Chapter 19
Hot Pressing (5/5)

Yoruichi Shihōin walked in front of Kisuke Urahara and said, "Seriously, how confident are you in passing the Captain's Assessment, Kisuke?"

Kisuke Urahara slowly stood up and said, "Well... according to the Captain's Selection criteria..."

"There are three conditions in total, as long as you meet any one of them, you can become a Captain of the Gotei 13!"

"The first is to pass the Captain's exam in the presence of three or more Captains, including the Captain-Commander!"

"The second is to be recommended by six or more Captains and get the approval of three or more other Captains."

"And the special third point is to cut down the current captain of the 11th Division, Kenpachi Zaraki, in front of 200 members!"

"With your help, Yoruichi-san, if you can connect with two other captains, you can reach half of the first condition!"

Yoruichi Shihōin nodded and said, "That's right! With my connections and Genzō-kun in the 4th Division, we can also pull in Byakuya-kun from the 6th Division, so we can solve the problem of three captains! Now the most important thing is how to pass the Captain's exam!"

Then, Yoruichi Shihōin smiled slightly, very confidently and said, "Don't worry, Kisuke! You can fight me for so many rounds now, your strength is definitely at the Captain level!"

"Mm!" Kisuke Urahara also smiled at the corners of his mouth, showing a look of joy.

...

At this time, in the drug processing room.

Genzō Chōkō muttered to himself, "The ratio has been determined, the ratio of "Born Flame Spirit Flower" and "Thunderfall Grass" is 3.5:4.5, and the Soul Liquid is added in a ratio of 2. Then, the concoction begins!"

On the experimental table, there were three bottles of liquids with different colors on the test tube rack.

Constantly bubbling, the blood-red bottle was the extracted essence liquid of "Born Flame Spirit Flower".

The transparent liquid flashing with lightning was the extracted essence liquid of "Thunderfall Grass".

The other bottle appeared as a gray mist, which was the Soul Liquid. It is a liquid that is used as a catalyst and a neutralizer.

Genzō Chōkō first took a portion of Soul Liquid, then poured the extracted essence liquid of "Born Flame Spirit Flower" in a ratio of 3.5 into this portion of Soul Liquid with a ratio of 1.

The same procedure, the extracted essence liquid of "Thunderfall Grass" in a ratio of 4.5 was also poured into another portion of Soul Liquid with a ratio of 1.

The purpose of this step is to use Soul Liquid, as a neutralizer and catalyst, to reduce the activity of "Born Flame Spirit Flower" and "Thunderfall Grass", and the strictly proportioned Soul Liquid can keep them calm. This is beneficial to the fusion of various active factors.

After waiting for a few minutes, when the two bottles of liquid stopped bubbling and there was no lightning, it means that the two bottles of liquid had calmed down.

At this time, Genzō Chōkō began to take action.

He poured both bottles of liquid into a large beaker, then used a glass rod to stir continuously.

This step was to accelerate the rapid fusion of the two essence extraction liquids, while trying to volatilize the Soul Liquid, which acts as a catalyst and neutralizer. The final effect of the finished potion will be better.

When a faint layer of mist appeared at the mouth of the bottle, it means that the active factors of the two were fusing and gradually forming the active factors that Genzō Chōkō needed, which possessed both "heat" and "high spirit pressure".

This process did not last long, after ten or twenty seconds, the layer of mist at the mouth of the bottle would shrink back into the liquid inside.

Then, after a red spiritual light flashed, the original liquid turned into a gelatinous substance.

At this time, Genzō Chōkō took out a tray with many small, consistent-sized recesses, and then poured the gelatinous substance directly into the tray.

The purpose of this is obvious. This is to divide the almost-formed drug into several portions, and one portion can be taken each time it is used!

After the cooling and bottling were completed, Genzō Chōkō had obtained about one hundred potion gel pieces.

Looking at the potion gel pieces that shimmered in the sunlight, Genzō Chōkō named them "Thermal Pressure Tablets"!

Well... it can only be said that Genzō Chōkō is a naming waste!

When Genzō Chōkō walked out of the drug processing room, he saw Retsu Unohana sitting in the chair where Genzō Chōkō usually worked.

"All-around Recovery Potion... Soul Supplement... Universal Detox... Spirit Pressure Amplifier..."

Retsu Unohana looked at the potions placed there by Genzō Chōkō for easy access, her eyes lit up for a moment!

"With these potions, there will be less work in the division..."

This sentence from Retsu Unohana made Genzō Chōkō hesitant to speak for a moment.

Retsu Unohana's meaning was clear, she wanted Genzō Chōkō to add various potions to the 4th Division's regular treatment sequence.

But doing so would increase Genzō Chōkō's own workload, which was a burden for Genzō Chōkō who had been wanting to steal some leisure time to avoid work!

Therefore, Genzō Chōkō remained silent and did not say a word.

Retsu Unohana naturally understood Genzō Chōkō's meaning, but in order to reduce her own workload, she was naturally unwilling to give up.

Therefore, a strange atmosphere was spreading in the drug squad right now!

Until the arrival of Seinosuke Yamada, this strange atmosphere was broken.

"Captain! Recently, there are more and more patients in the division who are weak and powerless but cannot find the cause! Some members of the 8th Division who have been out on reconnaissance have also experienced this situation."

Hearing Seinosuke Yamada say this, Retsu Unohana also realized the seriousness of the problem.

"I know! I'll go take a look! Genzō-kun! You come with me too!"

As she spoke, Retsu Unohana also put away all the potions on the table. Before Genzō Chōkō could say anything, Retsu Unohana took Seinosuke Yamada and left the drug squad.

Genzō Chōkō shrugged helplessly, and then hurriedly followed!

Just as they arrived at the Third Infirmary, Lisa Yadomaru, the vice-captain of the 8th Division, said anxiously, "Captain Unohana! We need your help!"

Retsu Unohana nodded and said, "I understand."

"Aogiri-san, how is the situation?" Retsu Unohana turned to ask Aogiri Aobird, the third seat who was busy.

Aogiri Aobird said, "After preliminary investigation, the condition of the 8th Division members this time is basically consistent with the condition of the members in the First Infirmary and Second Infirmary. They are all weak and powerless, and there is no cause for the illness."

"I know! You've worked hard! Then I'll take a look myself!"

As she spoke, Retsu Unohana pulled up her sleeves, and then walked to the bed of one of the members and began to examine him.

"Body temperature is normal... Spirit Pressure fluctuates slightly, but within the normal fluctuation range... It seems that the soul is a bit weak, but it's extremely subtle... Is that the reason?"

Retsu Unohana also gradually frowned.
