My health recovery is incredibly fast.

The professor of functional pharmacy is Beatrice, the head of the college.

She is also a professor of alchemical languages. All students are required to take her alchemical language courses.

The field of oil alchemy ranks second in number, but it has no sub-disciplines and is taught by a single professor, Zoran. The painter Anruer becomes his student.

Ten minutes later, the once crowded group of new students was quickly reduced to just a few people.

Even Mars led a group of new students away from here.

Xia Zuo cast a detection spell on the remaining people.

Their willpower attribute is 7 points.

The spirit attribute is also 7 points, which is just enough to reach the minimum threshold for generating elemental resistance.

Xia Zuo looked at his character template.

..

vitality14

Willpower 3

Spirit 2.8

..

Use vitality to compensate for insufficient willpower.

As for the spirit, based on my reading experience over the past two months, there will be no qualitative change until 9 o'clock, and you will not be able to see the light in the element bottle.

Overall, the likelihood of being found to have substandard attributes is relatively small.

"Mason, Brandon, Shazo."

Dim waved his hand and walked toward the doorway that appeared deep in the hall, saying:

"You three come with me."

"Professor Kulov, who specializes in poison alchemy, is your mentor."

Xia Zuochao used his detection spell on Dim's back to record the feedback, intending to review it later when he had free time.

Masson and Brandon are two ordinary-looking boys.

He looks to be about the same age as Xia Zuo, and their body types are also similar.

The three followed Dim into the corridor, walked about 20 meters under the orange light, and came to a room with an iron wardrobe and a shower.

Dim took a key out of his pocket, took three keys from it, and distributed them to the three boys.

"Keep the keys safe. You are Kulov's students. I will take special care of you."

Tim stood in front of the three boys and said in a deep voice:

"The poison alchemy area is completely separate from the rest of the castle."

"There is only one passage in and out."

Do you know why?

Xia Zuo, Mason, and Brandon exchanged glances, and the three of them nodded to Dim.

Mars once said at the testing station in Rosac that the products of poison alchemy are all highly toxic.

The Starry Night Castle separated the poison alchemy area to prevent the highly toxic substances from spreading to other areas.

"Very good, I don't need to explain anymore."

Tim pointed to the wardrobe and the shower room and said:

"Remember, every time you enter or leave the poison alchemy area, you must shower here for 5 minutes and change your clothes. Now go and change into the robe, gloves, and shoes in the closet."

Xia Zuo found the wardrobe with his name on it, opened it with the key he had just received, picked up the basket containing the clothes inside, and headed to the shower room.

A few minutes later.

He came out wearing a black leather robe.

The cuffs and collar were tied with thin ropes, the hood covered the hair and ears, and the hands were covered with a pair of leather gloves that extended to the forearms. The trouser legs were tucked into long boots and the openings were tied with ropes.

Only the face of the person was exposed.

Dim nodded almost imperceptibly, seemingly satisfied with Xia Zuo's performance.

His gaze passed over Xia Zuo's shoulder and looked towards the shower room, suddenly becoming sharp.

"You two!"

A low growl echoed in the room, startling Xia Zuo.

Masson and Brandon faced Dim's wide eyes, and the ferocity in his gaze sent a shiver down their spines.

Dim pointed at Shazo and said with a calm expression:

"Wrap yourself up tightly like he did. Don't let me see a single hair sticking out!"

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Masson and Brandon answered in unison, their eyes trembling slightly, but they quickly recovered from their shock.

Xia Zuo faced them and half-raised his arms so they could check their clothes.

About five minutes later.

After checking the three boys' clothes, Dim led them to a tightly closed metal door.

The smooth door panel is made from a single piece of unknown alloy.

The door is engraved with the words "Poison Alchemy Zone," without any other decorative patterns.

Chapter 5 Mentor Kurov

Dim lifted a stone brick in the wall, revealing a lever inside.

He beckoned to Xia Zuo, gestured a route in front of him, and said:

"Pull this lever down, then go inside. Once the metal door on the other side opens, leave through that door."

Xia Zuo nodded silently and pulled the lever with his right hand, which was covered by a leather glove.

The metal door slid into the wall along its bottom rail, revealing a narrow passage that could only accommodate one person at a time.

Xia Zuo walked in calmly, and the door behind him closed.

There is a row of small, dark holes on each of the stone walls on both sides.

White mist sprayed out from a small hole on one side, spreading throughout the enclosed space.

This phenomenon lasted for about a minute, after which a suction force from the small hole on the other side drew away the white mist.

The metal door at the end of the passage slowly opened.

Xia Zuo's eyes froze as he stepped through the door.

This is a very spacious alchemy room, about half the size of a castle hall.

Along the walls and next to the stone pillars are rows of glass-windowed shelves.

Some were covered by black cloth, making it impossible to see what was inside, while others were illuminated by alchemical lamps on the ceiling.

Xia Zuo slowed his pace, walked slowly past the shelves, and glanced at the glass bottles displayed on them.

The alchemical lamps here aren't just orange.

Different shelves are illuminated by different colors: purple, green, red, and blue, each color having a different meaning.

Red indicates that the toxin originates from an animal, such as the venom glands of a snake.

Green indicates that the toxins originate from plants, such as toxic tree sap.

Purple indicates that the toxin originates from minerals, such as mercury.

Blue indicates that the toxin is a gas, such as the stench emitted by excrement.

These contents are all recorded in the basics of poison alchemy: the separation of toxins.

Now, the things described in the book are right before my eyes.

Xia Zuo used his detection spell on the glass bottle, his face turning slightly pale and his heart beating a little faster.

Contact with any of the concentrated toxins in any glass bottle will result in continuous damage for at least 20 minutes.

This alchemy lab, filled with drugs, was practically a drug den; even a single bottle of concentrated toxin spilling out would cause massive casualties.

Masson and Brandon entered the alchemy room one after the other, both with the same expression.

The three of them circled the shelves a few times before heading together to the end of the alchemy room.

A middle-aged man with long, gray-white hair was sitting on a red, soft sofa reading a book, with a crucible and an alchemy table not far from him.

Illuminated by a warm orange glow, this place is a rare comfortable spot within the alchemy chamber.

"Are you the students assigned to me by the academy?"

The middle-aged man with long, gray-white hair looked up.

He had a straight mustache under his nose, deep-set eyes, and soft facial features, making him look more like a learned scholar than a seasoned drug lord skilled in making poisons.

"I am Kurov, professor of poison alchemy. Please introduce yourselves."

Masen stood on the left side of the line.

Following the conventional order, he was the first to humbly say:

"Hello, sir. I am Mason, from Spreeer City."

Brandon was the second. "Hello, sir. I am Brandon, a native of Starry Night City."

Following the etiquette taught by Wilson when he presented the citizenship certificate, Shazo pressed his hand to his left chest, bowed, and said:

"Good day, Your Excellency. I am Shazo of Rosac. It is an honor to meet you."
