Chapter 11：Alchemists (1/2)

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.”
