The white-haired man's words reflected how inquisitive and solemn he was. He truly wondered why Fane would choose to be an alchemist if he was talented enough to break through to the spring solidifying realm at his age. After all, the white-haired man felt like it was not an easy path to take.
Alchemists were no doubt respected, but the path was fraught with various difficulties. It was much more difficult to tread than the path of martial arts.
Some alchemists were never able to even become seventh-grade alchemists for their entire lives, thus practicing martial arts were worth it all as compared to alchemy. That was one of the reasons why high-level alchemists were so rare.
Fane stared at the white-haired man. There had been some things he had not been planning to say, but the white-haired man did not seem willing to relent at all, so he felt like he had to explain.
"I never gave up on either side. Otherwise, I would never have come to Soul Grotto."
The white-haired man's lips froze before he asked again, "I still don't understand. The path of being an alchemist seems really hard to me.
"If you want to become a high-level alchemist, expect to be spending loads of time and resources. You won't
just need to be incredibly familiar with knowledge of the various materials; you'll also need to constantly refine pills."
The white-haired man knew quite a few alchemists, which was why he knew how much effort and resources were needed to become a successful alchemist. After all, refining a pill was not something easy.
One needed to go through hundreds of failures before being able to succeed, and increasing one's proficiency as an alchemist was even harder. He had many friends that were stuck at the sixth-grade level, even after over ten years of practice. Becoming a seventh-grade alchemist seemed like an impossible goal to them.
Even in Phoenix Valley, seventh-grade alchemists were incredibly well-respected. After all, seventhgrade alchemists were not easy to find.
