ALL NOVEL Chapter 49 Poison Refined Powder
"This is an advanced alchemy platform. You were originally using a basic alchemy platform. On the ground is the four-pointed star array invented by Ms. Starry Night." Kulov said with an admiring tone.
He stepped up the three steps of the alchemy platform, stood next to the circular shelf in the center, and pointed to the shelf due north:
"Basic toxins related to the fire element are specifically placed there."
He pointed to the shelves due east, south, and west in turn, "These three places place the basic toxins related to the elements of earth, water, and wind respectively."
Kulov stretched out his two arms, pointing one to the west and one to the south:
“Directly southwest between these two shelves is the clear water pond.
"You can use the clean water in the pool, or clean alchemy tools such as glass bottles and spoons in it. Pull the rope ring above the pool to replace the water in the pool."
He changed directions and introduced the crucible located due northwest and the oven located due northeast.
Finally, Kulov pointed to the condensing stove in the southeast direction and said:
“This condensing cooktop is used like a stove.
"Pull the rope ring once, which is the first gear. The temperature of the stove will drop from 20 degrees to 15 degrees. Every time you pull it after that, the temperature will drop by 5 degrees, and the lowest can reach 0 degrees. When you pull it for the fifth time , the temperature inside the stove will be reset to 20 degrees."
Xia Zuo nodded to indicate that he understood.
He looked around and felt that there was a mysterious alchemical truth behind the layout of the alchemy table:
"Professor, does Ms. Xingye refer to the relationship between elements by placing the shelves and alchemy equipment in this way?"
Kulov looked at the other party with admiration, "Yes, this is what you need to understand."
"Let's start class."
He asked Xia Zuo to stand outside the advanced alchemy platform and pointed to the shelf beside him:
"The complete recipe of poison refining powder requires the use of 20 basic toxins. Let's go step by step, starting with the simplest simplified recipe."
He picked up the glass bottle containing the complex toxin:
“White palate toxin contains only traces of the earth element and no other three elements.
"You have noticed the patterns on the floor of the alchemy table. So, tell me now, what is the element that is associated with the earth element?"
"It's the element of fire and water."
Xia Zuo quickly glanced at the ground and replied, then opened his mouth without making any sound. He resisted the urge to continue asking questions and suppressed the question "Why can't the earth element and the wind element be related?" in his heart.
Kulov saw the student's appearance and guessed his confusion.
He pointed to the ground and made several gestures with his fingers along the lines in the air:
“There are no absolute possibilities or impossibilities in the field of alchemy.
"These lines under the feet are just for reference, not rules that cannot be violated. Their greatest purpose is to help alchemists think and remind us not to make mistakes."
Kulov opened the cork of the toxin bottle, poured the white palate toxin into a glass vessel, used a glass rod to spread the white floc that formed a ball, and said at the same time:
"In the first class last semester, I asked you, Mason and Brandon to identify white palate toxin. Your identification report was generally correct.
“It is a toxin that dissolves in liquids, which is its connection to the element of water.
“It can be lit with an open flame and emit choking smoke, which is its association with the element of fire.
"If you want to enhance the toxic effect of white palate toxin, you have to start with these two elements related to it."
Kulov walked to the shelves in two corners and took two bottles of basic toxins from them:
"These are bluegillin and helobilin. I don't need to explain their functions again, right?"
"I remember it, Professor."
Xia Zuo found the records of these two basic toxins in the [Knowledge Reserve] and quickly looked through them to confirm that he remembered correctly.
Bluegill is derived from the gills of certain humanoid amphibians.
When it acts on the human body, salty sewage will continuously flow out of the mouth.
This poisonous effect is easy to deal with and is generally not fatal. Just open your mouth and let the sewage flow out.
Erythroblastine, derived from a fire-breathing creature.
Its gallbladder functions similarly to the human gallbladder, specifically used to concentrate and store a type of bile that can cause deflagration.
The red bile hormone comes from the gallbladder of this creature.
When acting on the human body, it will cause a burning sensation in the body. If a large enough dose is taken, it can even ignite organs.
Kulov dissolved the white palate toxin into the base, then poured in the powdered red bile pigment, and the two were mixed together while stirring, turning into a light red liquid.
He poured the cup of liquid into the crucible, evaporated the water over medium heat, then used a spatula to remove the light red crispy shell and put it in the oven to bake.
When the crispy shell cracks into pieces, baking is over.
"Watch my moves carefully. This powder needs to be condensed."
Kulov held the tray that had just been taken out of the oven, lifted a flat-bottomed metal pot and placed it on the condensing stove:
"There are many methods of condensation. The one we are going to use this time is cold frying. This pot is a cold pot specially used for cold frying. You will also learn other condensation methods in the future, and I will introduce their corresponding tools at that time. .”
He poured the minced meat on the tray into a cold pot, added the gelatinous bluegill, and quickly stir-fried it with two spatulas, just like frying noodles and rice on an iron plate.
The gelatinous substance in the cold pot cooled rapidly and turned into something like ice slag.
Kulov scooped up the ice slag and used the crucible and oven to remove the water again, finally getting a small amount of lavender powder.
Xia Zuo stood for nearly an hour, immersed in the alchemy operations that his mentor was familiar with. It wasn't until the other party wiped off the stains on the alchemy table that he came back to his senses and used the detection technique on the lavender powder.

This item can only be used with White Palate Poison.
After adding this prop to White Palate Poison, the number of layers of the suffocation effect can be increased from 1 to 2, the blood deduction speed can be increased from 20 points/minute to 30 points/minute, and the duration of the suffocation effect will be shortened by 66%. .
(Note: Unless otherwise noted, the poison effect information fed back by detection is the basic data that is not affected by resistance.)
"Stop standing there and try it yourself."
Kulov took out a pen and paper from the drawer of the storage table and scribbled down dozens of lines of alchemical sentences.
"This is the recipe for this powder."
He put down his sleeves rolled up to his elbows and walked slowly towards the door of the alchemy room with his hands behind his back. "When lunch time comes, go eat and come back in the afternoon. You will be refining poisons here from now on."
"Yes, Professor."
Xia Zuo watched his mentor leave, walked up to the advanced alchemy platform, took a bottle of white palate poison, and added lavender powder to it.
Gently shake the measuring cup to dissolve the powder in the poison bottle.

[Props Effect]
(In parentheses are the data after calculating willpower and resistance.)
After drinking this bottle of poison, you will get 2 layers of suffocation effect, deducting 30 (27.9) blood points every minute, the effect lasts for 1 (0.98) minutes, and deducting 30 (27) blood points in total.
White Palate Poison itself only has one [Related Resistance].
After adding the corresponding poison refining powder, the number of [Related Resistance] increases to 3.
Successfully taking it can increase 3 types of resistance at one time.
Then...can the antidote for White Palate Poison be refined? Will 3 types of resistance be associated after refining?
Xia Zuo scratched his head and put these two problems aside. The most important thing was to refine the lavender powder first.
He walked around the circular countertop a few times, reviewing the instructor's steps in his mind, as well as the duration of each step and the completion signal. Then he picked up the formula for the refined powder and read it line by line.
Three minutes later, the recipe is memorized and stored in the [Knowledge Reserve].
He did not start refining immediately. Instead, he held up the empty bottle and walked back and forth between the four alchemical instruments. He pretended to pull the rope loop of the condensation stove, waved the spatula, and practiced various alchemical operations over and over again.
It has to be said that entry-level alchemy operations are much more difficult than those at the apprentice level.
If you do not think about the next step in advance when operating the current step, you will easily be disrupted by your thoughts and steps, bump into the alchemy equipment or knock over the glass bottle on the shelf, causing a troublesome alchemy accident.
But as long as all the alchemy operations are engraved in your mind in advance, and you train and run in more, this advanced alchemy table with a tight layout and comprehensive functions will definitely be a good helper for every alchemist.
Xia Zuo glanced at the clock on the wall.
10:50 am.
There is still more than an hour until lunch. It's enough time to refine the lavender powder.
He calmly stood in front of the shelf, stared at the glassware and glass rods, and reviewed the refining process for the last time.
1 minute passed.
Xia Zuo picked up the white palate toxin bottle and started operating it.
During the refining process, he used detection skills to check the things in his hands every moment, and strictly followed the feedback information to perform operations.
This is especially true when steaming and baking.
These two steps are the most difficult.
The former may burn the pot.
The latter may explode.
Yes, it's an explosion, that's what the recipe says.
Red bile is a combustible substance and a combustion-supporting substance.
The baking temperature and time cannot exceed the predetermined values, otherwise... Anruer will see another boyfriend with a different hairstyle.
Xia Zuo pursed his lips tightly and stood in front of the oven, throwing out detection spells continuously to check the heat and the status of the alchemy materials in the oven.
[Item name] Unknown things
[Prop type] Suspected poison refined powder
[Item Level] Unknown
[Prop quality] Current completion level is 68%
At the current baking temperature, it is expected that the completion level will rise to 76% after 17 seconds.
It is expected that after 24 seconds, the completion level will drop from 76% to 40%.
It is expected that after 30 seconds, the completion level will drop to 0% and an explosion will occur!
(The rest of the information is omitted)
When there were only 2 seconds left in the countdown, Xia Zuo turned off the oven switch in advance, then opened the oven door, took out the tray with his left hand wearing an insulated glove, and poured the cracked pieces on the plate into the cold pot.
He picked up the glass bottle of bluegill with his right hand, poured out the gel in the bottle, and quickly broke away from the heat-resistant gloves with his left hand, holding a spatula in each hand...
Stab, stab~
The spatula scraped against the inner wall of the cold pot, stirring the rapidly cooling mixture in the pot.
Xia Zuo threw out the detection technique again, and the feedback information he received showed that if he continued to stir-fry for 5 minutes at the current temperature, frequency and intensity, the completion rate would reach 92%.
If the golden finger says 5 minutes, stir-fry for 5 minutes. Not one second too much, not one second too little.
He stopped the stir-frying at the right time, put the lavender ice slag into the crucible, evaporated the water over medium heat, and then used an oven to dry the deep water.
The precise operation of these two steps successfully fixed the product completion rate at 100%.
"Huh~"
Xia Zuo breathed a long sigh of relief, and a thin white mist appeared on his mask.
The clock hand on the wall still has 20 minutes to go before it points to 12 noon.
His refining time was 10 minutes faster than that of his mentor, only taking about 50 minutes.
Maybe it's because Kulov deliberately slowed down his movements so that the students could see clearly...
Xia Zuo nodded as if he was aware of it, and cast his detection technique on the lavender powder in front of him, and received a satisfactory answer.
He took some time to clean up the alchemy table, then put his masterpiece in an empty glass bottle and walked out of the alchemy room.
Kulov was lying on the soft sofa meditating.
Xia Zuo walked lightly to the desk, labeled the glass bottle in his hand, took a piece of paper and wrote a line of words, pressed the glass bottle on the piece of paper, and then left the poison alchemy area.
…
The castle hall is lined with light pillars, quiet and peaceful.
Xia Zuo returned here after walking around the restaurant.
"Isn't get out of class over yet?"
He scratched his head and waited for Anruer at the entrance of the oil alchemy area.
Usually the other party is waiting for him to have lunch together.
Today it's the other way around.
It turns into him waiting for each other in the hall.
Maybe there were more people studying oil alchemy, and Professor Zhuolang had to arrange the students who passed the exam and those who failed, so it was delayed a little.
Just as Xia Zuo was bored and watching the elemental servants cleaning, the doorway in the wall opened.
A group of oil alchemy students came out.
Everyone was holding a wooden box in their hands and chatting with each other about making up the exam. Some girls even secretly looked at the figures lingering in front of the door, casting complex looks of admiration, envy and strange expressions.
Xia Zuo watched them enter the restaurant silently, and found that Anruer was not among them, so he continued to wait aside.
About five minutes later.
The doorway opens again.
Anruer had her hair wrapped around her fingers and walked out with a thoughtful look on her face.
A figure stood in front of her. She raised her head and saw the other person's appearance clearly, stretched out her arms and threw them into her arms.
