"Alchemist?"
Xiao Yan was also startled when he heard this. However, he immediately frowned,"In the Dou Qi continent, everyone wants to become an alchemist. However, the harsh conditions of refining medicine…" His voice suddenly paused."I've reached it?"
The young man looked up and down again when he heard this. Then, he sighed in a somewhat difficult manner and said,"Sigh, although I am barely qualified, who asked me to owe you a favor? Forget it, forget it. Just treat it as returning the favor…"
Xiao Yan glanced at the reluctant young man and thought in his heart, If they barely passed, why would you say that others rarely had soul perception and talent? However, she was too lazy to ask so much at this moment. Then, she asked the young man,"Even if I meet the requirements, alchemists are usually taught by teachers personally. Could it be that you are also an alchemist?”
The young man gently smiled as he looked at Xiao Yan's tender face. His chest was slightly raised and his voice faintly revealed a pride,"That's right, I am an alchemist!”
In this Dou Qi continent where strength reigned supreme, there was a profession that was above Dou Zhe. People called them alchemists!
Alchemists, as the name implied, were able to refine all kinds of mysterious medicinal pills that could increase one's strength. Any alchemist would be pulled over by various factions at all costs, and their status would be extremely prominent!
Alchemists being able to enjoy such treatment was naturally related to its rarity and practicality. To become an alchemist, the conditions were unusually harsh.
Firstly, one must be of the fire attribute. Secondly, the fire body must contain a trace of wood energy to act as a catalyst for refining medicine!
It must be known that the attributes of the human body on the Dou Qi continent were determined by their soul. A soul would forever only possess one attribute and it was impossible for it to have other attributes mixed in. Therefore, it was basically impossible for a body to possess two different attributes.
Of course, nothing was absolute. Among billions of people, there would always be some mutated souls, and these people with mutated souls had the potential to become alchemists!
However, merely possessing a fire and wood affinity spirit was still unable to be called a true alchemist. This was because there was another essential condition for an alchemist. Soul Perception! It was also known as the Soul Shaping Power!
There were three most important conditions for refining pills: Materials, tinder, Soul Perception!
The ingredients were naturally all kinds of heavenly and earthly treasures. Alchemists were not gods after all. Without top-grade ingredients, they were also unable to cook without rice. Therefore, good ingredients were very important!
The fire seed was the flame that was needed when refining medicine. It was impossible to use an ordinary flame when refining medicinal pills. Instead, one had to use a Dou Qi flame that was created by the fire attribute Dou Qi. Of course, the world was filled with Heavenly Flames. Some powerful alchemists would also use them. Using these Heavenly Flames to refine medicine would not only increase the success rate by a lot! Moreover, the medicinal pills refined were also stronger and more potent than the medicinal pills refined by ordinary Dou Qi flames!
As refining medicine took a long time, and refining for a long time consumed a lot of Dou Qi, every outstanding alchemist was actually a powerful flame fighter!
The last condition was soul perception!
When refining medicine, the intensity of the fire was the most important. Sometimes, as long as the fire was slightly focused, the entire furnace of medicinal pills would turn into ashes, causing all previous efforts to be wasted. Therefore, controlling the fire was something that an alchemist must learn. However, if one wanted to control the fire well, one must have a strong spiritual perception. Without this, no matter how good the first two points were, it would be useless!
Under these harsh conditions, those who had the qualifications to become alchemists were naturally extremely rare. With fewer alchemists, those mysterious medicinal pills would naturally become even rarer. The rarer an item was, the more valuable it was. This was also the reason why alchemists had such a noble and even somewhat abnormal status.
"What tier alchemist were you in the past?”Xiao Yan completely did not fall for his trick. He continued to use his calm voice to ask.
Although there were very few alchemists on the Dou Qi continent, there was a clear hierarchy due to their noble status. From low to high, they were divided into nine tiers. The owner of the Qi Gathering Powder in Nalan Yanran's hand in the hall earlier, Pill-King Gu He, was a tier six alchemist. He could be considered the number one person in the Jia Ma Empire's alchemist world.
"What rank? Hehe, I can't remember…Hey, little guy, are you going to learn or not?”Shaking his head, the voice of the young man carried a little impatience. However, upon careful observation, there was a little urgency within it. However, Xiao Yan, who was currently considering the matter of the alchemist, did not notice this.
Xiao Yan finally made his decision at this moment. After which, he said to the young man,"I'm willing to learn from you."
"Hehe, willing? If you're willing, then take me as your master." The young man crossed his legs on the ground in front of Xiao Yan and said with a cunning smile. This time around, Xiao Yan finally saw that wretched smile of his.
"Do you still want to take me as your master?"
"Nonsense, you want me to teach you everything without acknowledging you as my master? Dream on!”The young man rolled his eyes. Clearly, the relationship between master and disciple was beneficial for him to do something. That was why he insisted that Xiao Yan take him as his master.
Xiao Yan helplessly glanced at him and could only bow to the young man.
The young man nodded after seeing that Xiao Yan had completed all the formalities. His voice also had an additional warmth,"My name is Yao Lao, and I have finally managed to get your name out. As for my background, I will not tell you about it for now so that you will not be distracted. You only need to know that the so-called Pill King from your Jia Ma Empire is actually nothing.”
To be able to say this, that meant that his alchemist grade was at least two grades higher than Pill-King Gu He. In other words,'Are you a Tier 8 or Tier 9 alchemist?”
