Chapter 147 Leaving Anhe Immortal City
Chapter 147 Leaving Anhe Immortal City
After Liang Ruyan left, Shi Chen did not continue to flirt with Xu Qianying. He gently helped her put on her torn clothes, asked Xu Qianying to go back to her room to practice, and he went out for a while.
Shi Chen had plenty of elixirs for the Golden Core Stage. They were enough for him and Liang Ruyan to practice for at least a year. However, Shi Chen did not have any elixirs for Xu Qianying. He had already handed in the elixirs for the Foundation Establishment Stage in exchange for military merits. Now he had to go to the Fairy City Affairs Hall to exchange them for some spiritual medicines for the Foundation Establishment Stage and refine a batch of elixirs for Xu Qianying.
After arriving in Anhe Fairy City, Shi Chen had been living a secluded life and rarely strolled around the city. Now, walking through the bustling avenue, he found that all the shops and stalls in the city had reopened and were bustling with people shouting and hawking their wares. Even the Hehuan Building, which provided dual cultivation services, had female cultivators standing at the door and windowsills, posing coquettishly to attract customers.
Shi Chen looked at these female cultivators. Their looks and figures were about average, but their expressions and movements made the male cultivators feel itchy. Their breasts were half exposed, and their skirts were split to the waist. Many parts of their bodies were vaguely visible, attracting the attention of the male cultivators within dozens of feet in front of the Hehuan Tower.
Shi Chen glanced around critically. This one had a slit too low, it could have reached right under the armpits, leaving a heart-shaped blank space on the chest. It would be better to just stick two pieces of silk cloth on the front. And since you don't even wear anything underneath, there's no mark on the back...
After looking for a while, I followed the crowd and left the street.
Arriving at the Affairs Hall and the spiritual medicine exchange place, Shi Chen listed the spiritual medicines that needed to be exchanged one by one, fifty spiritual medicines for foundation-building cultivation, five spiritual medicines for healing, and five spiritual medicines for recovery.
Shi Chen's military merits have accumulated to 150,000 or 160,000, and this little elixir is only worth 2,000 or 3,000 military merits. Shi Chen doesn't feel sorry at all.
After exchanging the elixir, Shi Chen thought for a while and went to the market again to carefully select a few spiritual objects as gifts. Last time, Huo Yan brought Huo Wei to attend his wedding banquet, and now it was a good time to come out, bring gifts, visit and maintain some personal relationships.
He arrived at Huo Wei's cave, pressed the restriction, and waited for a long time, but it was not lifted. She must not be in the cave, so Shi Chen had to take out the communication talisman to send her a message.
Half a minute later, Huo Wei hurried over, opened the cave and invited him in.
"I'm really sorry for coming here in a presumptuous way and disturbing Fellow Daoist Huo Wei." Shi Chen said apologetically.
"No need to apologize, I have nothing to deal with. Since Master Shi Dan is here to visit, I must receive him. It is an honor for my humble home to have Master Shi Dan visit." Huo Wei said with a smile, with some joy in her eyes.
In the reception hall, they poured spiritual tea and spiritual fruit, and after exchanging some pleasantries, Shi Chen began to get to the point.
"Daoyou Huowei came to visit me a few days ago and congratulated me. I came to visit you today. This is just a small token of my appreciation." Shi Chen said as he handed over the gift box with a very sincere attitude.
"Master Dan is too polite. We should congratulate you on your marriage. Besides, you have done a lot for our clan. On behalf of our ancestor, I would like to congratulate you. If we give you enough face, it will be good for everyone." Huo Wei replied politely and nodded slightly.
"Thank you, Chief Huo and fellow Daoist, for your kindness!" Shi Chen expressed his gratitude and then said, "I've been transferred to Anhe Immortal City for nearly a year now, and my term is less than three months away. If fellow Daoist Huo Wei still needs to refine pills, I'll be free in the near future. If there's no need for refining pills, I'll go to Linyang Immortal City half a month in advance before my term ends."
"Oh," Huo Wei was a little surprised, and then continued: "Since fellow Daoist has free time, go and collect the spiritual medicine today and send it to the alchemist's residence tomorrow."
"Okay, it's settled. I'll take my leave first. Fellow Daoist Huo Wei, please stay!" Shi Chen confirmed the alchemy and said goodbye before leaving.
It took Shi Chen a month to refine the elixir. Huo Wei gave him thirty spiritual medicines, all of which were used in the Golden Core Stage. He refined three to five furnaces of elixir every day. After the refining was completed, he practiced magic, and then read various books to consolidate his knowledge. At night, he practiced dual cultivation with the two women, and waited until the early morning to practice alone in the training room.
Xu Qianying obtained the top-grade elixir refined by Shi Chen, and her cultivation improved rapidly. In one month, she advanced from the fifth level of foundation building to the sixth level of foundation building. According to this trend of progress, she will be able to form an elixir and achieve a golden elixir within one or two years.
Shi Chen is very satisfied with his current life. He has no shortage of resources, is accompanied by a Taoist partner, and his cultivation is improving step by step.
The cold winter has passed and it is late spring. The mountains and plains outside the fairy city are full of green trees and flowers. There is still one month left in the term of office. Shi Chen and his two Taoist companions have applied for transfer to Yuehe Fairy City.
However, this time he cannot be in charge of the Dan Palace in Yuehe Immortal City. There is already a fourth-grade alchemist from the Qingming Immortal Sect in charge. Shi Chen goes to Yuehe Immortal City only to serve in the Dan Palace and complete the military duties assigned every year.
Liang Ruyan and Xu Qianying applied to join the Yuehe Immortal City Defense Force. Shi Chen would then find a way to transfer them to the West Gate Guard Area and place them under the sect's jurisdiction.
Shi Chen's military merits have reached more than 150,000, plus Liang Ruyan's more than 30,000, and Xu Qianying's over 10,000, totaling 200,000 military merits. He has already applied to the military affairs department to exchange for the recipe for the Infant Transformation Pill.
To practice the pill formula, they need to go to Linyang Immortal City, so they will leave half a month in advance. They have already completed the military affairs of Anhe Immortal City and have been refining military affairs for two years in advance. Therefore, the Lord of Huoyan City had no excuses for his departure and applied for approval at one time.
The Fire Tribe leader wanted to hold a farewell banquet, but Shi Chen quickly refused and directly invited Huo Yan and Huo Wei to his cave residence for a banquet to thank the Huo Lie Tribe for their care.
He personally cooked twelve dishes. There were only six people at the banquet, three from Shi Chen's side, Huo Yan with a deputy city lord, and Huo Wei.
"I know that Master Shidan likes quietness and doesn't like noise, so I only brought two people with me. I hope Master Shidan won't mind!" Huo Yan said politely.
"No, no, we are so happy that Lord Fire City has come. How could we be surprised? Please take a seat!" Shi Chen said kindly.
The banquet was quite good and everyone was having a great time. After three rounds of wine and five dishes, everyone had a great time chatting with each other.
Huo Yan thanked Shi Chen for his timely assistance in helping the Huo Lie clan refine the much-needed elixir. He expressed his gratitude to Shi Chen and, on behalf of the Huo Lie clan, stated that his friendship with Shi Chen would last forever. He invited Shi Chen to visit the Huo Lie clan in the Chiyan Continent after the war.
Shi Chen was deeply grateful and declined the invitation to visit the Huo Lie Clan after the war. The reason was simple: he had been away from the clan for several years and needed to return first. He could only promise to visit the Huo Lie Clan on the Chiyan Continent when he had some free time.
After the banquet, the two sides also reached a verbal agreement that as long as Shi Chen’s request was reasonable, the Huolie clan would support it.
Shi Chen also said that the Huolie clan needed to refine elixirs, and he could send people to his base to refine elixirs for the Huolie clan first.
Three days after the banquet, Shi Chen took his two Taoist companions and left Anhe Immortal City, boarding the teleportation array and heading to Linyang Immortal City.
He will stay in Linyang Immortal City for three months, during which time he will mainly study the refining of the Infant Transformation Pill and become certified as a fifth-grade alchemist.
Once I can refine the Infant Transformation Pill, I will go to Yuehe Immortal City to take up a position. By then, my status and identity will be incomparable to that of the current fourth-grade alchemist.
