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

Chapter 39: Mud Puppet

Chen Xu was in the kitchen, his energy was concentrated in his dantian, and his mind was lost in thought.

The Three Yuans build the foundation, and the Qi returns to its original state, thus creating this ray of innate Qi.

He carefully comprehended the mystery of this wisp of innate Qi. At the same time, the Food Cauldron Heavenly Book contained several more descriptions about his own cultivation.

[Ancestral seat: Chen Xu]

[Title: Pyrotechnics Apprentice]

[Cultivation: Tongmai Realm (0.9% in the initial stage)]

[Special Status: Perfect Foundation Building, Qi Returns to the Innate State]

Regarding the realm of cultivation, the God of Food Cultivation Method volume has different explanations in detail.

The rough ones are the big realms, which are currently only roughly named and divided into:
The mortal body, opening the meridians, condensing the elixir, concentrating the spirit, transforming into emptiness, entering the subtle, returning to the truth, and merging with the Tao.

The details are specific descriptions of the Tongmai Realm.

Qi circulates throughout the body, all meridians are open, blood is produced like mercury, and blood is produced endlessly.

This is the goal of cultivation in Tongmai Realm.

The first volume of the God of Food Cultivation Method describes the meridian-opening cultivation method. If Chen Xu wants to unlock the second volume of the Dan-condensing cultivation method, he needs to meet new conditions.

At the same time, there are new prompt entries in the Food Tripod Book:
1. The way to becoming a god of food lies in the kitchen. Improving your cooking skills can help you break through barriers in your spiritual practice.
2. Every time you collect 20 likes from diners, you can get one attribute point that can be freely allocated;

3. After accumulating 10000 likes, you can unlock the second volume of the God of Cookery Cultivation Method.

A new target has appeared!

Chen Xu silently moved the innate energy in his dantian, and felt his energy flowing and his heart surging.

After leaving his mortal body and entering the Tongmai realm, he discovered that not only had his Qi returned to its original state, but he also possessed the ability to look inward and perceive details.

To put it simply, this ability means, firstly, that he has a sharper perception of his own condition, and secondly, that he can actually directly perceive the limit of his own lifespan!

【Shouyuan: 18/120】

The Tongmai realm transcends the limits of ordinary beings and has a lifespan of one hundred and twenty years.

Is it short?

No, for most ordinary people, this is a very long life.

But if you aim to become a god, this is too short.

The struggle for the great way must not be taken lightly for a moment.

No one disturbed him that afternoon. Chen Xu stayed in the fireworks kitchen for twelve hours before returning to reality.

Then he went into the fireworks kitchen again, and so on.

【Accumulated likes: 1065】

[Free attribute points: 40]

[Fireworks value: 346]

His cumulative likes value has undergone new changes.

After consuming 9 free attribute points, there are still 40 points left.

The fireworks value was still not enough, so Chen Xu opened the fireworks collection and found that he could unlock two new skills.

[1. Calling for the wind. As the saying goes, wind fuels the fire. How can we control the fire and adjust the cauldron without using wind?]

[2. Draw water. Water is the source of all things, and the highest good is like water.]

Call the Wind, consume 300 fireworks points to unlock.

Water diversion, can be unlocked by consuming 500 fireworks points.

In addition, there is a second level of fire control, which also requires 300 fireworks points to unlock. Fireworks points are too tight, and you need them for everything.

But this time Chen Xu entered the fireworks kitchen again, not to learn how to call the wind, nor to learn the second level of fire control, but to make a mud ball puppet!
After entering the Tongmai realm, he didn't need to study hard. He naturally gained a certain ability through the God of Food cultivation scroll.

The Food Cauldron Heavenly Book calls this ability: Spiritualization.

By using spiritual materials to make pastries and giving them spirits, he can obtain his own puppet Taoist soldiers.

At its current primary state, Chen Xu's puppet possesses the two attributes of invisibility and great strength. However, its weakness is its fear of water. Once splashed with water, the mud pill puppet will gradually melt and disintegrate, eventually losing its spiritual power and becoming an ordinary pastry.

But this small shortcoming is not enough to hinder Chen Xu's enthusiasm for the puppet Taoist soldiers.

After entering the fireworks kitchen for the second time, Chen Xu immediately took out the existing spiritual materials: millet paste and clay.

It's interesting to say that this millet mud statue was left by Lin Qi's inferior incarnation. After Chen Xu killed him, he never had the chance to use this millet mud statue.

Millet paste clay can be used to make clay balls, and now it can also be used to make puppet Taoist soldiers for Chen Xu.

Chen Xu immediately took out two pounds of millet paste, mixed it into three pounds of flour, added water and kneaded it into a smooth dough.

Knead the dough, let it rest, release the air, and shape it.

He was not very skilled at first, but perhaps because of his natural talent as a god of food, after a while Chen Xu suddenly found that many inspirations and experiences about kneading dough kept popping up in his mind.

For example, Chen Xu can naturally adjust and solve problems such as the direction of arm force and the ratio of flour and water added.

After flour was added to the millet paste, the dough began to slip gradually. Suddenly, at some point, Chen Xu suddenly had an inspiration and mobilized the innate Qi in his body.

A mysterious force rushed into the dough, breaking it, suppressing it, kneading it...

Shape it into a circle or flatten it, and everything will be up to your heart.

In the kitchen, if there was a mirror in front of Chen Xu at this moment, he would find that he suddenly had a special temperament while kneading the dough.

It seemed as if at this moment, he was no longer kneading dough, but the mundane life, future and destiny.

Calm and composed, as if everything is under his control.

In the Dantian, that wisp of innate Qi flows slowly, Qi and blood surge in hundreds of meridians, essence rises, and spirit and soul converge.

[Cultivation: Tongmai Realm (1.1% in the initial stage)]

[Cultivation: Tongmai Realm (1.3% in the initial stage)]

……

His cultivation had indeed improved while he was in the kitchen!

Finally, Chen Xu molded a gray Taoist soldier about one foot tall. In order to make this Taoist soldier more combat-effective, he even molded a simple armor and a spear for this small Taoist soldier.

It’s a pity that Chen Xu’s modeling skills are still not sophisticated enough.

Although he has talent and innate Qi that allows him to control his power in a minute way, he still hasn't practiced enough.

It’s not perfect yet, we need to keep working on it.

In the evening, Chen Xu came out of the kitchen and happened to meet Aunt Lai who came over to share the copper coins she earned that day with Chen Xu.

Chen Xu accepted the copper coins and chatted with her for a few words. She said, "Mr. Chen, have you heard? There's a Lin family in West City. Starting tomorrow, they're going to set up a Taoist temple in front of their house that covers the entire street. They're also going to hold a seven-day banquet to entertain the people of the city.

Such a grand ceremony is just to send that family's little Erlang to his funeral!"

As she spoke, Aunt Lai sighed, "It really shortened his life. The one who died was not an elderly person, but a young boy who hadn't even started a family and was still a child. Isn't this premature death?"
How can you set up a temple like this? I wonder if the deceased... Hey, I don't know if he can bear it."

After saying a few words of gossip, Aunt Lai quickly covered her mouth and her eyes rolled around.

People at that time believed that the dead were the greatest. Although Aunt Lai respected the elderly, she felt a little guilty after talking about the right and wrong of a dead person.

Chen Xu listened to this, but his heart was slightly moved, thinking that he would go to the Lin family to pay his respects tomorrow morning -

No, why wait until tomorrow morning?
