"You came up with the herbs and the recipe. I just helped to mix it. Not only did I learn a new potion, but I also got to try different styles. It was very satisfying for me." As he said that, he handed two bottles of potion to Will.
"How about this, Brother Lin? I will accept one of the bottles. This bottle will be considered as my reward for asking you to prepare the medicine. Is that okay with you?" Will asked cautiously. A bottle of medicine is valuable, but the friendship of a pharmacist is more valuable.
"Okay," he said, taking the potion from Will's hand and handing it to Jia. "Take it. I know you guys really need it."
"It's too expensive. I don't have that much money!" Jia said softly with her head down.
He grabbed her hand and stuffed the potion into her hand: "Don't forget that it was you and Master Barto who saved me. This little thing is nothing. Let's buy some more herbs and I'll make you a bunch of potions until you finish them!"
"Thank you, Brother Xingchen! Thank you..." Jia's tears fell. This bottle of blood potion was too important to her.
"Don't be too busy thanking me! You want to try this potion? According to the recipe, it can improve the demon blood in your body and help the demons complete their evolution. Try it and see how effective it is."
At the urging of Barto and others, Jia drank the whole bottle of potion in one gulp. About three minutes after drinking the potion, Jia began to react.
A purple-red flame burned from her body. According to the formula, these flames would not burn clothes but only burn blood. Soon, the flame on Jia's body became stronger and stronger.
From a distance, Jia looked like an angry Super Saiyan, wrapped in a ball of fire, in pain and covered in sweat.
Fortunately, Lin Xingchen had more drinking water than she could finish, so he kept bringing her water, thus avoiding the possibility of her fainting from dehydration.
The burning lasted for about an hour and a half, and the tiny devil's tail behind Jia slowly shortened and became thinner until it disappeared.
Even the two small horns on his head had shrunk by about one third. Lin Xingchen didn't feel anything, but the eyes of the people present became eager, and some people murmured something like an hour and a half.
"Thank you, Brother Xingchen..." Before she could finish her words, Jia started crying again.
"Let's go home. We can talk again when we get home sometime!"
"Brother Lin, I wonder if I can invite you to my house?" Hearing that Lin Xingchen and others were leaving, Will hurriedly invited them.
"It's late today, we have to go back first. Come see me in two days! I also have something I want to talk to you about." Lin Xingchen told him the name of the small village, and then went home with the villagers.
There were quite a few people following along the way, but Lin Xingchen didn't care much. Although he hadn't fully recovered yet, it was still easy to deal with these miscellaneous soldiers who were not even at the ninth level.
After lunch, Barto pretended that he had something to talk to Lin Xingchen about, but in fact he just wanted to confront him.
"Little guy, can you tell me honestly where you are from?" The old man asked with narrowed eyes, blowing out a smoke ring.
"To be honest with you, I am not from your demon world, but from another place!" Lin Xingchen did not finish his words at once.
"You come from the abyss in front of the demon world?" The old man looked as if he knew it.
"Master, can't I be from the world of Esdro?"
"Hmph... don't test me! Little guy, whether you are from the abyss above the demon world or from the human world, it doesn't matter to me! It's nothing new for people from your human world to appear in the demon world, it's just that some people are looking for death, which gives us more topics to talk about."
"Why are you here? Can you tell me?" The old man said that he didn't care, but he still asked a few tentative questions.
"Master, you have seen my situation. I was accidentally caught in the space turbulence while fighting with others and came here."
"I've actually been worrying about how to get back to my own world for some time!" What Lin Xingchen said must be correct. After he came to the Demon World, the positioning space mark he left behind could no longer be sensed.
"Boy, if you can leave, take Jia with you! The demon world is too disappointing for her. Maybe she can start a new life in another place."
"If I can leave that day and she is willing, I don't mind taking her away." The following conversation was basically Lin Xingchen asking questions.
Barto responded fluently and taught him all the knowledge he knew, most of which was the basic knowledge about potions, herbs, etc.
Just as the two were chatting, Lin Xingchen threw a water ball towards the distance, and the water ball hit the target directly. A sound of "ouch" was heard, and Lin Xingchen appeared in front of them.
"Little guys, what do you want to do after following me for so long?" Looking at the two devilish little girls, Lin Xingchen asked with a deliberately stern face.
"Hey...Brother Xingchen, you are here too! I was just about to tell you that Xia and Ellie are planning to come and live with me!" Jia's happy voice told Lin Xingchen why these two little devils appeared here.
Looking at the two little guys, Lin Xingchen just wanted to ask them where they got the Abyss Orchid!
Looking at the older girl, he asked, "Little girl! Can you tell me where you got that flower?"
"Uncle! If I tell you, will you not chase us away?" Xia said timidly.
"Even if you don't tell me, I won't chase you away. First, because I am only living here temporarily. Second, I don't have the right to chase you away. If you don't obey or cause trouble for everyone, then I guess everyone will chase you away."
"Don't worry, uncle. We are very good and can do a lot of things!" As soon as the elder one finished speaking, the younger one nodded quickly: "Yes, uncle, I am very good and can do a lot of things!"
"Okay, Brother Xingchen, don't scare them anymore. As long as you two behave well, no one will chase you away." Jia's warm eyes looked at the pair of sisters with indescribable happiness in her eyes.
I don’t know if it was what he saw and heard at the market today that aroused Lin Xingchen’s interest. He cooked dinner himself. As he was in a hurry and didn’t have any delicious dishes to prepare, he planned to make dumplings.
It just so happened that the two girls said that they were able to work and that was just what they needed. The two children had a lot of fun watching the snow-white flour being made into dumplings with just a few pinches in their hands.
Looking at the flames on the magic stove, Lin Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the magic was not isolated and could still be used. Although the three girls, one big and two small, could not understand what it was, it did not prevent them from knowing that the ability to make flames appear out of thin air was not something that ordinary people could do.
Seeing the two little girls eating so much, Lin Xingchen ignored them and said, "Jia, there is a big bowl of dumplings here. Take it and give it to Uncle Barto to try! I am making some other things for you to eat."
Looking at the remaining dumplings, Lin Xingchen doubted how much these two starving girls could eat. It was too late to make dumplings, so he could only make some hand-rolled noodles.
"Brother Xingchen! Can you please teach me some martial arts?" Jia, holding a bowl of noodles, asked Lin Xingchen who was cutting noodles.
"I can't stay here for too long, so there's not much I can teach you. If you really want to learn, I'll teach you some simple basics after we finish eating."
"Thank you, Brother Xingchen!"
"Don't thank me. If anyone should thank you, it should be me. If you hadn't dragged me back here, I wouldn't know whether I would be alive or dead!"
Lin Xingchen felt helpless looking at the three people in front of him, but there was not much difference between one sheep and three sheep.
"Before I teach you, I want to test your talents. Although you demons are generally known for your curses and negative spells, I want to try to see if you can learn elemental magic.
I will first teach you how to meditate to feel the existence of elements. If any of you don't have a talent for magic, you can only switch to learning combat spirit.
The three people who studied hard under Lin Xingchen's teaching were also very serious. It is difficult to say clearly about aptitude. Some people can do it just fine, while for others it is a waste of time no matter how you teach them.
"Ellie, you need to practice the meditation I taught you every night. I'll check on you every few days. If you're lazy, you don't need to come back to me!"
"As for the two of you, I will teach you fighting spirit tomorrow morning. Perhaps that is your future."
Although Jia and Xiuya were disappointed, they became more motivated when they heard that they would learn fighting spirit tomorrow. The youngest girl, Ellie, was silently practicing what Lin Xingchen taught her.
"Battle Qi and magic power are both a kind of power cultivated from the body. The difference is that magic power is used to communicate with the outside world, while battle Qi is your means of controlling the outside world. Although the meanings sound similar, the final results are very different."
“I’ll teach you the most basic ones first and then you can learn slowly. If you don’t understand anything, you can ask me directly!” Lin Xingchen was not a good teacher. The two of them were often scolded to tears because their movements were not up to standard.
Seeing that the two of them still couldn't learn with his teaching method, Lin Xingchen had no choice but to use his father's teaching method.
The pain of being beaten in actual combat is very memorable, so after changing their mindset, the two made much faster progress, but they also had more scars from being beaten with small bamboo sticks.
On the third day, Will drove a carriage to the location of the small village. This time he invited Lin Xingchen to be his guest. Lin Xingchen did not refuse because as a local boss, Will had the information and knowledge he needed.
He told them that he would be back in three days at the least to check on their work, and then he got on the carriage with Will and headed straight for the lord's mansion.
The Will family gave him the highest courtesy. The whole family was waiting for him at the gate, which was the highest courtesy in the demon world.
After some polite talks, Lin Xingchen agreed to stay. Will's father opened the library for him to browse at will, and Lin Xingchen reciprocated by agreeing to help him prepare a few bottles of blood potion.
