Alchemist

The Alchemists are divided into three factions:

The Creators Faction

The Mineral Faction

The Star Diviners Faction

According to "the old man" who Dudian met in chapter 21, he worded it as following.

“I did not think you knew so much. But there are two alchemist faction. One school studies the basic materials to manufacture the ‘Philosopher’s stone’ to gain the eternal life. The other group, including me, study the living things to create ‘life’, to become the Creator!”

(Chapter 21)

In chapter 25, a Knight hunting for the Alchemists briefly talked about "Star Diviners".
