"There is a crispy skin on the outside, and a slightly sweet and soft texture after biting into it. This is the texture of the surface of the fried cake. Inside the fried cake is the filling. Pindao thought it was just pickled filling.
It won’t taste very good after it’s fried, but after you actually taste it, you realize that your previous thoughts were completely wrong! The meat in the filling is indescribably fragrant and tender, as if it’s filled with soup.
Paired with the richly scented mushrooms, it’s a wonderful feeling!”
The old man hurriedly explained the taste of the fried cake, and immediately started to enjoy the second piece of fried cake. The sound of swallowing was heard again in the store.
"Wu Sheng, may I ask your friend Gao's name?"
A man wearing the costume of the Tianling Sect clasped his fists in the air.
"Tie." Gu Zheng returned the courtesy.
"Brother Tie, can you make me a delicious dish like this? I also have some inner elixirs here." Wu Sheng said again.
"I'm sorry, Fellow Daoist Wu. The purpose of my coming to Tianling City this time is to participate in the auction. As for the agreement with this Fellow Daoist, it was completely unexpected."
Gu Zheng paused, looked at the crowd and said: "You want to taste the delicious food I cook, which makes me very happy, but I won't cook any more food in Tianling City this time. If you really want to taste it, I will
If you have time, you can go to Qingfeng City, where I opened a fairy kitchen restaurant called 'Jixiang Xiaozhu'. And, for the things that everyone asked before, I will only give a simple answer now. I want to know the specific situation,
Let’s talk about it later when we get to Jixiang Xiaozhu.”
Gu Zheng began to answer some questions that people had asked before, such as the charges for the dishes and the effects.
While Gu Zheng was answering everyone's questions, Lao Dao, who was eating the second piece of fried cake, had to quickly eat the remaining fried cake because the seaweed and egg drop soup he drank before had begun to turn into immortal essence.
After finishing the meal, he closed his eyes and immersed himself in absorbing the immortal essence.
Everyone was also curious about how many years of cultivation the old Taoist would gain after absorbing the immortal essence, so they did not say anything and quietly waited for the old Taoist.
During the meal, the old man opened his eyes, which were originally closed, and his eyes were full of ecstasy.
"Twenty years, twenty years! Taoist fellows are really amazing. They are able to cook such delicacies that are as effective as elixirs and even less restrictive. It is really unimaginable!"
The old Taoist looked at Gu Zheng and stuttered with excitement. He could not refine a medicine like Xianyuan Dan that could directly increase the immortal power, so his cultivation had stayed in the current state for many years. Moreover, Gu Zheng had previously
He also heard what he said when explaining everyone's doubts, so he understood that it was much more cost-effective to increase one's cultivation through delicious food than to take expensive elixirs like Xianyuan Dan.
The expression on the old Taoist's face was one of indescribable emotion, and the people around him were almost the same, but their eyes were more filled with emotion. After all, they had never tasted a delicacy with such effects.
"Fellow Taoist, now you think, can the food I cook be used in exchange for resources?" Gu Zheng smiled.
"Yes, of course I can!"
The old man sneered, but answered without hesitation. He understood that Gu Zheng was asking him for the promised inner elixir, so he quickly gave the inner elixir to Gu Zheng.
"Everyone, let's meet at Jixiang Xiaozhu!"
After receiving the inner elixir, Gu Zheng naturally would not stay in the shop any longer, and he immediately said goodbye to everyone.
"Brother Tie, let's go!"
"Fellow Taoist, I will definitely visit Jixiang Xiaozhu within a month!"
"Fellow Taoist, see you later!"
Everyone also said goodbye to Gu Zheng one after another, with some respect in their words. Gu Zheng really made them gain their knowledge today, and they were also impressed by his food skills.
After leaving the shop, Gu Zheng no longer planned to go shopping. He took Lingzhu and Master Yunqing to the auction house, and then waited for the auction to begin.
"Ancestor, this is really good. Not only did I get some inner elixirs, but I also spread the reputation of Jixiang Xiaozhu through this incident. The business will definitely be very prosperous in the future." Master Yun Qing said.
"What happened this time will definitely spread widely, and the way of eating will show its power!" Lingzhu said with a smile.
"What happened this time was an accident. I didn't plan to spread the reputation of Jixiang Xiaozhu so quickly. After all, I still want to visit that enchantment. If the reputation spreads, it will be in Jixiang Xiaozhu."
When we first started, some people came here because of its reputation, but Jixiang Xiaozhu is closed, which is a bit bad." Gu Zheng shook his head.
"When does the ancestor plan to go to that barrier now?" Master Yunqing asked.
"Let's wait until we return to Jixiang Xiaozhu for more than a month!"
Gu Zheng is a little curious about the barrier, but in his opinion, after entering the barrier, he will definitely not be able to come out in a short time, so he will only consider entering it when Jixiang Xiaozhu is on the right track.
Returning to the private room of the auction house, Master Yunqing and Lingzhu sat cross-legged and practiced, waiting for the auction to begin, while Gu Zheng began to refine the inner elixir.
Taking the inner elixir into his mouth and refining it with Tie Xian Jue, a large amount of pure wood-attribute energy enveloped the source of Gu Zheng's natal true wood.
After a while, the source of the natal true wood began to absorb the energy of the wood attribute. However, like a picky child, it only absorbed a little bit of the energy of the wood attribute and let most of the rest go to waste.
In this regard, Gu Zheng is also helpless, but fortunately if this continues, as long as the source of his natal true wood can become the spirit of his natal true wood, he will also have the ability to spawn food materials and improve the level of food materials, which is considered a loss.
have to.
After refining an inner elixir, Gu Zheng also began to practice. Although he has now reserved some inner elixirs, refining is not a continuous thing. After absorbing a little wood attribute energy, the source of his life's true wood
, there must be a period of time before the next refining can be carried out. Moreover, the way to turn the source of the five elements of life into the spirit of the five elements of life by refining the inner elixir can only be done one by one! When the source of the true wood of life needs to be separated for a period of time,
When time can swallow up the inner elixir energy again, Gu Zheng's source of true earth and source of true gold are also in the same state.
Time passed unknowingly, and various sounds began to appear in the originally quiet auction house. The auction was about to start, and many people entered the venue at this time. Gu Zheng looked out of the window of the private room.
, I saw that the seats in the venue were almost full.
After a while, the auctioneer came on stage. He knocked on the table with his gavel, and the auction room where there were still people talking suddenly fell silent.
"Everyone is welcome to participate in the auction hosted by our Tianling Sect. According to the old rules, the first auction item will be a good thing."
The auctioneer paused and pulled away the red cloth on the tray in the hand of the maid on the side, revealing a very rough-looking, dark red stone sword.
The stone sword was previously covered with red cloth, and there were also restrictions on the red cloth, so the audience didn't know what was under the red cloth, but when they saw that the thing covered under the red cloth was a stone sword,
When I saw the sword, everyone was a little moved! Because, judging from the special fluctuations emitted by the stone sword, this stone sword turned out to be a top-notch fairy weapon.
"Awesome, the top immortal level is also up for auction!"
"It's rare! Who would exchange the top immortal level for immortal coins?"
"When you can't exchange for the resources you want, exchanging fairy coins is a helpless move. After all, fairy coins are still hard currency."
"How many immortal coins do you need to prepare to buy this top-level immortal item?"
"This top-notch immortal weapon is so primitive and rough. Could it be a natural thing?"
"Probably not. If it is an innate thing, it is impossible for anyone to sell it. Even if it is sold, it will not be exchanged for immortal coins. Even if the immortal coins are hard currency, it is possible to have a powerful innate top-level immortal weapon.
Senior, I shouldn’t be short of immortal coins.”
"Don't be so sure! Maybe this innate thing was obtained by chance by a person with poor cultivation. If this is the case, and you don't want to cause death to yourself, then the wisest way is to send it into
It’s an auction.”
A lively discussion ensued, but was interrupted by the sound of a gavel hitting the table.
The auctioneer took out a jade talisman, and under the influence of the immortal power, light emitted from the jade talisman, which shot into the void to form a screen of light with a picture.
In the light curtain, a white-haired old man stood on the sea. Oncoming was a huge wave with a height of tens of feet. There were many sea monsters in the waves, including many dragons.
"Festival!"
The white-haired old man shouted one word, and pointed his sword finger at the oncoming huge wave. The stone sword that was originally suspended in the sky behind him immediately emitted a red light.
The sound of breaking wind sounded, and thousands of sword-shaped shadows appeared, shooting towards the huge waves ahead like arrows missing.
Hundreds of sea monsters in the huge waves were all killed, and even the huge waves were penetrated through many holes, turning into a huge ice wall, and collapsed suddenly on the water.
The light curtain in the sky has disappeared. Although its existence is short-lived, the shock it brings to people will definitely last.
"The sword of Yinshi can be barely activated in the realm of returning to the void. It is powerful enough to kill cultivators in the golden immortal realm. It can be fully activated in the golden immortal realm. With this sword, you have a certain chance of winning even against the Daluo golden immortal realm. It can be said that
, this is an immortal weapon that once possessed, has the ability to transcend the level of combat! In addition, this sword cannot be activated by sword immortals. The "Thousands of Swords" shown in the picture just now is just its magical power.
"
The auctioneer gave a brief introduction to the Yin Stone Sword, and then spoke again: "The auction begins now. The base price of the Yin Stone Sword is one hundred Blue Immortal coins, and each increase in price must not be less than two coins."
"One hundred and ten blue fairy coins!"
"One hundred and thirty blue fairy coins!"
"One hundred and seventy blue fairy coins!"
"Two hundred and twenty blue fairy coins!"
"Two hundred and eighty blue fairy coins!"
"Three hundred and seventy blue fairy coins!"
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, the bidding sounds began one after another.
The bidding price of the Yin Stone Sword continued to soar. The bidders seemed to be competing with each other, and the price increases became larger and larger. In less than a minute, the price of the Yin Stone Sword had reached the level of 1,500 Blue Immortal Coins!
At this point, there was a temporary silence in the continuous bidding, but this temporary silence was broken by another voice before the auctioneer could ask.
"Two thousand blue fairy coins!"
This time the bidder added 500 Blue Immortal coins at a time, which made many people gasp, and also made many people look around, as if they wanted to find the person who added 500 Blue Fairy coins at a time.
A rich man with a blue fairy coin.
However, in order to ensure the safety of customers, the auction house has set up an immortal formation in the auction hall. After entering the auction house, no one can speak. They can only use their spiritual thoughts to speak, and all spiritual thoughts can make sounds. Everyone in the auction house can
Anyone can hear this sound, and the source of this sound cannot be traced at all. It is almost impossible for curious people to find out who paid such a high price.
"Two thousand one hundred blue fairy coins!"
There was another price increase voice.
"More than two thousand Blue Immortal coins, how scary!" Master Yunqing in the private room smacked his tongue.
"Sir, do you want this fairy weapon?" Lingzhu asked.
"No!" Gu Zheng said.
"Is this immortal weapon bad?" Lingzhu asked again.
"Not good." Gu Zheng shook his head.
"Ancestor, is this immortal weapon an innate weapon?" Master Yunqing also asked.
"No, those people below who say that this sword is an innate weapon are either ignorant or just procrastinating. This magical weapon is just a failed work of a certain weapon refiner master." Gu Zheng said.
"Ah? A failed work? Why did the ancestor say that?"
Master Yunqing's eyes widened. He really didn't expect that this Yinshi sword, which looked very powerful, was actually the failed work of the master of weapon refinement.
"Although I am not good at refining weapons, I have come into contact with many masters of weapon refining, and I know a bit about the art of weapon refining. Moreover, I have come into contact with many top-level immortal weapons, and I also have a common sense for such level of magical weapons.
It feels special. First of all, this sword looks rough and simple, like a natural thing. In fact, it looks rough because the refining has not been completed. Secondly, the color of this sword actually absorbs the forged sword.
It became Yin Hong with the blood of the person, so it has the property of devouring the owner. It is okay to use it normally, but once the owner encounters a life and death crisis and is seriously injured, then this sword may kill the owner!
"Gu Zheng said.
After listening to Gu Zheng's explanation, Master Yunqing was full of admiration. If it weren't for Gu Zheng's explanation, and if he had enough immortal coins, then he would definitely buy this sword.
"Wouldn't that mean that whoever bought this sword actually bought a hidden danger?" Lingzhu said.
"You can say that." Gu Zheng said.
"The people at the auction should be very knowledgeable. How could they sell such harmful things to customers?" Lingzhu was puzzled.
"Miss Lingzhu, you don't understand this. No one can get along with money. What's more, the ancestors have to be well-informed to see the secrets. These people at the auction may not be able to see it! In other words,
An immortal weapon that may devour the owner is nothing, and magic weapons that can harm people may also appear at the auction. This is just a place for business, there are not so many right and wrong, what should and should not be." Master Yunqing
.
Lingzhu didn't say anything to Master Yunqing's words. Although she was very smart, she was still lacking in worldliness.
"By the way, sir, why is this auction not going according to common sense? I saw this Yinshi Sword among the items in this auction at the pre-sale desk!" Lingzhu asked.
"The auction in Tianling City has a custom called a beginning and an end. The first and last items in the auction are not told to the bidders in advance. It is also intended to create a mysterious atmosphere, and at the same time, it also wants to give
It’s a surprise for the bidders,” Gu Zheng said.
That is, while Gu Zheng and Lingzhu were talking, the first auction item was finally sold for 3,300 Blue Immortal coins.
At the beginning, a Yinshi Sword was sold for 3,300 Blue Immortal Coins, which also brought the atmosphere of the auction to a small climax, and then the second auction item appeared.
"Crystals of gold and jade, copper from the universe, dark steel with pine patterns, bones of Haiyin..."
The auctioneer reported a total of ten names of spiritual weapon refining materials, which can be used to refine high-level immortal weapons.
"These ten kinds of weapon refining materials are a set. The base price is one hundred Huangxian coins. Each increase in price must not be less than two Huangxian coins. The bidding starts now."
Compared with the Sword of Yin Stone at the beginning, the value of this set of refining materials is much lower. After the auctioneer said that bidding was possible, the scene became temporarily quiet. After all, people who wanted such resources either wanted to resell them.
Or they are weapon refiners. These two types of people are relatively small among the bidders.
"Since everyone is so polite, I will make an offer first, one hundred and ten Huang Xian coins!" A voice sounded.
"One hundred and fifteen blue fairy coins!"
The first person had just made a bid when the second bid was heard. Then after increasing the bid several times, this group of spiritual item refining resources finally ended up with. In the end, the second auction item soon started with
The transaction was completed at a price of one hundred and seventy-five Huang Xian coins, which is equivalent to seven Blue Xian coins.
After the second auction item is sold, the third auction item also appears immediately.
"Now let's start the bidding for the third auction item. This third auction item is a load of spring water from Longyan Spring. The starting price is two hundred and fifty Huang Xian coins, and each increase in price must not be less than two coins." The auctioneer said.
"Two hundred and sixty yellow immortal coins!"
"Two hundred and sixty-five Huangxian coins!"
"Two hundred and seventy yellow immortal coins!"
"Two hundred and eighty yellow immortal coins!"
"Two hundred and eighty-two yellow immortal coins!"
The sound of auctions continued one after another, but there was no level of adding a lot at once. Adding ten Huangxian coins at once was considered a substantial increase in price.
"Sir, where is Longyan Spring? What is the use of its spring water? Is it so valuable?"
Lingzhu was very curious. The base price of two hundred and fifty Yellow Immortal coins was equivalent to the price of five Blue Immortal coins and five high-grade ingredients.
"Longyan Spring is located in Longyan County in Nanzhan Buzhou. It is a high-grade spring water used to quench immortal weapons, so it is so valuable. Moreover, Longyan Spring does not have water all year round. Even when there is water, the water source is not
It's very plentiful, so the spring water is naturally more expensive." Gu Zheng said.
"Sir, how much is this load of longan spring water worth according to the market price?" Lingzhu asked again.
"It's hard to say, usually this kind of water will not flow into the market, but according to my estimate, this load of spring water should be worth a thousand Huangxian coins!" Gu Zheng said.
