Food gives me an entry, I will be invincible if I stay alive

Chapter 178 Spiritual Ingredients and Elixir, Top Master

Chen Xu wrote on the jade burial suit:

I wish to participate in the provincial examination. What is the most suitable departure time, route, and number of companions?

He was still somewhat greedy, asking several questions in one sentence.

As the ink characters were written down one by one, Chen Xu felt the innate Qi in his dantian being rapidly depleted.

An indescribable dizziness and a feeling of blood rushing backward continued to assault him.

This feeling was very uncomfortable, especially as the writing progressed, a heavy sense of stagnation even arose in the writing.

Chen Xu showed no intention of giving up asking questions.

He silently recited the mantra for calming the mind: "Attain utmost emptiness, maintain steadfast stillness."

"A pure heart remains unperturbed even when the sky collapses..."

The question he chose was probably the one with the least backlash he could bear.

With the last few strokes, the characters "得宜" were written.

boom!
Chen Xu felt as if his heart had been struck by some strange, mysterious force.

He suddenly groaned, a mouthful of blood rising to his head.

Chen Xu immediately took out a small bamboo tube and spat the blood in his mouth into it.

He casually put the bamboo tube into the kitchen.

This is a world of gods and ghosts. Chen Xu now takes good care of his own blood, hair, and other personal items, and will never easily leave them out, as long as conditions permit.

Looking at the jade cicada robe before him, the ink writing that Chen Xu had just asked a question on had gradually faded away.

Instead, Lingchan Yuyi gave the answer.

The same ink-colored characters gradually appeared one by one on the jade-like garment, which was as smooth as silk.

With each additional word, Chen Xu's heart beat faster.

The primordial Qi surged through his body, and when it reached its limit, all the characters were revealed without exception.

"On the fifteenth of May, head north across the Broken Jade River, passing through the Green Forest. It is advisable to travel alone."

Chen Xu grabbed the Jade Cicada Robe and put it back into the Smoke and Fire Kitchen, feeling an indescribable power surging in his heart.

bang bang bang-

The heart beats like a drum.

When the primordial Qi reaches its limit, old forces are exhausted and new forces are generated.

May 15th is a good day for solo travel!

A myriad of thoughts flooded his mind, and Chen Xu added three points to each of his three elemental attributes: Qi and Blood, Essence and Spirit.

As his abundant energy gradually grew, Chen Xu let out a long breath.

Using the Jade Cicada Robe once feels like peeling off a layer of skin.

It's no wonder that in the Records of the Splendor of the Great Li Dynasty, the Star-Picking Master on the Heavenly Ranking went blind because he predicted the great chaos in the Northern Rong.

But the divination results were well worth it for Chen Xu.

The phrase "suitable for solitary travel" says a lot.

According to the original plan, Chen Xuhui would go to Pingyang with Cui Yunqi, Ning Yuzhai and other members of the Yunjiang family.

Cui Yunqi and others will also participate in this year's provincial examination.

Will traveling with these people bring crisis and misfortune?
Is it because some of these people harbor ill will towards Chen Xu, or because the team itself will face a major external crisis?
While Chen Xu was pondering, he was unaware that just as he was putting the Jade Cicada Robe into the Smoke and Fire Kitchen, in Yunjiang Prefecture, a child who looked to be about eight or nine years old was holding a compass and stomping his feet repeatedly, looking both anxious and annoyed.

"What the heck, that magical mechanism has vanished again? Oh dear, it's driving me crazy..."

The child, dressed in a tattered, oversized robe, with the excessively large hem and sleeves bound with hemp rope, anxiously walked through street after street in Yunjiang City.

He wanted to use his vague previous senses to find the location of the divine opportunity, but Yunjiang City was too big, with streets and markets everywhere... The noise of people and the chaos of the mortal world.

With numerous chaotic and obscuring elements, even though the child had an extraordinary background, all they could do at this moment was helpless.

Following a subtle feeling in his heart, he headed east, crossed a bridge, and smelled the delicious aromas of various foods emanating from the restaurants near the bridge. Suddenly, his stomach churned, and his intestines rumbled with hunger.

The child's expression froze instantly; he was hungry.

He has practiced fasting for decades, consuming only spiritual ingredients and nectar. He can swallow the essence of heaven and earth in a day and go without food for three months.

Unexpectedly, he was now tempted by earthly food. This reincarnated body could not control its appetite and unknowingly walked to a restaurant.

The restaurant was bustling with activity; it seemed that some kind of divination game was being held inside.

A cheer erupted from inside: "Congratulations! This young master has won our prize for today: Bamboo Rhyme Stewed Three Delicacies! Quick, quick, bring the dish out..."

Then a burst of discussion erupted: "Bamboo Rhyme Stewed Three Delicacies? This is another new dish today. Hey, it's called Three Delicacies, just how delicious is it?"

"Manager, please show us the menu! This signature dish can't just be available as a 'fortune-telling' dish!"

The restaurant owner, beaming with laughter, exclaimed, "If today's divination is successful, it'll be on the menu tomorrow! Come, everyone, take a look, smell it..."

As they were talking, the crowd gathered at the entrance of the restaurant suddenly parted to both sides.

It turned out that the restaurant owner was carrying a tray of food, displaying the bowl of Bamboo Rhyme Stewed Three Delicacies directly from inside the restaurant to outside.

Its powerful, fresh aroma spreads from the inside out.

The child holding the compass unknowingly walked outside the restaurant, swallowed hard, and stared wide-eyed.

"It smells so good!" he exclaimed.

After saying that, he spat and slapped his mouth, saying, "What's so fragrant about it?"

How could such mundane things enter the mouth of a Taoist master?

The child forcibly suppressed the urge to go over and beg for food, and turned away.

He would never admit that the reason he didn't go was because he was short of money.

After this forced reincarnation, perhaps due to the wrong timing, not only did his cultivation level drop drastically, but his intelligence, temperament, and willpower also seemed to be affected by his current reincarnated body, and he began to approach the level of a real eight or nine-year-old child.

He could no longer use his original "Hidden Universe Technique," so despite being surrounded by treasures, he looked like a beggar.

The child turned and walked away, silently encouraging himself:

What does a temporary setback matter?
The hardships I endure today will surely be overcome when I find the divine opportunity in the future...

"Hmph, I will surely refine a drop of the essence of heaven and earth, pouring out this nectar as spiritual rain, so that these mediocre mortals in the city may know what true immortal food is!"

Unbeknownst to the child, just as he turned to leave, Chen Xu, who had just stepped out of the courtyard gate, suddenly froze.

Chen Xu went out this time to replenish a batch of supplies at the market.

While I'm at it, I'll also look for some potted plants so I can use the All Things Transformation Talisman.

Unexpectedly, no sooner had he stepped out than the Book of Food and Delight suddenly opened, revealing a particularly peculiar "like":

【Like +100】

For Chen Xu now, "100 likes" is no longer a rarity.

If Feng Yuanbo were drinking Zuiling wine at the county government office at this time and exclaimed "Good wine!", Chen Xu would often receive a "+100 likes".

But the "+100 likes" right now is definitely not from Feng Yuanbo.

Instead, it was an unknown person whose daily like limit, as revealed by the Heavenly Book, was a staggering 1000!

This refers not to the upper limit after consuming spiritual food, but to the normal upper limit.

What kind of master could have such a high level of skill?

Chen Xu's thoughts were in turmoil.
