Severin assessed his newfound attainment and nodded in satisfaction. In the seven months since he started, he had progressed from the level one supreme saint to level six supreme saint. The progress made was nothing short of astounding.
The breakthrough had implications beyond just his growth in attainment. It deepened his understanding of alchemy, and he believed that becoming a seventh-grade alchemist was soon within reach.
After becoming a level six supreme saint, Severin chose to take a breather instead of pushing for further progress. It was important to balance work with rest, and thus he emerged from seclusion a day later.
Upon exiting, Diane and the other girls promptly came to greet him. The spectacle caused by his breakthrough was still evident, and the spiritual energy that had been drawn from a radius of a hundred miles continued to shroud Pearl Light Isle in mist.
When Wuhlricht saw Severin emerge from seclusion, he remarked enviously, "Congratulations on yet another breakthrough." How he wished that progress came as naturally to him as it did with Severin, who made a breakthrough not long after the previous one.
Felipe and the others nodded approvingly as well upon when they saw Severin.
Severin was satisfied by everyone's progress. "I'm going to prepare a batch of pills for everyone after taking a couples of days off to rest. It won't take long for you to improve by leaps and bounds and surpass ordinary elite disciples."
Wuhlricht and Felipe nodded in agreement. "Haha, that is to be expected! The treatment we receive is even better than most of the elite disciples!" Wuhlricht commented.
Becoming a sixth-grade alchemist would allow Severin to craft numerous sixth-grade medium-rank pills such as the Crystal Spring Pill. Even core disciples received only two of those per month, making them a scarce recourse. By contrast, Pearl Light Isle had the privilege of consuming sixth-grade pills like candy, all courtesy of Severin. Many elite disciples would be envious if they found out.
