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

Chapter 383 Traversing the Clouds, Gathering Clouds to Cultivate Qi

Inside the cabin, Ji Yang excitedly took out two storage pouches.

Murder and robbery seem to be an unavoidable part of a cultivator's life journey.

Although it was Chen Xu, not Ji Yang, who committed the murder this time, Ji Yang was still deeply involved.

He first took out all the supplies he had purchased on behalf of Chen Xu from his storage pouch and asked, "Senior, should I leave these spiritual items here, or should I continue to keep them for you temporarily?"

Chen Xu said, "Release."

A joyful smile spread across Ji Yang's honest face as he busily gathered all the supplies onto the small table beside him.

He was pleased with Chen Xu's response.

Nowadays, no matter what the situation, as long as the mysterious senior responds, it is something to be happy about for Ji Yang.

He was terrified and muttered to himself, but there was no response from the air.

What he feared most was that the mysterious senior would silently disappear from his life at some unknown time.

That would be a huge blow to Ji Yang.

He took the items one by one.

The table wasn't big, but the supplies were plentiful.

Fortunately, every time Ji Yang placed a few items and the small table seemed about to overflow, Chen Xu would take those supplies away and disappear from Ji Yang's sight.

Ji Yang was very curious and wanted to know exactly where Chen Xu was, but ultimately he was afraid of the other party's authority and dared not look any further.

He could only offer random words to distract himself:

"By the way, senior, we have the Heavenly Boat Merchant Guild's Treasure Tokens in our hands, which have accumulated eight chances to draw from the Heavenly Secret Box."

But now that we've gone to Canglan City, who knows if this Hundred Treasures Token will ever be of any use?

At this point, Ji Yang's tone couldn't help but reveal a hint of regret.

With the ten draws accumulated using the Treasure Tokens, you're guaranteed to get a Xuan-level spiritual item!
Ji Yang's decision to leave Bailiu City was originally an impulsive act.

But now, thinking about the losses, he immediately felt heartbroken.

But then the mysterious elder said, "Does Canglan City not have the Sky Boat Merchant Guild?"

Ji Yang was taken aback for a moment, then quickly said, "There should be, there should be..." After a pause, he added with certainty, "There definitely is!"

Although he was not very knowledgeable, he knew that the Sky Boat Chamber of Commerce was located in various regions.

Then the mysterious senior laughed: "Since there is a Heavenly Boat Chamber of Commerce, how can the method of using the Heavenly Secret Box not circulate throughout the entire Chamber of Commerce?"
Don't worry, in just a few days, the Tianzhou Chamber of Commerce in Canglan City will definitely launch the Tianji Box.

At that time, the Hundred Treasures Token will have plenty of uses.

What Chen Xu didn't say was that even if the Sky Boat Merchant Guild in Canglan City didn't release the Heavenly Secret Box and the Hundred Treasures Token, returning to Bailiu City would only be a matter of buying a boat ticket.

When they were penniless, they felt that a ticket costing one hundred Qi Hua Dan was extremely expensive.

But one day, these hundred Qi Hua Dan tickets will be nothing.

Chen Xu said no more to Ji Yang.

Although he was going to Canglan City to find a suitable sect to join, it didn't mean he was going to give up on the Golden Abacus line.

Most importantly, the murals of the Dali Kingdom are located in the desolate mountains not far from Bailiu City.

That was the path Chen Xu had taken, and he couldn't just abandon it.

Above the blue sky, the flying boat soared into the sky.

A commotion arose outside, first followed by the sound of a work chant: "Woo-woo-woo—"

"White Willow City, on our way to Qixia Valley, let's set off!"

Then came the clamor of the crowd: "We're going to Qixiawu. We can get there before dawn tomorrow and see the sunrise over Qixiawu."

"Indeed, the Bailiucheng route is the best, as it passes through Qixiawu, Luoyanling, Tiebiguan... every place is worth seeing."

"But along the route from Bailiu City, there are few major cities that pass through, not even Qingxi City."

"What big city can compare to Canglan City? What's so great about those small towns?"

On the contrary, Qixiawu is a place where you can see the sea of ​​clouds and perhaps even comprehend the Cloud Sea Sword Technique. Luoyanling is full of spirit geese. Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could form a bond with a spirit goose?

And there's also Iron Wall Pass..."

The crowd was talking, buzzing with chatter.

A cacophony of sounds drifted in, seemingly from near and far.

Ji Yang listened intently, his heart filled with curiosity.

Chen Xu ignored all of this. After taking all the supplies that belonged to him, he left all the Qi Hua Dan to Ji Yang.

He then told Ji Yang, "You can continue to manage these for me temporarily."

The main problem is that he can't buy anything with the Qi Hua Dan.

Before his true self "integrates" into this world, Chen Xu still needs Ji Yang as a "transfer station".

Of course, he wouldn't treat Ji Yang unfairly.

After that, Ji Yang opened Xia Cunlin's storage bag.

When Ji Yang opened this storage pouch, he felt an even stronger sense of anticipation than when he opened the "Heavenly Secret Box".

He hoped there would be a surprise in Xia Cunlin's storage pouch.

With a clatter, a bunch of items landed on the small table.

First, there are two money bags.

There are a total of 367 Qingfu coins and 16 Qi Hua pills.

Ji Yang opened the two items and was immediately disappointed: "Xia Cunlin is actually so poor!"

He was somewhat indignant.

For a moment, he even forgot that before meeting the mysterious senior, he was even poorer than Xia Cunlin.

He couldn't even find ten Qi Hua Pills on his body, while Xia Cunlin at least had sixteen.

Let's look at the rest of the miscellaneous items.

There's no need to elaborate on things like fasting pills, low-grade talismans, and low-level Yuanling pills that aid cultivation; among them, the most valuable are the low-level Yuanling pills.

Two bottles containing twenty Yuanling Pills are also worth ten Qihua Pills.

Ji Yang categorized and arranged these items, estimated their value, and explained and reported to Chen Xu.

Suddenly, Chen Xu said, "These are all for you."

Ji Yang was stunned. Before the surprise could spread, he heard Chen Xu say, "This thing belongs to me."

Chen Xu was referring to a small twig among the pile of nameless objects, which looked the most charred and withered, resembling a piece of charcoal.

Before Ji Yang could figure out what Chen Xu was referring to, the withered branch vanished into thin air from among the pile of objects.

Sure enough, there was a surprise in Xia Cunlin's storage pouch.

For Chen Xu, the surprise was this withered branch.

Entry Tips:

【A thousand-year-old piece of wood struck by lightning without a heart, if carried with you, has a certain effect of warding off evil spirits and can improve your luck to a certain extent.】

However, be aware that an increase in luck may have a backlash.

The timing of the backlash is uncertain; caution is advised...

Upon seeing just this, Chen Xu naturally made some connections.

This piece of heartless wood struck by lightning can actually enhance one's luck!

Perhaps, Xia Cunlin's ability to join the Four Symbols Alliance and encounter the "suddenly rich" Ji Yang in the Hundred Battles Ruins is the result of his improved fortune.

After all, under normal circumstances, Ji Yang's cultivation level was low, and he suddenly became "rich". If Xia Cunlin wanted to, he could have easily slaughtered this "fat sheep".

Xia Cunlin acted in exactly that way.

But he never expected that Chen Xu was behind Ji Yang.

Xia Cunlin, who was in the late stage of Qi Refining, was about to deal with Ji Yang, who was in the middle stage of Qi Refining, but was killed by Chen Xu, who was in the Golden Core stage, with a single blow!
This, perhaps, is a backlash from bad luck.

If Xia Cunlin had acted differently, perhaps this backlash wouldn't have happened.

Or even if it exists, he can resolve it peacefully.

But he chose to target Ji Yang, leading him down a dead end.

Is this a twist of fate, or an inevitable consequence of Xia Cunlin's character?
Chen Xu took the lightning-struck heartless wood for two reasons: first, he was secretly curious about the concept of luck; second, this lightning-struck heartless wood actually had a second definition: "[A thousand-year-old lightning-struck heartless wood, after being calcined with karmic fire to remove impurities, is ground into powder, mixed with frost-cold spring water, and supplemented with ten-thousand-year-old snow, can be made into a wish-fulfilling pill.]"

The "Follow Your Heart Pill" allows one to adjust their cultivation and energy at will within seven days of taking it.

Let it be presented as you wish.

The minimum adjustment is two levels lower, and the maximum adjustment is two levels higher.

This is a really good thing.

When Chen Xu saw the explanation for this second term, his first thought was that if he really chose to join a certain sect in the future, he might be able to adjust his cultivation level with the Heart-Fulfilling Pill.

It's not being raised, it's being lowered.

The reduction wasn't for anything like "pretending to be weak to take advantage of others."

Instead, Chen Xu had learned from his previous understanding that most sects, even when issuing recruitment notices, did not recruit cultivators above the Golden Core stage.

Chen Xu wanted to join a certain sect, but his Golden Core stage cultivation level became an obstacle.

Of course, this issue is not absolute, so although Chen Xu was worried about it at first, he did not change his idea of ​​finding a suitable sect.

Unexpectedly, killing Xia Cunlin brought such a pleasant surprise.

The airship sailed into the blue sky and began to disappear into the clouds.

Inside the cabin, Ji Yang stayed quietly, only occasionally peeking out the narrow window to look at the view, and otherwise did nothing else.

He was both apprehensive and excited about this long journey.

However, because Chen Xu had previously said that he was noisy, he dared not say much at this moment, even though he had a lot to say.

Chen Xu, on the other hand, focused his attention on the bustling kitchen.

He needed to make the "Wish-Fulfilling Pill" and also reorganize all the supplies he had previously purchased.

Various types of spiritual rice and spiritual materials need to be categorized. In addition, Chen Xu also needs to plant the Azure Cloud Lotus Seeds.

This was his hope for traveling between the world of murals and the realm of the celestial stars.

Chen Xu also wants to try planting the various spirit rice seeds he purchased earlier.

He has a lot to do, a myriad of tasks, all of which need to be completed one by one.

Fortunately, his Fireworks Points have become plentiful again. Otherwise, entering the Fireworks Kitchen once in the Xuan Tian Star Realm would cost a thousand Fireworks Points. Without some resources, Chen Xu wouldn't even dare to enter the Fireworks Kitchen casually anymore.

[Fireworks value: 29896]

[You have consumed 1000 Firework Points and entered the Firework Kitchen.]

Chen Xu checked his cultivation level and life soul in the kitchen filled with smoke and fire.

[Cultivation Level: Golden Core Stage 3 (45.66%)]

[Current Status: Soul Forging in Progress (6.19/1000)]

[Soul: 6]

Unbeknownst to him, his cultivation level had changed from the third level of the Golden Core stage (39.9%) to (45.66%).

His cultivation progressed not only, but his life soul also unexpectedly grew to level 6.

Wait a minute, why did his life force suddenly increase to 6?
This is certainly a good thing, but Chen Xu needs to find out the reason.

Is it because he constantly resists the pressure of this world that he has achieved natural growth?

No, not only.

Or is it because he killed another person?

Or perhaps it's because he became more deeply involved in the affairs of this world?

Chen Xu pondered carefully and then looked through the various hints on the front and back of the Food Cauldron Heavenly Book.

He ultimately concluded that all factors were at play.

One particularly important point is that he became more deeply involved in the affairs of this realm, and had a further impact on the development of certain things in this realm.

For example, the appearance of the Heavenly Secret Box.

Regardless of whether the impact is positive or negative, or what its significance is, it has had an effect, so Chen Xu's life force has increased significantly again!

The first obvious benefit of increasing his life soul to level 6 is that the oppressive force of this world on Chen Xu has been reduced.

At this point, Chen Xu's available strength had recovered to 60%.

We are not far from fully unleashing our full potential.

At the same time, the corresponding problem is that Chen Xu may very well emerge from the special state of "seemingly real and seemingly unreal".

By then, his advantage of being "transparent" will be completely gone.

Chen Xu planned and pondered in the kitchen, and started his planting business.

Unbeknownst to him, in the distant Great Li Kingdom, atop Xiaofeng Mountain, Mr. Zhou let out a sigh:
"In just two or three days, he was about to be seen by the world."

I will no longer be able to protect him, alas…

The "he" here naturally refers to Chen Xu.

The water mirror on Xiaofeng Mountain has been removed.

The earth-shaking South-to-North Water Diversion Project, which happened just the day before yesterday, now seems like it has been years.

It's like an eternity.

The emperor remains unconscious, while disaster victims in the northern frontier return to their homes, some crying, some laughing, as everything awaits reconstruction.

Chen Xu's name was sung by the world, truly like oil being poured on a raging fire.

Chen Xu was completely unaware of all of this.

All he knew was that the flying boat from the Xuan Tian Star Realm traversed thousands of miles of rivers and mountains overnight.

It seemed fast, yet it also seemed not so fast.

During this time, the flying boat traveled through the clouds and encountered several other flying boats flying in the sky.

We also encountered a skystorm once.

The so-called cloud storm is a huge change in spiritual energy that only occurs at altitudes of over a thousand feet, and this change in spiritual energy will attract the Xun wind.

When the Xunfeng Clan wreaks havoc, it can even directly tear apart the physical body and golden core of a Golden Core cultivator.

Therefore, unless one is at the Nascent Soul stage or above, almost no cultivator dares to fly directly a thousand feet above the ground.

In the low-altitude realm below a thousand feet, one may often encounter various demons that have escaped from the Gate of Calamity.

Some demons are extremely adept at imitating humans, and ordinary cultivators can easily fall victim to their tricks if they are not careful.

This is also one of the reasons why flying boats are so popular in the Xuan Tian Star Realm.

Chen Xu ignored external affairs and focused solely on his own affairs.

He filled the octagonal planting space in the kitchen with a large amount of soil, plus some spiritual soil—

These were all purchased previously at the Hundred Battles Ruins.

Such spiritual soil, when placed in the outside world, can at most serve as fertile soil, but it is impossible to build a spiritual field from it.

In the Bagua planting room, after Chen Xu filled it with spiritual soil, rich spiritual energy naturally flowed into it from all directions.

This Bagua planting room is just like a spiritual cave, which can constantly nourish the spiritual soil in the planting trough, making it achieve the effect of a spiritual field.

Chen Xu planted the Azure Cloud Lotus Seeds and watered them with a large amount of Jade Dew Spring water.

The Qingyun Lotus Seed is a semi-aquatic spiritual plant, and its growth requires both spiritual soil and spiritual spring water.

The spiritual energy of Jade Dew Spring is actually insufficient; it can only be considered a pseudo-spiritual spring, not a true spiritual spring.

In the very center of the Bagua planting area, Chen Xu built a small pond less than five feet in diameter for Qingyun Lotus Seeds.

On this day, the lotus seeds of Qingyun took root and sprouted.

The flying boat traveled through the night, and the next morning, the clouds broke and the sun rose, filling the sky with rosy clouds.

Outside the cabin, a cacophony of voices surged forth like a giant wave.

All that could be heard were cheering voices saying, "We've arrived at Qixiawu! Look, it's the Zixia Sect leading their disciples to gather rosy clouds and practice Qi cultivation."

If one can comprehend supernatural powers here, one might be able to directly join the Zixia Sect!

"The Purple Cloud Sect is a sixth-grade sect..."
