C31. Alchemist and tier

An alchemist is a profession where they can refine many types of Medical Pills and elixirs which helps in improving the practitioners' cultivation, purifying the Qi in the body, increasing the strength, healing, and many different types of pills and elixirs.

They are rare among all Practitioners and are considered special because of their knowledge and abilities to refine pills.

You need to achieve very high criteria to become one. It is said that one had not only to cultivate his body but the mind too. There are seven tiers when Ranking Alchemists that correlate to the tier level of pill one can refine. There is a rumored to be higher tier exists, but it is speculated that one must reach the level of a peek Practitioner to become one.

The Medicine Palace held the exam to accept the disciples, the exam happens once every 2 years same time as the Prism Phoenix academy's exam. But unlike the prism Phoenix exam, It is said that only 5 percent of the student passes. One can take the qualification exam at an Medicine Palace exam hall.

"To cure miss Xudan I need the help of the alchemist whose cultivation is at least 1st level of the Spirit realm. That is why I needed one of your medicine Palace experienced alchemists to refine a pill." Kai Chen purposed his intention to come to the medicine palace to the director.

After discussing the small matter Kai Chen revealed his real intention to visit them and that's what they also have been waiting for. Since they had already discovered about everything. It might be Chain Hai himself who told them about him otherwise who would dare to go against him?

They gave him the Hostas grass because of Chain Hai too as it was his personal request otherwise why would they go to such length to offend the direct heir of the Braveheart clan for a single deal of the commoner clan. Sure the pill recipe can benefit their palace and bring a huge amount of money. But offending one of the five powerhouses could ruin their both reputation and the business. A single-pill recipe was not worth the risk. If the matter didn't involve the health of the Chain Xudan they never would have handed over the Hostas herb to Kai Chen over Bao Sheng.

The second elder standing behind the director came forward, she decided to help him refine the pill for Chai Xudan. She was the perfect person to do this job since the hall master was busy refining other pills and the director had to run the whole business of the medicine palace. But that doesn't mean she was any less inferior to them, she too had years of experience in refining the pills.

She was so eager to help Kai Chen that already completed her all work. She truly wanted to do it for Chain Xudan and had already done the preparation.

The basic things needed to refine a pill are a cauldron and ingredients, she had prepared them in her refining chamber. Her cultivation level also meets the requirements of Kai Chen. She is at the 3rd level of the Spirit realm cultivator though if he could Kai Chen still prefers the hall master or the director as their cultivation is more profound than her.

But one could not always hope for the best sometimes you have to make use of the things you have. And the second elder was more than enough to refine the pill he needed for the treatment.

After finishing his tea Kai Chen thanked the director and bowed then they left for the refining chamber of the second elder.

"Third elder what do you think about this Kai Chen?" The director asked the opinion of the second elder, Xi fern.

"He is quite mature for his age. I asked people and they said he was nothing special and easily got killed by Zha Nan, but it turned out he was only faking his death but I still don't understand the reason behind faking his death. I think he didn't reveal all his secrets and maybe he is also lying about finding a mysterious book and gaining medical knowledge from it because I have never heard about a book like that exist." The third elder of the medicine Palace is a 3 tier alchemist but he mostly handles the information circulating in the kingdom.

"He is quite daring to call the heir of the braveheart clan a fool even I would not do it. Sigh...I hope he doesn't meet his demise too soon." The director sighed and saw Kai Chen's disappearing back.

After a few minutes of walking, they reached the front gate of the refining chamber. It was as grand as one would expect from the elder of the palace. Even the main house of the dragon claw clan of nothing compared to it. Two peek soul realm experts were guarding the gate. It is so just no one would dare to disturb the second elder when she is busy refining the pill.

The second elder welcomed him inside. The guards were puzzled as they have never seen elder Su act like that not even in front of the dukes. As for welcoming him into her refining chamber as never brought her disciple inside. They couldn't help but wonder who this little fella is.

There was a big cauldron at the center of the room, thousands of alchemy related materials and ingredients were placed on the selves.

"Kai Chen tell me the method and I will refine it!" The elder was very eager to refine a new pill.

But not as eager as Kai Chen after all, if he could not able to cure Chain Xudan then Chain Hai would annihilate his whole clan along with him. But he didn't reveal his fear or eagerness in front of others. He is not the type of person who reveals his weakness in front of others.
