"To think one can fathom the art of alchemy with just a book? What a fool's dream! I have barely grasped the basics of alchemy, even with my grandfather's personal teaching and guidance since childhood!"
Sun Yun laughed mockingly to himself as he walked.
An accomplished alchemist needs not only theoretical knowledge but also a wealth of practice and experience, spending money like water. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so few alchemists in the vast Ink Forest Prefecture City, all of whom are members of great clans, possessing the means and resources to build an experienced alchemist!
Therefore, in Sun Yun's view, Su Changkong's attempt to learn alchemy from a book wasn't likely to succeed. He imagined Su would give up after a few days of trying, facing several setbacks, and suffering heavy losses.
Su Changkong, of course, didn't know what Sun Yun was thinking. He carefully put away the Precious Pill Record and headed back to the estate he had rented in the west side of the city.
