Severin beamed as he collected the pills. It had been half a year since he inherited the knowledge from the Grandiuno Sect's former leader at the Alchemy Tower. At long last, he could finally revel in excitement as he finally became a seventh-grade alchemist!The entire sect boasted only one seventh-grade alchemist, and that was Daniella, the Sixth Mountain's peak master and the Alchemy Chamber's elder. That alone showed just how much prestige a seventh-grade alchemist held.Severin calmed his excitement and descended back down to the island's courtyard. Diane's twinkling voice greeted him as she said, "Congratulations on becoming a seventh-grade alchemist, Severin!"Gilda, Sheila, and Sofia gathered around him too."See! I knew you could do it, Severin!" Gilda exclaimed with pride and tenderness in her eyes.Sheila and Sofia smiled too, and they both had a hint of admiration in their eyes. Though they were well aware of Severin's exceptional talent, it was still no less surprisin
The incoming 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 becoming an instructor. Though such instructors were nominally regarded as a teacher, they were nevertheless given a position as honorary elder. However, the salary, responsibilities, and authority were much more limited compared 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 e
In the opinions of the peak masters, acquiring Severin as an elder brought a deluge of benefits. Firstly, a seventh-grade alchemist stationed in their mountain could guarantee a steady supply of pills for their disciples. Secondly, resource allocation by the sect might slightly tilt in their favor.As a result, the peak masters of all nine mountains rushed to persuade Severin into joining them.Myles, the first of the peak masters who arrived, came to realize that his offer was becoming much less attractive in comparison to the other people's soaring bids. He anxiously approached Severin and said, "If you join the Seventh Mountain, I'll grant you the position of deputy peak master, two spiritual treasures, and two seventh-grade herbs! You'll also be given full access over our alchemy resources for your alchemy needs!"The surrounding peak masters scoffed at Myles' cunning tactic to sweeten the deal. They knew full well that the Seventh Mountain had little resources because their foc
The onlooking disciples could only smile wryly, wishing that they were in Severin's shoes. It was the peak masters' offers that startled them the most. While the disciples were still grappling with the shock of finding out what happened, the nine peak masters wrestled for Severin's coveted favor. After all, his rise to seventh-grade alchemist had sent shockwaves throughout the sect.Daniella, the Sixth Mountain's peak master and a renowned alchemist, had spent decades trying to go from sixth-grade high-rank to seventh-grade. Severin, however, achieved it in just over half a year!His prodigious talent more than deserved the attention of all the peak masters, and his youth was hinted at the potential for him to reach even greater heights, perhaps even becoming an eighth-grade alchemist in the future. Such an person would command the respect of even royal paragons, for the benefits to be gained from an eight-grade alchemist was simply too great. Thus, everyone valued the achievements h
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 become 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, Daniella, and the others were left with no other choice than to offer their congratulations. "Congratulations on becoming the Alchemy Chamber's elder, Severin!"As Severin gazed at Oskar's smile and listened to the peak masters' congratulatory remarks, he took a deep breath and gently accepted the token. He surmised that he was probably the first disciple in the Grandiuno Sect's history to become the Alchemy Chamber's elder.He suppressed his excitement and gesture
Everyone was in wide-eyed shock, but they soon erupted in a chorus of congratulatory wishes when they saw Severin look over. One after another, they offered him their congratulations.Severin acknowledged them with a nod and turned to reenter Pearl Light Isle. With his figure out of sight, a flurry of exclamations began to resonate among the disciples."This has to be a first for our sect!""He's the youngest seventh-grade alchemist in history, and the youngest elder of the Alchemy Chamber!""Is this what it's like to be a true genius? He joined the sect less than a year ago, and he's already making such big strides in cultivation and alchemy! If I had half his talent, I'd wake up with a smile every morning.""Don't bother making comparisons. He could kill a level nine supreme saint like Uzair while still a level seven supreme saint. Are you saying that you can take down a level five supreme saint even though you're only level three?""How is he so ridiculously talented when he e
When night came, burst of laughter and merriment echoed throughout the main courtyard at Peal Light Isle. Severin, his wives, along with Wuhlricht and the group of elders gathered around a crackling bonfire. They had plenty of barbequed meat to gorge themselves on, and spiritual wine to complement the meal.Diane was dressed in a snow-white gown that hugged her graceful curves. The skin on her face glowed like flawless porcelain even without makeup, and a hairpin adorned her black hair which she did in a sleek bun. Her crystal earrings shimmered due the glow of the bonfire, and she resembled an angel stepping out of a divine painting.When she took a bite of the barbeque meat, the juices and strong spiritual energy ignited her tastebuds. She nodded in excitement as she said, "Mmmm! Severin's barbequed meats are still as delicious as ever!"Gilda agreed. "Yeah, I haven't had Severin's signature barbecued meat in ages."A light blue cape draped over her gold-embroidered shirt that ac
"Sofia's here too?" Severin's eyes lit up as he chuckled. "Hehe. That's even better!"At the end of his sentence, he unleashed a surge of spiritual energy and stopped Sheila from pushing him outside of the room. After Sheila was trapped in Severin's embrace, her face turned red when she sensed Severin's robust energy.When Severin carried her into the room and secured the door with a defensive formation, she rolled her eyes and cursed softly at him, "You're... you're such a rascal."Her shyness turned him on even more, and he carried her straight to the bathroom. Sofia was startled when they barged in suddenly, and she jumped up like a startled rabbit. "Sofia, Severin... what are you doing here..."Sheila tried to explain. "He… this rascal here just came in..."Before long, the bathroom echoed with muffled moans that peppered the night's still silence.Dawn came, and the sun rose above the horizon and pierced through the window onto Severin's face. He was lying in between Sheila
