A first-rank alchemist could have their own alchemy room and receive alchemy reimbursements, but they must complete a certain amount of alchemy tasks assigned by the Danfa Sect every year.
However, the alchemy reimbursements are only about 30% of what the same ranked rogue alchemists receive.
Second and third-rank alchemists are also in the same situation, only with relatively higher reimbursements.
Only when they reach the fourth-rank as an alchemist would they possess complete autonomy, not only is their alchemy reimbursement fully theirs, but they also receive a subsidy from the Danfa Sect.
So, the income of a fourth-rank alchemist is dozens of times higher than a third-rank alchemist.
Therefore, Qin Miao, knowing the risks, still decided to take the chance and reveal his true alchemy skill level.
As for why he doesn't simply take his people and set up his own venture to earn more money,
It's naturally because his strength is not enough.
