My health recovery is incredibly fast.

But ultimately, it cannot escape the fate of becoming obsolete when its lifespan is over—or perhaps it will explode. The Temple of Mages will not allow the Church of the Otherworld to obtain its cutting-edge technology.

So... is there anything that can be continuously regenerated?

Xia Zuo thought of himself and his bloodline servants.

Theoretically speaking, as long as his health regeneration speed is fast enough and the [Immortal Body] effect is effective, there is no damage that cannot be repaired.

If he wanted, he could create thousands of different blood points as commands, and then create a complete logic system and instruction set for the blood element servants that received the commands... He wouldn't have to worry about consumption at all; as long as he replenished his blood, he could easily solve many of the problems that plagued the alchemy school.

But... what's the point of doing this?

Xia Zuo scratched his head.

He felt the idea in his head was awesome... but he couldn't explain its purpose, and couldn't think of any point in doing it for the time being.

Forget it.

I'm not going to think about it anymore.

Xia Zuo pressed a button on the left armrest to restore the metal frame, walked to the shelf, and loaded a large amount of raw materials for the alchemical bionic system onto a tray.

It is 1:22 PM.

Xia Zuo has identified the alchemical and energy reactions of erogen.

The next step is to determine the compatibility of oxokinin with the raw materials of various alchemical biomimetic systems.

Only those erucic acid molecules that do not react with raw materials and can exist stably on the raw materials are suitable as carriers of energy pulses.

Before officially starting, Xia Zuo first entered a deep meditation in his chair, carefully reviewing the relevant steps and instructions before beginning the identification process.

...

It was 6 p.m.

Xia Zuo put down his pen, loosened his wrist, and looked at his classmates. Some of them were used to using the Wind Hand to write, while others, like Xia Zuo, preferred the feeling of writing by hand.

The door to the alchemy room opened, and Adanavados stepped inside.

The students stood quietly beside their desks, hands at their sides, waiting for their tutors to check their assignments for the day.

Adanavardos waved his hand, and the notebooks on the students' desks floated to him and unfolded in front of him.

He commented on several students' assignments, and before reviewing Xia Zuo's assignment, he beckoned to Xia Zuo to stand next to him.

"Everyone, this is your new classmate, Xia Zuo."

Xia Zuo greeted his classmates with a polite smile and nodded, thus formally introducing himself to them.

Adanavados glanced at his homework, nodded in satisfaction, put the notebook back in Shazo's hands, and then announced the end of get out of class.

The students left the alchemy room one by one after their mentor left.

Xia Zuo discovered that after reaching the Master level, almost every alchemist was somewhat socially awkward... When there was no need to communicate, alchemists living under the same roof would not talk about anything outside of their alchemical work...

Emily was pretty much the same.

After a quiet afternoon of experiments, she noticed that Xia Zuo's enthusiasm had quickly subsided. She greeted him and left the alchemy lab, returning to her dormitory to review today's lessons and prepare for tomorrow's work.

Xia Zuo, considering his marital status, also intentionally kept his distance from the opposite sex, so he was happy to do so.

He was the only one left in the alchemy room.

Xia Zuo opened the study manual his tutor had given him to see what tomorrow's assignment was, planning to start working on it tonight.

Chapter 34 Precise Positioning

The second page of the study manual reads:

[A bait substance with the serial number tp01-01-023 was produced.]

The bait mentioned in the task requirements is the bait with the characteristics that Xia Zuo identified today.

The process of refining bait can be divided into two parts.

The first part is to refine the compound toxin corresponding to the oxanthin.

The product quality must be perfect, and the completion rate must be 100%!

There is no room for error on this point.

In the second part, Xia Zuo will need to divide the compound toxin using an alchemical tool called a millimeter knife to cut it into alkaloids. This step will damage the compound toxin, and its quality will inevitably decrease.

Refining compound toxins was very easy for Xia Zuo. In about an hour, he produced ten portions of alchemical products that were ready to be divided.

Before operating the millimeter knife, he had to fix the compound toxin to the bracket in front of the observation seat so that, with the help of a high-magnification lens, he could precisely cut the compound toxin according to its appearance characteristics.

Each oxometal that can exist stably in the air has a fixed appearance and internal structure.

This is the result of numerous cutting experiments; other types of appearance and internal structure all have some defects to varying degrees.

When cutting the compound toxin, Xia Zuo does not hold the millimeter knife with both hands, but controls the mechanical arm hanging from the ceiling by using the buttons and joysticks on the left and right armrests, so that it moves the blade head according to the operator's command.

When a toxic substance passes the experimental stage and enters mass production, the step of cutting the complex toxin will be handled by the Alchemist of Wonders.

Every master alchemist who is proficient in elemental representation and the study of wondrous objects can simultaneously operate several highly automated alchemical machines to cut complex toxins according to predetermined operating procedures.

Repetitive and precise tasks like this are usually handled by alchemists specializing in automated production. This is an intersection of elemental representation and the study of ingenious objects; one must complete advanced studies in both of these alchemical disciplines to access this field.

Xia Zuo personally controlled the robotic arm to complete the cutting at this time in order to prepare for the future development of erbium.

Until the stable appearance and internal structure of a venom are discovered, poison alchemists can only cut complex toxins manually.

Xia Zuo took an hour to complete the first cut.

"Completion rate is only 77%..."

Xia Zuo crossed his arms and stared at the support frame in front of him with a slight frown.

The erox used as experimental samples all had a completion rate of over 90%.

77% of the cut products weren't even considered defective; they could only be blown away as dust.

This was the first time Xia Zuo had created something with such a low level of completion since he began studying alchemy…

He walked to the control panel on the bookshelf, pressed a few buttons, entered the number of the erogen, and then stepped into the glass partition to learn about the research and development process of this erogen.

This oxin was discovered 110 years ago by a poison alchemist. According to later statistics, the alchemist tried nearly 10 times to cut the compound toxin before he could produce a product with an 80% success rate.

Hmm... It seems that it's not that Xia Zuo's cutting skills are lacking, but rather that the difficulty in making bait is too high.

Cutting the complex toxin with a millimeter knife is more like carving a tiny, openwork wood carving using micro-sculpture techniques.

Often, due to the angle of observation, Xia Zuo cannot see the position of the blade and can only make cuts by feel.

If a method can be found to always see the contact surface between the blade and the compound toxin, the product's completion rate will definitely be very high.

Some detection spells can achieve this effect.

However, when magical energy comes into contact with toxins, random consequences will occur. Either the elemental traces on the toxins will be washed away by the magical energy, causing the poison's effects to be lost, or the magical energy and toxins will react, resulting in confusion or deviation.

Therefore, when detecting toxins, spells that enhance the ability to sense elemental light, such as [Toxin Sense], are generally used instead of directly releasing energy onto the toxins themselves.

The magical approach didn't work, and alchemy didn't offer a good solution either...

This exploration was shelved due to technical difficulties, becoming an indelible scar in the history of alchemy's research on oxokinin.

Xia Zuo stepped out of the glass partition and pressed a few buttons on the panel to have the robotic arm put the books back in their original positions.

He paced back and forth in the alchemy room, feeling that he had a way of sensing the position of the millimeter blade tip inside the toxin.

He has two ideas.

The first idea is to create a Blood Servant and share the Perception attribute value with it.

Then, let the highly perceptive Blood Element servant envelop the poison, insert the millimeter blade deep into the servant's body, and while sensing the position of the blade tip through the connection between Shazo and the Blood Element servant, cut the poison.

This approach is absolutely feasible.

When Xia Zuo was flying in the territory of Stillwater Town, controlling Blood Element Servant No. 6 carrying a shooting device, he discovered a situation:

When a Blood Servant envelops an item, in addition to activating [Flesh and Blood Control] to forcibly digest the item, it can also perceive the item's internal structure. The higher the Blood Servant's perception attribute value, the more and clearer the details of the item it perceives.

Xia Zuo now possessed 12 points of perception, which, while insufficient to perceive all the details of the poison, was still better than blindly attacking.

Besides that, there is a second approach.

He can activate the "Flesh and Blood Palm" to create a tiny blood dot as a blood marker, attach it to the blade, and determine the blade's position by sensing the location of the blood marker.

This approach is difficult to implement.

The main reason is that the blood marker may be dissolved by the toxin, which is in principle the same as using a detection spell to detect the toxin.

Because it is located in the temple, creating a blood element servant with a spiritual ocean is easily detected.

Xia Zuo decided to only try the second approach.

His gaze swept across the walls, floor, and ceiling of the alchemy chamber, but he found no trace of spell alarm arrays or props—because the energy fluctuations of such things would affect the fragile alchemist, so the temple did not place them in the alchemy chamber.

That couldn't be better.

Xia Zuo tucked his right hand into the sleeve of his robe, rubbed his fingers together, and used 1 point of health to create a blood point.

He took an empty glass container, sealed the blood spots inside a double-layered glass slide, and placed it on the support of the observation chair for observation.

The diameter of a blood spot is approximately 0.5 millimeters, comparable to the largest dust particle.

In the previous life, there was a name called "p2.5". Here, p stands for micrometer. p2.5 refers to dust particles with a diameter of less than 2.5 micrometers (0.0025 millimeters).

Particles of this size can easily pass through the alveoli and reach the bloodstream, posing a significant threat to human health.

The 0.5-millimeter bloodstain that Xia Zuo condensed... was more like a piece of booger that would make your nostrils itch... and it was not harmful to the human body.

A millimeter knife is a tool used to cut items at the millimeter level; its blade must be less than 1 millimeter thick to be used to cut toxins.

Xia Zuo examined it with a high-magnification lens and found that the blade of the millimeter knife was about 0.2 millimeters thick. From the magnified appearance, it looked more like a thin, solid needle.

Now, Xia Zuo has to use a millimeter knife to cut the blood spots, trimming them to a size smaller than 0.2 millimeters, so that they can adhere to the blade.

He gently turned the pulley on the joystick with his right hand, making a small cut with the millimeter blade.

The bloodspot's health was instantly depleted, and the bloodspot disappeared instantly.
