During the period where she had to grapple with her inner trauma, maintaining even a thirty percent success rate with the sixth-grade low-rank Crystal Spring Pill was challenging. Several cauldrons nearly burnt to the point of being unusable during the refinement period.

"I'll be back to my best again if this continues!" Emery thought. Her remaining resentment toward Severin had dissipated. After doing a stretch, she carefully sealed the dozen or so Crystal Spring Pills in a box. Upon completing the task, she opened the door and entered the garden courtyard. There, she found Severin and others lounging on chairs and reading books. Emery approached them and handed the book, saying. "Here are the pills."

Severin put aside his guidebook to the places outside of Southsky and took the box. He opened it to find fifteen Crystal Spring Pills inside. After a brief inspection, he frowned and closed the box. He tossed it to Diane and the girls before remarking. "The quality isn't good enough, and the success rate is rather low too. You're a prodigy! Why does it seem to take so much effort to craft these Crystal Spring Pills?"

Severin expressed his views and was very dissatisfied with the outcome. He noted the mediocre-quality. of most pills, the prevalence of impurities, and a low success rate with only two superior-quality pills. Emery was anxious when she heard that. Before she could say anything. Severin added, "I'll teach you." He then began sharing his experience and insights into refining the Crystal Spring Pill. As a sixth-grade. high- rank alchemist who had received the knowledge passed down by the Alchemy Tower, Severin's guidance could elevate a junior alchemist's understanding by a lot and impart some inspiration to them.

Emery's initial feelings of humiliation transformed into shock and excitement as Severin provided insights. into his experience with the Crystal Spring Pill. Though she was initially unclear about certain aspects of the crafting process, Emery soon understood its principles with Severin's guidance. She exclaimed in gratefulness, "I see! I didn't expect the pill could be crafted like that! Thank you for your guidance!"

At that moment, she had finally been given a peek into Severin's formidable alchemical ability. Emery recalled the jealousy she once harbored when Severin entered the Alchemy Tower a year ago. Back then, he was only a sixth-grade alchemist who could produce sixth-grade low-rank pills åt most. However, it took him only two months to achieve the remarkable feat of creating the elite-quality Crystal Spring Pill. Three months later, the entire sect was shaken when he reached the seventh floor of the Alchemy Tower.

Emery initially chalked his successes to luck, but she gained a true understanding of his abilities after receiving his guidance. Though she was previously limited to a 30 percent success rate with the Crystal Spring Pill, that changed when Severin pointed out her past errors. She was eager to try again because she believed that she could achieve a steady 50 percent to 60 percent success rate.
