Full-Time Magister: I can control you to death

The women remained silent.

The girl who just said said, "Then let them die."

"Yes!" All the women nodded in unison, including the nurse Bai Tingting.

Beside him, Professor Qiu Yuhua opened his mouth, feeling for the first time how out of touch his old brain was with the young man's thinking...

The event was held at Hangzhou University, and the school clearly attached great importance to it. The entire campus was covered with welcome banners. Despite the small size of the school, a large number of volunteers were sent to guide the way.

"Welcome, everyone from Pearl Academy." The person in charge stepped forward and warmly shook Qiu Yuhua's hand: "We are truly flattered that Professor Qiu has come in person."

"You're too kind," Qiu Yuhua said.

"How is Dean Fu? It's been several years since we last met, and I haven't had the chance to see him again."

"He's not at the academy right now, but I'll convey his message."

This Dean Fu refers to the Dean of the White Magic Academy at Pearl Academy, a high-level mage specializing in the Mind Magic system, and the Vice President of the Ocean Alliance.

Dean Xiao had mentioned before that Xu Fang was practicing the sound system and could learn from Dean Fu if he had the chance.

Later, Dean Fu sacrificed his life in the Battle of Huangpu River, and his position was taken over by Vice Dean Li Xu.

Upon assuming office, Li Xu did only one thing—forged documents to expel Ding Yumin and revealed her identity as a victim, ultimately leading to the tragedy of her suicide to expel the demon.

Qiu Yuhua said, "Recently, the sea monsters have been rampant, and Dean Fu has been unable to spare the time. We suspect that it is the work of the Black Court."

"There's no mistake, it must be those beasts, otherwise why would the siren attack our city for no reason..."

The two leaders chatted while the others dispersed to explore on their own.

Exchange meetings in the magical plane are usually not so serious. Similar to the military industry exchange meeting that Xu Fang attended in the capital last time, there were small stalls set up on both sides of the road.

These stalls don't sell grilled sausages, grilled gluten, or grilled meat skewers; they sell their knowledge.

After wandering around for a while, Xu Fang squatted down in front of a stall. The stall owner, uh, the academy representative, was preparing to make a bottle of blood serum.

The man glanced at Xu Fang and was surprised to see him pull a notebook and a timer out of his pocket.

"A handful of ink leaves, crush and filter... a little lotus stone powder... heat for thirty seconds and then add the strange blood," Xu Fang wrote down.

Bai Tingting tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

You're practically stealing my knowledge right in front of me!

"It's alright, young lady. Since I've set up a stall here, I naturally want to share my potion-making philosophy," the stall owner said with a generous smile.

This is not ancient times; a lack of communication and working in isolation will inevitably lead to being eliminated by the market.

The Wright family is awesome, right? A giant in winged magic tools, a global military industry giant, and they have an exclusive patent for levitation magic arrays. Yet, they still had a large number of orders snatched away by things like bamboo dragonflies and bee swarms.

The average price of Wing Magic Tools has been reduced by several percentage points, but sales have still not improved.

It is said that the patriarch of the Wright family was furious, saying that if things continued like this, the Winged Magic Tools would become like those pretty but useless bags and perfumes, just luxury items for rich people to show off!

"Besides, blood potions are a healing potion that will always be available, no matter how big the market is, unless all the demons disappear one day."

As the stall owner spoke, a bottle of blood serum was completed. Its color was a bright, clear red, and it looked like agate in the glass bottle.

"The main problem now is that the exotic blood used to make blood potions is too rare. Not every demon that dies will drop exotic blood. Maybe only a few drops will be obtained from ten or even a hundred demons."

Xu Fang said, "I've heard that many demons evolve to produce blood containing toxins in order to protect themselves. This poisonous blood is almost indistinguishable from other blood."

"There's no need to worry about that."

The stall owner said casually, "Every batch of medicine undergoes strict screening and analysis by military mages. After all, this is a life-saving item. Who would dare to tamper with it? And who could possibly tamper with it?"

Putting everything else aside, in the entire city of Hangzhou, probably only a handful of councilors have that much power.

But they are all members of parliament, holding high positions and wielding great power. How could they do such a despicable thing?

······

Mingzhu Academy also had a booth, and it was quite close to the front, displaying various raw materials prepared by the organizers.

Xu Fang checked his notes and found the raw materials one by one, neatly stacking them on the table.

“Crush the ink leaves.”

Xu Fang casually grabbed a handful of ink leaves, a chill rising in his palm as white frost condensed on their surface.

Bai Tingting was completely confused. Just as she was about to ask a question, she saw him gently squeeze, and the frost and the ink leaf shattered into powder.

Can you still play like this?

Lotus stone powder is processed in the same way.

The heating process was even more abstract. Xu Fang simply rubbed out a small ball of light, put several materials into it, and under the light, it heated up to the required temperature in just a few seconds.

Finally, add the foreign blood, mix well, and purify... The reason why blood potions became popular on a large scale, besides their good efficacy, is that they have a low barrier to entry. As long as the materials are available, ordinary people can make them with patience and research.

It's the same principle as the bomb Xu Fang used.

Xu Fang had been browsing through various stalls for so long, and only encountered one stall that made blood potions.

Soon, a bottle of blood serum was freshly produced, equally red and translucent, radiating a captivating luster.

"To achieve this level on your first attempt at refining, you certainly have some talent." Professor Qiu Yuhua nodded approvingly, his eyes full of admiration as he looked at Xu Fang.

As expected of the top expert in the Pearl Sect, his control over the elements is astonishing. That blood potion he just made was practically handmade!

"The exchange meeting will last for a few more days. Don't be afraid to learn as much as you can. The university will reimburse you for the materials. In a few days, I'll take you to the wild to identify some medicinal herbs."

"Thank you, Professor Qiu."

Qiu Yuhua smiled and nodded. With such talent and a good attitude towards learning, who wouldn't like such a student?

······

Over the next few days, Xu Fang absorbed knowledge about pharmaceuticals like a sponge, eagerly learning as if he were starving.

In addition to the usual blood serum and antidote, they also came into contact with some poisons used to kill demons. The poisons were reddish-black in color and produced fine foam. The bottles were labeled with the words "Do Not Drink".

He also concocted all sorts of potions, which he then made for the larvae of the Swamp Poison Centipede to taste.

Professor Qiu kept his promise and took him to the outskirts of Hangzhou to identify the medicinal herbs in person.

Life was going on peacefully until a news item on the internet completely ignited public opinion!

A giant skyscraper-like structure has appeared in downtown Hangzhou!

Chapter 190 Are all girls this fierce nowadays?

Photos circulating online show the giant snake coiled up in the bustling city center, its cold eyes gazing at a building.

Even a photograph can evoke a sense of insignificance and humility from the depths of one's heart; it is a tremor that comes from the soul.

"Is this...is this a demon?" Bai Tingting asked in fear, standing pitifully beside Xu Fang.

Compared to this colossal serpent, the previous pseudo-demon and giant lizard pseudo-dragon are utterly weak!

"I don't know," Xu Fang replied casually, his eyes never leaving his phone screen.

As a powerful external force that runs through the entire timeline, the majesty of the Totem Serpent far exceeded his imagination.

Even if such a level of existence remains still and does not cause any damage, it would be a huge disaster for the city.

The pharmacy exchange meeting naturally couldn't continue, but the pharmacists from all over the country didn't leave—because the appearance of the totem serpent had paralyzed traffic throughout Hangzhou.

The main roads were completely jammed, with many cars crashing into each other like a string of candied hawthorns, and countless people abandoning their cars and fleeing under the oppressive power of the Black Serpent.

"It's impossible to get train tickets; the website even crashed," a girl said with a worried expression.

Another boy scoffed, "Tch, what's there to be afraid of? Didn't you see it's been debunked online? It's all fake, just the official new test of the Beast Shadow Technique!"

"That's true. If there really were demons, the entire city of Hangzhou would probably be in ruins."

"Exactly, exactly! Nothing's happened for so many days, what's there to worry about!"

"I still feel something's wrong. What kind of beast shadow can be so realistic... Holy crap! Holy crap! You guys need to check online!"

With a scream, everyone rushed online, and what they saw there was terrifying; fear gripped their minds and made their bodies tremble.

[Shocking! Victims emerge in the giant snake incident: two hunters die from poisoning!]

Below the news article were photos, and even through heavy pixelation, the two disfigured, blackened corpses were still clearly visible, making one's stomach churn.

"Mom, I want to go home!"

"Damn it, even without a car, I'll run back!"

"What are the authorities doing? Why are they allowing a demon to appear in the middle of the city!"

Even these Pearl students, who have received advanced magical education, are so excited, let alone others.

Immediately, the internet was abuzz with calls for the authorities to execute the demonic serpent!

······

"The number of infections has now exceeded 1,000. The Hangzhou authorities have contacted us and asked us pharmacists to go to the site to develop an antidote."

The organizers who went to negotiate did not bring back a plan on how to leave the city, but instead brought back a bolt from the blue.

"Go to the scene? I'm not going!"

"Yeah, what's the difference between this and suicide?"

"Why should we risk our lives to clean up their messes?"

Pharmacists are human too. After seeing the tragic state of those infected, no one wants to die in vain.

But we can't not go. It's a joint decision by the Magic Association and the authorities. Lives are at stake. We have to go, whether we want to or not!

“None of you are pharmacists, I will contact the school to send you back,” Professor Qiu Yuhua said.

"Professor, I want to stay."

Everyone stared at Xu Fang in astonishment, and Professor Qiu scolded him, "Nonsense! How long have you been in contact with the medicine!"

The old professor also had his own selfish motives. This epidemic was so severe, with symptoms so extreme and the speed of transmission so astonishing.

Xu Fang is the apple of their eye. If something were to happen to him and his household registration in Hangzhou were wiped out, how would he explain it to the school?

"Didn't you praise me just a few days ago, saying I was a rare pharmaceutical genius?" Xu Fang laughed somewhat carefree: "If you're a genius, how can you be called a genius if you don't do something outstanding?"

He was not worried about his safety.
