Severin nodded calmly in response to Sofia’s shocked reaction. “I am, but my attainment requires me


    to make a breakthrough to fourth–grade low–rank alchemist. Only fourth–grade low–rank pills can help


    me achieve more in my attainment.”

    Sofia said with a smile, “You’re too talented. From what I know, only first–tier sects can produce such


    alchemists. I’m confident you’ll be able to make a breakthrough to a third–grade high–rank and proceed


    to bing a fourth–grade or even fifth–grade alchemist, I know you can do it.”


    At that moment, Severin seemed to have discovered something through his mental power. His eyes lit


    up, and he made a right turn. “Whoa, I didn’t expect to find a second–grade high–rank spiritual herb so


    soon!”


    Sofia was briefly stunned. “Your mental power is amazingly strong. I didn’t even notice anything.


    Perhaps this spiritual herb is outside the scope of my mental power.”


    Severin reminded Sofia, “Using mental power takes a toll on you. You should avoid using it unless it’s


    really necessary. If you don’t feel safe around me, then you wouldn’t be safe on your own either.”


    Sofia then retracted her mental power and followed Severin. “You mentioned that there were spiritual


    herbs, to try and see if I can sense them. I didn’t expect it to fall beyond my range of spiritual energy


    so I just wanted


    Severin and Sofia made a few quick dashes across the forest and finally reached the area where the


    second–grade high–rank spiritual herb was. Severin was beaming with joy when he looked at the herb.


    He approached it and said, “I never would have thought that there would be second–grade high–rank


    spiritual herbs not too far from the forest edge. Now I can’t wait to see what else I can find in the


    forest’s depths. There might be a lot of third–grade spiritual herbs, and perhaps even fourth–grade


    ones!”


    Sofia smiled and said, “That’s possible, but it would only be in the deepest parts of the forest. The spirit


    beasts will be stronger if you go deeper, so you need to be extra careful at the time.”


    Severin nodded. “I will. I have two beautiful wives waiting for me toe back in one piece.”


    “Yes, and I’d be as good as dead if you’re in danger. That is why you can’t and shouldn’t take any risks.


    You have strong mental power, so that’ll allow you to sense any powerful spirit beasts. If you happen to


    notice any, our priority would be to leave as soon as possible.” Sofia smiled and advised him.


    “Not bad! Not bad at all. This second–grade high–rank spiritual herb will be useful for alchemy, Severin


    had already gathered the spiritual herb and stored it in his spatial ring


    “It sounds like there’s somebat over in that direction, and I hear beast roars too. Shall we go over


    and have a look? Humans wouldn’t risk their lives to piss off these spirit beasts if there isn’t anything


    valuable there. I’m sure there will be some spiritual herbs.” Severin pointed in one direction after


    hearing the sound.


    Sofia said with a slightly awkward expression, “That’s a possibility, but you should use your Mind’s Eye


    technique to check the other person’s attainment. We don’t want to get ourselves in a mess.” She then


    added, “That technique is really handy. It’ll help us avoid any trouble,”


    When Severin heard that, he looked at Sofia from head to toe and teased her. “Well, well. You seem to


    be getting increasingly excited about this technique. If you want it, then why don’t we look for a cave so


    I can help you open your Mind’s Eye?”
