Chapter 80 Meditation Alchemy Table
Interference poison, interference effect, silly fun effect, these names were given by Xia Zuo himself.
Throughout the entire process of developing new poisons, he relied on his experience in refining poisons and his understanding of basic toxins to deduce feasible solutions bit by bit.
Coupled with his current skill in refining poisons, Goldfinger's appearances are very few.
The only place where scrying is used is in finishing operations.
Xia Zuo wanted to make sure there was no mistake in this step and avoid wasting time refining it.
He walked into the shower room with a poison bottle, put on a clean robe and walked to his mentor's study.
After a while, Xia Zuo came back here with his mentor's instructions.
After Beatrice identified the poison developed by the students, she asked the other party to remove the silly effect.
This was expected by Xia Zuo.
In the past more than a month, he had been developing poisons and thinking about how to strip them away, and now he had a complete plan for refining the base liquid in his mind.
In the large alchemy room, Xia Zuo once again played with the alchemy table in full swing.
It takes 30 days to remove the toxic effects.
Xia Zuo spent two days refining the base liquid required for 5 bottles of poison. After checking the peeling results with the detection technique, he allocated his daily time to spell training.
At night more than 30 days later, in the study room of the tower.
Five bottles of pure interference poison stripped of the Silly Music effect were neatly arranged on Beatrice's desk.
Beatrice rested her elbows on the edge of the table, her eyes slowly scanning the poison bottle in front of her, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
"You did well. The promotion test passed."
Beatrice put the five bottles of poison into her drawer, looked at the happy-looking students and said:
"Xia Zuo, before you are officially promoted to expert poison alchemist, let me tell you something first."
Xia Zuo moved his buttocks and sat up straight, staring at his mentor's beautiful face. The other party's slender eyebrows relaxed and did not wrinkle slightly. His intuition told him that what his mentor was about to say was not a bad thing.
“Follow the school’s regulations.
"After becoming a mage apprentice and completing the compulsory teaching at the apprenticeship stage, you will have to work outside the academy as an assistant to the resident mages."
Xia Zuo nodded. That's what Senior Mars is like. As soon as he finished learning magic, he went to work in Yenan Province. This is the only way for all students in the academy to go through before becoming an official mage.
"But the Poison Alchemy School is short of manpower." Beatrice paused, "So, you are allowed to stay in the school."
Xia Zuo laughed when he heard this.
"You have to help the school complete the task of developing poisons and refine poisons to deliver orders from outside the school."
"Yes, Professor."
Beatrice continued, "I also have to run errands for the school to transport poisons and complete some special tasks."
"Huh?" Xia Zuo was stunned.
Beatrice saw the astonished expression on the student's face and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
"You have practiced Feng Xing very well, and it is just suitable for transporting some precious toxins and poisons.
"In the past, this task was completed by the warrior guild. But those mercenaries were careless and always made mistakes.
"Formal mages can also do this job, but they are busy with the affairs of the city and cannot spare time and energy. Mage assistants are also very busy with various trivial matters.
"It would be much easier if you did it for me.
"Of course. Since it is a task assigned to you by the school, you will definitely be given points after you complete it."
Xia Zuo then thought about it and it seemed good to go out for a walk occasionally.
What's more, Tivanas Wind Movement's rewards are based on duration and spell power.
The longer and faster you float, the more experience and attribute points are rewarded.
With the Cyclone Brooch, the maximum speed of Tivanas Wind Technique reached 22 kilometers per hour, which was faster than a carriage traveling on flat ground.
By running errands for the academy and transporting poisons, you can not only gain experience and gain attribute value rewards with the Wind Movement, but also gain points from the Mages Guild. It is simply a good thing that kills three birds with one stone.
The only bad thing is that I will be separated from Anruer for a while.
But why should a man stick to the love of his children?
After thinking for a while, Xia Zuo smiled and said, "No problem, Professor."
"I believe you can handle the errands."
Beatrice smiled and tapped her chin, then took out a cushion from the drawer, and then took out a glass ball and placed it on the cushion.
She invited the students to stand with her at the desk, facing the glass ball.
"The expert poison alchemist will be officially recorded in the roster of the Mage Temple. Only after completing this step can I hand over the coat of arms and secrets to you."
Seeing his mentor's serious expression, Xia Zuo also put away the smile on his face and became serious.
Beatrice stretched out her hand and pressed it on the glass ball, "When this glass ball lights up, the witnesses in the Master's Temple will see you. I will ask some questions, and you can answer yes or yes."
Xia Zuo lowered his head to adjust his clothes and combed the broken hair on his head with his hands.
"Don't be nervous. The questions I asked are just to go through the process."
Xia Zuo took a deep breath and felt himself calm down. He nodded towards his instructor, "I'm ready, Professor."
"Okay, then let's get started."
Beatrice stretched out her slender hand, placed it on the smooth and moist glass ball and stroked it gently.
The transparent sphere gradually turned into amber, a black vertical pupil appeared in the center, and the glass sphere turned into an amber eye without any emotion.
Strips of thorns covered with spikes appeared out of thin air, covering the upper and lower sides of the amber eyes like eyelids.
The vision in front of him made Xia Zuo a little moved. This was the first time he had seen a glass ball of this shape.
Inside the sphere, the vertical pupils opened slightly, and a gaze fell on Xia Zuo.
Beatrice stood beside the student, facing the glass ball and said:
"My colleagues in the Mage Temple, I am Beatrice, the president of Starry Night Academy."
The black vertical pupils looked at her, and the spiked thorns on the upper and lower sides closed and then separated like eyelids blinking.
"The mage apprentice of Starry Night Academy next to me is Xia Zuo, a skilled poison alchemist. Under my supervision, he completed the test to be promoted to an expert poison alchemist.
"Now, I invite you all to witness with me the promotion ceremony of the expert poison alchemist."
Beatrice turned sideways, looked at Xia Zuo and asked:
"You have learned about poisons, are familiar with the dangers of poisons, and are good at using toxins to refine poisons. Can you guarantee that poisons will not be used on innocent people?"
Xia Zuo said solemnly: "Yes, I promise not to use poison on innocent people."
Beatrice then asked:
"You have learned about antidotes and are familiar with the principles of antidotes. Are you willing to prepare antidotes for kind people who are poisoned?
"Yes, I do."
"You have learned the knowledge of stripping poisonous effects and are qualified for the task of stripping poisonous effects. Are you willing to contribute your knowledge and energy to the development of functional medicines?"
"Yes, I do."
"You are about to become an expert poison alchemist. Are you willing to keep the core secrets of poison alchemy for the Mage Temple and the Alchemy School?"
"Yes, I do."
Beatrice looked at the glass ball, "Colleagues, do you agree with Xia Zuo's promotion to expert poison alchemist?"
The vertical-pupil eyes blinked again and stared at Xia Zuo for a few seconds. Then the amber light dissipated and the spiked thorns were retracted into the glass ball.
"Xia Zuo, your ability to become an expert poison alchemist has gone through numerous screenings and assessments. This stage of teaching will last for ten years. But it will be different from the previous teaching model."
Beatrice picked up the glass ball and walked around to the back of the desk. After putting the glass ball in the drawer, she took out a metal box and placed it on the table. Inside was an unknown potion that provided vitality.
Beatrice pushed the box in front of the students and made a gesture of invitation, "Drink these 10 potions first. After you become an official mage, I will teach you how to make this potion."
Xia Zuo clenched his fists and forced himself to calm down from his excitement.
Scrying scans the potions in the box, each providing 2 points of vitality and 150 points of experience.
He walked to the table, reached out, picked up the first potion and poured it into his mouth, then the second, then the third...
The message from Goldfinger kept coming to my mind.
After drinking the fourth potion, the vitality attribute value increased from 16 points to 24 points.
The efficacy of the fifth potion suddenly decreased, providing only 1 point of vitality and 75 points of experience, and [vitality] reached 25 points. Unfortunately, no new specialties appeared.
The sixth potion also provides 1 point of vitality.
The efficacy of the seventh potion was reduced again, with only 0.5 points of vitality, and the subsequent eighth, ninth, and tenth potions also had the same value.
When Xia Zuo put down the empty glass bottle of the tenth potion, his vitality reached 28 points!
【Level】LV.18
【Experience】3000+880→3880/4000
【Vitality】16+12→28
【HP】48+52→100
[Basic blood return speed]
17 o'clock/hour
(The negative effects of mild poisoning have been calculated)
The news of Goldfinger no longer came to mind.
Xia Zuo touched his belly curiously, then touched his face and neck. There was no change in appearance, and his skin did not become smoother, more delicate and elastic.
It seems like the golden finger worked.
After digital transformation, there is a good balance between the body's appearance and various attribute values.
It is estimated that even if he increases his strength to 20 points now, his limbs will not appear to be obviously strong and strong. Instead, with the help of golden fingers, he will maintain a normal body shape.
"Professor, I've finished drinking. But I don't feel anything special."
"Yeah, it's normal." Beatrice picked up an empty glass bottle and said:
"This potion is called a new life potion. It can permanently enhance your body's recovery ability. It will only show its due effect when your body is injured or contains the poisonous effects of toxins."
Xia Zuo's eyes shone, first with expectation, and then with confusion.
"Professor, do you mean that this medicine can also be effective when practicing the [Toxic Crystal] meditation method?"
Beatrice tapped her chin and closed the metal box filled with empty glass bottles.
"It has some effect, but the effect is very weak. Within the Alchemy School, we once found willing mage servants and asked them to drink this potion and then try to practice the [Toxic Crystal] meditation method. The results of the experiment were terrible. At least drink it. It takes 10 regeneration potions to condense an elemental poisonous crystal."
10 rejuvenation potions...
Xia Zuo did the math and calculated that based on the initial vitality value of an adult mage's servant being 3 points, if he drinks 10 rejuvenation potions, his vitality will reach 23 points.
Assume that everyone's physical recovery ability applies the same set of blood recovery speed formulas.
The blood recovery speed corresponding to 23 points of vitality is about 15 points/hour.
When I practiced the [Toxic Crystal] meditation method before, my vitality was only 16 points.
When all special effects of [Emergency Moment] are triggered, the blood return rate is 14 points/hour.
15 o'clock/hour, 14 o'clock/hour, these two blood recovery speed data are basically consistent.
But normal people don’t have the specialty of [immortal body].
Reluctantly condensing elemental poison crystals means becoming old like Professor Kulov and unable to recover for a long time.
This series of failed and painful experiments caused the Alchemy School to give up its plan to improve the body's recovery power and forcibly practice the [Toxic Crystal] meditation method.
Instead, he began to dig into the corners of the Demon Hunting School and recruit mage servants with strong willpower.
This resulted in a gap between the two schools of thought.
After thinking for a while, Xia Zuo came back to his senses and looked at his mentor.
Beside the desk.
Beatrice put away the metal box and took out an inverted triangular potion bottle from the drawer.
The bottle contains purple potion, the color is evenly distributed, the elemental light is dim, but some bright thread-like light is slowly flowing.
Beatrice shook the bottle gently to observe the condition of the potion in the bottle.
"Come on, let's go to your dormitory. After you drink this bottle of secret medicine, you have to meditate deeply. This meditation time is very short, and you can wake up in one night at most."
"Yes, Professor." Xia Zuo looked at the potion bottle and followed his tutor out of the study.
…
Inside Xia Zuo's dormitory.
Beatrice did not cover the walls and door panels with silver sand this time.
She put the potion bottle on the desk, told Xia Zuo to lock the door and windows before drinking it, and then introduced with gentle words:
"This bottle of potion is called the Secret Potion of Poison.
"It can help you contain the poisonous effects of 60 basic toxins at one time, and build a meditation alchemy platform in your spiritual ocean. After you drink it, you only need to enter deep meditation, and the secret medicine will complete the next steps. "
Beatrice paused and said with emphasis:
"It's the same as practicing the [Toxic Crystal] meditation method for the first time. Once you feel the pain in your soul, you must stop immediately."
"Yes, Professor." Xia Zuo nodded in response and watched his mentor leave.
He locked the door, closed the window, and cast a detecting spell on the potion bottle on the table. The information he obtained was the same as what his instructor had introduced.
Xia Zuo took a shower and changed clothes, put on a comfortable nightgown, drank a whole bottle of secret medicine, and took another concentration potion.
After lying on the bed for a few seconds, he successfully entered deep meditation.
The gray walls are covered in texture.
On the lines representing the trait of "accommodation", a purple mist spurted out, filling the small spiritual ocean in an instant.
The purple mist is constantly rolling, but it does not affect the slowly flying cute elements and the elemental poisonous crystals floating quietly in the air.
Xia Zuo felt something strange coming from his soul, which seemed to be painful but not painful, but rather itchy.
The blood regeneration speed is so high that you don’t have to worry about the blood deduction caused by this toxicity...
The purple mist shrank in the surge, and the mist gradually solidified into clear stripes and geometric figures.
Finally, the purple mist shrank suddenly and burst into bright light.
After the light dissipated, a familiar pattern emerged in front of me:
Four-pointed star array!
The bright purple border outlines the overall diamond formation.
There is a perfect circle at each of the four corners of the rhombus.
Within the four perfect circles, up, down, left, and right, are the poisonous effects of the four basic toxins. There are 15 tiny light points floating in each perfect circle, and each tiny light point corresponds to the poisonous effect of a basic toxin.
On the four sides of the rhombus, near the middle of the line segment, there are four squares.
Inside the square, the corresponding alchemical equipment is marked in symbolic alchemical language: oven, condensation stove, clear water pool and crucible.
The blank spaces of the rhombus are dotted with abstract shapes of stars and moons.
This four-pointed star array is the meditation alchemy platform mentioned by Beatrice!
It can be controlled by the soul, fly to a designated location and be fixed.
You can also focus your awareness on the small light spot that represents the poisonous effect of the basic toxin to view the specific content of the poisonous effect.
As for the star and moon graphics...
Xia Zuo tried to contact them with his consciousness, and suddenly sighed in his heart that Ms. Xingye's meditation and alchemy skills were unfathomable.
The moon graphic turned out to be the switch for the alchemical equipment.
The four moons control four symbolic alchemical instruments respectively. The full moon represents that the alchemical equipment is in use, and the crescent moon represents that the alchemical equipment has been used or stopped.
There are two types of stars next to alchemy equipment.
One is a solid four-pointed star. It is a rotary button that adjusts the gear and controls the heat. As long as you use your mind to move the stars, you can freely adjust the adjacent alchemy equipment.
The other is a hollow four-pointed star of different sizes.
The smallest hollow four-pointed star corresponds to the alchemy operation duration of 10 seconds.
The corresponding alchemy operation time for the larger size is 1 minute.
The maximum size corresponds to an alchemy operation time of 10 minutes.
For example, when searching for a certain compound toxin, use low heat to evaporate the water, which is expected to take 10 minutes.
If this step is performed in nature, you would need to actually stir the crucible.
But in the spiritual ocean, there is no need to be so troublesome.
Just put the poisonous small light spot into the symbolic crucible. Then put in the largest hollow four-pointed star that represents the 10 minutes of alchemical operation. Then rotate the solid four-pointed star 90 degrees clockwise. Press the switch to make the crescent moon on the side piece turn into a full moon.
The full moon will immediately turn into a crescent moon, signifying the end of the alchemical operation.
In the symbolic crucible, two small light spots with poisonous effects merged together. If you touch it with your mind, you can know the approximate poisonous effect of the compound toxin.
After a few attempts in nature, this complex toxin can be refined.
Using the Meditation Alchemy Table to deduce complex toxins has two obvious benefits.
It saves a lot of base toxins.
Xia Zuo once asked Kulov about the cost of the basic toxin.
For example, curcumin and cumin are used to produce black eye poison.
The cost of curcumin is about 30 silver dollars per bottle. The price of cumin is almost the same.
For the wealthy Alchemy School, the cost is still secondary. Taking into account the selling price of functional potions, the cost of these basic toxins can be easily amortized.
The main difficulty is inventory.
Sales of functional potions are huge.
About 40% of functional potions must use the products of toxic alchemy, and there is no substitute. Accordingly, the demand for basic toxins is very high.
The basic toxins saved by using the Meditation Alchemy Table to deduce compound toxins can be a huge sum of money!
not to mention…
With the Meditation Alchemy Table, poison alchemists no longer have any reason to sleep...
They have to work around the clock and study poisons day and night. Using a meditation alchemy table to refine poison is also faster than using a physical alchemy table.
The research power was instantly increased by at least 1 times!
Awesome!
Xia Zuo opened his eyes and lay on the bed staring at the window curtain in a daze. After some random thoughts, he flipped through the messages sent by Goldfinger.
"It has been detected that the host has successfully taken the poisonous secret medicine, the character template has been updated, and the special skill [Meditation Alchemy Platform] has been added."
[Health Volume] 90/90 (Slightly Poisoned No. 1, Level 1, Slightly Poisoned No. 2)
[[Mild Poisoning No. 1] Omitted
【【Mild Poisoning No. 2】
This negative effect is caused by the meditation alchemy platform in the spiritual ocean, which reduces the upper limit of blood volume by 10 points and reduces the blood recovery speed by 2 points/hour. When using the Meditation Alchemy Table, the blood regeneration speed is additionally reduced by 3 points/hour.
[[Basic blood return speed]
