Food System in Cultivation World-Chapter 402 - 381

Chen Xu felt a surge of excitement.

On the Food Cauldron Celestial Book, there were unexpectedly large clusters of likes: [Likes +2700+2500+2000...]

Wow!

Where did all these likes come from? What did he do?

Chen Xu hadn’t actually done anything, yet these likes surged like a torrent. In the blink of an eye, they had directly increased by over seventeen thousand likes for Chen Xu.

Among them, besides the numerous one-time likes of more than [2000], there were also some like counts of [+1000+800+7000...].

There were also some like counts of [+500+600] and so on.

The exact source of these likes, the Food Cauldron Celestial Book did not specify.

But for the like count of [+2700], Chen Xu could directly probe the life essence of the other party through such an excessive number of likes.

With such an over-the-top like count, the other person is at the Golden Core Stage!

Chen Xu then speculated about the origin of these likes.

It must be... Golden Abacus.

It must be none other than Golden Abacus.

Although Chen Xu had never directly sold spiritual food to Golden Abacus, nor had he asked Ji Yang to gift him any, the situation at hand was not difficult to deduce.

Presumably, since Golden Abacus valued the use of the Celestial Secret Box so much, having someone investigate the previous buyers of the Celestial Secret Box from Ji Yang’s stall was only reasonable.

Purchasing one or two spiritual foods from them would be more than justified.

Since he purchased them, Golden Abacus naturally needed to taste them.

After tasting, he casually praised them a few words on the Unmoored Boat, resulting in Chen Xu receiving an enormous number of likes. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

How perfect it is!

Chen Xu smiled silently, and turned back to look at the distant light gate of the Hundred Battles Ruins.

It turned out that through the void gate of the Hundred Battles Ruins, he was able to receive likes emitted by the cultivators inside.

What does this mean?

It implies that after officially breaking through to the Golden Core Stage, Chen Xu’s range for receiving likes has expanded!

However, shortly after, Chen Xu sighed quietly.

He thought of how a single like from Golden Abacus could reach [2700] points, whereas a single like from Wen Daoyuan was only [2000] points.

Wen Daoyuan was a Great Scholar of this era, one of the top figures in the Li Kingdom.

Yet his overall strength did not surpass that of Golden Abacus.

The so-called overall strength does not simply refer to combat power.

Based on his own perception, Chen Xu roughly judged that Golden Abacus should not be stronger than Wen Daoyuan.

Because he didn’t sense any threat from Golden Abacus, whereas Wen Daoyuan—

In a life-or-death battle, Chen Xu had no confidence in winning against Wen Daoyuan.

But the single-like count from Golden Abacus far exceeded Wen Daoyuan’s, which signifies what?

It likely indicates that Golden Abacus’s life essence or life resources far exceed those of Wen Daoyuan!

This is a unique advantage of cultivators in this world.

Through various understandings, Chen Xu now knows that practitioners at the Qi Cultivation level in this world often have lifespans no different from ordinary people, whereas those at the Foundation Establishment level can generally expect a lifespan of two hundred years.

As for the Golden Core Stage, it ranges from as little as three hundred years to as much as five hundred years.

The foundation of such lifespans depends on the cultivation technique.

For example, most techniques are ordinary, like the "Qingyang Technique," which, although not extraordinary, results in a three-hundred-year lifespan when the Golden Core is achieved.

However, if one can cultivate a longevity technique such as the "Qingming Longevity Record," it can extend lifespan up to five hundred years.

Once reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, the lifespan starts from a thousand years, reportedly ranging from a minimum of one thousand years to a maximum of three thousand years.

The Transformation God Ancestors are rumored to live up to ten thousand years, with each one being a living history book.

As for the Tribulation Stage and beyond, Chen Xu currently has no information.

There is very little discussion available in the market, nor is it recorded in the travel notes of the Star Return Ancestor.

The aspect where the Star Return Ancestor mentioned being "gravely ill" has always been kept in Chen Xu’s mind, awaiting future clarification.

What does it mean to be "gravely ill" at the Tribulation Stage?

It’s utterly incomprehensible and unimaginable.

Chen Xu at this moment thought of Wen Daoyuan, mainly because he once expressed a lament about "a century in the world passing in haste," which left Chen Xu feeling somewhat melancholic.

Life is finite, and the mystery of longevity is always etched in the lives of successive generations of cultivators.

This matter is profoundly complex.

All Chen Xu can do is seize the opportunity and make significant progress.

If he has surplus energy in the future, he should also assist some old friends in the Great Li Kingdom.

This vast heaven and earth, wouldn’t it be lonely to lack three or five kindred spirits?

Chen Xu checked his current total number of likes:

[Accumulated Likes: 126527]

[Fireworks Value: 29628]

[Free Attribute Points: 597]

After this visit to the Hundred Battles Ruins, his Free Attribute Points had directly soared from their previous levels to 597 points!

This is unprecedented wealth.

Not to mention other aspects, just considering the resource availability of high-level experts in this world, it is astonishingly rich.

If the goal was solely to increase accumulated likes, Chen Xu suspected he could possibly achieve a target of a million likes in a short time.

But when put in reality, things are not that simple.

The most important thing is that his current cultivation is insufficient, and he must not be too ostentatious.

Chen Xu, while reflecting on his recent gains, silently followed behind Ji Yang, walking slowly.

He began to seriously consider that perhaps he should join a sect in this world.

Or maybe he should directly join a faction focused on Spirit Chefs.

Only then could he maximize the advantages of his Food Cauldron Celestial Book!

Nevertheless, which sect or faction to target requires careful consideration from Chen Xu at present.

Ji Yang’s purchase of that volume, "Sects Manual," needs a detailed reading.

At the same time, he must investigate the differences between various factions before making a decision.

Thus, he pondered all along the way, taking stock of things continuously.
