Chapter 399: Tan Xiaoshi returns from Dou Po World
(This chapter has been changed)
(I didn’t drink fake wine, and I didn’t spend the holidays in the lake. The one I was thinking about was the 2.19 leave chapter with the highest likes in the comments. How could there be so many people criticizing it... Sorry, I took it for granted again.)
His consciousness gradually faded into a lake, as if he was sinking into a deep sea, surrounded by darkness that was too thick to dissolve.
Yaochen felt like he was enclosed in a bubble, slowly floating up, and there was a faint light under his feet.
"No, I can't leave..."
A strong desire suddenly arose in Yao Chen's heart, and he struggled towards that little bit of light, which was the world he had lived in for more than sixty years.
Suddenly, he saw clearly that the gleam of light was actually a book.
It clearly says "Dou Po——"
Peng! Before he could see clearly, he hit a barrier, his soul shook violently, and he completely lost consciousness.
The bubbles split in two here, entangled each other and reached the sea surface, where they both burst.
Elf world, dry desert.
Tan Xiaoshi slowly opened his eyes. The dazzling sunlight made him drowsy, and the quicksand that was still sinking beneath him swallowed his body.
"Who am I?" Tan Xiaoshi looked a little confused.
"By the way, elf poacher, I'm being hunted by poachers!"
Tan Xiaoshi woke up a little and remembered what seemed to have happened just now, but also seemed to have happened a long time ago.
"Run! Run! Run! Get out of here quickly!"
He urged himself, but fatigue was as heavy as a lead curtain, pinning him firmly in the sand of despair.
Feeling hungry and tired, Tan Xiaoshi's CPU, which had not yet fully resumed operation, entered a crash state again, and his eyes fell into darkness again.
The colorful black and white are brilliant, and the non-Euclidean geometric shapes and lines are changing postures. This chaos is unobservable and indescribable, and can only be seen with the heart.
This is Tan Xiaoshi's spiritual world.
However, he turned a blind eye to the bizarre and strange sights, subconsciously ignoring them as a habit.
But a clear and loud voice suddenly sounded, making him unable to ignore it.
"Hahaha, it's fake, it turns out it's all fake!"
The old man's crazy laughter came from all directions, his voice was sad and hoarse.
"My life turned out to be just an absurd script, and my fate turned out to be predestined."
Tan Xiaoshi found that the voice was getting younger and sounded a bit familiar.
"That's all, that's all, it's just a dream."
The voice became younger and more familiar, and Tan Xiaoshi was horrified to find that it was his own voice.
"Who are you?!" Mr. Tan took half a step back.
"Me... maybe it's Yaochen, maybe it's Tan Xiaoshi, I am you, and you are also me..."
The voice came from the front, and then another Tan Xiaoshi appeared. Behind him were a book, a flame, and a medicine cauldron.
In this spiritual world, the two charcoal servants slowly approached and then merged into one.
…………
Is this a dream? Or a fantasy?
If it is a dream, will it last for a hundred years?
If it is an illusion, which one is true and which one is false?
Yao Chen...or perhaps Tan Xiaoshi was in deep confusion. He didn't even feel a huge force rescuing his body from the quicksand.
Those words still echoed in his soul.
"This is your journey..."
So, what exactly is this memory?
Did it really happen? Or was it just a fantasy in your mind?
Or...is it really just a book? A play?
Despite the wisdom and experience brought by those more than sixty years, Tan Xiaoshi fell into deep doubt and frustration.
Anyone who knows that his life is as illusory as a dream would find it difficult to accept it. Tan Xiaoshi has not collapsed at this moment, and is already quite determined.
So am I Yaochen? Or am I Tan Xiaoshi?
The consciousness represented by the two memories continued to intersect, causing him to fall into further doubts.
People, elves, and all intelligent creatures live by memory.
What you experience is what you will become.
Based on this logic, it seems more appropriate for him to identify himself as Yaochen with sixty years of experience in Yaochen.
However, he suddenly discovered something, that memory belonging to Yao Chen... was dissipating!
Starting from the embryonic stage, he was gradually forgetting the memory of being a "medicine dust".
Tan Xiaoji panicked, and he began to use all the means he knew to save it. However, memory is not the soul, and this process cannot be stopped and irreversible.
At this speed, in less than two months, Tan Xiaoshi will lose his entire memory of that world.
He will no longer be "Yao Chen", he will become the little charcoal servant with nothing special again!
No, I have to do something, I have to leave something in this world!
The consciousness of "medicine dust" is searching in one's soul.
Immediately, the strange, swaying, white and purple flame deep in his soul instantly attracted his attention.
This old friend, ranked eleventh on the strange fire list, has been with him for many years, and Tan Xiaoshi is very familiar with it.
At this moment, the swaying flame is clearly telling his authenticity.
What if... I leave my strange fire, my alchemy skills, my... everything to my original consciousness?
"Medicine dust" consciousness thought so.
…………
The waiter Nan Ke Yimeng, but to the outside world, this moment has only passed.
After solving the elf poaching group and rescuing Tan Xiaoshi, Xia Chen and Gu Leton found a safe place to rest and take a look at Tan Xiaoshi's situation.
With a two-pronged approach to cure the fluctuations and drug treatment, Tan Xiaoshi's breathing quickly returned to steady.
Xia Chen didn't know much about medicine, so he asked the team's part-time doctor, "Gardevoir, how is this little guy's condition?"
Although Gardevoir does not have any modern medical equipment, her mental power detection is better than any other equipment. After carefully examining Tan Xiaoshi's body, she replied:
"Sanai——(The body is no longer seriously injured. It was just a little exhausted before, and then passed out due to the lack of oxygen due to the hardship in the quicksand, but there is something strange...its mental power is terrifyingly strong.)"
Xia Chen's expression was solemn, which could make a gym-level Gardevoir describe him as terrifying, definitely not much lower than him.
But I heard Gardevoir continue to say: "Sanai! (His strength is very weak, only amateur level, but his mental power is close to the gym level!)"
How much is the difference between amateur level and gym level?
Although senior level and elite level seem to be only two short levels, in fact, these are levels that ordinary wild elves may not be able to cross in ten or twenty years.
How could this little charcoal servant have such strong mental power?
"Sanai... (Another strange thing is that if Tan Xiaoshi had such a strong mental power, he wouldn't have been so embarrassed when he was chased by those elf poachers...)"
Xia Chen nodded with deep understanding. He had the most say in this regard. He has superpowers and is an example of someone whose physical quality and energy are far weaker than his mental strength.
In fact, there are many wonderful uses of mental power. In that case, it is not said that one can escape 100%, but coupled with the familiarity with the terrain, this group of poachers can be kept away. For those who do not borrow the power of Deoxys,
It is not difficult for Xia Chen to do it.
But Tan Xiaoshi just now didn't have the feeling of a mentally powerful superpower at all. His life was hanging by a thread just now. If he were a normal person or an elf, he would definitely use all means to protect himself...
Could it be that Tan Xiaoshi only had such mental power after he rescued her?
This is too ridiculous...
…………
"I can understand this after being subdued by me, but I haven't even thought about subduing at all, and it's already starting to feel weird..."
While Xia Chen was muttering softly to himself, at the same time, Tan Xiaoshi finally opened his eyes.
"Stuck? (What's wrong with me?)"
Although he can actually speak human language, in order to make himself look normal, Tan Xiaoshi speaks Elvish.
How could he not understand the truth that anything beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind, not to mention that what he possesses is knowledge from another world.
"Ding! (Are you awake? Don't worry, you are safe now!)"
A golden guy with a sunny smile put his head over to comfort Mr. Tan, who was slightly startled.
An elf I have never seen before...
After releasing his soul power for a while, Tan Xiaoshi found out the strength of this strange elf without disturbing the other party.
Dou Wang... No, according to this world, he should be almost a gym-level elf.
The strength of the several elves around them is also very different, and most of them are at this level.
Just as Tan Xiaoshi was about to take back his probing breath, he suddenly felt an extremely powerful breath.
This aura is... Dou Zun?!
He didn't know what level Douzun was in terms of combat power in this world, but he must have been unable to suppress the highest level of championship level set by humans.
This human being actually subdued an elf whose strength was close to that of that world?
Who is he?
Tan Xiaoshi was shocked for just a moment. The next second, he cautiously withdrew his probing breath.
However, just that moment of detection could not escape Gulton's induction.
It calmly used telepathy to transmit a message to Xia Chen, "Xia Chen, he looked at me for a moment and then took it back. This guy is very vigilant. He is definitely not as simple as he appears."
Xia Chen was silent and replied telepathically: "I understand, let's take a look at the situation."
He was not worried that Tan Xiaoshi had malicious intentions. No matter how weird he was, he was just an amateur elf. Even if there was no reason, Ledun could handle it casually.
…………
Tan Xiaoshi also didn't care whether Xia Chen or the others noticed something strange about him. Their previous actions showed a quite friendly stance.
The worst case scenario is that it is just subdued.
The "medicine dust" consciousness in his soul does not want to be subdued. As a human being, and a human being who once stood at the top, how can he be willing to become another human being's follower?
But as far as Tan Xiaoshi's true spirit consciousness is concerned, he doesn't object to being subdued, he just objects to being subdued by people he doesn't recognize.
And since the dissipation of "Yao Chen" consciousness is inevitable, then the matter of being subdued is not that terrible.
On the contrary, the "Yao Chen" consciousness wants to find a reliable trainer for the "Tan Xiaoshi" consciousness before it disappears completely, and it also wants to find a good direction for itself.
The human being in front of me seems worthy of investigation.
After withdrawing his thoughts, Tan Xiaoshi sincerely thanked him: "It's stuck! (Thank you for saving me!)"
Xia Chen waved his hand and replied: "It doesn't matter, it's a piece of cake. We have to go forward next. What should you do? Do you want to go with us first and then take you back when we go back?"
Tan Xiaoshi was surprised, this human actually understands Elvish?
Or are you just guessing that what you just said was a thank you?
You will know after testing it again. Tan Xiaoshi nodded and said: "Kah (I know, but my home is a bit far away from here. Will it be too troublesome for you?)"
Xia Chen smiled and said: "It's not troublesome, so I just need to fly for a few more minutes."
Tan Xiaoshi nodded secretly in his mind. He really knew the Elvish language. His savior was not an ordinary person...
Each person has his or her own thoughts.
Put the other elves except Tan Xiaoshi back into the ball, and the group started on the journey again.
Tan Xiaoshi was very short, about half a meter tall, similar to Yin Bu two years ago, so Xia Chen took advantage of it and put it on his shoulders.
"Such an interesting elf, don't you have the idea of subduing him?"
While searching for traces of iron tracks, Gu Leton did not forget to chat with Xia Chen telepathically.
"Let's see..."
Although he responded to Gu Ledun like this, Xia Chen had a vague feeling in his heart that this little charcoal servant... would definitely become his elf.
Therefore, Leden joked: "I think you two are quite compatible. You are both mysterious. That guy is also very brave. He would rather die than be caught before."
Xia Chenhanhu replied: "Let's take a closer look. Anyway, we still have some time to get along with him before sending him back, right?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Now that the island has been bought and a house has been built, the number of elves is no longer a constraint on cultivation. The only thing that needs to be considered is whether they are compatible with each other.
Frankly speaking, Xia Chen, the evolved form of Tan Xiaoshi, the Blue Flame Blade Ghost, really likes it.
But what he was worried about was the light in his eyes that was as quiet and unpredictable as a deep pool when he and Tan Xiaoshi looked at each other for the first time.
Is that guy really just an elf with only amateur level strength...
…………
Xia Chen was thinking about all kinds of things over there, while Tan Xiaoshi sitting on top of him was peering into his soul.
To be precise, it is the three things in the soul, Bone Spirit Cold Fire, Fen Jue, and Heavenly Demon Cauldron.
These were the three most important things to him in that world, so he carved his soul mark on them early on.
Unexpectedly, when I returned to the world of elves, they all followed me.
Xia Chen was right next to him. Naturally, he didn't dare to try it now. Instead, he thought about how he could let these three things help his main consciousness rise in this life.
The first is his most accomplished profession in that world, alchemist.
If there are many people in the entire Dou Qi Continent who are stronger than him, but there is no alchemist who is better than him, Tan Xiaoshi admits that there is no one.
With his outstanding talent and enthusiasm for refining medicine, he created and improved countless medicines.
Although he couldn't say that he knew every prescription by heart, he remembered most of the important prescriptions clearly.
But the crux of the problem is that there are none of the ingredients in those prescriptions, including the crystal cores of Warcraft and spiritual herbs!
A clever woman can't make a meal without rice, so she changed the system, and all the previous research was in vain.
However, Tan Xiaoshi has always believed that "the most important thing for an alchemist is his mind". If the system collapses, then he will build a new one.
There are also many magical things in this world, such as tree fruits, herbs, certain parts of the elf's body...
Tan Xiaoshi believes that using these things, powerful elixirs can be made.
Putting aside the art of refining medicine for the moment, there is a more important thing that needs to be dealt with first, and that is the matter of martial arts.
In that world, martial arts are the foundation of everything. If two people of the same level of strength fight, the one with stronger martial arts will definitely win.
There is no such thing in the elf world, but Tan Xiaoshi has to be prepared for what he should choose if he can practice martial arts in this world.
The Medicine Clan's foundation-building technique is the fire-building technique? Or is it the advanced three-flower fire-gathering technique?
Or...Fen Jue?
…………
Unlike fighting skills, where you can learn many kinds of skills, Tan Xiaoshi can only remember a few skills.
The former is more stable, while the latter has a higher ceiling, but a high ceiling also means high risks.
If you can't swallow the strange fire, this skill is not even as good as the fire-building skill.
But where did the strange fire come from in this world?
Tan Xiaoshi was a little troubled, and just when he was about to make up his mind to choose the former, a very bold idea came to his mind.
The flames on those fire elves...are they considered strange fires?
No, no, those are more likely to be animal fires.
So, what if it’s the flames of those legendary fire elves?
Tan Xiaoshi's heart moved slightly, and he calculated the worst case scenario of choosing to practice Fen Jue - only swallowing the cold fire of the bone spirit that he already had.
This can at least ensure that the skill can reach around the mid-level Xuan level, which is not bad.
The lower limit is slightly lower, but the upper limit is extremely high.
So...just choose this one!
He was not an indecisive person, and when he thought about this, he made an immediate decision.
As for how to find those legendary fire-type elves, this problem is not something I can worry about now.
He believes that his main consciousness can still stand at the pinnacle of this world even if there is no memory of his sixty years in that world in the future.
