Emery had never felt such rage at being looked down before! After all, she was known as the alchemy


    genius of Sixth Mountain since she had joined the Grandiuno Sect. All she had ever known was being


    adored and praised.


    Even Celeste–one of the five core disciples–was a nobody in her eyes since the only reason she was


    able to rise to that status was because she possessed Forest Constitution, and not because of her


    talent in alchemy.


    Emery knew she would have be a core disciple too if she had Forest Constitution! In addition, she


    was regarded as a goddess by countless fellow students due to her breathtaking beauty. Not to


    mention, she got to enjoy the care and protection of Danie. All that gradually made her be more


    and more arrogant with each passing day!


    She wanted to catch up ever since she was surpassed by Severin in the Top Alchemist ranking, but the


    fifth level was very difficult to pass. Her impatience just made the whole thing worse, resulting in her


    failing again and again after countless tries.


    She had never encountered setbacks before. After this failure, Severin gradually became a nightmare


    to her. She would still be stuck in the endless cycle of despair if it was not for Danie’s


    encouragement.


    Finally, Emery was able to enter the sixth level with the help of the small jade que Danie gave her.


    It


    was precisely because of this that she had the confidence toe to Pearl Light Isle to challenge


    Severin, hoping to defeat Severin openly in alchemy in front of their peers to regain the confidence that


    was shattered after thest failure.


    However, she never expected that Severin would reject her challenge! After all, he was also one of the


    alchemy geniuses of Sixth Mountain. Not to mention he was well–known in the sect. Although he was


    not


    as talented as Celeste, Karl, or the other core disciples, he was still ranked ninth on the sect’s genius


    list.


    Moreover, Emery found Severin’s reason for rejecting her ridiculous. He said he was going into retreat


    again, but as far as she knew, he had only broken through to level five supreme saint not long ago, so


    how


    could he break through again so quickly? Thus, Emery could not help but think Severin was looking


    down


    on her. How could this not make her angry?


    Severin became even more confused when he saw how livid Emery was. She looked like a cat with its


    hackles raised! He was not interested in the challenge issued by Emery, because he was really going


    to


    train in seclusion, so it was not just some excuse he made up. Some time ago, he worked non–stop to


    refine some Crystal Spring Pills for his wives and olders, which strengthened his foundation as a level


    five


    supreme saint.


    Every time he refined a batch of alchemical pills, the spiritual energy in his body would be purified,


    which


    also made him feel the bottleneck of his own cultivation. That was why he was anxious to go train in


    seclusion.

    Seeing Emery’s face bing as ck as thunder, Severin spoke again. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be


    going to my training now.”


    Emery’s heart suddenly surged with anger again, she thought that Severin must be looking down on


    her


    because she lost to him once.


    She took a deep breath to suppress her anger before saying calmly to Severin, “I’m willing to put down


    a


    sixth–grade alchemical pill recipe and two Pristine Spirit Pills as bets!”


    Pristine Spirit Pill was a sixth–grade high–rank alchemical pill. There were only a few Pristine Spirit Pills


    in


    existence because the thousand–year–old herb needed to create this pill was very difficult to find.


    The pill was suitable for any supreme saint, and especially those on level nine, to elerate their


    breakthrough. The effect provided was far better than the Crystal Spring Pill, making it very popr


    among the sects!


    Since Severin was already a level five supreme saint, the Crystal Spring Pill–a sixth–grade medium–


    rank pill–was slowly bing less effective for him. Thus, he was anxious to get his hands on some


    sixth- grade high–rank alchemical pills.


    Severin immediately paused in his tracks when he heard that there were benefits to be gained by


    agreeing


    to Emery’s challenge.
