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

Chapter 363 An Unexpected Gift from Mr. Zhou

Inside the cave, Chen Xu stood at the entrance, startled.

He immediately retracted the long staff, stood close to the cave wall, and at the same time, his true energy circulated in his dantian, beginning to accumulate power.

The three key techniques of summoning wind, drawing water, and controlling fire flashed through Chen Xu's mind in an instant.

These three spells were already considered to have been cultivated to an extremely high level by Chen Xu. In the Great Li Kingdom, Chen Xu could even summon wind and rain over a wide area.

However, when Chen Xu tried to mobilize his true energy, he found it extremely difficult to sense the three elements of wind, water, and fire in the world.

In other words, although he has not lost his magic, his control over it will inevitably be greatly reduced due to the barrier of heaven and earth at this moment.

In the Great Li Kingdom, the highest realm of cultivating magic is the harmony between man and heaven and earth.

Sensing the power of heaven and earth, commanding the power of heaven and earth, and controlling the power of heaven and earth!

This is the third stage of advancement in magic techniques.

Chen Xu had already reached the highest level, but now that the world had changed, everything was different.

He made a quick decision, abandoning the idea of ​​using magic, and instead placed his hand against the cave wall, quietly assuming the posture of holding a long knife.

The sword was not in his hand, but in his sea of ​​literature, it was the Wu hook.

If the visitor is dangerous, Chen Xu will suddenly draw his Wu hook from the sea of ​​books.

Gather your strength, draw your sword, and then strike!

Chen Xu is considering evil before good.

In this unfamiliar world, he dared not relax his guard even for a moment.

He pricked up his ears, listening to the conversations and noises outside the cave.

The footsteps of the two people grew closer, and they could be heard talking or discussing something between them.
"This is the Star Return Ancestor! Who would have thought that he would be recuperating in this remote little place in his later years? This place is at least 30,000 miles away from Kunlun Mirror Sea."

He would rather die in this desolate wilderness than return to Kunlun Mirror Sea. What exactly happened back then?

"This is none of our business. We're just looking for treasure. Damn it, we're supposed to be cultivators at the seventh or eighth level of Qi Refining, but in this world, we're barely able to get enough to eat."

It's all those scumbags from the Four Symbols Alliance's fault! Hypocritical and deceiving our small sect...

Wait, something's not right. Junior brother, you said there was some noise here, but I don't see anything here.

You must have seen wrong, right? Maybe some pheasant or rabbit darted by, and you just happened to notice it.

Then they heard the junior brother's voice: "No, I just saw the vines over here suddenly move. Senior brother, let's push them aside and take a look. Senior brother, do you think there might be some kind of cave or something behind this?"

Inside the cave, Chen Xu, pressed against the cave wall, slowed his breathing and even suppressed his heartbeat to almost nothing.

He heard the wind suddenly rustling outside.

Swah——

The curtain-like vines at the cave entrance were parted by a long sword with a hilt!
Bright light streamed in from outside the cave. Chen Xu pressed himself against a recess in the cave wall, his head slightly turned, his gaze moving silently, instantly taking in the two people at the cave entrance.

There were two young men who looked weathered and worn, dressed simply, even in tattered clothes.

They stood at the cave entrance, weary from their journey, their expressions all bearing the same disappointment.

In a flash, Chen Xu saw something in their disappointed eyes, and in that instant, he suppressed the urge to act immediately.

The senior brother frowned and said, "What cave? It's just a stone wall, there's nothing there."

The junior brother also said disappointedly, "Could it really have been some small mountain beast that ran by and made a noise? What a pity!"

He sighed, his tone regretful.

What do you mean?
This is clearly a cave, but these two brothers of unknown origin are actually insisting that it is a stone wall.
Chen Xu's heart skipped a beat; the strange guess he had just had was now vaguely confirmed.

Despite his speculations, Chen Xu still dared not be entirely certain of his thoughts.

He was still worried that the two people outside the cave were putting on an act to trick him. Until the senior brother of the two raised his hand and punched the cave entrance, and then there was a muffled "thud" from the cave entrance!
That was the sound of a fist colliding with the stone wall—

In Chen Xu's view, what his senior brother was punching was clearly just a piece of air.

However, judging from the actions and sounds of the two people at the cave entrance, they were clearly pounding on a "rock wall".

After a loud "thump," the senior brother said angrily, "Damn it, I can't find it anywhere."

The junior brother comforted him, saying, "After all, it's a relic left by such a master. How could it be so easy for us to find it? Let's search for a few more days."

In short, we can't go back to the desolate wilderness now. Walking around in these mountains, avoiding entanglements with those guys, is actually quite comfortable.

His words of comfort were met with no choice but to be accepted by his senior.

But my senior brother still said, "Life in the mountains is carefree, but it's not a life fit for humans."

The spiritual energy is chaotic, making cultivation impossible. There's hardly any spiritual food to eat, and my stomach is practically bursting with hunger. The wild animals taste like wood chips! Ugh!

With a sigh, he seemed to recall something that angered him, and suddenly drew his long sword, slashing at the vines hanging down in front of the stone wall.

As the sword flashed, vines fell in a flurry, instantly severing a large section of them.

The senior brother let out a brief breath before sheathing his sword and saying, "Let's go, let's go, let's go take another look around the eastern mountain."

The junior brother said, "Perfect timing. The spiritual energy over there seems to be a bit gentler. Maybe some spiritual flowers and herbs can survive there. If we can gather some spiritual herbs and give them back to our senior sister, she will be quite happy."

The senior brother should have said, "I hope so."

As the two were talking, one turned and left.

All that remained was a patch of vines behind them and the cave they had ignored.

Hidden inside the cave, Chen Xu finally became completely certain of his suspicions—

No, nowadays, this is no longer just a guess.

Chen Xu is now certain that the two people could not have seen the cave he was in!
Is it an illusion? Is it a magic circle?
Or is it some other mystery that Chen Xu cannot understand?
In any case, this is definitely great news.

This cave is hidden, even possessing a mystical quality, making it impossible for outsiders to see, which greatly ensures the safety of the murals inside.

After calming down, Chen Xu decided to leave the cave immediately.

He was going to secretly follow the two men to learn more about the world.

Before leaving the cave, Chen Xu released his Taoist soldier puppet from the kitchen.

It is worth mentioning that after the Dao Soldier Puppet was summoned, it was not subjected to the pressure and oppression of this world!

Chen Xu was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he vaguely had the answer.

Perhaps because the Taoist puppets have no life, they are not subject to oppression.

This is good news; the Dao Soldier Puppet now possesses 50% of Chen Xu's full-power combat strength.

With Chen Xu himself being suppressed, the Daoist soldier puppets became one of Chen Xu's best trump cards.

However, Chen Xu summoned the Dao Soldier Puppet not to take it with him.

Instead, Chen Xu left the Taoist puppet in the cave.

He worried that after leaving the cave, he would also be like those two fellow disciples, never to see the cave again.

Therefore, by leaving behind the Taoist soldier puppet, Chen Xu would not have to worry about not being able to find his way back, as long as he could connect with the Taoist soldier.

Chen Xu stepped out of the cave and began to carefully chase after the direction in which the two brothers had left.

Interestingly, not long after, he discovered another strange situation.
