NOVEL NEXT Chapter 343
Beside Chen Xu, the Food Cauldron Celestial Book opened.
Because of his recent action of tossing out a roast chicken, three masters simultaneously gave him praise.
As a result, the Food Cauldron Celestial Book captured three types of Spiritual Materials again.
[In this world, nothing reaches the soul better than food. You've broken the barrier between human and demon with food, receiving genuine praise from a wolf demon of the Demon Pill Realm.
Obtained the spiritual material, Three-Turn Demon Spirit Fragrance.]
[Three-Turn Demon Spirit Fragrance: Grind it into powder, combine with the food cultivator's blood, and stir-fry using the Spirit Roasting Eight Techniques for more than thirty-six hours.
You can obtain Three-Turn Demon Spirit Guide Fragrance.
Scatter this fragrance into the rain and integrate it into the wind. If any demon spirits inhale it, they will be subject to the creator's control for thirty-six hours.
Note: The higher the cultivation of the controlled demon spirits, the fewer the number; the lower the cultivation, the more numerous they are.
The highest cultivation of controlled demon spirits must not exceed the early stage of the Demon Pill Realm, or backlash will occur.]
This...
This Three-Turn Demon Spirit Fragrance is such a mystical object!
Of course, due to the limitation on the "controlled demon spirits" cultivation, it seems somewhat awkward from a certain perspective?
But in Chen Xu's view, there are no truly awkward Spiritual Objects in the world, only people who don't know how to use them.
Just like the roast chicken he tossed out.
Did that roast chicken have any killing power?
No.
From the moment it was roasted, its destiny was to be eaten.
Yet it was this roast chicken that quickly resolved the wolf demon that even a Great Scholar would find troublesome.
However, there's still a minor issue.
For instance, when Wen Daoyuan liked it, his initial like value was [2000]points.
But when the wolf demon liked it, the initial like value was only [1000]points.
From this, Wen Daoyuan's strength should theoretically be twice that of the wolf demon.
Theoretically, Wen Daoyuan could lightly exhale and perhaps suppress the wolf demon.
Yet, Wen Daoyuan seemingly isn't capable of such strength.
After pondering for a moment, through the Celestial Book's feedback, Chen Xu quickly understood:
It turns out that this like value, while connected to the "strength" of the liker to some extent, isn't entirely synonymous with combat power.
"Strength" actually also includes a person's vitality, reputation, foundation, potential... It's an incredibly complex system that's hard to decode purely by numerical value.
"Combat power," however, is different.
It simply represents the liker's combat prowess, but from some angles, combat power can change even more swiftly than "strength."
For example, a child and a grown man.
If the grown man is in a deep sleep and the child stabs with a sharp blade, the grown man may die instantly from lack of reaction.
But even if the child kills the grown man, can you say the child's combat power surpasses the grown man's?
Naturally, you cannot.
Therefore, Chen Xu concluded that the like value captured by the Food Cauldron Celestial Book also couldn't fully explain the liker's combat power.
This thing can only be used as a reference by Chen Xu, without excessive reliance.
Otherwise, he might make grave errors observing the enemy.
He silently noted the conclusion and quickly scanned the other hints in the Celestial Book.

[You unlocked a new Spiritual Material, Fireworks Value +1000]
[Reward Like +300]
Chen Xu looked at the explanation for the [Cyan Cloud Lotus Seed] and was momentarily stunned.
What does higher-level world's subtleties mean?
This world is intricate like this.
Its vastness, even though Chen Xu has flown across the Southern and Northern Borders for millions of miles, it still seems he hasn't seen its entirety.
Sometimes, he feels like he's just a frog at the bottom of a well.
He always wants to see the higher, broader, more limitless sky!
As for consuming the Cyan Cloud Lotus Seed to increase lifespan by three hundred years, at this moment for Chen Xu, it seems it can be ignored.
Three hundred years of lifespan is not trivial, but Chen Xu doesn't lack three hundred years.
He's chasing immortality just like many cultivators in the world.
But at the same time, Chen Xu actually never clings to immortality.
If one is forever confined to a tiny world, a caged bird, a garden beast, what good is immortality?
The cloud boat flies briskly, the breeze rushes like a knife.
Chen Xu stands on the cloud boat; at this moment, he sees the sunrise in the distant sky, and he seems to see the vast universes beyond the sunrise.
What mysteries does this world hold?
He doesn't know.
Yet feels his heart embracing the sunrise, filled with vigorous spirit.
Beside him, Wen Daoyuan, with a bite of meat and a sip of wine, unknowingly consumed the whole chicken and the entire jug of wine.
Until there's only a pile of chicken bones left in front of him and no more wine in the wine gourd, Wen Daoyuan abruptly stopped his actions.
Then he looked at the empty plate in front of him, then at Chen Xu next to him, coughed twice, and laughed awkwardly.
Even a Great Scholar feels embarrassed after eating alone...
Wen Daoyuan hurriedly swept his sleeve, and the chicken bones and empty plate in front of the cloud boat disappeared.
Including the wine gourd he drank empty, it was also stored in his storage space.
Wen Daoyuan took out a clean white handkerchief, wrapped his broad sleeve to wipe the grease off his mouth completely clean.
"Ahem!" He coughed again, looking at Chen Xu.
Chen Xu looked at him too.
They faced each other for a moment, and then, Wen Daoyuan suddenly burst into laughter.
"How embarrassing, how embarrassing." Wen Daoyuan finished laughing and coughed again, "I also have more at home"
"Ahem!" He coughed again, looking at Chen Xu.
Chen Xu looked at him too.
They faced each other for a moment, and then, Wen Daoyuan suddenly burst into laughter.
"How embarrassing, how embarrassing." Wen Daoyuan finished laughing and coughed again, "I also have more at home"
