My health recovery is incredibly fast.

Kulov said in a deep voice, his eyes sweeping over the students in front of him.

"Yes, Your Excellency, we understand."

"Go have dinner, everyone. You can do whatever you want tonight. Finish learning the Alchemy Linguistics as soon as possible so we can start our evening class."

Kulov waved his arm toward the door, picked up a book, and lay down on the red sofa.

Xia Zuo and his two companions bowed in thanks and left the poison alchemy area.

Inside the castle hall, Xia Zuo bid farewell to Mason and Brandon and headed to the dining room alone.

"Xia Zuo."

Anru jumped out from behind a stone pillar and quickly caught up with the other person. "Do you have class tonight?"

"No, huh?"

Xia Zuo had only uttered half a sentence when a letter floated from not far away and landed in his hand.

The message was a simple line; Kulov instructed him to arrive at the poison alchemy zone by 6:10 p.m.

"I have class tonight. My advisor asked me to come over after dinner."

Xia Zuo put the letter away, abandoning his original plan to go to the library to read books.

"Okay, then I'll memorize the Alchemy Linguistics by myself."

"What will you be doing in your first oil alchemy class?" Xia Zuo asked as the two walked toward the restaurant.

"Professor Zhuo Lang prepared a wooden box for each of us, containing 30 glass bottles. We were to use our sense of smell to identify what was inside the bottles."

Anru jumped up happily and said with a grin:

"Professor Zhuo Lang is so cunning! Many of the bottles contained odorless oil that looked like clear water. We even searched for it in the book for ages. In the end, when the answer was finally revealed, he told us that they were just water."

Xia Zuo laughed heartily:

"Then you need to be more careful next time. If Professor Zhuo Lang really does produce something that looks like water, don't make a hasty judgment."

"Yes, yes! I need to be patient and never write down the results of my assessment before I am absolutely certain."

Anru smiled sweetly and continued:

"Let's have a seafood boiled set meal together tonight. A big pot, stuffed with all sorts of ingredients."

"Okay, either way is fine with me."

The two entered the restaurant and headed to a quiet, less crowded corner.

A minute or two later, a steaming pot was brought to the table. A ring of small food containers hung around the rim of the pot, using the residual heat of the pot to heat the food inside.

Anru sprinkled spicy seasoning into the pot, and couldn't wait to scoop up a bowl of squid tentacles with a ladle. "I'm starting to eat. It's too hot!"

Xia Zuo stirred the pot a few times, letting the seafood at the bottom float to the surface. He scooped up some shellfish for himself and left the squid for Anruer.

6 pm.

Xia Zuo escorted Anruer into the library corridor and then headed towards the Poison Alchemy section.

Good evening, Professor.

Kulov lay lazily on the soft sofa, raising his chin towards the desk:

"There's a test paper on the table. Go and do it. You can use the alchemical tools and poison bottles here."

Xia Zuo walked to the table and picked up the test paper to examine it.

There is only one question above, and the main part is written in alchemical language. At first glance, it is not difficult to judge that this is a practical question.

..

1. Prepare the poison according to the following steps:

STEP.1: ① PT.PN32, ② PT.PA56, ①②③, ③

STEP.2: ①One PT.③, ④One Hundred PL.YS028, ③④⑤, ⑤

2. Accurately detect the effect of ⑤.

..

PN32 is flavonoid, and PA56 is oxaliplatin.

The compound toxin that this question requires to be prepared is leukoprin, which I only learned about this afternoon.

Xia Zuo put on his mask, took the two basic toxins from the poison bottle cabinet, and carefully prepared the white palate toxin according to the instructions on toxin separation.

YS028 is a whitish solvent with a taste similar to milk poured into water. Its sole purpose is to contain white, flocculent toxins like leukoprin, making the contents undetectable to the naked eye.

Xia Zuo was somewhat perplexed after preparing the poison marked ⑤.

The question requires "accurately detecting the effect of ⑤", instead of just giving a guess as in the afternoon.

Xia Zuo looked at his mentor, his expression hesitant, and asked:

"Professor Kulov, do I have to drink this poison myself? Can I test it on some mice?"

Kurov, nestled in the soft sofa, put down his book, shook his head, and said:

"We poison alchemists are the best guinea pigs. You can drink it little by little, and stop immediately when you feel any unusual effects. Hmm... according to the records of your postnatal affinity test, your willpower is quite strong, so you'll need to drink about half a bottle before you feel the effects of the poison."

It seems a little awkward.

Xia Zuo was taken aback, not expecting that his misunderstanding with the acquired affinity tester, Thalesmeso, would actually affect Kulov's initial impression of him.

He used his detection spell on the poison he had prepared himself, and the information he received was more detailed than that of poisons prepared by others.

..

Prop name? ? ? ?

Item type: poison

Item grade

Insufficient perception and knowledge reserves prevented the acquisition of more information.

Item quality

Completion rate: 85%, Good

Related soil resistance.

It is expected that once the soil resistance reaches 0.5, the effect of this agent on the host will be significantly reduced.

Props Description

Made by Xia Zuo using leukoprin as a base.

Item effects

After drinking one-third of the bottle, you will gain 1 stack of suffocation effect, which will deduct 20 health points per minute for 1 minute.

Subsequent ingestion of poison will prolong the duration of the suffocation effect but will not stack the suffocation effect layers.

..

Kulov said that you should stop drinking it as soon as you feel the effects of the poison.

Then drink one-third of it.

Xia Zuo glanced at his health points.

..

Health

4545健康

Base health regeneration speed

0.1 points/minutes

..

One-third of a vial of poison reduces your health by 20 points, which is less than half of your maximum health. It won't trigger an emergency, so drinking it won't prevent you from getting hurt.

Xia Zuo uncorked the bottle, poured the appropriate amount into the measuring cup, took a deep breath, held it, and downed the entire amount in one gulp.

"cough.."

He felt a spicy, burning sensation slide down his throat to his chest.

The body convulsed, the air stored in the lungs uncontrollably rushed out of the nostrils and mouth, the eardrums were compressed, and the eyeballs gradually swelled.

With uncontrollable tremors, Xia Zuo struggled to sit on the wooden stool, feeling as if his head was a balloon filled with air, unable to hear anything except for tinnitus.

As the last breath left my chest, a vast, suffocating feeling spread throughout my body.

Thump thump...

The sound of a heartbeat could be heard, but it was growing weaker.

Xia Zuo's face turned deathly pale, and he slowly loosened his grip on the armrest.

His open mouth, the palate, was covered with a thick layer of white substance, blocking the entire passageway between his nose and throat.

Time slipped away amidst the endless pressure and trembling, and finally, one minute passed.

"Huchi! Huchi!"

Xia Zuo's stiff body suddenly trembled, and he opened his mouth to greedily inhale the long-lost air.

The message from the cheat system came to my mind:

"Successfully drank one-third of a bottle of the homemade unknown poison, receiving an additional 15 experience points, gaining 2.3 experience points, increasing Willpower attribute by 0.023, and gaining 0.023 Earth Resistance."

Kulov placed the book on his stomach, interlaced his fingers in front of him, and lay back on the soft sofa, asking:

"How are you feeling? Have you detected any specific toxic effects?"

Xia Zuo poured himself a glass of water, gulped down most of it, and finally felt relieved from the lingering fear of suffocation.

"It's been detected, Professor. This vial of poison can induce a spasm, passively expelling air from the chest cavity, and then constricting the nasal and pharyngeal passages, producing a strong suffocating effect."

Kulov nodded slowly, a smile playing on his lips as he stroked his mustache and said with a hint of appreciation:

“Very good. That concludes tonight’s lesson. However, there is still plenty of time. You can try drinking the white palate poison a few more times and think about what methods can counteract the suffocating effect of this poison, or what the specific antidote for this poison might be.”
