Chapter 77: Substitute for Past Prosperity: Fleeting Flash!
Substitute for Past Prosperity: Fleeting Flash!
The dead Void Whispering Tide continued to float up after swallowing everyone.
So when the players rushed out of the giant beast's stomach, they were not far from the water surface.
Under Cui Dingtian's rapid swimming, everyone was soon dragged out of the water.
"Splash—"
"Wow!"
"Huff huff!"
"Saved..."
The moment everyone emerged from the water, the old man immediately retracted his skin and sank to the bottom of the water, coughing violently.
Zhao Qian was quick-eyed and grabbed him.
"Old Man Cui!"
Su Yi Da hurriedly broke free, fearing that he would sink again with the old man.
Tao Yi frowned slightly when she saw it, and reached out to drive a piece of driftwood to float over and pad it under Cui Dingtian's armpit.
Cheng Shi didn't care about these. At this time, what concerned him most was that the heavy rain and giant waves that were so powerful a few hours ago were now nowhere to be seen.
As far as the eye could see, it was a vast ocean. Except for various floating objects and countless corpses of unknown creatures, there was no trace of dangerous natural disaster.
He looked around in surprise and asked in disbelief:
"Over?"
No one could answer this question.
Gao Yu also pulled a crossbar, padded it in front of his chest, and breathed a heavy sigh.
"Fortunately, it seems I still have a chance to celebrate my 18th birthday."
Tao Yi, who looked miserable, smiled bitterly and buried her body below her neck into the water.
At this time, nearly 20 hours had passed since the trial began.
The sun hung in the sky, emitting light and heat, roasting the sea surface, and also burning the skin painfully.
Everyone floated on the water and gasped for half a day before confirming that all this was not an illusion.
The disaster really passed.
Even if it was temporary.
"Cheng Shi, save people, Old Man Cui is not going to make it!"
Zhao Qian pushed a piece of driftwood and approached, his face a bit uneasy.
Cheng Shi frowned, feeling more and more that Zhao Qian's attitude towards Cui Dingtian was strange.
He was indeed very concerned about the old man, but except for helping when he could, he wouldn't give the old man an extra hand at other dangerous moments.
Could it be...
Forget it, don't think about this first, no matter what, it was Old Man Cui's credit that they could survive.
Cheng Shi hurriedly swam towards the old man.
The moment his hand touched Cui Dingtian's wrist, he found that the old man's state was really bad.
His heart was not beating violently after exhaustion, but beating slower and slower, as if the whole person was really going to become a mummy.
Is this the sequelae of his explosive divine power?
Or the price of his talent?
It's too serious.
In this situation, ordinary healing spells can only delay his death, not save his life.
Past prosperity might be useful, but the portable space has been locked, and this medicine is nowhere to be found.
Wait!
It's not nowhere to be found!
"Gao Yu!"
Cheng Shi held Cui Dingtian's hand tightly and shouted at Gao Yu:
"I need a medicine furnace! At least 15 cm, with grinding wheels, mixing devices, and superchargers, and it must be fire-resistant and high-temperature resistant!"
Gao Yu was stunned, and then nodded quickly.
His tool kit had long been pulled apart by the void in the giant beast's stomach, but the tools and materials inside were not lost.
Because he stuffed all these into his abdominal cavity!
He was using the consumption of flesh and blood to extend the time for the tools to dissipate!
These tools were his only reliance at hand. Once lost, the trial road ahead would be difficult to move.
So besides this stupid method, there was no other move.
I saw him frowning and gritting his teeth, using a sharp wooden branch to cut open his just-healed belly, and then took out things and hit them rapidly.
The specifications of medicine furnaces in the Star Fall Continent are similar, nothing more than the difference in materials and additional devices in the furnace.
Cheng Shi's requirements were very clear and explicit, and the materials were just enough to build a palm-sized furnace, so Gao Yu quickly hit it out.
The moment Cheng Shi got the medicine furnace, a strange light of "I'm going to bet big this time" flashed in his eyes.
Everyone saw his eyes and knew that Cheng Shi was crazy now, but also not very sure.
As for what he wasn't sure about...
Probably the matter of refining medicine on the spot?
"Can you refine medicine?"
Su Yi Da was a bit confused.
Gao Yu curled his lips after hearing this.
If Su Yi Da had listened to the whole process at that time, he would know that Cheng Shi was most interested in alchemy creations, and this school didn't just revolve around puppets, strange and dangerous drugs were also their tireless pursuit.
Cheng Shi's face was nervous, and he didn't respond to him.
"Everyone should have heard of Past Prosperity, an A-grade potion that combines the divine power of 【Memory】 and 【Prosperity】.
When I was learning to refine medicine, I once simulated its medicinal properties and refined a potion with very similar effects."
"You can refine A-grade potions???" Su Yi Da exclaimed in disbelief, and then immediately questioned, "But there is no 【Divinity】 here?"
Cheng Shi ignored his speech again.
"I named it 'Fleeting Flash'. Drinking this potion can cast aside all pain and immediately restore the body to its peak state!"
"But?" Zhao Qian seemed to have guessed something and continued with a frown.
"Hmm, but...
The potion has very strong side effects.
The injured person will fall into pain again after five days, and the speed of approaching death will be extremely accelerated!
In other words, this is a potion that overdraws vitality, you can understand it as a five-day flash of light."
After Cheng Shi finished speaking, he turned to look at Cui Dingtian.
"Old Man Cui, I know you are looking for your son, but there may still be hope if you live, but once you die here..."
Cui Dingtian's blurred consciousness was desperately resisting the arrival of death. His hand suddenly grabbed Cheng Shi back and squeezed hard.
Understood.
Cheng Shi didn't say a word, tore a piece of flesh from his arm, and put it in.
This operation shocked everyone.
"Refining medicine with flesh and blood?" Gao Yu was stunned.
"Otherwise? Flesh and blood is the material with the best medicinal properties. My flesh and blood contains the power of healing.
But only my flesh and blood might not be enough. Even if this potion doesn't need 【Divinity】, it still carries the power of 【Prosperity】 and 【Memory】..."
No need to finish the words, everyone's eyes followed Cheng Shi and looked at Tao Yi and Su Yi Da.
Tao Yi widened her eyes in shock, but soon nodded firmly.
She endured the severe pain, drove the branches to scrape a piece of skin and flesh from her arm, and sent it into the medicine furnace.
After doing all this, she seemed afraid that the power of 【Prosperity】 was not enough, so she drove the branches again to prepare to scrape the skin and flesh of the other hand.
To be fair, Old Man Cui is like this now, entirely because of saving everyone.
In Miss Tao's view, whether considering the help of teammates later or out of gratitude, if he can be saved, he must be saved.
What's more, this bit of skin and flesh pain is simply drizzle compared to before underwater.
Her thoughts were very simple, but Cheng Shi stopped her in time.
"Refining medicine pays attention to control and proportion, some things are not the more the better!"
After speaking, he pushed the medicine furnace to Su Yi Da.
Su Yi Da's face was gloomy and uncertain.
To tell the truth, he himself had no resistance to saving Cui Dingtian, and was very willing to help.
Because whether it is Cui Dingtian's strength or his character, he is the best teammate worth relying on.
But the problem is that he is not a real believer of 【Memory】!
Seeing Cheng Shi talking eloquently, he didn't doubt at all that this priest could refine this potion.
But he was afraid that if the refining failed, his identity might be exposed.
Exposing his identity actually has no serious consequences. The most serious thing is that because of this, the entire trial team is likely to lose three combat powers directly.
Cui Dingtian, himself, and... Tao Yi!
This is almost a devastating disaster!
Since Su Yi Da has such concerns, would Cheng Shi not think of it?
No!
He had already calculated everything.
Because he is also lying!
To tell the truth, before getting Adosi's alchemy notes, he didn't even know what a medicine furnace looked like.
His medicine was all refined out of thin air.
But not today.
The sealing of the portable space made him lose the environment of editing as he spoke.
So, if you want to succeed, you must perform a play!
His brain ran crazily, almost emptying all his knowledge of refining medicine, and then tried his best to increase details, describe efficacy, just to make the matter of refining medicine more credible.
If there were no Tao Yi and Su Yi Da, perhaps things wouldn't be so smooth.
But fate is clever here:
There happens to be a believer of 【Prosperity】 and a believer of 【Memory】 in the team.
Even if this believer of 【Memory】 is essentially 【Deception】.
But it doesn't matter!
Let's recall the ability of the talent 【Offering to the Void】: When there are five outsiders besides yourself who acknowledge the existence of a fabricated item, the item exists.
Undoubtedly, at the moment, everyone present believes that Cheng Shi can refine this potion.
Then, except for Cheng Shi, the other four people all believe that Su Yi Da is a mage of 【Memory】 and believe that he has the power of 【Memory】.
Only Su Yi Da himself has doubts about whether his flesh and blood can successfully refine medicine.
So the biggest bet in this game is not someone else, but Su Yi Da himself.
What Cheng Shi is betting on is that Su Yi Da can convince himself, convince his own heart to acknowledge that he does possess the power of 【Memory】, so refining medicine will not fail.
This game is not Cheng Shi simply lying to Su Yi Da.
But waiting for Su Yi Da to lie to himself!
Sure enough, at that moment, countless thoughts flashed through Su Yi Da's mind, and finally a reasonable and absurd inference was born:
That is, although his power of 【Memory】 is cheated, it is still the power of 【Memory】 in the eyes of others.
So according to His will, the matter of refining medicine should not fail.
Hesitation flashed rapidly in his eyes, Su Yi Da hardened his heart, tore off the flesh and blood on his arm, and threw it into the furnace.
Success!
The moment Su Yi Da took action, Cheng Shi knew it was a success!
Damn the five-day flash of light!
As long as you hold on for three days, survive the trial, there will be plenty of opportunities to save your life later.
If you haven't held on for three days and everyone is dead, then there is no need to discuss anything else.
Cheng Shi excitedly closed the medicine furnace and looked at Zhao Qian with a crazy smile.
"I need fire!" ===== CHAPTER 78 =====
It worked!
The moment Su Yi Da made his move, Cheng Shi knew it had worked!
To hell with the five days of a dying flare!
As long as we hold out for three days and survive the trial, there will be plenty of opportunities to save our lives later.
If we don't even make it through three days and everyone kicks the bucket, there's no need to discuss anything else.
Cheng Shi excitedly closed the medicine furnace and looked at Zhao Qian with a crazed smile.
"I need fire!"
