Diane nodded in agreement. “Yes. Being an alchemist is beneficial to a lot of people.”


    Sofia nodded in approval. “Many sects would give anything to snatch up alchemy geniuses and highly–


    proficient alchemists. After all, the pills they refine have very good effects on warrior kings, and even to


    those who are at the level of warrior emperors. However, it is difficult to be an alchemist, and


    even harder for an alchemist to make breakthroughs.”


    Sofia paused, “Many people end up teauing at second–grade low–rank or second–grade high–rank.


    Going any further is incredibly difficult.”


    She scratched her neck when she heard that and thought to herself, ‘Severin became a third–grade


    low–rank alchemist so


    quickly. I bet all the other alchemists will be envious if they


    find out.”


    Time trickled by, and Severin eventually put away the alchemy


    furnace after two more sessions. ‘I can’t believe it… I wasted


    ten sets of materials. I’m d I made some progress, but I guess I’ll continue tomorrow.”


    He went downstairs immediately after because it was almost.


    time for dinner. He would not want to be a bad host to Sofia


    and make her unhappy.


    Chapter 125!!


    “You finally realized that it’s time to stop, huh? You’ve been cooped up in your room while you have


    guests around! Aren’t you concerned for Sofia’s happiness?” Diane rolled her eyes at Severin when he


    came down.


    Severin smiled awkwardly and said, “I had no choice. There’s no taking back lost time. I can’t let my


    alchemical skillsg behind.”


    He then looked at Sofia and said to her, “I’m really sorry, Miss Sofia. I tend to be very busy most of the


    days, so I hope you’ll forgive me for not attending to you more!”

    Sofia smiled and said, “Don’t worry about it. Diane and She kept mepany, and I had a great time


    shopping today. It’s been a while since I went out like this. I bought a lot of stuff too.

    Severin smiled and said, “Perfect, let’s go get dinner then.”


    Megan immediately said, “Sure! By the way, can Benjamine along? He said he wanted to ask you


    for pointers on alchemy when you have the time.”


    Severin nodded. “By all means! He’ll be my brother–inw once he marries you, and we’ll all be one


    big family. He’s more than wee to have dinner with us.”


    Megan smiled and said, “Let’s get dinner at the food street then. I’ll call him and ask him to wait for us


    there.” Megan


    happily went out and made a phone call.


    Severin only remembered Benjamin after Megan mentioned thetter’s name. He could not help but


    mutter to himself, ” Benjamin is a talented and hardworking man. I’ve been


    wondering why he hasn’te to see me recently. I guess I can find out how much progress he’s


    made since he’sing.”


    Diane then said, “I didn’t think you’d remember your apprentice. I thought you’d forgotten all about him.


    His


    progress has been going well, or so I heard. Megan told me a few days ago that he’s broken through to


    a first–grade high-


    rank alchemist. He’s probably already trying his hand at refining some second–grade low–rank pills. He


    must have encountered some hurdles, so that’s why he wants to seek your


    advice.”


    Severin could not contain his surprise when he heard that. That’s great! I’m d to hear that he’s


    improving!”
