Ch. 1951..1960

Life After Prison Chapter 1951-Severin brought his Dragonstand Furnace. The palm–sized cauldron grew to the size of a millstone as soon as it came into view. The inscriptions engraved on the bronze walls began to light up, and a white. flame materialized through Severin’s spiritual power. In an instant, the entire cauldron turned a blazing red, and its temperature was hot enough to burn the surrounding air.

Once he had done the necessary preparations, Severin glanced at the nearby Emery, who summoned a palm–sized cauldron from her spatial ring as soon as she landed. The purple–hued four–legged cauldron. bore faint inscriptions and began to glow radiantly as soon as she channeled her spiritual power in.

In less than a minute, the purple cauldron became engulfed in large purple flames, and the energy fluctuations emitted from it was comparable to ninth– grade spiritual equipment. The scorching air waves distorted the surrounding space, surpassing the aura and temperature of Severin’s Dragonstand Furnace.

Severin could feel the searing heat despite being three meters away from her.

Severin narrowed her eyes and observed the purple cauldron closely and wondered, ‘Is that a four- chambered cauldron? His Dragonstand Furnace was already on the level of a spiritual weapon, yet the flames produced by Emery’s cauldron far surpassed his.

Aware of the clear disparity between them, Severin remained composed and withdrew his gaze. He believed in his ability to secure victory despite the quality of Emery’s cauldron.

The appearance of that peculiar cauldron sparked commotion among the spectators.

“Isn’t that the Purplecloud Cauldron, one of the three major cauldrons on the Sixth Mountain?” “This is a four–chambered cauldron that is on par with that of a ninth–grade spiritual weapon. It increases. the success rate by a whopping twenty percent!” “I heard that this cauldron serves not only as a four–chambered cauldron, but also connects to the fire of earth. This will reduce the alchemist’s spiritual energy consumption!” “Severin might be facing an uphill battle after Emery brought out this treasure!” A quality cauldron amplified an alchemist’s abilities significantly, Improving their success rate and minimizing their spiritual energy loss. The spectators did not seem too optimistic of Severin’s chances after Emery unveiled the Purplegloud Cauldron.

The elders frowned at the unfolding scene as they stood suspended In the air above the Alchemy Tower. Ferland, in particular, glanced insipidly at Daniella and Jasted, ‘My, I didn’t think you’d be willing to give the Purplecloud Cauldron to your apprentice.” +15 BONUS The Purplecloud Cauldron was one of three major four–chambered cauldrons owned by the Sixth Mountain. It was notable for being more than just a pill cauldron, as it was forged using materials that ninth–grade spiritual weapons were made of. As a result, it could even function as a weapon in times of crisis.

Life After Prison Chapter 1952-An average person might not find the Purplecloud Cauldron’s combat function useful, but its usefulness toward an alchemist could not be understated. After all, its success rate was boosted by twenty percent!

By allowing Emery to use it, Daniella was blatantly handing her a clear advantage over Severin.

Knowing that Ferland deemed her actions somewhat unjust, Daniella shamelessly remarked with a smile, “She insisted on using my cauldron because she was afraid of losing” The surrounding elders were not pleased to hear Daniella’s remark, for they felt that she had gone too far in protecting her apprentice. Her actions left Ferland speechless, but since the contest was already underway, all he could do was remain silent and hope that Severin might not have it too difficult.

Meanwhile, Raymond and Celeste were showed a similar disapproval of Daniella’s actions, Celeste, being a sixth–grade alchemist herself, was particularly disgusted by Daniella’s coddling. The Purplecloud.

Cauldron was a four–chambered cauldron that functioned to increase the alchemist’s success rate by twenty percent. The percentage rate seemed small, but it was significant enough to possibly impact the quality of Emery’s pills.

Raymond turned to Celeste and asked, “I’m curious to know your opinion on Severin’s chances of winning.

Celeste frowned and found his question to be rather tricky to answer. After a moment of silence, she replied, “Not very high, if I’m honest. Severin might have surpassed Emery in the Alchemy Tower rankings, but the fact remained that Emery is Daniella’s apprentice. The added guidance that she received, and the high–quality cauldron she had been allowed to use, are factors that seem to tip the scales toward Emery’s favor.” By Celeste’s reckoning. Severin’s remarkable alchemical talent and success in reaching the sixth floor of the Alchemy Tower in half a month were feats worthy of admiration. However, achieving victory against Emery and the Purplecloud Cauldron might require one to have the ability of a sixth–grade medium–rank alchemist.

Less than half a month had passed since Severin entered the sixth floor, and the time was too short for Severin reach that level of proficiency. Even Celeste, with her alchemy–inclined talent, took three months to craft a sixth–grade medium–rank pill like the Crystal Spring Pill after entering the sixth floor.

Raymond frowned. “I suppose I should prepare myself to be disappointed today.

I thought I’d get the chance to witness Severin’s abilities, but a defeat seems to be the most likely outcome now.” He had heard about the bet between Emery and Severin–if Severin lost the tournament, then the position of the core disciple would have to change hands.

Should that happen, it would be pointless for Raymond +15 BONUS As Raymond was contemplating on leaving. Ferland’s voice echoed across the field. “Now that both of you have fired up your cauldrons, the contest will officially begin!” Ferland raised his hand and produced hundreds of sixth–grade materials from his spatial ring. He arranged them meticulously at the center of the open area. As the witness invited to preside over the contest, Ferland was not only responsible for maintaining order but also for providing the necessary materials. At the sight of the herbs, Severin sprang into action and raised his hand to start the Crystal Spring Pill’s crafting process!

Life After Prison Chapter 1953-After taking the requisite materials, Severin promptly channeled his divine senses and activated the flames beneath the cauldron. Once the temperature reached the desired level, he raised his hand and opened the lid with telekinesis before placed the materials in one by one.

Celeste had a surprised expression when she saw Severin’s choice of material.

“Millennia–old Violetsun Flower? Two–millennia–old Snowlotus? Aren’t these materials used to craft the Crystal Spring Pill!” The Crystal Spring Pill was a sixth–grade medium–rank pill that demanded over twenty ingredients, making it one of the more challenging recipes. Though a sixth–grade high–rank alchemist like Celeste would have no difficult with the Crystal Spring Pill, she wondered if Severin was attempting that recipe because he had reached that level too. However, she could not fathom how that would be the case when Severin had just reached the sixth floor of the Alchemy Tower just half a month ago. The Crystal Spring Pill was incredibly tricky, and a single failed attempt might allow Emery to catch up to him with the aid of the Purplecloud Cauldron.

Meanwhile, Raymond was just about to consider leaving when noticed Celeste’s puzzled expression. As a core disciple, he was familiar with the Crystal Spring Pill and understood the challenges faced by a sixthgrade alchemist attempting to craft it. The tournament’s rules placed emphasis on crafting a superior- quality pill. It was simple enough for anyone to understand.

Both Raymond and Celeste were perplexed by Severin’s choice, and their curiosity was piqued after they confirmed that Severin’s chose to start with the Crystal Spring Pill. After all, it was usually attempted by sixth–grade low–rank alchemists at the very least.

Raymond smiled and muttered, “This might be interesting… His expressions were mirrored by Daniella, the seventh–grade alchemist and guardian of the Sixth Mountain. The other elders and peak masters had the same expressions too.

Daniella’s expression was rather solemn as she contemplated Severin’s alchemical prowess. “He’s attempting the Crystal Spring Pill? Has he already made a breakthrough to sixth–grade medium–rank alchemist?” Everyone’s attention was on Severin as he began to craft the a sixth–grade medium–rank Crystal Spring Pill. His hands moved with incredible speed, placing Individual materials into the cauldron with an unwavering focus.

His opponent, Emery, chose to refine the sixth–grade medium–rank Qingling Pill. Under her master’s guidance, she had earlier made a breakthrough to sixth–grade alchemist. With the Purplecloud Cauldron’s twnety percent boost in success rate, Emery confidently tackled the challenge of refining sixth–grade medium–rank pills.

+15 BONUS Pill quality was classified into four levels: inferior, mediocre, superior, and elite.

The golden lines present within the finished pill was what defined their quality level to a non–alchemist. As the crafting process required a mixture of the surrounding energy and the essence of one’s life, the mark of a pill’s quality was determined by the lines.

One to three golden lines denoted an inferior–quality pill. Three to six would be classified as mediocre- quality pills, or in laymen’s terms–the minimum standard required for ordinary pills. The seven to eight- lined superior–quality pills were much rarer than their lower–quality counterparts, and nine–lined pills were undoubtedly true elite–quality pills.

The spectators in the open area were all astounded by the contestant’s rapid refinement abilities.

“The gap between mere mortals like us and geniuses like them is simply too huge” “It took them less than half an hour to craft a sixth–grade pill!” “Did any of you notice that they’re producing three pills right now? They started off with one, but now they’ve already tripled that number!”

Life After Prison Chapter 1954-“Their speed is a force to be reckoned with!” Many disciples exclaimed in awe. Quite a few of them had previously tried to study alchemy at the Alchemy Tower, but enhancing the success rate of one’s alchemical ability was achievable only with relentless practice. Prodigies like Severin and Emery were a whole different class of their own.

The pill–refining process continued, and middle–rank pills produced by both parties failed to cross the six- line mark. Severin, however, was the first to craft a high–grade pill with seven golden lines, taking him one step above Emery.

Upon witnessing that scene, Severin’s supporters breathed sighs of relief.

“There aren’t any words to describe Severin’s alchemy skills. He is truly amazing!” “Yes! He has surpassed Emery again!” The dozen or so elders who were suspended in mid–air shared a hint of surprise as well. Severin had overtaken Emery in just half a day. Ferland, who was initially concerned about the disadvantage that Severin had been put at, was all smiles as he was incredibly impressed with the young alchemist. “Not bad. My judgement was right, it seems!” Celeste, who stood not too far away, observed silently. She learned of Severin’s rise in the Alchemy Tower ranking a few days ago and had grown increasingly curious about his alchemical prowess. The chance to witness it firsthand made her realize the extent of Severin’s talent, for he had produced a superior–quality pill with seven golden lines in just a short amount of time. If all went well, Severin would be destined to become one of the Grandiuno Sect’s key pillars in the future.

At the same time, Daniella seemed to be momentarily bewildered by Severin’s progress. She had not anticipated him to be the first to refine a superior–quality pill. She adjusted her emotions and displayed confidence in Emery. Severin might have the lead, but she believed that Emery could easily catch up with the success rate boost provided by the Purplecloud Cauldron.

“He’s worthy of being my disciple,” Daniella mused and considered recruiting Severin to the Sixth Mountain after the contest ended. She could already envision Severin providing healthy competition to Emery in the future.

Before long. Emery lived up to her reputation and utilized the Purplecloud Cauldron to craft a seven–lined sixth–grade pill. Daniella praised her disciple, “Wonderfull You have done well andBefore Daniella could finish her words, a beam of golden light shot into the sky from Severin’s cauldron.

The brightness was so intense that most onlookers had to either close their eyes or look away. All +15 BONUS out of the cauldron. A strong medicinal fragrance soon wafted across the entire area. Excitement swept through the crowd as they bore witness to the successful crafting of an elite– quality Crystal Spring Pill.

“It has nine lines! This is an elite–quality pill!” “He… he managed to produce an elite–quality pill?!!”

Life After Prison Chapter 1955-The elite–quality Crystal Spring Pill shocked everyone present there. Disciples, elders, and peak masters looked at Severin in a whole new light. Ferland’s worries disappeared in an instant when he witnessed the thumb–sized Crystal Spring Pill hovering in front of Severin. His jaw dropped in a mix of excitement and astonishment as he saw the nine golden lines across the vivid jade–colored pill.

An elite–quality Crystal Spring Pill!” Ferland exclaimed. In any case, he had to keep up his appearances as a paragon–level sect elder and swiftly calmed himself down. Though he did not know how Severin managed to pull of that feat, he was genuinely happy for Severin’s success.

“What a talented alchemist he is! I didn’t think he’d become a sixth–grade medium–rank alchemist so quickly!” Ferland said, grinning from ear to ear.

Severin was a talent that he unearthed from Nontwo City and it was he who recommended Severin into the sect. By recruiting Severin, he was rewarded upon his return to the sect and was promoted from outer sect elder to inner sect elder.

The added resources that were given to him in appreciation of his contribution also allowed him to make a breakthrough from level nine supreme saint to level three supreme saint. Although his status did not match that of a peak master, he remained a valuable individual within the sect.

Ferland was previously worried about Severin’s chances after learning that Daniella had allowed Emery to use the special cauldron. Those worries were finally assuaged after Severin’s apparent victory.

Daniella’s expression, on the other hand, contrasted starkly with Ferland’s jubilant expression. Her bewilderment was evident as she murmured incredulously, “That’s impossible! He came out of the Alchemy Tower about half a month ago, and that’s barely enough time for him to become a level six alchemist! Even if he’s ridiculously talented, producing a medium–rank pill is already a feat, and an elite- quality one more so!” She could not wrap her head around how Severin could make such rapid advancement. In her view, a budding sixth–grade alchemist like him would only be limited to crafting sixth–grade medium–rank pills. Such rapid progress was, by right, implausible. Making progress in alchemy was not as easy as making progress in attainment. Talent was required in addition to practical experience, and both factors had to go hand–in–hand. The simulated alchemy tests in the Alchemy Tower were still inferior to the actual hands -on experience.

Once her initial shock had subsided, Daniella’s optimism for her disciple Emery dwindled. “I’m afraid his alchemical talent could even exceed mine. Emery might be heading for a defeat.” Daniella was an extremely talented alchemist in the Grandiuno Sect. She took charge of the Sixth Mountain and held the position of elder in the Alchemy Chamber. She needed half a year to successfully craft a sixth–grade medium– rank pill, and she was only able to craft the Crystal Spring Pill after becoming +15 BONUS Meanwhile, Celeste had a stunned expression as she watched things unfold.

The elite–quality Crystal Spring Pill exuding a strong medicinal fragrance, and made Celeste gulp. A surge of emotions coursed through her as she mumbled, “An elite–quality Crystal Spring Pill? How is that possible?” Being a talented alchemist herself, Celeste knew how difficult it was to craft elite–quality pills. When she first became a sixth–grade alchemist, Celeste could only manage elite–quality pills when she was sixth- grade medium–rank.

Severin, however, had exited the Alchemy Tower just over half a month ago.

She gazed at him in shock as she wondered if he was already a sixth–grade high–rank alchemist.

Raymond, though not an alchemist, stood with his mouth agape and his expression frozen stiff. As the light shot into the sky and the pill was revealed to have nine lines, Raymond had no doubt that it was an elite–quality pill. “I never thought his alchemy talent could be better than Emery’s!”

Life After Prison Chapter 1956-Raymond, in his shock and awe, decided that he had to become good friends with Severin.

At the same time, Emery was sitting cross–legged in front of the Purplecloud Cauldron not far from where Severin was. She was putting all her attention onto the alchemy cauldron when a fluctuation on Severin’s end drew her attention.

She looked up and witnessed a golden light ascending into the sky. An elitequality pill soon came into view.

Normally, Emery did not bother to look twice at someone else’s pill, but she had to do a double take when she noticed the nine golden lines on the pill. In her shock and astonishment, she exclaimed, “An elite- quality pill?! But how?! It can’t be possible?!” Disbelief was strewn across her visage, and her momentary distraction caused all the materials in her cauldron to burn. There was no denying that the Crystal Spring Pill in front of Severin was an elite–quality pill with nine unmistakable golden lines.

Despair gripped Emery as she realized she had lost. Severin’s alchemical talent had reached levels beyond hers, and attempting to try and surpass him was a challenge she could not hope to overcome.

A look of despair clouded Emery’s face as she turned away from Severin. She lowered her head silently as tears welled up in her eyes. I still lost even with my master’s guidance and the twenty percent boost in success rate from the Purplecloud Cauldron. Your talent is truly otherworldly…” She challenged Severin because she wanted to redeem her reputation before her peers, but she instead found herself becoming the source of amusement for many. Daniella attempted comfort her but unfortunately found it difficult to express it in words.

Emery’s failure unfolded before the entire Grandiuno Sect, and the disastrous defeat damaged her morale, her fighting spirit, and her pride in the field she excelled in. Daniella did not know how best to console Emery, so she decided to embrace her apprentice and offer a soothing pat on the back.

Meanwhile, the victorious Severin shifted his attention back to Emery, who knew that he wanted her to fulfill her end of the bet. She tossed a palm–sized box toward Severin and said, “I lost. Here are the Pristine Spirit Pills and the recipe for it.” Severin reached out and used his telekinesis to draw the box toward his hand.

Upon opening it, he discovered two amber pills–colored inside, each adorned with eight lines. They were only one line away from becoming elite–quality pills.

Beneath the pills lay a small plaque containing the recipe for the Pristine Spint Pill

Life After Prison Chapter 1957-Severin placed them away in his spatial ring. He looked at the disheartened Emery and reminded her, Don’t forget your promise. From now on, you’ll be my maid! I’ll give you a few days to get ready before. reporting for work at Pearl Light Isle!” Severin ascended into the air to join Diane and the others. Diane asked worriedly. “Are you okay?” The contest had been a risky one, especially considering the extraordinary quality of the cauldron Emery wielded. The twenty percent boost in success rate was significant, and other alchemists might have struggled against Emery. Fortunately, however, Severin emerged victorious with the elite–quality pill.” “Didn’t I tell you to trust me?” Severin grinned as he looked at Diane’s worried expression.

After reminiscing over what happened, Severin said to all of them, “You can return to Pearl Light Isle.

Inspiration struck me while I was crafting pills earlier, and I can sense myself making a potential breakthrough. I’d like to re–enter the Alchemy Tower’s sixth floor and explore further.” Severin did not let the joy of his triumph get to his head. He had gained a deepening understanding of alchemy when crafting the Crystal Spring Pill, and he had a feeling that his next visit to the Alchemy Tower would turn him into a sixth–grade high–rank alchemist.

The group nodded considerately, knowing that alchemists often experienced epiphanies during the crafting process. Before they left, Diane advised him, “Don’t push yourself too hard, Severin.” With that, they all flew back toward Pearl Light Isle. He then gazed up at Ferland suspended in mid–air and declared, “I had an epiphany while I was crafting the pill earlier. Let’s chat some other time. I’m going into the tower to explore my suspicions.” His casual remark roused discussions in the open area in front of the Alchemy Tower. The spectators marveled at Severin’s ability to gain epiphanies in the process of crafting.

“Do all geniuses get inspiration from their alchemy practice?” *Severin is capable of crafting an elite–quality sixth–grade medium–rank Crystal Spring Pill. Will he become a sixth–grade high–rank alchemist soon?” “That seems unlikely. It’s been less than half a month since Severin first became a sixth–grade alchemist. He can’t possibly make that much progress regardless of how talented he is.” “I wouldn’t be so sure about that. You saw how Emery was defeated, didn’t you?

Severin’s talent In alchemy would likely be unmatched.” Ferland and the elders were stunned to hear what Severin sald. Even Celeste and Raymond blinked in +15 BONUS Even Emery, who was still being consoled by Daniella after the defeat, was astonished to hear that. “Just how talented are you?” Everyone had the same question in their minds. Though the tournament between Severin and Emery had concluded, the onlookers, disciples, and peak masters decided to stay for a while to see if Severin.

managed to have any further epiphanies inside the Alchemy Tower.

 

Life After Prison Chapter 1958-Severin entered the sixth floor of the Alchemy Tower and looked at the holographic images of various alchemical materials appearing before him in the simulation. He took a deep breath, and began to do the assessment with zealous determination.

The conditions for clearing that level were relatively simpler than the previous ones–all he had to do was refine an elite–quality pill. However, crafting the highest quality sixth–grade pill was no easy feat, for it required one’s understanding of alchemy to be almost equivalent to a seventh– grade alchemist. Progress would be very slow if one did not have that knowledge.

Having drawn some insights from the contest with Emery, Severin took his time and did not push himself too hard. He threw the medicinal herbs and spirit beast materials into the cauldron, and his success rate in crafting sixth grade pills increased gradually. The sixth floor was the most arduous that he had faced.

Over time, beads of sweat started to form on Severin’s forehead. His eyes turned bloodshot, resembling that of a madman. He poured his focus into the crafting process, starting with sixth–grade low–rank pills. before going on to sixth–grade medium–rank and. Finally, he crafted the sixth–grade high–rank Pristine Spirit Pill.

The prolonged, unabated crafting process was wearing his spiritual energy thin.

Spiritual and mental exhaustion took a toll on his mind, but he gritted his teeth and persevered.

Three days later, a beam of spiritual light burst forth from the cauldron and his hands trembled slightly. Such was the effort he had put in that he was on the verge of gasping for breath. He wiped away the sweat on his forehead and clenched his fist tightly as his eyes gleamed with excitement.

“Success at last! A sixth–grade high–rank pill! The Pristine Spirit Pill!” By simulating the crafting process of the Pristine Spirit Pill, Severin’s ranking on the Alchemy Tower tied with Celeste. He shared second place with her. Onlookers in the square were astounded, and a clamor soon ensued, “He did it! He reached second place on the stone monument!” “Severin’s talent seemed to have surpassed Celeste!” “He entered the Alchemy Tower only twice and did not even exceed half a year!” “Even Celeste took two or three years to reach that ranking, and she’s been stuck at second place ever.

sincel” “Do you think the long–lost alchemy knowledge will finally be passed down to Severin?” “That doesn’t seem very likely. No one has been able to reach the seventh floor, much less the eighth and 1/2 +15 BONUS The crowd buzzed with excitement, and everyone held Severin in great respect.

Many acknowledged him as the Grandiuno Sect’s newest rising talent, and those who had witnessed his recent triumph over Emery were particularly thrilled.

The five core disciples such as Celeste and Raymond tended to keep to themselves and rarely made.

public appearances. That was different from Severin’s ascent up the Alchemy Tower ranking list, as it was a journey that they observed step by step. The elders and the peak masters did not shy away from admiring Severin’s feats, and Ferland even laughed heartily as he said proudly, “Not bad! I’m glad I managed to recruit someone as promising as him to the sect!”

Life After Prison Chapter 1959-All the disciples were exclaiming wildly in awe at the astonishing scene that unfolded right before their very eyes! Severin had joined the sect less than a year ago, yet he had already surpassed Emery in the rankings, clinched victory against her in their recent contest, and was hot on Celeste’s heels in the Alchemy Tower rankings! A great many disciples had the privilege to witness his rapid rise from being a relative unknown to gaining equal fame with Celeste.

The elders, along with disciples from various peak masters who had not left, mused to themselves with different expressions. Even Celeste and Raymond were having difficulty masking their true expressions.

Celeste, once the undisputed leader on the Alchemy Tower rankings, wore an expression of disbelief when she saw Severin tie with her. The sixth floor demanded alchemists to produce an elite–quality pill, and Celeste was unable to clear that floor because she failed to produce an elite–quality pill.

Furthermore, the seventh floor was different from the previous six floors in that it was no longer attainable for those who had passed the age of thirty–five. For that reason, there was hardly anyone in the past ten thousand years who managed to clear floor six and enter floor seven.

Even Daniella–the seventh–grade alchemist who was Emery’s master and headed the Alchemy Chamber -had only managed to clear the seventh floor at the age of thirty–five.

In light of all those factors, Celeste’s second–place ranking earned her recognition throughout the sect. At twenty years old, she was already a sixth–grade high–rank alchemist and had ample time to break through.

She took a deep and readjusted her composure before looking at the Alchemy Tower with mixed emotions. It was almost as if she could imagine Severin focusing intently on crafting the pill.

After taking a few breaths, Celeste mumbled to herself, “I can’t begin to imagine how talented he truly is if he’s already mastered the crafting of a sixth–grade high–rank pill. Her surprise was evident, especially since she had taken half a year to produce a pill of that grade. By contrast, Severin took barely a month to achieve that.

At the same time, Raymond was momentarily stunned by Celeste’s muttering. In his opinion, Celeste embodied the pinnacle of Grandiuno Sect’s alchemical talent. Even Emery fell short in comparison and could not be considered a true prodigy.

Among the five core disciples, Celeste was the only one who managed to secure her position via her Forest Constitution and her remarkable alchemical aptitude. Despite being slightly weaker in attainment as level nine supreme saint, her imminent rise to seventh–grade alchemist commanded respect from many people. Her abilities put her in a unique position to forge good bonds among the major core disciples

Life After Prison Chapter 1960-The praise and bewilderment that Celeste had for Severin only emphasized the incredible depth of Severin’s alchemical qualifications Raymond needed some time to process that, but by the time he snapped out of it, his respect for Severin grew even more.

Inside the Alchemy Tower, Severin sat on the ground to recover his spiritual power. He was blissfully unaware of the seismic impact that his rise in the rankings had caused. His recent success in crafting a sixth–grade high–rank pill deepened his understanding of alchemy, and he believed that he could craft the Crystal Spring Pill again and yield a ninety percent success rate–an astounding figure eat would shock veteran sixth–grade alchemists.

The difficulty of a pill grew with each increasing grade, and it would be even more difficult to ensure that their quality remained high. Under normal circumstances, even sixth–grade high–rank alchemists could only have a fifty percent chance of success in when crafting the Crystal Spring Pill. Severin’s ninety percent success rate would leave most alchemists frothing at the mouth.

After swallowing a few pills to restore his spiritual power, Severin decided to take a break until his energy and power were almost fully restored. He stood up with excitement in his eyes and muttered to himself,” I’ve finally become a sixth–grade alchemist! By gaining more experience with the Pristine Spirit Pill, Diane and the girls would have a steady supply of pills for their attainment!” Severin recalled the effort he spent and felt a surge of emotions. He muttered to himself, “Greatness can only be achieved by associating ourselves with it.” He recalled being stuck as a fifth–grade high–rank alchemist for months ever since his time at the Skyblue Sect. Even the Prima Spirit Pill recipe and the abundance of materials in Nontwo City was not conducive to his practice because the numerous failures. However, that all changed when he came to the Grandiuno Sect. The Alchemy Tower’s simulation and feedback facilitated his transition from a fifth–level high–rank alchemist to a sixth–level alchemist in just half a year. He felt that he was fortunate to have chosen the Grandiuno Sect, rather than the other three sects.

Although Severin’s proficiency in swordsmanship aligned somewhat with Purevoid Sect’s focus, the lack of renowned alchemists in that sect was a downside. Though he might be able to excel in swordsmanship at the expense of alchemy, he believed that he would come to regret making that decision.

Severin shook off those thoughts and redirected his focus to the material provided in the simulation.

While Severin could now be considered a sixth–grade high–rank alchemist, passing the sixth level remained a challenging endeavor solely because of the requirement that he had to produce an elite quality pill.

1/2 +15 BONUS He strengthened his resolve, took a deep breath, and continued to go through the motions of alchemy.

Opting for the Pristine Spirit Pill once again, he threw the materials into the cauldron and began to refine them into a pill.

Severin’s growing experience in refining the Pristine Spirit Pills translated to an improvement in qualitythe four golden lines that signified a mediocre quality pill soon grew to five golden lines. Time flew swiftly as he forged on ahead, and three months soon went by.
