The extreme shock on Emery’s face elicited a giggle from Diane and the other girls. Diane, as the


    eldest


    among them, stood up and said, “It’s all thanks to Severin. We wouldn’t have been able to make such


    quick breakthroughs without his alchemy skills.”


    Gilda and the others nodded wholeheartedly upon hearing that. Though they had the privilege of


    residing


    on Pearl Light Isle, the training resources they received followed the standard given to normal


    disciples-


    two sixth–grade low–rank pills each month and a few spiritual stones. Breaking through to the fourth


    level


    of Supreme Saint with such limited resources was difficult, if not nearly impossible.


    Emery had already predicted yet, and she looked at the girls with envy. Consuming sixth–grade pills

    candy was a luxury beyond imagination, and one that would surely leave everyone else outside of


    Pearl


    Light Isle in shock. Lucky for Emery, she was able to calm herself down quickly as a result of her


    experience.


    She then observed that Diane and the girls had reached level four supreme saint within half a year.


    They


    were brimming with energy, and they had a very solid foundation too. When Emery first joined, she was


    only able to make a breakthrough to level two supreme saint within half a year. As a result, even she–


    an apprentice of Danie–could not help but envy the girls‘ surging level four supreme saint aura.


    After putting away the Crystal Spring Pill Severin handed her, Emery remarked to Diane, “You just


    joined


    the sect half a year ago, right?”


    “Yes,” Diane replied in some confusion.


    Emery nced at Severin with a mix of despair and emotion. “Making a breakthrough to level four


    supreme saint in just six months is a feat that will have our fellow disciples jealous.”


    Diane downyed their achievements. ‘You’re being too kind. It’s not that big a deal. I’m sure plenty


    people in the sect are stronger than us


    Emery was speechless when she heard Diane saying that it was not a big deal.


    She was about to say something more when Severin interjected. “Well, since you’re now our maid, I’ll


    leave the crafting of Crystal Spring Pills to you. If you’re stuck on anything and need help, feel free to


    ask me any questions.”


    “Understood,” Emery answered. Severin nodded in satisfaction.


    Though Emery had Initially been uneasy around Diane and the others, she gradually settled in with


    them after getting to know them better. That being said, she still diligently tackled the tasks that Severin


    had. assigned to her,


    Several dayster, Emery sat before a cauldron Inside one of the wooden houses on Pearl Light Isle. A


    dozen green pills hovered in front of her.


    Following several days of hard work, she could finally heave a sigh of relief as she said, “I seeded!”


    Emery’s alchemical progress had been hampered after her loss to Severin, and she was so


    traumatized by her defeat that she butchered her subsequent crafting sessions rather frequently.


    Surprisingly, fulfilling herbet and bing Severin’s maid seemingly helped her deal with the trauma


    of losing. The crafting


    process went so smoothly that she was rather surprised by it. Though the sess of the Crystal Spring


    Pill remained at a low rate of 30 percent, Emery felt content with her aplishment.
