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

Chapter 282 Aquatic Treasures, Use with Caution!
Beside Chen Xu, the Book of Food and Delight was opened.

One of the hints was actually given when Chi Jie died, but Chen Xu's attention was mostly focused on his conversation with Canxing Shuijun at the time, so he didn't have time to check it.

At that moment, a second notification popped up, and Chen Xu took the time to check it as well.

The Heartless Fruit is the ultimate object of love and hate in the world, obtained by the intense will of a living being when it is on the verge of death.

Making this fruit into a jelly and adding it to delicious food can help diners let go of all distractions and return to their true desires.

As the saying goes, love breeds sorrow and fear; if one is free from love and hate, there is neither sorrow nor fear.

Note: Is the absence of love and hate, and the absence of all distracting thoughts, truly the highest path?
Use with caution!

The Heavenly Book's prompt even emphasized "use with caution," which is unusual considering that even a powerful item like the [Hundred Causes Fruit] never had a "use with caution" warning in the Heavenly Book's prompts.

However, the "Fruit of a Hundred Evils" has been warned to "use with caution".

However, although there is only one word difference between "needs to be used with caution" and "use with caution", the meaning of "use with caution" is clearly stronger.

Chen Xu discovered that every word in the celestial book's hints was extremely profound. Lost in thought, he then examined the second hint:

【Demon Heart Lotus Pod: When a Great Demon at the Core Formation Realm is sincerely convinced, the Demon Heart Lotus Pod will open. Cooking or frying this lotus pod will yield a Demon Pod with slight characteristics of a grotto-heaven.】

The Demon Heart Lotus Chamber can house lesser demons, who can cultivate within it for extended periods, resulting in a calming and focused mind.

It can assist in entering a meditative state and refining one's cultivation.

Note: Demons residing within the Demon Heart Lotus Chamber must possess a cultivation level exceeding the Core Formation Realm.

It was yet another extremely strange object.

The appearance of this Demon Heart Lotus Pod immediately reminded Chen Xu of Wei Yuan, the little hedgehog.

Wei Yuan was with him, and they were just short of a place to stay.

The Demon Heart Lotus Pod was truly an unexpected delight.

It was precisely because of this demonic lotus chamber that the Dao soldiers lingered on the glass island for a little longer.

Canxing Shuijun hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay, saying, "Fellow Daoist Chen, I have a Water Soul Pearl that I would like to give to you. Please do not refuse and let me say one more word."

As he spoke, Shining Water Lord raised his snake head, opened his mouth, and a huge pearl shimmering with a faint blue light floated out of his mouth.

At that moment, the moonlight finally broke through the clouds completely.

The moonlight shone down, reflecting off the deep blue pearl. At first glance, it seemed as if there was a rushing sound of water flowing inside the pearl.

For a moment, this Water Soul Pearl seemed to be something otherworldly, more like a precious pearl filled with moonlight.

The moonlight seemed to transform into ripples of water, gently lingering inside the pearl.

Shining Water Lord said he had a treasure to give to Chen Xu to repay his life-saving grace, and this was absolutely true.

The Taoist priest held a long spear in his right hand and gently opened his left palm.

The Water Spirit Pearl, imbued with its own spirituality, flew across the void above the Dao Soldier's palm.

Interestingly, the Water Spirit Pearl was as big as an adult's fist, while the Dao Soldier was only three feet tall.

So much so that when the Water Spirit Pearl hung above the Dao Soldier's palm, it looked as if the Dao Soldier was holding a bright moon.

A soft sigh came from Daobing's mouth: "The Water Lord's hospitality is too kind for me to refuse, so I will accept it."

The Water Spirit Pearl also has an entry, which displays:

The Water Spirit Pearl is a rare treasure of heaven and earth, naturally formed in a land of water and spiritual energy, with only one pearl appearing every thousand years. It contains the essence of water and, when left to stand naturally, absorbs the essence of the sun and moon, producing a cup of spiritual spring water daily.

On the night of a full moon, one can freely change the nature and direction of the spiritual spring once.

Wearing the Water Spirit Bead provides protection from water and has a certain effect on the purity and refinement of one's cultivation.

The entry for the Water Spirit Pearl is quite interesting. One very crucial point is that "on every full moon night, the nature and direction of the spiritual spring can be freely changed once."

What does it mean to "change the nature and direction of the spiritual spring"?
This statement is indeed somewhat vague and strange.

Fortunately, Chen Xu, being a user of the terminology talent, quickly understood the meaning of this explanation on his own.

In layman's terms, the spiritual spring generated by the Water Spirit Pearl originally did not have any attribute bias.

Just like the Jade Dew Spring Water in Chen Xu's kitchen, its nature is neutral and peaceful. Although its spiritual energy is weak and its grade is low, Jade Dew Spring Water is the most universal type of spiritual spring.

It can be used in the cooking of many delicious dishes.

The original spiritual spring of the Water Soul Pearl is a general spiritual spring similar to the Jade Dew Spring, but this spiritual spring has more spiritual energy and can be called a superior spiritual spring.

Changing the nature and direction means that on every full moon night, Chen Xu can designate the Water Spirit Pearl to have a special bias.

For example, change the general spiritual spring to [volcanic spring]!
In this way, the volcanic spring that Chen Xu had searched for but could not find could be generated by this Water Soul Pearl!
If you have collected enough [Volcanic Spring] and wish to further change the nature of the spiritual spring, simply wait for the next full moon night.

This Water Spirit Pearl is truly a mysterious and wondrous treasure.

What's most amazing is that this item, which might be just a rare treasure that can refine spiritual energy, is like a precious sword in the hands of a hero or rouge on a beauty's face in Chen Xu's hands.

It can truly be said that you search high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly.

The wonders of life are truly remarkable!
Chen Xu accepted the Water Soul Pearl, and Dao Bing suddenly reached out and pointed to the side.

Suddenly, a white light appeared, which was the blazing karmic fire that was ignited remotely by the Taoist soldier.

Starry Water Lord was startled. He turned his snake head and saw the crimson flames, faintly glowing with white-gold light, fall to the ground and then fall into the air.

It turns out that all the traces Chi Jie left behind were traces of his life.

The scattered blood fragments from his self-destruction, his malevolent aura, and the strange, broken threads all ignited in the void.

The flames came on extremely fast and fiercely, but what was strange was that, despite watching the intense flames grow bigger and bigger right next to him, Shining Water could not feel any heat from them at all.

There was no burning sensation from the high temperature, only a raging aura, like a silent funeral, which instantly burned all traces left by Chi Jie to ashes.

A moment later, a clump of white ash fell into the Dao soldier's palm.

Shining Water Lord stared blankly, discovering that all the wreckage from the battle had completely vanished after being burned.

It was as if the battle that nearly cost him his life had never existed.

It was as if Chi Jie had never been there.

Finally, Daobing gently waved his hand, and the ball of white ash floated to the front of Canxing Shuijun.

Dao Bing's voice rang out with a strange and ethereal quality: "Water Lord, this substance has a rapid healing effect when ingested. You may take it to relieve your pain."

【Blazing Heart Demonic Path Ashes】These are the ashes left behind after the death of demonic cultivators who possess all five poisons. They are refined by burning with karmic fire and can be consumed by demons and ghosts to heal serious injuries.

The effects are especially pronounced when taken by those with a causal relationship to it.
