Severin epted Myles’s gesture graciously. Though he did not specialize in swordsmanship, ess


    to the Seventh Mountain’s Sword Tomb was nheless a wee privilege. After all, he could go


    there to hone his swordsmanship too. Moreover, he had just began learning the Sky–Soil Heptagold


    Sword Energy, and refining it to perfection required him to gather the sky–soil energy from the


    surrounding as well as a substantial amount of heptagold energy. The Sword Tomb on the seventh


    mountain could provide that with much abundance.


    Upon seeing Severin ept the token, Myles broke into a warm smile andmended, “You truly do


    live up to your reputation as the sixth true disciple appointed by our sect leader. In the thousands of


    years since the Alchemy Tower was first founded, you’re the first to enter the seventh floor and trigger


    nine rounds of chiming!”


    Severin replied modestly, “Luck was on my side.”


    Myles was apanied by a purple–d, gray–haired man wearing a jasper hairpin. The man was


    holding


    a white mat. As he witnessed Severin’s humility, he shook his head and remarked, “You’re too modest.


    Strength yed a part in your luck too.” The man was Rowan Jennel, the Eight Mountain’s peak


    master.


    Having spent over half a year in the Grandiuno Sect, Severin was well–acquainted with the peak


    masters

    and elders. He recognized Rowan as the Eighth Mountain’s peak master who specialized in weapon


    forging. Though the Eighth Mountain was considered the weaker mountain among the nine, they


    excelled


    in crafting weapons and contributed significantly to the sect’s arsenal.


    As Rowan spoke, he retrieved a glowing object from his robes that emitted aura of a low–rank spiritual


    treasure. Severin’s used his divine senses to scan the item and identified it as a rather extraordinary


    mat.


    Rowan handed the mat to Severin and exined, “I sometimes tinker and forge certain items when I


    have


    the time, and this is one of those things. It’s called the Enlightenment Mat. It’s a supportive equipment


    which I would like to hand to you on ount of your fateful progress today.”


    Severin examined the mat and continued, “The Enlightenment Mat has two functions. Firstly, it collects


    the spiritual energy from the surroundings and speeds up your attainment process by twenty percent.


    Secondly, it imparts a cooling sensation when you sit on it and significantly reduces the risk of


    something


    going awry during the process.”


    Severin apricated the gesture very much, but he waved his hand and said, “This is too valuable. I can’t


    possibly take it.”


    Supportive equipment was much more challenging to make than offensive or defensive ones.


    Moreover, this mat’s ability to gather spiritual energy and enhance attainment speed was almost akin to


    elevating its


    Severin’s reluctance to ept the item drew a smile from Rowan. He handed the mat to Severin once


    more and insisted, “Please take it. This isn’t worth much to me anyway. We at the Eighth Mountain


    wee you with open arms, soe and visit us whenever you’re free.”


    Severin felt pressured to ept the item and did so eventually. Then, a heartyugh echoed in his


    ears.” You got here pretty quickly!”


    Six streak of rainbow lights appeared on the distant skyline and came toward Severin’s direction.
