ALL NOVEL Chapter 27 Mentor Kulov
Dim lifted a stone brick on the wall and a lever appeared inside.
He waved to Xia Zuo, drew a route in front of him, and said:
"You pull this lever down, then walk in, wait until the metal door on the opposite side opens, and then leave through that door."
Xia Zuo nodded silently and pulled the lever with his right hand covered in leather gloves.
The metal gate drilled into the wall along the slide rails at the bottom, revealing a narrow passage that could only accommodate one person.
Xia Zuo walked in calmly, and the door behind him closed.
There is a row of dark holes on the stone walls on both sides.
White mist sprayed out from the small hole on one side and filled the sealed space.
This scene lasted for about 1 minute, and suction came from the small hole on the other side, sucking away the white mist.
The metal door at the end of the passage slowly opened.
Xia Zuo's eyes froze after he walked in the door.
This is a very spacious alchemy room, half the size of the castle hall.
Along the walls and stone pillars are rows of glass window shelves.
Some were shrouded in black cloth to make it difficult to see what was inside, while others were illuminated by alchemical lamps on the ceiling.
Xia Zuo slowed down, walked slowly past the shelves, and glanced at the glass bottles displayed above.
The alchemy lamps here are not just orange.
Different shelves will be illuminated in different colors, purple, green, red, blue, each color has a different meaning.
Red means the toxin comes from an animal, such as the venom glands of a snake.
Green represents toxins derived from plants, such as toxic tree sap.
Purple indicates that the toxin is derived from minerals, such as mercury.
Blue means that toxins are gases, such as the odor of feces.
These contents are documented in "Basics of Poison Alchemy: Separation of Toxins".
Now, the things described in the book are before our eyes.
Xia Zuo used the detection technique on the glass bottle, his face turned pale and his heartbeat accelerated.
If you come into contact with the concentrated toxin in any glass bottle, you will suffer continuous damage of at least 20 points/minute.
This alchemy room full of drugs is simply a big drug den. If a bottle of concentrated toxin leaks out, it will cause a large number of casualties.
Mason and Brandon entered the alchemy room one after another, both of them had the same look.
The three of them looked around the shelves for a few times, and then walked to the end of the alchemy room together.
A middle-aged man with long gray hair was sitting on a soft red sofa reading a book. Not far away were a crucible and an alchemy platform.
Illuminated by warm orange light, this place is a rare and comfortable place in the alchemy room.
"Are you the students assigned to me by the school?"
The middle-aged man with long gray hair raised his head.
He has a straight beard under his nose, deep-set eyes, and softer contours on his face. He looks like a knowledgeable scholar rather than an old poisoner who is proficient in poison making.
Although he has a middle-aged face, his gray hair and beard make him look extremely old.
"I am Kulov, professor of poison alchemy. Please introduce yourselves."
Mason stood on the left side of the line.
According to the agreed order, he was the first to say modestly:
"Hello, Your Excellency. I am Mason, from Sbrier City."
Brandon was the second one, "Hello, Sir. I am Brandon, a native of Starry Night City."
Xia Zuo followed the etiquette taught by Wilson when issuing naturalization documents, held the left side of his chest, bent down and said:
"Good day, Your Excellency. I am Shazo of Rosac. It is an honor to meet you."
"Shazo of Rosac..."
Kulov sat on the soft sofa and rubbed his fingers towards the bookcase on the side.
The rows of books on the bookcase surged like waves, and a piece of letter paper flew out from between the two books.
The letter unfolded in the air, heading in the direction of the soft sofa, and flew back to its original position after two or three seconds.
Kulov looked at Xia Zuo and said, "Nice young man."
This is the advantage of having a place of origin. There is no need to prove one's origins and past achievements.
Civil servants within the kingdom will promptly convey Xia Zuo's deeds to prominent figures in the country.
Mason and Brandon on the side obviously did not expect that the new student traveling with them would be someone who seemed to be somewhat famous.
Kulov touched his mustache, looked at his still childish face and said:
"The three of you are all outstanding talents. I don't want to lose any of you because of an accident during drug production."
Kulov shifted his weight back to a semi-lying position, his whole body trapped on the sofa, frowning and thinking:
"However, you do not have innate affinity, and your spiritual ocean has not been fully developed...
“The strength and purpose of toxins cannot be determined by the light of the elements.
"Just rely on willpower to overcome the interference of toxins..."
The spiritual ocean is a noun in meditation, which corresponds to the spiritual attributes on the character template.
Once the unruly elements are tamed and absorbed into the body, they will transform into well-behaved elements and live in the spiritual ocean.
Kulov knitted his brows together and said as if talking to himself:
"You are not as strong as the demon hunting apprentices in the Eastern Continent...
"If you are exposed to a fatal toxin under the influence of hallucinogenic toxins, even if you can survive until I come to rescue you, you will most likely become a cripple."
"The head of the hospital really gave me a big trouble."
He sighed at the ceiling, then fell into deep thought.
Xia Zuo saw his mentor hesitated and looked like he wanted to think about it carefully, so he quietly released the detection technique and looked through the feedback information in his mind.

Kulov's mental attribute value is a question mark.
Xia Zuo looked through past feedback records.
The person with the highest known spiritual attributes is Thales Meso, the resident mage of Rosak City, with 25 points.
This shows that Kulov's mental value must be above 25 points, or even starting at 30 points.
Apart from this
Xia Zuo read Kulov's template several times, rubbing his eyes to cover up the urge to widen his eyes.
Kulov's vitality is the only one so far that has exceeded 5 points!
Whether it is Thales or the fat mage from Piek Castle, they only have 3 points of vitality.
Not to mention Audrey and the others, with an average of only 2 points, which may be a common problem caused by hidden injuries caused by the breathing method.
Xia Zuo found the template of the castle manager Dim.

[Meditation method (unknown level)]
(Failed to obtain more information due to insufficient perception and knowledge reserves)
Dim switched from the breathing method to the meditation method, and worked as a mage and melee profession at the same time. It was extremely rare, and his personal talent and perseverance were top-notch.
Even such a person only has 4 points of vitality.
It seems that there are two reasons why Kulov's vitality can reach 6 points.
Either he was born like this, and when he was reincarnated, he randomly received high vitality as his basic attribute.
Either that or there's something in the alchemy of poison that increases vitality.
Xia Zuo has already experienced the benefits of high vitality, and he is inevitably a little excited at this time.
Kulov suddenly coughed slightly, attracting the attention of the three distracted boys.
He walked up to Xia Zuo and the others and said with a serious expression:
“I thought of a compromise.
“In the field of poison alchemy, the more mistakes you make, the worse your body’s function will be and the shorter your remaining life will be.
"The three of you have one chance to make a mistake when refining and testing the poison.
"Anyone who makes a second mistake will be expelled from here by me and forced to transfer to other alchemy branches."
Xia Zuo and the other three looked startled and replied in unison:
"I will comply with your arrangements."
