Danie’s question caused the entire area to erupt in amotion. She was a level nine paragon and


    a seventh–grade medium–rank alchemist who held an exceptionally esteemed status within the sect.


    Countless disciples dreamed of bing the apprentice of a powerful figure like her, and many looked


    at Severin with envy. As jealous as they were of the offer that Danie made to Severin, they knew they


    were not good enough to be worth her attention.

    Severin was momentarily taken aback after she made him that offer as soon as she emerged from the


    Alchemy Tower. Danie’s message was crystal clear–she saw potential in Severin’s alchemical talent


    and wished to take him on as an apprentice. Such an offer was a thrilling prospect for any ordinary


    disciples and even some elite disciples. The other five core disciples might even be tempted by it too.


    Unfortunately for Danie, Severin regarded her tutge as superfluous after acquiring the knowledge


    from the Alchemy Tower’s founder himself. Besides, he was not on good terms with Danie’s


    apprentice, Emery, and joining the Sixth Mountain might make things troublesome for him.


    Severin might have considered such a proposal in the past, but it would be pointless for him at that


    moment. As a sixth–grade high–rank alchemist, he anticipated bing a seventh–grade alchemist


    within the span of a few months.


    Having taken all that into consideration, Severin politely declined Danie’s warm invitation. “Thank


    you, but I’m more ustomed to the rxed lifestyle on Pearl Light Isle. I have no ns to move at the


    moment.”


    Danie’s confidence took a great hit when she heard that, and she was thoroughly bbergasted by


    his response. She, a level nine paragon and a seventh–grade high–rank alchemist, faced rejection for


    the first time in her life. Danie doubted whether or not she heard him correctly, but his unwavering


    expression confirmed her suspicions.


    Her expression briefly belied a hint of anger and frustration, but she regained herposure right


    away. She knew that Severin had made his mark in the sect, and the nine chimes that rung from the


    Alchemy Tower would have resonated to every mountain in the sect. Others would soon try to forge


    better ties with Severin. While they might notprehend the significance of reaching the Alchemy


    Tower’s seventh floor, the same could not be said for Danie. As the Alchemy Chamber’s elder and


    the Sixth Mountain’s


    peak master, she understood just how important it was for an alchemist to make that big leap in


    progress.


    She had attempted the same feat when she was younger, but she failed in her endeavor and


    remained a seventh–grade medium–rank alchemist for centuries. To make progress in alchemy, one


    had to spend time with high–rank alchemists in Mind or obtain the Alchemy Tower’s knowledge.


    Those were the only two viable options–thetter being Danie’s reason for wanting to mentor


    Severin.


    Despite his rejection, she responded graciously and said, “I won’t insist then. Should you change your


    mind, know that you’re always wee at the Sixth Mountain.”


    Danie’sposed and magnanimous demeanor contrasted starkly with the surrounding disciples‘


    shock at Severin’s refusal.
