"Alchemy Department!" Chao Li's eyes lit up with excitement when he was about to enter the three-layered pagoda.
He slowly stepped into it, and when he entered it, he saw a large open floor in the pagoda, and around it, he saw countless rooms stacking side by side in a circle, and he couldn't count those numbers exactly.
All those rooms' doors were tightly shut, but from inside, Chao Li wafted different smells, like fragrant pill scents, burnt smells, and some weird nasty smells.
The temperature was very high around those rooms, and Chao Li also heard some rumbling and explosive sounds from inside.
'How to contact those two senior brothers mentioned by Senior Jia Bao?' He frowned as he thought.
Jia Bao instructed Chao Li to contact two members of the Floating Feather Faction in the Alchemy Department, and Chao Li didn't have any method to contact them, so after a deep survey around the floor, he saw some desk from afar.
He immediately went towards that desk, and upon reaching it, he saw a beautiful lady in white robes,
That lady also looked at Chao Li and gently asked, "Tell me, What do you want?"
"Well, Senior Sister, Do you know brothers Li Shan and Yi Shan and how to contact them?" Chao Li asked.
"Humm!" That lady thought for a while and said, "Yeah! Those two are Peak Tier-One Alchemists, and shortly they may become Tier-Two and can become members of Inner Division Alchemy department!"
"You want to meet them!" That lady asked for confirmation.
"Yes! Senior Sister!" Chao Li replied.
"Ok, Then, I will send a message to them, and if they are free, they might come and meet you. By the way, what's your name?" That lady politely asked.
"I am Chao Li!"
"Well, Chao Li, Wait a minute; I will pass the message immediately."
After that, That lady passed the message of Chao Li's arrival to Li Shan and Yi Shan.
And after some time, the lady received two messages, "We are coming, ask him to wait for some time!"
That lady also conveyed their message to Chao Li and instructed him to wait in the guest room of the department till their arrival.
"Go to room no 4, and They will come and meet you shortly!"
"Thank You, Senior Sister!"
After that, Chao Li quickly found room no.4 and went into it, and that room was so huge and filled with so many tables and people who looked like Chao Li and waiting for someone.
Chao Li quickly took an empty table and then wrote his name on a nameplate of the table. It would help Li Shan and Yi Shan to identify him easily.
Slowly people were coming in and going out, and they were also discussing something serious, and maybe they also came like Chao Li to join Alchemy Department.
But they might have belonged to other Factions. Floating Feather Faction had less influence when compared to other Factions, and that's why the slots of other Factions were multiple times higher than it.
Chao Li faction only had 20 slots in Alchemy Department, whereas leading factions had nearly 200 to 300 slots, and that's why the hall had been occupied by prospective aspirant alchemists.
Shortly after half an hour, two people in white robes, with some badge on their chest, entered the hall, and they quickly surveyed the surroundings and found Chao Li's table.
Immediately after, they approached Chao Li, and Chao Li also saw someone coming in his direction, and of which one had a smiling face and the other had a cold face, and in fact, Chao Li even perceived some resentment in that cold person face.
Shortly after, they arrived at Chao Li's table then one person asked, "Are you Chao Li?"
"Yes, Senior Brothers! Are you Brothers Li Shan and Yi Shan?" Chao Li asked.
"Yes!" Beaming Person replied, and then those two seated around the table.
"Chao Li, Senior Jia Bao sent your details to us yesterday and said you are the most talented youth of our Faction in the recent selection, and that's why he made an exception to let your name in the 20 slots; that we have." Beaming Person replied and then added,
"I forget to mention, I am Li Shan, and he is Yi Shan." Li Shan introduced.
"Well, Chao Li, do you know the requirements to join Alchemist Department?" Li Shan gently questioned.
"Brother Li Shan, I don't know," Chao Li awkwardly replied,
"Well, no problem, I will explain them to you." Li Shan seriously started explaining,
"To become an Alchemist, you need to pass two must requirements."
"First, you must have Fire Essense, and If you are a Cultivator, you must know Fire Intent and have some natural fire called Beast Or Heavenly Fire, and about those, you can know later."
"Second, you must have strong spiritual power."
"Senior Brother, Didn't that mean only Immortals can become alchemists because only those have strong spiritual power!" Chao suspiciously asked.
"Well, you are right as well as wrong. You are true, as most of the Alchemists are immortals, and that didn't mean, Ancients and Immortals can't become alchemists." Li Shan solemnly said and continued,
"What I said is Spiritual Power but not talked about World Pagoda! Spiritual Power isn't Immortal uniqueness, but what they have unique to others is World Pagoda in their spiritual space, and that is what makes them Immortals."
"Some Ancients, for example, I know a person, who had a Three-Tailed Fire-Fox Bloodline, and that person's Spiritual Power won't lose to us Immortals in any way, and he even became an alchemist. So Ancients and Cultivators can also become Alchemists if they satisfy the conditions. But their percent is very low when compared to Immortals." Li Shan seriously explained,
"And you may not know, some of our Immortal has a body compared to Ancients, and the fabled Immortal Body won't lose to some of the Primordials." He added.
Chao Li sucked a cold air, and only then did he realize how mysterious the world was and how little knowledge he had.
