Wuweizi, who had been waiting, saw Gu Zheng and Jin Yan and the others going downstairs and quickly asked. As he asked, Jin Yan and the others also looked expectant.
Jin Yan and the others did not know the outcome of the matter. Gu Zheng did not tell them, and they did not dare to ask. Moreover, they had no memory of what they had experienced in the illusion, because Gu Zheng had already been in their illusion.
That part of the memory is erased.
"Among the three of them, Jin Yan is qualified and can become a member of my Jixiang Xiaozhu." Gu Zheng announced the result.
"Very good!"
Jin Yan cheered and jumped up.
"Insolent! Why are you so unruly!"
Wuweizi was very happy at first, but when he saw Jin Yan's reaction, his face turned pale with fright, and he quickly shouted at her.
"It doesn't matter. Become a member of my very fragrant little house. You don't need to pay too much attention to some customary rituals, and you don't need to be too formal." Gu Zhengdan said.
"Thank you, senior!"
Jin Yan quickly thanked Gu Zheng. She couldn't help but be a little scared about how she had just gotten carried away.
"Now that you have become a member of Jixiang Xiaozhu, please call me sir from now on!" Gu Zheng said.
"Thank you sir!"
Seeing that Gu Zheng was not angry and quite easy-going, Jin Yan could not help but feel relieved in her heart.
Compared to Jin Yan's happiness, the other two men looked disappointed. There were only three places to try their luck at Jixiang Xiaozhu. How lucky the two of them were to get it. I don't know how many disciples there are in the sect.
I envy them. After all, let’s not talk about the prospects of the way of eating. Gu Zheng’s status alone is extremely noble. With this existence beside him, the whole person will be three points higher. If among the three people who came this time, there is no
They wouldn't be so disappointed if one of them was chosen, but Jin Yan could stay, but the two of them couldn't, which made them feel even more uncomfortable.
"If Jin Yan has something to do, go back and deal with it now, and then come to Jixiang Xiaozhu as soon as possible. If she has nothing to do, she can stay today." Gu Zheng said to Wuweizi.
"Senior, Jin Yan's trivial matters have been settled before she came. She can stay today." Wuweizi said.
"Okay, then I won't keep you any longer. Some ingredients need to be processed in advance. Jin Yan comes with me to the kitchen!"
Now that it is very close to the opening of Jixiang Xiaozhu in the evening, Gu Zheng is indeed going to be busy.
"Senior, go and do your business! We will say goodbye now!"
Wuweizi saluted Gu Zheng, and then said to Jin Yan: "From now on, I will learn cooking skills from my seniors. Don't make your seniors unhappy, and don't embarrass our Yinlei Sect."
"Jin Yan has remembered the instructions given by our ancestors," Jin Yan said.
Without staying any longer, Wuweizi left Jixiang Xiaozhu with the other two disciples.
After leaving Jixiang Xiaozhu, Wuweizi asked his two disciples: "What did you experience in the illusion?"
"Don't remember."
"I have no impression at all."
The two disciples had a sad face.
"As I thought, you won't remember what you experienced in the illusion."
Wuweizi nodded and said: "You two, don't be so sad. You can't join Jixiang Xiaozhu, so go back and practice hard!"
Wuweizi is instructing two disciples here. In the kitchen of Jixiang Xiaozhu, Gu Zheng has already introduced Jin Yan to Xiong San and others.
Although Jin Yan is young, she is a beautiful girl, and her appearance is better than that of Lingzhu. Her joining has made Lingzhu somewhat hostile.
Gu Zheng was only responsible for introducing Jin Yan to Xiong San and the others, and then went off to handle the ingredients. Xiong San and the others would teach Jin Yan some basic things about the way of eating, and he would teach Jin Yan if necessary.
Yan.
Xiong San and the others were not too busy at the moment and were all dealing with the ingredients. Lingzhu took the initiative to explain the basic knowledge to Jin Yan.
While Lingzhu was explaining to Jin Yan, Jin Yan just listened very attentively and did not ask any questions midway.
"Don't you have anything to ask?"
Lingzhu frowned. She remembered that when Gu Zheng told her these things, she had asked Gu Zheng about some things that she was more curious about.
"No, what Sister Lingzhu said is very easy to understand. There is nothing to ask. Once you hear it, you will remember it." Jin Yan smiled at Lingzhu.
"Then what are you curious about?" Lingzhu asked again.
"I'm curious how many people there are in Jixiang Xiaozhu."
Jin Yan paused and looked at Xiong San next to her: "Brother Xiong San, how many people are there in our Jixiang Xiaozhu?"
"Sister Jinyan, besides us, there is another one named Yunqing in our Jixiang Xiaozhu."
"Work hard, you don't need to answer this."
Xiong San didn't say anything before he was interrupted by Lingzhu.
Lingzhu smiled sweetly when she interrupted Xiong San's speech, but the sweetness made Xiong San's back feel a little cold. It was a warning sweetness!
"Hmm, this job does require concentration. Use the Fire Control Technique to handle the ingredients on hand. If you are not careful, the ingredients will be destroyed. Sister Jinyan, I will not answer your question. If you have any questions, just
Ask your sister Lingzhu!"
"Okay, brother Xiong San, you are busy!" Jin Yan nodded hurriedly.
"You don't need to call him brother, just call him Xiong San. He likes to be serious!" Lingzhu said seriously.
Jin Yan frowned slightly, then stuck out her tongue: "Okay, then I will listen to Sister Lingzhu and call this Brother Xiong San from now on."
Although Jin Yan was young, she could still understand the meaning of Lingzhu's words, and her reply now made Lingzhu nodded with satisfaction.
"You're really not ashamed. You've just met and your brother and sister are already together?" Lingzhu sent a message to Xiong San.
"Don't think blindly, she is only fourteen years old, still just a child!" Xiong San's message was very helpless.
"Fourteen years old? What's wrong with being fourteen years old? You're already sensible at the age of fourteen!"
The Lingzhu once again transmitted messages to Xiong San. Because Jin Yan's cultivation level was too low, she could not sense the spiritual communication between the Lingzhu and Xiong San, so she still asked her curious questions.
"Sister Lingzhu, is Yunqing a boy or a girl?" Jin Yan asked.
"That guy is a man, named Master Yunqing. He should be practicing upstairs now." Lingzhu said.
"Master Yunqing."
Jin Yan murmured, then her eyes lit up and she said, "Does he look like he is thirty or forty years old?"
Jin Yan called out to someone who had been hit by Gu Zheng in the corridor with his immortal power.
"Yes, that's him."
Knowing that Jin Yan had gone upstairs, Lingzhu felt that he must have met Master Yunqing.
Unknowingly, three days passed. During these three days, the business of Jixiang Xiaozhu was still so good. Apart from taking care of the Xianchu shop, Gu Zheng spent most of his time teaching cooking skills every day.
Above, a small part of the time is spent refining the wood attribute inner elixir.
The source of Gu Zheng's natal true wood has not yet become the spirit of his natal true wood. Even if he refines the hundreds of wood-attribute inner elixirs on hand, it will not be enough. However, the water-attribute and fire-attribute inner elixirs have already been stored.
Well, Gu Zheng plans to use these two inner elixirs in the near future to cook a special food cultivation method to increase the speed at which Huang Ying and others can produce the source of their true water and the source of their true fire.
In the past three years, there have been many trivial things around Huang Ying and others. Several of those who originally learned cooking from Gu Zheng have left the restaurant, and Huang Ying and others have also begun to recruit apprentices. They are still persisting.
There are only five people left to practice with Master Yunqing, excluding those from the Bai family. However, these five people have a relatively simple mentality and seem to want to follow the path of food.
The current cultivation state of Huang Ying and other five people is Qi Transformation, including Jin Yan who has just joined Jixiang Xiaozhu. In this state, cultivators can already generate the source of the five elements of their life. However, through their own cultivation,
The process still needs to be a little slower, just like Jin Yan's cultivation in the middle stage of Qi Transformation, her own cultivation qualifications are also very good, but now she just has the feeling that the source of the true wood of her life is about to emerge.
Early in the morning, Jin Yan followed Lingzhu and Xiong San to the back kitchen to practice their cooking skills. When they entered the kitchen, Jin Yan found that Gu Zheng was already in the kitchen.
After giving the gift to Gu Zheng, Jin Yan put a plate on the table at night and couldn't help but feel excited on her face.
There was a lid on the plate, and Gu Zheng was in the kitchen early in the morning, which meant that he had already cooked something. However, there was only one plate, and it was obviously not breakfast. So what was on the plate, Jin Yan guessed in her mind.
Very excited.
"What are you excited about?"
Gu Zheng saw Jin Yan's excitement.
"Sir, what is that covered under the plate?" Jin Yan asked.
"What do you think?" Gu Zheng asked with a smile.
Gu Zheng had no feeling of strangeness towards Jin Yan, and his feeling towards her was similar to that towards Lingzhu, because he already knew Jin Yan very well in the 'Three Talents Illusion Formation'.
"Food Cultivator, this is the introductory food cultivator prepared by my husband for me!" Jin Yan was excited.
"Introductory food training?"
Gu Zheng frowned, but couldn't help but shake his head and smile: "Yes, let's get started with food cultivation. After eating, let Lingzhu help you complete the process of cleansing the meridians and cutting the marrow."
Gu Zheng understood that it must have been Lingzhu who told Jin Yan that she was now a member of Jixiang Xiaozhu and would receive a marrow cleansing diet as usual, so Jin Yan called the marrow cleansing diet that was not sold to the outside world.
Introductory food repair.
"Thank you sir!"
Jin Yan thanked Gu Zheng and happily took Shi Xiu to the front hall.
During this time at Jixiang Xiaozhu, Jin Yan's eyes were really opened. She had never known before that there were so many incredible things in the way of food, and that the food in the world could be so delicious. She really liked this kind of food and drink.
The feeling of intimate contact.
Jin Yan brought Shi Xiu to the front hall, and Lingzhu followed. They had just sat down in the front hall, and Master Yunqing, who had already guided Huang Ying and others in their cultivation, also came back.
"Brother Yunqing!"
Jin Yan greeted Master Yunqing. After getting along with each other for the past few days, she had become a lot familiar with the people in Jixiang Xiaozhu.
"Um."
Master Yunqing just nodded. He wanted Jin Yan to call him fellow Taoist, but Jin Yan felt that since they were all members of Jixiang Xiaozhu, calling him fellow Taoist was more unfamiliar to her, so Master Yunqing just
Let her go.
Seeing Master Yunqing walking upstairs with his head lowered, without even saying hello, Lingzhu had no choice but to send a message: "Yunqing, I think you should tell your husband earlier. I feel that you are getting more and more serious!"
"I understand." Master Yunqing said via voice message.
Lingzhu understood that Gu Zheng actually knew the current situation of Master Yunqing. He even foresaw that Master Yunqing would be like this from the beginning. However, Master Yunqing was stubborn at the beginning and he didn't want to force it. Now he just pretended not to notice.
He arrived and waited for Master Yunqing to speak to him. Master Yunqing was also reluctant to speak to Gu Zheng because of his previous stubbornness.
"Sister Lingzhu, what's wrong with brother Yunqing? I often see him in a daze, and I feel that he is very cold." Jin Yan lowered her voice.
"He was hurt by love!" Lingzhu shook his head.
"Hurt by love? What's going on?" Jin Yan's eyes lit up and she asked in a very gossipy manner.
"Eat your food to cultivate, children, don't ask too much!" Lingzhu rolled his eyes at Jin Yan.
"Sister Lingzhu, I'm not a child anymore!" Jin Yan pouted.
"I won't tell you what to do if Yun Qing gets angry?" Lingzhu said seriously.
Master Yunqing, who had already arrived upstairs, now stopped with a wry smile. He could hear Jin Yan's lowered voice, not to mention Lingzhu's unsuppressed voice.
"Why!"
With a sigh, Master Yunqing, who felt that he really couldn't hold on any longer, went downstairs and wanted to bring up old disputes again.
"Yunqing, are you enlightened?"
Looking at Master Yunqing who was smiling bitterly at her as he walked downstairs, Lingzhu laughed.
"Miss Lingzhu keeps tapping me, how can I not be enlightened?" Master Yunqing said angrily and funny.
"Go quickly!"
Lingzhu pointed to the kitchen, where Gu Zheng was now.
"Sister Lingzhu, what is Brother Yunqing doing to find your husband?" Jin Yan asked curiously.
"Ask your husband to uncover the scars of his love, and ask him to heal his heart ailments."
Lingzhu paused for a moment, then looked at Jin Yan fiercely: "It's all because of you, otherwise I would have known how deep the scars in Yun Qing's heart were, but now I have to wait here.
Help you cleanse your menstrual marrow!"
Lingzhu has long since lost any hostility towards Jin Yan, and treats Jin Yan as a younger sister. When Jin Yan first came to Jixiang Xiaozhu, the reason why Lingzhu was hostile to her was simply an instinct after seeing a beautiful person of the same sex.
Later, when I thought about it, it suddenly dawned on me that Gu Zheng must have seen Jin Yan's quality in the "Three Talents Fantasy". If the quality was not up to standard, Gu Zheng would naturally not let her join Jixiang Xiaozhu.
"I want to see it too!"
Jin Yan chuckled: "Sister Lingzhu, why don't we go and have a look? Is it okay if I don't eat for a while?"
"It doesn't matter if it's just for a short while, but the husband asked you and me to come to the front hall, and now we have put down the business of taking food and repair and run back to the kitchen. Aren't you afraid that the husband will be displeased?" Lingzhu said.
"Then forget it!"
As soon as Lingzhu said that Gu Zheng would be displeased, Jin Yan immediately lost her energy.
However, Jin Yan, who seemed to have lost her energy just now, immediately brightened her eyes again: "I'd better eat and repair quickly. I hope that when the menstrual cleansing and marrow removal is over, I can go to the kitchen to pick up a tail and have a look!"
Jin Yan had already begun to take the food to repair it, and Master Yunqing finally made it to the kitchen. He really felt uncomfortable.
"gentlemen."
Entering the kitchen, Master Yunqing sneered at Gu Zheng who was handling the ingredients.
"Can't bear it anymore?"
Gu Zheng smiled, just as Lingzhu guessed, Gu Zheng had already foreseen the current situation of Master Yunqing.
"I……"
Seeing Gu Zheng's smile, Master Yunqing's nose felt sore and he felt like crying.
"No way!"
Gu Zheng was speechless. He saw Master Yunqing's eyes turning red.
"thump!"
Master Yunqing knelt down to Gu Zheng, and he really cried: "Ancestor, I am useless. I want to suppress it and not cause trouble to the ancestor, but I can't suppress it..."
Master Yunqing cried so sadly that he even used the previous title. Gu Zheng knew that he didn't mean it. He showed his true feelings when he knelt down. In his heart, he preferred to call him the same name as before.
Gu Zheng called him 'Ancestor' instead of calling him Mr. Gu Zheng like Lingzhu did. He felt that the title 'Ancestor' was more appropriate.
Seeing Master Yunqing crying like a child, Gu Zheng didn't feel very good. The fact that Master Yunqing could enter Jixiang Xiaozhu means that Gu Zheng recognizes him, no matter whether he has good or bad qualifications, low or high cultivation level
, he is a member of Jixiang Xiaozhu! However, this member was bullied by the people of Shanhaimen. This is something that Gu Zheng does not allow. If Master Yunqing did not really hope that Gu Zheng would let it go.
They all had the heart to destroy the Shanhaimen in ancient times!
"Okay, why are you crying? When something comes up, just find a way to solve it!"
Gu Zheng raised his hand and used his immortal power to lift Master Yunqing up. At the same time, he also used the 'Another Technique' on Master Yunqing, causing his tears to stop immediately. A grown man was crying, and Gu Zheng couldn't bear it.
this.
After being supported by Gu Zheng, Master Yunqing's mood has stabilized a lot. He said pitifully to Gu Zheng: "Sir, I am more accustomed to calling you ancestor."
"It's up to you, you can shout whatever you want!" Gu Zheng said.
"Uh-huh!"
Master Yunqing nodded hurriedly, then turned to Gu Zheng and said with a bitter face: "Ancestor, I can't help it, I'm very distressed! I don't want to think about Yun Jing, and I don't want to think about things related to her, but those things
It always pops up from time to time, making it impossible for me to concentrate on practicing and doing things."
"Ancestor, I really don't miss her! When the things about her appear in my mind, I seem to be watching from a bystander's perspective. My heart is neither sad nor happy, and I am very calm. But if I want to
Being separated from this feeling, my heart will become extremely irritable. It seems that only in that feeling can I find peace!" Master Yunqing explained.
"You are a demon. Yun Jing has become your inner demon!"
Gu Zheng was angry and funny: "You're still a cultivator. You couldn't suppress it. Why didn't you say it earlier? Don't you feel that this is a serious matter? This is a sign that the inner demon is about to appear. Once it does occur, people like you will
This situation will definitely be abolished!"
"Ancestor, what should we do now?"
Master Yunqing had a sad face. He had already realized the seriousness of the matter. But at that time, he had the courage to disobey Gu Zheng for Yun Jing. Later, on the one hand, he did not speak much to Gu Zheng, and on the other hand, he wanted to
Another reason why he wanted to suffer a little was to let Gu Zheng, who had been disobedient by him, calm down. Another reason was that he hoped that through some time, Gu Zheng's dissatisfaction with Shanhaimen would be eliminated.
"What should I do? Salad!"
He glared at Master Yunqing fiercely. Of course, Gu Zheng also knew the reason why Master Yunqing had not come to look for him until now.
"hey-hey."
Master Yunqing smiled flatteringly, and Gu Zheng glared at him fiercely, letting him know that his little thoughts could not be hidden from Gu Zheng.
