Chapter 476 - 303: The Blood Moon Will Appears
This was why Lin Qi was willing to let Wang Ziru handle things. The man wasn’t just perceptive; he was also meticulous in his work.
It was a shame for someone like him to be in the Doomsday World. In the Cyber World, he would have undoubtedly thrived in a corporation, like a fish in water, and become a high-level executive.
"You’ve been thoughtful," Lin Qi praised. He had Wang Ziru place the Extraordinary Materials in the lab, then shut the main Door.
Now, it was time for the real business of the day: concocting an S-Class Potion!
After briefly reviewing the literature in his mind, Lin Qi began to select the materials.
’These Extraordinary Materials from the Doomsday World aren’t like the ones in the Cyber World, where all their properties have already been tested by our predecessors.’
’This time, my creation of the S-Class Potion will still rely primarily on direct observation with my Spiritual Vision.’
’Coupled with my prior experience in Potion-making, it won’t be difficult to control the basic direction of the S-Class Potion’s effects. After all, I have extensive experience making body-enhancement Potions.’
’What’s more...’
’The enhancement effect of an S-Class Potion is just a bonus. If we’re only talking about enhancement, my overpowered A-Class Potions are a perfect substitute.’
’The true value of an S-Class Potion lies in its ability to strengthen Willpower. For a Tier Four Extraordinary, this is the most direct upgrade. It can also guide a Tier Three Extraordinary in breaking through to Tier Four.’
Reviewing the knowledge in his mind, Lin Qi understood deeply that generating Willpower was the key to creating an S-Class Potion. It was also the most crucial Ability for an S-Class Pharmaceutical Researcher.
This required Talent, not an Ability that could be learned.
Lin Qi did a quick cleanup of the equipment and instruments on his workbench, then, without a moment’s hesitation, began the process.
First was the pre-treatment of the various materials.
Spiritual Vision was of no use in this stage; it relied entirely on the fundamentals of Pharmacy.
He processed each category of material using different methods, preparing at least four distinct preliminary versions for each one.
The methods included, but were not limited to, scorching, distillation, and centrifugation.
Knowing which pre-treatment method to use for a specific material was a matter of a Pharmaceutical Researcher’s experience.
Once the materials were pre-treated, the next step was the concoction phase.
From the perspective of a low-Level Pharmaceutical Researcher, this stage was akin to endless trial and error—a brute-force process, in other words.
High-Level Pharmaceutical Researchers, however, had their own understanding of the materials. They could anticipate the reactions that would occur when different pre-treated materials were combined.
This allowed them to use dozens, even hundreds, of materials in a Potion’s concoction, enabling the sample to acquire an increasingly strong Spiritual Particle adhesion effect throughout the process.
Of course, that was from Lin Qi’s perspective.
Other Pharmaceutical Researchers couldn’t see Spiritual Particles. They could only use precision instruments to conduct real-time analysis on the Potion, indirectly gleaning its current state.
For Lin Qi, this process was simple. All he had to do was "look."
Thanks to his Spiritual Vision, Lin Qi’s Potion-making process was virtually flawless.
Even with hundreds, or even several hundred, materials involved in the reaction, Lin Qi could still clearly "see" the outcome.
’The information in the S-Class Pharmacy Literature is quite significant to me. When processing many materials, a stronger Spiritual Particle adhesion effect isn’t always better.’
’Sometimes, after mixing multiple materials, the Spiritual Particle adhesion effect appears to weaken or even vanish completely. But if you then mix it with another material and reprocess it, the effect becomes even stronger.’
’These are the results of my predecessors’ explorations. If I had to rely solely on "looking" at each one myself, it would probably take me years to figure out these basic reaction chains.’
Though the types of Extraordinary Materials in the two worlds were different, many shared similar properties. After some simple tests, Lin Qi could apply existing formulas to get the ratios right, saving him a great deal of trouble.
He continuously added materials and performed new processing steps on the solution.
The process was mechanical, complex, and even repetitive.
But Lin Qi’s movements were swift. In less than two hours, he had already incorporated over a hundred materials.
With this many types of materials involved, the most critical moment in the creation of an S-Class Potion could arrive at any time.
Once the variety of materials surpassed the limit an ordinary Pharmaceutical Researcher could handle, the process entered the exclusive domain of an S-Class Pharmaceutical Researcher.
He continued adding materials, waiting for the so-called ’Spiritual Light’ to appear.
This Spiritual Light came from an instinctive perception of the reactions, a keen capture of the exact moment when the Extraordinary Materials collided to spark ’Willpower’.
To use lifeless materials to spark ’Willpower,’ something exclusive to living beings—it was a miracle akin to creating life itself.
Lin Qi wasn’t the least bit anxious. The conditions in the Doomsday World were crude, and he lacked the means to replicate the special environments mentioned in the S-Class Pharmacy Literature.
The S-Class Pharmaceutical Researchers of the Cyber World had compiled numerous methods to increase the chances of ’Spiritual Light’ appearing, but unfortunately, they were difficult to replicate in the Doomsday World.
Besides, Lin Qi didn’t think he needed them!
’I have my Spiritual Vision, after all. If it doesn’t appear after one hundred materials, I’ll just add another hundred!’
’The more types of materials, the higher the probability of ’Spiritual Light’ appearing!’
Unlimited, risk-free trial and error—this was the key to why Lin Qi dared to attempt making an S-Class Potion after only a few days of studying the S-Class Pharmacy Literature.
’This Spiritual Light... what is it, exactly?’
’It’s a bit of a shame. I vaguely remember a similar feeling during the Alliance City summit, but I didn’t understand it back then. Otherwise, I might have created an S-Class Potion right there at the summit.’
