Alex arrived at the Elder's Hall 2 days later and met up with Elder Lan.
"Here is your identification talisman," the man said as he handed one to Alex. "With this, you will be a staff of the sect, kind of."
Alex took the talisman and nodded.
"Are you ready to start?" the Elder asked.
Alex nodded. "Absolutely."
"Let's go then."
They arrived inside the Alchemy room, where 2 other people were working silently. Elder Lan quickly introduced Alex to the two and explained how they were part-time staff of the sect.
They were the closest thing to outside workers that the sect had, considering everyone else was either an Elder or a Disciple. There were very few people that were just staff.
Alex realized that he didn't need to interact much with the other staff and just focused on his own work.
"How do I get started?" Alex asked.
