This excruciating case amply demonstrated just how dangerous Advanced Alchemy was.
Li Ang drew, stopping and starting. After four hours, he finally completed an enormous Alchemy Array on the ground, nearly ten meters in diameter and filled with complex patterns.
The patterns within the Alchemy Array were equivalent to chemical reaction equations.
When different Alchemists synthesized the same compound, their personal preferences, habits, and aesthetics led to different methods of synthesis, resulting in a diverse array of alchemy patterns and drawing processes.
Some particularly clever and mischievous Alchemists even dismantled phrases cursing or mocking their enemies, or a racy image that would make people clamor for more, integrating them into the Array and spreading them widely as alchemical teaching material.
