"White Rhinoceros' blood, White Rhinoceros' horn, Crimson Cloud Grass, Snowdrop Bush…"
After getting on the stage, Gu Ding prepared all the materials he needed.
Everyone looked at the raw refining materials he had chosen. The on-site pharmacologists all felt a little confused. The materials needed for refining the White Rhinoceros Enhancer were basically known to every pharmacologist, and there was no White Rhinoceros' horn or Snowdrop Bush included in the list. After all of Gu Ding's medicinal materials had been laid out, everyone also realized that he was missing Cold Fragrance Flowers amongst his medicinal materials.
Cold Fragrance Flowers and Snowdrop Bushes belonged to the same group of medicinal materials as both were used as catalysts. However, the Snowdrop Bush's catalytic strength was ten times stronger than that of Cold Fragrance Flower. Generally, the harder the medicine was to refine, the less the likelihood of using Snowdrop Bush. Due the higher the catalytic strength, the refining process of the medicine would be harder to control.
After comparing the two medicinal materials, Gu Ding easily determined that the White Rhinoceros' horn in his prescription existed as a medicinal blending agent.
Sa Ze did not underestimate his opponent, even though the other party seemed to be younger than himself. Upon seeing the raw refining materials the other party had selected, he did not show contempt. Instead, he stared at the two raw materials that his opponent had added, as though he were thinking about something.
The extraction of gene medicine was much more troublesome than the extraction process of other medicines because it involved the process of separation and extraction of the gene chains. Moreover, this process needed to be conducted via a microscopic instrument.
Gu Ding, who was standing next to the microscopic instrument, took a moment to get used to it. When they saw Gu Ding's jerky movements when debugging the instrument, many pharmacologists on the scene felt like laughing. From first glance, they knew that Gu Ding had never been exposed to microscopic instruments before. Their guess was spot on. It was indeed true that this was Gu Ding's first time seeing a real microscopic instrument. As a former combat student at the Federal Basic Military Academy, he had only been exposed to knowledge on combat ever since he first enlisted in the academy. He had only entered the dispensary once to refine medicine, and even then, he had never touched most of the equipment.
After a few minutes of debugging, Gu Ding dropped a drop of White Rhinoceros's blood onto the microscope slide. About five minutes later, he found the gene chain that needed to be separated.
His efficiency made many pharmacologists frown. They probably guessed that it was Gu Ding's first time refining the White Rhinoceros Enhancer, otherwise it would not have taken him so much time. Anyone who had refined a White Rhinoceros Enhancer before could easily find the location of the gene chain that was to be separated within 30 seconds.
Although Gu Ding's refining speed was very slow, Sa Ze did not underestimate him. He also quickly realized that it should be Gu Ding's first time refining the White Rhinoceros Enhancer. As he looked on at Gu Ding, who was not panicking while operating at a slow but steady pace, he instinctively felt that there was a good chance that Gu Ding would succeed in his refinement. He was also looking forward to seeing the quality of the medicine Gu Ding would refine.
After finding the corresponding gene chain, Gu Ding began the isolation process. He dyed the gene chain with the gene dye, then dripped the gene isolation solution onto it. After it came into contact with the gene separation solution, the linked genes separated.
Since the gene chain had been dyed, Gu Ding could easily find the gene chain that he had previously marked with colour. Thus, the subsequent extraction work was relatively simple. The gene chain was picked and then placed on another slide. Then, it was washed with a cleaning solution. After that, the residue of the separation solution was completely removed.
Gu Ding was finally done with the first part. He handled the whole process very carefully, taking him 15 minutes in total. By now, a normal skilled genetic pharmacologist could have fully refined the White Rhinoceros Enhancer.
However, a lot of the pharmacologist had a changed their opinions of Gu Ding as the separation had been successful, despite the fact that he was someone who was using a microscopic instrument for the first time. Due to the operation under a microscopic instrument being ten times more difficult than an ordinary operation, most people would be unsuccessful during their first attempt of using one. In addition to this, even pharmacologists with better prowess usually took three or four attempts to succeed. Therefore, although Gu Ding's speed was lacking, the successful refinement was undisputable. By succeeding in his first ever operation of the microscopic instrument, he could well be referred to as a genius.
Finally, Gu Ding, who had just completed the first phase of the operation, was relieved. He was genuinely not very familiar with regards to the usage of the microscopic instrument, and he had moved slowly because he was afraid of making mistakes. However, the most difficult stage had been completed, and he now began the subsequent refining process.
After all the other raw materials were extracted, he took out 11 distillation bottles, poured the eleven kinds of materials into their respective distillation bottles, and started the ignition distillation.
Everyone was completely shocked when they saw the scene—even Sa Ze widened his eyes when he saw what was happening. He himself could only control the simultaneous operation of up to four distillation flasks at most, mainly because the distillation rate of many medicines was similar. If it was distilled at the same time, it might be difficult to simultaneously take care of all the distillation flasks.
However, after a minute or two, Gu Ding removed all eleven of the distillation flasks that had been distilled. His movements were incredibly skilful, as if he was moving in one fluid motion. The accuracy of his judgments was also frighteningly good, causing Sa Ze to leave his mouth agape. He was totally stunned as this was his first time seeing a F-level pharmacologist who possessed better control than himself. To make matters worse, this person was still a teenager who was even younger than himself.
Gu Ding soon entered the next stage of operation, comparison.
Because Gu Ding's raw medicinal materials was different from those commonly known to be used for White Rhinoceros Enhancer, everyone wanted to know what his raw material ratio would be. The difference in raw materials had caused the proportion of raw materials as well as the order in which they were to be added to be a total mystery.
Everyone who had initially scoffed at Gu Ding began looking forward to the results after watching his astonishing performance during the distillation process. Their hearts were filled with anticipation as they became desperate to know the quality of the medicine Gu Ding would refine.
Despite this, at this time, Gu Ding was not thinking about anyone else. He had completely entered the state of self-oblivion, and the only thoughts in his head were of the medicinal materials before him.
The order of his ratio was soon revealed. The first thing to add was the powdered crystals of the White Rhinoceros' horn. The subsequent order and ratio of various other pharmaceuticals materials were mostly the same as normal pharmacologists.
However, there was a step that caught everyone off guard. Before adding the white rhinoceros gene chain, Gu Ding put in the Snowdrop Bush as a catalyst.
Based on common sense, the catalyst was to be put in after all other raw materials were mixed and have reached a certain level of fusion stability. Putting the catalyst first would cause the fusion stability of the medicinal materials that were added later to be insufficient. With this, the chances of successful refining would be significantly reduced.
What was even more unexpected was that Gu Ding then took the fusion flask and used the fusion method to directly accelerate the fusion of the medicine.
"Did he forget that the White Rhinoceros gene chain had not yet been added?" An E-level pharmacologist asked a D-level pharmacologist with a little uncertainty.
"That shouldn't be the case..." The D-level pharmacologist also seemed a little uncertain.
Sa Ze stared at the changes in the fusion flask Gu Ding was holding. He did not know whether Gu Ding had forgotten to put the gene chain, but still, he got the feeling that Gu Ding was doing this intentionally.
Unexpectedly, after thirty seconds, the colour of the medicine in the fusion flash begun to change. The event dazzled everyone. The medicinal chain that was the main material had not even been put in, yet, the medicine had been successfully refined?!
After this, Gu Ding quickly put the gene chain into the fusion flask.
The colour in the fusion flask changed again, from the original pale yellow to a milky white...
"It's perfect quality!" Sa Ze was shocked. The many pharmacologists watching were equally stupefied...
