The original repairer

Chapter 139: Alchemist is a popular commodity

After Huo Liao left, Liang Ruyan came down from the second-floor apartment and looked at Shi Chen, who was wiping the sweat from his forehead. She said, "Husband, will the Fire City Lord use some tricks to prevent us from leaving Wangdao Fairy City?"

"That shouldn't happen. What I'm most worried about is that he will use the city defense forces to keep you here, which will make me hesitate to act rashly." Shi Chen said calmly.

Liang Ruyan said with some worry: "If that's the case, I might be detained here by him. When the time comes, my husband, please leave first and don't worry about me. It's better to be detained alone than with two people."

"Silly!" Shi Chen reached out and hugged Liang Ruyan, saying, "Why would I leave you here alone? I believe the Yanlie Clan wouldn't be so foolish. They just have some misunderstandings with me now, but it won't become an enemy. If they detained you, they would have animosity with me. And I deliberately brought up the alliance and the sect to remind the Lord of Fire City to weigh the pros and cons."

"Hmm," Liang Ruyan, whose neck was slightly pink as she sat on his lap, said shyly, "I'm afraid the Yanlie Clan will resist the pressure and detain my husband. Then we'll be trapped like a turtle in a jar, ready to be caught at any time."

"Don't worry. If it were in the Chiyan Continent, the territory of the Yanlie Clan, we would have no way to deal with it. Now the human race is facing a great enemy, and the negotiations with the Siren Clan have come to nothing. In the confrontation between the two, the alliance will not allow such problems to arise within the alliance. The Yanlie Clan cannot afford the wrath of the alliance." Shi Chen analyzed.

"I believe in my husband's analysis. We can definitely leave here." Liang Ruyan said firmly.

"Pack up, we will leave via the teleportation array in three days." Shi Chen patted Liang Ruyan's buttocks and said.

"There are still three days left. I'll clean up tomorrow." Liang Ruyan blushed slightly and said delicately, "My husband hasn't had a good rest these past ten days while waiting for the transfer order. Now I'm here to help him rest!"

The next day, Shi Chen felt refreshed. He watched Liang Ruyan, with her smooth complexion, cleaning up the cave. Shi Chen held the spiritual tea in his hand and savored its flavor carefully.

During the few years in Wangdao Fairy City, Shi Chen basically lived in seclusion and had few interactions with other cultivators. He had even rarely been to the Dan Palace where he worked. Therefore, after receiving the transfer order, no one came to see him off, and there was no farewell banquet. Everything was quite peaceful for three days.

Huo Liao and Huo Yao did not stop Shi Chen and Liang Ruyan from leaving, and the two of them passed through the teleportation array smoothly.

Shi Chen returned to Linyang Immortal City to receive his appointment. He applied to be stationed in Anhe Immortal City for one year and to be in charge of the Alchemy Palace in the Immortal City. After negotiation with the Huolie Clan, Shi Chen was stationed in Anhe Immortal City for one year to help the Huolie Clan refine a hundred furnaces of elixirs. The Huolie Clan rewarded him with ten portions of the Infant Transformation Pill.

Shi Chen exchanged 130 bottles of medicine for 15 Infant Transformation Pills. Together with the 15 rations he received from the coalition forces over the past three years and the 10 from the Yanlie Clan, he now had 50 Infant Transformation Pills in his hands. All he had left was the recipe.

Shi Chen still lacks a lot of military merit. He needs 200,000 military merits to exchange for the recipe of the Infant Transformation Pill, but he still needs 60,000 military merits.

He was not in a hurry. His cultivation was only in the middle stage of the Golden Core, and it would take about five years to reach the late stage. It would not be too late to develop the Infant Transformation Pill after he reached the late stage of the Golden Core.

Many sects in Yuanling Continent sent cultivators. The one who came from Qingxuan Sect was Elder Li Yangfei, leading the sect's three Divine Transformation cultivators, ten Nascent Soul cultivators, Golden Light, Foundation Establishment, and Qi Refining disciples, totaling 1,200 disciples.

Shi Chen needs to go to the sect’s headquarters to visit Elder Li and obey the sect’s arrangements.

Elder Li brought his sect disciples and stationed them in the first immortal city north of Linyang Immortal City, named Yuehe Immortal City.

In Yuehe Immortal City, there are cultivators gathered from various sects in Yuanling Continent, with a total of 30,000 cultivators stationed there.

However, the rule of Yuehe Immortal City is somewhat chaotic. There are too many sects, the situation is complicated, and no sect is willing to bow down to others.

Therefore, the sects stationed in Yuehe Immortal City are independent of each other.

More than 1,200 monks from the Qingxuan Sect are stationed at the west gate of the fairy city, in charge of three blocks.

One street is a shopping street, and the other two are cave alleys.

Now the leasing of shops and caves is managed by the Alliance Army, assisted by the city lords stationed by the Alliance.

The fairy cities on the second front are garrisoned by sects and clans from various continents, and the alliance orders are often just a decoration.

The Qingxuan Sect is only a second-class sect in the Yuanling Continent, and there are three major sects above it.

The top-ranked sect in Yuanling Continent is Qingming Xianzong. It has the largest territory and the most cultivators, over 200,000 in total, not including outer sect cultivators below the late stage of Qi Refining.

Yuehe Immortal City is led and garrisoned by the Qingming Immortal Sect, and the Qingxuan Sect is just a subordinate sect of the Qingming Immortal Sect.

Being in charge of the West City Gate is an idle job and a sign that one is not valued by the Qingming Immortal Sect.

Shi Chen brought Liang Ruyan to Yuehe Immortal City. They had to pay a visit to the City Lord's Mansion first before they could go to their own sect's headquarters.

Following the female cultivator who was receiving guests at the City Lord's Mansion, they came to a large hall and turned into the door of a side hall. After the female cultivator went in and asked the deputy city lord for permission, she let the two of them in.

"Greetings to Deputy City Lord Zhang!" Shi Chen and the other man bowed. On the way, Shi Chen had already asked the leading female cultivator about some information about the City Lord's Mansion.

"I already know the purpose of your visit. The Qingxuan Sect is stationed at the west city gate and is relatively idle. I wonder if Master Shi Dan is willing to stay in this city and contribute to my Yuanling Continent?" said the deputy city lord Zhang Qingwen.

Hearing that the deputy city lord wanted to keep him to serve for the greater good of the Yuanling Continent, Shi Chen felt a little alienated. He replied calmly, "If I had known that the sect was here and that all the cultivators from the Yuanling Continent were stationed in this city, I would have come here at the first opportunity and dedicated myself to contributing to the human race. However, a month ago, the alliance appointed me to Anhe Immortal City, in charge of the Immortal City Alchemy Palace, for a period of one year. Alas, I am really helpless. If the city lord can change the alliance's transfer order and transfer me to Yuehe Immortal City, I would be happy to do so."

Deputy City Lord Zhang Qingwen thought for a moment before smiling and saying to Shi Chen, "Since the Alliance's transfer order has already been issued, it's not easy for us to change it. This is only a one-year garrison, which will be over soon. When your garrison appointment expires, you can apply to be transferred to this city. You will still be in charge of the Dan Palace then."

Shi Chen was surprised to hear Zhang Qingwen's promise, but he felt relieved when he thought about the state of the alliance.

"Thank you, City Lord Zhang, for your kindness. When my term is over, I will apply to the alliance for a transfer. I will definitely apply to be transferred to Yuehe Fairy City." Shi Chen replied to Zhang Qingwen affirmatively.

Shi Chen brought Liang Ruyan out of the City Lord's Mansion. Liang Ruyan was a little puzzled. Even if they were cultivators from the same continent, there was no need to try to win over Shi Chen. Considering the situation of Shi Chen's sect, which was not taken seriously, but they were trying to win over Shi Chen. It was really confusing.

After walking a little further, Shi Chen saw Liang Ruyan with a puzzled look on her face. He took her hand and then explained softly in her ear.

The sects of the major continents rarely brought their own alchemists to support Dongzhizhou in the war against the sea monsters. One reason was that sect alchemists were scarce, and the other was that the resources used to support the war were all provided by Dongzhizhou or Dayu Continent.

Therefore, alchemists are important personnel that all major forces strive for. As a fourth-grade alchemist certified by the alliance, Shi Chen is a hot commodity.
