Chapter 306 I, Xia Chen, Never Keep Idle Elves (52k)
Chapter 306 I, Xia Chen, never raise idle elves (5.2k)
Although it was a short stay, Xia Chen still rented a small villa in the upper-class area of Boping City to renovate.
There is no way, there are more and more elves in the team, each elf needs his own private space, and the place to live is not big enough.
Regarding this, Tan Xiaoshi is very satisfied.
In addition to the fact that he really needs his own private space, and this also shows one thing-
Xia Chen would not be like the mainstream thinking of most trainers in the world, who believed that elves were his possessions and that the relationship between the two was master and servant.
This way of getting along is more like a relationship between friends or family, which makes Tan Xiaoshi not regret her choice.
At least not yet.
In the past few days, he basically stayed in his room thinking about the foundation-building medicinal bath.
The problem of prescriptions has been properly solved. How to turn theory into practice is what Tan Xiaoshi needs to solve urgently.
He looked down at his hands and feet and sighed. It was really inconvenient for him to do things with his short hands and legs.
At present, there is no solution, either to evolve quickly.
Whether it is the Red Lotus Armored Cavalry or the Blue Flame Blade Demon, both elves are similar in size to humans, so it will be much easier to make medicine.
Or just learn some superpowers or something like that, relying on your own strong soul, or according to the world, it should be mental power, it shouldn't be difficult.
It's not that there were no similar fighting skills in that world. Sword-controlling skills and the like were similar variations, but that required fighting spirit, which was the energy support of this world.
Amateur-level strength. Being able to lift a few kilograms is the limit.
At present, it is more reliable to learn superpowers.
It seems that Gardevoir and Xia Chen both have super powers. I will find an opportunity to ask them to give it a try.
Tan Xiaoshi didn't let go of his current figure just because of his achievements in that world.
It is one thing for a hero not to mention his former courage. "The master is a teacher" is also a belief that he has always respected.
A true master always has the heart of a disciple.
…………
Dong Dong——
While the waiter Tan was thinking, the door of the room suddenly sounded.
"Click——(Please come in.)"
Tan Xiaoshi didn't pack anything and replied casually.
The person who knocked on the door was probably Xia Chen again. In the past few days, he had been coming over every once in a while to ask whether he "had anything he needed."
He was asked to help buy these fruits and medicinal materials, and Tan Xiaoshi did not want to hide his medicine refining from Xia Chen and other elves.
Who doesn’t have some quirky hobbies?
Xia Chen is a very open-minded trainer. When he saw himself refining medicine for the first time, not only did he not show any doubts or weird expressions, but he looked like "this is just right."
This would put the waiter Tan out of trouble.
But it would be better if there were no extraneous things. Currently, his strength is limited, and he cannot create too many shocking things.
When Xia Chen and the other elves become stronger and more able to withstand it, I will show them some small shocks from another world.
Just as he was wandering away, the door of the room was pushed open.
"Hey~ (Hello~)"
The strange voice made Tan Xiaoshi turn around in surprise, but the person he saw was not Xia Chen, but a little golden man with a sunny and cheerful smile on his face.
Tan Xiaoshi was impressed by this elf that he had never seen before.
Saifuhao, the evolved form of Suo Cailing, is a new elf that Xia Chen just researched this year.
There is currently only one in the world.
Although it is very special, it can only be called ordinary in Xia Chen's team.
The world's first fairy Eevee, Menas who has a vague tendency to transform into a dragon, Zoroark in ghost form, Nian Meier with a long steel tail, and the legendary elf Guluton
After a few days of contact, even Tan Xiaoshi, who has astonishing experience, had to sigh, "I have never seen this scene before."
Including myself as a passer-by, this can be called "I, Xia Chen, never raise idle elves"
However, what does it want to do with itself?
After replying "Nice to meet you", Tan Xiaoshi looked at Saifuhao calmly, waiting for it to explain its intention.
…………
What does your eyes look like after sixty years of ups and downs?
Saifuhao doesn't quite understand this concept, but it feels that the pressure of looking at Tan Xiaoshi is greater than that of Gullton.
If it were a human being with some experience, it would be a better metaphor, probably like meeting a respected elder.
There was a mixture of apprehension and respect.
But this look in his eyes was that of a little guy who was about half a meter tall. The emotions of Sai Fuhao were very subtle.
After simply calming down, Saifuhao casually found a reason to get closer, "Ke Deng. (I came here mainly to see if you need any help)"
In fact, even if there is no task of testing Tan Xiaoshi's "secret", it will still come to do this - Sai Fuhao is such a warm-hearted elf.
So this is not a lie.
Sensing the sincerity in Sai Fuhao's tone, Tan Xiaoshi's heart moved slightly.
This little guy has a good personality. In the future, we can refine a special elixir just for him and give it to him.
Then he secretly drew a big cake, and the waiter Tan was no longer polite to Sai Fuhao.
"Click - (Thank you, I just need help with one thing. Can you follow my instructions and put all these things into the pot in order and time?)"
This is not a job that requires too much technical content. Sai Fuhao patted his chest and assured: "Ding! (No problem!)"
It has an intuition that what Tan Xiaoshi will do next is related to its secret. It just so happens that he can also take this opportunity to complete the task assigned by Grandma Senbu and the others.
Everything was ready, and Tan Xiaoshi's first medicine refining in this world officially began.
"Thirty percent water, add two secret plants at the same time."
Saifuhao didn't know water-type moves, so he could only pour tap water into it, and then throw the two secret plants in together.
Seeing Tan Xiaoshi looking like he was about to make soup, he asked casually: "Ding? (Do you want to light the fire for you?)"
Tan Xiaoshi shook his head, his eyes flickered, and a ball of forest-white flames with a hint of blue suddenly shot out from his fingertips.
It’s coming, it’s finally here!
Sai Fuhao looked excited.
This flame does not look like a mortal thing at first glance. At least I will have something to explain when I go back.
…………
Tan Xiaoshi glanced at Sai Fuhao, who was inexplicably excited, and thought, does he know that my Bone Spirit Cold Fire can rank eleventh on the list of strange fires?
But then I thought about it and thought that there wasn't even strange fire in this world. This possibility shouldn't exist.
I couldn't figure out the reason for Sai Fuhao's excitement, so Tan Xiaoshi stopped caring about it.
Jumping on the stove, with a thought, the icy-cold flame suddenly spread out and began to heat the casserole for making soup.
Bone Spirit Cold Fire is a strange flame that combines extreme cold and extreme heat. Although it looks cold, the actual temperature is as different as ordinary ordinary fire.
Considering the material of the casserole used to boil the medicine, Tan Xiaoshi also deliberately controlled the temperature of the Bone Spirit Cold Fire.
But even so, in just ten seconds, the water in the pot started to boil.
Saifuhao on the side shivered unconsciously when he saw it. The principle is the same as the cold feeling in the crotch of men when they watch the video of "Ji Fei Dan Dan".
As a steel elf, what it fears most is fire.
If this fire burns on me, even if the difference in strength is there, it will be enough to hurt me for a while.
"Click! (Now, put in three golden phoenix pear fruits!)"
Tan Xiaoshi's serious voice interrupted Sai Fuhao, who was in a daze, and he immediately put in the corresponding fruit according to the instructions.
The flames rise and the temperature increases.
The "gurgling" sound in the pot became more frequent and intensive.
"Add water!"
"Add clear snow lotus!"
"Howling Whale King Saliva!"
"."
Tan Xiaoshi spoke very fast, and Sai Fuhao's reaction was not slow either.
As there were fewer and fewer fruits and medicinal materials on the table, the fire in Tan Xiaowai's hand became smaller and smaller.
A strange, definitely not pleasant smell came out of the casserole.
Sai Fuhao glanced inside curiously, only to see that the original clear water and various materials had turned into a pot of dark green viscous liquid.
The bubbling appearance of the gulu gulu is very much like the voodoo potion brewed by the legendary witch.
Saifuhao: "."
The look it looked at Tan Xiaoshi became more and more weird. Could this guy's specialty be making dark dishes?
Is this thing really edible?
If Tan Xiaoshi tells him that the effect of this thing is comparable to those candies, should he try it?
…………
Tan Xiaoshi did not let Sai Fuhao continue to struggle, withdrew the bone spirit cold fire, and he immediately jumped into the casserole.
Sai Fuhao was stunned. Was he going to stew himself in an iron pot?
Do I need to deduct 666?
Or is Tan Xiaoshi himself the final ingredient of this dark dish?
Saifuhao was completely baffled by Tan Xiaoshi's confusing behavior from beginning to end.
Even in Xia Chen's team, which is full of weirdos, Tan Xiaoshi's performance is quite explosive.
"Click - (Thank you for your help, I'm fine now. If you don't want to see me take a bath, can you hold the door for me?)"
Waiter Tan's tactful eviction order awakened Sai Fuhao who was in shock and confusion.
The little golden man who was still a little unresponsive nodded confusedly, then exited Tan Xiaoshi's room and walked back to the living room among the elves who were waiting expectantly for his return.
"Bu Yi? (How is the situation? Did you ask anything?)"
Senbu asked impatiently.
Sai Fuhao took a deep breath and said, "Dang! (Don't be afraid of what I'm going to say next!)"
The elves looked at each other, and Duolongqi took the lead to reassure Sai Fuhao, "Qi——(Don't worry, I am a quasi-god, I won't be afraid.)"
Sai Fuhao nodded and said: "Ding--(I saw the waiter cooked a pot of soup that smelled weird, and then used the pot of soup to cook himself!)"
Duolongqi: "."
He was afraid but not afraid, he actually wanted to laugh.
Fortunately, the elves' determination was astonishing, and they all froze, and no one laughed out loud.
But even so, he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes. These similar eyes made Sai Fuhao a little angry.
What do you mean, no one believes the truth these days?
Laughing all at once, the elves were still willing to believe Sai Fuhao's words. After all, there was no need to lie about this kind of thing.
The well-informed Senbu speculated: "Buyi——(I have heard before that some people put some things in the bath, which is said to be good for the body. This may be the case for Tan-chan.)"
This statement is much more reliable than the wealthy man's "stew yourself in an iron pot", and the other elves nodded.
Following this line of thought, Milotic asked: "Fuwu? (But it lives in the hot desert all year round, where there are not even a few fruit trees, how can it know so much?)"
The elves were silent. Undoubtedly, the answer to this question should be the "secret" of the charcoal servant, and they could not continue to explore.
It would be impolite to go deeper.
"Buyi—— (Okay, let's stop here, we will call it to the next meeting.)"
Satisfied with curiosity, it was finally the big sister Xianbu who announced the end of this investigation.
…………
While the elves were discussing the charcoal servant, in the room, the charcoal servant was undergoing a transformation.
In the casserole, the charcoal servant's red body was constantly steaming, and his face was even more painful.
If it weren't for his extremely strong willpower, he would have relieved the pain by roaring.
The pain did not come from the high temperature of the environment. As a fire elf, this temperature could only be regarded as a little hot.
What really caused the pain was the transformation of this weak body by the powerful medicinal bath.
In addition, in order to achieve the best effect of the medicinal bath, Tan Shi also absorbed the energy from the fire energy gem.
The flow of energy further stimulated the efficacy of the medicine, and the pain was super doubled.
According to the body's self-protection mechanism, a normal elf would have fainted from the pain at this time.
But Tan Shi's mental strength was extremely strong compared to his body, and he stayed awake throughout the medicinal bath.
Although it was indeed more painful, in the end, Tan Shi's absorption effect on the medicinal bath was surprisingly good.
Two hours later, feeling that there were only medicinal residues left in the pot, Tan Shi finally stopped absorbing.
After lying in the pot for a while, it jumped out of the casserole, and then ran under the faucet to rinse off the medicinal bath residue.
While taking a cold shower, Tan Shi reviewed his first medicine refining since coming to this world.
In general, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as "quite smooth".
Except for the fact that Dou Qi was replaced by energy, which was a bit unfamiliar, other aspects were similar and could be adjusted.
In this way, one of his most important reliances, alchemy, could also shine in the elf world.
The effect of the first medicinal bath was also quite good. Although there was no significant improvement in actual strength, it was quite good for consolidating the foundation and forging the body.
To use the terminology of that world, it was equivalent to washing the bones and cutting the marrow.
After soaking in such a medicinal bath for another seven days, it would be a success and the practice of the Burning Decision would begin.
After turning off the faucet, Tan Xiaoshi suddenly became absent-minded.
If he had not followed Xia Chen to leave the Honghong Desert, he would have been alone and would not know how many hardships he would have to go through to collect these precious fruits and medicinal materials, not to mention the follow-up.
He remembered those people in that world who had helped him when he was down and out.
The little princess of the Demon Saint Valley, Master Han Shanshan.
Sometimes, meeting a noble person in life really affects the trajectory of life.
In this world, Xia Chen is the noble person in his life, right?
…………
Failed to let the charcoal servant soak in the seven-day medicinal bath, Xia Chen had to leave the Padiya area.
No matter how thick the "Book of Vermilion" is, it has its limit. After Xia Chen flipped through it repeatedly, he could almost remember every symbol in the book that might be scribbled casually.
Although the author of this book, Haizhe, is a riddle man, Xia Chen still got a lot of useful information from the book.
The most important point is that many paradoxical elves do not actually exist, but are imagined by Haizhe himself?
In layman's terms, there were elf portraits in the Book of Vermilion first, and then the paradoxical elves appeared.
This is a very unusual thing. Is Haizhe a great prophet who can accurately predict the appearance of elves that have not been seen yet?
Or is it that the mysterious third god of Padiya dreamed of him, and the image of the paradoxical elf was imprinted in his subconscious, and Haizhe drew him after waking up?
He thought it was imagination, but it was actually memory?
This possibility is not impossible, but Xia Chen has a bolder guess.
Is it possible that this is the legendary spirit that looks like a disc, created according to Haizhe's imagination?
He admitted that such an idea is really bold, because it means that the power of the third god of Padya is really too great.
From the original opening of the space-time channel, it directly became the creation of spirits, which is almost above all the "first-level gods" in the popular sense of the previous life, and second only to the ability of the creator Arceus.
But this bold conjecture can explain many things that originally didn't make sense. Why does the iron track reveal contradictions everywhere? Because that is Haizhe's own imagination of the mechanical Dunjia.
For humans more than a hundred years ago, it is already a great thing to have such imagination.
But it is undeniable that such imagination has the limitations of the times and it is impossible to be a real technological product a thousand years later.
…………
So, can the legendary spirit that looks like a disc turn people's fantasies into reality?
The period of falling into a coma mentioned in Haizhe's book is the process of the legendary spirit materializing its imagination?
It makes sense, but not completely.
For example, the book clearly records that when the expedition team just entered the bottom of the giant pit, they encountered an attack by the majestic teeth of the ancient species of Dunjia. This can't be Haizhe's imagination, right?
And if all the paradoxical elves are constructed by the mysterious legendary elves through Haizhe's imagination, what is Gultun?
This question naturally came to Xia Chen's mind. He didn't dare to think about it, and even regretted reading this book.
If Gultun is just an elf constructed through imagination, then is it possible that it suddenly disappears strangely one day?
This conjecture that makes him feel a little cold is really scary. Xia Chen quickly closed this absurd book.
Exhaling deeply, he suddenly said to Gultun who was looking into the distance by the window sill: "Let's go back to Donghuang tomorrow and don't stay in Padiya."
Although this is a conjecture without any evidence, and although this behavior is a bit self-deceptive, Xia Chen thinks that if he stays away from Padiya, perhaps this kind of thing will not happen.
Gulden turned around and asked curiously, "Why? What about sister Doron Messiah?"
Xia Chen shook his head irritably, "I don't know. There are so many legendary elves in this world. Let's talk about it later. Anyway, I don't want to go back to Padiya in the short term."
Gulden stared at Xia Chen deeply, then turned his head away, "I know. I'll listen to you."
