Pill Treasure Pavilion, Zhu Yi's cave dwelling.
"You know alchemy?" Zhu Yi stared at Chen Mu in disbelief.
Wasn't he some nobody who had gotten in through the back door?
"I know a little, I know a little." Chen Mu looked humble, but inwardly, he was overjoyed.
Shocked, aren't you?
I didn't want this either.
Who told me to be so diligent and hardworking?
Before I knew it, I'd ground up enough alchemy experience. Hahaha...
"I see." Zhu Yi thought for a moment, his face full of sudden realization.
Then his brows furrowed, and he put on a troubled look. "An alchemist's status is different from that of an alchemy apprentice."
"The Other Courtyard investigates strictly. It won't be easy to arrange."
What did he mean?
Chen Mu was a little baffled.
"It's not impossible to give you this status." After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Yi gritted his teeth. "But it'll cost extra Dao Merit!"
"A lot of Dao Merit!"
"Don't misunderstand. This is mainly to smooth things over with Director Sun."
"The Other Courtyard's Pill Treasure Pavilion is, after all, part of the Affairs Office."
"Arranging an alchemist's status will definitely have to go through the Academy Supervisor of the Affairs Office."
"And it would be best to have Uncle-Master Liang speak up first and give our Director Sun a little warning."
"With both Dao Merit and threats working together, you'll be able to hold this alchemist status with peace of mind." Zhu Yi wore a deeply meaningful expression.
Chen Mu: "..."
So he still thinks I'm some nobody, huh?!
He was so angry he laughed. What kind of bizarre thought process did Pavilion Master Zhu have?
I may have entered the Pill Treasure Pavilion through Liang Yi's arrangements, but I really do know alchemy!
