Regardless of how talented an Apprentice Alchemist was, they needed time to mature. The abstruse and unfathomable alchemy theories and the boundless sea of alchemy formulas both needed a lot of time to digest and understand. Many Apprentice Alchemists failed to ever become full-fledged Alchemists.
It could be said that a 30-year-old Alchemist was a rare talent.
As for someone like Cadgar that had become a Great Alchemist at the age of forty, he was unique in Thousand Sails City.
But now, Cadgar himself had described this Great Alchemist that had compounded a Ghost Potion and a Volcano Potion as "younger than they could imagine"...
Although Cadgar didn't say how young the person was, everyone here could more or less guess that the age was younger than 35, or else Cadgar wouldn't have exaggerated so much.
