Butterfly Spirit's light net wrapped around the stone dagger. The stone dagger suddenly shrank and tried to pass through the light net.
Die Ling's brows furrowed and the light shrunk according to her will. The net of light successfully blocked the dagger's escape.
The dagger that was wrapped in the light net couldn't fly anymore. Unwilling to be captured, it immediately grew bigger and looked like it was going to burst the light net.
The dagger was growing bigger and so was the light net. This was the battle between Butterfly Spirit and the dagger.
When the light net grew bigger due to the dagger, it was big enough to wrap around an entire house. The situation was in a stalemate.
At the same time.
The tornado above Gu Zheng's head disappeared and the Black Hole Devouring Elixir's effect ended. The spatial turbulence returned to normal and started moving according to its original trajectory.
No matter if it was Gu Zheng or Butterfly Spirit, the danger they were going to face increased because the spatial turbulence returned to normal! After all, the part where the apple turned into sand had passed and what was left was the original taste.
"Xiu …"
A whistling sound came from the dagger. The recovery of the spatial turbulence seemed to have given it energy and its aura changed because of this.
Butterfly Spirit raised her eyebrows and two rays of light shot out from her horns and connected with the light net that wrapped around the dagger.
The originally still dagger broke through the light net's suppression and flew up again. However, the flying dagger didn't manage to break free from the light net's imprisonment. The light net followed it like a shadow and flew forward. As a result, the two loose lines suddenly tightened and pulled the butterfly spirit along with it.
Just like fishing, a big fish pulled Butterfly Spirit who was pulling the fishing rod into the water and quickly swam in the water.
"No need!"
Gu Zheng wanted to go over and help, but the weapon spirit's voice suddenly sounded.
"This strange dagger also has a spirit. Butterfly Spirit's current struggle with it is actually a process of subduing it." The weapon spirit said.
"I'm worried that Butterfly Spirit will be hurt by it." Gu Zheng said.
"Don't worry! The dagger has a spirit, but it still needs a master. Maybe it appeared in front of you a few times because it wants to find a strong master! "
The artifact spirit paused for a moment before smiling, "But now it seems that you won't have the chance to become its master. The one competing with it is the butterfly spirit."
"Haha!"
Gu Zheng smiled and flew towards where Die Ling was. Although he didn't need help, he could at least watch.
After exchanging a few words with the artifact spirit, the butterfly spirit had already flown away. However, Die Ling and Gu Zheng were telepathically connected, and Gu Zheng knew where she was.
When Gu Zheng spread his Phoenix Wings and caught up to Butterfly Spirit, Butterfly Spirit was still wrestling with the dagger in the net of light. The dagger was already at a disadvantage and was being dragged along by Butterfly Spirit who had transformed into her true form.
"Don't worry, Master. I'll be able to subdue it in a while!"
Butterfly Spirit sent a message to Gu Zheng. At the same time, something like electricity flowed from her two horns to the net of light, causing the dagger in the net of light to tremble.
Under Butterfly Spirit's tugging and electric shocks, the dagger in the net of light was finally powerless to struggle. It returned to its original size. It first stood up, then fell down, and did this three times as if it was bowing to someone.
Butterfly Spirit dragged the dagger in front of her and dripped blood on it to recognize it as its master. It then obediently fell into Butterfly Spirit's hand.
"Xiu!"
Butterfly Spirit waved the dagger in her hand and a cold light with an ancient aura flew into the distance like sword qi.
"Good!"
Gu Zheng couldn't help but exclaim. Butterfly Spirit's seemingly casual wave of the dagger definitely had the destructive power to kill an early stage cultivator like Daluo Jinxian.
"Master, how much did your cultivation increase?"
Butterfly Spirit happily flew to Gu Zheng's side.
"Gokusen Technique went from the original sixth level 40% to the sixth level 60%. This Black Hole Food Xiu's effect is too strong!"
Gu Zheng paused before continuing, "But unfortunately, I don't know when I'll be able to use it again."
"Why?" Butterfly Spirit asked.
"There are missing ingredients! Not all ingredients can be used to cook the Black Hole Food Xiu. "Gu Zheng said.
"Master has so many ingredients and the Black Hole Food Xiu can only make one?" Butterfly Spirit's eyes opened wide.
"It's not that it can only make one. I can also make some Black Hole Food Xiu that aren't as effective as this one. However, I don't need this type of Black Hole Food Xiu. The increase it can give me is inferior to Immortal Fruit Food Xiu and Origin Core Food Xiu. "Gu Zheng said.
"So it's like this!"
Butterfly Spirit's voice paused and then she handed the dagger in front of Gu Zheng, "Master, help me give it a name?"
"It doesn't have a name?"
Normally, when an immortal artifact recognized a master, it would gain understanding of the immortal artifact. It would also contain information about its name, unless it was a newly made dagger.
"Yes, it's called Nameless. But I think it's too ugly."
Butterfly Spirit said that the dagger's original name was ugly. The dagger immediately shook in her hand as if it felt wronged.
Gu Zheng smiled and looked at the dagger in Butterfly Spirit's hand.
The dagger was made of stone and looked very simple. There was nothing fancy about it. If there had to be one difference, it would be the crescent mark on it.
"The Immortal artifact you used in the past is called Waning Moon Scimitar. This dagger was obtained from the black hole and has a crescent-shaped imprint. Let's just call it Dark Moon!" Gu Zheng said.
"Waning Moon, Dark Moon, good! Nameless will be called Dark Moon from now on! "
Butterfly Spirit happily stroked the dagger and then looked at Gu Zheng with a smile, "Master, Dark Moon sent me a simple message. It's very satisfied with this new name!"
Three days later.
The mortals who were working in the fields were shocked by the crack that suddenly appeared in the void.
In the next moment, the villagers knelt down and bowed to Gu Zheng who appeared in the void.
This was the Untainted Land. Although mortals respected immortal cultivators, they were not very alarmed when they saw an immortal cultivator appear.
"Where is this in Aparagodānīya?"
Although he had comprehended a higher level of Space Dao, Gu Zheng could only pinpoint the location from the black hole. He could not pinpoint the exact location to a country, let alone a county.
"Immortal, this is Fengcheng County of Minglan Country," a mortal said.
"Minglan Country," Gu Zheng murmured.
The reason why Gu Zheng broke the space in Aparagodānīya was to go to his cave residence in Floating Mountain. The environment there was suitable for food cultivation.
Floating Mountain was in Leiyin County, which belonged to Changping Country. Changping Country and Minglan Country were separated by a country. The Untainted Land was very big. The distance between counties was considered short by flying for ten days to half a month, not to mention the distance between countries.
"Where is the county?"
Gu Zheng planned to go to the Teleportation Pavilion in the county and use the Teleportation Immortal Array to go to Leiyin County.
"Immortal, the county is in the west!"
The mortal pointed out the direction to Gu Zheng, and Gu Zheng immediately flew to the west.
It took Gu Zheng four days to fly from the countryside to the county capital.
Looking at the tall city walls of the county in the distance, Die Ling complained, "We're finally here. It only took three days to return to the Untainted Land from Earth!"
"This is flying in the real world. That's space travel in the black hole. You can't compare the two."
Gu Zheng smiled and said, "It's already good that we didn't have to fly for seven or eight days. If we really had to fly for seven or eight days, that would be depressing!"
Gu Zheng understood that Die Ling was complaining because she was about to go into hibernation. The feeling of going into hibernation was getting stronger and stronger.
Although Die Ling was an adult, she still needed to sleep once in a while. This sleeping state was actually an important way for her cultivation to improve.
Before going into hibernation, eating a portion of Gu Zheng's food would be very beneficial to the improvement of one's cultivation base. Therefore, Die Ling had been looking forward to this when she was on Earth. However, the Immortal Core Power on Earth was thin. In order to maximize the effects of food cultivation, it was most cost-effective to return to the Untainted Land.
However, compared to the Untainted Land, a blessed land like Floating Mountain had rich Immortal Core Power that was more suitable for food cultivation! Because of this, Gu Zheng didn't waste any time on the road. He brought Die Ling straight to their destination.
Gu Zheng's simple consolation made Die Ling feel much better.
"Master is right. If we really had to fly for seven or eight days, that would be depressing!" Die Ling smiled.
"I hope that when we return to Floating Mountain, the application for food cultivation doesn't have to wait a few days. Otherwise, you'll be depressed again." Gu Zheng said.
"The last time Master ate food cultivation in Floating Mountain, it was because Master Duan was refining. If Master Duan wasn't refining, you wouldn't have to wait. However, this time, I'm going to use food cultivation before you. I really can't wait that long! "
Die Ling yawned as soon as she finished speaking. Her eyes were filled with fatigue.
"Of course I'll let you go first. However, I don't plan to use food cultivation in Floating Mountain."
Die Ling didn't understand at first when she heard Gu Zheng's words. Then, she understood.
Although the Floating Mountain was a blessed land with rich immortal essence, it had been less than a year since Gu Zheng had consumed the food cultivator in the Floating Mountain.
In just a year, it was impossible for ordinary people to eat food cultivation that was more effective than Ya Xin's food cultivation! Not to mention that their bodies wouldn't allow it, the medicinal efficacy would decrease a lot. It was definitely not worth it.
In short, for an ordinary person, it was almost impossible for them to continuously consume powerful food cultivators in a short period of time.
However, for those who were observant, they knew what kind of person would be able to consume food cultivators twice in a year! This person either cultivated the Glutton Immortal Art, or the food he consumed was tailor-made for someone related to the Glutton Immortal.
In the past, he didn't know about the fights between Sage Immortal disciples and didn't pay attention to some things. However, now that he knew, Gu Zheng felt that it was better to be careful! Although he had returned to Eldritch World and would go to Heaven Realm to find Xiao Qi after he finished some matters, Xiao Qi wasn't the only disciple of Sage Immortal. He had to be on guard.
As for the place where he convinced people to use food cultivation, Gu Zheng set it at Buddha Heart Mountain in Leiyin County.
When he was about to reach the city gate, Gu Zheng put Die Ling into the Eldritch World to save on the transportation fee.
Gu Zheng changed from flying to walking. After passing through the city gate, he immediately went to the Transportation Pavilion.
Although it was his first time in Phoenix City County, Gu Zheng had already seen the location of the Transportation Pavilion when he was still in the sky. It was a tall building with a very stylish design.
After arriving at the Transportation Pavilion, Gu Zheng explained the purpose of his visit to the Transportation Pavilion.
"For international transportation, you need to pay the Transportation Pavilion three blue immortal coins." The Transportation Pavilion official said.
Three blue immortal coins was almost equivalent to three high quality ingredients! Although high quality ingredients weren't rare in Eldritch World, if it wasn't for urgent matters, ordinary cultivators wouldn't be willing to pay such a price to save a few months of flying time. After all, to them, a few months of time was nothing more than a pipe dream in their closed door cultivation.
Gu Zheng had a lot of resources. Three blue immortal coins was a small amount of money to him. However, he didn't pick up this small amount of money. Therefore, he sent Butterfly Spirit into the chaotic space in advance to save on the cost of teleportation.
After giving the Transportation Pavilion three blue immortal coins, Gu Zheng stood on the activated Transportation Immortal Array. Light flashed in front of his eyes and he appeared in the Transportation Pavilion in Leiyin County.
The Floating Mountain was just outside Leiyin County, so Gu Zheng didn't need to spend much time.
When Gu Zheng arrived at the Floating Mountain, the monk on duty wasn't Master Wu Nian, but Master Wu Nian's junior brother, Master Wu Nian.
Although it was Gu Zheng's first time meeting Master Wu Nian, since Gu Zheng was a guest of the Floating Mountain, Master Wu Nian was very polite to him. Moreover, Master Wu Nian told Master Wu Nian that Gu Zheng was an extremely powerful immortal chef, so he greeted him with a smile.
When Gu Zheng told Master Wu Nian about the food cultivation, Master Wu Nian immediately nodded and said that nothing special happened in the Floating Mountain recently.
After leaving Master Wu Nian's place, Gu Zheng scanned the Floating Mountain with his divine sense and found that none of the neighbors he knew were outside. He directly returned to his cave abode, saving himself the trouble of greeting them.
After arriving at the cave abode, Gu Zheng let out Die Ling, who had been staying in the Eldritch World.
"I'm home!"
Die Ling cheered as soon as she appeared in the cave abode.
The cave abode was very clean, but Die Ling still cleaned it seriously. Gu Zheng waited for her to tidy up the kitchen before going in to take out the ingredients for her food cultivation.
The food cultivation that Die Ling used was called the 'Spirit Beast Food Cultivation', but the one Gu Zheng was going to cook wasn't the one that Gokusen taught him.
Last time, after Gu Zheng had memorized all the ingredients he had and the information about the Dao Heart, he had a new cooking method for the Spirit Beast Food Cultivation that he was going to make for Die Ling.
The new cooking method also required ingredients from outside the circle, but the amount used was not large. Only one ingredient was enough.
Although the food cultivation was a new one, the difficulty of cooking it was very low for Gu Zheng, and nothing special happened during this time.
Soon, a brand new 'Spirit Beast Food Cultivation' came out of the wok, and Die Ling began to eat happily.
The effect of Die Ling using the food cultivation was also very big. The huge tornado that stole immortal energy appeared again, and the change in the flow of immortal energy was so obvious that the old neighbors immediately came out of seclusion.
"Master Wu Nian, is Master Bai back?"
Master Duan flew towards Master Wu Nian, who was watching the tornado in the air.
"That's right, he just came back an hour ago! I heard from my junior brother that Master Bai is an incredible Immortal Chef. Seeing him today, he is indeed extraordinary! I have never seen such a vast amount of immortal energy in a single food cultivation! "
While Master Wu Nian was sighing, Gan Long and Ye Hongjiang, who Gu Zheng knew, flew over.
"It feels like yesterday that Master Bai used the food cultivation. Is he going to use it again?"
Gan Long's eyes were filled with disbelief.
"It feels like yesterday, but in reality, eleven months have passed."
Ye Hongjiang's voice paused, and he turned to Master Duan. "Master, you have also used this super food cultivation before. How long do you think it will take for you to use it again?"
"After using the food cultivation last time, the immortal energy ball condensed into a huge amount of immortal energy in a short period of time. Although it doesn't affect the use of the food cultivation, the immortal energy ball won't be able to withstand it for a short period of time. It's just like the crazy influx of immortal energy after using the food cultivation. Moreover, this situation can only be improved with time. If one tries to shorten this special state, the results will be minimal! "
Master Duan paused and shook his head with a bitter smile. "If I have to give an accurate time, I think it will take at least eleven years!"
Eleven years was nothing to cultivators, but compared to the scene in front of them, it was like comparing one person to another.
"Amitabha!"
Master Wu Nian chanted.
"Fellow Daoists, you have misunderstood. The person who used the food cultivation this time isn't Master Bai, but his servant," Master Wu Nian said.
"Alright! That scared me. I thought it was Master Bai himself, but it turned out to be Miss Die Ling! "Gan Long laughed.
"Miss Die Ling has found a good master. The price of making such a food cultivation is very high!"
Ye Hongjiang's tone was filled with envy. Master Duan couldn't help but laugh. "What? Don't tell me you want to be Master Bai's servant? "
Being teased by Master Duan, Ye Hongjiang's face turned red. He stiffened his neck and said, "If being Master Bai's servant for a period of time can be exchanged for such a food cultivation, why not?"
"Fellow Daoist Ye is really carefree. You can really let go of your initial Daluo Jinxian status!" Master Duan laughed.
"What figure? We're all just ordinary cultivators, but you and Master Bai are both Masters! How about I follow you for a period of time and you pay me enough? "Ye Hongjiang laughed and teased Master Duan.
"Although refining weapons is a profitable job, I don't have much stock. I can't afford Fellow Daoist Ye's plundering!"
Master Duan laughed loudly. Ye Hongjiang and the others also laughed.
"Fellow Daoists, how have you been?"
Gu Zheng greeted the people in the air from afar.
Die Ling was using the food cultivation in the cave and didn't need Gu Zheng to protect her, so Gu Zheng came out.
