Chapter 16: Alchemists

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

All the potions made by alchemists were quite precious, and the most precious type was undoubtedly the alchemy potion that could help a cultivator break through their cultivation levels.

This kind of alchemy potion was simply something that cultivators dreamed of.

If a cultivator were stuck in a realm and could not break through their own barrier, their cultivation would stop there, and they might not be able to break through for several years, or even more than ten years. However, a bottle of alchemy potion could help you immediately solve this problem, which was a huge temptation.

Another example was that two people had the same talent and diligence. However, one person used alchemy potions to breakthrough, and the other person did not use alchemy potions to breakthrough.

Then, without a doubt, the person who used alchemy potions would definitely surpass the person who did not use alchemy potions. Thus, he would be one step ahead of the other person and crush the other person in terms of levels.

The internal strife in the cultivation family was fierce. Only by being more outstanding and suppressing the other person could one obtain more resources and support.

This was a virtuous cycle.

Therefore, the geniuses in the family, including their elders, would try their best to help them buy alchemy potions that could help them break through realms.

As long as this kind of alchemy potion was sold, someone would buy it no matter how high the price was.

Because of this, those alchemy potions that could help cultivators break through levels had always been in a state where there was a price but no stock. It was not easy to buy a bottle, and many times, they could only try their luck at the auction.

Mack tightly held the alchemy potion in her hand and asked excitedly, “Miss Audrey, is what you said true? Does this bottle of alchemy potion really have such a strong effect?”

A bottle of alchemy potion could allow a level 5 or below fighter to break through a level directly. Moreover, a fighter below level 8 had a 50% chance of breaking through a level after using it. What a huge effect it was.

If what Audrey said was true, then this bottle of alchemy potion was scarce, even among all of the tier 1 alchemy potions.

And there were not many alchemists in Spark City who could refine such a rare tier 1 alchemy potion.

The alchemist profession was quite honorable in this world, just like the mages on Earth.

In a sense, the alchemists in this world were even more honorable than the mages on Earth because there were no mages in this world, only alchemists.

And all the Beyonder items in this world were refined by alchemists.

For example, potions, Beyonder weapons, strange machines, and carriers…

Alchemists practically controlled the production and distribution of all the Beyonder items in this world. Every alchemist was an extremely rare talent. Any alchemist would receive the courtesy and respect of the various large families.

An alchemist with no faction backing him would be immediately roped in by the various large factions the moment he appeared.

Alchemists naturally had different levels. They were divided into Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3, Tier 4, Tier 5, Tier 6, Tier 7, Tier 8, and Tier 9.

Tier 1 was the lowest, while Tier 9 was the highest.

For example, a Tier 1 alchemist could refine a level 1-10 Beyonder item.

And a Tier 2 alchemist could refine a level 11-20 Beyonder item.

…

And so on.

Legend has it that the strongest alchemist in the Jones Empire was a Tier 5 advanced alchemist who could refine a level 41-50 Beyonder item.

The emperor of the empire called the legendary alchemist the empire’s Sagemaster, granting him the title of First-class Duke and various pardons.
