The food repair made by Lu Piaoxiang tastes very good and has good effects. However, for Gu Zheng, this food repair Lu Piaoxiang created by himself is only equivalent to what he made when he was on earth.
It's just a top-grade Yuan-enhancing Food Cultivation. If it were now, he could use the materials used by Lu Piaoxiang to make a Yuan-Enhancing Food Cultivation with a more powerful effect.
However, no matter how powerful the effect is, the ordinary type of Yuan-increasing food cultivation will not have a good effect on Guzheng, even if it is a top-grade one! Because after the cultivation level reaches the Golden Immortal realm, the amount of Immortal Yuan required for promotion is
It's very big. Not only will ordinary type of Zeng Yuan Food Cultivation not increase your cultivation level, but it will affect Gu Zheng's next consumption of the Food Cultivation. After all, the better the effect of the Food Cultivation, the shorter the time interval between next consumption.
Long, this is more obvious after the cultivation level is advanced to Golden Immortal.
Like the top-grade Yuan-enhancing Food Cultivation made by Lu Piaoxiang, after Gu Zheng took it, he could no longer take other Yuan-Enhancing Food Cultivation for two months! Otherwise, eating it would also result in a huge discount.
"Hey! Why didn't fellow Taoist Bai have any reaction after eating the food I made?"
Although the food cultivation performed by ordinary immortal chefs will not have the phenomenon of the pores turning into whirlpools and wildly swallowing the immortal essence like the food cultivation done by Gu Zheng, it will also have a strong attraction to the immortal essence from the outside world. However,
, when Gu Zheng ate the food repair made by Lu Piaoxiang, there was not much strangeness in the air. How could Lu Piaoxiang not be surprised!
"What do you think?" Gu Zheng asked with a smile.
"All right!"
Lu Piaoxiang was suddenly stunned, and then smiled bitterly and said: "It seems that in the short term, fellow Taoist Bai has eaten the energy-increasing food cultivation that is more effective than my food cultivation. During the period of time affected by the last food cultivation, he took this food that I made."
If you repair it, the effect will be almost gone.”
Indeed, when Gu Zheng left Shushan, he had just done better Yuan-enhancing food cultivation for himself, so the high-grade Yuan-enhancing food cultivation done by Lu Piaoxiang did not have much effect on him at all.
"What a pity. I originally wanted to give Fellow Daoist Bai some improvement in cultivation, but I didn't expect that it would be of no use to Fellow Daoist Bai." Lin Xin said regretfully.
"Although it's not of much use, I still accept the Lin family's wishes."
Gu Zheng paused and changed the topic: "Come, let's drink and drink!"
"Huh?"
Lu Piaoxiang suddenly frowned, and then said to Gu Zheng and others: "I don't know what the wind is blowing today, but there are still guests coming to my extremely fragrant little house. Please excuse me!"
Lu Piaoxiang resigned from everyone, but she came back not long after, and the person who came with her was an old man with gray hair.
"I thought it was business that came to my door, but I didn't expect that it was you!" Lu Piaoxiang looked at Gu Zheng and said.
"I've met Senior Chen!"
Although the Lin family and the Chen family do not get along, as the top leaders of the two families, they still try to be harmonious in front of outsiders. Therefore, when they saw that the visitor turned out to be Chen Jude, the ancestor of the Chen family who had not been seen for a long time, Lin Xin and Lin Yi went to him together.
Greetings.
"Um."
Chen Jude just smiled and nodded at Lin Xin and Lin Yi, then looked at Gu Zheng, with a hint of flattery in his eyes and said: "Fellow Daoist Bai, can you take a step to speak?"
"Are you looking for me specifically?" Gu Zheng asked.
"Yes." Chen Jude said.
"good."
Since Chen Jude came to see him in person and was trying to please him, Gu Zheng agreed to his request for a chance to speak.
"Everyone, let me excuse you for a moment."
Gu Zheng said something to Lin Xin and others, and then left the private room.
Gu Zheng and Chen Jude did not go far, they just came to the private room next door.
"What do you want from me?" Gu Zheng asked.
Restrictions have been placed in the private room, but Chen Jude is not afraid that his voice and expression will be seen by others. He smiled to please Gu Zheng, and then said: "I came to see Fellow Daoist Bai to ask Fellow Daoist Bai for help!"
"Help?" Gu Zheng frowned.
"Yes, because Lin Dongliang and I suffer from the same disease!"
It was precisely because he suffered from the same disease as Lin Dongliang that Chen Jude did not show up when Gu Zheng attacked the Chen family, because he was originally in the late Golden Immortal stage, but now his strength has retreated to the middle stage of the Golden Immortal stage.
"It seems that your status as an informant in the Lin family is not low. Not many senior members of the Lin family know that I cured Lin Dongliang!" Gu Zheng said slowly.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, in fact, he doesn't have any informants. He just inferred from some clues about Chen!"
Chen Jude smiled bitterly and then told Gu Zheng something.
One hundred and fifty years ago, when the Wujin Mine was under the control of the Lin family, the 'Wozi Incident' occurred, and the people in the mine at that time were not the only ones from the Lin family.
Hearing that a "wozi" had appeared in the Lin family's mine, and in urgent need of sending a batch of high-purity black gold from the "wozi", Chen Jude went to the black gold mine and wanted to talk to Lin Dongliang about it face to face.
After Chen Jude entered the Wujin Mine, he didn't go deep enough before the cold air in the 'nest' erupted. Looking at the fierce power of the curse coming like a storm, Chen Jude turned around and was about to rush out of the mine, but it was still too late.
One step later, the power of the curse touched my body.
Chen Jude was luckier than Lin Dongliang. Not much of the curse's power was in his body, but after so many years, it still caused serious harm to him.
Because he understood his own situation, knew that Lin Dongliang was at the core of the eruption at that time, and that Lin Dongliang had been in seclusion almost all the time since then, Chen Jude understood how serious Lin Dongliang's situation was.
Lin Dongliang was cured by Gu Zheng. Although few senior members of the Lin family knew about it, his ancestor, who had not been out of seclusion for many years, actually came out of seclusion and seemed to be in a good mood for a walk around the hill. This is known to all Lin family cultivators.
In addition, the Lin family had no intention of hiding the matter of their ancestor's release from seclusion, so Chen Jude also knew the news, and therefore concluded that Lin Dongliang's illness should have been cured by Gu Zheng, who was able to understand the power of the law.
Okay. Because of this, in order to show his sincerity, Chen Jude also came out of seclusion and came to Jixiang Xiaozhu to find Gu Zheng for help.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, you also said in front of Chen's house that what happened before is over, and now I come to you to save my life. Are you afraid to save me because of what happened before?"
Chen Jude had really let go of his identity. Looking at Gu Zheng, he looked as pitiful as a child.
"What happened before is in the past. Whether I can save you or not is another matter. There are many people in the world who need help. I can't agree to everyone who asks me for help, right?" Gu Zheng said lightly.
"Yes, Fellow Daoist Bai is right. Whether you save me or not depends entirely on your mood!"
Chen Jude's flattering voice paused, and then he said: "However, as long as Fellow Daoist Bai can cure me, I, Chen Jude, will not be stingy in terms of reward. Or, in other words, Fellow Daoist Bai can tell me how to make you feel better!"
Looking at Chen Jude's old smiling face, Gu Zheng did want to laugh a little, but he still kept a straight face.
"The Lin family is hosting a banquet for me today. It's not appropriate to talk about other things to ruin my mood. Let's wait until another day to talk about treating you!"
Gu Zheng did not refuse to die, which made Chen Jude overjoyed. He had never planned to ask Gu Zheng to save him.
"Okay, let's wait until Fellow Daoist Bai is free. If Fellow Daoist Bai has nothing else to do, I'll leave now?" Chen Jude said flatteringly.
"There's nothing else to do." Gu Zheng said.
After Chen Jude left, Gu Zheng returned to the private room. Everyone drank for a while and then dispersed.
After Gu Zheng and others left, Lu Piaoxiang returned to the 'Peony Room' where there were guests.
"Everyone is gone?"
There was only one guest in the room. He was a very thin old man. His fair skin was so thin that he could be blown away by a gust of wind.
"gone."
Lu Piaoxiang smiled at the old man.
"Girl, you really put your money into it this time. Are you attracted to him?" the thin old man said with a smile.
"No way!"
Lu Piaoxiang shook her head hurriedly.
"Don't rush to argue, it's not surprising that you are attracted to him! He has such strength at a young age, and can also understand the laws of heaven and earth's blessings. This boy has a bright future in the future. It should be the same to have such a person as a Taoist companion.
A good thing!" said the thin old man.
"Uncle Kong, you also said that this is a good thing, not a guarantee! What's more, I really haven't been tempted by him, and I didn't pay a lot. Being able to get to know such a promising person is not a bad thing after all!
"Lu Piaoxiang said.
"Ha ha!"
The old man laughed: "Really? If you just want to make friends, there is no need to fly together, right?"
"I won't talk to you anymore!"
Lu Piaoxiang gritted her teeth, turned around and left the peony room.
At this moment, Lin Xin and Lin Yi were missing from Gu Zheng's group.
Originally, Lin Xin and Lin Yi wanted to invite Gu Zheng to stay on their hilltop for a few days, but Gu Zheng refused. He thought it would be good to stay at the Piao Miao Inn.
After returning to the inn room, Gu Zheng said to Yang Jue who was following him: "Fellow Daoist Yang, do you have something to tell me?"
Some time after Chen Jude left, Yang Jue looked at him, who had hesitated to speak several times. Now that he returned to the inn, he even wanted to come to Gu Zheng's room to sit. This made Gu Zheng feel that he and Huang Qi were going to ask him something.
matter.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, what was Chen Jude doing with you in Jixiang Xiaozhu just now?" Yang Jue asked.
"He came to me for treatment."
Regarding Chen Jude's illness, Gu Zheng did not hide anything and told the two of them everything that happened before and after.
"It's good that Fellow Daoist Bai didn't refuse."
After listening to Gu Zheng's story, Yang Jue seemed to feel relieved.
"Humph, he is begging for help. So what if Fellow Daoist Bai refuses? He will still beg again!"
Huang Qi was very unhappy with the Chen family's previous celebrations for Gu Zheng.
"Why is it okay if you don't refuse?" Gu Zheng asked with a frown.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, in fact, Daoist Huang invited you to come to Luxia Town. Everything is not as simple as it seems. Before telling you the whole story, I would like to ask fellow Daoist Bai for your understanding and not to be angry because of some of my actions." Yang Jue said.
.
"Oh? What's going on?"
Unexpectedly, Yang Jue would say such words, which made Gu Zheng very curious.
"The thing is like this..."
Following Yang Jue's narration, Gu Zheng gradually understood the whole story.
A hundred years ago, there was an ancient ruins in Luxia Town. At that time, Yang Jue and Huang Qi entered the ruins together. It was a fight and battle between multiple forces. In the end, Yang Jue and Huang Qi were lucky enough to enter the core of the ruins and...
Got some good stuff there.
Among the good things that Yang Jue and Huang Qi got, there was a jade slip of spiritual thoughts left by the owner of the ruins. The things described in the jade slip of divine thoughts made Yang Jue and Huang Qi understand that the ancient ruins they experienced were actually just left by the owner of the ruins.
A little sweetness, the real dinner will appear in a hundred years, and it will also be a relic.
Where the real dinner is is known through the jade slips Yang Jue and Huang Qi. Its location information is hidden in a jade carving at the core of Sweetness.
Both Yang Jue and Huang Qi had seen the jade sculpture mentioned in the jade slip. It was a statue of a beautiful woman wearing palace clothes and about a foot tall. At that time, in addition to Yang Jue and Huang Qi, there were several other people who entered the core. Yang Jue
He and Huangqi felt that the jade carvings were ordinary, so they took the things they thought were valuable first, and ended up missing out.
However, both Yang Jue and Huang Qi remembered that the jade carving was taken away by a man with a purple face. They tried many ways to trace the whereabouts of this man, but unfortunately there was no news.
Three months ago, Yang Jue happened to come to Luxia Town for business. He met a purple-faced man who had disappeared for a hundred years, and got a message through his relationship. This purple-faced man appeared in Luxia Town because he had a batch of resources to find.
The Chen family auctioned it on their behalf, including the jade carving from that year.
The relics that served as sweeteners allowed Yang Jue and Huang Qi to escape death. As the relics of dinner, Yang Jue and Huang Qi decided to find strong and reliable allies.
After experiencing the Baiyun Temple incident with Gu Zheng, Huang Qi felt that Gu Zheng met the requirements. In addition to being strong, his character was also good.
However, Huang Qi trusted Gu Zheng, but Yang Jue was unfamiliar with Gu Zheng. It happened that Gu Zheng wanted to find Beili Xianshen, so Huang Qi invited Gu Zheng to Luxia Town to let Yang Jue take a look.
Unexpectedly, Gu Zheng stepped on the Chen family in Luxia Town, which made Yang Jue's first impression of Gu Zheng very bad. He was afraid that this powerful teammate might be a wolf.
So next, Huang Qi asked Lin Haibo to help, through some detailed issues, to understand Gu Zheng's character. For example, he did not sincerely sell Beili Xian Ginseng, but asked Gu Zheng to go to Lin's house to meet him.
Yang Jue's move was concealed even by Huang Qi. He didn't want Huang Qi to say that he was suspicious. Of course, in order to get Lin Haibo to cooperate, Yang Jue also said good things in front of his old friend. After all, Gu Zheng was so fierce.
The dragon crossing the river stepped on the Chen family.
Later, Gu Zheng treated Lin Dongliang, and his character was praised by the Lin family. After meeting Gu Zheng at today's banquet, Yang Jue felt relieved about Gu Zheng and decided to tell the secret.
After hearing what Yang Jue said, Gu Zheng smiled slightly: "You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others. It is normal for fellow Taoist Yang to do this. I don't have anything to do with it!"
"Really, even I hid it!"
Huang Qi also just learned about some things, so he gave Yang Jue a hard look.
"I can't help it. Fellow Taoist, please forgive me!" Yang Jue said with a smile.
"Fellow Taoist, now that you know the whole story, are you interested in the ruins?" Huang Qi looked at Gu Zheng.
"Of course I'm interested. After all, these are the relics left by a quasi-sage!" Gu Zheng said.
"Okay, since fellow Taoist Bai is also interested in this relic, then when Chen Jude comes to beg you again, you can ask him for the jade carving. After all, while entrusting the Chen family to auction it on their behalf, the Chen family also owns the entrusted items.
You have the right of first refusal! Even if the jade carving is put up for auction, no one may know the goods, but it is always safer to get it in advance." Yang Jue said.
"No problem. When Chen Jude comes to ask me for medical treatment again, I will come down and ask for the jade carving by the way." Gu Zheng said.
The next day Chen Jude didn't have it, but he had someone bring a jar of high-grade fairy wine to Gu Zheng.
On the third day, Chen Jude still didn't come, but someone sent Gu Zheng an intermediate-level fairy weapon.
After using this intermediate fairy weapon, I thought it was nothing, but it made the weapon spirit very unhappy, because once this picture scroll-like fairy weapon was opened, the twelve beauties painted on it would react to the picture scroll.
Some people do unspeakable things and teach some dual/cultivation techniques.
On the fourth day, Chen Jude came to visit in person, and this time he brought twenty Blue Immortal coins to Gu Zheng.
Twenty Blue Immortal coins were a huge amount of wealth. When he saw that there were so many Blue Immortal coins in the box that Chen Jude opened, Gu Zheng couldn't help but sigh at the Chen family's wealth.
"First the fairy wine, then the beauty, and then the fairy coins. You are forcing me step by step!"
Gu Zheng looked at Chen Jude and sneered, which made Chen Jude suddenly nervous: "Fellow Daoist Bai, I just want to express my sincerity!"
"Is it an expression of sincerity? I have to say, I like this kind of sincerity very much!"
Gu Zheng's face changed at every turn. He burst out laughing, making Chen Jude laugh awkwardly while he couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.
"Don't talk nonsense. It's okay to let me save you, but I still need some reward." Gu Zheng said.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, please tell me. As long as it's not too excessive, Chen will agree to it!"
Chen Jude gritted his teeth, he really didn't want to die, and the Chen family really needed him.
"The Chen family is about to hold an auction again. Have you seen the items to be auctioned this time?"
Gu Zheng's words made Chen Jude's heart thump. He was really afraid that Gu Zheng would make very excessive demands.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, please take a look!"
Chen Jude stored a piece of his memory in the jade slip, and then handed the jade slip to Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng took the jade slip and placed it on his forehead. Immediately, he knew all the items in the Chen family's auction.
"I need three items in total for this auction!" Gu Zheng said.
"Which three?"
Chen Jude's voice trembled.
"Don't be afraid, Fellow Daoist Chen. Bai is not a dissatisfied person. I like all the gifts you sent for three days in a row, and the overall value is really not low. How can I be dissatisfied and pick some expensive things?"
Gu Zheng's voice paused, and then he continued: "The three things I value are the Return to the Void Pill, the Double-Headed Jiao Jin, and the Azure Jade Sculpture."
Huang Qi wanted the Xu-Returning Pill in ancient times. When he was at Qingfeng Temple, Huang Qi wanted to take a copy of the Return-to-Void Pill to give to his apprentice, but the bearded old man took it away.
Double-headed dragon tendon is a high-grade ingredient, and it can be regarded as the item with the highest reserve price among the three items requested by Gu Zheng.
As for the azure jade carving, the base price is only thirty Huangxian coins, but the description emphatically states that this object came from the ruins of Luxia Town a hundred years ago and may have another purpose.
