Witch, I'm really not an ancient god of the deep sea!

Chapter 96 The Medicine for Pain
The Flower Witch handed Chen Qi two vials of medicine.

One tube contained a white potion made from pale scale fruit, and the other contained a potion oozing green oil.

"It doesn't taste very good," Chen Qi asked.
"What kind of medicine is this?"

"Cold medicine."

"..."

Chen Qi felt a warmth in his heart; he had almost forgotten about his cold.

"Really? Thank you very much."

Chen Qi drank the cold medicine, then held the white medicine in the air and examined it carefully.

The potion itself has a unique pale white color, which is different from ordinary white. Instead, it has a faint cold light, like moonlight falling on the water.

As the sunlight shone through, faint ripples began to appear inside the potion, as if infinite life was surging within it.

An unprecedented notification popped up in front of Chen Qi's eyes.

[The Medicine of Azure Scales:]
Sexual aspect: cup, lamp
Description: This extraordinary potion is made with the Pale Scale Fruit as its core ingredient, combined with various medicinal herbs.

Effects: Greatly enhances inspiration and improves physical fitness.

Note: The soul shines from within; upon taking this medicine, your body will undergo a minor evolution.

Without hesitation, Chen Qi drank the medicine down his throat.

In an instant, a faint light appeared before his eyes, jellyfish with sharp teeth flew across the horizon, the sun smiled and then opened its cold, illusory eyes, and countless arms with red eyes emerged from beneath the sea...

This feels like eating poisonous mushrooms!

Chen Qi closed his eyes, trying to adjust to the strange sensation.

The Flower Witch explained:
"The Pale Scale Fruit contains the power of the lamp. If used directly, it will cause mental confusion. But don't worry, the neutralizing medicine will take effect immediately."

Then, the fantastical scene before him changed.

The jellyfish transformed into a scantily clad jellyfish girl, the sun into a Teletubby, and countless withered arms flashed a peace sign at him.

Does it make a difference?
What neutralizing herbs did you add?

As time passed, the fantastical images in my mind gradually faded away.

Chen Qi felt the heat spreading from his feet to the top of his head, and then he opened his eyes again.

[Your constitution has increased by 7 points, your inspiration by 12 points, and your primal spiritual power has received a moderate increase.]

His attributes are already approaching the limit of a first-tier superhuman, yet he can still improve them by so much.

"It's not easy."

Chen Qi looked at his attribute panel again.

Constitution: 30 points, Inspiration: 50 points, Agility: 22 points.

Although it doesn't look high, for a newbie who has just entered the extraordinary realm, this attribute is already incredibly powerful!
Many second-tier superhumans only have a physical constitution of around 20 points and an inspiration of around 30 points.

A constitution level of 30 is considered a significant dividing line.

Once your physical fitness reaches 30 points, you can undergo armor transplant surgery and begin your initial mechanical ascension.

You can practice legendary martial arts, embark on the path of martial arts, and create your own destiny with your physical body.

It can also safely undergo genetic modification and flesh-and-blood evolution.

Of course, most importantly, he now meets the requirements for wearing [Touch of Ember].

With fifty points of Inspiration, in addition to being able to successfully identify any Inspiration Points from D-grade and lower rifts, he can also learn many powerful detection skills!
These attributes will receive a small overall percentage boost when he advances to the second tier.

Even if he were being riddled with bullets from a machine gun blazing with blue flames, he could still be full of energy with the help of his strength!
Feeling the power surging through his body, Chen Qi exclaimed excitedly:
"Flower Witch, can you give me a punch?"

Strength and physique are now important components of his defense.

confidence!

Daylight broke, and he was up again!

Chen Qi now wanted to test just how strong his defenses had become.

How does it compare to the fist of the Flower Witch?
The punch of a third-tier mage was still within his range.

Moreover, with those tiny, immature fists, the Flower Witch probably isn't good at close combat.

"Will you really punch me?"

The Flower Witch had never heard such a strange request before.

"real."

boom!
A crisp sonic boom echoed through the air!
Scalding steam billowed from Chen Qi's abdomen.

The Flower Witch withdrew her bright red little fist and said somewhat apologetically, "I've only learned the most basic fist techniques, is that alright?"

Although she is a simple pharmacist, she knows a little bit about everything.

Basic punching technique? Are you sure that wasn't a sonic boom punch?
A man can't say no, but when the pain is unbearable... Chen Qi felt a moment of speechlessness, and after a long silence, he managed to squeeze out two words:

"good……"

Chen Qi turned around in time, straightened his back, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

He needs more practice!

Sure enough, having attributes alone, without corresponding strength skills, is far from enough. Immediately afterward, Chen Qi walked to the control panel and asked:

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

Chen Qi has now finished dealing with the Flower Witch and is preparing to go to the city to upgrade his equipment and skills.

"It's also Moonstone City."

The Flower Witch has already foreseen the future:

"In order to advance to the legendary level of the fourth tier, I must fully digest my own potion-making skills."

Next, I plan to collect medicinal herbs and then complete the assimilation of my extraordinary profession.

Then, I will try to pass the test set by the teacher.

Besides that, I want to inquire about lost items such as the 'Flesh Cutter,' the 'Sea Harp,' the 'Blood Blade,' and the 'Joyful Spirit,' as well as information on the Deep Sea Hunter's treasure, to arm myself.”

Apart from her staff, the Flower Witch's other equipment is quite ordinary.

"Meat chopped into bones?"

Chen Qi asked curiously, having heard that word again.

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

But a century ago, this weapon disappeared into the crack.

With the arrival of the rift tide, many lost artifacts will see the light of day again.

Lost items... Chen Qi glanced at his backpack card.

In a sense, his equipment, 'Touch of Ember,' is also a lost item.

Then, the Flower Witch frowned:
"However, the most important thing is to solve the problem of not having money. I plan to go to the pharmacy and buy a tube of Dragon's Breath Potion."

Dragon's Breath Elixir is extremely precious and has immense uses; it is generally impossible to sell it.

But the stubborn Flower Witch is now poor and doesn't want to work.

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

Instead of selling it to a pharmacy, sell it to him!
Now that he has black clams and ghost fire fish, he can be considered to have a stable income.

The Flower Witch calculated her living expenses, travel costs, and the money for materials to make potions, and muttered to herself:

"Eighty thousand shell coins, I suppose."

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

The two reached another deal.

Chen Qi took the medicine.

Dragon's Breath Potion:
Sexual aspect: Cup
Effect: Grants a short-term boost to Dragon's Might and Dragon's Charm. Both male and female dragons will be drawn to you, granting you a surge of spiritual energy and a temporary increase in overall attributes.

Spiritual power surges!

Chen Qi's eyes lit up.

Whether it's physical strength or the power of shadows, it all depends on the spiritual power in one's own blood.

The surge of spiritual energy is equivalent to enhancing his physical strength.

With his spiritual energy surging, he could easily arm his entire body with his own strength.

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

The long hours of traveling and making potions had left her physically and mentally exhausted.

After a brief chat, the Flower Witch hugged a deep-sea spirit and fell asleep at the dining table.

The Flower Witch closed her eyes, a slight smile playing on her lips.

If it weren't for Chen Qi, she might have used her Flower Appearance Technique, 'Flower Blooming in Blood,' when facing the Black Gloves.

Once used, in addition to causing numerous side effects, she will once again face at least a month of excruciating pain.

Moreover, this operation also severely injured the man in black gloves.

Such severe injuries are unimaginable even for a third-tier transcendent being.

"Alas--"

The Flower Witch's little head sank into the deep-sea sea sprite, and she slept soundly.

The other deep-sea creatures also closed their eyes.

Chen Qi smiled slightly as he watched this heartwarming scene.

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

I can only sleep after I get ashore...

Chen Qi piloted his small houseboat toward the distant Moonstone City.

The small houseboat drew a white line across the blue sea.

Return home!
