Severin had passed the exam with such sheer speed that everyone was left reeling in shock. The Alchemy Tower space was a simulation that existed in a space of its own, and it was established by the Grandiuno Sect's fifth sect leader to remain unaffected by events outside of the tower.
Upon entering the fifth floor, Severin promptly familiarized himself with the next assessment. The test involved using various spirit beast materials to refine fifth-grade pills. The specific type of pill was left to the discretion of the person taking the assessment, and no time limit was specified. However, he had to produce at least a minimum of a thousand types of pills.
Severin's expression turned much more serious compared to before. "It gets more challenging with each floor, and I didn't think that this floor would require me to use spirit beast material to create pills."
In the past, Severin used only herbs when crafting pills and rarely incorporated material from spirit beasts. However, the alchemists in Bleurealm regarded spirit beast material as being of higher quality than herbs. The energy core, flesh, and blood of level five spirit beasts were prized alchemical ingredients, and much higher-quality materials could even be obtained from level six or level seven spirit beasts.
The practitioners of many forces and families would hunt for spirit beasts and bathe their children in the blood, believing it could help them gain talent.
Spirit beasts were a challenge for Severin, and he finally understood why the Alchemy Tower's assessments were so difficult. From what he knew, even talented alchemists such as Celeste struggled with the fifth floor's assessment and needed several years to succeed.
Even Emery, who was second only to Celeste, had been stuck on the fifth floor.
Those two examples showed just how difficult the fifth floor was.
As Severin wiped the sweat from his forehead, his eyes gradually red as he took on a focused expression. He seemed to have a singular goal in mind as he said, "I'm not going to let a fifth-grade pill stump me!"
His gaze remained fixed on the cauldron, and his consciousness monitored every movement of the spiritual liquid within.
More than half a year had passed since Severin entered the Alchemy Tower. He relentlessly executed nine hundred recipes crafted from spirit beast materials, and each successful crafting earned approval from the tower.
Only a few more and Severin could pass that floor successfully!
