The original repairer

Through Du Liangpeng's spiritual consciousness transmission, Shi Chen learned the formula for the foundation-building pill, and he can start refining it as soon as he cultivates his spiritual consciousness.

Three of the main herbs are relatively rare, while the other auxiliary spiritual herbs are available in Danlou Pharmacy. Shi Chen informed Huang Qi to start purchasing these spiritual herbs, and then began to refine the medicine, practice, and learn magic.

Over the past few months, Huang Qi hired independent cultivators to purchase spiritual objects of the five elements from the surrounding markets. He received four: the core of a thousand-year-old tree demon, spiritual spring water, fire crystal, and gold essence.

Finally, the earth-attributed spiritual object was purchased from the sect, which was the heart of the giant stone monster.

In the cave's training room, Shi Chen raised his hand to open the soundproofing and anti-spying restrictions, and took out the monster skin and five-element items.

The spiritual object was placed casually next to the monster skin, and no obvious reaction was seen.

Fire overcomes metal, metal overcomes wood, wood overcomes earth, and earth overcomes water. It is not okay to place things in the order of the five elements.

Metal produces water, water produces wood, wood produces fire, fire produces earth, and earth produces metal.

Arranged according to the five elements, the monster skin gradually emits light.

Yellow represents metal, light blue represents water, green represents wood, red represents fire, and gray-brown represents earth.

After five breaths, the five-colored light dissipated, the monster's skin became spotless white, and the several five-element spiritual objects next to it had lost their spirituality.

Shi Chen looked up and saw faint patterns on the monster's skin.

He picked up the monster skin and tested it with his spiritual power. Two dots appeared on the skin, one red and one black, flashing every now and then.

Shi Chen took out the map of the continent and compared it with the patterns on the monster's skin.

The direction of mountains and rivers and the twists and turns of rivers all correspond to each other.

The pattern on the monster's skin is somewhat similar to a part of the map.

The twists and turns of Mingsha River, Daqian Mountain, Qiandu Pond, and landmarks all correspond to the same pattern.

The black dot on the monster's skin corresponds to the Thousand Poison Pond on the map, and the red dot seems to be the current Qishafang City.

This is a directional map. It may be a long time old. The river curve is only 70% similar, and some of the mountain and river landmarks are gone.

Knowing the direction of the monster skin, Shi Chen considered whether to go and explore, whether to go alone or in a team.

The monster's skin did not show what kind of creature it was, only black and red dots.

The Thousand Poison Pond is fifty miles north of the Thousand Absolute Sect's Poison Pond Immortal City, and over one thousand two hundred miles from Qisha Market. Between Poison Pond Immortal City and Qisha Market lie two Thousand Absolute Sect markets: Baiwu Market, approximately three hundred miles from Qisha Market, and Qianshan Market, seven hundred miles from Qisha Market.

There are three caravans passing through Qisha Market and Dutan Fairy City. Each caravan makes two round trips every year, which means that on average there is one caravan passing by every two months.

Merchant flying boats pass by every month. Compared with land-based caravans, they are much faster, but the price is also much more expensive.

After careful consideration, Shi Chen decided to go alone to check it out. He had to find an excuse to explain to Huang Qi and his sister that he needed to prepare for a long time before leaving.

To master the Minor Five Elements Concealment Technique, one must also master the Stealth Technique. The Earth Escape Technique has been perfected after several years of practice, and the other two Escape Techniques need to be practiced to at least a minor level of success before they can be mastered.

To walk in the world of cultivation, one also needs to practice a body-building technique. It is not enough to just use long-range spells, close combat can also be very deadly to practitioners.

At present, Shi Chen has only mastered three of his spells, namely the Spirit Rain Spell, the Spirit Fire Spell, and the Earth Escape Spell.

The most powerful spells include Golden Sword Spell, Earth Pine Spell, Ripening Spell, Earth Wall Spell, Fireball Spell, and Sword Controlling Spell.

The minor spells include vine magic, wind blade magic, fire dragon magic, ice arrow magic, and minor five elements concealment magic.

The remaining two escape techniques, wind escape technique and water escape technique, were only then mastered.

I have just learned the art of disguise for a few months and am still at the entry level.

Shi Chen calculated his progress in cultivation. According to his current speed, it would take him a year and a half to reach the sixth level of Qi training, and five years would be just right to reach 70% of Qi training.

In the past few years of refining medicine in the market, Shi Chen often communicated with the wandering cultivators who went out to explore the world, and learned a lot about their experiences. During the chats, the wandering cultivators would tell about some of their experiences.

Shi Chen summarized the experiences he had heard from the independent cultivators: In the cultivation world, apart from oneself, no one can be fully trusted, including the closest friends and fellow cultivators.

When faced with opportunities and treasures, they are often the ones who stab you in the back.

After three months of training, Shi Chen's cultivation level hadn't improved much. He practiced magic, even without sacrificing Qi-boosting pills, and achieved perfection in Golden Sword Technique, Sword Controlling Technique, Fireball Technique, and Earth Wall Technique. He had originally intended to learn a body-refining technique, but couldn't find one suitable, so he had to look for another.

Spells at the Perfection level differ significantly in both power and casting time. While they can't be cast instantly, they can be cast half a breath faster than at the Great Perfection level. Whether in combat or defense, they can be cast earlier than at the Great Perfection level. This crucial difference can save lives in crucial moments.

After changing his appearance, Shi Chen came to one of the caravans in the market town and signed up to follow the caravan to Dutan Fairy City. Three days later, a flying boat passed by.

The cost of the flying boat was one hundred low-grade spirit stones for a large bed in the cabin, two hundred low-grade spirit stones for a low-grade guest room, and three hundred low-grade spirit stones for a medium-grade guest room. Shi Chen didn't ask about the high-grade guest rooms. When traveling, one should not show off one's wealth. His cultivation level was only in the middle stage of Qi training, so he couldn't show off too much.

The price of taking a flying boat is relatively expensive, while following the caravan on land only costs twenty low-grade spirit stones, but it will take a long time, estimated to be more than two months.

Disguised as an ordinary casual cultivator and hiding his cultivation level to the fourth level of Qi training, Shi Chen chose the main bed in the cabin.

There are few large flying boats sailing between the market town and the fairy city. There are fixed flying boat routes between fairy cities. Flying boats passing through the market town will stay for a short time.

It only takes five days for merchants to travel from Qisha Market to Dutan Fairy City by flying boat. There are caravan guards protecting them, and each flying boat is equipped with a Jindan cultivator or a cultivator in the late foundation-building stage.

The robbery team did not dare to intercept the caravans' flying boats. The caravans' flying boats were most afraid of passing through the territory of high-level monsters or encountering high-level monsters while traveling.

As for Huang Qi and his sister, Shi Chen made an excuse that he was confused in his cultivation recently and wanted to go to the Immortal City for a stroll, mainly to relax and get out of the predicament of his cultivation.

Both of them wanted to follow him to the Immortal City, but Shi Chen refused, saying that he wanted to walk around alone, think and gain some insights, and then return to the market in a month or two.

The market needs Huang Qi to preside over it. Shi Chen left behind about a year's worth of cultivation resources, as well as many different elixirs, which need Huang Ziying to sell.

Finally, Shi Chen changed his appearance and left on a flying boat.

From the outside, the flying boat looked only ten feet long and thirty feet wide. Once on deck, one would discover that the interior of the boat was thirty feet long and seven or eight feet wide, with a five-story pavilion.

Shi Chen lived in a large room inside the boat. The first floor of the pavilion was the lower-quality guest rooms.

On the deck of the flying boat, there were three to four hundred cultivators at a glance, most of whom were at the Qi Refining Stage.

Shi Chen entered the flying boat's main deck. The spiritual energy here was much thicker than on the deck, at least 30% thicker.

There were thirty-six people in this big shop, and Shi Chen was the thirty-seventh person to come in. No one paid attention to him, as they were all meditating and practicing in their own seats.

After finding his place, he did not practice, but lay down and closed his eyes to rest.

The five-day journey involved a boat traveling over 1,200 miles, with many detours required, so the total distance was probably over 1,500 miles. The boat could only fly over 300 miles a day.

There are always bright crystal stones in the shop. The crystal stones will be much brighter during the day, and will dim when night falls.
