Seeing this blue flame, Sofia Carrillo’s mouth hung open in surprise!
Ever since she had produced her green spiritual fire, she had always been incredibly proud!
Without exaggeration, Sofia had never seen anyone with a spiritual fire stronger than hers!
Not only Sofia, but numerous alchemists in the room were also whispering and discussing.
“It’s actually a blue spirit fire! No wonder he was invited by the Fifth Elder!”
“Even in the Divine Alchemist Pavilion, there can’t be many people who possess a blue spirit fire, right?”
“I guess only the First Elder and the Pavilion Master are above Ethan Smith.”
Ethan Smith put away his spiritual fire and smiled faintly, “Little girl, do you still think I relied on back channels to get in here?”
Sofia’s face changed color, and then she bowed slightly to Ethan Smith, admitting, “I was presumptuous.”
The Fifth Elder seemed quite satisfied with this as well, a smile of unspeakable contentment spread across his face.
“Alright, everyone, that’s enough. You all can leave now.” The Fifth Elder waved his hand.
Then, he turned to Ethan Smith and Sofia, saying, “You two, follow me.” The two followed behind the Fifth Elder, leaving the great hall.
The Fifth Elder led the two on a tour of the Divine Alchemist Pavilion, giving a brief introduction.
It included places like the Medicine Storage and the Alchemist Room.
“Fifth Elder, what is the difference between an ordinary alchemist and a Master Pharmacist?” Sofia asked.
The Fifth Elder chuckled, “The main difference is their status. Master
Pharmacists have the highest positions among alchemists, other than the
Elders and the Pavilion Master.”
“Moreover, they have different offerings. Master Pharmacists have a monthly salary of 100,000 and, in addition, will receive three hundred-year medicinal materials.”
“As for ordinary alchemists, they only have a monthly salary of 30,000, as well as one medicinal material.”
Ethan Smith nodded slightly upon hearing this.
He wasn’t too concerned about the money. All he needed were the medicinal materials, even if he had to pay for them himself.
“There are countless people who come to the Divine Alchemist Pavilion for medicine every day. Since the two of you have just arrived, you naturally have to undertake related tasks.” The Fifth Elder said.
Then, the Fifth Elder stretched out his finger and pointed to a small house not far away. “That’s the clinic. The majority of those who come here for treatment are usually influential figures.”
“Of course, you don’t have to be too nervous. No matter how big the figure is, they all have to lower their status in front of the Divine Alchemist Pavilion.” The Fifth Elder said with a trace of pride.
Just as the Fifth Elder said, a martial artist might not seem like much in the eyes of ordinary people.
However, an alchemist with superb medical skills will be respected by people from all walks of life.
After all, everyone’s life is only one, and no one wants to die.
“For now, let’s consider the two of you a team.” The Fifth Elder said. Sofia Carrillo promptly nodded, “Yes, Fifth Elder.”
At this moment, Ethan Smith suddenly thought of something.
He looked at the Fifth Elder and said, “Fifth Elder, I might not be able to stay in the Divine Alchemist Pavilion all the time.”
For Ethan Smith, he had only one purpose for coming to the Divine Alchemist Pavilion – to obtain its resources.
As for the alchemy techniques of the Divine Alchemist Pavilion, they meant nothing to Ethan Smith.
The Fifth Elder didn’t seem surprised. He chuckled, “The Divine Alchemist Pavilion doesn’t have a requirement for you to stay compulsorily. However, once the Pavilion summons you, you must return.”
At this point, the Fifth Elder paused and continued, “Of course, you still have to stay here for the first month at least.”
“One month?” Ethan Smith furrowed his eyebrows.
“Is that a problem?” The Fifth Elder asked.
Ethan Smith gave a bitter smile, “I… I might leave at any time. A month is too long for me.”
What a joke. Ethan Smith didn’t have much time left. Moreover, there were too many variables in a month.
(Minus Line Break)
The Fifth Elder seemed to have seen through Ethan Smith’s thoughts. He looked Ethan Smith up and down, then said somewhat helplessly, “I see. So what you mean is you’d like to come and go as you please. Is that right?”
Ethan Smith blushed slightly.
That was indeed what he meant.
Tsk tsk, talk about abhorrence for one’s own ability!” The Fifth Elder rolled his eyes.
“Ethan Smith, let me tell you, the Divine Alchemist Pavilion has lectures every month, and they teach pill formulas.” The Fifth Elder reminded. Ethan Smith shook his head, “Fifth Elder, I don’t need pill formulas.”
The Fifth Elder sighed, “Ethan Smith, you really are an eccentric.”
After thinking for a moment, he continued, “I can’t decide on this matter. You’ll have to talk to the Pavilion Master in person when she returns.” Ethan Smith hurriedly asked, “When will the Pavilion Master return?”
The Fifth Elder said, “It should be within these few days.”
“Okay, thank you.” Ethan Smith nodded.
Then, the Fifth Elder ordered someone to arrange living quarters for Ethan Smith.
As a Master Pharmacist, Ethan Smith’s quarters were naturally not shabby.
Although it couldn’t compare to the Elder’s residence, his mansion was quite comfortable and quiet.
Sofia’s mansion happened to be next door, and, in comparison, her mansion appeared somewhat rundown.
After returning to the mansion, Edward Green exclaimed in awe, “Mr. Smith, the Divine Alchemist Pavilion is truly extraordinary. I’ve never seen such rich qi before.”
Ethan Smith nodded as well, “Indeed, the qi of the Divine Alchemist Pavilion far surpasses other places.”
It was unknown how many medicinal materials were stored in the Divine Alchemist Pavilion. The qi that the materials released was refreshing and invigorating.
Ethan Smith didn’t waste any time. He sat cross-legged on the Arhat bed and began to absorb the qi from the Divine Alchemist Pavilion.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
As usual, Ethan Smith went jogging around the Divine Alchemist Pavilion this morning.
Just then, Ethan Smith suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart.
The pain flashed by but left Ethan Smith in unbearable pain.
“What… What’s going on?” Ethan Smith clutched his chest, crouching down.
He tried to sense his body but found nothing abnormal.
This feeling made Ethan Smith uneasy.
He stood in place for a long time, and a faint, indescribable uneasiness filled his heart.
“Mr. Smith, the Third Elder has asked for you.” At this moment, an alchemist approached and said.
“Third Elder?” Ethan Smith furrowed his brow.
It seemed that he didn’t know the Third Elder, and he had never met him before.
“I understand.” Ethan Smith didn’t think too much about it, and after nodding, he rushed to the Elder’s residence.
Upon entering the Third Elder’s residence, Ethan Smith found that Sofia was also there.
And right in front of Sofia sat an old man with long eyebrows.
“Greetings, Third Elder.” Ethan Smith approached and greeted the old man with long eyebrows.
The Third Elder slowly opened his eyes and said, “Someone has made an appointment for treatment today, but I don’t have time for it.”
“I’ve heard that you’re newly arrived alchemists and have spiritual fires.
Ethan Smith didn’t think much about it and immediately agreed and nodded.
The two of them left the Elder’s residence and headed for the clinic.
The Divine Alchemist Pavilion’s clinic was enormous. Although officially open to the public, poor people had no chance of entering.
Ethan Smith and Sofia Carrillo entered the clinic and sat down, waiting for the patient to arrive.
“People say that Third Elder’s character isn’t very good, and he’s extremely jealous. I don’t know if that’s true or not.” Sofia said without any facial expression.
Ethan Smith glanced at her and laughed, “Who cares? It has nothing to do with us.”
Sofia shot a glance at Ethan Smith and snorted softly, “I’m just worried that he’s setting us up..”
