'Phoenix Dances in the Ninth Heaven' was a treasure in the sect that Wei Yang belonged to. Only a small number of the upper echelons of the sect could cultivate it. A Second Grade Immortal Chef like Wei Yang didn't have the qualifications to learn it at all.
However, Wei Yang's uncle was a First Grade Immortal Chef, so he had the qualifications to learn 'Phoenix Dances in the Ninth Heaven'. Therefore, Wei Yang's understanding of 'Phoenix Dances in the Ninth Heaven' was a little more than the average person.
It was precisely because Wei Yang understood the difficulty of 'Phoenix Dances in the Ninth Heaven' that he was so shocked when Gu Zheng perfectly presented 'Phoenix Dances in the Ninth Heaven'.
Wei Yang understood that there was only one possibility to cook a perfect 'Phoenix Dances in the Ninth Heaven', and that was that Gu Zheng not only had the Eye of Dao, but also the even rarer Heart of Dao!
In the Immortal Chef Sect that Wei Yang was in, no one could perfectly cook 'Phoenix Dances in the Ninth Heaven', even if they had the cooking method of 'Phoenix Dances in the Ninth Heaven'! After all, although using the original flavor of the Bewildering Immortal Fruit Sauce could suppress the destruction of 'Fleeting Youth', it still required the Eye of Dao to be able to perfectly finish the changed 'Fleeting Youth'. And in the Immortal Chef Sect that Wei Yang was in, no Immortal Chef had the Eye of Dao.
In Wei Yang's knowledge, an Immortal Chef who had both the Eye of Dao and the Heart of Dao, other than the legendary Gokusen, there was no one else! Gokusen was one of the ten great Saint Immortals of the prehistoric era, but the Gu Zheng in front of him was just a young cultivator. How could this shock not make him fanatical? How could he not have the urge to worship him!
"Senior!"
Wei Yang shouted again. He clearly had a lot of things to say in his heart, and he was clearly well-prepared. However, when he saw Gu Zheng's questioning gaze, he felt that his mind was empty.
Gu Zheng understood the excitement in Wei Yang's heart. He took out a jade slip and handed it to Wei Yang. "There are some culinary insights in here, as well as some cooking methods for dishes. They might be of some help to you."
Because of Wei Yang, Gu Zheng was able to personally cook a perfect 'Fleeting Youth'. It could be said that there was some fate between the two.
"Thank you, thank you, Senior!"
Wei Yang held the jade slip that Gu Zheng had given him with both hands as if he was holding a holy object. He was so excited that tears were flowing from the corners of his eyes, and his lips were trembling.
"It's so delicious!"
Yun Songtao also finished eating the 'Phoenix Dances in the Nine Heavens'. He licked his lips as if he hadn't had enough.
"The level of the ingredients used in this' Phoenix Dances in the Nine Heavens' isn't high, but its taste is even more delicious than the 'Fish and Shrimp Stew' that your Martial Uncle made that time!"
The 'Fish and Shrimp Stew' that Yun Songtao mentioned was made with Excellent grade ingredients.
"Of course, how can my Martial Uncle compare to Senior? The charm of cooking didn't lie in only using high-grade ingredients to cook delicious dishes! For an Immortal Chef with great culinary skills, the delicacies he cooks no longer depend on the quality of the ingredients themselves! "Wei Yang sighed with emotion.
Without staying in the shop for long, Wei Yang and Yun Songtao quickly left the shop.
"Fellow Daoist Wei, you've really profited this time. The jade slip that Shangxian gave you is a treasure, right?" Yun Songtao laughed.
"Of course. Although I don't have the Eye of Dao, after reading some of the insights recorded in the jade slip, I feel like I've been enlightened!" Wei Yang said proudly.
"You're having a good time, but I still have two missions! This time, the 'Phoenix Dances in the Nine Heavens' is so difficult. How am I going to complete the next mission? "Yun Songtao felt like crying.
Wei Yang shrugged. "There's nothing I can do. Who asked Senior to treat you so 'kindly'? You can only take it one step at a time! Now, come with me to beg my Martial Uncle and see if he can think of any way. "
"That's the only way." Yun Songtao sighed.
"You don't have to be too discouraged. I feel that Senior is a good person. If you really do your best, he might not really care about you!" Wei Yang said.
"Really?"
Yun Songtao looked at Wei Yang pitifully, like a child begging for comfort.
"Really!" Wei Yang said with a smile.
Wei Yang brought Yun Songtao to the Cang Mountains of this world. They were going to find Wei Yang's Martial Uncle, Huang Junde.
"Eh!"
Wei Yang, who was flying in the air, frowned. He saw a young man washing and peeling a rabbit beside the stream in the mountains below.
Wei Yang brought Yun Songtao down and asked the young man, "Fellow Daoist Gao, what are you doing? Has my Martial Uncle agreed to take you as his disciple? "
The man who was washing and peeling the rabbit was the first immortal cultivator customer of the strange shop, Gao Li.
"Not yet! However, things have taken a turn for the better. Your Martial Uncle asked me to roast a wild rabbit for him. If he thinks the taste is okay, he will take me as his disciple. But fellow Daoist Wei, as you know, I don't have any foundation in cooking. This is really a worrisome thing! "
Gao Li smiled bitterly and looked at Wei Yang. His eyes suddenly lit up.
"Fellow Daoist Wei, our relationship is not bad, right?" Gao Li said fawningly.
"Fellow Daoist Gao, do you want me to give you some pointers so that you can successfully complete this test?"
Looking at Gao Li's expression, Wei Yang understood what he wanted to say.
"That's right!" Gao Li said excitedly.
"No problem!"
Wei Yang smiled slightly and then told Gao Li some methods to roast the wild rabbit. Gao Li was so happy that he thanked him repeatedly.
"Fellow Daoist Wei, aren't you afraid that your Martial Uncle will be angry?" Yun Songtao asked Wei Yang via voice transmission.
"Previously, my Martial Uncle was besieged by a few people from the Devil Path. Fellow Daoist Gao helped and saved my Martial Uncle's life. Although my Martial Uncle remembers Fellow Daoist Gao's kindness, he is very stubborn when it comes to accepting disciples. He has always rejected Fellow Daoist Gao because his aptitude is not good enough. However, I feel that Fellow Daoist Gao is really a good person. My Martial Uncle is lucky to have such a disciple! As for being angry, it's not that. After all, my Martial Uncle treats me very well, "Yun Songtao replied via voice transmission.
They didn't stay at Gao Li's place for too long. Wei Yang brought Yun Songtao to Huang Junde's cave abode.
"Kid, quickly hand over the Old Man's top-grade immortal artifact!"
As soon as he saw Wei Yang, Huang Junde immediately rubbed his hands impatiently. He wanted the top-grade immortal artifact in the strange shop to wash away the humiliation that those people from the Devil Path had given him.
"Martial Uncle, we lost!" Wei Yang said.
"Lost?"
Huang Junde, who was originally sitting, suddenly stood up. His eyes instantly widened.
"That's right, we did lose," Wei Yang said seriously.
"Oh my god!"
Huang Junde said in shock, "Quickly tell me the process!"
After Wei Yang told Huang Junde the process, Huang Junde didn't say anything for a long time.
After learning that there was a strange shop, Gao Li wanted to go to the strange shop to try again. Huang Junde simply prepared a set of ingredients for Gao Li, and this was the first cultivator business of the strange shop.
After the rules of the strange shop changed, Huang Junde gave Gao Li a second set of ingredients, and this was the second cultivator business of the strange shop!
After coming into contact with the strange shop for the second time, Huang Junde already knew that Gu Zheng was a super immortal chef with the Eye of Dao!
Later on, a top-grade immortal artifact appeared in the strange shop. Huang Junde was determined to get this top-grade immortal artifact! Therefore, he wanted to win through the 'Phoenix Dance of the Nine Heavens'.
However, Huang Junde didn't have all the ingredients needed to cook the 'Phoenix Dance of the Nine Heavens'. What he lacked wasn't the most rare Bewitching Immortal Fruit, but the not too rare Phoenix Eagle meat.
Although the Phoenix Eagle meat wasn't rare, Huang Junde spent some time to buy it. When Huang Junde received the Phoenix Eagle meat, Wei Yang happened to come over to ask him for help, so he gave the ingredients to cook the 'Phoenix Dance of the Nine Heavens' to Wei Yang.
He originally thought that he would win the bet, but in the end, he lost. This made Huang Junde's heart ache a little for the high-grade ingredients he used as a bet.
"He actually gave you some culinary insights. It seems that the owner of this strange shop is really a good person!"
Stroking his snow-white beard, Huang Junde, who already had a plan in his heart, didn't feel too bad about his gambling capital.
"You guys think it's very good, but I'm still on tenterhooks! Fellow Daoist Huang, how do you think I should complete the next mission? "Yun Songtao said with a bitter face.
"You still have two missions left, right?" Huang Junde asked.
"Yes! But the difficulty must increase exponentially, "Yun Songtao said.
"Actually, when my martial nephew came to beg me, I already helped you think of how to complete these two missions. It's just that …" Huang Junde dragged his voice.
"It's just that what?"
Yun Songtao knew that Huang Junde's dragged voice wasn't simple, but he couldn't help but become excited. The two missions that had made him extremely worried actually had a breakthrough at the same time.
"I'll prepare one of these two missions for you, but now you know that the owner of the strange shop can't be defeated. I'll provide you with ingredients, so you can't shortchange me, right?"
"Fellow Daoist Huang, don't worry. The ingredients you provided me, including the ones used to cook the 'Phoenix Dance of the Nine Heavens', I'll give you resources of equivalent value as compensation! In addition, I'll also help you get rid of those demonic cultivators who offended you! "Yun Songtao gritted his teeth.
"Good, Fellow Daoist Yun is indeed a forthright person!"
Huang Junde smiled. He was very satisfied with Yun Songtao's sensibility.
"I originally prepared this ingredient to win the strange shop's' Star Kill 'mental cultivation method. However, since the' Phoenix Dance of the Nine Heavens' didn't stump the owner of the strange shop, it shouldn't be possible for this ingredient to stump him."
Huang Junde sighed and handed a jade box to Yun Songtao.
"There's only one main ingredient for your fifth mission, but you need to collect it yourself. This ingredient is the meat of the Cold Valley Beast Emperor's hind leg! "Huang Junde said.
The meat of the Cold Valley Beast was very special, and so was the place where it existed. There was also the Kunlun Ruins in this world, and the Cold Valley Beast was a type of spirit beast unique to the Kunlun Ruins.
"Looks like I have to return to Kunlun as soon as possible and open the Kunlun Ruins to hunt the Cold Valley Beast Emperor."
Yun Songtao frowned. It was not easy to obtain the meat of the Cold Valley Beast Emperor. Just opening the Kunlun Ruins alone required him to gather several immortal cultivators from the Kunlun Sect.
With the matter of the Cold Valley Beast Emperor in mind, Yun Songtao did not stay in Huang Junde's cave abode for long. He took the ingredients Huang Junde gave him and flew in the direction of the strange shop again.
When Yun Songtao rushed back to the strange shop within a day, Gu Zheng was rather surprised.
"I didn't expect you to come so soon. Let me see what ingredients you brought this time and whether they meet the requirements!" Gu Zheng said.
"Exalted Immortal, please take a look!"
Yun Songtao handed the jade box to Gu Zheng.
"Eh?"
When he saw the jade box, Gu Zheng was a little curious because there was a restriction on the jade box! This kind of restriction was usually used to preserve ingredients that were extremely easy to deteriorate.
After unlocking the restriction on the jade box, Gu Zheng opened it and his eyes widened. What was in the jade box was not an ordinary ingredient. It was a half-cooked food cultivator!
Under the observation of Gu Zheng's Eye of Dao, the food cultivator without the protection of the restriction immediately underwent a subtle change. This made him quickly close the lid and set up a new restriction.
"The difficulty is not bad. I'll take this business!" Gu Zheng said excitedly.
"That's great!"
Yun Songtao could not help but cheer. As long as Gu Zheng took his business, his fourth mission would be completed.
"This thing shouldn't be given to you by Wei Yang, right? With Wei Yang's cultivation, he can't make such a thing! "Gu Zheng asked.
"Indeed, this is the ingredient that Wei Yang's martial uncle, Huang Junde, prepared for me," Yun Songtao said.
Gu Zheng nodded, "What are you going to bet with it this time?"
"Let's make the simplest bet."
Yun Songtao gave the bet to Gu Zheng.
"Let's find a place to cook," Gu Zheng said.
"Exalted Immortal, aren't you going to cook in the shop?"
Gu Zheng said that he wanted to go out, which puzzled Yun Songtao.
"Don't you know what's inside the box?"
Yun Songtao shook his head in the face of Gu Zheng's question.
"What's inside is a high-level elemental energy-increasing food cultivator. During the cooking process, it will crazily absorb the immortal essence in the air. It's not suitable to cook in the city."
Gu Zheng's explanation made Yun Songtao's eyes light up, "Exalted Immortal, after I taste the food cultivator, can I take it away?"
To Yun Songtao, who was already at the peak of the Void Return Realm, using elemental energy-increasing food cultivators was purely a waste. To Huang Junde, who came from the primordial world, such food cultivators were also useless. However, if Gu Zheng could let Yun Songtao take away the food cultivator that had tasted it a little, then Yun Songtao could use it to bribe the people in the sect so that they could help open the restrictions of the Kunlun Ruins.
"Do you think I'll win?"
Gu Zheng's baffling question caused Yun Songtao to be slightly stunned.
"No! After experiencing Exalted Immortal's' Phoenix Dances in the Nine Heavens', I'm already full of admiration for Exalted Immortal's culinary skills. Not only do I think that Exalted Immortal will win this time, even Fellow Daoist Huang thinks that Exalted Immortal will win this time! "Yun Songtao said.
"Alright, since you trust me so much, if there are no accidents in the following cooking, I allow you to take the food cultivator away without tasting it!" Gu Zheng said.
"Thank you, Exalted Immortal!" Yun Songtao was overjoyed.
It was best not to share food cultivators. Even if one person tasted a little and the other ate the rest, the original medicinal effect of the food cultivator would be reduced by at least 20%! Gu Zheng's promise that he could let Yun Songtao take it away without tasting it was undoubtedly fulfilling his wish.
"You've broken the rules again!" The weapon spirit said with a straight face.
"Are you angry?" Gu Zheng asked.
"What's there to be angry about?"
The weapon spirit rolled her eyes at Gu Zheng. "As long as the food cultivator you cook can pass the test of the Taotie statue, I'll definitely trust you. I'll also be too lazy to stick to some things and have any unhappiness with a donkey like you."
"How sensible!"
Gu Zheng laughed in his heart, but his hand made a gesture of rubbing her head.
Although it was the first time Gu Zheng had used actions to express his thoughts, the weapon spirit immediately reacted. Her face flushed red, and after rolling her eyes at Gu Zheng, she turned her head away from him.
"Yun Songtao helped me with the mission. When the time comes, I'll give him some benefits. Now that I've agreed to let him take the complete food cultivator away, it can be considered as giving him the benefits in advance."
Gu Zheng's voice paused, and then he said proudly, "It's quite unexpected. This Yun Songtao actually gave me an opportunity!"
"Oh? What opportunity? "
Hearing Gu Zheng's words, the weapon spirit was immediately curious. She knew Gu Zheng well, and she could tell from Gu Zheng's tone that the opportunity he spoke of was no small matter.
"The reason why Yun Songtao stopped halfway through cooking this food cultivator is because this is a food cultivator that failed to pass the 'tribulation'!" Gu Zheng said.
When a powerful food cultivator was about to succeed, it also needed to pass the 'tribulation'. This was not uncommon in Gu Zheng's culinary career.
"Oh? If a food cultivator fails to pass the 'tribulation', doesn't that mean all their previous efforts have been wasted? What kind of opportunity is there to speak of? "the weapon spirit asked curiously.
"That's common sense, but the food cultivator that Yun Songtao brought is different. It didn't become useless because it failed to pass the 'tribulation'. Moreover, when I used the Eye of Dao to look at it, I discovered that if this food cultivator was cooked by me, not only would I be able to save it, but I would also be able to make it even more effective than before! The effect of this food cultivator would surpass that of the Yaxin food cultivator! More importantly, I can use the same ingredients to make this new food cultivator what I saw just now! "
Gu Zheng's words caused the Artifact Spirit's expression to change. She now understood what Gu Zheng meant by 'lucky chance'.
In the eyes of the majority of cultivators in the Desolate Era, the Yaxin food cultivator's effects were the best among all the food cultivators that could increase one's vitality! After all, the majority of cultivators had no chance to come into contact with super food cultivators like the Elemental Core Food Cultivator, Immortal Fruit Food Cultivator, and Sacred Fruit Food Cultivator.
It was not easy to create a new food cultivator! Super Immortal Chefs with the Eye of Dao could use their understanding of the ingredients to deduce the effects of the combination of ingredients and create new food cultivators.
Gu Zheng was a super Immortal Chef with the Eye of Dao. He could also create new food cultivators. For example, before he ascended to the Desolate Era, he had created a 'Female Immortal Food Cultivator' for Lian Yuxin.
Although Gu Zheng could create a new creation for ordinary food cultivators, it would be extremely difficult for him to create a super food cultivator! After all, Gokusen's knowledge was far greater than Gu Zheng's. It could be said that all the ingredients that Gu Zheng had come into contact with, Gokusen had come into contact with them. Gu Zheng used the method of deduction to innovate and discover new things. He was walking the same path that Gokusen had gone through! As for the super food cultivators that Gokusen could cook, he had basically imparted them to him.
However, Gu Zheng just said that he could save the food cultivator brought by Yun Songtao, make the food cultivator's effect surpass that of the Yaxin food cultivator, and use the same ingredients to restore the food cultivator brought by Yun Songtao!
The Yaxin food cultivator was second only to the super food cultivator among all the food cultivators that could increase one's vitality! A food cultivator that could surpass the Yaxin food cultivator's effect was undoubtedly a super food cultivator.
Gu Zheng could use the same ingredients to restore the food cultivator brought by Yun Songtao, and he could make the food cultivator's effect surpass that of the Yaxin food cultivator! This meant that Gu Zheng had coincidentally discovered a new cooking method for super food cultivators!
