Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy Chapter 2017 The Requirements

The dark fog surrounding Alex and the old man didn't seem real at all. It was like an illusion at best, but even illusions were sowhat real, made of light and Qi.

This one, though, seed fake. He couldn't explain it exactly. It was as if the thing shouldn't exist at all, and yet it did. He couldn't make sense of it. The old man looked at him expectantly, wanting so answers. Alex sighed and gave in. "I fainted last year, but after waking up, the elders allowed to take the test alone. They were impressed enough that I was allowed to join."

"They allowed you to join?" the man asked sothing in his mind poking at that information as he felt sothing odd about that. There was sothing there he had to know.

"Wait, but then why are you here?" the man asked.

"I was allowed to leave and go back whenever I wanted to," Alex said before placing back the two items in his hands. "You were allowed to leave?" the old man asked with an obviously surprised look.

"Yes," Alex said.

The man paused for a while, confused about the thing that was wrong in all of this. "So you didn't take the test because you already joined, huh?" he asked.

"Yes," Alex said. "But senior, I wish for no one else to know of this information, especially the other guilds, so please keep this information to yourself."

"Oh, okay," the man said. "But why?"

"It's just what I want," Alex answered. "I do not wish to be treated differently just because I joined a sect."

The old man nodded. "I suppose I understand," he said and then started chuckling a little. "And here I was so worried that you had given up or sothing, I ca to scold you for not taking the test."

The man laughed out loud next. "This is a very pleasant surprise."

Alex was surprised to see just how happy the man was. "I'm glad to know that senior isn't disappointed in ," he said.

"You don't have to say it like that," the man said and sighed. "I'm sorry I was so hard on you. I expect a lot from you as soone so young and full of potential. It seems I never had anything to worry about."

"I suppose that is it then. I will leave you to your task," he said. "I should return too."

The dark fog surrounding them seed to try and fade. But before it fully faded, Alex spoke.

"Actually, senior," Alex said quickly. "I had sothing to ask you."

The man paused, the fog returning all around him again. "What do you want to know?" he asked.

"I am thinking of taking the Supre Immortal Alchemist's test. Could you tell how I should proceed?" he asked. "Do I just show up and ask for the test, or is there a different procedure?"

"Supre Immortal Alchemist?" the man said, slightly surprised. "The requirent for that is quite high, and it will require you to have enough knowledge about Alchemy to do so major things."

"Such as?" Alex asked.

"I cannot tell you, as you aren't allowed to prepare for anything specifically. The only way to prepare for the Supre Immortal Alchemist test is to prepare for everything else in advance."

Alex nodded slowly, understanding why that was. "But how do I go about registering for the thing?" he asked.

"It… it is a little difficult," the man said, hesitating.

"Please tell . I do not care how difficult it is," he said. He had to get that rank soon in order to gain a ticket. That was more than enough reason.

"You need the written approval of 3 Supre Immortal Alchemists if you wish to take the test," the man said. "Gather them all up and request for a test in any official Alchemy guild. You will get to take the test then."

Alex was taken aback for a second. "I'm sorry, I need the approval of 3 Supre Immortal Alchemists just to take the test?" he asked.

The old man nodded. "That is the only way," he said.

Alex was flabbergasted. "Why is this information not laid out for others to see?" he asked.

"It's for the sake of the other Supre Alchemists," the man said. "If we tell everyone what the requirents are, soon we would be filled with requests from every alchemist to review their pills or help them see what is wrong with them. They will do anything they can to get our approval, and we just don't want that."

"As such, the requirents itself are relatively hidden. Do not tell the others this," the old man said.

"If they are supposed to be hidden, why tell , senior?" Alex asked.

The old man shrugged. "You are part of the Blue Silk sect now. If you want to find out, you can just go to your sect and ask the elders. They will tell you everything you need to know. They are the ones that make the rule after all."

"I see," Alex said. That made sense. He thought for a mont about who three to get the approval from.

There was obviously the guild master Blackfrost and Supre Alchemist Han, but who would be the third? Should he go for Guild Master Bluehorn? The man did ask him to request help if he wanted it.

If it was for the sake of his ticket, he didn't mind forgetting about the old man's past acts.

"You can't get my approval," the guild master said.

Alex gave a small smile. "I understand," he said. "But I was asking about the future. Do you want great pills or do you—"

"No, you don't understand," the man said quickly. "You can't get my approval. Not won't, can't."

Alex looked at the man weirdly. "I'm confused, senior. What are you trying to say?" he asked.

"That is the rule," the guild master said. "If you want to be Supre Immortal Alchemist, you need to get the approval for the test from 3 different Supre Immortal Alchemists that are not part of the guild or sect you joined. Which ans, I cannot be one of the people you get approval from."

Alex's eyes widened in pure horror. "Wait, so Supre Alchemist Han won't be able to help either?" he asked.

"No, he can't either," the old man said.

"Wait!" Alex said. "You said Sect? So I can't get the approval of anyone from my sect either?" The old man thought for a mont. "I'm not sure about the rule regarding that when it cos to your sect. Do ask them how it is handled since they will be the ones who made the rule."

Alex felt horrible. "I'm supposed to go around looking for strangers to get approval from then?" he asked. "How would I even do that?"

"That is up to you," the old man said. "I am sorry, but this is as much help as I can give you."

Alex quickly turned to look at the old man. "Please don't be sorry, senior. You have done the honor of telling about the requirents at least."

"The task of worrying about the rest is all up on . You do not have to worry on my behalf at all."
