Chapter 121: Down To A Science Pt.2
Lake didn't really understand what was happening, but since Nancom had warned him it probably meant this was an important moment, and he needed to help in some way. Lake didn't see a way to slow down the reaction with it already having everything bonded together, so he went for the other move of increasing the pressure to make sure the reaction stayed stable.
Lake wasn't sure how other alchemists would handle this situation, so he kept his eyes on what Nancom was doing to see how someone would usually keep this kind of reaction stable. The only problem was Nancom wasn't really doing anything other than barely stirring the stick around which wasn't doing anything as far as he could tell.
Lake was sure he wouldn't be doing it at all if there wasn't a point though which probably meant he was just staying ready to intervene if he thought the reaction was getting out of control. This probably meant Lake had seen what normal alchemists did to control this kind of reaction the last few times he had watched Nancom make the poison.
All he had done was a few different stirring techniques and thinking back, Lake remembered Nancom cutting through the dirt and straight lines a lot during this part. Lake thought maybe this had broken up the reaction into smaller and smaller pieces as he broke the dirt up, and this somehow slowed it down.
Lake thought this was probably true and he would try splitting the reaction if it seemed like the pressure technique wasn't going to work. He had confidence that he could just keep doing what he was doing though because it seemed to be working. If the reaction was already at its strongest point he would have no problems keeping it steady till whatever it was doing was over. The source of this content is N0veII_bIn
After a while the reaction started to fade and Nancom said. "That was about five minutes faster than when I have to break it up during the reaction. Ok I'm about to add some more ingredients. These are regular plant ingredients that give the potion some desired effects, so the reaction shouldn't be very strong."
Everything else they had added had bonded with the seed powder so everything other than the to plant powders were bonded like that, so the two plant powders had stuck out in his mind and now that he saw the Nisysis plants growing he thought they could now have what it took at level forty to bond everything together.
"That's right, but the original recipe has a lot more plant ingredients, and the Nisysis plants grow to a higher level so there isn't much to that step at the moment." Lake nodded and then asked one of his prepared questions. "Is the poisonous energy that forms between the Monster parts and the Seed powder the Plants Life energy?"
"That's not quite right, it isn't forming, just changing slightly and growing in power as it absorbs the elemental mana from the other ingredients." Lake nodded and asked a follow up. "Why is it different with the troll blood?" The troll blood was also a monster part he was sure had elemental mana in it, so why didn't an earth flower show up?
"Nisysis reacts differently with the earth element. I'm sure you have observed how the troll blood starts to turn from a dirt color to a green color. Well that's the Nisysis making the environment more suitable for it by making the earth poisonous just how it likes it." Lake couldn't help but wonder why it took Nancom so much time to make the Nine elements acid when it seemed the Nisysis did everything on its own.
It was almost like the plant was the alchemist not Nancom but he needed to keep in mind this was an incomplete version they were making now and the original was probably much more complicated. This question had also answered his question about the secondary reaction so he stopped talking because the amount of acid being sent towards the glass was starting to die down meaning the plants had started to melt themselves.
A little over a minute later Nancom lifted the glass dome off and said. "We saved 15 minutes total. Let's do it again." Lake was a little caught off guard with how fast Nancom wanted to go again and asked. "Is there a goal, or are you just going to do it as many times as possible before we're attacked?"
"I've been doing ten a day, and I'll stop when I'm told to." Lake wanted to know how many of the ten they had done so far, but decided knowing wouldn't change anything, so it wasn't worth potentially annoying Nancom by asking. It would give Nancom the impression he didn't want to work hard for the guild.
It wasn't a good look if he wanted to stay in the Master Lab for an extended amount of time, so he just got to work to seem diligent. "Would you be alright with me making the Catalyst in the big vat? I won't fail and it will save us a bit of time." Nancom nodded so Lake did just that.
With him knowing exactly what he needed to do he just put himself into autopilot. It wouldn't be long, especially if he was able to make the process even faster this time around.
