The Alchemist in Bleach

The chief commander might be able to do it, but it would be a huge undertaking.

Therefore, considering all factors, there is an 80% chance that Kuchiki Kyouga was framed by his teammates. Considering the attack on the academy directly under the jurisdiction of the First Division, this probability is even higher.

Therefore, if Kuchiki Kyouga were to die here, it would definitely be a major storm for the current Soul Society!

Kuchiki Hibiki is being groomed by the current head of the Kuchiki family, Kuchiki Ginryu, to be the next head!

Even though there are many obstacles at present, at least his attitude is there, and once he dies, the entire Kuchiki clan will stand on one side, which is a completely different matter from the head of the clan...

"hiss!!"

Soon, Ichiro arrived at the scene. Seeing Kuchiki Hibiki barely clinging to life thanks to the care of Vice Captain Seinosuke, Ichiro gasped in shock.

Three huge bloody gashes ran down his body!

Two on the chest, one on the back!

The most serious one was on the back, where the heart was clearly visible, with a small incision cut into it!

------------

Chapter Thirty-Five: Rescuing the Rotting Wood Echoes in the River!

"Ichiro! You're here. Can you save him?" As Ichiro entered the house, Seinosuke asked anxiously while continuing his treatment.

"It's alright. Any later and I won't have enough spiritual energy. You keep things going here, and we'll deal with it together." With that, Ichiro walked to Kuchiki Hibiki, who was floating in the air, and looked down at the wound on his back.

After a moment's hesitation, he opened a bottle of spirit power recovery potion, fed it to Kiyosuke, then pushed up his glasses, moved his fingers slightly, and placed both hands directly above Kuchiki Hibiki's wound. Immediately, a large number of green threads floated out from Ichiro's hands and converged towards his heart.

Kuchiki Hibiki's injuries are very serious. With Ichiro's current spiritual power, he cannot fully heal her. He can only treat the most serious injuries first to save her life, and then spend a lot of time slowly treating the remaining injuries, or wait for the captain to return.

Needless to say, the primary target is naturally the most important heart. Although the other two wounds are also very important and fatal, they are slightly less important than the heart.

Under Ichiro's control, strands of green silk, thinner than a hair, converged toward Kuchiki Hibiki's heart. Upon reaching the heart, they wrapped around the incision layer by layer, weaving together and slowly filling the wound.

Slowly, the green threads wove together layer by layer, patching up the gap in the heart; however, this was only the first step.

Heart wounds are different from other wounds; they can't be simply filled in, and the internal structure needs to be determined.

This is also why Kiyonosuke, despite having a stronger spiritual pressure than Ichiro and also possessing the power of life weaving, dared not take action; he was unable to complete such a complex task as heart repair.

After stitching it up, Ichiro let out a long sigh of relief, casually wiping the sweat that had resurfaced on his forehead after his assistant had wiped it away. He then placed his hands over the wound again, observing it intently. Then, as his spiritual energy surged, a green ball of spiritual energy emerged from his hands and flowed towards his heart.

These are still life threads, only thinner than before. After a large number of threads converge, they look more like a ball, rather than individual threads as before.

After these delicate threads entered the heart, under Ichiro's control, they did not immediately enter the area he had just stitched up. Instead, they flooded into the entire heart. At the same time, a model of the incomplete heart gradually formed in Ichiro's mind. Then, based on his knowledge, he filled in the missing part of the heart, and a complete heart was clearly presented in Ichiro's mind.

Then things became much simpler. A large amount of silk thread was collected and concentrated at the gap to be mended. The thread moved between the threads and gradually wove the shape according to the heart model in the mind.

Soon, half an hour passed. When the last thread entered the heart, Ichiro breathed a long sigh of relief. At this point, the heart repair was complete. All that was left to do was to treat the huge gap in the wound on his back.

Since this aspect doesn't require the same level of precision as the heart, it's relatively simple. Only a preliminary treatment is needed, and Ichiro doesn't even need to lift a finger; Kiyonosuke can handle it.

So Ichiro simply treated the wound to prevent it from worsening and then stopped the treatment on his back.

Then it's...the front...

Turning the floating, decaying log Xianghe over, Ichiro took a deep breath, looking at the two huge wounds on his chest.

Although the wound on the chest did not involve the heart, it was more troublesome than the heart wound!

Because more organs are damaged here!

Fortunately, Ichiro doesn't need to have all his heart repaired like Ichiro's heart, or rather, he doesn't need to have all of it repaired right now. For these organs, he can repair a portion first to get them out of danger, and then slowly repair the rest. Besides the consumption of spiritual power and mental energy, there are other reasons as well.

Simply put, this is a long shot...

He took a deep breath, then pushed up his glasses again, suppressing the weariness in his eyes. This was the last time. Self-suggestion wasn't a magic bullet; if he continued, he would only snap the taut string in his heart!

Inhale and exhale again. Ichiro stretches out his hands, staring intently at the wound. The process is the same as when he repaired his heart: initial stitching, then building a model in his brain, and finally performing the final treatment.

The brain model step is essential because everyone's internal organ structure is different in some details. If you dare to do it arbitrarily, the patient may die arbitrarily. This is also why Kiyonosuke dares not do it; he is not good at this.

Fortunately, although the workload this time was greater than that of the heart, it did not require complete repair. Therefore, after confirming that Kuchiki Kyoga would not suffer any aftereffects from the remaining injuries, Ichiro felt a sense of relief, staggered back a few steps, and sat down on the ground with a thud.

With his hands supporting him on the ground, he looked wearily at Kiyonosuke and said with a smile, "Vice-Captain, we're out of danger. The rest is up to you. I'm going to rest now..."

After saying that, he fell backward, but fortunately his assistant reacted in time and caught him before he fell to the ground.

Kiyonosuke looked at Ichiro with admiration, smiled, and said softly, "Yes, leave the rest to me. You should go and rest, Ichiro..."

After instructing his assistant to help Ichiro to rest, Seinosuke looked at Kuchiki Kyoga's remaining injuries and chuckled to himself, "Damn it~ it's my turn. If I can't save him even now, it'll be too embarrassing!"

After saying that, a bright green light shone from his hand, and the remaining injuries of Kuchiki Xianghe healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Of course, there was no change in his internal organs, but this did not affect the treatment. Under the illumination of the green light, Kuchiki Xianghe was gradually getting out of danger, and his life force, which was as weak as a candle, quickly returned.

The rotten wood echoes in the river; rescue operation complete!

When Ichiro woke up again, it was three days later. The exhaustion he had suppressed with self-suggestion over the years erupted the moment he collapsed, plunging him into a deep sleep.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, the Zanpakuto world pulled him into the spiritual world, relieving his mental fatigue and making it easier for Ichiro to withstand this mental storm.

This also served as a wake-up call for Ichiro. He was no longer the mortal he once was; his fatigue tolerance had increased dramatically. However, this also meant that he had to suppress even more fatigue through self-suggestion. When Ichiro became even stronger in the future, this would be a self-destructive bomb...

A quintuple increase in value for 2 only adds 8, but a quintuple increase in value for 10 adds 40...

Fortunately, nothing has happened yet, and there's still time.

After waking up, Ichiro left a note in the hospital room and rushed to his dormitory. In addition to relieving his mental fatigue, he also made a deal with the world during his visit to the spiritual world.

The initial tooling plan has been approved!

------------

Chapter Thirty-Six: The Mimicry Zanpakuto Appears!

The Shikai Blade Project is the Mimicry Zanpakuto Project.

As mentioned earlier, the Shikai of a Zanpakuto consists of two steps: the release of spiritual pressure and the leap in the Zanpakuto's own abilities.

As for the release of spiritual pressure, Ichiro, who has already completed his Shikai, has already made progress on this. He just needs to spend some time perfecting it so that he can release his spiritual pressure independently of his Zanpakuto.

What he is about to do is to imitate another element of the initial solution: the leap in the capabilities of the blade.

Zanpakuto are divided into several categories: Kido, Healing, Genjutsu, Rule, and Enhancement. Kido and Healing can be grouped together, making a total of four categories.

However, this is the division of the Soul Society. In Ichiro's understanding, there is only one system, namely the Kido system!

Regardless of the type of Zanpakuto, they all rely on different Kido techniques to achieve one magical effect after another. Therefore, if one's Kido level is high enough, even the most mysterious rule-based Zanpakuto, Ichiro might be able to forge!

Unfortunately, with his current skill level, he can only forge knives other than those based on the rules, and the effects of these knives are relatively weak.

For example, the illusion type. A simple illusion type Zanpakuto is the refraction of light and shadow, which is relatively easy to construct. However, the strongest illusion type Zanpakuto that Ichiro knows so far, Kyoka Suigetsu, cannot achieve absolute control over the five senses. It's impossible to imitate that with a hammer!

Strictly speaking, this already falls into the category of rules-based magic, and is nothing compared to illusion magic!

Fortunately, Ichiro wasn't that ambitious. He only wanted to forge a Kido-type Zanpakuto, which didn't need to be too powerful. He just needed a test subject to verify his theory.

This experiment is still very important for his current research.

At this stage, Ichiro seems to be researching a lot of things, such as the Dao of Reincarnation, alchemy, Kido techniques, Mimicry Shikai, Mimicry Zanpakuto, and the development of spiritual medicines, etc. It seems complicated, but in reality, there are only two lines.

The organization and optimization of past and present life alchemy under the framework of spirit alchemy, and the research and development of ghost path techniques and return path chants based on ghost path knowledge.

These are the two main storylines. Everything else is just a byproduct derived from them. For example, the upcoming mimicry Zanpakuto will verify Ichiro's achievements in Kido theory and the incantation for the return path. Once these theories are verified, the progress of both the development of more advanced Kido techniques and the formal writing of the return path incantation will be greatly accelerated.

Therefore, Ichiro must complete this experiment before the Zanpakuto world turns against him!

Yes, we must act before the Zanpakuto world turns against us!

Previously, a major obstacle to this plan was his own Zanpakuto. To complete the experiment, he needed to thoroughly analyze the Zanpakuto first, and he had always worried that this would anger the Zanpakuto world. After all, in Ichiro's eyes, the Zanpakuto was not a tool, but a living person, a close friend.

So Ichiro had been constrained in many of his experiments with Zanpakuto before, but for some reason, after falling into a coma and entering the spiritual world again, the Zanpakuto world became much more approachable?

Not only did they agree to many of his experiments with Zanpakuto, but they also revealed a lot of data about Zanpakuto to him. He had no doubt that as long as his spiritual pressure reached the required level, he would be able to use Bankai immediately!

And the fact that he spent three days in the mental world was largely due to these reasons...

Ichiro glanced at the data and noticed that it vaguely pointed to the wind-type Kido, which reminded him of the vice-captain-level extra he had fought before, whose Zanpakuto was wind-type.

Ichiro had some guesses. If he were to fight a Shinigami who possessed a rule-based Zanpakuto while wielding his Shikai Zanpakuto, World, then would World give him data about rule-based Zanpakuto?

This is not impossible!

Unfortunately, it's a little late, and there's not much time left...

As his thoughts raced, Ichiro sighed slightly and quickly ran towards the underground base built by Urahara and his group. Along the way, it was obvious that many people were much more relaxed. Clearly, after three days, the last bit of unrest had been suppressed.

Good things kept happening one after another, and Ichiro smiled slightly as he quickly rushed to the underground cavern.

After entering, Ichiro glanced around and, finding nothing amiss, headed to his testing ground. Urahara and Yoruichi likely had other matters to attend to and weren't in the underground base, so he didn't need to go over to say hello or anything, and went straight to the testing area.

Upon arrival, Ichiro skillfully raised the Kido Barrier, then moved a boulder aside, revealing the transmutation circle that was mostly inscribed underneath.

Ichiro stared at the transmutation circle for a moment, then began to make corrections and additions to further improve it. Fortunately, he had already calculated most of the data in his mental world, so he only needed to actually change a few positions.

Soon, a dozen minutes later, a complete and complex transmutation array appeared on the ground.

"Yosh! Done!" Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Ichiro ignored the white grime on his face and quickly pulled out a katana from the messy items behind him, placing it in the center of the alchemy circle.

In fact, the asabu is not necessary. How could Ichiro's painstaking research into spirit particle alchemy be such an inconvenient thing?

The entire alchemy process can actually be completed with just spirit particles, but Ichiro has to consider two issues: mass production afterward and the disappearance of alchemy!

He can directly control spiritual particles, but not other things. He can't possibly forge every mimicry Zanpakuto himself in the future; he doesn't have that much time.

Another reason Ichiro considered was that if the entire process were completed using spirit alchemy, wouldn't he be back to square one after losing his alchemy skills?

Therefore, based on the above two factors, all of Ichiro's inventions and creations could have been completed even without the condition of alchemy, only they would have been more complex.

Therefore, Ichiro chose to use shallow tempering for this step, which would save some tempering steps and increase the success rate!

After placing Asahi in the center of the alchemy circle, Ichiro took a deep breath, placed his hands on the ground, closed his eyes, and began to concentrate on activating the alchemy!

As Ichiro's spirit was infused into it, the alchemy circle began to emit a faint white light.
