Chapter 4863: Where the problem lies

Translator: 549690339

Right, if theres a comparison, it should be more intuitive! Lin Yi smacked his head. He also wanted to make the pill himself, and all the materials were already prepared. He started making it without hesitation.

After the Shennong medicine cauldron had been upgraded the last time, it was already well-suited to refining a tier 7 medicinal pill. In particular, the difficulty of refining this essence cultivating pill among tier 7 medicinal pills was not considered high, so it was not a problem.

Four hours later, the essence cultivating pills were fresh out of the furnace. Lin Yi thought that it would be good enough if he could get five of them. After all, the essence cultivating golden devil gra.s.s was only enough for five portions. This was his first time making essence cultivating pills, and it would be perfect if the pills could be formed successfully.

However, the final result almost made Lin Yis jaw drop. There were ten more essence cultivating pills in Shennongs medicine cauldron, ten whole pills, all high quality!

This wasnt just a 100% success rate, it was 200%!

Luckily, it was only Lin Yi himself-if Qing Danzi were there to witness it, his eyes wouldve fallen out of their sockets, and his outlook on life wouldve been turned upside down.

But Lin Yi was already used to this kind of surprise, and he quickly recovered from the shock. With the existence of the divine farmers medicine cauldron, along with the essence-cultivating golden devil gra.s.s and the other high quality ingredients, and some good luck, it was unexpected that the production exceeded the limit, but it was still within reason.

After putting away the ten energy cultivating pills, Lin Yis attention quickly returned to the tablet. This little surprise wasnt enough for him to throw Qing Danzi to the back of his mind.

Lin Yi couldnt help but frown when he compared the results of the pill with Qing Danzi s. They came from the same software, but the curves and parameters were completely different. There wasnt a single similarity.

Could it be because of the different pills? One is the great cyclic pellet and the other is the cultivating origin pellet. The twos refining process is very different. Its a bit difficult to find the root of the problem through this comparison. Lin Yi pondered for a while and decided not to think about it anymore. If he wanted a more direct and reliable comparison, he could just make a recover pill himself.

When the a.n.a.lysis results of Lin Yis own pills came out and were compared to Qing Danzi s, it was clear!

They were both refining a seventh grade great recovery pill, but the curves between the two were roughly the same. This was expected, but there were still many differences. The most obvious one was the pill refining curve. One was smooth and perfect, while the other was full of ups and downs.

However, this didnt explain the problem. Lin Yi had the Shennong medicine cauldron, a G.o.dly tool for refining elixirs. Other than the Qi transfer, everything else was controlled by the computer, so the curve of the refining process was naturally perfect. On the other hand, Qing Danzis was completely controlled by himself. No matter how experienced he was, it couldnt be as perfect as a computers control. This wasnt something that could be forced.

Is this the reason why Qing Danzi always fails? Lin Yi said as he pinched his chin, but quickly dismissed his thoughts.I dont think so. Although there are many seventh grade alchemists who have the problem of Qing Danzi, not all of them have the same problem. If its because of this, then its the limit that all alchemists cant overcome.

Indeed, the human brain wasnt a computer. A computer could perfectly control the curves of a pill, but those who relied on experience couldnt do it, even the legendary Mystic cla.s.s.

Lin Yi stared at the two curves and the parameters, comparing them again. After half an hour, he finally noticed something. Other than the smoothness of the curves, there was a slight difference. If one didnt compare it carefully, even Lin Yi wouldnt notice it.

The difference was that Lin Yis own curves were formed from the start to the end with no gaps in the middle, but Qing Danzis was different. At first glance, it looked like a continuous curve, but if you looked at it ten times, youd find that there would be a gap every time the temperature changed.

The gaps were extremely small, so small that they could be ignored, but they did exist, and they would appear without exception every time the heat was changed.

This situation wasnt hard to understand, because Qing Danzi didnt have the Shennong medicine cauldron like Lin Yi. He had to personally control everything during the entire process, and every change in the temperature involved a series of follow-up adjustments. One wrong step, one wrong step, and so there would be a slight pause subconsciously.

Following this theory, Lin Yi compared the parameters again. As expected, the difference between his and Qing Danzis parameters always appeared after these pauses, sometimes going up and down. The range was subtle, but it did exist.

Strictly speaking, this small difference in itself did not necessarily lead to the failure of the alchemy, because the fluctuation of these parameters was likely to offset each other, so there was still a high chance of successfully forming the pill in the end.

However, if one was unlucky and these subtle differences did not cancel each other out, but continued to stack up or down, it would really be out of line at a certain point.

Without a doubt, this was the root of Qing Danzis problem. He had already mastered enough alchemy skills, but because of this small habit, he left the final result of the pill formation to luck. As long as his luck wasnt too bad, there wouldnt be a problem. But if his luck wasnt good, then all his efforts would be in vain.

Lin Yi immediately went to the green elixir Pavillion and spoke to Qing Danzi,I think I know what your problem is.

Really? Master, quickly tell me! Qing Danzi was both surprised and happy.

Before, I noticed that you had a bad little trick when you were refining pills. This is something that you probably didnt notice yourself, and that is that every time you control the flame, you will unconsciously stop to acc.u.mulate energy. If you can overcome this habit and make the entire alchemy process more complete and coherent, I believe that whether the pill will be formed or not doesnt depend on luck. Lin Yi suggested.

Little tricks? Stop charging? Qing Danzi couldnt help but frown as he fell into deep thought. It was just as Lin Yi said-even he himself didnt realize it. This habit had been developing since he started learning alchemy at the age of ten, almost becoming a natural instinct that he didnt even notice.

Not bad, try to refine the great cyclic pellet again and pay attention to it. Lin Yi said.

Alright, he said. Qing Danzi couldnt wait to try it. This time, because he paid attention to it, even he himself noticed it, and immediately agreed with it. (To be continued.)
