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

Chapter 313 The first light of dawn, a journey to the heavens.

The first day of the seventh lunar month, before dawn.

Chen Xu's literary world was suddenly thrown into turmoil.

At that time, he was resting in bed.

This was a rare moment of relaxation. If it weren't for the fact that he had to take an exam at dawn, Chen Xu would usually spend his nights meditating or cultivating in the kitchen, so it was highly unlikely that he would be able to relax and sleep like this.

But people aren't machines, and being tense for too long isn't necessarily a good thing.

Therefore, Chen Xu simply decided to relax completely before the exam.

The day before, he hadn't even studied hard.

He simply placed two water vats in the courtyard with two little demons and planted some floating rice in them.

After this period of trading and hoarding, coupled with the cultivation of the All Things Transformation Talisman, Chen Xu's floating rice seeds in his kitchen now weigh over a thousand kilograms.

This is mainly thanks to the All Things Transformation Talisman.

After all, the people of the Dust Kingdom are too small, and they can't actually grow much floating rice.

What Chen Xu considered a very small plot of land would take these little people a long time to cultivate.

Although the other party couldn't provide many floating rice or taro seeds, Chen Xu still persisted in trading with them every day.

The number of likes given by the little people was generous enough, which became Chen Xu's guaranteed income recently.

At the same time, he wasn't just doing it for profit, because dealing with scoundrels is inherently interesting.

During the process, Chen Xu also helped Wei Yuan and A Shi to make a mini waterwheel themselves.

He also traded this miniature dragon bone waterwheel to the Dust Kingdom, and using the strange passage established during the trade, he directly placed the dragon bone waterwheel on the shore of Jade Stream Lake in the Dust Kingdom.

The moment the dragon bone waterwheel started turning, Chen Xuwen heard cheers from the entire nation of Micro Dust.

"Oh, that's great! We no longer have to worry about the floating rice not getting enough water."

"We thank the gods for bestowing this divine gift. Gods above, we, your humble servants, bow in reverence!"

"This humble subject kowtows in reverence..."

Amidst the cheers, Chen Xu could clearly sense them simply by closing his eyes and focusing his mind on the smallest speck of dust.

The scene of the Dust Kingdom will appear in Chen Xu's mind from the perspective of descending from the sky.

This sometimes gave Chen Xu a strange feeling, as if he were playing a base-building game.

Of course, the citizens of Microdust are living, breathing beings, not just game characters.

Therefore, although Chen Xu engaged in trade with them, he remained cautious overall and dared not exert too much influence. He feared that he might alter the格局 (geju, a concept encompassing overall situation, overall structure, and overall balance) of the Weichen Kingdom, causing this pristine world to fall out of peace and into crisis.

He was well aware of the extent of his influence on the Dust Kingdom, so he observed rather than intervened.

Let bygones be bygones.

In short, Chen Xu has been consolidating his cultivation and gaining likes lately. He is reading books and cultivating seeds at the same time, living a very balanced life.

At night, he puts aside his distracting thoughts and rests peacefully.

When the literary world suddenly became turbulent, Chen Xu remained immediately clear-headed.

"Soaring—"

Amidst the sea of ​​literature, the sound of thunder could be heard, along with the roar of dragons.

Chen Xu looked inward and was immediately struck by an incredibly shocking scene.

Those were sections of dragon bones, rolling and revealing themselves in the boundless, abyss-like sea of ​​literature.

In the vast ocean of literature, the waves surge wildly. In comparison, the small inkstone transforms into a small boat, floating and drifting on the waves, which seems extremely dangerous.

Chen Xu was also momentarily startled.

But in an instant, he calmed down.

He calmed his mind, silently recited the incantation, and gazed at the rolling waves and the dragon bones emerging from them.

"Cease the thought when the previous thought does not arise, and observe the thought when the next thought does not cease."

"Everything is created by the mind; view emptiness as the vast void."

This is his ocean of literature; even if the ocean of literature is turbulent, what is there to fear?

Chen Xu remained calm and fearless.

His mind calmed down, and then the turbulent waves in the sea of ​​literature seemed to gradually subside.

Only the dragon bones, gradually emerging from the abyss-like seabed, continue to climb.

The colossal object rose from the seabed.

Section by section, click, click.

It didn't seem like a living thing; it was more like some kind of mechanical creation. But in the sea of ​​words at this moment, this mechanical behemoth clearly seemed to have come to life.

It gradually emerged from the churning seabed.

First, a section of dragon's body; then, a swaying dragon tail; and finally, mechanical dragon claws—

Finally, the dragon's head stood tall, and its body soared into the air.

Boom!

Then thunder roared again, and lightning illuminated the sea of ​​literature.

The enormous bone dragon coiled and twisted, amidst wind and rain.

"hold head high--"

The dragon's roar resounded throughout the sea of ​​literature.

For a fleeting moment, Chen Xu seemed to see the edge of the sea of ​​literature.

But what could be seen was a faint, undulating expanse of ink.

It seemed to be an endless mountain range, or the outline of a city, or even a vast expanse of stars, enormous and boundless...

Chen Xu couldn't make out what it was.

Yet, in an instant, boundless imagination arises.

Ultimately, my emotions surged, and for a moment I couldn't control myself.

Then, the long-roaring bone dragon twisted its body in the wind and rain and suddenly rushed towards the inkstone below.

Oh no, how can an inkstone the size of a regular boat support such a huge bone dragon?
Chen Xu was startled for a moment.

Just as he had this thought, he saw the bone dragon twist its body and then rapidly shrink.

Finally, the bone dragon landed on the bow of the inkstone boat.

It transformed into a massive dragon-bone waterwheel, occupying the entire prow of the inkstone boat—

The inkstone sank slightly downwards.

hum!
Wu Gou leaped into the air and floated above the dragon-bone waterwheel.

Thus, the dragon bone waterwheel was finally manifested in Chen Xuwen's sea.

It turns out that with the spread of the story in recent days, more and more people have used various means to quickly build dragon bone waterwheels and place them in various fields, so that they can truly play their role.

Thus, the legend of the dragon bone waterwheel quickly spread throughout the Pingyang area.

It has been heard of throughout the entire Tiannan region and other places.

As a result, Chen Xu's literary career flourished, and his literary talent rapidly increased.

However, since he has not yet obtained the title of Juren (a successful candidate in the imperial examinations), it is difficult for his literary talent to undergo further transformation.

However, the prototype of the dragon bone waterwheel still manifested in Chen Xuwen's sea.

At that time, the dragon bone was at the head, and the inkstone was slightly submerged.

Chen Xu could sense that due to insufficient transformation of his literary energy, he actually had difficulty directly driving the dragon-bone waterwheel at the moment.

Furthermore, due to the suppression of the dragon bone waterwheel at this moment, his use of literary energy was not as agile and free as before.

This is another kind of "top-heavy".

But don't worry, the provincial examination is about to begin!

Furthermore, Chen Xu's Golden Core stage cultivation was completely unaffected; he retained his strength and was full of confidence.

Chen Xu opened his eyes and saw that the sky was just beginning to brighten.

The little hedgehog gently tapped the edge of the bed and called out from beside it, "Brother Chen, get up quickly, it's time to go to the provincial examination."

Chen Xu smiled slightly and sat up.

He quickly washed up and then had breakfast with the two little demons.

As for the exam basket and other items, they had already been prepared, so there was no need to rush to pack them up at the last minute.

He moved swiftly and efficiently, preparing everything in perfect order. He then bid farewell to the two little demons and embarked on his journey to the examination hall.

The two little demons were very sensible and did not make a fuss about going to the exam with Chen Xu.

Wei Yuan, with his little mouse Ashi by his side, stood on the small table and offered his blessings: "Brother Chen, on your journey to success, Ashi and I wish you a speedy passing of the imperial examination."

Brother Chen, we're waiting for you at home.

As dawn broke, Chen Xu stepped into the examination hall, amidst a thousand rows of buildings.
