This guy has a pretty sturdy body... Fen blushed, slowly pushing the syringe and injecting the medicine into Chen Qi's body, drop by drop.
Ouch! Chen Qi clenched his teeth, enduring the pain.
Soon, a conspicuous small blood hole appeared on his back.
Fen's medical skills were much more brutal than he had imagined... Chen Qi was taken aback, almost forgetting that Fen's profession was a pharmacist, not a professional doctor.
"Don't move—"
As she spoke, Fen forcefully supported Chen Qi's head with her hand, lifted his head, and poured a bottle of green potion directly into Chen Qi's mouth.
Gurgle, gurgle—
Her method was extremely rough, occasionally hitting the kidney area.
Such fierce force!
If it weren't for Fen, Chen Qi might even suspect that she was an unlicensed Black Doctor craving for his kidneys.
She then took out a new anesthetic and continued the injection.
With the injection of the anesthetic, Chen Qi closed his eyes, and his body's sensations gradually diminished.
Since he couldn't resist, he might as well enjoy...
Chen Qi no longer resisted the pain.
Then she took out another topical potion and applied it to the parts burned by the black thunder.
Next came the injections of various potions.
Fen was not a professional doctor and lacked tools for treating serious internal injuries; her treatment method was potion conditioning.
Essentially, it involved injecting potions to achieve a therapeutic effect.
After the surgery, an exhausted Fen handed Chen Qi his clothes and stood up tiredly, feeling an indescribable sense of accomplishment:
"How do you feel, does your body feel comfortable now?"
Is it finally over?... Chen Qi opened his eyes, stood up, and wiped off the green liquid at the corner of his mouth.
His body was gently lifted by a warm force, all the heaviness and discomfort were slowly dissipating, and the pains that kept him awake at night and tossing and turning now seemed blurred and distant, as if enveloped in a soft mist, no longer sharp and unbearable.
"Very comfortable, it would have been better if it were a bit gentler—"
Chen Qi said.
"It was already quite gentle."
Fen blossomed with happy little yellow flowers on her head, and the gloom on her face swept away:
"However, Qi, I'm not a professional doctor; this was just basic surgery. For a complete recovery, you'll still need some time with potion conditioning. By the way, your Sea Beast Disease is a hidden danger, and now that your physique can undergo flesh surgery, you'd better find a professional doctor..."
"Thank you."
Fen smiled happily and handed Chen Qi some green potions:
"Take your medicine on time. It will take at least two weeks for a complete conditioning. During this period, you'd better not initiate any release or use moves harmful to your body."
Two weeks without fighting... Chen Qi frowned and accepted the potions:
"Understood."
After dealing with Chen Qi's physical issues, Fen took a deep breath, finally remembering Chen Qi's matters.
Why was Chen Qi here? What had happened when they parted? She hadn't asked him these questions yet.
Fen curiously asked Chen Qi about the events.
"It's a long story."
Chen Qi told her about how he and the White Tower Hunters went to Blue Fire Island and eventually defeated Bonfire Energy Company's Exploration No. and ultimately seized the Deep Blue Flame and the Deep Sea Treasure.
Fen listened, surprised little black flowers popping up over her head!
She was here picking mushrooms, picking flowers, while Chen Qi's team was actually battling with Bonfire Energy Company!
For a moment, Fen didn't know whether Bonfire Energy Company was too weak, or if the White Tower Hunters were too strong, or maybe Chen Qi was too strong.
Fen sniffed, and at this moment, she was surprised to find that Chen Qi's Spirit Power Field had grown stronger since they parted!
Such a rapid increase in strength, even in resource-rich seas like the Crack Tide, was extremely rare!
Could Qi be a more talented genius than me? Could Qi now be stronger than me? Fen was somewhat surprised:
"Qi, that means you've got the Deep Sea Hunter's treasure."
"Yes, one of them is the Lake Sword, which I've already assimilated, and the other is the Deep Sea Hunter's chest, but I haven't yet been able to crack the ciphertext lock on it."
Chen Qi said, taking out the Deep Sea Hunter's little chest.
Given his and Fen's relationship, besides Deep Sea Affinity, there was no need to hide anything from Fen.
Fen's eyes flashed with curiosity:
"Ciphertext lock, can you show it to me? My teacher taught me some ways to crack ciphers..."
"Oh? Fen, you can do that too?"
Chen Qi was suddenly surprised and handed over the chest.
Fen received the treasure box and translated the ciphertext on it one by one:
"To smear this treasure box with one liter of great whale blood and then to burn the box with deep blue fire will open this treasure box..."
So that's how it's fully opened... Chen Qi took back the box, lost in thought.
He had the deep blue fire, but the great whale blood, which was Black Whale Blood, he did not have enough.
The Black Whale Blood they had obtained earlier had been largely used by Fen for experiments.
He could only get some new great whale blood... Chen Qi asked:
"Fen, did you get any fresh Black Whale Blood during your adventures?"
"No..."
Fen said dejectedly.
"It looks like we'll have to go get some."
Chen Qi planned.
The Black Whale Blood, commonly found in mutated pitch-black sea beasts, would drive any sea beast fully infected with it completely mad.
Although there were quite a few sea beasts infected with Black Whale Blood, coming across these creatures still required a lot of luck.
Fortunately, he now possessed Deep Sea Detection, which greatly improved his ability to find mutated creatures in the vast ocean.
This guy, he must not be thinking about my matters, but rather how to get Black Whale Blood... Fen knocked on Chen Qi's head with her little fist, saying:
"Hunting creatures infected with Black Whale Blood is very dangerous! Plus, your wounds haven't healed yet, don't be reckless. You must rest quietly, come with me."
Fen took a lantern, leading Chen Qi to her small hideout on the Dragon Flower Islands.
"Okay."
Helping Fen advance to become a legend was also his goal.
Chen Qi thought it over, he might as well rest for a while, here and help Fen gather some rare medicinal herbs.
...
...
Seven days later, on a nameless island of the Dragon Flower Islands.
Under the comfortable sea breeze, Fen and Chen Qi were collecting herbs.
Standing by the coast, Chen Qi picked a Sea Blue Flower from the shore and handed it to the Deep Sea Water Elf No.1 behind him.
"I have finally gathered them all. With Fen's daily applications of medicine, my body has also nearly fully recovered."
Chen Qi wiped the sweat from his forehead.
In those days, thanks to the new medicine made by Fen, his injuries had healed, and his physical condition had improved by 5 points.
He then lightly stepped onto the surface of the water, his inspiration spreading far into the sea.
Amidst countless schools of fish, a Sword Shark emanating terrifying dark spiritual power caught his attention.
"I've finally caught you..."
Chen Qi smiled excitedly and silently tossed out an Extraordinary Fish Bait.
Against his expectations, over the past months, these sea beasts soaked in Black Whale Blood had completely lost their sanity, turning into unfeeling killing machines that slaughtered anything in sight, incessantly pursuing delicious food.
Even the Deep Sea Affinity had a hard time functioning against sea beasts completely tainted by Black Whale Blood and the moon's influence.
At the lure of the fish bait, in an instant, the Black Sword Shark noticed him, speeding through the sea like a rocket, charging toward Chen Qi.
Clang—
A flash of cold light!

With a swift draw of his sword, Chen Qi cleanly sliced the Black Sword Shark before him into two halves.
This Black Sword Shark's body was too weak, even after contamination, it only had the strength of a Second Rank Transcendent.
"Delivery right to my doorstep..."
Chen Qi crouched down and extracted the fresh great whale blood from inside the Sword Shark.
It was finally time to open the box!
Excitedly, Chen Qi held the small treasure box in his hands, smeared the Black Whale Blood onto the Deep Sea Hunter's small treasure box, and then ignited it with deep blue fire.
Pfft!
Quickly, the whole treasure box rapidly caught fire!
And the box, like a seashell, slowly opened...
"What is it?"
Chen Qi was excited, and Fen, watching from a distance, also looked over curiously.
The next instant, a burst of blue light emerged—
Then, from within the box, dozens of giant tentacles stretched out, tightly wrapping around Chen Qi's head.
"Ah?"
Fen, from a distance, was stunned.
