At this moment.
Xiao Ya felt as if thousands of ants were crawling in her heart, making her extremely uncomfortable.
"Don't overthink it, it's actually very simple."
Seeing Xiao Ya's incredulous expression, even losing her composure while continuing to refine the elixirs, Qin Chen snorted coldly.
"Very simple?"
Xiao Ya and Liu Guang almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
How could something they couldn't understand be described as simple by you!
"Is this still letting people live?"
Qin Chen ignored their thoughts and explained: "When the medicinal materials enter a violent state, it's caused by an excessive reaction during the fusion of various medicinal effects due to loss of balance. Once this reaction occurs, if not controlled in time, it will immediately lead to a chain reaction, causing the entire refining process to lose control."
"In this situation, what we need to do is not to reverse the entire process with spiritual power, but to guide it along the natural flow, using the properties of the medicinal materials themselves to bring them back to the path of fusion. This is much easier than forcibly reversing the refining process."
"Of course, to achieve this, there are two very important points. First, you must have an extremely thorough understanding of the properties of various medicines. Second, your control over spiritual power must be exquisite to the extreme. If you can do this, reversing the violent state won't be a difficult task."
"As for the previous temperature control, it's even simpler. Any refining array is composed of one hundred and eight basic array patterns, which include thirty-six main array patterns and seventy-two auxiliary array patterns. These basic arrays merge with each other to form a complete refining grand array. By manipulating the seventy-two auxiliary array patterns, you can adjust the flame temperature, size, and timing of any part of the array."
"Of course, to do this also requires a profound understanding of the gathering fire array, as well as exquisite control of the array, both are essential."
"After all, there are too many combinations formed by the seventy-two array patterns, and the effects of different combinations can vary dramatically."
"Although one of you is a third-grade alchemist and the other is a second-grade alchemist, and your spiritual power is strong enough, your control over spiritual power and true qi is too rough. You haven't thoroughly understood the essence of the principles of the array and the elixir refining process. Although in Da Qi, you are exceptionally talented, in the outside world, you wouldn't even count as a beginner."
"Alright, I've explained everything. Now, you both focus on refining. If there are any problems, I will explain them to you after the refining is done."
After saying all this, Qin Chen no longer paid attention to their reactions and immersed himself completely in the refining process.
Although his spiritual power had reached the peak of the first stage, he was refining three types of third-grade elixirs, and even with Xiao Ya's help, he didn't dare to be the slightest bit careless.
"So that's how it is?"
"No need to reverse the refining process, but just to guide it along the flow, using the reactions between the medicinal effects to dissolve it, this..."
"A gathering fire array can control the temperature of flames in the entire array differently. My heavens!"
"Is this the essence of being an alchemist?"
Xiao Ya and Liu Guang's pupils widened in shock and disbelief.
As high-ranking members of the Alchemy Pavilion in Da Qi, they thought their skills in alchemy were already very high.
But after hearing Qin Chen's words, they suddenly felt incredibly small.
Qin Chen's theories were like a beam of light shooting through endless darkness, instantly illuminating their path in alchemy.
A brand new door slowly opened before them.
Only then did they realize how crude their previous refining was, relying on powerful spiritual power to forcefully participate in the reactions of the medicinal materials. No wonder their success rate was so low, and even if they succeeded, the quality rate wasn't very high.
