Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game.

"King Roaring Whale Saliva!"

"."

Tan Xiaoshi spoke very quickly, and Sai Fuhao's reaction was just as fast.

As the fruit and herbs on the table dwindled, the fire in Tan Xiaoshi's hands also grew smaller.

A strange, definitely not pleasant smell wafted from the clay pot.

Sai Fuhao curiously glanced inside, only to see that the original clear water and various ingredients had turned into a pot of dark green, viscous liquid.

The way it bubbled and gurgled was just like the voodoo potion brewed by a legendary witch.

Sai Fuhao: "."

Its gaze toward Tan Xiaoshi grew increasingly strange. Could this guy's cheat be making culinary disasters?

Is this thing really edible?

If Tanjiro told me that this stuff was just as effective as candy, should I try it?

…………

Tan Xiaoshi didn't let Sai Fuhao continue to hesitate. He withdrew the Bone Spirit Cold Fire and immediately jumped into the casserole.

Sai Fuhao was stunned. Was he going to perform a self-cooking act in an iron pot?

Do I need to deduct 666?

Or is it that Tan Xiaoshi himself is the final ingredient in this culinary disaster?

Sai Fuhao was completely baffled by Tan Xiaoshi's perplexing behavior from beginning to end.

Even among Xia Chen's team, which is full of eccentric characters, Tan Xiaoshi's performance was quite explosive.

"Click—(Thanks for your help. I'm all done here. If you don't want to watch me take a bath, could you please close the door behind you?)"

Charcoal Servant's tactful dismissal jolted the stunned and bewildered Rich Man Sai out of his daze.

Some of the little golden figures, still not quite understanding, nodded blankly, then left Charcoal Servant's room and returned to the living room where the elves were eagerly awaiting its return.

"Buyi? (How is it? Did you get any information?)"

Xianbu asked impatiently.

Sai Fuhao took a deep breath, "Thump! (What I'm about to say, don't be afraid!)"

The Pokémon exchanged bewildered glances, then Draco reassured Saifu, "Dragonki—(Don't worry, I'm a pseudo-legendary, I'm not afraid.)"

Sai Fuhao nodded and said, "Thump—(I saw Tan Xiaoshi cook a pot of soup that smelled really weird, and then use that soup to cook himself!)"

Doronchi: "."

He wasn't scared, but he actually wanted to laugh.

Fortunately, the elves had amazing self-control and kept it in place; not one of them laughed out loud.

Even so, the smile in their eyes was impossible to hide, and these similar looks annoyed Sai Fuhao.

What do you mean? Does nobody believe you when you tell the truth these days?

Despite the laughter, the elves were still willing to believe Sai Fuhao's words, since there was no need to lie about such things.

The well-informed Senbu speculated, "Bu-ee—(I've heard before that some people put certain things in their baths, supposedly for health benefits; Tanjiro might be one of them.)"

This explanation was much more plausible than the rich man's "stewing himself in an iron pot" story, and the other elves nodded in agreement.

Following this line of thought, Milotic asked, "Fuwoo? (But it lives in the scorching desert year-round, where there are hardly any fruit trees, how does it know so much?)"

The elves fell silent. Undoubtedly, the answer to this question was Charcoal Servant's "secret," and they had no way to continue exploring.

It would be impolite to delve any further.

"Buyi—(Alright, that's enough for now. We'll call it in for the next meeting.)"

Having satisfied their curiosity, the eldest sister, Senbu, eventually announced the end of the investigation.

…………

While the elves were discussing Tanjiro, Tanjiro was undergoing a transformation inside the room.

Inside the casserole, steam was continuously rising from Tan Xiaoshi's red body, and his face showed an expression of unbearable pain.

If it weren't for his extremely strong willpower, he probably would have already relieved his pain by roaring.

The pain did not come from the high temperature of the environment; as a fire-type Pokémon, this temperature could only be described as slightly hot.

What truly caused the pain was the powerful transformation of this frail body by the potent medicinal bath.

In addition, to maximize the effects of the medicinal bath, Tan Xiaoshi also absorbed the energy from the fire-type energy gem.

The flow of energy further enhances the drug's effects, doubling the level of pain.

According to the body's self-protection mechanism, a normal elf would have already fainted from the pain by now.

However, Tan Xiaoshi's mental strength was extremely powerful compared to his physical strength, and he managed to remain conscious throughout the entire medicinal bath.

Although it did hurt more, Tan Xiaoshi's absorption of the medicinal bath was surprisingly good in the end.

Two hours later, feeling that only dregs remained in the pot, Tan Xiaoshi finally stopped absorbing the medicine.

After lying in the pot for a while, it jumped out of the pot and then ran to the tap to rinse off the medicinal bath residue.

While taking a cold shower, Tan Xiaoshi reviewed his first time making medicine since arriving in this world.

Overall, it's no exaggeration to describe it as "quite smooth".

Aside from the fact that battle qi has been replaced by energy, which takes some getting used to, everything else is pretty much the same and can be easily adapted.

In this way, one of his most important assets, alchemy, can also shine in the elven world.

The first medicinal bath was quite effective. Although it didn't significantly improve actual strength, it was excellent for solidifying the foundation and building up the body.

To use the terminology of that world, it's equivalent to a complete overhaul.

After soaking in this medicinal bath for another seven days, the process will be complete, and you can begin practicing the Burning Technique.

After turning off the tap, Tan Xiaoshi suddenly became lost in thought.

If he hadn't left the Honghong Desert with Xia Chen, he would have faced countless hardships on his own to gather these precious fruits and medicinal herbs, not to mention what would have happened afterward.

He remembered those people from that world who had helped him when he was down on his luck.

The little princess of Demon Saint Valley, her master Han Shanshan

Sometimes, encountering a benefactor in your life can truly influence the trajectory of your life.

In this world, Xia Chen is the benefactor in my life, isn't he?

…………

Xia Chen had to leave the Padiya region before he could let Tan Xiaoshi soak in the medicinal bath for seven days.

Even the thickest book, "The Book of Zhu Zi," has its limits. After Xia Chen repeatedly flipped through it, he was able to remember almost every symbol on the page, even if it was just random scribbles.

Although the author of this book, Hai Zhe, is a riddle maker, Xia Chen still gained a lot of useful information from the book.

One of the most important points is that many paradoxical spirits do not actually exist, but are imagined by Hezer himself.

In layman's terms, the image of the spirit in the Book of Zhu Zi came first, and then the paradoxical spirit appeared.

This is a very unusual thing. Could it be that Haizhe is a great prophet who can accurately predict what elves look like that he has never seen before?

Or perhaps the mysterious Third God of Padia appeared to him in a dream, and the image of the paradoxical spirit was imprinted in his subconscious, which Heize then drew after he woke up.

He thought it was imagination, but it was actually memory?

This possibility cannot be ruled out, but Xia Chen has a bolder conjecture.

Is it possible that this is the legendary disc-shaped spirit, created from Heize's imagination?

He admitted that such an idea was really bold, because it would mean that the power of the third god of Parthia was too great.

The ability to open a spacetime portal has been transformed into the creation of spirits, which surpasses the abilities of all "first-level gods" in the conventional sense of the previous life, second only to the creator god Arceus.

But this bold conjecture can explain many things that were originally inexplicable. The reason why the iron track is full of contradictions is because it is Heizer's own imagination of the mechanical armor.

For people more than a hundred years ago, having such imagination was already a remarkable achievement.

However, it cannot be denied that such imagination has the limitations of its time and is simply not a product of technology a thousand years from now.

…………

So, is that legendary spirit, who looks like a disc, able to turn people's fantasies into reality?

The period of coma described in Heizhe's book was the process by which the legendary spirit materialized his imagination.

It makes sense, but it doesn't make perfect sense.

For example, the book clearly records that when the expedition team first entered the bottom of the giant pit, they encountered an attack by the majestic tusks of the ancient Doncas. Surely this couldn't have been imagined by Heizhe?

Moreover, if all the paradoxical spirits were constructed by that mysterious legendary spirit through Heather's imagination, then what is Leighton?

This question naturally came to Xia Chen's mind. He dared not think about it any further and even regretted reading the book.

If Gullardon is merely a spirit created through imagination, is it possible that it could suddenly and mysteriously disappear one day?

This thought, which sent chills down his spine, was truly terrifying, so Xia Chen quickly closed the absurd book.

He exhaled a deep breath and suddenly said to Guleton, who was gazing into the distance from the window, "Let's go back to Donghuang tomorrow. Let's not stay in Padia."

Although this is a completely unsupported conjecture, and although such behavior is somewhat self-deceptive, Xia Chen felt that if he stayed away from Padia, perhaps this kind of thing would not happen.

So Leighton turned around and asked curiously, "Why? What about Doron Messiah?"

Xia Chen shook his head in frustration. "I don't know. There are so many legendary elves in this world. Let's think about it later. Anyway, I don't want to go back to Padia anytime soon."

Therefore, Leighton stared intently at Xia Chen for a moment, then turned his head away, saying, "I understand. I'll listen to you."

As we entered mid-August, the weather became increasingly hot and unbearable, and even the refreshing breeze of Yunze Lake could not dispel the high temperatures on the island.
