After finishing their meal, Leng Qing said goodbye and left, while Lingling returned to her room to attend to her business.
When Leng Qing returned, he gave her a task: to investigate the whereabouts of a batch of blood serum.
Blood transfusion is a very common and very expensive medicine, whose main function is to transport blood.
When a mage is injured, their first choice is naturally to seek out a healing mage for treatment.
However, healing mages are few in number, and not everyone can receive treatment from a healing mage.
At this time, potions are especially important, among which blood potions are the most consumed by mages.
After taking the blood-purging potion orally, the mages' blood-producing function will be enhanced dozens of times in a short period of time. Many obvious external injuries can be healed in a short time as long as the blood-purging potion is taken and the wound is bandaged. If there is no infection, the wound will heal in a short time.
The raw material for the blood serum is demon blood, and the process is extremely complicated... However, Leng Qing discovered a batch of blood serum that seemed suspicious.
Since she couldn't investigate herself, she entrusted the task to her sister, a master hunter.
Lingling was just wondering what to do to pass the time, so she happily accepted the offer.
Xu Fang returned to his room, took out the bowl-shaped magic artifact from the Hidden Star, and used his spiritual power to penetrate it, where he could see seven death worms fast asleep.
Using tweezers, I pinched a few newly hatched larvae of the swamp worm and put them in. The dead worm immediately perked up and wolfed them down.
Thank you for the gift of nature!
"It seems you like it very much... then bring more."
Xu Fang grabbed a handful and threw them in; there were at least forty or fifty of them, filling the space completely.
Although the death worms are stronger than centipede larvae, they can't compete with the sheer number of the latter!
Soon, two more met their untimely deaths. Their bodies were devoured by centipede larvae, which swelled them up a bit.
Since awakening his poison ability, Xu Fang has frequently visited the library, diligently studying various poison-related books.
The final conclusion is only one: primitive! Cruel! Bloody!
Don't be afraid of the losses caused by the death of poisonous insects. If you want to cultivate a powerful insect king, you must keep adding new individuals and keep investing money!
Chapter 188: Starting with a Kun (a type of unit in Chinese mythology), advancement relies entirely on devouring.
Summer vacation is so hot I feel like I'm going to die.
The sun, shamelessly residing high in the sky, doesn't even bother to cover itself with a single cloud. The rolling heat waves, like a glamorous girl in a nightclub, tirelessly twist and turn.
At this time of year, the perfect boyfriend is an ice mage; no one can resist a partner who comes with built-in air conditioning.
Mingzhu Academy, Dean's Office.
"Have all the people been booked?"
Professor Qiu Yuhua pulled his chair up to find the most comfortable position, took a sip of tea, and said, "Just pick a few from the plant and healing categories, like Mu Nujiao and Bai Tingting, they're both pretty good kids."
“But they don’t have much experience in alchemy,” another professor worried. “In my opinion, we should choose a few from among the young lecturers…”
"What's there to be afraid of? This is an academic exchange, not a competition. Just treat it as an opportunity to broaden your horizons."
"You make it sound so easy. There's a free presentation segment in the exchange, and the other schools are really eager to outdo us at Mingzhu Academy!"
"Alright, stop arguing," Dean Xiao said. "Let's do it according to Professor Qiu's suggestion. Any children who are interested can go and take a look. We won't force them."
He paused, then added, "Xu Fang from the Light Department, add his name."
"Xu Fang?"
Some questioned, "He's a light-elemental mage, and his only connection to alchemy is Radiant Purification. What use would he be there?"
"That's right. Besides, the nomination battle is coming up next semester. As the top student, I should be preparing well."
"I heard this student has some knowledge of formations, so why did he go and study medicine?"
“I’ve met this child before. He has his own ideas about medicine. It wouldn’t hurt to go and meet him,” said Professor Qiu Yuhua.
He had a very good impression of Xu Fang, mainly because Xu Fang's questions always hit the nail on the head, unlike those guys who just fawned over him.
"It's settled then," Dean Xiao declared decisively.
The exchange activity also included a field medicine-finding activity, so with Xu's help, I didn't have to worry about safety.
······
When Xu Fang received the school's notification, he was lying in the lobby of the Qingtian Hunting Grounds, watching two poisonous insects fight on the table.
Lingling sat on the other side, her little face tense, her two little fists clenched tightly.
"come on!"
"Bite it! Quickly, get behind it!"
"That's how it is... Oh, what a pity!"
Two poisonous insects: one is a death worm, and the other is a larva of a swamp centipede.
Compared to their initial state, both poisonous insects have undergone tremendous changes. Their harmless appearance has disappeared, and one can vaguely see the ferocity of demons in their appearance.
The death worm was covered in a slippery fluid, and each wriggle would pull up a white thread.
However, when touched, the sap becomes viscous, and with Xu Fang's hearing, one can even hear a "sizzling" sound if one listens carefully.
This is a corrosive poison.
The larvae of the swamp worm were not to be outdone; their sharp mouthparts pierced into the obese body of the dead worm, injecting their own toxins into it.
For a time, the two insects were locked in a stalemate.
One second, two seconds, three seconds... Finally, the swamp centipede larva's body stiffened, and half of its body was corroded away.
"Haha, I won!" Xu Fang said with a beaming smile. "You're treating tonight. I want to eat crayfish from Pudong."
"You're so serious about arguing with an elementary school student, you're hopeless!" Lingling complained unhappily.
"A bet's a bet, or don't play gentleman's games with a real man like me." Xu Fang put away the poisonous insects, while the Death Worm was devouring the corpse of the Swamp Poison Centipede.
The dark golden halo around its body became increasingly prominent.
Because it had ingested too many larvae of the swamp centipede, many large bulges appeared on its body surface, and its developing limbs could be vaguely seen.
He even asked Old Man Bao, and the reply he received was that you, kid, had just gotten lucky.
Like summoned beasts, poisonous insects also have different levels of talent, and malleability is a rare and excellent talent!
The Insect Kings and Insect Lords in the hands of those top insect cultivators are basically individuals obtained by constantly devouring and evolving a highly malleable poisonous insect!
Uh... You start with a Kun (坤) and advance entirely by swallowing (吞)?
In short, this deadly worm that demonstrated its value has been granted a get-out-of-jail-free card and has officially become Xu Fang's employee.
Old Man Bao also suggested that Xu Fang look for some earthworms or bees if he could find talents like "self-splitting" or "mother nest," which would be a huge win!
Just then, a call came in from Mingzhu Academy.
"Okay... I understand, Dean. Of course I'm interested, I'll definitely go!" Xu Fang hung up the phone, and Lingling asked curiously, "Is this your dean?"
"Yes, they want me to go to Hangzhou to attend a pharmaceutical academic exchange conference." Xu Fang was genuinely interested.
After awakening his poison-type abilities, Old Man Bao pointed out two paths for him. Xu Fang has been sticking to the insect cultivation path, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, it will come in handy during the National Games.
As for becoming a pharmacist, I've only attended a few of Professor Qiu's classes and haven't actually worked with it yet.
Now that he has this opportunity, he certainly doesn't want to miss it!
Lingling said, "My sister is in Hangzhou, but I guess she probably doesn't have time to entertain you right now."
The investigation into that batch of blood serum did not go smoothly. The other party was quite vigilant, and the two sisters dared not make any rash moves, for fear of alerting the enemy and missing some big fish.
"I'll keep an eye out for you."
Xu Fang knew the truth, of course; it was actually a batch of substandard blood serum.
Led by councilor Luo Mian, they replaced the alien blood that could be absorbed by mages with the cheaper blood of the Lingzhao plague rat, profiting from the cost difference!
Xu Fang, who is also a member of the party that values cost-cutting, absolutely despises this kind of behavior!
His products may be cheap, but they are high-quality and affordable, a substitute rather than a shoddy product, and the quality will never be compromised.
But that damned Councilor Luo Mian is different. Not only did the poison kill people, but he also tried to pin the blame on the Totem Serpent!
······
This academic exchange was once again led by Professor Qiu Yuhua. The journey was short and the entire route was within Anjie. The magic bullet train took less than an hour to arrive.
As usual, as soon as they got off the bus, Professor Qiu enthusiastically led everyone to visit famous historical sites.
Walking along the long Su Causeway, you'll see willows swaying on both sides, shimmering water further on, and then scattered mountains with peaks, temples, and pavilions. On the other side, there's a cluster of high-rise buildings reflected in the lake.
"This place is so beautiful," Bai Tingting said cheerfully.
Today she wore a white dress with puff sleeves, revealing her smooth, fair arms and calves, and a pair of white sneakers that tumbled merrily on the ground, making her look just like a first love.
Mu Nujiao did not attend this academic exchange; she is currently in seclusion, focusing on her nomination for the next semester.
Bai Tingting felt confident that she had the upper hand.
Men, don't be fooled by their words about upholding principles; when it comes to getting serious, they're like dry tinder and a raging fire, unable to control their passions!
Chapter 189 Exchange Meeting, First Pharmaceutical Production
"My wife! My wife! No!"
"My lord!!!"
On the Broken Bridge in Hangzhou, Xu Fang was vividly telling the story of "The Legend of the White Snake," specifically the part about Leifeng Pagoda.
Unlike the scorching heat of Shanghai, Hangzhou enjoys a pleasant temperature and gentle autumn breezes. Fallen leaves are everywhere, and the air is filled with fluttering willow catkins, adding a touch of poetic beauty to Xu Fang's story.
He was a sonic mage, and his imitations of various voices were incredibly lifelike. He could convincingly portray the agony of a couple separated by death, unable to find peace for eternity…
The girls listened, their eyes filled with tears.
"So, did Lady White Snake and Xu Xian die?" a girl asked cautiously.
"No, they both became immortals."
Before the women could even breathe a sigh of relief, Xu Fang said slowly, "Having ascended to immortality, my mortal ties are severed. Twenty years of cultivation have left Xu Xian dull and withered, speechless when he looks at Bai Suzhen. Even Xiaoqing has lost her rebellious spirit, her edges worn smooth by life..."
