In the Fire and Smoke Kitchen, Chen Xu's face lit up with joy.

The first piece of Literary Dao Spiritual Food was successfully created!

He heard the resounding clang of a weapon being drawn from the armory of his Sea of Literature.

In the next instant, the Wu Hook in the Sea of Literature suddenly flashed, leaping out on its own and then, like a bolt of lightning, it struck the floating page of the Poetry Scroll in front of him.

Tear—

The sound of ripping fabric echoed.

But what was miraculous was that the page of the Poetry Scroll struck by the Wu Hook did not split in two with the sound but instead, the Wu Hook in Chen Xu's Sea of Literature passed through it as if slicing through air.

At the same time, the floating Poetry Scroll seemed to be alive. It curled up like a piece of silk floating above flames.

It folded and shifted with the fluidity of clouds and water, and in an instant before Chen Xu's eyes, it transformed into a yellow-tinged Wu Hook!

Chen Xu extended his hand, and this slightly yellowed Wu Hook naturally fell into his hand.

Above, there appeared an entry:

[Crispy Roasted Wu Hook, Literary Dao Spiritual Food. Crisp and fragrant taste with a savory and delicious flavor, consuming it can help purify a scholar's Literary Qi, with a very slight chance of triggering an epiphany effect.

There is a certain possibility of enhancing Literary Dao inspiration in a short time. For those well-versed in the "Knight's Journey" poetry, consuming it can accelerate the solidification progress of the Wu Hook Poetry Spirit.

Can be thrown as a weapon, destroyed in a single use, possessing forty percent of the original creator's destructive power.]

The entry was indeed lengthy, and after reading each word carefully, all the feelings of excitement Chen Xu had been brewing turned into sheer delight.

He couldn't help but laugh loudly, caressing the Crispy Roasted Wu Hook before taking a bite out of it.

It was indeed crunchy, with a fragrant and savory flavor, crunching with every bite, truly delicious!

It was worth the nearly six hours of hard work he had just put in; his effort hadn't gone to waste.

Chen Xu found it extremely amusing; he never imagined that Literary Dao Spiritual Food would have such an effect and be eaten in this way.

Speaking of which, he didn't actually eat much of the spiritual food he made himself.

Apart from those with special effects, like Lotus Wisdom Soup, Primordial Qi Jade Dew, Flowing Clouds Spirit Wine, Forgetful Thousand Threads Soup, Three Taels of Red Dust, and the like, Chen Xu rarely consumed ordinary spiritual foods that simply boosted Qi Blood.

But now, carefully eating this Wu Hook and savoring its taste, a peculiar emotion suddenly emerged in Chen Xu's heart.

Perhaps he should consume more of the spiritual food he made himself.

The sense of reward from enjoying a hearty meal after hard work should also be a part of cultivation, not lacking in this experience.

As the Crispy Roasted Wu Hook was ingested, Chen Xu keenly realized that the faintly rippling Literary Qi in his Ink Pool was indeed silently being refined.

The Literary Qi seemed purer, its color shifting from the original light blue towards sky blue.

It felt like the flow of mist gathering into clouds.

Through his studies over these days, Chen Xu had already understood that if the Literary Qi gathered clouds to produce rain, and the rain fell as liquid, it would mark the status of an Advanced Scholar!

He hadn't even passed the Scholar exam, yet the Literary Qi in his Ink Pool already showed signs of gathering clouds like a cascading mist.

Moreover, the total Literary Qi exceeded the level of the Ink Pool's gauge and continued to grow slowly yet steadily.

This was undoubtedly related to the appearance of the Great Li's Splendor Record.

The Great Li's Splendor Record facilitated the spread of Chen Xu's literary name and poems. Although he resided in a small remote city, it seemed as if he had seen the entire world.

He saw the world, and the people of the world saw him.

However, a list, the general public always focuses on the top three, even the first and foremost.

Ranking thirty-first on the Profound List was indeed too low.

Chen Xu was not anxious, but his spirit of striving would not cease.

After finishing the Crispy Roasted Wu Hook, he summoned back the Poetry Spirit Wu Hook hovering beside him and found it nearly tangible.

It felt heavy in his hand, the frost-edged blade bright and pure, like autumn waters.

Chen Xu practiced the Firewood Splitting Knife Technique casually in midair, instantly producing a resonant sound as if the air was being sliced, the bright edge reflecting in his eyes a glint of knife light.

Chen Xu laughed heartily, feeling refreshed and clear-headed.

He knew not when the Heroic Poet Spirit of the Knight's Journey would condense, but this Wu Hook was indeed a treasure.

He had a clear sense that consuming more Crispy Roasted Wu Hook would certainly further enhance the power of the Poetry Spirit Wu Hook.

But for a period thereafter, Chen Xu did not make any more Crispy Roasted Wu Hook.

Instead, he used the Wu Hook in his hand as a knife and went into the Firewood House to practice the Firewood Splitting Knife Technique.

Even now, with mastery of magic, Chen Xu never abandoned the practice of the Firewood Splitting Knife Technique.

Although he rarely engaged in close combat, he hoped that when forced to fight up close, his abilities could surpass long-range combat!

[Chopping Wood Level 2: (989/1000)]

Perhaps due to the extraordinary spirituality of the Wu Hook in his hand, Chen Xu gained new insights during today's chopping practice.

The experience in chopping wood, which had been stagnant for a while, suddenly increased by over ten points.

Knife strikes like thunder and lightning, blade returns like an antelope's horn.

Precise, fierce, cold, violent.

Thrilling!

[Chopping Wood Level 2: (993/1000)]

The experience for Chopping Wood Level 2 was nearing perfection.

That night, after practicing with the knife, Chen Xu practiced the Stove Fire Body Protection Technique.

He aimed first to form the Fire Armor Body, initially achieving a protective effect against weapons.

Occasionally, he also took time to glance at the Six Paths of Celestial Desolation Divine Power.

However, the awakening speed of this divine power was too slow, seemingly more difficult to awaken than the Netherworld's Unbreakable Divine Power initially had been—

Of course, it might also be the lack of an opportunity.

Thus, Chen Xu still lacked understanding of what the Six Paths of Celestial Desolation truly were.

This late night, Chen Xu frequently entered and exited the Fire and Smoke Kitchen.

He wanted to unlock Fire Control Level 3, but after spending 10,000 Fireworks Value to unlock the Literary Dao Spiritual Food, he was left with only a little over a thousand points.

Coupled with multiple entries into the Fire and Smoke Kitchen afterward, when he saw that unlocking Fire Control Level 3 required 3,000 Fireworks Value, Chen Xu found himself embarrassingly short!

[Fireworks Value: 359]

Chen Xu laughed at his own poverty.

After extensive cultivation, his mental state finally reached its limit, such that even the continuous addition of the Tri-Attribute of Essence, Qi, and Spirit couldn't sustain him.

Ultimately, Chen Xu gave up this intensive form of cultivation, collapsing onto his bed when the distant crowing of a rooster reached him.

Regardless of whether dawn was breaking or not, he just wanted a good sleep.

The Spirit Garden Pouch with Little Mouse Ashi inside was placed beside his pillow, with the blanket covering half of it.

Ashi always muttered in his sleep: "Delicious, want to eat..."

The little one's dreams were truly fragrant.

With a faint smile, Chen Xu gently stroked the Spirit Garden Pouch, lay back on the bed, and then held his Dantian, sleeping just at the right time.

In Yunjiang City, amid the crisscrossing lanes, a rooster's crow rang out from an unknown household.

Cock-a-doodle-doo—

The resounding crow summoned a blazing sun that burst forth from behind the clouds.

The busy city, whether spirited or hustling, all greeted the morning sun at this time.

Meanwhile, over sixty miles from Yunjiang City, in Zhuxi County, a unique figure was approaching.
