All nine peak masters were left with a bitter taste in their mouths. While it was initially supposed to be


    only nine of them vying for Severin’s allegiance, a spanner was thrown in the works when Oskar- the


    sect leader-intervened.


    His offer was not to appoint him as just an ordinary elder, but the elder of the Alchemy Chamber whose


    status rivaled their own! Severin had be not just the youngest seventh-grade alchemist in


    Grandiuno Sect’s history, but also the youngest elder in the Alchemy Chamber!


    At that point, Myles, Danie, and the others were left with no other choice than to offer their


    congrattions. “Congrattions on bing the Alchemy Chamber’s elder, Severin!”


    As Severin gazed at Oskar’s smile and listened to the peak masters’ congrattory remarks, he took a


    deep breath and gently epted the token. He surmised that he was probably the first disciple in the


    Grandiuno Sect’s history to be the Alchemy Chamber’s elder.

    He suppressed his excitement and gestured respectfully toward Oskar, saying, “Thank you for your


    kindness.”


    Had Oskar not intervened, Severin believed that Myles and the other might have bickered for hours.


    The appointment had ced him on equal footing with the peak masters, and Oskar seemed pleased


    when Severin epted the token. “Now that I’ve officially made you elder of the Alchemy Chamber, my


    duty here is done.”


    Oskar then left in a streak of light, leaving Myles and the others watching helplessly in silence. They


    desired Severin for two main reasons. The first was the benefits a seventh-grade alchemist could in the


    form of alchemical ingredients that the sect would likely confer on them.


    With Severin bing the Alchemy Chamber’s elder, he would effectively have control over the pill


    distribution across the entire sect. His status was on par with theirs, and they would have to go through


    him to request any paragon-level pills.


    The nine peak masters offered their congrattions with wry smiles before taking their leave one by


    one.


    “My friend,” said Lejeune of the Fifth Mountain as he prepared to leave, “do visit my Fifth Mountain


    when you have time to spare.”


    “Who are you calling ‘friend’? You should be addressing him as Elder!” Myles overheard that and


    red at Lejeune with some annoyance. He then turned to Severin with a smile and said, “Elder


    Severin, our Seventh Mountain wees you with open arms! It’d be great if you could teach some of


    the less-talented disciples the proper way of swordsmanship.”


    “Such shameless behavior from a paragon,” Lejeune grumbled softly when he heard the ttery from


    Myles. Even so, Lejeune was well aware that Severin stood as his equal. A seventh-grade alchemist’s


    status was on par with that of a paragon, and Severin had the


    potential to reach even greater heights on ount of his youth and talent. There mighte a day


    where he would be an eighth- grade alchemist, the record of which was still unbeaten in Southsky


    except for their previous sect leader!


    With that much potential, even royal paragons would have to show him respect. Lejeune had nothing to


    lose by offering a few words of ttery. As he considered those aspects, he turned to Severin and said,


    “Haha, well said from Myles. I should call you Elder Severin now. Doe visit my Fifth Mountain as


    well.”


    Severin chuckled. “Of course, of course!”


    After bidding the nine peak masters goodbye, Severin was about to return to Pearl Light Isle when a


    wave of gasps reached his ears. He nced to the side and saw a group of disciples from the Seventh


    and Sixth Mountains gathered nearby. They were all drawn by themotion.


    The Seventh and Sixth Mountains were the closest to Pearl Light Isle, and around a hundred disciples-


    both men and women-watched him curiously.
