Chen Xu paused for a moment.

A new prompt from the Food Cauldron Celestial Book appeared.

He couldn't help but turn around to take another look at the village below. At that moment, he saw the raging flames in the village were completely extinguished.

All the previous clamor in the village had vanished, leaving only a single drop of [Corpse Demon Dew] captured by the Food Cauldron Celestial Book.

[Corpse Demon Dew, formed from the resentment and curses of ancient corpses gathering over the years at the bottom of the Broken Jade River, is indeed the essence of Water Attribute Demon Qi.

As the saying goes, extremity begets transformation, and utmost evil births celestial; Corpse Demon Dew can be used for celestial purposes.

By seeking last year's snow, noon water, and volcanic spring to gather and refine, a Water Spirit Crystal can be obtained, which, when consumed, can greatly enhance water-attribute magic comprehension.]

Seeing the explanation of the Corpse Demon Dew entry, Chen Xu was slightly shocked.

The most critical part of this entry was the last sentence: [greatly enhance water-attribute magic comprehension.]

It's important to know that regarding [comprehension] matters, the prompts from Chen Xu's Celestial Book entry ability have always been very restrained.

Items like the [Lotus Wisdom Soup] he consumed, or the [Three Taels of Red Dust], although they seemed to have the effect of enhancing comprehension, the entries for these kinds of spiritual food have always been vague.

The language used was always something like "slightly increases spiritual wisdom" or "can help solve difficulties and gain spiritual light at critical moments," etc.

In general, these spiritual foods, even if they could increase comprehension, would only do so to a minuscule extent.

Or they had a time limit, losing their spiritual light once the time passed.

Unlike this [Water Spirit Crystal], the entry specifically indicated consuming it could [greatly enhance water-attribute magic comprehension.]

The total number of spells Chen Xu knew wasn't small, but the ones he mastered the best were Fire Control first, and Wind Summoning second.

Fire Control has now broken through to Level 3, able to grasp a bit of Karmic Fire power, making it hard for evil demons to escape with the Karmic Fire present.

This was the reason why he was able to easily burn the Immortal Witch's True Spirit earlier.

If Chen Xu hadn't been able to break through to Level 3 in Fire Control Skill and couldn't grasp that sliver of Karmic Fire power, relying solely on his Level 2 Spiritual Fire, he likely wouldn't have been able to burn the True Spirit of the Immortal Witch.

As for Wind Summoning, Chen Xu's current experience was [Level 2 (532/1000)].

It was only Water Drawing Technique that, although Chen Xu had broken through to Level 2, his experience was growing slowly.

[Water Drawing Level 2 (135/1000)]

At this rate, breaking through to Level 3 in Water Drawing would clearly take a long time.

But if he could refine a Water Spirit Crystal, everything would naturally be different.

However, the auxiliary materials for refining a Water Spirit Crystal were somewhat hard to find, like last year's snow, noon water, and volcanic spring...

Last year's snow would still be manageable, perhaps from a snow-capped mountain.

Noon water should be the pure yang water falling on the Dragon Boat Festival at noon.

Not to mention how hard it is to have rain on this day, but even if one could luckily encounter rain on the Dragon Boat Festival, this year's festival had already passed.

Would he have to wait until the next Dragon Boat Festival to obtain noon water?

The last item, volcanic spring, is the spring water inside a volcano—

This would also be difficult to find, so much so that Chen Xu began to doubt whether he might rely on years of dedicated cultivation to raise his Water Drawing Technique to Level 3 before finding the volcanic spring?

It seemed highly possible.

This led Chen Xu to begin understanding the new characteristics of spiritual materials from another perspective.

He discovered that recently some of the spiritual materials he unlocked started having various utilization prerequisites.

Not only were the characteristics of spiritual materials becoming more diverse, but auxiliary materials were beginning to have unique traits.

Apart from the challenging utilization of [Corpse Demon Dew], like the earlier Karma Fire Ash left by the Immortal Witch.

To use this Karma Fire Ash, the required auxiliary materials were [Midnight Rootless Water, Tears of the Sea of Literature and Ink Pool, Lu Ming Top Scholar's Blood].

Midnight Rootless Water isn't hard to come by.

So-called rootless water is essentially rainwater from the sky, with Midnight Rootless Water just adding the precondition of "midnight rainfall."

Tears of the Sea of Literature and Ink Pool were a bit mysterious.

The only thing Chen Xu could think of was one day being moved to great emotion, causing tears to form in the Ink Pool—

Otherwise, where was he meant to find the Tears of the Sea of Literature and Ink Pool?

He certainly couldn't find a Confucian master and beat them until the Ink Pool shed tears, could he?

Hmm...

This seemed, not impossible?

Ahem, Chen Xu quickly stopped his ridiculous thought.

No grudges or grievances, it's not right to do so.

As for the last one, Lu Ming Top Scholar's Blood, that actually was the easiest to obtain.

It simply required participating in an exam, earning the title of Top Scholar, and then drawing a few drops of blood at the Lu Ming Banquet.

Then, using this to refine the Karma Fire Ash into the Dragon Soaring Pill!

As Chen Xu lit the red mud small stove, his previous complex emotions were considerably lightened.

He turned his palm to take out a small blade of jade-green grass, kneading it in his hand using the Spirit Roasting Eight Techniques for a moment. Then, as the water in the urn boiled and a mysterious vortex appeared in the center, he swiftly dropped the jade-green grass into it.

Sitting on a stone, Wei Yuan couldn't help but exclaim, "Jade Needle Grass!"

Chen Xu smiled slightly and said, "Indeed, it's Jade Needle Grass, originally found by you to heal my injuries, but in fact, I wasn't injured before, and I don't have any other healing items on hand now.

This Jade Needle Grass will still be used to heal Mr. Wei.

Ah Yuan, shouldn't you be grateful to your previous self?"

Wei Yuan blinked, not expecting Mr. Chen to speak with a touch of mirth, momentarily at a loss for how to respond.

A tinge of embarrassment crept up on the little hedgehog's face.

Wei Yuan sat upright, his heart warm.

He then heard Chen Xu say, "Ah Yuan, I also have to thank you. Thank you for saving me, and for saving yourself.

Though the world is full of evil causes and evil effects, you have planted a seed of goodness with me, which has borne good fruit.

You've shown me that, no matter the filth in this world, there are beings as pure and beautiful as you.

You've kept me from letting the world's evil thoughts consume my heart.

Ah Yuan, seeing you is like seeing the clear wind and bright moon."

Wei Yuan sat there with wide eyes and reddened cheeks, completely entranced and absorbed by what he heard.

He stammered, having thousands of words to say in response to Chen Xu, yet somehow found himself unable to articulate even a single one.

"Mr. Chen... I-I-I-I..."

He wanted to say that he wasn't nearly as great, and also that Chen Xu's words were so moving, suggesting Chen Xu was truly the clear wind and bright moon.

No, Chen Xu was the clear wind and bright moon, though not because he spoke beautifully.
