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

Chapter 224 Evil causes lead to evil consequences, good causes lead to good consequences

Chen Xu was taken aback.

A new hint has appeared in the Book of Culinary Delight.

He couldn't help but look back at the village below, only to find that the flames in the village had been completely extinguished at some point.

All the noise in the village vanished at this moment, except for a single drop of [Corpse Demon Dew] that was captured by the Food Cauldron Heavenly Book.

【Corpse Demon Dew】 is formed from the accumulated resentment of old corpses at the bottom of the Shattered Jade River over many years; it is actually the essence of water-based demonic energy.

As the saying goes, things reach their extremes and then reverse; the extreme of demons gives rise to immortals; the Corpse Demon Dew can be used for the path of immortality.

By gathering and refining snow from the previous year, water at noon, and volcanic spring water, one can obtain a Water Spirit Crystal. Consuming this crystal will greatly increase one's aptitude for water-based magic.

Upon seeing the entry for Corpse Demon Dew, Chen Xu couldn't help but be slightly startled.

The most important part of this entire entry is the last sentence: "[Greatly increases aptitude for water-based magic.]"

It should be noted that Chen Xu's talent descriptions regarding "comprehension" are always extremely restrained.

Similar to the Lotus Wisdom-Boosting Soup that Chen Xu ate, or the Three-Two Pastries of Mortal World, although they both seem to have the effect of increasing enlightenment, the explanations of these two spiritual foods in the entries have always been vague.

The wording used is such as "it can slightly increase one's wisdom" or "it can help solve difficult problems and provide inspiration at critical moments."

In short, even if these spiritual foods can increase one's comprehension, the degree of increase is negligible.

Or it may be time-sensitive; once the time limit is over, the inspiration is lost.

Unlike this [Water Spirit Crystal], whose entry actually states that consuming it can [significantly increase one's aptitude for water-based magic].

Chen Xu currently knows quite a few spells, but the first one he uses well is fire control, and the second is wind summoning.

Fire control has now broken through to level three, allowing the user to capture some of the power of karmic fire. With this karmic fire present, evil spirits and wicked obstacles will find it difficult to escape.

This is also the reason why Chen Xu was able to easily burn away the true spirit of the old woman Zhu Xian.

If Chen Xu's fire control technique had not broken through to level three and he had not been able to capture that trace of karmic fire power, he probably wouldn't have been able to burn Zhu Xianpo's true spirit with his original level two spiritual fire.

As for the Windcaller, Chen Xu's current experience is [Level 2 (532/1000)].

Only with the Water Diversion Technique, although Chen Xu had also broken through to level two, his experience points were increasing very slowly.

[Secondary Water Diversion Project (135/1000)]

At this rate, it will obviously take a long time for water diversion to break through to level three.

But if it can be refined into water spirit crystals, everything will be different.

However, the auxiliary materials for refining water spirit crystals are somewhat difficult to find, such as last year's snow, midday water, and volcanic spring water...

The following year's snowfall is alright; perhaps we can find it by searching a snow-capped mountain.

The water at noon should be the water that falls at noon on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, which is considered to be extremely yang.

Don't even mention that it's unlikely to rain during the Dragon Boat Festival. Even if you were lucky enough to catch rain during the Dragon Boat Festival, this year's Dragon Boat Festival has already passed.

If we want to get water at noon, do we have to wait until next year's Dragon Boat Festival?

Finally, volcanic springs are springs of water found inside volcanoes.

This is also very difficult to find. Chen Xu even began to doubt whether it was possible that even after years of hard work, he had managed to upgrade his water-drawing technique to level three, he still hadn't found the volcanic spring.

That seems very likely.

This also led Chen Xu to recognize the new characteristics of spiritual materials from a different perspective.

He discovered that some of the spiritual materials he had recently unlocked had started to have various usage barriers.

Not only are the properties of spiritual materials becoming more and more extensive, but auxiliary materials are also beginning to have their own unique characteristics.

Aside from the fact that the [Corpse Demon Dew] is difficult to use, there's also the Karmic Fire Ashes left behind by the old woman Zhu Xianpo.

To use this karmic fire ashes, the necessary auxiliary materials are [Midnight Rootless Water, Tears of the Literary Sea and Ink Pool, and Blood of the Deer Crying Scholar]. The Midnight Rootless Water is not difficult to obtain.

So-called "rootless water" is actually just rainwater falling from the sky. "Rootless water at midnight" is at most just the condition that "rain falls at midnight".

The phrase "tears in the inkwell of the literary sea" is rather mysterious.

All Chen Xu could think of was the day he would be overcome with intense emotion and shed tears in the inkwell.

Otherwise, where would he find the tears of Wenhai Mochi?

We can't exactly find a Confucian or Taoist master to beat the other party until they're crying in an ink pool, can we?

what……

This doesn't seem like it's impossible?
Cough, Chen Xu quickly stopped his absurd thoughts.

It's not advisable to do this if there's no grudge between you.

As for the last one, Deer Cry Blood Essence, this is actually the easiest to obtain.

It's nothing more than going to participate in the provincial examination, getting the top score, and then letting a few drops of blood be shed at the Deer Cry Banquet.

Then, refine the ashes of the karmic fire into the Dragon Leaping Pill!
Chen Xu lit the small red clay stove, and as his thoughts turned to this, his previously complex emotions were somewhat diluted.

He flipped his palm and took out a small, emerald-green herb. He kneaded the herb in his palm for a moment using the Eight Methods of Spiritual Roasting, and then, as the water in the jar boiled and a strange whirlpool appeared in the center, he suddenly threw the emerald-green herb into it.

Upon seeing this, Wei Yuan, who was sitting on the rock, exclaimed in surprise: "Emerald Needle Grass!"

Chen Xu smiled slightly and said, "It is indeed the Emerald Needle Grass. You originally sought it out to heal my injuries, but I was not actually injured before, and I do not have any other healing items on hand at the moment."

This green needle grass will ultimately be used to treat Fellow Daoist Wei.

Ah Yuan, shouldn't you thank your past self?

Wei Yuan blinked, not expecting that Fellow Daoist Chen could be so mischievous, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

Only a hint of embarrassment crept onto the little hedgehog's face.

Wei Yuan sat upright, feeling warm inside.

Then Chen Xu said, "Ah Yuan, I also want to thank you. Thank you for saving me, and for saving yourself."

There are many evil causes and evil consequences in the world, but you have planted good causes with me and reaped good results.

It made me realize that even though there is so much filth in this world, there are also beings as pure and beautiful as you.

This prevents me from becoming depressed because of the evil thoughts in the world.

Ah Yuan, seeing you is like seeing a gentle breeze and a bright moon.

Wei Yuan stared wide-eyed, his face flushed, completely mesmerized and captivated by the performance.

It stammered, wanting to say a thousand words to Chen Xu, but it was too tongue-tied and couldn't utter a single sentence.

"Fellow Daoist Chen... I... I... I..."

It wanted to say that it was not as good as that, but it also wanted to say that Chen Xu's words were so pleasant to listen to, and that he was the real "pure breeze and bright moon".

No, Chen Xu is like a gentle breeze and a bright moon, not because he speaks eloquently.

He simply is!
He just wouldn't say such sweet words to the little hedgehog. In the little hedgehog's heart, he would always be that scholar lighting a lamp under the moonlight by the small window.

That night, he lit a lamp in the room, just like lighting a star in the little hedgehog's vast and chaotic life.

The light of these stars is so enduring, shining brightly in the past, in the present, and will continue to shine for a long, long time to come, amidst the hustle and bustle of the world.

Wei Yuan's eyes welled up with tears again.

It was so excited that it couldn't speak for a long time. Suddenly, it grabbed its book box and rummaged through it, pulling out a whole bunch of books.
