Food System in Cultivation World-Chapter 483 - 449

A quarter of an hour later, Chen Xu’s divine soul entered the Fire and Smoke Kitchen.

In the Great Li Kingdom, each time he entered the Fire and Smoke Kitchen, he only consumed 100 Fireworks Value.

This value had not solidified due to the 1000 Fireworks Value needed in the Xuantian Star Realm.

Chen Xu always felt that there were many secrets between the two worlds, and the existence of the Great Li Kingdom couldn’t be simply explained as a "world within a painting."

Now, through the different consumption of Fireworks Value on both sides and the previous "whisper in the wind," Chen Xu seemed to have gained a deeper understanding of this.

In the Fire and Smoke Kitchen, he consolidated his rapidly advancing cultivation.

From the Golden Core Seventh Layer to the Golden Core Eighth Layer, not only did his True Yuan become richer, but his Golden Core also became more spiritual. There was an extremely mysterious boundary that he needed to cross.

That was the gestation of the Dharma Image.

Of course, Chen Xu was now merely approaching the Golden Core Eighth Layer and hadn’t truly reached the eighth layer yet.

Therefore, he was only barely touching upon the nuance of Dharma Image gestation.

Once he truly understands the direction of his own Dharma Image and plants the seed of the Dharma Image in his Golden Core, he will be able to break through to the eighth layer.

And to break through to the ninth layer, the Dharma Image seed must transform from virtual to real to produce an embryo.

When that embryo grows and breaks through the earth, it will be the time Chen Xu truly breaks through the Golden Core Realm and enters the Gathering Spirit Realm!

The Food God Technique Scroll refers to the next cultivation realm after the Golden Core as Gathering Spirit.

In the Xuantian Star Realm, the realm after the Golden Core is the Nascent Soul.

Chen Xu wasn’t quite clear about the specific differences between Gathering Spirit and Nascent Soul.

But through recent cultivation, he had a very clear understanding of the direction of his future cultivation.

In his Dantian, there was a mysterious and vast seed of the Dharma Image gradually gestating in the void.

Now, its outline could be vaguely seen.

Like chaos, like an egg.

Within it seemed to be wind, fire, thunder, and lightning, interwoven and flickering.

The sound of the wind was faint, sometimes clear, sometimes obscure.

An unfathomable sea-like power lurked within, indescribable and immeasurable.

Even Chen Xu himself, when intuiting with his divine soul, occasionally felt a sense of terror when sensing the Golden Core.

He wondered what level his strength would ascend to when he truly broke through to the Golden Core Eighth Layer and successfully planted that Dharma Image seed?

And if this Dharma Image fully coalesced, breaking through from the Golden Core to Gathering Spirit, what changes would his cultivation undergo?

Chen Xu did not know yet.

But he always felt that a transformative qualitative change might occur among them.

Compared to transitioning from the Meridian Passage Realm to the Core Formation Realm, the change would undoubtedly be many times greater.

Chen Xu felt invigorated and pondered deeply the new "Divine Power" he gained from the "whisper in the wind."

In fact, it’s hard to directly call this ability "Divine Power."

Compared to specific Divine Powers like the Netherworld, Chen Xu preferred to call the new ability brought by the whisper in the wind "strengthening."

That’s right, it’s "strengthening."

Through this strengthening, Chen Xu’s physique was enhanced, and the range of his divine thought expanded.

Originally about 150 zhang, it now directly broke through to a radius of 300 zhang!

What does this mean?

Simply put, while Chen Xu was in the back mountain, he could now see the entire Xiaowan Village’s scenery in his divine thought if he wanted to.

Even across to the other side of the mountain, the village named Shangtang Village was within the scope of his divine thought exploration.

At the same time, the reception range for endorsements was also "enhanced" greatly.

Previously, he could only receive endorsements from within a single city, but now he could receive endorsements from an entire prefecture.

Just as the strengthening Divine Power took effect and the endorsement reception range expanded dramatically, the Food Cauldron Celestial Book beside Chen Xu flipped open, and scattered endorsement notifications began to appear.

[Endorsement +1+10+2+5+1+1...]

Most endorsements were only 1 point, with the highest not exceeding 10 points.

But when these endorsements poured in, Chen Xu was still surprised.

Individual endorsement numbers were small, which wasn’t an issue.

The point was, there were many people endorsing him!

He wondered who exactly was endorsing him in the middle of the night?

Now that he could receive endorsements from an entire prefecture, does that mean many sleepless people lived among the citizens of Yunjiang Prefecture?

Chen Xu found it interesting.

And so, in just a short moment, his total endorsement count increased by nearly 10,000 points.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the snow-like flying endorsement notifications gradually slowed down.

Chen Xu traced the source through the Food Cauldron Celestial Book, only then realizing that those who had endorsed him weren’t the citizens of Yunjiang Prefecture.

In fact, most of them were ghost spirits from the Netherworld!

The result left Chen Xu momentarily stunned, with a peculiar feeling arising from his heart.

It turned out that the sleepless ones weren’t the citizens of Yunjiang Prefecture but the ghost spirits residing there.

Ghost spirits not asleep, yet talking about Chen Xu.

What aspect of him were they discussing?

Was it the culinary marks he left while wandering the Netherworld Ghost Market, or...

Quickly, Chen Xu’s question was answered.

[You initiated the South-to-North Water Diversion, resolving the Northern Border drought, earning you fame in the Netherworld and receiving ghost spirits’ praise, and obtained mystical spiritual materials, three Yellow Springs Flowers.]

[Yellow Springs Flower: Each Yellow Springs Flower has different properties and must be soaked in Netherworld River water to activate its spirituality and acquire characteristics.

Note, the Netherworld River water does not allow living beings to cross, enter with caution.]

Chen Xu silently examined the three Yellow Springs Flowers automatically arranged in the Fire and Smoke Kitchen, feeling a subtle stir in his heart.
