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

Chapter 389 A Gentle Ripple, A Single Move Affects the Whole Body
Chen Xu checked the Food Cauldron Heavenly Book and found that his life soul had reached [9] points.

His accumulated likes increased by more than 27,000 points in a short period of time.

This was mainly because not all the cultivators present had high cultivation levels, and the group of middle-aged men with yellow faces sold a limited number of purple jade pastries.

Furthermore, cultivators have different temperaments, and not everyone who has eaten the Purple Jade Pastry will necessarily praise it as delicious.

Even if their sense of taste is won over, they may not necessarily give positive feedback in their words.

Those who will praise it repeatedly, even to the point of being full of praise, are ultimately a minority.

This means that the number of likes Chen Xu received this time did not actually meet expectations.

Even so, he has still become rich again.

【Accumulated likes: 158693】

[Fireworks value: 39650]

[Free attribute points: 960]

Among these, the growth of free attribute points is terrifying.

Chen Xu's three elemental attributes reached: [Essence/Vital Energy/Spirit: 798]

The three-element attribute balance reaches [798] points.

Most of this growth is attributed to his extra hours of intensive meditation last night.

If he doesn't expend any resources, his current free attribute points might even exceed one thousand.

However, there's no need to accumulate too many free attribute points; they're meant to be used up.

If it cannot be converted into real strength, hoarding it there is nothing more than a string of numbers.

However, as his cultivation level increased rapidly, Chen Xu increasingly felt that a small increase in attribute points was no longer enough to significantly change his strength.

He may need to wait for an opportunity to accumulate strength and then unleash it, or perhaps... for him now, the life force has become a more important attribute.

Of course, the three attributes are fundamental, and it's always good to have more of them.

Without sufficient amounts of the three elemental attributes, no matter how much the life soul grows, it will ultimately be in vain.

In short, he has achieved his goal by trying his hand at making crispy rice candy and popcorn today.

Although Chen Xu's goal was achieved, the situation continued to change.

More and more people crowded towards the direction where Qingnangke was, and the surrounding area was noisy.

People shouted, "Fellow Daoist, please have mercy!"

"I am willing to offer three hundred Qi Essence Pills to buy this basket of spiritual food from you, fellow Daoist!"

When the shout of "three hundred Qi Hua Dan" was uttered in the crowd, the air seemed to be swept by a cold wind.

The cultivators, who had been acting impulsively, instantly calmed down.

Three hundred Qi Hua Dan (a type of magical pill) – that's an astronomical price.

After hearing this, who wouldn't think twice about their own storage pouch?

Even if one can afford to spend so much money, is it really worth spending so many Qi Hua Dan to gamble on a possibility that may not even come true?
The Purple Spirit Pearl was driven to an astronomical price, and at this point, Qingnangke finally stopped eating.

He looked up at the person who had shouted in the crowd.

That person was a simply dressed, middle-aged cultivator who did not appear to possess substantial wealth.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the middle-aged cultivator in gray robes clutched his storage pouch, his face suddenly turning red, and he was at a loss for what to do.

Ah, so he didn't actually have three hundred Qi Hua Pills. He just blurted it out in a moment of impulsiveness.

The air froze for a moment, and then a chorus of boos erupted.

Ji Yang couldn't help but sigh: "Three hundred Qi Hua Pills are indeed too much. This basket of Purple Spirit Pearls could never fetch such a price."

As he spoke, he felt a complex mix of emotions.

I don't know whether to feel disappointed or happy.

His disappointment stemmed from his hope that the spiritual food created by the mysterious senior would command a higher price.

If a basket of Purple Spirit Pearls can be sold for three hundred Qi Hua Pills, then from today onwards, these Purple Spirit Pearls will probably be listed in the famous cuisine menu.

Unfortunately, the claim of three hundred Qi Hua Dan was ultimately just empty talk from some people.

Ultimately, no one was willing to pay such a high price.

The reason he was happy was probably because no matter how high the price of the Purple Spirit Pearl was, it would never end up in his pocket or the senior's pocket.

He sold five baskets of Purple Spirit Pearls, which only brought in 110 Qi Hua Pills.

As a result, Qingnangke resold it for more than ten times the price. Who could accept that?

Fortunately, the other party did not sell it for such a high price, so Ji Yang was secretly pleased, and also felt a little inexplicably gloating.

He couldn't help but chuckle.

Amid the laughter, a deafening chorus of boos erupted, leaving the gray-robed cultivator blushing, flustered, and utterly humiliated.

He stood there, his face flushed, but his lips were pale and bluish-white, as if covered with a layer of dry, cracked white paper.

Ji Yang almost wondered if he was about to self-destruct at any moment, given his pained appearance.

Seeing this, Ji Yang even felt a little sorry for him.

Just then, a cold voice, like frost and snow, suddenly rang out: "Three hundred Qi Hua Pills are here. I'll take this basket of spiritual food."

Then, with a clattering sound, a money bag was thrown over.

The money bag landed precisely in the hands of the Qingnangke, and all the boos from the crowd ceased abruptly.

what?
Is there really someone offering three hundred Qi-based pills?
The previously noisy atmosphere fell silent once again. Under everyone's watchful eyes, Zhou Yu, from the fifth-rank sect Qingming Sword Sect, leaped down from the railing beside him.

He took a light step and arrived in front of Qingnangke in an instant.

Grabbing the basket of purple spirit beads, he leaped again, landing on the railing he had just been on.

All of these actions happened so fast that many people didn't even have time to process them before Zhou Yu had already grabbed the basket and sat back down by the railing.

Even more so, he imitated Qingnang Ke, grabbing a handful of purple spirit pearls from the basket, and a large amount of purple rice flowers jumped into his mouth like a dense rain of pearls.

He ate with a crunching sound.

At first, Zhou Yu remained expressionless.

A moment later, Zhou Yu raised an eyebrow.

A moment later, Zhou Yu quickened his pace in grabbing and eating the Purple Spirit Pearl.

A little while later, Zhou Yu's hand was almost a blur, while the purple spirit pearls in the basket were rapidly decreasing.

The sky was filled with rice flowers that looked like jade dust, and the light and shadow reflected the sea of ​​clouds in the sky. For a moment, it was hard to tell whether the sea of ​​clouds was more beautiful or the purple rice flowers were more dazzling.

A huge uproar erupted again from the crowd as they finally realized what was happening.

"This...this...there really is someone willing to spend three hundred Qi Essence Pills to buy...buy this kind of spiritual food?"

The speaker was subconsciously trying to belittle the Purple Spirit Pearl.

But as the words reached his lips, he felt that his current denigration was somewhat against his conscience.

He was unwilling to spend 300 Qi Hua Dan to buy something, but naturally someone else was willing to do the same.

This absolutely does not mean that those who buy the Purple Spirit Pearl are innocent victims or fools.

On the contrary, if this Purple Spirit Pearl can truly help someone comprehend the Cloud Sea Sword Technique, then its value...

Some people began to breathe rapidly, muttering to themselves, "Could this Purple Spirit Pearl really be a spiritual food that enhances comprehension?"

If that's the case, then what exactly did I miss just now?

Some people were discussing among themselves: "Who made this Purple Spirit Pearl? If it can truly enhance comprehension, then the person who created this spiritual food might be a true master of spiritual cuisine." "Is there a true master of spiritual cuisine on our flying ship?"

"hiss……"

The gasps of the crowd did not rise and fall.

Amidst the commotion, all eyes were fixed on Zhou Yu.

Few noticed that Qingnangke had walked to the other side of the deck.

Meanwhile, in addition to the other four members of the Five Friends of the Cloud Path, several disciples of the Cloud Gathering Sect who were originally practicing Qi gathering in the sea of ​​clouds flew over.

Yes, legend has it that those who comprehend the Cloud Sea Sword Technique will surely be able to join the Caixia Sect.

As a sixth-grade sect, Caixia Sect even has a Nascent Soul ancestor within its ranks.

For the vast majority of lower-level cultivators, sixth-grade sects and Nascent Soul ancestors are things that are unattainable and beyond their reach.

Ji Yang looked around.

He noticed the commotion on Qingnangke's side and kept a close eye on Zhou Yu.

My feelings were complicated, and I didn't know who to envy.

"Has Qingnang Ke joined a sixth-rank sect just like that?" Ji Yang couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"That, that true disciple from a fifth-grade sect, could he... could he also comprehend the Cloud Sea Sword Technique?"

However, even if he comprehends the Cloud Sea Sword Technique, he will definitely not be able to join the Caixia Sect.

His sect is even more remarkable than the Caixia Sect.

Ji Yang's gaze swept around, and he couldn't help but sigh softly again.

His emotions were hard to describe, and just then, he suddenly heard the voice of his senior in his ear: "Ji Yang".

Ji Yang was delighted and quickly replied, "Senior."

Chen Xu said, "Let's go back."

"What?" Ji Yang was stunned.

He was momentarily stunned, not understanding why his senior was calling him back.

But Ji Yang's greatest strength was his obedience, so after a moment of stunned silence, he glanced at the noisy crowd and immediately turned and walked toward the cabin.

He was already inconspicuous, and his act of turning away was equally inconspicuous.

Among the crowd, there were those who eagerly awaited Zhou Yu's return, and naturally, there were also those who, like Ji Yang, were heading back.

Those who turned back were only a very small minority in the crowd.

Among the mere ten or so people, some were close to Ji Yang.

The two exchanged a glance, and the young cultivator couldn't help but ask Ji Yang, "Brother, why are you turning back? Why not stay on the deck to watch the clouds and enjoy the spectacle?"

Ji Yang replied, "I...I don't know either, I just want to go back. What about you? Why aren't you staying on the deck?"

The young cultivator had probably never seen anyone as dull as Ji Yang before. He was momentarily stunned by his words before replying:
"I am of mediocre talent, and no matter how much I observe the clouds and mist, I will never be able to comprehend the Cloud Sea Sword Technique."

I can't afford such spiritual food, so even just watching the spectacle wouldn't be very interesting.

Whether or not that fifth-grade sword sect disciple can comprehend the Cloud Sea Sword Technique is irrelevant to me.

On the contrary, if he could truly comprehend it… I'm afraid a fight might break out outside in a moment.”

This statement makes perfect sense.

Ji Yang then realized why that senior had asked him to go back.

He suddenly realized, "So that's how it is! That's exactly why I need to go back."

The young monk couldn't help but smile upon hearing this.

He said to Ji Yang, "Brother, my name is Zhong He. May I ask your honorable name and how I should address you?"

Ji Yang quickly introduced himself and then called out "Brother Zhong He".

The two chatted for a while, and although Ji Yang was a bit slow, they unexpectedly hit it off.

As they spoke, they stepped into the enormous ship's cabin, which was as large as a building.

They walked through the arcade in the lobby on the first floor and went up the stairs to the second floor.

Under the corridor, they saw the airship guards lined up, and several stewards standing to the side.

All eyes were on Zhou Yu. Ji Yang and Zhong He walked back to the cabin, and the guards and managers didn't seem to care.

Ji Yang dared not breathe too loudly and walked obediently.

After going up to the second floor, we went up to the third floor of the ship.

The third floor has two stairwells and two cabin passageways.

Although Ji Yang and Zhong He both lived on the third floor, they were not in the same passageway.

The two said their goodbyes at one end of the passage. Zhong He said:
"Brother Ji, the journey by air will take several more days. My cultivation is too weak, so I must reduce my outings. If we are fortunate enough to meet again in the future, we can talk again."

Ji Yang replied, "That's right. I should also reduce my outings. In any case, it's best to arrive in Canglan City safely."

After they finished speaking, the two of them felt a sense of mutual appreciation.

It's not easy to meet someone you can talk to on a journey, but while they talked, neither of them suggested taking the relationship further.

After saying goodbye, the two returned to their respective cabins.

What Ji Yang didn't know was that just as he turned to return to his own cabin, Zhong He stepped into another passageway and ended up in someone else's cabin.

Several people were waiting in that cabin.

If Ji Yang were to meet one of them, he would surely feel a sense of familiarity.

This man was the middle-aged man with a sallow complexion who had initially bought the Purple Jade Pastry from Ji Yang.

Ji Yang was unaware that Chen Xu did not follow him back to his cabin, but instead silently trailed behind Zhong He.

He had long wanted to investigate the person behind the sallow-faced middle-aged man, and now, taking advantage of his still-in-a-void state, he could do just that.

After entering the cabin, Zhong He greeted the people present and then said:
“It’s not that kid. I’ve tested him. His cultivation is weak, and his actions are completely unreliable. He doesn’t seem like someone who could produce a large amount of Purple Jade Pastry and Purple Spirit Pearls.”

Wow, so this group was actually searching everywhere, secretly looking for Ji Yang.

Unfortunately, although Zhong He had contact with Ji Yang, they were "not familiar with each other even though they were face to face".

Inside the cabin, an elderly woman with white hair, sitting in the head seat, spoke in a hoarse voice, addressing the middle-aged man with a sallow complexion:

"Have you truly forgotten what the people you do business with look like?"

The middle-aged man with a sallow face lowered his head and said with shame, "Master Uncle, this disciple truly did not know."

The old woman held a pair of walnuts in her hands, turning them over and over, and sighed, "That's enough, let's stop here, we can't investigate any further."

The other party's background is absolutely extraordinary, and this situation is beyond our control.

Fortunately, you have already sold all the Purple Jade Pastries. From now on, you are not allowed to go out and flaunt them, nor are you allowed to mention that the Purple Jade Pastries and the Purple Spirit Pearl came from the same person.

Behave yourselves. Once you enter Canglan City, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to hone your skills.

The middle-aged man with a sallow complexion quickly agreed.

Chen Xu listened in on the conversation in the cabin for a while longer, until he completely understood the origins and movements of this group of people.

Finally, the old woman sighed, "This Purple Jade Pastry is indeed delicious, but it's a pity it's not as good as the Purple Spirit Pearl, which can stimulate a cultivator's spirituality."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Food God's Manual responded with "2600 likes".

This old woman was also at the Golden Core stage!
