The original repairer

The eight people stood there looking at each other for a long time. The seven Jie Xiu didn't dare to move and could only communicate with their eye contact.

Seeing that they all had some hidden agenda, Shi Chen ignored them and said after a moment's thought, "Looking at you all, your training days must be quite tough. Hey! I'm being kind, so the four of you will escort me to Qianshan Market. Once we get there, each of you will receive a bottle of low-grade Soul-Nourishing Pill as escort fee."

"Yes," the yellow-faced monk replied after a moment's thought, "There are seven of us brothers, and each of us will receive a bottle of low-grade Soul-Nourishing Pill. Thank you, fellow Daoist, for the gift."

"Oh," Shi Chen wanted to retort that three cultivators at 70% Qi training level didn't need to follow, but since the yellow-faced cultivator was counting three more, a few bottles of low-grade Soul-Nourishing Pills were nothing to him. "That's fine, it's just seven bottles of pills. The three of them don't need to follow. Pack up your junk and set off now. One person will stay behind to control the flying boat. The others can heal their wounds on the first floor of the boat. You can arrange to control the flying boat as soon as possible and reach Qianshan Market. Don't bother me unless necessary."

Shi Chen threw a jade bottle to the yellow-faced monk, which contained four low-grade recovery pills, which were several times more effective in healing injuries than their own low-grade recovery pills. Then Shi Chen went up to the third floor of the flying boat attic.

It would originally take about five days to reach Qianshan Market, but with the four people flying day and night, they arrived in two days.

The market town was about three miles away. The four men called out Shi Chen, left the flying boat, and then became wary of each other, fearing that Shi Chen would deny his guilt and they would kill him.

He took out seven bottles of low-grade Soul-Nourishing Pills and said to them, "This is the agreed reward. Take care of it yourselves."

"Thank you, Brother Dao, for the pills. If you need any help, you can contact us." The yellow-faced monk took out a communication talisman, handed it over, took away the seven bottles of pills and said.

"Okay," Shi Chen put away the communication symbol and said, "Let's see what's going on. I'll contact you guys if anything happens in the near future. See you!"

The original speed of the flying boat was about three hundred miles per hour, but it required the cultivator to use all his spiritual power to control it. The spiritual power of an average cultivator could only last for two quarters of an hour at most under full control, and then the spiritual power would be exhausted, requiring one or two days of nourishment to recover. Therefore, flying boats or flying swords were generally used to travel short distances, within a few hundred miles. For distances exceeding a thousand miles, cultivators would take caravan flying boats.

Normal people who fly flying boats do not use their full spiritual power to control it. They only use about half of it. They can fly for an hour, and then other cultivators take over.

If I were alone, the speed of the flying boat would be even slower, and my personal flying time would be at most one or two hours, so I could find a place to recover my consciousness.

Walking two to three hundred miles a day is already the norm for individual cultivators.

Even if Shi Chen's spiritual power is very strong, he can only fly for one or two hours longer than the average cultivator.

Taking into account the risks along the way, I would rest every time when my spiritual awareness reached half of its capacity.

Qianshan Market is not very big, with one main road and four side streets, dotted with market caves, commercial buildings, etc.

This is the territory of Qianjue Sect and also a border market. The environment is a bit chaotic. As soon as Shi Chen walked into the market, he saw some cultivators being thrown out of the market. He scanned with his spiritual sense.

Shi Chen was a little surprised, because he knew the monk who was thrown out.

Du Liangpeng.

Shi Chen stood by the roadside with many cultivators who were watching the fun, looking at Du Liangpeng who was ten feet away. He was wearing a tattered robe, with a bruised face and nose, disheveled hair, and no expression in his eyes. His cultivation level was already at the foundation-building stage, but he looked half-dead.

Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, the monks who had stopped there dispersed and went about their business. Shi Chen ignored them and left in the crowd of monks.

After resting for a day in Qianshan Market, Shi Chen set off for Dutan Fairy City.

Qianshan Market is not far from Dutan Fairy City. With Shi Chen's speed, it can be reached in about two days. Shi Chen was not in a hurry. It took him three days to arrive. In the middle, many Tribulation Cultivators followed him. Shi Chen did not want to encounter any more trouble, so he accelerated one by one, and then looked for a safe place. He burrowed ten feet underground to create space, waited for two or three hours, and came out after recovering his consciousness and continued walking.

The closer you get to the Immortal City, the fewer monks will follow you.

After entering the Immortal City, Shi Chen used the same trick again, the Golden Cicada Escape Method, and rented three caves in different directions, one in the lower monk area, one in the intermediate cave area, and one directly rented in the Immortal Inn. Each place would be rented for three months, which was the time Shi Chen estimated.

He also took turns wandering around the rented cave every day, going in and out many times, and greeting the neighboring monks. After ten days, he announced that he would go into seclusion.

After changing his appearance, he quietly walked out of the Poison Pond Fairy City and followed the crowd of cultivators into the Thousand Poison Pond.

The Thousand Poison Pond was still the same, filled with mist. The cultivators who entered the mist were all in a hurry. After they met each other, they were wary of each other and stayed away from each other.

Shi Chen came to the edge of the pond closest to the Monster Skin Cave, and seeing that there was no one around, he began to set up the formation. He had already prepared a lot of spiritual materials and carved a lot of formation bases. After arranging the directions and setting up the formation, he activated his spiritual power and the formation was ready to go.

The coverage area of his formation was not large, only about thirty feet.

Set up the God Forbidden Formation, the Maze Formation, the Three Talents Defense Formation, the Small Five Elements Trapping Formation, and the Nine Swords Killing Formation.

The first and second level formations can only block cultivators below the Golden Light Stage, which is enough. As long as he can hold them off, he can wait for him to successfully build his foundation and then look for an opportunity to directly enter the secret realm of the Monster Skin Cave.

It took an hour to set up the five formations. During this time, several cultivators broke in. Shi Chen appeared near him, and the intruding cultivators left cautiously.

After all the formations were arranged, five medium-grade spirit stones were taken out and placed on the driving points of the five formations. Shi Chen guided his spiritual power and raised the flag to activate the formation, and the formation was activated.

Shi Chen began to sit cross-legged in the formation, recovering his spiritual power and consciousness. Only when his spiritual power was full and his consciousness was abundant, would he strive to advance in his cultivation.

Adjust the whole body and take out the top-grade foundation-building pill.

The best-grade elixir is different from other elixirs. There are already elixir patterns visible on the best-grade elixir.

He swallowed it in one gulp and began to sprint towards the Foundation Establishment Stage.

When Shi Chen began to strive for the Foundation Establishment Realm, the sky above the Thousand Poison Pond began to gradually darken, and dark clouds gathered. One zhang, ten zhang, and in a few breaths, the dark clouds covered the sky for hundreds of zhang, and were still extending.

When the entire Thousand Poison Pond was covered by dark clouds, the cultivators in the mist discovered the oppressive aura and destructive intent, and quickly left the Thousand Poison Pond area.

Three or five miles away from the mist area, I saw dark clouds covering the Thousand Poison Pond and lightning surging, as if terrifying lightning was brewing in the clouds.

Shi Chen no longer paid attention to the outside world. After swallowing the top-grade foundation-building pill, he practiced the Five Elements Secret Kung Fu, mobilized the spiritual power in his Dantian, and began to attack the Qi Refining Barrier.

As soon as the Five Elements Secret Book technique was put into practice, Shi Chen felt something different.

The spiritual energy around him felt more active, and he absorbed it faster. Even the conversion into spiritual power was 10% to 20% more effective.

Looking at himself, he found that his five elements spiritual roots had changed. His qualifications had reached the limit of low-grade spiritual roots, and he only needed a little bit to reach the middle-grade spiritual roots.

It turns out that the function of the spiritual water in the sect's secret realm is to cleanse spiritual roots and improve aptitude.
