After a good night's sleep, Sheng Heng's mental strength recovered to about 70%. Although he couldn't be said to be refreshed when he woke up, he was full of energy. When Yan Hao came into the ward with breakfast and called him "Brother Heng", he felt more energetic.
"Tsk tsk." Cheng Wenkang couldn't stand the sour smell early in the morning, and hid aside with a tsk tsk.
"Brother Heng, did you feel a headache or mental instability last night?" Yan Hao asked.
"No, I slept well." Sheng Heng answered with a smile while sitting at the dining table, eating the breakfast brought by Yan Hao.
"Then it looks like there shouldn't be any problems." Yan Hao breathed a sigh of relief. "This is also the first time I've made this kind of potion. To be honest, I'm not completely sure."
In his previous life, he had refined this kind of potion many times without any mistakes, but those people's mental strength was not as strong as Sheng Heng's, so this time, Yan Hao was only 90% sure.
"How about... you check it yourself again?" Sheng Heng thought of the intimate inspection Yan Hao had done yesterday to check the damage to his sea of consciousness, and he couldn't help but get distracted. Of course, if there were some "accidents" or something, and they kissed a few more times, maybe the junior brother would suddenly get the idea?
Sheng Heng's feelings for Yan Hao were almost written on his face. It was estimated that everyone in the world could see it except Yan Hao himself. Cheng Wenkang, who was standing by, heard this and immediately saw the "dirty" thoughts of his boss. He couldn't stand it and rolled his eyes.
"No need. I didn't have a headache last night, so there must be no problem." Yan Hao shook his head.
Sheng Heng's face turned green: Damn it, I should have said I had a headache.
"Poof!" Cheng Wenkang couldn't help but laughed.
Sheng Heng glanced at him coldly, and Cheng Wenkang didn't dare to laugh anymore. He coughed twice and said, "Teacher Xiao was injured because of you, so we delayed our return. Now that you've recovered, we'll go back and report in a while."
The assessment time this time was seven days. Originally, they were supposed to take the spaceship back to the capital planet yesterday, but because Sheng Heng was injured, and Cheng Wenkang and the class teacher Xiao Tianhan said that Yan Hao would come to treat Sheng Heng's injury in the next two days. Xiao Tianhan discussed with the students in the class and decided to stay for two more days and wait for Sheng Heng to recover before going back together.
"Don't worry." Sheng Heng wiped the corner of his mouth, stood up and said, "There are still some things that haven't been brought back."
Cheng Wenkang paused, then remembered: "Are you talking about the phantom beast?"
"Where is the phantom beast now?" Sheng Heng nodded and asked.
"Sima Mingxuan has handed in the Phantom Beast. It is now being looked after by someone at the base, and someone from the Pharmaceutical Research Institute will come to retrieve it soon." The Phantom Beast is a federally protected animal. Federal regulations state that once a wild Phantom Beast is discovered, it must be reported to the federation and agreed to be handed over to a special department for breeding and care.
But rules are rules, and people are greedy. If it is not really impossible to conceal it, who will really hand it over to the Federation? Cheng Wenkang is almost certain that if Sima Mingxuan had not been seen by too many people taking the Phantom Beast that day, he would have taken it for himself.
"What did Sima Mingxuan say when he handed it in?" Sheng Heng frowned.
"He said he discovered the Phantom Beast together with us." Thinking of this, Cheng Wenkang was furious. "This man is too shameless. We were the ones who discovered and caught the Phantom Beast. He failed to snatch it away and even hurt you. Now he has become a co-discoverer."
Cheng Wenkang was furious, but at the time, there was no evidence other than the people from their two sides to prove that he and Sheng Heng had captured the phantom beast alone. Moreover, he was only worried about Sheng Heng at the time, and when he learned the news, it was too late to do anything.
Hearing this, Sheng Heng immediately understood that the Phantom Beast had been seen by too many people that day, so it had to be handed over to the Federation. Instead of waiting for him to ask for the Phantom Beast back later, Sima Mingxuan might as well hand it over first so that he could legitimately get a spot as the discoverer. He even reported his and Cheng Wenkang's names, which not only gave outsiders a good impression, but also made it difficult for him to cause trouble for him again. What a scheming man.
"It's true that we caught it, but it's not necessarily that we discovered it first." Sheng Heng said.
"You mean... they knew it a long time ago?"
"Although phantom beasts are scarce, they are not non-existent. As long as the conditions are met and a certain amount of compensation is given, the Federation will exchange a portion of phantom beast blood for those in need every year. The three major families will also exchange a certain amount of phantom beast blood every year, but in all these years, I have never heard of anyone whose mental power has been raised to S-level. Moreover, the higher the level of mental power, the less likely they are to use phantom potions easily. After all, if they are not used properly, their mental power level may even regress." Sheng Heng guessed, "Sima Mingxuan's initial mental power level is A+, which is already very high. If he is not sure, he would never dare to try it easily."
"You mean... Sima Mingxuan got a phantom beast before? And it's very likely that it was also here?" Cheng Wenkang understood immediately.
"Sima Mingxuan has already gone through this assessment. There is no reason for him to come to Planet B135 again, and bring Yan Fei with him." Although there was no evidence, Sheng Heng was almost certain that Sima Mingxuan came for the phantom beast.
"But he has already handed over the Phantom Beast. According to the regulations, he can also get some of the Phantom Beast's blood." Cheng Wenkang said unwillingly.
In order to encourage people to hand in phantom beasts, the Federation will also give some rewards to those who hand in or discover phantom beasts. Anyone who voluntarily hands in a phantom beast can get 10 ml of phantom beast blood for three consecutive years, and can apply for the pharmacists of the Federal Pharmacy Research Institute to help them refine phantom potions.
Of course, the price of asking a pharmacist to make a potion needs to be paid separately, but most pharmacists will not refuse to use the blood of wild phantom beasts to make phantom potions, so this is also an opportunity to easily invite high-level pharmacists.
Yan Hao listened for a while, and vaguely remembered something. He remembered that in his previous life, when Yan Fei first refined the phantom potion, the effect was better than that of others. Therefore, elite talents from all walks of life, as long as they wanted to improve their spiritual power, would specifically ask Yan Fei to make the phantom potion. Over time, Yan Fei gained a great reputation in the Federation.
Yan Hao had also refined several phantom potions at that time, but no matter how he adjusted the proportion of the medicinal materials, or even improved it according to the opponent's mental map, the potion he refined was never as effective as Yan Fei's. He was puzzled by this and could not find any reason. In the end, he could only reluctantly admit that his talent in potions was indeed not as good as Yan Fei's. Now it seems that Yan Fei's phantom potion was better than others at that time. Could it be because of this wild phantom beast?
"Xiao Hao?!" Sheng Heng waved his hand in front of Yan Hao's eyes.
"Hmm?" Yan Hao suddenly came back to his senses.
"What are you thinking about?" Sheng Heng called Yan Hao several times, but there was no response from him.
"I'm thinking about the phantom beast?" Yan Hao said.
"You want the blood of the phantom beast?" Sheng Heng was not surprised. Although Yan Hao is now a mecha manufacturer, he was once a pharmacist. No pharmacist would not want the blood of the phantom beast.
"No, I just thought of something." Yan Hao said casually, "The effect of the phantom potion made from the blood of wild phantom beasts will be much better than that made from the blood of captive phantom beasts. The success rate of mental power advancement below A+ is about 80%."
"So high?!" Cheng Wenkang exclaimed.
His mental power level is A-level, which is above average. If this level of mental power wants to be further advanced, the success rate of taking the phantom potion is only about 50%. That is, it is half and half, it may be advanced, or it may be reduced. So over the years, although he wanted to improve his mental power level, he did not dare to try it easily. He thought that he would have a chance to meet a powerful potion master in the future, and then find a way to ask someone to make it for him, so that he would have a better chance.
That's why he was so excited when he met a wild phantom beast last time. If he could get the blood of a wild phantom beast, he could use half of the blood to ask the pharmacist at the Federal Pharmacy Research Institute to help him refine medicine. Moreover, if he was more generous and gave the phantom beast blood for the next two years to the pharmacist, he might even be able to ask a master pharmacist to help. In this way, his mental power level would be improved.
"Yes." Yan Hao said with great certainty. He had calculated it himself in his previous life, and it couldn't be wrong.
"Are you so sure? Have you calculated it?" Sheng Heng asked doubtfully.
Yan Hao was stunned and realized that he had made a mistake. In this life, he had no chance to calculate the success rate of the phantom potion.
"I... I have studied the development history of the Phantom Potion, and found that the efficacy of the Phantom Potion has begun to decrease since the Phantom Beast was kept in captivity. Then I calculated it out of curiosity. This ratio is the success rate of the Phantom Potion a long time ago. However, this data is based on historical statistics, so it may not be accurate." Yan Hao said with a guilty conscience.
"You are so good at math, how can it be inaccurate?" Cheng Wenkang became excited. With an 80% success rate, his mental power advancement would be just around the corner.
Sheng Heng still looked at Yan Hao, his eyes were heavy, hiding the pain in them.
Xiao Hao kept saying that he didn't like potions anymore, but he still studied the formula model of advanced sedatives, made potions to relieve mental agitation, and even did such a detailed study on the history of the development of phantom beasts. He must have really liked potions, so he put so much thought into it. If it weren't for Yan Fei, he might not have suddenly switched to mecha manufacturing.
Realizing this, Sheng Heng didn't know whether he should be grateful to Yan Fei for bullying Yan Hao, which led to his meeting with Yan Hao, or whether he should hate Yan Fei even more for bullying Yan Hao like that.
"This time I came to Resource Star, I failed to find the ore that I promised to give you." Sheng Heng suddenly said.
"It's okay." Yan Hao said.
"The Phantom Beast is an unexpected gain, so let's use its blood as a substitute." Sheng Heng said again.
"I... I don't need it. I'm not a pharmacist anymore. It's useless even if I take it." Yan Hao quickly refused.
"Even if you don't need it, the blood of the phantom beast can be used to exchange for things or give to others." Sheng Heng said, "Didn't you say that since you became their disciple, Elder Pang and Elder Zhong have given you many things, but you have nothing to give back? They will definitely like the blood of wild phantom beasts."
As level 10 mecha masters, Elder Pang and Elder Zhong both have high mental power levels, and are already infinitely close to S-level. But even though they are close, they are still not there. Moreover, the blood of the phantom beast is not only used to make phantom potions, but also to make very mild soothing potions by slightly adjusting the formula. This potion can repair the hidden injuries of the sea of consciousness. The two masters have been making mechas for so many years, and their mental power has been used tremendously, so their sea of consciousness will be more or less injured.
"But this thing will be more useful to you, right?" Although Sheng Heng already has S-level mental power, Sheng Heng's family should also be able to use it, and there is also Cheng Wenkang.
"I only need two milliliters, the rest is yours." Cheng Wenkang saw Yan Hao looking at him and immediately made his attitude clear, "If you didn't know how to make the phantom potion, I would have asked you to make it for me, and I could have saved another milliliter of blood."
It takes about one milliliter of blood to make a phantom potion, but the phantom potion is an eighth-level potion, so it must be made by an eighth-level pharmacist. Even if Cheng Wenkang knew that Yan Hao had a high talent for making potions, he would not think that Yan Hao was at the level of an eighth-level pharmacist now.
Seeing that he couldn't delay any longer, Yan Hao accepted it.
The three of them packed up their things and left the ward. However, as they left the medical room, they met Sima Mingxuan, who was carrying a fruit basket and looked like he was visiting a patient.
"Junior Brother Sheng, it looks like you have almost recovered." Sima Mingxuan's eyes moved across Sheng Heng's face, and a hint of shock arose in his heart.
As an S-level spiritual power, no one knows better than him the damage that an S-level spiritual power riot can cause to the sea of consciousness and the body. His previous spiritual power agitation was not as severe as Sheng Heng's this time, but it took him two or three days to recover each time. Unlike Sheng Heng, who was fine after just a good sleep.
It seems that Yan Hao's medicine level is much better than that of his younger brother.
Sima Mingxuan's gaze unconsciously turned to Yan Hao again. Seeing this, Sheng Heng took a step forward and skillfully blocked Yan Hao behind him.
"Junior Brother Sheng is so protective of Junior Brother Yan Hao that he won't tolerate anyone even looking at him. Junior Brother Yan Hao is just your partner, not your accessory. How can you still tie him up?" Sima Mingxuan said with a smile, his tone casual as if he was just saying it casually.
Sheng Heng's body stiffened. Thinking of what Master Pang had said to him personally before, he couldn't help but worry that Yan Hao would misunderstand.
"Sima Mingxuan, stop talking in such a sarcastic tone. What does this have to do with you?" Cheng Wenkang scolded.
"I was just joking. Why did you react so strongly, Junior Brother Cheng? If you didn't know, you would think that my joke hit the mark." Sima Mingxuan still smiled.
Cheng Wenkang was so angry that he wanted to bite someone. This man was so insidious. If he didn't refute what he said, it would be like he agreed to what he said. If he refuted it, he would be considered guilty.
At this time, Yan Hao quietly poked half of his head out and shouted fiercely at Sima Mingxuan who was not far away: "What does the matter between me and Brother Heng have to do with you?"
After yelling, Yan Hao couldn't help but grab Sheng Heng's sleeve nervously: This is the male protagonist, the future federal marshal, if I confront him, it won't cause any plot reaction. Forget it, never mind, Yan Fei has confronted him himself anyway, one is confronting, two is also confronting.
Thinking of this, Yan Hao couldn't help but feel more confident, and even secretly puffed out his chest. Little did he know that all of this fell into Sheng Heng's eyes. Yan Hao was so cute that he was obviously afraid, but brave enough to stand up for him.
What should I do if I like you more and more? I really want to hold you in my arms and give you a big kiss.
"Boss, boss..." Cheng Wenkang on the side was speechless. Sima Mingxuan was still standing in front of him, why did you suddenly look so gentle?
Sima Mingxuan, who was standing opposite the two of them, looked at this scene, and the smile that was always on his face disappeared for the first time.
The relationship between Sheng Heng and Yan Hao has progressed faster than he thought. He was calling him "senior" yesterday, but how come he has become "brother Heng" today? !
