Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Chapter 70: The Most Lucrative Proffesion on the Continent

Xuan Hao soon finished explaining the basics of alchemy to Qing Yi, as she looked at him with shining eyes. Clearly wanting to know more about it.

”If you want to know more, you could go and visit the alchemy hall of the sect. From what I know, there is a lot of information about it there and you should be able to learn a lot from the Alchemist staying there. The Flying Sword Sect have quite a few famous Alchemists.” Hearing what he said, Qing Yi did not even bother waiting any longer as she quickly disappeared from her room. Most likely making her way over to the alchemy hall of the sect.

”Hah…” Sighing a bit to himself upon seeing how enthusiastic Qing Yi was, Xuan Hao just shook his head and went back to his own room to check out what had happened with the system earlier when he taught Qing Yi the basics of alchemy.

Entering his sea of consciousness, Xuan Hao stared directly at the new quest that appeared below his current side quest.

[Side Quest: Disciple, Qing Yi, Becomes a Journeyman Alchemist]

[Reward: Artisan level Alchemist Knowledge and skill]

The new side quest was related to the fact that Qing Yi had become interested in alchemy and was about her becoming a Journeyman Alchemist. The only problem was that Xuan Hao did not have much knowledge in regard to alchemy and if he were ranked according to his skill level, he would only be considered an Apprentice Alchemist, below the level of a Journeyman Alchemist.

The different level of an Alchemist was ranked in accordance with the level of pills or potions that they could make. For example, a Journeyman Alchemist could make pills useful for cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Realm, while an Apprentice Alchemist could make pills useful for cultivators at the Qi Condensation Realm.

The different skill level of Alchemist was as follows, Apprentice Alchemist, Journeyman Alchemist, Expert Alchemist, Artisan Alchemist and Master Alchemist.

From what Xuan Hao knew, Alchemist were quite sought after and there was only a single Artisan Alchemist in the entire Heavenly Sky Kingdom, and he was part of the Imperial family, as for a Master Alchemist? The Great Sky Empire that the Heavenly Sky Kingdom was under, was said to only have a handful of Alchemist at that level… Anything above the Master Alchemist Realm was close to unheard of, as most Alchemists, even in big empires remained stuck at the Master Alchemist Realm.

The last person who broke through to the realm above Master Alchemist was said to have left the Ewaria Continent long ago, just like the Immortal Dreamer, he had not returned after leaving…

”Well, no use thinking about it…” Shaking his head at the thought, Xuan Hao decided to help Qing Yi in her journey to learn alchemy. After all, if he could become a strong alchemist or have a strong alchemist as a disciple, he would not need to worry so much about trouble.

In the entire Ewaria continent, it was widely known that alchemist was not to be messed with, as nobody knew how many friends, they had made pills or other kinds of potions for in the past.

This was especially so for Alchemist at the Master Realm, as they could mostly ignore the empire they were under and do what they liked. A single word from a Master Alchemist could easily rally a few dozen Domain Lords to his side for help!

Though the rallying power of Alchemist of the Master Realm was strong, it could still not compare to the most sought-after profession of healers. The Healer profession could be considered another path for alchemist as it dealt with healing injuries and making all sort of medical pills and potion, it was widely acknowledged that a healer needed the corresponding realm in alchemy to even be considered a healer in the first place.

Meaning a Master Healer was also a Master Alchemist!

This had resulted in the Healer profession being among the rarest professions on the Ewaria Continent.

The rallying power of a Master Healer did not only include the Domain Lord cultivators, but even those above the Domain Lord Realm, as nobody knew when they would get injured and required the help of a healer.

That was truly a lucrative profession! Compared to healers, Alchemist were nothing more than paupers!

”hm…” Thinking about this Xuan Hao suddenly remembered Qing Yi. Perhaps, Qing Yi would walk the path of a healer in the future? They were after all, way more profitable compared to only being an Alchemist…

”If she really becomes a healer in the future, that would be great… I wonʼt have to worry about trouble with such a disciple!” Smiling at the thought of becoming the teacher of a brilliant healer with Domain lords at her beg and call, Xuan Hao quietly started cultivating.

…

”WHAT! Is what you said true?!” In a large hall of the Flying Sword Sect, the Vice Sect Master Zu Fei slammed a pitiful innocent table in front of her as a terrifying look had appeared on her face.

*Crash

The table collapsed under the sudden attack of a Nascent Soul expert and the pitiful remains laid on the floor with a now broken tea set that had been on the table earlier.

”Calm down Feifei, we canʼt act recklessly in this case!” The Sect Master Feng Chen smiled awkwardly when he saw the now destroyed table and looked at the angry Zu Fei.

”What do you mean canʼt act reckless! Those bastards are clearly taking people from our territory, if not for Elder Xuan finding out about this when he went out with his disciple, how long would it take for us to realize a few cities disappearing at our bordering territory with the Black Rose Sect!?

And from what Elder Xuan said, those bastards are clearly using some sort of demonic technique to absorb the life force and qi of others! How can I remain calm knowing something like that is happening!?” Angrily standing up, Zu Fei threw a fit as she destroyed what little furniture was left in the large hall.

”Hah… I will contact the Heavenly Sky Kingdom and the other sects regarding this, demonic techniques such as the one described by Elder Xuan, are after all banned by the Great Sky Empire… For them to use it so openly, I fear something dangerous is about to happen soon, so we have to act cautiously! Do you understand Feifei?” Putting on a strict face, Feng Chen scolded Zu Fei as the person in question pouted angrily before leaving the hall.

”I hope Iʼm just worrying over nothing…” Muttering this to himself, Feng Chen stared at the empty hall before leaving as well.

The meeting between the two of them was about Xuan Haoʼs encounter with the people from the Black Rose Sect and their open use of clearly banned demonic techniques.

”W-what is this!” A servant entered the empty hall a few hours later and felt tears well up in her eyes.

The damage done by the angry Zu Fei would at least take a few days to clean up…
