Severin ced them away in his spatial ring. He looked at the disheartened Emery and reminded her,


    Don’t forget your promise. From now on, you’ll be my maid! I’ll give you a few days to get ready before.


    reporting for work at Pearl Light Isle!”


    Severin ascended into the air to join Diane and the others. Diane asked worriedly. “Are you okay?”


    The contest had been a risky one, especially considering the extraordinary quality of the cauldron


    Emery wielded. The twenty percent boost in sess rate was significant, and other alchemists might


    have


    struggled against Emery. Fortunately, however, Severin emerged victorious with the elite–quality pill.”


    “Didn’t I tell you to trust me?” Severin grinned as he looked at Diane’s worried expression.


    After reminiscing over what happened, Severin said to all of them, “You can return to Pearl Light Isle.

    Inspiration struck me while I was crafting pills earlier, and I can sense myself making a potential


    breakthrough. I’d like to re–enter the Alchemy Tower’s sixth floor and explore further.”


    Severin did not let the joy of his triumph get to his head. He had gained a deepening understanding of


    alchemy when crafting the Crystal Spring Pill, and he had a feeling that his next visit to the Alchemy


    Tower would turn him into a sixth–grade high–rank alchemist.


    The group nodded considerately, knowing that alchemists often experienced epiphanies during the


    crafting process. Before they left, Diane advised him, “Don’t push yourself too hard, Severin.”


    With that, they all flew back toward Pearl Light Isle. He then gazed up at Fend suspended in mid–air


    and


    dered, “I had an epiphany while I was crafting the pill earlier. Let’s chat some other time. I’m going


    into


    the tower to explore my suspicions.”


    His casual remark roused discussions in the open area in front of the Alchemy Tower. The spectators


    marveled at Severin’s ability to gain epiphanies in the process of crafting.


    “Do all geniuses get inspiration from their alchemy practice?”


    *Severin is capable of crafting an elite–quality sixth–grade medium–rank Crystal Spring Pill. Will he


    be


    a sixth–grade high–rank alchemist soon?”


    “That seems unlikely. It’s been less than half a month since Severin first became a sixth–grade


    alchemist. He can’t possibly make that much progress regardless of how talented he is.”


    “I wouldn’t be so sure about that. You saw how Emery was defeated, didn’t you? Severin’s talent In


    alchemy would likely be unmatched.”


    Fend and the elders were stunned to hear what Severin sald. Even Celeste and Raymond blinked in


    Even Emery, who was still being consoled by Danie after the defeat, was astonished to hear that.


    “Just


    how talented are you?”


    Everyone had the same question in their minds. Though the tournament between Severin and Emery


    had


    concluded, the onlookers, disciples, and peak masters decided to stay for a while to see if Severin.


    managed to have any further epiphanies inside the Alchemy Tower.
