Food System in Cultivation World

What does the world outside this world really look like?

Chen Xu widened his eyes, his heart pounding violently.

Even when completing the grand feat of diverting water from the south to the north, his emotions were not as intense as they were at this moment.

He was eager to take in everything, yet instinctively wanted to mobilize his True Qi to protect himself.

This was a natural instinct for self-protection. Anyone arriving in a completely unfamiliar world would first want to assess their self-defense capabilities before gradually exploring.

Yet, with this mobilization of True Qi, Chen Xu suddenly discovered a terrifying fact.

He suddenly realized that the gravity of this world was shockingly overwhelming!

In the dim light, what assailed him from all directions was not the thick Spiritual Qi, but rather terrifying pressure.

Chen Xu felt like a fish out of water, suddenly arriving on land.

It was also like a bubble, accustomed to floating lightly, suddenly entering the real world.

The pressure from all directions was almost suffocating him.

He felt a sensation of being compressed.

Creak, creak—

No, this wasn't an illusion!

It seemed he was really being compressed.

This wouldn't do, Chen Xu desperately mobilized the remaining True Yuan from his Dantian.

Cold sweat broke out all over his body.

Terrible, earlier to break through the barrier, he had converted all his remaining Free Attribute Points, leaving him with none to sustain his True Yuan now.

This was the first time Chen Xu had exhausted his trump cards.

Wait, no, he still had other trump cards.

Due to the convenience of Free Attribute Points, Chen Xu almost forgot he had a stockpile of Spiritual Food in his Fire and Smoke Kitchen.

He quickly connected to the Fire and Smoke Kitchen and laboriously extracted various Spiritual Food, consuming them as fast as he could.

It's worth mentioning that although it was the fastest speed, Chen Xu's actual actions were still very slow.

The air pressure was too immense, so great that only with all his might could Chen Xu eat a few spoonfuls of Spirit Rice Porridge and swallow a handful of Red Vermilion Robe to replenish his meager Spiritual Qi.

Fortunately, the Fire and Smoke Kitchen was still operational.

Coming to a strange and exotic world hadn't deprived Chen Xu of his control over the Fire and Smoke Kitchen.

He strained to adjust his breathing, and fortunately, the Innate True Essence inherently possessed the characteristic of being Endless. After half an hour of breathing adjustment, his depleted strength finally began to gradually recover a bit.

If the Dantian were a lake or sea, then at this moment, Chen Xu had finally accumulated a thin layer of True Yuan spiritual liquid in his depleted lake or sea.

The dim Golden Core began to recover some of its luster.

He let out a soft breath, relieved that he seemed to be in a secluded area with no other living beings around.

Chen Xu was too unfamiliar with this world. He just wanted to quietly adjust his breathing now, without prematurely encountering "anyone" from this world.

He caught his breath, still feeling immense pressure, with every movement extremely difficult, but fortunately, he did have cultivation.

Activating his True Yuan, Chen Xu maneuvered it through his body, barely adapting to the terrifying pressure from all sides.

He widened his eyes to look around, first noticing the dim light.

At first, Chen Xu thought it might be night in this world, hence the dim lighting.

But when the True Yuan reached his ocular acupoints and his Eye Power brightened, Chen Xu realized the dim lighting here had nothing to do with day or night!

It turned out, he was actually inside a cave.

The cave walls on all sides were ancient and weathered, the rock's texture bumpy and mottled, bearing the marks of time.

Where he currently stood was relatively a spacious area within the cave, and looking ahead, he could see a rugged path within the cave.

There was a particularly narrow turn, and Chen Xu couldn't see what the path was like beyond it.

He instinctively wanted to extend his Divine Thought but suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head.

Not good!

The pressure here was too great for his Divine Thought to extend out.

If he forcibly extended it, it would first harm himself.

Chen Xu suppressed the headache and quickly placed his hand against a piece of the cave wall beside him.

He took a couple of rapid breaths, inhaling a dense Spiritual Qi.

Whoosh—

For the first time, Chen Xu experienced just how it felt to almost choke to death on Spiritual Qi.

Indeed, the Spiritual Qi in this world was extraordinarily abundant.

Compared to it, the Great Li Chen Xu came from seemed like a barren desert where not even a trace of Spiritual Qi was to be found.

Thus, to say this world was inhospitable would definitely be incorrect.

It was just that Chen Xu had not yet adapted to this world, and with such abundant Spiritual Qi, perhaps it would truly unravel the mystery of immortality.

Supporting himself against the cave wall, Chen Xu resumed adjusting his breath.

When he caught his breath again, he delightedly found that the True Yuan in his Dantian had increased significantly.

Very good, it seemed with such abundant Spiritual Qi in this world, for Chen Xu to fully recover would merely take dozens or hundreds more breaths of Spiritual Qi.

The biggest problem now was not the lack of Spiritual Qi, but rather he couldn't absorb it.

He feared absorbing too quickly, leading to his own demise or causing his body to explode.

Chen Xu took another breath, feeling much calmer now.

He regained his composure and was no longer in a hurry.

Then Chen Xu circulated the True Yuan around his eyes, carefully examining the cave once more.

He wouldn't easily leave the cave without scrutinizing it thoroughly.

Looking closely, Chen Xu found the cave relatively dry; just from the condition of the rocks, it didn't seem drastically different from the terrain of the Great Li.

The corners of the cave walls faintly grew moss, but not excessively due to insufficient humidity.

Occasional patches of moss bore small flowers, and turning his head, Chen Xu suddenly spotted an entry in the corner:
