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

Chapter 90: Undercurrents, Who Benefits Most? (Revised)

What exactly is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth?
Chen Xu sat at the small table in the inn, facing the eight bronze lamps on the ground. He remained alert and waited for the return of County Magistrate Feng and his son, but his mind was wandering in the dark.

He sensed every aura he could sense within a radius of three feet around him.

Those clear, rising, actively moving, yet mysterious and elusive things that come from nowhere must be the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Those complicated, sticky, impetuous and inexplicable things that always fill the space and seem to be generated continuously on their own must be the foul air of the world.

Hidden among the chaotic and turbid air, silent and seemingly without a sense of existence, relatively few in number, yet equally omnipresent...

If you touch it with your mind, you will immediately feel a chill that penetrates deep into your bones.

This is the energy of the underworld!
It turns out that the aura of the underworld does exist in the human world.

The underworld and the human world are originally one.

This concept, which had naturally appeared in Chen Xu's mind since he obtained supernatural powers, suddenly became concrete at this moment.

Chen Xu carefully experienced it and found that the new magical power not only strengthened his perception of the underworld.

Specifically, the Netherworld Infernal Power should enhance Chen Xu's perception of the entire world and all auras around him.

Very magical.

Because of this magical power, Chen Xu felt that the veil of the world seemed to be lifted a little in front of him.

Although, this small area only covers an area within three feet around him.

All in all it's a big improvement and very interesting.

Chen Xu had an idea in his mind, so he stretched out his hand and gently pointed at the wooden box beside him.

The wooden box containing a bunch of spiritual objects disappeared from his sight out of thin air and entered a small space that seemed empty and quiet.

The small space is only six feet square, but it exists as Chen Xu intends.

This is the Nine Netherworlds Hidden Void that Chen Xu defined for himself!
At this moment, Jiuyouzangxu is only six feet square, but who knows if one day it will become an endless cave as described in Taoist myths and legends?
Chen Xu was delighted and took out and put back the small wooden box many times.

Only after he had mastered the use of Jiuyou Cangxu completely did he put all the edible spiritual materials with entries in the wooden box into the fireworks kitchen.

There are five kinds of edible spiritual materials, namely one [Red Blood Spiritual Ginseng], six [Xuan Yang Fire Dates], one ounce of [Dan Yu Spiritual Rice], three drops of [Rehmannia Spiritual Marrow], and one [Nourishing Spirit Jade Leaf].

Among them, there are three types of methods to replenish qi and blood, two types of methods to replenish the spirit and soul, but none of them to replenish essence.

These are the rewards sent by County Magistrate Feng.

Chen Xu guessed that things that could replenish essence should be extremely rare.

With County Magistrate Feng's wealth, it would be difficult to own it.

This is not surprising. Simply put, replenishing essence is equivalent to replenishing the root of life. Isn't it rare to find things that can prolong life?

Chen Xu identified all the spiritual materials and immersed his mind in the fireworks kitchen to sort out all the gains he had made on this trip.

There are many interesting items, and he has organized them into categories.

Look at your own likes statistics:
【Accumulated likes: 6295】

[Free attribute points: 88]

[Fireworks value: 3866]

The free attribute points that had been almost depleted are now in abundance again.

The three attributes of Chen Xu become:
[Essence: 91]

[Qi and Blood: 91]

[Spirit: 91]

[Cultivation: Tongmai Realm Early Stage 52%]

【Shouyuan: 18/150】

Before he knew it, his life span had increased to 150 years!
Chen Xu felt the abundant energy in his body and was not in a hurry to go into the kitchen to practice.

He just sat on the chair, continuously sensing the aura around him, while silently waiting for the appearance of County Magistrate Feng and his son.

Outside the window, another night rain began to fall continuously and heavily.

There is always abundant rain in Yunjiang Prefecture in February and March.

Continuous spring rain often foreshadows a good harvest in autumn. Listening to the sound of rain, Chen Xu felt his mind clear and his whole soul seemed to be dancing to the rhythm of the spring rain.

The innate Qi in the body flows quietly, gradually becoming harmonious and fulfilling.

That night, Chen Xu had been through many things, but now he felt the night was peaceful.

But for some people in Yunjiang City, the same night is full of undercurrents.

For example, the backyard of Yunjiang County Government Office.

Feng Yuanbai came to Yunjiang Prefecture to serve as the magistrate of the attached county. He was restricted in every way and kept a low profile. He did not buy a separate residence, but directly lived with his family in the backyard of the county government office.

In the evening, he arrested Wang Ji and tortured him. The Wang family came to ask for his release but failed. Later, there was a big quarrel between the two sides.

Instead, Feng Yuanbai secretly imprisoned Wang Ji in the county government dungeon on the charge of murder, which was next to the prison office.

The Wang family sent people to search for Wang Ji in the backyard of the county government office at night, but they didn't find him.

It took a lot of effort to find out that the person was in the dungeon, but the Wang family did not dare to rob the dungeon next to the prison.

To this end, the Wang family mobilized all their connections to suppress Feng Yuanbai, even alarming the prefect.

But the attitude of the Yunjiang prefect was ambiguous. After all, although Feng Yuanbai was only a small county magistrate, the Wang family had offended more than just Feng Yuanbai this time!
At night, deep in the Wang family mansion, cries of the old lady could be heard from the yard.

However, a male voice suppressed his anger and said, "This evil creature has caused great trouble. Now that he has come to this point, I'm afraid his family can no longer protect him.

If we force it any further, it will lead to a violent backlash from those companies.

Even our Wang family would find it difficult to withstand such hostility from all sides."

After wiping away her tears, the old lady of the Wang family said in a deep voice, "I've already said that Ji'er didn't do anything bad on purpose. It must be that evil person who plotted to harm my dear grandson.

If we give in like this now, wouldn't that be tantamount to admitting guilt?

I cannot admit to this crime!
Boss, this is not just for Ji'er, but for our entire Wang family.

Ji'er must be saved, and the mastermind behind this must be apprehended."

"The mastermind behind this..." Wang Xian said bitterly, "I can't find out. I've tried every possible means, even divination, but I can't find any obvious traces."

"If you can't find out, write to the third brother."

"I've already written, but I'm afraid Third Brother won't be able to get a reply these days. I wonder how many days it will take."

"Are we just going to let Ji'er get into trouble like this? Boss, you are Ji'er's biological father."

The old lady's voice gradually became stern. "In some cases, if magic is useless, then we should think carefully about who will benefit and who will benefit the most!"

"The biggest benefit..." Wang Xian took a deep breath, stood up and paced around the room.

"Do you know who it is?" the old lady demanded sharply, "Tell me now!"

Wang Xian was urged so hard, but he hesitated and said nothing. After a moment, he suddenly shook his head and smiled bitterly:

“No, not him!

After all, with his talent, he can become famous wherever he goes.

That was the person who wrote three poems about green smoke in a critical moment.

When the poem was completed, both humans and ghosts were impressed.

After this incident, it was inevitable that his fame would spread throughout Yunjiang. It was only a matter of time before his name spread beyond Yunjiang Prefecture.

With such a great literary reputation, once the literary world is opened up, it will surely overflow with literary energy and surge forward.

But if we talk about benefits, would he not get these even if he didn't go to the ghost market?
No, the only benefit is probably being a benefactor to all the families..."

Wang Xian analyzed it carefully, his words full of unfinished meaning.

The old lady was anxious and her voice was angry: "What do you mean by 'him'? Who are you talking about? Boss, if you can't make a decision, ask me to make it for you! As long as there is a suspicion, I don't care whether it is him or not. Come here..."

"No, mother!" Wang Xian interrupted her hurriedly, saying seriously, "If you really act like this, you will fall into the trap of the mastermind behind the scenes.

Mother, please don't be impulsive, this black hand..."

Wang Xian sighed. After thinking carefully, he still had to explain some things to the old lady.

"Mother, now is the critical period for my third brother's promotion.

At this time, if something happens in my hometown, who will be most affected?
It was probably because of those people that such a perfect scheme was set up."

What Wang Xian was referring to were some political enemies of the third brother Wang Zhi.

The more he thought about it, the more horrified he became.

The old lady had no idea what he was thinking, she was just furious, annoyed that her eldest son was too indecisive, timid and cowardly.

"So what are you going to do? If nothing works, are you going to just keep being a coward?"

As he spoke, he almost wanted to poke Wang Xian on the head with the dragon-headed cane in his hand.

"No, mother." Wang Xian frowned, letting the old lady scold him. He just sighed and said, "This is a critical period. My third brother's future is more important. Right now, I can't admit my guilt. Secondly, I have to appease the families. Thirdly...

Let's see if that person can pass this test."

Wang Xian lowered his voice slightly, then gradually became firmer: "No, regardless of whether that person can pass this exam or not, we need to make two plans!
Tomorrow I will prepare a generous gift and thank him in public."

When the old lady heard this, she was stunned.
