Bai Qiu went to Shui Yunji’s potion shop to receive treatment and rest.
The style of shops in each safe zone varied depending on the race.
Shui Yunji’s shop had an overall light color tone, resembling sea-sand hues.
However, in terms of cleanliness, it was far superior to Guinelia’s place—perhaps this was related to her personality.
As Bai Qiu looked around, he noticed a delicately adorable little girl hiding inside the shop, peeking at him from behind the door.
Whenever his gaze shifted toward her, she would quickly hide again.
“Is that your daughter?”
“Yes. Isn’t she cute? She’s usually not afraid of strangers—it’s just that seeing the great hero she admires has made her nervous…”
Bai Qiu nodded, though he didn’t quite think so.
After all, he was currently covered in blood and grime—any child would naturally be scared.
In fact, even most adults would feel uneasy at the sight.
Shui Yunji led Bai Qiu into a private treatment room.
Her expertise in potion-making was average, and she wasn’t able to create potions with special effects.
However, she herself was an excellent doctor and nurse.
The sickroom was filled with the scent of medicinal herbs—not from potion-making, but deliberately applied around the room to effectively suppress bacteria and prevent wound infections.
After lying down on the bed, Bai Qiu removed his armor, leaving only a tattered undershirt and shorts.
Shui Yunji brought over a basin of water and a special cloth to wipe his body clean…
“Remarkable… Your recovery speed far exceeds that of ordinary people. Is it due to some special ability?” Shui Yunji asked in astonishment.
After cleaning him, she realized that nearly all of his external wounds had already begun to heal.
Only faint traces remained, from which one could judge the severity of his previous injuries.
Bai Qiu replied, “Not exactly. In the zone I’m from, there’s a type of healing potion that greatly enhances recovery.”
Only then did Shui Yunji understand.
She picked up her staff and began chanting healing magic to treat Bai Qiu.
According to the usual procedure, it should be: cleaning the body, treating the wounds, applying healing potions, and then casting healing magic.
Under such meticulous care, the more severe the injury, the more comfortable it actually felt once treated by Shui Yunji…
After finishing Bai Qiu’s treatment, Shui Yunji told him to get some good rest before leaving.
‘Incredible… All external injuries healed in such a short time. Even the dark energy left behind from my fight with Gilshak has been dispelled by this power.”
After that thought, Bai Qiu immediately entered a meditative state to begin repairing his internal injuries.
The Dragon Slayer set (MAX) was completely ruined—it was time to replace it with a stronger set of equipment.
Although this time he suffered due to insufficient armor durability, he had, in turn, comprehended Advanced Spear Combat (C Rank), which was at least one silver lining.
At the same time, Bai Qiu realized that although his current equipment far surpassed that of other players, it didn’t match his own attributes.
Under prolonged, high-intensity combat, it was prone to damage!
Not to mention the scrapped armor—even Fallen Dragon’s Bow and the Purgatory Darkflame Spear had suffered varying degrees of wear.
This battle had yielded a large number of transcendent materials.
Perhaps he could ask Li Zhu and the others to help craft a new, more powerful set of equipment…
By the time Bai Qiu fully recovered through meditation, it was already 3 p.m.
He opened his status panel to review his current stats:
Bai Qiu — Level 31
Strength: C++
Magic: C++
Endurance: C+
Agility: C++
Spirit: C
Luck: E
That was the full extent of the changes to his panel.
Strength and Agility had already been close to C++, and after this battle’s rewards and improvements, they had finally crossed that final threshold.
As for Luck reaching E, that was thanks to the Star’s Blessing—something that made Bai Qiu quite happy.
After all, going from F- to E meant a jump of one and a half ranks!
Combined with the drop-rate bonuses from his achievements, his effective Luck might now be at E+ or even higher—finally reaching an average level.
In terms of skills, he had comprehended two in total: [Advanced Spear Combat (C Rank)] and [Return to Origin (C Rank)]…
There was also one thing not shown on the panel, but Bai Qiu could clearly feel it—his affinity with the wind element had significantly increased…
Was this the power of a single Fruit of Miracles?
Even after consuming so many potions that enhanced water and fire affinities before, they had been effortlessly surpassed!
Bai Qiu opened his eyes and activated his Shattered Gold Eyes to observe his surroundings.
He found Zhang Shiyao playing with a child and called her in.
Shui Yunji’s daughter followed along as well.
Bai Qiu didn’t say much to Zhang Shiyao—they had already planned their next steps through team chat.
Looking at the little girl, who seemed a bit nervous, Bai Qiu forced out a somewhat awkward smile, trying to appear friendly.
Even Zhang Shiyao couldn’t help but laugh at the sight.
“Little one, what’s your name?” Bai Qiu asked.
“Shui Yunyue… Great hero uncle, what about you?” the little girl asked nervously, clutching Zhang Shiyao’s clothes.
Uncle? …Well, uncle it is.
Bai Qiu felt a bit helpless, but still told her his name…
Very quickly, Bai Qiu grew familiar with Shui Yunyue.
After playing with the little girl for a while, he and Zhang Shiyao left under her reluctant gaze.
They didn’t use the teleportation array to leave.
After all, it was still early, and they planned to first summon the Undead Hero from the summoning card.
The goal was simple—to take it along for monster grinding and leveling.
After careful consideration, Bai Qiu and Zhang Shiyao decided to develop it along the Summoner Caster path.
The reason was straightforward.
If it became an archer, it would overlap with Zhang Shiyao. If it went melee, it would overlap with Bai Qiu.
But if it followed the Summoner Caster route, it could summon minions to handle various tasks.
This wouldn’t conflict with their roles and would also make up for their current lack of manpower…
As a beam of black light descended, a semi-transparent crystal skeleton was summoned.
Its overall appearance was… handsome?
Yes—somehow, it actually looked handsome.
Setting aside its color, every joint and every bone seemed perfectly crafted, like a work of art.
Moreover, golden soul-fire flickered within its eye sockets.
Combined with its blue crystal-like hue, it even gave off the impression of a holy-attributed undead.
The moment it appeared, it knelt on one knee toward Zhang Shiyao and Bai Qiu.
As the summoner, Zhang Shiyao was its true master, but she granted Bai Qiu equal authority.
In other words, this skeleton could obey both Bai Qiu and Zhang Shiyao at the same time.
Since they had decided to cultivate it, Bai Qiu chose to start with item cards—trying to synthesize a C++-rank item card for it as soon as possible.
For example, using dark crystals…
