Heilong made a choice. He wanted to be on good terms with Gu Zheng. This was considered an investment for him in Gu Zheng, and it was also for the pride of the dragon clan, worthy of what he had said before.

Having made the decision, Heilong felt much relieved, and a surge of enlightenment surged into his heart because of the decision.

Mingwu made Heilong feel happy, and also made him understand one thing, that is, no matter whether Gu Zheng can become the master of immortal-level space artifacts in the future, at least he made the right choice to make friends with Gu Zheng this time.

, when he made this choice, his memory that was originally sealed by the original immortal-level space immortal weapon opened up a little, which made him understand that he could make a deal with Gu Zheng.

The black dragon, who was in a happy mood, immediately flew out of the cave, left Xuankong Mountain and went straight to the Hantan monk and his son.

Brother Hantan and his son were still chatting. When they saw a huge black dragon flying down from the Hanging Mountain and flying towards them, they all became alert.

Although Gu Zheng was in the Heart Demon Pearl, he happened to be looking at the scene outside. He also discovered the black dragon and appeared from the Heart Demon Pearl.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The alert Hantan monks waited for the black dragon to enter the attack range, and then launched an attack on it. However, the sudden laughter from the black dragon made them all frown, and their questioning eyes fell on Gu Zheng.

Gu Zheng gave Brother Hantan and his son a calm look. He also wanted to see what the black dragon who could only laugh was going to do.

"Why, don't you recognize me?"

Of course, Heilong also saw the alertness of Brother Hantan and his son, and did not get too close to Gu Zheng and them. He stopped and spoke from Gu Zheng.

Due to the distance before, Gu Zheng's sensing ability was not that strong, but now that the black dragon was close to a certain range, he immediately sensed the familiar energy from the black dragon's body.

"Are you the black snake?"

Gu Zheng's eyes widened slightly, and he was somewhat shocked. He hadn't seen him for a long time. The black snake that was only in the early stage of the Golden Immortal even when it entered the dragon transformation state, was now a complete dragon transformation, and its strength reached

In the late Golden Immortal period, the speed at which one's cultivation level improves is truly jaw-dropping.

"That's right, it's me!" Black Dragon smiled, then sighed: "Your overall strength has improved very quickly, how long has it been since we last seen each other!"

"Yes, everyone should have their own chance!"

Gu Zheng smiled on the surface, but he was not at all calm in his heart, nor was he as happy as he should be when seeing a 'friend'.

First of all, is the Black Dragon a friend? It’s actually difficult to define in Gu Zheng’s mind!

Although Gu Zheng and Hei Long said they wanted to have a good relationship last time, it was based on the fact that Hei Long was not strong enough. Now Hei Long is already in the late Golden Immortal stage. With the improvement of his strength, coupled with the pride of the Dragon Clan, plus the fact that he had

Despite the coercion, is Black Dragon really still willing to be friends with him?

Although Heilong is smiling now, Gu Zheng is really not sure whether the good relationship they agreed on back then still counts! After all, the last mission item he needs must be in the hands of Heilong, and

Having experienced the dragon blood divine gold and the polar black gold being refined by the big demon, Gu Zheng felt that the gold of nothingness he wanted was probably refined by the black dragon as his natal demon weapon. If this is the case, ask for the black dragon.

The gold of nothingness is equivalent to taking half of the black dragon's life! If it were him, a monster who was 'befriending' him, and he wanted something equivalent to half his life, he would definitely not agree to it.

.

Of course Hei Long could guess some of what Gu Zheng was thinking. Seeing that Gu Zheng was not able to speak, he asked with a half-smile: "What is your mission in entering this space world this time?"

"There is indeed a mission. I want to get the gold of nothingness. This thing should be in your hands, right?"

When asked about this, Gu Zheng couldn't help but feel a little bitter in his heart. He even wanted to scold the Ray Emperor! After all, the difficult thing was not only to ask the black dragon for the gold of nothingness, but he also needed to ask the black dragon for his body.

As part of his life, he went to cook food and repair food for the King of Rays. This was something he had already promised to the King of Rays and could not change!

Not only did he want the gold of nothingness, but he also wanted the black dragon to cut his flesh. Even Gu Zheng himself felt that it was too much to make such a request to the black dragon. Such a request would probably break the original friendship!

"Yes, the gold of nothingness is in my hands, and I can give it to you."

Heilong's words made Gu Zheng feel even more uncomfortable. He asked for something that was equivalent to a natal demon weapon. He had already said that he would give it away, so how could he have the nerve to ask for his flesh to be cut?

"Just give it to me like this, no other conditions?" Gu Zheng said with a bitter smile.

"Of course there are conditions, but it's very simple for you. You just need to take me out when you leave this space world."

Leaving the current space world is Black Snake's opportunity. Regardless of whether Gu Zheng can become the master of immortal-level space artifacts in the future, as long as he can leave this space world, then this is already a kind of opportunity for him.

Opportunity.

"This condition is indeed very simple for me." Gu Zheng paused and then said: "But I also need something. I didn't know in advance that it would be on your body, so I already agreed.

other people."

Seeing the troubled look on Gu Zheng's face, Black Snake asked curiously: "What is it, can you tell me about it?"

"I need your body to be used as part of the ingredients. I will give it to the person who agrees to cook it!"

Hearing what Gu Zheng said, Black Dragon's eyes narrowed. Everyone knows that the body is affected by their parents, let alone the arrogant dragon clan.

"You want a part of my body?" Heilong asked with squinted eyes, and then spoke again: "Although I don't know what food cultivation you are talking about, what you want does not necessarily have to be flesh and blood, but just as long as

As long as it has medicinal effects, right?"

"That's true in theory, but the things I need have to be matched with what I have and can be used to practice cooking."

Even when he encountered a fierce battle with demons, Gu Zheng never found it as difficult as it was now. Now he felt a little embarrassed to even speak.

"Then look at something like this. It's of great value. If it meets your requirements, even if it's valuable, I don't think it's too much. But if it doesn't work, you have to have a piece of me.

Meat, then your request is really too much!"

The black dragon stretched out his hand, and a soft thing appeared out of thin air. When he first saw this thing, Gu Zheng's eyes lit up and he slapped his forehead.

"Really, why didn't I think that you should have this kind of medicinal material before?"

Gu Zheng was speechless. Seeing the black dragon today was so sudden that he always thought about things that would not end well. Instead, he ignored the things that could be used for cooking, food and repair, which were not necessarily the black dragon's meat or dirty food.

After all, the black dragon is transformed from a black snake, but any snake will have something like snake slough, and snake sloughs are all used as medicinal materials.

What Black Dragon took out was his snake shed, and it was the last snake shed before he transformed from a black snake into a black dragon. Not only could it be used to add to the food that Gu Zheng was going to cook for the Ray Emperor, but it also had medicinal uses.

The value is also great.

"Does this snake leg of mine meet your requirements? If it does, I will give it to you." Black Dragon said.

"Yes!" Gu Zheng said with a smile: "Thank you so much this time!"

"I will give you the gold of nothingness, which is equivalent to a natal demon weapon. I will also give you the snake slough, which is of great significance to me. And what I need you to do is just take me out of this world of space."

Black Dragon sighed.

"Don't worry, I will remember your favor!" Gu Zheng said solemnly.

Hearing what Gu Zheng said, Black Dragon didn't say anything more. He handed over both the Void Gold and the Snake Slough to Gu Zheng.

Although Xuankong Mountain was the Black Dragon's cave, the Black Dragon didn't have anything to clean up there, so Gu Zheng put him into the inner demon bead, and then used his thoughts to activate the mark left by the Ray Emperor on his arm.

The vision in front of him alternated between light and dark, and Gu Zheng returned to a pavilion in the back garden of the Manta Ray Emperor's palace. This was the teleportation point preset by the Manta Ray Emperor. As long as Gu Zheng was in this space world, he could activate the one he left behind.

If you print the mark, you can return to this pavilion immediately.

Gu Zheng's sudden appearance startled the shrimp soldiers and crab generals guarding the pavilion.

"Inform your master!"

Gu Zhengchong, the shrimp soldier and crab general, said this, and one of the several shrimp soldiers and crab generals immediately went to inform the manta ray emperor.

"The mission is completed? Congratulations!"

When Gu Zheng saw the Ray Emperor in the palace, the Ray Emperor laughed at him.

"Thanks to you, it's done!"

Gu Zheng gave the Manta Ray Emperor a hard look. Before he came back, he already understood why the Manta Ray Emperor insisted on him getting it from those few masters after providing him with clues about the mission items he needed.

He retrieved a body part from the Demon King who was holding his mission items and used it to cook food and repair for him. This was clearly a way of making things difficult! If it wasn't deliberately making things difficult, why was there the least information about the Black Dragon?

"Hahaha!" The Stingray Emperor laughed again: "No wonder, there are some things I can't help myself with, but no matter what, didn't you solve them in the end?"

Although Emperor Ray didn't say it explicitly, it was equivalent to him admitting that there was indeed trouble in this matter, and he just couldn't help it. Everything was just set by the power of the law.

"It is indeed solved. Fortunately, Black Snake is more generous. Otherwise, even if the matter can be solved this time, I will definitely feel uncomfortable. After all, it is the existence that I promised to be friends with, but

Not only do I need his natal demon weapon, but I also need a part of his body." Gu Zheng said with emotion.

"Whenever you have an immortal-level space artifact, you won't have to go through these things that make you powerless." After the King Ray said this with emotion, he smiled slightly and said: "No more nonsense, you should hurry up and give it to me."

I'll cook and repair, then go back and complete your mission!"

Gu Zheng nodded and followed Emperor Manta to the palace garden again. He was going to prepare food and repairs for Emperor Manta.

This time, the food cultivator who is going to cook for the Stingray Emperor is a beast spirit food cultivator. There are seven kinds of ingredients used. In addition to the ingredients obtained from the four demon kings, there are three other ingredients that are from himself.

Just have the accessories.

It has been a long time since I have cooked in the Beast Spirit Food Cultivation Ancient Competition, but cooking is not difficult for a top immortal chef like him. The only thing that needs to be paid attention to is the food cultivation at that time.

Speaking of food cultivation to overcome tribulations, the food cultivation of animal spirits that Gu Zheng cooked for the Ray Emperor this time will be more intense! After all, the four main ingredients used in the food cultivation this time are all from gold.

For monsters in the immortal realm, according to Gu Zheng's predictions, the number of catastrophes experienced by food cultivators during their tribulations will reach a rare four times.

The processing of the ingredients has been completed. This process did not waste much time. Although the four main ingredients come from the four demon kings, they are not troublesome to handle. The real trouble is the fire control technique during the cooking process.

and the control of water control techniques.

The cooking method used in the ancient cooking beast spirit food repair this time is to stir-fry first and then stew. The stir-frying step is mainly for the three auxiliary ingredients. Through the stimulation of the stir-frying process, their medicinal properties can be followed.

The four auxiliary materials added are mixed together, and after the four auxiliary materials are added, the cooking method will become stewing. The whole process will last for an hour, which is considered to be a relatively long time in food repair cooking.

Heat the oil in the pan, add the ingredients when the oil is hot, and the stir-frying process begins. The burnt aroma spreads along with this process. In the observation of Gu Zhengdao's eyes, the substances between the various ingredients are merging and transforming, which is wonderful.
