Chapter 887: Elements and Alchemy Arrays

"Alright."

"I believe inside everyone's brains right now all have this concept of 'why'."

"Then we'll just talk about specifically why it is."

Seeing her question reached the result she wanted, Lan Qingyou imperceptibly nodded.

Subsequently she waved a hand.

'Tossing' the original purple Alchemy Array into the air.

In this process, the Alchemy Array was continuously expanding.

Ultimately enveloping the entire classroom inside.

"The patterns on the Alchemy Array are actually extremely simple, just triangles, circles, squares and connections of magic circuits that's all."

"Then first we'll talk about the most used triangle."

"Everyone all knows the triangle is a special existence in Symbology."

"When the sharp angle points up, that is precisely what is commonly known as 'upright position' in alchemy, it represents the 'Fire' element among the four great elements."

"Similarly the sharp angle points up, but adding a penetrating horizontal line in the middle can represent the 'Air' element."

"And when the sharp angle points down, that is precisely the 'inverted triangle' time, it represents the 'Water' element."

"Similarly the sharp angle points down penetrating a horizontal line in the middle just represents the 'Earth' element."

"This is exactly the composition of the four great elements between heaven and earth."

"And besides these, pretending some things on the circle can represent all kinds of mineral elements."

"For example having nothing represents 'Oxygen';"

"A dot in the middle represents 'Hydrogen';"

"A vertical line connecting up and down represents 'Nitrogen';"

"Adding a cross can represent 'Sulfur'."

"These are things in Glyphology and Symbology, but for alchemy they similarly also possess representativeness."

"So in alchemy, especially in brewing potions that you Alchemists come into contact with the most, several disciplines such as Symbology, Magic Array Studies, Glyphology are all unavoidable."

"Then we return to the question just now."

"Why exactly just simple few symbols, can let the potion quality rise?"

"Actually the answer is also very simple."

"That is exactly the essence of the basic Alchemy Array isn't emitting heat, but locking."

"Locking the medicinal effects within a certain range."

"Saying it a bit more popularly, that is locking all mana possessing 'elemental attributes' within the range of the Alchemy Array."

"The 'certain range' here basically specifically points to inside the Crucible."

Speaking up to here, Lan Qingyou clapped a hand.

Clapping everyone awake from astonishment.

Astonished was truly astonished.

Because they had never thought about, even hadn't researched this thing Alchemy Array.

After all just like what Lan Qingyou said, the symbol patterns of the basic Alchemy Array were indeed extremely simple.

Simple to the degree that three-year-old children could all draw them out.

In the eyes of Symbology experts and Magic Array Masters they all wouldn't take two more looks.

But at Lan Qingyou's side she actually felt out the characteristics clearly.

Originally...

The reason why using an Alchemy Array could let the medicinal effects elevate, was because of the relationship of locking the elemental mana inside the materials right?

Then...

"If it's non-attribute mana?"

When someone was pondering inadvertently asked out such a question.

After all although locking the elemental attribute mana is very formidable.

But don't forget.

Inside many materials also possesses the circumstance of non-attribute mana.

At this kind of time wouldn't it evaporate on the spot?

"Here we have to speak of the Crucible, the essence of this thing is precisely used to seal the passing of non-attribute mana."

"Otherwise why when brewing potions is it relying on the Alchemy Pedestal engraved with a basic Alchemy Array and the Crucible?"

"Speaking plainly."

"This in itself is precisely the combination of the optimal solution formed by Alchemist forerunners in groping time after time."

"That is to say actually today this theory I proposed to everyone isn't any novel theory."

"But is an ancient theory formed when alchemy appeared thousands or tens of thousands of years ago."

...

Ancient theory...

Don't say.

What alchemy originally pursued was exactly continuous innovation.

Like some old theories had long been abandoned early on by new arguments and practices.

But looking back.

It seemed like inside those ancient knowledge were all appearances of treasures.

Others, especially those students listening perhaps still hadn't that strong of a feeling.

But the people of the Alchemy Workshop and the Royal Apothecaries, even some senior related practitioners however understood the gold content of these words of Lan Qingyou.

"Maybe we have to establish an archaeological squad in the aspect of alchemy then it works."

"Specially responsible for excavating theories from thousands of years ago?"

"This is a necessary link."

"If even what appearance and what people we ourselves were previously is not known, then what qualifications are still there to talk about what present, talk about what future?"

"Not talking about this kind of grand narrative first, but it is indeed necessary to newly examine the previous ancient techniques a bit."

"Mmm... maybe can also newly obtain some inspirations."

Middle-aged old men whispered below.

One by one all shouting loudly in their hearts this class truly was come correctly.

Although afterwards one could also know what Lan Qingyou said in this class.

But yet there wasn't the shock brought by experiencing it personally.

"This Sir Lan Qingyou's angle is still as tricky and novel as always ah."

"Also couldn't be counted as novel right."

"Indeed, the other party herself all admitted it, it's just that tricky is truly tricky, didn't expect still could view problems from this kind of ancient angle."

"You speaking like this is really true, who could expect a matter of course instead became shackles binding oneself."

Someone shaking their head and swaying their brain sighed with emotion.

Actually the reason why it's like this, was completely because Lan Qingyou didn't have their 'preconceptions'.

The same as other transmigrators.

She groped it out alone from a blank slate.

So compared to the Alchemists of a thousand years ago she didn't have those rules and regulations.

Also wasn't poisoned by any ideology.

Only this let her be able to use a true sense of a 'beginner's' identity and viewpoint to learn, examine these academic things.

Of course.

Inside here besides Lan Qingyou herself.

The people of Tarot Manor inside also played a not small role.

After all staying together with these guys doing academics, Lan Qingyou also unavoidably had even more profound views towards some things.

Especially still under the circumstance that these guys were all Big Shots of different domains.

This was also the reason why the middle-aged old men viewed Lan Qingyou's course this heavily.

After all people as comprehensive as her the entire Empire only had Albert one person.

Coincidentally the other party offering classes was even more rare than Sir Lan Qingyou.

And very possibly chatted about some matters unrelated to alchemy.

So courses like Lan Qingyou's they must listen.

No...

It would be better to say like this kind of first-hand material as expected still listening on site would then be even more intuitive.

Thus these guys one by one all started discussing.

Right in the classroom.

Although it was all very soft-spoken.

But gathered together still would have chattering noise.

Listening making those original authentic students one by one frown endlessly.

But again hard to erupt.

After all they were all some important figures.

So they all looked with pleading gazes towards Lan Qingyou.
