Chapter 401: 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 its 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, this also shows one thing -
Xia Chen would not be like the mainstream thinking of most trainers in the world, which believes that elves are his possessions and that the relationship between the two is master and servant.
This way of getting along is more like a relationship between friends or family, making Tan Xiaoshi even less regretful of her choice.
At least not yet.
In the past few days, he basically stayed in his room, thinking about making a 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.
From the current point of view, 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, and rely 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 weren't 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 both Gardevoir and Xia Chen have super powers. I will find an opportunity to ask them to give it a try.
Tan Xiaoshi didn't let go of her current figure just because of her achievements in that world.
It is one thing for a hero not to mention his former bravery. "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 weird 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 really 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 their endurance becomes stronger, 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.
Sai Fuhao, 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 shell tail, 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", Mr. Tan looked at Saifuhao calmly, waiting for it to explain its purpose.
…………
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 Luton.
If it were a human being with some experience, it would be a better metaphor, probably like meeting a respected elder.
I was a little worried, but also a little respectful.
But this look in his eyes was that of a little guy about half a meter tall, and the emotions of Sai Fuhao were very subtle.
After simply calming down, Sai Fuhao casually found a reason to get closer, "Ke Deng. (I came here mainly to see if there is anything you need help with)"
In fact, even if there is no task of testing Tan Xiaoshi's "secret", it will still come to do this - Saifuhao 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: "Oh! (No problem!)"
It has an intuition that what Tan Xiaoshi will do next is related to its secret, and it just so happens that it can take this opportunity to complete the task assigned by Grandma Senbu and the others.
Everything is ready, and Tan Xiaoshi's first medicine refining in this world officially begins.
"Thirty percent water, add two secret plants at the same time."
Saifuhao doesn't know water-type moves, so he can only pour tap water into it, and then throw the two secret plants in together.
Seeing the waiter Tan looking like he was about to make soup, he asked by the way: "Hey? (Do you want to light the fire for you?)"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Tan Xiaoshi shook his head, his eyes flashed slightly, and a ball of forest white flame with a hint of blue suddenly shot up 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 I, the 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, so 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, within ten seconds, the water in the pot had already begun to boil.
Saifuhao on the side shivered unconsciously when he saw it. The principle is the same as that of men who feel a chill in their crotch when they see a video of "chicken flying and egg beating".
As a steel elf, what it fears most is fire.
If this fire burns on myself, 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.
Saifuhao 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, and withdrew the bone spirit cold fire, he immediately jumped into the casserole.
Sai Fuhao was dumbfounded. Was he going to stew himself in an iron pot?
Do I need to deduct 666?
Or is it that Tan Xiaoshi himself is 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 already fine here. If you don't want to see me taking 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.
Saifuhao 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 charcoal waiter boiling 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 had amazing concentration, 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 tell lies 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 rich man's "stew yourself in an iron pot", and the other elves nodded.
Following this line of thought, Menas raised a question: "Fuwu? (But it lives in the dry desert all year round, and there are not even a few fruit trees there, so how can it know so many?)"
The elves were all silent. Undoubtedly, the answer to this question should be Tan Xiaoshi's "secret", and they could not continue to explore it.
It would be impolite to dig deeper.
"Bu Yi——(Okay, let's stop here, we will call it at the next meeting.)"
After satisfying his curiosity, the eldest sister Senbu finally announced the end of this investigation.
…………
While the elves were discussing Tan Xiaoshi, Tan Xiaoshi was going through a transformation in the room.
In the casserole, Tan Xiaoshi's red body was steaming continuously, and his face had an expression of unbearable pain.
If it weren't for his strong willpower, he might have resorted to roaring to relieve the pain.
The pain does not come from the high temperature of the environment. As a fire elf, this temperature can only be regarded as a little hot.
What really caused the pain was the transformation of this frail body by the powerful medicinal bath.
In addition, in order to maximize the effect of the medicinal bath, Tan Xiaoshi also absorbed the energy from the fire energy gem.
The flow of energy further stimulates the effect of the medicine, doubling the pain.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! According to the body's self-protection mechanism, a normal elf would have fainted from pain at this time.
But Tan Xiaoshi's mental power is extremely powerful compared to his body, and he remained awake throughout the medicinal bath.
Although it was indeed more painful, Tan Xiaoshi's absorption effect of the medicinal bath was surprisingly good in the end.
Two hours later, feeling that there was only medicine residue left in the pot, Tan Xiaoshi finally stopped absorbing it.
After lying in the pot for a while, it jumped out of the casserole, and then ran under the faucet to wash away the residue of the medicinal bath.
While taking a cold shower, Tan Xiaoshi reviewed the first time he made medicine after coming into this world.
Overall, "quite smoothly" is not an exaggeration to describe it.
Except for the fact that fighting spirit has been replaced by energy, which is a bit uncomfortable for the time being, other aspects are similar, just make some changes.
In this way, one of the most important things he relies on, the art of alchemy, can also shine in the elf world.
The effect of the first medicinal bath was also quite good. Although there was not a big improvement in actual strength, it was quite good for laying a solid foundation and forging the body.
To use the terminology of that world, it is equivalent to washing the bones and removing the marrow.
After soaking in this kind of medicinal bath for another seven days, you will be done and you can start practicing Fenjue.
After turning off the faucet, Mr. Tan suddenly felt lost in thought.
If he hadn't followed Xia Chen out of the Bingbing Desert and was alone, he wouldn't have known how many hardships he would have gone through to collect these precious fruits and medicinal materials, let alone the follow-up.
He thought of those people in that world who had helped him when he was down.
The little princess of Demon Holy Valley, master Han Shanshan.
Sometimes, meeting a noble person in life can really affect the trajectory of life.
In this world, Xia Chen is the noble person in his life, right?
…………
Xia Chen was about to leave the Padia area after failing to let Tan Xiaoshi take a slow medicinal bath for seven days.
No matter how thick the "Book of Nobles" is, it has its limit. After Xia Chen flipped through it over and over again, he was able to memorize almost every symbol on the book that might have been scribbled casually.
Although the author of this book, Haizhe, is a riddler, Xia Chen still obtained 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?
To put it in layman's terms, there are the portraits of elves in the Book of Purples first, and then the appearance of the paradoxical elves.
This is a very unusual thing. Could it be that Haizhe is a great prophet and can accurately predict the appearance of elves that he has not yet seen?
Or maybe the mysterious third god of Padia entrusted him with a dream, and the image of the paradoxical spirit was imprinted on his subconscious, and Haizhe only drew him after he woke up?
He thought it was imagination, but in fact it was memory?
This possibility is not impossible, but Xia Chen has a bolder conjecture.
Is it possible that this is the legendary disk-like elf created based on Haizhe's fantasy?
He admitted that such an idea was really bold, because it meant that the power of the third god of Padia was too great.
From the original opening of the space-time channel, he directly became a creation elf. This is almost a "first-level god" that surpasses all previous lives in the popular sense, and is second only to the ability of the creation god Arceus.
But this bold conjecture can explain many things that were originally unexplainable. Why does the iron track reveal contradictions everywhere? Because that is Haizhe's own imagination of the mechanical armor.
For humans more than a hundred years ago, it was already a remarkable thing to have such imagination.
However, it is undeniable that such an imagination has the limitations of the times and cannot be a true technological product a thousand years later.
…………
So, that legendary spirit that looks like a disk can transform people's fantasies into reality?
The period of falling into coma mentioned in Haizhe's book is the process of the legendary elf materializing its imagination?
It makes sense, but it doesn't entirely make sense.
For example, the book clearly records that when the expedition team first entered the bottom of the giant pit, they were attacked by the majestic fangs of the ancient Dunjia species. This couldn't be Haizhe's imagination, right?
And if all paradoxical spirits are constructed by the mysterious legendary spirit through Haizhe's fantasy, what is Luton?
This question naturally appeared in Xia Chen's mind. He was afraid to think about it and even regretted reading this book.
If Guluton is just an elf created through fantasy, is it possible that it suddenly and mysteriously disappears one day?
This kind of conjecture that made his whole body shiver was really scary. Xia Chen quickly closed this ridiculous book.
Taking a deep breath, he suddenly said to Gulton, who was looking into the distance by the window sill: "Let's go back to Donghuang tomorrow and don't stay in Padia."
Although this is a conjecture that is completely unsupported by evidence, and although this behavior is somewhat self-deceptive, Xia Chen feels that if he stays away from Padiya, perhaps this kind of thing will not happen.
So Leden turned around and asked strangely: "Why? What should I do with sister Duolong Mexia?"
Xia Chen shook his head a little irritably, "I don't know, there are so many legendary elves in this world. Besides, I don't want to go back to Padia in the short term."
Therefore, Luton stared at Xia Chen deeply, then turned his head, "I understand. I'll listen to you."
