I Can Program My Body?-Chapter 457: Potion Making (2)

Taking each material and herb, Nash began to analyze their runic structure.

Although not as accurate as reality, it was 99.99% there.

Memorizing how each runic command interacted with each other, Nash began the curing process.

From cutting, soaking, heating, to chemical and machine processing, Nash treated each batch of materials.

Curing the first batch, Nash checked each herb’s runic structure to see if it succeeded.

"No, this is not right..." Nash frowned.

Although he didn’t have a complete understanding of how each runic command worked and functioned, based on the pattern and structure, he could still deduce something.

Coupled with the information from his deduction, he quickly noticed that the curing process of most materials had failed.

"Again."

Setting aside the perfectly cured materials, Nash reset the others, starting another curing process.

After a few minutes, controlling the acceleration of time through the virtual simulation, Nash checked the results again.

"Most of them still failed." Nash sighed.

Made up of tens of thousands of materials, it was no wonder Nash had a high failure rate.

If not for having direct vision of each of their runic command structures and knowing how he failed, this process alone might take a few years.

Putting aside the successfully cured materials, Nash began another curing process.

This time, more proficient with the process, hundreds of materials were successfully cured.

"I’m getting the hang of it."

From how each solution interacted with the runic commands, how each physical alteration impacted the result, and some errors in the calibration of the equipment.

---

A few days later, after countless trials and errors, Nash finally cured all the materials to perfection.

"Huh~ It seems I underestimated the potion-making profession." Nash sighed.

From a novice, he directly challenged creating a rare tier 4 potion right off the bat.

If not for his massive computational power, the curing process might take him months just to succeed.

Fortunately, as he got the hang of it, Nash became more proficient in using his advantage.

Seeing through each runic command of the material, he could see what was wrong at a glance.

With a bit of adjustment and a few tries, he could succeed without any errors.

Even in reality, Nash estimated that after one or two tries, he could master the curing process without a hitch.

"Now comes the next step~."

Copying and saving all the cured materials, Nash went to the next step: synthesis.

In this step, he had to combine and melt each material until it turned into one unified liquid.

This process wasn’t just about putting materials into one pot, then expecting them to merge, but doing so sequentially through different temperatures, stirring, physical input, void frequency, and control of each element.

"This should be quick..." Even though it was more complex than the curing process, there were fewer steps he had to follow.

Walking to the giant synthesis chamber, Nash began to melt each material one by one.

From molecular processes, biofusion, and then through a massive influx of unique void frequency, each material slowly came together.

However, as Nash added the 300th material, he suddenly noticed an error in the runic command structure of the liquid.

"Failure."

Even without seeing the result or change in the liquid’s consistency and color, Nash knew instantly that it was a failure.

Resetting the simulation, Nash tried again.

This time, at the 350th material, he noticed another failure.

"Again!"

Resetting again and again, refining the process, correcting the sequence and timing, Nash slowly went into a groove.

From 350th materials, 1,000th materials, 3,000th materials, 7,000th materials, 10,000th materials.

Slowly but surely, the process was advancing forward.

However, as it progressed, the process also got harder and harder.

Not only did he need to control each equipment precisely to the nanosecond, he even had to control each element to perfect timing, melting each material at the right time with the right force.

The only fortunate thing was that the recipe he had deduced only used the elements he had already mastered.

Otherwise, even with the formula, he couldn’t create the potion.

Soon, after another few days and countless failures, Nash melted all tens of thousands of materials into one unified liquid.

"Done! Just one last process!"

From curing, synthesis, to refining, Nash just needed to complete the last stage to finish the potion.

The refining process was basically vaporizing all unwanted molecules, leaving only the liquid that was needed.

This was also the most critical and most challenging part that determined the quality of the potion.

It relied on the maker’s instinct and judgment to purify the unnecessary parts while keeping the useful parts intact.

From a whole pool of liquid, if the maker wasn’t proficient, there might not even be a bottle left.

If they were unlucky, even the bottle of liquid left might contain impurities that would make the potion a failure.

However, for this part, Nash had full confidence.

While it was the most challenging part for others, it was the easiest part for him.

Looking at the full tank of liquid before him, Nash just needed to test the runic command structure of the part he needed while purifying the rest of the materials.

Taking a drop sample from each cluster of runic command structure, Nash began to test each of their effects.

Finding a drop that met his requirements, Nash quickly began the purifying process.

Mobilizing the power of elements, he began to burn all unwanted parts, careful not to affect the rest.

Slowly, from a full tank of liquid, it began to shrink from a tub to a bucket of liquid.

"This should be enough for a hundred and fifty bottles!" Nash smiled in delight.

Even some proficient potion-making alchemists who mastered a potion formula could only extract a few bottles of potion from a set of materials.

However, using his genetic ability to eliminate the waste, Nash could keep all the beneficial liquid intact!

"I wonder what the quality is."

Having erased all the waste, he thought it could reach at least top-level quality.

However, upon the evaluation of the virtual simulation, it was only of high quality.

"Why is that?"

Without any impurities, how could it be only high quality?

Holding back his excitement, Nash began to think about what was still missing.
