The original repairer

After three days of wandering, the two returned to the cave where Liang Ruyan was. After briefly reporting the investigation results, they boarded Liang Ruyan's flying boat and returned home.

On the way back, we encountered a few sea monsters, much fewer than when we came. We only found a few or a small group every one or two hundred miles. It took us about twenty days to return to Duhaixian City.

After more than four months of mission time, Shi Chen returned to the cave and found that everyone else was practicing behind closed doors. He had no choice but to return to his own house and start practicing. He had not practiced for several months and his cultivation level was stagnant at the fifth level of foundation building. It would take more than three years to reach the sixth level of foundation building. Now it is a war time and he cannot practice normally. The time it takes to improve his cultivation level will be even longer.

The next day, Shi Chen finished his training and walked out of the room. Everyone was drinking tea and waiting under the tree.

"Shi Chen is out, and the meeting begins now. First, let me summarize the situation of this mission. This reconnaissance mission was successfully completed, mainly because Shi Chen and Zhang Hao changed their appearance and mixed into the sea monster team, and investigated the situation of the sea monsters within a radius of five or six hundred miles after completing the mission point. Shi Chen, in particular, not only investigated the situation within about four hundred miles, but also used his identity as the leader of the sea monsters to control hundreds of sea monsters and fight with other groups of sea monsters. Zhang Hao did a good job as well. The military merit for this mission is five thousand per person. Shi Chen single-handedly eliminated one hundred and thirty-seven sea monsters, eight of which were in the foundation-building stage, with a total military merit of nine thousand three hundred. I also told you before the mission that those who stay in the fairy city to practice must give half of their military merit to those who go to carry out the mission. Each of the four of you will give two thousand five hundred military merits and divide them among Shi Chen and Zhang Hao. I will not divide my own." Liang Ruyan said.

"Captain, this isn't a fair distribution," Zhang Hao objected. "Shi Chen made the greatest contribution in this mission. He should get more of the 10,000 merit points. I can only take 3,000."

"I thought you wanted to take Shi Chen's share for yourself, but you are right, Captain, what do you think of Zhang Hao's proposal?" Zhao Fang said.

Liang Ruyanhuan looked at her teammates and said, "Alright, Zhang Hao, this is a fair division. Let's do it this way. After the meeting is over, you can go and claim your military merits. Now, the second thing is, we were supposed to have a fifteen-day break after completing this reconnaissance mission. Unfortunately, yesterday the governor assigned us a new mission. In five days, we will serve as vanguard scouts and march towards Dagu Immortal City. A month later, the main army will begin to relieve Dagu Immortal City, so everyone needs to participate in this mission. On the way to the reconnaissance, try to eliminate the sea monsters as much as possible. Those that cannot be eliminated will be left to the vanguard army behind. We will wait for the main army a thousand miles outside Dagu Immortal City."

"Wow! Captain, are we going to rescue Dagu Fairy City? The war has been going on for more than a year, it's time to start a counterattack. Last year, the sea monsters attacked too quickly, and before we could react, two fairy cities were occupied. Only four or five months later, three fairy cities were besieged. The human race was frustrated. Now it's good, the higher-ups are fully prepared, it's time to repel the sea monsters." Zeng Tieniu said.

"I don't know the specific situation, but I guess the war is about to begin. Everyone should prepare everything. It may take a long time for us to come back. I have said what I should say. Does anyone have any questions?" Liang Ruyan said.

Shi Chen glanced at everyone and said, "Captain, this is it. I don't need much military merit. Please exchange these 7,000 military merit for spiritual medicine for me. You can exchange as many spiritual medicines as you can for the Golden Yuan Pill. If your military merit is not enough, I still have about 3,000."

"Shi Chen, can you refine the Jinyuan Pill?" Zeng Tieniu asked in surprise.

"I haven't learned the recipe yet, but I have accumulated enough military merit to exchange for the recipe. I will go and exchange it later. It may take one or two years to refine the pill. Now I will prepare some spiritual medicines to practice. Dozens or hundreds of spiritual medicines are not too many." Shi Chen replied.

"Okay, I'll go and exchange the spiritual medicine for you later. Seven thousand military merits can be exchanged for a lot of spiritual medicines, probably twenty-three. I have a lot of military merits myself, so I can exchange a few more to make it an integer." Liang Ruyan said.

"I'll also exchange some spiritual medicines. If you make the Jinyuan Pill in the future, I must have a share!" Zeng Tieniu said.

"Yes, the success rate of a normal alchemist for refining the Golden Yuan Pill is only about 10% to 20%. You should be mentally prepared. In the next one or two years, you will lose dozens of spiritual medicines used for practicing refining the Golden Yuan Pill." Shi Chen said.

"Apart from the basic cultivation resources, I will fully support you in refining the elixir. As long as you can give me a Jinyuan Pill at that time, I can achieve the Jindan and join the Jindan family." Zeng Tieniu said.

"Wait until Shi Chen refines the pills before distributing them. He won't treat you unfairly." Liang Ruyan said.

In the evening, Shi Chen exchanged the recipe for the Jinyuan Pill and handed over the body of the Siren Leader who had received the space ring. In the end, he had more than 4,000 military merits left. Liang Ruyan also brought back 30 portions of the Jinyuan Pill's elixir, and Zeng Tieniu brought back 5 portions of the elixir.

Zeng Tieniu's cultivation has reached the ninth level of foundation building. If there is no war, with the help of Shi Chen's elixir, he can reach the perfection of foundation building in one or two years at most. He needs to prepare the Jinyuan Pill before the perfection of foundation building. Then he can make rapid progress and his cultivation will leap to the Jindan level.

Tuwu's cultivation is still at the first level of foundation building, and it has become much stronger. Fatty Yu is at the fourth level of foundation building, and Zhao Fang has also just broken through to the fourth level of foundation building.

In the past few months, several people have been practicing hard and their cultivation has improved. Shi Chen observed that Liang Ruyan's cultivation seemed to have reached the perfect foundation, but she did not show it.

The next day, Shi Chen went to exchange five Golden Yuan Pills for spiritual medicines, and the remaining two thousand military merits were exchanged for spiritual materials and spiritual medicines, mainly second-level formation materials and second-level pill materials. In a few days, they would set off for the front line. Shi Chen couldn't guess how long it would take to end this war, so it would definitely be a good idea to prepare more material resources.

Two days passed peacefully. When the time came, everyone gathered at the camp's training grounds. The commander didn't give any speeches or mobilize his troops. He simply looked at his subordinates and shouted, "The human race will win! Let's go!"

The entire battalion was dispatched for this mission, with a planned strength of 230 people, but the actual number was 165. There were a total of 20 teams, each responsible for reconnaissance, raids, and clearing out scattered sea monsters a thousand miles south of Dagu Fairy City.

On the eve of the war, the sea monsters in the rear need to be eliminated. It is difficult for twenty teams of scouts to screen the area a thousand miles away from Dagu Fairy City. However, there are more than 50,000 vanguard troops in the rear. After the scouts in the front have reconnaissance and marking, they will besiege and annihilate them.

The third team that Shi Chen was in took more than three months to reach the designated area, a distance of five thousand miles. If they went further, the density of the Sirens would increase a lot, and the chances of the scout team being surrounded and killed would increase. After all the scout teams arrived at the designated area, they began to lie in ambush, waiting for the arrival of the rear army.
