Chapter 573 -351: The Essence of the Spiritual Particle Aggregation Effect (Part 2)
“My room is pretty big… Uh, no, I mean, there are extra rooms here. You can stay at my place for now.”
“With the Eastern Alliance’s security, it’s also much safer here than where you are…”
Ever since meeting Liu Xingyuan, Lin Qi had begun to confront his feelings for Liu Xuan. And ever since then, he occasionally found himself tongue-tied when they spoke.
Lin Qi felt this was rather illogical. His intellect easily ranked in the top three in Red Fruit City, possibly even the top two…
Liu Xuan listened quietly until Lin Qi finished speaking. Then, almost without a second thought, she replied:
“I trust you.”
“I’ll arrive at the S-Class Pharmacy Society Mansion on time tomorrow morning.”
“But according to the Super Alliance’s pre-conference requirements, I need to check into the Remote Conference Mansion 24 hours before my session begins.”
Lin Qi was moved by Liu Xuan’s answer.
He wanted to say more, but Liu Xuan spoke first. “Since you have an experiment tomorrow morning, you should get some rest. Don’t be too exhausted. I’ll see you on time tomorrow.”
Her voice was so gentle that the corners of Lin Qi’s mouth curled up without him even realizing it.
“Okay.”
Lin Qi ended the call with Liu Xuan and sat dazedly in his chair for a while.
Then, he began to carefully map out the entire experimental procedure in his mind.
The core of the experiment was the machine that Liu Xuan needed to design and build.
Until now, all instruments in the Pharmacy Domain had only detected Extraordinary Materials, Extraordinary Items, and even Potions of various tiers through indirect means.
That is, they couldn’t directly detect the state of Spiritual Particles, only physical data of the material itself, such as hardness, temperature, and conductivity.
Theoretically, this data had no absolute correlation with the aggregation state of the Spiritual Particles.
But based on years of accumulated experience, Pharmaceutical Researchers had found some relatively reliable composite data among them.
They would layer dozens of detection methods, supplement them with a special function based on empiricism and aided by mathematical calculations, and thereby use various instruments to achieve their detection goals.
This indirect detection alone made the Potion preparation process much easier for Pharmaceutical Researchers.
They no longer had to exhaust their “inspiration” at every step, forcing their senses to make what amounted to gambling-like predictions about the next step in the process.
‘It might be very difficult, but I’m different from traditional Pharmaceutical Researchers. The data I get isn’t based on empiricism—I directly ‘see’ everything.’
‘Besides the aggregation state of Spiritual Particles, I also see their ‘Phase State.’ The data I obtain is far more extensive than that of an ordinary researcher.’
‘More importantly, I have a true genius of a researcher assisting me. Back then, Liu Xuan was able to develop a machine capable of whipping up a storm of Spiritual Power. After all these years, her expertise in the engineering of Extraordinary Items can only have grown stronger.’
‘I should trust Liu Xuan. She might actually be able to do it.’
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Qi began preparing for the experiment ahead of time.
Before asking Liu Xuan to design the instrument, Lin Qi himself had to gain a deeper understanding of his latest discovery: the “Phase State” of Spiritual Particles.
He had to at least define the requirements clearly to give Liu Xuan a better chance of success when designing the machine.
Lin Qi immediately activated his Spiritual Vision, using its enhanced state to carefully observe the Spiritual Particles.
This microscopic and fundamental level of observation required immense patience from Lin Qi.
This was also why it had taken him so long to discover the existence of the “Phase State,” even after gaining his “enhancement” Ability.
Right now, Lin Qi was observing the free-floating Spiritual Particles all around him.
Previously, from the perspective of his Spiritual Vision, all Spiritual Particles looked more or less the same.
Only Exotic Spiritual Particles, like those of Holy Light, had felt different to him.
But with his recent experience, all Spiritual Particles now displayed new characteristics in his eyes.
The “Phase State” was like a special identification code for each Spiritual Particle; different codes corresponded to Spiritual Particles of different fundamental natures.
‘Let’s call the free-floating particles ‘ordinary Spiritual Particles’ for now. If I continue with the puzzle piece analogy, then these ordinary Spiritual Particles are the most basic pieces. All their edges are concave grooves, allowing them to connect with almost any kind of Exotic Spiritual Particle.’
‘This is also the foundation of the Spiritual Particle aggregation effect. They connect with Exotic Spiritual Particles, and the points of contact between them become ‘bonds.’ They link together, increasing the number of Spiritual Particles within a given unit of space and triggering an even larger-scale aggregation…’
With this new perspective, Lin Qi made more and more discoveries, becoming increasingly engrossed in this state.

This newly enhanced version of his “Spiritual Vision” was like an “Eye of Omniscience,” constantly revealing the fundamental nature of Spiritual Particles to him.
Shifting his gaze from the free-floating particles, Lin Qi turned his attention to the Extraordinary Materials warehouse in the S-Class Pharmacy Society Mansion.
There was a veritable sea of Extraordinary Materials stored here.
And it wasn’t just Extraordinary Materials; there were also numerous Extraordinary Items!
There were a dozen or so Tier One, Tier Two, and even Tier Three Extraordinary Items.
Lin Qi even saw a Tier Four Extraordinary Item in the most secure, central part of the warehouse!
A strange glint flashed in Lin Qi’s eyes.
‘If I get the chance…’
If chaos were to break out in the S-Class Pharmacy Society Mansion, he might be able to snatch it for himself.
But Lin Qi quickly shook his head, driving the messy thought from his mind.
‘Best not to have any unexpected incidents!’
‘Safety first!’
‘A Tier Four Extraordinary Item isn’t that big of a deal, anyway…’
After all, Lin Qi already had more than one Tier Four Extraordinary Item in his possession.
One came from the Capitalist, and the other from the Doomsday World.
As part of Lin Qi’s prior arrangements, Wang Qiang had gone to various locations within the Doomsday World’s Dragon Country to help hunt down Tier Four Monsters.
He had already successfully slain a Tier Four Monster, obtained its Extraordinary Crystal Stone, and brought it back to the Mo University Camp. This became the second Tier Four Extraordinary Item in Lin Qi’s reserves.
After returning to the Mo University Camp, Wang Qiang rested for only a single day.
Lin Qi used Rapid Growth to heal his injuries and serviced his Prosthetic Body, and then Wang Qiang immediately set off on a new mission.
In Wang Qiang’s own words, the Dragon Country needed him!
And Lin Qi needed his help collecting Extraordinary Items!
For the future of civilization, he could not rest, nor did he deserve to!
With great power comes great responsibility—this was Wang Qiang’s personal conviction.
Lin Qi was quite satisfied with this and hoped Wang Qiang would maintain this level of drive, as it would help him acquire even more Extraordinary Items.
Lin Qi pulled his gaze away from the Tier Four Extraordinary Item, deliberately blocking that area from his perception.
The reason was simple: besides the Tier Four Extraordinary Item in the heart of the warehouse, there was also a Tier Four Extraordinary guarding it. He was likely protecting not only the Extraordinary Items but also the group of researchers at the S-Class Pharmaceutical Society.
Lin Qi didn’t want his gaze to alert the guard; who knew if the man possessed some kind of detection Ability.
Lin Qi refocused on the other Extraordinary Materials, carefully observing the Spiritual Particles surrounding them.
‘My earlier theory was correct. The Spiritual Particles here have interlocked. ‘Bonds’ have formed between the Exotic Spiritual Particles and ordinary ones, increasing the mass of the particles in this area and thus triggering the aggregation effect.’
‘This means the Spiritual Particle aggregation effect I observed is essentially a result of more Exotic Spiritual Particles interlocking. They form composite Spiritual Particles with a greater mass per unit, which in turn enhances the aggregation effect.’
‘At the same time, the source of the Exotic Spiritual Particles is… the Extraordinary Material itself. The material is slowly emitting Spiritual Particles, which is probably why Extraordinary Materials can ‘expire.”
Lin Qi’s gaze grew deeper, his mind more active than ever.
