Severin entered the sixth floor of the Alchemy Tower and looked at the holographic images of various


    alchemical materials appearing before him in the simtion. He took a deep breath, and began to do


    the


    assessment with zealous determination.


    The conditions for clearing that level were rtively simpler than the previous ones–all he had to do


    was


    refine an elite–quality pill. However, crafting the highest quality sixth–grade pill was no easy feat, for it


    required one’s understanding of alchemy to be almost equivalent to a seventh–grade alchemist.


    Progress


    would be very slow if one did not have that knowledge.


    Having drawn some insights from the contest with Emery, Severin took his time and did not push


    himself too hard. He threw the medicinal herbs and spirit beast materials into the cauldron, and his


    sess rate in crafting sixth grade pills increased gradually. The sixth floor was the most arduous that


    he had faced.


    Over time, beads of sweat started to form on Severin’s forehead. His eyes turned bloodshot,


    resembling that of a madman. He poured his focus into the crafting process, starting with sixth–grade


    low–rank pills. before going on to sixth–grade medium–rank and. Finally, he crafted the sixth–grade


    high–rank Pristine


    Spirit Pill.


    The prolonged, unabated crafting process was wearing his spiritual energy thin. Spiritual and mental


    exhaustion took a toll on his mind, but he gritted his teeth and persevered.


    Three dayster, a beam of spiritual light burst forth from the cauldron and his hands trembled slightly.


    Such was the effort he had put in that he was on the verge of gasping for breath. He wiped away the


    sweat on his forehead and clenched his fist tightly as his eyes gleamed with excitement.


    “Sess atst! A sixth–grade high–rank pill! The Pristine Spirit Pill!” By simting the crafting


    process of the Pristine Spirit Pill, Severin’s ranking on the Alchemy Tower tied with Celeste. He shared


    second ce with her. Onlookers in the square were astounded, and a mor soon ensued,


    “He did it! He reached second ce on the stone monument!”


    “Severin’s talent seemed to have surpassed Celeste!”


    “He entered the Alchemy Tower only twice and did not even exceed half a year!”


    “Even Celeste took two or three years to reach that ranking, and she’s been stuck at second ce


    ever.

    “Do


    you


    think the long–lost alchemy knowledge will finally be passed down to Severin?”


    “That doesn’t seem very likely. No one has been able to reach the seventh floor, much less the eighth


    and


    The crowd buzzed with excitement, and everyone held Severin in great respect. Many acknowledged


    him


    as the Grandiuno Sect’s newest rising talent, and those who had witnessed his recent triumph over

    were particrly thrilled.
