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

Chapter 334: Nowhere to be found after wearing iron shoes

Chen Xu was shocked.

Cui Yunqi said that life's encounters are incredibly wondrous, and now Chen Xu deeply agrees with this statement.

What does it mean to search high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly?
It's clearly right in front of me!

The wonder of cause and effect is truly astounding.

The Heavenly Book of the Food Cauldron beside him opened, and a prompt appeared:
[You impressed your fellow students with your literary talent and refined demeanor, causing them to be moved to tears by your writings, thus earning you one coin for "Tears of the Ink Pool."]

[Unlock new spiritual materials and gain Fireworks value +300. ]

Wow, here comes [Tears from the Sea of Literature and the Pond of Ink]!

In reality, what accompanied Cui Yunqi's enlightened words at this moment was not just this.

Meanwhile, in Chen Xu's sea of words, on the speeding ink boat, the weathered old farmer standing at the stern suddenly moved.

The half-real, half-illusory old farmer gripped his hoe tightly at the stern of the boat, then suddenly fixed his gaze on the keel waterwheel at the bow.

Then, the dragon-bone waterwheel, which was already running non-stop, suddenly extended its tail and plunged into the sea of literature!
Then, next to the keel waterwheel on the ink boat, a farmland was faintly visible.

Yes, it was a small plot of farmland, barely three feet square, that appeared on the ink boat.

This ink-stained boat is now ten zhang long. Its broad hull speeds across the sea of literature. In the center of the deck is a pool of ink, and the clear light swirling in the pool reflects Chen Xu's literary aura.

In addition, a keel waterwheel and an old farmer stand at the bow and stern of the boat, respectively.

There was a Wu hook floating on the bow of the boat, and a thin mist appeared and disappeared around the hull, but there is no need to mention these details.

In short, most of the deck of the Mexican ship was actually empty.

Now a piece of farmland has appeared next to the dragon bone waterwheel. Although the appearance of this farmland is a bit strange, fortunately the ink boat is big enough, so the appearance of the farmland does not seem crowded.

What's truly amazing is:

The waterwheel whirred and turned, and after a short while, clear water actually flowed into the farmland as the waterwheel turned.

At the stern, an old farmer gripped his hoe and walked step by step along the path on the side of the deck to the edge of the farmland, where he swung his hoe.

He's hoeing the ground!

What appeared to be an unreal farmland, when the old farmer hoeed the ground, actually turned over the soil.

After the waterwheel had been running for a while, the old farmer manually stopped it.

He carefully turned the soil with the help of the moist water, working diligently and meticulously with practiced movements and a serious expression.

A moment later, the old farmer raised his head.

Two streams of tears slid down his cheeks; the old farmer was actually crying!

The poetess's tears suddenly stirred a pang of sorrow in Chen Xu's heart.

While the others remained seated, a phantom, intangible self appeared within the sea of words, and two lines of clear tears fell.

[You have come to understand another path in the sea of literature, nourished by the myriad literary spirits of the mortal world, causing poetic inspiration to weep and ink pools to ripple, thus earning you the title of the top scholar and the tears of the ink pool.]

【The tears of the top scholar in the ink pool: The poet's tears fall, and the ink pool ripples. The tears of the top scholar in the ink pool are several times better than ordinary ones, and can be used to make rare and wonderful food.

It can increase the original power of spiritual food by more than 50%, making its harmonizing effect even better.

This is yet another unexpected surprise.

Overjoyed, Chen Xu noticed that Cui Yunqi was still wiping away tears. Recalling Cui Yunqi's enlightened words, Chen Xu suddenly had a new perspective on the world.

He said, “Brother Cui, you used to think of me as a frog in a well, only to see the vastness of the sky and the expanse of the earth. Now I see the immensity of the sky and the expanse of the earth.”

Have you ever considered whether we, like frogs looking at the sky, are still just looking at the sky from the bottom of our heads?

That's a bit too esoteric, it's all very vague.

Cui Yunqi was taken aback and exclaimed, "What?"

But Cui Yunqi wasn't stupid. After saying that, he quickly realized what he meant and hurriedly added, "Brother Chen, are you saying that there are mountains beyond mountains and heavens beyond heavens?"

Chen Xu said, "Da Li is very large, but Da Li is by no means the whole of this world."

I once thought I had seen a lot, but in reality, I may still be too ignorant.” He thought of the Dust Kingdom and the various ghost markets scattered throughout the land.

Cui Yunqi said he was once a frog in a well, looking at the sky from a limited perspective. Then wasn't Chen Xu also a frog in a well, looking at the sky from a limited perspective?

Chen Xu recalled what he had learned, especially Mr. Zhou, whom he first met in Jichuan County.

For some reason, he always felt that Mr. Zhou's strength was perhaps something that even the great Confucian scholars currently existing in Dali could not reach.

Although Chen Xu didn't know what a true Confucian scholar should look like.

The vastness of the world is still only the tip of the iceberg that has been revealed to Chen Xu.

He pondered in his heart, occasionally chatting with Cui Yunqi.

The two raised their glasses and drank together. After several rounds, Cui Yunqi's initially feverish mind gradually calmed down.

He calmed his emotions and realized that disturbing Chen Xu at this moment was extremely presumptuous and reckless.

Cui Yunqi then quickly got up and bid farewell to Chen Xu.

He hurriedly added, "Brother Chen, I've bet on you to become the top scholar in all the gambling dens in Pingyang City. Now it's time to collect my bets and profits."

Once I receive the money, I will definitely send half of the profits I have made to Brother Chen.

Brother Chen, please don't refuse!

After saying that, without waiting for Chen Xu to respond, Cui Yunqi quickly turned around and left in a hurry.

He ran so fast because he was afraid Chen Xu would refuse.

Chen Xu put down his wine glass and smiled slightly.

Two little demons came out of the house and jumped together onto the small table under the tree.

Ah Shi rushed over, looked up at Chen Xu, and said happily, "Scholar, that Cui boy is a good friend. Is he going to give you a lot of money?"

Chen Xu gently stroked its little head and said, "No rush."

Ashi didn't understand what Chen Xu meant by not being in a hurry, because after tidying up the table, Chen Xu went back to his room to meditate.

Chen Xu had been waiting for the Leap Dragon Pill for far too long.

And so, the setting sun gradually sank into the earth.

As night fell, Chen Xu had already gone in and out of the kitchen three times.

In other words, he had spent three full twelve-hour periods of his life in the kitchen in order to refine the Leap Dragon Pill.

【Leaping Dragon Pill is made by kneading together the ashes of the False River God's Karmic Fire Calamity with the Rootless Water of the Midnight Hour, the Tears of the Literary Sea Ink Pool, and the Blood of the Deer Crying to Resolve the Origin, using the Eight Methods of Spiritual Roasting.

After ingestion, one's cultivation level will greatly increase, granting the power to bind dragons and reverse waves for a quarter of an hour. The divine power will disappear after the medicinal effects dissipate, but depending on the specific circumstances, there is a certain chance that one's cultivation level will increase by one minor realm.

Chen Xu had never spent so much time and effort refining spiritual food.

Fortunately, the difficulty in refining the Leap Dragon Pill lies mainly in the collection of auxiliary materials and the need for extra care and attention during the refining process.
