It is well known that alchemists are a noble and scarce profession, divided into five levels, each with three sub-levels: high, mid, and low. The first three levels correspond to the Qi Refining Realm, while the last two correspond to the Foundation Establishment True Person Realm! A Third-Level Alchemist, at best, corresponds only to the Late Stage Qi Refining Realm. Is such praise truly warranted?
From Chen Fei's personal perspective, he was indeed qualified to look down on a so-called mere Third-Level Alchemist. But considering the reality of the Cultivation World, never mind Third-Level Alchemists; even low-level First and Second-Level Alchemists were extremely popular and respected, sought after by all the major powers! This was because any alchemist who could successfully produce pills represented Spirit Stones, and therefore, wealth.
And what did a Third-Level Alchemist represent?
