Chapter 1891 Kieran then explained, “Sky Dull City is not a very big city, but it’s a pretty famous one.”
“You’re saying that there are alchemists there?”
Jackie was taken aback. He quickly thought of something and immediately asked Kieran.
“Sky Dull City is famous because the people in that lake city all advocate alchemy,” Kieran said, smiling. “Furthermore, that’s a place where alchemists frequently go to trade. There’ll be people going there to sell or buy materials used in alchemy, including alchemy stoves and even alchemy formulae. People sell those there!”
“There’s actually a place like that? Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
Jackie was excited after he heard that.

Kieran quickly explained, “Master, I only found out that you were an alchemist yesterday. Besides, we were so busy yesterday as we had just finished battling the enemy and I was busy cleaning up the spoils of war. I didn’t have the time to tell you about this either. However, most of the people in Sky Dull City are first-grade elementary alchemists or those who wish to learn alchemy. It’s very rare to have second- grade alchemists!”
Jackie pondered for a moment before asking, “Oh, right. What about the bigger sects? Do they have alchemists too?”
“Of course they do,” Kieran immediately replied.” But there’s not many of them. Usually, it’s considered good if they have a third-grade elementary alchemist. There are very few third grade intermediate alchemists, and I don’t think there is a single third-grade premium alchemist. This is because even in
bigger sects, there aren’t many in the soul-penetrating realm who are interested in alchemy. Of course, even fewer people from the ultimate god realm are interested!”
Kevin nodded his head. “If there are third-grade premium alchemists in the sect, then there’ll be many people who are in the first or second-grade soul-penetrating realm. If many people wish to break into the fifth or sixth-grade soul-penetrating realm, they need a fourth-grade alchemist. Otherwise, they can only slowly cultivate themselves over time!

Kieran nodded his head and told Jackie, “It’s extremely rare to find an alchemical master like you, Master. If you’re able to make a breakthrough and become a fourth-grade elementary alchemist, Master, I guarantee that you’ll be the very first fourth -grade alchemist in the world, and there’ll be no one stronger than you. Of course, you’re very strong now too. That’s why the Vice-master has completely submitted to you!”
“All right. Then let’s visit Sky Dull City. At any rate, we’ll probably be able to arrive there by noon if we go now, and we’ll see if we can select people to come to our sect in the afternoon. We’ll have to hurry back the next morning. We don’t have much time. If we were to spend one day, let’s make it a fruitful day. We need to seize the moment!”
After Jackie made the decision, he flipped his palm and threw his sword into the sky. The flying sword then turned bigger and the three hopped onto it.
The flying sword was already fast, to begin with, and now that Jackie’s cultivation level had increased, it was even faster now.
At first, Jackie had estimated that they would only get there by noon. He did not expect to arrive at the entrance of Sky Dull City in two hours.
“Your weapon’s flying speed is amazing, Master. I didn’t think we would arrive so quickly!”
The three jumped down from the flying sword, and Kieran said excitedly, “I’ve also wanted to come here long ago, but I had no purpose to do so, that’s why I didn’t. I really didn’t think that I would actually come here with you today, Master, as the First Elder of the Nine Gods clan!”
Chapter 1892 “I never thought that there would actually be a place like this! This is practically a paradise for us, alchemists!
Kevin looked at the modest-sized fortress, excitement was etched onto his expression.

When the three walked to the entrance of the city, they saw many people selling their wares at the gates.
“Second-grade elementary sky dragon grass-no need to use spirited grass to exchange for it. You only need a hundred premium spirited stones!”
A fatty began to hawk his wares as he sat cross legged on the ground.
“Seriously? Using a hundred premium-grade spirited stones to buy a single stalk of sky dragon grass? Aren’t you just ripping people off? You’re being a little too greedy, Brother.”
Here, a few people also walked over, and one of them began to nag and scold the fatty.
The fatty just gave a wan smile. “You have no idea that this is a thousand years old, Brother,” he said. “It may be of a lower grade, but it’s not easy to find such spirited grass either. I think something a thousand years old would be worth that price, no?”
“A thousand years? That sounds about right if it’s truly a thousand years. It’s easy to find sky dragon grass that’s over a hundred years old, but it’s not easy to find one that is a thousand years old!
The people nodded their heads and said.
Of course, there were people selling weapons, and they also were promoting their wares. The area grew busy.
After Jackie thought about it, he asked Kieran, “First Elder, let’s go and recruit people to learn alchemy. How should we go about it?”
“There are not many people here, Master, and it’s a little more chaotic as anyone sells anything,” Kieran said, smiling. “If you want to recruit alchemists, there’s a designated plaza in the middle of the city. We just need to place a plate there and explain which sect we’re from and that we’re recruiting disciples who have talent in alchemy.”
Here, Kieran spoke confidently, “Don’t worry. Some casual trainers who wish to learn alchemy, naturally wish to join a sect, all so that there’ll be someone to teach them alchemy and that they’ll improve their alchemy. That’s why since we’re here, we’ll definitely be able to recruit many people!”
Jackie released an internal sigh of relief after he heard this. They all walked toward the plaza in the middle of the city.
After a while, they came to the plaza in the middle of the city and found a plate, writing their overall circumstances onto it. Then they sat down beneath a willow tree.
After they sat down, Jackie carefully observed his surroundings. Only then did he realize that there were truly plenty of people who were recruiting others to learn alchemy.
Soon, a young woman walked over and stopped before Jackie and the others.
“The Nine Gods clan? When recruiting people to learn alchemy, it’s best if you have some experience In alchemy yourself. It’ll be best if you’re a first grade or second-grade alchemist!”
Chapter 1893 The girl looked at the words on the plate and could not help but frown. “Why haven’t I heard of this sect? The Nine Gods clan? Don’t tell me that it’s not even a third-class sect?”
Kevin quickly stood up when he saw that a person had finally come by. “Our sect was established not too long ago, young lady,” he introduced. “We just established ourselves yesterday, but don’t you think that such a sect is more attractive, with its potential to grow?”
The girl’s expression twisted into disdain when she heard this. “I may be a casual trainer, but I’m already a first-grade premium alchemist. I have good talent in alchemy, so forget about a new clan like you. I intend to find someone who’s at least a third-grade elementary alchemist to teach me. Only an alchemist like that would be able to nurture me!”
Kevin’s eyes brightened when he heard this. “Our sect would be perfect for you then, young lady,” he said, chuckling, “I may not be a third-grade alchemist, but I’m getting there soon. I’m just a few steps away…”
Before Kevin could finish his sentence, the girl cut in impatiently, “Don’t you know of the saying, ‘a millimeter missed is a kilometer gone? If you aren’t a third grade elementary alchemist yet, then you’re far from it. There are plenty of people who are second -grade premium alchemists, but there aren’t many who are third-grade. I can even become a master like this!
Kevin saw that she was about to leave and immediately stepped forward to stop her. “I haven’t finished yet, young lady. No need to be in a rush,” he said. “I may not be a third-grade alchemist, but our master is. He’s not just a third-grade alchemist—he’s a third-grade premium alchemist!”
“Your master is an alchemist? Who? Why haven’t I heard of this? Which sect’s master would also be an alchemist?
The girl seemed to be interested after she heard this, and she stopped to ask him.
Kevin then looked at Jackie and gave a warm smile.” This is our master. He’s young and handsome, and he has a high cultivation level. Furthermore, he has excellent talent in alchemy. He’s going to become a fourth-grade alchemist sooner or later!”
Suddenly, the girl’s words attracted a few people,
“No way. There are scammer sects like this? That’s terrible. Are they pretending to be third-grade premium alchemists to trick us into joining before getting us to make pills for them? It’ll be too late by the time we realize. We might not even be able to escape then!”
A man began to make speculations.
“It’s not trustworthy information. I’ve never heard of the Nine Gods clan either. Who would dare to join such an insignificant sect? Who knows how terrible it’ll be there!
Another middle-aged woman also shook her head.” You should seek out reputable clans to join. Otherwise, if you join and can’t learn a single thing, or if you fight them once there’s animosity, you would be in danger!”
“Uh…”
It was evident that Kevin was in a difficult position. He furrowed his brows, not knowing what to do.
Jackie saw that more and more people had gathered, he then gave a cold smile and said, “Why don’t we try this? I’ll give a demonstration and create a third grade premium pill. After watching me, you can consider if you wish to join our can. Of course, it’s best if you know some of the basics. Those who can create first-grade or second-grade elementary pills are best!
After saying that, Jackie flipped his palm and took out his alchemy stove and materials.
Chapter 1894 Once Jackie’s words rang out, many eyes wandered toward his direction immediately. Sky Dull City was a haven for alchemists, and there were plenty of alchemists gathered here.
Even if the people who came here were not alchemists, they still knew plenty about the trade. Now that someone was calling himself a third-grade premium alchemist, everyone was practically sneering upon him.
Did he take them as uneducated idiots? Who were the third-grade premium alchemists? Not even two of them could be found in the entire Sky Dull City. Even if they were complete bullies, one must always treat third-grade premium alchemists with courtesy.
After all, third-grade premium alchemists could create pills that would help those in the soul penetrating realm. Alchemy was a respected profession in the cultivation world, and a third grade premium alchemist was the crème of the crop.
The people surrounded Jackie tightly in a flash, all their eyes pinned onto him.
There were even some who began discussing in a loud voice. A middle-aged man with a little goatee spoke to Jackie, “Did you eat some kind of crack, boy? Do you think that we don’t know anything? You say you’re a third-grade premium alchemist, and you think that we’ll believe you after putting up a little sign to recruit disciples? Which third grade premium alchemist doesn’t go through years of practice? They wouldn’t be as young as you.”
These words incited the surrounding people to agree, and a few added on, “Don’t shoot yourself in the foot and become a laughing stock. Don’t think that you can just create a pill, call it a third-grade premium pill and we’ll believe you!”
“That’s right! More than half of us here are alchemists. Maybe we’re not that well-versed in other matters, but we can definitely tell the grade of a pill.”
It was evident that not a single person believed that the young, handsome man before them was a third grade premium alchemist.
Jackie turned a deaf ear to all their questions. He took out all his alchemy materials and began to create pills as everyone watched.
The first step to alchemy was to control the concoction’s temperature; this was a skill that every alchemist must master first. Jackie’s technique was smooth, and he controlled the flame to a fine point after pouring the ingredients into the stove. Every single stalk of spirited grass melted into the concoction under the perfect temperature,
Most people could not perform this so smoothly. After all, upon a careful look, every spirited grass that Jackie was using was third grade!
Someone could not help but cry out when he saw the spirited grass that Jackie was using, “My God! Look! Amplified spirited grass! Thousand year corpse king flowers! Seven-color snow lotuses! This… Don’t tell me he’s creating a third-grade premium pill, the god -transfiguring pill!”
The people had plenty of knowledge, and Jackie purposely chose one type of pill, so long as it was a third-grade premium pill that all alchemists would know about
The formula for the god-transfiguring pill was not a secret. Everybody immediately understood which type of pill he was going to create after they saw the spirited grass and spirited flowers he was using.
“Is he serious!” The middle-aged man with a goatee spoke with a frown.
Everyone knew the formula to the god-transfiguring pill, however, knowledge was just knowledge. After all, it was a third-grade premium pill. Other than alchemists who were third-grade premium and above, no one else could create it.
“Don’t tell me he’s just doing it for show. After all, which self-respecting third-grade premium alchemist would go on the streets to recruit disciples? If he was a true third-grade premium alchemist, he wouldn’t be recruiting disciples on the streets-even if he just spread the word of intending to recruit disciples, people would be flooding his house!
Chapter 1895 “It must be for show. The brat’s method of creating the concoction is real enough and he should be an alchemist of a pretty high grade, but he’s definitely not a third-grade premium alchemist. If he were, he would not be out on the streets. The man with the goatee straightened his neck out, sneering as he spoke.
The discussions went on endlessly, and they all entered Kevin and Kieran’s ears. They held themselves back for the sake of the future.
However, the last sentence coming from the middle aged man with a goatee was spoken with a condescending and mocking expression. It was not simply a discussion.
Kevin gave a cold harrumph and glared at the middle -aged man with a goatee. “Just because you can’t do it doesn’t mean that others can’t. Just wait for the results to see if he succeeds or not. You keep rattling off non-stop. Do you want a beating?”
He had been irritated by the man with the goatee long ago. He had been rambling on from the start, and the more he spoke, the darker his tone was.
Goatee’s cultivation level was not as high as Kevin’s, as he was naturally not interested in cultivation when he specialized in alchemy. However, he was still unafraid of Kevin. After all, this was Sky Dull City, there were explicit rules where one could not resort to violence in the city. Otherwise, they would be caught and punished by the law enforcers, banned from Sky Dull City forever.
The more Kevin tried to go against him, the more Goatee wanted to suppress him. He stroked his long eyebrows and said, “Then let’s see what your so called master will be able to create!”
Jackie was not the least bit affected by whatever ruckus going around him. He had familiarized himself with the formula to create the god-transfiguring pill long ago, and his movements did not contain an ounce of hesitation as he created the concoction.
“He’s actually already at the third step; solidifying the pill! He did everything so easily to this step. Could he truly be a third-grade premium alchemist?” the girl cried out in surprise.
As her words rang out, the surroundings suddenly quieted down. Everyone had been continuously arguing among themselves, but they did not take notice of Jackie’s alchemy process. They did not think that he would reach the third step so quickly and easily, and this was the most important step, to solidify the pill.
The third step was to coagulate the herbal concoction so that it became a pill. No matter if he succeeded or not, the young man’s abilities were not to be questioned to be able to reach this step in creating the gods-transfiguring pill. He was a third grade elementary alchemist, at least.
Goatee tried to suppress the anxiety plucking his chest. After all, it was no small matter to offend a third- grade premium alchemist. After all, he would still be in Sky Dull City in the future.
The word of a third-grade premium alchemist in Sky Dull City was practically law; getting rid of him would be like stepping on an ant.
“It won’t happen! No way! No way! A third-grade premium alchemist would be worshipped in Sky Dull City. Why would they be unknown? This person must be cheating us!” Goatee could not help but mumble.
“Jeez! He’s already created half the pill. From his technique, he should be able to create a whole pill without using much time! He’s truly a third-grade premium alchemist!” The girl’s eyes sparkled as she spoke with delight.
She had originally been looking for a third-grade elementary alchemist as a master. She had not even dared to dream of getting a third-grade premium alchemist to become her master. After all, third grade premium alchemists were rare even in Sky Dull City.
She did not think that she would run into a third grade premium alchemist who wanted to take her in just by wandering the streets! She had truly hit the Jackiepot!
