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

Chapter 344 Vast Clouds and Boundless Heaven and Earth

Beside Chen Xu, the Book of Food and Delight was opened.

His action of throwing the roast chicken had earned him praise from three top experts.

Thus, the Book of Food and Delight captured three more spiritual materials.

[In this world, nothing touches the soul more directly than food. You broke down the barrier between humans and demons with your culinary skills, earning the sincere praise of a wolf demon in the Demon Core Realm.]

Obtained the third-tier spirit material, Demon Spirit Incense.

【Three-fold Demon Spirit Incense: Grind this incense into powder, mix it with the blood of a cultivator, and stir-fry it using the Eight Methods of Spiritual Roasting for more than thirty-six hours.

You can obtain the Three-Tier Demon Spirit Guiding Incense.

Scatter this fragrance into the rain and let it blend into the wind. If any spirit smells it, it will be at the maker's command for thirty-six hours.

Note: The higher the cultivation level of the demon spirits being controlled, the fewer the number of demon spirits; the lower the cultivation level, the more demon spirits are controlled.

The highest cultivation level of the demon spirit being commanded must not exceed the early stage of the Demon Core Realm; otherwise, a backlash will occur.

This……

This Three-Turn Demon Spirit Incense is such a wondrous thing!
Of course, due to the limitations this thing places on the cultivation level of the "spirit it controls," it seems somewhat useless in a way.

However, in Chen Xu's view, there are no truly useless spiritual objects in the world, only people who don't know how to use them.

Just like the roast chicken he threw out.

Did that roast chicken have any lethality whatsoever?

No.

From the moment that roast chicken is roasted, its destiny is to be eaten.

But it was this very roast chicken that quickly solved the problem of the wolf demon, a problem that even a great Confucian scholar would find troublesome.

However, there is still a small problem.

For example, if Wen Daoyuan gives a thumbs up, his initial number of thumbs up is [2000] points.

The wolf demon's initial number of likes was [1000] points.

From this perspective, Wen Daoyuan's strength should have been twice that of the wolf demon.

In theory, Wen Daoyuan could suppress the wolf demon with just a gentle exhale.

However, it seems that Daoyuan does not possess such strength.

After careful consideration and with feedback from the Culinary Cauldron Heavenly Book, Chen Xu quickly understood:
It turns out that while the number of likes is, to some extent, directly linked to the "strength" of the person who likes it, "strength" is not entirely equivalent to combat power.

"Strength" also includes a person's vitality, reputation, background, potential... It is an extremely complex system that is difficult to analyze clearly based on numerical values ​​alone.

However, their "combat strength" is different.

It simply represents the fighting power of those who give a thumbs up, but from some perspectives, fighting power is actually more volatile than "strength".

For example, a child versus a strong man.

If a strong man is fast asleep, and a child stabs him with a sharp blade, the strong man will die on the spot before he can react.

But even if the boy killed the strong man, can you say that the boy's fighting ability was stronger than the strong man's?
Of course it's impossible.

Chen Xu thus concluded that the number of likes captured by the Food Cauldron Heavenly Book could not fully analyze the combat power of the likers.

Chen Xu can only use this as a reference, but cannot rely on it too much.

Otherwise, he would likely make a big mistake in observing the enemy.

He silently noted down the conclusion while quickly scanning the other clues on the cryptic book.

[You broke down the barrier between humans and demons with your culinary skills, earning the sincere praise of a snake demon from the Demon Core Realm. You also obtained one pound of Thousand-Spirit Earth Crystal.]

【The Thousand Spirit Earth Crystal, after being crushed, can be mixed with Ten Thousand Year Snow and Demon Bone Powder to make Earth Essence】

Sprinkle this essence of earth onto the land; when plants and living beings consume it, their growth will accelerate and their energy will greatly increase.

This item is extraordinary!

The next notification is also: [You have unlocked a new spirit material, Fireworks Value +1000]

[Reward: +300 Likes] [You touched the heart of the great Confucian scholar with your delicious food, earning his wholehearted praise and receiving one Azure Lotus Seed, a spiritual material.]

Climbing along these lotus vines, one may glimpse the subtleties of a higher realm.

If these lotus seeds are brewed in the finest spiritual wine for ten years, consuming it will add three hundred years to one's lifespan.

[You have unlocked a new spirit material; your Fireworks Value has increased by 1000]

[Reward: +300 likes]

After reading the entry for "Azure Lotus Seeds," Chen Xu was momentarily stunned.

What is meant by the subtlety of a higher level of the world?
Yes, this world is not simple.

Its vastness is such that even after flying thousands of miles across the southern and northern borders, Chen Xu still seems unable to see its entirety.

Sometimes, he felt like he was a frog in a well.

He always wanted to see a higher, broader, and more boundless world!
As for the claim that consuming Qingyun Lotus Seeds could add three hundred years to one's lifespan, Chen Xu at this moment seemed to consider it negligible.

A lifespan of three hundred years is not to be underestimated, but Chen Xu is not without a lifespan of three hundred years.

He was no different from many practitioners in the world, also pursuing immortality.

However, at the same time, Chen Xu was never actually obsessed with immortality.

If one is forever confined to a small space, like a caged bird or a garden beast, what good is immortality?
The cloud boat soars swiftly, the breeze rushing by like a knife.

Standing on the cloud boat, Chen Xu saw the rising sun in the distant sky, and it seemed as if he could also see the vast universe behind the rising sun.

What secrets does this world hold?
He was unaware.

But I only felt that my heart was filled with the rising sun, and I was full of joy.

Beside him, Wen Daoyuan ate a piece of meat and a sip of wine, and before he knew it, he had finished the whole chicken and the whole pot of wine.

Wen Daoyuan stopped eating abruptly when all that was left in front of him was a pile of chicken bones and no more wine could be poured from his gourd.

Then he looked at the empty plate in front of him, then at Chen Xu next to him, coughed twice, and laughed awkwardly.

Even a great scholar might feel awkward eating alone...

Wen Daoyuan hurriedly swept his sleeve, and the chicken bones and empty plates on the cloud boat in front of him disappeared.

He also put the empty wine gourd into his storage space.

Wen Daoyuan then took out a clean white handkerchief, wrapped it around his wide sleeve, and wiped the grease off his mouth.

"Cough!" He coughed again and looked at Chen Xu.

Chen Xu also looked at him.

The two faced each other for a moment, and then Wen Daoyuan suddenly burst into laughter.

"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed." Wen Daoyuan laughed and then coughed. He said, "I still have a few jars of fine wine at home. Xuzhi, after this matter is settled, come to my house, and I will definitely treat you to some divine wine!"

Wow, it's divine wine!

Chen Xu's eyes lit up immediately.

Wen Daoyuan carefully folded the handkerchief he had used to wipe his mouth and put it back in his sleeve, then said, "Xuzhi, where did you get this chicken? Do you have any more?"

Yes, although Wen Daoyuan had specifically learned about Chen Xu's life experiences beforehand, he did not know that Chen Xu was actually a "cook".

The main surprise was that this incredibly delicious roast chicken was actually made by Chen Xu himself.

Chen Xu said, "Master Wen, I personally roasted this chicken. If you wish to eat it, I can make it again anytime."

Wen Daoyuan looked at him strangely: "You did this?"

Chen Xu smiled slightly and said, "That's right, I did it."

Hey!
Just as Wen Daoyuan was about to say something more, he saw the cloud boat suddenly accelerate, sailing past the sweltering northern frontier, and in the next instant, it crossed the Yunheng Mountain Range.

So, from north to south.

All that could be seen were the thirty-six prefectures of the southern border, shrouded in vast, rolling clouds.

Below, thousands of rivers surge and flow, as if a colossal entity is brewing.
