Honorary Guest Elder

Once pills were refined, they were graded by star level according to their quality. If a finished pill met a common standard, it would be ten-star. Above ten stars were eleven stars, twelve stars... but they generally did not exceed twenty stars.

If a finished pill was below nine stars, it meant the quality had certain flaws. If it was one-star, it was a useless pill.

This finished pill was twelve-star. Su Chen could guarantee that if Xu Yin took this Hundred-Year Supreme-Yang Pill, not only would it eradicate the cold poison within her body, it would also benefit her constitution.

After storing the twelve-star Hundred-Year Supreme-Yang Pill in a small bottle, Su Chen smiled at Master Mo and Master Qian. "Thank you both for today."

If these two alchemists had not allowed him to borrow the Elephant-Pattern Fire Dragon Furnace, this twelve-star Hundred-Year Supreme-Yang Pill could not have been refined.

"Young Master Su, there is no need to be so polite." Master Mo smiled. "By the way, would Young Master Su be interested in joining our Alchemy Guild?"

Join the Alchemy Guild?

Su Chen frowned slightly. He truly had never considered joining the Alchemy Guild.

He knew that joining the Alchemy Guild meant soaring to the heavens in a single step for an ordinary martial artist, granting wealth and status beyond the reach of ordinary people. Especially since Master Mo respected him so much, he would surely arrange a fine position for him within the Alchemy Guild.

However, while joining the Alchemy Guild certainly came with many benefits, it also came with many constraints. Having lived a second life, Su Chen did not wish to be bound by anyone.

Thus, Su Chen politely declined. "Thank you for your kind intentions, Master Mo, but I still need to cultivate martial arts and cannot come to the Alchemy Guild every day. If Master Mo arranges some position for me, I would not be able to fulfill my duties either."

Master Mo smiled. "Young Master Su, rest assured. I had already considered that, which is why I wish to invite you to serve as an Honorary Guest Elder of our Alchemy Guild."

"This Honorary Guest Elder is equivalent to a title hung on display. Its status is equal to the Guild Master's,

but it has no actual work duties, nor do you need to come to the Alchemy Guild every day. You only need to drop by from time to time when you are free."

"Of course, if the Alchemy Guild faces some major matter, then as an Honorary Guest Elder, you must also be present."

After hearing Master Mo's words, Su Chen understood. Put plainly, this Honorary Guest Elder was there to prop up the scene. He did not need to appear normally, but he had to show up for major occasions, serving as the Guild's public face.

"If that is the case, then I shall do as Master Mo says." Su Chen did not refuse again. Joining the Alchemy Guild should be a good choice. At the very least, he would no longer need to worry about pill furnaces.

"However, I hope to serve as an Honorary Guest Elder of the Alchemy Guild under an alias. I hope Master Mo can grant this request." Su Chen's identity involved too many relationships. If he had one more false identity, it would be more convenient for him to act in the future.

Master Mo quickly replied, "As long as Young Master Su is willing to join our Alchemy Guild, it does not matter whether you use your real name or an alias. What alias would Young Master Su like to use?"

Su Chen thought for a moment and said, "Dust."

"No problem. From now on, you are the Honorary Guest Elder of our Qinghe City Alchemy Guild, Master Dust. Whenever you come to the Alchemy Guild as Master Dust, you may disguise yourself so that no one recognizes you."

Master Mo said this with delight, immediately taking out the Alchemy Guild's Honorary Guest Elder badge and handing it to Su Chen.

"Young Master Su, let me see you downstairs."

Master Mo was utterly satisfied today, and immediately volunteered to accompany Su Chen downstairs.

The two went downstairs and arrived at the first-floor main hall of the Alchemy Guild.

"Take care, Young Master Su," Master Mo said.

Su Chen was just about to leave when four or five people suddenly burst in through the main entrance carrying a stretcher. The leader shouted as soon as he entered, "Are there any alchemists here? Hurry and look at my young master!"

"Get a few alchemists over here and cure my young master! You will be well rewarded!" another person shouted as well.

Seeing this, Master Mo could not help frowning and was about to step forward.

At that moment, a middle-aged man wearing a Senior Apprentice Alchemist badge on his chest strode toward those people and sternly said, "This is the Alchemy Guild. No clamor is permitted. What do you want? Outsiders are forbidden from barging into the Alchemy Guild!"

One of the men carrying the stretcher pointed at the richly dressed child lying on it and arrogantly said, "We are from the Wang Family! Our young master ate something unknown by mistake this morning, and now his entire body is convulsing and he is having trouble breathing. You are an alchemist, right? Help us see what exactly is wrong. Cure him, and you will be handsomely rewarded!"

The Senior Apprentice Alchemist frowned deeply upon hearing this and said, "This is the Alchemy Guild, not some roadside clinic. If you have a sick person, carry him to a medical hall. Do not come to the Alchemy Guild and disturb our peace!"

"Hmph, a mere Senior Apprentice Alchemist dares put on airs before the Wang Family?" A disdainful female voice rang out. Then a seductive-looking young woman with a black mole at the outer corner of her right eye entered the Alchemy Guild's main hall. Behind her followed a narrow-eyed young man who seemed to have an injured leg and limped as he walked.

"Are those the Wang Family's young lady and young master?" Many people present began discussing among themselves.

Meanwhile, Su Chen, who stood some distance away, recognized them at a glance. The young woman and young man who had entered were none other than Wang Bingyan and Wang Teng from Drunken Immortal Residence that day.

When the Senior Apprentice Alchemist saw Wang Bingyan and Wang Teng, his expression also changed slightly. "Miss Wang, Young Master Wang."

Wang Bingyan raised her proud chin and looked at the Senior Apprentice Alchemist. "The person on the stretcher is my biological younger brother, the Wang Family's direct-line young master. If you cure him, my Wang Family will reward you heavily. Otherwise... you will be refusing to give our Wang Family face."

The Senior Apprentice Alchemist could not help frowning. Wang Bingyan and Wang Teng were, after all, direct-line descendants of the Wang Family. He had not yet advanced to Certified Alchemist and could not afford to offend them.

Thus, the Senior Apprentice Alchemist could only walk toward the stretcher.

Just then, another middle-aged man suddenly rushed into the Alchemy Guild's main hall carrying a child on his back. The moment he entered, he knelt before the Senior Apprentice Alchemist. "You are an alchemist, right? Could you please help take a look at what is wrong with my son? Since this morning, after eating something unknown, he has been convulsing and struggling to breathe until now. We went to a medical hall, but it was useless..."

The Senior Apprentice Alchemist was startled. He looked at the middle-aged man and saw that he wore coarse cloth, while the child on his back was dressed in ragged garments. Compared to the Wang Family's young master on the other side, they were impoverished beyond measure. They were clearly merely commoners.

Then, the Senior Apprentice Alchemist examined the complexions of the Wang Family's young master and the commoner child. He said in surprise, "The symptoms of these two seem to be the same illness."

Everyone present looked over. Sure enough, the two had exactly the same symptoms. They truly appeared to be suffering from the same illness.

"What a coincidence. Two people with the same illness came to the Alchemy Guild for help at once."

"Two patients, but only one alchemist. Who should he treat first?"

Wang Bingyan clearly realized this as well and immediately ordered the Senior Apprentice Alchemist, "You, treat my younger brother first at once!"
