In the center of a courtyard, Wuhlricht cocked his eyebrows as he was about to make his move and
pointed out, “Not everyone is as gifted as you, Severin, The Chaotic Constitution makes it training
second
nature to you. Felipe and I recently broke through to level one supreme saint not long after arriving at
the
sacredke, and we’d have our solid past foundations to thank if we were lucky enough to progress to
level two supreme saint in one go.”
Felipe then said with a smile, “Don’t take this the wrong way, Severin, but you need to attain a bnce
between work and rest. Secluding yourself all day will make you as dull as a statue.”
Wuhlricht and Felipe’s double act left Severin a little bewildered, but he knew that they were making
perfect sense. During their time in the Skyblue Sect, everyone made rapid progress because Severin
provided pills for everyone. That assistance allowed everyone, even the less gifted, to make near-
effortless breakthroughs. However, Severin made almost zero progress in alchemy since his arrival in
Bleurealm.
Though the Grandiuno Sect provided pills every month, the meager resources were not enough for
supreme saints to make a breakthrough. Wuhlricht and the Great Elder were fortunate to have an
Element Constitution, thus negating some of the difficulties that ordinary practitioners would face. It
might even
take several months for such disciples to achieve a breakthrough.
Severin could not help but smile wryly when he contemted that. He had attempted to refine the
sixth- grade pill Prima Spirit Pill that the Chorleaus were given back in Nontwo City, but it failed due to
his unfamiliarity with the form and the high costs of the materials.
“I should take this time to enhance my alchemy skills. It’d be best if I could be a sixth–grade
alchemist. This way, Diane and the others can catch up with my pace and advance further,” Severin
thought to himself.
His wives Diane, Sofia, She, and Gilda all possessed a Spirit Constitution. Though they were
considered prodigies within Bleurealm, their progress was hampered due to the increasing difficulty
faced by those with higher attainment levels. Theck of resources was a huge factor contributing to
that challenge.
A sudden thought urred to Severin and he shook his head with a bitter smile. ‘It’s such a shame
how precious these sixth–grade pills are. I might be a supreme saint, but I can only afford eight or nine
sets of medicinal materials for the Prima Spirit Pill. If none of the materials will help me to advance to
bing a sixth–grade alchemist, there’s no telling when I will get a breakthrough.”
Sixth–grade pills were exceedingly costly, and Severin only managed to acquire two sets from the
Chorteaus. It was a Catch–22 situation–an alchemist had to improve their skills, but in doing so,
extensive hands–on practice using real materials was needed to raise the sess rate.
After contemting for a moment, Severin recalled his conversation with the Yaacob, the Grandluno
Sect’s self–professed know-it–all. There was an Alchemy Tower situated next to the Sixth Mountain
where numerous alchemists practiced their craft. Severin decided to explore the tower in the hopes of
enhancing his alchemy,
Wuhlricht’s voice then interrupted his thoughts. “You should be more careful these days, Severin.”
Stunned by their serious expressions, Severin asked, “Is there something wrong?”
Wuhlricht exined solemnly, “Well, you’ve been in seclusion for over two months now, and there’s a

chance that many elite disciples have been secretly gearing up to challenge you for your ce!”
That would exin why Wuhlricht would advise him to keep his guard up. The Grandiuno Sect
permitted
elite disciples to challenge core disciples, and the winner would then be the new core disciple.
Such a method might seem cruel, but it promoted a healthypetitiveness that ensured only the most
outstanding candidate would be poised to seed the sect head. As the sixth core disciple, Severin’s
presence had undoubtedly caused a stir, and many elite disciples coveted his position.
