Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 2119

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 surprising to learn of his rise to seventh-grade. Such a feat was beyond their wildest dreams. After all, were it that easy to accomplish, Daniella would not have been the sole seventh-grade alchemist.

Wuhlricht and Felipe approached him with beaming smiles.

"Your talent is alchemy is simply astonishing. It's only been a few months, and yet you're already on such a level." Felipe chuckled and stroked his beard.

Upon realizing that his ascent had caused a stir, he excused himself and went over to where Myles was. He cupped his hands in greeting and said, "You're too kind. I merely got lucky when I succeeded in refining a seventh-grade pill."

Myles chuckled at Severin's humility. "Don't be so modest. Luck, you say? I for one, would beg to differ. Reaching seventh-grade is not a matter of luck." He paused briefly and smiled, "Our sect has only one other seventh-grade alchemist, and that's Daniella."

Other people might not be aware of a seventh-grade alchemist's true value, but Myles certainly did. Many elders and peak masters would likely cherish Severin even more.

Those who could convince him to be affiliated with their mountain would thus be able to bolster their own ranks. Be it the steady supply of pills or the guidance he could offer to young minds, a few years under his tutelage could boost the legacy left behind. That was why so many peak masters came to Pearl Light Isle. Myles, being from the Seventh Mountain, was closest to Pearl Light Isle and thus reached there first.
