The further the cultivation level goes, the greater the gap between one period will be. Unless one has the ability to fight at a higher level, otherwise one period will be an insurmountable gap.
In fact, let alone one period, even if it is half a period, the gap is still insurmountable.
Just like the peak of returning to the void, this special stage, although it still belongs to the category of the late stage of returning to the void, it has completed the late stage of returning to the void and is just one step short of breakthrough! Therefore, people at the stage of the peak of returning to the void
, only then can one be able to defeat the average late-stage Void Return masters, and only then can they become top beings like Ouyang Hai, Wei Fengxing, and Master Xinjing.
As for Gu Zhenglao, he no longer cares about revealing his strength, and he no longer needs to be secretive.
"Gu, Master Gu, I came to Wufeng Island to ask you to become a food cultivator, a top-grade Yuan-increasing food cultivator!"
Nan Yichen stuttered a bit when he spoke, and was even afraid of being angry. After saying that he was doing food cultivation, he added that he was doing top-grade food cultivation to increase energy.
There is only one reason why Nan Yichen is so scared, and that is Gu Zheng's strength. Nan Yichen now has no doubt that Gu Zheng's anger will make him unable to see the sunshine of tomorrow.
"Jixiang Xiaozhu will not do your business today. This is your punishment for causing trouble within a hundred miles outside the Immortal Formation of Wufeng Island! If something like this happens again, Jixiang Xiaozhu will never do anything."
Not doing your business!"
What Gu Zheng said was also something he wanted people to spread, so as to prevent trouble from happening again in the future. However, it was still outside the Immortal Formation of Wufeng Island to protect the island. Do you care about this kind of thing or not?
Seeing that Gu Zheng didn't even need to do business, Nan Yichen said nothing more and glanced at his subordinates, and the three of them gradually disappeared from the sight of Gu Zheng and the others.
Seeing that Nan Yichen and the others had already left, Master Yunhai was still a little absent-minded. Gu Zheng couldn't help but asked: "Master, are you okay? What are you thinking about? Are you thinking about how to bring trouble on them?"
"I didn't think anything of it!" Master Yunhai said hurriedly: "How can we try to bring bad luck to them again? The ancient leader has already made a decision, so this matter is over."
Master Yunhai's attitude towards Gu Zheng has undergone a 180-degree change. When he came to Wufeng Island before, at most he regarded Gu Zheng as an equal, but now when he talks to Gu Zheng, the smile on his face is
It's like looking at an elder.
"Are you still satisfied with letting them go like this?" Gu Zheng said lightly.
"Satisfied, how can I be dissatisfied! If it hadn't been for Sect Master Gu's intervention today, Pindao would have been in trouble today." Master Yunhai smiled bitterly.
Without saying anything else, Master Yunhai followed Gu Zheng back to Wufeng Island.
This time, Master Yunhai didn't worry about the resources anymore. He ordered six more dishes and two pots of fairy wine to entertain Gu Zheng.
The dishes at Jixiang Xiaozhu are clearly marked with prices, and it is impossible for Gu Zheng to make any discounts just because Master Yunhai invited him.
First, Taoist Priest Yuyan placed the order, and then Master Yunhai placed the order. These two people from the Taishan Sect contributed two qualified orders to Gu Zheng today.
After Master Yunhai left, Lian Yuxin once asked Gu Zheng whether he thought Nan Yichen would come to Jixiang Xiaozhu again.
Gu Zheng's answer was definitely. He felt that Nan Yichen would come. As for why he was so sure, the reason was actually very simple. A person who wanted to cultivate high-quality food and increase energy would not stop coming just because he lost face. What's more,
Gu Zheng's cultivation level is higher than his, so losing face in front of such a person is nothing at all.
The next day, Nan Yichen came over early in the morning. He was always well-behaved. After Gu Zheng made him a top-grade Yuan-increasing food repair and dripped his blood, he left Jixiang with him.
Small building.
When leaving, Nan Yichen also said that he would bring a fellow Taoist over in a while and he would try the food cooked by Guzheng. It was okay that time was a bit tight this time.
Time passed by unconsciously, and a few days passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past few days, the most people who visited Jixiang Xiaozhu were still the original residents of the earth. As for those who came out of the prehistoric times, there were also four people who came to Guzheng's Xianchu restaurant.
In the past few days, the second "Operation Demon Slayer" has been launched.
Moreover, Gu Zheng's true cultivation level, as well as the previous incident outside the island-protecting immortal formation, were spread from Taoist Priest Yuyan's mouth, and the entire cultivation world was shocked.
After Xuan Qizi learned about this incident, he flew thousands of miles to Wufeng Island with his spiritual thoughts and scolded Gu Zheng, saying that he was suffering from being a barbarian.
However, Xuan Qizi's so-called scolding was actually a sign of joy! After all, Gu Zheng's advanced cultivation is also a blessing for the Shushan lineage.
After Taoist Priest Yuyan's leak, Wufeng Island's status in the cultivation world has become more important, and Emei's name has become more famous.
"It has been exactly one month since you received the task of 'Xianchu Restaurant Small Trial' today. The number of qualified orders you have completed is thirty-five in total! If you can keep up, you will definitely be able to complete the task this month.
." Qi Ling made a report to Gu Zheng.
"Don't worry! I feel like I can definitely finish it."
Gu Zheng smiled confidently. After all, there were some repeat customers who were attracted by his taste during this period. He couldn't believe that he wouldn't be able to complete one order every day in the next month.
While Gu Zheng was talking to Qi Ling, Nan Yichen, who was thousands of miles away in the Blood Qi Gate and was listening to the gatekeeper's report on the 'Operation Demon Extermination', suddenly frowned.
The Blood Qi Sect did not have a mountain-guarding immortal formation, so a spiritual thought swept into the sect unimpeded, and it remained in a posture of not leaving.
"Who is probing my blood valve?"
Although Nan Yichen didn't say anything, his questioning voice didn't bring much anger.
After experiencing the incident in the waters of Wufeng Island, Nan Yichen has restrained himself a lot, and no longer dares to think that he is an immortal cultivator in the early stage of returning to the void, and that he is great on earth.
"We haven't seen each other for just a few months. Why does it look like Xiaoyou Nan is a different person? This is not like the Xiaoyou Nan I knew before!"
The old voice sounded in Nan Yichen's mind, making him look happy and quickly fly out of the sect.
"Yichen has met senior. When did senior escape from the wilderness?"
On a large mountain outside the Qixue Gate, Nan Yichen saluted an old man with gray hair.
"I have been out for more than a month. I have been recovering from my injuries for a while, and I have just recovered recently."
The old man turned around, his face was slightly thin and clean, and his moon-white robe was spotless.
"Tell me, what's going on with you? How did I hear the news that you were bullied?" The old man looked at Nan Yichen with a half-smile.
"Why."
Nan Yichen sighed and began to tell the old man some things that happened after he escaped from the wilderness.
The old man's name is Bai Xinghui, and his cultivation is in the late stage of returning to the void. When he was in the wilderness, he and Nan Yichen were both casual cultivators, and the exercises they practiced were all related to Qi and blood, so the relationship between the two was very good.
"I heard that the Emei Sect has been really popular recently!"
After listening to Nan Yichen's story, Bai Xinghui sneered.
"Indeed, there are many immortal cultivators, and one of them is at the peak of returning to the void. In addition, their leader is an immortal chef, so the limelight is indeed very strong!" Nan Yichen said.
"However, no matter what, when he bullied you outside Wufeng Island, it was indeed a bit excessive." Bai Xinghui said.
Nan Yichen frowned. He felt that Bai Xinghui seemed to be planning to stand up for him, so he quickly said: "Forget it, senior! After all, what happened that time was caused by the people here who started the trouble."
"When did you become so afraid of trouble? This is not your style!"
Bai Xinghui paused, then continued: "Who do you think we were afraid of when we were practicing casual cultivators? Is it because you became the supreme elder of this small sect, so you became a little worried about gains and losses?"
"It's not that I'm afraid of anyone, it's just that the matter itself is unreasonable, not to mention there is no need to stir up any trouble just because of a trivial matter. You must know that Emei is a branch of Shushan, and it is an important sect in the righteous way.
He didn't just provoke a sect." Nan Yichen said.
white
Because you are being bullied."
"Actually, Gu Zheng is a pretty good guy. I went to work as a food cultivator with him, and I feel like he is the kind of person who is easy to get along with as long as you don't mess with him." Nan Yichen said.
"You are going to give him money, what's the point of him keeping a cold face? Don't worry, I won't make the matter a big deal, I just went to him to compare my cooking skills!" Bai Xinghui sneered.
"Comparing cooking skills?" Nan Yichen's eyes lit up and he said, "Senior, if you don't tell me, I forgot. I used to help you at the Xianchu restaurant, right?"
"What does it mean to have helped? The old chef at Juxiang House saw that I had the talent to learn cooking and really wanted to recruit me as his apprentice! But you also know that I can't stay in one place.
The Immortal Chef has to guard the Immortal Chef's shop, so I didn't learn much." Bai Xinghui said.
"Since senior hasn't learned much, how can he compete with Gu Zheng on cooking skills?" Nan Yichen shook his head.
"I haven't learned that much, but I have learned a specialty dish. Can't Jixiang Xiaozhu customize the dish? I will customize my specialty dish and save some face for you." Bai Xinghui said with a smile.
"Senior, do you really want to do this?" Nan Yichen hesitated.
"Boy, why are you such a mother-in-law now? This matter is decided like this. As for the details, I have my own discretion." Bai Xinghui pretended to be angry.
"Okay, now that senior has decided, when will we go to Jixiang Xiaozhu?" Nan Yichen asked.
"You don't have to go with me. I can go alone. After all, you have a holiday with him. It's not convenient for the two of us to go together."
Bai Xinghui paused for a moment, then forced blood out of his fingertips, stretched out his hand and drew a line on Nan Yichen's body in the void, and a bloody mark appeared.
"With this 'blood mark' here, you will be able to understand at a glance what happened to me in Jixiang Xiaozhu." Bai Xinghui said.
In the evening, the disciple responsible for guarding the island-protecting immortal array told Gu Zheng that there was a stranger outside the island-protecting array who wanted to come to Jixiang Xiaozhu.
Gu Zheng released his spiritual thoughts, and after the weapon spirit investigated and determined that this person was not a demon, Gu Zheng asked the disciples who were guarding the island-protecting immortal formation to take him to Wufeng Island.
The so-called new face was naturally Bai Xinghui. After entering Jixiang Xiaozhu, he picked up the menu on the table and read it.
Bai Xinghui looked at the menu and smiled slightly: "The food here seems a bit expensive!"
"After all, this is not ordinary food. This is delicious food cooked by an immortal chef, so the price is naturally a bit more expensive." said the girl from the Yang family.
"Really? If the taste is okay, it doesn't matter if it's more expensive. I'm afraid it's so expensive if it tastes bad." Bai Xinghui shook his head.
“Don’t worry, guests, there are many people coming to eat here, and no one can say it’s not delicious!”
Facing Bai Xinghui's questioning, the girl from the Yang family still smiled. She had a better temperament. If it had been Lian Yuxin, she would have at least frowned.
"Call your boss over, I want to order a custom dish."
Bai Xinghui's words made the Yang family girl's eyes light up, and she hurriedly went to find Gu Zheng. After all, no one has ever ordered the customized dishes since Jixiang Xiaozhu opened.
Gu Zheng was originally in the hall. After the Yang family's sister told him the situation, he came to the private room where Bai Xinghui was.
"What kind of customized dishes would you like?" Gu Zheng asked.
"I wonder if you can do the 'Six Paths of Reincarnation'?" Bai Xinghui said.
"Reincarnation?"
Gu Zheng frowned slightly and asked Qi Ling in his heart: "Do you know what the six paths of reincarnation are?"
"I don't know, the same dish may have different names. This is the first time I have heard of the name of the dish called Six Paths of Reincarnation," Qi Ling said.
"It seems like boss, you haven't heard of the dish Six Courses of Reincarnation."
Bai Xinghui smiled, and his smile seemed a little arrogant.
"It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of it, as long as you tell me what it is made of and how to make it," Gu Zheng said.
"I won't tell you how to do it. After all, you are the immortal chef. I am only responsible for providing you with ingredients." Bai Xinghui said.
"Okay, if you don't tell me how to make it, then the appearance I make may be different from what you have eaten, but the taste will definitely not be bad." Gu Zheng said.
"I hope so!"
Bai Xinghui shrugged and smiled, and then took out two ingredients.
Gu Zheng's eyes widened instantly. The quality of both ingredients was excellent!
One of the two ingredients, it actually grows on the earth. It is a plant called 'Liudaomu', so named because its branches have six grooves. However, Liudaomu that grows on the earth has not been known since ancient times.
The highest quality ingredients I have ever seen are second to none.
There is another ingredient that I have never seen before. It looks like cashew kernels, but it is so crystal clear that it looks like it is carved from rubies.
"The red ingredient is called 'Reincarnation Fruit'. While it is highly poisonous, it also contains a huge amount of immortal energy."
The voice of the weapon spirit sounded in Gu Zheng's mind.
"By the way, do you need me to give you the ingredients for cooking this dish?" Bai Xinghui asked.
"No need." Gu Zheng said.
"Okay, boss, tell me now, how much do you charge for customizing a dish like this?" Bai Xinghui asked again.
"Isn't it clearly written on the menu? In this case, for customized dishes, you provide the ingredients, and I charge 22% of the total value of the ingredients as compensation." Gu Zheng said.
"Twenty-two percent is no problem."
Bai Xinghui took out seven resources equivalent to medium-sized ingredients: "What does the boss think about using them as compensation?"
"Can."
After Gu Zheng finished speaking, he wanted to collect all the ingredients on the table and cook for Bai Xinghui, but was stopped by Bai Xinghui.
"Boss, since you are a fairy chef, you naturally know how precious the ingredients I provide are. However, you are really too young, only in your twenties. Can you really prepare this dish?"
Bai Xinghui looked at Gu Zheng with narrowed eyes, as if he wanted to see into Gu Zheng's heart.
"No matter how young I am, I am still a fairy chef. You can rest assured about the taste. But if you are worried, I will not take the business." Gu Zheng said with a slight displeasure.
"You should do this business! There is only one Xianchu restaurant like yours on the whole earth. I hope you won't let me down." Bai Xinghui said.
Gu Zheng didn't say anything else, collected the resources and left the private room.
"I feel like this person is not easy to talk to." Qi Ling said.
"I hope he won't look for trouble, otherwise you will have to bear the consequences." Gu Zheng smiled coldly.
In fact, since the opening of Jixiang Xiaozhu, Gu Zheng has encountered a tattletale diner once. That diner also came from the prehistoric times. After he ate the food cooked by Gu Zheng, he could not comment on the taste of Gu Zheng's food.
It is not as good as what he had eaten in the prehistoric times, so he wants Gu Zheng to return some of his resources.
Regardless of whether what the diners said is true or false, as long as Gu Zheng did not cook the dishes badly, there is no reason to refund part of the resources to him. Not to mention that this is a Xianchu restaurant, even an ordinary hotel will not refund the diners for this.
Part of the money.
Therefore, Gu Zheng naturally did not return anything to the diner, and the diner was about to get angry when he saw Gu Zheng in the entanglement, so he was relatively sensible and said nothing.
For such a customer, Gu Zheng naturally put him on the blacklist of Jixiang Xiaozhu. Even if he gave him more money to eat, Gu Zheng would not do his business.
For the dish Six Courses of Reincarnation, the diners only provided two ingredients. When Gu Zheng saw them, he already knew how to cook them deliciously.
The only part of Liudaomu that can be used as food is the leaves. Gu Zheng first picked off the leaves of Liudaomu, and then put them into a pot of cold water. While the fire control technique activated the fire to boil the water, he also used the water control technique at the same time, allowing trace amounts of
The moisture enters the leaves of Liudaomu, taking away many of its ingredients and enhancing its taste.
Before the water boiled, the leaves of Liudaomu had been preliminarily processed. Gu Zheng took them out and put them in the ice water. Under the control of water again, the leaves that were originally hot and a little soft quickly stretched out.
Come.
After taking out the processed Liudao wood leaves, Gu Zheng took out a few more eggs, took only the egg whites, and put them into the bowl together with five Liudao fruits. Under the stimulation of the immortal power, the egg whites and Liudao fruits rotated.
stand up.
The types of ingredients are different, and the methods for judging their grade are also different. Just like Liudaoguo, although it is a high-quality ingredient, if it is just a single piece, it is not really a high-quality ingredient! Now
Now the five pieces in the bowl are added together to form a complete high-quality ingredient.
In fact, it is not a new thing to judge the grade of ingredients in this way. After all, it is like the fairy food in ancient times. Can a grain of rice, a grain of wheat, and a bean be regarded as an ordinary grade of ingredients? Even if
It is considered an ordinary-level ingredient, but it does not meet the true standard of ordinary-level ingredients! And if you want to reach the true standard of ordinary-level ingredients, you need to pile up some quantities.
However, not all ingredients need to be piled in quantities. Just like a fairy egg, it is a complete mid-level ingredient. Just like a dragon horn, it is also a complete high-level ingredient! If it is not ancient
When Zheng used the dragon horns, he wanted the effect of the food medicine to last longer. The high-grade alchemy food medicine he made on Chaoxia Island could not even use up one dragon horn. But this difference,
Naturally, it varies depending on the ingredients.
