Master Liu Guang had a strange expression on his face, and the corners of his mouth also twitched.
He was shocked when he saw Qin Chen's answers to the written test just now. Although he knew that Qin Chen might not be very strong in actual operations, he still had some expectations in his heart.
But who would have expected that Qin Chen's actual operation would be so bad.
The fire-gathering array is the most basic fire-based formation. The first thing for any alchemy apprentice to learn to refine medicine is to activate the fire-gathering array to form an array.
Unexpectedly, Qin Chen was unable to fully activate the Gathering Fire Formation, which immediately disappointed Master Liu Guang.
"Haha, Qin Chen, right? I advise you to just give up on the test. You can't even activate the Fire Gathering Formation. It's completely impossible to complete the test set by Master Liu Guang."
Shaking his head, Zhou Tao seemed to be persuading him with good intentions, but he was actually happy in his heart.
So what if I got a perfect score in the first round of assessment? Master Liu Guang was so optimistic about this kid just now. Hmph, Master Liu Guang must know who is the only genius today.
"Qin Chen, please step back. The flame formed by the half-activated fire gathering array cannot be divided into three flames at all, let alone... gah?"
Chen Mu seized the opportunity and stepped forward, shaking his head and saying. Halfway through his words, he suddenly choked in his throat. His eyes were so wide that they were about to fall off. He looked at Qin Chen in front of him as if he had seen a ghost.
.
"Pharmacist Chen Mu, what did you say?"
In front of him, he saw the weak flame in Qin Chen's hand, which had now been divided into three, burning quietly and very steadily.
"I...I said...ahem..."
Chen Mu was crying and didn't know what to say at the moment.
Let yourself be a bitch and insist on teasing me. This time, you will be slapped in the face.
Just now, the half-activated flame of the fire gathering array could not be divided into three flames. In the blink of an eye, the flame in Qin Chen's hand was separated.
The slap in the face was so hot and so cruel.
Could this kid be my nemesis?
"Cough cough cough!" Rolling his eyes, resisting the urge to find a place to dive in, Chen Mu coughed twice, "I mean, the fire formed by the half-activated fire gathering array is very...
It's so weak that even if it can be divided into three flames, it can't be superimposed into a ladder shape, so..."
Before he finished speaking, Qin Chen gently activated his mental power, and the three weak flames separated in his hands moved quickly, up and down, forming a perfect triangular trapezoid.
"I……"
His throat suddenly choked, and Chen Mu stared so hard that his eyes almost fell out and he was about to cry.
Brother, can you please stop playing with me like this?
My little heart can't stand it.
He just said that such a weak flame cannot be divided into three flames, and it split into three flames in the blink of an eye, and then said that it cannot form a ladder shape. Before he finished speaking, Qin Chen formed the flame into a ladder shape.
Chen Mu almost had the urge to crash to death here. He was really embarrassed.
"This is impossible. How did you do it? You must be cheating."
Next to him, Zhou Tao looked shocked and angry.
"The flame formed by the half-activated fire gathering array is very weak, and the amount of flame contained is only half of the normal amount. How could it be possible to achieve this?"
Zhou Tao looked left and right, wondering if Qin Chen had done something wrong somewhere.
This simply goes against common sense.
"Who told you that you can't achieve this step by activating only half of the flames formed by the fire gathering array?"
Qin Chen asked back.
"this……"
Zhou Tao is going crazy. Does anyone else need to tell him this? It's just the most basic common sense, okay?
"The fire-gathering array is only half activated, and the flame formed cannot be stable at all. Naturally, it cannot take shape, let alone split the flame or superimpose it. This is common sense that any alchemist knows."
Zhou Tao snorted angrily.
"What kind of common sense is this?" Qin Chen shook his head silently and said, "Then do you know how many formation patterns there are in the fire gathering array in front of us?"
"I'm not an array master, how do I know?"
There is so much knowledge that an alchemist needs to learn. He doesn't even have time to learn the knowledge of alchemy, so there is no time to learn any formations.
"You don't even know how many formation patterns there are in the Gathering Fire Formation, so how do you know that you can't do this with only half of the formation activated?"
Hearing Zhou Tao's words, Qin Chen was speechless: "Let me tell you, the fire-gathering array on the refining platform in front of us belongs to the first-level fire-gathering array, consisting of a total of 108 array patterns. There are
Thirty-six main formation patterns, and seventy-two secondary formation patterns."
"Among them, the main pattern controls the formation of the flame, and the secondary pattern controls the temperature and shape of the flame."
"In other words, when an alchemist is refining elixirs, he only needs to activate thirty-six main formation patterns to form a stable flame. At the same time, he can adjust the temperature and temperature of the flame according to the number of secondary formation patterns activated.
form to control.”
"In this way, the mental power of the alchemist is greatly liberated. When refining elixirs, an alchemist does not have to spend a lot of mental power on controlling the temperature and shape of the flame. He only needs to choose how many formation patterns to activate.
Already."
"The current fire-gathering formation in front of me has activated a total of thirty-six main formation patterns and eighteen secondary formation patterns. Under this situation, the fire formation is extremely stable and is very suitable for splitting flames. This is why I
The reason why only so many formations are activated."
"You don't even know this and yet you come to laugh at me? Don't you think it's a bit ridiculous?"
Qin Chen shook his head speechlessly, looking at Zhou Tao as if he was looking at a fool.
"It's nonsense. I, Zhou Tao, have been studying fire control for so long, and I have never heard of such a theory. The temperature and shape of the flame can be controlled by activating the number of array patterns. It's ridiculous. If this is really the case, then
What does an alchemist do to cultivate spiritual power?"
"Three masters, do you think Qin Chen is talking nonsense?" Zhou Tao said angrily.
Qin Chen was simply questioning the alchemist's truth all along. He did this just to cover up his cheating methods.
"this……"
Chen Mu and Ouyang Cheng looked at each other. To be honest, they had never heard of Qin Chen's theory.
Even Liu Guang looked suspicious.
Controlling the temperature and shape of the flame by activating the number of array patterns is... indeed a new concept.
There is no such record in any alchemy books they have studied.
"Isn't it nonsense? It's very simple. The three masters just need to try it themselves."
Too lazy to talk nonsense with this guy, Qin Chen said calmly.
At the same time, Qin Chen once again complained about Da Qi's alchemy system. Even the three-year-old child in the Wuyu Dan Pagoda knew something that the three official alchemists present did not know. They were too ignorant.
"good!"
Liu Guang and the other three looked at each other, and at the same time came to other refining tables and activated the fire gathering array above.
boom!
According to Qin Chen's theory, they first activated only the thirty-six main formation patterns on it.
A ball of flame appeared in front of the three people at the same time.
"It actually activated the flame, and it's... very stable."
This flame is very weak, darker in color, and less warm, but it has to be admitted that its structure is very stable, and it shows no sign of collapse even without mental control.
