Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 1914

That area was designated especially for alchemists within the sect. Anyone with a fervent interest and desire in alchemy would be allowed to visit the area regardless of which mountain they belonged to. The tower in the center of the area stood out prominently, and it was surrounded by a bustling crowd not unlike that of a lively city center.

"Freshly-picked fifth-grade millennium-old Snowlotus! Get your freshly-picked fifth-grade Millennium-Old Snow Lotus here! I'm trading it for a level-five Breakthrough Pill!"

"I'm searching for a triple-chambered cauldron! I'd highly appreciate it if anyone has information on how to get one!"

"I'm from the Eighth Mountain where we do equipment production. Would anyone be interested in working with me to forge a cauldron? Triple-chambered cauldrons have a success rate of about sixty percent!"

"Don't miss out on the guides to the Alchemy Tower's ten halls! These are must-haves for newcomers! I have the Herbal Booklet, Identifying Medical Ingredients Booklet, Spirit Beast Booklet, and Pill Crafting Booklet! These all contain the Sixth Mountain's inherent secrets!"

Severin blinked as he soaked in the atmosphere. The bustling and lively nature of that place almost left him with the impression that he had returned to normal society. He observed the crowd silently and followed them toward the Alchemy Tower at the center of the plaza. His arrival naturally drew attention and caused a stir among the disciples.

"Isn't that the core disciples' robe? I've never seen him around before though. Could he be the sixth core disciple?"

"Yes. That's Severin!"

Thousands of years ago, Aleix, an eighth-grade alchemist, had achieved unprecedented fame in Southsky's attainment world. Being an eighth-grade alchemist was equivalent to becoming a paragon, and even the strongest of forces would have to show the utmost courtesy to such a figure. Someone like Aleix would be respected even in a talent-saturated place like Midland. Unfortunately, Aleix's single-minded devotion to alchemy hindered any attainment progress, which remained stagnant at that of a royal paragon. As a result, Aleix was killed during the unusually rampant emergence of beasts all those years ago.

Beneath Aleix's name was Celeste Mullin. She was known for her exceptional talent in alchemy and was the only one among the five core disciples of the Grandiuno Sect with tremendous proficiency in that field.

Severin recognized Celeste's name. Rumor had it that she was already a sixth-grade alchemist at a young age and had the potential to become an eighth-grade alchemist in the future.
