Chapter 987: Chapter 984: Guarantor_1
Chapter 987 -984: Guarantor_1
When alchemists independently refine elixirs, they must apply for the necessary materials. And to do that, they must head to the center of the Pill Tao Conference.
It’s the busiest place at the conference because it’s where alchemists of the highest caliber gather. These alchemists have been cultivated by Changfeng Main City for years and serve as their pride.
In reality, Changfeng Main City purposefully puts out their alchemists to refine pills to sell them and also to put on a show, so that others are aware of their strength.
It may seem that Changfeng Main City lacks prominence, but their indelible contributions to the Imperial Tao Sect as it stands today are not to be overlooked.
At this moment, Yang Chen arrives at the center of the Pill Tao Conference.
Alchemists can be seen readily setting up stalls, marking them with their names. By doing so, they reveal their alchemical prowess. This is a necessary part of the conference. It’s a requirement for all alchemists to openly show their craft. Only in this way will the event live up to its name.
“Look! Alchemist Huang has produced an elixir, a tier eight Haiteng Pill!”
“I’m claiming this Haiteng Pill.”
“What a treasure.”
“Coming to the Pill Tao Conference was the right move!”
Numerous martial artists scramble to grab the elixir as soon as they see a pill appear at a stall run by Alchemist Huang. However, due to the demand, the price quickly skyrockets.
In no time, many martial artists had to sigh and give up. The price of the Haiteng Pill was well beyond their means.
Nevertheless, the enthusiasm didn’t wane. The crowd’s eyes were all on the elderly man at an enormous stall in the center.
The old man calmly sat there, surrounded by guardians who were martial artists from the Earthly Martial Realm.
The alchemical furnace in front of him was of the highest quality. He wasn’t currently refining any pills, but no one was clamoring for him to hurry up.
Three characters were written on his stall: Theodore Dalton.
“Theodore Dalton?” Yang Chen could see that this alchemist seemed highly sought after and couldn’t help but ask someone nearby, “Pardon me, who is this Theodore Dalton?”
“You don’t know Theodore Dalton?” The martial artist looked at Yang Chen, evidently not recognizing that Yang Chen was the man who had previously made a name for himself in the Trial Tower.
Not that it was any surprise. Back then, the place was so packed that few managed to catch a glimpse of Yang Chen.
Yang Chen shook his head. “I’m not a resident of Changfeng Main City and hence, not well-informed about its affairs.”
“Well, you really need to catch up on your knowledge then. Theodore Dalton is the most potent alchemist in Changfeng Main City. He is the only one who has surpassed the tier nine alchemy level to become an Earth-grade Alchemist.” The martial artist explained, “Now you must understand his reputation. Plenty of Heavenly Martial Realm martial artists are waiting eagerly for his pills.”
“Oh? I see…” Yang nodded and said, “Thank you, friend.”
The level of an alchemist is determined based on the elixirs they can refine. Elixirs range from tier one to nine. Beyond tier nine are the Heavenly and Earthly Grade elixirs.
Earth Grade Elixirs, which transcend tier nine, are pills rich with spiritual essence. Heavenly Grade Elixirs are even more deadly; upon refinement, they can result in massive changes, such as the Heavenly Tribulation.
Above Heavenly Grade Elixirs are Creation Divine Pills.
A Creation Divine Pill, when refined, signifies a major transformation. To refine such a pill requires a favorable alignment of Heaven and Earth and harmony among people. It’s a daunting process, and those who can refine such pills are known as Creation Alchemists, representing the peak of alchemical prowess on this continent.
Indeed, Earth-grade Alchemists are quite rare.
“I wonder if he can refine an Earth Grade Elixir.” Yang Chen was curious. To refine an Earth Grade Elixir, merely reaching the level of an Earth-grade Alchemist didn’t guarantee successful refinement.
Of course, this was irrelevant to him.
Yang Chen quickly figured that many people were waiting for Theodore Dalton’s alchemical result, so he left and headed for the central location.
Many alchemists like him, who intended to independently refine their elixirs, came here to register and apply. However, they were different from him. All of them wore the distinctive attire of alchemists and held a token in their hands, periodically raising it up.

It was clear they intended to show off.
“I am a tier six alchemist and wish to apply for the materials to refine a perfect tier five Leaving Dragon Pill! If the elixir is successfully refined, the first one will certainly be dedicated to the elders of Changfeng Main City. By the way, this is my Alchemist Token.” The alchemist bent over and bowed, speaking courteously.
As he spoke, he presented his Alchemist Token, bearing the inscribed number six, indicating his alchemy level!
The official in charge, an elderly man in the Earthly Martial Realm, appreciated the alchemist’s deference. He nodded approvingly. “Alright, a tier six alchemist applying for tier five perfect elixir materials. Approved. Take this token, use it to request materials from the materials library, and then choose a spot to refine your pill. Remember, make preparations for cultivation if you fail; if you succeed, be sure to return and leave one of the elixirs here. Otherwise, you will be permanently blacklisted by our Changfeng Main City!”
“Don’t worry, don’t worry!” The alchemist still smiled obsequiously, clearly not wanting to hurt anyone’s feelings.
Then, he received the metal token handed to him.
The token was inscribed with the number five, meaning the holder of the token could retrieve any materials needed for a Tier 5 Elixir from the materials library.
The alchemist accepted the token and left, exhilarated.
Following him, more alchemists came forward to apply, and soon it was Yang Chen’s turn. Seeing everyone else flaunting their Alchemist Tokens, he felt a twinge of embarrassment not having one.
He thought for a moment before reluctantly saying, “Sir…uh, my situation is a bit unique. I want to apply for materials, but I don’t have an Alchemist Token. Is there another way?”
The official in charge from the Earthly Martial Realm stroked his beard before looking up at Yang Chen. Seeing that he didn’t know him, the official looked dismissive: “What grade materials do you want to apply for?”
“Tier nine!” Yang announced.
His response could be deemed shockingly bold, causing everyone present to gasp.
Tier nine…
Probably only a handful of people at the Pill Tao Conference could refine a tier nine elixir.
Steward Fu swallowed hard, glanced at Yang Chen’s age, and assumed that Yang was joking. Still, he replied, “Young man, we can still approve your request even if you don’t have an Alchemist Token. Don’t blame Changfeng Main City for not affording you an opportunity, you’ll just need to bring a guarantor. I trust you understand what that means.”
