The original repairer

Chapter 165 Guardian Elixir

Shi Chen rushed out of the center of the ink vortex and looked at the cave entrance that had disappeared with lingering fear. Fortunately, he was almost sucked in by the ink vortex again.

He controlled the shuttle and left here quickly. Below him was the center of the Ink Vortex, which was pierced by the thunder. Although the Hunyuan Formation automatically repaired the entrance, the formation was not yet fully operational, and the no-fly effect and boundless pressure could not be manifested.

Maybe it will recover completely in a moment, but this time is enough for Shi Chen to escape from the center of the ink vortex.

"Now that the pressure has disappeared and the ink vortex has stopped rotating, you must immediately enter the center of the ink vortex to investigate the situation." The Sea Monster Emperor gave the order to the communication talisman.

A hundred miles away from the center of the Ink Vortex, the twelve human cultivators in the fusion stage could only obey orders and enter the center of the Ink Vortex. They knew that the chance of death was very high if they went in, but if they did not go in, facing the Sea Monster Emperor, there was only the word death.

The twelve combined monks gathered together and controlled a flying boat, flying towards the center of the black vortex. They were fully alert and sensed all directions.

Three quarters of an hour later, they had entered the very center of the Ink Vortex and found nothing unusual. If there was anything unusual, it was that the Ink Vortex had stopped rotating, and the effects of banning air, banning gods, and coercion were not obvious.

The center of the vortex was still pitch black. After searching for a quarter of an hour, the twelve people sent a message to the Sea Monster King. Before they could receive the next order from the Sea Monster King, the center of the black vortex began to slowly rotate, and they were also under boundless pressure. The flying boat fell directly towards the center of the black vortex.

They only had time to send a message before the twelve combined monks, along with their flying boat, were sucked into the heart of the ink vortex and instantly sank into the dark sea, disappearing without a trace.

While still thinking about how to issue the search order next, the Sea Monster King received the message and became angry.

"Waste, all of you are a bunch of waste!" roared the Sea Monster King.

Yao looked at the direction of the center of the black vortex, thought again and again, did not dare to step into the range of the black vortex, and finally had to leave in disappointment.

After rushing out of the range of the black vortex, Shi Chen steered the flying boat to stop fifty feet outside the range of the black vortex, activated his spiritual power, and threw out the Condensed Water Jade Gold Tower.

The small tower emitting precious light grew bigger in the wind, and in a moment it landed on the turbulent sea surface, having become a three-story divine tower three meters wide and ten meters high.

The divine tower floated on the sea, calming the sea water within a hundred feet around it. The surging sea water was as calm as a mirror within a hundred feet of the divine tower, dark blue and green.

"Senior Qian, now that you have escaped from the Hunyuan Formation, I wonder where you will go next?" Shi Chen said to Qian Xue who appeared in front of the divine tower.

"This domain has changed drastically and separated from the big world to form a small world of its own. If you want to break out of the world and go to the big world, in this interface with incomplete Tao rhyme, your cultivation level must be at least the Void Realm. Moreover, breaking through the world and traveling through it is full of dangers. It is difficult to reach the upper world without the guidance of immortals from the upper world. I am only a true spirit now. The body of a true spirit has no progress in cultivation, and my cultivation level can only decline. In the end, I will die and my Tao will be destroyed. Only resurrection and re-cultivation can solve this problem. Now there is nowhere to go. The next step is to find an opportunity to resurrect and re-cultivate." Qian Xue said.

"Senior, you have been resurrected and are cultivating again. What do you need from me?" Shi Chen asked.

"Resurrection and cultivation again depend on good fortune and destiny. Deliberate arrangement may backfire. With your current level of cultivation, you can't figure out where I will be reborn. But thank you very much for saving me. You and I are connected by cause and effect, and we will meet again one day." Qian Xue said.

"In that case, would you be willing to follow me to the Yuanling Continent first, and then go find your own chance of resurrection?" Shi Chen said.

"That's fine. We'll separate after we get ashore. You can keep this magic weapon of Fellow Daoist Lu first, and return it to him if there's a chance. Within three hundred years, if you can cultivate to the perfection of fusion, I still hope you can go to the Hunyuan Formation and rescue my fellow Daoists. If they don't want to be involved with you, they will find a way to end their relationship with you after you rescue them." Qian Xue said.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior. Once my cultivation reaches the perfect state of fusion, I will enter the formation again to rescue all of you seniors." Shi Chen bowed.

"Let's go." Qian Xue said, and got into Shi Chen's flying boat.

After putting away the divine tower, Shi Chen aimed in the right direction and piloted the flying boat towards the Yuanling Continent.

"Sister, three months have passed and I still can't learn how to refine weapons. It's so difficult." Xu Qianying complained.

"It is indeed difficult to get started with refining equipment, but your refining materials can be used repeatedly, so the consumption is relatively small. Although I have already gotten started with talismans, the materials I consume are five times more than yours. Don't complain." Liang Ruyan said angrily.

"Alas, I really don't know how my husband managed to get through the initial stages of learning alchemy. Alchemy is the most difficult of all arts. If there's even the slightest mistake, the elixir will become waste. I also studied alchemy for a while before, but in the end, the cost of learning was too high, so I didn't continue."

"You! If you know the hardships of the Hundred Arts, you must study hard. Cultivation begins with Dharma, and wealth comes first. The so-called Dharma, wealth, companions, and land are mortal terms. Only when you embark on cultivation will you know that wealth comes first, and Dharma comes second. When you were in the Qingxuan Sect, you also knew some rumors about your husband. Your husband started as a mortal with mixed spiritual roots. It was not easy to find Dharma affinity. Then he struggled to survive in the sect, from a mere spiritual farmer to an alchemist. The hardships in between can only be understood through experience. We have now reached the Golden Core stage. For learning the basics of the Hundred Arts, it is just a small exchange of resources. If you really don't have talent, then you can choose other skills."

"Okay, I'm still more interested in refining equipment. After I come back from hunting for resources this time, I will definitely be able to get started with refining equipment and not burden my sister." Xu Qianying encouraged.

"This time we are going to the vicinity of Qingming Mountain, where there are many demonic beasts. We will try to hunt as many demonic beasts as possible and find spiritual objects to exchange for cultivation resources for the next one or two years."

"I listened to my sister. I really hope my husband can return safely. I miss him." Xu Qianying said a little sadly.

Listening to Xu Qianying's words, Liang Ruyan steered the flying boat with a variety of thoughts, some sweet, some sad, but in the end, she was determined to cover up other thoughts.

As they flew along, the monsters and cultivators from the Qi Refining Stage to the Foundation Establishment Stage, sensing the might of the Golden Core cultivator, all dodged him one by one.

A month later, the two came to the outskirts of Qingming Mountain. Some of the monsters that roamed here had already reached the Nascent Soul stage.

The two were very careful. When searching for spiritual objects and elixirs, they paid attention to the monsters that appeared nearby. They would hunt down any monsters whose cultivation level was below the middle stage of the Golden Core.

Spiritual objects are hard to find, but in two months, I found quite a few spiritual medicines, both second- and third-level, and also discovered a secret cave in the mountain.

The mountain is about a hundred feet in radius, with a cave entrance on the top that is only about ten feet wide. The entrance is covered with vines, and only half an hour of sunlight shines through at noon every day. A little sunlight leaks through the gaps in the vines.

The stalactite in the gorge dripped down with the mountain water and gathered in a depression in the cave. In the depression was growing a fourth-level spiritual medicine, the seven-leaf rainbow arrowroot.

The seventh leaf has already grown and it will mature in about a month.

This elixir is the main auxiliary ingredient of the God-casting Pill for the advancement of the Nascent Soul to the God Transformation stage, and is worth tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones.

The two of them stayed in the cave, guarding it until the spiritual medicine matured. In addition, they had hunted many monsters in the past two months and collected many second- and third-level spiritual medicines. When they returned to the Poison Pond Fairy City to sell them, they would earn at least 30,000 low-grade spirit stones.

If you practice sparingly, you can practice for one or two years.
