Eighteen Tolling Bells!

A clansman took a deep breath.

"The final inspection is complete."

"What about the medicinal ingredient ratios?"

"Everything was weighed according to the improved formula. There are no errors."

"Good."

Orochimaru looked toward the center of the altar, undisguised anticipation in his golden vertical pupils.

Unlike Ren, who could rely on the system's enhancements to use Alchemy as he pleased, he was still in the exploratory stage with this brand-new power.

Even though he cultivated the Great River Qi Refinement Method, he could not decompose and reconstruct matter with his bare hands without relying on external assistance.

Alchemy places excessively high demands on understanding the Jutsu Formula, controlling power, and performing mental calculations.

The slightest deviation would completely ruin the entire batch of materials.

But that did not stump Orochimaru.

If he could not accomplish it alone, then he would use a fixed Jutsu Formula to reduce the difficulty.

If one person could not bear all the pressure of control, then several people would share it.

After repeated improvements by him and Uchiha Jian, this Pentagram Transmutation Array had finally reached the standard for stable use.

Orochimaru raised a hand.

"Begin."

Five clansmen formed hand seals at the same time.

"Alchemy, activate!"

Boom!

Five streams of Chakra poured into the array positions simultaneously.

The Jutsu Formulas on the altar lit up layer by layer.

Five rays of light swiftly converged along the star-shaped Patterns toward the center, completely enveloping all the medicinal ingredients.

Sweat quickly appeared on one clansman's forehead.

"Decomposition has begun!"

At the center of the altar, the forms of the medicinal ingredients rapidly vanished.

Roots, fruits, liquids, and powders were all broken down into the tiniest particles of matter, separating from one another within the light.

Orochimaru stared fixedly at the changes in the array.

"Left array
