All along, Xu Yi had never shown as much flair for alchemy as he had for other disciplines. It wasn't because he lacked talent for it.
Rather, he had never systematically or fundamentally tried to grasp alchemy. He had always wandered on the surface. He was good at research and discovery, and this sort of parroting what he saw was something he simply couldn't get used to.
That was why Xuan Lengyan had often scolded him while instructing him in alchemy.
But things were different now. He had obtained a Black Quality Badge, and his access to resources had leaped forward.
He was no longer fixated on refining any one particular pill. Instead, he had started from the basics, tracing things back to their origins and grasping the roots from which the new methods of alchemy had sprung.
He was now constantly studying the experiments recorded in the Gold Register and the Dan Book, taking a broad, systematic approach to alchemy.
The process was inevitably tedious, but the foundation he laid would be extraordinarily solid.
Of course, as he worked through this tedious process, his spectrum system played an irreplaceable role.
What others found difficult to grasp about medicinal properties appeared to him as colors. It was like memorizing a long, monumental ancient text.
For others, memorizing it outright was impossible; they could only understand it bit by bit.
But he could use special patterns to commit it to memory right away. He only needed to deepen his understanding afterward, and he would surely get twice the result with half the effort.
Besides, research into medicinal ingredients ultimately had to be put to the test in practice.
The spectrum system would greatly increase his chances of success in his experiments. Its significance was almost impossible to overstate.
Every experiment recorded
