Chapter 571 - 350: A New Discovery for Spiritual Vision: The "Phase State" of Extraordinary Materials
As Xu Qinghe spoke, she walked over and offered some guidance, drawing on her extensive theoretical knowledge.
The researcher with the red name tag thanked her profusely, and Xu Qinghe returned to her spot with a cheerful smile.
Lin Qi watched this unfold, a little stunned.
'Fundamentally,' he thought, 'these documents and formulas are just fixed routines. They're derived from the 'inspiration'-based ratios of veteran S-Class Pharmaceutical Researchers. Their purpose is to help other researchers push every Potion to a base of 150 or higher.'
'In other words, S-Class Pharmacy has almost no real core theory to support it.'
'Compared to Prosthetic Engineering, you can barely even call this science…'
Lin Qi had finally grasped the essence of S-Class Pharmacy.
Those so-called texts were mostly just practical guides left behind by the older generation, only useful for helping people get through the beginner phase quickly.
As for whether someone could ultimately become S-Class, that still depended on raw Talent.
But…
'Does the creation of an S-Class Potion really have to rely on inspiration?'
'The emergence of inspiration is, in essence, when the Spiritual Particles within a Potion reach a special state. It requires an S-Class Pharmaceutical Researcher to use their own senses to add a specific material that happens to strike a perfect balance.'
'Once this state is achieved, only an S-Class Pharmaceutical Researcher can perceive it, and even then, only at extremely close range. This is the core reason limiting the creation of S-Class Potions.'
'Though the relatively chaotic and unpredictable reactions between a large number of materials might also be part of the reason…'
Lin Qi was not just a Pharmaceutical Researcher; he was also an outstanding researcher in Prosthetic Engineering.
Lin Qi possessed a rigorous scientific and engineering mindset and was now attempting to re-examine Pharmacy from this perspective.
Before he knew it, Lin Qi was lost in his own thoughts, entering the state of Meditation unique to the "Researcher" profession.
Seeing that Lin Qi remained silent, Xu Qinghe had no choice but to follow Xu Zhengming's prior instructions and take on the responsibility of providing guidance herself.
Meanwhile, the veteran S-Class researchers sitting on the periphery began whispering among themselves.
"Nephew Qinghong, your Lin Family isn't just going to take the Credit Points and do nothing, are they?"
"That's right, Nephew Qinghong. Why hasn't he said a single word?"
"Sigh. Just as young Qinghe said when she was giving guidance earlier, it's very difficult for a Talented person with high inspiration to guide those with average talent. To them, it's as if Extraordinary Materials are completely different substances."
Although they were complaining, they knew in their hearts that Lin Qi was probably already doing his best; he just didn't know how to articulate his thoughts.
What they didn't know was that as Lin Qi sank into this state of Meditation exclusive to "Researchers," he was having an epiphany, making a revolutionary discovery in the Pharmacy Domain.
As his thoughts delved into the minute details, Lin Qi quietly activated his Spiritual Vision, carefully observing how the Extraordinary Materials changed in the other researchers' hands.
A new material was prepared and mixed into the Base Potion, causing the Spiritual Particles to transform.
'Why do the Spiritual Particles change in this specific way?'
'Is there information here that hasn't been perceived yet?'
'Is it a change in the physical sense?'
'Or is it a property of the Extraordinary Domain?'
In a moment of intense focus, Lin Qi activated the fourth Ability of a Tier Three Wizard, empowering his Spiritual Vision.
Instantly, Lin Qi successfully captured even more information.
Lin Qi saw a more "microscopic" perspective, but perhaps it wasn't microscopic at all—just a more fundamental level of existence…
'Spiritual Particles are not all the same. They have... colors, and arrangements…'
'Different Extraordinary Materials have different... 'Phase States.' The fusion of materials is, in essence, the fusion and alteration of these 'Phase States.''
'No, not an alteration, but a completion of the 'Phase State.' Each 'Phase State' is like an individual puzzle piece.'
'Perhaps the so-called inspiration of an S-Class Pharmaceutical Researcher is actually the perception of the puzzle's shape—an instinct to restore the puzzle piece to its original form.'
The creation of an S-Class Potion was, in essence, a puzzle game!
When the puzzle was relatively complete, inspiration would appear.
A complete S-Class Potion was a puzzle that had been painstakingly pieced together.
But this puzzle wasn't truly complete; it was merely a single piece of an incomparably larger one.
The completion of this one part created an S-Class Potion and gave birth to pure Will Power.
So, if the entire puzzle were to be completed, what would be born from it?
Could it be the legendary X-Class Potion?
At this thought, Lin Qi's mind returned to reality.
In that moment, Lin Qi seemed to know exactly how he should guide this group of rookie researchers.
'Perhaps I need to write a paper.'
'Perhaps I also need help from researchers in the fields of heavy industrial engineering and Extraordinary Items engineering to build a machine that can specifically detect a material's 'Phase State.''
'Perhaps when this research is published, I will completely overturn the Pharmacy Domain!'
'Once this discovery is made public, its influence will be terrifying. A company the size of United Pharmaceutical probably couldn't handle it.'
'But what if I change my approach? What if this research was presented as the collective result of all the researchers at Nanyun Pharmaceutical?'
'What if it had the endorsement of the Eastern Alliance?'
'I might be able to gain the support of the Eastern Alliance this way.'
'When that time comes, forget the Witch Hunt—even if I have a falling out with Guang Ling in the future, I'll have some leverage.'
Lin Qi had exited his "Researcher" state and was now thinking in terms of personal gains and losses.
'My blood ties to the Lin Family of Nanyun Pharmaceutical might play a significant role…'
Lin Qi's thoughts raced, and he quickly figured out his next steps.
He turned, walked over to the circular conference table, and found Xu Zhengming.
Lin Qi spoke up. "Brother Xu, I've suddenly had some new ideas regarding the S-Class Pharmacy domain, but I might need everyone's assistance."
"I have a feeling that if my idea can be realized, many of the researchers here today could be directly promoted to S-Class Researchers."
"However, this course of action carries certain risks. It might make both United Pharmaceutical and Nanyun Pharmaceutical the target of public condemnation."
Lin Qi's words left Xu Zhengming stunned and caused the other S-Class researchers to look at one another in disbelief.
Were his words true or false?
If they were true, wouldn't that mean Nanyun Pharmaceutical could completely dominate this breakout session?
The Asian Administrative Region might even secure a huge amount of Weight in the Pharmacy Domain because of this…
Compared to Lin Qi's true intentions, the imaginations of these S-Class researchers were still somewhat lacking.
The veteran S-Class researchers exchanged glances, and then Nan Jujun, the representative from the Nan Family, spoke. "In this conference, both United Pharmaceutical and Nanyun Pharmaceutical represent the Asian Administrative Region. The more Weight we can acquire, the better."
"Not to mention, Younger Brother Lin, you are the grandson of the esteemed Lin Changshou."
"If you have an idea, we will certainly support you with all our might. The Eastern Alliance will also be there to back you up completely."
"So what if we become a public target?"
"Even if a Tier Five Extraordinary wanted to make a move against us, they'd have to first consider whether they have what it takes."
Although Nanyun Pharmaceutical was just a large corporation and not an Intercontinental Giant Corporation, they spoke with absolute confidence.
One couldn't judge an Eastern Alliance corporation solely by its own size; those Intercontinental Giant Corporations with "Eastern" in their names were all standing behind them.
With this assurance, Lin Qi nodded and said, "I need to contact someone. Our S-Class researchers in Pharmacy alone can't handle this. We'll also need the help of capable researchers from the fields of heavy industrial engineering and Extraordinary Items engineering…"
Just as Nan Jujun was about to speak, Xu Qinghe came over and said to Lin Qi, "You mean, we need to ask Sister Liu for help?"
