The news that Chen Changan intended to train alchemists had caused an uproar throughout the Profound Sword Sect.
Everyone was eager to give it a try. After all, becoming an alchemist meant gaining another means of making a living.
This was unquestionably a good thing.
Chen Changan decided to select a group of people from the Profound Sword Sect's five sword peaks to become alchemists.
As the Grand Elder, he had to treat everyone equally and could not show favoritism.
The people Chen Changan mainly selected were those with exceptional talent for controlling flames.
In the end, he chose two people from each of the five sword peaks.
The ones selected from Tianjian Peak were Xiao Yubo and Li Yue. They had the strongest control over flames among the people there.
Next were Long Yi and Lin Yun from Profound Sword Peak; Bai Yang and Fu Ming from Famous Sword Peak; Zhao He and Zhang Xiao from Cloud Sword Peak; and finally Xie Li and Qiao Nian from Flying Sword Peak.
All ten had good talent to begin with. Of the people known so far, they were the most suitable candidates to train as alchemists.
Besides, there weren't too many of them, so training them wouldn't be all that difficult.
"For the time being, the ten of you will train under me."
"Becoming an alchemist isn't difficult, but becoming a qualified one will require you to put in a hundred or even a thousand times the effort."
"You... don't have flames of your own, do you?"
At Chen Changan's words, everyone nodded awkwardly. After all, they were all Sword Cultivators. Who would go around playing with flames?
"Have any of you heard of any particularly unusual flames in the Southern Region?"
"Well..."
"Fine. Looks like you don't know either."
