Gilda started complaining, "It's totally a good thing for me now that I know what kind of person he really is."Wuhlricht balled up his hand and said angrily, "How could that jerk call you that? Yes, Skyblue Sect is not as strong and powerful as Horizon Sect, but at least we are also a first-tier sect. I have no idea that's how they see us! What a jerk!""Don't be angry. It's in the past now. I will train hard and tell him that he's not the strongest and most gifted! He has nothing to be proud of anymore!" Gilda said with her gritted teeth and looked determined.Wuhlricht nodded and was proud of Gilda. "I'm really glad you can pull yourself up from this."Gilda smiled. "Well, it's all because of Severin. He talked with me for a long time and helped me to think it through. He made me understand a lot of things."After hearing that, Wuhlricht liked Severin even more, and a thought sprung into his mind. It would be perfect if Severin and Gilda could be together. "Severin is very gift
After taking some time to think of it, Severin decided to tell Diane, Sheila, and Sofia about what just happened. However, he was too embarrassed to tell them that Wuhlrict had asked for his help to save Gilda, so that remained a secret between him and Wuhlricht."Gosh. So that's how Gilda's body recovered." Sheila was shocked to hear it.Sofia said, "What's the matter wrong with Frederick? I mean just look how fabulous and beautiful Gilda is and she loves him so much. It was not Gilda's fault for losing her first night to someone else. How could he blame her and deny her love to him?"Diane, the logical thinker, said, "I actually think it's good for Gilda. At least, now she knew Frederick didn't love her like she thought. If she married him, her marriage would not be good either.""Exactly! Does it really matter much if he was the one who took Gilda's first night? What a bastard. I'd slap him if I were there!" Sheila said angrily while feeling sorry for Gilda."Don't do that! His
Sheila mustered an awkward chuckle.Diane scrutinized Selene's attainment and exclaimed in joy, "Did you just make a breakthrough to level six warrior king? This is fantastic! You've made so much progress!"Selene giggled. "My attainment level was at a very stable stage, so it's only natural that I'd make a breakthrough."Selene then continued, "Can I go play with Aunt Elsa?"Selene bonded well with Elsa, and Elsa frequently spent her free time with Selene. As a result, Selene would always seek Elsa's company as well when she had time to spare.Diane nodded and agreed. "Of course, but make sure you return before it gets dark.""Thanks! I promise I won't stay too late." Selene smiled before flying off. She did not need to go too far though, since Elsa's place was relatively close by."Hello, Selene!""What have you been up to these past two days? We haven't seen you around."Those who lived in that area were female alchemists. They happily approached Selene to chat with her as
In the blink of an eye, eight days had passed. Severin then went to see the great elder, the second elder, and other senior members of the sect. He found the elders having a friendly game of chess in a small pavilion.Upon noticing Severin's presence, the great elder—Felipe—chuckled and said, "Haha, it's been a while since we've seen you. What brings you out for a stroll today?"The second elder, Samuel, greeted Severin with a warm smile. "Pleased to see you again after so long."Severin then explained, "Well, I've been busy refining pills, and these are the fruits of my recent labors. I've saved a couple for myself, so I'd like to hand over the majority to you for you to distribute as you see fit."With a wave of his hand, several porcelain bottles appeared on the table. Felipe expressed his gratitude and said, "Thank you. You are very efficient!"Severin then stood up and said, "I'll leave you two to your chess game. I should go and fetch some more spiritual herbs."Once he mad
"What?! Was my name among the disciples who were supposed to receive a pill? Are you sure they mentioned me?" An elite disciple exclaimed in disbelief. He was a level five saint, and it had been ages since he last received a pill. The last pill he got was a fourth-grade low-rank pill, which was not very effective at his current level unless he was given a substantial number. However, obtaining such lower-grade pills was a challenge in itself. Fourth-grade low-rank pills were typically reserved for disciples who were level one and level two saints. They were able to utilize such pills better because they could get the most out of the effects.Over the years, a dearth of fourth-grade medium-rank pills had caused many disciples to remain saints at levels four, five, and six. It was always a protracted endeavor to make breakthroughs without access to suitable pills, and those disciples had to endure slow progress.The disciple's eyes lit up. "Haha, Elder Severin must have provided some
"More than two thousand? I'm not hearing it wrongly, am I?" Thierry gasped in disbelief. That someone had produced a remarkable quantity of fourth-grade pills that included over a thousand each of low-rank and medium-rank pills was undoubtedly an unprecedented feat within the sect's history."Haha, you heard it right. Look at our fellow peers that are ahead of us in the line. They've all received the pills! Our elders have advised those who have been given a pill to train diligently and achieve our respective breakthroughs. We must also do our best to keep our lips sealed about the presence of a fourth-grade medium-rank alchemist in our sect. We wouldn't want to stir up jealousy from the other sects," the disciple explained to Thierry before adding, "Elder Severin's prowess is out of this world. Our sect will grow stronger and stronger with him around!""But hasn't he joined us about ten or so days ago? How is it even possible? The speed at which he refines pills is downright frighte
Gilda, however, smiled and remarked, "But you are a hero. You've produced so many pills for the sect. Even the three fourth-grade low-rank alchemists were inspired by your diligent efforts. They came to realize that they should work harder on producing more pills, and I think this little competition is doing wonders.""By the way, where are Diane and the others?" Gilda asked curiously when she noticed that none of Severin's wives had come out to meet them.Severin smiled and replied, "They are all busy training. Their attainments have become more stable, and they're eager to improve even more. They're motivated to grow stronger because of the opportunity to enter the Paradise Secret Realm. All of them are curious to know what it's like inside, so they're eager to journey into the realm with me."Gilda then suggested, "Would you like to take a short break and take a walk with me?"Severin was taken aback for a moment. After all, Gilda was known for her aloof demeanor as the sect's m
Severin looked at Gilda and struggled to find the right words. After contemplating for a moment, he said, "You're right. As long as you don't take it to heart, these rumors will soon pass. People tend to be drawn to the latest gossip, but they'll eventually move on to the next new thing."Gilda nodded in agreement. "I know that nothing's going to change even if I get angry over it. I have reason to suspect that the Horizon Sect's members are behind this. There's a high chance that they're spreading it to tarnish my reputation." She paused for a moment before continuing, "In a way, that's a good thing. It's further proof that Frederick isn't a good person. I'm glad I didn't marry him. My life might have been ruined if I had."Severin felt a slight tremor hearing this. Gilda was indeed a virtuous woman with strong principles. After contemplating for a moment, he took a courageous step and gently held Gilda's hand. "You're an amazing woman, Miss Gilda. Perhaps you can consider dating me
