"I heard from An Qian that you’ve studied alchemy before," Nasir said, "But your race’s alchemy learning system might differ from ours. So let me first get a general idea of your level in alchemy."
As he spoke, Nasir reached out and lightly tapped the air, drawing an alchemy magic array directly in midair.
Fang Heng’s heart stirred.
Impressive.
Void alchemy.
Nasir began to demonstrate directly in front of Fang Heng.
"Alchemy follows a structured progression—starting from basic material conversion and organic synthesis... progressing to elemental fusion, minor law alterations, and even constant reconstruction of the laws themselves in the late stages."
"What stage are you at?"
Fang Heng followed Nasir’s line of thought and lowered his head in thought.
He could now control almost all types of magic arrays.
This was thanks to the support of his strong mental strength and the auxiliary effects of the omniscient eye.
"I believe I’m currently at the stage of elemental guidance," Fang Heng said as he extended his hand and quickly traced the outline of a magic array on the ground in front of him.
"Burn!"
With a light shout, a flame suddenly burst from the magic array.
"Very good. Quite proficient, and your mental control is strong," Nasir nodded in praise after seeing Fang Heng’s demonstration. "Judging by what I’ve seen, your level has already reached grandmaster."
Grandmaster level!
No need for remedial lessons!
Fang Heng felt a wave of relief, and his mood instantly improved.
"The next step is elemental fusion and decomposition, which requires meticulous, micro-level control."
Nasir didn’t notice anything unusual in Fang Heng’s expression and continued calmly, "Alchemy is not known for strong combat performance, so it’s often used to support cultivation in other disciplines, like elemental science. Have you studied that?"
"A bit."
"Good. If you have elemental sensitivity, it’ll be much easier. Watch carefully—condense elemental power, then use alchemical methods to split two different elemental powers. This requires extremely fine, sustained control of the alchemy magic array."
As he spoke, Nasir slowly extended his hand forward.
Fang Heng’s pupils suddenly contracted.
What?
He saw that each of Nasir’s five fingertips emitted a different elemental fluctuation.
Incredible.
Fang Heng was currently at the grandmaster level in elemental science. His elemental skill effects were powerful, but he knew very well that this was due to his strong mental strength.
At the very least, he absolutely couldn’t do what Nasir just did—manipulating five elemental abilities at a micro level simultaneously in one hand.
And it wasn’t over yet.
Nasir slowly closed his palm, and the five elemental energies gathered at his fingertips, fusing into one.
Whoosh!
Nasir suddenly lifted his index finger.
The five elements split apart again instantly, forming five elemental spheres that rapidly spun around his finger.
Nasir looked at Fang Heng with satisfaction, clearly pleased by the surprise on his face, and asked, "What do you think? Not bad, right? It took me several years to master that."
Fang Heng nodded sincerely and said, "Very impressive."
It was clear that Nasir had deep attainments not just in alchemy, but also in elemental science.
"Haha."
Nasir laughed heartily, then waved his hand to extinguish the five elemental energies. "Now I’ll teach you how to control elemental energy at the micro level. Once you complete this cultivation, you’ll gain deeper insights not only in alchemy but also in elemental science. Two birds with one stone."
Fang Heng couldn’t wait and nodded, "Alright."
"Training micro-level control isn’t difficult. I’ll teach you a few related magic arrays. All you need to do is gradually complete them. Through this, you’ll slowly and subconsciously improve your control."
"In the end, it’s just a matter of time and effort."
"I’ll demonstrate, watch carefully."
At Nasir’s level, he no longer needed alchemy materials to set up magic arrays. With just a flick of his fingers, he casually traced out magical trajectories on the ground.
"Got it."
Fang Heng focused on Nasir’s movements. His right eye reflected the magic array, recording it completely.
A total of twelve magic arrays.
All of them were large-scale arrays, and Nasir took over two hours to lay them out fully.
Fang Heng memorized every detail of the arrays and reviewed them in his mind.
Overall, the alchemy magic arrays were very difficult to construct.
"Got it?"
"Yes."
Fang Heng opened his eyes again, observing the energy flow in the magic array, and nodded lightly.
"These twelve magic arrays each correspond to different elemental flows, and each focuses on a different training point."
Nasir offered advice, "Don’t rush when setting up the arrays. We’re not after speed—what matters is careful observation and understanding the changes during the array construction. Learn to control elemental flow at a micro level."
"Come on, give it a try."
"Alright."
Fang Heng had been eager to try. He immediately raised his hand and began to trace the magic array on the ground, replicating Nasir’s design exactly.
He wasn’t focused on speed, but instead concentrated on sensing the flow of elemental mental strength.
Nasir watched Fang Heng’s movements and quietly praised him.
This kid had grasped the essence so quickly. His talent was extraordinary.
And the array was drawn flawlessly.
When Fang Heng finished constructing one large magic array, a line of game hints quickly appeared on his retina.
[Hint: The player has completed an elemental flow magic array. Elemental flow comprehension: Excellent. Current mission triggered: Alchemy Advancement (Transcendent).]
Mission name: Alchemy Advancement (Transcendent).
Mission description: Under the guidance of a mentor, break the shackles of alchemy and reach the transcendent level.
Mission requirement: Complete Tier 1 mastery of micro-level power control and fusion.
Mission progress: 0.3%
Mission reward: Alchemy-Transcendent Level
Not bad.
Fang Heng quickly skimmed through the game hint.
One attempt gave 0.3% progress—slightly easier than grinding the Occult hand seals earlier.
Once he returned, he could have the zombie clones grind with him, which would greatly boost the speed.
"Very good. I assume you already sensed the micro-level control while constructing that array. At this stage, there’s not much more I can teach. The rest is up to your cultivation. If you encounter difficulties, feel free to come discuss them with me."
Nasir stood up as he spoke.
Alchemy, like other disciplines, only relied on teaching to provide direction. Real progress came through one’s understanding, and the pace of advancement depended on perception.
Now it was a matter of time and effort to break through.
In Nasir’s view, it would take at least two to three years to push through this stage.
Take it slowly.
"Hm?"
Nasir didn’t hear a reply from Fang Heng. He looked up and saw that Fang Heng had already fully immersed himself again, starting another drawing of the alchemy magic array.
