Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 77: Alchemist Guild

Chapter 77: Chapter 77: Alchemist Guild

Jovie Lee led Wyatt to her home.

After a month, Wyatt saw the old man again.

"I didn’t expect you to have a breakthrough so soon."

Although Jovie have told him about Wyatt’s breakthrough last night, upon seeing Wyatt in person, the old man still couldn’t contain his surprise.

A sixteen-year-old in the first level of the Condensed Pill Realm...

Such a talent.

Even if you look across the entire Crimson Heaven Kingdom, it’s a rare occurrence.

If he knew that there was another sixteen-year-old warrior in the Condensed Pill Realm in Wyatt’s family, he wouldn’t know what to feel.

"Grandpa, I can refine the Pill Medicine to cure your chronic disease today... However, I need a medicine tripod. Being an Artifact Refiner, you must have a collection, right?"

Wyatt blinked, a hint of mischief in his smile.

"You little rascal, aiming for my property. I do have a medicine tripod here, and it’s also an eight-grade spiritual artifact. But, are you really capable of refining Pill Medicine?"

Doubts shone in the old man’s eyes.

Without uttering any more words, Wyatt lifted his palm upwards.

Activating his Origin Force.

The next moment, it was as if the Martial Emperor reincarnated...

He skillfully transformed his Origin Force into a milky flame.

It was precisely a ninth-grade red flame.

The various grades of alchemists are based on the red flame to be rated.

"This... This is a ninth-grade red flame! You really are unpredictable, kid."

The old man gave Wyatt a long look, "If you really can refine a Pill Medicine that cures my chronic disease, it won’t hurt to give you the medicine tripod!"

"Grandpa, wasn’t that tripod left to you by your teacher?"

Jovie Lee knitted her brows slightly, knowing the significance of that tripod to her grandpa.

"Grandpa, if that tripod is really significant to you, we can leave it aside. I can just casually refine my own tripod to play with."

With a smile to the old man, Wyatt didn’t want to take what others cherished.

"No worries, that tripod was the pinnacle creation of my teacher. Keeping it with me is like burying a pearl in the dust. Wouldn’t it be better if it shined in your hands... But Wyatt, did you just say you’d casually refine a tripod to play with? Don’t tell me you can also condense ’Artifact Fire’."

The old man gave Wyatt a strange look.

Swoosh!

The red flame in Wyatt’s palm transformed and went rampant, and the surrounding air seemed to heat up all of a sudden.

"Ninth-grade Artifact Fire!"

Being an Artifact Refiner, the old man naturally knew the difference between red flame and Artifact Fire.

Red flame is more introverted.

While Artifact Fire tends to be unruly and ostentatious.

"You...you..."

The old man’s breath became ragged, slightly gasping for air.

Condensing red flame and Artifact Fire using Origin Force requires several years of hard work, even for alchemists and Artifact Refiners with exceptional talents.

The young man in purple in front of his eyes completely overturned his understanding of alchemists and Artifact Refiners.

Back then, it took him five years to successfully condense his Origin Force into a red flame.

Even so, his teacher said he had extraordinary talents.

"Grandpa, don’t get too excited."

Wyatt retracted his Artifact Fire and smiled.

Jovie Lee, who was standing next to him, had been utterly stupefied. Although she is neither an alchemist nor an Artifact Refiner, she has been influenced by her grandpa since childhood. She knows how difficult it is to become an alchemist or Artifact Refiner of a certain grade.

However, everything she witnessed overthrew what her grandpa had told her in the past.

"I’ve really lived for nothing all these years."

The old man caught his breath and smiled bitterly.

Wyatt quickly changed the subject. "Grandpa, the Pill Medicine I’m going to refine for you requires some rare medicinal ingredients that are not sold in ordinary pharmacies... Is there an Alchemist Guild in Aurora City?"

As he spoke, his gaze fell on another badge next to the Lee Family crest on the old man’s body.

He recognized it.

It was a nine-grade Artifact Refiner badge issued by the ’Artifact Refiners Guild’.

With this badge, no matter where he goes in the whole Cloud Skies Continent, he can receive high treatment.

He remembered that the Grand Elder of the Lee Family branch in Qingfeng Town, ’Kayson Lee’, also always had an Alchemist Guild badge on his chest, indicating his identity as a nine-grade alchemist.

"You want to buy medicinal ingredients from the Alchemist Guild?"

The old man furrowed his brows slightly, "As far as I know, the medicinal ingredients in the Alchemist Guild cannot be purchased directly with money, they must be acquired with the unique points of the Alchemist Guild."

"I know that."

Wyatt nodded.

What a joke.

Back then, the Martial Emperor was the only Emperor Grade alchemist in the Cloud Skies Continent.

He was also the ’Honorary Chairman’ of the Alchemist Guild’s head office in the Cloud Skies Continent.

He couldn’t be clearer about the affairs of the Alchemist Guild.

To earn points from the Alchemist Guild, you must contribute to the guild, such as completing tasks published by the guild, or offering rare prescriptions, all can earn considerable points.

The old man gave Wyatt an address.

Wyatt left the Lee Family mansion.

Jovie Lee followed Wyatt out of curiosity.

"Is this dump the Alchemist Guild?"

Arriving at the end of a small alley, looking at the dilapidated building in front of him, Wyatt’s mouth twitched.

However, the next moment, Jovie Lee’s words left Wyatt speechless.

"Right, it’s better than the Artifact Refiners Guild."

Jovie Lee looked at the crumbling building and commented.

Wyatt Barnes could imagine that the Artifact Refiner’s Guild of Aurora City would be even more impressive...

However, as he entered the Alchemist Guild, it was entirely different from what he pictured.

The hall was somewhat rundown, but very neat.

As they walked in, aside from a young girl standing behind a counter in the distance, there was no one else around.

The two walked up to the counter.

"Welcome, how can I assist you today? Are you here to post a task or to collect Pill Medicines commissioned to our Alchemist Guild?"

The girl was average-looking, yet she exuded a certain charm, and her big eyes were filled with life.

Common people could release tasks at the Alchemist Guild, commissioning the Alchemist Guild to refine Pill Medicines, with gold or silver as payment.

The Alchemist Guild would then post these tasks for their alchemists. The task rewards would then become the guild’s ’points’.

These points were of no use to common people, but were extremely precious to alchemists.

At times, some alchemists would spend large amounts of gold and silver to post tasks themselves, complete the tasks themselves, and earn points this way.

It was essentially exchanging gold and silver for points.

According to regulations in the Alchemist Guild, gold and silver could not directly be exchanged for points.

But as the saying goes...

"The tricks of the devil are one foot high, but the path of the righteous is one yard high!"

"I’m here to register as a Tier-Nine Alchemist."

Wyatt revealed his intentions with a small smile.

"Registering as a Tier-Nine Alchemist?"

The girl was startled, thinking she had misheard.

This young man, who seemed even younger than her, wanted to register as a Tier-Nine Alchemist?

Putting aside that a Tier-Nine Alchemist must be a warrior in the Condensed Pill Realm, even if this young man had excellent Martial Dao talent and high alchemist ability, it would still take several years for him to condense the red flame using the Origin Force to break through to the Condensed Pill Realm.

This was an iron rule in the Cloud Skies Continent!

"Why, can’t you make the decision?"

Wyatt frowned and asked.

"Sir, please wait a moment. I’ll fetch our guild leader," the girl said.

Even though she found it hard to believe, the customer was the customer. She couldn’t tell if he was joking and could only fetch the leader of the Alchemist Guild in Aurora City.

Soon, the girl returned with an old man.

The old man was energetic, with a gleam in his eyes.

"Who wants to register as a Tier-Nine Alchemist?"

The old man’s gaze fell on Wyatt and Jovie Lee, causing his brows to furrow slightly.

"I do."

Wyatt looked at the old man.

"You? Where did this kid come from? Hurry home, this is not a place for you to mess around!"

The old man frowned and reprimanded.

"Old man, you’re so ill-mannered."

Jovie Lee couldn’t remain silent any longer.

"Humph! What do you, a brat, know about manners? You came to play around with me, is that what you call manners? I thought Aurora City had produced another Alchemist, but it turns out it’s just a couple of kids causing trouble."

By the end of his sentence, the old man seemed a bit upset.

"Old man, don’t judge a book by its cover."

Wyatt swept a glance at the old man.

As his words ended, he turned his palm upwards and a milky white red flame began to dance on it.

The old man and the girl next to him froze.

They had seen a Tier-Nine red flame before...

But they had never seen one in the hand of a sixteen-year-old youth.

"Young fellow, do you have a master?"

The old man’s eyes lit up. His attitude made a complete 180 as he viewed Wyatt as a rare treasure.

"Nonsense! If I didn’t have a master, how could I be a Tier-Nine Alchemist at such a young age?"

Wyatt gave the old man a disdainful look.

He wasn’t blind. He saw that the old man had every intention of taking him as a disciple.

But in his view, a mere Tier-Eight Alchemist like the old man wasn’t fit to be his teacher.

The old man was caught off guard and felt a bit awkward.

Soon, the old man helped Wyatt register and gave him a Tier-Nine Alchemist badge and a crystal card.

The crystal card was an exclusive points card for the Alchemist Guild.

When Wyatt infused his Origin Force within it, he could see the balance was ’0’.

The old man looked at Wyatt, unable to collect his thoughts for quite some time.

A sixteen-year-old Tier-Nine Alchemist...

He all of a sudden felt that some of his resentment about being assigned to this godforsaken place for the last few years had dissipated somewhat.

"Oh, and old man, I need some materials."

Wyatt added.

"Boy, I’m no old man. I’m Inky Simmons, the guild leader of the Alchemist Guild here in Aurora City... As for your materials, sure, as long as you can complete tasks, contribute formulae and earn points, you can buy with points."

Inky Simmons glowered at Wyatt.

"Humph! Then I’ll post some tasks now."

Wyatt pulled out a bank check.

"Young man, I must warn you. Tasks posted by guests in the Alchemist Guild, as the guild leader of the Alchemist Guild, I have the right to accept them first. So, if you hope to exchange gold and silver for points, you better give up on that idea now."

An amused smile appeared on the corner of Inky Simmons’s mouth. He had every confidence that Wyatt was in his pocket.

"Old man, you really have no shame!"

Jovie Lee frowned at his words and couldn’t help but cut in on behalf of Wyatt.
