Chapter 74: The Peerless Pill Venerable (2)
Alchemy? The old man was actually an alchemist?
Su Chen was genuinely surprised. In this world, alchemists enjoyed extremely high status and were by far the wealthiest profession, without exception. Still, to avoid revealing anything unusual, he played dumb and asked anyway.
"Alchemy… that's the most revered profession in the world. Once you become an alchemist, power, status, beauties—everything becomes within reach."
Speaking of alchemy, Su Weichang's face lit up with pride.
Su Chen was curious. "Old man, since you're an alchemist, why are you still living in this remote corner?"
At the question, Su Weichang's expression darkened.
"That matter… if the time comes, you'll understand naturally."
And so Su Chen began learning alchemy under Su Weichang. His physique in this life was called the Seven Apertures Exquisite Body—a supreme enlightened constitution that made learning anything twice as effective with half the effort.
"Chen'er, alchemy is an extremely difficult art. Even the most ordinary first-grade alchemist cannot be achieved overnight."
