Chapter 40: A Basin of Blood



Ming Medical Department.

Zhou Zhilu followed Aunt Mo into the house and saw Qiluo sitting at the table, wearing glasses... on his face!

"Glasses?" Zhou Zhilu exclaimed.

Qi Luo was startled and said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you so startled? What glasses?"

"It's the one you wear on your face!" Zhou Zhilu pointed at Qi Luo's face and wondered in his heart if there were other time travelers in this world?

Qi Luo took off his glasses and said, "Oh, you're talking about this. This is called the Pupil Amplification Mirror."

Zhou Zhilu blinked his confused eyes: "Pupil Amplification Mirror?"

Qi Luo explained, "Pupil skills are indispensable in some research, such as microscopic observation, perspective, and qi reading, but pupil skills are quite difficult to improve. When you want to have greater power, you can use this pupil skill amplification mirror.

"It's made from the eyeball of the Wind Fierce Bird. How's it? Want it? I'll sell it to you for 500 gold coins!"

Seeing Qi Luo raising his eyebrows and looking like a profiteer, Zhou Zhilu quickly shook his head and rejected the sales pitch.

But through the conversation with Qiluo, Zhou Zhilu also understood one thing.

Although this world has not developed in the direction of science, because of various magical means and rare materials produced by various monsters, it has also developed many ingenious tools.

But it’s no wonder that the demons and humans are mortal enemies. How can the other party not hate them when they use other people’s body parts to make things every day?

I heard that some weapons and items can be integrated with demon souls, thus possessing special functions.

They don't even let go of people's souls. No wonder people say that all monsters have treasures.

Of course, the monsters are not in a much better situation. The flesh and blood of human monks are a great tonic for them.

Moreover, they also covet the technology and land of the human race all day long.

So there is no pure racial war, there is only a struggle for interests between different races.

Just as Zhou Zhilu was daydreaming, Qi Luo brought a washbasin and placed it in front of Zhou Zhilu.

Zhou Zhilu looked at the basin and asked in confusion, "What's this for? Washing hands?"

Qi Luo put his hands on his hips and said, "Why are you washing your hands? Of course, it's to bleed you. The research needs to test the fusion of your blood with the red crystal toxin."

Zhou Zhilu's eyes widened instantly as he asked, "Put, put a pot?"

Qi Luo nodded happily and said as a matter of course: "Of course the more the better.

Zhou Zhilu's legs softened instantly upon hearing this, and he murmured, "Is it too late for me to go back now?"

"What do you think?" Qi Luo looked at Zhou Zhilu with a smile.

"Gurgle~Gurgle~"

Blood flowed down Zhou Zhilu's wrist into the basin, and in a blink of an eye, it had accumulated to half the basin.

Zhou Zhilu pursed his dry lips, took pills to replenish his blood and qi, and felt the abundant spiritual energy in his body.

Qi Luo, who was standing by, could sense the concentration of spiritual energy that seemed to be overflowing from Zhou Zhilu's body and couldn't help but say, "Your technique is quite interesting. You've lost so much blood and energy, yet your spiritual energy is incredibly abundant."

Zhou Zhilu chewed a blood-tonifying pill and muttered, "You've misplaced your skills. Restoring the normal skills... hiccup~"

Then he said in pain, "Is there any water? Just chewing the meatballs is too dry!"

Qi Luo rolled his eyes and handed Zhou Zhilu a glass of water, then casually asked, "Does the Fan family have anything to do with this red crystal?"

Zhou Zhilu looked at Qiluo in surprise, and was surprised that the other party was obviously just an outsider, but he deduced it based on some clues.

He immediately explained: "It's not certain yet. Even if it's a suspicion, there's no evidence to prove it."

Then he repeated his doubts.

Qi Luo nodded and said, "As for the token... that is indeed suspicious, but the Fan family is a fourth-rank official after all, the prefect of the capital. Without evidence, we can't touch them."

"Why are you so curious about this?"

Qi Luo licked his lips and said, "I'm not interested in the Fan family, but I'm quite interested in the method of refining red crystals."

Zhou Zhilu's eyes suddenly became wary when he heard this.

Qi Luo rolled his eyes at Zhou Zhilu: "I won't use this thing to harm others. Red crystal is of little value. What is valuable is its refining method and principle. Do you understand what I mean?

"Hehe, since it's possible to transform humans into half-demons... can it also transform demons into half-humans?

"Or if we can reduce its effects but increase the speed of transformation, could we create a pill that can grant specific demon abilities in a short period of time?!"

Qi Luoyue became more and more excited as she spoke, her petite body dancing with joy as she said, "How about we just secretly tie up the father and son of the Fan family and torture them to extract a confession?"

Noticing Zhou Zhilu's look, Qi Luo stood up straight with his hands behind his back and coughed, "Ahem, that's what's going on. Do you understand? Okay, the blood is almost enough."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhilu treated his wound instantly and looked at the basin of blood in front of him with a look of reluctance on his face.

I couldn't help but ask, "How are you going to use them?"

"Burn it, soak it, and see how the red crystal's toxin dissolves in the blood and what state it is in after dissolution. Anyway, you won't understand even if I tell you, so just leave if you're fine." Qi Luo said perfunctorily.

Zhou Zhilu said disdainfully, "Huh, I don't understand? Do you know about distillation? Do you know about crystallization, centrifugation, column chromatography, and activated carbon purification?"

Qi Luo looked at Zhou Zhilu in confusion when he heard this. For a moment he was really frightened by these words.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhilu raised his brows and wanted to leave, but Qi Luo hurriedly ran up to him and stopped him.

"Hey! Explain yourself before you leave!"

Zhou Zhilu immediately turned his head away. Qiluo looked at him unkindly and said, "How dare you bluff me?"
