Half a month later, a large group of them had arrived at the outskirts of Haicheng.
When Yi Le saw that Gu Zheng was still on the carriage and showed no signs of wanting to come out, he could only arrange for a few of them to stop here and wait for them to settle down before coming over to take a look.
Yi Le had no choice but to lead the others in together. The group of about 300 people was quite eye-catching. It was more like a family migrating. However, there were many war-torn families migrating here, so it was not too out of the ordinary.
What's more, Yi Le led the way and showed off his fifth-level strength, letting people see that this family's strength is pretty good.
Half a month later, a mouthful of black blood spurted out from Gu Zheng's mouth again. A foul smell appeared in the air, and his breath became a little sluggish.
Gu Zheng slowly opened his eyes, and a flash of fear flashed through his eyes. He really underestimated this seal. He had just touched the outside and was discovered immediately.
As a result, a wisp of black energy invaded his heart along his spiritual consciousness, and it took him nearly a month to force out this little bit of black energy.
You must know that you are in the damaged part of the seal. If you are in front of the complete seal, wouldn't it be more powerful? This is just the outside, then the inside will be even more terrifying.
No wonder Mr. Xiong repeatedly mentioned in the message not to try to crack it. Only by gathering the Five Elements materials and relying on their endless ability of the Five Elements can we completely suppress the opponent, and then let ourselves rely on the recovered strength to resolve it bit by bit.
This is his best method at the moment. The other is to find someone of Daluo level and spend a long time to eliminate him bit by bit. Gu Zheng ruled it out as soon as he thought of it. He decided to take a look before talking about it.
Gu Zheng waved his hand, and a stream of water appeared in the carriage, dispersing the odor in the air, and then turned into a water curtain and stayed in the air, like a mirror.
Gu Zheng carefully looked at the marks on his forehead, and could hardly see any marks, but Gu Zheng still knew that among the five points of light inside, one had disappeared, and the other four points were also dim.
The culprit was a small hole in the middle. Although this small hole was only as thick as a hair at most, it still caused the seal to have a slight crack and was unable to function perfectly, allowing Gu Zheng to regain a level of strength.
Calculated based on his peak level of Golden Immortal, he is almost at the level of a late Heavenly Immortal.
Gu Zheng felt the demon grass in his body. It was still absorbing it from his body. Although it cost a lot in the first stage, Gu Zheng still felt that it had been completed at least 70%. When it matures, it will be his own.
Completely stabilize your own cultivation.
Just like a foundation, the more stable and solid it is, the higher you can build on it and the farther you can go.
Just like he could see the problem with Yi Le at a glance, his strength soared very quickly, but if there was no great opportunity, he would be like that until his death.
Which of those great powers has not taken hundreds of thousands or millions of years to polish little by little? I really think that relying on unparalleled qualifications, or innate bodies, some innate spiritual beings, everyone has the ability to practice hard.
day.
Even before Gu Zheng, he had to retreat from time to time in order to stabilize his inner state.
For example, Gu Zheng knows that in fact, people like them will basically not take some miraculous medicines. Even if they must take them, it will take tens of thousands of years to completely consume some of the medicine's power, otherwise it will block you in the next critical moment.
But many people drink poison to quench their thirst, never thinking that in the future, just like at the beginning of the ancient struggle, without strong cultivation, how can they protect themselves, and whether they will have enough lifespan to accomplish something.
So knowing that it is poison, I can only look forward to slowly adjusting it in the future.
The greatest insight from the ancient struggle and rebuilding the two lives, everyone knows the truth, but if you don’t experience that kind of bottle top, it’s really just talk.
Gu Zheng already felt that there were only a few people around him, and it seemed that he had spent a long time. He didn't know how long it had passed.
Gu Zheng opened the door curtain and walked down, and heard the little crab standing on the carriage wheel saying to him:
"Sir, come out."
"Mr. Gu, you are coming out. Miss Yi asked us to wait for you here." Several people with extraordinary temperament and dressed like servants said quickly when they saw Gu Zheng coming out.
At this time, they were in a forest far away from Haicheng. Because a lonely carriage was really conspicuous, Little Crab agreed with their opinion and moved the carriage here.
Stretching, Gu Zheng could clearly feel a fishy smell belonging to the sea mixed in the moist breeze, which showed that it seemed that this place was not very far from the East China Sea.
"Let's go, little crab, will you turn into a human form?" Gu Zheng decided to go to the city and have a look first.
"Sir, I don't know how." Little Crab answered truthfully. Although monsters like them can transform into human nature at any time as long as they turn on their spiritual intelligence. The higher their strength, the more perfect they will be. However, it will be more difficult when they overcome the heavenly tribulation.
.
"Oh, I didn't expect you to have lofty ambitions." Gu Zheng glanced at him in surprise. Compared with the benefits brought by being able to transform, the difficulty is much better than this.
"Okay then, you can get into my sleeve and hide it in there if nothing happens." Gu Zheng thought for a moment and said, he didn't know how to deal with it yet, just don't let it leave his sight.
The little crab's figure shrank again, only as big as the palm of his hand, and he got directly into Gu Zheng's sleeves and hid it.
As the royal capital, Haicheng covers a very vast area. The city wall that is nearly a hundred feet high can make the enemy despair. It was not built by human power at all. It is said that it was built by a powerful immortal in ancient times.
A city gate is more than a dozen long, and there are four gates under each city wall, handling a huge flow of people.
The people standing below are like ants. There is no city gate here at all. The seemingly dilapidated city wall has a hidden spiritual energy hidden in it. Even after tens of thousands of years, it can still exert unusual power.
The area of Haicheng is several times larger than the capital of Anhua Kingdom. The population here is millions. Countless merchants come in and out every day. It can be said that it is extremely prosperous. It is like a city on top of a country.
Gu Zheng and the others followed the huge flow of people and finally walked in through the extremely huge passage.
As soon as you enter, the wide road disperses the crowd, but like this, you are surrounded by dense crowds. This is a troubled area, but less than half of the entire royal capital is surrounded by the downtown area.
The shops along the street are densely packed, one after another, and many merchants who are unloading goods are constantly talking to the shopkeepers or owners. It is said that there is also a big market, and many surrounding villages go there to sell.
The most conspicuous thing in the middle is a huge tower hundreds of feet high, standing in the sky. No one knows its specific purpose. Everyone speculates that it should be to activate the formations on the city wall.
This statement is believed by most people. Under the giant tower, there is a very large palace. Outside is where all the important ministers live. There is also a small walled city outside. It can be said that all the people in the inner city are
A dignified person.
There is a large spirit gathering array specially built inside. Although the concentration is very low, it gradually improves everyone's physique in a subtle way. It can be said that everyone is envious.
Then the outer city is located, which can generally be said to be a commercial area, mixed with some civilian residences. This is also the place with the most people.
The other half is made up of wealthy residents, which are much cleaner than here. They all have various large courtyards, and Yi Le and the others live there now.
These are the people arranged by Yi Le to tell him. While listening, he walked forward and took an obviously unusually wide intersection.
"The new store is opening, and we specially invited a top chef Yao Qianqian. Friends passing by, please don't give up this good opportunity. If you go in now, you can also get a plate of exquisite side dishes as a gift." At a wide intersection, a loud voice said
The voice came from the side and attracted the attention of many people.
Although it was not noon at this time, it was still close. After hearing the call for her, many people's eyes lit up and they walked in directly.
Gu Zheng looked at this restaurant curiously. It was six stories high. It was a newly opened restaurant. There were brand new red lanterns hanging next to it. Many waiters were shouting at the door. The fragrant smell kept coming from the air.
came from inside the restaurant.
It also attracted the greed of many people, and even Gu Zheng could hear the sounds of people swallowing uncontrollably around him, and only heard some people talking around him.
"Wow, I never thought this restaurant was so powerful that it could invite Yao Qianqian here."
"Yes, it is said that any of his consumables can last you a thousand years. This talent is nicknamed Yao Qianyan. How about we go and try it together."
"Forget it, if you don't pay a big price, how can you possibly eat the dishes he cooks himself? I heard that he only cooks twenty tables of dishes every day when he opens, and the price is very high. I really need to make a reservation later, for ordinary dishes
Other chefs will do the rest.”
"Yes, but it smells the same. If you can't afford Yao Qianqian's food, why can't you eat other people's food? I'm hungry now. I'm treating you today. Let's go."
Gu Zheng felt pretty good, and his roundworms were also protesting a bit, so he just wanted to try the dishes of Master Yao, who claimed to be a thousand years old, to see how outstanding they were.
Ignoring the people behind him, he walked straight towards the restaurant. They looked at each other, one of them quickly ran forward, and the other two followed behind with a wry smile.
Because they were ordered to pick up the follower back, they brought some money with them, but it seemed that it was not enough. The man went back directly to get the money. How could the immortal be left out in the cold?
Under the gleaming golden plaque, a waiter was patrolling the door, looking for the next customer. The shopkeeper said that whoever performs well today will be rewarded with money. Everyone is very motivated.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up. A young master with extraordinary talent was walking towards him. Especially, he was followed by two followers who looked like they had been on the battlefield. He looked like the boss at first glance.
He quickly bent down, with a smile on his face, and said hello.
"Sir, would you like to eat something?"
"Let's take what you call Yao Qianqian's specialty dish." Gu Zheng responded casually. At this time, the meal order had not yet been ordered, but the hall on the first floor was already half full, and they started eating enthusiastically.
"Okay, sir, what a coincidence. We still have the last table of dishes. Please go up to the fifth floor, which has the best seats." The fifth floor is specially prepared for some wealthy owners.
"But to be honest, you have to wait for a while. Chef Yao can't distract himself for a while, so he can only do it in order. Please understand." The waiter just finished speaking and then said something awkward.
"No problem, I can wait." Gu Zheng is not in a hurry. He must know that the more delicious the food, the longer it takes to cook it. He is a connoisseur among connoisseurs, so of course he understands this.
Moreover, among the twenty dishes, Gu Zheng felt that the other party would definitely have flaws and would definitely leave some simple skills to others. A real dish must be perfectly mastered from the very beginning.
"Brother, can you give up for a while?" Just when Gu Zheng was about to go up with the waiter, a gentle voice came from behind.
Gu Zheng turned his head and saw a handsome young man standing behind him, looking at him slightly apologetically.
I saw him cupping his hands and saying again, "I'm sorry, I also know that this is forcing someone to do something difficult. I don't know if you want to give up my love. I will compensate you ten times and be responsible for all the expenses this time."
"No need, you can come early next time." Gu Zheng did not give in because of the friendly tone of the other party, maybe he would only come this time.
"Why are you..." At this time, a girl next to him was unwilling. Just as he was about to say something, the young man next to him covered his mouth and made a whimpering sound.
"Sorry, my sister is not sensible, please forgive me." Mr. Pianpian said apologetically.
Gu Zheng ignored it and walked up the stairs under the guidance of a professional.
"Cousin, why are you so easy to talk to? Even if this is Mr. Qin's place, he will not sell you face." The little girl next to him said dissatisfied.
"Forget it, don't get into trouble. You haven't had much time since you came here. I don't know how many people are hiding here in this city. It's better to be careful. I will personally explain it to you tomorrow. Don't worry.
Okay." Young Master Pianpian said, looking at Gu Zheng's back thoughtfully.
Perhaps after listening to her cousin's words, she didn't say anything, but just muttered, "Cousin Liu Qi, you can't cheat."
The two of them left the hotel and walked towards the distance. They also came for Yao Qianqian's name. Since they arrived a step too late, they will wait until next time.
When Gu Zheng climbed up to the fifth floor, he found that half of the people were already seated. Most of the people's tables were still empty. They seemed to be waiting. Gu Zheng was arranged in a seat near the back, which was quiet when he arrived.
As time went by, other diners gradually came to this floor. Each of them seemed to be a wealthy person, but they could only order exquisite side dishes to keep others greedy.
Dishes were placed on the table one after another. After two more tables, it was almost his turn. The air was filled with a mouth-watering aroma. Those people ordered some other exquisite dishes and could only swallow dryly.
, the delicious food in front of me usually seems to be okay, but now I find that it is a bit tasteless.
It's a pity that they can only watch others enjoy the food. Not to mention regretting coming here, a few people even left the table angrily.
Gu Zheng was sipping some wine and eating some of the dishes served earlier. Although the taste was mediocre, Gu Zheng felt very comfortable.
Not long after waiting, all the dishes in front of him were removed, and the steaming delicious dishes were served one after another. When all the dishes were served, Gu Zheng started to eat the one in front of him.
There are a total of six meat dishes, two ingredients, and two plates of unknown fruits. Each dish looks delicious and delicious.
Gu Zheng nodded with satisfaction. This chef must have a lot of skills, otherwise he would not be able to handle the ingredients so delicately. In terms of taste, apart from himself, this should be the most delicious dish he has ever tasted.
The name Yao Qianqian is indeed not unfounded. Every dish in Guzheng is just a quick taste. Just learn a little about it and satisfy your taste buds.
It's a pity that even if the taste is good, it's just an earthly delicacy. For him, it has no reference value at all, and Gu Zheng can feel some flaws in it.
Just when Gu Zheng was about to eat the third dish, suddenly a little head popped out from the side and looked at him eagerly.
Gu Zheng noticed that a cute and beautiful girl suddenly appeared next to him, but he really didn't notice why she appeared here.
When she saw that Gu Zheng had discovered her, her face turned a little blushing and her head tilted slightly to the side, but her eyes were still looking at him longingly.
"Where's the little girl? Go, go, go, don't make trouble. Adults don't care about anyone else's child." Before Gu Zheng said anything, the entourage behind him stopped and wanted to take this little girl away.
Drive away.
"Forget it, I can't finish it by myself anyway." Gu Zheng stopped the entourage behind him. The little girl looked at the table frequently, her small and exquisite nose also wrinkled slightly, smelling the fragrance so close, it was obviously...
I was attracted by this dish.
This little girl is about seven or eight years old. She has a pale pink blouse embroidered with a plum blossom. Her long black hair is bent into two pigtails. Her lively eyes are blinking constantly, and her black eyeballs are moving intermittently. She looks very smart.
After hearing Gu Zheng's words, a flower suddenly bloomed on the little girl's delicate and beautiful face. Her bright red mouth curled at the entourage, made a face at him, and then stood directly on the stool, unceremoniously
I asked the waiter standing next to me for a new pair of bowls and chopsticks.
The attendant next to him was stunned for a moment, looked at Gu Zheng and nodded, and then got another set of bowls and chopsticks.
Gu Zheng saw that this little girl was so bold, not afraid of strangers at all, and didn't know who her parents were, so how could he dare to let her come out alone.
Gu Zheng simply put down the chopsticks in his hand. Anyway, he already roughly knew the level of this person, so he didn't want to taste the rest.
Gu Zheng spent a lot of money on a table of food and watched the little girl gobble it up. However, the little girl's appetite was astonishing. In just a short while, she ate nearly a third of the food like a whirlwind.
Although the portion of each dish was not large, the little girl's belly did not bulge at all. She really wondered where the food had gone.
