Chapter 145: The Wonderful Uses of Phoenix Marrow

These cabin-shaped devices were filled with bright red blood, and from time to time a few boiling bubbles rose from the bottom.

One of the devices was special; the liquid inside was not red but a thick, pale golden substance.

Situjun led a few people forward, pointing at these cabin-shaped devices and said: "This is your reward, one each. How much you can absorb after entering depends on your physique. By the way, Lu Jing, that pale golden one is yours!"

Lu Jing's eyes lit up; his looked much higher-end than the others', probably because it had been infused with phoenix marrow.

Fan Kong and the others were also drawn to that jar of thick, pale golden liquid, gathering around it; even through the glass cover they could feel the surging energy inside.

Dragon blood and phoenix marrow are both used to strengthen the physique and blood qi, but their value and effectiveness differ enormously.

Ordinary dragon blood costs tens of thousands per drop, and a jar costs billions; the value of phoenix marrow could be calculated in hundreds of billions!

Lu Jing did a quick mental calculation and couldn't help but be amazed at the military's generosity—actually willing to spend several hundred billion on him.

He couldn't wait to take off his coat, opened the cabin door in front of everyone, and jumped in.

Lu Jing's physique could be described as perfect; his smooth, sculptural muscles were on display, causing the female staff member nearby to swallow her saliva.

The others also imitated Lu Jing, diving into the blood cabins.

As soon as Lu Jing entered the blood cabin, the first thing he felt was the extreme heat.

This large jar of dragon blood and phoenix marrow was boiling on its own without any heating.

The next moment, surging energy frenziedly drilled into his body through his skin.

"I suggest you submerge your heads as well, immersing your whole body in the dragon blood; the effect will be better and the absorption speed faster!"

Situjun's voice came from outside the cabin.

Hearing this, everyone held their breath and sank down.

Lu Jing also had no objection, for although this dragon blood and phoenix marrow were refined from demon beasts, they did not smell fishy; instead they gave off a strange fragrance that made one feel hungry.

"How about taking a sip?"

Lu Jing spoke and acted; as soon as he opened his mouth, the dragon blood and phoenix marrow surged in under the water pressure.

Feeling endless energy flooding into his limbs and bones, Lu Jing couldn't help but become excited, frantically absorbing this pure energy.

He wondered how strong his strength would become after leaving this place.

Since he was idle anyway, he might as well, while his body was brimming with energy, contemplate the diamond figure in his mind.

Lu Jing closed his eyes, focused his spirit in his mind, and continued visualizing the unfinished blood vessel network.

But the next moment, the speed of his visualization surprised and delighted him!

In the dragon blood and phoenix marrow, his visualization speed actually became over a hundred times faster!

Could phoenix marrow also have the effect of boosting mental power?

Half an hour later.

Situjun returned again, saw that several people were still absorbing, and asked the staff: "How is it, how fast are these youths absorbing?"

"The absorption speed is fast; their talents are all excellent."

A staff member said: "Especially this one called Lu Jing—his absorption speed is a bit too fast; I'm worried he might burst himself!"

"Lu Jing?"

Situjun raised his eyebrows slightly; even when he had given Lu Jing nutrients in the hospital, he had discovered that this kid's body was exceptionally special, like a bottomless pit.

"It's perfectly normal for this kid to absorb quickly; if he absorbed slowly, that would be abnormal!"

Situjun laughed while speaking to the staff member, curiously walking up to Lu Jing's cabin door to check on his absorption status.

However, upon seeing that the liquid level was already near the bottom, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"This is what you call absorbing a little fast?!"

Are you crazy?! Others have just poked their heads out, and you've already sucked it dry!

Situjun's heart gave a slight start; if it were just plain dragon blood, that would be understandable, but Lu Jing's jar actually contained phoenix marrow mixed in.

The energy it contains is more than ten times richer than that of the others!

"How is this kid's condition; are his vital signs still normal?"

Situjun asked with some concern.

"Report to Lord Seat, everything is normal."

"All right," Situjun took a deep breath, made a decision, "fill his cabin to the brim and increase the proportion of phoenix marrow!"

"This, Lord Seat......" the staff member blinked, "wasn't it said that each person can only absorb one jar?"

Situjun was a bit displeased, waving his hand to urge: "Don't remind me; the extra will be on my tab—just consider it my private sponsorship of him!"

"Yes!"

Cold sweat broke out on the staff member's forehead; he had just overlooked the identity of the person before him—this is a Martial Lord realm expert, does he really need to interject?

Watching the liquid level in Lu Jing's cabin keep rising, Situjun let out a breath: "Come on, absorb a bit more—phoenix marrow can improve one's physique and consolidate foundations; laying a solid base in the Warrior Realm will make the road ahead easier......"

Situjun looked at Lu Jing and, in a daze, saw his younger self.

The reason he treats Lu Jing so well is first, he feels Lu Jing is similar to himself; second, Lu Jing's turn-the-tide effort in the Cave minimized the military's losses.

If that day the Deep Red had truly wiped out all the geniuses, he would feel guilty and blame himself for life, possibly even shaking his faith in the Martial Way.

As repayment, a mere jar of dragon blood and phoenix marrow is nothing much.

Situjun looked at Lu Jing with his eyes tightly closed, nodded satisfied, and turned to walk out.

Half an hour later.

When Situjun returned, he saw again that Lu Jing's cabin had run dry.

"Fill it up again for him!"

"Yes!"

This time the staff member was obedient, directly pouring the dragon blood and phoenix marrow in, once again submerging Lu Jing's head.

Immediately after, this jar of dragon blood and phoenix marrow continued to decrease at a visible speed.

Soon after, Lu Jing's head appeared again.

"Lord Seat, wait... do you still want to add?"

The staff member beside him stammered and asked.

Situjun swallowed, his eyelid twitched.

He had thought this kid could at most absorb two cans, but he didn't expect half of the third can to already be gone, and he still felt no sign of reaching a limit.

Even though Situjun is a Martial Lord Realm powerhouse, with wealth accumulated to a terrifying figure, he still can't stand this kind of torment!

One can costs several hundred billions; even if the military could give him a discount, it's still an astronomical figure.

Situjun remained silent for a long time, his face still calm, but his heart was already bleeding.

"Lord Seat..."

The staff member beside him reminded: "Lu Jing's cabin is already empty!"

Situjun calculated the balance in his card, gritted his teeth and said: "Add more, I don't believe he can still absorb another can!"
