Qin Ya gazed intently at Nangong Wen. 'Truly befitting of an emperor,' he thought. 'The moment he realized my value, he immediately extended such a generous offer to recruit me.' The rest of the crowd seemed to be thinking the same thing.
"His Majesty moves fast. He must have had this planned ever since Qin Ya refined the Seventh-Grade Elixir. Otherwise, there's no way this imperial edict could have been drafted so quickly. Heh, he's the Emperor, after all."
"A Seventh-Grade Alchemist is someone every major power would vie for. With this move, His Majesty is undoubtedly announcing to the world that Qin Ya has been recruited. And with the Empire gaining a Seventh-Grade Alchemist, its strength will surely increase immensely."
"It's going to be difficult for anyone else to recruit Qin Ya now."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
