Zhutian: Invincible from the Martial Spirit

Chapter 40: Jiama Imperial Capital (Please read and vote)
Alchemy and alchemists are one of the distinctive professions in the Douqi Continent.

They can refine all kinds of elixirs that can enhance strength. Every alchemist is worthy of being won over by all forces and has an extremely prominent status.

On the contrary, weapon refiners and formation masters are rare in the Douqi Continent, and have not formed a systematic career path.

There are not many famous weapons on the Douqi Continent. There are some powerful formations, but they are few in number.

Therefore, cities with Alchemist Guilds are all first-class cities in the Gama Empire.

Wutan City, where Xiao Yan was located, was considered a big city, but it was only a low-end city. There was no Alchemist Guild and few alchemists lived there.

In order to become a disciple of a high-level alchemist, Gu Yi rode his red-blooded horse directly to the capital of the Gama Empire, the 'Gama Holy City'.

The imperial capital is the center of the Gama Empire, and is home to many powerful people.

The Alchemist Guild in the imperial capital gathers the largest and most powerful alchemists in the Gama Empire.

Among them there are some fifth- and sixth-grade alchemists.

And Gu Yi’s target is them.

If he doesn't want to find a fifth- or sixth-grade alchemist to be his master, Gu Yi might as well just take the Yunhai Sect's alchemist as his master.

As one of the top forces in Xueyue Country, Yunhai Sect has trained many alchemists.

Although they looked at the entire Jiuxiao Continent, their alchemy skills were not at a high level, and the most powerful ones could only refine some spiritual-grade elixirs suitable for the spiritual martial realm.

But on the Douqi Continent, their rank is at least third or fourth grade alchemist.

They are more than qualified to be the Dandao teachers in the early period of Gu Yi.

As a genius, he can get strong support from the Yunhai Sect, which makes it easier for him to become an alchemist.

The reason why Gu Yi chose to go far away and become a disciple in the Douqi Continent was because the higher the grade of the alchemist, the higher the level of his teaching to his disciples would be.

Gu Yi became their disciple, and through learning from them, his alchemy skills improved faster.

Moreover, these high-level alchemists have a lot of pill recipes to pass on, so Gu Yi doesn't have to work hard to collect and purchase them himself.

Of course, Gu Yi could also learn from alchemists from both worlds at the same time and combine the essence of alchemy from both worlds into one.

Anyway, the other party cannot cross the world and does not know the existence of another master.

With the alchemy inheritance from these two worlds, and through mutual learning and verification, Gu Yi will be able to grow faster.

With [Enlightenment], he would not worry about having too much knowledge to learn, which would slow down his cultivation speed.

……

In less than two days, Gu Yi arrived at the Holy City of Gama from the eastern province of the Gama Empire.

Ahead, the outline of a city that was even more majestic than Broken Blade City gradually emerged. There were a large number of carriages and flying magical beasts on the roads and in the air, making it extremely prosperous.

Following the crowd into the Holy City of Gama, Gu Yi went straight to the headquarters of the Alchemist Guild.

The location of the Alchemist Guild headquarters was known to everyone in the imperial capital. Gu Yi just asked someone and found out its exact location.

After walking along several long streets, Gu Yi saw a majestic building surrounded by a faint scent of elixir.

Gu Yi observed the Alchemist Guild for a long time and found that in order to get in, one must at least be an alchemist apprentice or have a letter of introduction from an alchemist mentor.

But he came here just to find an alchemist as his teacher, so how could he have a letter of introduction...

"It seems that I have to become an apprentice of a pharmacist first..." After pondering for a long time, Gu Yi decided to buy a bunch of books on medicinal properties and pharmacology in the imperial capital and study them by himself.

If you want to become a pharmacist, you must first be familiar with the pharmacology and medicinal properties of various medicinal materials.

Otherwise, if you don't understand the pharmacology and medicinal properties of the herbs, you will be confused and have no idea where to start when refining the medicine.

If you forcibly use medicinal materials to make pills, the success rate will be frighteningly low.

This is also the only way for alchemist apprentices.

These books on pharmacology and medicinal properties are not expensive, unlike high-grade elixir prescriptions, and can be easily purchased near the Alchemist Guild.

Because in addition to alchemists, the Douqi Continent also has "doctors" who treat patients on a daily basis. Their knowledge of the medicinal properties and pharmacology of various medicinal materials is no worse than that of some low-level alchemists.

It is only because their souls do not have the dual attributes of fire and wood, or their soul perception is not high, that they cannot become alchemists.

In addition to the books on the Douqi Continent, Gu Yi also returned to the Yunhai Sect and collected some related books within the sect.

In the following time, Gu Yi stayed in the inn in the capital of Jiama, studying the contents of these medicine books and medical books day and night.

Gu Yi comes from a family of herbalists in this life. There are simple books on medicinal materials at home. He has been collecting herbs to support himself since he was three years old.

Therefore, he has had some knowledge of pharmacology since he was a child.

Moreover, Gu Yi's comprehension and wisdom have reached an extremely high level after many improvements, and photographic memory is a basic ability.

Even without [Enlightenment], in just a few days, Gu Yi had memorized the contents of hundreds of different medicine books and medical books, and had broken them down and understood them.

Even though the various medicinal materials in Jiuxiao Continent and Douluo Continent are not the same, and the contents recorded in medical books and pharmacy books vary greatly, the medicinal properties of some medicinal materials are similar and can be used as substitutes for pill recipes and medicine prescriptions.

With repeated verification, Gu Yi's attainments in pharmacology continued to improve, and soon he was no worse than an ordinary first-grade alchemist.

Enough of theory, the next natural step is practice.

For this purpose, Gu Yi specially asked for three lowest grade yellow-level inferior pill recipes from his grandmaster 'Bei Lao'.

——Old Bei happens to be one of the alchemists in Yunhai Sect.

As the guardian of the sect, Old Bei has lived too long, and his martial arts potential has basically reached its limit, and his strength has not improved for decades.

Therefore, Mr. Bei began to study alchemy and spent a long time becoming an alchemist.

However, his alchemy skills were not very high, only reaching the upper level of the yellow grade. He could refine some low-level elixirs such as "Guiyuan Dan", "Peiyuan Dan", "Zhuyan Dan" and so on that were needed by warriors in the Qiwu realm.

As for the spiritual pills needed for the Lingwu Realm, even though he was a Xuanwu Realm expert, he did not have the ability to refine them.

When I learned that Gu Yi wanted to learn alchemy and become an alchemist.

Old Bei was a little surprised and persuaded Gu Yi to focus all his energy on practicing martial arts.

Although alchemy is good, it is ultimately just a side path.

The most important thing to avoid in the path of martial arts is being indecisive. Once your energy is dispersed, you won't be able to do anything well.

Old Bei didn't want Gu Yi, a martial arts genius, to waste his martial arts talent by focusing part of his energy on alchemy.

But Gu Yi proved with facts that his talent in alchemy was no weaker than his talent in martial arts.
