The elder pointed again at the alchemy blueprints on the table.
"Next, the practice blueprints for alchemy creatures from stage one to stage twelve are all here. You can take them back and cultivate them on your own. Start from grade one, and as your level in Constructology rises, you can gradually work your way up through the blueprint levels. If you encounter any problems along the way, feel free to ask me. Of course, with your alchemy ability, I doubt there will be any issues."
For martial artists like Fang Heng, who already had other academic foundations, the early stages of Constructology posed no difficulty. He only needed some basic guidance and could then return to practice on his own. Staying in the cultivation space would also be a waste of resources.
"Thank you, senior."
Fang Heng glanced down at the alchemy blueprints on the table.
From the simplest tier one to the most difficult tier twelve, they were indeed all easy.
Even the highest-tier, level twelve blueprints, he could instantly understand without using the Eye of God.
Fang Heng raised his head and gave the white-robed elder an apologetic smile. "Senior, if I stay here to cultivate, will the trial space provide crafting materials?"
The elder was momentarily stunned.
Was it necessary for him to stay here to practice?
With his alchemy level, he could already perform void alchemy. Setting up this kind of alchemy magic array was extremely simple.
Or was this boy just too lazy to go out and gather materials?
Every minute in the cultivation space was charged.
The tier one to twelve blueprints were specifically chosen for practice, so the crafting materials were not considered rare, only a few slightly costly ones.
Was he really not short of money?
"If you wish, I naturally would not refuse."
The white-robed elder, still puzzled, gave a definite answer and nodded. "We will provide materials for cultivation, as long as they are not wasted."
"Thank you, senior."
Fang Heng bowed again to the white-robed elder, then turned his back and once more drew a stack of rune papers.
The elder’s eyes twitched slightly as he watched this familiar action, as if it reminded him of a scene he knew. His heart began to pound faster.
No way...
Could it be that he wanted to...?
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!!!"
The familiar scene began again.
With a wave of his hand, a large number of Lickers sprang from the exploding rune papers, then quickly divided, entering the flesh cocoon state to revert to zombie clone forms.
The zombie clones then began lining up, passing in front of the desk one by one. Each passing clone took several portions of alchemy materials from the table.
The alchemy materials on the table were provided by a special magic array, which instantly refreshed as they were taken, as if inexhaustible.
After collecting the materials, the zombie clones spread out to an open area, sat down, and a series of alchemy magic array imprints appeared in front of them.
The white-robed elder’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Alchemy?
Could clone lifeforms also practice alchemy?
Was that even possible?
The God-level clones Fang Heng controlled could not only perform contract summoning, but also perform alchemy?
The elder watched closely as one zombie completed an alchemy slime.
Although the movements were a bit awkward and their efficiency far lower than Fang Heng’s main body, that was insignificant.
Clone alchemy? That completely surpassed his understanding.
What truly shocked him was the sheer number of clones.
In a short moment, white auras appeared throughout the cultivation area.
As the white light flickered, foundation-level alchemy slimes were completed one by one.
What was that?
The elder frowned slightly and looked at several clones who had not participated in alchemy but were wandering with a bag.
Those clones walked past their companions, collected the completed alchemy slimes into the bag, then returned to another area and removed the slimes from the bag.
Until the bag was full.
The clones then staggered to another spot.
Several clones were constantly using alchemy to dismantle the completed slimes back into raw materials.
Other clones then classified the recycled materials, ready to reuse them in the next cycle.
During repeated crafting and recycling, materials were consumed, and clones continuously came back to the desk to collect more materials to replenish them.
"This..."
The white-robed elder opened his mouth, unable to describe the shock he felt.
Everything before him reminded him of one word:
Assembly line!
Yes, just like a mechanical factory assembly line, constantly repeating operations, producing puppets in bulk.
Fang Heng was essentially applying the assembly line concept to alchemy.
The goal was to increase efficiency.
Fortunately, the cultivation space could expand according to his mental strength, theoretically accommodating tens of millions of zombie clones.
It was simply about grinding!
The final academic disciplines required experience tens of thousands of times higher than what normal people needed to level up.
No problem.
His zombie clone numbers could reach millions of times that of a normal person!
Even without game hints, Fang Heng could tell that his experience points were steadily increasing.
Keep going!
The assembly line still had room for optimization.
He could consider positioning the zombie clones at fixed nodes, compressing distances to the limit, and transmitting materials via spatial teleportation passages, eliminating time lost to physical movement.
Fang Heng, long unused to modifying the assembly line, felt a surge of excitement. He continued to focus, controlling the clones to improve the efficiency of experience grinding.
The white-robed elder finally regained his senses after a long while. He looked deeply at Fang Heng, then at the clones walking past, and suddenly noticed the remaining alchemy materials on the desk.
Something was wrong...
The materials in the cultivation area were meant for the convenience of teaching, freely provided to cultivators, not for skill grinding at this scale.
The Dimensional Emperor never imagined someone would consume alchemy materials in such a frenzied manner.
At this rate, the materials might run out...
The elder wiped the seawater off his forehead and looked at Fang Heng.
So this was the reason he stayed here to cultivate?
It could not continue.
He would need to contact the supply of cultivation resources. At this consumption rate, the materials would be gone in a few hours.
Judging by Fang Heng’s force, he probably would not stop until all twelve alchemy blueprints were fully practiced.
...
Three days later.
Because the last two disciplines could not be completed through energy absorption alone, even with the clones’ assistance, the experience gain was still relatively slow, so Fang Heng had not yet maxed out.
The good news was that these two disciplines could be entirely handled by the zombie clones for skill grinding.
Then he would just grind them first!
Fang Heng controlled the zombie clones to remain in the cultivation space, continuing the grind, while he went alone to the market district to meet the Star Clan youth.
To avoid trouble, Fang Heng deliberately changed his appearance when leaving the cultivation area, staying alert to any pursuers, which cost him a few extra minutes.
