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

Chapter 59 A Boiling Furnace
In the cave, Chen Xu strode towards the two rat demons.

His heart was still beating wildly, and a thrilling aftertaste lingered in his chest.

Now the enemy seems to have been defeated, but there are more problems facing Chen Xu.

The little mouse Asi stood there with tears in his eyes, unable to move. The big rat Jiuye's white fur was stained with blood, his breath was weak, but his pair of glass-like eyes were very clear, and had the warm light of an elder.

It lay against the cave wall, and with great effort, it raised its eyes to look at Chen Xu, and said slowly: "Thank you for showing up in time today and saving us. I, I'm afraid I can't make it. Ah Shi is still young..."

Chen Xu heard that it seemed to be asking for help from the orphan, so he squatted beside it and reached out to touch it.

Touching a ball of soft white hair, Chen Xu placed his right hand on Jiu Ye's round belly, feeling the hot and throbbing energy channels under his palm.

The blood-stained white-haired rat suddenly stopped talking in surprise and looked at Chen Xu with wide eyes.

Only then did Chen Xu realize that it was a bit too presumptuous of him to press the other person's belly.

Chen Xu: “…”

He did not know medicine, but after practicing the God of Food Scroll, he had an exceptionally keen sense of the aura of all things in the world.

With this touch, Jiu Ye's breath seemed weak, but his internal organs were actually surging with energy and blood, as if there was a boiling furnace burning in his belly.

The atmosphere inside the furnace was particularly chaotic, with countless strange creatures rushing and colliding wildly in it.

Chen Xu pressed his hand down slightly and felt a horrible burning sensation.

His hand suddenly rose up, and was bounced back as if he had been electrocuted.

Chen Xu looked at Jiu Ye in surprise.

Jiu Ye also stared at him with wide eyes.

Two pairs of equally surprised eyes looked at each other, and after a moment, Master Jiu smiled bitterly and said, "You noticed it too, didn't you?

I'm not really weak, but all my energy and magic power have been disturbed and devoured by the food in my stomach. It won't be long before I die of exhaustion."

Without waiting for Chen Xu's response, the white-haired rat's furry face revealed a look of determination: "I cannot allow this creature to be born. Now that things have come to this, I can only bury it with it in the ruins of Shejun. Fellow Daoist Chen, Asi is still young..."

"Ashi is still young." Chen Xu interrupted Jiu Ye, "Can you bear to let it struggle alone in the world from now on?"

The white-haired rat paused for a moment, and then blood began to seep out of its mouth and nose again.

Chen Xu was stunned. He was also shocked by the strange thing in Jiu Ye's stomach. Is this the time to talk nonsense?

Jiu Ye had no desire to live and was only concerned about his own death. It was not because he really wanted to die, but because he felt that he had no hope of salvation.

What Chen Xu can do now is not to stimulate its desire to survive through words, but to find a way to save it!
Jiu Ye's breathing was disordered because of the presence of foreign objects in his stomach, which made his muscles weak and his internal organs ruptured.

The entry for Demonic Puppet Bone explains: [Demon food can alleviate illness to a certain extent.]

Chen Xu wasn't quite sure whether this thing could cure the disease, but since the explanation of the entry sounded like a panacea, it should be of some help to Jiu Ye.

He immediately turned around and picked up the broken bones of the demon puppet on the ground. He also did not let go of the ashes that had been burned into powder by the heart fire. He swept them into his hands along with the dirt on the ground and put them into the fireworks kitchen.

The smoke-fired kitchen can only take in food ingredients, and when it does, the mud residue will be automatically excluded.

Chen Xu turned his back to the two rat demons and ordered the Niwan Taoist soldiers to guard him. In an instant, he consumed 100 points of fireworks value and his soul entered the fireworks kitchen.

Twelve hours in the fireworks kitchen is only equivalent to a quarter of an hour in the real world.

Of course, Chen Xu did not plan to stay in the fireworks kitchen for a full twelve hours this time. He only gave himself a maximum of thirty breaths of real time.

In ancient times, a quarter of an hour is approximately equivalent to 14 minutes and 24 seconds in modern times, and thirty breaths are approximately one minute.

Converted to the time in the fireworks kitchen, it would be about half an hour and two quarters of an hour.

This time is enough.

Chen Xu had also developed a new use for the Fireworks Kitchen. When time was tight in the real world, he could escape into the Fireworks Kitchen and use the time difference to solve many problems. The only downside was that each entry into the Fireworks Kitchen consumed 100 Fireworks Points.

After Chen Xu entered once, even if he failed to use up all twelve hours of usage time inside, the remaining time would be automatically reset to zero.

This is inevitably a bit wasteful, but there is no need to worry about it at this time.

Fortunately, Chen Xu still has enough social life value now, and his trip back to his hometown during the day earned him a lot of likes.

【Accumulated likes: 2896】

[Free attribute points: 104]

[Fireworks value: 1597]

The abundant fireworks value and attribute points gave Chen Xu a strong sense of confidence and security. He first added three attribute points to each of his three treasures of spirit, energy and soul.

As the attribute points are added, a familiar sense of power instantly surges in.

Chen Xu immediately became energized, and the little bit of innate Qi that was consumed by the previous fire control technique was immediately replenished, and even increased significantly.

[Cultivation: Early stage of Tongmai Realm (3.1%)]

While Chen Xu was naturally moving the innate Qi in his body, he quickly spent 60 fireworks points to unlock and learn the specific method of grinding the demon bones and magic puppets.

The grinding of the magic puppet bone does not require any other auxiliary materials. The only thing you need to pay attention to is the temperature of the fire control technique.

The refining of each kind of spiritual food and the rhythm of controlling fire have their own unique secret recipes.

Every time Chen Xu unlocked a secret recipe, it was equivalent to learning a new way to control fire.

For example, when calcining the magic puppet bones, the method used is to alternate between civil and military fires.

Three breaths of fierce fire, ten breaths of gentle fire, and then rapid flashing and calcining -

The secret recipe calls this method: the secret of inlaid gold.

Chen Xu has now unlocked many secret recipes for spiritual food and learned several spells.

And every time he learned a new related spell, his experience in fire control would improve.

It can be said to be a very complete virtuous cycle, which makes Chen Xu feel interesting and motivated every time he practices.

In the fireworks kitchen, Chen Xu spent half a minute learning the art of inlaying gold, and then began to calcine and grind the magic puppet bones.

In the cave, everything was the same as before.

Chen Xu was still squatting and picking up the broken bones on the ground, and the majestic Niwan Taoist soldier followed him like a god.

The white-haired rat had blood oozing from its mouth and nose, and the mouse Asi had tears in his eyes.

Asi was hit by the immobilization spell and could not move. He could only blink desperately and try his best to mobilize the weak magic power in his body to attack his bound blood and meridians.

I don't know how long it has been—

In fact, it didn't take long. It was only a dozen breaths after Chen Xu turned his back.

But in Asi's feeling, it really had been struggling for too long.

It lasted so long that it almost felt like its entire body was about to break apart. Finally, a stream of air broke through its throat, causing it to cry out loudly: "Master Jiu, please let me go. I can refine the golden jade spirit blood to save you..."

While he was speaking, he suddenly saw the scholar in blue clothes who was squatting with his back to the other side stand up.

Ah Shi stopped talking all of a sudden, staring at Chen Xu with his round eyes in panic.
