Chapter 66 Xia Zuo’s idea
Two months later.
I have almost learned the alchemy of poisons at the entry-level level by myself.
The only difficulty left before Xia Zuo was to conceive the elemental characteristics.
He spent a month in thought. Every day, apart from refining poisons to keep them in hand, I would sit at the desk and frown in deep thought.
It's late afternoon on a Wednesday.
On the gravel road by the lake, two figures hugged each other and took a leisurely walk.
Anruer found that during this period, her boyfriend was a little worried and would always frown.
"Honey, is that problem still bothering you?"
Hearing gentle words, Xia Zuo came back from his thoughts and looked at his increasingly mature and beautiful girlfriend.
He raised his hand and gently pinched the ball-shaped bun on the other person's head.
Since Anruer found out that her boyfriend liked this hairstyle, she completely gave up her previous ponytail. Every time she met, she would put a bun hairstyle on the back of her head in advance.
"Well, yes, it's still the same question."
Xia Zuo looked at the other party's caring eyes and suddenly realized that he was a little selfish.
Since he mastered the entry-level formula a month ago, when he gets along with Anru'er, he is always thinking about the characteristics of elements. He rarely takes the initiative to talk to each other, and he is thinking about profound elemental issues almost all the time.
Whether it was eating, taking a walk, or picking her up from [Flower Guard] on weekends, she was always absent-minded and neglected her.
This is not okay.
Although women will only affect the progress of the research elements, the two have already established a relationship after all and need to work together to maintain this relationship.
Xia Zuo hugged the other person into his arms, smelled the faint fragrance on the smooth hair, and recalled his character template in his mind.

(Unimportant data and information, omitted in full)
Teaching freshmen last year took a lot of time, otherwise they would be around grade 19 by now.
The 16 free attribute points saved are prepared for practicing meditation. After you get the entry-level meditation method, you can add points according to the guidelines to achieve a 100% success rate.
After the spiritual attribute reaches 15 points, the spiritual attribute reward provided by the book is sharply reduced to the original 10%.
Studying purely for spiritual attribute rewards is very cost-effective. It would be better to spend your time refining poisons and testing poisons.
However, after the resistance of the fourth series reaches 2%, the experience provided by the entry-level poison becomes less, which is about 1100 points in a month.
Xia Zuo originally thought that he could tolerate the low upgrade speed, but now it seems that is not the case.
"I plan to tell the tutor my answer tonight." He said gently stroking Anruer's back.
"Yeah~ I support you. As long as you feel confident." Anruer leaned into her arms, rubbed her head, and scratched the other person's chin with the ball on her head.
"If the instructor thinks it's okay," Xia Zuo lowered his head and whispered in her ear:
"I will soon be practicing introductory meditation."
"Well?"
Anruer raised her head in surprise, obviously not expecting that the question her boyfriend was thinking about would involve meditation, which was still a very distant thing for her.
"Well, why don't you think about it again? I didn't know this issue was so important... I thought you were just having trouble refining the poison."
Xia Zuo raised his head and exhaled helplessly, his eyes reflecting the floating clouds and sunset in the sky, "I really can't think of a better answer."
He dug out the experiences of his previous life and carefully recalled every day that he could recall, but no new inspiration emerged.
If this continues, most of the time will be wasted.
In the past few months, Xia Zuo learned indirectly that Professor Zhuo Lang had not revealed the content of elemental characteristics to Anruer.
Only the Poison Alchemy Society is so special, allowing students to practice meditation in advance.
Think of Kulov, and his teacher Master Adanavardos, both of whom have the appearance of an old man.
Although the life span is not that long, the poison alchemy science is really in a period of shortage of manpower, and there is an urgent need to train a group of young expert poison alchemists to cope with the future territory expansion plan.
The Alchemy of Strange Objects, which also has a small number of people, does not have this trouble. Their refining work can be completed by elemental servants.
In poison alchemy, due to the special nature of toxins, refining poisons can only be done by the alchemist himself.
The setting sun gradually sank into the horizon.
The two wandered around the lake for a while, and then headed to their respective alchemy areas.
…
In the poison alchemy area.
Yolanda is teaching the black eye poison, and the two freshmen are operating the alchemy table under her guidance.
Kulov lay on the soft sofa and meditated.
Xia Zuo quietly walked into the advanced alchemy room, refined the entry-level poison, and walked out during the freshman's poison testing time.
7:30pm.
Kulov sat behind his desk.
Xia Zuo stood next to his instructor and watched the two freshmen try drinking the black-eye poison.
When watching Yolanda, Huo Qi and Bisanger test drugs, he was more or less a spectator.
At this time, facing the same scene, his inner thoughts were completely different.
Failure to pass the test of black-eyed poison means that you cannot use this poison to improve elemental resistance, and you must move forward in endless pain. It is difficult to become a skilled poison alchemist.
It is better to be filtered out by trials than to suffer or even lose your life.
The two freshmen drank the black-eye poison one after another.
The result is pretty good.
A boy passes the trial. Another boy was eliminated and will be transferred to the injury medicine and supplements course tomorrow.
After Yolanda and the new student left, Kulov looked at Xia Zuo beside him, "Are you ready to submit your own elemental characteristics?"
"Yes, Professor."
Xia Zuo took out the prewritten note from his pocket and handed it over:
[Fire element: burning, heating, drying, explosion]
[Earth element: shaping, stabilization, sedimentation, resistance]
[Water element: moistening, containing, soaking, nourishing]
[Wind element: invisible, fluttering, connecting, spreading]
"Are you sure it won't change?" Kulov asked, staring at the note.
"I'm sure." Xia Zuo nodded heavily.
"Okay. Come on, give me the pendant. The test of the last inspection team can also be regarded as the promotion test of the skilled poison alchemist. The new pendant has been prepared for a long time, just waiting for you to submit the element idea. One stick."
Kulov took the old pendant, took out a new one from the drawer, and said at the same time:
"I have to tell you something."
Xia Zuo put on the new pendant and found that his mentor seemed a little reluctant to give up?
"Starting from tomorrow, your mentor will be changed from me to the head of Beatrice."
"Ah? Head of the hospital?" Xia Zuo was stunned by this unexpected news.
"Yes." Kulov patted the other party's arm:
"She is a master alchemist in the fields of potions and poisons. She is my mentor at the proficiency level. You can learn more knowledge from her."
"Teacher, this..." Xia Zuo's lips twitched, not knowing what to say. He thought he would stay in this poison alchemy area until he became an expert poison alchemist.
"Of course, there is another reason."
Kulov clicked his fingertips on the note with the elemental characteristics written on it:
"Although I can guide you to complete your first meditation, it is definitely not as complete as the guidance of the head of the hospital. With the help of her and the master element bottle, the success rate of your first meditation will be much higher than if I guide you."
Kulov took out Xia Zuo's student picture album from the drawer, put the note in and clamped it:
"At seven o'clock tomorrow morning, after breakfast, you will wait for me in the castle hall."
"Yes, Professor."
Xia Zuo raised his head and looked at the other person's gray hair and beard, "I will come back often to see you."
…
The next day, early in the morning.
A gentle breeze blows across the terrace of the restaurant, carrying the aroma of breakfast to the lake.
Xia Zuo withdrew his gaze from the ripples of the lake and looked at Anruer who was drinking milk beside him:
"I asked for a tutor last night."
"Huh?" Anru'er sipped the rim of her cup and cast a questioning look.
"My mentor has changed to the head of the academy. He asked me to wait in the castle hall later."
Anruer swallowed the milk in her mouth, patted her chest and breathed calmly, "The head of the college is now your tutor? Have you transferred to the functional pharmacy department?"
Xia Zuo took out his pendant from under his robe, which still had the words "Poison Alchemy" engraved on it:
"The subject has not changed. I am still a student of Poison Alchemy, but the instructor has changed. Professor Kulov said that the head of the school is a master alchemist in both potions and poisons. What I learned in her class will be More…"
He wanted to talk about practicing meditation, but suddenly he realized something:
Anru'er didn't seem to know that there was a certain chance of failure when practicing meditation for the first time.
Xia Zuo took back the words that were about to reach his lips and said with a slight hesitation:
"I haven't told you something, but that's not my intention. The professor asked me to keep it secret for now..."
"I know. Those things involve the secrets of poison alchemy."
Anruer propped her chin up on the dining table, stared at her lover, and reached out to caress her lover's face:
"A few months ago, I asked my mentor, Professor Zhuo Lang, if I could transfer you to the alchemy of oils. Because I think toxins are too dangerous... He told me that you are very important to the alchemy of poisons..."
Xia Zuo held her tender hand and left a kiss on the back of it. "When I first practiced meditation, I might disappear temporarily for a while, maybe a few months."
He felt that the other party was a little nervous, and the small palms in his hands became cold, so he comforted him in a warm voice:
"It will take some time for me to practice meditation. Don't worry, the head of the hospital will help me arrange it."
"Yes." Anruer leaned close to her boyfriend's chest, wrapping her arms around his waist and unwilling to let go.
