Although Chemier didn't know Qi Lin's exact Alchemist grade, from his conversation with Qi Lin, he was definitely above the sixth grade.
Because Chemier had also discussed alchemy with Gu He, but the feeling Gu He gave him was far inferior to the feeling Qi Lin gave him.
Although Qi Lin looked very young, the feeling he gave Chemier was like a Grandmaster who could establish his own sect. Just a few casual pointers on some alchemy problems could give him a sense of sudden enlightenment.
He had been stuck at the peak of the fourth-grade Alchemist level for more than ten years, and now he had new insights under Qi Lin's guidance.
He even felt that if he could seclude himself for a year or two, he might be able to break through to a fifth-grade Alchemist.
Just as Chemier was bowing to Qi Lin, a servant's voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.
"President Chemier, that Little Fairy Doctor girl has passed the assessment!"
Chemier stood up, then looked at Qi Lin and said, "Grandmaster Qi Lin, is that Little Fairy Doctor girl your disciple?"
Although Qi Lin looked young, Chemier already regarded him as a reclusive expert who had returned to youth.
How could the companion of such a reclusive expert be only a first-grade Alchemist?
She must be his disciple!
However, after hearing this, Qi Lin looked at Chemier meaningfully, "Does she look like my disciple?"
...
Outside the assessment room, Little Fairy Doctor held Qi Lin's arm, her pretty face showing excitement.
"Qi Lin, I'm an Alchemist now!"
Qi Lin smiled as he looked at Little Fairy Doctor and said, "Now, your wish has come true, hasn't it?"
Little Fairy Doctor nodded happily.
Chemier witnessed this scene and couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
He had thought the two of them were master and disciple!
Who would have thought that this Grandmaster Qi Lin was robbing the cradle!
There was no other way; Chemier's definition of Qi Lin was an alchemy Grandmaster who had returned to youth.
After all, he would never believe that a young man who looked seventeen or eighteen years old could be a sixth-grade Alchemist or higher.
Even if he had started learning alchemy from the womb, it would be impossible to reach such a level at seventeen or eighteen.
However, Chemier's emotions did not change at all. Even though Little Fairy Doctor was only a first-grade Alchemist, he remained extremely respectful, not daring to show any hint of disdain or underestimation.
Chemier then invited Qi Lin and Little Fairy Doctor to dine at the Alchemist Guild and took the opportunity to inform the President of the Alchemist Guild, Fa Ma, about the matter.
After hearing Chemier's notification, Fa Ma immediately appeared and received Qi Lin and Little Fairy Doctor with the highest level of courtesy.
Fa Ma wore a purple Alchemist robe and looked extremely old.
However, his alchemy had reached the peak of the fifth grade, only one step away from becoming a sixth-grade Alchemist, so his knowledge was far beyond Chemier's.
But precisely because of this, after a conversation with Qi Lin, he was even more amazed by Qi Lin's alchemy.
When he was young, he had received guidance from a mysterious Alchemist, and his vision was extraordinary.
However, after a conversation with Qi Lin, he actually felt that Qi Lin's alchemy was not inferior to that senior's.
Could it be that his alchemy had reached the legendary eighth-grade realm!
It should be known that an eighth-grade Alchemist, let alone in this small Gama Empire, would be a rare existence even in the entire Northwest Continent.
As soon as he thought of this, Fa Ma's attitude towards Qi Lin was also extremely respectful.
Although he looked old enough to be Qi Lin's grandfather, he still performed the junior's Thank you when facing Qi Lin.
Qi Lin did not try to dissuade him, but instead took the opportunity to inquire about the whereabouts of the Tianshui Girl Group from Fa Ma and Chemier. The reason he didn't use a communication token to inform them was that he planned to give them a surprise.
Hearing Qi Lin mention the Tianshui Girl Group, Chemier and Fa Ma were both stunned.
"So those girls actually know Grandmaster. No wonder they have such strength at such a young age."
That being said, their gazes flashed across Little Fairy Doctor.
Their intuition told them that the relationship between those girls and Qi Lin was also not simple.
Seeing that Little Fairy Doctor's expression remained unchanged, Fa Ma continued, "I have also heard about those seven girls. I heard that after they showed extraordinary strength, various forces speculated about their identities and origins, suspecting that they came from Central Province."
As he spoke, Fa Ma's gaze lingered on Qi Lin for a moment, clearly speculating that Qi Lin also came from Central Province.
After all, an alchemy Grandmaster who was suspected to be an eighth-grade, the probability of an eighth-grade Alchemist appearing in a remote area like the Northwest Continent was extremely slim.
"Then, President Fa Ma, do you know where they are now?" Qi Lin asked.
"To my knowledge, because various forces speculated that those seven girls were prodigies from Central Province, no one dared to provoke them. The Gama Empire Royal Family and the Yunlan Sect even sent people to try and befriend them."
"If those seven girls haven't left the Imperial Capital, then the Gama Empire Royal Family and the Yunlan Sect should know their whereabouts, or perhaps they are within these two factions."
Qi Lin nodded, then stopped mentioning the girls of the Tianshui Girl Group and instead discussed alchemy with Chemier and Fa Ma. Little Fairy Doctor also listened from the side.
Of course, she only half-understood their conversation.
Most of the time, Qi Lin was speaking eloquently and incessantly.
And Chemier and Fa Ma were like two respectful students listening to a lecture.
As time went on, the more they understood Qi Lin's talent, the more profoundly they realized the excellence of Qi Lin's alchemy. They wanted to apprentice themselves to Qi Lin but were worried that their aptitude was insufficient and they would be rejected.
In the end, they only hoped that Qi Lin could stay at the Alchemist Guild for a few more days, so they would have a chance to show their respect.
Qi Lin naturally rejected their request and left the Alchemist Guild with Little Fairy Doctor at dusk.
Looking at their departing figures, Chemier and Fa Ma sighed.
"What a pity. If Grandmaster Qi Lin could stay at the Alchemist Guild for a few more days, how wonderful that would be." Chemier said with regret.
Fa Ma shook his head and smiled wryly upon hearing this.
"You, be content. It's already a great fortune for us to receive guidance from such a senior."
After speaking, he turned and walked back, saying, "I, this old man, am going into seclusion for a while. I won't be seeing outsiders during this time."
Chemier's pupils slightly contracted, and he said in shock, "President, are you going to attempt to break through to a sixth-grade Alchemist?"
Fa Ma's tone carried a hint of ease.
"I fortunately gained some insight, and aren't you the same? After Grandmaster Qi Lin's guidance, I, this old man, don't think you gained nothing."
Chemier smiled wryly upon hearing this.
"Is breaking through to fifth-grade the same as breaking through to sixth-grade?"
"Alright, stop acting coy after getting a good deal!"
