"How could this be possible? We didn’t know anything before?"
The three of them exchanged glances, their faces filled with shock.
Activating thirty-six array patterns could indeed successfully form a flame array. After trying it, it was indeed the case, but the fact that they, as certified alchemists, were unaware of such a function was astonishing.
It was one thing to not know, as there was no such concept in the entire alchemy system of the Great Qi Nation, which could be somewhat excusable.
But now, it was actually pointed out by Qin Chen, a boy who wasn’t even an alchemy apprentice.
This made the three of them feel a burning sensation on their faces.
It's embarrassing that a boy who isn’t even an alchemy apprentice knows this principle, yet they, two certified alchemists, don’t. Cough cough, this is indeed somewhat humiliating.
With eighteen auxiliary array patterns, the effect of flame splitting is optimal. Don’t mention splitting the flames into three parts; even splitting them into five or nine parts can be done easily. Compared to activating all the array patterns, splitting the flames under these conditions can save the alchemist a significant amount of mental energy consumption."
As Qin Chen spoke, he continued to disperse the flames in his hand, splitting them from three into five, and from five into nine.
In the end, nine flames appeared like a pyramid, layers upon layers, floating above Qin Chen's palm, resembling a magnificent flame tower.
"Splitting into nine flames, could this be the legendary Nine Flame Tower Technique?"
Seeing this scene, Chen Mu and Ouyang Cheng were so excited that their bodies were trembling; they were practically going insane.
The legendary Nine Flame Tower Technique is the strongest foundational method in flame manipulation. Under such conditions, the alchemical flames can easily adjust the temperature, burn specific parts of the alchemical furnace, and enhance the quality of the elixir, yielding astonishing results.
However, this technique has always been regarded as a legend. Even the strongest pavilion master in the entire Alchemy Pavilion of the Great Qi Nation couldn’t perform it.
Who would have thought to see this technique in a boy?
"That's right, what I'm demonstrating now is the Flame Tower Technique. You can control the activation of the auxiliary array patterns to the extent of eighteen, and if you try it again, there’s a certain probability you can achieve it." Qin Chen smiled.
"We can do it too?"
The three of them exchanged glances, holding their breath with eyes shining brightly.
Immediately—
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The flames in Liu Guang and the others' hands were simultaneously split into nine parts.
They actually succeeded in splitting the flames!
Chen Mu and Ouyang Cheng inhaled sharply, almost not believing their eyes.
When activating all the array patterns, the most flames they could split was around seven, yet now they effortlessly split them into nine.
Moreover, just as Qin Chen said, after splitting into nine flames, their current mental energy consumption was even less than when they usually split six flames.
Holding their breath, the three slowly shaped these nine flames into a tower form.
At that moment, they only felt one thing: it was effortless.
It was much easier than when all the gathering fire array patterns were activated.
Even so, the Nine Flame Tower Technique was still too exquisite. During the final step of forming it, both Chen Mu and Ouyang Cheng failed with a "poof," leaving only Liu Guang to succeed in the end.
The nine flames flickered in his hand, forming a tower shape.
Although it wasn’t as stable as the flames in Qin Chen’s hand, it could barely be considered formed.
"I succeeded! I actually managed to execute the Nine Flame Tower Technique!"
A sense of effortless control over the flames emerged in Liu Guang's mind, and he was so excited that he couldn’t help but let out a howl towards the sky.
Once the legendary technique was performed by himself, that kind of excitement was truly inexpressible.
