Chapter 59：Granted (1/2)
”What? That's the Spirit Cleansing Lily?”
”No way. That is the flower that gives you spiritual sea and sense?”
Ma Rong looked at the elders' incoherent noises and waited for them to quiet down. Once the voices stopped talking, she spoke,
”Yes, this is the Spirit Cleansing Lily, and the one who got this is my disciple.” She continued, ” What do you think is the contribution to finding one of these for the sect?”
The crowd was stumped on that question. No one had ever been able to pick out a Spirit Cleansing Lily without harming it as far as they knew. There were only the occasional lucky people who did pick them, but that was more luck than technique.
”Did your disciple get lucky, sect leader?” one of the elders asked.
”No, this was the third lily he picked from what he has told me. He has already used one for himself, and found another for someone he met during one of his hunts.”
The Great Elder himself was curious, ”Is this about what he said back in that forest, sect leader? About him being able to find any ingredients?” The Great Elder had also seen the bag full of ingredients that Alex had gathered in the forest.
The sect leader simply nodded.
”Then the contribution to the sect is beyond imagination. An alchemist with a spiritual sense can is dozens of times better than an alchemist without one. If sect leader were to gain one now, it would increase your ability by a lot. You might actually be able to make heaven-grade True pills.” The Great Elder said in shock.
The first elder spoke, ”how about this, sect leader. Since your disciple's contribution is unimaginable, we can give him free access to everything in the sect, but he must still go through the normal procedure to become a core disciple. How long will it take him to make the 20 different high-tier mortal grade pills?”
The sect leader chuckled a little when she heard this. The Great Elder and the other 2 elders smiled wryly too.
The sect leader looked at the others and asked, ”What do you guys think about the first elder's suggestion?”
The elders felt that was the correct choice. While his contribution was unimaginable, one didn't become a core disciple on contribution alone. If the sect leader's disciple was made one, based on it, then it would be unfair to the other disciple who was learning alchemy day and night.
So, all the elders started voicing their agreement to the first elder's words. Ma Rong thought for a bit and realized they were right.
'I got hasty in my excitement,' she thought. ”Very well, then. We will do what you guys say. From now on, my disciple, Yu Ming will have unobstructed access to everything in the sect, aside from the sect treasure of course.”
