Talent Swallowing System

Chapter 782 Guest Alchemist



Chapter 782 Guest Alchemist

"As for my last request, I want to become a Guest Alchemist of the Sect."

Since he got the chance, Leo didn't hold back as he asked for all the things that he wanted.

Of course, as far as he believed, all the changes he had made in his rewards were within an agreeable limit.

A High-level Golden Core Pill gives you a 75 percent success rate for a perfect Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator and as long as the cultivator has a mediocre talent, his success rate in breaking through would be as high as 90 percent.

In short, with a high-level Golden Core Pill, a mediocre Perfected Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator could be guaranteed to break through to the Golden Core Realm.

However, instead of one high-level Golden Core Pill, Leo asked for 10 mid-level Golden Core Pill which only has a 30 percent of success rate and adding to the success rate from the cultivator's mediocre cultivation talent, it would be an utmost 50 percent.

Of course, it seems like the perfected Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators still have a 50 percent success rate; however, the failure to break through to the Golden Core Realm would be so severe that it could lead to instant death just like Leo's predecessor.

As for the second request, instead of 10 Foundation Establishment Pills, Leo wanted some low-level Moon Stones. Even though the low-level Moon Stones are rare, in the sect, one could exchange a high-level Foundation Establishment Pill for some low-level Moon Stones. So, the elders didn't find it odd.

However, they frowned when they heard that Leo wanted one million low-level spirit stones instead of 10,000 mid-level spirit stones.

Even though the value between the two rewards remained the same, a mid-level spirit stone contains a pure form of moon energy that could not be available in the low-level spirit stones.

Hence, in the eyes of the elders standing in the courtyard, Leo's first and third requests seemed quite foolish; however, they didn't say anything as they looked at the Sect Leader.

These elders didn't have any problem with the changes that Leo asked for except for the last request of being the Guest Alchemist of the sect.

"First Elder, give him 10 mid-level Golden Core Pills, 100 low-level Moon Stones and one million low-level spirit stones."

As for the sect leader, he didn't think much of Leo's first three changes in his rewards as he ordered the First Elder to give him the rewards that Leo asked for.

"Yes, Sect Leader."

The first elder bowed and transmitted his voice into a communication talisman to inform someone from the Treasure Hall to bring the rewards for Leo.

"As for your last request, you need to follow the requirements for the position of the 'Guest Alchemist'."

The Sect Leader looked at Novan before replying to Leo, "However, I can't remove the requirement for staying in the sect for at least 10 years. As for the first two requirements, you need to be eligible for it. What do you say?"

"Thank you, Sect Leader. With my current skills in Alchemy, I believe I can fulfil the other requirements. Moreover, I forgot to mention something, Novan is a mid-level Rank 2 Alchemist that I nurtured."

Suddenly, Leo thought of Novan's mid-level rank 2 Alchemy rank and used it to his advantage.

"Yes, Sect Leader. I have learned so many things regarding alchemy. I can even refine the Barrier Breaking Pills and Life Essence Pills."

Before the sect leader could react to Leo's words, Novan added his words to Leo's statement.

After the enlightenment, just like Leo, Novan also gained access to some pill recipes; however, only those two pill recipes are rare and could be considered useful in the eyes of the sect leader and elders.

Hence, Novan said those two names.

"What? A 20-year-old Rank 2 alchemist?"

On the other hand, when they heard Leo's words, the sect leader and everyone around him were shocked.

What's more, when they heard the confirmation from Novan, they looked at Novan as though they were looking at some kind of monster.

Alchemy was considered one of the hardest side professions and at the same time, it was directly related to the way of cultivation.

Even if a cultivator has a lack of talent for cultivation, with the help of the pills refined by an alchemist, it would make things easier for that cultivator.

Moreover, it could help the cultivator catch up to the cultivation geniuses. Of course, it would be a bit of trouble in the higher realms, For a sect like the Lunar Sect that has hundreds of thousands of disciples, their need for cultivation pills was very high.

Since Novan was able to become a mid-level Rank 2 Alchemist at the age of 19, his chances of becoming a Rank 5 alchemist are very high.

Currently, there is only one rank 5 alchemist in the sect and even his success rate in refining the rank 5 pills was not high.

Also, he was nearing the end of his life and with the help of the life-prolonging treasures, the Lunar Sect was keeping him alive after 100 or so years, the regular life-prolonging treasures won't work on him anymore.

Hence, they believed that with Novan's age and talent, he could replace the current rank 5 alchemist as long as he was nurtured for a couple of centuries.

When this thought came to their heads, everyone became excited as they looked at Novan and believed, 'With such a monstrous talent in the way of cultivation and the Alchemy, without a doubt, he would become the sect leader of the Lunar Sect in the future.'

"Thanks for nurturing such a good disciple."

Suppressing his emotions, the Sect Leader didn't hesitate to thank Leo before saying, "Instead of 100 low-level moonstones, give him 1000 low-level moon stones along with 100 mid-level moon stones."

At the same time, the sect leader increased the reward that he was planning to give to Leo.

"What?"

Leo and the elders were shocked as Leo quickly suppressed his emotions and thanked the sect leader.

"What is your current alchemy rank and what is your success rate in refining the pills of that rank?"

The Sect Leader shook his head as he asked Leo two questions regarding his alchemy.

"I have been stuck at peak Rank 2 in my Alchemy and I believe that once I breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm, I can refine the rank 3 pills."

Leo said that lines that he had prepared for advanced as he continued, "As for the success rate for refining the rank 2 pills is 60 percent and in each batch of refinement, there will be at least 8 mid-level pills and two high-level pills."

"Huh? A success rate of 60 percent for Rank 2 Pills with 8:2 mid-level to high-level pills?"

Even though it was not a big achievement in the Lunar Sect, considering Leo's background and the lack of resources, the Sect Leader could not help but look at Leo in a new light.

'As long as he breakthroughs to the Golden Core Realm, his alchemy rank could be increased easily as he would have at least 500 years of his lifespan. I think it was not a problem to make him the Guest Alchemist of the sect.'

Even though the sect leader seemed like giving whatever Leo was asking, he had thought about everything and as long as he felt it was worth the exchange, the sect leader wouldn't mind.

Of course, it was Leo who planned everything to make the sect leader believe that it was worth rewarding Leo.

"You have met the requirements for becoming a Guest Alchemist. The First Elder will explain how the Guest Alchemist works and what are the things they could do and should not do."

Once he thought about everything, the sect leader granted Leo the last thing that he asked for, making Leo heave a sigh of relief as he hurriedly thanked the sect leader.

"Little one, are you willing to accept me as your master now?"

Once he had satisfied all the things that Leo wanted in front of Novan, the sect leader once again asked the same question that he asked when he first appeared in the courtyard.

"Novan, go on. From today onwards, the Lunar Sect will be your new home."

Before Novan could say anything, Leo indirectly told Novan to acknowledge the sect leader as his new master.

Even though Novan could become powerful by staying beside Leo, it would be quite difficult for Novan as he becomes more powerful.

However, by acknowledging the sect leader as his master and having an entire sect to back him, not only Novan would get the protection and resources, but he could get the inheritance of the Ancestor of the sect to break through to the Soul Transformation Realm and even Spirit Severing Realm.

"Novan acknowledged the sect leader as his master."

Novan took a deep bow as he acknowledged the sect leader as his master.

"Haha….today is a great day. The sect will host a small celebration party within the sect as I gained a new disciple."

Hearing Novan's acknowledgement, the sect leader became excited as he decided to host a party and of course, he didn't plan to announce it to the outside world.

Even though the Lunar Sect is powerful, the sect leader knew it was a bad idea to announce that Novan was a cultivation and alchemy genius.

On the other hand, Leo received an announcement from Heaven's Voice making him quite excited.
