Chen Xu strode out of Shengyu Square. That night, he had killed someone who deserved it, discussed the Dao with the Fox Demon, and accumulated quite a bit of Fireworks Value. Not bad! The mystical curtain of this world gradually peeled away layer by layer before him. In a few days, the experiences he gained were more abundant and interesting than those of the past ten years. Now Chen Xu only hoped that there would be no more disturbances in the Lin Family matters. After all, he was not some madman intent on exterminating a whole family. Just because he had a feud with Lin Qi didn’t mean he had to kill his entire family. After leaving Shengyu Square, Chen Xu watched for a moment at the bustling market in the night. Amidst the layers of lights and shadows of people, he could vaguely see the small Daoist Xuan Yi tugging at a donkey, stamping his feet in frustration. "Stupid donkey, you ruined me! Oh dear, that demonic aura is gone, and I can’t find the senior who used Innate Qi either. Yet, it’s just you, stupid donkey, sticking with me everywhere. What use are you to me?" Chen Xu turned around and silently pondered the phrase "Innate Qi" for a moment. From the little Daoist’s words, "Innate Qi" seemed to be Chen Xu strolled home in the night, while simultaneously connecting with the Mud Ball Daoist Soldier. After unleashing a blazing flame to kill the Evil Ghost, the Mud Ball Daoist Soldier did not leave immediately. Instead, it used the fierce flames to incinerate Lin Yuan’s corpse. This fire was not an ordinary mortal flame but was transformed from Chen Xu’s Innate Qi from afar. Although weakened from the distance, it swiftly reduced Lin Yuan’s corpse to ashes within a few moments. The night wind eventually blew the ashes into the nearby shrubs. The spot where Lin Yuan’s body had been was surprisingly untouched, not even a blade of grass was burned. This showcases the control of a Level 1 Perfection Fire Control Skill. Thanks to Lin Yuan having sent away the servants and guards earlier, it wasn’t until now that a voice arose in the distance in surprise: "Hey, is that a fire breaking out under the corridor over there?" "It seems like there’s a glow, let’s go over there quickly and take a look!" "Hey, no, we can’t. The young master instructed us earlier not to go over there until dawn." "It can’t be helped, the fire is already breaking out and we still don’t go... hey, where’s the fire?" The glow of the fire only flared in the sky for a moment before vanishing instantly, so quickly that people thought it was an illusion. The few people who noticed the fire glanced at each other, hesitating. The fire is already gone, so should we still go over? Among them, a voice chuckled and said in a low tone: "Hey, what fire? I didn’t see any fire, maybe you were just seeing things? Anyway, the young master told us not to go over there, so I’ll just listen to the young master’s orders. There’s no mistake in following the young master’s instructions." Exchanging glances, the few individuals suddenly understood. With certain things, it’s better not to act; doing more only invites more mistakes. While doing extra might earn rewards, it might also cost your life! That night, the Lin Mansion remained calm and silent until dawn. Chen Xu returned home and withdrew the Mud Ball Daoist Soldier. When the Daoist Soldier returned, its small form seemed inexplicably imbued with a divine aura and evil spirit. Chen Xu and the Daoist Soldier locked eyes, feeling a seamless control and command, yet the Daoist Soldier itself seemed to possess an extra spiritual nature, allowing Chen Xu to command it without expending much Heart Power, as it adeptly responded to commands on its own. This Daoist Soldier had grown! With Chen Xu’s current strength, although he could only control one Daoist Soldier for now, this Daoist Soldier surprisingly possessed the ability to grow on its own. This was yet another delightful discovery. Chen Xu retracted the Daoist Soldier back into the Fire and Smoke Kitchen and began pondering how to remedy the Daoist Soldier’s aversion to water. For the moment, he had no clear idea, so he kept this matter in mind. Chen Xu then consumed 100 points of Fireworks Value to enter the Fire and Smoke Kitchen; this time, he aimed to master Wind Summoning in one fell swoop! He called forth the Celestial Book Plate. [Accumulated Likes: 1067] [Free Attribute Points: 31] Official source ıs 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⁂𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱 [Fireworks Value: 548] [Cultivation: Meridian Passage Realm (Early Stage 1.4%)] It’s a pity that after the successful Three Elements Foundation Establishment, each additional Free Attribute Point required at least 20 likes. The Free Attribute Points he had accumulated prior to the breakthrough were somewhat insufficient. Currently, to increase his strength, Chen Xu had several avenues: one was to diligently cultivate the Food God Cultivation Technique Scroll, another was to create Spiritual Food to gain Cultivating Spiritual Mechanism, and the third was to add points. Of course, merely adding points could only enhance his physical base. To convert that base into actual strength, cultivation and comprehension were still needed. Chen Xu thought, he could treat adding points as taking an elixir. However, while ordinary people taking elixirs might face issues like pill poison or difficulties in precisely controlling Tri-Attribute growth, his point-adding allowed for meticulous control and everlasting confirmation, which was his greatest advantage! Accumulating Free Attribute Points still needed to continue; this not only served as an elixir during cultivation but also provided endurance boosts during combat. Multi-purpose, the more the better. [Consume 300 Fireworks Value to learn Wind Summoning.] [Wind Summoning Level 1 (0/100)] In the Fire and Smoke Kitchen, Chen Xu gradually immersed himself in learning Wind Summoning. "Yin and Yang give rise to each other, the flow of clarity and turbidity is called wind." Chen Xu discovered that learning Wind Summoning seemed much easier compared to learning Chopping Wood and Fire Control initially. No, perhaps it wasn’t that Wind Summoning was simpler. It was because Chen Xu had grown. His Divine Soul had enhanced, his thoughts became more agile, and after consuming the Lotus Wisdom Soup, he gained photographic memory. His comprehension had naturally grown invisibly. Chen Xu sat cross-legged in the Fire and Smoke Kitchen, yet it was as if he was walking with the wind in lush forests. Passing through bamboo formations, listening to the sound of pine waves. Experiencing gentle breezes, witnessing the raging storms... In the Dantian, the Innate Qi slowly ascended, flowing through the liver, rolling over the lungs, generating wind through wood. [Wind Summoning Level 1 (1/100)] [Wind Summoning Level 1 (3/100)] The next day, after waking up, Chen Xu’s spirit instead became more introverted. It was all because of the comprehension of Wind Summoning last night, making him gain deeper understanding of the trace of Innate Qi within his body. He realized that if he could hide wind, he could also hide Qi! With contained divinity, Chen Xu appeared more like a scholarly, weak scholar in ordinary people’s perception. His face as fair as jade, elegance in every gesture. Who would have thought that he had wielded a knife multiple times, chopping people like wood? As usual, Chen Xu simply prepared some morning food and asked Aunt Lai to help sell it. This wasn’t a long-term plan, but for now Chen Xu didn’t have the bandwidth to implement new methods, so he temporarily maintained the old way. Just waiting until today after "condoling" Lin Qi, he planned to return to his hometown. But Lin Yuan "disappeared", who knows what kind of bustle the Lin Family would have today? What Chen Xu didn’t know was that while the Lin Family remained calm for now, in Yunjiang Prefecture City, a conversation about him was stirring like a storm. Yunjiang Prefecture, Cui Clan. After returning home, Cui Yunqi remained unconscious for two days and finally awoke this morning.
