The cardamom that Gu Zheng was using was extracted from the original cardamom in the kitchen. However, this cardamom was something that could be seen by the Eye of Dao. It was slightly different from the cardamom that Gu Zheng had used on the fish eye. Naturally, the effect would be different as well.
The meat of the Azure Flower Immortal Fish was tender and tender. There were two parts of its body that were the most delicious. One was the fish eye, which would not condense into pearls no matter how much it was cooked. The other part was under the seventh scale on the second row of its back, which was the size of a longan. The main reason why these two parts were delicious was because they contained a mysterious substance that could only be sensed by the Heart of Dao.
Gu Zheng used the first cardamom to stimulate the substance that could only be sensed by the Heart of Dao in the fish eye. Thus, the texture and aroma of the fish meat were enhanced. The second time, he used the cardamom he had extracted and placed it under the fish spine. His goal was to enhance the taste of the entire dish!
"This …"
"This change … Could it be?"
"'Fleeting Youth'! That's right! This is really 'Fleeting Youth'!"
As super Immortal Chefs who had opened the Eye of Dao, the chefs behind Gu Zheng had all heard or seen the mysterious' Fleeting Youth 'in the Dao of Food and Drink. However, they did not expect that an ordinary 'Cardamom Fried Fish' would be able to produce the mysterious' Fleeting Youth '. Moreover, the secret was hidden in the cardamom that they had made!
Other than shock, the Immortal Chefs and Xuan Yue also felt regret. Although they were super Immortal Chefs, they had not opened the Heart of Dao. They were unable to see the entire process before the 'Fleeting Youth' was born. They could only see Gu Zheng's swift movements and the transformation of the dish after the 'Fleeting Youth'.
"After using the second cardamom, I used some of my fire and water control techniques. Senior Sister, you should have sensed it, right?" Gu Zheng asked.
"I sensed it!"
Xuan Yue nodded her head and gave Gu Zheng a big thumbs up. Similarly, she did not expect that an ordinary fried fish with cardamom would have such a special effect. Now that Gu Zheng had personally demonstrated the recipe of this dish to her, she had seen everything that she needed to see. In the future, she would be able to replicate the effect of 'Fleeting Youth' with the same dish. However, a copy was still a copy in the end. Moreover, under the miraculous variable of the 'Fleeting Youth', a copy might not be 100% successful. However, what was more valuable was that she had another way to come into contact with the 'Fleeting Youth', and the possibility of opening her Dao Heart had increased a little.
The 'Fragrant Fried Fish' was already out of the pot and on the plate. It was extremely fragrant and transformed into a few fragrant fruits, dancing around the two golden fried fish. The wonderful fragrance in the air wantonly stimulated everyone's sense of smell and tempted their appetite.
"Gulp!"
"Gulp!"
The sound of saliva being swallowed could be heard continuously. Facing the 'Fragrant Fried Fish' that displayed a very high level of culinary skills, even Xuan Yue, who was at the middle stage of the Quasi-Sage Stage, could not help but swallow her saliva.
"Junior Brother, I'm starting to regret it." Xuan Yue mumbled.
"What do you regret?" Gu Zheng asked with a smile, even though he already knew the answer.
"Don't you know what I regret?"
Xuan Yue put on a fierce face and waved her fist, as if she wanted Gu Zheng to be tactful.
"Haha!"
Gu Zheng laughed. Before he decided to cook the 'Fragrant Fried Fish', he had already asked Xuan Yue if she wanted to cook another one for her to try. At that time, Xuan Yue did not expect that Gu Zheng's' Fragrant Fried Fish 'would trigger' Fleeting Youth '. Since she did not want Gu Zheng to work too hard, she naturally did not accept his suggestion.
Since Xuan Yue wanted to eat it, Gu Zheng was naturally very happy. Even though he already knew the answer, he was only joking around. Xuan Yue quickly sat down and looked at the 'Fragrant Fried Fish' in front of her. She took a deep breath and was extremely intoxicated.
"Fragrant, it's really too fragrant. It's so tempting!"
Xuan Yue's intoxication greatly stimulated the Immortal Chefs behind her, causing them to swallow their saliva.
"Why are you all standing there? Don't you see that we still have to deal with an Azure Flower Immortal Fish? "Xuan Yue reprimanded.
"Why are you all standing there? Don't you see that we still have to deal with an Azure Flower Immortal Fish? "
The chefs who were reprimanded by Xuan Yue immediately reprimanded the ordinary Immortal Chefs who were watching.
"Lord Commander, can you really finish this five kilogram Azure Flower Immortal Fish by yourself?"
"If Commander can't finish it, we're willing to take care of the rest!"
"Commander, you must leave some for us!"
The chefs said one after another, and their faces were filled with flattery.
"That's enough. Let me try it first. All of you are so chatty!"
Xuan Yue impatiently said. She picked up her chopsticks and started to taste the 'Fragrant Fried Fish'.
After Xuan Yue picked up the steaming, yellowish fish skin, which had some blue and white flower patterns on it, the rich fragrance that was originally sealed within the fish meat instantly spread out, teasing everyone's sense of smell.
The unique texture of the fish skin, together with the crispness of the yellowish fish skin, was released in Xuan Yue's mouth.
"Delicious! After the 'Fleeting Youth' sublimated the food, the fish skin no longer feels like fish skin. I've eaten countless Azure Flower Immortal Fish in my life, but I've never tasted such a rich and fragrant texture. "
After a simple and intoxicating review, Xuan Yue picked up the fish meat with her chopsticks.
When the white and tender fish meat entered her mouth, Xuan Yue's expression became even more intoxicated. Different from before, an enticing fragrance began to spread in the air as she chewed on the fish meat.
After eating a few mouthfuls of fish meat, Xuan Yue opened her mouth and said, "Fragrant, smooth, and tender. The taste and texture of the Azure Flower Immortal Fish Meat have improved to such an extent. This is not inferior to the taste of the high-grade Azure Flower Arowana, which is also a type of Azure Flower Fish!"
Xuan Yue praised Gu Zheng very highly for being able to make a mid-grade ingredient taste as good as a high-grade ingredient.
"Alright, the rest of the 'Fragrant Fried Fish' is yours!"
Although she had only eaten a few mouthfuls and was not satisfied, Xuan Yue still restrained her appetite. No matter what, she was still an Immortal Chef. She still had to maintain her composure. Moreover, Gu Zheng was her junior brother. Whenever she wanted to eat, she just had to say it.
Time passed, and the fragrance filled the air. Out of the sixteen dishes to be cooked today, Gu Zheng had already finished fifteen of them. In these dishes, Gu Zheng tried his best to let Xuan Yue and the others learn as much as possible.
Finally, it was time to cook the last dish. It was a vegetarian dish, which was the one that Anilu had ordered.
The main ingredient of the dish that Anilu had ordered was provided by him. As for the other supplementary ingredients, they were all available in the kitchen.
The ingredient that Anilu had provided came from the outside world. It looked like a white radish with green leaves and white roots. It was Gu Zheng's first time seeing it.
After receiving the ingredient from Anilu, Gu Zheng put it into the Chaos Space. But now, after Gu Zheng took out the ingredients that Anilu gave him from the Chaos Space, his expression changed slightly.
"Junior Brother, what's wrong?"
Xuan Yue was also a smart person. When she saw Gu Zheng's expression change, she immediately transmitted her voice to ask.
"This Anilu is really courting death. He actually wanted to trick me with the ingredient!"
Gu Zheng paused for a moment, then told Xuan Yue the reason.
When Gu Zheng first received the ingredient from Anilu, there was no problem with this high-grade ingredient. However, as time passed, some special substances were produced in it. This substance belonged to the category of the Heart of Dao. Because it was the first time he saw it, Gu Zheng didn't know its specific function. However, based on the premise that both sides had become enemies, Anilu had provided such an ingredient for Gu Zheng to cook. Therefore, the first thing that Gu Zheng thought of was poison! The unknown substance produced an unknown poison, and the unknown poison existed in the body. When the time came, it would be activated by unknown means!
"Unbelievable. Anilu is so stupid. He actually wanted to use poison to poison an Immortal Chef whose realm has reached the 'Two Births Three' realm!" Xuan Yue said.
"No, Anilu is not stupid. It's just that he made a mistake. If my Heart of Dao is only at the most basic level, then I really can't see the problem with this ingredient!" Gu Zheng said.
"Primary Heart of Dao? What's going on? "
Xuan Yue's confusion wasn't strange. Because even Gokusen's Heart of Dao was only at the primary level. Before Gu Zheng went to the Poisonous Swamp, when he brewed the immortal wine 'Star Ruins Drink', his Heart of Dao was coincidentally upgraded. After that, even Gokusen sighed with emotion! After all, Gokusen's Heart of Dao was still the same as when he first opened it. He had never encountered a situation like Gu Zheng's.
After listening to Gu Zheng's explanation, Xuan Yue asked, "Since you know that Anilu has ulterior motives, what is junior brother going to do?"
"Whoever wants to eat can eat. Let's not eat this dish," Gu Zheng said.
After the last dish was out of the pot, the banquet soon began. Some small talk was inevitable. After that, everyone began to eat heartily.
As for Gu Zheng's cooking, everyone was naturally full of praise. The atmosphere of laughter in the hall was really good.
"Everyone, come and have a taste. What do you think of the material this poor monk ordered?"
After all, the dish was ordered by Anilu. Before he opened his mouth, no one else touched the material he ordered.
"Since the great master has invited us, then we won't be polite."
Xuan Yang Fairy was the first to speak and was the first to taste it.
"The taste is really good. It's incomparably fragrant!" Xuan Yang Fairy said with intoxication.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, don't you want to taste it?" Anilu asked Gu Zheng.
"No need to taste it. I naturally know the taste of the dishes I cooked. Let's leave it for everyone to eat!" Gu Zheng smiled.
"What about Xuan Yue? Don't you want to taste it? How does your junior brother's cooking compare to yours? "Anilu asked Xuan Yue again.
"I've already tasted it in the kitchen," Xuan Yue said.
"Xuan Yue actually tried it first. That's too mean!" Venerable Blood Shadow said.
"Anyway, it didn't ruin the image of the dish. It's normal for an immortal chef to taste it first. Hurry up and eat. If not, there won't be any left!"
Xuan Yue rolled her eyes at Venerable Blood Shadow. While they were talking, Anilu's material was almost finished because it was too delicious.
"Xuan Yue, have you forgotten? I've never eaten food cooked with ingredients outside the circle. "Venerable Blood Shadow smiled.
"Indeed, I've forgotten about this matter." Xuan Yue suddenly understood.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes.
"Today, Junior Brother Gu killed the giant demon, reducing the number of monsters that escaped into the Fallen Ice Snowfield by one. However, the strength of the giant demon should make us vigilant. The monsters that escaped into the Fallen Ice Snowfield are not to be underestimated! Tomorrow, we still need someone to lead a team to patrol the Fallen Ice Snowfield. I'll decide on the leader now, "Perfected Taiyi said.
"The people who will patrol the Fallen Ice Snowfield will be divided into two groups."
Perfected Taiyi paused and looked at Gu Zheng. "Junior Brother Gu wants to contribute to the Immortal Camp. Tomorrow, you will also patrol the Fallen Ice Snowfield, right?"
"Senior Brother, can I be in the same group as Junior Brother tomorrow?" Xuan Yue asked.
Perfected Taiyi shook his head. "Xuan Yue, you stay in the Immortal Camp. There's something I need you to do tomorrow."
"What is it?" Xuan Yue asked.
"You're Hanyue's junior sister. Hanyue and the others have been in the black hole for some time. Although there's nothing wrong with their life jade talismans, they haven't returned yet. I'm still worried! Tomorrow, I want to bring you along to cast a spell and see how Hanyue and the others are faring. "Perfected Taiyi said.
Xuan Yue understood. Since Perfected Taiyi had said so, she couldn't insist. Thus, she said, "Senior Brother, let me be in the same group as Junior Brother Gu tomorrow!"
"Junior Sister, you've just patrolled the snowfield. Don't you want to stay in the Immortal Camp to rest?" Perfected Taiyi asked.
"Although we were ambushed by the giant demon, it didn't affect us much. Senior Brother, let me go with Junior Brother!" Xuan Yue said.
"Okay, the two of you will be in the same group tomorrow."
Perfected Taiyi paused and looked at Anilu. "The second group will be led by Grandmaster and Xuan Yang. How about it?"
"Perfected Taiyi, please arrange whatever you want me to do."
"No problem."
Anilu and Xuan Yang Yue agreed.
After the banquet, Xuan Yang Yue and Anilu found Venerable Blood Shadow.
"Blood Shadow, Gu Zheng and Xuan Yue are going to the Snowfield of Meteoric Ice tomorrow. Have you made up your mind?" Anilu smiled.
Venerable Blood Shadow bit his lips and said, "I don't want to be enemies with Gu Zheng anymore."
"Why?" Xuan Yang Yue's expression changed.
"You can say that I'm afraid of death. Anything will do. I just don't want to be enemies with him."
After careful consideration, Venerable Blood Shadow felt that it was better to give up on Gu Zheng.
"Killing Gu Zheng will allow you to take your revenge and not leave a flaw in your mental state. However, if you don't kill Gu Zheng with us, do you think Gu Zheng will let you go? "Anilu said seriously.
"Revenge breeds revenge. When will there ever be an end to it? Even if I annihilate Gu Zheng, will I be able to lead a good life? As for leaving a flaw in my state of mind, hehe, at our level of cultivation, why would I care about that? It's not like I can become a Saint without a flaw! As for whether I'll let him go or not, I'd rather believe that Gu Zheng won't take the initiative to kill Gu Zheng. I don't believe that we can kill him together! "Venerable Blood Shadow said seriously.
"Gu Zheng is indeed powerful, but the three of us aren't bad either. What's more, the dish I cooked today …"
"Don't talk about that dish of yours! You actually want to trick him in the way of food and drink? I really don't know what to say! Didn't you see that Gu Zheng didn't even touch your dish? As for Huan Yin, who wants to travel with Gu Zheng, she didn't touch it either! "
It was because of this that Venerable Blood Shadow felt that Anilu was a lousy teammate. It had a huge impact on his decision to give up.
"Give up. No matter what you say, I won't participate anymore!" Venerable Blood Shadow said again.
"Blood Shadow, are you playing with us?" Xuanyang Fairy's eyes turned cold.
"What do you mean by playing with you? I told you that I need to think about it! "Venerable Blood Shadow sneered.
"You …"
Xuanyang Fairy wanted to say something but was stopped by Anilu.
"Alright. Since you don't want to participate, then don't. However, you won't stab us in the back, right? "Anilu narrowed his eyes.
"I won't!"
Venerable Blood Shadow answered firmly, but his heart skipped a beat.
"Alright, let's go!"
Anilu left with Xuanyang Fairy, who was unwilling to give up. Venerable Blood Shadow's brows were tightly knitted together.
Regarding the matter of killing Gu Zheng, Venerable Blood Shadow was truly terrified. However, if Anilu had not mentioned backstabbing, he would not have thought about it.
"Without my participation, Ah Ni Lu and Xuan Yang will probably die. With such an outcome, will Gu Zheng really let me go just because I didn't participate?"
"Since Anilu and Xuanyang are going to die, I'd better tell Gu Zheng about it!"
Without hesitating for long, Venerable Blood Shadow sent a message to Gu Zheng through Divine Thought.
"Damn it!"
Anilu, who had not flown back to his residence, suddenly sent a message to Xuanyang Fairy.
"What's wrong?" Xuanyang Fairy asked.
"Blood Shadow thinks that we can't find out. He actually sent a message to Gu Zheng!" Anilu said angrily.
Xuanyang Fairy frowned. She did not notice that Blood Shadow had sent a message to Gu Zheng.
"Do you know what the message was about?" Xuanyang Fairy asked.
"I only know that he sent a message to Gu Zheng. I don't know what the message was about, but I can guess what it was about!" Anilu said.
"Bastard!" Xuanyang Fairy turned around.
"What are you doing? No matter what, this is an Immortal Camp. Let's settle this matter with Gu Zheng first. Now is not the time to fall out with Blood Shadow! Moreover, even if Blood Shadow sent a message, there is nothing valuable. Even if he did not send a message, Gu Zheng most likely already knows that we want to deal with him! "Anilu said.
"What do we do now?" Xuanyang Fairy asked.
"The plan remains the same. Tomorrow, we will fight in the Fallen Ice Snowfield!" Anilu sneered.
"Junior Brother, what happened just now?"
She was very curious when she saw that Gu Zheng had relaxed his frown and did not hear Venerable Blood Shadow's message.
"Venerable Blood Shadow sent me a message just now. He told me that Anilu and Xuanyang will attack me in the Fallen Ice Snowfield tomorrow!" Gu Zheng laughed.
