At noon on the same day.

Xia Zuo and Anruer walked into the restaurant.

A few days ago, the head of the college announced the general course examination results for the third batch of freshmen.

The second batch of students who failed to retake the course have left the school.

The number of people in the school dropped sharply.

The layout of the restaurant has been adjusted. The number of round tables in the center has been reduced from 3 to 2, but the tables around it have not changed, so the entire restaurant appears more spacious and comfortable.

Xia Zuo walked to the awning on the terrace, looked around and then sat down.

Corrie Muller, the miller's daughter of Rosasac, sat under an awning not far away.

She is already a skilled functional pharmacist. She has a beautiful face and long flaxen hair that makes her more approachable, attracting the attention of many classmates. At this time, she was chatting with several school girls, sharing her experience in potion and alchemy.

Yolanda, the assistant teacher of Poison Alchemy, sat in a remote corner. There was a boy sitting opposite her. Xia Zuo took a closer look and found that the boy's name was Klin. He was a student in the third class and also majored in the Poison Alchemy Department.

Students of Elemental Representation, Finn and Eileen were chatting cordially in their seats. Both of them had very high spiritual values ​​when they entered school, and their academic abilities were among the best. They seemed to have a lot in common with each other.

Unknowingly, many people were missing from the school.

Merben Riley Jr., Mason, Brandon, Hodge, Bisanger

There are also many people whose names and appearances cannot be remembered and can only be found from the feedback records of scrying...

They are like passers-by in life, appearing in a hurry and leaving sadly without causing any waves.

Xia Zuo withdrew his gaze and looked at An Ru'er who was ordering food beside him. His eyes softened and he raised his hand to pinch the cute bun on the top of her head.

"I want to eat this, and this, and this, and then this..." An Ruer muttered while writing a few words on the menu.

Xia Zuo took a closer look. In addition to his favorite steak, Anruer also ordered a lot of things, such as pan-fried steak, thick borscht, mushroom sandwiches, vegetable salads...

"You are in a good mood today." Xia Zuo rubbed the other person's cheek, "Is there anything happy about you?"

"Hehe~" An Ru'er turned her head and showed a sweet smile, "I took off my job as a temporary teaching assistant and prepared to study oil alchemy with all my strength. In three or four months at most, I can learn something new. Alchemy."

"Then what kind of alchemy do you want to learn?" Xia Zuo rang the bell and asked the elemental servant to take away the menu.

"I haven't thought about it yet. However, Professor Zhuolang said that the quality of the oil I refined is very good, and I can still help him refine the oil in exchange for remuneration in the future. Even if I don't delay my studies, I won't abandon the job of making money."

Anruer shook her head proudly and looked eagerly in the direction of the kitchen, eager to start eating.

Xia Zuo scratched the back of his head, thoughts flooding into his mind.

It took Anruer about two years to complete the proficiency-level content of oil alchemy in three or four months. Subtracting the time spent studying general courses, the time spent as a temporary teaching assistant, and the time spent helping Professor Zhuo Lang refine oil alchemy. Time to complete a course of alchemy.

It takes 8 years to complete all four subjects, and there are currently 6 years left.

If you want to earn 25,000 points in 6 years, the average is 4,200 points per year, which is about 350 points per month.

Xia Zuo rubbed his chin and frowned slightly, feeling that his time was running out.

The process of being promoted to expert poison alchemist must be accelerated, and the points-earning tasks must be discussed with the instructor as early as possible.

Elemental servants floated over with trays.

"Eat, eat." Anruer brought the food on the tray to the table, laid a tablecloth in front of her boyfriend, and put down the knife, fork and plate.

Xia Zuo stood up and said, "I'll get a drink. You eat first."

"Hmm..." Anruer stuffed a mouthful of fried pork steak into her mouth and hummed twice indistinctly.

When Xia Zuo came back with sparkling water and juice, most of the pan-fried pork chop in front of her was missing.

"This steak is really tender. The rest is for you." Anruer took the juice and said with a smile.

After Xia Zuo sat down, he picked up the steak with a fork, made a circle around his mouth, and finally stuffed it into the other person's mouth.

"Hmm." Anru'er held the steak in her mouth, curved her mouth upwards, hugged Xia Zuo's shoulders and rubbed her affectionately for a few times, then picked up the knife and fork and pounced on the next dish.

Xia Zuo intends to accelerate his promotion to expert poison alchemist.

He adjusted the arrangements for stripping off the toxins. After stripping off the toxins for the day, he would take time to refine the next day's liquid.

In this case, the frequency of peeling off once a day in the past has barely increased to three peeling off every two days.

About two months later.

One afternoon.

Sunlight filled the corridors of the tower, leaving bright squares on the red carpet.

Two figures walked through the corridor where light and shadow intertwined, and entered the large alchemy room of the tower.

On the shelf on the right side of the door, there are 150 bottles of black eye poison that have successfully stripped off the extra poisonous effects.

This is the result of nearly 150 days of refining.

Behind Xia Zuo, Beatrice followed the students into the large alchemy room.

She walked slowly in front of the shelves, checking the glass bottles on the shelves one by one.

"Very good, Xia Zuo. After 150 tests of stripping away the poison's effects, you produced 150 bottles of perfect quality target poison."

When Xia Zuo heard his mentor's praise, a heartfelt smile appeared on his face.

Only he himself knows.

Among these 150 bottles of poison, only the first 100 bottles were made with the detection technique.

The next 50 bottles were made entirely based on his own [Elemental Vision], poison refining feel and accumulated experience.

In other words, even without the aid of detection, he is now a truly skilled poison alchemist.

Beatrice waved to the students to follow her.

The two left the large alchemy room and came to the study to sit down face to face.

Beatrice leaned on the back of the chair, her robes outlined her curves, and she put her arms on the armrests and said:

"Then, you can start the test to be promoted to expert poison alchemist. You need to use at least 6 basic toxins to develop new poisons and strip them of their useless poisonous effects. Do you have a general development idea?"

"I already have an idea, Professor."

Xia Zuo pondered for a few seconds and then said:

"That's right. After I finished practicing meditation for the first time, I tried to deduce the formula of elemental toxins. This gave me a lot of inspiration."

He paused, spread his hands and said sincerely:

"I deduced the formula of elemental poison not to leak it out. I know I don't have the ability. I am just curious about the principle of its poisonous effect. I want to understand why its poisonous effect can be contained in the spiritual ocean. inside"

After Beatrice heard what the student said, she rested her right elbow on the armrest of the chair, lowered her head and raised her hand to gently twitch her chin, "What is your idea of ​​deducing elemental poisons?"

Xia Zuo thought for a while and said:

"In my opinion, elemental poison has an obvious characteristic. Its poisonous effect can be contained in the elemental ocean.

“So, I had a bold idea.

"Perhaps it is possible to find which basic toxins' toxic effects are contained in the spiritual ocean in a deep meditative state... They may be the raw materials of elemental toxins."

Xia Zuo looked at the frowning mentor and added, "Well, I haven't tried it, and I don't know if it's feasible."

Beatrice raised her head, her hair falling from her fair neck, "Your idea is correct."

"My thinking is correct?!" Xia Zuo's eyes widened, feeling a little surprised. This wild idea turned out to be right.

"Yeah." Beatrice paused, stared at her student, and said:

"Let me tell you this.

"Accommodating all the toxic effects of 60 basic toxins into the spiritual ocean. Then deducing the toxic effects of compound toxins in the spiritual ocean is what an expert poison alchemist has to do every day.

"Professor Kulov often meditates, studying poisons in the spiritual ocean. Of course, he is more interested in studying elemental poisonous crystals."

"Hiss" Xia Zuo took a breath, but he didn't expect that what he was thinking about would actually be linked to an expert poison alchemist.

No wonder Professor Kulov meditates all day long. He has never been seen playing with toxin bottles in order to develop poisons. It turns out that he is doing experiments in the spiritual ocean.

It seems that the Poison Alchemy subject allows students with excellent alchemical potential and the ability to conceive the characteristics of elements on their own to practice meditation in advance, in order to prepare for the teaching content at the expert level.

Beatrice took out a locked metal box from the drawer.

She picked up a finger-sized glass bottle and asked, "Do you remember this potion?"

"Remember, Professor Kulov once asked me to drink it." Xia Zuo looked at the red thin line in the bottle and said, his heart beating a little faster.

"After you complete the test to advance to the expert level, you must drink ten bottles of this potion."

"Ten?!"

How much experience and vitality attribute does this cost? ?

No matter how deep the city is, Xia Zuo can't keep calm at this time.

He came back to his senses in time and sighed in a surprised tone:

"Professor, I heard Professor Kulov say that this medicine is more expensive than the shops on two streets..."

Beatrice put the potion back into the metal box and said at the same time:

"Compared to an expert poison alchemist, these expenses are nothing. The veterans of poison alchemy are still very generous in this regard."

She put the metal box away and looked at the still shocked students, "Let's get back to the topic. Do you have a plan to develop a new poison?"

"Yes, Professor, look."

Xia Zuo calmed down the turmoil in his heart, took out his notebook from his schoolbag, turned to one of the pages and put it on the desk, showing the above line to his instructor:

[A long-acting poison that has a chance of preventing the caster from entering shallow meditation. 】

There are dozens of lines of text below this sentence, which record the ideas and original intentions of this plan.

Beatrice glanced at the content on the page, raised her lips and joked:

"Not long after you became a mage apprentice, you are already thinking about dealing with yourself."

Xia Zuo scratched his head sheepishly.

The research plan for this new poison was finalized by him after careful consideration.

[Spellcasting Instinct] The effect description of this specialty clearly mentions that spells can be cast without entering a shallow meditation state.

Therefore, the new poison actually has no effect on himself. It is equivalent to gaining experience and giving away a poisonous effect without side effects.

Xia Zuo also considered other poisonous effects that lasted longer.

But they will more or less have a negative impact on body appearance and daily work.

For example, the poisonous effect called Hemoptysis.

During the duration of this poisonous effect, the poisoned person will cough non-stop. Each cough will involve the wound deep in the throat, and blood will flow out while spitting.

In short, after comprehensive weighing, Xia Zuo finalized the current plan and also explored some feasible paths.

Beatrice read the words on the page carefully, moved her head slightly, closed the notebook, and handed it back to the student across the desk.

"It's a good idea. It can work. Just follow this plan and try it. From now on, you can study the formula of new poisons during the day and come to my place to practice spells at night."

"Yes, Professor."

Xia Zuo discussed the alternatives with his mentor, and then went to the big alchemy room to study poisons.

The expert level promotion test requires the use of at least 6 basic toxins.

After Xia Zuo started refining the poison according to the established research direction, he gradually noticed a detail that he had never noticed before.

The poisons refined before were all mentioned in the textbook, with clear formulas and refining ideas.

He always thought that certain poisonous effects would only appear on certain poisons.

After numerous attempts at refining poisons, Xia Zuo was surprised to find that more than one compound toxin contained the poisonous effect he needed.

Many times, a compound toxin will contain several poisonous effects, and one of them happens to be suitable.

This should be the most difficult part of this test.

The more basic toxins are used, the more types of toxic effects the poison will have, and accordingly, the number of useless poison effects will also increase.

The number of toxic effects of the product must be controlled, preferably only 2.

With 6 basic toxins stacked together, how can we achieve only 2 poisonous effects?

Xia Zuo thought of the antidote and suddenly understood.

If the six basic toxins are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

Let the poisonous effects produced by Nos. 1 and 2 react with the poisonous effects produced by Nos. 3 and 4, and only one new poisonous effect will be produced.

At the same time, make sure that No. 5 and No. 6 produce only one poisonous effect.

In this case, there are only two types of final toxic effects of the resulting product!

Another idea works too.

The three toxins 1, 2, and 3 react and only produce one poisonous effect. The same goes for the other three toxins. After adding the two groups, the number of poisonous effects can also be controlled at 2.

The expert-level promotion test requires the flexible use of proficient-level knowledge.

Xia Zuo was sure that he had found the right idea.

He devoted himself wholeheartedly to researching new formulas, and his only leisure activities every day were eating, walking, and chatting with Anruer.

Even the use of poison to gain experience has been put aside for the time being, and only the spell training every night has been retained. There is no other way, there is really no time to refine the black eye poison.

In the morning more than 1 month later.

In the great alchemy room.

5 bottles of poison with purple light appeared on the storage table.

After Xia Zuo cleaned up the alchemy table, he sat at the table and used the detection technique on the glass bottle.

[Item name] Interference poison

[Prop type] Poison

[Item Level] Skilled Level

[Props Quality] Completeness 100%, perfect

[Related Resistance] Four lines of resistance

It is expected that after the resistance of all four series reaches 6%, the impact of this prop on the host will be significantly reduced.

[Props Description] The developer and producer are both Xia Zuo

[Props Effect]

After taking this poison, you will get 3 layers of interference effects and 3 layers of silly fun effects, both of which last for 3 hours (2.85 hours).

For each layer of interference effect, there is a 15% (13.35%) chance of failure each time you enter a shallow meditation state.

For each layer of Silly Joy effect, there is a 15% (13.35%) chance of making a silly laugh every 10 minutes.

(The calculation results affected by willpower and resistance are in parentheses.)
