Everyone turned to see a middle-aged man with half-white hair stepping leisurely into the room, dressed in purple-patterned alchemy robes and with a jade token hanging at his waist carved with the words "Second-tier Association President". It was none other than the president of the Alchemist Association, Liu Cheng. He walked straight up to you, his gaze falling upon the spirit pill in your palm as a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and he raised a hand to stroke his beard.
