This was exactly the situation with the current Alchemy King, Du Qingtao. In the early years, Du Qingtao was a free man and did not belong to any faction. Compared to other alchemists who were supported by other large factions, Du Qingtao's path to the top had obviously been much more difficult.
Because alchemy required countless resources and money, he had thought of other means to improve. In order to improve his alchemy skills, he helped others make pills for free. No matter what big faction or individual, as long as they sought him out and provided him with the ingredients, he would make the pills for them.
At that time, alchemists were not within a system yet. Each family had only cared about themselves. Du Qingtao's actions naturally attracted the attention of countless people.
