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

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.

"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.

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!"
