Chapter 95 2000 points
Beatrice looked at the complicated-looking student, smiled and said:
"The master-level elemental bottle requires 25,000 points. I have already calculated it for you. When Anruer first practiced meditation, if you only obtained points through the poison order, you would be short of about 2,000 points before you could redeem the master Level elemental bottle. This is not a point gap that I deliberately set, I just discovered it."
She snapped her fingers lightly and said, "If you help Dim catch the traitor in the fourth category of mages, I will give you 2,000 points as reward. How about it? Do you want to accept this task?"
When Xia Zuo heard that there were 2,000 points available, he immediately took out his points book and looked at the points balance recorded on it:
[Mage Guild Points] 10560 points
The income from poison orders is approximately 270 to 340 points per month. Indeed, as the instructor said, there will be a difference of about 2,000 points.
Xia Zuo's eyes flickered and he decided to take on this task.
He was just about to reply to his mentor when he suddenly thought of the four types of mages mentioned earlier and asked:
"Professor, can I use my points to redeem the qualification to travel to the Eastern Continent?"
"cannot."
Beatrice shook her head, "I know what you are thinking. If you want Anru'er to follow you on a trip to the Eastern Continent... I think she may still be qualified."
"Why?" Xia Zuo looked at his mentor and blinked.
"You may not have noticed one thing. Anruer's alchemy potential is very good."
Beatrice said with an appreciative tone:
“I confirmed this while teaching her Functional Pharmacy.
"The quality of the functional potions she makes are almost all of perfect quality. It's no wonder that some fussy Professor Zhuolang will hand over the oil potion order to Anruer. Don't forget, she started refining it at the entry-level stage The oil preparation agent has been delivered to orders outside the school."
Xia Zuo touched the hair on the top of his head. He had judged Anruer's alchemy potential, but he had not thought about it from the perspective of an order.
Whether it is a poison order or an order from other disciplines, there is a very special point - the product quality they require must be perfect quality.
Because alchemical products of other qualities can be produced by the resident mage or assistant, there is no need to entrust them to the academy.
"Have you never asked her about the details of refining oils and potions?" Beatrice asked doubtfully.
"Uh, yes..."
Xia Zuo scratched his head.
"But I roughly know that her alchemy potential is very good... A few years ago, she and I refined poison together in the poison alchemy area. Looking back now, her alchemy potential is probably at the top level of the fourth or fifth level."
"Hmm~ Then let me tell you another secret. For students of oil and potion alchemy, the higher the alchemy potential, the greater the possibility of conceiving the properties of rare elements."
Beatrice bent her elbows and rested them on the table, folding her hands to support her chin, "Those elemental qualities that can expand the spiritual ocean faster are, without exception, the rarest qualities. This is reflected in the primary meditation method. You should know."
Xia Zuo nodded.
"It's true that rare traits limit the number of spells that can be learned, but they still have some unique and exclusive spells. These exclusive spells can't be cast with other elemental traits."
Beatrice raised her lips and said, "If Anru'er obtains this exclusive spell, she can still go to the Eastern Continent. The chance is very low. In the past two hundred years of the school, only one person has been gifted with the spell. And were allowed to go to the Eastern Continent.”
Xia Zuo raised his shoulders and said helplessly: "It depends on her luck..."
"It also depends on how hard you work."
Beatrice snapped her fingers to attract the students' attention.
"Mrs. Morton and her husband are students at the academy, and both are from the Western Continent. Her husband's gifted spells are very useful, and he is now working hard in the Eastern Continent, striving to bring his wife and children over as soon as possible. In the future, you You can also do this. Or, return to the Western Continent with the mission of the Mage Temple and continue living with your loved ones."
"No wonder Senior Mars never mentioned his father." Xia Zuo raised his eyebrows, he thought...
Beatrice changed the subject, pointed to the points booklet in the opponent's hand and asked:
"Back to the topic, are you willing to take on this task? I don't force you."
"Of course, Professor." Xia Zuo grinned.
Beatrice suppressed the smile on her face and said in a more serious tone:
"Then you have to remember that you cannot tell anyone else what you heard today and the entire process of investigating the fourth type of mage with Dim."
"Yes, Professor." Xia Zuo responded with a solemn nod.
"Well, in about three months, the permission order from the Mage Temple will arrive, and I will notify you then."
Beatrice pondered for a moment, tilted her head, and lifted her hanging hair, "By the way, how is your derivation of the elemental toxin formula going?"
"I have made a lot of new discoveries." Xia Zuo found a thick notebook from his schoolbag, opened one page and handed it to his instructor.
When identifying elemental toxins, he could never accurately identify the poisonous effects.
Before taking the elemental toxin to test the poison, he guessed that the manufacturer deliberately added ingredients to the elemental toxin that would interfere with the identification.
But the results of the poison test feedback reminded Xia Zuo of one thing.
It may be some kind of poisonous effect that produces this encryption-like effect in order to protect the formula from being cracked.
The first thing Xia Zuo deduced was the compound toxin with chaotic effects.
The results of the deduction are somewhat surprising, but also expected.
Under the premise of using only two basic toxins, there are actually five types of compound toxins that can cause chaos.
Each compound poison has a chaotic effect and additional poisonous effects.
In other words, it is not enough to deduce 8 types of complex toxins, you must also deduce the corresponding base liquid formula.
The workload of deducing elemental poisons is far greater than imagined.
This is not over yet.
Xia Zuo discovered that after mixing a toxin with a chaotic effect into the black-eye poison, the identified poisonous effect would change randomly, but as long as it was repeated enough times, the poisonous effect of the black-eye poison could still be identified.
After repeated experiments, he confirmed that only by combining the confinement effect and the chaos effect can the effect of shielding identification be achieved.
until today.
Xia Zuo has produced an antidote to break the shielding identification effect, and identified the remaining 6 poisonous effects of elemental toxins.
At this time, he put it in the notebook in front of the instructor, recording his thinking and deduction process in detail.
Beatrice read page after page, tapping her chin from time to time and letting out a soft hum with affirmation.
"Very good, Xia Zuo. I am very satisfied that you can discover the effects of confinement poison and chaos poison so early."
Beatrice said with a smile, closed the notebook and handed it back, "Let's refine the poison."
"Goodbye, professor." Xia Zuo packed his schoolbag and walked to the door.
There was the sound of swish writing behind him. When he closed the door and looked back, Beatrice was already immersed in handling official duties.
At noon.
In the restaurant of the school.
Xia Zuo and Anruer sat on the same side of the seat, and there were delicious dishes on the dining table.
Xia Zuo turned sideways, held the other person's delicate face with both hands, and rubbed it back and forth a few times, "Do you know that most of the oils and potions you make are of perfect quality?"
"Well," Anru'er muttered as she chewed a small piece of steak, "Zidao, doesn't this seem normal? You seem to be like this too."
She swallowed the food in her mouth and said with a smile:
"Did the head of the college tell you that? Humph, it's not like you've been immersed in refining poisons and not talking to other students. As early as a few months ago, when I was promoted to a skilled functional pharmacist , the head of the hospital praised me in public."
"Ah..." Xia Zuo was speechless. He was indeed a bit starved of information.
Everyday life was divided between three o'clock and one line, and he was the only student of Beatrice. He only learned about many interesting things after An Ru'er told them about them, and he never took the initiative to pay attention to things other than poison refining.
"I also know a little secret of yours."
Anru'er blinked her left eye, and her sweet smile showed deep love.
She hugged Xia Zuo's shoulders and whispered in his ear: "You are saving points to help me redeem master-level element bottles."
"You know?!" Xia Zuo was in a daze.
"Have you forgotten which alchemy I am studying now?"
He was so focused on refining poison that he forgot about this... Xia Zuo covered his forehead and said, "Elemental Representation."
"Yeah." Anru'er shook her head up and down. "The introductory textbook introduces meditation and mentions the role of the master-level element bottle. Professor Bethel also said that it takes 25,000 points to redeem a master-level elemental bottle. Elemental bottles. A normal mage apprentice would have to save for ten years to save this amount."
"I never thought I was so important in your heart."
Anruer put her head on her boyfriend's shoulder, with two blushes flying on her cheeks, "I have given you the most precious thing, and I can't give you more in return. I can only work hard to learn elemental representation and be serious. Refining oils and potions, and conceiving rare elemental qualities, so that I can live up to everything you have given me."
"Is this part of elemental characteristics also taught in elemental concreteness?" Xia Zuo asked softly.
"Yeah. The class also introduced the spiritual ocean, basic meditation methods, and other meditation methods from the school."
Xia Zuo pondered for a moment and said:
"Now that you know the reason why I am saving points... I have to tell you something. In three months, I will leave the school. My instructor has assigned me a task. It will take about a few months before I can come back."
"Is it dangerous? Will I run into bad people?" Anruer sat up straight and held her boyfriend's hand nervously.
"It's not dangerous." Xia Zuo shook his head calmly, "And you won't encounter bad people. I can't tell you what the specific mission is, because my mentor gave me a gag order."
"Huh~ That's good." Anru'er stretched out her finger and tapped her chin, "In three months' time, I should be preparing for the promotion test of Elemental Representation."
An Ru'er thought for a while and clapped her hands, "I remembered that when you left the school, I happened to be in the dormitory making entry-level element bottles, and I couldn't leave the dormitory for many days in a row. "
"That's good." Xia Zuo grinned. "When we are both mage apprentices in the future, we can make an appointment to cultivate together, so that the other party won't have to wait."
"Hmm~" Anruer smiled sweetly, picked up a piece of steak with a fork and brought it to her boyfriend's mouth.
The two continued to enjoy a sumptuous lunch.
White clouds drifted leisurely, and the sun was blocked by the clouds, casting silhouettes on the castle, grassland and lake of Starry Night Academy.
