Chapter 70: Zhang Hao Recovers, Miss Zhu Xingyao

Previously limited to three syntheses, it now allows four, adding one more synthesis opportunity.

However, the fourth synthesis needs too many Colorless Crystal Blocks, and many items scored critical hits in the third synthesis, so further synthesis is impossible.

For example, with the Star Chronicle Forging Body Technique, a synthesis crit counts as four syntheses; to keep synthesizing, you must first boost your strength.

Shortly, Lu Jing used 40 Colorless Crystal Blocks to get four Return Bone Pills.

"Synthesis grid, give me some power—I haven't landed a crit in ages."

Lu Jing complained helplessly.

The crit rate should be ten percent, which is high, but lately no syntheses have yielded a crit.

【Return Bone Pill ×4, synthesis costs 40 Colorless Crystal Blocks!】

"Synthesize!"

Lu Jing tried putting all four Return Bone Pills in at once; the stamina drain was obvious, like weakness after a reward.

The synthesis grid soon started up.

"After the synthesis grid upgrade, you can load all materials at once—it's much more convenient."

【Synthesis complete, obtained Return Marrow Pill ×2!】

【Return Marrow Pill: high-grade Dan Medicine; taking it recovers most injuries, leaves no scars, and can restore missing parts, replenishing the body……Ingredients: thousand‑year dragon scale fruit, thousand‑year jade marrow lingzhi, thousand‑year rainbow skirt grass, etc.】

"This Return Marrow Pill's effect is truly overbearing!"

Lu Jing nodded satisfied; with Zhang Hao's current injuries, one Return Marrow Pill should pretty much heal him.

Lu Jing was about to quit, but after thinking he fed the Return Marrow Pill into the synthesis grid again.

Zhang Hao just healing his injuries can't offset Lu Jing's debt to him, so Lu Jing decided to try another synthesis.

Let's see if we can synthesize a strength‑boosting Dan Medicine; then Zhang Hao, who failed the military assessment, might get into Martial University!

【Return Marrow Pill ×2, synthesis costs 30 Colorless Crystal Blocks!】

"Synthesize!"

As Lu Jing finished speaking, a golden light burst from inside the synthesis grid.

Fortunately only Lu Jing can see inside the synthesis grid; otherwise it would likely be exposed.

【Congratulations!】

【Synthesis crit, will perform jump‑level synthesis! (10% chance)】

【Synthesis complete, obtained Heaven Return Pill!】

【Heaven Return Pill: supreme Dan Medicine; taking it greatly boosts internal Blood Qi, fully heals injuries, and can restore missing parts, replenish the body……Ingredients: ten‑thousand‑year nine‑curve spirit ginseng, sky‑blue flower, gold spirit seed, ice spirit fruit, etc.】

"Supreme Dan Medicine?"

Lu Jing blinked, then his face lit up with joy.

With this pill, Zhang Hao's Martial University dream might also come true.

Just as Lu Jing left the room to give Zhang Hao the Heaven Return Pill, a beautiful girl in military uniform walked down the hall.

Lu Jing frowned, and Leng Yueyue beside him grew solemn; military personnel showing up now likely meant trouble.

"Are you Lu Jing, classmate?"

Her voice was clear and crisp; she looked under twenty but had a voluptuous figure and seductive face that belied her age.

Seeing Lu Jing nod, she produced an exquisite box and handed it over.

"This is the 'gift' promised to you."

She deliberately stressed the pronunciation of the word "gift."

Lu Jing nodded, took it, and it seemed that old man still kept his promise.

Trading Ye Shaohua's life for a Space Ring, this deal is sure to profit.

You know that once this ring goes to auction it will surely fetch over ten billion.

"What's up, anything else?"

Lu Jing saw she still stood there, seemingly not intending to leave.

"Let me introduce myself," she smiled: "I'm Zhu Xingyao; I never thought tiny Anwu City would have someone who could beat my cousin, and I look forward to our next meeting."

Lu Jing said indifferently: "I'm not really looking forward to it; best we never meet again."

"If you can stand out in the Genius Training Camp, we will surely meet again."

Zhu Xingyao finished speaking, gave Lu Jing an interested glance, then turned and left.

Lu Jing shrugged, ignored the strange woman, turned and entered Zhang Hao's ward.

"Haizi, someone sent a Dan Medicine said it's for treating your injuries—give it a try."

Lu Jing produced the Heaven Return Pill and placed it at Zhang Hao's lips.

Zhang Hao didn't suspect anything, stretched his neck, and gulped down the pill.

"Ow, holy shit!"

The next moment, Zhang Hao let out a comfortable sigh.

The needles in his hand shot out, and the puncture marks on the back of his hand healed instantly.

Meanwhile Zhang Hao thrashed on the bed, scratching at his wounds.

"I'm so itchy, I'm itching to death."

Zhang Hao's shouting drew a nurse; seeing him thrash, she thought something was wrong and called for a doctor.

"Lu Jing, this pill is divine—my wounds don't hurt at all!"

"Zhang Hao exclaimed in surprise: 'Eh, where are my wounds?!'"

"My wounds are gone, I feel endless strength, and my teeth are back—what kind of miracle drug is this?!"

With the Heaven Return Pill's help, Zhang Hao almost fully recovered in a short time; all surface injuries vanished, not even a scar remained.

"Lu Jing, let's go, we're going to drink!"

Zhang Hao said as he was about to sit up, but the doctor who rushed in pressed him down directly.

"Your injury is that severe, don't stand up!"

The doctor's expression was solemn, his tone very serious.

"No, my wound is already healed, right?"

Zhang Hao explained while untying the bandage, revealing the newly regenerated fair skin underneath.

"This?!"

The doctor looked puzzled, and, not believing it, examined him himself.

After the examination, Zhang Hao's injuries were indeed healed, and his Blood Qi also became dense.

"Doctor, can I leave now?"

Zhang Hao asked cautiously.

"No!"

The doctor shook his head, "We have to be responsible for you. Although we don't know what Dan Medicine you took that made the wound recover so quickly, you must stay in the hospital for a day. During this time we will observe your injury, and if there's no relapse, we'll let you go!"

Zhang Hao, upon hearing that, immediately became anxious, "How can that be, I still have to go drink with Lu Jing!"

"Drink?"

The doctor cut Zhang Hao off immediately, "Forget about drinking. We gave you medicine; you cannot drink alcohol for seven days!"

Zhang Hao: "......"

Lu Jing smiled and comforted, "Haozi, meeting a few days later is fine. I'm heading to the Genius Training Camp the day after tomorrow; when I return I'll come find you for a gathering."

"Alright, Lu Jing, do your best at the training camp, I'll also train hard, aiming to be like you and get into Wuda University!"

"Hmm!"

Lu Jing nodded, looking at the spirited Zhang Hao, and felt exhilarated inside.
