Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Chapter 11:Alchemists

After learning about the different rules and information in the rules talisman, he put it back into his inventory. He then took out the last talisman in the inventory.

The first thing it taught was how alchemy is performed. It went in-depth into the action behind the alchemy than what he had found on the Internet.

Basically, Alchemy was about the synergies between the various ingredients as they are slowly converted into a pill in the cauldron. The better the harmony between the different synergies in the ingredients, the better the quality of the pill would be.

He also learned why he hadn't seen a grade in the pill he had got.

"So I was right, there are no grades, but just unofficial grades." He thought.

A pill's efficiency was based on how well the harmony in the pill was. Pills below 10% harmony between the ingredients were called a failure.

At 10% harmony, a pill would be considered a mortal grade pill. They would barely be a pill and were considered the worst of the worst. Alchemists who could only make Mortal grade pills were called Mortal Alchemists.

At 25% harmony, a pill would elevate to earth grade. Once you started forming earth-grade pills on a regular basis, you were called Earth Alchemist. You were considered a proper alchemist once you became an Earth Alchemist.

At 50% harmony, a pill would elevate to heaven grade. Any alchemists that made even 10 heaven-grade pills were considered Heavenly Alchemists. Heavenly Alchemists were revered by everyone and were very hard to come by.

At 75% harmony, a pill would be considered an Immortal grade pill. But that was just a myth. It was near to impossible to form an Immortal grade pill, so Immortal Alchemists were nonexistent as well.

There were also other classifications to pills as well. These classifications were based on which realm of cultivators could use the pill.

The different types of pills were common pills, True pills, and saint pills. Only self tempering realm cultivators could use Common pill. Similarly, only True realm users could use True pills, and Saint realm users could use Saint pills.

He did not learn about the pills for the other realms. One would need to be in the realm or have crossed it to form those pills.

A True realm alchemist could make True Pills, and they could also make Common pills, but they could not make Saint pills. Forming pills required one to infuse qi into the ingredients to create harmony between them, and without having that Qi, one couldn't possibly make the pills for that realm.

There was a few other information in the talisman, such as different names and images for different alchemy materials. But Alex didn't need those.

Once he was done learning everything he could from the talisman he put it back. He took out the final item in the inventory. The metal token.

"Guess I should go and get a book from the library, huh. It's free after all. Such a shame I can only take an earth-grade book."

Alex stood up and got out of his cottage. There were dozens of different disciples walking around with different shades of green robes. Most of them were wearing the same light green robe as him.

'This must be the robes that outer disciple wore.' He thought to himself. He wondered if the other people wearing the different shades of green were the inner disciples and core disciples.

He didn't ask. He took out the map once more from the inventory and checked the direction to the valley.

Even though most of the way was just a dirt path, the way was very smooth. And since it was mostly downhill, he had no problem reaching the sect valley without losing a single breath.

There was a special scent in the air that he couldn't put a finger on. It was a weird mixture of flowers and a medicine-like scent.

"Is this from all the alchemy that is being done he-… Woah"

He was shocked to see how many people there were in the sect valley. It was almost like a festival was currently going on in the valley. There were hundreds of green robe-wearing disciples walking around in the valley. contemporary romance

There were dozens of large buildings, some spanning more ground than his massive University. He was truly shocked to see the sects valley.

"If the valley alone is this big, then how big is the entire sect?" he wondered.

He looked at his map again and found the direction to the library. After a short walk among the crowd, he quickly reached the library.

The library was a massive tower that went up at least 10 floors. The library was circular in design and was very wide as well.

He walked into the tower but was quickly stopped by the elder who was in charge of the library. The elder wore a dark green robe with silver linings. He was short and bald but had a long white flowing beard.

"Give me your nameplate before entering." He asked. Alex was startled. 'What is a nameplate?' he wondered.

"Good afternoon Elder. I am a new disciple who only entered the sect today. I do not know what this nameplate is. I wasn't given something like that." He truthfully answered the elder.

"Hmm… you only entered today, yet you are coming to the library already? Go away, kid. Go get your nameplate from the Disciple hall first before doing anything else in the sect." The elder said in an indifferent manner.

"Thank you for the information, Elder," Alex thanked the elder and walked away. Soon more disciples arrived at the library, and the elder went back to doing his job.

Alex opened his map once again and searched for the Disciple Hall on it. Once he found it, he went there as fast as he could.
