Although he had a bet with Elsa, Notan didn't take it much.

That night, he had already been able to plug more and more source power into the Tai Chi wheel, and the effect of meditation was increasing day by day.

The next day, Dean Hassan came to teach the fifth class.

Dean Hassan smiled slightly, picked up the cup on the table, and asked, "Nottan! What's your real experience?"

"The cup is 5.12 cm high and 4.89 cm in diameter. The constituent elements include four lines of gold, wood, water and earth, of which about 1,200 gold elements, 1,000 wood elements, 800 water elements, and the most earth elements, more than 10,000." Notan replied confidently. In fact, the data he could see is far more and more accurate than what he said, but he was worried that if he told it truthfully, he would definitely be regarded as a monster by the person in front of him. However, just like this, Dean Hassan had already looked at him with a very strange look. After all, the data that Notan mentioned was almost not much weaker than what he observed, but he had been a master who had been immersed in this art for decades. He didn't know how much higher his mental power and level were - it was amazing in just one day.

But after a moment, Hassan was already laughing and almost narrowed his eyes into a line. "Very good, very good!" President Hassan exclaimed a few times before asking again: "Natan, I heard that you have Anlu's beauty wood carving, right?"

Notan nodded, took out the beauty wood carving from the storage card and handed it to Dean Hassan. Dean Hassan seemed to be very interested in the wood carving. After rubbing it for a while, he said, "This wood carving is not simple!"

"It's not simple?" Notan was a little confused.

"An Luo himself is the top swordsman in the world. His wood carvings contain his sword intent to a greater or lesser extent, so it will not be simple!" Dean Hassan smiled slightly and said, "If you can use your reality to truly feel the wood-carved wood patterns, and understand how An Luo cuts according to the patterns and how to use force, this is your "reality". Moreover, you also have the rank of a swordsman, and being able to experience An Luo's sword intent and sword skills from the wood carvings will also be of great benefit to you in the future!"

"With the truth, can you still realize Anluo's sword intent and sword technique?"

"No doubt!" President Hassan nodded and handed the wood carving back to Notan. Putting aside this topic, he returned to the main topic and asked: "Notan, how many elements can be manipulated at the same time now?"

Nottan was a little ashamed of this and said, "It's only more than 10,000."

"Although it has not reached its peak, it's pretty good!" Dean Hassan smiled slightly, pointed to the table beside him and asked, "Nottan, do you know how many elements there are in this table?"

"About one million." Notan answered seriously.

"How much mental power is required to manipulate more than one million elements at the same time?"

"Ten thousand points!" Notan just replied, suddenly realized that things seemed not so simple, so he quickly shut up.

"In theory, it is indeed ten thousand points!" President Hassan said very seriously. He slapped the table gently, and light flashed by one after another. Almost in just a few seconds, the table had turned into a small cabinet. "Even a person with high spiritual talent could not reach ten thousand points of mental power. However, an alchemist who is truly powerful like Master Merlin can refine the entire mountain range. The elements that need to be manipulated are more than one trillion, and the mental power is more than one billion?"

Notan didn't think about this problem when he was playing the game. When he thought about it again, he felt incredible. Dean Hassan was obviously very proud of his astonishment expression. He smiled and patted Notan's head and said, "Stop thinking about it. In fact, there is no trick. He just used the combination of formations and was driven by the source veins and power!"

When Notan heard Dean Hassan say this, he was a little excited and asked, "Teacher, today you are going to teach me the third step of the cultivation of the Original Meridian. Do you read it?"

President Hassan shook his head and said, "It's not the time yet!"

“What is today’s course?”

Dean Hassan said casually despite Nottan's expectations: "Refined into throwing! A skill that can be learned in the seventh level of the alchemist!"

Notan knew that he was finally going to start real alchemy learning, because the refining of throwing was completely different from homogeneous refining, and this had already begun to produce, and what he learned today would be the beginning of everything refining into a formation and all of this.

However, before studying, Notan still had a doubt that Dean Hassan needed to answer.

"Teacher, is there any difference between the formations cultivated by formation sorcerers?"

"In essence, whether it is to refine a formation, formation, or runes, they use the rules of gods to complete what the sorcerer wants to accomplish. There is no difference in essence, so all three are called sorcerers. However, unlike other formations and runes, refine a formation does not have any attack or defense. Its purpose is to allow the sorcerer to use less mental power to complete the three major processes of alchemy and theory harmony." Dean Hassan explained.

"Explanation, reason, and consistency?"

"Overall, alchemy has three processes: one is the solution, two is the reason, and three is the combination. The so-called solution means dismantling the matter we can come into contact with into the most basic five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. The principle means rearranging the elements, and the final combination means combining the elements together to form new matter. In a sense, alchemy may be more appropriate to be called refining - because all five elements can be refined!"

"I think these theories should not be secrets. Other sorcerers can also use rules to mobilize elements. Can't other formations and runes achieve the effect of alchemy?"

Dean Hassan smiled slightly, then shook his head and said, "Even if he knew the principle of refining a formation, if he did not practice both ways, the level of the alchemist was only 0. How could he use refining a formation?"

"Isn't it possible to do it as long as you have mental power?" Notan still didn't understand.

"There are mysterious connections between any element that makes up matter. Only those with an alchemist rank can break this connection. I don't know the reason, but can only be explained as - this is the rule of God!" President Hassan said seriously.

Notan nodded slightly. Although he was curious, he did not need to know this rule very thoroughly. After all, before Newton appeared, people did not know why the apple landed. Before Einstein appeared, people did not know that time could flow back... No matter what kind of world, they were bound by rules unknown to mankind.

"Because alchemy has three steps: understanding, reason, and combining, so refining a formation can also be divided into three different formations: understanding, reason, and combining. Today, what I want to teach you is the first formation, the ‘reason array’!"

"Why is it a formation?" Notan was a little curious. After all, the first step in alchemy is to solve it!

Dean Hassan smiled slightly and said, "Elements are not only in matter. There are countless scattered elements in this world. I said that to make up the relationship between the elements of matter requires strong mental power. When the level of mental power is low, it is impossible to operate at all. Therefore, in fact, the initial alchemy only had two processes: "Mathematics" and "Combination". The reason why I let you understand the reality of matter is that you hope that you can form a clear image of an object in your mind. In this way, it will be easier to succeed in the process of using elements."

Notan suddenly realized, "So that's it!"

Following the guidance of Dean Hassan, Notan tried to control the elements with his mental power. After rearranging the elements, he formed the substance he had created for the first time - "water droplets".

Dean Hassan was obviously very satisfied with Notan being able to master the "routine formation" so quickly. After Notan was more skillful, he slowly said: "Any factor in which the power of any magic can exert stronger depends on how many elements are controlled in the entire formation. The key to any magic in combat is to how much time you spend completing the entire technique. Because mental power is fixed, the elements that can be controlled at the same time are also fixed, so if you want to make your magic power stronger, you have to shorten your magic time. For example, you have three seconds to cast the magic in battle, but you can complete the entire "routine formation" in one tenth of a second. That is to say, when you have sufficient source power, you can use the "routine formation" ten times in the first second. Do you know what this means?"

"This means I can control the elements that I use 'machining array'."

"That's it!" President Hassan nodded seriously and said, "So, speed is very important!"

“What the teacher teaches!”

Dean Hassan taught Nortan again to "combination array", which ended today's course. There is a difference between "combination array" and "combination array". The key is that after using "combination array" to arrange the elements, the elements need to be manipulated to form matter. Nortan originally thought that he could use "combination array" to arrange the elements as much as the elements, but in fact it was far from that simple. The elements that can form matter with "combination array" are only one-third of the elements as the "combination array", and even a few.

"Why is this happening?" Notan was very puzzled.

President Hassan explained: "The process of forming matter is more difficult than manipulating unowned elements. Generally speaking, three arrays are allocated to cleavage and combine. The mental power is allocated to cleavage and combine. Secondly, the rational array is the least. However, because you have the energy power as the source of mental power, there is no such situation as mental power distribution. Just put your all-out effort into each step."

Notan thought that he needed to cultivate the source vein, meditation, and training the "combination formation". These three types of cultivation were completely different, and they were all quite difficult. He suddenly became a little uneasy, but he also knew that even if he wanted to become a great alchemist, even if he had extraordinary talents, he still needed more difficult practice.

In the next month, in the two different courses of alchemy and formation magic, whether Dean Hassan or Elsa, who guided Notan instead of Hellenfen's mentor, they began to explain to Notan some basic theories of sorcerers, such as elemental balance, mutual generation and restraint between elements, and repulsion. There were very few things related to sorcerers. It can be said that they were just the techniques of quick writing of "formula" and meditation. There were almost no mention of the gestures, techniques, formation release, control, etc. of sorcerers.

Of course, Notan knew that what he should learn had learned, and what was important was how to enhance, improve, and how to combine everything he had learned...
