    As the nine pills soared up from the cauldron, Severin raised his hand and rose into the skies above Pearl Light Isle together with the pills.


    Moments after he rose, a thunderbolt crashed down and threatened to destroy the fruits of hisbor. However, the nine pills remained unyielding in the face of the baptismal lightning. A torrent of spiritual light surrounded the pills and resisted the thunderbolt''s fury.


    The crackling tribtion echoed across the Grandiuno Sect, and startled every single disciple. Like before, they began discussing among themselves when they looked at the thick and ominous clouds hovering above Pearl Light Isle.


    "W-what''s happening?"


    "Look! Those clouds formed just above Pearl Light Isle! Is Severin making another breakthrough?"


    "I don''t think so. this doesn''t seem like the kind of tribtion that a paragon would face."


    "Hey, did any of you smell that medicinal fragrance? Just a whiff makes me feel like I''m about to secure a breakthrough!"


    "Is Severin refining some kind of pill?"


    "I wonder what sort of pill could trigger such a thunderbolt cmity,"Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    Countless disciples looked toward Pearl Light Isle in expressions of shock and awe. Unlike them, the peak masters did not have such exaggerated reactions, but they were no less surprised by what was happening. On ount of their wide-ranging experience, they instantly recognized the tribtion as the mark of a sessful seventh-grade pill.


    Pearl Light Isle boasted only two capable alchemists-Severin and Emery. Thetter could be discounted, as she was a sixth-grade alchemist incapable of producing such a pill. That left only one person-Severin. "Does this mean our sect will soon witness the birth of yet another seventh-grade alchemist?" an elder eximed.


    "Severin''s talent is beyond terrifying! He just made his mark at the Alchemy Tower not long ago, and he''s already trying to master seventh-grade pills..." another elder muttered in disbelief.


    The shock resonated most deeply on the Sixth Mountain. Danie, the pearl master, stood speechless as her eyes were fixed on the sky. "That must be a seventh-grade pill..." she murmured atst. "Is Severin now a seventh-grade alchemist!"


    Every elder, peak master, and disciple felt the tremors of this revtion. There were many benefits that a seventh-grade alchemist could bring to the sect, especially one who had inherited the knowledge from the previous sect leader.


    As soon as the tribtion urred, elders and peak masters alike began to soar toward Pearl Light Isle. Meanwhile, lightning crackled in the sky above Pearl Light Isle, and each strike infused the nine pills with additional power of heaven and earth. Several secondster, the pills emerged transformed after weathering the tribtion. They had an exquisite aroma to begin with, and the baptismal lightning only infused them further with the pulsating power of heaven and earth. Anyone who swallowed them would practically be devouring miniature little worlds.


    When the dark clouds dissipated, Severin burst intoughter. "Sess atst!"
