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

Chapter 420 Fine wine deserves a toast
"Good wine!"

"Good wine indeed, hahaha..."

Master Mao took a sip and laughed loudly.

Then it suddenly dawned on me that drinking while walking seemed to damage the image of a strict teacher.

He quickly coughed and pretended to be serious, saying, "My disciple, I'm testing your culinary skills."

Have you tested this wine with a genuine jade talisman? What grade is it?
Although this wine is pure, its spiritual energy is slightly weak. It must have been brewed with ninth-grade spiritual rice.
It's a bit of a pity that the main ingredient is of a slightly lower grade, which inevitably limits the quality of the spirit wine.

He's probably only at the highest level of the ninth rank.

He gave a serious review, sighing with regret.

Little did people know that the original raw material for Drunken Spirit Wine was not even spirit rice!

Its base liquor was originally a famous wine from Yunjiang Prefecture of the Dali Kingdom, called Liuxia Zui.

Although it is a famous wine of Dali, it is actually made from ordinary ingredients.

Chen Xu later processed it with the Mingxin Gourd and infused it with moonlight, which is how the Drunken Spirit Wine came to be.

The most remarkable ingredient in Drunken Spirit Wine is the spiritual energy within the moonlight.

Now that Chen Xu has arrived in the Xuan Tian Star Realm, he often takes out the Mingxin Gourd to bask in the moonlight whenever he has the chance.

It's strange to say.

Although the Great Li Kingdom was merely a world within a painting, Chen Xu always had a certain feeling when he held the Mind-Enlightening Gourd—

It seems that the moonlight in the Great Li Kingdom and the moonlight in the Xuan Tian Star Realm have never been any different.

A bright moon shines on both worlds.

Is this just Chen Xu's illusion, or is it really true?
If that is indeed the case, then the mysteries of this world must be countless times more profound than Chen Xu could have imagined.

Chen Xu listened attentively to Master Mao's comments on the Drunken Spirit Wine, a smile on his face.

The Heavenly Book of Food Cauldrons beside him was opened, and prompts appeared one after another like ripples on water.

【Like +7000】

7000 likes!

Master Mao praised Chen Xu's wine and gave him 7,000 likes.

He truly deserves to be called a Nascent Soul cultivator; he is indeed extraordinary.

However, afterward, Master Mao praised the wine a few more times, saying "This wine is good," but Chen Xu did not receive a second round of praise.

This is a bit strange.

Fortunately, the Book of Culinary Delights provided the answer.

It turned out that it was because Master Mao's cultivation was too strong, and Chen Xu himself was far inferior to him.

The difference between the Nascent Soul stage and the Golden Core stage appears to be only one major realm, but in reality, they are separated by countless levels.

So much so that even a divine artifact like the Food Cauldron Heavenly Book could not capture Master Mao's likes without limit.

The reason why we were able to capture the first "like" from Master Mao is because the first "like" is often accompanied by the strongest emotions.

Only in this way can it be captured by the Food Cauldron Heavenly Book.

Ultimately, the power of the Digestive Cauldron Heavenly Book is still affected by Chen Xu's own cultivation level.

Clearly, this artifact has an endless future waiting for Chen Xu to develop.

However, 7000 likes is already quite a surprise.

In addition, new spiritual material hints have indeed appeared!

[You touched the Nascent Soul cultivator's heart with your spiritual wine, earning their praise and satisfaction. You have gained +1 Spiritual Material Daoist Fruit.]

【Daoist Fruit: A product of the condensation of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, containing an extremely faint trace of ancient Daoist essence.】

Cook this fruit and prepare it into a complete fruit-based spiritual dish. After consuming it, there is a chance to randomly comprehend a trace of the true essence of the Dao.

After repeated comprehension and gathering of ninety-nine strands of Daoist essence, there is a chance to awaken the Daoist body.

You have unlocked a new material and gained 1000 Fireworks Points.

[You have captured a Dao-level spiritual material for the first time, gaining +1 Life Soul.]

Daoist Fruit, and yet another [Life Soul +1]!
The praise from Master Mao brought Chen Xu such a rich reward.

The [Life Soul +1] also makes Chen Xu's mind clear and his thoughts sharp.

For a moment, he even felt as if he could clearly sense the existence of the so-called "calamity" in the world when he breathed. When he inhaled, he involuntarily inhaled a trace of the "calamity".

When the evil spirit enters the body, it is transported and circulated by the innate Qi, and when it is expelled, it is naturally expelled with his breath!
This is also one of the benefits of primordial Qi.

It turns out that the primordial Qi was able to protect Chen Xu from the calamity.

This is also a new discovery.

Chen Xu's highest life spirit level was only 10 points. He also lacked understanding of this world, so much so that he was unaware that the cultivators in this world were constantly attacked by calamity.

It turns out that not only food and spiritual materials are susceptible to invasion, but people are too.

However, Chen Xu possessed innate Qi, so he was not troubled by this.

He increasingly felt the power of his own Food God Scroll.

It is evident that although the Food God's Scroll is somewhat crude in its absorption of spiritual energy, this crudeness has its reasons.

Chen Xu silently sensed all the changes within himself.

I feel that peeling back the layers of the world's veil is one of the joys of the spiritual journey.

After that, Chen Xu and Master Mao entered the Thousand Calcination Workshop.

The Thousand Calcination Workshop occupies a huge area, having hollowed out an entire mountainside and built a massive workshop covering hundreds of acres using the mountain's natural fire.

It is further divided into the initial forging area, the spirit nurturing area, the quenching area, the weapon-making area, and the private forging workshop.

The first four areas were large public casting areas.

The disciples of the Shenjimen Foundry Hall initially had to learn forging in these four areas.

Many sects' signature magical artifacts, or large puppets, were successfully forged in the fourth region.

It often involves the combined efforts of many people, integrating multiple processes such as forging and quenching, array pattern engraving, and spirit-infusing shaping.

Some disciples excel at forging and tempering, some at engraving array patterns, and some, while not skilled in spirit cultivation, are adept at shaping...

In short, people are different and each has their own strengths.

As a result, in Chen Xu's view, this Thousand-Forging Workshop had begun to resemble a large-scale assembly line workshop.

When Chen Xu first witnessed this scene, he was somewhat shocked.

It's not just the bustling casting scene before us that's breathtaking;
It wasn't the resounding, dragon-roar-like sounds of forging that were truly awe-inspiring;
Nor is it the breathtakingly cold pool quenching the ice, which rushes down from the mountain peaks like a silver ribbon...

What is truly awe-inspiring is the collaboration among the monks.

It turns out that cultivators, who attribute their personal power to themselves, can also cooperate so closely.

The reason why Shenji Sect is a weapon-refining sect is not because of how many weapon-refining masters it has, but because of its ability to cooperate on a large scale.

Their ability to produce a large number of standardized magical artifacts in a stable and consistent manner is the foundation upon which the Divine Mechanism Sect stands!

Chen Xu followed Master Mao through the initial forging areas of the Earth Fire. Most of the disciples were focused on forging iron and did not notice Master Mao's arrival.

It wasn't until Master Mao led Chen Xu through the first four districts and arrived at the private refinery that they finally reached the private refinery.

The man guarding the private refinery was an old man with a white beard.

The old man leaped to his feet, exclaiming, "Brother Mao, you've arrived!"

Master Mao responded and instructed him to set up a small, private forging room, then spoke to the old man in an indescribably boastful tone:

"Old Dong, this is my newly accepted disciple. He is young and impetuous. In the training ground, he accidentally destroyed three late-stage Foundation Establishment Hundred Battle Puppets in one go."

What's most infuriating is that only the array patterns on these puppets are damaged; the main materials themselves remain completely undamaged.

What else can I do?

"That's all we can do, bring him here to fix these three puppets. Sigh."

His sigh left Old Dong speechless.

Old Dong isn't stupid; how could he not hear the hidden praise in Master Mao's words, which were actually a boast?

A dignified Nascent Soul cultivator, constantly showing off to everyone he meets, isn't that disrespectful to his elders?
A moment later, Master Mao and Chen Xu entered one of the small forging rooms.

Old Dong outside then hissed and bared his teeth.

He lightly patted his mouth, his eyes darting around, and walked over to the forging room where Master Mao and Chen Xu were.

Then, Lao Dong pretended to listen attentively.
