Alchemies

Chapter 45: Given

"What's? That's Lily's Spirit Cleaner?"

"Cannot be. It's a flower that gives you a sea of spirituals and feelings?"

Ma Rong looked at the unclear voices of the elders and waited until they calmed down. As soon as the voices stopped talking, he spoke,

“Yes, this is Spirit Cleansing Lily, and the one who got this is my disciple.” He continued, "What do you think contributes to finding one of these for this sect?"

The audience was confused by the question. As far as they knew, no one could choose the Spirit Cleansing Lily Flower without hurting it. There were only lucky people who chose it, but it was more luck than technique.

“Is your disciple lucky, sect leader?” one of the elders asked.

"No, this is the third lily she picked from what she told me. He had already used one lily for himself, and found another lily for someone he met in one of his hunts."

The Great Elder himself was curious, "Is this about what he said in that forest, the sect leader? About him being able to find any materials?" The Great Elder also saw a bag full of materials that Alex had collected in the forest.

The sect leader simply nodded.

"Then, his contribution to the sect was beyond imagination. An alchemist who possessed spiritual awareness was dozens of times better than an alchemist who did not possess it. If the sect leader gets it now, it will increase your abilities a lot. You might actually be able to concoct a Heaven-level True Pill." The Great Elder said in shock.

The first elder spoke, "What about this, the sect leader. Since your disciple's contribution is unimaginable, we can give him free access to everything in the sect, but he still has to go through normal procedures to become a core disciple. How much longer?" should he make 20 different high-tier mortal pills?"

The sect leader chuckled when he heard this. The Great Elder and the other 2 elders also smiled wryly.

The sect leader looked at the others and asked, “What do you think of the first elder's suggestion?”

The elders felt it was the right choice. Although his contribution was unimaginable, one did not become a core disciple just because of his contribution. If the sect leader disciple was made a disciple, based on that, then it would be unfair for the other disciples studying alchemy day and night.

So, all the elders began to voice their agreement towards the first elder's words. Ma Rong thought for a moment and realized that they were right.

'I was in a hurry in my excitement, ' he thought. "All right then. We'll do what you say. From now on, my disciple, Yu Ming will have unhindered access to everything in the sect, aside from the sect treasures of course."

“All the elders working in the garden themselves to stop. Only keep the elders who take care of the garden and care for it, and not pick the ingredients.”

The elders are confused. “Hah, then who will take the ingredients, sect leader?” they ask.

"My disciples will do it. He had an incredible ability to recognize alchemy materials, and now that he had spiritual awareness, it would be much faster for him to conduct quests, compared to the other elders and disciples." She said.

Have you ever thought about how we would do it, sect leader? ask the Great Elder.

“Ya,” replied Ma Rong, “Every day, we will ask the disciples to ask for what they need, and put it in the list. And that night, my students will go around the park looking for the ingredients. It's only for 2 weeks because I want to see how good my students really are."

The elders paused for a moment and then accepted it. If a disciple could find the Spirit Enhancer lily, then it would be best to let that disciple do all the alchemy picking. Besides, he had a spiritual feeling.

He was already better than most elders at finding materials based solely on that.

"All right then. The meeting's over. You can all leave now" said Ma Rong. All the elders slowly began to say goodbye to him and left the room.

“I'll say goodbye too, sect leader.” The first elder also left. Only the sect leader and the grand elder were left in the room.

The grand elder let out a long sigh and spoke, "What are you doing, Ma Rong? You will be hostile towards the elders if you decide to take such a decision at random. They will look at it when you give priority over your students compared to others. They already thought you made Lang Shun an elder just because he was the brother of your junior disciple but did not dare to voice it."

Ma Rong was silent for a moment and then spoke, "But master, Wen Cheng did not lie when he said Yu Ming was a genius. He had made a 16% harmony pill on the first day he tried alchemy. It was 7 a few days after he joined the sect."

The eyes of the great elder widened, “are you sure he's not just lying?” She asked.

"No, he didn't. I checked his sales records, and he actually sold 7 Spirit Enhancing Pills that ranged from 12% to 16% harmony the day after he bought the ingredients. He was a genius in alchemy who appeared once in a thousand years. Now that he had opened his spiritual awareness this morning, he should have gotten a lot better."

“I will teach him well from tomorrow, and I am sure he will rise very quickly.” Ma Rong said.

“Ho... If my great disciple is truly talented, then I can't wait to see what he can do in the future.”
