Beauty and the Bodyguard

4863 Where the problem lies

"Right, if there's 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 grass 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 Yi's jaw drop. There were ten more essence cultivating pills in Shennong's medicine cauldron, ten whole pills, all high quality!

This wasn't 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 would've fallen out of their sockets, and his outlook on life would've 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 farmer's medicine cauldron, along with the essence-cultivating golden devil grass 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 Yi's attention quickly returned to the tablet. This little surprise wasn't enough for him to throw Qing Danzi to the back of his mind.

Lin Yi couldn't 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 wasn't 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 two's refining process is very different. It's 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 analysis results of Lin Yi's 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 didn't explain the problem. Lin Yi had the Shennong medicine cauldron, a godly 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 Danzi's was completely controlled by himself. No matter how experienced he was, it couldn't be as perfect as a computer's control. This wasn't 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 don't 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 it's because of this, then it's the limit that all alchemists can't overcome."

Indeed, the human brain wasn't a computer. A computer could perfectly control the curves of a pill, but those who relied on experience couldn't do it, even the legendary Mystic class.

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 didn't compare it carefully, even Lin Yi wouldn't notice it.

The difference was that Lin Yi's own curves were formed from the start to the end with no gaps in the middle, but Qing Danzi's was different. At first glance, it looked like a continuous curve, but if you looked at it ten times, you'd 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 wasn't hard to understand, because Qing Danzi didn't 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 Danzi's 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 Danzi's 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 wasn't too bad, there wouldn't be a problem. But if his luck wasn't 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 didn't notice yourself, and that is that every time you control the flame, you will unconsciously stop to accumulate 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 doesn't depend on luck." Lin Yi suggested.

"Little tricks? Stop charging?" Qing Danzi couldn't help but frown as he fell into deep thought. It was just as Lin Yi said-even he himself didn't realize it. This habit had been developing since he started learning alchemy at the age of ten, almost becoming a natural instinct that he didn't 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 couldn't 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.)
