Chapter 1967 Alchemy Ranks

Alex handed the five pills to the woman who came to take them. Once she confirmed that she had received the exact pills that Alex had made, she asked him to leave the room.

Alex walked out of the door and the woman followed behind him.

The Alchemist Han gave a surprised look when he saw Alex walk out. He looked toward the woman, wondering if she had been the one to call off the alchemy process, but instead, she only shook her head.

She handed over the pills to Alchemist Han and said, "These are the pills this fellow Alchemist made."

"Thank you," Alchemist Han said.

He put the pills away. "Your test is complete. Your results should be available for you to view in 2 days. Come back with the registration slip you have."

Alex smiled. "Thank you senior."

The woman moved close to Alex to show him the way out. Alex nodded and followed her. As they left, the woman couldn't help but ask some questions.

"Why did you cut the ingredients at the start?" she asked. "You added some too."

"The ingredients?" Alex asked with a confused look. "That was to match the ratio of the ingredients. The best results happen when the ratio of the ingredients is correct."

"Oh!" the girl said, surprised by his answers. "How do you know what the ratio is?"

"That's... a little difficult to answer. It's mostly based on the weight of the ingredient's powdered form and how much of it is needed. In general, you can just go off of the ratio written in the recipe."

"I see," the woman said.

Alex looked at the woman and finally noticed the leaf-shaped pendant hanging from her neck. On it was the words 'Superior Saint Alchemist'.

"May I ask, what the rankings of alchemists are in this guild?" Alex asked.

"It's Regular, Superior, and Supreme," the woman said. "Did you not know?"

Alex raised an eyebrow. "The Medicine World?" he asked.

He had heard that name before in the Silkstone Alchemy store. Their formation to improve the quality of an ingredient had been brought over from the Medicine world as well.

"Why would you change it based on what another realm does?" Alex asked.

"Because it's the Medicine world," the woman answered. "You must not know. At the moment, the Medicine world is at the forefront of Alchemy. Their entire world is filled with alchemists and people of other professions that will make you rethink how talented you are. They have thousands and thousands of Supreme Alchemists and from what I hear, Alchemist that rank even beyond that."

Alex got more and more curious by the minute. "Is the Medicine World that good?" he asked.

"Of course," the woman said. "After all, it is the birthplace of the first Alchemy God. His teachings remain in that world and thus the alchemists of that world are the greatest. Every other world simply copies what they do. We also simply began copying their method of ranking too."

Alex had stopped listening to the woman at some point, only reeling in his own shock.

'What?' he thought. The Medicine World he had been hearing so much about was the birthplace of the Alchemy God.

'The first Alchemy God, that's him right?' Alex thought. It had to be. That was what senior Yang had told him.

'I should go there, learn more about him,' Alex thought. But... he couldn't. The Medicine World was one step away in his journey to find his family.

If he took a detour to go to the Medicine World, it would add another leg to his journey, which he honestly couldn't afford right now.

At the moment, he had to find 3 sources of fortune, which was already impossible. Adding another impossibility on top of that was not something he could do right now.

"Is everything alright?" the woman asked, seeing him not saying anything.

"Oh yes, I'm alright," Alex answered. "Thank you for answering my silly questions. If you don't mind, can you tell me where I need to go to wait for my physician's test?"

"Oh, uhhh... it's near here. Let me take you there."

The woman left in one direction and Alex followed her.
