Chapter 874 Grab it and refine it in an instant
The red-eyed monster stood up, clapped his hands, and said:
"Then please prepare a batch of dishes, sir. I'll take them and promote them first. After that, we'll split the profits from the sales 50/50."
Li Shuwen returned to the kitchen and busied herself for a while.
The red-eyed monster found some special containers and used spiritual power to seal, keep warm, and preserve the food.
They were neatly stacked in the cabinet, ready to be delivered later.
Dorombalut emerged from the shadows once more, this time smaller than before, but with a deeper and more stable indentation on its back.
Li Shuwen, Dr. Kongmu, and Zi Pangzi boarded the vehicle, while the Abandoned Monkey squatted at the back of the carriage, silently gazing at the city skyline behind them.
After traversing the Shadow Dimension for a while, Dorambaruto emerged from the ground.
A small oasis appeared ahead, standing out starkly against the gray, cracked earth.
The oasis was small, with a spring in the center spouting a thin stream of water into the air, the water droplets refracting tiny sparkles in the dark red sunlight.
The oasis is surrounded by a ring of low fruit trees, and the ground is covered with a thin layer of green.
A group of Grass-type Pokémon are scattered throughout the oasis: Bellossom, Victreebel, Geranium, Venusaur, Ludicolo, and Selena Gomez.
They all bore the marks of fatigue, yet their movements remained synchronized, releasing the energy of the grassy field to the ground, allowing the oasis's vitality to continue.
The Pheromosa stood in the center of the oasis, its slender body gleaming with a cold metallic luster under the dark red light.
Its movements were even more ferocious than Li Shuwen remembered. Every time it raised its hand or turned around, it carried an unrestrained sharpness, and a layer of dark turbidity surged in its eyes.
Li Shuwen jumped off Duolongbalut's back, with Zi Pangzi and Qishi Monkey following behind him.
He walked towards the pheromone, his steps unhurried, his tone still gentle as he spoke:
"Pheromone, what are you doing?"
When Pheromone turned around and recognized him, a surge of anger welled up in her eyes.
With a powerful kick from his hind leg, his body shot towards Li Shuwen like a streak of silver light.
With a sharp whistling sound, his feet moved so fast that they left a trail of afterimages in the air.
The abandoned monkey cut in from the side.
Its fist glowed with a dark red light, and its furious fist slammed down to meet the kick.
The fist and leg collided in mid-air with a dull thud, and the shockwave spread to both sides, blowing a small piece of grass off the ground.
Both parties stepped back simultaneously.
When the pheromone lands, its hind legs bend slightly, like a spring, to absorb the impact.
The Abandoned Monkey's body slid back half a step, the dark red light on its fist flickered, and then stabilized again.
Dr. Kuroki stood behind, hands in his pockets, speaking calmly:
"I can see that your pheromones are inherently fierce and combative, and even after your training, they haven't fully improved."
"Now that it has been impacted by the turbid energy of purgatory, this nature has become even more intense, which is why it is so cruel to these Grass-type Pokémon."
The pheromone mantis started moving again.
Its body transformed into a continuous blur, kicking the Abandoned Monkey one kick after another, with greater speed and power than before.
The abandoned monkey was clearly suppressed in the first round of kicking, its body constantly retreating, and the imprints left by its feet on the ground becoming deeper and deeper.
Pheromone seized an opening and delivered a powerful, accelerated kick that struck the abandoned monkey squarely in the chest.
The abandoned monkey's body was kicked backward, flipping halfway through the air before landing back on the ground, its paws carving two shallow furrows in the ground before coming to a stop.
The abandoned monkey straightened up, pressed his hand to his chest, and then lowered it.
A more intense red light shone around its body.
His breathing became heavy and steady, and the light in his eyes changed from burning to icy.
The pheromone charged again, its kicks still whistling sharply through the air.
The abandoned monkey rushed forward, and its fist and kick collided once more.
This time, the abandoned monkey did not retreat.
Its fist steadily blocked every kick from the Pheromosa, black light flowing across its fist, and each collision caused the Pheromosa's body to lean back slightly.
After more than a dozen rounds of fighting, the Abandoned Monkey spotted an opening.
He lowered his body slightly and swung his right fist diagonally upwards from below.
It struck the Pheromosa's abdomen with a black arc of light.
The Pheromone was sent flying by the punch, soaring backward past the edge of the oasis and crashing into a patch of dry, cracked earth, raising a cloud of dust.
Li Shuwen stepped forward, squatted down next to Ferome, grabbed her head, and instantly refined the turbid energy.
The power of the waveguide flowed into my palm, gentle and dense, like a clear spring flowing through a dried-up riverbed.
The dark, turbid energy within the Pheromone's body was peeled away layer by layer, carried out of her body, and evaporated from her skin surface into fine, grayish-black smoke.
After the turbid air dissipated, the pheromone's eyes regained their clear and bright color.
She looked up and saw Li Shuwen smiling at her.
The pheromone's body trembled violently, and its long legs instinctively shrank back, like a child caught red-handed by their parent for doing something wrong.
Li Shuwen patted its head, then got up and walked towards the spring in the center of the oasis.
He picked some tree fruit, fetched some spring water, and scooped half a bowl of flour from the flour bag given to him by the red-eyed monster.
The chubby purple creature wandered around, sometimes helping to carry tree fruits, sometimes helping to pass things.
Most of the time, he would squat beside Li Shuwen and watch his hands fly across the screen.
Before long, a batch of fresh elf food was ready.
Li Shuwen distributed the food to the Grass-type Pokémon on the oasis.
The beautiful flowers formed a circle, bowing their heads and eating cautiously.
The geranium's corolla is slightly open, as if awakened by the aroma of food.
Venusaur used its tongue to pick up a piece and put it in its mouth. After chewing it a couple of times, it closed its eyes, and its leaves unfurled a bit.
When the Lucky Kappa took the food, it bent down and gently touched the back of Li Shuwen's hand with the leaf on its head.
Even after receiving the food, Tian Lengmei maintained her haughty demeanor, nodding slightly.
Dr. Kongmu walked over, squatted down, and tasted a little bit of the crumb with his finger.
"Your cooking has something that doesn't exist in our world."
He stood up, looked at Li Shuwen with a serious scrutiny in his eyes.
"No matter how delicious the food is, it won't restore your energy. Your world is unique; it must have incorporated many new elements."
He paused for a moment, his tone carrying an unusual certainty.
"Perhaps you really can leave Purgatory. For you, Purgatory might just be a dungeon where you can become stronger."
Li Shuwen stood up, clapped the flour off his hands, and smiled at Dr. Kongmu:
"Thank you for your kind words."
The spring water gushing from the center of the oasis refracted a tiny rainbow in the dark red sunlight.
After the Grass-type Pokémon finished eating, they took turns releasing the energy of the Grassy Terrain, making the greenery on the ground even more lush than before.
