"The Guest Minister token and a standard membership emblem are for entirely different kinds of people. Any Alchemist who obtains an Alchemist badge is a member of our Alchemist Association. But a Guest Minister token is given only to top-tier Alchemists who have either made outstanding contributions to the Association or possess such heaven-defying talent that the Association cannot hope to restrain them."
"I know Chairman Hua's character very well. He is not one to play favorites, nor does he abuse his authority. Furthermore, his standards for judging people are extremely high. He wouldn't give a second glance to anyone whose talent didn't defy the heavens and surpass his own."
"Ye Xuan is so young—what kind of outstanding contribution could he have possibly made to the Alchemist Association? I heard he has a Second Grade Alchemist badge. And in our Blue Moon City Alchemist Association, the only person qualified to issue a Second Grade Alchemist badge is Chairman Hua himself."
