The Ghost King Yanling held the porridge bowl, his chest still trembling.
An indescribable sense of satisfaction prompted him to lift the bowl to his lips and down its contents in one gulp, despite his inability to speak eloquently.
At the same time, the Food Cauldron Celestial Book beside Chen Xu opened.
[You used food to stir emotions and expounded on the path, causing the Ghost King's heart to awaken. Overnight enlightenment, reward: Hundred Causes Fruit.]
[New spiritual material unlocked, reward Fireworks Value +300]
[Hundred Causes Fruit: When cooked with nine steams and nine dries, eating it allows one to trace the path of causality and lock onto an enemy, then cast a spell to slay them from afar.]
...
Initially, Chen Xu merely glanced at the entry for the Hundred Causes Fruit and paid it little mind at first.
It wasn't until his gaze lingered for a second time that Chen Xu was struck with an unusual sense of wonder and joy.
The Hundred Causes Fruit!
