Facing Qi Ling's inquiry, Gu Zheng did not hesitate: "The law is the Tao, and the Tao follows nature. It is everywhere, yet elusive."
After Gu Zheng finished speaking, he was stunned by the water mist on the pot.
After a while, Gu Zheng thought: "Why are you silent?"
"I thought you had some insights, so I didn't bother you. Did you gain anything?" Qi Ling asked hurriedly.
"It's not the kind of realization you think. It's just a natural feeling. I feel like something is moving in my head. It seems that I have a deeper understanding of food."
Gu Zheng smiled slightly and began to serve out the prepared Feng Shi Xiu.
"Although words can't explain it clearly, today is my natural choice. It is definitely a good start! Enlightenment, enlightenment, maybe when will you realize it?" Qi Ling said happily.
"Well, you're right, but you can't rush this matter, just let it take its course!"
Feng Shixiu has been put in a special container by Gu Zheng, and will be taken away by Liu Yunzi later. Afterwards, Gu Zheng started to process the ingredients for making Iron Armor Shixiu.
Just like Feng Shixiu, the Iron Armor Food Cultivator's ancient battle was also very 'fabricated'. Two Iron Armor Food Cultivators allowed him to harvest a lot of ingredients.
Two kinds of food repairs, two portions of each kind. It didn't take long for Gu Zheng to deliver the goods. Liu Yunzi and Han Shanzi didn't stay in Emei for long. They left in a hurry with the prepared food repairs. Kunlun Market was about to open, and they
Two kinds of food cultivators are to be given to the two disciples who enter Kunlun Ruins.
On the third day after Liu Yunzi left, disciples from the Shushan sect came as promised. There were twelve disciples in total, including three that Gu Zheng had seen in the Shu Ruins. The leader was an elder from the Shushan sect.
.
In addition to bringing people here, Elder Shushan also brought some materials needed to repair the Chaos Tower to Gu Zheng.
There are many materials needed to repair the Chaos Tower. They are all required: cloud pattern red copper, dragon scale gold yuan, Qinggang black iron, Bailian steel, black jade silver, deep sea soft gold, space stone, warm jade crystal, dark ancient wood,
Blood maple core, cold-scented pine wood, some refining materials produced by spirit demons, earth demons, mysterious demons, and celestial demons, several fairy weapons, and the special refining material golden spirit gas.
Among these materials, the weapon spirit lacks only four kinds, namely: dragon scale gold element, warm jade crystal, blood maple tree core and golden spirit energy.
Wen Yu Crystal Gu Zheng had already obtained it from Ouyang Hai, and among the large amount of materials brought by Shushan this time, in addition to a few fairy artifacts that surprised Gu Zheng, there was also a sufficient amount of Dragon Scale Gold
Yuan!
I sent several immortal artifacts to Gu Zheng. It’s not that there are so many immortal artifacts in Shushan that there is no place to use them, but that these immortal artifacts are all left by our ancestors and have been damaged beyond repair. However, such immortal artifacts
, although it is somewhat reluctant to be used to repair the Chaos Tower, it can still be considered useful.
Arrangements were made for Shushan disciples to enter the Chaos Tower to practice, and Gu Zheng also handed over the materials to Jiaojiao.
"I didn't expect that the master could get so many materials in such a short period of time. This is really great. I can start the preliminary restoration."
The materials sent by the Shushan Sect have been placed in the Chaos Tower, and Jiaojiao looked particularly happy.
"Don't just be happy. The Shushan Sect can send so many materials this time, which means that it will be done once and for all. It will be difficult to get materials from them when repairing the Chaos Tower in the future. The most they can do is help.
Collect some information."
It is not unreasonable for Gu Zheng to say this. After all, Elder Shushan told Gu Zheng a piece of news when he handed the materials to Gu Zheng. Elder Shushan said that a family named Zhao outside Mount Emei owned the dark-stained ancient wood used to repair the Chaos Tower.
Let Gu Zheng go there and have a look.
If Shushan didn't want to solve the problem once and for all, then they should personally come forward for things like this where they already knew the clues! But the fact is that they came all the way to bring the news to Gu Zheng and let Gu Zheng go find it.
, and also euphemistically said that the family named Zhao is at the foot of Mount Emei. If Gu Zheng, the head of Emei, goes there, things will go more smoothly.
Although Gu Zheng is the head of Emei Mountain, he doesn't know much about the people or things around Mount Emei. What's more, Emei is also a reclusive sect, let alone Gu Zheng, the leader who became a monk halfway, even Wuyou and Wuyou
, and they have no friendship with the people at the foot of the mountain.
"Master, don't worry, they won't go out of their way to help. I have plenty of ways to deal with them. Aren't they using the 'Energy Battlefield' now? I can make the dummies in the 'Energy Battlefield' weaker! Later, the nine-story tower was repaired, and the new
I will also weaken the 'Energy Battlefield'." After hearing what Gu Zheng said, Jiaojiao said bitterly.
"It's up to you to take care of this! By the way, Jiaojiao, the primary repair you mentioned, is there any benefit after repairing it?" Gu Zheng asked.
"There are no intuitive benefits for the master, but for me, there are. After the primary repair is completed, the appearance of the nine-story tower will undergo some changes, and my control over the nine-story tower will also become stronger." Jiaojiao said.
"I will leave Emei tomorrow. Then I will go to the house at the foot of the mountain to see if I can buy ancient dark wood, and then return to the city. As for the materials used to repair the Chaos Tower, I will save some.
Delivered to you."
There is nothing going on in Emei now, and Gu Zheng really wants to return to the city.
"Master, you won't be able to return to the city in a short time!" Jiaojiao said regretfully.
"Why?" Gu Zheng asked.
"You are the master of the Chaos Tower. Repairing the Chaos Tower requires some of your blood and immortal power, so you must stay in the Emei Sect during this period and cooperate with my repairs."
After listening to Jiaojiao's explanation, Gu Zheng nodded. Since it was necessary to repair the Chaos Tower, he could only stay for a while.
"Jiaojiao, how long are you talking about?"
"About two months, the repair process will not be very fast." Jiaojiao paused, and then said: "Actually, the master does not need to stay in the Emei Sect every day, and the master's blood and immortal power are needed.
In a specific period of time. Moreover, in the subsequent repair process, sometimes the master's blood and immortal power will not be needed, but this time will not exceed two days at most. If the master really wants to return to the city,
As long as I can come back in time, that’ll be fine.”
"Forget it, this is very troublesome! If you want to go back to the city, you just want to change the environment and stay for a while, running back and forth. This doesn't feel good."
"Since the master has decided to stay in Emei, I will start repairing the tower now. When I need to use the master's blood or immortal power, I will inform the master that the master will stay in the tower during this period!"
"Okay, go about your business!"
After Gu Zheng finished speaking, Jiaojiao responded and immediately got into the core of the Chaos Tower.
The core of the twenty-two-story tower is a headless and faceless statue of chaos on the wall of the tower. When the light ball representing the horns enters the statue of chaos, a gray mist immediately bursts out from the statue.
The mist covered the materials originally placed on the ground, and then turned into a whirlwind that kept spinning. The materials in the whirlwind, those that were not strong enough, showed signs of turning into powder in an instant.
Gu Zheng looked at it for a while and realized that this was a decomposition process, so he closed his eyes and started practicing.
Unknowingly, four hours passed. When Gu Zheng opened his eyes, the whirlwind was still spinning, but the things inside, including the strongest immortal weapon, had been turned into powder.
"Master has finished his training, and now he needs his blood and immortal power." Jiaojiao's voice sounded.
"What do you want me to do?" Gu Zheng asked.
"The powder will all enter the core later. The master will drip the blood on the statue, and then input the immortal power into the statue."
As Jiaojiao's words fell to the ground, the whirlwind formed by the mist suddenly disappeared. The dust floating in the air was attracted by the core statue and penetrated into the interior of the core statue like a swarm of bees.
"That's it now."
Jiaojiao reminded him, and Gu Zheng, who was well prepared, immediately forced blood out of his fingertips and pressed it on the Chaos Statue.
The Chaos Statue with a smooth surface and no cracks can not only absorb dust, but also the blood of Guzheng. This kind of absorption is like being sucked by someone's mouth.
"Master, don't panic. I need more of your blood the first time, and less will be needed in the future." Jiaojiao said.
After sucking for about a minute, the suction force from the core statue disappeared.
"Master, input the immortal power into it. There is no need to input it violently. The water will flow slowly."
Jiaojiao's voice sounded again, and Gu Zheng condensed the immortal power into a thin stream and slowly input it into the Chaos Statue.
One minute.
Ten minutes.
One hour.
Gu Zheng, who stayed in the pagoda, didn't see anything. However, the Emei disciples outside the pagoda looked at the Emei pagoda one by one and started talking about it.
"Is it my imagination? The color of the nine-story tower is changing!"
"No, this is not your illusion. The color of the nine-story tower is indeed changing. It seems that it is going to return to its original color!"
"What's going on?"
"I heard that the Supreme Elder is repairing the Emei Pagoda. This may be due to the repair!"
"It is said that after the nine-story tower is repaired, a new 'energy battlefield' will appear. I'm really looking forward to it!"
"If you don't even practice cultivation, why are you talking about it here?"
"Go back and practice!"
While the disciples in Emei were discussing in a lively manner, two elders Wuyou and Wuyou who also appeared strange rushed to the pagoda and drove all the disciples who were discussing back to practice.
"Master, it's okay, I don't need any more immortal power today." An hour and a half later, Jiaojiao's voice sounded.
"When is the next input?"
Although the immortal power was output for an hour and a half, Gu Zheng did not feel strenuous because it was condensed into a thin stream.
"The next input will be at this time tomorrow. As for the time, it will be shortened. In the future, every time I input Xianli, as long as there is no change in time, it will be at this time." Jiaojiao said.
"Okay, then I'll come back tomorrow."
Gu Zheng left the Chaos Tower and stood outside the tower for a while. He saw that the original blood-red nine-story tower had become a lot lighter in color, and some places had even revealed its original color, giving it a mottled look.
Feel.
"Master, is this because Emei Pagoda has been repaired?" asked Elder Wuyou, who had been staying outside the tower since the abnormality was discovered.
"Yes, but this is the most basic repair." Gu Zheng said.
"I hope the restoration can be completed as soon as possible. The integrated twenty-two-story tower will look even more majestic!" Elder Wuchou said with a smile.
"Second Elder, come with me to the foot of the mountain!"
Gu Zheng thought of the matter about Wuchen Gumu. Anyway, there is still some time before the next input of immortal power, so he might as well take this opportunity to deal with this matter.
"Master, let me go with you!" Elder Wuyou said.
"No need, just practice well in the sect, and the second elder can come with me."
Originally, Gu Zheng wanted Elder Wuyou to follow him, but Elder Wuyou had only just advanced to become an immortal cultivator, and it still took time to stabilize his realm, so he chose Elder Wuyou.
Seeing Gu Zheng's resolute attitude, Elder Wuyou didn't insist anymore: "After you go down the mountain with the leader, you should restrain your impatience and don't do any harm to the leader."
There is actually a reason why Wuyou warned Wuyou like this. After getting the news about Wuchen Ancient Wood, Elder Wuyou had already sent someone to the Zhao family. However, the Zhao family not only denied owning Wuchen Ancient Wood, but also
He was also very rude in his words.
"knew."
Elder Wuyou responded and stuck out his tongue at Elder Wuyou, as if he was an old naughty boy. From the beginning to now, the two of them rarely work separately, but every time they separate, Elder Wuyou must
Listen to Elder Wuyou's advice! Although there are not many opportunities to be warned, after all, they have been together for decades, and his ears are almost getting calloused.
Compared with the Emei sect in the mountains, the place where the Zhao family is located is considered to be outside the mountains, but compared with the real village outside the mountains, the Zhao family is a villa in the mountains.
The architectural style of the villa is very retro, and the plaque on the door has the two characters "Zhao Mansion" engraved on it.
Gu Zheng and Elder Wuchou were both cultivators. They came from the sect to the door of the Zhao family. Although they had to travel through mountains and rivers, it did not take much time.
After Elder Wuchou knocked on the door, an old man who looked about the same age as Elder Wuchou and wore a gray gown poked his head out from behind the door.
"What are you doing?" the old man looked at Gu Zheng and Elder Wuchou for a while, and said in a loud voice.
Elder Wuchou didn't notice anything strange, but the voice of the weapon spirit sounded in Gu Zheng's mind.
"This is an inner strength cultivator, at the early stage of the third level of cultivation."
Gu Zheng frowned slightly. He originally thought that the Zhao family was a wealthy family, but now it seems that is not the case. The old man in front of him is dressed very much like a servant from a wealthy family in the old society. A building
In an expensive villa deep in the mountains, a cultivator with a third level of inner strength came out to open the door. The owner of the Zhao Mansion should have some background!
"We came to you to make a deal. I heard that you have ancient dark wood at home?"
Elder Wuchou had a kind smile on his face, but it seemed that because he spoke too abruptly, his smile also seemed a little malicious.
"Two young men also came to Zhao's Mansion two days ago to say they wanted to buy some dark-stained ancient wood. Are you together?" The old man smiled coldly.
"Has anyone come to buy the ancient black-chen wood in the past two days? It seems that the news leaked out very quickly! Old friend, you'd better sell the ancient black-chen wood in your home, otherwise you won't be peaceful living in the mountains!"
Elder Wuchou had an expression of "I'm doing it for you". As for the two young men the old man mentioned, they were naturally the Emei disciples who had been rejected here.
