"What do you want?" Seeing that Gu Zheng had really stopped, Butterfly Man asked.
"Are you sincere?" Gu Zheng asked.
Butterfly Man looked at Skinny Frog and the others beside him. They didn't show too much anger either.
Previously, Skinny Frog and the others didn't think as much as Butterfly Man. Now that things had come to this, as long as Gu Zheng didn't go overboard, they didn't want to fight anymore. After all, if they weren't careful, they might pay the price of death.
"Sincerely, but you can't go too far!" Butterfly Man stared at Gu Zheng.
"Let my people go, and the box in the ruins will belong to us."
Gu Zheng didn't demand an exorbitant price. The other party had already lost a lot of face by negotiating after the battle. He couldn't force them too much either. If a cornered dog was driven to desperation, it would be even more so for a group of Quasi-Sages.
Butterfly Man didn't immediately answer Gu Zheng. He communicated with Skinny Frog and the others and said, "Okay, but after we let your people go, don't play any tricks. The enmity between us will end here. If you dare to play any tricks, we will definitely keep you here forever even if we have to pay a heavy price! "
"Don't worry! Reconciliation is good for everyone, "Gu Zheng said.
Butterfly Man nodded and signaled Skinny Frog to let Angry Man and Butterfly Spirit go.
Skinny Frog reached out and touched the hourglass on his abdomen. After a flash of light, Butterfly Spirit and Angry Man suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
"Master!"
Butterfly Spirit and Angry Man cheered and immediately came behind Gu Zheng.
"Now that your people have been released, you can leave with your people!" Butterfly Man said.
"No hurry, we don't know each other until we fight. I want to make a deal with you. This is what I said before. Reconciliation is good for everyone," Gu Zheng said.
"Deal?"
Butterfly Man frowned. He thought Gu Zheng said that reconciliation was good for everyone, but they wouldn't fight anymore.
"I need some resources from your plane. I will also use resources from our plane to exchange with you," Gu Zheng said.
"It's naturally good to take what we need, but I don't know what you have that can move us, and what do we have that you need?" Butterfly Man was tempted.
"This is not the place to talk. Let's find a place to talk about this."
The butterfly man didn't reject Gu Zheng's proposal. The materials outside the circle were also quite attractive to them, so he found a place where only he and Gu Zheng began to discuss the exchange of resources.
As a higher plane, most of the resources that Butterfly Man could offer were very attractive to Gu Zheng. However, the resources that Gu Zheng could provide were only a few that could attract the butterfly man.
However, Gu Zheng was an Immortal Chef. Although the Butterfly Man and the others had reached the level where the energy increasing food cultivation was useless, some of their subordinates still needed it to increase their cultivation base. Moreover, although there were elixirs in this world, the food cultivation that Gu Zheng could cook was much more cost-effective than alchemy. This was consistent with the prehistoric era.
Therefore, in the next few days, Gu Zheng cooked dozens of food cultivation for Butterfly Man's subordinates in exchange for the resources on Butterfly Man's side. Although this was a world outside the circle, it wasn't difficult for Gu Zheng to use the ingredients of this world to cook food cultivation that was useful to the people of this world. However, because it was food cultivation for Butterfly Man's subordinates, even if Gu Zheng cooked a lot, he didn't get too many resources from Butterfly Man.
Gu Zheng was an Immortal Chef. Although cooking food cultivation didn't bring him too many resources, the delicacies that he cooked made Butterfly Man and the others cry out in satisfaction. They had never eaten such delicious food in their lives. They were willing to pay a higher price for this rare delicacy than cooking food cultivation.
After a few days of getting along, Gu Zheng, Butterfly Man, and the others were quite harmonious. Butterfly Man and the others were both envious and respectful of Gu Zheng's mastery of food cultivation. When Gu Zheng left their sect, he naturally made a lot of money.
Among the things he obtained from the butterfly man, the most important were ingredients from outside the Inner Circle. This accounted for a large proportion of the ingredients. The ingredients from outside the Inner Circle that were originally lost in the Poisonous Swamp were completely made up for. Gu Zheng was also confident that through cooking these ingredients, his Eye of Dao would definitely be able to improve to an expected level. As for the materials to repair the Star Ruins Mountain, Gu Zheng also obtained some, which should be able to restore the damage of the Star Ruins Mountain by another five percent.
The world outside the circle was really big. The places that Gu Zheng had been to only belonged to the 'Western Border'. In the future, when time permitted, Gu Zheng even thought of opening an Immortal Chef Shop in this world to exchange for the materials to repair the Star Ruins Mountain. After all, the sect that Butterfly Man belonged to was at most ranked fifth among the sects in the Western Border. If such a sect could provide five percent of the resources to repair the Star Ruins Mountain, what kind of foundation did the other sects have? This was something that was very much worth looking forward to.
Rescuing Die Ling and the Angry Man was the first time that Gu Zheng really came into contact with a higher plane than the Untainted Land. A sect that was only ranked fifth in a province had so many monsters whose strength was equivalent to the Sage-to-be Realm. This was something that was unimaginable in the Untainted Land.
With Gu Zheng's current strength, he was already one of the few experts below the Saint Immortal Realm in the Untainted Land. However, if he was in the world outside the circle, he still had to be careful. This also made him look forward to the agreement with Qixuan Fairy even more. He was looking forward to the extraordinary harvest after he obtained the control of the seventh sense.
After Gu Zheng returned to the Star Ruins Mountain, he stayed for two days and then set off for the Spirit Dance Palace. The time that he had agreed to with Qixuan Fairy had arrived.
They had not seen each other for half a year. When they met again, Gu Zheng prepared food for Qixuan Fairy and Fengming Fairy and cooked some delicious food. After everyone was full, Gu Zheng followed Qixuan Fairy to the back garden.
Gu Zheng did not see the Heavenly Dance Sage Immortal when he came to the Spirit Dance Palace this time. It had been half a year since they last met. The Heavenly Dance Sage Immortal had already left with the other Saint Immortals to maintain the Celestial Stars Formation.
Sitting face to face with Qixuan Fairy, their palms were joined together. Qixuan Fairy began to share the Seven Mysteries Power with Gu Zheng.
In the process of sharing the Seven Mysteries Power, Gu Zheng did not need to do anything. He only needed to see the changes brought to him by the Seven Mysteries Power.
The Seven Mysteries Power entered Gu Zheng's body from their joined palms. In his inner vision, Gu Zheng saw that the Seven Mysteries Power was a kind of pure energy that he had never seen before. After entering his body, he felt as if he was lying in a place against the wind in winter. It was so comfortable that he felt a little sleepy.
After the Seven Mysteries Power entered his body, it slowly circled around Gu Zheng's body. Then, like a bolt of lightning that broke through the void, Gu Zheng could not help but feel dazzled.
After his vision was restored, Gu Zheng had already entered the space where the seventh sense was. His seventh sense was looking at the Seven Mysteries Power in horror.
"Where did you get this energy!"
The seventh sense exclaimed at Gu Zheng. The Seven Mysteries Power shot directly between his eyebrows.
"Ugh!"
The seventh sense cried out in pain. Gu Zheng also felt a pain in his head. Then, he fell into a daze.
There was no particularly mysterious process. All Gu Zheng could feel was a sudden influx of information in his mind. Almost all of this information was related to the Dao.
Gu Zheng and Qixuan Fairy were immersed in their inner world. Surging energy of heaven and earth had already gathered in the back garden.
After gaining control of the seventh sense, one would definitely comprehend the Dao and receive the blessings of heaven and earth.
After a while, the energy of heaven and earth became denser. When specks of light fell from the sky, Gu Zheng, who had gained basic control of the seventh sense, stood up. Instantly, a group of figures appeared beside him. They were Die Ling, Meow Meow, the angry man, and his clone.
"Daoist Gu, why did you let them out?"
Qixuan Fairy's eyes widened. There was only one reason why Gu Zheng would let them out at this time. However, she did not dare to believe it.
"Because 'fortune and misfortune are interdependent'!"
Gu Zheng said the answer in Qixuan Fairy's heart.
Even though she had already thought of it, she was still shocked. Having a servant with 'fortune and misfortune are interdependent' was already a great opportunity. She did not expect Gu Zheng to have three other servants besides his clone.
Because of 'fortune and misfortune are interdependent', the energy of heaven and earth became even more turbulent. Gu Zheng, Die Ling, and the others hurriedly began to absorb it.
The amount of blessings of heaven and earth after gaining control of the seventh sense was not as great as the amount of blessings Gu Zheng received from the Immortal Slaying Thunder Tribulation. Even so, it was still not to be underestimated. Everyone enjoyed the feeling of the immortal power in their body growing wildly.
A moment later.
After the blessings of heaven and earth ended, Gu Zheng stood up and stretched his muscles. His whole person was in high spirits and he seemed a little different from before. However, no one could tell exactly what was different.
Gu Zheng's cultivation was originally at the seventh level and 60% of Gokusen's Technique. This time, the blessings of heaven and earth increased his cultivation to more than half of the seventh level and 70% of Gokusen's Technique. In terms of realm, he was already at the late stage of the quasi-sage realm.
Die Ling's realm was not too far away from the late stage of the Demon Emperor realm. This time, the blessings of heaven and earth allowed her to enter the late stage of the Demon Emperor realm.
The angry man's cultivation was also at the mid stage of the Demon Emperor realm. However, he was still a little far away from the late stage. This time, the blessings of heaven and earth only allowed him to close the gap.
Meow Meow's cultivation was originally at the early stage of the Demon Emperor realm. This time, the blessings of heaven and earth allowed her to enter the mid stage.
Ever since the avatar was refined, Gu Zheng had not brought it to cultivate. Originally, it was only at the early stage of the Qi Transformation Stage. However, this time, with the blessings of heaven and earth, it was promoted to the late stage of the Void Return Stage.
After unlocking the elementary control of the seventh sense, Gu Zheng felt a change in his perception of the entire world. Everything in his eyes had become a little different from before. This was an indescribable and mysterious understanding. The most direct benefit of this was that when fighting with others, Gu Zheng could mobilize the energy of heaven and earth faster. The power of various dao techniques would also increase! Although it was not particularly obvious, this was only the elementary control of the seventh sense after all.
In addition to the external changes, there were also internal changes. Gu Zheng also had a better understanding of himself. Before unlocking the elementary control of the seventh sense, Gu Zheng thought that his understanding of himself was close to the limit. However, after unlocking the elementary control of the seventh sense, Gu Zheng felt that his understanding of himself had reached a new level! His understanding of himself included not only the physical body but also the Yin-Yang Immortal Ball and the Five Elements Immortal Ball. This understanding also represented future development and utilization.
The elementary control of the seventh sense was a lifetime of enlightenment. After all, the person who unlocked the elementary control of the seventh sense would also master a part of the enlightenment of the seventh sense. Moreover, the person who unlocked the elementary control of the seventh sense would definitely comprehend more than one type of Great Dao. However, what type of Great Dao they would comprehend would vary from person to person.
Gu Zheng had basically comprehended all of the so-called Great Dao. Therefore, he had a great advantage in this aspect.
The seventh sense was like a treasure. Unlocking the elementary control of the seventh sense was like opening a room in the treasure. The person who unlocked the room would also have all the Great Dao in the room. If the person who unlocked the room had already grasped the Great Dao in the room, then the benefit of unlocking the room would be that the Great Dao that the person had already grasped would advance. In the room that Gu Zheng had unlocked, there were a total of two types of Great Dao. They were the 'True Fire Dao' and the 'True Water Dao'. Gu Zheng's control of these two Great Daos had advanced to the advanced level.
In addition to the Great Dao, Gu Zheng had also comprehended some minor Daos after unlocking the elementary control of the seventh sense. For example, the Illusion Dao and the Dream Dao. Unfortunately, Gu Zheng had not comprehended these minor Daos before. Therefore, his current control of these minor Daos was only at the elementary level. They were not very useful.
After unlocking the elementary control of the seventh sense, Gu Zheng needed to meditate for a period of time to integrate the things that he had comprehended. Therefore, he did not stay in the Spiritual Dance Palace for long and returned to the Star Ruins Mountain with Die Ling and the others.
Two months later.
Gu Zheng had digested all the things that he had comprehended after unlocking the elementary control of the seventh sense. He was ready to leave seclusion and entered the space where the seventh sense was.
The last time he saw the seventh sense was in the Spiritual Dance Palace. At that time, the seventh sense was still a teenager. Now, his appearance had changed a little and he looked like he was eighteen or nineteen years old.
When he saw Gu Zheng enter, the seventh sense only glanced at him and then closed his eyes again.
"Are you alright?"
Gu Zheng asked. He felt that the seventh sense's temperament had changed a lot in addition to its appearance. It was no longer as hostile towards him as before.
"I'm fine."
The seventh sense was very calm. His reaction left Gu Zheng speechless for a moment.
"What do you think of this matter?"
Gu Zheng felt that the seventh sense was not as hostile towards him as before. However, he still wanted to see the specific situation.
"I feel that you're very proud of yourself!"
The seventh sense opened his eyes again and looked at Gu Zheng with interest.
Gu Zheng shook his head and said, "I can't say that I'm proud of myself. You're my seventh sense. It's only natural that I gain control of you."
"Another batch of seeds of evil karma has matured. Since you're so proud, I'll let you bear the evil karma when the time is right!"
The seventh sense was still as calm as ever. He flicked his finger in a lukewarm manner.
Gu Zheng frowned. The last time the seventh sense released the seeds of evil karma, it made him hate the Buddhists. He did not know what it would be this time. However, releasing evil karma was also the seventh sense's job. He seemed to show it in this form of revenge, but in fact, it was just to make himself feel a little better.
"That's all you've got. Sooner or later, I'll completely control the seventh sense. When that time comes, you'll cease to exist."
Gu Zheng smiled coldly. He did not say anything else and began to explore the seventh sense.
The main purpose of Gu Zheng's visit to the seventh sense this time was to try and see if he could improve his control of it again. After all, he now had the Elementary Control of the Seventh Sense. According to the Glutton Immortal, after he had obtained the Elementary Control of the Seventh Sense, through probing and experimenting, he had slowly obtained the Intermediate Control.
If it had been before, it would have been impossible for Gu Zheng to explore the seventh sense. The seventh sense would have bounced off his probing power. But now, he could not resist Gu Zheng's exploration of the seventh sense at all. This also meant that in the future, Gu Zheng could study him as long as he wanted.
"Damn it!"
Although Gu Zheng's exploration and research did not find anything, when the energy of his exploration of the seventh sense left the seventh sense, the originally cold seventh sense finally showed a little anger.
"See you later!"
Seeing the seventh sense suffer, Gu Zheng felt a little better. After saying this, he left the space where the seventh sense was.
Now that he had enough ingredients from outside the circle, what Gu Zheng needed to do next was to raise the level of his Eye of Dao. Once he raised the level of his Eye of Dao, he would cook the Cloud Cinnabar Fruit that he had obtained from the Cloud of Death. Gu Zheng had a hunch that once he raised the level of his Eye of Dao and cooked the Cloud Cinnabar Fruit, he would very likely be able to comprehend the Dao from the traces of Dao on it.
In the following period of time, Gu Zheng cooked ingredients from outside the circle every day. He used these ingredients to make all kinds of delicacies. Die Ling and the others naturally ate to their heart's content.
One month later.
Gu Zheng, who was cooking, suddenly had a strange feeling in his mind. Following that, his eyes lit up. Some of the substances in the food that were originally undetectable by the Eye of Dao became clear in his eyes.
Gu Zheng laughed. Although he knew that his Eye of Dao would reach a higher level in the next few days, when the moment really arrived, he still could not help but feel happy. At this moment, his Eye of Dao was on par with Gokusen's.
If food was compared to an egg, ordinary Immortal Chefs only looked at its appearance. Super Immortal Chefs who comprehended the Eye of Dao could see the egg white. When the Eye of Dao reached a higher level, it could see the egg yolk.
When the Eye of Dao reached a higher level, its understanding of food would naturally increase. The food that could be cooked with the same ingredients would naturally be more delicious. In addition, according to Gokusen, a higher level of the Eye of Dao would have a certain effect on cooking immortal grade food! Once he cooked an immortal grade food, in terms of realm, Gu Zheng would have broken away from the 'one begets two' and entered the 'two begets three' realm like Gokusen.
After resting for two days, Gu Zheng, who felt that he was in peak condition, began to cook the Cloud Cinnabar Fruit.
