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

Chapter 405 He said, "Shouldn't it be like this?"

The second question?
Chen Xu was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening.

The second question refers to the one Zhou Hou asked earlier:
He asked Chen Xu, "How did you manage to keep the spiritual drink both warm and icy?"
Chen Xu hadn't had a chance to answer before, but when Ge Xing asked again, he pondered for a moment.

Then I answered carefully:

"Is the balance of Yin and Yang not the proper way?"

what?
Everyone was stunned.

What does "should have been this way" mean?

No one thought Chen Xu was being perfunctory, but a simple sentence could be interpreted in countless ways by different people.

Ji Yang was the most naive; he immediately nodded vigorously while holding the glass cup, inwardly cheering wildly.

Yes, that's how it should be.

There's no need to ask that question; it's just asking a pointless question.

You're not spiritual chefs, what do you know?
Only the seniors understand!

This is only natural and perfectly justified.

Asking such a self-evident question is really unnecessary.

Meanwhile, Zhou Hou, who was still suppressed by Ge Xing's magic and bent over, was experiencing a storm of emotions.

"Yin and Yang in balance, is this how it should be?"

The eight characters, though brief, seemed to hold profound meaning the more he pondered them.

He has always practiced the art of weapon crafting, with weapon crafting as his main focus.

The most frustrating thing is that he forges iron day and night, and the yang fire is too intense, making it difficult to grasp the right time to temper the magic weapon.

The refining of ritual implements requires the utmost attention to detail.

Too much and it becomes too rigid and easily breaks; too little and it inevitably lacks the right balance.

Not only must the timing be considered, but also the temperature, the quantity, the type of quenching liquid, and even the way the refiner circulates their true essence at that time.

Zhou Hou actually has quite a lot of talent.

At least that's what everyone around him told him at the beginning of his weapon crafting training.

Although he was short in stature, he actually possessed a natural superhuman strength.

In particular, those with abundant Yang Fire have an innate advantage in controlling the temperature of the refining furnace.

When he first started out, he worked as a fire-starting boy in the sect. At that time, the weapon refiners all vied to have him sit down and start the fire.

After a long period of study, he was even able to control flames to form micro-needles, which he used to carve patterns on magical artifacts.

When this first became apparent, the masters and elders in the sect were utterly astonished by his extraordinary talent.

Zhou Hou thoroughly enjoyed a period of being "closely watched" and receiving personalized instruction.

Unfortunately, before he could even feel troubled by this excessive teaching, his teachers soon discovered that his excessive Yang energy had caused an imbalance of Yin and Yang.

This makes it difficult for him to subtly sense all the Yin-attribute energies in the world.

The biggest problem this creates is that he can become a very good "fire-starting boy" and also a very good "array pattern assistant".

However, he was unable to complete a true weapon forging process!

He cannot achieve a balance between yin and yang.

When all the magical artifacts came into his hands, they could often be formed into prototypes, but they were rarely able to become truly useful.

Ultimately, either the embryo explodes or the Dharma seal fails to be formed.

Zhou Hou, who was once considered to have exceptional talent in weapon crafting, has since become a junior craftsman who cannot even complete a full weapon crafting process.

His teachers tried everything they could, but they were still unable to help him overcome this difficulty.

Ultimately, it's a matter of personal understanding. Even if you can't grasp it or do it, what can others do?

After failing day after day, Zhou Hou finally accepted this reality.

He abandoned the path of weapon crafting and switched to body refinement and sword cultivation, following in the footsteps of his senior sister, intending to forge a different path within the weapon crafting sect, Shenji Sect.

Sects also need combat cultivators; it's impossible for everyone to go into weapon crafting.

When Zhou Hou gave up, this was how he convinced himself.

But who knows?
Deep in his heart, he could never forget the moment when he first started out, carrying an iron hammer, hammering away at the weapon-forging room day after day, refining weapon blanks.

That is why he was so excited when he discovered that Chen Xu's cup of spiritual drink could contain both warmth and ice.

The balance of yin and yang that he couldn't achieve, some people can do so so effortlessly and naturally.

Is it truly true that the word "comprehension" is the most unsolvable thing in this world?
Zhou Hou wanted to cry, but he also wanted to laugh.

He wanted to ask more questions, but all the words he wanted to say stuck in his throat, preventing him from uttering a single syllable. Chen Xu had already answered: "That's how it should be, that's how it should be!"

The calm voice, however, seemed like a drumbeat, constantly echoing in Zhou Hou's ears.

His mind went blank for a moment, and in the dark and chaotic world in his mind, it seemed as if some light was stirring.

But the light spot was extremely small, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

Ultimately, it lacked the most crucial support, and thus remained unable to break through.

Zhou Hou refused to give up. He kept repeating those eight words in his mind: "Yin and Yang in balance, it should be this way, it should be this way..."

In the pitch-black world, the eight large characters seemed to swell even more.

Like gathering clouds and wind, like rolling thunder in spring.

Zhou Hou was in turmoil, but no one else knew.

Ye Ningzhen held the glass cup in her hands, her eyes sparkling as she sipped the wine.

It's so delicious, like spring breeze melting snow. Ji Yang's description of the name is absolutely right.

Ye Ningzhen was overjoyed. She had already begun to calculate how much revenue the sect would gain if Chen Xu were willing to place this spiritual drink in the sect's assets for sale.

And how much of the revenue will Chen Xu himself receive?

After thinking about it for a while, Ye Ningzhen felt more and more that she had found a treasure.

How could Chen Xu, who was standing in front of him, be considered a newly initiated junior disciple?
This is clearly a god of wealth about to take shape!

But wait...

Is this "Spring Breeze Melts Snow" drink transportable and can it be preserved?

Competition is now extremely fierce in all aspects of the Immortal City.

Even if Spring Breeze Melts Snow Drink is such a novel and wonderful beverage, can it really carve out a path in the complex competition?

Alas, living in the immortal city is no easy feat.

The same applies to the survival of sects.

Thinking of this, Ye Ningzhen had to temporarily suppress her passionate emotions.

Thanks to the spiritual drink, Ye Ningzhen was able to remain calm despite her wandering thoughts.

She held the glass cup; though she appeared physically present, her mind had wandered far away, lost in a distant, expansive world.

It wasn't until that moment that Ge Xing truly stepped out of the Ling Shan Lou's doors.

In the square outside the gate, I met Liu Chang, who had returned sometime earlier.

Liu Chang stood frozen in place, looking as if he had suffered a huge blow and was completely distraught.

Logically speaking, Liu Chang shouldn't be so distraught.

Although he lost the bet and was forced to leave his master's school.

But he is a spiritual chef, so even if he leaves the Divine Mechanism Sect, it wouldn't be difficult for him to find a new sect to join.

It might be a bit difficult to reach a sixth-grade sect, but reaching a seventh-grade sect would be a piece of cake.

As long as there is still somewhere to go, it is not a dead end.

Therefore, although leaving the sect was a huge blow, it was not enough to make Liu Chang freeze there like a lost soul, looking as if he was about to break apart.

Besides, although Ge Xing didn't try to keep Liu Chang, he didn't let Zhang Song off the hook either.

When Zhang Song was punished, Liu Chang didn't even feel that leaving his sect was such a hardship.

He felt great joy and his mind was clear.

He was even grateful to Ge Xing at the time.

Zhang Song's attempt to steal a chicken backfired, much to Liu Chang's delight.

After that, he went to the Hall of Reception and removed his status as a disciple of the sect.

As he was about to descend the mountain, Liu Chang felt that he should return to Ling Shan Lou once more to express his gratitude to Ge Xing.

Although I have left my sect, the bond between us remains. Establishing a good relationship with a Golden Core senior is not a bad thing.

So he casually turned back.

Finally, Liu Chang stood outside the gate of Ling Shan Lou and witnessed the manifestation of the Spring Breeze Melting Snow Drink.

He stood frozen in place, speechless.

It wasn't until Ge Xing asked him, "Junior Nephew Liu, is there anything else that hasn't been finished?"
