The Legend of the Eternal King
Alchemists

Early in the morning Mao Yu woke Shen Mubai up from his cultivation.

"Uncle, try recruiting an alchemist for the Shen Pavilion!" Mao Yu made a request to Shen Mubai expectantly.

Shen Mubai pondered. A lowest grade alchemist that was a basic tier alchemist would at least have to prepare a salary of 10,000 to 20,000 gold pieces.

This made Shen Mubai a little calculated with his daily budget. It was quite heavy as well for a small pavilion like this.

Because the alchemist profession is not a profession that can be taken at random. There is talent, intelligence, accuracy, patience and high discipline.

And also to pursue the title of alchemist requires a large amount of gold pieces.

Only those from wealthy families or core members of sects had the qualifications of learning to become alchemists. And not all of them graduated.

Perhaps one in ten would hold the title of a basic tier alchemist.

"What does the young master want to do with an alchemist?' Shen Mubai asked Mao Yu a question with curiosity.

"I will make Shen Pavilion the number one trading pavilion that is the world leader." Mao Yu replied in a slightly suspicious tone. His eyes turned to the upper right.

Shen Mubai was astonished by what this young master had dreamed of last night. The next morning had a strange request.

But he still obeyed the will of his young master. In a budget he had gold reserves.

At least enough to hire an alchemist in a few months. As soon as I see what the results will be like.

Such as Shen Pavilion running out of gold and can no longer afford to pay then enough with PHK everything will be in order. Shen Mubai steadied his decision.

Shortly after, an announcement was made at the front gate of Shen Pavilion. That they would recruit a basic tier alchemist within a 3 day time limit.

This announcement spread throughout the city. Some people who were in various taverns sneered whether or not this Shen Pavilion could afford an alchemist.

If the one who recruited the alchemist was a big sect, a large clan or a guild was quite reasonable.

Because they all agreed to nurture an alchemist at a considerable cost. Plus buying medicinal ingredients. That's also a pretty big budget.

But what is this Shen Pavilion? Most of them had even just heard there was a pavilion called Shen. They stated that Shen Pavilion chewed more than they could afford.

But the waves of gossip were only a moment on the first day. The second and third days the people did not speak anymore. They are busy with new rumors that make more sense.

***

On the third day Mao Yu came to a small pond in the courtyard of his room. He sat by the pool in a cheerful mood. That today he would obtain an alchemist.

Seeing Mao Yu coming. Little Tan immediately dived, disappearing from sight.

"Bad brat, come up to the surface...!!" Mao Yu was upset with her pet behavior.

"Bad brat, look at your master bringing Crimson Pig meat, Uuuhhh. You know, this is a level 4 beast."

"Little Tan, don't you want to be big and strong like your turtle grandfather?"

Mao Yu seduces by wagging thin slices of meat.

Little tan saw the fresh red colored meat was quite interesting. According to his instinct the meat is rich in nutrients.

He immediately swam to the surface, He opened his mouth wide to immediately devour the meat.

Seeing that Mao Yu laughed out loud.

After finishing feeding Little Tan, Mao Yu intended to catch his little turtle and invite him to play inside his room.

"Based on a brash kid!" Mao Yu became resentful.

***

"Young Master, registration is closed following the list of applicants." Shen Mubai handed a piece of paper to Mao Yu.

Broadly speaking in a short time Mao Yu read there were three suitors. The first asked for a salary of 30,000 gold pieces. The second asked for a salary of 27,500 gold pieces.

"Take the third one." Mao Yu made a decision and handed the sheet of paper to Shen Mubai.

Shen Mubai twitched his brows. He wondered if his young master was already insane.

On a piece of paper written applicant number 3: Lin Fan (15 years). He did not yet possess a basic alchemist title, yet his grandfather was a basic tier alchemist. Salary requested: Just cover me and feed me.

"Don't you think we should skimp?" Mao Yu said innocently.

Shen Mubai squeezed the paper. He wanted to scream loudly. Just this time he felt extremely frustrated about his young master.

Finally no power should how Shen Mubai resignedly handed over this matter to Mao Yu. He was allowed to enter closed-door seclusion.

He said prepare to break through the golden kasaya stage. Though his true purpose he wants to wash his hands of this problem.

In the main hall, Mao Yu accepted the young man a year younger than her. A little shorter than Mao Yu.

Compared to him, his skin color was much brighter than Mao Yu who was slightly brownish. His eyes shone brightly full of life and confidence.

After Lin Fan introduced himself excitedly and exposed his vision. Mao Yu was pleased with the personality of this child.

Mao Yu took Lin Fan on a short tour of Shen Pavilion to a stop in a hall-like building.

Quite spacious and has several rooms with facilities cots, shelves, cabinets and others. Complete enough for the means of work and living.

"Fan-er, this workshop is your work space from now on. You'll stay here. Use some space." Mao Yu introduced the facility.

"Good young master." Lin Fan replied with enthusiasm.

"Yes, Fan-er is trying to show you how to make a basic recovery pill! I want to see how your methods and results look like!" Mao Yu was curious about this new alchemist ability.

Lin Fan was silent and blushed for quite a long time.

"Wait for what else? Do it!" Mao Yu had run out of patience

"Young master, can you lend me a cauldron!" Lin Fan replied in a whispering tone.

Mao Yu : " ... ? ... "

Shen Mubai sitting in the zen position turned out that he was not cultivating, yet he expanded his perception eavesdropping on the young master duo's conversation with his recruiting alchemist.

Seeing the incident he giggled until his neck sank and his face reddened.

Mao Yu scowled feeling spied on she turned back by widening her soul perception towards Shen Mubai at a much stronger rate.

Shen Mubai gasped from his giggling. He directly circulated the natural energy. He was cultivating for real now. But in his heart was a joyous laughter of victory.
