    After a long time, Mr. Simmons nodded and replied, “Since you’vee here to be a student, you should


    be mentally prepared to be one.


    “My nephew asked me for this favor, so I’ll naturally agree to it. Gilbert, go find a room for him. In the


    future, you’ll be his senior. Remember to bring him along wherever you go.”


    Gilbert tried his best to control his expression that was about to sour. He let out a stiff smile and uttered,


    “Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of him.”


    Even though he did his best to control his tone, Jacke could still feel something amiss despite the in


    nature of his words. He nced at Gilbert.


    Gilbert looked quite friendly, but Jacke could feel a coldness behind that warm exterior.


    Gilbert was incredibly unhappy at Jacke’s arrival. It was as if Gilbert was afraid that Jacke would steal his


    position.

    That surprised Jacke. Gilbert did not even give Jacke a chance to speak before he raised his right hand


    and stood aside,


    “Come with me, I’ll arrange somewhere for you to stay. From today on, you’ll| be one of my fellow


    students in Heavenly Pills.”Jacke nodded.

    After that, he turned to look at Chandler. Chandler let out a sigh before he nodded earnestly.


    “I’ll be leaving at noon tomorrow. Before I leave, I want to treat you to a meal. You mustn’t refuse.”

    Chandler emphasized his words very heavily. Jacke was still quite thankful to Chandler. Since Chandler


    was willing to treat him to a meal he would naturally not refuse it.


    After nodding, he followed Gilbert.


    They went toward the back door of the hall. When Jacke disappeared, Mr. Simmons turned around to


    look at Chandler.


    “You seem to have a lot of respect for this brat. Is he someone special?


    Gilbert pursed his lips helplessly, shaking his head.”He’s no one special. I just think he’s a good person.


    It’s worth being good Mr. Simmons could not help but raise an eyebrow. Even though he did not agree


    with Chandler’s words, he could not be bothered to give any advice. After a sigh, he pulled Chandler


    aside.


    He had the servants prepare some tea, As the two of them drank, they chatted.


    This time, Chandler wanted to talk about what had happened in his journey. However, he would definitely


    end up involving Jacke if he went into detail.


    Jacke had already told Chandler to not tell anyone else about him.


    Chandler could understand from Jacke’s point of view, so he temporarily ignored what had happened.

    “I remember Heavenly Pills epted twenty students two years ago,” Chandler said after taking a sip of


    tea.


    He had been asking for Jacke’s sake, but he was curious himself as well.


    Mr. Simmons nodded, “You remember quite well. That year, we did ept twenty students,”


    He let out a dryugh while saying, “Yet there was only one who was able to be a sixth-grade


    alchemist. There are so few people who can understand the Way of the Pill and condense pill auras.”


    It’s so hard to produce even one sixth-grade alchemist, let alone seventh or eighth-grade ones… There


    is only one eighth-grade alchemist in Heavenly Pills.


    The eighth-grade alchemist is basically the living ancestor. He doesn’t trouble himself with general


    affairs.
