Green Lotus Core Flame, Agreement Reached

"No! That breaks the rules!"

Upon hearing Bai Ge's words, the Head of the Alchemist Department did not even need to think before directly refusing Bai Ge's condition.

"Why?"

Bai Ge frowned, asking in confusion.

He truly did not understand. Had they not said before that they valued him so highly because, among Dou Shi, he possessed exceptional talent as an alchemist, while among alchemists, he possessed exceptional talent for Dou Qi cultivation?

If he joined the Alchemist Department, he would be able to bring glory to the department in future Inner Academy Selection Competitions.

Since what they valued was his cultivation and combat strength, whether he learned alchemy should not matter much, should it?

Just as Bai Ge was feeling puzzled, the Head of the Alchemist Department answered his question.

"Since you wish to join the Alchemist Department, you must learn alchemy. The requirement for students of the Alchemist Department to graduate is that they must obtain the qualification of a Third-grade Alchemist before graduation. This is a rule set down by the first Head of the Alchemist Department. Even I cannot violate it."

The Head of the Alchemist Department explained.

"Oh! So that's how it is."

After hearing the explanation, Bai Ge immediately understood.

So students of the Alchemist Department had a fixed graduation requirement. No wonder the Head of the Alchemist Department would not agree.

However, this was not much of a problem. It was only Third-grade Alchemist, after all.

As long as he proved that his level was above third grade, it should be fine.

With that thought, Bai Ge looked at the Head of the Alchemist Department and said, "Head, if I already possess the skill of a Third-grade Alchemist, can you agree to my condition?"

"Of course."

The Head of the Alchemist Department nodded
