Chapter 1647 Everyone Has a Temper
"It's exactly what I thought!"

Zhang Xuezhou's judgment on the medicinal properties does not come from instrumental analysis of the ingredients, but rather from consideration of the source of the medicine, the growing environment, etc., and then from tasting to judging.

Purple gladiolus has a slightly sour and bitter taste.

If the venom of a venomous snake is injected into the blood vessels, it will produce a violent reaction, but if it is taken orally, it will not invade the blood vessels and will be digested.

When gladiolus is alive, it has a powerful hallucinogenic effect, but after being cut off, it loses this magical effect and has no effect even if swallowed.

To activate this ability, you need the power of elixir.

Zhang Xuezhou did not expect to use the gladiolus to refine a powerful soul-forging pill or even a good fortune pill. As Zhou Yueyan and others needed it, he was more focused on the negative effects.

His Soul-Forging Pills, when given to people who don't need mana recovery, will cause a strong vomiting effect due to mana stimulation, followed by the inevitable hallucinogenic effect.

Even Zhang Xuezhou himself could not avoid being poisoned by this elixir and could only rely on the Anti-Poison Technique to eliminate the effects.

After taking a small dose of the ointment again, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the tables and chairs in the entire laboratory were singing.

There was no change in the mana recovery brought by the Soul-Forging Ointment, but the hallucinogenic ability had obviously improved dramatically.

Even Zhang Xuezhou did not expect that his alchemy direction would be extended to developing a tonic into a medicine with toxic side effects.

However, the market for this kind of poison pill is relatively small, and normal people will not take it. There is no need to force others to take it. It is better to choose other medicines than to use this scarce material.

Zhang Xuezhou felt that the medicine might only be of some use against some huge exotic beasts or ferocious beasts. It still needed to be verified to know the efficacy of the medicine. And only people like the Zhou family who were good at defense could feed the medicine to the ferocious beasts.

The drug's uses and customers are very limited, and from a normal economic perspective, it is a failure.

Zhang Xuezhou sang a song for three minutes along with the chair.

He couldn't help but marvel at the fact that the purple gladiolus from the Luo Ke Emperor's Mausoleum didn't produce a hallucinogenic effect on him, but it had a different effect after being made into a pill.

The purple gladiolus in the tombs of Emperors Luo Shan and Luo Yongwen are thicker and larger. Zhang Xuezhou thinks that it is likely to have better effects when used as medicine.

The elixir was made, but Zhang Xuezhou always felt that his method of making the elixir was inappropriate.

Each medicinal ingredient has its own toxic side effects, as well as its own beneficial effects. When combined together, the benefits can be brought into play and the toxic side effects can be eliminated, thus obtaining a elixir that can cure diseases and save lives.

However, Zhang Xuezhou's current pharmaceutical production tends to focus on the negative effects of medicinal herbs.

"I have to ask my foster father about this herb and ask for his advice!"

As a half-baked alchemist, Zhang Xuezhou would not study alone to solve a problem he could not solve, but would draw lots to call for help.

He needed to learn the tracking technique from Dong Zhongshu, and also needed to find Zhao Bugui to discuss elixir.

Of course, Zhang Xuezhou also needs to find Li Shaojun.

He also wanted to go back to Chang'an City as soon as possible to ask Zheng Wukong and others to check his health.

The complexity of these things is no less than the complicated things Zhang Xuezhou has been dealing with in reality these days.

But Zhang Xuezhou has been working very quickly in the past ten days. On the one hand, he spread the "Heavenly Correspondence" and promoted the development of reference cases in reality. He even had the help of Ren Yisheng to promote the improvement of the application of "Heavenly Correspondence", which saved him a lot of trouble.

Secondly, it is to seek the alliance of many elderly people in the Old Age Mansion, which has a broader development prospect.

The third was that it was the first time that he tracked down the extraterritorial demon within the territory of the Red Alliance. It was always better to discover such things early than to deal with them late, so as to avoid him being passively involved in them and suffering from the turmoil.

Fourthly, Zhang Xuezhou also did not neglect the Yin-Yang realm techniques promoted by him. Combining them with Dong Zhongshu's "Chun Qiu Fan Lu", he integrated them steadily and rapidly.

If he works harder, he might be able to make both realms progress simultaneously in the next twelve days of practice.

So many things filled his time.

Walking out of his laboratory, Zhang Xuezhou took a deep breath of air and felt that there was rarely any free time in his life.

When he can relax and enjoy himself in both worlds, Zhang Xuezhou feels that it will be the perfection of his life.

"Zhang Xuezhou, what have you been doing in the lab? I can't get in touch with you for so many days?"

It was already nine o'clock in the evening. When Zhang Xuezhou walked out of the institute and looked at the night sky, he did not expect that there were other outsiders in the institute.

"You're using the R32 catalyst to push the sequence, so why are you here?"

The person who spoke in the institute was Zuo Teng. Zhang Xuezhou was quite curious about Zuo Teng's behavior of running around, and it was even possible that he would stay overnight in his institute.

He had given his beast belt to Song Sijia, so Zuo Teng logically no longer had any need to come to the B13 Institute. "Are the images you sent me last time really the results of my father's body scan?" Zuo Teng asked.

"You're asking about this?" Zhang Xuezhou asked curiously, "Of course it's your father's medical examination report. Your father ran away after the examination. It was Professor Zhou who asked me to help, so I filmed it and sent it to you offline!"

"You didn't lie to me?" Zuo Teng asked doubtfully.

"We did the test together at the High-tech Agricultural Products Research Center. I was the first one to go in, your father was the second, and Professor Zhou was the third." Zhang Xuezhou said, "I can't send my test report to you. Besides, the report was given to me by Professor Zhou. I have said what I should say. If you don't believe it, then you can believe it or not!"

"It's not that I don't believe it, it's that my dad can't accept the reality that he has a tumor," Zuo Teng said with a headache, "He got angry with me when I tried to persuade him!"

"and then?"

"And then he hit me!"

"The results of it?"

"I beat him up, and then he called me a rebellious son, and ordered a bunch of people to kick me out!"

Zuo Teng spread his hands, indicating that he had no home to return to at the moment and it would be easy for him to continue fighting with Zuo Quan if he went back.

"I can't control your family affairs," Zhang Xuezhou waved his hands and said, "If you want to stay overnight, find an empty room. There are chickens and eggs in the backyard. You can eat as much as you want. Don't be polite to me!"

"I moved in a few days ago and have been eating eggs for several days in a row," Zuo Teng said angrily.

"Keep eating, all you can eat!"

Zhang Xuezhou looked at Zuo Teng with sympathy, thinking that Zuo Quan was a man of low ability but with a bad temper.

Of course, Zuo Teng, who beat his sick father, also had a bad temper. He fought with his father only ten days after entering the third sequence.

The grievances and hatreds among the wealthy families were too outrageous. Zhang Xuezhou felt that he did not want to get involved, nor did he have the ability to help Zuo Teng deal with such matters.

Considering that Zuo Teng needs to continue to provide R32 catalyst, he can let Zuo Teng take refuge here.

Of course, as the one who was about to lie down, Zhang Xuezhou hoped that Zuo Teng could be well behaved and not disturb his sleep, and if anything happened, it could be resolved quickly.

"What's inside the imperial mausoleum?"

Only after Zhang Xuezhou confessed did Zuo Teng ask in a low voice.

"I checked my father's previous records. He didn't have a tumor half a month ago, but he developed a tumor after a trip to the imperial mausoleum. This is very unscientific," Zuo Teng whispered.

"There is no logic to the growth of an acute tumor. It is normal for a tumor to be fine today and die tomorrow," said Zhang Xuezhou.

"Acute tumors must have a trigger. It is impossible for them to suddenly grow on a healthy person." Zuo Teng said, "What on earth did you do in the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum?"

Being able to obtain Zuo Quan’s physical examination images can only prove that Zhang Xuezhou is also one of the members of the operation.

Zuo Quan didn't say anything, and Zuo Jin didn't want to say anything either. The relationship between Zuo Teng and Zuo Jin was also very bad, so he could only come to ask Zhang Xuezhou.

"I feel like my dad not only has a tumor, but his thinking seems to have changed as well," Zuo Teng whispered, "When he looks at me, it's like he's looking at a disgusting dog. He doesn't want to get close to me at all!"

“Your adjective is very interesting!”

"There's something wrong with his strength. If he gets angry and attacks me, someone who has just entered the third sequence like me won't be able to defeat him. But he was beaten to the ground and screamed without being able to fight back. This is incredible to me!"

"It seems that he still loves you very much and is reluctant to use harsh measures!"

Zhang Xuezhou didn't want to get involved in the Zuo family's affairs at all, and Zuo Teng's responses were perfunctory when he talked to him.

It was not until Zuo Teng mentioned that Zuo Quan had difficulty controlling his anger and that he wanted to sever their father-son relationship that Zhang Xuezhou took it seriously.

"You're not going to use this as an excuse to say that you don't have the support of your family and can't spend money to make the finished R32 catalyst for me, right?" Zhang Xuezhou frowned and said, "This is just the R32 catalyst. It's hard for me to include you in the cooperation of R33 and other catalysts if you do this."

"I don't have that idea, though...but I'll do it for you now!"

Zuo Teng responded dejectedly.

He had been wondering what had happened during the investigation of the imperial mausoleum that had led to Zuo Quan's change of temperament.

But Zuo Teng didn't expect that Zhang Xuezhou's ideas were completely different from his.

But what Zhang Xuezhou thought was not wrong. If he couldn't get along well with Zuo Quan, once Zuo Quan blocked his laboratory access, Zuo Teng really would not be able to cooperate with Zhang Xuezhou.
