Chapter 2587 Grandmaster Status And An Old Acquaintance

Lin Mu gazed at the people who were now left behind. There were some familiar faces among them, as well as a few unfamiliar ones.

The familiar individuals included the Emperor, Crown Prince Feng Shun, Grandmaster Lao, Minister Deng, and Minister Bibon of the Imperial Court.

As for the others present, Lin Mu didn't know them at all. However, judging by the way they stood and carried themselves, Lin Mu could somewhat discern their affiliations.

Two individuals stood near Grandmaster Lao, wearing the robes of alchemy masters, albeit of a lower rank. Both were middle-aged men with cultivation bases at the Fifth Tribulation Stage of the Immortal Realm.

"Lord Imperator, these two are my disciples: Yunye and Yunsan," Grandmaster Lao introduced.

"We greet the Lord Imperator and Grandmaster Alchemist Lin Mu!" The two men cupped their fists and bowed their heads.

Lin Mu had not seen them in the crowd earlier. Their sudden appearance made him think that they had been occupied elsewhere before arriving.

Hearing their greetings, Lin Mu couldn't accept the title entirely.

"I am not a Grandmaster Alchemist," Lin Mu corrected them. "I do not deserve to be called that."

"What!?" The two alchemists were stunned. "But you summoned a Heavenly Phenomenon and created a new method and material," they said, their surprise evident.

Even Grandmaster Lao was slightly taken aback and looked at Lin Mu intently.

"You've done enough to be at the rank of a Grandmaster. You don't need to take a promotion exam at all," Grandmaster Lao stated firmly.

"Ah, the thing is… I've never taken an exam for an alchemist," Lin Mu admitted truthfully. "I've only ever practiced alchemy for personal purposes and never underwent formal evaluations."

"You… what?!" Grandmaster Lao's shock deepened.

Of course, the Grandmaster had checked Lin Mu's credentials before to see what kind of alchemist he might be, but there were no records of him. This wasn't unusual, as some alchemists never registered with the Immortal Court and instead operated through private organizations or informal training.

Sometimes, alchemists learned under hermit masters who preferred to stay hidden, promoting their disciples informally. These disciples would only appear in public during alchemical gatherings or competitions, which served as both a showcase of skill and a platform for formal promotions.
