The original repairer

Chapter 192 Consultation with the Military Commander

"You are here. You should be the fifth-grade alchemist that Huang Qi mentioned. We have some connection. The recipes for elixirs after the foundation-building stage are almost all from Dongzhizhou, right? Don't you think so, Shi Chen?" Peng Xuanbo said, looking at Shi Chen. After the brief contact just now and Huang Qi's reaction, combined with the information from his subordinates, he guessed Shi Chen's identity.

"That's right," Shi Chen admitted, removing his physical form and returning to his original form. "I also have to thank General Peng for his open-minded military system, which freed me from the sect's restrictions on elixirs. But let's be clear, my elixir formula was brought to Dongzhizhou because of my military merit. The General should also understand my contribution to Dongzhizhou. I don't owe him anything!"

"I am very pleased with your contribution to Dongzhizhou, but unfortunately there are not many cultivators like you. Now that you have reached the Perfect Nascent Soul stage, the next step is to advance to the Divine Transformation stage. Perhaps you lack the Divine Forging Pill to advance, right?

When I left Dongzhizhou, the battle line hadn't collapsed yet. I've copied all the recipes for elixirs from the Qi Refining Stage to the Fusion Stage, and I also have backups of other spells and techniques. I have everything you need. I wonder if this will allow you to join our forces?" Peng Xuanbo spoke eloquently, still trying to recruit Shi Chen.

"You also know that I don't want to be controlled. Out of my promise to my friend, I just want to do my best to help." Shi Chen said.

"Don't you want the human race to take back the Dayu Continent and drive the sea monsters back to the Monster Sea?" Peng Xuanbo asked righteously.

"The military commander may have misunderstood. This is a matter of justice for the human race. I also want to contribute my ideas and efforts, but my cultivation is too low to be able to shoulder such an important task. I hope the military commander can understand. However, I, Shi Chen, am still willing to contribute to the best of my ability." Shi Chen said.

"In that case, Master Shi can serve as our guest alchemist and cooperate with us. What do you think of this?" Peng Xuanbo lowered his requirements and said.

"I am entangled in the secular world and I am afraid I cannot stay for long. It is difficult for me to meet the expectations of the military leader." Shi Chen declined.

"I don't want to keep you here. I just hope that Master Shi can make some pills for us in his spare time. We will provide all the recipes and medicines. I hope that Master can agree to our request for the sake of our righteousness for the human race." Peng Xuanbo said, standing up and bowing to Shi Chen.

Shi Chen quickly stepped aside and said, "Master, this is not possible. We can discuss the matter of refining the elixir. I cannot bear this kind of respect."

"Master Shi, please speak!" Peng Xuanbo said sincerely.

"The military commander also knows that a force needs a wide variety of elixirs, and it is not possible for a single alchemist like me to supply them all. Besides, I have other things to do and cannot stay here for long." Shi Chen said sincerely.

"I have just promised that you can practice a series of pill recipes as long as you don't pass them on to others easily. I believe in your character." Peng Xuanbo said with a smile.

"Since the military lord is so kind, I will put myself in his shoes and hope that the human race can drive out the sea monsters and return my continent to me. I will practice the alchemy recipes here for three months, and the military lord can provide ten elixirs every day, including elixirs below the level of the Spirit Transformation Realm. After three months, the military lord will send me to the territory of Qingxuan Sect and leave a secret seal for us to contact each other. If I were on the Yuanling Continent, I could help refine 500 elixirs every season for free, without charging a penny. The time limit is one year, and it can be regarded as my support for the military lord's righteousness." Shi Chen said after considering it.

"Okay, thank you Master, with this, we are halfway to accomplishing our goal. It's a pity that I was framed by the villain and lost my cultivation. Otherwise, I would be able to show myself in the open within ten years, and counterattack the Dayu Continent after thirty years." Peng Xuanbo said happily, but then he became worried.

"I wonder who killed the military commander?" Shi Chen asked curiously.

"Hmph!" Peng Xuanbo said angrily, "It was all because of that villain Li Tianfeng. He colluded with the sea monster and caused me to be seriously injured by the sea monster. Then he pretended to rescue me, but poisoned me and destroyed my spiritual roots. Now I have lost all my cultivation. If you meet Li Tianfeng, be careful."

Shi Chen frowned and was speechless. There were traitors on Earth, and there were also traitors in the world of cultivation.

"Is there any way to remove the poison that the military commander has been poisoned with?" Shi Chen asked curiously.

"I was poisoned by the Lifu poison. Alas!" Peng Xuanbo sighed.

This poison targets spiritual roots, possessing the ability to obscure and seal them. Those deeply poisoned, like mortals without spiritual roots, will also lose their cultivation due to the lack of visible spiritual roots. This poison, suffused with resentment, is difficult to administer silently.

As an alchemist, he is well versed in the properties of medicines, poisons, and methods of detoxification.

Shi Chen had a magical medicine that could counteract this poison, purple sorghum. If it were refined into a pill, the effect would be even better, but he only had the main ingredient, and lacked the auxiliary ingredients to make it into a pill.

"Star fish root, Zhijie fruit, Tianyin leaf, Lei Diao bone, and water chestnut juice. Can the military commander provide these elixirs?" Shi Chen looked at Peng Xuanbo and asked.

"You... you have purple sorghum?" Peng Xuanbo said excitedly, "I've been searching for over ten years. I've even sent people to every troubled spot in the cultivation world, but I can't find a single one. If you do, I'll have someone prepare it right away. When will Master start refining the elixir?"

Peng Xuanbo had a deep understanding of the poison of Lifu, and its antidote was even more profound.

"Before refining, you need to find a place where lightning strikes. The final result of refining this pill requires the power of thunder. If you can't find it, you can only set up a five-thunder formation to obtain thunder. However, the thunder of the formation is only half as effective as natural thunder. You need to prepare ten auxiliary medicines for the Purple Thunder Elimination Pill." Shi Chen stated his requirements.

"Okay, let's wait until we reach the next fairy city and send off the passengers, then we will go to the minefield. We will arrive within a month." Peng Xuanbo said excitedly.

The Purple Thunder Eliminating Evil Pill is not difficult to refine, but the main ingredient, Purple Lobelia, is hard to find. The final step of inducing thunder to form the pill also depends on the alchemist's technique. It is easy to be hit by thunder and fail in refining.

Three months passed quickly. When Shi Chen left the flying boat, Peng Xuanbo stopped practicing and came out to see Shi Chen off in person.

A month ago, after refining the Purple Thunder Eliminating Pill, Peng Xuanbo eliminated the evil poison in his body in three days. However, his cultivation had been lost, and it would take one or two years to recover.

Watching the flying boat go away, Shi Chen stood ten miles away from Qingxuan Sect's Xiongguan Fairy City. He wanted to find Huang Ziying first, explain Huang Qi's situation clearly, and see what she would choose, whether to continue staying in the Huang family of Qingxuan Sect or to follow Huang Qi.

After changing his shape easily, Shi Chen entered Xiongguan Immortal City and came to the teleportation array, waiting to be teleported to the immortal city closest to Qingxuan Sect.

Five days later, Shi Chen met Huang Ziying at the Immortal Inn in the outer market of Qingxuan Sect.

At this time, Huang Ziying's face was covered with a thick haze, her brows were furrowed, and her eyes revealed endless worry.

Shi Chen told Huang Qi's story one by one, explaining Huang Qi's choice and her third uncle's choice.

Looking at Huang Ziying's body trembling slightly, her hands subconsciously clenched, as if she wanted to grab something but was unable to do so.

"Huang Qi has his own ambitions. You have depended on each other since childhood, and you should know him best. Your third uncle also chose to follow him in order to help him. I guess that the Huang family is now headed by your uncle. I wonder what choice you will make? In any case, I will do my best to help you." Shi Chen said slowly and softly.

Huang Ziying raised her head and looked at Shi Chen.

Her eyes were filled with tears and bloodshot were clearly visible. She suddenly threw herself into Shi Chen's arms and started crying.
