Chen Xu didn't expect the Food Cauldron Celestial Book to open by itself again.

[You touched the demon's heart with spiritual words and spiritual food, enlightening the little demon, and obtained a drop of the spiritual material Demon Flowing Juice.]

[Reward Fireworks Value +100.]

Demon Flowing Juice again!

This was Chen Xu's second time obtaining Demon Flowing Juice, and it wasn't the end.

[You formed a good bond with the spiritual demon, winning the little demon's loyalty, and obtained the spiritual material Jade Leaf Knot.]

[Unlocking new spiritual material, reward Fireworks Value +300.]

[Jade Leaf Knot, a peculiar fruit found in the natural world, resembling twin jade leaves yet capable of forming a pair.

Separate this Jade Leaf Knot with a specific spiritual demon for a month, during which both parties interact daily, and after a month, the Jade Leaf Knot matures and can be steamed and cooked into a delicacy using secret techniques.

After both parties consume it, they can establish a crisis link, capable of mutual summoning within a range of three hundred miles.

If both parties' cultivation progresses, the summoning range might expand in the future.]

Jade Leaf Knot!

Upon the appearance of the new spiritual material, Chen Xu initially glanced at it with curiosity.

But upon a closer look the second time, Chen Xu abruptly realized the "mutual summoning" of the Jade Leaf Knot seemed extraordinarily magical and quite impactful.

On the surface, it appeared to be a protective feature for the stronger party over the weaker.

But upon reflection, it was clearly a crisis teleportation ability!

The most remarkable thing was the initial teleportation range of three hundred miles.

While Chen Xu possessed Netherworld's Unbreakable Divine Power, the longest distance using the Netherworld so far was twenty miles.

The mystical nature of the Jade Leaf Knot's "mutual summoning" was apparent.

Chen Xu thought, this ability might not be necessary for him to use. After all, he intended to keep the little porcupine by his side, making it unlikely for them to be three hundred miles apart.

But nothing is certain, who can be sure the Jade Leaf Knot won't be of great use in the future?

Chen Xu decided to take out the Jade Leaf Knot, split it in half, and hand one half to Wei Yuan.

Yet after gulping down the Jade Needle Grass soup, the little fellow suddenly started emitting heat all over.

It stood on the rock, swaying, and after a moment, it said, "Brother Chen, I feel warm and comfortable now, I can't help it, I want to sleep for a while."

Hey, with a sway, it fell asleep on the rock.

Chen Xu was speechless.

He then stored the Jade Leaf Knot again and took a cushion from his Profound Nether Ruins to move Wei Yuan onto it to sleep.

He also took a small blanket to cover the little porcupine's body, ensuring it wouldn't be discomforted by the mountain wind while sleeping.

The little porcupine fell asleep, and before long, it was snoring softly.

Chen Xu sat quietly beside it, watching the clouds and sunset in the sky.

Sometime, the sunset had completely hidden behind the clouds, leaving only vast evening clouds like a celestial palace on fire, scarlet, orange, light red, deep red...

Stacked and spread, they lingered in the sky, seeming to dye the whole world with boundless splendor.

His mood became extremely tranquil. With the little porcupine sleeping beside him, the Spirit Garden Pouch at his waist also held Little Mouse Ah Shi and Master Jiu within Ah Shi's belly still in slumber.

For some reason, having these little demons as companions made his heart even more peaceful.

It seemed the complexities of the mortal world ultimately weren't as serene as watching the evening clouds at this moment.

Today was May 15, and there was only a month and a half left until the autumn provincial examination.

The distance to Pingyang Prefecture was a thousand miles away, and if Chen Xu didn't utilize means like Netherworld's Unbreakable Divine Power or continuously Wind Control flying, then traveling at normal speed would take at least ten days.

He is contemplating whether to slow down or speed up to enter the city.

Sometimes Chen Xu also thinks, the fame and fortune of the mortal world are truly uninteresting, rather it's better to brew a pot of wine in the mountains and watch the clouds once.

But having entered the world not for long, suddenly leaving it isn't the long-term path of cultivation.

His goal is always firm, at least this time, he must achieve the top scholar title.

Otherwise, how would the blood of the Top Scholar Deer Cry come?

Chen Xu's random thoughts wandered for a while, but the Innate Qi in his Dantian remained leisurely, unconsciously circulating around, advancing his cultivation slightly.

[Cultivation: Late Stage Meridian Passage Realm 73.5%]

From just now at seventy-two percent, it directly jumped to seventy-three point five.

This might also be a variation of "thick accumulation leading to thin release."

Overall, although Chen Xu's cultivation time isn't long, his continual enhancement of the Tri-Attribute in the Fire and Smoke Kitchen has given him solid foundational roots.

Conversely, his cultivation speed can't keep up with these foundational attributes.

As a result, whenever he has minor insights, his cultivation can leap forward.

Looking at the current likes data:

[Accumulated Likes: 45627]

[Free Attribute Points: 89]

Indeed, since leaving the Ghost Market on the first day of May, over the past ten days, Chen Xu's total likes have increased by over eight thousand points.

This data growth is truly not slow, especially considering that during this time, Chen Xu was mostly focused on studying with little external management.

This growth in likes is largely thanks to the few restaurants of Cui Yunqi and Ning Xing using Moonlight Frost as seasoning.

This serves as a stable source of likes, more enduring compared to the transmission of the "Artificial Beast" stories.

Not that "Artificial Beast" stories aren't spreading, but it's still the issue, the spread within Yunjiang City is limited, and outside of Yunjiang City, Chen Xu currently can't receive it.

He speculates that maybe when his cultivation progresses to the Core Formation Realm, this reception range can expand dramatically?

Additionally, another problem is that now Chen Xu has left Yunjiang City, the likes that were previously received daily within the city range are gradually decreasing.

After traveling a bit further, those likes that were guaranteed each day might reduce until they vanish.

Thus, Chen Xu will need to open up new paths for gaining likes.

Tonight's Ghost Market could be a good opportunity.

Additionally, the mountain's many demons might also bring a considerable amount of likes for Chen Xu.

Chen Xu thought of the mountain's many demons because, following the Puppet Daoist Soldier and little monkey into the depths of the forest, they gradually passed through an orchard, suddenly arriving at an open area.

It was the gathering place of the group of monkeys.

Upon seeing the little monkey, the monkeys all spoke in human words: "Little Twelve, you are back! Why did you run away? You said you smelled something fragrant, what fragrance did you smell?"
