Chapter 166: Blacken

Skilled Tooling alchemists usually set up detailed plans before creating alchemy items. They needed a long time to do researches and preparations before finally proceeding with the item itself.

Innovation, talent, insight, and technique… These were all essential factors to make an alchemy item. Without them, one could only copy the ways of ancestors.

Many alchemists spent their lives in this field without making much achievement. People with less innovative ideas could never create new inventions while those who managed to find inspiration often failed to become successful in the end. Rather, their inspiration could go wild and prevent them from using well-balanced materials which could cause terrible results such as exploding experiments.

This was why there were very few alchemists in the world and even fewer talented ones.
