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

What about the flames of those legendary fire-type Pokémon?

Tan Xiaoshi's heart stirred slightly as he calculated the worst-case scenario of choosing to cultivate the Burning Technique—only consuming the bone spirit cold fire that he already possessed.

This at least ensures that the cultivation technique can reach around the mid-level of the Profound Rank, which isn't bad.

The lower limit is slightly low, but the upper limit is extremely high.

Then... let's choose this one!

He was not an indecisive person, and with this in mind, he made a decision immediately.

As for how to find those legendary fire-type spirits, that's not something I can worry about right now.

He believed in his own will, and that even if he lost his memories of the more than sixty years he spent in that world, he would still be able to stand at the pinnacle of this world.

Chapter 305 Isn't the purpose of having a brain to fill in the blanks? (9k)

(This chapter has been revised)

The sandstorm that swept across the entire area deep in the desert finally stopped.

With improved visibility, Xia Chen no longer needed to use his mental energy to search for the iron tracks, allowing Leighton to search with his naked eye.

Although the Hong Kong Desert is vast, under the extremely fast-flying search of Guleton, nothing can escape its grasp.

After the sandstorm stopped, the large iron tracks that made even more noise were quickly discovered by Guleton.

Without saying a word, he adjusted the angle, and Leighton, carrying Xia Chen and Papa, swooped down.

Upon closer inspection, Xia Chen was even more amazed by the appearance of the iron tracks.

Its metallic fangs gleamed coldly in the sunlight, and its face, resembling an electronic screen with pixelated eyes, all highlighted its strangeness.

At first glance, it doesn't look like a spirit that could be born in nature.

It's no wonder that the idea that "iron tracks are alien-made technological weapons" has been circulating.

Xia Chen looked at it and felt something was strange. It was very advanced, but on the other hand, it was quite backward.

Its advancement lies in its ability to perfectly blend elves and technology, while its backwardness lies in the fact that despite having such technology, the details of its face and eyes are so blurry that it looks like something from decades ago.

Xia Chen inexplicably recalled the science fiction movies he had watched in the last century. People's imagination of future technology was probably like this: both advanced and backward.

While pondering, Guleton was already very close to the ground, and the huge creature that exuded danger noticed the sudden attack of Guleton. It shrank its body and entered the [Rolling Wheels] mode.

The energy was converted into fuel and propelled backward, with the steel rollers rushing straight toward Guleton, which was suspended two or three meters in mid-air.

This is because Leighton deliberately lowered the position so that it could hit it. If it flew too high, the iron tracks would probably run away as soon as it saw it.

Fortunately, it didn't seem to be very bright and failed to realize that this was a ploy by Guleton to lure it into fighting.

The iron wheel sped by, kicking up clouds of dust that covered the sky like another sandstorm, looking extremely fierce.

So Leton leaned back slightly, setting down the two people and the elf sitting on him.

Standing up, Leighton stood as still as a mountain, then threw a seemingly ordinary punch at the iron rut that was a size larger than himself.

boom--

After a loud crash, the roller came to a sudden stop, unable to move forward even half a step.

…………

The battle process doesn't need much explanation. Just like the last time we fought the Flying Treasure Master Stone Bird, after playing with the Iron Tracks for a while, Guleton defeated the Iron Tracks to the point where they had to find the Secret Plant.

Turning back, he picked up Xia Chen and the others who were watching the show from behind, and then Leton chased after the rolling iron wheel.

The Sour Flavor Secret Plant grows in a very harsh environment, without any decent shelter nearby, only two huge rocks that don't look like they were naturally placed there.

It must have been the iron tracks that were moved here to cover up the secret, and this self-deceiving behavior made Xia Chen doubt its intelligence even more.

It's even worse than its own Rotom; is this really something that could be created in the future...?

At this moment, the creature whose intelligence Xia Chen had questioned was lying calmly by the flower field. Its pixelated eyes behind its long nose, which resembled tank treads, had turned into two red X's, a sign that it had lost its ability to fight and had fallen into a coma.

Ignoring the guy, Xia Chen first collected the secret sour plants.

Unbeknownst to him, the tiny Charcoal Servant at his feet was gazing at the pale yellow flower field with a look of astonishment.

As a veteran alchemist with nearly sixty years of rich experience, Tan Xiaoshi knows almost all the medicinal herbs known in that world.

Although the world has changed and the entire cultivation system has changed, what remains unchanged is his experience, his rich experience in pharmacology.

Although he hadn't tasted the herb himself, Tan Xiaoshi could tell from its aroma alone that it had other important effects.

This is an excellent medicinal material for relieving fatigue and healing injuries.

With the right materials, Tan Xiaoshi is confident that he can refine a sixth-grade elixir.

Is this human's purpose in coming here for this medicinal herb?

Is he also an alchemist?

The moment the thought crossed Tan Xiaoshi's mind, he saw Xia Chen pick a few of the plants, then take out a stone mortar from a storage ring-like sphere and crush them...

What are you doing?!

Charcoal Servant, who possessed the soul of a top-tier alchemist, was furious... or rather, heartbroken.

Doing this will only destroy the most natural medicinal effects of the herbs. Don't you have a cauldron for refining medicine?

As if he had heard Tan Xiaoshi's thoughts, Xia Chen immediately took out his alchemy cauldron—a large iron pot.

Mr. Tan: "..."

No, you're using such precious medicinal herbs as a seasoning?

The ingredients used are the most ordinary and common ones with no energy whatsoever.

Tan Xiaoshi was furious at Xia Chen's wasteful behavior, but he couldn't show it at all, so he could only turn away to avoid seeing it.

Tired, let's destroy it...

…………

"Alright, alright, I made a lot this time, everyone come and have some!"

With Xia Chen and Gardevoir's increasingly skillful teamwork, it wasn't long before several dishes, carefully prepared with sour seasonings, were served on the makeshift table in the desert.

This time, the secret plant has a sour taste, a flavor widely used in Donghuang cuisine, and is even hailed as the king of the five flavors.

Aged vinegar, white vinegar, plum, pickled vegetables, lime... there are so many seasonings used to create the sour taste in dishes.

The secret to its sour taste lies in the fact that the plant's acidity is extremely intense, yet it is very stimulating to the taste buds.

Dishes prepared with a variety of sweet and sour, spicy and sour flavors smell so appetizing.

The elves didn't stand on ceremony. After washing their hands briefly with the water sprayed by Milotic, they sat around the round table to prepare for their meal.

Only Tan Xiaoshi wasn't at the table, making him seem quite out of place.

"Bu-i~ (Charcoal Servant, come and eat too. You were just injured, eating something will do you good.)"

Xianbu greeted the guests with a smile.

Tanji was slightly taken aback. "Clatter? (Are you calling me?)"

This thing may not be considered a top-tier rare treasure, but it's still quite precious. I'm just a wild elf, so how could I possibly afford to eat it?

These humans and elves are quite magnanimous.

However, this stuff is good for me now, so I might as well eat some and repay them later.

Thinking this, Tan Xiao, the servant, readily went over to eat with them.

I have to say, although I dislike Xia Chen's way of handling medicinal herbs, the dishes he makes are really delicious.

The world of elves doesn't have as much fighting and killing; its pursuit of entertainment and gourmet food is far more advanced than that of the other world.

It's no exaggeration to say that, setting aside the limitations of ingredients, Xia Chen's culinary skills would be unparalleled in the world of chefs.

Tan Xiaoshi thought that if he were to travel to that world and make a name for himself, he could probably earn the title of "Master Chef".

However, no matter how delicious it is, processing medicinal herbs this way is still a waste...

Tan Xiaoshi let out a slight hiccup, wondering if he could find a way to exchange some of this medicinal herb with him.

…………

Having obtained and consumed all five secret seasonings, neither Leighton nor the Mastiff Godfather exhibited any extraordinary phenomena such as "radiating multicolored light and undergoing spiritual ascension."

Xia Chen drew a simple conclusion: the secret plant does not have a "set bonus effect".

Even so, after the meal, the Mastiff Godfather, who was almost fully recovered, returned to his healthiest state, so the effect of the meal was still not obvious.

In reality, only Guleton itself knows whether it is truly powerful or not. In the eyes of outsiders, it is already a legendary elf with unparalleled strength.

"Goulerton, how is your recovery going?"

Xia Chen always spoke his mind, and he directly asked about Gu Leton's health.

The giant lizard lay on the ground, digesting the food that was almost filling its stomach, and lazily replied, "It's alright, just so-so. It's still a long way from regaining its full strength."

Xia Chen sighed softly and did not reply.

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

The conversation between Xia Chen and Gu Leton greatly shocked Tan Xiaoshi.

Is this the state of this injured elf named Guleton, equivalent to the strength of a Dou Zun?

What kind of strength did it possess at its peak?

If it were placed in that world, its race would be no less powerful than the Ancient Void Dragon race, right?

Tan Xiaoshi was filled with shock, but his face remained calm as a lake. Unconsciously, his curiosity about Xia Chen and his group grew stronger.

Xia Chen was unaware of his ulterior motives, as he was discussing the iron tracks with Gu Leton.

"I'd like to ask him some questions about the future world he was in before he was summoned here. I hope you have no objection?"

Therefore, Leighton gave a strange smile and said, "I have no objection, do as you please."

Xia Chen glanced at it suspiciously, feeling that there was something wrong with the guy's smile.

Ignoring Guleton, Xia Chen still had Gardevoir and Milotic wake up the iron tracks.
