"Anyway, I don't care. If you can be bullied by a bad demon cultivator, you are a stupid bear! If you don't want me to call you stupid bear, then wait until your cultivation level exceeds mine!" Lingzhu said proudly.
"you,"
Xiong San was speechless. The Lingzhu's cultivation was already at the middle stage of the Mysterious Demon, and he was not even a demon cultivator now. Who knew how long it would take for him to catch up to him?
Looking at the bickering Lingzhu and Xiong San, Gu Zheng shook his head helplessly. These two guys were really enemies. In the short time they came to Yaoxiu Cave, they had become very familiar with each other and kept bickering.
"Okay, if you want to avenge Stupid Bear, hurry up!" Gu Zheng urged.
"Master, why do you call me stupid bear?" Xiong San wanted to cry.
"Hmph, if you don't want me to call you stupid bear, then wait until your cultivation reaches the level of the Lingzhu!" Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"Great!"
Lingzhu cheered, but Xiong San's face turned black.
Xiong San stuck out his tongue with a dark face, said nothing more and raised his palm to hit the opposite rock with the spirit bead.
I saw a huge stream of water spurting out from Lingzhu's palm, turning into the shape of a big fish, and slammed into the opposite rock.
"Peng!"
The fairy formation arranged by the demon cultivator was broken by a blow from the spirit bead, and even the hidden cave door was blasted open by the spirit bead.
"Sir, spare my life!"
A scream suddenly sounded in the cave.
"Get out!" Lingzhuza said.
"Okay, I'll get out!"
Along with the fawning voice, a meat ball rolled out of the cave and landed on the ground, turning into a thin-looking Taoist. He was the demon cultivator who placed the ban on Xiong Sanqiu.
Naturally, there were surveillance restrictions outside the demon cultivator's cave, so Gu Zheng and the others discovered the demon cultivator as soon as they arrived.
As soon as it turned out that the person was brought by Xiong San, the demon cultivator understood that something was wrong, but at that time he did not know the depth of cultivation of Gu Zheng and others, so he did not say anything.
The spirit bead broke the demon cultivator's immortal formation as soon as he took action. This made the demon cultivator, whose strength was only in the late stage of the spirit demon, understand that he was definitely no match for the newcomer, so he quickly begged for mercy.
"My lords, if you have something to say, say it well. If you have something to say, say it well!"
The demon cultivator bowed to everyone with a flattering smile on his face.
"Say it well? I'm talking about your uncle!"
Xiong San roared, rushed over and swung his bear paw at the demon cultivator.
Xiong San is very strong, but the demon cultivator has not taken his strength seriously yet. However, in order to let Xiong San vent his anger, the demon cultivator is also very cooperative, so that Xiong San gives him two bear paws and knocks him out.
It was spinning around on the ground like a top, and even a few of its teeth flew out.
Xiong San only slapped the demon cultivator twice, and his face was swollen until it looked like a pig's head. He didn't do it again, he just kicked the demon cultivator again and then stopped.
"Stupid bear, are you angry now?"
Lingzhu looked at Xiong San with some disbelief.
"I'm already angry."
Xiong San's nature is not bad, and he is even a bit naughty. Therefore, after giving the demon cultivator a small lesson, he was almost relieved of his anger. What's more, Xiong San also knows that for the demon cultivator,
This matter is not over yet, there is still a follow-up waiting for this hateful guy!
"All right!"
Lingzhu rolled her eyes at Xiong San, then looked at the demon cultivator: "Do you want to die or live?"
"I want to live, I want to live!"
The demon cultivator hurriedly responded, blood flowing down the missing teeth, and his face was swollen like a pig's head, which looked quite funny.
"You have prevented Stupid Bear from cultivating properly these past few months. Since you want to live, you must pay corresponding compensation!"
On the way here, Lingzhu had already asked Gu Zheng how he would resolve the matter.
Gu Zheng didn't want to cause more killings. If Xiong San's demon cultivator's consciousness could be rectified and decent compensation could be given, then it would be okay to spare his life. But if this demon cultivator doesn't know how to live or die, or has a bad attitude, then
Just send him on his way.
"Okay, I'll compensate you, and I'll go get something good for you!"
The demon cultivator had a smile on his face, and as soon as he finished speaking, he was about to go to the cave to get the good things he said.
"You just stay here and let Stupid Bear go to your cave!"
Lingzhu curled her lips, this demon cultivator didn't even have a mustard bag, let alone any good things. What's more, there should be a second passage in the demon cultivator's cave. Although she was not worried that the demon cultivator could escape, she could
If he really escapes, it will still take a lot of effort.
"Okay, I'm going to see what good things this guy has in his cave."
Searching the cave was obviously something Xiong San was more interested in, so he immediately ran towards the demon cultivator's cave.
"No!"
Gu Zheng called Xiong San to stop at this time.
"I miss your cultivation endlessly, and I wanted to spare your life, but who knew that you have done many things that are harmful to nature, so I have to keep you alive."
When Gu Zheng was talking, the demon cultivator still looked pitiful, but when Gu Zheng said that he had done many evil things, his expression changed and he wanted to run away, but unfortunately his strength was not as good as Gu Zheng's.
The difference was so great that Gu Zheng easily mobilized the energy of heaven and earth to imprison him, making it impossible for him to escape even if he wanted to.
"I'll fight you!"
The demon cultivator roared under the pressure of the energy of heaven and earth, and instantly transformed into a centipede more than one foot long, baring its teeth and claws in an attempt to break free from the pressure of the energy of heaven and earth.
“Don’t overestimate your capabilities!”
Gu Zheng smiled coldly, frowned, and the pressure of the energy of heaven and earth shrank rapidly. The centipede, which was still showing its teeth and claws, was instantly squeezed and deformed by the pressure of heaven and earth energy. In the end, only a piece of blood was left. The difference in strength was too big.
, Gu Zheng does not need to take action at all, just the pressure of the energy of heaven and earth can crush an opponent like Centipede Demon Cultivator into a meat pie.
"Master, what kind of evil thing has he done?" Xiong San asked curiously when he saw that the centipede demon cultivator was dead.
"I have used my spiritual mind to explore his cave just now. There are corpses of boys and girls in his cave. I think this guy must have devoured the souls of boys and girls to practice some kind of evil magic." Gu Zheng said.
"Master, isn't there anything good in his cave?"
Xiong San scratched his head. He felt that he could finally get something from the Centipede Demon Cultivator, so after giving the Centipede Demon Cultivator two bear paws, he felt that he had vented his anger. But if he couldn't get anything from the Centipede Demon Cultivator, then
He will definitely be very unhappy and won't even be able to sleep well because of this.
"He should have some good stuff, but it's not in his cave, but in his centipede."
The centipede can form beads, which is a rather strange kind of monster. The beads it forms are either the second inner elixir or have various magical powers.
Just like the centipede king killed in the Corrupt Swamp before in Guzheng, he had a centipede bead in his body, and this centipede bead was also his second inner elixir. In the end, he was refined by the angry man into his inner elixir.
, and finally on the battlefield of opportunity, relying on the mysterious connection between the inner elixir and King Centi, Gu Zheng found King Centi and others at the critical moment who were trying to change the world.
The Centipede Demon Cultivator's Centipede Pearl has been scanned by Gu Zheng with his spiritual thoughts, and it is determined that its purpose is like a space fairy weapon, which can store items. The Centipede Demon Cultivator itself does not have a space fairy weapon such as a mustard seed pocket, so he must have
All items are placed in centipede beads.
Xiong San excitedly picked up the centipede and handed it to Gu Zheng, but Gu Zheng did not pick it up.
"You don't have a space fairy weapon yet. This centipede can only be used by demon cultivators. You shed your blood to recognize it as its owner, and it will be your storage fairy weapon from now on."
After Gu Zheng finished speaking, he told Xiong San the formula for identifying the owner of a spiritual creature.
"Thank you, Master!"
After Xiong San thanked Gu Zheng, he immediately used the formula to recognize the centipede as its owner, and then poured out the contents.
There are indeed a lot of things in the Centipede Demon Cultivator's Centipede Beads, which were piled on the ground in a big pile. However, due to the limitations of cultivation and cultivation techniques, the things collected by the Centipede Demon Cultivator are either not of high quality.
, or items related to sorcery, and there were only three high-quality ingredients, which barely caught the eye of Gu Zheng.
"Master, what should I do with my cyclone?"
After playing with the Centipede Demon Cultivator's Centipede Pearl for a while, Xiong San asked with a sad face.
"You still remember your cyclone!" Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"Of course I remember, but I was too embarrassed to ask before." Xiong San whispered.
"This can be regarded as a small disaster for you. You must practice hard in the future and try to improve your cultivation as soon as possible. Otherwise, such a small demon cultivator can deal with you!" Gu Zheng said seriously.
"Master said yes, I have written it down." Xiong San nodded hurriedly.
Gu Zheng penetrated Xiong San's body with his spiritual thoughts and easily solved Xiong San's cyclone problem. He had never done this before, and he also wanted to rush Xiong San and let him know the importance of strength.
.
After solving the cyclone problem for Xiong San, Gu Zheng took Xiong San and Lingzhu to the bottom of the waterfall. Naturally, Xiong San and Lingzhu bickered frequently along the way.
"Master, are you going to make food for us?"
Seeing Gu Zheng bring out some ingredients, Xiong San's eyes widened. He really missed the food Gu Zheng cooked.
"As a foodie, you know how to eat. The things Mr. brought out are obviously not conventional ingredients." Lingzhu said with a smile.
"These things are edible, why aren't they regular ingredients?"
It is true that the food Xiong San ate before was very rough, and the food Gu Zheng brought out now was indeed edible to him.
"If I'm not wrong, sir, I'm going to make some food for you," Lingzhu said.
"It can't be regarded as food cultivation. After all, the effects of things made with them are very weak."
Gu Zheng had no choice. If when he saw Xiong San this time, he was already close to forming a pill, then Gu Zheng could use food cultivation to send him to form a pill. Unfortunately, he hadn't even reached that step, even at the lowest level.
The food cultivation and the effect of medicine are not something he can bear. And what Gu Zheng wants to cook for Xiong San now can only be regarded as dietary therapy at best, so that Xiong San can save a month of hard training.
"I know you are looking forward to eating what I cook, but I won't cook it for you this time. Wait for the dietary therapy I make for you. After you eat it, it will save you a period of practice. I will give it to you in a month.
Come and see you. If your cyclone is about to reach the point of forming a pill, then I will cook food for you and give you a pill. I will also make delicious food for you later. But if you don’t practice well, wait for me for a month.
When you come back later, your cyclone has not reached the expected level, then I will punish you!" Gu Zheng said seriously.
"What punishment will Master give me then?" Xiong San asked cautiously.
"Hmph, you will regret being a bear."
Gu Zheng's smiling expression made Xiong San shiver.
"Master, don't worry, I will practice well." Xiong San said, patting his chest.
"You hold this jade talisman. If you encounter any danger that you can't handle again, such as encountering another demon cultivator, you can crush this jade talisman. In addition, when you encounter danger, say that you have a master. This will
It’s not something to be ashamed of.”
The last time they met, Gu Zheng didn't give Xiong three jade talismans because he didn't have enough materials to make jade talismans. When he brought the spirit beads back from the Undercurrent Sea this time, he passed by a big city and collected some.
"Disciple, I have written it down."
Xiong San nodded and put the jade talisman into the centipede.
"Lingzhu, come and help me with the ingredients."
After teaching Lingzhu how to handle the ingredients in front of him, Gu Zheng, with the help of Lingzhu, quickly gave Xiong San a dietary therapy. Originally, even if it was a dietary therapy, Gu Zheng could do a very good job, but he did not
Without doing this, Xiong San complained endlessly after a meal of dietary therapy.
Both Xiong San and Lingzhu knew that Gu Zheng did this on purpose. Xiong San could only laugh, while Lingzhu could only smile with his eyes and mouth.
After Xiong San took the dietary therapy, Gu Zheng gave him some guidance on some matters concerning his cultivation, and then returned to Qingfeng City with the spirit beads early the next morning.
Chaoyang City was originally the Lincheng City of Qingfeng City. When Gu Zheng flew back to Qingfeng City with the spirit beads, it was almost noon.
After landing outside Qingfeng City, Gu Zheng walked towards the city with the spirit bead.
"Look, isn't that the chef from Jixiang Xiaozhu?"
"That's right, it's the chef from Jixiang Xiaozhu!"
"I thought Chu Ti was gone, but I didn't expect that as Bai Li and the others said, Chu Ti was back!"
"Chef Tie, what have you been busy with lately?"
"While you were away, we all missed your delicious food!"
When Gu Zheng returned to Qingfeng City, it attracted onlookers. However, Gu Zheng rarely showed up and was rarely anxious with others. Therefore, many people were talking about it, but not many took the initiative to talk. To those who asked, Gu Zheng also
They all replied with a smile, and also asked some questions about Jixiang Xiaozhu.
Jixiang Xiaozhu has been doing well recently, and nothing else has happened. However, the ancient contention is not in Jixiang Xiaozhu. The business of Jixiang Xiaozhu is naturally not as hot as before, but even so, Jixiang Xiaozhu is still sitting quietly in the breeze.
The location of the first restaurant in the city.
Surrounded by everyone, Gu Zhengdu had not yet returned to Jixiang Xiaozhu. Bai Li and others who heard the news had already come to greet them with the chef of Jixiang Xiaozhu.
Bai Li and others were naturally very happy for Gu Zheng's return. They originally thought that Gu Zheng would never come back, and even if he did come back, it might be a few years later. After all, a few years would not be enough for a cultivator like Gu Zheng.
To put it bluntly, it’s really just a snap of a finger.
The group of people returned to Jixiang Xiaozhu talking and laughing, and the lively atmosphere became a little quieter. However, the silence was only temporary. Since they knew that Gu Zheng had returned, the business of Jixiang Xiaozhu at noon today was bound to be very busy.
Hot.
Originally, Gu Zheng planned to officially return to being the head chef tomorrow, but when he mentioned this matter to the residents of the city, he really encountered strong opposition. Faced with these residents who were looking forward to his cooking skills, he
I had no choice but to cook at noon today.
"Brother Tie, you still have the foresight!"
After some small talk, Bai Li looked at Gu Zheng with emotion.
"How do you say that?" Gu Zheng asked.
"When you told me about the layout of Jixiang Xiaozhu, I was still a bit small and wanted to open it wider. You said that opening it too wide would cause me trouble. Who would have thought that it would really be like this!
"
Bai Li was very convinced of Gu Zheng's original decision. Fortunately, he didn't open the Jixiang Xiaozhu bigger, otherwise it would really make other restaurants lose business and cause trouble for him.
"Our business is good, but we must also leave a way for others to survive, otherwise they will be jealous."
Gu Zheng smiles, and he doesn't want to get into trouble when it saves him trouble.
"Some of the rules at Jixiang Xiaozhu will be changed tomorrow, and I want to serve some new dishes."
Gu Zheng is now able to use the Water Control Technique perfectly, and it’s time to introduce some new dishes.
"Chef, during your absence, we have changed some of the rules of Jixiang Xiaozhu." Huang Ying said.
"Oh? What was changed?" Gu Zheng asked.
"The opening hours of the day are added by one hour in the morning and one hour in the evening."
Afraid that Gu Zheng would be angry, Huang Ying spoke cautiously.
"Increasing the opening hours will allow more people to taste Jixiang Xiaozhu's cooking, which is not a bad thing. But with more business, is the quality of the ingredients guaranteed?" Gu Zheng asked.
"The quality of the ingredients is naturally a little worse than when Brother Tie picked it in person, but it is not too bad. During Brother Tie's absence, I have already contacted the markets in the two nearby cities. There are
The ingredients will be packed on ice and delivered by truck," Bai Li said.
I still know a little about Bai Li and Gu Zheng. His family has been in business for generations and has a good reputation. He is not a black-hearted businessman.
"As long as you don't do anything to damage the sign, you will change the rules when I am away. But after I come back, my cooking time will still be as per my previous rules."
Gu Zheng paused and looked at Huang Ying and others: "Now that your cooking skills have stabilized when you are cooking the dishes on the menu, I will leave the rest of the time to you!"
“We will listen to the chef’s arrangements!”
Seeing that Gu Zheng was not angry about the change of rules, Huang Ying and others cheered in unison.
"Let's go, get ready to prepare the ingredients. It's almost time for dinner."
Gu Zheng stood up and took the lead into the kitchen, Huang Ying and others quickly followed behind.
The kitchen of Jixiang Xiaozhu is busy, and the outside of the restaurant is very lively. Everyone is still talking about the return of Guzheng. The faces of those in front of the queue are all filled with joy. As for those who are relatively behind in the queue,
Those people seemed a little depressed. After all, Gu Zheng had disappeared for a while, and the diners missed the delicious food he cooked so much, and the number of dishes he cooked every day was limited. As soon as the restaurant opened today, those in front of him would
People must finish ordering the dishes he cooks, and those who follow will naturally have no chance to taste them.
