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

Chapter 63: From now on, we will look up and down at the blue sky, and the wind will blow across thousands of miles.

That evening, Chen Xu was in a magical cave in the corner of the kitchen.

Saved two rat demons and drank a cup of tea.

He promised to meet again after he passed the imperial examination. When saying goodbye, he suddenly raised his hand and stroked the top of the mouse Ah Shi's furry head firmly.

With this touch, the gray-gold mouse jumped back dozens of feet.

It suddenly jumped out of the stone chamber door and hid its nimble little body beside the cave wall, only sticking out its head to look at Chen Xu cautiously and vigilantly.

Chen Xu laughed heartily, and heard Jiu Ye also say with a smile: "I will send you off now. If you want to come again in the future, just knock three times, two long and one short, at the corner of the stove."

Chen Xu's senses were widened, and he suddenly felt as if countless strange lights condensed into solid lines in front of his eyes.

Those lines are colorful and bizarre.

They shuttled back and forth beside Chen Xu at high speed, forming a wonderful passage. When Chen Xu was about to see something in detail, he suddenly felt his eyes blurred.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back in his kitchen.

The old and thin voice of Jiu Ye still rang faintly in my ears: "I pray that fellow Daoist will have a smooth journey in literature, grow wings of his own, and look up and down at the sky, and be with the wind across thousands of miles. I look forward to your return..."

The faint voice seemed to be by my ear, but it had clearly gone away long ago.

Chen Xu stood in the dimly lit kitchen, noticing that the sky had already darkened. With a thought, he summoned his inner fire to ignite an oil lamp on a nearby shelf.

The orange-yellow light illuminated everything around him, and Chen Xu let out a long breath.

The innate Qi in the body circulates around the body, making people's minds clear.

On the Shi Ding Tian Shu board, Chen Xu found that he suddenly had an additional status.

[Ancestral seat: Chen Xu]

[Title: Pyrotechnics Apprentice]

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

[Current Status: Talented magical power awakening (1%)]

[Special Status: Perfect Foundation Building, Qi Returns to the Innate State]

Innate talent!
The cup of Golden Spirit Jade Tea that Chen Xu had just drunk in the rat demon's cave indeed prompted him to awaken his innate magical powers.

Although the food entry explains: [Within ten days, there is a 30% chance of obtaining a natural magical power].

It can be seen that this awakening may not be 100% successful, but Chen Xu always vaguely felt that something seemed to be different from somewhere.

He couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion and was full of anticipation.

Chen Xu lit the lamp and returned to his room.

The night rain is still falling, and Ping'an Lane at night always gives people a strange feeling of being both quiet and lively.

Chen Xu now has outstanding three-element attributes, sharp ears and eyes, and can easily hear the night conversations next door.

"Mother, Mr. Chen next door hired you to sell cakes for him again today? Could he be changing his career to become a chef? Will he still take the imperial examination in the future?"

"Who knows? Isn't it just right not to test him? I sell him food every day, so I'm sure it will sell well and his business will continue to grow..."

Chen Xu couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

He deliberately turned his attention back to the gossip next door, and instead of listening to the gossip from next door, he once again consumed 100 fireworks points to enter the fireworks kitchen and begin his daily routine practice.

Of course, it is not just about ascetic practice, but about combining meditation practice with the preparation of spiritual food.

Chen Xu took stock of all the spiritual materials he had on hand. There was no need to mention those that he had already used, such as one penny of Heart Fire Divine Lotus and three ounces of Heart Monkey Dust Flame.

There are some that have not been used or have not been used up, such as blood agar, which has more than three pounds left, and millet mud, which has fifteen pounds left, etc.

Smoke Kitchen has a full list of these:
【Spiritual Materials】

【1.剪魂蚕（*1），2.血琼脂（3.2斤），3.黍浆泥胎（15斤）4.思邪珠（*1），5.一两痛快，三分惆怅（*1）

6. Worry-relieving grass (*1), 7. One coin of ghost incense, 8. Three fox spirit whiskers...]

Among these things, the recipe for the Soul-Cut Silkworm's spiritual food is the simplest. Just coat it in batter and fry it, and the kids next door will cry with envy.

Chen Xu didn't make it before, mainly because unlocking the recipe of this thing requires 80 fireworks points, and Chen Xu's fireworks point balance has always been insufficient.

Now, [Fireworks Value: 1437], Chen Xu felt a sense of relief. He prepared all the spiritual food that was readily available at the time. He fried the Soul-Cut Silkworm, which could increase his Spiritual Power by 20 points at a time. He would store this for the time being, saving it for the right moment.

Blood agar can be used to make wine. Chen Xu took one pound of blood agar and made five pounds of Fengli wine.

It’s a pity that in the Dali Dynasty, selling wine requires a wine license, which is difficult to obtain. Now Chen Xu can only prepare a small amount of "fake spiritual wine" to drink himself or give to others, but he cannot sell it on a large scale.

He took out five pounds of millet paste clay and used it with the poisonous insects and auxiliary materials he had bought from the pharmacy to make twenty clay pills.

Chen Xu did not plan to use the remaining ten kilograms. He wanted to keep them for refining the Niwan Dao soldiers after his cultivation level reached a higher level.

[A little bit of happiness, three parts of melancholy] I used up one portion before, and got another one later.

Chen Xu did not waste any time and took advantage of his spare time to make another batch of [Soul-Sending Powder].

The worry-relieving grass was added with several auxiliary materials and fried into the worry-relieving fruit tea. Although the fox demon's whiskers were also spiritual materials, they were after all a token of trust given by the fox demon, so Chen Xu kept them separately and did not use them.

……

In addition, the most important thing is to spend 500 fireworks points to unlock the water diversion technique!
That night, Chen Xu went into the fireworks kitchen three times and did what an ordinary person would take three days and nights to finish in one night.

If you feel tired, give yourself some extra energy, then meditate to regulate your breathing and circulate the Qi around your body.

The ternary attributes have therefore once again achieved significant growth.

[Essence: 55]

[Qi and Blood: 55]

[Spirit: 55]

[Free attribute points: 65]

[Cultivation: Early stage of Tongmai Realm (6.3%)]

As long as he has enough attribute points and fireworks values, and Chen Xu can put in enough effort to practice hard, his practice speed will jump rapidly.

As the three-element attributes gradually improve, the innate Qi in the body also begins to change from a trickle to gradually become as thick as a thumb.

The four methods of controlling fire, calling wind, directing water, and chopping wood are also being improved simultaneously.

Among them, the fire control skill improved the fastest, while the wood chopping skill lagged behind slightly.

Finally, Chen Xu’s fireworks value still had [757] points left.

Chen Xu did not use it all up in one go. The time difference in the fireworks kitchen could be put to good use at any time. Keeping some fireworks value on hand was just in case.

In the following days, Chen Xu continued to go to the market to buy ingredients and store them in the kitchen, or made simple porridge and cakes and gave them to Aunt Lai to sell to get likes.

Excluding the thirty taels of silver he had previously given to his family, Chen Xu now had two hundred and twenty-three taels of silver left.

Although not rich compared with the wealthy families, silver actually has a strong purchasing power. If it is only used to pay for the imperial examination, it would be a huge sum of money.

In the meantime, Chen Xu also went to Wu Zhengze's house and fulfilled his promise to send Wu Zhengze a small portion of Qingyou fruit tea.

When Master Wu drank this tea, he gave Chen Xu 200 likes in one breath!

It was not that the Master praised Chen Xu two hundred times after drinking the tea, but that the Master's drinking of tea triggered a special effect.

[The diners are extremely happy, and the drinker who triggers the status leaves his name, and the upper limit of likes for the day is doubled, and all likes for the day can be achieved at once].

Chen Xu thus learned that Mr. Wu’s daily like limit was 100 points!
Mr. Wu only achieved the title of Juren, but his daily like limit can reach 100 points, which is 5 times that of the mouse Asi.

Chen Xu couldn't help but have a thought: how many likes can he earn just by selling snacks?
The real majority of likes should go to those creatures that ordinary people cannot achieve.

Of course, the basic foundation cannot be lost. After all, a single tree cannot support a tree. Only walking on two legs is the real long-term plan.

In this way, five days passed in a flash, and soon it was the early morning of the agreed day.

The students gathered at the north gate, and a total of five carriages drove out of the gate.

The wheels rumble and the horses gallop.

Looking back at Jichuan, it is time to take the exam again.

But no one knew that ten miles away, a carriage with brocade curtains and embroidered screens was parked by the road.

Eight guards followed with swords in hand. Although the swords were not unsheathed, they exuded an awe-inspiring aura.
