Sorry I couldn't upload these past few days, I took my first covid shot and my arm hurt alot and that came along with the nonstop migraines I had from the side effects.

"Qi control? Youngster what are you talking about?" Asked head elder Kuan Fa. Many alchemists walked over wanting to know more. They have never heard of such a thing before this is completely new to them.
Ken Hai simply smriles and brought up his finger and channeled some qi into it, then out his body as he began to change it into a various number of shapes. Everyone looked in wonder they have never seen anything like this before.
"This is qi control, alchemy has a number of complex methods and techniques not only that but also martial techniques as well and a reason why most people fail making a pill is because you exert a level of control that you don't normally practice." Says Ken Hai.
"What?" Everyone turned their head not understanding what he's saying.
"Well I guess I didn't truly explain it didn't I?" Says Ken Hai as he berated himself slightly.
"There are two types of qi control internal and external. We use internal when cultivate and use certain techniques such as qi augmentation." They nodded now understanding.
"Now comes external qi control, this is incredibly hard, unlike internal qi control where we can easily circulate qi throughout our bodies. To improve your external qi control you need to be able to manipulate our qi outside your body by playing with it treat it like a toy."
At Ken Hai's last words they all become shocked treat your qi like its a toy!
"That's the only way I've begin with creating simple shapes like these." Ken Hai then created a golden coloured square, then it morphed to a triangle.
"I see this elder here will try to follow your advice." The elder bowed to Ken Hai shocking everyone there. A fifteen year old not only became an alchemist but also gained the head elders respect, word of this will definitely spread like wild fire!
"Wear these robes with pride as your all now official alchemists!" says the head elder as he gave Ken Hai and the confident man now known as Jiao Mo Alchemists bagdes which had a copper looking shine to it and robes.
'Jiao again I guess he's related to those three scrubs.' Thought Ken Hai as he gave a side way glance to Jiao Mo who looked slightly miffed.
'Hmph! This brat just had to show up didn't he! I'm 28 years old! If that brat didn't show up I'd be praised as a genius!' It's usually those in their thirties who normally pass the alchemist test, Jiao Mo really would've praised as a genius. 'Hmph! I'm not as petty as to go after a brat! But he better not interfere with my ventures ever again!' He thought as he walked away.
"Ah! Head Elder where can I sell my pills? I'm currently broke." The head elders eyebrows then rose. "Then where have you been staying?" Asked Kuan Fa.
"I've been camping not too far outside the city." Replied Ken Hai.
"I see well speak to the receptionist in the hall she should help." He said before walking away to who knows where.
-A bit later-
"This...." The receptionist muttered in slight shock as she appraised the 30 grade 2 pills, I just handed in.
"Your pills come to thirty gold." A pill can cost from over a hundred and fifty silver lien, to five hundred lien max and a grade 2 pill can cost from five hundred to a thousand, depending on quality of course and all my pills are of the highest quality so each cost a thousand silver lien, and a thousand silver lien is equal to one gold lien which means. I'm rich boy!
Honestly the alchemists job is a really good way to make money, pills and elixers are always in high demand. That's why so many want it as a job not only that if a sect has an alchemists they can not only get pills and elixers at lowered prices but also they're own alchemists!
Leaving with my money I decided to hit the library, I'm finally allowed to hit up the second floor filled with much more advanced techniques and pill ingredients. After this I should finally check out the medicine hall. Its sort of like an hospital but you can also learn to be a doctor there, i heard they also have a library with medicinal techniques.
They also partner with the alchemist guild as they have some medicinal recipe.
