Chapter: 1574
Meanwhile, inside the Pill Alchemist Association, Maria had yet to embark on her journey.
She was about to board the car and depart when Grover had already revved up the engine.
However, Jadiel rushed over and intercepted Maria.
"Is there anything, Mr. Lawrence?" Maria asked.
"Well, you don't need to address me like that. Just call me Jadiel if you like," Jadiel said with a smile.
In the realm of martial arts, strength reigned supreme.
Witnessing Maria's prowess in the exam, Jadiel grew more astounded and began to question whether his alchemical skills paled in comparison to hers.
Unaware of Maria's status as the M of the Heaven, the presence of a young sixth-grade pill alchemist commanded Jadiel's attention.
"I was occupied with some other matters earlier," Jadiel explained, deciding to keep Maria in the dark about Lilliana being the spy, considering her recent admission to the association.
After a brief pause, he added, "I had someone convey the mentor assignment, but unfortunately, he didn't explain it clearly."
"Oh?"
Maria's interest was piqued since she hadn't been assigned a mentor by the association. Now, she fixed her gaze on Jadiel.
Jadiel rushed to clarify, “As per our association's traditions, mentors double as instructors. However, sixth-grade pill alchemists like you can often be self-taught, so..."
“I get it," Maria replied, unfazed by the absence of a mentor assigned by the association.
To be honest, if they had assigned one, she would have considered it peculiar.
After all, all masters could provide was guidance. Pill alchemists had to practice.
In various professions in the world of martial arts, practitioners typically set out on a path of self-improvement once they reach the fifth or sixth level.
“However, I've enhanced your privileges within our association's internal system. Since you're a newcomer, all the privileges of a sixth-grade pill alchemist couldn't be granted to you yet. But you could enjoy that of a fifth-grade pill alchemist. You'll have access to 70% of our association's database."
After a brief contemplation, Jadiel added, "I anticipate that your privileges will be elevated to match mine over time, granting you access to 75% of the core database content."
“Thank you," Maria expressed her gratitude with a warm, sweet smile.
Maria reciprocated his kindness with genuine sincerity.
“Furthermore... Jadiel felt Like he had taken up enough of Maria's time and became embarrassed.
“Since you're now a part of our association, would you consider allowing the Three Swirling Golden Pill you crafted during the exam to be included in the Pharmacopoeia?"
For a pill alchemist, having their creation documented in the prestigious Pharmacopoeia was a matter of great honor.
