If it were changed before, Gu Zheng would have to wait for the weapon spirit to remind him before he knew that turtle shells could be used to make armor.
But things are different now. Gu Zheng has understood the way of food and drink, and he can see the extraordinaryness of the turtle shell at a glance. However, in terms of knowledge, Gu Zheng is still not as good as Qi Ling. There is nothing he can do about it. After all, he
Only in his twenties.
"Weapon Spirit, is the turtle that made this magical weapon really a turtle? The ingredient grade of the turtle shell can still be maintained at excellent quality!" Gu Zheng asked.
They have all been refined into immortal weapons, and the ingredient level of the turtle shell can still be maintained at an excellent level. This is a very rare thing.
However, it is a pity that when it was worn on Lu Qi's body, the turtle shell was enlarged, and after the explosion, it returned to its original size. Gu Zheng collected the fragments found,
Put together, it's only about the size of a palm, barely enough to make an armored meal.
"This turtle is so small, but the grade of the ingredients after being refined into an immortal weapon can still remain at the excellent level. Then there is only one possibility. This turtle has the bloodline of the mythical beast Xuanwu, and the purity of the bloodline is still high.
Not low." Qi Ling said.
Gu Zheng nodded and began to prepare the cooking for Iron Armored Food Cultivator.
One high-quality main ingredient, plus six medium-level auxiliary ingredients, this is the formula for top-grade iron armor food repair.
Gu Zheng picked out the accessories from the ancient space and couldn't help but think of the iron armor food repair he made for the first time.
At that time, we were still in the ruins of Shu, and we spent a lot of time fighting to obtain the tortoise shells of the earth turtles, the main ingredient for cooking armored food.
At that time, even an ordinary-level ingredient could make Gu Zheng extremely happy. Now that he got medium-level ingredients, Gu Zheng was already numb.
"Qi Ling, is it true that food cultivation is only divided into upper, middle and lower grades?"
In the past, there were few resources and low levels of cultivation. Gu Zheng had never asked this question, but now we have to make high-grade armored food, and the main ingredients used are only of excellent grade! If we use high-grade ingredients as the main ingredients, we must make them of excellent grade.
Supplementary materials, can the level of food cultivation be broken through? Based on the ancient and current knowledge, he feels that it is definitely possible!
"Of course there are not only upper, middle and lower grades. I told you before that there are only upper, middle and lower grades. That's because your cultivation level is still low. Even ordinary-level ingredients are very scarce for you. It's useless to tell you, so I will
Let me tell you. In fact, there is immortal food cultivation on top of high-grade food cultivation. However, the cooking of immortal food cultivation is easy to fail, and Lord Tiexian did not leave the recipe for immortal food cultivation. This will have to wait until you have it.
If you have enough resources, you can try out the Immortal Food Cultivator cooking by yourself." Qi Ling said.
"Judging from the current situation, the cultivation of culinary immortals is still far away for me!"
Gu Zheng smiled, and then started to process the auxiliary ingredients, roasting what should be roasted, roasting what should be roasted, and steaming what should be steamed.
The so-called main ingredient does not refer to the one that occupies the most weight in a dish. The so-called auxiliary ingredients usually have different levels of importance.
In addition to the main ingredients, the meat of long-tongued beasts is also used the most in the auxiliary ingredients for the top-grade iron armor food repair that Gu Zheng made this time. As for the other five auxiliary ingredients, they are all flowers, namely: Night Bright Flower, Meiji Flower Purple
Fireworks, fire phoenix orchids, including the fairy dew you just got from Luqi's storage belt.
"Sir, does this food cultivation also have a very fragrant form?"
When Meow Meow asked, his stomach growled unsatisfactorily.
This will be the second high-grade food repair that Gu Zheng has made in one day. The high-grade fairy fruit food repair he made before has already made Meow hungry.
"Not all food cultivators will transform into extremely fragrant forms when they reach the highest level, but this time, because of the materials used in the armored food cultivators, I predict that there will be extremely fragrant transformations."
Gu Zheng paused, then smiled and said, "That's right, I haven't let you, a greedy little cat, eat for a whole day."
"hey-hey."
Miaomiao stuck out her tongue at Gu Zheng, intending to ask Gu Zheng to do something to give her a teething gift, but now that the occasion was not right, it was not easy for her to speak.
"I'll make you some omelettes first to fill your belly. When we get out of the treasure, I'll make you a delicious meal!" Gu Zheng said.
"Thank you, sir!"
"You have spoiled her!"
Miao Miao's thanks and Qi Ling's complaints sounded almost at the same time, while Gu Zheng laughed: "It's okay, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers! What's more, a few fried eggs won't take long."
Light the fire, set up the pot, pour the oil, beat the eggs, and the aroma will rise.
Gu Zheng can now make omelettes even faster, and his smooth and fluent appearance is even more elegant than the Tie Xian omelettes he saw when he inherited the omelette cooking skills.
Miao Miao was already eating her omelette happily, and Gu Zheng also started cooking his armored food.
In the past, almost all the techniques used by Gu Zheng to make food repairs were stew. This does not mean that the method of making food repairs can only be accomplished by stewing, but that he is not in a good state, or he does not have the mood or time to make food repairs.'
Color' also becomes more prominent.
Compared with the stewing of cooking food repair in the past, the cooking process of this time's iron armor food repair is much more complicated. And Gu Zheng also decided to make some bold attempts in this time's food repair, according to his understanding of Tao
Understand, make some changes to Iron Armor Food Cultivation.
After the tortoise shell was roasted and ground into powder, Gu Zheng put the powder together with the beautiful flower, purple flame flower, and fire phoenix orchid into the clay pot.
The Fire Control Technique, Water Control Technique, and Wood Control Technique were used together, and the earth veins in the clay pot gushed out. Under the full force of Gu Zheng, the ingredients wrapped around it began to roll rapidly.
Many times in the past, while the soup was cooking, Gu Zheng would often do other things, such as stir-fry or something.
But this time, Gu Zheng was just concentrating on cooking a pot of soup! There was no other reason for this, because even with Gu Zheng's current cultivation level, it would still take ten minutes, and the remaining steps of Iron Armor Food Cultivation
The process only takes three minutes.
Eight minutes later, the aroma in the clay pot, which originally had only a faint aroma, began to become richer. The tortoise shells that had been ground into powder when viewed from the inside were finally completely integrated into the soup under the stimulation of Gu Zheng's magic.
"Sir, listening to the sound in the clay pot, it seems that there is not much soup left!"
After much hesitation, Miaomiao finally couldn't help but ask.
"The soup in the clay pot is only a part of cooking, so it can't be a lot like drinking soup. There are still two minutes left. After two minutes, the soup in the clay pot will be so small that it can't even cover the ingredients.
situation."
Gu Zheng smiled slightly and stopped using the Wood Controlling Technique. As for the Fire Controlling Technique and the Water Controlling Technique, they also became softer, and the tumbling range of the soup in the clay pot suddenly became much smaller.
Two minutes later, the soup was almost ready, and Gu Zheng began the next step of cooking.
Chop the preliminarily processed long-tongued animal meat into diced meat mixed with Luminous Flowers, and then use chopsticks to quickly stir the diced meat with salt while using the Water Control Technique. When the two ingredients are still raw, the preliminary process is completed.
fusion.
Put oil in the pot. After the oil is hot, Gu Zheng puts the diced meat into the pot and stir-fries. The alluring aroma reaches a small peak at this time. Meow Meow, who has already finished the fried eggs, can't help but swallow again.
Drooling.
"It's a pity that there aren't many ingredients, otherwise I could make one for you." Gu Zheng said with a smile.
The main ingredients for making armored food are very scarce. Even though Gu Zheng already has a lot of ordinary and medium-level ingredients, if he hadn't obtained Lu Qi's tortoise shell today, the armored food he could cook would still be of low quality.
As a demon cultivator, Miaomiao's own body is also very strong, and the low-grade iron-armored food cultivator without permanent increase can really have little effect on her.
"It's okay, sir, just eat it and you'll be fine."
Miao Miao stuck out her tongue, tried hard to take her eyes away from the pot, and turned her back to stop watching Gu Zheng's cooking.
The diced meat in the pot has been fried, Gu Zheng took it out and put it on a plate, put the rinsed Xianlu Youtan on top, poured all the almost dry soup in the clay pot into the plate, and finally
The lid was placed on the plate and the magic was performed again.
Hearing the sound of Gu Zheng taking the food out of the pot, Miao Miao, who had just turned around, couldn't help but turn around again and curiously looked at what Gu Zheng would do next.
Under the invisible lid, the original stir-fried diced pork and Xianlu Youtan are absorbing the soup crazily, and are changing their original randomly placed postures. They are either taking shape or glowing with new colors.
During this process, the fragrance became unprecedentedly rich and charming, and even Gu Zheng couldn't help but take a few deep sniffs.
The time from putting the lid on the plate to opening the lid is less than thirty seconds.
"Wow!"
The moment the lid was opened, Meow couldn't help but exclaimed.
First of all, because the fragrance was so charming, Meow Meow had forgotten about the extremely fragrant transformation. After the lid was opened, Meow Meow discovered that the extremely fragrant transformation she had forgotten was actually inside the lid.
Presented!
Secondly, this time the Iron Armor Food Cultivation, in terms of ‘color’, was simply brilliant, Miaomiao felt that she had never seen such beautiful food!
"Sir, this, this,"
Miao Miao's eyes widened, but she couldn't find the right words to describe this food practice.
"It looks like a painting, but it's not a painting, right?" Gu Zheng smiled.
"Yes, yes! That's what it feels like!"
There were little stars in Miao Miao's eyes. Even though this armored food cultivator had no share in her, it didn't stop her from feeling like she couldn't bear to eat her chopsticks.
The diced meat turned into the shape of two hills under the magical power of "gathering sand to form a tower", and because the diced meat was mixed with luminous flowers, the two hills glowed slightly. Although there was little clear soup, it was
But it flows between two hills like a river.
The Meiji flower, purple flame flower and fire phoenix orchid originally used to make soup were not boiled in the soup. They not only retained their previous shapes, but also burst out after absorbing some of each other's essence and the tortoise shell essence.
The colors are more vivid than before. They are scattered in the open space on the plate, contrasting with the mountains and rivers.
The fairy dew you added last is blooming on the top of the hill. After absorbing the essence of many ingredients, its original pure white color becomes a little crystal clear, and some stars attached to it light up.
The light also makes it appear more ethereal.
The most wonderful thing about this top-grade iron-clad dish is the little long-tongued beast that is transformed into a "extremely fragrant" form. Like a pangolin, it forms a ball, sometimes rolling on the plate, and sometimes crossing the mountain.
The steps look so lifelike.
“You put a lot of thought into this dish!”
In the inner view, Qi Ling's white and tender little hands patted her, and she applauded Gu Zheng, with a proud smile on her face.
"Although I knew that the effect of the modeling would be good, the final 'extremely fragrant transformation' turned out to be so vivid, which was beyond my expectation." Gu Zheng said sincerely.
Among the methods of iron armor food cultivation passed down by Tiexian, the cooking steps of top-grade iron armor food cultivation are also more complicated, but the final shape after coming out of the pot will look like ordinary stir-fry dishes, rather than the 'paintings' of ancient times and today.
painting'.
Due to the fact that his understanding of Tao is not as deep as that of Tiexian, and the ingredients are also rare, Gu Zheng is not allowed to follow his own ideas! Gu Zheng can only add a little creativity of his own on the basis of the original food cultivation method.
Make 'fragrance' look more perfect.
In the original food cultivation method, if meat is used as an ingredient, the meat should be shredded. As for the remaining five kinds of exotic flowers, according to their own characteristics, the beauty flower, the purple flame flower, and the fire phoenix orchid must be the same.
The turtle shell powder is used to make the soup. As for the remaining Luminous Flowers, they need to be broken into petals and stir-fried with the shredded meat. The final fairy dew should be simmered in the soup.
From the perspective of cooking methods, the changes made by Gu Zheng are not big, but in fact it is already a very big change! The food cultivation method passed down by Tiexian contains the Tao, and even a slight change may have the same effect as the original
Deviation occurred, which was a problem Gu Zheng encountered when he first tried to change his diet after he understood it.
Some time has passed since he understood the Tao, and Gu Zheng's understanding of the Tao is deeper than before. While he wants to make changes, he also knows that he can indeed make some changes!
However, what changes and improves is not the effect, but the 'color' of this iron-armored food repair.
In order for Gu Zheng to achieve the 'color' he wanted while still maintaining the effect that a top-grade iron armor food repairer should have, he spent a lot of effort and thought on cooking, and finally achieved it.
The color change effect remains unchanged'.
Gu Zheng's "color change effect remains unchanged" may sound useless, but in fact it is the application and understanding of Tao that is changing, and it is actually reflected! This is also a demanding weapon spirit, and I will applaud him
The reason is.
"Actually, the food cultivation method passed down by Master Tiexian leaves room for change, and this room can only be discovered or perfected when your realm reaches a certain level."
"The iron armor food repair you did this time is very good. I believe you also discovered something I didn't tell you before."
"Whether it is a dish or a food practice, there is a saying of 'color, fragrance, and flavor.' And Tao is everywhere, so naturally it is not limited to taste, or in other words, effects."
"You have already seen the way of fragrance, and now you understand it even more profoundly. 'Extreme fragrance takes form' is the manifestation of the way of fragrance."
"After you have understood the way of food and drink, you must have understood the presentation of the Tao of 'color', but today is the first time you have done it!"
"It is precisely because the 'color' has reached the extreme and is full of Tao, which has affected the 'fragrance', making the original 'extreme fragrance into form' possess advanced agility, and also made the original taste have a breakthrough.
!So, the high-grade iron armor food cultivation method you made is more effective than the method taught to you by Lord Tiexian!"
"I believe that after this Iron Armor Food Cultivation production, you will have a deeper understanding of the way of food and drink."
"To be honest, you were able to make such a breakthrough in the food cultivation method left by Lord Tie Xian, much earlier than I expected. I thought that by the time you could achieve this step, your realm would have already reached a certain level.
Dajinxian!"
Qi Ling said a lot, looking at Gu Zheng inwardly, her pretty face almost burst into laughter.
"Yes! Tao generates one, one generates two, two generates three, and three generates all things. The color, fragrance, and fragrance influence each other, and finally have an effect that goes beyond the original. Isn't this not the Tao?" Gu Zheng murmured.
"Ahem."
Looking inside, Qi Ling cleared his throat, and the expression on his face became solemn.
"Contribute to the successors of Tiexian and complete the growth mission of food cultivation breakthrough!"
"Reward: two hundred medium-level Xianyuan Pills."
"Reward: One Earth Spirit Pill."
"Reward: ten catties of cloud-patterned red copper and twenty catties of black jade silver."
"Reward: three kilograms of earth spirit sand, two pieces of Xuanyin stone, and one piece of phoenix blood wood."
When Qi Ling finished speaking, his eyes widened when he saw Gu Zheng, and he couldn't help but said angrily: "You're stupid, aren't you? I don't want these rewards, I'm going to take them back!"
"Yes, yes, who said I don't want it anymore!" Gu Zheng laughed: "It's just that I didn't expect that this trouble-free attempt would actually yield such additional gains!"
Gu Zheng is really happy, and the harvest this time is really great.
Two hundred medium-level Xianyuan Pills, this reward is very generous, enough to cook two Danyuan Food Cultivators!
"Item Spirit, when I advanced to become an Immortal Cultivator, you only rewarded me with a hundred medium-level Immortal Essence Pills, and now you have given me two hundred. You are so kind!"
Looking at the reward happily, he never forgets to praise the spirit of the weapon.
"This is not my fault. This is something that Lord Tiexian is destined to die for! You can make a breakthrough in the food cultivation method left by Lord Tiexian. In a sense, this is more rare than becoming an immortal cultivator."
Qi Ling was a little embarrassed, and with a red face, she spoke again: "What I did for you was just to replace some less useful rewards with the materials you are in urgent need of."
"With these ten kilograms of cloud-patterned red copper and twenty kilograms of black jade and silver, I have gathered all the materials to repair the Chaos Tower, except for the blood maple tree core and golden spirit energy!" Gu Zheng said with emotion.
Although sooner or later, you can complete tasks and get enough cloud pattern red copper and black jade silver from the weapon spirit, but now you can get it all at once, which is still a very happy thing.
"By the way, what are the three other reward materials?" Gu Zheng asked again.
"The other nine-story tower of the Chaos Tower has been confirmed to be at the Black Sky Snail Sect. After the Tianluo Cave incident, you have to retrieve the nine-story tower. And the new nine-story tower will definitely need to be repaired. According to my guess,
Earth Spirit Sand, Xuanyin Stone, and Phoenix Blood Wood will all be used for repair, and I will reward you in advance if you use them!" Qi Ling said with a smile.
"So good!"
Gu Zheng laughed and wanted to touch Qi Ling's hair, but unfortunately he couldn't. Qi Ling glared at him fiercely and deliberately said with a straight face: "Hurry up and read the rewards, eat your food and practice."
Bar!"
"It's okay. It won't waste much time. It doesn't matter if you eat late!"
Gu Zheng chuckled and took out the fragrant Earth Spirit Pill from the ancient space: "This small pill is a good thing that can upgrade the Earth Control Technique to a high-level one!"
"Yes! If you hadn't completed the test of 'Breakthrough in Food Cultivation', it would not have been easy to obtain the Earth Spirit Pill." Qi Ling said with a smile.
