The iing streaks of light that rushed toward Pearl Light Isle reminded Myles that hesitation could


    cost him the chance to persuade Severin into joining him at the Seventh Mountain. He cleared his


    throat and offered, “I’ll be blunt, Severin. Come with me to the Seventh Mountain, and I shall bestow


    upon you the title of elder!”


    Severin’s brow furrowed in confusion when Myles offered such a high position all of a sudden. It was


    vastly different from the offer to bing an instructor. Though such instructors were nominally


    regarded as a teacher, they were nevertheless given a position as honorary elder. However, the sry,


    responsibilities, and authority were much more limitedpared to the actual elders. Many of the


    peak’s elders were paragons, and no one had yet to break the precedent of appointing a supreme saint


    as an elder!


    Before he could delve deeper, another booming voice resonated. “I didn’t think you’d be so shameless,


    Myles! Did you think offering the position of an elder would be enough to convince him?”


    A middle-aged man in ck training clothes appeared beside Severin. It was none other than Rowan,


    the Eighth Mountain’s peak master. He did not seem too pleased as looked over at Myles.


    Severin cupped his hands in a respectful salute. “Hello, Mister Rowan.


    Rowan’s expression then softened into a warm smile. He nodded, then nced at Severin from head


    to toe before asking, “My friend! It seems you are now a seventh-grade alchemist, yes?”


    Severin nodded affirmatively. Exhration reced Rowan’s initial concern. “In which case, I implore


    you toe to my Eighth Mountain! Not only will I make you the deputy peak master, I shall equivalent


    to that of a mediocre-quality spiritual treasure!”


    Severin cocked an eyebrow when he heard that offer. The position of a deputy peak master exceeded


    that of an elder both in rank and treatment.


    Nevertheless, it was the five-chambered cauldron that piqued his interest more! He vividly recalled the


    twenty percent sess rate that Emery’s Purplecloud Cauldron granted during their contest. Had he


    not been a stable sixth-grade alchemist, the oue might have beenpletely different. That


    cauldron was one of the Sixth Mountain’s three most prized treasures, and the prospect of securing


    one of that level was truly a tantalizing.

    Before he could voice his thoughts, the sky resounded with a multitude of voices.


    “Consider joining the Fifth Mountain, Severin! You’ll be appointed deputy peak master and be given


    three seventh-grade herbs!”


    “The Third Mountain has much more to offer! You’ll receive two spiritual treasures and four seventh-


    grade herbs!”


    Within moments, every peak master of the sect’s nine mountains had descended upon Pearl Light Isle.


    They were soon embroiled in a fiercepetition to secure the allegiance of Severin, the rising star


    who had just managed a breakthrough to seventh-grade alchemist.
