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

Chapter 445 The Pink Skull is Nothing More Than This

The flames of karma rose fiercely on the hillside.

Flames burst forth, like a crimson lotus from the underworld.

Chen Ping lay on the ground, stunned.

In the firelight, the nine dream maidens struggled and howled, trying to escape, but none of them were able to truly escape—

Yes, it was indeed the Nine Dream Maidens.

Including the dream girl whose neck was snapped and whose skin was torn open by Chen Xu.

At that time, Mengniang's headless body lay on the ground, and she appeared to be dead.

Chen Ping also thought she was dead, but he didn't expect that this thing was actually faking her death.

Just as Chen Xu waved his hand to release the blazing flames, the headless body at the center of the fire, seeing that things were not going well, suddenly leaped up like a bolt of lightning.

But the headless body did not run away directly; instead, it charged violently towards Chen Xu.

It turned out that the monster was still unwilling to give up and was preparing for one last gamble, sacrificing its own mutilated body to save Chen Xu's life.

But the sea of ​​fire before them was far more intense than they had imagined.

The headless monster accelerated its charge, only to crash head-on into a heavy petal of a fiery lotus.

The flames were so hot that in just one strike, the headless body's torso went limp, and its limbs began to change color and melt, like fine iron falling into lava.

"Ah!" the monster screamed shrilly.

All the dream maidens exclaimed in disbelief:

"Impossible! I've eaten forty-nine people, and I'm already immune to water and fire. How could I possibly be afraid of fire? What kind of flame is this?"

"Why does your flame possess an aura of the netherworld? This... this could be the legendary karmic fire?"

"You are a living person, how can you control karmic fire?"

"Ah... I refuse to accept this!"

Nine dream maidens and a headless corpse melted directly into the fire.

The other eight then darted around wildly amidst the raging flames like headless flies.

Chaotic shouts emanated from within:

"I refuse to accept this... Karmic fire is hidden in the netherworld, and you are a person of the mortal world, so how do you know how to manipulate karmic fire?"
"Heaven wants to destroy me, but it is not my fault!"

"My lord..." Amidst the shrill and chaotic cries, there was also a mournful call.

"Why do you treat me so coldly, my lord? I am your sister-in-law..."

Beyond the firelight, Chen Ping, who was originally deaf, seemed to hear those words in a daze. His blood rushed to his head, and he felt a metallic taste in his throat.

He coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his ear canals, which had been covered by a black veil, suddenly became clear.

Finally, Chen Ping witnessed the remaining eight Dream Maidens being engulfed in flames.

One of the dream maidens, still retaining the form of a beautiful woman, suddenly turned to look at Chen Ping. Amidst the raging flames, she cried out mournfully:
"Chen Lang, in the end, we are not destined to be husband and wife in this life."

The next life, the next life... ah!

She couldn't finish her last sentence.

The flames licked at her body, and she let out a scream.

In the end, whether it was pink or a skeleton, it was burned to ashes in the flames along with all the other incarnations.

The spirits that were once considered almost invincible by Xiaoshu and Wei Yuan were nothing more than a matter of a fire for Chen Xu.

Chen Ping lay on the ground, his chest aching terribly.

He clutched his chest, breathing heavily, yet for a moment he didn't know why he was in pain.

Is that it... the end of everything?

Yes, it's over.

Just as all the Dream Maidens were burned to ashes, the Heavenly Book of the Food Cauldron beside Chen Xu opened, and a new prompt appeared:
[You used karmic fire to annihilate the spirits formed from the evil forces of heaven and earth, scattering them, destroying their physical bodies, and capturing a fragment of a strange tale carried on the wind.]

【Whispers in the Wind: A chaotic language from heaven and earth; you may be able to listen to it after opening it】

This strange tale in the wind has a long history and is tainted by the chaotic energy of heaven and earth.

After listening, add last year's snow, dragon bone, and ink pool water, and refine it for nine days using the Eight Methods of Spiritual Refinement to obtain a drop of Ruyi Jade Dew.

After consuming it, one can randomly gain a new supernatural power.

[You have unlocked a new spiritual material and received a reward: Fireworks Value +1000] ...

That concludes the prompt.

The series of explanations was both novel and surprising.

Even though Chen Xu had been to the Xuan Tian Star Realm and was considered well-traveled, he never expected that there could be such a spiritual material as "Whispers in the Wind".

If the timing weren't so inappropriate, he would have immediately taken out this "whisper in the wind" and tried to listen to it.

But Chen Xu still had some vague concerns.

His killing of Mengniang, though seemingly easy and decisive, was actually a calculated move, employing considerable skill.

Especially the final karmic fire red lotus.

If Chen Xu's fire control technique hadn't reached level four, and his ability to unleash karmic fire was much stronger than at level three, it would have been almost impossible for him to burn a spirit like Meng Niang to death with ordinary spiritual fire.

Now that the spirit is dead, the cleanup still needs to be done.

Chen Xu waved his sleeve and collected the few bits of ashes left by Meng Niang's death into the kitchen.

This item also has an entry:

The ashes of spirits and demons that died from the flames of karma contain the dust and tribulations from all directions, making them high-quality spiritual materials that can be classified as sixth-grade.

After being roasted using the Eight Methods of Spiritual Roasting, and then taken with cold spiritual spring water, it can treat injuries to the spirit and soul.

It can treat patients at the early stage of Nascent Soul cultivation; it should not be used by ordinary people.

Note: Do not take too much, as excessive consumption will deplete your Qi.

Compared to that "whisper in the wind," these elf ash seem to be more practical.

It can actually heal injuries to the soul!
This was the first time Chen Xu had ever seen a spiritual material capable of healing injuries to the soul.

Back in the Xuan Tian Star Realm, he had also learned that there were two kinds of spiritual materials that were the rarest in the world.

One is spiritual material that promotes the awakening of the Dao body, and the other is spiritual material that heals injuries to the spirit and soul.

As the saying goes, saving one's body is easy, but saving one's spirit is difficult.

That's it.

Chen Xu carefully collected the ashes of the spirit, then walked towards Chen Ping.

Chen Ping was still half-lying on the ground, his chest aching unbearably.

He leaned back slightly, looking at Chen Xu with a complicated expression.

The two brothers looked at each other. One of them was slaying demons under the moonlight as if composing poetry. The demons and monsters died, but he remained untouched by the dust of the world.

The other one lay sprawled out, unable to even stand up.

Chen Ping suddenly felt ashamed of himself, and he was about to lower his head uncontrollably.

Suddenly, two cheers rang out beside me: "Squeak!"

"Brother Chen!"

Then two small figures shot out from the side like arrows.

One of them was faster, and in a flash it darted onto Chen Xu's shoulder, making a joyful sound as it said:
"Scholar, you are truly remarkable. So what if that spirit is powerful? In front of my scholar, it is nothing more than this."

Chen Ping stared intently, and was momentarily stunned.

That little creature that spoke human language was actually a gray-haired mouse!

The mouse was talking and was so close to Chen Xu that Chen Ping immediately felt his heart pounding wildly.

The horror of witnessing something extraordinary with his own eyes even overshadowed the heartache he felt when Mengniang died earlier.

Chen Ping hurriedly turned to look at another small figure.

However, the figure moved slower and did not jump directly onto Chen Xu's shoulder.

The opponent stopped on its own after running a certain distance.

Finally, the small figure stopped five or six feet in front of Chen Ping, stood up, cupped his hands, and uttered two words to Chen Xu: "Brother Chen."

He was dressed in yellow clothes, carrying a miniature book box on his back, and bowed respectfully like a human being.

It was a giant hedgehog, about 1.2 feet tall!

Chen Ping was stunned again.
