with the core in his hand.
True Cloud raised his hand and drew array patterns in the void, one after another. Not only did he set up several Immortal Arrays in the air, but he also set up many restrictions! Then, True Cloud activated the core of the Skeleton Palace, which was surrounded by the Immortal Arrays and restrictions.
Top-grade Immortal Artifacts were divided into different grades. The Cyclic Sky Seal was the highest grade Immortal Artifact, and the Skeleton Palace was the same grade as the Cyclic Sky Seal. However, the Cyclic Sky Seal was an offensive Immortal Artifact, while the Skeleton Palace was a spatial Immortal Artifact. In terms of rarity, the Skeleton Palace was even rarer than the Cyclic Sky Seal! The destruction of such a top-notch Immortal Artifact was enough to plunge all living beings within a thousand miles into misery and suffering. The Immortal Formations and restrictions that True Cloud had set up were precisely to prevent such a disaster from happening.
"Explode!"
After changing the incantation several times, True Cloud spat out a word.
The core of the Skeleton Palace, which was surrounded by the Immortal Arrays and restrictions, expanded like a balloon. When it expanded to a certain extent, the crowd could still hear a loud bang and see a ball of light that was enough to temporarily blind them, even though it was blocked by the Immortal Arrays and restrictions.
The Skeleton Palace had exploded, and this top-grade Demonic Artifact had become a part of the dust of the primeval times.
The crowd below cheered again, and True Cloud flew toward Gu Zheng and the others.
"Now that the Skeleton Palace has been destroyed, this is a good thing! I would like to invite all of you to the Misty Clouds Sect's celebration banquet, and also let the Misty Clouds Sect play host! "True Cloud said.
"We still have things to deal with now, so we'll be guests at the Misty Clouds Sect when we have time in the future! At that time, I hope True Cloud will treat us well! "
Gu Zheng knew that True Cloud wanted to befriend him, but he did not want to use the name of a Sage Immortal's disciple to make friends with others.
Although he was rejected by Gu Zheng, True Cloud was not disappointed. After all, they had just resolved their enmity not long ago. Furthermore, the fact that Gu Zheng was able to say at the end that if he had time in the future, he should come to the Misty Cloud Sect as a guest and receive him well. This already made Yunzhen very satisfied.
"Since True Cloud still has things to deal with, I won't disturb you any further. Rest assured, True Cloud will treat you well when you visit the Misty Clouds Sect in the future! "
After bidding farewell to Gu Zheng, True Cloud left with Jiang Tiancheng.
"I have to return to the sect now. Since all of you still have things to deal with, I won't be inviting you. However, if you have time in the future, you are welcome to visit the Heavenly Profound Sect at any time! "
Lang Feng's injuries had not completely healed, so he wanted to return to the sect as soon as possible to treat his injuries. Therefore, he bid farewell to Gu Zheng and the others.
After Lang Feng left, Gu Zheng and the others did not stay any longer and immediately flew towards the Fanyu County.
According to their previous agreement, they would rent a house in the Fanyu County and gather there for a few days.
There were many houses for rent in the Fanyu County. After arriving at the Fanyu County, Gu Zheng and the others quickly rented one.
After laying down a few restrictions in the house, turning the ordinary house into a safe environment, Ying Fei immediately shouted.
"True Cloud, True Cloud, both of you are Immortal Chefs, so hurry up and make some delicious food! These days, I only cared about the journey. Now that I think about tasting the delicacies you make, I can't help but drool. "
After saying that, Ying Fei swallowed his saliva in an exaggerated manner.
"Of course, tasting delicacies is not a difficult matter. However, I have to cook some food for True Cloud first. My heart is thinking about this matter, so I don't have the mood to cook." Gu Zheng shrugged and smiled.
"It doesn't matter if you don't have the mood to cook. Isn't there still True Cloud?"
Ying Fei looked at Gu Zheng with a grumbling expression. Then, he smiled mischievously at Lu Piaoxiang and said, "True Cloud, why don't you cook some delicious food for us first? I think True Cloud must be hungry too! "
"Old Man is not hungry. Old Man is very full!"
Feng Weikong fiercely glared at Ying Fei.
On the way to the Fanyu County, because everyone was more familiar with each other and the environment was no longer the Skull Palace where they had to be on edge at all times, they had a lot of idle chatter and jokes. This also gave Feng Weikong and Lu Piaoxiang a new habit, which was to bicker with Ying Fei.
"I also don't have the time! True Cloud, how can I miss the rare opportunity to watch True Cloud cook food for True Cloud? Therefore, True Cloud, True Cloud can only starve! "
Lu Piaoxiang's voice paused. Then, he said with a naughty smile, "True Cloud, True Cloud, if you really can't stand the hunger and ordinary food can't enter your mouth, then you can go to the 'Thought and Taste Residence' in the county! The 'Thought and Taste Residence' is an Immortal Chef Store. It is said that the Immortal Chef in charge of cooking vegetarian dishes is very good. Those who have tasted it are all full of praise! True Cloud, True Cloud, True Cloud just earned a basin full of dissatisfaction in the Skull Palace. You can go to the 'Thought and Taste Residence' to eat. You can order eight dishes and one soup, or sixteen dishes and two soups. You can eat however you want. Even if you order two of the same dish, you can eat one and collapse the other! "
"I'm not going. Why should I waste money with you two Immortal Chefs here? Although I earned a lot in the Skull Palace, who would complain about having too many resources? What's more, these hugs were exchanged with my life. They are my lifeblood. Every bit of consumption will cause me pain for a long time! "Ying Fei said angrily.
"Hmph, since you can't bear to spend resources to eat outside, then just wait obediently!"
Seeing that Ying Fei was angered, Lu Piaoxiang laughed happily.
"You …"
"Alright, let's talk about serious matters!"
Ying Fei still wanted to say something, but Gu Zheng's voice ended his daily bickering with Lu Piaoxiang.
"True Cloud, True Cloud, what's going on with your chronic illness?"
After experiencing the high pressure environment in the Skull Palace, Gu Zheng didn't have the heart to say anything that would change the atmosphere on the way to Fan Yu County. Therefore, he still didn't know about Feng Weikong's situation.
"In the early years in the South Viewing Province, I was tricked when I fought with the Wu people. In the end, I was left with this chronic illness. You can check my body. The chronic illness is on my ball of immortal energy. You will know what's going on when you see it. "
Gu Zheng nodded and sent out a portion of his divine sense to check Feng Weikong's body.
It was indeed as Feng Weikong said. The chronic illness was on his ball of immortal energy! It was a ball of black mist that was like a hoop that wrapped around Feng Weikong's ball of immortal energy.
"Do you know what that black mist is?" Feng Weikong asked.
"That's the power of a curse!"
If it was a few months ago, Gu Zheng wouldn't know about this mysterious power. However, when he was in Luxia Town, he helped Lin Dongliang and Chen Jude treat their chronic illness. It was also the power of a curse.
"That's right, that's the power of a curse! That Wu people that I fought with had the strength of a late stage Daluo Jinxian. His power of a curse is extraordinary. In these years, I have tried many methods, but unfortunately, they were all useless, "Feng Weikong said.
"What's the recipe you mentioned before?" Gu Zheng asked.
"Three hundred years ago, I found a Grand Elder of the Immortal Chef Sect. After he saw my condition, he gave me this recipe."
Feng Weikong handed the recipe to Gu Zheng, then said, "Unfortunately, the main ingredient in this recipe is a heavenly treasure. Moreover, it has to be an extreme Yang heavenly treasure! It's also because it's lacking that I haven't been able to try using it as a food therapy. This time, I was lucky enough to obtain an extreme Yang heavenly treasure from the Skeleton Palace. However, what made me depressed was that the Grand Elder of the Immortal Chef Sect had already passed away a hundred years ago! Therefore, I can only find you to give it a try. "
"Aren't you afraid that I won't be able to do it well? After all, this is a food therapy that contains heavenly treasures. If you don't do it well, you will suffer a great loss! "Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"Brat, do you think the Old Man is so stupid? The Old Man is very shrewd! "
Feng Weikong glanced at Gu Zheng. "Actually, the two old fellows from the Lin and Chen families were also cursed. It's just that I didn't examine their bodies, so I don't know what's going on with them. However, with the wealth of the Lin and Chen families, their old ancestors could be troubled by the power of the curse for so many years. I think that the power of the curse is not simple! Since you can cure them, I'll let you try using food therapy for me. This isn't something that I didn't consider. "
"Since you planned to let me use food therapy for you, then why did you treat me so strangely when we were in the Skeleton Palace? Aren't you afraid that I won't do it for you? "Gu Zheng laughed.
"That time in the Skeleton Palace, who knows how far you can go? Who knows how far we can go? Of course, we'll take it one step at a time! "Feng Weikong also laughed.
"Alright, let's get down to business!"
After laughing, Gu Zheng's expression turned serious.
