Chapter 1469

Retsu Unohana took the material list. As the captain of the Fourth Division (Medical Division), after seeing the annotations behind the various materials, she immediately distinguished the authenticity of this formula.

Retsu Unohana had three purposes for coming here: first, to judge Su Xiao's purpose; second, to confirm Su Xiao's ability. After confirming the first two points, she would be responsible for negotiating with Su Xiao.

If a researcher like Su Xiao were truly accepted into the Seireitei, he should have been handed over to the Twelfth Division (Technology Development Department) and governed by Nemu Kurotsuchi. But Su Xiao was making potions, so there was no problem with Retsu Unohana governing him.

Or rather, once Retsu Unohana confirmed Su Xiao's ability, she was here to "snatch the person." The Gotei 13 seemed to be a whole, but in reality, each division was responsible for different functions.

The Second Division was the Stealth Force, mainly dealing with internal affairs of the Seireitei; the captain was Soi Fon. The Third Division was the support division, rarely taking the initiative to go out to execute orders. The Fourth and Fifth divisions were medical and rescue divisions, often working together.

It is worth mentioning that Sosuke Aizen was the captain of the Fifth Division (Rescue Division). He had a high reputation in the Seireitei; after all, after Shinigami encountered danger, they were all rescued by the Fifth Division.

Don't think that the rescue division was weak; this was a very strong division. As for the Sixth to Tenth divisions, they were responsible for the interior of the Seireitei, namely: the Noble Exclusive Division, the Inner Court Guard Division, the Intelligence Division, the Prison Division, and the Patrol/Guard Division.

As for the Eleventh Division, this division was very interesting, or rather, it was full of brutes. Since its establishment, eight captains had died, and the current captain was the 11th Kenpachi, Kenpachi Zaraki.

A saying circulated in the Seireitei: to become the captain of the Eleventh Division, one must at least become the contemporary Kenpachi, otherwise one couldn't convince the masses. As for the function of the Eleventh Division, one could guess without thinking: it was a combat-only division, and the casualty rate of its members was the highest among all divisions.

"Kenpachi" was not a title that could be obtained casually. Every generation of Kenpachi was basically the strongest captain in the Gotei 13, excluding the Captain-Commander.

Interestingly, this kind-faced mature woman, Retsu Unohana, was actually the first Kenpachi!

Therefore, Retsu Unohana was definitely not someone to be trifled with. Her combat power ranked among the top few captains, and now she seemed to have put down the butcher's knife and turned to saving people.

"Only these materials?"

Retsu Unohana folded the list in her hand, put it into her sleeve, and looked at Su Xiao with a smile. Su Xiao also showed a smile.

Both of them were looking at each other with smiles. According to common sense, the atmosphere in the room should have been quite good. However, Rangiku Matsumoto, who was sitting on the side, felt very wrong—very wrong.

Cold sweat seeped down Rangiku Matsumoto's cheeks. Although the other two were smiling, she always had a feeling that both of them might erupt at any moment and start fighting in the next second.

"Only these are needed."

Su Xiao was still looking at Retsu Unohana. He sensed heavy bloodthirst on this woman; this kind of bloodthirst wasn't something that could be possessed by killing a few hundred or a few thousand people.

"Since that's the case, I'll go and prepare first. I'll wait for your good news later. If you have any difficulties, you can come to the Fourth Division's station to find me."

Retsu Unohana stood up.

"Rangiku, your complexion doesn't look right. Do you want to come to the Fourth Division for a check-up?"

"Uh~ no need, thank you, Captain Unohana."

Rangiku Matsumoto didn't say one thing: the reason her complexion was so ugly was entirely because of the eerie feeling that the two of you might start fighting at any moment.

Retsu Unohana and Rangiku Matsumoto left. Su Xiao rubbed his forehead. Retsu Unohana was very difficult to deal with, and he had to minimize contact with her. But if he wasn't mistaken, he would eventually be assigned to either the Fourth Division or the Twelfth Division.

Compared to that crazy scientist in the Twelfth Division, Su Xiao felt that Retsu Unohana was even more troublesome. However, things had gone very smoothly so far; at least he had already entered the Seireitei and had the opportunity to climb up.

After thinking about it, Su Xiao discovered that, except for the danger of being with Retsu Unohana, joining the Fourth Division was actually a good choice. First of all, the Fourth Division was a medical division, which was very convenient for him to hide his combat power. He was a researcher + medical personnel; even if those Shinigami were thick-skinned, they wouldn't send him to fight.

In the current situation, Su Xiao didn't have much interest in fighting Hollows. On the contrary, the gains from killing Shinigami were higher: Zanpakuto + biological energy + treasure chest + World Source—it could be said to be killing many birds with one stone.

The efficiency of looking for Shinigami in the real world or Rukongai was too low, so Su Xiao entered the Seireitei directly. There were the most Shinigami here, and he could choose his targets at will.

Thinking of this, Su Xiao shook his head. He was now a kind and easy-going researcher; those things would be considered later.

After Retsu Unohana left, Su Xiao received a large number of prompts.

【The Hunter has joined the Seireitei (Shinigami faction).】

【You have become a temporary member of the Fourth Division.】

【Faction reputation to be activated. If the Hunter becomes a full member of the Fourth Division, Seireitei reputation will be activated. The Hunter can use Seireitei reputation to exchange for items at the Sixth Division (Noble Exclusive Division).】

……

The Sixth Division could be considered the most special among the thirteen divisions. In name, they were the "Noble Exclusive Division," but in reality, they controlled materials, financial resources, etc. All expenditures of the Seireitei were controlled by the Sixth Division, and the captain of the Sixth Division was named Byakuya Kuchiki.

Byakuya Kuchiki was usually stern and didn't smile, but no one wanted to provoke him. Not to mention his noble status, this guy was the one in charge of money. Whoever provoked him would be unlucky. Even the gloomy Nemu Kurotsuchi didn't want to provoke him.

If Byakuya Kuchiki was offended, the research team under Nemu Kurotsuchi would face funding problems. One must know that the Twelfth Division (Research Department) was in a state of loss all year round. Without the relief of the Sixth Division, they might not even be able to make ends meet, let alone conduct research.

The Fourth Division's efficiency was quite good. In less than two hours, a Shinigami sent a large amount of materials and equipment. The equipment was relatively simple, all being necessities for preparing potions.

Five hours later, the first batch of materials was complete. After obtaining these materials, Su Xiao certainly couldn't immediately manufacture the Ancient Secret Medicine (Reishi-improved version). He now needed to determine the properties of these materials.

Early the next morning, Su Xiao, who hadn't slept all night, was finally ready. All kinds of materials had been processed, and a semi-solid Reishi the size of a dragon's eye had condensed.

The preparation began. The preparation process was not as smooth as imagined. It took more than fifty failures before Su Xiao prepared a potion he was satisfied with.

Su Xiao shook a test tube in his hand. Inside the test tube was a pale green medicinal liquid that looked moist and full of vitality, and one could faintly see white light spots flashing in the solution.

【Ancient Secret Medicine (Improved Version)】
