Reincarnated as an Energy with a System
chapter-274

At the end of the 5 hours of the Alchemy session, Ning felt like he learned a heck of a lot of things. He checked his storage to see the many pills floating around in the void.

Thanks to the time stop in his storage, he wouldn't have to worry about his pills losing potency at all.

"I just need to find a few ingredients and I will have the ingredients to make pills that will improve you guys as well," Ning said to his beasts who were still recuperating in his beast space.

Since they were very strong in their cultivation base now, healing them would cost a lot, so Ning had chosen to let them heal on their own for the most part. But that would take a long time, so he decided to make pills for them. Only he would now need to find ingredients to do so.

He opened the door to the room and walked out. He walked over to one of the registrars and handed him the badge for the door.

"By the way, what should I do if I want to take the grading test?" Ning asked.

"The grading test? Uhh… you will simply need to pay 50 spirit stones and take a 2 part exam. One part will be where you will answer the questions of 3 grade 1 alchemists, and another part where you will make at least a grade 1 pill," the guy at the register said.

"Can I skip grades?" Ning asked expectantly. He really didn't want to go through the exams one after another. That would just end up being a lot of money down the drain for nothing.

"Umm… You can't skip the grades. Well, you can skip the grades, but you will need one of the 2 Highest grade alchemists to vouch for you," the registrar said.

"I see, so I guess I will have to do it all on my own then. Can you please register me for a grading test then?" Ning asked.

"Uh, sure. What day would you like to take the test at?" the registrar asked.

Ning thought for a second and asked, "is it possible today?"

"It's already 4 pm, so the next available one is at 6 pm. If you are willing to wait, I can register you," the registrar said.

"Yes, please do that," Ning said.

The registrar quickly registered him for the evening's grading test. "You will be called in an hour," he said.

"Thank you," Ning said and went over to seat in an empty chair in the guild. He looked towards the wall while he had some free time and read through it.

"Oh, the prices are all mentioned here," Ning thought and read it all. The more he read, the more he realized just how bad his understanding of spirit stones as a currency in the central continent was.

He continued reading and saw just how beneficial it was to become a member of the guilt. As long as you were registered in the guild, you could get a lot of discounts.

The one that shocked Ning the most was the system of the quests. Sometimes, people would come across a problem in their alchemy that they could not solve or needed a pill they couldn't make themselves.

During that moments, those people would come to the guild and hand over a request for the answers. It would usually be along with a sum of spirit stones, and as long as a person took up the quest and did it, they would successfully get half of the reward.

The other half was taken by the guild. However, if the person who solved it was a member of the guild, depending on their rank in the guild, they would get a discount. Meaning, the guild would take less from their end and the person would get more.

'Just what sort of quests are there?' Ning wondered and walked up to the board to check. There were many questions being asked as well as asking people to make pills.

'Huh? These are pretty easy,' Ning thought. 'How do I get these?' he wondered. He tried to search for a way to answer these questions, but he didn't find anything.

'Do I directly write here?' he thought, but quickly removed that thought as that could be considered vandalism. After all, there weren't other people with answers written on the board.

"Excuse me," Ning said as he walked towards the person at the register again. "How do I use those quests? I know the answer to some of them and wanted to solve it," Ning said.

"Are you a guild member?" the man asked him again. There were hundreds of thousands of people coming in and out of the guild, so it was obvious that the man at the register wouldn't remember about his situation.

"Uh, no," Ning said.

"Then please bring a single quest from the pile," the man at the register said. Ning walked over to the board and looked through the list of the quests.

"Hm… these are all equally easy, but the ones where I have to make a pill or give them an ingredient is time-consuming," Ning thought.

"So… I have to choose… this," he picked up a quest and walked over to the registrar.

"For this one please," he said.

The registrar looked at the questions and asked, "What's the answer?"

"The reason that your Ebon Brass Rabbit's legs do not work in the Violent Concealment pill is that the Rabbit's legs have energy in it that is quite tame in nature. You will need to put it in a salt-water solution overnight, and the energy inside the legs is very chaotic and will show violent tendencies, just like the name of the pill suggests," Ning said.

"I see," the registrar said. "Is that all?"

"Yes," Ning answered.

"Very well. I will take the answer and hand it over to the client in the morning tomorrow. Please come back anytime you want to check if the client has accepted or rejected the answer," the registrar said.

"Until tomorrow?" Ning was a little surprised. "What about other quests?"

"A non-member can only do 1 of the quests at the same time," the registrar said.

"Sigh, I guess being a member is quite important to me now."
