Hearing that Huang Junde wanted a top-grade immortal tool, the artifact spirit angrily said to Gu Zheng, "Don't give it to him. That old man is dreaming!"
"Don't worry. Why would I give it to him? Although I don't use a halberd and he contributed a lot to my mission, asking for a top-grade immortal tool is too much! "Gu Zheng coldly snorted.
"Yes, don't give it to him. Since you've already completed your mission, I can tell you some of the rewards! All the resources, immortal tools, and cultivation methods that I took out as compensation will become part of your mission reward after you complete your mission! If you give him the Sweeping Eight Desolation Halberd, you won't have it! "the artifact spirit said.
"Wow! I've really struck it rich! "
Gu Zheng laughed in his heart. In order to attract immortal cultivators, the artifact spirit took out a lot of things. However, he didn't expect that these things would become part of his mission reward.
"Fellow Daoist Huang wants the Sweeping Eight Desolation Halberd. Isn't this request a bit too much?" Gu Zheng looked at Huang Junde.
"Master Bai, don't be anxious. The reason why I dared to ask for the Sweeping Eight Desolation Halberd is not simply because I helped you with your last few missions," Huang Junde said.
"Oh? Could it be that there's something else? "Gu Zheng frowned.
"Indeed."
Huang Junde paused for a moment before continuing, "Fellow Daoist Bai, do you still remember the food cultivator that I made that was ruined? Although this Huang doesn't have the Dao Eye, this Huang knows that the food cultivation that was ruined was a heaven-sent opportunity. In the hands of an Immortal Chef with the Dao Eye, it would become a super food cultivation! When I was still in the Desolate Era, there was a super Immortal Chef who wanted my food cultivator. However, I didn't have any desires at that time, so I didn't agree. However, in this world, even a few demon bastards dared to bully me. This made me want Master Bai's Sweeping Eight Desolation Halberd to wash away my shame! Even though he knew that Master Bai was a super Immortal Chef, he still asked Yun Songtao to bring a food cultivator here. Moreover, he didn't place a big bet. He wanted to fulfill Master Bai's wish! Master Bai has indeed turned that failed food cultivation into a super food cultivation. This is exactly what I wanted to see! "
Huang Junde revealed the secret and looked at Gu Zheng with pleading eyes.
Hearing Huang Junde's words, Gu Zheng's heart was moved. He believed that Huang Junde was not lying. He was only immersed in joy at the time and felt that he had picked up a loophole, so he did not think too much about it.
"Alright, so that's how it is. Looks like I can't keep this Sweeping Eight Desolation Halberd!"
Gu Zheng did not immediately reply to Huang Junde. Instead, he smiled at the Artifact Spirit.
"Indeed, this old man gave us a surprise!"
The Artifact Spirit shook his head and smiled. "Anyway, you don't lack a super immortal tool. You can give this Sweeping Eight Desolation Halberd to him. Not only did he help you speed up the process of your mission, but he also gave you the cooking method of a super food cultivator. He also allowed you to comprehend the Dao Heart by chance! A top-grade immortal tool in exchange for so many things and peace of mind. It's worth it! "
Even the Artifact Spirit, who had always been stingy, said that it was worth it. Gu Zheng naturally would not be stingy.
"Many thanks for your help, Fellow Daoist Huang. This Sweeping Eight Desolation Halberd will be your immortal tool from now on!"
Gu Zheng handed the Sweeping Eight Desolation Halberd to Huang Junde, who kept thanking him. Then, he gave him a jade slip.
"This jade slip records some of my cooking experiences and some of my self-created dishes. I hope it will be of some help to Fellow Daoist Huang. Alright, my business on the Wind Billow Star is done. We will meet again if fate allows! "Gu Zheng said.
"Once again, I thank Master Bai! I wish Master Bai a safe journey! "Huang Junde bowed to Gu Zheng.
After leaving the shop, Gu Zheng immediately began to look for the space node. He happily hummed along the way.
"Are you in such a good mood after completing your mission?" The Artifact Spirit asked with a smile.
"Of course! Not only did I test my cooking skills, but I also learned a new cooking method of a super food cultivator. I also awakened the Dao Heart by chance. Moreover, there are rewards for completing the mission. It would be strange if I were in a bad mood!" Gu Zheng said.
"You still know about the rewards? I thought you had forgotten about it! "The Artifact Spirit rolled his eyes at Gu Zheng.
"I used to urge you to get the rewards. This time, you are the one who is anxious." Gu Zheng laughed.
Looking at Gu Zheng's smug face, the Artifact Spirit gritted his teeth and said, "Do you want the rewards or not? If you don't, you won't get any! "
"Of course, I want them. Why wouldn't I want them?" Gu Zheng said.
The Artifact Spirit rolled his eyes at Gu Zheng again. Then, he said seriously, "Congratulations to the successor of Gokusen for completing the mission of 'Great Accomplishment in Cooking Skills'!"
"You are rewarded with four Immortal Grade Immortality Peach Trees and two Holy Grade Immortality Peach Trees."
"You are rewarded with 500 Medium Grade Ingredients, 300 Excellent Grade Ingredients, 100 High Grade Ingredients, four Immortal Grade Ingredients, and two Heavenly Treasures Grade Ingredients."
"You are rewarded with 20 Tribute Rice, Tribute Wheat, Tribute Vegetables, and Tribute Sparrows."
"You are rewarded with five culinary skills."
"You are rewarded with 200 Excellent Grade Immortal Essence Elixirs and 50 High Grade Immortal Essence Elixirs."
"You are rewarded with a Taotie Statue."
"You are rewarded with a Dao Comprehending Food Cultivator."
"You are rewarded with Star Kill, Wuji Ring, Tian Ji Sword …"
Lights flashed in Gu Zheng's Chaotic Space. One by one, the rewards for completing the mission appeared in his Chaotic Space.
"Awesome!"
Looking at the items that appeared in his Chaotic Space, Gu Zheng's heart was filled with joy.
"Weapon Spirit, what's with the Immortal Grade Immortality Peach and Holy Grade Immortality Peach?"
Gu Zheng could not help but ask as he looked at the little peach tree that appeared in his Chaotic Space.
In the past, Gu Zheng had also been rewarded with Immortality Peaches when he completed missions. However, those Immortality Peaches were not outstanding among the High Grade Ingredients. Although the Immortality Peach Tree that grew in the Great Desolate Space had not even sprouted, Gu Zheng was able to sense that it was extremely extraordinary.
"The so-called Immortal Grade Peach of Immortality Tree and Saint Grade Peach of Immortality Tree produce the legendary Peach of Immortality Tree that ripens every 6,000 years and 9,000 years."
"Ah?"
Gu Zheng's eyes widened when he heard the Weapon Spirit's words.
"Don't be surprised. This is just your legend. There's definitely a difference between the legend and the truth."
The Weapon Spirit smiled and said, "The Immortality Peach Tree grows in the Immortality Peach Garden. The density of Celestial Core Power there is higher than in your Chaotic Space. Moreover, there are specialized people who take care of it. Naturally, the Immortality Peach Tree's ripening time is much shorter than in your legend. For example, the Immortal Grade Immortality Peach only takes 600 years to ripen, while the Holy Grade Immortality Peach only takes 900 years to ripen. As for the Peach of Immortality that I rewarded you before, according to your legends, it ripens every 3,000 years. As for its actual ripening time, it's only 30 years. After all, its quality isn't that outstanding among ordinary high-grade ingredients. "
"Okay! The Immortal Grade Immortality Peach and Holy Grade Immortality Peach, could it be … "
Gu Zheng dragged out his words as he looked at the Weapon Spirit. The High Grade Immortality Peach ripened every 30 years, but the Immortal Grade Immortality Peach and Holy Grade Immortality Peach ripened every 600 years and 900 years respectively. Just thinking about it made him excited.
"The Immortal Grade Peaches of Immortality are Heavenly Treasures. As for the Saint Grade Peaches of Immortality, apart from being stronger than ordinary Heavenly Treasures, every single one of them contains traces of the Dao," said the Artifact Spirit.
"As expected, it's really like this!"
Looking at the Holy Grade Immortality Peach Tree, Gu Zheng sighed with emotion. Although the Immortal Grade Immortality Peach also contained traces of Dao, their effects were only outstanding among the High Grade Ingredients. Moreover, they were very rare. On the other hand, the Immortality Peaches in the Heaven Realm contained traces of Dao. Just thinking about it was unbelievable.
"It's a pity that it still takes a long time to ripen!" Gu Zheng said, shaking his head.
"Do you think everyone is as ridiculous as you? You've only been cultivating for a few years, and you've already reached the level of Daluo Jinxian? For an ordinary cultivator, owning such a Immortality Peach Tree would make him smile when he was cultivating! As for 900 years, it's really not a long time for them! "the Weapon Spirit said disdainfully.
Ignoring the Weapon Spirit's disdain, Gu Zheng said again, "Speaking of which, the Immortality Peach Tree should be an extremely rare Heavenly Fruit Tree, right? How did Lord Gokusen get it? "
"Lord Gokusen is a Holy Celestial. Although the Immortality Peach Tree is extremely rare, if he asked for some from the Heaven Realm, would the Heaven Realm dare to refuse?" the Weapon Spirit said disdainfully again.
Gu Zheng laughed and continued to arrange his rewards according to the order.
"I only have slightly more than 100 High Grade Ingredients. Now that I've been rewarded with 100 High Grade Ingredients, I'm really happy! As for these Immortality Grade Ingredients that contain traces of Dao, I wonder if they can bring me another opportunity? "
Gu Zheng carefully put away the Immortality Grade Ingredients. Now, he had more than 20 Immortality Grade Ingredients. As for the High Grade Ingredients, he already had four High Grade Ingredients.
"Although it's very difficult to comprehend traces of Dao, you are a person with great fortune. Who knows, they might really bring you an opportunity!" the Weapon Spirit said with a smile.
"As for the Tribute Rice, Tribute Wheat, Tribute Vegetables and Tribute Sparrows, they should be specially provided for the Heaven Realm, right?" Gu Zheng asked.
"That's right. These are all High Grade Ingredients. Their original growth cycle is a little longer. However, in your Chaos Space, with the help of you and the Butterfly Spirit, their growth cycle should be shortened to a dozen years," the Weapon Spirit said.
Gu Zheng had the ability to accelerate the growth of ingredients. Because the Butterfly Spirit had eaten that strange rabbit when she was young, she also had an extraordinary ability to take care of ingredients! Although the Way of Raising Ingredients that she had mastered was not as profound as Gu Zheng's, it did not conflict with Gu Zheng's. They often cooperated to accelerate the growth of ingredients so that they could obtain resources more quickly.
"Speaking of which, Weapon Spirit, in the past, the rewards for the Cooking Skills were more generous. However, why is it that for such a big mission, the rewards for the Cooking Skills are only five?" Gu Zheng asked curiously.
"These five Cooking Skills are not simple. They are fixed rewards and are no longer optional. To put it bluntly, four of the five culinary arts are to help you cultivate a deeper level of the Dao Eye! "The Artifact Spirit said.
"A deeper level of the Eye of Dao?"
Gu Zheng's eyes widened. Comprehending the Eye of Dao allowed him to see all the substances that made up the ingredients. Therefore, he had never thought that the Eye of Dao would have a deeper level!
"That's right, a deeper level of the Eye of Dao!"
The Weapon Spirit paused and then said solemnly, "When your realm is not high enough, you can't see things on a deeper level. The Eye of Dao is the same. However, things like realms are sometimes very difficult to break through unless you can jump out of the fixed circle. "
The Weapon Spirit's words made Gu Zheng also become serious. "Did Lord Gokusen ask you to tell me this?"
"Not really. He just said it to me. I just imitated his expression when he said it," the Weapon Spirit said.
"Then what did Lord Gokusen mean by these words?" Gu Zheng asked.
"Lord Gokusen did not tell me these things. The explanation I can give you is just my guess. Earth is a circle, and Wind Billow Star is another circle. These two circles belong to a small part of the circle in the Untainted Land. However, there may be other circles outside the Untainted Land. It is also possible that the Untainted Land is just a small part of a large circle. "
With the Artifact Spirit's words, Gu Zheng understood what she meant.
In fact, what the Weapon Spirit said was the same as the galaxies in the eyes of mortals. However, in the eyes of mortals, the galaxies that they knew were actually just a part of the Untainted Land.
For mortals, it was just a dream to reach the edge of a known galaxy. After all, the number of light-years required was already so high that it was hopeless. However, for immortal cultivators, going to distant galaxies might be directly connected by Immortal Transmission Formations. They could also shorten the distance between galaxies by passing through black holes.
For example, Gu Zheng returned to Earth from the Untainted Land and went from Earth to Wind Billow Star. These places, which in the eyes of mortals would take tens of millions of light-years to reach, were just a matter of a very short time for Gu Zheng.
"There's always someone better than me!"
Gu Zheng sighed. If the Weapon Spirit had not mentioned it, he would not have thought about such an extremely distant matter. After all, there were countless capable people in the Untainted Land. However, this topic was not common knowledge. It was enough to show how difficult it was to jump out of the circle.
"You didn't mention the medium-grade and superior-grade ingredients in the reward for this task!"
The Weapon Spirit actually emphasized the medium-grade and superior-grade ingredients, which were originally not surprising. This made Gu Zheng's eyes widen!
"Could it be that these medium-grade and superior-grade ingredients were all brought back by Lord Gokusen from outside the circle?"
Apart from this possibility, Gu Zheng could not think of any other! After all, although the grades of those ingredients were medium-grade and superior-grade, they were all ingredients that Gu Zheng had never seen before.
"It should be like that! The reason why the four culinary skills can improve your Eye of Dao can only be in the process of cooking these ingredients, "the Weapon Spirit said.
"I'm looking forward to it! When I'm free, I must see the difference in the cooking process of these ingredients from outside the circle! "
Gu Zheng paused and asked curiously, "There are five culinary skills. What is the other one?"
"The other culinary skill is related to 'Fleeting Youth'. When Lord Gokusen set it as the reward for the task, he knew that you had not seen 'Fleeting Youth', so he wanted you to experience it after completing the task. But who would have thought that in this task, not only did you experience 'Fleeting Youth', but you also awakened the Heart of Dao! "the Weapon Spirit said with emotion.
Gu Zheng nodded and began to pack up the next reward.
"The reward is 200 superior-grade Immortal Essence Pills and 50 superior-grade Immortal Essence Pills. These are all good things for cooking Immortal Essence Pills! Especially the superior-grade Immortal Essence Pills, each of which gathers the essence of several superior-grade ingredients. "
Gu Zheng placed the Immortal Essence Pills in the exclusive storage space in the Untainted Land Space, and then picked up the next reward.
"I didn't expect that the Taotie statue would also be rewarded to me."
Looking at the exquisite jade statue in his hand, Gu Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This psychic little object had almost caused him to fall into an irrecoverable situation during the task.
"Don't underestimate the Taotie statue. When you have time to cultivate, invade it with your Divine Sense, and you will know its benefits," the Weapon Spirit said.
"It seems that this should be an object similar to a Divine Sense Jade Slip."
Gu Zheng put away the Taotie statue, and then said, "After being the successor of Gokusen for so long, among all my mission rewards, there are a total of two food cultivation rewards. The first was the enlightenment food cultivation, which allowed me to comprehend the crucial Eye of Dao. What will this enlightenment food cultivation let me comprehend? I'm really looking forward to it! "
"After you return to Earth, it will take a few more months to collect the Power of Will and the pure Power of Faith. During this period of time, you can properly comprehend or cultivate the things you are interested in," the Artifact Spirit said.
"Yes, it will take several months!"
Gu Zheng smiled and looked at the last reward. These things had all attracted business for the shop in the process of the task. There were immortal weapons, cultivation methods, elixirs, food ingredients, refining materials, and so on. It was really all-encompassing.
Gu Zheng first took out the jade slip from the pile of rewards. "I thought you were just showing up. Who would have thought that you would eventually become one of my mission rewards?"
In the jade slip that Gu Zheng took out, there was a very amazing cultivation method, "Death of Stars".
The test of "Culinary Success" was completed, and the generous reward made Gu Zheng beam with joy.
Two days later, Gu Zheng found a suitable space node on the Wind Billow Star. He broke through the space and was about to return to Earth.
There were all kinds of dangers in the black hole, which Gu Zheng had seen when he returned to Earth from the Untainted Land. The space storm in the black hole had made him experience great danger.
Endless darkness and deathly silence.
In the darkness, Gu Zheng's body was illuminated by the weak light provided by the space-breaking immortal weapon, which made him look as small as a firefly in the dark night.
It had already been a day since Gu Zheng entered the black hole. This day had been relatively peaceful. Let alone something as frightening as a spatial storm, Gu Zheng hadn't even encountered a spatial turbulence that was slightly weaker than a spatial storm.
However, peace was not a good thing for Gu Zheng. In a place like the black hole, space turbulence was a very common thing. But in a day, he did not encounter any space turbulence! This made Gu Zheng understand that a large space storm was brewing. God knew if he would be in the range of the space storm when the time came.
