Chapter 3: Start Cultivating_1
```
After drinking the bitter medicine for several days in a row, Dugu Qianye felt like she could hardly tell up from down. Each time after taking the medicine, she thought to herself that she definitely needed to get her hands on so-called elixirs in the future, as she never wanted to experience this daily medicine routine again.
Mo Feng told Dugu Qianye that for external injuries like hers, a primary-level Recovery Pill would do, and her wounds would heal in no more than two days. Elixirs were very effective, but also very expensive, because becoming an alchemist was difficult, and getting alchemists to make elixirs was even harder.
To become an alchemist, one must first be a Phantom Master, as alchemy required the input of Phantom Power. Next, one needed strong spiritual power, as the higher the grade of the elixir, the stronger the spiritual power required to control the alchemy process. Finally, it came down to talent, without which, even a hundred years of study wouldn't make one an alchemist.
Elixirs were divided into 12 grades, grades 1-3 being primary level, those who could make primary-level elixirs were called Primary Alchemists. Grades 4-6 were intermediate, 7-9 were advanced, and 10-12 were grandmaster level. On the Xuanyue Continent, the vast majority of alchemists were at the primary and intermediate levels, with only a small portion being advanced alchemists, and even fewer were grandmasters, with a country possibly having only a few.
Because alchemists were rare, their status was high, which meant that most alchemists were quite arrogant and seldom made elixirs for others. Coupled with the cost of ingredients and such, elixirs could be called luxury pills, unaffordable to ordinary folk.
"Alchemy, huh? I could learn it if I get the chance in the future. If I'm out of money, I could even sell some elixirs to make some cash," thought Dugu Qianye.
It seemed someone had completely forgotten that her host body was a waste who couldn't cultivate Phantom Power.
After being fed medicine by Mo Feng for so many days, her injuries had mostly healed. She moved her hands and feet, which she thought she would lose the use of, and felt like she was coming back to life.
