55 Alchemy Dimension (1/2)
Fasona looked at the information in shock. Arnin really was an Orange level Alchelmesit, and not only that, but he was also a Pink level Mark Master. This shocked her even more.
One was only able to become a Mark Master at Essence Manifest, and Arnin was just at Orb Birth. She had assumed that when Arnin mentioned being a Mark Master, he would just be an assistant.
Although Assistant Mark Masters were similar to the Apprentice Alchemists, and could be considered the same things, however there was one main difference. An Assistant Mark Master did not need to do a test, while an Apprentice Alchemist did. This didn't mean that one was harder then the other, but an alchemist needed to know lots of information before starting anything, while the process of making marks was very dependent on talent, and how hard one practiced.
Seeing that Arnin was a Pink, not Orange level Mark Master shocked her completely. 'T-this kid is a monster! How did he become a Pink level Mark Master at such a young age, and with such a low cultivation realm?' She just couldn't understand this.
Fasona was also very shocked by Arnin's Alchemist level. He had actually passed the tests. This made her feel extremely wierd. She had wanted to take Arnin under her as an Apprentice so that she could train him until he made it into the official Alchemist ranks, but Arnin had done all of this much quicker than she could ever imagine.
Six hours! He took only about six hours to pass both the Apprentice and Orange level tests. 'Monster!' She couldn't help but repeat this. Arnin really was a monster in the eyes of Fasona.
Arnin had reincarnated into Afloria to level up his cultivation so it could help him break through his Demon Lord cultivation. However, he retained all of his memories, meaning he still remembered all of his skills from his Demon Lord life. Previously, he was considered one of the best Alchemists in the Universe, so passing the Orange test would not be considered something impressive. Rather if he didn't pass, that would be remarkable.
Fasona calmed her rampaging heart, and grabbed the sphere, heading back to where Arnin was. She saw him standing there causally. For some reason, this action of his made her really want to beat him up.
'Do you know how hard I had to work to get to where I am? It took me dozens of years, but you took six hours just to become an official Alchemist. Why don't you show some sort of happiness!?' Arnin's apathy really infuriated her.
Arnin didn't know what was going on Fasona's head, and he honestly didn't care. He was unhappy with the results he got in the test. He could have completed the test in mere minutes, if he had proper control of the Flames of Neutrality, that is. The flames were extremely difficult to manage, but their effects were amazing.
Arnin had prior experience with controlling flames for pill making, which was why it didn't take him too much time to learn how to roughly control the Flames of Neutrality, however that wasn't enough. If he had better control over the flames, he could have made more than twenty Orange level Water pills. His control was lacking, which only enabled him to create five in one batch. This disappointed him greatly.
Another thing that bugged him was his result in the Orange level test. Although he passed, he just barely did so. The test wanted him to create an Orange level pill, and Arnin did that, but he almost destroyed all the herbs in the process. Unfortunately, he was only able to create a total of ten Orange level cultivation pills.
If Fasona could listen to Arnin's thoughts, she would have collapsed by now. One must know that the cultivation pills were extremely difficult to make, and she too could only make ten if she put all of her effort into making them. She would have sliced Arnin with a blade if she discovered his disappointment with such a number.
Shaking his head, Arnin continued to wait for Fasona. A few moments later, he saw her walking over with a bright smile. Her face was glowing, but Arnin saw her upper lip subtly twitch.
He extended his arm for the sphere. ”Have you seen enough? As you can see, I passed the tests, and am now an alchemist.” Arnin grabbed the sphere as she handed it to him, and placed it back in his robe.
”You really are something. With such skills, it's no wonder a Moth teacher would support you instead of a Butterfly teacher.” Fasona spoke. Almost every Butterfly teacher knew about Xillar taking Arnin's side over Lod's when Arnin had come to snatch a student. At first, even Fasona was surprised by such actions, but now, she completely understood the reason. Arnin was just too talented.
”Well, since I am done the test, do I receive anything? Like an alchemy manual, or cauldron?” Arnin received his own place to work in the Mark Master departement, and he also received a mark making manual, so he assumed that he would also receive something from the Alchemy department.
”Of course you will get some things. I will take you over to the main Alchemy building where all of us work. We have tons of books there that can be used by alchemists, and it has lots of space for new alchemists as well.” When Fasona spoke about the Alchemy department, her eyes began to slightly shine. She herself was an alchemist of a very high rank, and one could see the pride she felt when mentioning the alchemist building.
Arnin nodded his head and walked back to the first floor with Fasona. She didn't purchase anything, and instead went straight towards the exit. Both of them walked for about fifteen minutes, before reaching a small building. It was much larger than the houses for the Moth students, but it was still smaller then the two main building for Moth and Butterfly students. Arnin speculated that it was about the same size as the academy library.
The walls were made from a grey wood with some green stone pillars. The roof was flat, which made it difficult to see what it was made from. There were no windows, or any openings for that matter, that would allow for one to look through to the other side.
Arnin nodded his head, and followed Fasona towards the gates that were similar to the ones used in the library. There was even a scanner on the side, however this time, it matched the one that Arnin saw during the Apprentice test.
It had a large hole that was shaped like a hexagon. Fasona walked up and placed her blue prism into it. Just like when Arnin had placed his sphere, the hexagonal hole began to change shape and firmly held onto the prism.
*CREAK*
The large doors that seemed to be made of some extremely dark stone began to open up. He heard a deep rumbling sound and even the pebbles that hid in the swaying grass began to jump around.
Arnin didn't show much of a reaction to the happenings. It wasn't super impressive to someone like him.
When the doors finally opened, Arnin was unable to see inside. It looked as though a black wall was placed there to prevent others from seeing the inside.
”What is this? Why can't I see anything?” He looked at Fasona and asked. With his low cultivation level, he was not able to discern what was going on.
”Ignore that. Just follow me, and you will enter the building.” Fasona smiled before walking straight towards the black wall. Arnin followed without hesitation.
Fasona was the first to reach the barrier, and when she went towards it, Arnin found that she walked through the black wall without any resistance. He was next, and just calmly walked through it as well.
When he touched the barrier, it felt as though touching the surface of water. He walked through and felt as though he entered a pool. Arnin was very surprised that such a lace could have this type of mechanism.
Darkness surrounded Arnin's eyes, and even with his amazing vision, he wasn't able to see a thing. He didn't move in any other direction, as it felt as though something was dragging him along onto the right path. It was all very mysterious.
Finally, a yellow light shined onto Arnin's face. Arnin looked around and couldn't help but feel slightly astonished.
'So this place is the Alchemy building? Impressive.' Arnin looked around and felt as though he had entered into another world. The place looked nothing like a building. There were neither walls nor ceilings. Arnin found that there was a blue sky looking over the place, with green grass went as far as the eye could see.
People were walking around, carrying cauldrons, pills, and herbs. Fires were erupting left and right. Sometimes, a cauldron would explode, other times, pills appeared. The place was extremely beautiful, and looked just like the outside world.
