Fire Soul's are very very rare in the Azure Sky Continent and the knowledge about it is also kept confidential by experts.
Ye Xiao was again surprised after hearing this. he nodded his head and said, "Grandmaster Wang is right. Yesterday, I finished absorbing the Beast Fire."
"Beast Fire, huh." Grandmaster Wang nodded his head while stroking his long white beard. and said, "Your Beast Fire's fire energy is leaking out from you, it means you absorbed the Beast Fire by yourself without the help of any expert. It is in itself a feat that very few could achieve. Second is that, since you have the Beast Fire, you can concoct pills many times easier than others. And third and last is that, you are just about to turn sixteen but you already has the cultivation of Seventh Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm. It means your talent is also very good."
"These are the reasons for which I want to take you as my disciple. And it is also very beneficial for you. You can learn about alchemy from me. You can learn how to control fire and you can also obtain many benefits not only from our Alchemist Associations but also from the Treasure Pavilion of our Azure Dragon Country. Not only this, as a disciple of a Grandmaster Alchemist, you can obtain many benefits even if you go out of the Azure Dragon Country."
"This Alchemist Association is only a small branch. There are thousands of branches like this all around the Azure Sky Continent. Even I don't know where the true headquarter of the Alchemist Association is. Every small country has at least one branch of Alchemist Association and a big country has more than one branches of the Alchemist Association. The Alchemist Association, which is in the Imperial City of the Grand Xia Empire can be considered the headquarter of all of its branches that comes under the jurisdiction of the Grand Xia Empire."
"So, you can think about it yourself that if you become my disciple then it means that you are also a part of the Alchemist Association and you can obtain all the benefits that the Alchemist Association gives to its members."
Ye Xiao was also tempted after hearing all of these. He also thought that if he really became a disciple of the Grandmaster Wang than in the future, he can show his alchemy skills in front of everyone without any fear. If anybody asks him where did he learn to refine pills, he can easily answer that that he learnt it from the Grandmaster Wang.
And anyway, he doesn't need to learn how to refine pills as he has all those memories and experiences of refining pills of the Ancient Pill God. He just needed to practice one or two times and he can successfully refine every type of pills.
Thinking about all of this, Ye Xiao nodded his head, kowtowed to Grandmaster Wang three times and said, "Disciple Ye Xiao greets master."
"Good good. Hahaha, now I also have a talented disciple." Grandmaster Wang stroked his long white beard and laughed out loud. Then he took out a cauldron and gave it to Ye Xiao, "Here, take it."
Ye Xiao took the cauldron from Grandmaster Wang's hand and looked at it carefully as it was his very first cauldron. It was no ordinary cauldron. Ye Xiao could feel his spirit energy resonating with the cauldron in his hand.
"Low Grade Spirit Tier Cauldron."
Ye Xiao exclaimed loudly. This was the Alchemist Association and there were many alchemists here. When they heard that Grandmaster Wang was present here, they all stopped refining pills and got out of their room to meet Grandmaster Wang. And now that they heard that Grandmaster Wang gave a Low Grade Spirit Tier Cauldron to Ye Xiao, they all felt envy toward him. All of them looked at Ye Xiao with jealousy.
Ye Xiao also become quite curious about the master of Grandmaster Wang after looking at the cauldron in his hand. He thought that Grandmaster Wang's master is definitely not an ordinary person and nor did Grandmaster Wang himself. It has to know that the cauldrons are very rare. To refine a good cauldron, one has to gather many types of precious materials. Maybe, in the entire Alchemist Association, except for Grandmaster Wang, only Ye Xiao now has a spirit tier cauldron.
Ye Xiao then kept the cauldron in his spatial ring, bowed down a little while cupping his hand and said, "Ye Xiao thanks master for giving disciple such a precious gift."
"Haha, no worry, no worry." Grandmaster Wang laughed and said, "You are here for the competition, right. Go and don't worry, even after you become a disciple of any of the sect, you can still come here to take my guidance. I'll be also there, watching the second round of the competition." Grandmaster Wang said happily.
"Master, now that you gave me such a precious gift. If I don't give you anything then didn't it mean I am unfilial. I also have a gift for you." Ye Xiao smiled and raised his empty hand in front of the Grandmaster Wang. Suddenly a light shined and a medicinal herb appeared in his hand.
"Jade Lotus." Grandmaster Wang looked at the Jade Lotus and said then took it from Ye Xiao. Just as he was about to keep it, he felt that something was wrong.
"Why is its life energy so strong."
"How is this possible. It...It is a grade four Jade Lotus." Grandmaster Wang also exclaimed loudly after seeing that it was actually a Jade Lotus of fourth grade.
"Master is knowledgeable. It is indeed a fourth grade Jade Lotus." Ye Xiao nodded his head in satisfaction after seeing the reaction of Grandmaster Wang.
"What a fourth grade Jade Lotus? Grandmaster Wang is lucky to take a disciple like this who can give a fourth grade medicinal herb as a gift."
"Yes, You are right. And Jade Lotuses are also very rare to come."
"Idiot, it is not that important. What is important is that Jade Lotus can only evolve up-to third grade medicinal herb but this Jade Lotus is of fourth grade. Which is impossible. Looks like this Jade Lotus somehow mutated."
....
....
Peoples present there started gossiping among themselves when they heard that the Jade Lotus that Ye Xiao gifted to his master is of fourth grade.
"This Jade Lotus.... where do you find it?" Grandmaster Wang hurriedly asked.
Hearing this question, everyone's ears perked up.
"I found this Jade Lotus in a lake inside the Cloudsmoke Forest. It was guarded by a second rank magical beast Blood Lizard." Ye Xiao immediately answered. But this answer of his was only half truth. After all he cannot say that he has a heaven defying treasure that can evolve a medicinal herb.
"Looks like you were very lucky to encounter an opportunity like this and what was more amazing is that there was only a second rank magical beast guarding it. This is a fourth grade Jade Lotus so after refining it into a healing pill, it can even heal the injury of a Martial Emperor Realm expert." Grandmaster Wang laughed loudly and patted Ye Xiao's shoulder and then transmitted his voice to Ye Xiao, "Thanks a lot my dear disciple. You don't know that how much you helped me by giving this fourth grade Jade Lotus to me."
I helped you.... By giving this Jade Lotus to you? How?
Ye Xiao murmured this in his heart but didn't asked instead he looked at Grandmaster Wang suspiciously.
When Grandmaster Wang saw the expression of Ye Xiao, he again patted his shoulder and said while smiling , "If you can become a Master Alchemist within one year and can refine a highest tier pill that a Master Alchemist can refine which is a tier 3 pill. At that time I'll tell you everything. And if failed to achieve this, consider it that I never tell you anything."
Ye Xiao also didn't asked anything and he just felt that Grandmaster Wang is a little mysterious person. It was just a feeling that Grandmaster Wang gave to him.
After finishing his sentence, Grandmaster Wang threw a black coloured token to him and then went upstairs.
Ye Xiao caught the token and looked at it. It was full black token with a single red line drawn over it. And on the backside of the token was written Alchemist Association which was giving off a strange aura. It was a token which represented that he was currently an Alchemist Apprentice and can refine a tier one pill.
Even though he never refined any pill until now but who was he? He was the only disciple of Grandmaster Wang and this was the first benefit he gave to Ye Xiao.
And anyway, as a disciple of the Grandmaster Wang, sooner or later he can successfully refine a tier one pill. So, nobody questioned why Grandmaster Wang gave him the token of Alchemist Apprentice.
