Witch, I'm really not the Deep Sea Ancient God!

Chapter 113: Chapter 94: The Pale Medicine

The Flower Witch handed Chen Qi two vials of potion.

One was a white potion made from pale scale fruit, and the other was a potion exuding a green sheen.

It didn't look very appetizing. Chen Qi asked

"What kind of potion is this?"

"Flu medicine."

"..."

Chen Qi felt a warmth in his heart. He had almost forgotten about his flu

"Really... thank you."

Chen Qi drank the flu medicine, then held the white potion up to the light, examining it carefully.

The potion had a unique pale hue, different from ordinary white, carrying a faint cold glow, like moonlight reflecting off the water's surface.

As sunlight shone through, ripples began to form within the potion, as if endless life was surging inside.

An unprecedented prompt flashed before Chen Qi's eyes.

[Pale Scale Potion:

Nature Form: Cup, Lamp

Description: An extraordinary potion made with pale scale fruit as the core, blended with various herbs.

Effect: Significantly enhances inspiration, boosts physical constitution.

Note: The soul shines from within. Upon consuming this potion, your body will undergo a slight evolution.]

Chen Qi didn't hesitate and drank the potion in one gulp.

In an instant, a faint layer of light appeared before his eyes. Tooth-filled jellyfish floated by the horizon, the sun smirked and then opened its cold, illusory eyes, and numerous red-eyed arms emerged from the sea...

This felt like eating poisonous mushrooms!

Chen Qi closed his eyes, trying to adapt to this peculiar sensation.

The Flower Witch explained

"The pale scale fruit contains the power of the lamp. Using it directly can cause mental disturbance, but don't worry, the neutralizing herbs will take effect soon."

Then, the fantastical scenes before his eyes began to change.

The jellyfish turned into scantily clad jellyfish girls, the sun became a Teletubby, and countless withered arms made a "V" sign at him.

Is there a difference?

What kind of neutralizing herbs did you exactly add?

As time passed, the fantastical scenes in his mind gradually dissipated.

Chen Qi felt a hot sensation starting from his feet and rising to the top of his head, then opened his eyes again.

[Your constitution has increased by 7 points, your inspiration has increased by 12 points, and your intrinsic spiritual power has moderately enhanced.]

Many of his attributes were already nearing the peak of a First Order Transcendent, but he still managed to improve so much.

"It's not easy."

Chen Qi once again checked his attribute panel.

Thirty points in constitution, fifty points in inspiration, twenty-two points in agility.

Though they didn't seem high, these stats were already extraordinary for a novice transcendent!

Many second-tier transcendents had only around twenty points of constitution and thirty points of inspiration.

Thirty points in constitution marked an important milestone.

Reaching thirty points in constitution allowed for armor implantation surgery, preliminary mechanical ascension. Discover more stories at m,v l'e-NovelBin.net

He could practice legendary combat skills and begin the martial path, using his physical form to touch the heavens.

It also allowed for safe genetic enhancement and bloodline evolution.

Most importantly, it met the wearing conditions for the [Residual Fire Touch].

Fifty points in inspiration meant he could easily identify insights for D-level and lower cracks and learn many powerful detection skills!

And these attributes would get a small percentage increase when he advanced to second-tier.

With his current state, even if showered with blue-flamed machine gun fire, he could still be lively with qi power!

Feeling the power surging within his body, Chen Qi excitedly said

"Flower Witch, can you give me a punch?"

Qi power and constitution were now critical components of his defense.

Confidence!

Daylight broke, and he was ready for action!

Chen Qi wanted to test his current defense level.

How did it compare to the Flower Witch's punch?

A third-tier mage's punch was still within his acceptable range.

Besides, the Flower Witch's delicate fists, she shouldn't be good at close combat, right?

"Give you a punch? Really?"

It was the first time the Flower Witch had received such a bizarre request.

"Really."

Bang!

A crisp sonic boom echoed in the air!

Scorching smoke wafted from Chen Qi's abdomen.

The Flower Witch retracted her crimson little fist, apologetically said: "I only learned the most basic fist techniques. Was it okay?"

Although she was mainly a pharmacist, she knew a bit of everything.

Basic fist techniques? Are you sure that wasn't a sonic boom punch just now!

A man couldn't admit to being weak, but the pain left him unable to speak... Chen Qi felt momentarily muted, then, after a long silence, squeezed out two words

"Not bad..."

Chen Qi promptly turned his head, straightened his back, and wiped the corner of his bleeding mouth.

He needed more practice!

Indeed, without corresponding qi skills, attributes alone were far from sufficient.

Next, Chen Qi walked to the control panel and asked

"By the way, Flower Witch, where are you planning to go next? I need to head back to Moonstone City."

Having finished attending to the Flower Witch's matters, Chen Qi was ready to return to the city to upgrade his equipment and skills.

"To Moonstone City as well."

The Flower Witch had already thought about her future plans

"To advance to the fourth rank legendary realm, I must fully assimilate my pharmacology.

Next, I'm planning to collect medicinal herbs and complete the digestion of my transcendent occupation.

Then, I'll find a way to pass my mentor's trial.

Besides that, I want to search for relics like 'Meat Cutting Bone Breaking,' 'Sea Song,' 'Blade of Blood,' and 'Joyful Elf,' as well as info on the Deep Sea Hunter's treasure, to arm myself."

Aside from her magic wand, the Flower Witch's other equipment was quite ordinary.

"Meat Cutting Bone Breaking?"

Chen Qi asked curiously, having heard the term before.

The Flower Witch explained, "Yes, it's a weapon of the Deep Sea Hunter's nemesis. This monster merged with a sea beast and forged a monstrous weapon, causing countless tragedies.

But a century ago, this weapon was lost in a crack.

With the arrival of the crack tide, many lost relics will see the light of day again."

Relics... Chen Qi glanced at his backpack card.

In a way, his equipment, [Residual Fire Touch], was also a relic.

Then, the Flower Witch frowned

"But the most important thing is solving the money issue; I'm planning to sell a vial of Dragon Breath Potion at the pharmacy."

The Dragon Breath Potion was highly valuable and useful, something one would never sell under normal circumstances.

But the eternally stubborn Flower Witch was now poor and reluctant to take up a job.

Chen Qi's eyes lit up "Dragon Breath Potion, how much per vial?"

Why sell it to the pharmacy when he could buy it directly?

With the Black Clams and Ghost Fire Fish, he now had a steady income.

The Flower Witch, calculating her living expenses, travel costs, and potion-making materials, muttered

"Eighty thousand shell coins."

That was close to cost price, Chen Qi said "Deal."

Once again, they made a transaction.

Chen Qi took the potion.

[Dragon Breath Potion:

Nature Form: Cup

Effect: Temporarily grants minor dragon might and Dragon Charm. Both female and male dragons will find you appealing, and you'll experience a surge in spiritual power and a temporary boost in overall attributes.]

Spiritual power surge!

Chen Qi brightened.

Whether it was qi power or shadow power, it relied on the spiritual power in his blood.

A surge in spiritual power meant an enhancement in his qi power.

With a spiritual power surge, he could arm his entire body with qi power.

The Flower Witch rubbed her eyelids: "Well... Chef, I'm going to take a nap."

Extended traveling and potion-making had left her mentally and physically exhausted.

After a brief conversation, the Flower Witch hugged a Deep Sea Water Elf and fell asleep at the dining table.

As she closed her eyes, her lips curled slightly.

If it weren't for Chen Qi, she might have used her Flower Image Technique, 'Flowers Blossom in Blood,' against the Black Gloves.

Using it would have resulted in long-term side effects and subjected her to at least a month of bone-crushing pain.

Also, this mission severely injured the Black Gloves.

Such severe injuries, even for a Third-tier Transcendent, were unimaginable.

"Woohoo—"

The Flower Witch's small head sank into the cushiony body of the Deep Sea Water Elf, sleeping soundly.

The other Deep Sea Water Elves also closed their eyes.

Chen Qi watched this warm scene, smiling slightly.

He was also very tired, but as the captain, he had no time to rest.

He had to wait until he reached the shore...

Chen Qi steered the small cabin boat toward the distant Moonstone City.

The small cabin boat carved a white line across the blue sea.

Return voyage!
