ALL NOVEL Chapter 37 Four Series Resistance
"What are you thinking about?"
An Ru'er waved her jade hand in front of her eyes.
Xia Zuo came back to his senses:
"Come on, let's go see the next painting."
"Well~ go this way." Anru'er hugged the other person's arm and walked towards the depths of the exhibition hall.
Xia Zuo put aside the idea of selling blood in a perpetual motion machine for the time being, and walked around the entire art exhibition with him with peace of mind.
History paintings show the beauty of paintings from a grand perspective. Landscape paintings are slightly inferior. Even realistic works are not half as shocking as historical paintings, and they bring much less awareness of the direction of the wind.
At about five o'clock in the afternoon, the two came out of the exhibition hall.
Looking at the bustling streets and the crowds of people, Xia Zuo felt that it would be better to take a walk by the lake in the school. It was leisurely and quiet, much better than the noisy streets.
"Let's go back to the school. After dinner, I plan to go to the tutor."
An Ruer raised her head and looked at the other party with a smile, "Then I will read in the dormitory. We will meet in the restaurant tomorrow morning."
…
That day at 7pm.
Xia Zuo sent Anruer into the corridor of the girls' dormitory and walked into the poison alchemy area alone.
Every night from Monday to Thursday, he prepared the white palate poison and its antidote, repeatedly trying the poison and detoxifying it.
Kulov was lying on the soft sofa, occasionally putting down his book and taking a look.
This gray-haired mentor spends almost all the time reading in the alchemy room.
But tonight was different.
Xia Zuo was surprised to find that his mentor was not here.
Just as he was hesitating to turn around and leave, a letter floated from the door.
Kulov said in the letter that he was discussing something with other professors to allow Xia Zuo to try trainee-level poisons on his own while ensuring safety.
Xia Zuo was delighted and looked at his character template.
【Level】LV.9
【Experience】230+80→310/1000
[Earth Resistance] 0%→0.37%
【Will】3+0.37→3.37
The closer the earth resistance is to 0.5%, the smaller the additional experience bonus provided by White Palate Poison and Antidote, as well as the bonus Willpower and Resistance.
Its experience conversion efficiency decreased rapidly, and it was obviously almost useless. It was time to try a new poison.
Xia Zuo opened the "Poison Encyclopedia" and found another apprentice-level poison formula.
【Recipe Name】Black Eye Poison
[Recipe type] Compound poison
[Formula Level] Apprentice Level
【Basic Toxin 1】
Kupoxin: Distorted vision. It comes from some kind of old dried rattan.
【Basic Toxin 2】
Curcumin: Deprivation of hearing. Derived from the moldy parts of certain ginger species.
【Complex toxin】
Black eye toxin: Users may lose hearing. When you open your eyes, the shapes and colors of things in your field of vision will change. When you close your eyes, you will see random, distorted images.
[How to configure complex toxins]
A little bit... (several alchemical formulas)
[Solvent required for preparing poison]
Extremely sweet syrup
[How to prepare poison]
Add black eye toxin to the syrup and heat while stirring. After the black eye toxin is completely dissolved, let it sit until it reaches room temperature.
In order to ensure the safety of testing the drug alone, he chose the non-lethal black-eye poison.
Since it is not fatal, there is no accompanying antidote.
In terms of production process, this poison is much more complicated than the white palate poison.
Xia Zuo stood in front of the alchemy table, stretched out his left hand to pull the blower cord of the heating crucible, picked up the pottery pot with his right hand, and added one-fifth of the water into the crucible, just enough to cover the bottom of the crucible.
A row of bottles containing potions and toxins is placed on the second-floor low cabinet on the right.
When the water in the crucible boiled, he poured the green potion as the base medicine into it and gently stirred it evenly, so that the water in the crucible turned into a bubbling dark green.
Next comes the most critical step.
Xia Zuo carefully brought the toxin bottle of fusin, sucked out three drops with a dropper, and dropped them into the crucible.
The dark brown toxin liquid collided with the water in the pot, and a burst of black smoke emitted with a sizzling sound.
He corked the toxin bottle and slowly stirred the crucible to prevent the fuscin liquid from sticking to the walls of the crucible, causing the entire pot to be scrapped.
When the liquid in the cauldron changed from dark green to earthy brown, Xia Zuo took the ginger toxin bottle and repeated the previous steps.
In the next ten minutes, the crucible needs to be stirred constantly to allow the low heat to dry out the water in the liquid.
Since you have to keep an eye on the changes in the water surface to avoid burning, this operation must be done manually.
The mask on Xia Zuo's face could only block the splashing liquid, but could not block the pungent smell inside the pot.
The liquid in the pot evaporated quickly, and a strong and pungent smell hit your face.
[blood return speed]
[[Basic blood return speed]
0.1 points/minute
[[Real-time blood return speed]
0.1-0.07→0.03 points/minute
Xia Zuo's eyes changed, and his real-time blood recovery speed almost became negative.
Fortunately, this process is very short, and not much toxin is evaporated into the air, so the real-time blood return speed picks up quickly.
There was only a gray consistency left in the crucible.
Xia Zuo used a spatula to stir the thick substance so that the water on the back of it could evaporate. After repeatedly confirming that there is no clear water, pour a few spoonfuls of sweet syrup into the pot, and use the residual heat of the stove to heat the bottom of the pot.
The gray thick substance quickly dissolved in the syrup and turned into a black liquid.
He took three pinky-sized glass bottles, poured black liquid into them, corked them, and labeled them "Black Eye Poison."
[Item name] Black Eyed Poison
[Prop type] Poison
[Item Level] Apprentice Level
[Prop quality] Completion degree 92%, excellent
[Related Resistance 1] Wind Resistance
[Related Resistance 2] Earth Resistance
It is expected that after the resistance of both series reaches 0.5%, the impact of this prop on the host will be significantly reduced.
[Props Description] The producer is Xia Zuo.
[Props Effect]
After drinking the entire bottle, you will gain 1 layer of vision effect and 1 layer of deafness effect, both of which last for 1 minute.
Black Eye Poison is actually associated with two types of resistance!
Xia Zuo quickly packed up the alchemy table, couldn't wait to sit on the stool, raised his head and drank the first black-eye poison.
The surroundings fell silent for an instant.
He flicked the empty glass bottle with his fingers, and his ears seemed to be blocked and he couldn't hear any sound.
The slender body of the bottle instantly twisted, like a snake twisting in the hand. The legs of the desk and the hands of the wall clock become wavy.
His pupils dilated, the whites of his eyes were pushed to the sides, his eyes darkened, and more light penetrated into his eyes.
The light of the alchemy lamp became more and more intense, as bright as the sun.
Xia Zuo closed his eyes subconsciously, and circles of flickering colorful patterns appeared in his dark vision.
"I feel so dizzy."
He leaned on the edge of the table, supported his forehead with his arms, and swayed following the rolling lines in front of him.
After a few seconds, he crawled to the table and buried his face in his arms to resist the waves of dizziness.
1 minute later.
The visual hallucinations and deafness effects disappear.
Xia Zuo pressed his temples hard, using the pain to drive away the remaining dizziness in his mind.
Goldfinger sent a message:
"Successfully taking 1 black-eye poison (homemade) will reward you with an additional 20% experience bonus, gain 2.4 experience points, increase your will attribute by 0.024, and gain 0.01% earth resistance and 0.024% wind resistance."
Gain two resistances at the same time!
Xia Zuo grinned and looked at the formula of the black eye poison again.
The black eye poison uses cumin.
It is derived from air-dried rattan.
When the fusin is separated from the air-dried rattan, traces of the wind element remain.
According to this idea.
Basic toxins isolated from burned things will have traces of the element of fire.
The basic toxins separated from things that have been flooded will have traces of the water element.
Xia Zuo spent half an hour categorizing in a blank notebook.
There are 7, 12 and 15 basic toxins with traces of fire, water and wind elements respectively.
There are many kinds of poisons made with them, ranging from apprentice level to master level.
Could it be
Poison Alchemy is just a branch of alchemy, can it provide 4 series of resistance? !
Is this true for all branches of alchemy, or is poison alchemy just so special?
Xia Zuo sat in front of his desk in a daze, shocked by his own speculation.
…
There were footsteps at the door of the alchemy room.
Xia Zuo turned around and saw the gray-haired mentor walking towards him.
Kulov glanced at the poison bottle on the alchemy table, "Have you tried the black eye poison?"
"Yes, Professor. I confirm that it causes visual hallucinations and deafness."
Xia Zuo stood up and saluted his mentor.
Kulov came to the desk, glanced at the student's notebook, and asked doubtfully:
"The relationship between basic toxins and elements... Did you figure it out on your own, or did you learn about it from a senior senior?"
Xia Zuo recounted the process of trying the black-eye poison, and attributed the discovery of traces of the wind element to his sudden inspiration.
After having this inspiration, he connected the source of the basic toxin with the element.
"Inspiration? Hmm..."
Kulov pondered for a few seconds and said:
"Your inspiration is not wrong.
“Each base toxin has traces of the elements on it.
"When the spiritual ocean is developed to the level of a formal mage, you can see the remaining elemental light on the basic toxins."
Kulov picked up a book from the bookshelf, turned around and continued with an admiring tone:
"It is not easy for you to discover this rule through experiments and reading.
"You do have some talent in poison alchemy."
As Kulov spoke, he picked up the black eye poison on the table and looked at the mucus-like potion inside through the small glass bottle.
"Excellent quality. Are you skilled in alchemical operations?
"The white palate poison and these black eye poisons you refined before are all at the upper-middle level.
"If it weren't for the fact that the school's admission file states that you have never learned alchemy operations, I would have thought you were an experienced alchemist."
Kurov asked and answered himself, put down the medicine bottle in his hand, and rarely went to the soft sofa to lie down, but sat down at his desk.
He made a "please sit down" gesture to the only student present, inviting him to sit on the wooden chair opposite him.
Seeing his mentor's serious look, Xia Zuo knew that the following conversation might not be easy, so he gathered some caution in his heart to prevent him from saying the wrong thing and revealing his secrets.
Kulov waved to the coffee table beside him.
The teapot floated into the air and the tea was poured out, and two tea-scented teacups flew to the desk.
Kulov picked up one of the cups, drank most of it, put it back on the table, held the tea cup in both hands and slowly turned it, and said:
"Although you have only been my student for a week, I can think that you are the most outstanding one among the three."
"Thanks for the compliment, Professor."
Xia Zuo bowed humbly and thanked him.
A smile appeared under Kulov's mustache, "Tonight, I shared my observations in the past few days with professors from other disciplines.
"You have studied many subject materials on your own, and almost all the quizzes in class have perfect scores.
"Professors from all disciplines speak highly of you."
Xia Zuo nodded with a smile and bowed to thank him again.
This was something he did deliberately, in order to establish his image as a top student as soon as possible and gain more teaching resources.
Kutov put the tea cup aside, crossed his fingers together, and said calmly:
"This year is the first time that Starry Night Academy recruits students with acquired affinity. There are 110 freshmen in total. Will there be more next year, 150? No, no, the head of the school predicts that the number may reach 200."
Xia Zuo put away his smile and leaned back on the chair, listening calmly.
Kulov made a hug gesture in front of him, and his tone was somewhat solemn:
“By this time next year, there will be about 300 students in the institution.
"Imagine that when I am in class, there are not only you and Ma Sen in this alchemy room, but also five or six freshmen who will enroll next year.
"The Department of Pharmacy and Alchemy, which has the largest population, currently has only 60 people, and the number will double next year. Their alchemy room needs to be expanded again.
"But you see, the number of professors has not changed. We are a little overwhelmed. What's more, apart from teaching, every professor has his or her own business."
Kulov reached out to the bookshelf, and a book flew onto the desk. The pages were turned over from beginning to end, but there was not a single word on it.
“Everyone has their own favorite meditation position.
“I like to lie on the sofa and meditate with a book. It makes me feel comfortable and I don’t have to worry about twisting my neck or other body parts when I wake up.”
Xia Zuo showed a clear expression.
It is a matter of perseverance for a mage to practice meditation and further expand the spiritual ocean. There is no amount of time you can spend in meditation.
Acquiredly agreeable students are flooding into universities, and their demands for class squeeze professors’ time for meditation.
Xia Zuo stared at his mentor and nodded thoughtfully.
“As the student with the strongest self-control and the fastest learning rate among the many freshmen, your opinion is very important to me and other professors.
“We want to know whether the current teaching methods and the difficulty of the materials are appropriate for students who develop friendly skills.”
Kulov took a piece of paper folded into a square from the pocket of his robe and spread it out on the desk.
"I have a questionnaire here that was drawn up at the discussion. Please fill it out here."
The pen filled with ink flew to Xia Zuo.
He held the pen, took off the cap, and read the contents of the questionnaire.
From the introduction at the beginning of the questionnaire, Xia Zuo's expression gradually became serious when he saw the last question.
He raised his head and looked at his mentor, with questions and a little tremor in his eyes.
