As the only gray-robe alchemist in a small area like Blackhot City, of course Master Abyan was qualified to be called a master.
Being different from the senile image that many people had about masters, although Master Abyan was over 50 years old, because of good maintenance, he looked much younger than his real age. With a 30-odd man's look, Master Abyan featured the charms of a mature man.
Younger appearance seemed to be a common feature among alchemists. All them tended to look much younger than their real age.
Master Abyan was such a person who would be recognized as an alchemist the moment you saw him.
A 50-odd gray-robe alchemist was already excellent achievement although not a genius in the world of alchemists. Similar to the hierarchical system of the Norman Empire, alchemists also had many ranks like herbal medicine apprentice, knapsack physician, suspended-gourd alchemist, girdling alchemist, and gray-robe alchemist.
