"These are the alchemical materials obtained from the mutated monsters."
Xia Zhi picked up a small bottle containing slime that he was very familiar with, but it was a dazzling purple color.
He opened the bottle and poured a little bit of the viscous liquid onto his hand. As he rubbed his fingers together, purple sparks crackled and popped between his fingers.
Lisa watched as he made such a reckless attempt without any protection. Her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but seeing that he was unharmed despite being injured by the electric sparks, she swallowed her words and simply squinted, watching him quietly from the side.
"Sure enough, the properties of the material have become extremely violent."
Xia Zhi put down the bottle and picked up another one, which contained the nectar of the Deceitful Flower, but it still presented a magnificent purple color.
Just like before, he poured a little more nectar into his hand, twirled his fingers, and purple sparks flew from his fingertips.
Xia Zhi hesitated for a moment, then picked up a small alchemy test tube, poured in some purple slime, and then prepared to pour in some purple nectar from the Slime Flower.
Lisa's expression changed, and she quickly stopped him, saying, "Mr. Xia, you mustn't!"
"Oh?"
"This operation will cause an explosion!"
"I guessed so. I just wanted to see the explosion process."
"If you want to come this way, please put on your protective equipment first."
"Alright."
Xia Zhi put down the test tube in her hand and did not insist.
He followed Lisa and put on a set of armor that was somewhat bulky but gave him a sense of security.
This dress must have been worn by Lisa. Xia Zhi was wearing it inside, and she could still faintly smell a fragrance.
Lisa stood a little further away.
Xia Zhi mixed the mucus and nectar together, and the two purple liquids of different shades began to react, becoming extremely unstable. Sparks flashed inside, the test tube vibrated, and then burst open.
But the next moment, the fragments of the test tube froze in mid-air.
The entire alchemy workshop fell into a state of stillness in an instant.
Xia Zhi pushed up his glasses and carefully observed the mixed liquid.
In the glasses' field of vision, there was a dazzling purple lightning bolt, making it impossible to see the specific situation inside.
Xia Zhi switched to the system's God's-eye view again.
Now it's clear as day.
It wasn't that the slime and nectar reacted, but rather that both liquids contained tiny, shimmering specks of light.
These tiny specks of light collided and exploded as the material was mixed together.
Xia Zhi sensed a somewhat familiar aura from the spot of light.
He glanced at his inventory, which contained many small, strangely glowing fragments.
They all share the same item name: [The Path of Lightning].
When his cousin was resurrected, he was assimilated by the rules of lightning, thus gaining the power of the broken rules of lightning.
The reason why these alchemical materials obtained from monsters have such unusual and violent properties is because they have been assimilated and mutated by the rules of lightning.
Xia Zhi seemed to be deep in thought.
He glanced at Lisa, who remained motionless behind him from God's perspective, thought for a moment, and then turned and walked towards her.
He walked over to Lisa and glanced at her still, serious expression, which was made more noticeable by the explosion.
It's quite a contrast to her usual lazy personality. It's a pity that her phone hasn't been modified to have a camera function, otherwise she could have taken a picture to commemorate the occasion.
Xia Zhi walked past Lisa, came to the table, and picked up a set of alchemy materials.
Its appearance also presents a mutated purple color.
Xia Zhi took out a multi-purpose syringe and extracted it.
Some tiny fragments of luminescent liquid appeared inside the syringe, but very little.
After the extraction was completed, the alchemical material in Xia Zhi's hand actually lost its purple color and returned to its original color.
Xia Zhi put the alchemical materials back in his hand, picked up another set, and continued extracting.
Some fine fragments of luminescent liquid were also extracted.
However, the two similar luminescent liquids did not fuse inside the syringe, but instead exhibited a strange layered state.
Xia Zhi placed the alchemical materials, which had faded and returned to their normal appearance, back on the table. Then, he took out the [Multi-Purpose Test Tube], filled the two luminous liquids from the syringe into the test tubes, and then put them into his inventory to examine them.

Non-recyclable.
The Way of Lightning
Quality: Gold.
Type: Rule fragment.
Characteristic: Glowing Light.
Effect: The regular fragments have been broken into tiny pieces and cannot be absorbed or used.
Hidden effect: Can be merged with rule fragments of the same type.
Non-recyclable.
Xia Zhi looked at the item description and pondered.
Just as he had thought, these tiny specks of light were indeed fragments of rules, only they were fragmented more thoroughly.
No wonder even a seasoned alchemist like Lisa couldn't solve this problem.
As for the chief alchemist, Abedo, even though his rank was high enough, he was still helpless when it came to unfamiliar lightning-based power.
Xia Zhi picked up the [Universal Syringe] and injected the two pieces of rule fragments that he had just extracted back into the two pieces of alchemical materials.
They immediately regained that mutated purple color.
Xia Zhi walked back to his original position and lifted the "time freeze" effect.
The explosions continued, and fragments of the test tubes blasted onto his specially designed clothing without causing any harm.
Lisa walked over with a serious expression, her tone tinged with concern: "Mr. Xia, are you alright?"
"Well, I'm fine."
"As you just tried, an explosion always occurs suddenly during the potion-making process. But strangely, sometimes it explodes as soon as the ingredients are added, and sometimes it happens after several ingredients have been added..."
"Is that so?"
Xia Zhi knew the reason.
It's probably because sometimes we're lucky that the alchemical materials we add contain rule fragments of the same nature, so they fuse together directly without any problems, until a new type of rule fragment with different characteristics is added, at which point it suddenly explodes.
The problem has now been identified, and a solution has been found: the [Universal Syringe] can be used to slowly extract and convert these mutated alchemical materials back into normal alchemical materials.
But this process is too troublesome.
It would be great if we could directly utilize these rules and characteristics, turning them into special effects of the potion.
This requires more advanced alchemical skills.
Xia Zhi opened the [Shop] and found an item there.
Alchemy Master
Quality: Gold.
Type: Experience book.
Characteristics: Mixing/blending.
Effect: Become a master alchemist.
Hidden effects: None.
Price: 100 points.
Xia Zhi bought it, stopped time again, and then chose to use it.
He felt as if a great deal of alchemical knowledge had suddenly appeared in his mind.
His mental strength is now extremely powerful, so digesting things is not difficult for him.
After a moment, he looked down at the alchemical materials in front of him and frowned slightly.
No.
