Gu Zheng wasn't surprised that Yun Songtao said he wanted to give birth. He didn't want to kill Yun Songtao either.
Coldly looking down at Yun Songtao, Gu Zheng said, "Do you really want to live?"
"Yes!"
Yun Songtao smiled apologetically, but he was complaining incessantly in his heart. He had just taught Yun Hao a lesson for being short-sighted, and now he was making the same mistake! He really didn't expect that the ridiculously young Gu Zheng would have such a Celestial Realm.
"You came into my shop without knocking, and you even dared to use the Celestial Realm on me!"
Gu Zheng first listed Yun Songtao's crimes, then sneered, "If you really want to live, then you can only do as I say!"
"What does the Exalted Immortal want me to do?"
Yun Songtao's heart sank. He was a fish on the chopping block, and he was very worried that Gu Zheng would make an extremely excessive request.
"Within a month, you must come to my shop and do five business deals with me. No matter if you win or lose, we have to abide by the shop's rules. However, I have two other requirements for you. First, the difficulty of each of the five business deals must be higher than the previous one. Second, I need to plant a restriction in your body. If you can't bring me five qualified business deals within a month, then I will activate the restriction and obliterate you! If you complete five qualified business deals, I will remove the restriction for you, and we will write off the matter of you being rude to me. "
Gu Zheng was coercing Yun Songtao to help him complete the task. Although Gokusen didn't say that this method couldn't be used, coercing customers to help Gokusen's disciple complete the task was an unwritten violation in the Artifact Spirit's heart.
When Gu Zheng let Yun Hao leave, he knew that Yun Songtao would come knocking on his door. He also knew that Yun Songtao would attack him. Therefore, what he was doing to Yun Songtao was part of his plan.
He knew that the Artifact Spirit would definitely not allow him to coerce Yun Songtao, so before Yun Songtao came, Gu Zheng had communicated with the Artifact Spirit about this matter.
Just as the Artifact Spirit had said, if there was a first time, there would be a second time! When she first agreed to Gu Zheng changing the rules, things like changing the rules happened one after another.
After Gu Zheng's earnest persuasion, the Artifact Spirit finally agreed that he could coerce those who came to stand up for Yun Hao to help him complete the task! After all, even though Gu Zheng had changed the rules, he still had a bottom line. He had high requirements for the quality of the mission, which could be seen from the demands he had made to Yun Songtao.
Gu Zheng's request made Yun Songtao unable to react for a moment. He had thought of many kinds of requests Gu Zheng might make, but he had never thought that Gu Zheng would force him to do a mission.
After a moment of silence, Yun Songtao looked at Gu Zheng and said, "Exalted Immortal, if I wholeheartedly follow your request, will you really keep your word?"
Even though he knew that it was meaningless to ask such a question, Yun Songtao still asked. He wanted to get a definite answer from Gu Zheng! Only in this way would he not feel so uncomfortable when he made a compromise.
"Of course I will keep my word!"
Gu Zheng knew that Yun Songtao had already agreed in his heart by asking such a question.
"Don't worry, I just want to complete the mission. If not, your son wouldn't be able to live, and you wouldn't be able to live either! As long as you wholeheartedly help me complete the mission, not only will I remove the restriction in your body, I will also remove the restriction in your son's body, "Gu Zheng said.
Yun Songtao gritted his teeth, "I agree to the Exalted Immortal's request!"
"Very good."
Gu Zheng nodded and smiled, "Let me remind you one last time. I just want to open the shop quietly. If you don't know how to adapt to the situation and cause me trouble, then I will make sure that you will never have any trouble!"
"Don't worry, Exalted Immortal. I won't say anything that shouldn't be said to anyone!"
Yun Songtao was really serious. Gu Zheng's request made him think of a terrifying possibility.
In fact, it wasn't that Yun Songtao hadn't thought of this terrifying possibility before. This was also his initial fear. However, at that time, whether it was Gu Zheng or the shop, he didn't know much about them. Therefore, fear and fear were two completely different things.
The person who would issue a mission to an Immortal Chef could only be the Immortal Chef's master or the power that the Immortal Chef belonged to. Gu Zheng was very powerful, and the mission he did was also very abnormal. Then, the person or power who issued this mission must also be very abnormal! Such a person or power, not only did Yun Songtao not dare to offend, even in the entire Immortal Cultivation World, no one would dare to offend them.
Gu Zheng planted a life and death restriction on Yun Songtao and then took back the Immortal Domain. The two appeared in the shop again.
"Exalted Immortal, do you think these ingredients are okay?"
Yun Songtao remembered that he had five urgent missions to complete. As soon as he came out of the Immortal Domain, he took out a few ingredients.
"No, the difficulty is too low!" Gu Zheng shook his head and said.
The ingredients that Yun Songtao had provided were more commonly known as medicinal herbs. They were all simple ingredients that tasted a little bitter or a little strange. To ordinary Immortal Chefs, the difficulty of cooking them was still okay. However, to Gu Zheng, it wasn't difficult at all.
"Exalted Immortal, what kind of ingredients are considered difficult?" Yun Songtao asked.
"You have to think about this yourself! The ingredients that I can think of are all ingredients that I can cook. "
Gu Zheng's indifferent words shocked Yun Songtao so much that he was flabbergasted! If he hadn't fought with Gu Zheng, he definitely wouldn't have believed that Gu Zheng dared to say such words. But now, he firmly believed it without a doubt.
"Heavens, what grade is this Immortal Chef!" Yun Songtao said in his heart.
"Think of more ways. If the difficulty of the ingredients is not enough, you can also make up for it from the supplementary ingredients. But as for how to make up the ingredients, it depends on you. However, I still have to remind you that the difficulty of the five missions must be increased exponentially. This is not something to joke about, so you should go back and think about it carefully! "Gu Zheng said.
"Don't worry, Exalted Immortal. I will come to the shop again very soon!"
Gu Zheng's reminder gave Yun Songtao inspiration, but he didn't have any supplementary ingredients with him. After all, he was just an ordinary cultivator and didn't need to bring those things with him.
Yun Songtao returned to Kunlun that night. He didn't tell anyone about Gu Zheng.
The next day, Yun Songtao went to find the chef of Kunlun Sect and asked him to prepare two sets of ingredients that were difficult to cook. Then, he brought them to the shop.
Yun Songtao first showed the first set of ingredients prepared by the chef to Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng told Yun Songtao that this was an ingredient that wasn't difficult to cook.
In fact, it didn't mean that the ingredients brought by Yun Songtao were really easy! If it was an ordinary person who brought this ingredient, Gu Zheng would definitely say that it was qualified. After all, the Taotie statue didn't deny this ingredient. However, Yun Songtao was different from ordinary people. He helped Gu Zheng to complete the mission, so Gu Zheng's requirements for him were much higher than ordinary people!
Yun Songtao took out the second set of ingredients prepared by the chef. Although this set of ingredients was prepared by the chef, Yun Songtao, according to his understanding of the difficulty of the mission, used his immortal energy to deal with the ingredients in a bad way! For example, destroying the internal structure of the ingredients and so on.
Yun Songtao's handling of the ingredients could be considered to be quite appropriate. The ingredients did not become unusable after being processed by him. And this kind of ingredient that was processed by him was indeed more difficult to cook. Therefore, this was a qualified ingredient.
Finally, there was a qualified ingredient. Yun Songtao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He was eager to get five missions as soon as possible so that Gu Zheng could remove the restriction for him and his father.
However, a long sigh of relief didn't mean that he could completely relax. This time, he could use this method to get Gu Zheng to agree, but the same method might not work next time! After all, the difficulty of the five missions had to be increased exponentially. Moreover, Gu Zheng's requirements for him were also exceptionally high. This was only the first mission.
When he left the shop again, Yun Songtao felt very fortunate. He was glad that Gu Zheng only asked him to help with five missions before removing the restriction for him and his father. If Gu Zheng told him that he had to win once before removing the restriction for him and his father, Yun Songtao felt that he wouldn't be able to see any hope of survival!
When those ingredients that could only be used to make pig feed in Yun Songtao's eyes became indescribably delicious in Gu Zheng's hands, he was completely convinced by Gu Zheng's cooking skills.
This time, after leaving the shop, Yun Songtao didn't directly return to Kunlun. Instead, he went to Mount Hua in this country.
There were also Immortal Chefs in this country, and there were two of them. One of them was more powerful, and it was the one who went to Kunlun two years ago. This person's whereabouts were hard to find, and it was very difficult to find him. The other one opened an Immortal Kitchen in Mount Hua. Yun Songtao planned to find him and see if there was any way to help him complete the mission.
Yun Songtao arrived at Mount Hua, but the Immortal Kitchen's door was tightly shut.
After asking the boy guarding the door, Yun Songtao found out that the Immortal Chef had closed the Immortal Kitchen two days ago and went out to travel! Moreover, he didn't say when he would return. Yun Songtao could only return to Kunlun gloomily.
After returning to Kunlun, Yun Songtao gave Pillsaint a mission, asking him to investigate the whereabouts of the two Immortal Chefs. As for himself, he calmed down and pondered, hoping that he could complete the remaining four missions as soon as possible.
Two days later, Yun Songtao prepared another three sets of ingredients and went to the shop.
This time, the difficulty of the ingredients that Yun Songtao had meticulously prepared was evaluated by Gu Zheng as' not much improvement '. All of them were rejected by Gu Zheng.
After two days of preparation, all three sets of ingredients were rejected. This made Yun Songtao understand that with his current understanding of ingredients, he wouldn't be able to take out ingredients that had made much progress! His only hope now was to rely on Pillsaint to find the Immortal Chefs. He hoped that through this method, he could complete the remaining four missions as soon as possible.
While Yun Songtao was waiting for Pillsaint's news, the Kunlun Sect, or rather, the cultivation world of this country, had become restless because of the strange shop.
The rules of the strange shop had changed, causing some cultivators to visit the shop. Among them, there were two people who had made a big bet with the shop, so the shop released two unusual rewards! One was the legendary immortal skill, Star Ultimate Strike, and the other was a top-grade immortal tool!
One was a secret skill, and the other was an immortal tool. The entire cultivation world went crazy over this! In the past few days, the strange shop had become the hottest topic in the cultivation world.
Yun Songtao didn't know how many people from other sects had visited the shop in the past few days, but in the Kunlun Sect, there were already seven people who had visited the shop! Among these people, there were even people who had visited twice!
Another two days passed, and Yun Songtao finally received news from Pillsaint. Pillsaint had found the Immortal Chef who had opened the shop in a foreign country.
Yun Songtao was very happy, and he immediately left for the foreign country. To him, finding an Immortal Chef was equivalent to finding the whereabouts of the other Immortal Chef! After all, the Immortal Chef who had opened the Immortal Chef Store and the Immortal Chef who had visited the Kunlun Sect two years ago were martial nephews and martial uncles. There was definitely a way for them to contact each other.
The Immortal Chef who had opened the Immortal Chef Store was called Wei Yang. When he saw Yun Songtao appear in front of him, he was both surprised and helpless.
"Fellow Daoist Wei, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Why do you have such an expression when you see me?" Yun Songtao asked with a smile.
Pillsaint had found Wei Yang, but Wei Yang hadn't found Pillsaint, so he didn't know that Yun Songtao was looking for him.
"Fellow Daoist Yun, long time no see! The reason why I have such an expression is because fellow Daoist specially came to find me! "Wei Yang rolled his eyes at Yun Songtao.
"Could it be that this Yun specially came to find fellow Daoist and brought you some trouble?"
Yun Songtao laughed loudly. With his relationship with Wei Yang, it was still okay to joke around.
"Of course it's troublesome! It's precisely because of this that I closed my Immortal Chef Store and came out to relax! "Wei Yang said helplessly.
"Could it be that fellow Daoist Wei already knows the reason why I came to find fellow Daoist Wei?"
Yun Songtao seemed a little surprised, but he was more enlightened. If he could think of a way to find an Immortal Chef, others could also think of it!
"Yes! Didn't you want to find me and ask me to give you a way to defeat the strange shop? Before you, many cultivators have already come to find me! "
Wei Yang was very helpless. Ever since the strange shop's rules had changed, in just two days, six cultivators had come to ask him for a way to defeat the strange shop! This made him feel that if he continued to stay on Mount Hua, there would be a lot of questions in the future.
"Fellow Daoist Yun, the two of us are friends, so I advise you not to be attracted by the high compensation of the strange shop. No matter how high the odds are, you have almost no chance of winning! An Immortal Chef who dares to open such a shop is at least a First Grade Immortal Chef, or even a Super Immortal Chef! "Wei Yang said.
"Fellow Daoist Wei, then have you patronized the strange shop?" Yun Songtao asked.
"Since I know that there is no chance of winning, why would I patronize it?" Wei Yang shook his head and smiled.
Yun Songtao nodded his head and then smiled bitterly. "Fellow Daoist Wei, I didn't look for you specifically because I want you to provide me with a method to defeat the shop. I just want ingredients that are a bit difficult to obtain!"
"A somewhat difficult ingredient? What does fellow Daoist Yun mean? "Wei Yang was puzzled.
Yun Songtao's voice paused, and then he said, "Because of some special reasons, I have to do five deals with the strange shop. Moreover, the difficulty of these five deals must be higher and higher! Now, there are still four deals left, but the ingredients that I can provide to the strange shop have all been rejected by the shop owner because they are not difficult enough! "
Hearing what Yun Songtao said, Wei Yang asked with interest, "Did you bring the ingredients that were rejected by the shop owner?"
"I brought them!"
Yun Songtao took out the ingredients. Wei Yang touched, pinched, and smelled the ingredients. After half an incense stick of time, he said, "Amazing! The ingredients that you provided are actually very difficult. I can't cook these ingredients into delicious dishes. Even my Uncle-Master can't do it! "
Hearing Wei Yang's words, Yun Songtao could only shrug his shoulders and smile bitterly.
"If such ingredients are not difficult enough, then I can only find ingredients that are more difficult!" Wei Yang's eyes rolled as he muttered to himself.
"That's right. This is also the reason why I came to find fellow Daoist Wei. Fellow Daoist, you must help me!" Yun Songtao said.
"How about this! Since it's your problem, I can't not help you. I'll prepare a more difficult ingredient for you. After you bring it over, ask him, if the cooking difficulty is set to 10, what's the difficulty of the ingredient you're bringing this time? What's the appropriate difficulty for the ingredient you bring next time? With the things that I have, I have a premonition that I can only help you complete two missions! "Wei Yang said.
"Then I'll really have to thank fellow Daoist Wei!"
Yun Songtao thanked Wei Yang, but his mood was getting heavier and heavier. A Second Grade Immortal Chef like Wei Yang could only help him twice. What should he do now?!
"Fellow Daoist Wei, I'll have to trouble you with one more thing. Help me contact your Martial Uncle. If you can help me complete two missions, then I can only rely on your Martial Uncle for the remaining two missions!" Yun Songtao's eyes were filled with pleading.
Wei Yang said, "Don't worry. Since I want to help you, I'll definitely help you to the end! You can go back first later. I still have some things to take care of here. After I'm done, I'll return to the country tomorrow. At that time, I'll go to the Kunlun Sect to find you and we'll talk about the remaining missions! "
"Okay, thank you, fellow Daoist Wei!" Yun Songtao said seriously.
Two hours later, Wei Yang prepared a set of ingredients for Yun Songtao, and Yun Songtao immediately returned to the country with the ingredients.
For Gu Zheng, business was generally very good in the few days after the strange shop's rules changed! Up until now, Gu Zheng had already completed thirty-seven of the fifty cultivator missions. There were only thirteen missions left before he passed the 'Great Success in Cooking' mission.
However, Gu Zheng also understood that the good days were about to return to normal. Although the secret manuals and immortal tools that the strange shop took out were very attractive, the customers who wanted to win the secret manuals and immortal tools also lost a lot of resources to the strange shop! All the cultivators already knew that it was almost impossible to win the strange shop. Therefore, it was not strange that there were no customers at all.
After nearly a day, the strange shop still did not have a single customer. This was the worst day of business except for the first day when the strange shop changed its rules.
"Weapon Spirit, if the business is very bad, do you think the rules can be changed again?"
Since he had nothing to do, Gu Zheng started to tease the weapon spirit.
"You …"
The Artifact Spirit gritted his teeth and rolled his eyes at Gu Zheng. "I'm giving you a look so you can experience it yourself, you greedy bastard!"
"Hahahaha …"
Gu Zheng laughed heartily. The depression about the bad business seemed to have disappeared with his laughter.
Gu Zheng was actually not too worried about whether he could complete the mission within the time limit!
There was still a lot of time. Gu Zheng only lacked thirteen missions! He already had a plan. In a few days, he was going to open a shop in a foreign country. The remaining missions would be contributed by the cultivators in the foreign country.
"Let's go, master will take you shopping!"
After teasing the weapon spirit, Gu Zheng, who had nothing to do, decided to take Die Ling shopping.
"Great!"
Die Ling, who was originally in a daze, cheered. Her entire body was instantly filled with energy. Although the three strange shops were all in the downtown area, she had never gone shopping with Gu Zheng.
However, it was a pity that just as Die Ling was curious about many things in the downtown area, Yun Songtao finally returned from the foreign country.
