The Alchemist in Bleach

Therefore, Ichiro only thought about it for a moment before throwing himself back into the research. Thanks to the mechanical data found by the Shihōin family, plus the improved Ultimate Silk, he felt that the Gundam was about to be completed!

All you need to do is put in a little more effort, just like a knight with extra energy!

Then, this momentum carried over for ten years...

Ten years later, in the Alchemy Department laboratory of the Technology Development Bureau, Ichiro was standing by a table, looking at the design drawings on it, pulling out handfuls of hair as he did so, making his assistants nearby jump with fear.

Of course, they weren't afraid that Ichiro's hair would be plucked out. First, whether Ichiro was bald or not was none of their business; nobody cared. Second, in the flash of light, the hair that Ichiro had lost reappeared. Worried? Ha~ They were being kind by not cursing him!

We all said we'd all go bald from staying up all night, but you're "quietly" growing hair?

Excessive!

Therefore, what they were actually worried about was the meaning behind Ichiro's action. In the past, every time Ichiro did this to his hair, he would make them work overtime...

One month has passed since I added it!

A whole month!

I worked without sleep or rest for a whole month!

Who can stand this?

Therefore, although the Alchemy Department is the easiest department to learn knowledge in among the seven departments of the Technology Development Bureau, it has the fewest people.

That's why the minister is a workaholic!

Moreover, working non-stop for a month is nothing, three months is moderate, and six months is truly significant!

Who can stand this?

But should we refuse?

What a joke!

Why come to the alchemy department if you're not working overtime? Just to lie down?

Most of the ambitious ones are in the alchemy department. Ichiro's long hours and huge projects are tiring, but at the same time, they can learn a lot, so it's quite a dilemma.

I'm too tired to work overtime.

I want to add it, but I don't want to...

Fortunately, their fears did not come true. Ichiro sighed, dismissed them, and turned to leave the laboratory, which relieved everyone.

"Phew~ That scared me to death. I just finished a three-month research project a few days ago. If I had to go through this again, I think I would be finished." A grim reaper with thick glasses said while patting his chest.

"Who isn't? Tsk~ That devilish minister!"

"Rather than devils...it's more like geniuses...Which of you has the inspiration to sustain a research team's work for a month?"

"Indeed, it's quite terrifying..."

"Enough said. Anyway, it's so great not having to work overtime. I can't take it anymore, I'm going to celebrate by staying up all night for three days straight, and I'll also take care of that problem I had in mind last time!"

"Holy crap! Three days?! Your project just started, right? No way, I'm going to celebrate with three all-nighters too, no! Four days!"

"Holy crap, when did you guys get this fast?"

……

It must be said that while Ichiro's overtime work can sometimes be inhumane, those who can endure it are generally quite resilient. As a result, the Alchemy Department is the only department in the Technology Development Bureau that treats overtime as a daily routine...

This kind of "super blessing" seems unusually out of place in the slow-paced environment of Soul Society. However, that's the charm of scientific research. As long as you have talent, are willing to work hard, and have a little bit of luck... well, with these, you can succeed at anything.

However, conducting scientific research in Soul Society can significantly impact one's combat strength.

Thanks to their tireless research, the Alchemy Department achieved the most results among the seven departments of the Technology Development Bureau!

Furthermore, due to the department's focus, many of the tools are quite practical. Therefore, the Alchemy Club receives the most funding and is the easiest to apply for, well, except for Ichiro's experiments...

At first, it was easy for Ichiro to get funding for his experiments, but later, the Central 46th Division discovered that no matter how much funding they allocated, Ichiro could squander it all in the same amount of time, so they started to restrict him individually...

It's not that I haven't suspected him of misappropriating the funds, but several thorough investigations have shown that he did indeed use the money for experiments. However, when funds are insufficient, he will try every means to save money, but when there is enough... well, what else can I say?

One word!

buy!

At this rate, no amount of money will be enough!

Therefore, he was placed under special restrictions, but the other members of the Alchemy Department were not restricted. This is one of the reasons why the Alchemy Department has such great fortune that even Death is willing to enter.

As Ichiro walked toward the office, the Grim Reapers he encountered were either engrossed in research, engaged in heated discussions, or resting in some corner—they were clearly working themselves to the bone, and would continue working hard when they woke up.

The Technology Development Bureau is different now than it was at the beginning. Although the Shinigami of the 12th Division are still the mainstream, Shinigami from other divisions, and even some noble children from Seireitei and souls from Rukongai have joined.

In terms of scale alone, it is now considered a considerable force in the Soul Society. Seven of the ten permanent departments have been established, namely the Research Department (Urahara), Alchemy Department (Ichiro), Soul Department (Hikifune), Science Department (Mayuri Kurotsuchi), and Textile Department (Senjumaru), which are mainly composed of the five founders, as well as the other two permanent departments, Kido Department and Medical Department.

The head of the medical department is Tensei Shiro, not Suzuran Tsuki, whom Ichiro favored the most.

The reason is simple. Just as Ichiro said, there is a problem with her research field. Chanting the Way is popular, but now there is a stronger Ichiro ahead of her. No matter how much she achieves, it will be overshadowed by Ichiro.

For example, her main achievement over the past decade has been optimizing the first thirty channels, which not only makes the treatment more effective but also makes it easier for beginners to get started.

Frankly speaking, this result is already quite good. The difficulty of optimization is no less than that of innovation, especially since it is optimization in a fundamental field.

But as Ichiro said earlier, in the area of ​​chanting and reciting, with Ichiro ahead of him, it is difficult for others to stand out.

In the past ten years, in addition to studying Gundam, Ichiro also organized all the remaining chants and repentance techniques, which, like the Hadō and Bakudō techniques, went all the way up to number 99!

The last five paths directly led Ichiro to godhood in the Dao Returning Realm!

Return to the Dao Chapter 95: Withered Tree Rejuvenates: Rejuvenates the aging body, restoring physical condition by ten years without affecting strength! Cannot be used repeatedly in the short term, with an interval of five years, the theoretical upper limit, the period when physical strength is at its peak!

Return to the Dao, Chapter Ninety-Six: Self-Optimization: Enhances the body's metabolic capacity, significantly improves various skills, and grants immunity to all toxins acting on the spirit during use.

Returning to the Dao, Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Blueprint of Life: Rapidly evolves the body, automatically healing all diseases, but will overdraw a certain amount of lifespan.

Return to the Dao, Chapter Ninety-Eight: Resurrection: Within three days of death, if the body is largely intact, the deceased can be resurrected!

Return to the Dao Chapter Ninety-Nine: Seizing the Heavens: Breaking through the level of life and increasing lifespan!

Of these five major Paths of Death, apart from Number Ninety-Seven, even those Grim Reapers who are unfamiliar with Paths of Death can intuitively understand their terrifying nature!

Putting everything else aside, the combination of number 95 and number 99 alone could create a monster that's always at its peak!

For example, Yamamoto Gen's Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio!

Number 95 will make him stronger, and number 99 will make him live longer.

This significantly elevated the status of Team Thirteen.

Of course, besides that, what shocked most of the Grim Reapers was that Number 98 returned to the dead. Although the conditions were quite harsh, it was a second life!

Before, when you died, you were truly dead; now you have a chance to live!

Because of this, countless Grim Reapers directly revered Ichiro as a god of medicine.

This is a true god!

Not to mention the life-extending path, which, like the rebirth of the withered tree at number ninety-five, is very popular among nobles, especially older nobles who are even more enthusiastic about it!

Even if the Grim Reaper has a long lifespan, he will still die if he is not strong enough. Who wouldn't want to live another five hundred years? Which old man doesn't want to regain his former glory... cough~ and become strong again?

Therefore, Ichiro receives a large number of invitations from nobles almost every day, and many of them even send him wives. There's no way around it; he's currently the only one in the entire Soul Society who knows how to do it, although the training methods have been shared with the Thirteenth Division, and some high-ranking nobles have also obtained them through their own means.

But, lol, I just can't learn it at all!

That's too difficult.

Starting with number 95, the chanting of the Return Path is a new domain that Ichiro pioneered based on the Return Path in Soul Society, so it's naturally not that easy. As for tying up Ichiro...

It's not that no idiots did try, but the Captain-Commander never even got a chance to act before Ichiro chopped them down.

That's why he received so many invitations.

Under these circumstances, it's easy to imagine how insignificant Lily of the Valley's results were...

In this situation, it's understandable that he couldn't defeat Tensei Shiro. However, what's interesting is that Tensei Shiro didn't become the department head because of the super-fast regeneration technique he mentioned earlier. That research failed. He became the department head because he solved a difficult problem that had plagued Soul Society for many years.

Ultimately, he was able to convince the public, although he was not as good as Ichiro, but he could explain it by saying that their research fields were different.

However, what surprised everyone the most was the head of the Kido Club. To everyone's surprise, the head of the Kido Club was not the Grand Kido Master or the Vice Kido Master, but an unknown nobody in the Kido Clan—Yamada Taro.

He invented a technique called Ghost Dao Inscription, which allows him to store the Ghost Dao he releases and use it when needed.

Is it familiar?

That's right, it's something like a magic scroll!

In fact, this technology should be prohibited from development, because strictly speaking, it affects the development of the Ghost Path, and the research of the Ghost Path will become the interest of a small number of people.

The four skills of the Slash Fist and Ghost Walk are: Ghost Path. Ghost Path was already in a low position due to its low practicality. It is impossible for the authorities to make it even worse. After all, with one-click casting, who would still bother to practice it?

This was one of the reasons why Ichiro abandoned the development of this technology.

But that's where his brilliance lies: Yamada Taro's technique can only seal his own Kido, and then he can use it himself!

In other words, it's impossible for Ichiro to seal it and then let others use it. You have to learn it first before you can seal it, and if you want the power to become stronger, you have to study it.

This is a very novel approach that not only solves the practicality problem of the Kido (Demon Way) but also prevents the Shinigami (Death God) from losing interest in studying it.

The only downside is that it's expensive...

A typical bankruptcy-themed strategy...

The higher the level of the demonic path, the higher the quality of the materials required for sealing.

However, his merits outweigh his flaws, and this was not enough to prevent him from becoming the head of the Ghost Path Department.

"Don't come any closer!!!"

Suddenly, as Ichiro was deep in thought, he passed by an open space and was drawn to a scream. He looked up and couldn't help but laugh. This was probably the liveliest place in the entire Technology Development Bureau.

In the open space, a frail-looking boy holding a small knife was seen frantically fleeing from the attack of a robot, his snot and tears streaming down his face.

"boom!"

"Help!!!"
