Gu Zheng didn't eat much last night. Although Du Yang chose a good restaurant, the restaurant wasn't very particular about the ingredients, which affected Gu Zheng's appetite.
"Device Spirit, this time's challenge, does it count as my win?"
Early the next morning, Gu Zheng suddenly remembered something and hurriedly called the Device Spirit in his heart. He didn't want to pay attention to the challenge issued by the head chef, but the Device Spirit encouraged him to accept the challenge. The most important thing was the temptation of a reward. Now it was time to ask for this reward.
Originally, Gu Zheng thought that the Device Spirit would take the initiative to mention the reward after the challenge. He didn't expect that the Device Spirit didn't say a word until now. Gu Zheng even suspected that if he didn't mention it, the Device Spirit would selectively forget about it.
"This time you won, I'll give you the fusion method of rice marrow immediately!"
The Device Spirit's reply came quickly, and the voice seemed to be a little reluctant. Gu Zheng secretly felt that the Device Spirit was very stingy, not only to him, but to everyone except Gokusen.
No matter whether the Device Spirit was stingy or generous, as long as it told him the fusion method of rice marrow, it would be fine. He was now not even halfway through the first realm. With the fusion of rice marrow, he could rush to the second realm, and the second realm could also be further improved, which was equivalent to his strength increasing several times.
Now he was very satisfied with his body, and his strength could increase several times. At that time, he was afraid that he could really deal with more than ten people, just like the special forces on TV.
No, he should be more powerful than the special forces. He was an immortal cultivator, and Gokusen's Immortal Cultivation Art was an authentic immortal cultivation method.
A string of information quickly appeared in Gu Zheng's mind. After seeing this string of information, Gu Zheng's face immediately changed, becoming dull and stupid.
The Device Spirit did tell him the fusion method of rice marrow, and it was very detailed. What was needed, how to do it, according to this method, the success rate was 100%, and there would be no waste.
But the problem was that the raw materials needed in this method made Gu Zheng tremble.
"Ginseng, snow lotus, fleeceflower, weapon spirit, are you sure you're not trying to fool me?"
Gu Zheng asked in a trembling voice. There were not many materials, only three main materials in total. Only by using these three main materials together with the Rice Pith, and then fusing them together would it be possible. However, the Tool Spirit had made a note behind these materials, stating that the lowest grade of the required materials had to be of ordinary quality.
Gu Zheng didn't even dare to think about ordinary quality ginseng, snow lotus, and Chinese knotweed. He knew very well what ordinary quality meant on Earth and how difficult it was. In an environment where even second-grade ingredients were hard to find, finding ordinary quality ingredients was basically like finding a needle in a haystack. It was completely dependent on luck.
"Is there a need for me to do that? What you've fused with is Normal grade rice marrow. The materials used can only be Normal grade. You can't lower the grade. If you lower the grade, it will affect the effect of the entire rice marrow!"
The Artifact Spirit said snappily. To it, a few ordinary materials were trash that it didn't want in the past.
"Okay, I understand. If I don't have ordinary quality ingredients, can I find second-grade ingredients and upgrade them all? Then I can use them, right?"
Gu Zheng gritted his teeth. He didn't have much confidence in ordinary quality ginseng, snow lotus, and Chinese knotweed. It was too difficult. However, second-grade ingredients should be better. There were many herb gatherers in the mountains. As long as the ingredients were naturally grown in the mountains, the chances of them reaching second-grade were still very high.
In this way, it didn't seem so difficult to do. Gu Zheng was also glad that he had the ability to upgrade ingredients. Otherwise, just finding these ingredients would be enough to give him a headache.
"Okay, but I have to remind you that you can only upgrade one ingredient per day in the Chaotic Space!" The Tool Spirit said again.
"I know!"
Gu Zheng was somewhat puzzled. The Tool Spirit had already told him that he could only upgrade one ingredient per day. However, now that he heard the Tool Spirit's words, he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
"You can only upgrade one ingredient per day. With your current realm, you can only upgrade three ingredients at most. Now that you have already upgraded the egg and water, that is to say, you can upgrade one ingredient to ordinary quality at most!"
The Tool Spirit's words almost made Gu Zheng jump up. Sure enough, the Tool Spirit still had a big trap waiting for him. Three ingredients, he could only upgrade three ingredients. He had already upgraded two ingredients, which meant that he could only upgrade one ingredient at most. That was to say, he had to find at least two kinds of ordinary quality ingredients to be able to fuse the rice pith and upgrade his physique and realm.
Two kinds of ordinary quality ingredients, especially rare ones like ginseng, snow lotus, and Chinese knotweed, was almost impossible.
"Tool Spirit, you did it on purpose, didn't you?"
Gu Zheng shouted angrily in his heart. It was an impossible thing. Even if he knew how to do it, what was the use? No wonder the Tool Spirit was so generous this time and gave him this reward when he accepted the challenge. It seemed that he was careless and had been cheated by the Tool Spirit again.
"You are wrong. I did not give you this restriction, but Lord Gokusen. It is good to upgrade ingredients, but finding ingredients is also a kind of fun. Upgrading ingredients is still not as good as naturally grown ingredients, so Lord Gokusen has this restriction. In the first realm of Gokusen's Immortal Art, you can only upgrade three ingredients. In the second realm, you can upgrade five ingredients. The higher the realm, the more ingredients you can upgrade in the future!"
The Tool Spirit slowly explained to Gu Zheng. This was indeed not its restriction. It was really a rule set by Gokusen in order to prevent his successor from relying too much on upgrading ingredients instead of finding more suitable ones.
It's just that when the Artifact Spirit said this, he felt a sense of pride in his voice.
"I know, forget it!"
Gu Zheng waved his hand weakly. The Tool Spirit would not lie to him, especially when it was related to Gokusen. Since it said so, then this was a restriction set by Gokusen.
It was understandable if he thought about it. If he was looking for a successor, he would not let his successor be so lazy and rely on immortal power to upgrade everything instead of doing it himself. This kind of restriction would indeed help his successor grow. Strictly speaking, Gokusen's intention was indeed good.
Understanding was understanding, but he did not want this to happen to him. Who asked Gu Zheng to be a lazy person?
Just as he was thinking, Gu Zheng's cell phone suddenly rang. Seeing the caller ID, Gu Zheng was slightly stunned, but then he picked up the phone.
"Master Gu, do you have time today? Can I ask you to help me first?"
The phone call was from Chang Le. Before leaving yesterday, they had exchanged contact information. Gu Zheng had promised to help Chang Le cook a few times a month. In principle, it should not be more than five times, but he did not expect Chang Le to find him today.
"I have time, tell me!"
Thinking that he really had nothing to do today, Gu Zheng simply nodded. It was just that his mood was not very good. He had received the reward, but it was a reward that could not be used.
"Can you make a few fried eggs? I'll take them. The old man here hasn't eaten anything these two days!"
Chang Le said quickly. Gu Zheng hesitated, then shook his head and said softly, "Fried eggs are not suitable to be taken away. If they are cold, it will greatly affect the taste. How about this, do you have a kitchen? Send someone to pick me up, and I'll bring the kitchen utensils to cook for you!"
Gu Zheng did not know where Chang Le was, but fried eggs were indeed not suitable for take-away. Gu Zheng was lazy, but it did not mean that he was very casual. He still had high requirements for the things he made. Otherwise, he would not choose high-level ingredients to cook now.
"That's great. Thank you so much. Are you at home now? I'll send a driver over right away!"
Chang Le was very happy when he heard that Gu Zheng was willing to go over. Gu Zheng did not care. After hanging up the phone, he simply counted how many fried eggs had been upgraded. If it was not enough, he would have time to enter the chaotic space to improve.
