ALL NOVEL Chapter 92 The Poison Effect of Elemental Toxins
Within three months after returning to school from West City.
Xia Zuo's life is compact and orderly.
The most important task is to refine poison and deliver orders.
Today is Saturday.
A sunny day.
The sun in the morning was a bit strong, and it shone warmly on my body. Occasionally, a breeze blew by my body, bringing me a cool feeling.
There were several large carriages parked in the large square outside Starry Night Castle.
The majestic black draft horse stood quietly on the spot, occasionally snorting loudly to clean its nasal cavity. The horse's mane was black and shiny, reflecting ribbon-like light in the sun.
The carriages of these carriages were made of double-layer wooden boards glued together and covered with a layer of iron. The joints of the wooden boards were reinforced with a large number of metal sheets and rivets.
The soldier who also served as the coachman walked to the bottom of the steps of the castle, picked up boxes of floating wooden boxes, and stacked them neatly in the carriage.
The ones who carried the wooden boxes from the tower here were the elemental servants of the castle administrator Dim.
Inside the wooden box is poison. There is a metal layer inside the box that isolates toxins from evaporating, so there is no need to worry about the negative effects of toxins on the elemental servants.
Two figures stood in front of the carriage team, watching the soldiers carrying supplies.
A fat man who looked innocent had a joyful smile on his face. The corners of his mouth raised the flesh of his cheeks. He held his hands in front of him and thanked the handsome poison alchemist next to him:
"Thank you, Your Excellency. We have been waiting for this batch of poisons for a long time. They are of great use and will definitely be able to curb the rogue bandits."
Xia Zuo nodded to the other party and said with a polite smile:
"Lieutenant Bochev, if there is more Lubai Su, I can supply more poison."
When he said this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Because part of the Lubaisu was missing, only about two-thirds of the order was completed, and a lot of points and experience rewards were lost.
The Lieutenant Bochev in front of him was from the Sbrier City Garrison. He was a member of the Logistics Department and was responsible for collecting, transporting, managing and distributing poisons.
Today, Lieutenant Bochev personally brought more than 20 people to the school to receive the poison.
There are many trees with white trunks in Sbrier Province, and their names are called Bailu trees.
The original growing Bailu tree will be infected by poisonous insects and mutate. Not only are the trunks white, but the leaves and branches will also turn gray.
The sap of this mutant Bailu tree is highly toxic and can be made into Lubaisu after separation and processing.
Lubaisu has a paralyzing effect, and the smell it emit is fragrant and slightly sweet.
For ordinary people with weak willpower, once they accidentally inhale a large amount of Lubaisu breath, they will fall into a temporary state of paralysis, with numbness in the limbs, trembling body, and a very slight needle-pricking sensation all over the body.
Lubaisu can be made into a poison that can be used against enemies, and it can also be made into a functional poison that prevents paralysis.
In the kingdom, this dual-purpose toxin is the most popular.
Unfortunately, banditry continues in Sbrier Province, and the supply of Lubai Su has been intermittent and very unstable.
Potchev wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in an embarrassed tone:
"We have collected as much sap as possible from the Bailu trees. Half a year ago, the city defense army sent a special team to guard the mutated Bailu woods. The work of collecting sap was also done by soldiers, not mercenaries from the Warrior Guild. . I don’t know where the bandits learned the location of the forest. They set fire to a large area of forest just to destroy Lu Baisu’s collection point.”
Potchev frowned, obviously the behavior of the bandits made him very troublesome.
Xia Zuo shook his head slightly, feeling quite regretful.
The last box of poison was placed in the carriage, and the adjutant of the transport team greeted Potchev.
Xia Zuo stretched out his hand and shook Potcheff lightly, "Have a good trip, Lieutenant Potcheff. When the new batch of Lubai Su arrives at the school, I will start refining the poison and promise to complete your order within three months."
Bochev held the opponent's right hand and shook it up and down, with a warm smile on his face, "Thank you again, Your Excellency. We will come to receive the poison on time."
Potchev waved his hand, and the soldiers boarded the carriage.
The carriage team turned around in the square and drove out of the gate of the school.
Xia Zuo turned around and walked towards the castle hall, walking steadily on the steps.
The poisons that need to be delivered urgently have been handed over, and the poisons that need to be left undisturbed for more than two months are also ready.
He had previously discussed with his instructor that as long as the preparations were done well, he could conduct immersive training three times, each lasting about 15 days.
The first one will be done today.
Xia Zuo had already explained it to An Ru'er, so he went straight to his dormitory.
There was no danger in this hidden cultivation, so Beatrice never came to the dormitory to decorate the silver sand.
After Xia Zuo entered the dormitory, he locked the door and walked into the bathroom to shower and change clothes.
In the past two years or so, in order to study elemental toxins, he used self-developed poison and antidote formulas and exchanged four copies of elemental toxins from Kulov. The first two were consumed in the operation of identifying the toxins.
There is a poison disposal suitcase on the desk, which contains the remaining two elemental poisons.
Xia Zuo's plan today is to first try the poisonous effects of elemental toxins, and then tame the unruly elements.
Beatrice once warned not to test the poison, because the poisonous effect of elemental toxins is very strong, and the life of the person who tests the poison will be in danger.
Xia Zuo has always been cautious about things that are controllable.
And for things that are uncontrollable, he will be fully prepared.
Xia Zuo, who put on his nightgown, came to the desk and pulled out his character template in his mind.
【Level】LV.24
【Vitality】38
[HP] 130/130 (slightly poisoned)
[Basic blood return speed]
24 o'clock/hour
[Free Attribute Points] 40 points
40 free attribute points, each of which can be used as a small blood bottle with 3 to 5 points.
Xia Zuo also bought an expensive functional potion for insurance:
A large and powerful resuscitation potion. After taking it, 60 blood points can be restored within 180 seconds.
This potion restores blood volume continuously, which is especially suitable for taking in advance before taking a lot of damage.
With so much potential blood recovery here, it will definitely be able to resist the poisonous effects of elemental toxins.
When identifying elemental toxins in the past, Xia Zuo had determined that it was a non-volatile toxin, so there was no need to worry about its toxicity dispersing into the air.
He opened the sealing ring of the suitcase, opened the transparent cover, picked up some powder of elemental toxins with his leather-gloved right hand, and put it into his mouth with a calm expression.
Nothing works.
As expected.
He's done this many times.
Today, we will officially measure the dose at which the toxic effect takes effect.
Xia Zuo took out the glassware from the suitcase and divided a box of elemental toxins into 20 equal parts.
He sat down on the bedside with the tray, started with a dose of 1/20, and gradually increased the dose in steps of 1/20.
On the fourth try, I finally had a noticeable reaction. A burning sensation coursed through the body, with slight pains everywhere it passed.
But Golden Finger still did not send out the message of successful administration.
Facing the remaining elemental toxins, Xia Zuo pondered for a moment, then reached out and redistributed them.
He opened the cork of the large and powerful resuscitation potion, raised his head and drank the bright red potion.
Immediately afterwards, he picked up half of the box of elemental poison and put it into his mouth.
A bitter taste spreads on the tip of the tongue, mixed with saliva flowing into the stomach.
The boundless sourness and spiciness bloomed at the base of the tongue, occupying the entire mouth.
Various phantom scenes appeared in front of Xia Zuo's eyes, and an inexplicable tingling pain traveled through his body, and his whole body was as hot as being placed in a furnace.
One second after taking the elemental toxin, Xia Zuo's vision went dark and he fell stiffly onto the bed.
In the darkness, Goldfinger’s message came to my mind:
"Taking elemental toxins will give you 3 layers of slowness, 3 layers of stiffness, 3 layers of sluggishness, 3 layers of confinement, 3 layers of chaos, 3 layers of grief, 3 layers of blood burn effects, and 3 layers of blood stagnation effects.
"3 layers of slowing effect, reducing movement speed by 90%, lasting 3 hours.
"3 layers of stiffness effect, reducing mobility by 90%, lasting 3 hours.
"3 layers of sluggishness effect, making the mind sluggish and difficult to think, lasting 3 hours.
"3-layer confinement effect, loss of five sense functions and pain perception, lasting 3 hours.
"3 layers of chaos effect, the result of the action is inconsistent with the purpose, lasts for 3 hours.
"3 layers of sadness effect, sadness will appear at least 3 times every hour, lasting 3 hours.
"3 layers of blood burning effect, the blood is hot, damaging the body, losing 45 blood points every hour, lasting 3 hours.
"3 layers of blood stagnation effect, blood stasis, damage to the body, 45 points of blood loss per hour, lasts for 3 hours."
(The blood deduction data has calculated willpower and resistance.)
Oh yeah~ The poison test was successful!
After reaching the minimum dose for the toxic effect to take effect, subsequent poisons will only extend the duration of the toxic effect, and no new toxic effects will appear.
In other words, this time you try elemental toxins to obtain these 8 poisonous effects at once, which are all the poisonous effects of elemental toxins.
With many years of experience in poison refining, Xia Zuo can be 100% sure that these 8 poisonous effects are not the poisonous effects of basic toxins.
In other words, there are 8 different compound toxins that make up elemental toxins.
In the following days, you only need to use the Meditation Alchemy Table to find the compound toxins corresponding to these poisonous effects, and then integrate these toxins to refine them into elemental toxins.
At this moment, although Xia Zuo couldn't move, he couldn't hear, see or smell anything.
But the character template in my mind is still clear.
There are 3 layers of blood burning effect and 3 layers of blood stagnation effect. The two add up to deduct 90 blood points per hour, and the total deducts 270 blood points in three hours.
40 free attribute points are completely enough!
The only thing I didn't expect was that the poisonous effect lasts up to 3 hours.
The large and powerful resuscitation potion was wasted. This huge sum of money, up to 80 silver dollars, was wasted, which was even more uncomfortable than the poisonous effects it endured.
The sadness effect takes effect and the sadness becomes worse.
Xia Zuo felt increasingly sad that he had wasted 80 silver dollars. He lay on the bed with his eyes closed, tears falling from the corners of his eyes and soaking the sheets under his head.
The sluggish effect is a bit troublesome.
After thinking sluggishly, I couldn't even calculate the amount of blood deducted.
Xia Zuo could only adopt the stupidest but most stable idea - to increase the blood recovery speed to 45 points/hour. After all the special effects of [Emergency Moment] are triggered, the blood return speed will be equal to the blood deduction speed.
He focused on the plus sign next to [Vitality].
Fortunately, the confinement effect blocked the pain. At this time, except for a little numbness, there was no other feeling in his body, so that he would not be unable to add some points to the severe pain.
Chaos effects don't seem to work on point-adding actions.
Xia Zuo added points dozens of times in a row without any mistakes. He could accurately place the points on the correct plus sign every time.
The process of trying out the poison's effect became a simple game of adding points, and I never experienced severe pain.
It's just a waste of 80 silver dollars that hurts...
Why..
Three hours later.
【Level】LV.24
【Vitality】38+20→58
[HP] 80/210 (slightly poisoned)
[Basic blood return speed]
45 points/hour
[Real-time blood return speed]
67.5 points/hour ([Emergency Time] is in effect.)
[Free Attribute Points] 40-20 → 20 points
Xia Zuo shook his groggy head and sat up, lowered his head and opened his collar to take a look at his appearance.
The red skin is quickly returning to its normal color, and the hard lumps under the skin are also rapidly melting away.
For others, the elemental poison that would kill them after taking it did not leave even a scar on Xia Zuo's body.
"Hehe... What a tenacious vitality. With this blood speed, who can kill me? Huh? Who can kill me?"
Xia Zuo rubbed his hands excitedly, a smile full of security appeared on his face.
After becoming a mage, there will definitely be no shortage of attack methods, not to mention the existence of weapon alchemy.
Only absolutely thick blood volume and super high resistance are the ultimate goals worth pursuing!
The message from Goldfinger came to my mind:
"Successful consumption of elemental toxins will reward you with 300 experience points, 0.3 willpower points, and a 0.3% increase in four-series resistance."
Xia Zuo had already thought of a countermeasure to deal with the inquiry about the elemental toxin used for poison testing. If Beatrice didn't ask, he wouldn't take the initiative to explain.
There was only half of the toxin powder left on the bedside table, and I couldn't get enough to take it again to get the reward.
After the vitality attribute value exceeds 50 points, no new specialty rewards will appear. Maybe you can get a higher value.
Xia Zuo shook his head regretfully and put the elemental toxins on the tray back into the metal box.
Next, it’s time to get down to business.
First try once to tame the unruly elements with basic meditation.
If taming is successful, contain it immediately. If it fails, use the [Toxic Crystal] meditation method instead.
Xia Zuo closed his suitcase, drank the functional potion prepared in advance on the table, picked up the elemental confinement bottle and sat on the bed.
Cover the mouth of the bottle with your right hand and enter shallow meditation.
There was a tingling sensation in the palm of my hand. If I were weak-willed, I might not be able to maintain shallow meditation in this state.
Xia Zuo calmed down, stared at the brown light spots in the bottle, and used his mind to outline the elemental patterns that "shaped" the characteristics over and over again around it.
The pain in my palms began to fade.
After maintaining shallow meditation for several hours, night fell outside the window and the room fell into darkness.
It was late at night, and Xia Zuo found that the pain in his palms had become extremely weak and was turning into numbness.
He raised his left hand and took the concentration potion on the bedside table. The light blue potion slipped into his mouth and entered deep meditation.
In the spiritual ocean.
The cute elements of the wind system that were originally floating around are now fitting onto the lines that [shape] the characteristics.
It keeps spinning around the brown light on this wall, helping its owner to persuade the unruly elements outside the body to accept this simple spiritual ocean.
If you want to know how the clever element does all this, you have to learn the high-level [Eye of Kolas] meditation method.
All Xia Zuo can do now is to face the brown light and continue to use his mind to outline the characteristic elemental patterns until the hazy and fluffy light converges into clear small spots of light.
Time flies in deep meditation.
Early morning fifteen days later.
Xia Zuo woke up from meditation and felt a soft and pleasing touch on his palm.
Done, tamed successfully.
He moved his limbs a little, keeping his right hand on the bottle cap. After drinking the second batch of functional potions, he entered deep meditation again.
Another fifteen days passed.
Xia Zuo climbed out of bed with difficulty, held onto the wall and went to the bathroom to take a shower, reading the information on Goldfinger while washing in warm water.
【Spirit】21.7 points
[[Spirit Slot] 6.5/84
[Elemental Characteristics]
[[Earth Trait] Shaping x1
【Spell Power】
[[Earth power] 1 point
(Only the new items are written, others are omitted.)
With the earth element of the [Shaping] trait, you can learn the fireball technique!
Xia Zuo put on clean clothes, took out his pocket watch and checked the time.
2pm.
Just in time to go find a tutor to learn new spells.
He tidied up the dormitory, opened the door, and walked quickly to the spiral stairwell of the tower.
