The original repairer

Chapter 153 Separation

Shi Chen and Xu Qianying hid in a valley, which was about three hundred miles away from Bailang Immortal City. Liang Ruyan had already gone to Bailang Immortal City to inquire about the news.

Shi Chen meditated to heal his wounds, while Xu Qianying guarded him.

Three days later, Liang Ruyan returned to the valley.

"Have you found out anything?" Shi Chen stopped healing and asked.

Liang Ruyan said, "There haven't been any wanted notices issued against us in Bailang Immortal City, but the inspections of cross-sea flying boats are stricter than before."

"Is there any information about the battle situation in Dongzhizhou?" Shi Chen asked after thinking for a moment.

"Half a year ago, the Sirens captured Dongzhizhou. Since then, they have stopped invading and accepted negotiations with the human race. Many human cultivators were captured by the Sirens. Half of the human cultivators in the fusion stage who participated in the war died, and only less than ten managed to escape from Dongzhizhou." Liang Ruyan said with a slightly depressed mood.

"Is there any news about my sect, Qingxuan Sect? I wonder if Master and the others were able to escape from Dongzhizhou." Shi Chen asked worriedly.

"I specifically inquired about the people who escaped from Dongzhizhou. Only three of the four combined cultivators of the Qingming Immortal Sect escaped. They are now rushing to Bailang Immortal City with the Qingxuan Sect members. I believe they are going to retreat to Yuanling Continent first. However, I haven't been able to find out the specific members of the Qingxuan Sect who escaped with them. This is the general situation."

"Husband, should we wait for our fellow disciples to arrive and return to Yuanling Continent together?" Xu Qianying looked at Shi Chen and said.

"We can't wait. I still have the divine mark attached to me. If we leave together, if the situation changes, it will drag down my fellow disciples." Shi Chen thought for a moment and then said, "The same goes for you. After arriving at Bailang Immortal City, you will go back to Yuanling Continent ahead of me. I will take the next flying boat and leave."

"No!" Liang Ruyan and Xu Qianying said in unison, "We want to go with our husbands."

"Be good!" Shi Chen took Liang Ruyan's hand and said, "You and I have experienced life and death together, and you know my abilities. There are some secrets that I cannot reveal to you for the time being. When your cultivation level improves and you are strong enough to master these secrets, I will tell you. Don't worry, I have a way to save your life."

"No, I want to go with you." Xu Qianying hugged Shi Chen, her voice slightly choked.

"You'll have to be obedient too." Shi Chen put an arm around Xu Qianying's waist and said, "With you, it will be difficult for me to unleash my many tactics. You need to leave first so I can make some arrangements. If you're captured, it will become a hindrance to me."

"Then you must return to Yuanling Continent safely." Xu Qianying accepted the advice.

"Husband!" Liang Ruyan also hugged Shi Chen from behind and said, "Where should we wait for you when we get to Yuanling Continent?"

"Go back to Qingxuan Sect first. Ying'er knows the way. I guess it will be difficult for you to enter the sect. Rent a cave in the market outside the sect and wait for me. If I don't return to Qingxuan Sect after three years, you will go to Dutan Fairy City. Don't worry, I will be fine, but it may take some time to avoid the pursuit of the combined sea monster." Shi Chen ordered.

"Husband, we can't help you. We can only silently bless you. You must return to the sect safely and intact." Liang Ruyan was so distressed that she burst into tears.

Shi Chen held Liang Ruyan in front of him with one hand, gently wiped the tears from her face, and said, "Yes, I promise you, I will return safely."

The three of them hugged each other for a quarter of an hour before Shi Chen let them go. He handed them a storage bag and said, "Alright, we'll head to Bailang Immortal City right away and arrange for you to leave as soon as possible. I estimate the sea monsters chasing me will reach Bailang Immortal City in another month. Here, there are 100,000 low-grade spirit stones and some medicinal pills, enough for the two of you to cultivate for a year or two. Two Infant Transformation Pills and one Golden Yuan Pill are all prepared for you."

"Husband, you have given us so much, do you have any resources of your own?" Liang Ruyan said without taking the storage bag.

"Don't worry. I still have hundreds of thousands of low-grade spirit stones and spiritual medicines here. If you are short of pills, I will refine them myself. Take them quickly." Shi Chen said with a smile.

He placed the storage bag in Liang Ruyan's hand, pulled Xu Qianying aside and said, "You and the lady, wait for me to find you in Yuanling Continent."

A day later, the three separated outside the Immortal City. Liang Ruyan and Xu Qianying entered the Immortal City first. Half an hour later, Shi Chen entered alone.

According to Shi Chen's arrangement, Liang Ruyan and the others went straight to the flying boat dock after entering the fairy city. If they could catch the cross-sea flying boat taking off that day, they would take it and leave directly. If not, they would wait for the next one.

Shi Chenwan and her companions entered the fairy city in half an hour, and then went to inquire about the take-off status of the cross-sea flying boat and waited to board.

It just so happened that there would be a flying boat heading to Yuanling Continent in two days, and the other cross-sea flying boat that Shi Chen was going to take would not depart until half a month later.

Two days later, when the cross-sea flying boat set sail, Shi Chen went to the dock and stood among the crowd of people seeing him off, watching the flying boat gradually go away. He knew very well that it might take a very long time to meet his two Taoist companions, far more than the three years he mentioned.

Follow the crowd, leave the pier, wander around the fairy city for a few rounds, and then return to the fairy stack.

Now he has sealed his sea of consciousness and cannot use his spiritual sense.

It was impossible for him to refine the elixir without the help of spiritual consciousness. The success rate of only 30% to 40% made him feel sorry for the elixir.

Time flies, and fifteen days passed in a flash. Shi Chen wandered around the fairy city every day, either tasting delicious food or strolling around the major markets. He would buy any suitable spiritual medicine he saw. In the past ten days, he had harvested some good spiritual medicines.

After boarding the cross-sea flying boat, Shi Chen came to his own warehouse. As a Jindan cultivator, it was normal for him to live in a single warehouse, and it could also show his cultivation status. Usually, Jindan cultivators lived in a room alone.

It would take about a year to cross the Chaotic Sea. After Shi Chen entered his warehouse, he hung up a sign indicating he was in seclusion, set up restrictions, and began to enter the sea of consciousness to erase the attached spiritual mark.

More than three months later, the flying boat docked at an island port, needing to take some supplies and at the same time inquire about the recent situation in the Chaotic Sea.

Shi Chen stopped practicing and came out of seclusion, strolling around the port town.

This island port has both monks and ordinary mortals, and the products are mainly seafood. The products on land are much more expensive in comparison.

The flying boat docked for half a day, and Shi Chen also strolled around the port town for half a day, purchasing several spiritual objects that were only found in the ocean. These were used to refine pills, which would make the medicine more potent.

It took more than three months for only two layers of the spiritual imprint in his sea of consciousness to be erased. It would probably take another year to completely erase it. In recent days, he has been restless.

Judging from Shi Chen's many years of experience, this is the real body of the spiritual mark coming.

A huge threat is imminent. Perhaps in ten days, or perhaps a month, the owner of that divine consciousness will find him.

In the vast ocean, Shi Chen's cultivation level was only at the sixth level of the Golden Core Realm. He did not dare to travel alone in this turbulent sea, as the many powerful sea beasts in the sea could easily swallow him up.

The flying boat continued to sail for a month. One day, Shi Chen realized that the owner of the spiritual mark was very close, perhaps within a thousand miles.
