Chapter 10: Mansion

Through the hall of the Alchemy Association, we can see an old man going somewhere. This person is Gu Yan, President of Alchemy Association and one of 6 elders.

Gu Yan: 'what is this that is so urgent that Huyan Ming has to inform me about and send the Apprentice to call me? He is not the type of person who will do this without reason.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Exam Room,

Long has started refining the pill.

Long: 'Raphael use the database to guide me throughout the process. detect the flaws in the method in refining the method and fix what can be fixed.'

Long: 'Okay, let's start refining'

Long starts refining pills using the Raphael improved Method.

Some time passes since Long started refining the pill and is about to finish when someone enters the room. Huyan sees who has entered the room and goes towards them.

Huyan: "Greeting, President"

President nods in response and sees an 8-year-old child operating an alchemy furnace and asks Huyan.

Gu Yan: "who is this child? Is he the reason you called for me?"

Huyan: "Yes, President he is the reason I called for you. This is Long Tian and he is currently in process of completing the second round of the primary apprentice exam."

Gu Yan strokes his beard and says, "I see"

Gu Yan: "that's quite impressive and it's good that you informed me but why was it so urgent"

Huyan then takes out Long's answer sheet from the first round that he asked someone to retrieve and gives it to Gu Yan saying.

Huyan: "President this is Long's mark sheet from the first round and every question was answered perfectly"

Gu Yan sees this and is quite impressed by it, but asks again.

Gu Yan: "though this is very impressive, but I don't think this is urgent enough to call me here."

Huyan then drops the bomb on poor old President Gu Yan.

Huyan: "President, he has a purple soul realm and soul force of 100"

This was the final push he needed to understand why Huyan called him here. With this child's talent not only would he be a talented alchemist but also a strong Cultivator.

Gu Yan nods towards Huyan, signalling that he has understood his reasons. and proceeds to also wait for Long to finish refining the pill.

But his wait was not long as only a few minutes later Long finished the refining of the pill and took it out of the furnace.

after, taking the pill out of the furnace. Long takes it to Huyan to be examined.

Upon receiving the pill from Long both Huyan and President Gu Yan examined it. And the more they examined it the more astonished they became.

That pill was not an ordinary soul assembling. It's efficacy surpassed what they thought was 100% efficacy and was more akin 110% percent. not only that amount of soul force in the pill was more.

they look at eachother and knew Long is a genius born once every ten thousand years. they turn towards Long and see him waiting their judgement.

Gu Yan: "Long Tian your alchemy has surpassed our expectations and you are more then qualified to become an alchemist apprentice."

Long: "thank you, senior"

Gu Yan: "upon celebration of junior's talent please ask whatever you want. we would do everything in our power to make it possible"

Long: "senior, I don't want any material possession as those can be earned and lost overtime. But I want something invaluable."

Gu Yan thinks what does he want and gets a little worried, but he still asks.

Gu Yan: "then, what does junior want?"

Long: "knowledge I want access to Library of Holy Orchid Institute"

after hearing this Gu Yan became relieved that this request was not something outrageous. he had already planned to inform city lord about Long and knowing him this request would not be a problem.

Gu Yan: "No, problem Long I will see to it that you get unlimited access to the Library of Holy Orchid Institute."

Long: "thank you, senior"

Gu Yan then turns towards Huyan who was standing in silence till now asks them to retrieve a alchemist clothes and badge for Long. which is promptly brought and given to him.

Long: "I would like to take my leave now as today was the long day."

Gu Yan: "Yes yes Long must be tired. please rest and recover. But may I ask where do you live."

Long makes a sad face and says.

Long: "I am a orphan and will find a inn to stay at night."

Gu Yan hears this and sees this as an opportunity.

Gu Yan: "I see. but that won't do, alchemist association has a lot of properties that were exchanged for elixirs. we have a good mansion near The institute that will be perfect for Long. why don't you take it.

Long: "then, I would like to trouble senior a little."

Gu Yan: "it's no trouble at all and you can keep that mansion as yours"

Long: "thank you,senior"

with that Long receives the key to his new mansion goes there.

Long: 'that was soo exhausting to keep up polite junior act'
