Is that a Wisp?

Krune immediately exited the World of Laws and accessed the network with his communicator. Because the Knowledge test was over, no rules were impeding the competitors from using it anymore.

'Where is it, where is it? I know I saw that technique somewhere around here.'

Krune kept looking for that technique for over 10 minutes when he finally spotted his target.

'That's it!'

-Mind Splitting Technique: Capable of making the mind work in separate tasks at the same time without losing focus.

Beginner level: Three tasks at once

Intermediate level: Five tasks at once

Advanced level: Seven tasks at once

Fully Learned: Ten tasks at once.

Warning: Although you won't lose the focus on those tasks, your capability of processing them will be affected if the Soul isn't strong enough.-

As mentioned before, the Dalin Universe had an unlimited number of techniques for sale. Even techniques at the level of Sect or Clan treasure in the Luvile Universe were available as long as you had the necessary spirit stones or items for the trade.

Krune then proceeded to check the price, and suddenly, his face went dark, and then purple!

'THIS IS DAYLIGHT ROBBERY!'

-Price: 150000 Rank 8 Spirit Stones or equivalent in lesser or higher rank ones.-

So far, as an Alchemist, Krune had gathered a little bit more than 11 thousand Rank 6 Spirit Stones. He needed 10 Rank 6 Spirit Stones to get one Rank 7 Spirit Stone. After that, he needs another 10 Rank 7 to exchange for one Rank 8 Spirit Stone. Simply Put, let alone 150000, Krune's total wealth couldn't be considered more than a hundred or so Rank 8 Spirit Stones.

Krune then immediately started to think about a method to make more Spirit Stones faster. It was then that he remembered a thing.

'Wait, aren't Golden Stars Level Pills worth a whole lot more than the Silver Stars?'

Krune then accessed the Alchemist Network and looked for jobs that required Golden Stars Level pills. When he saw the average payment for the jobs, his eyes lit up!

'Holy shit! They are worth over a hundred times more!'

That was to be expected. As mentioned before, to make pills at the Golden Stars Level, one must understand at least one Law. Usually, alchemists would only reach this level in the middle of the Soul Forging Realm. In the Dalin Universe, it was possible to find Divine Soul Realm at this level too. Still, they are quite rare. One could see it by the fact that after gathering the Alchemist Geniuses of the entire Solar System, they only had three who understood a Law.

Not to mention that the fact that three Golden Stars Alchemist under the age of 35 is an occurrence extremely rare. Most of the Junior Alchemist Competitions usually didn't have a single one. For example, on the Formations Master Junior Competition, there wasn't even a single Golden Stars Formations Master under the age of 35 participating.

In the end, Golden Stars Pills are simply worth much more than any Silver Star Pill will ever be. They are in a completely different Universe from each other. There is also the issue with the Herbs and Minerals necessary to create Golden Stars Level Pills, which increase their price even more.

Of course, those who buy or put on the jobs related to that level are usually at the Soul Forging Realm at the very least. So it goes without saying that they are several times richer than the majority under their cultivation level. They do have the wealth to pay for those pills.

'If there is one thing that I hate more than attracting attention, it is to not have enough money.'

He looked at the time and saw the there was still a little bit over four hours before the competition finished. Krune then spread his Divine Sense and soon found Palo on the stage in the distance.

"Senior Palo, would you mind hearing a request?"

Palo, who was still thinking about how to approach Krune about the recruiting issue, was taken aback by that message.

"Oh! Sure, what is it?"

Krune remembered the conversation he had with Feifei and the fact that she was taken in as an in name member of the Formations Master Organization Headquarters. According to what Feifei said, she would have access to even better-paid jobs once she enters it. Krune thought that the Alchemist Guild would most likely have the same advantages.

"I know that because I'm a wisp, I can't join the Headquarters as a fully-fledged member. But is it possible to join it as an in name member? I don't need any cultivation of alchemist training resources, I just want access to the jobs available there."

Palo couldn't help but think if Krune had heard his conversation with the Headmaster, but he soon excluded that possibility. There is no way he wouldn't have noticed Krune with their difference in level.

'Still, this is indeed a heaven-sent coincidence.'

"Cough, cough. Well, considering your talent, it shouldn't be a problem if I recommend you. But it will really be as you said, you can have access to the facilities and jobs available in the headquarters. But you won't receive a single Spirit Stone or alchemist training materials like Herbs and Minerals from us."

"Still, it doesn't change the fact that it's worth accepting it. Who knows? If you prove that you can become a high-level alchemist, the Headquarters might make an exception and accept you as a real member."

Krune shook his head and said.

"Don't worry, I don't want to become a real member since I would be bound by some duties. The in name member is exactly what I want at the moment. Besides, I would like to keep my real identity secrecy status the same way it is. Would that be possible?"

Palo felt it weird that Krune didn't want to become a real member. Even if real members do have duties to take care of, the advantages are far more worth it.

'Well, I only said that he might become a real member so that he would be put more effort. I don't think he would become one anyway, so I guess this situation also plays in my favor.'

He looked at Krune in the distance and pretended to be thinking about it. Sometime later, he agreed with Krune's terms.

"Very well, identity secrecy is something that quite a few young members have anyway, so it's not a problem to keep yours too. Since you have no problem with the in name membership disadvantages, I guess it won't be a problem to accept you with your skills."

Palo then put a serious expression and said.

"However, I have a condition. You have to concoct a pill worth of your level as Alchemist. This is, after all, an Alchemist Competition. So prove to me that I'm not wrong in accepting you in the Headquarters by showing your skills here."

Krune's eyes lit up after hearing that.

"Thank you, senior Palo."

"There is no need to thank me, just make sure you don't shame the name of the Alchemist Organization."

Krune nodded and said.

"Alright, let me see if I can make a Golden Star Level pill. That should be enough to not let the organization down."

Palo nodded, and they finished their conversation. But a second later, Palo noticed something wrong with Krune's words.

'Did he just say that he will make a Golden Star Level Pill?'

Palo pondered a bit.

'I guess he just misspoke. Yes, that should be it. He had just comprehended his very first Law, not to mention that he is still a Six Silver Stars Alchemist. There is no way he can jump three stars and breakthrough into the next realm this easily. Also, the issue of using the Law he understood into the pill concoction isn't something that you can just learn in the remaining 4 hours.'

Assuring himself about this, Palo once more started to pay attention to the alchemists in the competition.

Krune then went to check the list of herbs available and soon decided on which pill he would concoct.

'Well, there aren't many pills that I know about at the Golden Stars Level, so I will just go with the easiest I can think about.'

Krune then selected the Herbs and Minerals necessary to make a Cultivation Stabilizing Pill. This is one of the pills that have several different stars level. A Golden Star Cultivation Stabilizing Pill was effective for Soul Forging and even Void Breaking Realm Cultivators and Demon Beasts. It could be said that such a pill would be a waste if used by anyone at the Divine Soul Realm or below.

Krune had made many of these pills at the Bronze and Silver Stars level, so he couldn't be more proficient with it. Of course, he knows that the other Golden Stars Alchemists are bound to make better and harder pills, so he doesn't have the intention to surpass them to start with.

'This is all for the sake of entering the Headquarters as an in name member. As long as I can accomplish that, a little bit of attention won't be a problem.'
