Severin exhaled heavily as he prepared to refine the pill. He was working on a rtively straightforward


    third grade high- rank pill that required more materials than third–grade medium–rank pills,


    He failed midway through his first attempt, and the difficulty was naturally far greater than that of a third


    grade medium- rank pill. However, he was not that concerned over those setbacks thanks to Iris ample


    supply of materials.


    The second attempt failed too, but there was stue measure of progress. The orcurred muchter in the


    alchemical process, and Severin eximed, “Not bad! I’m already making this much progress on the


    second try! Haha! From the looks of it, I should be able to master this sessfully by tomorrow


    morning at thetest.”


    Having sensed the natable improvement, Severin gained confidence and persisted in his refining


    efforts. Daybreak came, and by the eleventh refining attempt, Severin was already sweating profusely.


    “Rise!” he eximed. A smile soon appeared on Itis face as he gently raised his palm and levitated a


    pill in front of him.” Sess! Haha! Not bad at all, and the color is perfect too!”


    Severin chuckled with excitement, eager to share the news with She and the others. However, he


    decided against it after some thought. Since he had achieved sess and attained the status of a


    third–grade high–rank alchemist, he thought it wise to spend ane more day refining to umte more


    of those pills for Sofia’s father, Birk. The surprise would undoubtedly make both of them very happy.


    After carefully storing the pills and taking a half–hour break, Severin continued to select materials for


    him to continue refining. The following morning, Severin was about to conclude his work when an


    unexpected visitor sought him out. The visitor was a beautiful woman.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.


    “A beautiful woman is looking for you, Severin Maurice and Judith entered the room, where they saw


    Severin having breakfast.


    Severin was


    taken aback. He frowned and asked, “A beautiful woman? Who could it be?”


    Hall masters such as Rachel and Gracie were beautiful women, but Maurice could not be referring to


    them because they were already well–acquainted with Severin’s family.


    Judith smiled and said, “Helse, we haven’t met her before, but she is a very beautiful woman, and she’s


    quite insistent on meeting you.”


    She could not resist making a yfulment. “Tsk, tsk, tsk! Who might this damsel be? Are you


    going to give us the excuse that you happened to run into her when you were out on some mission?


    She teased, ncing at Sofia.
