Chapter 2: Super Synthesis Book

  "It's not difficult to transcend the ordinary, as long as Young Master is willing to return to the Edgeless Abode and borrow its power, eating all sorts of heavenly treasures, he can transcend at any time!" A voice suddenly rang out, startling Chu Cheng into a tremble.

  However, he immediately knew who it was and impatiently curled his lips: "Where are you hiding again? I'm telling you, Ninth Uncle, can't you stop being so mysterious all the time? My little heart can't take it!"

  Jiū Shū, one of the nine great guards of Chu Tian Ge, the Marquis of Edge Wilderness, ranked ninth, skilled in concealment and tracking. Age unknown, strength unknown, life story unknown, origin unknown.

  Chu City didn't even need to look around and knew that with his own three-legged cat skills, he would definitely not be able to find Ninth Uncle, so he simply gave up on the idea.

  Ninth Uncle sighed, his tone somewhat helpless: "The old master has ordered it, and I must obey. Second Young Master, please return to the manor, I beg of you! If you don't go back, the old master will probably break my legs! For the sake of my old arms and legs, please return to the manor, okay?"

  Chu Cheng curled his lip, whistled and said: "Cheh, can the old man bear to part with you? You are the treasure of the old master! How is it that the old man has changed his mind? Doesn't he plan to let me marry into your family?"

  "Second Master, isn't that the way it's supposed to be? It's for you and Miss Dongfang to get along well, not always bullying her and coming up with bad ideas. This isn't good..."

  Chu Cheng raised his middle finger, expressing disdain: "Got it, what's on the old man's mind I don't know? Isn't it just hoping that I can marry the silly girl from the Dongfang family? The Dongfang family has only one daughter, and Old Man Dongfang is reluctant to part with her. Who in the entire city of Shanyang doesn't know this? In the end, he'll definitely make me a live-in son-in-law!"

  Ninth Uncle was speechless: "Master can't bear to part with you..."

  Chu Cheng yawned: "Alright alright, am I a three-year-old kid? The old man has an elder brother, isn't he afraid that no one will inherit the family business?"

  Chu Cheng's older brother, Chu Yan, was a naturally talented individual who had been sent to the imperial capital five years ago to cultivate with a certain important figure known as "Xuan Lao". In comparison, Chu Cheng was indeed far inferior.

  "Big Master has his own mission, Old Master has his own considerations... Second Master, do you have any idea what you're doing? Running away from home at your age, playing around like this?" Ninth Uncle sighed.

  "Cut it out! I'm only twelve years old, okay? Minor! Don't drag me into this!" Chu Cheng said irritably.

  No matter in the original world or this world, twelve years old is still a minor, just a child. But who let Zhu Yu be so talented? When big brother Chu Yan was twelve years old, he had already become an apprentice under "Xuan Lao", no choice but to obey!

  Of course, for that big brother, Chu Cheng subconsciously ignored him.

  "Second Master, you're not the eldest master, your own strength is nothing compared to Old Master's, you'll definitely lose if you play against him, just give up!" Ninth Uncle sighed and left quietly.

  After a long time, Chu Cheng suddenly sat up, with a gloomy face.

  "Old man, old man, we're of the same generation, how can you ask me to be a live-in son-in-law? That's too much! I'd rather die than do that!"

  Old man, naturally refers to Baron Edge Arang Chu Tian Ge.

  The Chu State was founded by military power and implemented the feudal system, with five noble titles: Gong, Hou, Bo, Zi, and Nan. Each title had its own city of varying sizes. However, over the thousands of years, there were too many titles but not enough cities, resulting in several titles sharing one city.

  The Shan Yang City is jointly managed by four people: the Viscount of Shan Yang, the Baron of South Kuang, the Baron of North Kuang and the Baron of Bian Kuang.

  Twelve years ago, the meteor shower was unfortunate, and the Viscount of Shanyang died. The Baron of South Kuang occupied the south city, the Baron of North Kuang occupied the north city, and the Baron of Bian Kuang had the weakest power and could only occupy the horizontal mountain range where birds don't shit. Although the territory is the largest, in fact, it's all stones.

  So, for the Northern Wilderness Baronial House of Dongfang, Chu Tiange was extremely eager to pull in, and even wanted to send out his own son, Chu Cheng, to be a live-in son-in-law!

  This matter, Chu Cheng naturally did not agree!

  "Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, Super Synthesis Book, reveal your power!" Chu Cheng sat cross-legged like a deity, his hands clasped together in prayer, muttering to himself.

  As he muttered to himself, a faint light flashed by, and an ancient book appeared before him.

  This is a thick and sturdy thread-bound book, made of some unknown material. Anyway, it's impervious to knives and guns, fire and water, and even blood can't penetrate it. This has been personally tested by Chu Cheng.

  And on the cover of this book, there are two big characters.

  These two big characters, probably no one in this world recognizes them, because they are two authentic ancient Chinese characters of the Huaxia nation, and only Chu Cheng, an archaeological professional who has traveled through time, can recognize them.

  "Combine!"

  These two characters are "synthesis".

  Twelve years ago, Chucheng was playing in Shennongjia when he accidentally discovered this book. He then crossed over with his soul. This book also followed him across and became the only "fellow villager" of Chucheng.

  For this book, Chu Cheng studied for twelve years.

  Opening the book, only the first page had a small exquisite picture at the top, which was a shiny red dan medicine. On the second page, however, it was blank and empty, with nothing on it.

  "This is the last time, the very last! If I waste this chance, then I, young master, will be heartbroken!"

  Chu Cheng got up from the ground, took out a pile of things from a small wooden box, bottles and jars, counted them one by one, there were seven in total, all made of inferior jade.

  His eyes fixed on the red pill, a mysterious message flooded his mind.

  "Jiutian Ningxue Dan, a mysterious pill that condenses and refines the essence of blood. To synthesize it, one needs rootless water, non-illuminating fire, malicious blood, petty person's blood, fierce warrior's blood, enemy's blood, gentle blood, close relative's blood, and heart's top blood."

  This is the only synthesis formula on the first page of the Synthesis Book, and the materials are extremely difficult to find. It can be said that in order to gather these materials, Chu Cheng was worried and exhausted, using all his energy.

  Rainwater, also known as rootless water, is the simplest.

  No clear fire, it's actually anger, how can this be collected? Nonsense!

  Fierce blood, Chu Cheng's understanding was the blood of a fierce beast. So one day, he rallied his classmates to go hunting in the wilderness, surround and kill the Flame Boar, and almost got expelled...

  Little man's blood, in a certain city of Chu, one day transformed into a masked knight-errant, gave a certain little man a good beating, and got some fresh blood...

  Hero's blood, is Ninth Uncle considered a hero? In those years, he also went to the battlefield to kill enemies, charged and broke through the enemy lines, and was beaten by him until his face turned pale...

  Enemy's blood, okay, for this, Chucheng does not admit it, but he still has an enemy! The second son of the Nanhuang Baron, Chumandragon, is one...

  Gentle blood, the young lady of the Dong family is very gentle, so she was drawn a tube of blood and cried all the way home...

  The closest blood relatives in Chucheng's life were his father and older brother. Between the two, who was more important? Chucheng couldn't figure it out, so he chose the older one. Perhaps this was why Lao Touzi had forced him to marry into the Dongfang family.

  Whose lifeblood is it? Is it Chu Cheng's? Poor Chu Cheng, only twelve years old, how can anyone bear to harm him?

  So, nine materials were prepared, but in the end, only seven were enough.

  He tried these seven materials four times and they were almost used up, this is the last time!

  "Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, Super Synthesis Book, reveal your power!" Chu Cheng opened all seven jade bottles and piled them together. He then held the combined book with both hands, its pages facing downwards, and closed his eyes.

  As he muttered to himself, the Synthesis Book emitted a faint white glow, while the red Dan medicine emitted a crimson light that enveloped all the materials.

  However, amidst the flashing red light, there was some obscurity and unclearness.

  "Still won't work? It's just missing two materials, isn't that being too petty?" Chu Cheng gritted his teeth.

  After hesitating for a moment, Chu Cheng picked up an exquisite dagger and pressed it against his chest.

  "To stab or not to stab? That's a question." Chu Cheng hesitated.

  Stabbing it will get the heart's blood, but still lacks a "ignorant fire", can it succeed?

  If you don't pierce through, then it's destined for failure, and you'll have to think of another way to condense your vital energy.

  After a while, Chu Cheng finally made a decision: Don't stab anymore!

  "This young master is no fool, these nine days of Congealed Blood Dan, the materials are not even complete, it's definitely impossible to refine. Most importantly, the heart's blood, ah, how painful it must be to pierce it in!"

  Just as Chu Cheng was about to put down the dagger, suddenly, with a loud crash, the dormitory door was kicked open and a burly man rushed in.

  "Chu City, you dare to hurt my sister? Watch how I'll teach you a lesson! Take this punch!"

  No sooner had the words left his lips than Chu felt a powerful force crash into his back. This was not important, what was important was that he felt a sharp pain in his chest, and when he looked down, he saw that the dagger had been thrust all the way in, with blood flowing freely.

  Chu Cheng reluctantly turned his head, saw the person clearly, and was furious: "Dongfang Ye, you savage, I've already taken a tube of blood from your sister. How much blood do you want to take from me? You're wasting your life by not doing business!"

  Then he felt a wave of dizziness and wanted to say something but couldn't, completely fainting!

  He didn't notice that the red light emitted by the red dan medicine pattern suddenly flew rapidly, and a strand of his heart's blood was sucked into the pattern.

  Then, the entire synthetic book vanished into thin air.

  The Eastern Barbarian is stunned.

  Dongfang Ye, the eldest son of Marquis Dongfang San Yi, is a rough and powerful man with no strategy, but has courage. He is one of the few friends in Chucheng, older than Chucheng by several years, but younger at heart. They have been playing together since childhood, and he admires Chu Xuan the most and loves his sister dearly.

  He and Chucheng have such a good relationship, how could he possibly go harm Chucheng?

  He just wanted to teach Chu Cheng a lesson, vent his anger for his sister, but he didn't mean to kill him! The dagger pierced his chest, probably even piercing his heart? Can he still be saved?

  If Chu Cheng were to die, how would he be able to face his sister?

  "Ah!" A cry of surprise came from outside the door.

  The young man from the East turned his head and saw that his own sister had actually fainted!

  "Sister!" Dongfang Ye was suddenly flustered.

  He took a glance at his sister on the ground, then another glance at Chucheng on the bed. Dongfang Ye gritted his teeth, picked up Chucheng with one hand and hugged his sister with the other, dashing out of the dormitory at top speed towards the Northern Wilderness Baron's Manor!
