"Even if the abnormality of your Five Elements Immortal Ball is really related to the 'Fleeting Youth', the time it appeared was after the 'Fleeting Youth' was changed! The changed 'Fleeting Youth' not only has no harm, it has even improved the taste! In this cooking, you can't see the 'Fleeting Youth' after the improved taste. All you can see is the 'Fleeting Youth' after the destruction! As for the Heart of Dao, sigh, even if you really have the Heart of Dao, it takes a process to awaken it. This process will leave you with no time to deal with the deterioration of the food. You're really going to lose this mission! "
The weapon spirit spoke the truth. Gu Zheng, who had been unwilling to accept the truth, felt his heart sink to the bottom.
"Take it easy. Although you won't get the mission reward, you don't have to be too sad. After Lord Gokusen knows about this, he might give you a reward at his discretion."
Gu Zheng shook his head and smiled at the weapon spirit's comfort. "It's okay. I made the rules myself. I have nothing to say if I lose under these rules!"
"Tell me, what kind of standard do you want this time?" Gu Zheng asked Yun Songtao.
"Still the lowest standard!"
Yun Songtao gave the ingredients to Gu Zheng as the wager.
Whether it was Yun Songtao or Huang Junde, they all thought that Gu Zheng would win. However, they didn't expect that the ingredients this time would push Gu Zheng into the abyss.
Gu Zheng walked to the kitchen with the ingredients. His back was as heavy as a death warrior's. However, the death warrior suddenly stopped in his tracks. His eyes lit up as if he had seen a new life!
"What's wrong?"
Gu Zheng's mission was going to fail, and the weapon spirit didn't feel good either. When she saw that Gu Zheng seemed to have thought of something, she immediately asked.
"The ingredients in my hand are the ingredients for the mission, right?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
The weapon spirit didn't understand Gu Zheng's question.
"In other words, if I don't cook this ingredient well, the mission will fail, right?" Gu Zheng smiled.
"What are you trying to say?"
As soon as the Artifact Spirit said this, his eyes widened. "I understand what you mean! Do you want to make another set of ingredients first to see if there will be any changes? "
"That's right, there are two sets of ingredients. The one in my hand is the mission ingredient, but the other one isn't! If I cook another ingredient first, maybe there will be a turn for the better? "Gu Zheng said.
"Then hurry up and give it a try!" The artifact spirit said eagerly.
Gu Zheng's Five Elements Immortal's Sphere had reacted to Momentary Youth before. Doing the ingredients that were not part of the mission first was indeed the best choice to find a way out in a hopeless situation!
After Gu Zheng entered the kitchen, he first put the task ingredients aside, then took out another set of ingredients to process.
Although Yun Songtao was a little curious about Gu Zheng's actions, he was sensible enough not to ask anything.
The meat of the Cold Valley Beast was very special because it contained cold poison. At first, Yun Hao wanted to use it to stump Gu Zheng.
The meat of the Cold Valley Beast Emperor also contained cold poison, but the poison was not strengthened because it was a beast emperor. It only strengthened the meat quality.
At first, Gu Zheng felt that although Huang Junde was a First Grade Immortal Chef, his skills were not high among First Grade Immortal Chefs. After all, when he was in the Kunlun Sect, he was once stumped by cooking the meat of the Cold Valley Beast! At that time, Huang Junde's rules were different from the strange restaurant. Although the Kunlun Sect provided him with the meat of the Cold Valley Beast Emperor, the choice of the supplementary ingredients was in his hands. If his skills were high enough, he could understand from the unique fragrance of the Cold Valley Beast Emperor that he only needed a few suitable supplementary ingredients to remove the cold poison in the meat.
Now, in Gu Zheng's heart, Huang Junde, this Immortal Chef whom he had never met before, was not that bad in cooking.
Regardless of whether there was any secret at that time, Huang Junde was indeed stumped by the meat of the Cold Valley Beast Emperor. But now, he used a few suitable supplementary ingredients to process the meat of the Cold Valley Beast Emperor! Moreover, the way he processed the rest of the ingredients was very appropriate even without the Eye of Dao. Therefore, his skills were not bad among First Grade Immortal Chefs.
Putting aside his cooking skills, Gu Zheng felt that Huang Junde was a weirdo. He was lucky and unlucky at the same time.
In terms of luck, Huang Junde first failed the 'tribulation' but did not destroy the super food cultivator. Then, he touched the 'Instant of Youth' of the Cold Valley Beast Emperor!
A food cultivator failed the tribulation but did not destroy it. This was an extremely difficult thing. At least in this matter, Huang Junde had refreshed Gu Zheng's knowledge.
As for the 'Instant of Youth' of the Dao of Food, it was also an extremely rare thing. The probability of it appearing in the combination of ingredients was as rare as winning the lottery!
Therefore, Huang Junde was very lucky. At the very least, Gu Zheng had not experienced the two things that he had experienced.
However, Huang Junde was also very unlucky. Although he failed the 'tribulation' and did not destroy the super food cultivator, he did not know how to improve it! As for the 'Instant of Youth', Gu Zheng felt that he had only witnessed it and did not gain any benefits from it. After all, the probability of an Immortal Chef having the Heart of Dao was even rarer than the Eye of Dao.
The processing of the ingredients was a little complicated, but cooking was not difficult for Gu Zheng.
Several ingredients were rolling under Gu Zheng's wok. There were red and green, and it was very beautiful. The aroma also became stronger as the cooking process went on.
"It should be soon!"
Staring at the food in the wok, Gu Zheng became more and more nervous. He did not know when the 'Instant of Youth' would appear, but now that the dish was about to be ready, if it did not appear soon, there would be no chance for it to appear.
"Is there really no 'Instant of Youth'?"
Just as Gu Zheng's heart was filled with mixed feelings and he was about to take the food out of the wok, the 'Instant of Youth' appeared.
Under the observation of Gu Zheng's Eye of Dao, the originally good food instantly changed its characteristics, and the delicious wok became pig food. It happened so fast that no one could react, and there was no time to do anything to remedy it!
Gu Zheng's heart was drenched in cold sweat. The appearance of the 'Instant of Youth' had completely shattered the hope in his heart.
Previously, Gu Zheng was not satisfied. He had hoped that the Eye of Dao would be able to see some clues before the 'Instant of Youth' appeared, even if it was just a little bit! However, it was a pity that he really did not find any clues.
Previously, Gu Zheng had hoped that the vibration of the Five Elements Immortal Ball in his body might be a turning point in this hopeless situation. However, now that the 'Instant of Youth' had appeared, he could not feel anything different about the Five Elements Immortal Ball.
"It's over. The mission this time failed miserably!"
Gu Zheng smiled bitterly. Since there was no turning point, then the real mission was an unsolvable situation.
However, just as Gu Zheng was about to clean up the food destroyed by the 'Instant of Youth', the Five Elements Immortal Ball in his body vibrated again!
Internally, Gu Zheng's Five Elements Immortal Ball was glowing. The five-colored light intertwined and rushed into his mind like a rainbow.
Gu Zheng only felt a pain in his head, and then there was a buzzing sound. When everything returned to normal, he had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
"How is it?"
Seeing that Gu Zheng had returned to normal, the artifact spirit hurriedly asked. She could sense that Gu Zheng was acting strangely, but she did not know what Gu Zheng had experienced.
"I've always felt that the Five Elements Immortal Ball and the Immortal Power Ball were unusual. There are secrets that I have not discovered yet. Now it seems that it is true! I was not born with the Heart of Dao, but after the magical Five Elements Immortal Ball encountered the 'Instant of Youth' twice, it changed as if it had been awakened! It underwent a mysterious change in me, and this change made me feel that I also have the Heart of Dao! "Gu Zheng said excitedly.
"You feel that you also have it? Why are you not sure? "
The artifact spirit was very excited, but she was also very puzzled.
"I didn't say it because I have not awakened the mysterious feeling that the Heart of Dao should have. I feel that I still need to experience the 'Instant of Youth' one more time before my acquired Heart of Dao can be truly awakened!"
After saying that, Gu Zheng took the mission ingredients and started to pack them up.
"But if that's the case, the mission will still fail. After all, awakening the Heart of Dao also takes time!" The artifact spirit said gloomily.
"Compared to having the Heart of Dao, failing the mission is nothing to me! Although the Lord Gokusen said that it is nothing to not have the Heart of Dao, since there is such a magical power that is even rarer than the Eye of Dao, but I don't have it, this is an indescribable sadness for me! "Gu Zheng said seriously.
Just like before, Gu Zheng started to cook after packing up the ingredients.
This time, during the cooking process, Gu Zheng was not nervous. He would definitely awaken the Heart of Dao. As for the failure of the mission, this was something that no one could do anything about.
The dishes were about to come out of the pot. With the previous experience, Gu Zheng knew that the 'Instant of Youth' would appear in a moment.
Suddenly, Gu Zheng's mind exploded. Everything around him seemed to be different because of this. That feeling was like staying in a closed and stuffy room for a long time, and suddenly someone opened the window and the fresh air from outside rushed in!
Awakened, Gu Zheng had awakened the Heart of Dao! In an instant, he understood the Heart of Dao, and his heart was shaken!
Gu Zheng originally thought that the awakening of the Heart of Dao would cause him to miss the suppression of the 'Instant of Youth'. After all, the 'Instant of Youth' appeared very quickly!
However, after truly awakening the Heart of Dao, Gu Zheng realized that the 'Instant of Youth' had been secretly brewing for a longer time than he thought!
In Gu Zheng's understanding, Fleeting Youth only took three seconds from the time it was brewing to the moment it appeared. However, in reality, this process was even longer. It was long enough for an Immortal Chef with a Dao Heart to prepare!
After all, Gu Zheng's Heart of Dao was awakened ten seconds before the appearance of the 'Instant of Youth'. And when he awakened it, the 'Instant of Youth' had just begun brewing.
Ten seconds was enough for an ordinary person to do a lot of things, let alone an Immortal Chef like Gu Zheng.
Feeling the lack of change in the ingredients, Gu Zheng quickly made up for it.
Although the ingredients and supplementary ingredients for the mission were limited, Gu Zheng could only use what he had to make up for it. Fortunately, the dish 'Instant of Youth' did not require anything else to make up for it. As long as he grasped the Dao of Transformation, he could easily deal with it.
Hence, Gu Zheng used the Dao of Transformation to change the ingredients in the food, perfectly solving the undesirable mutation of the 'Instant of Youth'.
It was like a withered tree coming back to life. After the undesirable mutation of the 'Instant of Youth' was stopped, it actually produced some ingredients that were not originally present in the food! And the appearance of these ingredients would all be used by Gu Zheng to complete the final sublimation of the 'Instant of Youth'.
Finally, the cooked food was placed on Yun Songtao's table by Gu Zheng.
Yun Songtao opened the lid on the plate, and an extremely fragrant form appeared. The pleasant smell made Yun Songtao involuntarily take a deep breath.
"Hmm, so fragrant!"
Yun Songtao said in an intoxicated manner, and hurriedly ate the food on the plate.
"Is this really the meat of the Cold Valley Beast Emperor? How can it be so delicious! "
The food on the plate had been finished, and Yun Songtao licked his lips as if he had not had enough. Not to mention that he believed that there was no cold poison in the meat of the Cold Valley Beast Emperor, even if there was still cold poison, as long as it was still so delicious, he would not care about it at all!
Yun Songtao's evaluation of the delicious Cold Valley Beast Emperor's meat was naturally full of praise.
"Congratulations to the successor of Gokusen. Congratulations on completing the test of culinary skill. Will the reward be given now or later?"
After Yun Songtao made his evaluation, which could be considered as a perfect ending to Gu Zheng's mission, the voice of the Artifact Spirit sounded.
"Give me the reward later. I want to enjoy the joy of receiving the reward in a calm state."
Indeed, Gu Zheng's heart was not calm. There were a total of two reasons.
First, the enlightenment after awakening the Dao Heart.
Second, since the test of culinary skill was over, he wanted to settle the karma of this mission first.
"Okay, whenever you want it, I'll give it to you!"
The Artifact Spirit was truly happy for Gu Zheng. Not only did Gu Zheng complete the test of culinary skill, but he also awakened the Dao Heart. This caused her to look at Gu Zheng with eyes as soft as water, and her voice was also as soft as water.
Looking at the Artifact Spirit's appearance, Gu Zheng couldn't help but tremble. At this moment, Die Ling's voice sounded.
"Congratulations Master, congratulations Master! Master has finally completed this mission. This is great! "
Gu Zheng looked at Die Ling. Die Ling looked very calm, but he didn't doubt that this excited little dragoness was very restrained. Otherwise, she would have jumped onto his body.
"Congratulations to you too!"
Gu Zheng smiled and patted Die Ling's head. Then he looked at Yun Songtao and said, "Come, I'll remove the restriction for you!"
"Thank you, Great Immortal!"
Yun Songtao hurried to Gu Zheng's side. He was so excited that his body was trembling. With a life and death restriction on his body, his life and death were in the hands of others. This was not a good feeling.
"Tomorrow at this time, bring your son to the shop. I'll remove the restriction in his dantian."
Gu Zheng gave Yun Songtao a time limit, then left the shop with Die Ling. He wanted to understand the karma of the mortals, especially the mortals who contributed to him at the beginning of the mission due to him casting the net.
There were dozens of mortals, but Gu Zheng and Die Ling remembered all of their auras.
Gu Zheng and Die Ling flew in the air. They spread out their divine senses and found the customers one by one. They also gave them some benefits that made them go wild with joy.
A day later, Yun Songtao brought Yun Hao to the shop.
Yun Hao didn't even dare to look at Gu Zheng when he visited the shop again. He kept his head down and even spoke like a yes-man.
Let bygones be bygones. Gu Zheng didn't say anything to Yun Hao. After removing the restriction in Yun Hao's body, he gave Yun Songtao some resources as a reward.
To Yun Songtao, it was already good enough that the father and son's crisis was resolved. He didn't dare to hope that Gu Zheng would give them any more benefits! So when he saw the things Gu Zheng gave him, he was naturally overwhelmed by the favor and thanked him profusely.
When Gu Zheng placed the life and death restriction on Yun Songtao, he didn't plan on giving him additional benefits after the mission was completed. However, Yun Songtao completed the mission very well. He allowed Gu Zheng to obtain a fortune, so Gu Zheng wanted to reward him.
After Yun Songtao left, an old man with white hair and a youthful face appeared outside the shop. He was Huang Junde who helped Yun Songtao complete the mission.
Huang Junde respectfully said: "Huang Junde is here to visit Master Bai!"
Gu Zheng said: "Come in!"
Huang Junde entered the shop, and Die Ling served him tea.
After a few sincere words of praise, Huang Junde said: "Master Bai, this Huang is here to ask for a reward!"
As a First Grade Immortal Chef, although his culinary skills weren't as profound as Gu Zheng's, Huang Junde's attitude was very humble when he spoke.
Gu Zheng smiled and didn't say anything. He only focused on tasting the tea in his cup. Die Ling frowned and said: "Old man, you followed Yun Songtao here. You must know that my master is kind and generous, so you're here to ask for benefits, right?"
"No, this Huang is here to ask for benefits because I value Master Bai's kindness. However, this Huang can also give a reason for asking for benefits!" Huang Junde said.
"What reason? Help me complete the last few missions? "Gu Zheng asked.
"Master Bai is a smart person. I knew I couldn't hide it from Master Bai!" Huang Junde laughed.
When Yun Songtao completed his fourth mission, he asked Gu Zheng how to complete his mission. At that time, Gu Zheng had his suspicions, but he didn't ask in detail! After all, he was doing a mission. When someone wanted to help him complete his mission, it was best for him to pretend that he didn't know. Otherwise, who knew what the Artifact Spirit would say?
After that, the shop's good business for three consecutive days was clearly abnormal! The customers who came to the shop all provided qualified ingredients, but they were betting on the lowest grade. It was obvious that they weren't the kind of customers who came because they were tempted by the compensation.
"Alright, so the abnormal business for the last few days was caused by this old man!"
Sure enough, after learning the truth, the Artifact Spirit fiercely gritted her teeth.
However, Gu Zheng's mission had been completed. Even if the Artifact Spirit knew now, she could only grit her teeth. After all, Gu Zheng didn't do anything that violated the rules.
"Tell me, what benefits does Fellow Huang want?"
Although this was the first time Gu Zheng met Huang Junde, Huang Junde had contributed greatly to his mission. If he wanted some benefits, Gu Zheng wouldn't be stingy.
"I want the 'Sweeping Eight Desolation Halberd' in the shop!"
The 'Sweeping Eight Desolation Halberd' that Huang Junde mentioned was the top grade Immortal Weapon that the Artifact Spirit used to attract customers. It was also something that Huang Junde had always wanted.
