..

I've had this book for two days now.

You must not make any mistakes for four consecutive months, and all the assessment results must be correct, before you can get it from Kulov.

It is a must-read textbook for beginner poison alchemists when advancing to the proficient level.

The content covers both introductory and beginner-level compound toxins, totaling more than a dozen, which is much richer than what was taught in class this semester.

The fact that Xia Zuo will be able to get this book this semester means that he is at least half a year ahead of all other students in his class in terms of progress in poison alchemy.

Time flew by as I read.

One hour later.

Anru wrote the last stroke on the notepad, walked to the desk and handed it over, "Do you think my assessment report is correct?"

Xia Zuo looked up from the book, first glancing at the neat handwriting, then taking out his appraisal report from the low cabinet on his desk.

When Kulov was reviewing students' evaluation reports, he would mark them with red ink, indicating errors or inaccuracies, and then write the correct content next to them.

This is a good opportunity to use it as a reference.

Xia Zuo put the two appraisal reports together, his eyes moving left and right, checking the records line by line. "It's convenient to be able to see the elemental light. Your appraisal report is much more detailed and accurate than mine."

"Okay, then give me a score." Anru'er's lips curled up.

"At least 92 points. There are a few key points I'm not sure about. I'll ask the professor when I have the chance."

Xia Zuo scratched the back of his head, stood up and tidied the table. "That black eye toxin won't last long, we need to use it up quickly. You can mix it into a black eye agent."

"it is good"

"The formula for the poison is in the poison encyclopedia, take a look. There are some solvents you need over there." Xia Zuo pointed to a cabinet full of bottles and jars.

The method for preparing the Black Eye Poison was very simple, and Anru remembered it in just a few minutes.

She carried the syrup jar to the alchemy table, put her mask back on, and reached out to grasp the pull ring of the blower. "Let's begin."

Xia Zuo stood to the side and nodded.

"call"

Flames leaped from the center of the furnace and gently added to the bottom of the crucible.

Anru sprinkled a few drops of water into the pot, waited for them to evaporate, then poured in the syrup, stirred it slowly with a spoon, and waited for fine bubbles to appear in the syrup before adding the black eye toxin.

She pulled the ring three times in a row to shut off the furnace's flame and continued stirring the crucible until the brown, thick substance was completely dissolved in the syrup.

"It's quite simple." Anru'er raised her chin slightly and smiled smugly at the person next to her. "Can I try to refine the poison now?"

Xia Zuo handed over three glass bottles. "Okay, okay, fill these bottles with the poison first, then clean the crucible and spoon."

While the other person was cleaning the alchemy table, he found the contents of the Black Eye Toxin on the aggregate of toxins, flattened the pages, and weighed them down with an ink bottle.

"The recipe for Black Eye Toxin is right here. The two basic toxins it requires are on the shelf to the right of the alchemy table."

Anru seemed to notice his thoughtfulness and turned around with a sweet smile.

7:30pm.

Anru stood solemnly in front of the alchemy table, making a final check on the placement of the raw materials.

She took a deep breath, pulled the rope of the blower, and poured one-fifth of the water and base medicine into the crucible.

"First came leucopyrrolidone."

She used a dropper to draw three drops of the toxin and dripped them into the crucible. "Hmm, I see the small brown specks in the toxin have fused with the base medicine."

Seeing that she was engrossed in observing the elemental light, Xia Zuo reminded her, "Stir the crucible quickly, don't let the brown pigment stick to the inside of the crucible."

"Oh, right. I almost forgot. Luckily you reminded me." Anru patted her head and quickly stirred the crucible with a spoon.

Once the liquid turned brown, she added ginger extract and asked while stirring, "Shouldn't we then use low heat to evaporate the water?"

Xia Zuo nodded. "Yes. Remember to turn off the engine before it's completely dry."

Anru slowly swung the spoon, then suddenly leaned back, "Something is about to float out."

As soon as he finished speaking, a pungent odor wafted out of the crucible.

"Huh? The bright spot of light is drifting away."

Her gaze followed a cloud of brown mist into the ventilation duct, then she looked down at the crucible. "The dim light is still inside the crucible."

Xia Zuo raised an eyebrow and released a detection spell towards the liquid in the crucible.

The feedback indicated that in about 3 minutes, the moisture would evaporate completely, at which point the completion rate would be 97%, about 5 points higher than his own.

Anru swung the spoon around for several seconds, then smiled and said:

"Only a small cluster of bright spots of light remained. I estimate that it will be finished steaming in a little while."

Xia Zuo calculated the time, and it matched the information fed back by the detection spell exactly.

Surprisingly, high mental attributes have a similar effect in alchemy to the ability to detect.

He was a little dazed.

This is because the spiritual attribute is too compatible with alchemy.

The detection technique is too powerful, able to ignore the requirements of mental attributes and directly calculate the alchemy completion rate.

It must be the latter.

No matter how strong one's mental attributes are, it's impossible to directly discover the effects of an unknown compound toxin.

The role of the Detection Technique in Poison Alchemy is completely irreplaceable.

"Can you take a look and see if this degree of drying is acceptable?"

Anru pulled the rope to turn off the stove and used a spatula to scoop up the brown, thick substance.

Xia Zuo used his detection technique to check and confidently said, "It's ready, the heat is just right."

"yeah"

Anru put the thick substance into a glass container and tapped it lightly with a spatula, making a popping sound.

"I think I did a pretty good job refining it, don't you think?"

Xia Zuo leaned over and examined the object with a magnifying glass.

The color of this viscous substance is more uniform, and it contains fewer granular impurities. Judging from its color alone, it is definitely a superior product.

"Very good, very good, much better than me." Xia Zuo grinned.

With it almost 8 p.m., the two of them processed the last of the black eye toxins into a poison and stored it away. After tidying up the alchemy room, they returned to their respective dormitories to rest.

Chapter 21 Passing Grade (Re-uploaded)

Time flew by in the daily routine of classes and practical exercises, and every day was incredibly fulfilling.

A month later.

Sunday noon.

Inside the castle restaurant.

Anruer had scheduled Professor Zhuolang's blending oil course. After lunch, she left the restaurant and headed to the oil alchemy area.

The midday sun shines directly on the castle's restaurant terrace, shifting the light and creating a bright curtain of light under the pergola.

Xia Zuo looked up at the cloudless sky, feeling a bit hot inside his black robe.

He picked up a copy of the Starry Night Daily from the restaurant bar, moved to a cool and comfortable corner, and enjoyed a rare moment of solitude on the weekend while sipping fragrant tea and flipping through the newspaper.

A figure walked over and sat down in the seat opposite.

Xia Zuo put down his newspaper and saw Mars looking at him with a big smile. "Hey, busy senior, what brings you here to chat with me today?"

Mars raised his arm and pointed to his cuff, where the pattern representing his mastery of artifact alchemy had changed from one red line to two.

"Congratulations! You've successfully advanced to a skilled level artifact alchemist." Xia Zuo laughed heartily, a wide smile spreading across his face.

"Tomorrow I will begin practicing the beginner-level meditation method."

Mars checked off food items on the menu, shook a bell to summon elemental servants, and said, "You may not see me for a long time until I succeed in my cultivation."

Xia Zuo folded the newspaper and put it aside. "Aren't you coming to the restaurant for dinner?"

"Yes, I won't come to the restaurant anymore. When I first practiced meditation, the headmaster provided a lot of satiety potions, enough for me to eat for three to five months."

The elemental servants brought over a steak and fruit platter.

Mars placed the napkin in front of his chest, rubbed his hands together, picked up his knife and fork, and said with a hint of reluctance:

"I can't even imagine what it would be like to go months without meat or fruit. I'm planning to eat at a restaurant all day."

"Haha, okay. Would you like me to bring you some drinks?"

Mars hesitated for a second, “Two glasses of orange juice, one glass of iced milk, and one glass of sparkling water. I know this isn’t healthy, but I’m afraid I’ll regret it once I start practicing meditation.”

"Okay, I'll be right back."

A moment later, Xia Zuo returned with a tray and placed four drinks on the table:

"Can you tell me about the final exams? I've almost finished practicing the application problems for the three alchemy subjects: potions, oils, and poisons. I'm only not ready for the application problems for rare alchemy."

Mars swallowed the beef, took a sip of sparkling water, and wiped his mouth with a napkin.

"You're really lucky to have managed to stay in the Department of Poison Alchemy. Of course, this isn't just due to good luck; your alchemical talent and temperament are both indispensable."

He popped a small tomato into his mouth and continued:
