Chapter 9 - BECOMING AN ALCHEMIST

Xu Yuan could feel his body becoming lighter yet more powerful. His eyes slowly opened, and the light of the room began to enter his eyes.

He raised his hands in the air, a feeling of pleasure welling up in his heart. He also became stronger than before.

He regained his composure, trying to suppress the feeling of pleasure that was constantly bubbling up from his heart. After all, he had obtained a power of 40,000 jin, which was equivalent to a high-level Transformation tier.

Xu Yuan could defeat all cultivators from the Transformation stage and below, not to mention when he used the Solar God Ten Finger Fighting Art that allowed him to be even more ferocious.

Xu Yuan got up from his bed and went out of the room, intending to find his mother. He wanted to tell his mother his strength. He couldn't and didn't want to hide anything from Luo Jing Yan.

He also wanted to tell his father and make him proud, but his father, who served as the Head of the Family, was very busy with some work. For a while, he didn't want to bother him.

When he walked into his mother's room, he heard the conversation between his mother and his 2nd aunt.

"How could this happen? Why do all our shop customers turn to the Tang family shop?"

"I don't know sister Luo either, but when I asked some customers, they said that the quality of the pills in the Tang family is better than ours,"

"If it continues like this, the Xu family's economic situation might decline..." lamented Luo Jingyan.

"It seems that in the Tang family there is a high-ranking alchemist, it could be an alchemist of Master rank or higher!"

"It's possible that if they had a Master rank alchemist, for the first time they had 2nd grade pills made by a Disciple rank alchemist,"

Xu Yuan continued to hear the two's conversation, and he understood something. It seemed that the Xu family's economic condition could have a decent if all the customers of the family shop turned to the Tang family shop.

To put it simply, the Tang family and Xu family were the two noble families that occupied the city of Xianjin. Indirectly these two families compete in all aspects, including shop sales and supply from residents.

Xu Yuan postponed his intention to enter Luo Jing Yan's room, and he chose to go to the shop he had been to earlier, the pill shop.

Xu Yuan was the young master of the Xu Family, so he should have helped solve the problems within his family.

After a while, he walked. Finally, he arrived in front of the shop.

He could see some of the customers who were about to buy pills kept turning and going out of the shop, leaving the shop assistants sad.

"Ah…, young master!" One of the shop assistants shouted when he saw it.

"Where is senior Xu He? I want to meet him!" His order was that he should discuss this matter with the head of the shop, Xu He.

Several maids immediately went to look for Xu He until an older man came from inside the shop not long ago.

"Welcome young master..." He saluted.

"What happened? Why did everything fall apart?" he asked directly.

"Young master, we can talk about it inside…." Xu, He said as he led Xu Yuan into a room.

Xu Yuan and Xu He sat opposite each other. Xu knew that the young master of the Xu family would ask about the drop in pill sales.

"I know from my confidant that I placed in the Tang Family, it was said that recently an alchemist of Master rank came to the Tang family and helped them upgrade the grade of cleansing pills to grade 3," Xu He explained.

Xu Yuan frowned. The issue of selling pills was not a trivial matter, and the problem was that the Xu family's main income was selling pills they always marketed.

Xu Yuan asked, "Isn't anyone in our family capable of making Grade 3 Pills?"

Xu shook his head, "No young master, even if a disciple-ranked alchemist can concoct Grade 3 pills, but to make it happen, an alchemist needs extraordinary soul power and the success rate is only 5%. It would be too risky if we tried…."

Xu Yuan sighed exasperatedly, "Huh…, Then I will summon an alchemist from the mountains who might be able to help us."

Xu Yuan did intend to help solve his family's problems, but not as a Xu Yuan, but as an alchemist.

Xu He was shocked when he heard Xu Yuan's words, "Young master knows some professional alchemists?" he asked hesitantly.

"I know an alchemist within the mountains, maybe tomorrow I will call him and help us. Don't worry senior, the alchemists I know won't be any lower in rank than the alchemists in the Tang Family."

**

Xu Yuan returned to his room, and he didn't know how many times he had sat on the bed.

He asks the system how he can become an alchemist, and he has to become an alchemist no matter what. For the sake of helping his family, there is nothing he can't do.

"System, I want to become an alchemist, how do I do that?"

[master can upgrade master's occupation to an alchemist]

Xu Yuan snorted in annoyance, "Yes I know! But how?"

[Does master want to become an alchemist? Master can come to the store and choose a profession as an alchemist.]

"You can choose the best alchemist profession for me, which you recommend!" That said, he was too lazy to come and browse through the system shop. It had too many choices.

[master has become a Versatile Alchemist, 100 exchange points reduce master's exchange points.]

[master can upgrade master's alchemist rank from Novice to Disciple-ranked alchemist, do you want to upgrade it?]

Increase the rank of alchemist? It didn't seem like a disservice, and he also did need to become an Alchemist of rank to defeat the alchemist of the Tang family.

"Alright, I want to upgrade my alchemist rank to Master rank alchemist!" He excitedly said so to the system.

[master needs 500 points to upgrade master's alchemist rank to Disciple, if the master wants to become Master rank alchemist, then master needs 1,200 exchange points, do you still want it?]

What? He needed to spend a lot of exchange points to raise his alchemist rank to the rank of master.

Xu Yuan thought for a moment, he had approximately 15,000 exchange points, spending 1,200 exchange points can still be accepted.

"Alright, raise my alchemist rank!"

[Safe! Master has become a Disciple-ranked All-in-One Alchemist, master's Exchange Points will be reduced by 500 Exchange Points]

[Congratulations! Master has become a Master Allied Alchemist, Master's Exchange Points will be reduced by 700 Exchange Points]

[Congratulations! Master gets a gift box for upgrading master's alchemist rank to master]

[Congratulations! Master has spent 1,000 Exchange Points in a single purchase, and the master gets a refund of 5,000 Exchange Points]

Again the system never let him down.

He knew a little about the system's performance, would most likely reward him if he continued to shop at the system store.

After all, the most likely all-in-one shop in the cultivator's world was only the system shop. The system shop provided various positions, Fighting Arts, jobs, items, weapons, magic artifacts, pills, medicinal herbs, and many other things he didn't know about.

Banks from low to heaven are all available in the system. If only the system's existence could be systematized into a physical form, then everyone would fight over it. Even the Gods would fight over it.
