It was already getting difficult for Birk to contain his excitement as he opened another bottle and


    peered inside. His hands trembled slightly, and the porcin bottle nearly slipped from his grasp.


    “This… This…”


    “What is it?” One of the grand elders could not hold back any longer and rushed over. He took the


    bottle from Birk and inspected its contents. As he beheld whaty within, he gasped in shock and


    eximed. These… These are third–rank high–level pills! This means that the young man here is


    a third–rank high–rank alchemist!”


    “What?!” The other grand elder hurried over with an astonished expression. “You’re right. There’s


    no doubt that these are third–grade high–rank pills, and there’s a hundred of them!”


    “His talent is simply extraordinary!”


    “Agreed! Where did you find such a prodigy, Miss Sofia? His alchemical skills are beyond


    “These pills could even allow our sect to cultivate several saints!”


    The elders engaged in a lively discussion after being thoroughly impressed by Severin’s gift.


    “Third–grade high–rank pills? You’re not joking, are you?” Even Sofia and the others were unaware of


    Severin’s advancement to a third–grade high–rank alchemist. They eagerly examined the pills, after


    which Sofia shot Severin an incredulous look. “You rascal! When did you make a breakthrough to


    be a third–grade high–rank alchemist? Why didn’t you tell me about it?”


    Severin grinned and admitted, “Well, it happened a few days ago before we we

    wanted to surprise you, so I kept it a secret.”


    to Littleton. I


    “You surprised me all right!” Sofia said. She pursed her lips and felt a gush of sweetness in her heart.


    Severin had truly outdone himself and made her proud.


    “Haha, you’re an exceptional son–inw. Your talent is simply astonishing.” Birkughed heartily.


    “These third–grade high–rank pills might be just what I need to break through to level two saint. I’ve


    been stuck at the level one saint for far too long now.”


    The first grand elder chimed in, “Both the great elder and the second elder are level nine warrior


    emperors. These pills would make it much easier for them to ascend to the level one saint. Even the


    third elder, who is now at peak level eight warrior emperor, would do well. Their breakthrough.


    “Yes. This all but solves our crisis,” the great elder, Jeanluc, agreed with a smile.


    After some consideration, Birk suggested, “We ought to keep these pills to ourselves for now and


    secure the breakthrough before anything else. We’ll see what to do next once we’ve achieved that.


    We don’t want the Unbeaten Wind Sect to find out about this too soon. Or else, they’ll make a swift


    move to deal with us before we can get stronger.”


    Sofia appeared puzzled. She frowned and asked her father, “What’s going on, Dad? Why are you so


    concerned about the Unbeaten Wind Sect? Are they plotting something against us? Haven’t we


    always been on good terms with each other?”


    Birk smiled wryly and exined to Sofia, “The meeting that we had earlier was to discuss the


    Unbeaten Wind Sect. This issue has be quite a headache.”


    The first grand elder added, “The Unbeaten Wind Sect was only slightly stronger than us before, but


    they no longer view us as equals now that two of their members have reached level two saint.”
