"Sofia! You're back!" Birk expressed his joy upon seeing Sofia's return. He stood up right away and approached her."Is this Severin, your boyfriend?" Birk noticed Severin's presence at once and was struck by the young man's handsomeness. Having been told about Severin's impressive talent in alchemy by Sofia, he began to understand why she was so captivated by him.Severin smiled and addressed the Birk, saying, "I'm Severin. It is my pleasure to meet you, father-in-law."A faint smirk appeared at the corners of Birk's mouth after Severin addressed him as 'father-in-law' with no hesitation whatsoever.The other elders exchanged slightly bemused glances. From the looks of it, Sofia's relationship with Severin was more complex than that of a simple couple.Sheila chimed in with a smile, "Uncle, Sofia is now Severin's third wife."Birk laughed and said, "Oh? Sofia told me earlier that he needed to provide a betrothal gift. I'm appalled that she is already his third wife even though I

It was already getting difficult for Birk to contain his excitement as he opened another bottle and peered inside. His hands trembled slightly, and the porcelain bottle nearly slipped from his grasp. "This... This...""What is it?" One of the grand elders could not hold back any longer and rushed over. He took the bottle from Birk and inspected its contents. As he beheld what lay within, he gasped in shock and exclaimed, "These… These are third-rank high-level pills! This means that the young man here is a third-rank high-rank alchemist!""What?!" The other grand elder hurried over with an astonished expression. "You're right. There's no doubt that these are third-grade high-rank pills, and there's a hundred of them!""His talent is simply extraordinary!""Agreed! Where did you find such a prodigy, Miss Sofia? His alchemical skills are beyond comparison!""These pills could even allow our sect to cultivate several saints!"The elders engaged in a lively discussion after being tho

Sofia frowned and retorted, "Do they intend to turn against us simply because two of their guys have reached level two saint? Aren't they afraid of our strength if we throw everything on the line to defend our sect? Our disciples are almost on par with theirs in terms of attainment."Birk then explained, "They haven't declared war against us yet, but the son of the Unbeaten Wind Sect's leader is interested in you. He pleaded with his father to arrange marriage."Sofia was flabbergasted. "Didn't you tell him that Severin and I are already together?"Birk responded, "I did inform them, but their attainment is so high that they hardly take us seriously. They even threatened to attack our sect if you didn't return within a week to accept their marriage proposal.""They're crossing the line." Severin's face soured, his anger simmering to a boil."This is utter ludicrousness. Forcing a marriage? These people are unreasonable," Sheila added indignantly.Diane reassured Sofia, "Don't wor

Severin chuckled awkwardly and replied, "Oh, you jest. I'd be uncomfortable if you, my father-in-law, addressed me as senior."Birk joined in the laughter and said, "You're quite the joker! Just like I am. Haha!"Glancing at the elders and Grand elders, Birk continued, "I guess it's no longer necessary to continue with today's meeting then. I will hand each of you a third-grade high-rank pill, and we'll gather tonight for a toast to my son-in-law—our guest of honor! When tomorrow comes, we'll focus on our training and do our best to secure a breakthrough in our attainment."He then said to Severin, "I won't have a lot of free time tomorrow, but Sofia will be with you and she can show you around the sect too. When I'm available, we can grab a drink or two. Do enjoy your stay here!"Severin nodded with a smile. "Of course. I'll make the most of my time here. You and the rest of the sect can focus on advancing your attainment. Don't worry about me."Sofia playfully interjected with a

Birk, well aware of Meldrick's sentiments, observed the latter's displeased countenance and knew that Meldrick was deeply unsettled. However, he paid little mind to Meldrick's frustration because his talents were still rather ordinary. Furthermore, Severin's alchemical prowess was remarkable, even surpassing that of the two grand elders, while Meldrick had no aptitude for alchemy whatsoever.Meldrick sat down beside Birk. He had been promoted to protector a few days ago, and it was supposed to be a cause for joy. However, his mood has plummeted since then.After a moment of contemplation, he began, "I'd like to express some of my concerns about Sofia marrying an unaffiliated practitioner. Wouldn't it be more appropriate for her to marry a sect leader's son or a gifted member of our sect? Aren't you worried that her reputation might be in jeopardy after you allowed him to marry someone like that?"Birk's silence prompted Meldrick to continue, "Worse still, that man already has two wi

Back in his courtyard, Meldrick began drinking heavily to drown his sorrows in solitude. When nightfall came, Draven eventually joined Meldrick and asked, "How did it go? It was Severin, wasn't it?"Meldrick sneered bitterly and said, "Duh. Who else could it be?"As he took another swig of wine, he said in despair, "He's a third-grade alchemist, and his attainment level is much higher than mine. How am I supposed to compete with him? It's already set in stone. Her father seems to be very pleased with Severin. I never expected him to have such remarkable talent in alchemy. He ascended to third-grade alchemist so swiftly, and I have no idea if he's a third-grade low-rank or a third-grade medium-rank alchemist. All I know is that he's like the most precious treasure in the eyes of our sect leader. After all, he can give our sect leader lots of third-grade pills."Draven continued with a wry smile, "I think it's best that you accept things as they are. You're very talented, and there ar

Upon hearing that they would be able to receive some pills, Draven leaped up in joy as he asked, "He's distributing pills?""Yes. You are both allowed to collect one each, so hurry along," the female disciple replied with a smile.However, Meldrick frowned and asked, "I thought thirty third-grade low-rank pills had been distributed yesterday afternoon. Grand Elder mentioned that the pills had all been given out, and there were none left. Why are pills being distributed again? Did the Grand Elder refine some more?"The female disciple grinned. "The pills that are being distributed aren't third-grade low-rank pills. They're third-grade medium-rank pills, of which a hundred of them are being distributed. Your share is included, so go over there and claim them.""Third-grade medium-rank pills? Has the first grand elder made a breakthrough in his alchemy skills? Something doesn't seem quite right. It should be impossible to produce so many at one time!" Meldrick, still somewhat dizzy fr

Meldrick smiled wryly and remarked, "Yes, but the key word there is 'some'. Unless the people in our sect reach the attainment of level two saints, it'll remain very challenging for us. Nonetheless, these pills are a blessing. With these, we won't need to be so afraid when facing them."The two of them conversed for a while before proceeding to seek out their grand elder to obtain the pills. Once they received their pills, Draven returned to his living quarters and secluded himself to begin training. He was intent on pushing his attainment to newer heights.Meldrick, on the other hand, resumed drinking in his courtyard after receiving the pill. The alcohol soon left him completely wasted, thus dulling his focus during training. In the end, he retired to his room and drifted into slumber.It was already morning by the time he woke up. As he sat in the courtyard, his eyes lit up, and he muttered to himself, "How did that idea not come to me sooner? Birk is reluctant to let Sofia marry
