My health recovery is incredibly fast.

After arranging the day's lessons in the morning, I meditate until the evening class.

Xia Zuo carried a tray of glass bottles to the desk and gently placed them down. These were six portions of refined poison powder that he had prepared that afternoon, each one of perfect quality.

After practicing a few times, my proficiency improved significantly.

It took 50 minutes to make one batch of powder this morning.

I spent 4 hours in the afternoon making 5 servings, which averaged out to only 48 minutes per serving.

If you exclude the break time, each serving will take even less time, only about 45 minutes.

In fact, as skill levels increase, the production speed increases. The fifth batch of powder in the afternoon was produced in just 42 minutes.

Seeing that his mentor had no intention of stopping the meditation, Xia Zuo placed the six glass bottles neatly on the desk, wrote down the note as usual, and then quietly left the basic alchemy room.

More than 5 o'clock in the evening.

The Poison Alchemy Zone.

Under the bright yellow light, the alchemy room was completely silent.

The figure on the soft sofa swayed as he stood up, stretched, and yawned, as if he had just woken up from a deep sleep.

Kulov walked to the desk with his teacup and glanced at the note:

"Huh? You made six batches of refined poison powder during the day?"

He picked up the glass bottles on the tray and examined them closely. "Wow, they're all of perfect quality."

Kurov took out a folded piece of cardstock from the bottom drawer of his desk, spread it out on the table, ran his fingers over the dozens of squares on the paper, and muttered to himself:

"On the first day... I made 6 servings during the day... Well, counting the 2 hours tonight, I can make a total of 8 servings today."

"On the first day, 8 servings, each one of perfect quality."

The corresponding alchemical potential level is:

Kulov tapped his fingertip lightly on a square pattern, making a "tap-tap" sound.

The prescription box reads:

On the first day, eight portions of perfectly refined poison powder were produced.

Poison Alchemy Potential Rating: Top Tier 3

Please have the tutor submit the student's learning records to the head of the college.

The head of the academy is requested to submit the students' learning records to the Dharma Master's Temple.

"Top-tier, third-class... I can't believe I've taken on a student with such high potential."

Kulov straightened up at the table, sighed, and put his hands on his hips, looking down at the pattern on the cardboard.

This is a pyramid-shaped ladder diagram.

Narrow at the top and wide at the bottom.

Divided into 5 rows from top to bottom, each row corresponds to one level, for a total of 5 levels:

Top-tier, premium, superior, intermediate, and ordinary.

Each row is further divided into several to a dozen sub-levels, labeled with grades from first to a dozen. Within the same level, the lower the grade number, the better the potential for poison alchemy.

On the first day of becoming a novice poison alchemist, all mentors will teach you a simplified recipe for refining poison powder.

This formula has special significance.

It is the first recipe that involves all alchemical operations in the normal teaching process.

Its difficulty is two to three times higher than that of the apprentice level recipe. It is very easy to ruin the entire refining result if a certain step goes wrong.

Moreover, it requires the use of condensation, an alchemical technique not taught in the apprentice stage.

A student's potential for poison alchemy will be fully revealed on the first day of the introductory course.

The more refined poison powder produced, and the better its quality, the higher its potential for alchemy.

Only by producing five perfectly refined poison powders on the same day can one reach the minimum threshold of top-tier sixth grade, which is the highest level of potential.

For each additional perfect-quality refined powder produced, the potential increases by one level. The highest level is Top Grade One, which requires producing 10 perfect-quality refined powders.

Xia Zuo made 6 servings in 5 hours during the day, or 1.2 servings in 1 hour.

The evening class lasts 1 hour and 50 minutes, which is just enough to make 2 servings.

The total number of servings for the day is 8.

Even if the two powders tonight weren't of perfect quality, it was enough to make him a top-tier, fifth-class talent.

If it's the top-tier, fifth-class...

Kulov looked at the cardboard, his gaze landing on the end of the first layer, scanning the words on it.

Even those at the top level (Level 5) are required to submit their study records to the head of the academy.

"It seems I need to organize his study notes in advance. I'll send them to the dean after tonight's class."

Kulov pushed and pulled the drawer, rummaged through Xia Zuo's study records, and took out stacks of notebooks and loose-leaf books.

From toxin identification reports to test papers from each class, and summaries after each day's lessons, everything appeared on the desk, gradually piling up into a small mountain.

6:10pm.

Xia Zuo rushed into the basic alchemy room before class and saw his instructor hunched over a large pile of books. He asked in surprise:

"Professor, do you need my help?"

"No, no, no, that's not necessary."

Kurov used glue to mend the torn pages while simultaneously adding comments to several summary reports with his pen, hurriedly saying:

"Go to the advanced alchemy lab and continue refining powders. get out of class is over when it's time."

He paused, holding the glue bottle, "The powder we made during the day was of good quality. We'll keep at it tonight. We'll make as much as we can."

"Oh, oh..." Xia Zuo walked into the advanced alchemy room with a puzzled look on his face.

Since the mentor said to refine as many as possible, then let's go all out!

He mustered all his energy and devoted himself to the refining process, performing each step with precision and speed.

Over the past few months, the muscle memory developed from a lot of repetitive work has become ingrained in my bones like an instinct.

Furthermore, with the aid of detection techniques, the quality of every bottle of alchemical product is guaranteed. Once he enters alchemical mode, his efficiency far surpasses that of ordinary academy students.

Chapter 30 Tower Night Talk

High-intensity alchemical operations come at a price; they consume a great deal of physical and mental strength.

8 pm.

Xia Zuo placed the three bottles of powder on the tray, and as he carried the tray out of the advanced alchemy room, his face was slightly pale, and his fingers and arms trembled uncontrollably.

Kulov glanced at the tray out of the corner of his eye, his brow twitching, and coughed lightly to try and remain calm:

"Cough, not bad, you've refined three more bottles of perfect-quality poison powder. Go back and rest."

"Come here for class at 7 a.m. tomorrow. If I'm not here, you can train on your own in the advanced alchemy room."

"Yes, Professor. See you tomorrow." Xia Zuo walked unsteadily toward the door.

My supervisor is acting a bit strange tonight…

He shook his groggy head, too tired to do anything but get some sleep, and had no energy left to investigate the reason for the other person's unusual behavior.

The footsteps in the poison alchemy zone gradually faded into the distance.

After hearing the sound of a stone door opening and closing in the distance, Kulov picked up a glass bottle and sat down in a chair.

"Nine powders...all of perfect quality...one more than I expected."

"No, no..."

Kulov looked at the wall clock and muttered to himself:

"After arriving at my place at 8 a.m., I spent an hour completing the promotion test, and it also took some time to move the poison bottles. It took me another hour to demonstrate the refining process."

"If we calculate it this way, Xia Zuo's refining time today is less than 6 hours."

"Six hours... At his level, I could only refine it a maximum of 10 times, but by then I was almost a skilled alchemist..."

"Could it be..."

Kulov frowned as he entered the advanced alchemy room and inspected the poison cabinet from top to bottom.

"Only 9 raw materials are missing?! He made 9 mistakes in his alchemy attempts?!" A gasp rang out in the room.

Then came another, even louder shout: "And they're all perfect quality?!"

If Xia Zuo were still here, he would probably scratch the back of his head sheepishly and say something like, "I just had a good touch," "I'm in good form," or "I have a little talent."

But no matter how he argued, Kulov, as someone who had been through it all, clearly knew what a 100% success rate plus perfect quality control meant.

"I have to go find the head of the hospital right away!"

Kulov hurried back to the basic alchemy room, scribbled a few lines on a piece of paper, and then left, maneuvering the box full of study notes.

...

The bright moon and the vast sea of ​​stars hang high in the night sky. The bright moonlight shines on the bustling starry city.

The majestic Starry Night Castle stands in the most bustling part of the city.

Fifteen corner towers overlooking the entire city stand around the castle, guarding the tall central tower.

Kulov walked through the complex corridors.

The casting of most spells is prohibited within the academy.

He could only walk through the corridor and up the steps like an ordinary person.

His destination was the headmaster's study, not the apothecary alchemy area.

Once you reach the level of academy director, you no longer need to personally teach classes.
