My health recovery is incredibly fast.

Next are the wind and earth elements.

The wind is invisible.

It will float.

A fresh, clean breeze can purify the polluted environment inside the alchemy room.

At the same time, the wind, which carries a scent, can also spread the scent.

Intangible, drifting, purifying, spreading. Xia Zuo wrote down the four characteristics of the wind element. However, two seconds later, he changed "purifying" to "connecting".

Finally, there's the earth element.

What are the characteristics of the earth element?

He scratched his cheek and hesitantly wrote down the word "stable".

Then I remembered playing in the mud and sandpit when I was a child, building crooked little things with mud and sand, so I wrote the word "shape" on a piece of paper.

And then what? What are the other two properties of the earth element?

I frowned and pondered for a long time, but I really couldn't think of a suitable word.

Xia Zuo put down his pen with a hint of helplessness, picked up the paper he had just finished writing on, and scanned the paper back and forth with his eyes.

Isn't this too subjective and arbitrary?

Everyone has a different understanding of elements, and the characteristics of elements they imagine are also different.

Just like the standards for evaluating others, everyone has their own views and judgments, and there will inevitably be obvious differences in the standards by which people evaluate others.

Xia Zuo was scratching his head, unable to figure out whether his imagined elemental properties were consistent with those summarized by the alchemical school.

He moved his feet and walked back to the basic alchemy room. After hesitating several times, he woke up his mentor who was meditating.

Kulov was interrupted from his meditation. Without any annoyance or impatience, he opened his eyes and was immediately drawn to the few pages of paper in the other person's hand.

"This is an elemental property you conceived yourself?!"

He took the paper and pressed his left hand against his brow.

I had to press it; my eyebrows were twitching wildly.

Ever since Xia Zuo's alchemical potential was rated as top-tier yesterday, his eyebrows haven't been still. They're either twitching or on their way to twitching.

Looking at his mentor's somber expression, Xia Zuo cautiously asked:

"Professor, is what I wrote correct? It's a pity... I can only think of two characteristics of the earth element."

“Hmm.” Kulov gave an ambiguous hum. “That’s pretty good for you. A little worse than I was back then. But that’s partly due to age. I was in my twenties when I conceived of elemental properties, and I had been exposed to far more things than you have.”

He handed the paper back, waved his hand, and said:

"Go back and think about it again."

You only have one chance to submit your idea.

“Otherwise, it would be me indirectly instructing you. Let it go this time. It was my oversight. I didn’t expect that you would have your own ideas so quickly, inspired by the four-pointed star formation.”

“Yes, Professor.” Xia Zuo turned and walked towards the advanced alchemy room.

"Wait a minute." Kulov held out his hand to the other person, his eyebrows furrowed.

"Why are you able to come up with so many ideas, yet your spiritual ocean has only just begun to transform?"

"Huh? What?"

Xia Zuo turned his head to look at the soft sofa.

What is the tutor saying?

He scratched the back of his head in confusion.

With a solemn expression, Kulov pulled a thick picture book from the bookshelf.

Xia Zuo remembers this picture book.

Before taking Anruer into the Poison Alchemy Zone for the first time, the mentor had learned about her past experiences and performance in the academy through this book.

Xia Zuo's own growth information is also included.

Kulov stared at the words on the page, nodded slowly, as if he had understood something, and his expression returned to calm:

"It must have been the suffering you endured in the dark cave that severely damaged your mental well-being."

"Thank goodness, you have a strong will and have successfully recovered from your trauma."

He looked at Xia Zuo with kind eyes and said gently:

"Go refine the poison into powder; it will greatly help in developing elemental properties."

"Yes, Professor."

Xia Zuo nodded and walked into the corridor, slowly moving forward under the bright lights.

What did the tutor just ask?

I can come up with so many ideas, but why is it only now that the ocean of my mind is beginning to transform?

What do you mean?

The Ocean of Spirit begins to transform when its Spirit attribute reaches 9 points.

My initial spirit level is 1 point.

Unlike others, I wasn't born with an energy level of 8, 9, or even 10 points or higher.

I finally managed to improve to 9 points by diligently studying and memorizing.

It was through his past life experiences and imagination that he came up with the idea of ​​so many elemental properties.

Does it have anything to do with whether the spiritual ocean has undergone a transformation?

and many more.

!!!

There really is a connection!

Xia Zuo was stunned, standing frozen in front of the advanced alchemy table, his back drenched in cold sweat.

Before the conversation just now, in Kurov's eyes, I was just a suffering country boy who was able to enter Starry Night Academy only because of my tenacious will and the fire resistance brought by my fire-breathing performance.

Growing up in a remote village, one has little access to knowledge. Even with a photographic memory, it's difficult to discover its potential.

How could someone like me, whose spiritual ocean is only just beginning to transform, possibly come up with the idea of ​​elemental characteristics in such a short time?

I was careless, so careless. We almost got exposed.

Xia Zuo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He held the few sheets of paper in his hand, the paper soaked with sweat from his fingers and palms. It was all because things had gone smoothly for him lately, making him let his guard down.

He sat down in the chair close to the shelf, feeling his blood pressure was a little high and his head was spinning. He rested for a long time, supporting his head with his arms, and finally recovered from the lingering fear.

"call"

Xia Zuo let out a long sigh, leaned back in his chair, and looked up at the alchemical lamps overhead.

Fortunately, the mentor found a suitable reason himself.

The mental trauma Kulov mentioned should be the kind of negative effect that reduces mental attribute values ​​for a certain period of time.

He probably thought that my mental attribute value was originally very high, close to the level of mental ocean transformation like his, but the experience in the cave left my mental ocean in a damaged state.

More than two years have passed since they escaped the clutches of the evil old man.

Through willpower and persistent reading, I recovered from my mental trauma and began to transform my inner world.

Then, inspired by the four-pointed star array, he successfully summarized the concept of elemental properties.

Reasonable.

It's perfectly reasonable!

Xia Zuo smiled.

Sometimes, it really is just that coincidental.

The biggest flaw, it turns out, already had the best solution.

The body's parents both perished in the village, which was burned to ashes. The village was located at the southernmost tip of the kingdom, the most remote and underdeveloped place.

There were no survivors, no witnesses, and no testimonies.

No one knows what the real "Xia Zuo" is like.

Perfect.

Perfectly clothed.

No wonder the original owner had absolutely no memories of the body when she transmigrated here.

It turns out it's completely unnecessary.

"Big Brother Golden Finger, the timing you chose for time travel is truly amazing!"

Xia Zuo silently complimented him in his heart, but unsurprisingly, he didn't reply.

The system is very aloof and basically ignores the host's teasing.

He was used to this. It's more important to get down to business.

Xia Zuo stood up from the chair, stretched his arms, loosened his shoulders, and tidied up the toxin bottles on the shelf.

Since the "golden finger" (a term referring to a powerful, influential figure) had already arranged a flawless backstory, his own unusual behavior now had a reasonable explanation.

So!

Let's go all out!

Learn the basic poison formula within 6 months, and then spend another 6 months learning the corresponding refined powder formula.

Spend a maximum of one year mastering most of the introductory content, and then focus all your efforts on studying the characteristics of elements.

If you still can't grasp the essence of elements after a year and a half, then you can find a tutor to give you lessons.

Ah!

Ok, deal.
