"You might be a fifth-grade alchemist, but you need to become a sixth-grade one to really earn a lot of spirit crystals. There's still a long way to go."
Chandler's words were all out of kindness. He wanted to help Fane plan a clear path forward for himself, not wanting Fane to be blinded by the need to make spirit crystals. Fane might end up achieving nothing in the end if that was the case.
Even though Chandler was just an informal disciple in Rosefinch Pavilion, he had been within Rosefinch Pavilion's territories for a long time. He had a lot of basic knowledge.
Back then, he had wanted to be an alchemist. After all, he would be looked at with admiration if he managed to become a sixth-grade alchemist, and he would even make a lot of money as well.
However, after he understood how difficult it was to be an alchemist, he abandoned the thought. Becoming a sixth-grade alchemist did not just require large amounts of effort and time-it also needed incredibly high talent.
The Way of the Pill was not something that could be understood just because someone wanted to. The Way of the Pill was not a singular way of making pills.
Based on what he knew, there were five of six different Ways of the Pill just within Rosefinch
Pavilion's territories.
Some were easy, and some were simple. There were those that made better pills and those that made worse. However, no matter what kinds of pills they were, they were still incredibly hard to understand.
There were those who still could not understand it even after 20 years. Eight out of ten alchemists failed to achieve enlightenment.
