Chapter 1941

The next morning, when the sun shone through the window and into the room, Severin looked at the

beautiful woman lying next to him. He sat up and kissed Gilda on the forehead, and then got dressed quietly.

After he walked out of Gilda's room feeling all refreshed, he went to the yard to do some boxing before going to the training room again. After the breakthrough in cultivation, Severin planned to refine more alchemical pills for Diane and the others.

Meanwhile, in a quaint courtyard located in Sixth Mountain, Emery was refining alchemical pills. Her mind began to wander as she recalled what she had experienced in the past two days. As a result, she did not notice that the fire was too strong and the alchemical pills became burnt.

When the beautiful woman in palace clothes next to her saw this, she said softly. "Emery, why bother to refine alchemical pills when your focus is obviously not in it?"

The beautiful woman was none other than the peak master of Sixth Mountain, Daniella Phix. She also happened to be Emery's master.

Unlike core disciples like Celeste who stayed at Sixth Mountain, Daniella only had one disciple - Emery. She knew that her disciple had always been arrogant. Her talent in alchemy was not much inferior to that

of Celeste, and she had always wanted to compete for a spot in being a core disciple.

She was usually praised by her peers as the sect's genius alchemist. In fact, she had many worshipers who put her on a pedestal, so she did not expect that one day she would be surpassed by someone in the path of alchemy.

Although Daniella was the peak master of Sixth Mountain and her cultivation level put her at level eight. paragon, she did not know much about the going-ons between the junior disciples. However, she did hear that Emery was obsessed with the Top Alchemist ranking. She looked tenderly at Emery, who had become much gaunter due to the blow she received to her self-esteem.

Emery snapped back to the present, and immediately realized that she had been distracted while refining alchemical pills, so she quickly apologized. "Sorry, I didn't mean to burn the alchemical pills."

Seeing her disciple's devastated look, Daniella sighed Inwardly, and then scolded, "Idiot! Losing once

doesn't mean it's the end of the world! You can always try again. You should just stay here and take over

my position as peak master if you can't even handle a small fallure like that!"

She could not help but chake her head in disappointment. Daniella knew Emery had devoted herself to the Alchemy Tower ever since Severin surpassed her, because she wanted to prove that she could reach

the sixth floor as well.

However, the more anxious Emery was, the more likely she was to make mistakes. She was only short of the last ten of the thousand alchemical pills' recipes required to pass the fifth level assessment, but because of her impatience, there was no growth for eight days straight!

She found it hard to accept the gap between herself and Severin! After all, she had always been put high

on the pedestal, so this fall from grace was something she found very, very hard to swallow.

To make matters worse, there was a rumor going around in the sect that Emery was nothing but a hack!

Unable to accept failure, Emery had been distracted all day long in the past two days and had become a little haggard. Seeing the disappointment on Daniella's face, Emery gritted her teeth and said determinedly, "I'm going to

fight him again!"

Emery took a deep breath. She had mustered up the courage to prove herself. Failure was not something to be scared of. What she should really be scared of was losing her fighting spirit. Seeing that Emery had made up her mind, Daniella stared at her quietly. Seeing the determined look in her eyes, she raised her hand and waved, and a small jade plaque appeared in her hand.

Daniella threw the small jade plaque to Emery and said calmly. I'm glad to hear that. This jade plaque contains the experience I had in the Alchemy Tower in the past. There are also several notes on refining sixth-grade alchemical pills in there. You can have it."

After a pause, she walked up to Emery, stroked her gently on the head, and said softly. "Emery, remember, losing to others isn't the end of the world. It's only the end of the world if you become obsessed about

beating your opponent to the point of losing yourself."

Emery teared up at Daniella's encouragement, but she willed herself to not let the tears fall. She then nodded gravely to show her strong fighting spirit..
